Odysseus''s hundred pearls plus his previous savings, a total of 112.
The phalanx on the right tray of the balance can grab up to 50 pearls at a time. Fifty pearls can form a blue liquid the size of a pineapple. Manda was intoxicated and swallowed the liquid in a few bites, enjoying the smooth pleasure.
The first liquid is really silky.
The second liquid was less silky, and Manda felt her throat become a little tight.
The third time, there were only twelve pearls left, and the liquid formed was much less, but this time, Manda felt pain when she swallowed it, as if a stick had been poked into her throat.
What''s the reason? Is it because the pearls in the back are not of good quality?
Manda didn''t think much. He came back once in a while. He took the time to deal with the government affairs.
During this time, the government affairs of the Seven Star Mountain were very boring. Sheltai and bucken were inseparable. For the time being, he didn''t have the energy to take care of the southwest and Southeast. Leond, who was neglected, put on a look of Haba and sent someone to make a covenant with Manda. Manda didn''t care about him. He was like a woman who didn''t let him be neglected. He never knew how to repent.
Most of the other government affairs are ordinary. Only paviu has sent a lot of good news. With his unremitting efforts, the Southwest has a bumper grain harvest again, with food security, the population is also soaring, the army is expanding, and finally exceeded 50000.
The situation is very good. Such a good situation makes Manda feel like fishing.
But Manda was still unable to move. Before he was promoted to the seventh level, he had to concentrate on swallowing the Pearl of faith. After staying in the Seven Star Mountain for two days, he returned to the boyouin tribe again. Thanks to his timely return, the two tribes he worked hard to manage almost merged in the two days he left.
The reason comes from the king of the sect. After defeating Odysseus, King ramus became the target of public criticism. Boyouin didn''t expect him to bring the enemy to the tribe. In his anger, he almost cut off ramus'' head.
Ramses showed the majesty of the king, not only did not yield, but listed boyouin''s crimes, and ordered boyouin to release himself immediately, otherwise he would become the enemy of the whole factional state.
Manda didn''t want the old king to die, but it was impossible to let him go back. When he left, he ordered Ramses to be detained temporarily. He knew that the old king had great prestige in the hearts of the paiwu scholars.
But Ramses'' prestige exceeded Manda''s expectation. When he learned that the king was imprisoned, the chaigesang tribe took the lead and asked boyouin to release the king.
Boyouin naturally refused to agree, and the two tribes clashed.
When he learned the whole story, Manda was very angry. He didn''t expect chaigesang to bite the hand that feeds him at this time.
He asked chaigesang to meet him in the tribe. Chaigesang came to boyouin''s cabin alone.
Manda looked at Chai Gesang and said nothing. He didn''t need to do such a thing himself, which would damage the image of a great hero.
Boyouin came forward and questioned chaigesang: "who took back your father''s body for you? Who saved your tribe? Who helped you defeat the ferocious Bayer? Where was Ramses when your tribe was in trouble? Now you have pointed the knife at mengdabaikuga. Where is your conscience?"
In the face of boyouin''s question, chaigesang did not make any explanation. He knelt down in front of Manda on one knee and lowered his head: "my people and I will never face the knife to mengdabaikuga. Mengdabaikuga is our hero and our God. That''s why I want boyouin to release the king. The king''s family is gathering other tribes, and they are coming!"
Boyouin laughed and said, "how many Bair people did mengdabaikuga kill? You think he will be afraid of those fools!"
"Mengda bakuga is not afraid of anyone, but he is the God of paiwu scholars, not the enemy of paiwu scholars. Rums is a coward and a soft egg. He can''t turn baikuga into an enemy for a soft egg."
Chaigesan was not good at expressing, but Manda understood what he meant.
He didn''t come here to rescue the king, but didn''t want to arouse the contradiction between Manda and the paiwu scholars.
This is in line with Manda''s idea, but only if the king knows how to cooperate.
The king is very uncooperative now. He has been on hunger strike since yesterday.
Manda has to talk to him. What if something happens to such a strong king?
When she came to the wooden house where the king lived, Manda sat by the bed.
The king lowered his eyelids and turned his eyes to look at Manda. He didn''t speak or express any expression.
Manda asked the waiter to bring food, a piece of raw and pickled mountain pork, a pheasant, a deer leg, a very rich meal.
There was a tempting smell in the oil, and even Manda couldn''t help licking her lips.
