Manda flew over Deere for a long time. It was very dangerous to carry a thunder scepter. He should complete the sacrifice as soon as possible, but he must also find a safe place to sacrifice to Hermes.


    Funny to say, at the beginning, flannes forcibly stuffed the artifact of Zeus to Manda. Manda didn''t want it and had to. He could only stuff the artifact into the Styx island. At that time, the artifact of Zeus seemed like a hot potato, and no one robbed it for so long.


    But now why did Zeus''s artifact become so popular? Besides being powerful weapons, are these two artifacts used for other purposes?


    Can the scepter, like a jade seal, be used as a symbol of power and let the holder sit on the throne of the Lord of the gods?


    It''s useless to have a jade seal without strength. I still have a double snake staff. Can I sit on Hermes''s throne while he is sleeping?


    But no matter what Manda thinks, he will never forget Hermes''s instructions. He can''t go to the underworld and must find a safe place to sacrifice.


    He flew from midnight to noon and found a village in the mountains.


    This village is not small. There are almost a hundred families. Places with a large number of people are safer. This is Manda''s experience, because places with a large number of people are more likely to attract Gaia''s attention. Gods will converge in places with a large number of people. As a demigod, Manda''s main defense objects are gods.


    What is more rare is that there is a temple in this village. The whole country of Dier country believes in the Lord of divine punishment. Their punishment for heretics is more severe than that of romlu in the past.


    But the temple has been preserved to this day. It seems that the village still retains the belief of ancient gods.


    This is definitely the safest place Manda met all the way. He entered the temple and couldn''t help laughing when he saw the statue.


    This is an indescribable statue of God. The statue is wearing a blue robe, which should be the dress of the Lord of punishment, but the blue robe is not engraved or painted, but a real robe sewn with blue cloth and worn on the statue.


    The scepter in the statue''s hand was painted into the sword of divine punishment. However, due to the different shapes, the "sword of divine punishment" can only be poked upside down on the ground, and the statue''s hand was embarrassed to hold on the blade.


    The money bag around the statue''s waist was also covered by a wide belt, which was not commensurate with the blue robe, making the statue look like a belly.


    This is not the statue of the Lord of punishment, this is the statue of Hermes. Although it has been seriously transformed, Manda is too familiar with the statue of Hermes.


    What the hell is this? Manda was staring at the statue and laughing when she heard footsteps in the temple.


    "Who?" the man shouted.


    Manda took her time and turned herself into the image of Amado with eight steps. She wore the robe of a high deacon and had a Mediterranean hairstyle.


    A monk came out of the temple. Seeing Manda''s dress, he quickly bent over and saluted: "big, sir, you are, are..."


    A high deacon like Amado has the same identity as a bishop. Although the friar can recognize the clothes of the high deacon, he has never seen a person of this level in his life.


    He did not know why the high deacon appeared in the small village and came to the church quietly.


    "You said it was a church?" Manda looked around and at the statue.


    The friar quickly explained, "this is a poor and remote mountain village. There is no money to build a new church in the village, so we can only change the temple of the false god Hermes into a church, which is allowed by the deacon of the town."


    Manda nodded and said, "you did a good job. The bishop saw your suffering and hardships, and the Archbishop also remembered them. The Archbishop''s glorious moment shines on us, guides us and warms us!"


    The friar didn''t know what to say. As soon as Manda mentioned the archbishop, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted desperately.


    Manda picked up the friar. "How many people are there?"


    "With me, there are three."


    Three people, sixty gold coins, almost.


    Manda took out her purse and stuffed it into the Friar''s hand: "this is the care and blessing given to you by the archbishop."


    The friar was stunned. He could not get so much money if he was a friar here all his life.


    Even a church can''t cost so much money.


    The friar was tearful and at a loss.


    Mandala took the monk''s hand and said affectionately, "this is not only a reward for you, but also an incentive for you. You should distribute it reasonably and use it frugally, but don''t tell anyone the news of my arrival, which will lead to unnecessary disputes and jealousy,


    I want to pray to the Lord that no one can disturb me. You take other monks and leave immediately. Lock the door of the church and guard at the door. No one can enter before dusk. "


    I want to stay here alone. This is your sealing fee. Share the stolen goods quickly.


