Worm arranged the altar of Hephaestus, and Manda took out the statue of Hephaestus.

This is a statue bought from the poet. Manda has not translated the ciphertext on it, and she doesn\'t know which stage of the promotion ceremony is recorded in this statue.

But it is an absolutely real statue. Here, it only needs to play the function of the most primitive statue.

Manda repeated the oath of blood oath more than ten times, and guatel followed it word by word, but she made a mistake every time.

"How many times have I said that my flesh and blood are offered to the God of fire, not to the fire of God. Do you want to be burned?"

Worm sighed, "think about Pluto\'s experience. If he offends the gods, he will at least burn a pair of eyes, and you will be affected."

"At the moment of survival, I\'m doing such meaningless things. How can the gods open the door for you fool, worm, let him remember his oath!"

Worm knocked on his teeth, first tied guatel with insect silk, and then stuffed the insect silk into guatel\'s nostrils. After a sad scream, guatel curled up on the ground and cried with snot on his face:

"You bully me..."

After washing guatel\'s face with a basin of water, Manda took a deep breath and was ready to sacrifice.

"Is it worth it?"

"He\'s a member of the tavern and our family. It\'s worth the risk," worm said

"I don\'t care about my family. I just want to know if this guy is really useful."

"Useful or useless, he is our family."

Manda was not in the mood to quarrel with worm. He took a deep breath and was about to start sacrificing. Suddenly, worm shouted, "wait a minute, I\'ll go to the warehouse to see the new wine."

"Ah, bah!" Manda spat at worm\'s back and said that he was not afraid that the failure of sacrifice would affect him!

The believers of Hephaestus are special. Their blood is not dropped in the sacrificial vessel, but on the furnace spirit. If it is the blood of the God of fire, the spirit will be awakened.

Guatel pricked his fingertip with an awl and dropped blood on the palm sized baby. After the blood disappeared, Manda heard a baby laugh.

"Hey, hey, hey!" the little doll rubbed her eyes and sat up. She grinned with her toothless teeth for a long time. Guatel also giggled with her. The little doll suddenly turned into a flame and got into guatel\'s mouth. Guatel closed his mouth as if it contained a very magical thing, opened his eyes round, and his two pupils swung back and forth from left to right like winding up his feet.

What\'s the situation? Kunta\'s translation did not say that the fire elf would drill into the believer\'s mouth and see that guatel\'s ears began to smoke. Manda roared, "spit it out, spit it out immediately!"

Guatel didn\'t vomit, but his cheeks became more and more swollen. It seemed that a powerful force was accumulated in his mouth, which made him unable to hold it.

Poof!

Guatel spits out a flame, which ignites the crystallization of the face on the altar and the whole altar at the same time.

Manda was shocked. He wanted to find water to put out the fire, but the smoke in the room choked him out of his eyes.

Spitting out all the flames, guatel stood in the thick smoke. Driven by some force, he suddenly took an oath: "the great God of fire, the patron of craftsmen, the great Hephaestus, please look here!"

He only read this oath, and there was a response in the thick smoke.

A hoarse voice of vicissitudes sounded in my ear: "my child, come to my arms."

Manda rushed out of the burning room, coughing and shouting, "fire! Fire!"

They hurried to find water. Millo, lying in the hall, suddenly opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "the God\'s family, appeared."

……

The fire went out and Manda\'s room burned down.

Guatel was like a freshly baked chicken, with an attractive oil red face and smoking, lying on the ground, snoring happily.

"Is it a failure or a success?" Manda looked at his house that was about to collapse and guatel\'s innocent smile. She always felt that she had lost a lot this time.

Worm returned to his room, changed his clothes and was ready to go out. Manda frowned and said, "didn\'t you hear the oracle of the great prophet? It\'s going to rain and wind. It\'s best to stay at home."

"It is our duty to report the news of the beginning of the war to the count. Moreover, even if we want to escape, we must at least get the permission of the count, otherwise there is no place to go."

Worm has a point, but Manda is worried that he will be stupid:

"Don\'t beg the count to take Toka. He won\'t take a useless child, and that child can\'t survive in the valley."

Worm moved his lips as if trying to squeeze out a smile:

"Don\'t worry. If the count asks us to go back to the valley and you go back alone, I\'ll find another place to take care of them, everyone here."

Manda suspected something was wrong with her ears. How could this be what worm said?

Did he betray the count for these people? From his tone, Manda could not hear any hesitation and guilt.

The fingertip seemed to be twisted by something, and Manda trembled with pain. He asked worm to wait here and wait until Ogg did a divination, but when Ogg came, worm had waved his wings and disappeared into the night sky.

"The great prophet told me that I can\'t leave my house tonight. I can\'t leave my house for the next three days. If I leave one step, I\'ll die."

Manda rubbed her fingertips hard and felt like being caught by a mouse. He asked a question he had been curious about: "how much does the great prophet say to you every day?"

……

The next morning, Manda opened her eyes. Guatel sat by the bed, stretched his neck and looked down at Manda face to face.

The saliva on his mouth pulled the filament and slowly forced it to Manda\'s lips.

Feeling a little cold, Manda opened her eyes and kicked guatel to the ground.

"What do you want to do?" shouted Manda.

"I\'m hungry," guatel replied truthfully.

The answer sounds familiar. What if he\'s hungry? Do you still want to eat me?

"When you are hungry, go to the kitchen to find food!"

"I went. Silva won\'t give me anything to eat."

Silva, in order to save his sister, came to the tavern, but he had great feelings for the tavern in a very short time. He was angry because Helena knocked over the wine can, and beat up drunken and riotous guests with Ogg.

He\'s a qualified housekeeper. He can\'t refuse to feed guatel because he\'s stupid. Manda has put money on him.

"Boss, he has had breakfast, three loaves of bread and two pieces of bacon." Silva was arguing for himself.

"The bread is too small and the bacon is too small. This stingy man always makes me hungry!" guatel was not willing to be weak.

"Eat, open your stomach!" Manda laughed. "Eat as much as you want!"

"You are a generous man!" guatel ate four loaves of bread, a jar of bacon, wiped his mouth, burped loudly, and huddled in the haystack for sleep.

Manda squatted next to guatel and said with a smile, "build me a weapon. It doesn\'t need to be too sharp. It\'s best to kill the enemy with one move."

Guatel picked up a stone and said, "is this OK?"

"Yes," Manda nodded and raised the stone. "Believe it or not, I\'ll break your head?"
