Standing in front of the count were not only Sphinx and Manda, but all those who had participated in the war.

The count called them here for only one purpose, rewarding them on merit.

Sphinx took great credit and led all the staff to defend the valley during the count\'s serious injury, because she had won the name of God. Merit was meaningless to her, and she didn\'t want gods. She didn\'t like ordinary gods, and the count wouldn\'t give her precious gods. So she chose a reward of 100 gold coins.

The next is leond. Needless to say, he has received 100 points of merit, and the merit value has reached 500 points. The count promised that he would try his best to find the artifact of the three headed dog, and immediately hold a sacrifice for him after obtaining the artifact.

Next came the first-order believers. There were four first-order believers who participated in the battle, including worm, and all received rich rewards.

Then it was the white duck\'s turn. Among the white ducks, Manda\'s contribution was undoubtedly the greatest, but I didn\'t expect that Kunta was the first person mentioned by the count.

"You put forward many useful suggestions to the Sphinx in the war. You were very brave when the enemy invaded for the first time. I can reward you with 30 points of merit. Counting the previous merits, you have accumulated 100 points, which can be exchanged for the opportunity of the second sacrifice. I believe the gods will open the door of first-class believers for you."

Kunta\'s body trembled unconsciously. Manda said, "it\'s over. This 25-year-old is going to die in front of tifeng."

After a moment of silence, Kunta looked up and said, "Sir, I don\'t want merit for the time being. I\'m not good at fighting. I hope to have a divine object to protect myself."

The count frowned and said, "do you want to be a white duck all your life?"

Kunta shook his head and said, "I dream of getting the gift of the gods, but I know my experience is not enough. If I pray rashly, I may offend the gods..."

Before he finished, the air suddenly became cold, and two more eyes appeared on the count\'s face.

Quinta said something the count didn\'t want to mention. He had just angered tifun and was severely punished.

He looked at Kunta carefully. Fortunately, Kunta was telling the truth. After suffocating silence, the room gradually warmed up, and the count\'s expression eased down.

"What kind of deity do you want?"

Quinta said, "I want the dagger made by the believers of Hephaestus. Sphinx lent it to me. The dagger saved my life in the battle. I want to really have it."

Manda gave Kunta a thumbs up in her heart. As a little person disliked by everyone, never being greedy is his way of survival.

"As I said, it\'s not a divine thing," thought the count for a moment. "I\'ll give you all the dagger and wrist guard. Your credit is worthy of the reward."

All the white ducks were rewarded until the count finally mentioned Manda.

"I succeeded in dragging the first wave of enemies, almost killed the traitors in the valley, found Sorens\' camp and brought back powerful gods. I really don\'t know what to reward you. Don\'t say you still want gold coins."

Uh

What should I say if I don\'t say gold coins? Manda\'s mind quickly deduced the results of different choices.

Choose gods?

The count would probably say that there was no suitable divine thing to reward him, and then let him choose merit.

Choose merit directly?

The count will probably give him a hundred merits, and then arrange a second sacrifice for him.

Typhon is a god of hard steel who has passed Zeus. If he dares to deceive him twice, Manda will probably succeed in death, his body will be destroyed, his soul will be thrown into the abyss of hell, and there is no chance of reincarnation.

After hesitation, Manda made a choice: "I still want gold coins."

The fire in the fireplace went out and the room froze in the cold moment.

The lioness smiled, "how, how, how greedy little guy."

The count blinked four eyes at Manda and asked softly, "is there nothing else here that can attract you?"

"I really want... Gold coins." in such a cold situation, Manda\'s sweat soaked his clothes, but his choice remained unchanged.

The lioness shook her head invisibly, indicating that she could not help Manda. Kunta closed her eyes. He knew Manda\'s helplessness, but he didn\'t dare to imagine Manda\'s ending.

Leond\'s behavior was a little strange. He kept sniffing. The count smelled it carefully. There was a strange smell in the room, as if something was burning.

"It\'s chimera! The smell of chimera." leond looked at Manda in surprise. Manda\'s sweat was steaming in the air conditioner.

The lion girl also smiled: "no wonder this little guy is so greedy for money. No wonder he can break the scales of Hydra. He got the first-order skill of chimera."

This sentence is really a life-saving assist. The scales of Hydra are much harder than top-grade steel. Worm bit off his sharp teeth and failed to leave a tooth mark, but he was caught through by Manda with his bare hands. So far, Manda has not been able to give a reasonable explanation.

The first-order skill of chimera is the claw. In terms of penetration, chimera\'s claw is only inferior to the fangs of three headed dogs. Although no one has done an experiment, it seems reasonable to penetrate the scales of Hydra.

The room warmed again, and the count looked at Manda with his head tilted and a smile on his face.

"How long has it been since chimera\'s followers appeared in the valley?"

Sphinx said, "the last time was five years ago. The guy died as soon as he entered the stage."

"I remember him. He\'s also a greedy guy," the count looked at Manda. "Since you\'re in the rank, you can\'t be promoted in a short time. Meritorious deeds are really useless to you. I\'ll reward you gold coins according to your meaning. How much do you want?"

Don\'t be greedy, don\'t be greedy. Manda stretched out a palm and said, "my contribution is worth at least five gold coins."

"That\'s too little. I\'ll give you thirty gold coins." the count showed an unimaginable generosity. Manda breathed out and silently thanked the old witch. When the gold coins arrived, he would buy Portia some beautiful clothes and a good walking stick.

Everyone was rewarded, and it was reasonable to leave. But the count has another important thing to do. Losing the old man means losing his Eyeliner outside the valley. He wants someone to take the place.

"Who wants to live outside the valley for a while?" the count smiled at the people.

Many people yearned for freedom outside the valley, but no one dared to speak easily, and no one dared to determine whether the count was testing them.

Everyone remained silent, and the count looked at the Sphinx.

Lioness knew she must have no hope, and leond had no chance. They were the main fighting forces in the valley.

Seeing the people\'s expectant but timid expression, Sphinx smiled and chose Manda.

"Let him go."

Manda\'s heart trembled. He wanted to go very much, but the lioness might arouse the count\'s suspicion.

The count glanced at Manda and said to Sphinx, "why choose him?"

"Because he defeated old yaman and almost killed him, he has enough wisdom to survive outside the valley."

The count looked at Manda and asked, "do you want to go?"

"Yes!" Manda nodded, unable to lie in front of the count.

"Why should I trust you?"

Manda thought for a moment: "you can find someone to go with me."

"Watching you?" the count frowned. "You are so clever that who can see you?"

Manda turned to look at worm. Worm was stunned and said to the count, "I don\'t want to leave the valley."

Worm was telling the truth. He hated life outside the valley, but the count didn\'t give him a choice. He needs a smart man, but also a loyal man to monitor the smart man. The most loyal man in the valley is undoubtedly worm.

"My Lord, I really don\'t want to go!" worm was angry and even contradicted the count. "If I leave, who will take care of the study?"

The count smiled. He ordered the others to step down and left Manda and worm in the room.

Worm is still making a final struggle: "my Lord, I don\'t know how to drive. I can\'t replace old yaman!"

Manda whispered, "we don\'t need to catch the bus. We can do something else."

The count touched his forehead as if he suddenly remembered something: "I almost forgot that worm is the best winemaker in the valley. I really don\'t want his wine."

"Then I shouldn\'t have left!" said worm

The count took out a piece of parchment and wrote a letter.

"Give this letter to Denison of Niujiao town and tell him you want to open a tavern. It\'s close to the valley, which is easy to transport goods and inquire about information."
