Hephaestus made this lock of hair at Hermes''s request.


    This lock of hair has a special function to chase the flow of faith.


    It''s a little troublesome to use. First, it takes a long time to make this lock of hair recognize faith.


    The process of sacrifice just meets this condition.


    After recognizing faith, the hair will follow the power of faith. Under normal circumstances, it will catch up with Olympia and emerge from Athena''s spring of faith together with the Pearl of faith.


    But the hair flew to a barren mountain outside the border of the ROM road country.


    At the entrance of the mountain, the hair disappeared, which should be blocked by some kind of Dharma array. Although he did not see the final situation, Hermes could conclude that Athena was there.


    "Athena escaped from the hand of the Lord of punishment. She went to the earth and was very close to the seven star mountain."


    "How could this be possible!" Pan Shen took a breath.


    "Her faith floated there."


    "But the fountain of her faith is still in the temple of wisdom!"


    "That''s false!" Hermes sighed. "It can''t be said to be false. It''s the spring of faith of other gods. Athena stole the power of the God and left the spring of faith in the temple to confuse others, and she took her own spring of faith with her."


    "She''s on earth! She''s very close to the seven star mountain!" Pan Shen said hurriedly, "you have to tell Manda quickly. Thanks to not letting him go to the extremely cold place, you have to let him take precautions!"


    Pan was about to give the Oracle, but Hermes stopped him.


    "Why did she choose Manda? She wanted the power of faith, which is understandable, but why did she let Manda recruit believers for her?"


    Pan said, "she should have given an order to Odysseus. Odysseus found Manda!"


    "Why did Odysseus look for Manda?"


    "Because..." Pan thought for a long time, "because Manda is smart enough to find more believers for Athena in a short time, which only he can do."


    Hermes shook his head and said: "If there are 100000 believers, I''m afraid I can only find Manda, but Athena only wants 10000 believers. As long as she gives enough price, there are others who can do it. But when he finds Manda, it''s a very dangerous choice. Just like now, I will soon find out the truth. Asking mandaso for believers is almost equivalent to death. Do you think athena will be willing to die?"


    Pan Shen shook his head and said, "how could she be willing to die?"


    "Then who wants her to die?"


    Pan Shen thought for a long time and said, "Odysseus betrayed her!"


    "Odysseus betrayed her, indeed," murmured Hermes. "But why betray her?"


    "Because of hatred!" Pan answered firmly, "he waited for 2000 years and didn''t wait for the chance to become a demigod."


    "Do you remember that he lived two thousand years? A human who lived two thousand years will not take risks because of hatred. It''s too childish. There must be some other reason."


    Pan Shen shook his head and said, "don''t worry about Odysseus. Let Manda go back to the seven star mountain first. That''s our foundation. We can''t make mistakes."


    "What do you want him to do? Send him back to death? Although Athena has been badly hurt, it is definitely beyond mortals'' ability to deal with it. Go and stare at the Seven Star Mountain, and I will ask Aphrodite to help you. As a last resort, try not to conflict with Athena."


    "What about Manda?"


    "It''s a test," Hermes thought for a long time. "Let him go to the extreme cold to find the dog tooth Ripper."


    Pan Shen was frightened: "father, don''t tell such jokes. After going to the extremely cold place, Manda can''t come back alive!"


    "It''s really dangerous, but the danger is secondary, and the important thing is his choice." Hermes took out a scepter from behind, and pan widened his eyes.


    "Double snake staff! Father, have you found your artifact?"


    "If I did get it back, I would have taken it out to show off!"


    "This is not true?"


    "Three truths," said Hermes, licking his lips. "Hephaestus tried his best to be three truths. Give this to Manda and tell him that it can only be used once. It will attract my attention and save his life. Let him go to the extremely cold place, see the dog tooth Ripper, and then come back. This is his first contract for promotion to the eighth level."


    Pan Shen was surprised and said, "but..."


    "As long as he comes back, I''m generous enough to complete the contract," Hermes sighed. "I underestimate Athena. Athena underestimates Odysseus. I don''t know if Odysseus underestimates Manda."


    ……


    On the altar, the old goat was chanting and talking endlessly:


    "I can''t help you when I get to the extremely cold place. That''s where I can''t go. My father can''t keep watching the extremely cold place. You must be more careful,


    Bring more helpers, not useless ones. Bring more primitive believers. When they reach the edge of the world, their strength will be stronger,


    Take a high-level wizard around. There is a witch on the tundra who is a friend of Odysseus. The witch has a strange temperament. Try not to offend her,


    After crossing the westile River, go to see the dog tooth Ripper. He was originally a waiter on Mount Olympia and a first-class God. You must be respectful to him,


    Come back as soon as you see him. When you come back, the first contract is completed,


    Don''t use the scepter I gave you. No one knows whether it works or not,


    Don''t worry about Athena. My father will watch, and so will the queen of heaven. When I have to, I will come to the earth to deal with her... "


    Pan Shen was like an old father who couldn''t bear his son''s long journey. He was afraid that he would give him less advice.


    What happened to Athena really surprised Manda, but what surprised Manda even more was that pan was willing to tell himself the truth, let alone the gods. Even the rulers of the world would not tell the truth under such circumstances. First, they were afraid of news leakage, and second, they were afraid that their subordinates could not concentrate on their work.


