Manda asked all his family to move out of the cottage. The family didn''t understand why they moved back to the wooden house, but no one dared to disobey Manda''s order.


    Soon, the stronghold was empty. Manda called Odysseus: "I have some important things to deal with in the stronghold. I have to make a barrier to isolate the stronghold. I hope you can teach me the method of making a fixed barrier."


    Odysseus said, "I once told you that you can learn at any time if you want to learn. The premise is that you must trust me. You can listen to me orally. Of course, the best way is to let me demonstrate it directly."


    "You can demonstrate." Manda handed the bracelet directly to Odysseus.


    Odysseus was stunned. This was the first time Odysseus touched the bracelet since Manda robbed the barrier bracelet. He didn''t expect Manda to trust him so much.


    Is this really trust?


    No, it''s probably a test.


    Odysseus can now create a barrier to isolate Manda, but he doesn''t intend to do so because it''s risky.


    We have to keep Manda away from ourselves and leave enough living materials and activity space for ourselves. Next, we will be ready to fight a protracted war with Manda.


    "The first step before making the barrier is to be familiar with the surrounding environment. Of course, this is your cottage. You must be most familiar with the environment here. This step should not be omitted. We should try to avoid all accidents."


    Manda nodded and said, "listen to you, don''t omit."


    There were six buildings in the cottage. Odysseus didn''t enter each room. He focused on the area and height of each building and looked at the kitchen and granary.


    The point is, by the way, by the way.


    For Odysseus, the size of the building can be seen at a glance, focusing on whether the food reserve is sufficient.


    After inspection, Odysseus took Manda to the center of the stronghold and drew a ring totem on the land.


    This totem is as like as two peas of Mandala, and the same as the flying logo.


    Odysseus said, "what do you think of taking this as the center?"


    Manda looked around at the distance and thought the position was good.


    Odysseus pointed to the totem and said, "please leave some blood here. This will be the center of the barrier."


    Manda shook her head and said, "since you made a barrier, you''d better leave blood."


    Odysseus wondered, "don''t worry, let me make a barrier?"


    "If you don''t trust me, why should I give you the bracelet?"


    Odysseus tried his best to restrain his doubts and excitement. He dropped a few drops of blood in the center of the totem. Now the bracelet is in his hand, and the center of the circle is also arranged. As long as he wants, he can create a barrier to shield Manda out at any time.


    But he didn''t do that. Don''t fight, don''t rob, and never compare speed with Manda.


    "Let''s go to the edge of the stronghold now. Do you want to cover the whole stronghold?"


    "Yes."


    "Then we have to make a lot of totems."


    Manda was silent. He smiled at Odysseus. He knew it was a lie.


    When he came to the gate of the stronghold, Odysseus first drew a totem and said to Manda, "we should at least determine four totems according to the location. This is the first. If you allow, I''ll drop my blood on the Totem now."


    "I allow it." Manda made an invitation gesture. Odysseus dropped a drop of blood on the totem and said to Manda, "let''s make another mark now."


    Odysseus turned back to the stronghold, and Manda took two steps and hit the barrier.


    The barrier has been completed silently. The barrier is spherical. It doesn''t need so many totems to determine a ball. It''s enough to have a center and radius.


    Taking the previous position as the center of the circle, Odysseus had secretly shed blood before he came to the door, and a barrier basically covering the whole mountain stronghold had been formed.


    The subsequent totems and blood dripping with Manda are just performances to buy time for the stability of the barrier. Odysseus''s performance is always so smooth and natural without any trace of carving.


    Manda smiled and said, "I thought of it."


    Odysseus sighed, "it''s no use just thinking about it. We must do it. We can never trust each other. Unfortunately, we can''t do it."


    "You remember what you paid last time. I can send you near the sun."


    Odysseus took out his bracelet and said, "if you want to do this, I will destroy this artifact. This must not be what you want to see."