    The friar thanked him a lot, took the other two friars, locked the gate of the temple and guarded it carefully.


    Manda hid behind the statue, set up the altar and began to pray to Hermes.


    After praying for a long time, Manda suddenly heard a strange laugh.


    "Hey, hey, Manda Claude, believer of Hermes, how dare you call Hermes in my church! How dare you!"


    Manda looked up and found the statue looking back at him.


    The statue looked at Manda for a long time. Manda never responded. The statue turned its head back and sighed, "you''re still so boring."


    Hermes floated out of the statue and sat in front of Manda.


    It seems that he often pretended to be the Lord of God''s punishment and probably earned a lot of faith pearls.


    Hermes didn''t think so: "this was originally my temple. The punisher changed it into a church and made my statue look like that. Shouldn''t I charge them some rent?"


    "It''s time to accept, fair trade, absolutely!" Manda took out the thunder scepter and gave it to Hermes.


    "Only one Scepter? Where''s the shield of aegis?"


    "I didn''t get it."


    "Where''s Odysseus?"


    "Didn''t catch..."


    Manda described the whole process, of course, limited to some facts.


    "Odysseus and I had a fierce battle. He was still so difficult to deal with. After becoming a living dead man, it was even more difficult to deal with. We fought for nearly a night. He hid in the barrier and refused to come out. I stood in a stalemate with him outside the barrier and threatened him to invite Athena. Finally, he compromised and told me the location of the artifact."


    "His barrier!" Hermes sniffed. "I almost forgot about it. Have you found out the source of the barrier?"


    Manda pretended to be surprised: "didn''t the goddess of wisdom give him skills?"


    "If only Athena had this ability!"


    Manda thought for a moment and said, "did you learn the skill of shield from the Lord of divine punishment?"


    "It''s different from a shield!" Hermes shook his head. "His barrier is much stronger than a shield, almost the same as..."


    Hermes stopped talking and then asked, "did you find an artifact and didn''t encounter an ambush?"


    Manda nodded and said, "there''s an ambush! It''s an old man."


    "What kind of old man?"


    "It''s a strange old man. He knows a special skill. He can pull people across the air. It''s not silk thread, but a kind of lightning..."


    "Surrender! My father''s eighth order skill!" Hermes squeezed his chin. "But I remember my father had no eighth order believers."


    "He will also lead the way with the fifth level skill of the Pluto - funeral, and the fourth level skill of the Pluto."


    Hermes opened his mouth and looked at Manda: "are you right?"


    Manda shook her head and said, "I''m right."


    Hermes sat on the altar, raised his left foot and tickled his temples with his toes.


    "It doesn''t make sense, it doesn''t make sense..." Hermes was used to joking. Seeing him so shocked made Manda very nervous.


    "What else can he do?"


    Manda said, "you can also use the skills of Poseidon."


    "Poseidon?" Hermes scratched the sideburns with his right foot again.


    "What monster is this?" Hermes''s reaction was exactly the same as that of Manda.


    He grabbed the thunder scepter and took a breath: "just get it. Don''t worry if you have this."


    Don''t worry if you get a thunder scepter. What''s the reason?


    Hermes put away the thunder scepter and sighed: "I''m afraid it''s a little troublesome not to get Odysseus''s soul. You must successfully complete the mission of a soul guide, otherwise you can''t enter the Styx river."


    Manda was stunned: "what am I going to do in that river?"


    Hermes smiled and said, "you are a demigod. A demigod must have a good body, but if you don''t complete the task of Pluto, Pluto won''t give you a chance."


    "The task is to take a dead soul to the underworld?"


    "It''s not an ordinary ghost. I told you."


    Manda raised her double snake staff and said, "there are many dead souls here. Maybe one or two of them are special."


    Hermes shrugged his eyebrows. "Take a chance. By the way, tell Hades I''ve got the thunder scepter."


    "Tell him about it?" Manda didn''t understand Hermes''s idea.


    "You must tell him!" Hermes said with a proud smile. "Tell him with high toes!"


    With that, Hermes gave Manda a big pot of original power.
