On the third day of June, Stanley, who had disappeared for nearly a month, drove the carriage to the tavern, and he brought a surprise to Manda.

"Actually, I should have sent the gold coins long ago, but there was a little trouble in the town of Saglan. The Divine Punishers there were very tough. They killed the lords, occupied the town, gathered the broken Divine Punishers together, and won several battles. The Viscount didn't trust others and asked me to lead the troops to deal with them in person."

The town of Saglan and Niujiao were separated by three towns. The Viscount of Gaisak sent troops there to prove that his sphere of influence had covered all the towns along the way. As far as Manda knew, there were more than ten lords following Gaisak. As the primary figure in the fight against the Divine Punisher, the forces he controlled could even be comparable to the Marquis.

"So that's the case," Manda nodded, "so how many gold coins did you bring?"

Stanley was a little embarrassed: "Do you have nothing to do with the outcome of the battle?"

Manda smiled and said, "If you lose, can you come back alive?"

"What makes sense," Stanley said with a drink, "The Divine Punishers are indeed very powerful, but they have too little experience. It's not their fault. The Divine Punishers have not fought in recent years, and we have to play one or two games with the lords around us every year."

Manda nodded and said, "So you must have brought a lot of gold."

"Don't be so eager for quick success and instant benefits. It's no harm to you when you learn more about the battlefield." Stanley took out a few chicken bones from the plate, representing both the enemy and us, and explained seriously:

"The enemy thought I would fight them hard. The ancient god believers were fighting against the god-punished warriors, first-level to first-level, second-level to second-level, ordinary soldiers were fighting against ordinary god-punished people, but things on the battlefield were not that simple. There are many variables in the weather, terrain, and troops. I can defeat fifty god-punished warriors and two hundred ordinary god-punished people with twenty ancient god-punished people with sixty ordinary soldiers. Do you know the reason for this?"

"I don't know," Manda shook her head, "how many gold coins did you bring?"

Stanley curled his lips, threw the chicken bone aside, and sighed, "You are so disappointed. I originally thought that those gold tableware could sell at least 5,000 gold coins, but guess how many I sold?"

Manda thought for a moment and said, "It can sell at least three thousand."

"You are wrong!" Stanley laughed, "Those tableware were bought by a wealthy businessman in the royal capital, and he earned a total of 11,000 gold coins!"

These words almost made Manda jump onto the table: "So, can I get 3,300 gold coins?"

Stanley nodded, hooked his fingers and lifted the zombie into three boxes.

"Count three thousand three hundred gold coins."

"No need to count, can I believe you?" Manda opened the box and looked at it for a while, "Uh... it's three thousand two hundred and ninety-six."

Stanley said in surprise: "You really counted it? Don't joke with my credibility."

Manda took a sip of wine: "This is Chimera's talent."

Stanley looked back at several zombies, one of which took out four gold coins from his pocket.

"I'm really dead!" Stanley said angrily, "If you weren't so greedy, you wouldn't die at my hands!"

The zombie lowered her head in shame, and Manda smiled and said, "I'm not a petty person, let alone I owe you two hundred gold coins."

Stanley waved his hand and said, "We promised that you can help me take care of Lulian, and those two hundred gold coins will be written off in one go."

Manda shook her head and said, "It's not a question of taking care of it. Lulian also helped Worm treat his injuries."

"You keep it, the age of the gods is coming back. This is a good opportunity to achieve great things. Do you want to go to the battlefield with me to build something?"

Manda smiled and said, "You know, I can't help myself."

"I almost forgot that you are the Earl's man," Stanley sighed, "I'm going to go to war again tomorrow. This time I'm going to Lanpu Town, where Rahn Pigu gathered an army. He is a war-capable war and fought the God-Punishment War in Dil and Genting. This is the real difficult opponent."

Manda grabbed a few handfuls of gold coins from the box and placed them in front of Stanley: "Two hundred, count them."

Stanley frowned and said, "I said, this is an agreement between us."

"This is not a debt repayment, it is a gift for you. I am waiting for the news of your triumphant success."

Stanley smiled, hugged Manda's shoulder, touched his forehead, drank all the wine in the jar, and left the tavern with the zombies.

Manda asked Og and Silva to carry the box back to the room. When he locked the door, Manda covered his mouth hard and shed two lines of tears.

Three thousand gold coins! This is a wealth that can never be spent in life. The dazzling golden light sublimates Manda's soul.

He took out fifty silver coins to set up the altar and summoned the old goat with a confident smile.

The old goat man looked down at Manda from above the altar with a heavy shadow on his face.

"I said, don't come to me before paying off the debt."

Manda calmly counted eight hundred gold coins and placed them on the altar: "I am a person who believes in words."

The shadow on his face instantly dissipated, and the old goat smiled and said, "Dear friend, tell me what you need?"

"First of all, I need to expand my island." Manda took out three hundred gold coins directly.

The old goat smiled and said, "It's so generous. I have to calculate how big your island can become."

Manda had already done so. The original volume of the island was sixty-four bricks. At that time, fifty gold coins were spent. Each time it expanded, ten more gold coins were given. Sixty gold coins turned into one hundred and twenty-eight bricks, seventy gold coins turned into two hundred and fifty-six bricks, eighty gold coins turned into five hundred and twenty-four bricks, almost two cubic meters, which totaled exactly three hundred gold coins.

After completing the island expansion, Manda is about to prepare for the third level. He first took out a piece of silver-scale python scales and asked the old man to verify it.

The old man on the goat glanced at him and said, "Give me twenty gold coins and I will tell you the answer."

Twenty gold coins? This old guy is so greedy.

Fortunately, Manda was rich and generous, and gave twenty gold coins, only one word was exchanged for: "Yes."

A word of money is too easy to make.

"I want two copper shell snails."

The old goat shook his head and said, "No."

Manda was stunned: "You are the messenger of Hermes, and I can buy everything from you."

"If you can buy it, it doesn't mean you can buy it. I know where there are copper-shelled snails. If you really want it, you can go hunting."

“Where is it?”

The old goat reached out and said, "Twenty gold coins."

Manda was stunned. Why did this old guy become so greedy?

After collecting twenty gold coins, the old goat said: "In the East China Sea, there is an unknown island, which hires two hundred sailors to set off from Lan Bo City and take a three-layer oar warship. You can reach there in about half a year. There are many copper-shelled snails on the island."

Manda was stunned and frowned: "Old friend, let's not make such jokes."

"It's too far, right?" the old goat smiled, "Give me fifty gold coins, I can send you there, and it will be here in a blink of an eye."

"Did you say it earlier? You are really..." Manda was counting gold coins and heard the old goat say: "There are some divine beasts guarding the islands, and their strength is equivalent to that of the fifth-level believers. Are you sure to defeat them?"

The gold coins slid from his hand, and Manda lowered her face and said, "Old guy, are you playing with me?"

"If there is no other need, I will say goodbye."

After saying that, the old goat disappeared into the smoke.
Chapter completed!