    "I''m not the one who lost your life in exchange for an artifact."


    "Really? I think you''re at a loss," Odysseus smiled. "My life is worthless to you, but this artifact is very important to you."


    Manda knocked on the barrier and said with a smile, "I can wait here for a long time."


    "I can also wait. There are a lot of food and wells here. I can wait here for a few years. It will always let me wait for a chance to escape! As long as you leave here, no one on the seven star mountain can stop me!"


    Odysseus went into the granary and should have counted the food.


    In the process of Odysseus creating the barrier, Manda has been observing with insight. He saw the direction of divine power and every action detail of Odysseus. Even his small action of secretly sprinkling blood at the door did not escape Manda''s eyes.


    Manda knew what he wanted to do and what he had done, but Manda didn''t stop him because Manda was satisfied with the results.


    He arranged a circle of witchcraft around the barrier of Odysseus, then found a quiet place, opened the eye of the third line and observed the barrier quietly.


    Not too fast, not too fast, or you will hurt your eyes. Manda should carefully observe the thin line structure of the barrier.


    Starting with the color, Manda always thought that the essence of the barrier was close to the dense fog around the celestial body, which was composed of red lines.


    But Manda found that the barrier, like ordinary things, has three thin lines. The difference is that these three thin lines do not extend outward, but are closely intertwined, like woven into a cloth, covering everything inside.


    Since the barrier is composed of thin lines, can you open a hole in it like opening the exit of a celestial body?


    Manda tried. It''s too difficult. The thick fog is like a fishing net. There are holes everywhere. It''s not difficult to plug the divine power in.


    This cloth is special. Manda tried several times. This dense cloth can''t even plug a hair in, let alone make a ring in it with divine power.


    Try the golden finger again? Manda once poked a crack in the barrier with her golden finger.


    A finger poked down, and Manda found that there were some depressions on the cloth made of three threads, as if a needle had been inserted into the gap between the threads.


    Squeeze the divine power in a little, just a little, and then make the gap bigger, bigger


    A few minutes later, Manda gave up.


    Finger pain, eye pain, great power consumption, and the gap has hardly changed.


    This is not what Manda can do at present, but the gods of Olympia may be able to do it. He remembered the pinholes of the gods in and out of Olympia. The process just now is very similar to making pinholes.


    But not every God has the ability to make pinholes. Except the LORD God and several high-level gods, other gods need the permission and help of the LORD God if they want to leave Olympia.


    It seems that there is still a big gap between himself and the LORD God, but Manda is not in a hurry. He is patient with himself and Odysseus.


    Odysseus appeared near the barrier and waved to Manda to block his sight inside the barrier.


    Manda also waved to Odysseus. He held his insight eyes, opened his third line eyes, saw the direction of Odysseus'' divine power, watched his figure disappear in the barrier, and watched all things in the barrier, including the whole mountain stronghold, become transparent.


    It turns out that you only need to inject divine power into the red line of the barrier to create a perfect invisible barrier.


    Odysseus is out of sight. Manda misses him a little.


    But he is not boring. He has a lot to do tonight.


    He took out the remaining bracelet, summoned the mobile barrier, and then studied the structure of the thin line. There is a little difference between the mobile barrier and the fixed barrier. It has no yellow line.


    The two barriers are actually different. Manda is lost in thought. He is thinking about the essence of the barrier and the essence of the three lines. He needs to do a lot of experiments tonight.


    But just before midnight, the experiment was interrupted, and Odysseus ran out of the barrier with black and blue.


    He tried to escape, but found Manda standing in front of him.


    "Where are you going?" Manda smiled. "You know I''m outside. Dare you run out? Hurry back and listen. I won''t hit you."


    Odysseus flopped down on his knees and cried, "I''m sorry, I''m wrong."


    "Hurry back, you''ll be safe."


    "I can''t go back," Odysseus sobbed. "The crazy woman inside will kill me."
