He wrapped the silk thread around Manda''s hand. Manda moved her finger and cut the silk thread to pieces.


    He used Liuyan to burn Manda''s body again. Manda called a gust of wind and blew Liuyan back.


    "You can also use the skill of the Lord of divine punishment. With such a body, you really make a lot of money."


    Odysseus was desperate. He knew he couldn''t get the bracelet back, but the bracelet was still in the cloth bag; "It''s a cloth bag woven by the goddess of wisdom. Only I know how to open it."


    "Are you kidding?" Manda cut open the cloth bag with her golden finger, took out the bracelet, and took out several sacred objects and many olive leaves.


    "That''s what the goddess gave me!" Odysseus reddened his eyes.


    Manda gave him back the cloth bag, the sacred object and the olive leaf, leaving only the bracelet.


    Odysseus held the cloth bag and shed tears. It was a real cry, which Manda could see.


    "You still can''t let him go in your heart."


    Odysseus didn''t answer. He put the cloth bag in his arms, looked at Manda and said, "you''ve got what you want. Can you let me live?"


    "I said I would give you a home."


    "You''ve got the bracelet. What''s the use of me?"


    Manda shook her head at Odysseus: "I want your things and your people."


    Odysseus''s cheek twitched: "you are so domineering."


    "That''s how overbearing! If you don''t obey me, I''ll kill you immediately and take away your soul with a double snake stick!" Manda smiled grimly. "Life is my man and death is my ghost. You appoint me."


    ……


    Manda settled Odysseus on the right-wing mountain and assigned him a house.


    It takes a lot of courage to leave Odysseus around, which is no different from letting an ordinary person sleep with a tiger.


    Fortunately, Manda knows where Odysseus'' weakness is. One thing, Odysseus didn''t lie. Without this bracelet, he will lose his position and can''t control Martha''s body.


    Can a divine thing raise a person?


    This is the first time Manda has heard that it should be an artifact that can improve the status.


    Odysseus is an eighth order believer. Under the action of artifact, he can have the status of semi God. Only with the status of semi God can he barely control the body of the true God.


    In this way, this bracelet is an artifact, and it is an eighth order artifact.


    What about the other bracelet?


    Manda took out both bracelets. One can make a moving barrier and the other can make a static barrier. This pair of bracelets should constitute a complete set of artifact, just like aegis and thunder scepter.


    Which God does this pair of artifact belong to? Which God is good at building barriers?


    In Manda''s impression, it seems that there is no power of barrier, which is not a normal thing in the world.


    It is impossible to judge in authority, but the behavior of the gods is obvious.


    Cleus, the God of celestial bodies, has such a strong attachment to the bracelet that it is almost certain that the bracelet is his artifact.


    Hermes, as the God King of the fourth generation, is very strange to the barrier of Odysseus, which proves that this pair of artifact is only a certain distance from the fourth generation God. Cleus, as the first generation Titan, is also right on the timeline.


    The only problem lies in the position of the artifact. The upper limit of the position of Titan should be the sixth order, but one bracelet can maintain the position of Odysseus''s eighth order and half god, which is a little illogical.


    Perhaps cleus is a special existence, and his powerful strength has already exceeded the limit of Titan.


    Two as like as two peas, absolutely ignorant of fixed barriers.


    Odysseus expressed his willingness to teach Manda the method, on the condition that Manda let him wear a bracelet for at least three days a month to maintain his current position.


    Manda refused him for two reasons. First, Manda could not give the bracelet to Odysseus. Second, Odysseus would not teach Manda the correct way to make a barrier.


    Amanda guessed it. Odysseus''s plan was as follows:


    He first taught Manda to make a barrier in exchange for Manda''s trust.


    Then let Manda practice it herself.


    Then Manda will succeed in making a barrier.


    Then Manda will be trapped by her own barrier.


    Then Odysseus took the bracelet and humiliated Manda in vicious language.


