Manda and worm entered old yaman\'s long house and sat next to the fire pond. There were no chairs. It was comfortable to sit on the soft hay after driving all day.

Long houses, as the name suggests, are generally more than ten meters long and four or five meters wide. The walls are made of large and small stones mixed with clay, and then made of wood beams and thatched roofs. This is the most symbolic civilian residence of this era.

Along the long side, the house is divided into three areas. Old yaman lives on one side, old yaman\'s horse lives on the other side, and the soul of the long house - fire pond is in the middle.

A fire pond is a pit on fire. A circle of stones is built around the pit, which can be used for heating or cooking.

It sounds incredible. People live with animals like this, but this is the house that farmers are proud of. This is the biggest difference between them and slaves. Being able to own a long house and their own animals is the life of many farmers\' dreams.

"Tell me, what happened in the valley?" old yaman filled Manda and worm with a bowl of hot soup.

Manda is hungry and thirsty. This bowl of hot soup is really attractive. Looking at the kind old aman, Manda thinks the lion girl may have misunderstood him too deeply.

Werm held the hot soup and said, "Pluto\'s sacrifice failed. The Marquis of NARS sold us a fake golden apple, which angered TIPHON. He destroyed half of the temple and someone was injured."

This is the countermeasure that Manda and Werm discussed on the road. As long as Manda doesn\'t speak, Werm will always speak, and everything Werm says is the truth. This is the best way to keep old yaman in doubt.

"I didn\'t expect that nals would do such a thing!" old yaman\'s hand was shaking. "How\'s the count? Aren\'t you hurt?"

Before worm spoke, Manda took the lead: "the count is very good. He prayed desperately for Pluto in exchange for tifun\'s forgiveness, but he also paid some price."

This sentence is to remind old yaman that the count is very good and Pluto is also very good. The main combat effectiveness in the valley has not been damaged.

"What\'s the price?" old yaman looked at Manda nervously.

Manda took a sip of the hot soup: "the count promised Typhon to wash away this disgrace and let the Marquis of NARS learn to repent."

Old yaman breathed a sigh of relief: "thank the gods, thank the gods for their tolerance. As long as the count is not hurt, I\'m really afraid. I\'m really afraid that my old bone will be helpless. Drink more soup. I\'m hungry. I still have bread here. I\'ve been thinking, where have I seen you? You should go to the drawing city with them."

Old yaman handed Manda a piece of bread. Manda nodded and said, "we made a mistake and didn\'t distinguish the fake apple."

"It\'s not your fault, young man. That villain NARS is really treacherous. Please tell the count that I\'m willing to fight for him and wash away the shame with him..." old yaman was stunned. He found that Manda had become a cockfighting eye. "What\'s the matter with your eyes, child?"

"When drilling the cave, I got into the sand. I\'ve been uncomfortable." Manda pretended to rub her eyes. In fact, he was staring at the bowl of soup in his hand.

Two pieces of dried vegetables and one piece of bacon. The price of this bowl of soup will not exceed two copper coins, but there are a gold coin and more than a dozen silver coins in front of us. It seems that a lot of precious ingredients have been added to the soup.

His hand has been groping at the bottom of the bowl, found a suitable position, and poked a hole in the bottom of the bowl with his golden finger.

The soup was very hot. Manda resisted the burning pain and blocked the small hole with his fingers. He crumpled the bread and soaked it into the soup. It looked like porridge. He took a big SIP and swallowed it. In the heat, old yaman couldn\'t see his mouth clearly. He only saw that the soup in the bowl was less.

"Eat, boy, are you tired? Sleep when you\'re full."

Manda held the wooden bowl silently. Worm put it down and said, "have you heard from Marquis naris recently?"

"No," old yaman shook his head, "that bastard has done such dirty things. How dare he come to Tieshan town? I have heard some news about Viscount sorense. He has increased taxes, bought a lot of weapons and formed an army. It seems that there are more than 100 people in the red maple forest. This is a big battle. I guess which Baron under him will suffer again."

"Has anyone seen that army?"

"I haven\'t seen it. Several farmers in the village have seen it. They sent pickles to the barracks."

"What kind of soldiers are they, ordinary people or believers of ancient gods?"

"Those vegetable farmers can\'t see this," old yaman said with a smile when he dialed the fire and saw that Manda kept her head down. "Sleep. If you want to sleep, sleep for a while."

This was the second time he repeated the same words. Manda felt that he should cooperate with him. He rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"This is not the time to sleep!" worm pushed Manda, who opened her eyes with irresistible fatigue on her face.

There was little broth left in the wooden bowl. Old yaman picked up the spoon and said, "I\'ll fill you another bowl."

"No, I\'m full." Manda shook her head.

Old yaman sighed and said, "look, the child is tired. Let him sleep for a while."

This is the third time.

After a short silence, old yaman said, "are you worried that sorense will attack the valley?"

"You don\'t think he will?"

"He shouldn\'t have the courage, but it\'s hard to say if it\'s NARS\'s order. Although this is not NARS\'s territory, sorense is a dog. He doesn\'t dare to listen to the Marquis\'s order. Maybe there are ancient god believers in his army, or even believers of more than second order..."

Old yaman stopped. He heard Manda snoring. Manda was half lying on the hay, snoring, drooling and sleeping soundly.

This requires some skills. If you tighten your throat and let the breath pass through the upper part of the nasopharynx, you can imitate a very realistic snoring. In fact, it is not an imitation. This is the process of snoring.

Drooling should be relatively simple. Lie on one side and let the drool flow naturally along the corners of your mouth. Don\'t be too artificial.

Manda\'s acting skills deceived old Yama and worm. Worm just wanted to wake him up, but he saw old Yama bring a blanket over Manda: "let him sleep for a while, just for a while. How old is the child and how young is he? You forced him to work for the count."

Old yaman\'s tone changed. Worm pushed Manda: "get up, we should go."

Manda slept as sweet as ever. Old yaman smiled and asked, "what stage is the child?"

Worm said coldly, "he just finished the sacrifice last month and hasn\'t entered the stage yet."

"Old friend, how many years have we known each other? Do you think you are good at lying?" old yaman smiled at worm. "How can the count send an inferior child to test me? Do you think he is crazy?"

Worm grinned, revealing two sharp teeth: "you betrayed the count."

"Don\'t say betrayal, it\'s too harsh. Look what the count gave me? What do I owe him? I\'ve been with him for 30 years. I\'m the messenger of Hydra, I\'m a demigod, and I don\'t want to live with horses forever!"

Worm stood up and just wanted to pull Manda up, but old yaman put a fire stick against his chest: "Sit down, old friend, although I\'m old, you should know how big the gap between us is. Sit down and drink a bowl of soup. Let\'s have a good chat. If it\'s not for the prevention of this child, why should I waste so much thought? Do you know how expensive a bag of sleeping grass seeds is? Drink it for you? Do you match it?"

Worm pushed away old yaman\'s fire stick, picked up Manda, turned back and spit out a mouthful of insect silk to old yaman. Old yaman pushed away the insect silk with the fire stick and swept at worm\'s feet. Worm fell to the ground.

Manda also fell badly, but his snoring didn\'t stop.

Old yaman stood up slowly, and two snake heads came out from both sides of his neck.

"In fact, the child has nothing to guard against. I don\'t think he will exceed level 2 at most, but the Marquis wants to catch alive. One alive is enough. Do you think I should choose him or you?"
