Manda and Hermes made a bet to increase their previous trading chips.


    They each developed a set of tactics.


    Hermes''s tactic is that he hides in Manda''s part and goes to the island of the end with Manda.


    Manda''s tactic is that Hermes pretends to be Manda and goes to the island of the end by himself.


    Hermes first used his tactics and hid it in Manda''s body, but she couldn''t deceive Athena. Athena found that Manda''s breath was abnormal. It was too difficult to cover up God''s breath with mortal breath.


    Since she can''t cheat Athena, she probably can''t cheat kejero. According to Manda''s speculation, kejero has noticed that Manda''s separation is abnormal.


    In desperation, Hermes adopted the tactics of Manda, imitating Manda with the skills of evil play and imitating mortals with the power of God, which can be flawless, but this tactic has two problems.


    The first problem is that the divine power consumption is too large. Hermes needs to continue to replenish pearls, but considering the limited power in the world, Hermes did not carry too many pearls before he came.


    This problem is easy to solve. Manda still has a lot of inventory. In order not to attract attention, Hermes specially designed a little action to gnaw his nails.


    But another problem is a little complicated.


    "I''m going to the end of the island, where are you going?" Hermes asked a very profound question.


    "I''ll hold your back!" Manda gave a firm answer.


    "Behind what you said, don''t you mean Wang Du?"


    "If you don''t feel safe, I can run farther!"


    "You are obviously greedy for life and afraid of death!"


    "Yes! But this is only one reason!" Manda said solemnly. "As long as I am not found, you will not be exposed. The enemy''s attention is on you. The farther I am from you, the safer you will be!"


    What Manda said was very reasonable, and Hermes could not refute it, so Hermes took kejero to the island of the end alone, while Manda hid in the manor outside the city and prayed silently for Hermes.


    Of course, sometimes it''s not silent. Sometimes it makes a sound.


    After tonight''s prayer, Moira wiped Manda''s sweat.


    Manda stroked Moira''s hair and said, "the voice of prayer was too loud."


    Muailapine recovered his respiratory tract: "I want to express my piety."


    "The great lord of the gods has felt your sincerity. Don''t be so loud next time."


    "I''ll listen to you." Moira prayed to Hermes again. This time she felt great hope of pregnancy.


    After the prayer, Moira left, and Manda continued to guard beside the statue of Hermes.


    This is Manda''s underground temple specially built for Hermes in the manor.


    "Why should it be built underground?" Hermes appeared next to the statue.


    "Because it can secretly pray to you without being found by anyone."


    "Is it humiliating to pray to me why you should sneak?"


    Manda looked up and saw the unkempt Hermes.


    He had many scars on his body, his clothes were broken, and his chin seemed to have been badly hurt, making his cheeks a little asymmetric.


    But it doesn''t matter. The gods recover quickly. They should be all right in a few days.


    At least Manda thinks he''ll be fine.


    "Father, is everything going well?" Manda quickly poured Hermes a glass of wine.


    Hermes pushed the glass aside and asked fiercely, "what do you have to do with the chingus?"


    Why ask this question? Manda''s heart was cold.


    He always felt that he had something to do with Qin Gus people. Even if it didn''t matter in this life, he also had a deep relationship in his previous life.


    Did Hermes know he was born from another world.


    Don''t think nonsense, and don''t talk nonsense about unfounded things. Unfounded things don''t exist.


    Manda calmly replied, "it doesn''t matter."


    "Why do you keep asking for information about the Qin Gus mainland?"


    "I need food. Kaijero, a businessman from qingus, provided me with a batch of food of unknown origin. I suspected that his food came from qingus, so I asked pan Shen about qingus."


    Hermes asked again, "Joan drum, Joan drum, what does that mean?"


    "Joan what drum?" Hermes''s strange pronunciation surprised Manda.


    "It''s so sweet. What''s the bottom?"


