Give Me the Name of God

Arriving in the secret room, Medusa said to Manda: "Hermes believers can see the value of things. You must know that this pearl is valuable, but don't be impulsive and don't eat it. Yes, if a mortal eats the Pearl of Faith, it will bring dire consequences."

How can I say this?

As for eating pearls directly, Manda has never eaten them.

But Manda ate a lot of pearls transformed by the scale.

"What are the consequences?"

"You know, among the three sisters, I am the only one who is not a god. It's because I ate the Pearl of Faith at the wrong time."

What is inappropriate timing?

"After my two sisters became gods, I was a little anxious. Just like an ordinary child, I would get angry, lose my temper, say annoying words, and do annoying things until my two sisters were killed. Until it drives you crazy,

They had just become gods at that time, and there were many things they didn't understand yet. In order to help me, they secretly brought the treasures from the gods to the mortal world and gave them to me. They said it would make me a god.

This most precious treasure in the divine world is the Pearl of Faith. I ate it, thirty of them in total. At that time, I really thought I had become a god. Remember Skira, that ugly woman with six heads, I have always hated her. , but because the strength is equal, I can do nothing to her. Since eating the pearl, things have become easier. I can make her life worse than death in ten breaths. If she hadn't begged, I could use it ten more times. In the time it took her to breathe, all six of her heads were torn off,

I really thought I became a god. I defeated all the sea monsters, including Charybdis, the whirlpool monster, the original sirens, and the group of sea monsters born by the angry god of the sea. Some even became gods. Even the sea nymphs are no match for me. I imagine that I can live in Poseidon’s palace and have my own authority under his edict. I even imagine that I can have a place on Mount Olympia.

But later I discovered that the power brought by the Pearl of Faith is not eternal. That power is expendable, but after it is exhausted, I am in an embarrassing situation. First of all, I am seeking revenge. All kinds of sea monsters are looking for me to seek revenge. I was beaten to death by all of them, and I was almost beaten to death a few times. This is not the point.

The point is that my divinity has been weakened, which makes my chances of becoming a god even slimmer.

The most unbearable thing for me is that I became the laughingstock of the sea, and the sea gods called me a stupid delusional person. Can you understand my plight at that time? "

Manda nodded and said, "I understand. I was young, I was out and about, and I paid the price for pretending."

Medusa looked confused and said, "I don't understand you."

"My words are not important. What is important is what happened next?"

"As you can probably guess, I started to become annoying again, even more annoying than before. I forced my two sisters to find pearls of faith for me, and they agreed out of desperation.

Then I became stronger and taught those who had hurt me a lesson. When the power of faith was exhausted, I continued to persecute my sister. Until one day I suddenly realized that I had taken the wrong path, but it was too late. My divinity has been exhausted. I can never become a god.

Now you should know how terrible the pearl of faith is. I am the daughter of God, and I can’t withstand its consumption. You are just a believer of God. The divinity in you is so little compared to mine that it is worth mentioning, even if you only eat it. The next one may cause a drop in status, and you may be lowered in class, or even lose the chance to become a demigod forever. "

It was rare for Medusa to talk to Manda so seriously. Manda was dripping with cold sweat. Although she had been transformed by the golden skeleton scale, Manda had eaten a total of nine pearls. These nine pearls would bring What will be the consequences? Will he become a fifth-level believer directly?

Seeing Manda's dull expression, Medusa said affectionately: "Manda Claudesay, a ruthless man, a greedy man, a heroic man, but you are my man, and only I can do it at this time. Help you, that pearl is too tempting, you will definitely not be able to control it, give it to me, I will keep it for you, I promise not to eat it."

This sentence made Manda wake up. Dogs can't change what they eat, and it seems that the same goes for snakes.

He looked at Medusa, smiled and asked: "The Pearl of Faith is so terrifying, why is it said to be the most precious treasure in the divine world?"

"Pearls of faith are the incarnation of the power of faith. They come from mortals' prayers and sacrifices to the gods. The gods can eat the pearls and gain strength from them."

"Why can gods eat it? Will their divinity be damaged?"

Medusa looked at Manda in surprise: "Of course there will be no damage. They have the power to maintain divinity, which is called the original power."

"The original power is the power that maintains divinity?"

"Yes," Medusa nodded, "This is the most fundamental difference between gods and humans."

"How do gods obtain the original power?"

"This is a question for me. Once every god is born, his original power is fixed and cannot be improved no matter what method is used. It should be related to the bloodline of the god.

The more primitive power the gods have, the higher the power of faith they can control, which is probably several times the original power. The primitive power cannot be sensed, and even the gods do not know how much each other's primitive power is. , but it can be estimated based on the bloodline of the gods,

Just like your natal god Hermes, his original power is not too high, and his bloodline is far inferior to Ares and Hephaestus, or even to Apollo and Artemis. His fathers are even more incomparable. I have always felt that he has no possibility of becoming the Lord of the Gods. "

"Stop saying blasphemous words." Manda touched Medusa's lips, and Medusa kissed Manda's fingers deeply.

