Chapter 132 The old witch's warning
Flying over a mountain, Manda saw four carriages at the foot of the mountain. The first carriage had branches with leaves. This was the sign of the tavern and the agreement between Manda and Worm.
Manda wanted to run over alone. These people in the carriage were the people Manda cared about the most, and he didn't want to easily reveal their whereabouts.
But Manda was so tired. Fortunately, Yudora was still reliable and her sister had no intentions. After landing, Sangira waited respectfully in the distance, neither leaving Manda's sight nor overhearing Manda's voice.
Manda rushed up and hugged Worm, Toka and Guatel rushed over and hugged Manda, Og rushed up and hugged everyone, Silva also wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Helena:
"Don't you feel disgusted by a group of men holding each other?"
After hugging for a long time, Og smiled bitterly, "We have all died once."
Manda smiled and said, "But we are still alive."
Worm asked in a low voice: "Where is the count?"
Manda replied, "Die."
Hearing Manda's answer, Worm's face had a hint of sadness, but only a hint of it.
"Where is Mirlo?" Manda knew that he would not leave the tavern, but he couldn't help asking. Although Manda had formulated a series of meticulous countermeasures, everyone could survive until today, and finally rely on Mirlo's protection.
Unfortunately, the tavern no longer exists and the contract between the two parties has ended here, but Manda still wants to remind Mirlo not to stay there, as it will become very dangerous.
Surprisingly, Worm lifted the mantle of the last carriage, and Mirlo actually slept among a pile of wine barrels.
"Have he left the tavern?" Manda almost dropped her chin.
"The poet" smiled and said, "He said that the place where there is wine is the home. We moved all the wine out and moved to our new home."
"He was wrong," Worm looked at Manda, "there is only a place where you are."
After defeating the Count, Worm completed the last task assigned by Manda and took everyone to the foot of the mountain to meet Manda.
He brought everything he could bring in the tavern, and everyone believed in one thing that Manda would give them a new home.
"Where is our new home?" Toka pulled Manda's clothes.
Manda was a little ashamed that her new home had not yet been settled.
"There is a cave nearby. You can stay in the cave for two days first. Worm and I have important things to do, and we have to go back to the valley."
Guatel rubbed his nose and said, "Why can't we go to the valley together?"
Manda was still thinking of a tactful explanation, while Worm chose to tell the truth:
"You can't go to the valley. I don't want your bodies to be stained with the breath of Taltaros, which will attract Tifeng's attention."
Manda sent everyone to the cave and wanted to lie on Sanjira's back and go back to the valley. Unexpectedly, Worm wrapped Manda into a silkworm pupa and hung it up directly. He didn't trust Sanjira because Sanjira was once a friend of Old Yaman, and Manda and Worm almost killed Old Yaman.
After more than half a year in this world, after counting it down, Manda has really made a lot of trouble.
Back in the valley, Quinta sent good news. He found a way to remove the breath of Taltaros and also found a way to become a disciple of Tifeng. Both methods require witchcraft.
Manda patted her forehead and suddenly figured out something. The old witch lived in the valley as a partner. She did not obey the count's orders or accepted the count's surveillance. She just shared her interests in dealing with the corpse.
Why did the Earl tolerate her existence? Is there really no other way to deal with the corpse?
Now Manda has understood a truth: dealing with corpses is only one of the duties of the old witch, and her greatest value is to give her the identity of the Earl's servant.
Moreover, this identity is not given at one time. With the earl's temperament, killing donkeys is a routine operation. It can make the old witch live to this day, proving that he needs the old witch to help him maintain his identity as a relative.
Thinking of this, Manda sighed and said, "You go and find the old witch. As long as you agree to her conditions, she will definitely help you."
Quinta raised her head and said, "Don't you go with me?"
"I'm not going anymore. I'm very tired. I have important things to discuss with Yudora tonight."
"I don't need to go today. I haven't deciphered the way to remove the breath of Taltaros."
"No need to decipher," Manda shook her head, "The old witch knows the way."
He didn't want to go to the old witch's cave again. First of all, the witch named Salya was too dangerous. More importantly, he knew that he could not take the old witch away in the short term, and Leond still needed her. Ensuring the stability of the Haze Valley was the basis for the next farming plan.
As Manda expected, the old witch knew the method, and after seeing Leonder, she put forward the same conditions as before, one was to not disturb her life, and the other was to guarantee her interests.
Leonder wanted to be better against the old witch. He wanted to take the old witch to the castle, but was rejected by Portia:
"If it were before, I would accept your kindness. I would also like to stay in the castle for a few days, but now it's different. There is a little witch around me. This girl uses a charming technique casually. None of you men can withstand it, and even women can't."
This is just an excuse. It maintains a cooperative relationship with the owner of the valley, but will not get too close. This is the rule of survival of the old witch.
Two days later, according to the requirements of different people, Portia prepared witchcraft, and Leonde needed to gain Tifeng's recognition. The old witch helped him complete the sacrifice that day. If Tifeng accepted him, he would receive Tifeng's response within three days. Of course, this is not a one-time thing, and he will complete the sacrifice every year in the future.
Manda, Worm, Quinta, and Yudora all wanted to get rid of Taltaros' aura. Bruto also made the same request, but was rejected by the old witch:
"Child, you are not good yet. Losing the breath of Taltaros means losing the power of Tifeng. You will spit out your divine bloodstone and turn from a second-level believer to a white duck."
Bruto smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I've made the decision."
The old witch said: "It's very relevant. The poison on your body has not been cleaned up yet. With the physique of a second-level believer, you have lived to this day. If you immediately become a white duck and spit out the bloodstone, you will die on the spot."
Bruto did not make any sound. After contacting Manda for a long time, everyone will be affected by Manda. The most obvious feature is that they all become afraid of death.
"You are facing the same choice," the old witch looked at everyone and said, "If you lose the breath of Taltarus, you will lose everything that belongs to the believers."
Everyone looked solemn. Except for Quinta, no one else wanted to lose his divine power.
From talking quietly to looking at each other, until the cave was silent, the old witch looked at everyone's embarrassed expressions and smiled and said, "Get out, come to me after you have thought about it."
Manda was the first to stand up and said, "I have already thought about it. I am willing to give up Tifeng's favor and Chimera's divine power."