    Manda didn''t know how to answer, "have you learned a new language? The child is too dull to understand."


    "Is my pronunciation inaccurate?" Hermes scratched his head. "I knew I had stolen Athena''s skills. Forget it. Put it aside first. Go and get me some books related to chingus. The older, the more valuable, the better."


    Manda was stunned: "God pan should be better at collecting goods than me."


    "Pan doesn''t believe in the existence of Qin Gus mainland. He thinks the relevant books are worthless. He hasn''t collected them before. Now he can''t come. This can only be left to you."


    Manda shrugged her eyebrows. "Maybe I can ask kejero."


    "Don''t ask him, he didn''t come back!"


    Manda''s ears trembled and asked in a low voice, "has his identity been revealed? Has your business been done?"


    Hermes waved his hand and said, "let''s talk about it later. Don''t always do that in my temple!"


    "I want to express my piety to you all the time!"


    "You are always seeking my shelter!" Hermes got up and left with an angry face. Manda quickly hugged Hermes''s thigh and said, "father, wait a minute!"


    "I can''t wait. I''m disappointed in you!"


    "Listen to me."


    "I don''t want to hear. I want to see your actions. Don''t forget the task I gave you."


    "Fair trade, we have to be conscientious! We can''t break the bill, father!"


    Hermes sat back next to Manda, remained silent for a long time, and released a part from his body.


    "Do you recognize who this is?"


    Manda looked. She looked like Hermes in appearance and figure. There seemed to be nothing special.


    Hermes put another iron face on his split face: "do you recognize it this time?"


    Julian!


    Listening to Hermes telling the story, Manda could not imagine that Julian, a black market businessman who was powerful in the world, was a part of Hermes.


    "Although there are still many things to be found out, I have to say that with your help, I got through this difficulty. This is your reward." Hermes cut his finger and directly dropped a drop of blood on Manda''s head.


    God''s blood seeped into her scalp instantly, and Manda could not help shivering.


    "That''s it, that''s it! Is it so hasty that you don''t even need a sacrifice..."


    Manda was still complaining, but Hermes held her down.


    "Don''t move!" Hermes dropped another drop of blood into Manda''s forehead, and Manda fell to the ground.


    This is the second time Hermes gave Manda two drops of blood. If Manda''s body was not stronger than before, I''m afraid she would fall into a coma again.


    "There should be only eight drops of my blood in your body. If I give you eight drops of blood, I will give you everything. As a contract between God and man, I have fulfilled all my obligations,


    But I gave you ten drops of blood, which will give you more divinity and more strength. Manda Claude Sai, this is my gift to you and recognition of your achievements. "


    Manda got up from the ground and saluted Hermes.


    Hermes helped Manda up and said with an eager smile, "I''m so kind to you. Forget about the bet."


    According to the provisions of the gambling contract, if Manda''s tactics do not work, Hermes can take back his previous commitment, not allow Manda to be promoted before completing the contract, and extend the contract to two years.


    If Manda''s tactics work and help Hermes get the double snake staff back, Hermes will make Manda a demigod immediately.


    Hermes took out his double snake stick, stroked it for a while, and said in a trembling voice, "I just took it back, it has been separated from me for too long..."


    "I don''t want to embarrass you, but do you have any other way to make me a demigod?"


    Hermes gritted his teeth and handed the double snake staff to Manda: "I''ll lend it to you for a year."


    "What about a year later?"


    "One year later, I must take back the double snake staff. You must become a true God. In this year, you should try your best to create deeds. How high you can get on Olympia depends on your nature.


    Don''t forget my advice. Although the contract has been terminated, try not to provoke war and don''t be obsessed with killing. Especially before you get the land of primary order, don''t provoke Gaia. "


    Hermes handed the scepter to Manda and said solemnly, "Manda Claude, in the name of the Lord of the gods, I declare you to be my only substitute in the world. From today on, you are Hermes in the world."