"Come on, there''s more wine." Manda poured Ramses a glass.
Rums''s lips closed and a smile appeared: "leave the food to my people. I don''t need it anymore."
"These foods are carefully prepared by the people for you. Do you want to live up to their wishes?"
"It''s not a betrayal, it''s love. I''m a mortal. If I take one more bite, they''ll take one less bite. You don''t know how precious food is to the sect officials. Ignorant young man, you know nothing about the sect officials,
I am the king of Parsons. I want to leave the pain to myself. I want to leave the best to my people and bear the wind and snow for my people. This is the mission that the king of Parsons must undertake,
Arrogant young man, you don''t know how difficult it is to survive. You don''t know how much effort I have paid for it. This is an important task you can''t bear. You just want to steal my kingdom and lead all the sect officials to the abyss of suffering! "
Manda sighed, "I know you''ve worked hard to survive, otherwise you wouldn''t have lived so many years."
Ramses said solemnly, "that''s the favor given to me by God. God knows that the priest needs me, so let me live to this day. I''m tired. I''m going to go. I''m going to the end of the world. That''s where I belong."
Manda nodded and said, "eat these things before you go to the end of the world."
Rums shook his head and said, "I say again, leave these food to my people. Food means nothing to me. If I eat more, they will eat less."
"It''s not bad. Eat. It''s the last meal anyway. After eating, I''ll take you on the road."
Ramses was surprised, looked at Manda and said, "you want to kill me?"
"This is also for the sake of your people. You lie here every day, do nothing, and don''t even get out of bed. See how tired the maid who takes care of you is. If you live one more day, they will work one more day. Since you have made the determination to die one day earlier and one day later, what''s the difference?"
Ramsey''s face turned white, whiter than the snow outside.
"You, you can''t kill me. My people are coming..."
"That''s how you sit here calmly and talk to me?" Manda sneered. "I can choose a new king among your people. They won''t refuse my kindness. They have hated you for so long!"
"This, this is God''s will. The scholars need me..."
Manda smiled. Never underestimate the face of a hypocrite. Their face is strong and rough, which can be comparable to aegis in a sense.
"It''s blasphemy to mention God from your mouth. The faction officials don''t need you. You need the faction officials. You have to absorb their lives. There are 133 stone statues in the cave to the west of your tribe. There are 133 lives in those stone statues!
You dare not destroy those stone statues, otherwise you will offend the Earth Goddess, and the divine power you absorbed will come to naught. It is their life that makes you, an old thing with a rotten smell, live to this day! "
Ramus gasped violently, "you, you slander me..."
"Really? Do you want me to move out those stone statues? Their bodies and facial features are very clear, and their people will recognize them!"
"That, that, that is their voluntary..."
"Oh ~ te ~" Manda spat on Ramses''s face. "You really interpret shamelessness to the extreme! You do everything you can to survive. How dare you say you''re not afraid of death!"
Manda stood up and put her golden finger on ramus''s chin. "Tell me, do you really want to go to the end of the world?"
Ramus shook his head silently with tears on his face.
"Eat everything if you don''t want to die!"
Ramses took the pickled pork and wolfed it down.
Manda took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Ramses: "remember every word on it. Don''t say a word wrong. It''s easy to die. I can help you at any time!"
……
Three days later, more than 70 tribal chiefs gathered in boyouin''s cabin. They had originally come to fight with boyouin, but now they have to listen to the king''s pre war mobilization here.
The war still needs to be fought, but the enemy has changed.
"The suffering of the missionaries is over. Meng dabaikuga, the son of the missionaries who have been wandering for many years, has brought us the sacred glory of harumas. The ferocious Bayers are on their way. The brave missionaries and soldiers will bury all the enemies in the snow field under the leadership of Meng dabaikuga."
The chiefs did not quite understand why the king had changed so much, but the situation was so that they did not have to pursue the reasons behind it.
Under the leadership of the king, they shouted the name of mengdabaikuga.
Manda went to the open place, spit out the Pearl in her mouth, whistled and called the snow eagle in the sky.
The snow Eagle stopped on Manda''s shoulder for a moment, ate two pieces of fresh meat and flew into the air again.
Manda breathed into her palm, sniffed and said, "I didn''t expect there were 10000 people."
Bayer''s army is coming. A whole 10000 people will arrive at the boyouin tribe in five days.