"My man, my good man, give me that pearl, I promise not to harm you..."

For some unknown reason, Medusa started to feel sleepy again. Maybe it was because the weather was too cold.

After a while, she fell asleep and Manda took her inside her.

Medusa was sleepy, not because of the cold, but because Manda applied some medicinal powder on her fingers.

Her words echoed repeatedly in Manda's mind:

"This is the most fundamental difference between gods and humans."

He knew what he should do now. He returned to Qixing Mountain through the underworld, took out the gold skeleton scale, and put all the pearls into the tray.

Cyan liquid appeared in front of his eyes, and Manda drank it without hesitation. This time, he didn't even feel pain.

The original power is so precious. These few pearls alone cannot be exchanged for much. Maybe the scale itself will have to get some kickbacks.

But that doesn't matter. What matters is that Manda knows what to do.

According to what Medusa said, pearls of faith come from mortals' prayers and sacrifices to gods. The two tribes that she conquered shouted the name of Mengda Baikega every day. This was obviously a kind of prayer, hoping to gain more. If there are too many pearls, they must learn to sacrifice.

Manda took Kunta back to the tribe and discussed the sacrifice with Chief Boyuin.

This matter is not that easy. The Paiwushi people were deprived of their faith by the Bayers, so that they did not understand the concept of sacrifice at all.

Kunta didn't know what procedures and sacrifices should be used for sacrifices. He had never heard of Mengda Baikuga's honorable name.

Manda was also at a loss, which was a bit funny. He was offering sacrifices to himself, but he didn't know how to please himself.

Since he is a believer of Hermes, his taste must be similar to Hermes. Hermes is not picky about sacrifices, as long as they have cooked food. That night, Manda asked the chief to cook six Only prey, let Quinta sacrifice to Mengda according to Hermes' sacrificial process.

Kunta hesitated: "I don't know what your purpose is for doing this? Aren't you Mengda?"

Manda said with a serious face: "Actually, Mengda is not me. He is an ancient god. I use his name to save these poor dispatchers."

Kunta blinked his big eyes and said: "This kind of thing is not a joke. Sacrifice directed at unknown people will attract the attention of unknown people. If it is a powerful unknown person, we may have to face an unbearable disaster."

This sentence reminded Manda that Baikuga was an ancient hero who sent warriors. If he did not really die, if he became some unknown existence, once he was recruited, the problem would be serious.

Even if he is completely dead, it will be difficult to deal with if other gods are watching here. Even if Hermes takes a look, Manda will not be able to give a reasonable explanation.

Hermes... Harumas, the old goat said, this time the contract has been fulfilled, and the name of Harumas is true.

It is a safe choice to dedicate this sacrifice to Harumas, let Hermes eat the meat, and follow the soup.

Manda modified the sacrificial process, changed the object of sacrifice to Harumas, and rewrote the prayer to make Harumas the object of prayer, but Mengda Baikuga's name was mentioned repeatedly in the prayer.

To be honest, this made Manda feel a little distressed, but when it comes to matters involving gods, no matter how much stability is required, it is never too much.

The next day, under the auspices of Kunta, the tribe successfully completed the sacrifice, but the result made Manda very disappointed.

He only received three pearls, not much more than the usual chorus of shouts.

What's the problem? All the meat was eaten by Hermes? Leaving too little soup?

This is possible, but it may not be the main reason. Manda really felt the surge of power, which was very strong, but she couldn't cough up the pearls.

Where did that first astonishing output come from? Manda recalled the process carefully.

He helped Chai Gesang's tribe defeat the Bayers. Chai Gesang led all the members in the center of the tribe to shout Mengda Baikega's name. At that time, the center of the tribe was still filled with the heads of the Bayers.

Heads, heads, sacrifices...

Could it be that...that was a sacrifice? An unintentional sacrifice?

Manda slapped his forehead. It seemed that the wrong sacrifice was used this time.

What Mengda Baikuga likes is not cooked food, but people.

Why do you have such a preference? Manda feels that she is not a particularly cruel person.

Where can I find someone to offer as a sacrifice? The damn Bayers won’t be coming during this time either!

While thinking about it, Manda suddenly felt her heart throbbing. She subconsciously took out a charm and held it tightly in her hand.

This was the spell made with Odysseus' blood. Manda concentrated her mind and heard Odysseus' voice:

"Why are you so stupid?"

"What qualifications do you have to stay here and be the king?"

"I have extended your life for hundreds of years, why did you..."

Twenty seconds was short, and the sound was intermittent, so Manda could only hear these few words clearly.

Who is Odysseus talking to? This answer is very interesting.

He turned to Boyuin and said, "How long has Lares Rolla been king?"

Boyuin thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "I don't remember. I have to ask my grandmother. My grandmother said that when she was very young, Ramsay was the king."

Manda looked carefully at Boyuin's face. He should be around fifty years old.

"How old is your grandmother?"

"I should be one hundred and sixty-three years old this year!"

"How old are you?"

"I will be one hundred and twenty next year!"

"Did those girls you sent before live longer?"

"They can all have children, and they're all under eighty."