    He said he didn''t worry that the seven star mountain was fake, but since Hermes chose to let himself go to the southwest, he would naturally get rid of his worries. As Hermes said, Athena really dared to take action, and there was nothing for ordinary people to do with her.


    Manda banned anyone from going to the wasteland in the south of the city with the Styx island. There is only so much that Athena can make a mortal forget her last name with a look in her eyes.


    Packed up her bags, Manda set out with Moira, Medusa, ashuraf, Pluto and zigse.


    Manda is very worried about Ziegler''s physical condition, but Ziegler has to accompany him. Rosen''s choice has touched him a lot, and he has serious doubts about his value.


    "This time I''m going to talk about business. What''s the use of bringing a general?"


    "Being a general is something in recent years, but being a guard is what I''m better at," gigesse said with a smile


    I almost forgot Ziegler''s old business.


    Odysseus and flannes waited outside the city early. Manda prepared ten sledges with carriages. Each sledge was pulled by four mountain pigs. He also selected the best hunter from the paiwu scholars as the coachman.


    Mandat gave Odysseus and flanese a carriage. Odysseus thanked Manda and told him, "don''t bring useless things."


    "These things are useful. We have to bring more food."


    "If I guess correctly, you are a seventh order believer. It doesn''t matter if you don''t eat for a few days. If you''re really hungry, we can hunt on the tundra."


    "I also brought a lot of gifts to the dog tooth Ripper."


    "It''s not necessary. Since it''s business, you''re sincere when you go."


    "And my men."


    "It''s better not to bring useless people. In front of the true God, mortals shouldn''t do anything wrong."


    Manda frowned and said, "you don''t have to carry it on your back. What''s wrong with carrying something?"


    Odysseus smiled, "you have to carry it on your back. Ordinary animals don''t have the courage to enter the tundra."


    "Since the journey is so hard, why don''t you use my skills? I can take you directly to the extremely cold place through the underworld."


    "Your skills will not work, and so will mine. From now on, we must walk on the ground all the way. This is a piety to the Earth Goddess, otherwise we will all be lost in the tundra."


    Manda ignored and got into the carriage, which was far from the tundra. She had to go through the country of paiwu all the way. It was not bad to suffer less.


    The real winter in the country of paiwu has come. At least two-thirds of the day is in a snowstorm. If she chooses to sleep in the open, it is estimated that Medusa will fall into a deep sleep.


    And in the carriage, it can also relieve the boredom of the journey.


    Moira needless to say, she is always ready.


    Medusa is not very clever. She always likes to hold the stove.


    Pluto was very busy. He was checking all kinds of herbs and tools all the way. He was afraid of the mysterious tundra witch.


    "You are in the fourth rank. Is her strength above you?"


    Pluto shook his head and said, "the strength of a wizard depends not only on class, but also on experience. Portia has only three levels, but I may not be her opponent. The reputation of this tundra witch is so great that I dare not take it lightly."


    It took 18 days for all the people to pass through the state of paiwu. It seems that Manda is going to spend the new year on the tundra.


    Odysseus was right. When he reached the boundary of the tundra, the mountain pig did not dare to move forward. Even if Manda used her skills, the controlled mountain pig lost its ability to move on the tundra.


    Manda asked the coachman to take away all the unnecessary items. Finally, only three sledges were left. Manda and Pluto pulled one, ziegse and asuraf pulled one, and the remaining one was given to Odysseus and flanese.


    Odysseus reminded Manda, "the road ahead will be very difficult. Don''t add unnecessary burden to yourself."


    Manda said with a smile, "if you think it''s a burden, leave the sledge here. I didn''t force you to take it."


    That''s what I said, but flannes pulled the sledge up.


    This is his first time to the north of Bayer. The wind and snow in the state of paiwu has almost collapsed him.


    "It''s not that heavy!" flannes carried the car cover on his shoulder. "As long as there is a warm place to sleep at night, it''s worth the pain."


    Manda doesn''t intend to suffer. The wind and snow are so fierce that there must be many beasts. This is the habit of tundra beasts.


    After walking a few miles, Manda captured a giant deer and freed herself.


    Then he walked a few miles. He caught another bison and freed ziegse and asuraf.


    Manda controlled the deer and cattle and followed Odysseus. He cooked mutton in the carriage and helped Medusa warm with Moira.


    All the way to dusk, flannes knocked on Manda''s carriage and reminded him, "we are companions!"


    Manda nodded and said, "I think so, too."


    "Is it appropriate for you to watch me pull the car all the time?"


    "It depends on luck. I haven''t seen any wild animals along the way."


    "How can you see a beast in the carriage? Now there is a bear outside. I''ll catch it!"


    "Do you think it''s appropriate to pull a sled with a bear? We don''t have such a big cover."


    Odysseus nodded, "it''s really inappropriate."


    "If you think it''s inappropriate, help me pull it for a while. I''ve been pulling it all day!"


    The seventh order saint, the eighth order God, came to the edge of the world and had a dispute about pulling a cart. Sometimes human power is so small.


    The next day, Manda caught three wolves and pulled the sledge on the road. The captured beasts could only be used for one day. Manda didn''t prepare feed and had to let the beasts go out to look for food.


    After several days of trekking, there was a smell of herbal medicine in the wind. Pluto quickly reminded Manda to step up her vigilance.


    After another moment, Odysseus exclaimed, "what have you done? The tundra witch is angry!"


    Pluto licked his lips and said, "I just said hello to her."
