When she came to the chamber of secrets, Medusa said to Manda, "the believers of Hermes can see the value of things. You must know that this pearl is valuable, but don''t be impulsive. Don''t eat it. If ordinary people eat the Pearl of faith, it will bring terrible consequences."


    What do you say?


    If you eat pearls directly, Manda hasn''t eaten them.


    But Manda ate a lot of pearls transformed by the balance.


    "What are the consequences?"


    "You know, I am the only one of our three sisters who is not God, because I ate the Pearl of faith at an inappropriate time."


    What is an inappropriate time?


    "After my two sisters became gods, I was a little anxious. Just like ordinary children, I would get angry, lose my temper, say annoying words and do annoying things until I drove my two sisters crazy,


    They had just become gods at that time. There were many things they didn''t understand. In order to help me, they secretly brought the most precious treasure of the divine world to the earth and gave it to me. They said it could make me a God.


    The most precious treasure in the divine world is the belief in pearls. I ate 30 of them. At that time, I really thought I had become a God. Remember Skira, the ugly woman with six heads. I always hated her, but because of her equal strength, I had nothing to do with her. Since I ate the pearls, things have become easier. I can make her life worse than death in ten breaths, If she hadn''t begged, I could tear off all six of her heads in ten more breaths,


    I really thought I was a God. I defeated all the sea monsters, including the whirlpool monster calybdis, including the original sirens, including the sea monsters born by the angry God in the sea, and even some sea fairies who became gods are not my opponents. I fantasized that I could live in Poseidon''s palace and have my own authority under his royal seal. I even fantasized about being in Olympia I can have a place in the mountain,


    But later, I found that the power brought by the belief in pearls was not eternal. That power could be consumed, but after it was exhausted, I was in a very awkward situation. The first thing was to seek revenge. All kinds of sea demons looked for me everywhere. They all killed me. I was almost killed several times. That''s not the point,


    The point is that my divinity has been weakened, which makes my chance of becoming a God even more slim.


    What I can''t stand most is that I became the laughing stock of the sea. The sea gods called me a stupid delusion. Can you understand my dilemma at that time? "


    Manda nodded and said, "I know. I''ve been young, I''ve been out, and I''ve paid for pretending."


    Medusa said blankly, "I can''t understand you."


    "My words don''t matter. What matters is what happened later?"


    "As you can guess, I began to be annoying again, more annoying than before. I forced my two sisters to find faith pearls for me, and they agreed under all kinds of helplessness,


    Then I became strong to teach the people who hurt me, and the power of faith was exhausted. I forced my sister until one day I woke up and knew I had gone the wrong way, but it was too late. My divinity had been exhausted, and I could never become a God,


    Now you should know how terrible it is to believe in pearls. I am the daughter of God and can''t stand its consumption. You are just a believer of God. Your divinity is not worth mentioning compared with that of me. Even if you eat only one, it may lead to a decline in your status. You may lower your class and even lose the chance to become a demigod forever. "


    It''s rare that Medusa would talk to Manda so seriously. Manda''s cold sweat flows layer by layer. Although she has been transformed by the gold skeleton balance, Manda ate nine pearls. What consequences will these nine pearls bring? Will he become a fifth order believer directly?


    Seeing Manda''s dull expression, Medusa said affectionately: "Manda Claude, a fickle man, a greedy man, a brave man, but you are my man. At this time, only I can help you. That pearl is too tempting. You can''t control it. Give it to me. I''ll keep it for you. I promise I won''t eat it."


    This sentence made Manda wake up. The dog can''t change what to eat in the sky. It seems that the snake is the same.


    He looked at Medusa, smiled and asked, "belief in pearls is so terrible. Why do you say they are the most precious treasure in the divine world?"


    "Believing in pearls is the embodiment of the power of faith, which comes from mortals'' prayers and sacrifices to gods. Gods can eat pearls and they can gain power from them."


    "Why can gods eat? Won''t their divinity be damaged?"


    Medusa looked at Manda in surprise: "of course there will be no damage. They have the power to maintain the divinity, which is called the original power."


    "The original power is the power to maintain divinity?"


    "Yes," Medusa nodded, "this is the most fundamental difference between God and man."


    "How can the gods obtain the original power?"


    "I''m surprised. Once every God is born, the original power is fixed. No matter what method is used, it can''t be improved. It should be related to the ancestry of the gods,


    The more the original power of the gods, the higher the power of belief they can control, which is probably several times that of the original power. The original power cannot be perceived. Even the gods do not know how much their original power is, but it can be estimated according to the ancestry of the gods,


    Like your god Hermes, his original strength will not be too high. His blood is far less than Ares and Hephaestus, even Apollo and Artemis. Compared with his parents, I always think he has no possibility of becoming the Lord of the gods. "


    "Stop blaspheming." Manda touched Medusa''s lips, and medusa kissed Manda''s fingers deeply.


    "My man, my good man, give me that pearl. I promise I won''t hurt you..."


