Give Me the Name of God
Chapter 45
God never drinks.
The divine Punisher has a strict hierarchy. The superior always walks in the strongest side, and the superior has the absolute right to speak and dominate.
It can be inferred from this that the people who lived in the tavern yesterday are likely to be punished by God. Of course, they may also be a group of good refugees. Under the leadership of a respected elder, because they can''t find other accommodation, they can only sleep in the nearest tavern.
Manda is not in the mood to argue with himself. He must hurry back to the pub as soon as possible.
Why did the punisher come to the tavern? This is what they hate most. There is only one possibility. They come to catch people and heretics.
This place was originally a thorn in the eye of God punishers. If someone dares to run this pub, it will naturally attract the attention of God punishers. The key is what they have found.
Those people didn''t dare to catch people directly, which proved that their strength would not be too strong. Manda should not be exposed with a wing covering brooch.
Worm''s probably exposed. I don''t know if he''s still alive.
Manda came to the west of the city in a carriage, far from the ruins of the temple. Manda got out of the car in advance. He was afraid of an ambush.
Walking through the ruins to the tavern, the wind and snow suddenly became more violent. Manda had a bad hunch that the Dangzhao pendant was slowly becoming hot.
According to his survival philosophy, it''s time to run away at once. He doesn''t care about worm''s life or death at all. But with the lesson of yesterday, he is worried that worm has left some other mechanism on him. Once it is far away from worm''s control, it may be cut into meat by his worm silk.
The door of the tavern was still open, and worm was completely unaware of the danger. He was happily scrubbing the counter with a bucket. He felt that someone had touched the insect silk at the door and hurried out with a smile:
"Guests from afar, come and sit inside..."
Seeing that it was Manda, worm''s smile disappeared: "how did you come back?"
Manda quietly closed the door of the tavern and asked in a low voice, "where were the guests last night?"
"Go, they left as soon as you left. They didn''t steal our food and wine, but used a few firewood." worm didn''t understand why Manda was so nervous.
"They are divine punishers and come to us." Manda didn''t give any more explanation. If worm didn''t want to go, any more explanation would be futile.
The bucket in his hand fell to the ground. Worm looked at Manda, the fire, the counter and the barrel.
"We should go." without a word of argument, worm immediately went back to his room, simply packed a package and prepared to take Manda away.
This is the count''s advice. Don''t panic when you meet any enemy, except those who are punished by God. Those who encounter divine punishment should run away quickly without hesitation for a moment.
Manda didn''t have to pack. The wax stained tablecloth was always on her. There was nothing else important except the thousand mile horse.
The horse was already very strong. Manda had plans to run away on it, but worm could fly. It seemed safer to follow him.
Worm spits out insect silk and wraps Manda into a silkworm chrysalis. He is ready to take him away. He can beat his wings desperately, but he can''t fly.
The wind is too strong, and the wind direction is changing all the time. Someone is using magic to manipulate the wind.
Worm was in a rare panic. He climbed up the roof and tried to take off from a high place, but as soon as he opened his wings, he was lifted down by the strong wind.
After falling into the yard, Werm couldn''t stand up for a long time. Manda shouted, "take your wings and let me out!"
Worm took back his wings and cocoons. Manda quickly took the Dangzhao pendant out of his clothes. His chest had been scalded with blisters.
A sign of fatal danger. Any mistake could kill both of them immediately.
"Someone''s coming!" worm felt the shock and someone touched the worm silk around the tavern.
Manda, who had lived for two generations, was calm at the moment, and her mind immediately opened a fixed strategy to deal with danger.
First of all, we must find out the source of the danger.
Manda ran up the third floor and could see a little fire in the wind and snow.
It''s the torches of God punishers. They come from the front door. The number is not too large to form a siege. They can escape through the back door.
He went to the back door and stood at the door for a while. Manda stepped back again.
The punishers have been lying in ambush nearby for a long time. Why didn''t they do it to worm?
They didn''t want to scare the snake. They wanted to wait until Manda came back and catch it all.
Since we have made such full preparations, it is impossible to leave a chance to escape. There is likely to be an ambush at the back door.
Manda climbed up the back building and observed in the wind and snow for a while. Behind the tavern was a piece of large and small broken stones covered with snow. She could not see anything unusual.
Everything has value. These stones come from the ruins of the temple. Regardless of feelings, they are basically worthless.
What if there are people hidden in these stones?
Manda opened the cockfighting eye, exhausted the limit of vision and scanned every gap in the rubble.
There is the shadow of gold coins, almost twenty.
Life is very humble most of the time. People who work for themselves like bounty hunters can be more valuable, but God punishers never hire bounty hunters. They only use believers who are loyal to themselves, and such fools who are willing to work for others are often not worth a gold coin.
This man can be worth twenty gold coins, which shows that he is not an ordinary role. A long lost voice sounded in Manda''s ear:
"The second-order believer of boreal God borias and a second-order pseudo God warrior, don''t go out, you will die without a whole body."
It was the voice of Hermes. Manda thought she had been forgotten by him.
All the fear and tension disappeared in an instant, and the gods shot. What else to be afraid of? Just showing the name of Hermes is enough to scare them to death. As long as the great God moves his finger, he can make these divine punishers disappear.
"I can''t help you directly. I can''t use power directly in the world. That''s the rule."
The confidence that had just burst out was quenched by Hermes''s word. Manda also lost his previous calm. A series of problems came to his mind.
You can''t use power directly. You can give it to me!
"You can''t bear it."
Then think of a way to make me bear it.
"No way."
Give me two gods or something!
"Do you have money to buy it?"
It hurts to talk about money at this time! Manda begged for nothing, so she had to make one last request: at least give me a hint!
During the dialogue with the gods, there was a knock on the door in the tavern.
"Good shopkeeper, I''m staying again. Please open your door!" was the voice of the brown haired man last night.
They have arrived at the door, but they are not in a hurry to break in. They seem to want to solve the problem through negotiation.
In the tavern, worm responded, "we''re full. You can sleep elsewhere!"
When are you still in the mood to boast? This tavern has never had ten guests at the same time. How can it be full?
"Open the door, my friend," said the brown haired man patiently. "I know what kind of person you are and what kind of blood you shed. That''s the sin of your destiny and the chance to be redeemed. Open this door and the merciful Lord will give you a new way!"
Worm opened the stable and tried to escape through the back door on his horse. Manda came up and stopped him.
"There is an ambush at the back door. There are two second-order enemies."
"Second order? Why don''t they come in! Why don''t they just kill us?" worm showed his teeth. Now he only had the idea of fighting his life.
Yeah, why don''t they come in? Two second orders can easily kill them.
"Think carefully, why don''t they come in?" Hermes gave a hint. "Hold on to half a candle and you''ll be saved."
