The ancient gods lived on Mount Olympia, and the Lord of punishment lived on dark blue celestial bodies.

Where does Tiffany live? What about primitive gods and Titans?

Manda didn\'t think about this kind of problem. Now it seems that he needs to think about it.

He bumped into a rock in the underworld, and the rock led to a strange place, where Sphinx was.

First of all, we can confirm that the position in front of us is definitely not in the world. There is no place in the world where we can see the sun without seeing the sun.

It is very important to determine the current position. Manda smells the smell of a trap. The trap is likely to be fatal. Without reinforcements, he has little chance to escape.

The three dogs drove him here, and the Sphinx was waiting for him to take the bait.

But why don\'t three dogs do it in the underworld?

It should be that he didn\'t want to offend the king of the underworld. It\'s better to fight with the three headed dog in the underworld. The three headed dog will converge in the underworld. I\'m afraid Sphinx won\'t have any scruples in this unknown place.

Manda\'s thoughts were flying fast, but Sphinx didn\'t give him much time to think.

"Come on, how do you want to die?"

Manda thought for a moment and said, "you can take me to the sky and then throw me down and die."

"Crisp, I like it," Sphinx nodded. "Take off your flying boots first."

"Wait a minute! It\'s ugly to fall to death!" Manda thought for a moment. "Why don\'t you stab me first and I\'ll stab you again. Let\'s see who dies first!"

Sphinx nodded and said, "OK, take off your battle clothes first!"

"Wait a minute! It\'s not polite to use a knife. How about we use our fingers?"

Sphinx sighed: "I should cut off your hand first, and then cut off your tongue. Don\'t play tricks with me, Manda Claude. I know the root of you. Make it clear first. Do you want to die?"

"To tell you clearly, I don\'t want to."

"If you don\'t want to die, sit down and chat with me."

Manda obediently sat on a big Bluestone. If Sphinx is a first-order God, Manda definitely has the courage to fight. Even if he is a second-order God, Manda also has the courage to compete with him for several rounds.

But after the resurrection of Typhon, the Sphinx was upgraded. He is now a sixth order God. Even on Mount Olympia, the sixth order gods are very important.

Manda now has a temple, but it has not reached the highest level of mortals. From the perspective of gods, it is a white duck.

Let a white duck take the sixth step alone. It\'s said that hitting the stone with an egg is a compliment to Manda.

Is he really a sphinx? Look at his face and curly blond hair. He is really a bit like a lion.

Manda straightened her face and said, "what do you want to talk about?"

"I want to talk to you about a business. Don\'t Hermes believers like doing business best?"

"It\'s business," said Manda, clearing her throat and giving a deep salute like pan. "Distinguished guest, what do you need?"

"What do you think a God needs from mortals?"

Manda pondered for a moment and said, "can you put on a dress first? I can\'t concentrate."

Sphinx put on a tulle and said, "as mortals, the only thing you can call precious is..."

"If you can dress a little thicker, I can\'t concentrate on listening to you."

Sphinx put on another layer of gauze: "you mortals are the most precious..."

"Can you wear a less transparent..."

The Sphinx roared and scared Manda to shiver. Manda has heard the lion woman\'s roar countless times, but the roar of this master is far from being comparable to the lion woman in terms of penetration and shock.

"If you dare to interrupt me again, I\'ll break your neck. Where did I say?"

"Mortals are the most precious!"

"I\'ve said that before?" Sphinx frowned. "Forget it, I need to believe in pearls instead of saying those useless things."

"That kind of thing is hard to handle!" Manda put on the face of a businessman.

"If it\'s easy, why should I come to you?"

"But it\'s hard for you to believe that pearls don\'t belong to the world."

"Can\'t you really get it?" Sphinx sank his face.

"If the quantity is not too much, you can think of a way, but at this price..."

"I want 20000!"

Manda was stunned, which really embarrassed him.

He blackmailed Odysseus a lot, but he also wasted a lot before he was promoted to the seventh level.

Although the missionaries prayed to mengdabaikuga every day, and there were still 40 or 50 pearls a day, this pearl was just enough for Manda to pay off his debts to the God of celestial bodies. It was easy to say that there were three or five hundred surplus grains, but one mouth was 20000, which was not the amount Manda could bear.

"Twenty thousand can\'t be taken out."

"If you can\'t take it out, you can find Hermes."

Looking for Hermes to believe in pearls?

It\'s not impossible, but what does Sphinx give in exchange?

Sphinx offered an amazing price: "trade your life for it."

Exchange Manda\'s life for 20000 pearls.

"Are you in business or kidnapping?"

