Give Me the Name of God

Chapter 137



Through Kunta\'s explanation, Manda had a new understanding of the profession of priest.

The duty of the priest is to preside over the standardized sacrificial ceremony for the believers of ancient gods. From entering the rank, advancing to obtaining the name of God, every promotion is inseparable from sacrifice, and an excellent priest will greatly improve the success rate of promotion.

Taking entering the rank as an example, an excellent priest can judge the destiny God of the white duck, which avoids the tragedy of becoming a lost person.

In the upgraded sacrifice, the priest can distinguish whether the statue is true, accurately arrange the altar, accurately control the sacrifice process, and probably strive for the response of the gods on the basis of ensuring that the gods are not offended and desecrated.

As for the sacrificial process of obtaining the name of God, it is more complex. Manda and Kunta can help leond obtain the name of God, largely relying on luck. Manda has the experience of successfully sacrificing himself, while Kunta has only learned some scattered knowledge, and the two together are not qualified priests.

Manda and Kunta are not the only ones who rely on luck. All priests rely more or less on luck. The count once said, "there is no real priest in this world."

In the classical era, priests were a rare and mysterious profession. They mastered complete sacrificial knowledge, and each sacrificial process had strict norms. The sacrificial success rate they presided over was very high, and there was basically no possibility of failure. People called them messengers to the temple of gods.

With the rise of the Church of divine punishment, the real priests became extinct more than 300 years ago, and the orthodox sacrificial knowledge was lost. Later priests were divided into many schools. They mastered some orthodox knowledge and used some unconventional means to make up for the lack of knowledge. In short, they were the so-called heresy.

These unconventional means have some disadvantages, and their success rate will be greatly reduced. Even the count, an excellent blood wizard priest, plus the addition of the dependants and the tartartaros fog, there are still many examples of sacrificial failure, and Kunta is one of them.

The knowledge mastered by all priests in this era is incomplete, and the complete knowledge is recorded in this book of priests. Kunta never dreamed that this legendary ancient book actually exists, and what\'s more, this book will fall into Manda\'s hands.

"Can you let me leave a copy? Just lend it to me for a few more days!" Kunta looked at Manda begging. "I want to be a real priest."

"Of course," Manda smiled. "I\'ll give you a month, but don\'t leave the transcript. You have to remember every detail in the book."

"I can do it, I can do it!" Kunta nodded excitedly, but there was some expectation in her eyes. "The book of priests has three volumes, and do you have the other two volumes?"

"Not yet. I\'ll try to get it for you."

Manda deceived Kunta. He found more than 70 ancient books from the underground palace. Although he only knew a few Aramaic words, Manda knew that two books had the same title as this book. There was no doubt that they were the other two volumes of the book of priests.

The reason why Kunta was not told was that Manda had to master the contents of the book in advance to prevent Kunta from hiding something from him.

Manda trusts Quinta, but all trust is limited.

Back in the empty main house, Manda sat on the floor and began to build her heart.

His "grandfather" moved everything away without leaving a bed. This open environment can make people concentrate. He is considering how to learn Aramaic in a short time.

In fact, there is no need to think about it. There is only one method. The only question to consider is how many books to learn in a day. Manda trembles when she thinks of worm\'s claws.

Halfway through the psychological construction, Silva came in and reported the knowledge learned from old Cantor to Manda.

When she heard that she could only hire ten guards, Manda was disappointed. When she heard that Silva only planned to hire twenty-one guards, Manda was even more disappointed.

"In addition to ten guards, you want a coachman and ten Li Nong?" asked Manda.

Silva looked calm and said, "Sir, I know the cost is not small, but we have too many fields to be abandoned. At first, I didn\'t want to hire a coachman, and I would drive the car, but they told me that it\'s not decent for the housekeeper to drive the car..."

"Of course not!" said Manda, frowning. "Who told you to drive? We have ten carriages. How can a coachman be enough?"

Silva wondered, "you mean there are fewer people?"

"Of course not! Did old Cantor only let you hire twenty-one people? Did he take care of the manor?"

"He didn\'t say that. He said..." Silva repeated old Cantor\'s original words.

After hearing this, Manda asked, "I asked you to learn to read with worm. How\'s it going?"

"I\'ve learned a lot and can understand the ledger."

"That\'s good," Manda threw a piece of parchment. "Write me a list. Li Nong wants 50 people."

Silva said in amazement: "it won\'t take so much..."

"Let you write. I\'m a decent man. I have my pomp. You know, there should be 50 factotresses, 30 Coachmans, 30 grooms, 20 gardeners, no maids, and 40 male servants..."

The quill fell to the ground and Silva was about to collapse. According to Manda, he had to hire at least 200 people.

"Sir, we can\'t use so many people. Do you know how much it will cost? It costs more than 100 gold coins just to pay them every year."

"That\'s all? It seems that I\'m still underemployed," Manda smiled. "You remember, I only want men, and I can\'t be over fifteen."

Silva grinned, "do laundrywomen and cleaners want men?"

Manda lowered her face and said, "can\'t a man wash a woman?"

"But... Well, children under the age of 15 are not strong enough."

"We don\'t need to be too strong. We can hire more people if we don\'t have enough hands. Young people are obedient and have no housework. They will work hard."

"Well, I want a man under the age of 15 who doesn\'t have family affairs." Silva didn\'t dare to ask more. He walked out of the house with parchment and sighed, "I didn\'t expect that the master only likes men, but men can\'t give birth to young masters."

Thinking of this, Silva patted his forehead again, thinking what to do with these things? The master will certainly marry a noble lady to give him children. If you want a man, there will be a man, and if you want a woman, there will be a woman. This is the life of an aristocrat.

That night, Manda asked worm to "learn" two ancient Aramaic books. Until noon the next day, his mental condition was still very poor.

Silva couldn\'t wait to send a good news: "Sir, don\'t hire anyone. Lord Viscount sent seventy slaves, all of them very strong."

Seventy slaves? The Viscount is so generous.

Eudora said, "why did he send us slaves? Do you want to plant spies?"

Silva was stunned. It seems that he thought things simple.

Manda thought for a long time and said, "if slaves take it, people still have to hire."

Silva wondered, "do you have to hire so many people?"

"Let you go!" Manda rubbed her eyebrows and said impatiently. "Go and buy some belongings by the way. Don\'t let me sleep on the ground all the time? Take more gold coins and buy some good things. Don\'t forget my identity. I\'m a decent person!"
