Manda couldn\'t understand the attitude of the old goat. She couldn\'t think of anything to offend him.

Because of borrowing money? The interest on 22 gold coins lasts for one year. Now it will be repaid in three months. What\'s not satisfactory?

Maybe I\'m upset. I\'ll talk to him in two days. The copper snail couldn\'t count on him either. Manda decided to take a chance at the market.

Although the original black market no longer exists, businessmen no longer need to cover up. They can openly sell all kinds of sacred objects in the market. The old rules remain, and they can distinguish between true and false.

The poet suggested that Manda go to the old housekeeper first. He had the most rare things in his hand.

The old housekeeper opened a shop in the market. When he heard about Manda\'s intention, he took out a snail shell the size of a wooden basin on the spot.

"I only have this one, asking for 200 gold coins."

Manda has never seen a snail with a copper shell, but she can tell the value of the snail shell. It is indeed made of copper, but it has nothing to do with a snail except its shape.

Lulian also introduced several businessmen to Manda. These businessmen all have a common characteristic. In any case, they will not say they are out of stock.

"The copper shell snails are just sold out. If you don\'t worry, there will be new goods next month."

"No one wants copper snails for a long time. I have two gold snails here, which can be sold to you at a low price."

"This is the real copper shell snail. It looks no different from ordinary snails, but it is the best snail in a hundred..."

The market is much busier than before, and many believers of ancient gods are selling their skills. Believers of the midwifery goddess eltia specially help people deliver babies, believers of the plant God Adonis help people plant flowers and plants, and believers of the dream God onyrii specially sell beautiful dreams. A dream only costs 20 copper coins.

Returning empty handed from the market, Manda saw a group of slaves on the ruins of the temple. Most of them were defeated and captured divine punishers, who rebuilt the temple of Ares under the whips of soldiers.

Is the age of the gods really back? With a Viscount gassack? There was a trace of worry in Manda\'s heart.

Back in the tavern, Manda saw Pluto\'s carriage. He was chatting with worm in the room, followed by two first-class believers, one is Eudora, the eagle banshee, and the other is Nadia, the snake demon.

Why did they come? Why didn\'t Pluto warn in advance? Eudora was fine, but Nadia was the count\'s confidant, and she would tell the count everything she saw.

Manda looked at Pluto. He still wore the blindfold, and his handsome face maintained its unique mystery and vicissitudes.

He always praised Viscount gassack: "he was a bold man. He dared to come to the valley in person and lived for a month. He prayed with the count and finally moved TIPHON. A sacrifice ushered in 20 first-class believers,

I really can\'t imagine that he could sweep away all the punishers around him. They demolished the church, demolished the statues of false gods, and turned all the blasphemous maniacs into slaves.

It is our honor to fight with Viscount gassack. Thank the count for giving us such an opportunity. "

"You fight with the Viscount?" Manda did not understand Pluto\'s meaning.

Pluto explained: "it\'s not you, it\'s us. The three of us plus you. The count asked us to go out with Stanley knight. I haven\'t seen Stanley. I heard you know him very well. Isn\'t this man difficult to get along with?"

"I\'m going too?" Manda was dumbfounded

Pluto nodded and said, "this is the count\'s order."

"Why?"

"We just need to obey orders and don\'t need to ask why." Pluto\'s expression is a little complicated. Manda looks at yodora and natya. Pluto can\'t say something clearly.

Including Millo and the "poet", there are eight employees in the tavern. These eight employees were unprepared and must have been seen by Nadia.

Nadia saw it, and the count would soon know that it was irreparable.

From time to time, worm tapped the newly grown small Ao teeth and the insect silk around the silent controller Nadia. He wanted to find a chance to kill Nadia. It seemed that this was the only way to solve the problem.

Pluto clenched worm\'s hand and motioned him not to be impulsive. From Pluto\'s expression, Manda got a hint that Nadia was not as easy to deal with as she thought.