Sphinx smiled, "it makes no difference to me."

Manda bit her lips and said, "do you think my life is worth so much?"

"I guess Hermes cherishes his only believer."

Manda took a deep breath and said, "I don\'t think it\'s appropriate. Your father and I, the great tifeng, had a deep friendship before. If we were good, we would be like brothers..."

"That\'s enough!" Sphinx growled, and Manda felt her blood suddenly stop.

It was either illusion or stillness. Just for a moment, Manda felt that all her organs had stopped running.

This is the difference between true God and mortal. Especially for high-level God, if his roar is more fierce, Manda\'s heart may stop beating forever.

"Don\'t mention your father to me again," Sphinx said angrily. "He has given you so much help, and you are here to tell these boring jokes when he needs you!"

"Typhon needs me? Where is he?"

"Shut up!" roared again. "I said, don\'t mention my father again. I\'m the one doing business with you now. It has nothing to do with him!"

Manda rubbed her chest, gasped and said, "I can\'t take out too many pearls. I can only ask Hermes for help. You have to help me get in touch with Hermes."

Sphinx smiled cunningly: "do you still need my help for such a thing? Hermes is a believer like you. He can\'t stare at you every day?"

"Will you stare at your believers every day?"

"When I\'m not here, I\'ll stare at holna every day, so I know everything about you like the back of my hand. Do you understand?"

"I see." Manda nodded. He found that the sophistication and cunning of Sphinx were pretended.

In the two sentences just now, he leaked two important messages. The first message is that the pearl is for tifeng. Tifeng has been badly hurt. It is estimated that he will use the Pearl of faith to heal his wounds.

When tifeng is in trouble, Manda should help, but can\'t obediently send pearls, because kidnapping is not a business. Even if the ransom is paid, the other party may continue to blackmail, and even tear up the ticket.

The second message is that sphinx can\'t monitor holna here for a long time, which proves that it is isolated from the outside world under normal circumstances, and Manda can\'t easily get in touch with the gods.

But since Sphinx wants pearls, he must open the channel to contact the outside world, and Manda can\'t bring so many pearls with him.

"I need to pray to Hermes. He must hear my prayer to respond."

Sphinx smiled calmly and said, "I didn\'t stop you from praying. Maybe your voice is not loud enough and the gods can\'t hear clearly."

He was testing Manda. He worried that Manda had a special way to get in touch with Hermes without restrictions.

"I can\'t just say a word and count it as prayer," Manda said. "Prayer needs ceremony and the most basic piety to the gods."

Sphinx said impatiently, "just say what you want!"

"First of all, we need sacrifices. We need to offer cooked food to pray to Hermes."

"It\'s easy!" Sphinx waved, and a huge wing with golden light crossed the water in an instant. After a gust of wind, the wings disappeared, and dozens of fish appeared in front of Manda.

Sphinx stretched out his hands, two flames burst out of his palms, and dozens of fish were soon cooked.

"Are these enough?"

Manda nodded, "that\'s enough, but we need an altar."

With a wave of Sphinx\'s hand, a flat stone came to Manda.

"Is this OK?"

"No," Manda shook her head. "The altar should be in the temple."

Sphinx said angrily, "do you want me to build a temple for Hermes?"

Manda shook her head and said, "it\'s not that much trouble. Just a house that can keep out the wind and rain."

Sphinx shook his head and said, "you have too many tricks. My patience is running out."

"The gods of Olympia are very harsh. They never accept ungodly prayers. You should know this very well. Moreover, after observing me for so long, you should know that I will never recite the name of Hermes in the wilderness."

Sphinx frowned and said, "I\'ll find you a place. I hope you can make do with it, or our business will collapse."

He grabbed Manda and flew to an altitude of more than 60 feet, over a swamp and into another forest.

This place is bigger than expected. Manda can\'t see the boundary or find the direction. He must adjust his escape plan.

In the middle of another forest, Sphinx put Manda on the ground. There is a wooden house here, which is very simple, but basically meets Manda\'s requirements for the temple.

"Can you make do with it?"

Manda nodded and said, "with this sincerity, the gods will not be picky."

After entering the cabin, Manda found that there was only one room, which was a little troublesome.

The room was a mess, with bows and arrows of different sizes, as well as the fur of many animals.

"A group of hunters once lived here. This sundry shouldn\'t affect Hermes\'s interest?"

Manda shook her head and said, "it\'s very influential. The gods will never look at such a dirty place. You must clean it up."

"I? Clean? Must? Are you talking to me?" Sphinx said angrily. "I\'ll give you half a day to clean this place by yourself!"