    Then Odysseus left triumphantly.


    The whole plan is so perfect that the only drawback is that Manda is not fooled.


    Instead of being fooled, Manda proposed another plan:


    "If you are obedient and don''t do anything, I will comfort your soul with the double snake staff every month. The double snake staff is an eighth order artifact. If you contact with the double snake staff more, you can keep your status,


    If you don''t obey and mess with things, you know the consequences. When I bring the double snake staff, you should be prepared. "


    I''ve got everything. Don''t you worry about the instructions? Don''t worry about such a boring thing.


    In the middle of March, Manda checked the intentions of local lords in sacrifice.


    There are always some lords who think that men should not sacrifice Aphrodite. They even think that decent people should not sacrifice Aphrodite.


    This attitude must be correct. Those who refuse to participate in the sacrifice mainly wear women''s clothes and paint and go to the temple to lead the dance.


    Some lords criticized Manda''s practice and made a bustard woman a general, which was ridiculous in the world.


    This attitude should also be correct. The Lord of each region should canonize at least one female general, who must have more than 10 years of working experience.


    Some lords are practical. They don''t think they should spend a lot of energy on sacrifice. They think they should do something practical.


    The starting point of these Lords is good, but their attitude also needs to be correct. For lords with similar ideas, Manda killed most of them.


    Leaving a small part that can be transformed, Manda patiently persuaded them: "look at your people. Without you, they can still live and live well. As long as you don''t make trouble, they can live better. You can make sacrifices safely. I''m good, Hello, everyone is good."


    In this era, the hard-working Lord can only do two things: one is to squeeze his people, raise taxes and recruit soldiers, and accumulate strength. The second is to threaten his king, support troops and self-respect, and dominate one side.


    The fewer such lords, the better.


    Through this series of measures, Manda''s reputation spread throughout the continent.


    In February, Manda received full praise because he exempted farmers and craftsmen from taxes.


    In March, Manda received a lot of slander. The most common comment was "madman".


    As a king, he took his ministers to sacrifice Aphrodite, went to the place of the wind and moon, and killed many wise Lords. The most incredible thing is that he canonized a group of dust women as generals.


    "Crazy, he''s absolutely crazy!" this is the common evaluation given to Manda by King Bayer, the wolf king and the Pope.


    The reputation of mad king Claude race spread all over the continent.


    Many kingdoms are looking forward to the Romulus state funeral in the hands of crazy King Claudius.


    Manda sat on the roof of the Royal Palace of Deere, listening to the king''s happy and proud laughter.


    He also wanted to laugh, because he thought the king was very cute.


    If he had time, Manda would like to talk to the king in person, but his purpose of coming to Deere this time is not to chat with the king, but to participate in a mysterious gathering.


    In the village outside King dill, a group of poor farmers and craftsmen gathered in a house every ten days to pray to a mysterious God.


    Romulu exempted farmers and craftsmen from taxes for one year, but the poor people in Deere were not so lucky. King Deere increased taxes this year, and their life was almost unbearable.


    Under the guidance of a priest, this group of poor people became believers of a God.


    There is a statue in the main hall of the house. From the appearance of the statue, the God is very young.


    There was a strange smile on his face. Instead of drooping, the corners of his eyebrows rose. The corners of his mouth were asymmetric and obviously biased to the left.


    It''s a little funny and a little gloomy. After watching this smile for a long time, it makes people feel a little crazy.


    The statue of God leaned forward slightly, as if looking down at the people, with his arms slightly open and his fingers extended, clearly presented in front of the people.


    A farmer took a hen to the altar. The priest motioned that he didn''t need to offer any sacrifice, just prayed piously.


    The farmer was uneasy. He always felt that coming empty handed was not pious to the gods. He insisted on putting the hen on the altar and reciting prayers silently in his heart:


    The great king of gold finger madness, please look here, I long for happiness, and I pray for your protection.