The sudden change made Manda\'s thoughts a little messy. After thinking for a moment, Manda decided to find out the count\'s intention first.

"We want to fight for the viscount. First we get the permission of Knight Stanley. The two ladies will have a rest here. Pluto and I will visit the knight."

Pluto nodded and was about to go out with Manda, but heard natya say, "the count has prepared a letter for the viscount. We just give the letter to the viscount. We don\'t need to pay attention to any knights."

"So it is," smiled Manda. "Please give me the letter and I\'ll send it to the Viscount castle."

Nadia shook her head and said, "this letter must be handed over to the Viscount myself. It\'s the count\'s order."

A chill came to her heart. Manda had the same idea as worm. He really wanted to kill Nadia.

But Pluto gripped Manda\'s hand, and Eudora was gently shaking her head at Manda. They were sending a message that they must not kill natya, otherwise there would be big trouble.

What has changed about this woman? Isn\'t it just a first order? Manda tried to keep a smile on her face, nodded and said, "OK, let\'s go together, but I\'m not sure you can see the viscount."

Yodo stretched himself, sat down in a chair and said, "I won\'t go. My legs are useless. It\'s too hard to walk."

Nadia ignored yodora, arranged her cloak, and left the tavern with Manda and Pluto.

The three walked silently on the road. When they were approaching the Viscount castle, natya suddenly asked, "Why are there so many strangers in your tavern?"

Manda said with a smile, "we are doing business. Naturally, there are many strange guests."

Nadia said with a gloomy face, "don\'t play tricks. There is a big man, two women, a labourer and a fool, a child and a paralytic. These seven people are not guests at all. They are your men!"

Nadia was one of the few. She didn\'t find Millo.

Did she hide it on purpose?

I don\'t think so. Pluto has been here several times before and never mentioned Millo.

Millo seems to be no different from ordinary drunkards. He can easily deceive Pluto and natya with his strength.

Manda had some confidence. He smiled and explained, "you can see that the business of the tavern is very good. I and worm alone can\'t maintain the business. We have to hire some helpers."

Nadia was expressionless: "the count didn\'t ask you to run the tavern. Did you forget your mission? Did you get the permission of the count to let strangers live in the tavern? What\'s the purpose of leaving so many subordinates? There are ancient god believers among them. What do you want to do?"

Although Nadia was the count\'s confidant, she was not sinister, at least she could tell everything she saw.

Manda smiled bitterly, "I really don\'t know how to explain to you that it\'s not easy to survive outside."

Nadia sneered, "you don\'t have to explain it to me. I\'ll tell the count about it and be ready to explain it to him."

While talking, the three arrived at the castle. The soldier at the door knew Manda very well and said with a smile, "is there another letter?"

Manda nodded.

The soldier stretched out his hand and said, "give it to me."

Manda looked back at natya. Natya shook her head and said, "I\'ll give it to the Viscount myself."

The soldier said with a smile, "didn\'t nidali tell you the rules? The Viscount is not what you want to see."

"I won\'t go without him!" Nadia said very strongly.

"Well, don\'t go," the soldier came forward and touched Nadia\'s face. "Stay with us. We happen to be a little lonely."

The soldiers laughed and Nadia was furious.

Manda took Nadia\'s hand and whispered, "don\'t mess around. This is not a valley."

After a long stalemate, seeing that the soldiers had no possibility of accommodation, nathia healed and handed the letter to the soldiers.

Manda was not at ease. He took out a gold coin and put it into the soldier\'s hand. He told him, "we must send the letter to the viscount."

The soldier was stunned and pushed the gold back to Manda. Sending the letter was just a small matter. He knew Manda very well. There was no need to give extra gifts for this small matter.

And there were too many gold coins. The soldiers couldn\'t understand Manda\'s meaning.

Manda insisted on putting the gold coins into the soldier\'s hand and said with a smile, "I\'ll buy you a drink. Be sure to send the letter and say hello to the knight for me."
