Manda placed a hundred silver coins on the altar, knelt piously on the ground and waited for the goat messenger to come.

    In the smoke, the old goat looked down at the pious Manda and asked in a low, round voice, "look up."

    Manda''s forehead pressed against the ground and replied, "I dare not."

    The old goat sighed, "I won''t raise the price."

    Manda immediately looked up and said, "thank you for your kindness."

    500 gold coins. Manda bought the statue of Hermes, which also wrote a completely incomprehensible ciphertext. Manda was thinking about how to understand the source of these words. Suddenly, the old goat handed over a piece of parchment.

    "This is the translation of the common language. You won''t suffer any loss if you buy my things."

    Manda looked at the first line of parchment, which said: my first-class believers, you have the opportunity to upgrade and put an altar under the real statue

    The first sentence baffled Manda. What is a real statue?

    The old goat explained, "the real statue comes from the original appearance of God. There is no fallacy because of the ideas of mortals. Someone once created a painting for our God. On that painting, our God has feathers. This is not only a fallacy from mortals, but also a blasphemy to the spirit of God."

    Manda understood the old man''s meaning and had to find a highly accurate statue of Hermes to complete the sacrifice.

    But where can I find this statue?

    The old man gave the answer: "there was a temple in the lion city of Roma road country, where there was a real statue."

    "It used to mean... That the temple is no longer there?"

    The old goat nodded: "in addition to that one, there is another one in the ancient alandis temple. I''m afraid you can''t find it. In addition, there is also one in the tomb of King Tilly IX. I can help you find that tomb, but with your current strength, drilling into such a tomb is tantamount to death."

    "Can you say something I can find?"

    "You have one in your hand."

    "Don''t play such a joke."

    "It''s not a joke. It''s an absolutely real statue. It''s more accurate than any statue. This is what God looks like. The only problem is that it''s a little smaller, but it doesn''t affect your promotion."

    Manda stared at the stone statue in his hand in amazement. Now he realized that the value of this stone statue was far more than the ciphertext behind it.

    "I sold you two statues of gods. The stone statues of each God are unique. You must cherish them and can''t lose any of them. It''s related to whether you can get the name of God."

    There are more secrets hidden in the stone statues, but the first-order stone statues have been robbed by the count.

    Now is not the time to say this. It''s useless to say it. Manda straightened her chest and said to the old goat, "do you think I can be promoted to the second level now?"

    "It''s still a little close." the old goat shook his head.

    "What if you eat this?" Manda frankly took out longvado''s divine blood stone. The old goat looked at it for a while and nodded: "Ares''s first-order divine blood stone can promote you to the second level smoothly after eating it, but you are only a little short of the first-order perfection. Your hair is so small, and the divine blood stone can help you improve a large piece. This divine blood stone is very precious. It''s too wasteful to eat it now. You can wait until the second level, which will save you the time to promote to the third level."

    Manda looked at the God''s blood stone, on which he could vaguely see the patterns of swords and shields, with gorgeous metallic luster under the candlelight.

    It''s very precious at first sight. As the old goat said, eat it after being promoted to the second level. This is the right choice.

    Manda asked, "if I don''t eat this stone, how long will it take me to qualify for promotion?"

    "Soon, the skills you desperately use every day will be handy and easy to use. You are a very talented person. In less than two years, your first-order strength will be perfect."

    Two years.

    Manda nodded and said, "I''ll eat God''s blood stone. Don''t wait."

    "Then why do you nod... Forget it," the old goat returned the divine blood stone to Manda. "Eat this stone and digest it for three days. In these three days, you will become reckless and irritable, that is, inherit ares''s shortcomings. After three days, these conditions will disappear, and then you can prepare for promotion."

    Manda continued to read the sacrificial process, and the sacrifices required for promotion to the second level were: three tail feathers of the immortal bird, a pair of claws of the double headed Golden Eagle and two pairs of wings of the four winged bat.

    These are things that human beings cannot understand. No wonder believers of the LORD God say that their threshold is too much.

    "Do you have these sacrifices?" Manda asked carefully.

    "Yes," the old goat nodded. "Do you have money?"

    "There''s still some money." counting the reward given by Leo and the money robbed from longwaldo, there were 522 gold coins, 500 gold coins were spent, and 22 gold coins remained. Manda raised her hands over her head and gave them to the old goat.

    "Do you think that''s enough?" the old goat stared at Manda.

    "I think... Almost."

    The old goat took a deep breath and said, "for the sake of our business, I''ll give you a complete sacrifice, as long as 800 gold coins."

    "Very reasonable price!"

    "So what are you doing with these 22 gold coins?"

    "This is a gift for you first. It can also be used as interest on debt. In short, it is..." Manda blushed and said in a slightly inaudible voice, "I want to pay on credit."

    The candle swayed and the fog steamed, and the old goat seemed angry.

    Manda kept kneeling and did not dare to move.

    He had no hope of credit, but he was worried that the old goat would suddenly jump out of the altar and beat him up.

    He silently counted his breath. When he counted twenty times, the old goat opened his mouth.

    "The interest of 22 gold coins, in one year, you have to give me 800 gold coins within one year." the old goat put all the sacrifices into a wooden box and gave them to Manda, and then took away 22 gold coins.

    He promised, he promised!

    Are there any more generous sellers?

    Manda took the box with tears in her eyes. Just as he trembled and didn''t know what to say, she saw that the figure of the old goat gradually faded.

    "It takes at least five days to be promoted to the second level. In these five days, you will be very weak. You can''t let anyone disturb you, fight, quarrel or say more words, otherwise you may get lost at any time.

    "It''s rare among the believers of the LORD God to rise to the second level in three months. I don''t know why you are so urgent. I hope you can embark on the right path in the future and don''t make the wrong choice because you are eager for quick success."

    While the old goat still had some remnants, Manda said with tears in her eyes, "are you leaving me?"

    The old goat said, "maybe I really want to leave for a while."

    "Can''t we meet again?" cried Manda

    The old goat said, "have your dream. You''d better not come to me until you pay off your debt!"

    The old goat disappeared. Manda opened the wooden box and the dazzling light lit up Manda''s cheek.

    The tail feathers of undead birds, the sharp claws of double headed golden eagles and the wings of four winged bats are in front of Manda''s eyes, emitting an indelible smell of divine beasts.
