Hermes is the God of Manda. He can block Manda''s promotion at any time. With this alone, he can let Manda do anything for him unconditionally.


    This is the consistent way that Gods control believers. Athena has controlled Odysseus for more than 2000 years.


    But Hermes doesn''t like this. He doesn''t think coercion and coercion are the best means to solve problems. He is better at finding a mutually beneficial and win-win way out on the basis of fair trade.


    Manda most appreciates Hermes'' temperament, which is also an important reason why he abides by the creed of fair trade. His price is to skip the contract and be promoted to level 8 immediately after it is done.


    Hermes agreed immediately.


    Before taking action, Manda needs to identify a problem.


    "Do you really confirm that the impersonator on earth is your believer?"


    "It''s good to be able to confirm!" Hermes said with his chin clenched. "It''s impossible for me to leave no memory in such a long process of cultivating a believer from the first level to the eighth level, but I really can''t find a reasonable explanation."


    Manda as like as two peas, but there was no explanation, but Gaia''s hint: "I once saw a goddess of earth lost control. The division was as long as the goddess of God, and the goddess of the goddess was afraid of it."


    "Do you suspect that my separation is out of control? I also have this suspicion. I had it a long time ago. I have more than 10000 separation, and each separation has a different temperament. You should also have some feelings about this. You now have four separation, and there are always one or two. Your temperament is strange."


    Manda''s chaotic separation is a painful existence. I didn''t expect Hermes to have a similar problem.


    Thinking for a moment, Hermes shook his body, and more than 100 separate bodies appeared in the desert. He was ready to make another test.


    "These are all weird separations. If one of them gets out of control, it must be one of them."


    Hermes came to a body and asked directly, "look into my eyes and tell me if you did it?"


    He spread out his hands, shrugged and said, "if one day I can get rid of your control, I will drill into Aphrodite''s palace and snuggle up in her arms forever."


    "And Athena?" asked Manda


    The separated body replied: "I can snuggle up to two arms at the same time. I am very loyal to each arms. I have had the same dream for countless nights..."


    Before he finished his dream, Hermes took the part back. This is lecherous Hermes, who has a different temperament from the impostor.


    He went to the second part, looked at him and said nothing.


    The second one looked calm: "if I can get rid of your control, I will live a simple and pure life in seclusion in the mountains and forests."


    This is negative Hermes.


    The third part looked indignant: "I only lost control once, you remember. I wanted to tear Apollo to pieces, and you stopped me."


    This is angry Hermes.


    The fourth one looked disdainful: "I always felt that I should become the Buddha. I would complete three major events in three months. In the first month, I would eradicate the Lord of divine punishment, in the second month, I would defeat the Earth Mother Gaia, and in the third month, I would subdue Cronus, instead of doing some boring twists and turns all day like you."


    This is the arrogant Hermes.


    The fifth part said, "if I could control my life, I would ride a goat and sing day and night on Mount Olympia."


    This is Hermes who loves art


    More than a hundred people were interrogated separately, and Hermes found no abnormality.


    "I''ve interrogated every part, interrogated countless times," Hermes thought carefully about the details of the interrogation. "I know very well about the temperament of all parts. The temperament of parts is innate. These parts are indeed strange, but their performance is not abnormal."


    "What about the other parts?"


    "Other separations are too mediocre. They don''t have the ability to impersonate me. What''s more, my separations can''t leave my body for a long time. Even if I leave for only one day, I will be aware of it. This pretender has lived in the world for many years and established a little-known organization. Based on this judgment, the suspicion of separations can be basically eliminated."


    "Not necessarily," Manda said another inference, "if someone can fake your avatar, put the fake avatar into your body and replace the real avatar, the real avatar pretends to be you in the world, and the fake avatar constantly destroys your mind and makes you make crazy behavior, do you think it''s possible?"


    "It''s a strange idea," Hermes frowned. "Did you think of it?"


    Manda answered truthfully: "This is the hint of the Earth Goddess. I believe his judgment. As long as we find the pretender, we will find the real separation. The separation temperament is born. No matter how we hide it, there will always be flaws. If we determine the identity of the real separation, the false separation will be locked. With the false separation removed, you will no longer hurt Olympia and you can return to your throne 。”


    Hermes nodded: "I had the same idea before, but it''s not so easy to catch the impostor. My ability in the world is limited and Gaia hates me. I must be more restrained in the future,


    The impostor can have no scruples, but he can escape Gaia''s gaze. When it comes to the fight, I may not take advantage of it. Moreover, I missed the last opportunity, and he will not appear easily in the future. "


    "So you must have a careful plan to ensure that you can have enough power in the world, and at the same time, you should attract the impostor."


    Hermes thought, "if you want to use power on earth, you must get Gaia''s permission. There is no other way."


    Manda looked at the furnishings in the cave. The bottles and cans were still there, but the granary was empty again, leaving only a bowl of wheat he collected last night.


    "To show respect and piety to the goddess of the earth," said Manda, holding the bowl of wheat, "we must at least fill his granary."


    ……


    Ten days later, Manda returned to the capital of the king. The qingus businessman kejero was still in the residence. It is said that these days, he has been searching for the whereabouts of Manda''s cousin and repeatedly promised Manda''s aunt that he would never leave the capital of the king if he could not find his cousin.


    "My Lord, please forgive me for my incompetence. I used all the people near Wangdu and couldn''t find any useful clues. Please give me some more time. I swear I can..."


    "No," Manda bit her nails. "I''m moved by your sincerity, but it''s not something ordinary people can solve."


    Kejero was surprised: "does this matter involve gods?"


    Manda nodded and said, "I think you can see that my cousin is not an ordinary person. My friend, I need your help."


    "I''m willing to provide any help I can. If it''s money, just say the number."


    "Do you think money can solve the big things related to gods?"


    Kejero looked embarrassed and said, "please forgive my ignorance. I really can''t think of anything else to help you."


    Manda said word by word, "I want the whereabouts of the double snake staff."


    Kejero was in trouble: "all I know is some rumors. I don''t even know whether the rumored Island really exists. Even if it does exist, the island is too far away from origino. Even with the fastest sailboat and the best sailors, it will take at least four or five years to reach the island."


    "You don''t have to worry about things along the way. I have my way. There is an old saying in the Qin Gus people that a dead horse can only be cured by all means when it is still alive. Maybe there is hope of resurrection. You should understand what I mean."


    "A dead horse should be a living horse doctor. I''ve heard my father say the same thing. I know what you mean."


    "I want the detailed location of the island. The more detailed, the better."


    ……


    In the manor outside the city, the son of heaven prayed silently: "emperor, Manda Claude wants a double snake stick. He said he wants to save Hermes with a double snake stick."


    An echo came from his mind: "don''t pay attention to his intentions. His intentions are false. Gaia won''t let Hermes go, and Manda won''t save Hermes. He doesn''t know what loyalty is. He just wants to lure you to make mistakes,


    You have to make a plan and take him to the land of the chingus people, but remember that he will bring powerful helpers. You must get rid of those helpers and never allow them to pollute our sacred land. "


    ……


    Three days later, kejero gave Manda a map: "I bought it with a lot of money, sir. I remind you again that it''s just a rumor."


    Manda took the map, looked carefully, bit her nails and said, "it''s too far... I hope the map is accurate."