    I don''t know why, Medusa began to feel sleepy again. Maybe it was too cold.


    Before long, she fell asleep and Manda put her into her body.


    Medusa was sleepy, not because it was cold, but because Manda put some powder on her fingers.


    One of her words echoed in Manda''s mind:


    "This is the most fundamental difference between God and man."


    He knew what he should do now. He returned to the seven star mountain through the underworld, took out the gold skeleton balance, and put all the pearls into the tray.


    The cyan liquid appeared in front of him, and Manda ate it without hesitation. This time, he didn''t even feel the pain.


    The original power is so precious that these pearls alone can''t be exchanged too much. Maybe the balance itself has to eat some kickbacks.


    But it doesn''t matter. What matters is that Manda knows what to do.


    According to Medusa, the belief in pearls comes from the prayers and sacrifices of mortals to gods. The two tribes conquered by themselves shout the name of mengdabaikega every day, which is obviously a kind of prayer. If they want to harvest more pearls, they must learn to sacrifice.


    Manda took Kunta back to the tribe and discussed the sacrifice with chief boyouin.


    It was not so easy. The paiwu scholars were deprived of their faith by the Bayers, so that they did not understand the concept of sacrifice at all.


    Kunta doesn''t know what process and sacrifice to use. He hasn''t heard of the revered name of mengdabaikuga.


    Manda was also at a loss. It was funny. He was sacrificing to himself, but he didn''t know how to please himself.


    Since he is a believer of Hermes, it must be not much different from Hermes'' taste. Hermes is not picky about sacrifices, as long as there is cooked food. That night, Manda asked the chief to cook six prey and asked Kunta to sacrifice to Mengda according to Hermes'' sacrifice process.


    Kunta hesitated: "I don''t know what your purpose is? Isn''t Mengda you?"


    Manda said solemnly, "in fact, Mengda is not me. He is an ancient god. I use his name to save these poor paiwu scholars."


    Kunta blinked his big eyes and said, "this kind of thing can''t be trifled with. The sacrifice pointing to the unknown will attract the attention of the unknown. If it is a powerful unknown, we may face an unbearable disaster."


    This sentence reminds Manda that baikuga is an ancient hero of paiwu scholars. If he does not really die, if he becomes an unknown existence, once he is recruited, the problem will be serious.


    Even if he was dead, it would be hard to deal with if other gods watched here. Even if Hermes looked at him, Manda couldn''t make a reasonable explanation.


    Hermes... Harumas, the old goat said that this contract has been counted, and the God name of harumas is true.


    It is a safe choice to offer this sacrifice to harumas and let Hermes eat meat and drink soup himself.


    Manda modified the sacrificial process, changed the sacrificial object to harumas, and rewritten the prayer to make harumas the object of prayer, but the name of mengdabaikuga was repeatedly mentioned in the prayer.


    To tell the truth, this makes Manda feel a little distressed, but it''s not too stable for things involving gods.


    The next day, under the auspices of Kunta, the tribe successfully completed the sacrifice, but the result disappointed Manda.


    He received only three pearls, and there was no difference in the chorus of peace.


    What''s the problem? Hermes ate all the meat? Too little soup?


    This possibility may not be the main reason. Manda really felt the surge of power. It was very strong, but she couldn''t cough out pearls.


    Where did the first amazing production come from? Manda recalled the process carefully.


    He helped chaigesang''s tribe defeat the Bair people. Chaigesang shouted the name of Mengda baikega with all the members in the center of the tribe. At that time, the center of the tribe was also full of Bair heads.


    Head, head, sacrifice


    Is it... That a sacrifice? An unintentional sacrifice?


    As soon as Manda patted her forehead, it seemed that she had used the wrong sacrifice this time.


    What mengdabaikuga likes is not cooked food, but people.


    Why do you have such a preference? Manda doesn''t feel particularly cruel.


    Where can I find someone as a sacrifice? Damn Bayer people are not coming these days!


    Thinking, Manda suddenly felt her heart throbbing. Subconsciously, she took out a spell and held it tightly in the palm of her hand.


    This is the spell made from Odysseus'' blood. Manda concentrated and heard Odysseus'' voice:


    "Why are you so stupid?"


    "What qualifications do you have to stay here and be king?"


    "I have continued your life for hundreds of years. Why do you..."


    Twenty seconds was very short, and with the intermittent sound, Manda could only hear these words clearly.


    Who is Odysseus talking to? That''s a good answer.


    He turned to boyouin and said, "how long has Lars Lola been the king of Adam?"


    Boyouin thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don''t remember. I have to ask my grandmother. My grandmother said that when she was very young, Ramses was the king."


    Manda looked carefully at boyouin''s face. He should be about fifty.


    "How old is your grandmother?"


    "I should be 163 years old this year!"


    "How old are you?"


    "Next year is exactly 120 years old!"


    "Those girls you sent before are very old?"


    "They can all have children. They are not even 80 years old."
