Give Me the Name of God

Manda made a bet with Hermes, increasing the bargaining chip from the previous transaction.

The two each developed a set of tactics.

Hermes' tactic is to hide in Manda's clone and go to the island at the end with Manda.

Manda's tactic is for Hermes to use prank techniques to pretend to be Manda and go to the island of the end by himself.

Hermes first used his own tactics and hid in Manda's body, but failed to deceive Athena. Athena discovered that Manda's breath was abnormal and used mortal breath to cover up the god's breath. The difficulty was It's just too big.

Since he couldn't fool Athena, he probably couldn't fool Cajero either. According to Manda's speculation, Cajero had noticed something was wrong with Manda's clone.

In desperation, Hermes adopted Manda's tactics, imitating Manda with his tricks, and imitating mortals with the power of gods. He could do it without any flaws, but there were two problems with this tactic.

The first problem was that the divine power was consumed too much. Hermes had to continue to replenish pearls, but considering that his power was limited in the human world, Hermes did not bring too many pearls before he came.

This problem is easy to solve. Manda still has a lot of inventory on hand. In order not to attract attention, Hermes specially designed a little fingernail chewing action for himself.

But the other issue is a bit more complicated.

"I'm going to the Island at the End, where are you going?" Hermes asked a very profound question.

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

"The backside you are talking about doesn't mean the royal capital, right?"

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

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

"Yes! But this is only for one reason!" Manda said solemnly, "As long as I am not discovered, you will not be exposed. The enemy's attention is on you. The further away I am from you, the harder it will be for you." The safer it is!”

What Manda said was very reasonable, and Hermes could not refute it, so Hermes took Cajero to the Island of the End alone, while Manda hid in the manor outside the city, silently serving Hermes. pray.

Of course, sometimes it is not silent, and occasionally it makes a little sound.

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

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

Moira calmed her breathing: "I want to express my piety."

"The great Lord of the Gods has felt your sincerity, don't be so loud next time."

"I listen to you." Moira prayed to Hermes again. This time she felt that she had great hope of getting pregnant.

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

This is the underground temple that Manda built specifically for Hermes in the manor.

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

"Because this way I can pray to you secretly without being discovered by anyone."

"Why do you pray to me secretly? Isn't it embarrassing?"

Manda raised her head and saw the unkempt Hermes.

He had many scars on his body, his clothes were in tatters, and his jaw seemed to have been severely injured, making his cheeks a little asymmetrical.

But it doesn't matter, the spirit's recovery speed is very fast, and he should be fine in a few days.

At least Manda thought He would be fine.

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

Hermes pushed the wine glass aside and asked sharply: "What is your relationship with the Chinges?"

Why ask this question? Manda's heart trembled.

He always felt that he had some relationship with the Qinges people. Even if it didn't matter in this life, there was still a deep relationship in the previous life.

Could it be that Hermes knew that he was reincarnated from another world?

Don't think wildly, and don't say things that have no basis. Things that have no basis simply don't exist.

Manda calmly replied: "It doesn't have anything to do with it."

"Why have you been inquiring about the Qinges Continent?"

"I need food. Qinges merchant Kejiro provided me with a batch of food of unknown origin. I suspected that his food came from Qinges continent, so I asked God Pan for news about Qinges continent."

Hermes asked again: "Qionggu, Qionggu, what does it mean?"

"What drum?" Hermes' weird pronunciation made Manda even more surprised.

"What's so sweet about it?"

Manda didn't know how to answer: "Have you learned some new language? My child is stupid and I really can't understand it."

"Is it because my pronunciation is not correct?" Hermes scratched his head, "I knew I would have stolen Athena's skills. Forget it, put this aside in advance. Go get me something related to Qingas Continent. The older and more valuable the books, the better.”

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

"Pan doesn't believe in the existence of Qinges Continent. He thinks the relevant books are of no value. He has never collected them before. Now he can't get out of them. He can only leave this matter to you."

Manda shrugged her eyebrows: "Maybe I can ask Cajero."

"No need to ask him, he didn't come back!"

Manda's ears trembled and she asked in a low voice: "His identity has been exposed? Is your matter done?"

Hermes waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about this later. Don't always do that kind of thing in my temple in the future!"

"I am here to express my piety to you at all times!"

"You are seeking my protection at all times!" Hermes looked angry, stood up and left. Manda quickly hugged Hermes' thigh and said: "Father, please wait a moment!"

"Can't wait any longer, I'm so disappointed in you!"

"Listen to what I have to say."

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

"In fair transactions, we have to follow our conscience! We can't default on our debts, father!"

Hermes sat back down next to Manda, remained silent for a while, and then released a clone from his body.

"Do you recognize who this is?"

Manda looked at it. The appearance and figure were the same as Hermes, and there seemed to be nothing special about him.

Hermes put an iron mask on the clone's face again: "Do you recognize it this time?"

Julian!

Listening to Hermes telling what happened, Manda could not imagine that Julian, the black market businessman who was all-powerful in the mortal world, was actually Hermes' clone.

"Although there are still many things that have not been found out, I have to say that with your help, I got through this difficult time. This is the reward you deserve." Hermes cut his finger and drew a drop of blood directly. It dripped on the top of Manda's head.

The divine blood seeped into his scalp instantly, and Manda couldn't help but shudder.

"That's it, that's it! It's so careless, 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 limply to the ground.

This was the second time Hermes gave Manda two drops of blood. If Manda's body wasn't stronger than before, she might have fallen into a coma again.

"You should only have 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 gods and humans, I have fulfilled all my obligations.

But I gave you ten drops of blood, which will give you more divinity and more power. Manda Crowder, this is my gift to you, and it is also a tribute to you. recognition. "

Manda got up from the ground and saluted Hermes to thank her.

Hermes helped Manda up and said with an earnest smile: "I'm so good to you, let's forget about the bet."

According to the provisions of the bet, if Manda's tactics don't work, Hermes can withdraw his previous promise, not allowing Manda to be promoted until the contract is completed, and extending the contract to two years.

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

Hermes took out the double snake staff, stroked it for a long time, and said in a trembling voice: "I just got it back. It has been separated from me for too long..."

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

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

"What about a year from now?"

"After one year, I must take back the double snake staff. You must become a true god. During this year, you must try your best to create deeds. How high you can get on Mount Olympia depends on your destiny.

Don't forget my instructions. Although the contract has been terminated, try not to provoke a war, let alone be obsessed with killing. Especially before you get the soil of the First Sequence, don't anger Gaia. "

Hermes handed the scepter to Manda's hand and said in a solemn tone: "Manda Claudesay, in the name of the Lord of the Gods, I declare that you will be my only representative in the world from today on. , you are the Hermes in the world."
