Seventy slaves stood neatly in the yard, waiting for Manda\'s placement.

Fifty men and twenty women. Men are strong and women are beautiful. Sorens really paid for it.

Yodora whispered, "it tastes."

The smell she said refers to the smell of believers of ancient gods, and Manda smelled it.

"Believers of ancient gods have their own skills. They shouldn\'t be slaves."

"That\'s not certain," Eudora shook her head and said in Manda\'s ear. "Some ancient god believers live very miserable. As long as they can beg for food, they can do anything."

Manda smiled and remained silent. Viscount Sorens\'s housekeeper was still in the yard, whispering all the time. It was obviously not polite.

Viscount Sorens has been involved in the valley of resentment haze for many years. He knows how to distinguish the believers of ancient gods and how precious the believers of ancient gods are. Even if some believers of ancient gods were reduced to slavery, Sorens would not let such people bury them.

There is no doubt that the believers of ancient gods are spies, but the question is why Sorens did this? Test Manda\'s eyesight? This is too childish.

This was a cover up he had made. He released several lures for Manda to clean up and hide the real spies.

In previous lives, as an excellent gambler, such means were rotten by Manda. He took all the slaves and gave a hundred gold coins to the old housekeeper as a gift to the viscount.

The old housekeeper refused to accept it. Manda insisted on giving it to each other. The old housekeeper left with gold coins.

Manda sent all the slaves to the forest and asked them to build wooden houses along the hillside under Ogg\'s supervision. He wanted to change the defenseless state of the forest, and he didn\'t intend to hide it from Sorens.

At the same time, he asked worm to arrange insect silk in the forest, and asked lioness, ziegesse and sangira to monitor the movements of these slaves. If anyone leaves the forest and intrudes into the manor, they will be killed.

Yodora didn\'t understand Manda\'s approach: "why don\'t you catch and kill those smelly people first? They are the most suspected."

"That\'s not necessary," Manda said with a smile. "I can find out all the spies at any time, but I don\'t want Sorens to react too violently. As for those ancient god believers, we have to determine their gods first. You and Pluto have to step back. When we need the divine blood stone, we\'ll kill and eat it now."

Five days later, Silva hired all the people and bought all the expenses, and the manor began a vigorous renovation. During the day, the young boys are engaged in hard physical labor under the command of Silva. At night, the selected boys have to go to Manda\'s room alone to accept a special test.

Every time he sent the boy to Manda\'s room, Silva couldn\'t help sighing: "poor young man, I hope you can get the favor of the master."

Manda didn\'t do too much to them, just asked them some questions.

"What\'s your name?"

"My name is manu."

"Can you read?"

"Can\'t read."

"Who do you believe in?"

"Believe in God\'s punishment."

"Are you religious to the Lord?" Manda stared at the young man with cockfighting eyes.

The young man dared not look up and whispered, "believe in the Lord. You can go to church and get some black bread every month."

When he said this, a few copper coins appeared on his face. The young man was telling the truth. His faith was very cheap.

"Go to work in the west house tomorrow and listen to master Kunta."

The young man is as pure as a piece of white paper. He is a moldable man.

After seeing manu off, another young man came. His name was collet.

"Who do you believe in?"

"I believe in Zeus, the Lord of the gods!" collet returned loudly, his eyes full of pride.

Manda smiled, "aren\'t you afraid of being burned as a heretic?"

"Don\'t be afraid!" collet raised his chest and said, "Viscount ox horn is about to hit Tieshan Town, the end of the punisher is coming, and the era of the ancient god is coming back!"

Manda nodded and asked, "do you want to be a believer in the ancient god?"

"I dream that I will become a believer of the ancient god."

"Have you seen Viscount Sorens?"

"Never."

Two gold coins flashed on the young man\'s face. These two words are very valuable.

The first sentence represents a commitment. It is unknown who gave him the commitment.

The second sentence represents his loyalty. He is lying for Sorens. Although he knows it will take a lot of risks, the young man has no hesitation.

He is a spy sent by Sorens. Sorens is really omnipresent. Among the people hired by Silva, there are also his spies.

Without asking any more, Manda arranged for him to work in the forest.

After ten days of investigation, Manda got the information about all the young people. There are 157 useful people who can be shaped. This is the advantage of young people. Manda sent them to the west house for education.

Of course, there are also 39 people who are loyal to the Lord of God\'s punishment. They have devout beliefs and regard all believers of ancient gods as heretics.

Such people are left in the main house to do hard work. After a period of time, Manda will drive them away. Killing can\'t be killed. Manda doesn\'t want to provoke the punisher for the time being.

There are also 14 special people. Some of them can be identified as spies, and some are suspected of being spies. All these people are sent to the forest and will be dealt with uniformly at the right time.

After completing the background investigation, the decoration of the manor also has a preliminary appearance.

Sitting at the big desk, Manda picked up the quill pen and began to write a new summary.

Ultimate goal: get God\'s name and eternal life.

Long term goal: build an army.

Short term goal: complete the third-order promotion within this year, and can suppress people in strength. (except Millo)

Current goal: win aristocratic status in Tieshan town.

Without a legal identity, no amount of effort is futile. Unless Manda wants to be a secluded savage like Millo, or a mountain king like an earl, when he is promoted to a certain class, he is bound to become the object of divine punishment.

Even if Viscount gassack finally wins the war, others will stare at Manda. If they are careless, they will become other people\'s chess pieces or even cannon fodder.

In this crazy era, if you want to survive, the identity of nobility is undoubtedly the best umbrella.

As yodora rubbed Manda\'s shoulder, she asked, "what exactly are you writing? Is it a text or a picture?"

Manda smiled, "if you understand one day, I\'ll kill you."

Eudora put her arms around Manda and said softly, "don\'t let me live in fear."

Manda sighed, "what can I do? Who makes me live in fear?"

……

The next day, Silva came to see Manda: "Sir, a guest wants to see you. He was the former owner of the house, Lord Pedros."

Manda was stunned. It was Grandpa.

What is he doing here? Don\'t he feel embarrassed to see the new owner of his manor?

"Tell your Lord to wait a moment. I\'ll change my clothes and see him."
