Chapter 14 First-Order Power

While she was still negotiating outside, Quinta stuffed a piece of parchment into Sphinx's hand and pointed it into her eyes, reminding the Leo woman to cry.

There is a passage written on the parchment, which is a line designed by Quinta just now. He wants the Leo woman to make a pity with the tears of a woman. This is the wisest choice now.

Sphinx didn't intend to sell him poorly. She had long hair on her body and wings bulged behind her, which meant she wanted to kill herself.

Quinta pointed outside the carriage and shook his head constantly. It would be fine to deal with the God-Punisher. He would act wildly in front of the lords in the ground. They could be surrounded by an army at any time.

Sphinx sighed and accepted Quinta's suggestion. She looked at the parchment, recited it silently, adjusted her tone, and finally spoke.

"Sir Earl, can I let my brother return to the carriage first? He was frightened."

Hearing this stiff tone, Quinta was sweating. Fortunately, Earl Carrean was quite tolerant. He asked the guards to help Manda up and smiled gently, "Go back, kid."

In the blink of an eye, Manda got into the carriage, and Sphinx continued, "Sir, please let me say a few more words. I am the daughter of Viscount Sorens, Tieshan Town. Last month, my uncle received a gift from Marquis Narls and specially asked me and two younger brothers to go to the sage city to offer gifts. We were careful along the way for fear of encountering robbers, but when we encountered the troubled God Punisher, we stopped the carriage because we were all loyal believers of the Lord of God Punisher..."

Speaking of this, Sphinx choked up because Manda bit her thigh in one bite, biting it very hard.

Sphinx kicked Caymanda and continued, "I believe that we are the Lord's servants, I believe that they are all good people, not evil people who frame us out of thin air..."

Speaking of this, the Leo woman cried in silence because Manda bit her other thigh and bit her blood.

"Bikeen Bucken, is she true?" Earl Carrean looked shocked.

The bishop sighed: "I never denied that they helped me, and that's why I want to save them."

"How do you plan to save them? Kill them, or make them your servant?"

"I don't need any servants, we are all servants of the gods!" The bishop changed his face, "Earl Carrean, there may be some misunderstandings between us."

"You have already brought me a misunderstanding. Marquis Drawing Sha and Viscount Tieshan are both my friends!"

Manda recalled the conversation between them in the carriage. He was very curious about why the Leo woman pretended to be the niece of Viscount Sorens? Sorens was indeed the lord of Tieshan Town, but they were all made up randomly anyway, so why not make up a farther place? If the God-Punisher went down to Tieshan Town, it would be easy to find the Canyon of Resentment.

What made him even more curious was why Earl Carrean offended the bishop for a few strangers? Even if he really saw the face of Marquis Narls and Viscount Sorens, he could persuade the bishop in a more tactful way, rather than using this kind of politician method of labeling, beating sticks, and attacking character. Manda had seen too many of these methods in his previous life.

First of all, it is certain that Count Karean intends to protect the believers of the ancient gods, and he himself may even be a believer of the ancient gods.

In addition, there was a bit of gunpowder between him and the bishop, which might be related to this temple of the Sun, or it might involve a higher level of competition.

The bishop pointed to the carriageway: "There is no badge or mark on their carriage. What do they use to prove their identity? At least let them get out of the car and let everyone see what they look like, one of them has a devilish face."

Quintha was so scared that he knew who the bishop was talking about.

But Sphinx was still calm. She responded while kicking Manda in the face:

"That's my brother. He has a serious cold. Is this the reason why you framed him?"

After saying that, Sphinx walked out of the carriage with the badge of the Sorens family, and she couldn't stand Manda's biting.

When I heard the word cold, many onlookers dispersed. In this era, colds were a serious disease with extremely high mortality.

Karean rubbed his eyebrows and whispered to the bishop: "You not only brought me misunderstandings, but also brought me plague."

Sphinx raised the badge and said, "Sir, you see, this is the badge of my family. The reason why there is no mark on the carriage is because we are afraid of robbers."

"Put it away, girl, I believe you," Karean took two steps back and avoided Sphinx with disgust. "Good girl, go back to the carriage quickly. This is not in line with your identity and etiquette."

"I can't go back!" Sphinx glared at the bishop with tears in his eyes, "I can't accept unreasonable accusation!"

Karean looked at Barkhon: "Sir, what else do you have to say?"

Barkern smiled coldly and didn't speak anymore.

He doesn't care about moral condemnation, nor is he afraid of the plague, nor is he afraid of the other party's identity.

But he saw the Count's attitude. Karean obviously wanted to protect these heretics. As a bishop, his status was slightly higher than that of the Count, but this was Karean's territory. A strong dragon did not suppress the local snake, and it was the truth in any era.

Moreover, the God-Punisher demolished the Sun Temple in Yanshi Town without Karean's permission. Although Karean dared not complain about this, the bishop could feel some subtle changes, such as the number of people in the Earl Guard was much higher.

It is best not to bother with this matter anymore. Taking advantage of Karean's attitude, it is the best choice to stop at the right time.

Seeing that the bishop stopped talking, Karean began to smooth things over.

"Miss, bring some good smoke and stones to Marquis Narls, and Viscount Sorens, which is my little compensation."

Under Carrean's comfort, Sphinx returned to the carriage. The Count's servant brought two boxes of cigarette stones. The number was not large, but the quality was good. When encountering people who knew the market, they should be able to sell them at a good price.

The Leo looked at Manda first, then at Quinta, looking at their smug and cunning smiles, there was always the urge to kick them a few times.

But when he lifted his feet, he didn't kick it down, he just hooked Gou Quinta's chin and pinched Manda's nose.

