Manda summoned the old goat with 50 silver coins. First, she had to ensure that she could buy the fragrant stone. If she couldn\'t even do business on Lulian\'s side, she could only pray for Pluto\'s afterlife.

Fortunately, Pluto was lucky. The old goat had Xiangning stones, one of which could be used for three years and the other for four years. It cost Manda 58 gold coins, and the old goat increased its price again. The reason was that the four-year Xiangning stones were very precious, and he only had these two in his hand.

Manda could not refuse, but let the witch pick up a bargain.

It\'s cheaper. 58 gold coins plus the previous 23 gold coins and 81 gold coins buy Pluto a pair of eyes. This business... Still hurts.

It is important to have an insider in the valley. Pluto is different from Quinta. He has the opportunity to enter and leave the valley. Of course, the premise is that he can restore his strength and his position in the valley.

But when he recovers everything, can he still be Manda\'s loyal? In the memory of previous lives, gratitude is a fool\'s stubbornness, and the wise man\'s means is to cross the river and tear down the bridge. After recovery, Pluto may not appreciate Manda and even bite back. What should we do then?

"Tell Bruto that if this happens, I\'ll dig his eyes." Manda got a reply from the viscount and handed the witch\'s personal clothes and the reply to worm.

"Send the letter first, and then find the old witch. The count must not find it."

"What if the count asks Toka?" said worm

"Pray that he doesn\'t ask. If he asks, only answer \'he\'s a guest\'."

Worm took a deep breath, waved his wings and flew to the valley.

Manda sent Toka, Toka\'s mother and Ogg to the house in the town. It\'s far away from the tavern and ion Jue\'s castle. The surrounding residents are dense and the sources are complex. It\'s an excellent hiding place.

Everything was in order. Manda ran the tavern alone and didn\'t close until dawn.

I didn\'t sleep after closing. It was the appointed day. Manda had to give the Xiangning stone to Lulian.

Seeing that the gate of the courtyard was locked, Manda was preparing to cut off the lock. Unexpectedly, the gate opened automatically.

Lu Lian stood at the door and said, "I remember you are a very polite child. Remember to knock at the door next time."

Entering Lulian\'s painting garden, Manda took out two fragrant stones. Lulian was quite satisfied with the quality.

After chatting for a while, Manda was ready to go home and sleep. Lulian suddenly stopped him:

"There are some things I shouldn\'t ask more. Why can\'t I smell the breath of ancient god believers in you?"

"Because..." Manda was about to make up a reason to perfunctory the past, but suddenly remembered something.

The guy was sniffling when he saw zarik last night.

Why does he sniff? Have you caught a cold?

Manda\'s head was buzzing and he seemed to have forgotten to take off his wing covering brooch.

He would report the matter to the count, who would ask him to give a reasonable explanation.

Manda sat back in her chair, pondered for a while and said with a smile, "I\'ve tried some ways to cover up my breath. Do you have any good methods? Such as prescriptions."

"There is a prescription, but it may not be better than your method."

"You may not imagine how bad my method is."

Lulian didn\'t ask any more. She took out a piece of papyrus, wrote down a prescription and gave it to Manda.

"Try not to use it when you can\'t use it. Using too much will affect your upgrade speed."

Manda took the prescription and asked, "how much is this?"

"There\'s no need for money. I gave it to you. The quality of Xiangning stone is better than I expected. I don\'t want to take advantage of you. Let\'s take it as a little compensation."

……

Back to the tavern, Manda slept for a while. The guests clamored for lunch. Manda entertained the guests vaguely.

Leo frank, the high deacon of the divine Punisher, also had dinner in the hall. When he saw Manda drowsy, he put down his knife and fork and asked, "your spirit is not very good. Do you need my help?"

Manda yawned, smiled bitterly and said, "how can you help me?"

"If you can\'t sleep because you feel guilty, I\'m willing to pass on the Lord\'s love to you and fill the hole in your heart."

"Thank you for your kindness. I don\'t feel guilty."

"Even if you don\'t want to admit your sin, the Lord can still heal the pain in your heart."

"Thank you, next time." Manda didn\'t want to talk to him again, but the Deacon didn\'t intend to let him go.

"Where are the mother and son who have been helping you?"

Manda took a deep breath: "they\'re gone. They\'re the guests in the store. They just help me do something occasionally and make some change."

"No wonder you are so tired. In order to express my sincerity, I am willing to take over their work without any reward."

"Stop laughing, deacon."

"I\'m not kidding," Leo said, picking up the wine can and coming to a guest. "Do you need a refill?"

The guest was stunned. Looking at Leo\'s neat robes and unusual temperament, he was at a loss for a moment.

Leo stood at the table, smiling all the time. The guest felt a little embarrassed and involuntarily raised his glass and said, "then add another cup."

Manda was stunned and turned to smile. "Well done. I\'ll take a nap. I\'ll give it to you."

Leo had been helping Manda greet the guests all afternoon and put the money neatly in the counter.

At night, Manda woke up. He was about to replace Leo. Suddenly, he felt a palpitation in his heart.

Someone came to the yard and was a believer of the ancient god.

Is worm back? No, it\'s much stronger than worm.

It seems that the count has sent someone again. Is it a lioness or a three headed dog? Manda came to the yard with great anxiety. When he saw the figure, he almost didn\'t sit on the ground.

The judgment was wrong before. It was not the count who sent, but the count himself.

The count stood alone in the middle of the yard, smiling at Manda.

Manda took a deep breath and saluted the count.

The count looked into the hall and whispered, "I heard that your business is good. Even those who punish God have stayed in the tavern. I\'ve come to see. Is it the guy who greets the guests?"

Manda nodded.

"What\'s his name?"

Manda answered truthfully, "his name is Leo Frank. He is the high deacon of the divine Punisher."

"High deacon?" the count was stunned. "Why did he live in the tavern?"

"He suspected that I had killed his friend," Manda continued to tell the truth.

"Did you really kill him?" the count had two more eyes on his face.

This is a fatal question. Since the count asked it, it proves that he already knows it.

"I did kill the punisher, but I don\'t know the relationship between them." Manda said the truth.

"Well, it seems that you are in trouble again," the count did not ask, and he wanted to know other things. "I heard that you have a child living here. Where is he?"

"Moved out today." that\'s the truth.

"Why did you come here? Why did you move away now?"

Manda said silently for a moment: "the tavern has many guests every day. I don\'t know why they come or why they leave. I don\'t dare to ask more, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."

Six eyes appeared on the count\'s face, but he could see no trace of lies in Manda\'s words.

The count smiled and said, "I thought it was worm and a woman who gave birth outside the valley."

Manda nodded. "I think so, too." that\'s the truth.

Instead of asking about the child, the count asked about Manda\'s smell, "why can\'t I smell chimera?"

"I found a way to cover up the smell. It\'s a prescription."

"A prescription?" the count seemed interested. "What kind of prescription?"

"The prescription is in my room. I\'ll show you." Manda didn\'t take the prescription with her, which was too explicit.

"Well," smiled the count, "I was just about to go to your room."
