Manda asked Sangira to send a letter to the valley, suggesting that Leonde resume contact with Gesak. Leonde took Manda's suggestion as an order and asked Sangira to reply that day, expressing his willingness to send an envoy to Niujiao Town and to help Earl Gasak continue to cultivate believers.

In this slow-paced era, Stanley was deeply shocked by Manda's efficiency. After living in the manor for a few days, he found that Manda's efficiency was more than that, and his team was growing at an astonishing speed.

Although Manda intentionally hid his teenager, Stanley still noticed the existence of Zieges and the Leo woman: "Two third-level and one second-level demigod, your subordinates are really enviable."

Manda smiled and said, "It's a pity that both third-levels are disabled."

"Don't overestimate the loyalty of the divine hunter, nor underestimate the poet's strength, and of course, don't underestimate the determination of the Count. He wants to see you, but I can't let him see you, you have to think about how to deal with him."

Manda pondered for a long time and said, "It is my luck to be favored by the Count, but I really don't want to participate in the war. To express my apology, I want to offer a gift to the Count."

Manda took out a pair of chain mail and touched the locks one by one. Stanley sighed: "Good materials, good craftsmanship, good..."

Stanley's expression solidified. He sniffed the smell of the mail carefully and said in surprise: "This is a blood blade."

Manda nodded and said, "This mail is mixed with the bloodstone of the god of fear Demos. Putting it on will cause the enemy to fall into fear on the battlefield."

Stanley licked his lips and said, "Is this really enviable. Did the poet do it for you? Just like what I said, never underestimate his strength. In fact, I need this mail more. I am the one who really fights hard on the battlefield..."

Manda smiled and said, "You can also stay by yourself. In short, don't forget. I don't want to see the Count, and you don't want me to see the Count. This is our common will."

After accepting Manda's gift, Stanley should say goodbye. He also rushed back to Niujiao Town to arrange for the Count and Leonder to meet.

Before leaving, Lord Pedros rushed over and presented Stanley with a big gift. Four pure black pearls the size of eyeballs, each of which was worth more than fifty gold coins.

"This is the intention that Baron Claudesse and I have dedicated to the Count. Baron Claudesse wanted to visit you in person, but you have also heard of his legs..."

Stanley smiled and said, "I heard that his legs were interrupted by a group of despicable, greedy, cruel, and shameless robbers."

While speaking, Stanley looked at Manda, and Manda laughed dryly and said, "Yes, how cruel..."

The old Lord took out another pair of exquisite armor and asked the servant to bring a strong horse.

"This is a gift for you, Lord Viscount, we are friends of the Knight Monchik, and hope to be your friends too."

"Of course, of course." Stanley said casually, knowing that the Lord gave this gift not only to please him, but more importantly, he wanted to please Manda.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that a Lord would please a Knight. Seeing Pedros' respectful attitude, Stanley had a new understanding of Manda.

"I hope we will never be enemies." Hugging Manda for a moment, Stanley stepped onto the war horse and led his entourage away from Tieshan Town.

Stanley left, but the old Lord did not leave. He finally recognized Sorens' attitude towards him and his situation. He regarded the Monchik Knight as the only backer of the two major families, so some things must be said.

"Knight Monchik, I have another manor in the north of the town, which is a little smaller than this manor, but there are also three manors and a forest, where the land is more fertile and closer to the mine, I want to give this manor to you."

Manda was stunned: "Such an expensive gift? I'm afraid I can't afford it."

"This is my intention. You saved our family and I deserve to give it back. The manor has a lot of food, and I will give it to you. I suggest you move there to spend the winter, as well as the good wine I have collected, and many cute girls."

Manda stared at the old Lord for a long time, then smiled: "Lord, please tell me if you have something to do. Is there anything I need my help?"

Manda hated greed, but not yet at the point of losing his mind. He didn't mind the gifts from his old Lord, but it depends on how much it would cost.

Unexpectedly, this time, Manda mistakenly met the old Lord's intention.

The old Lord got: "Don't worry, I'm not asking you for something. I always want to tell you. I think you have questions about it, why did I sell such a large manor to Viscount, and only sold one hundred and fifty gold coins."

"One hundred and five..." Manda choked. He always thought that Viscount had added money to him, but he didn't expect that he had earned his fifty gold coins.

The old Lord sighed and said, "Actually, this manor is worth more than a thousand gold coins. The reason I sold it at a low price is because there are terrible monsters here."

"Monster? What kind of monster?" Manda frowned. He had seen similar words in some ancient books, but only a few words, without too many descriptions.

"I can't describe the monster. I have lived for more than seventy years and have never seen such a terrible thing. It appeared on the first snowy night of winter, rushed into the manor from the hillside, tearing people into pieces of meat, and then swallowing them into their stomachs. That night he ate more than a dozen people and did not disappear until dawn.

From then on, it would appear every snowy night. On that winter, he ate more than eighty people in my manor. In desperation, I could only ask Viscount Sorens for help, but Viscount said that I raised heretics and he wanted to inform the church of this matter.

Fortunately, after winter, this monster never appeared again. I spent 200 gold coins to appease the family of the deceased, lied that they had an epidemic and spent another 500 gold coins to bribe Sorens. It happened that the God-Punisher lost power and did not dare to pursue it, so I hid the matter. Autumn is here, and I am worried that the monster will appear again, but I have no choice but to sell it to you through Sorens."

No wonder Og said that there was danger in that forest. It turned out that danger was the monster on the mountain. Manda had the idea of ​​moving, but after looking at the new manor, the idea was dispelled again.

The old Lord said that the manor was a little smaller, but according to Manda's estimate, its area was less than one-quarter of the manor. For Manda's "army", there was no room for training here.

What's worse is that it is very close to Sorens' castle, where sacrifices and prayers, creation of divine objects, eating, drinking, defecation and urination... I'm afraid that even big and small things can't be hidden from his eyes. What's more, in Manda's opinion, Sorens is much more terrifying than monsters.

It’s better to guard the old manor. As for the monster, it may be so powerful that it cannot be defeated for the old Lord. It may be a mutated beast to Manda, or a divine beast or something. Maybe you can find something good in it.