Quinta blushed, Manda cried, and now he was pinching too hard.

Bruto and Leonde drove the carriage back on the road, and the villagers continued to demolish the statue of Apollo.

"Do you hurt?" The hammer's pounding sound was mixed with the voice of the natal god.

Manda shrugged and said to herself: It's just a stone statue, why do I feel pain?

Apollo's bow fell to the ground and fell into gravel. A piece of gravel hit the collapsed pillar and turned into a stone. The stone hit another stone, changed its flight trajectory, flew into the carriage, and hit Manda in the head without any hesitation.

Manda felt his skull be smashed, and he fell to the ground, rolling back and forth with his head in his arms, bleeding all over his face.

Quinta hurriedly hugged him, but Manda seemed to have lost consciousness.

"You should feel it hurt. Even if it doesn't really hurt, at least you have to pretend it hurts," said the natal god in his ear, "This is a sacrifice to me with your blood. You are my believer, I give you strength. The stone statue belongs to my relatives, you must show minimum respect!"

For the next seven days, Manda endured a severe headache and did not improve until she was approaching the sage city.

This made Manda understand a truth that the gods were not as tolerant as he imagined.

The towering city wall appeared in front of him, and Quinta shouted excitedly: "Did you see it? This is the city of Drasai, one of the most prosperous cities in the central part of the mainland."

Manda poked her head out of the window. The dirt road under the wheels had turned into a gravel road. The carriage was no longer lonely. As the peers around her gradually merged into the traffic.

On the left is a ox cart with wheat and green beans on it, and on the right is a mule cart with clay pots of different sizes.

The speed of the carriage is much faster than that of the ox carriage, but now it can only walk side by side with the ox carriage. A shepherd drove a flock of sheep in front. The huge flock occupied the entire road and forced the speed of everyone.

After paying the cap tax and entering the city gate, everyone found a tavern and stayed in. The medieval tavern also took into account the functions of inns. Although the living environment was a little worse, it could avoid the divine punishment.

The tavern is the mortal enemy of the Lord of God’s Punishment. The doctrine of God’s Punishment prohibits drinking, violence, and gambling. These are the main projects of the tavern.

The God Punisher made a lot of efforts to kill the tavern, but was blocked by the common people and the nobles, which eventually made the tavern a forbidden place that the God Punisher could not reach.

After passing the dim and noisy first-floor lobby, everyone chose two rooms on the second floor to live. Bruto and Leond walked the stairs with smoke and stones, and Manda kept following behind and groping the ground.

Sphinx, who was walking behind, kicked Manda: "Silly boy, what are you doing?"

"There are gold coins falling out!" Manda pointed at the box seriously, "I saw several, but I couldn't pick them up!"

"You're crazy about gold coins. Don't embarrass you here. Come back to your room with me."

Unlike when riding a bus, Sphinx took the initiative to live with Manda. After all, judging from age, Manda poses the least threat among this group of men.

During lunch, Manda found that a few gold coins fell out of Sphinx's skirt, so she got into the Leo woman's skirt.

He did not find the gold coins, but was beaten. Sphinx reminded Manda: "From now on, call me the original name Holna, and you will not mention the name of God again."

Manda smiled and said, "I have always called you Leo."

Manda was beaten again, and Sphinx and Bruto went to visit the Count, leaving three others guarding gold coins and smoke stones in the inn.

It is obvious that the five-man group has been divided into two factions, the Leo and Bruto are about to receive the name of God, and they belong to people of the same level.

Three-headed Dog and Quinta, Manda fell to the same level, and he had already felt Bruto's alienation from him.

Sleeping is the best way to get rid of your worries. Leonder slept heavily, while Manda and Quinta played dice in another room.

The dice in this world is similar to the dice that Manda is familiar with, and there are six sides, but the one written on it is not a number, but a portrait is engraved.

The highest-level figures are kings, followed by dukes, marquis, counts, viscounts and barons. The rules of the game are still relatively large, but there are also some unique considerations.

Manda shook out two kings and a marquis, and Quinta shook out one king and two dukes.

If the king is counted as six points, the duke is counted as five points, and the marquis is counted as four points, both sides are counted as sixteen points, which should be considered a draw.

But Manda wanted to make a fool: "My two kings eat your two dukes, your king eats my marquis, I won two games, you won one game, and in the end I won!"

Quinta widened his eyes and said, "What are you talking about? Two kings meant rebellion. You obviously lost! And you have to lose twice the bet!"

"Is this really the case?" Manda said with a lip, "I haven't played dice before, don't lie to me."

"What are the benefits of lying to you? You don't have the money to give it."

Quinta took the dice back and the dice cup. Manda suddenly noticed that there was a dark red pendant hanging around his neck, the size of a walnut, almost pure round, and it was not obvious what material it was, nor any special patterns.

Watching Manda keep staring at the small pendant made Quinta nervous.

"Just just a gadget." Quinta hid the pendant in her clothes. Unexpectedly, Manda suddenly reached out and groped up and down in Quinta's clothes.

"What are you doing, don't, don't touch me!" Quinta pushed Manda away. This rough behavior was unbearable.

"Let me touch it again." Manda rubbed her eyes hard and looked at Quintas with a greedy face.

"What the hell is wrong? You've been very strange recently!" Quinta said angrily.

"It's a little weird..." Manda saw gold coins falling out of Quinta's clothes, seen in the box containing smoke stones, and also in the Leo's skirt.

He knew this was an illusion, but why did it come so clearly?

Seventeen gold coins fell out of Quinta's clothes.

One gold coin means 20,000 yuan, and seventeen gold coins means more than 300,000 yuan.

What exactly do these hallucinations mean?
