Manda took the carriage and took the lion girl, worm and old yaman to the haze valley.
He knew from the beginning that all this had something to do with tifeng. All three of them came from the resentment haze valley. They were once tifeng''s believers and did not get rid of the smell of the valley. As the old witch once said, no matter where they went, they could not get rid of tifeng''s gaze. The best way to save them is to go back to the haze Valley and strive for tifeng''s forgiveness.
Old yaman is a rare subordinate. Of course, Manda can accept his death.
Lion girl and worm are Manda''s most important family. Apart from her own life, Manda cherishes them most. The reason why they are delayed today is that Manda really doesn''t want to deal with tifeng.
He knows the strength of tifeng and the virulence of tifeng. He has no capital to negotiate with tifeng. No matter how much confidence he has in himself, the wisdom of mortals is not enough to compete with the gods.
In the cave, after Tiffany was free, he once said to him that he never owed money. The next meeting will meet Manda''s wish.
You can''t expect the gods to keep their promises, but it''s the only chip Manda can think of.
Pluto and Lulian exhausted all means to make the three people reach their destination alive.
Leond received the letter from the carrier pigeon in advance and waited at the mouth of the valley early. Without too much inquiry and cumbersome etiquette, leond only regarded Manda as an old friend who had been reunited for a long time and warmly welcomed her to the valley.
Everything in the valley has not changed. The castle hanging on the rock wall is still mysterious, and the temple hanging in mid air is still magnificent and solemn.
The snake demon dostany is still so charming, the millipede Charles is still so obscene, and the old witch Portia is also there. She looked at the situation of the lioness, worm and old yaman. She wanted to say something, but she stopped talking, sighed and went back to her cave.
Leond prepared a banquet, but Manda was not in the mood to eat and drink. He wanted to negotiate with tifun immediately.
But Typhon didn''t want to see it. Leond said to Manda, "I have obtained the oracle. The master will come to the temple tomorrow and have a good rest. Tomorrow we will go to the temple to offer sacrifices."
Manda didn''t sleep all night, which is the same as the exam. Since she has a night''s preparation time, she must think about things more comprehensively.
At dawn the next day, they ascended the altar. Leond offered three cows and three sheep to tifeng. When the blood filled the sacrificial vessel, he began to pray silently to tifeng.
Listening to leond''s prayer, Manda, who was calm, immediately became nervous. He rechecked his negotiation strategy and always felt that there would be some mistakes.
Mistakes are inevitable, but the principle of negotiation remains unchanged. In any case, we can''t turn against tifeng. We can''t say any threatening words. Not only can we not save them, we have to pay for our little life.
The best result is to use that wish to exchange these three lives. If tifeng doesn''t agree, leave them in the resentment haze Valley as long as they live. If tifeng doesn''t even agree to this, he will plead desperately. If he can''t, he will give up old yaman. His family is more important than his subordinates.
If a wish can only be exchanged for one person, worm and lioness can choose one
Manda bit her teeth. That was the last thing he wanted to see.
Thinking, time has passed for a long time, but leond has no response.
Manda asked, "didn''t the gods come?"
Leond sighed softly, "don''t worry, the master promised to come, but before he came, there are several things to confirm with you in advance. You should know what the master thinks of you?"
What does that mean? Pull me in?
This is impossible. Although Manda has no concept of loyalty, he knows the end of betraying Hermes.
He deliberately replied, "I can''t guess the mind of the gods."
"In the master''s temple, I hope you can maintain absolute sincerity. Don''t forget that you once entered the stage under this statue. Although you were stolen a drop of the God''s blood by the cunning Hermes, you still made an oath to the master after all."
Manda laughed. It was a question he couldn''t answer. The degree of embarrassment was equivalent to public execution.
He could only perfunctorily say, "why mention the past?"
Leond shook his head and said, "in fact, the master has been watching you. He appreciates you very much. He knows you have different ambitions. You think the level of the demon God is too low to have the strength to dominate, but now the situation is different,
Demon believers can be promoted to level 4 at least. Sphinx and Hydra are the favourites of the gods and can be promoted to level 6. If you think this is not enough, you can directly become the believer of the master, just like me! "
Leond stared at Manda and said slowly, "I have become a believer of the master. Like the believers of the LORD God, I can be promoted to the eighth level, but the difference is that we don''t need such a complex ceremony or such a high sacrifice. The master even prepared artifacts for us. Isn''t it much better than serving those arrogant Lord gods?"
Manda laughed and said, "we shouldn''t say these blasphemous words in the temple."
"Are you worried about me competing with you for the name of God? You don''t have to worry. The master has more than one artifact and more than one demigod that can be cultivated. Moreover, I have another good news to tell you. If you are willing to obey the master, you can retain Hermes''s skills and obtain all the skills of the master from level 1 to level 5. Isn''t this enough to impress you?"
Such conditions are really exciting. Manda can''t find any reason to be picky.
But that was not what he cared about. He took a deep breath and asked a question: "is it the gods or the believers of the gods who are talking to me now?"
Manda had long felt that the man sitting next to him was no longer leond. Leond was not qualified to make such a commitment.
Hearing this question, leond stopped, and all his actions, expressions and sounds stopped.
Under normal circumstances, Manda should stand up calmly and leave the temple as quickly as possible.
But now he didn''t dare to move. A strong dignity made him temporarily lose his ability to move.
After sitting in silence for a long time, leond said, "say your wishes."
The voice came not from leond''s mouth, but from his chest. There was an extra face on his chest, which was talking to Manda.
Manda shivered and said, "I, I want to go back to my subordinates. One is holna and the other is worm. Worm is a worm..."
"Hydra must stay. Sphinx, you can take it away, but her power will disappear. As for the book worm, I will give him more power as compensation."
Manda was stunned. It was much better than he expected.
Just as he wanted to give a gift of thanks, he heard the face say, "say your wishes."
Well, aren''t I finished?
"I just want my men back. I have no other wishes."
"A mortal, a worm, is worthy of being compared with a part of my soul?" the eyes on the face slowly turned and looked at Manda, "say your wish, your real wish."
How can there be such a good thing in this world? Saved the lioness and worm and made a wish?
Manda remembers a word, don''t underestimate the wisdom of the gods, don''t overestimate the kindness of the gods, and don''t show any greed at this time.
"Thank you for your generosity. I''m satisfied. I really have no other wishes."
His face was half silent, and there was a terrible silence in the temple.
"You have refused me once, and you want to refuse me a second time? Who gives you the courage?"
A piece of smoke and dust rose in the temple, and countless faces emerged in the smoke and dust. Tentacles spit out from the mouth of the face, and countless tentacles slowly crossed Manda''s face.
"I said, I never owe," all the faces said together, "say your wishes, or I''ll make you disappear completely."
