The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 114
When Millicent expelled those unknown knights who killed indiscriminately, she almost fainted from exhaustion.

Millicent controlled her breathing to make sure she wouldn't lose consciousness.

She was afraid that after she lost consciousness, the corruption in her body would lose the suppression of water and fire and burst out.

Her original intention was to save the village. If the corruption was released because of lack of strength, and another layer of corruption was added to the poison pool that had already stagnated, it would be counterproductive.

She has never seen Gaylide, who is as beautiful as heaven, and the lake area is so beautiful, she does not want to be tarnished.

Millicent's palm ignited a warm flame, healing the wound on her body.

She managed to control her injury, and before she fully recovered, she got up to treat other people in the small village.

The village is almost full of white-haired old people, many of whom were hung on wooden frames, struggling in pain.

Millicent cut the rope with his sword and set them free.

It was only then that Millison noticed that the wounds of these white-haired old men who were whipped and cut with swords did not reveal blood, but a white liquid.

From this point of view, the bloodstains I saw when I came here should be the blood shed by those knights when the villagers resisted.

The rescued old men coughed frantically and trembled to the point of rickets.

After Millicent rescued everyone, the old men with broken legs crawled to Millicent's side and thanked Millicent despite the discomfort in their throats.

"Thank you... thank you..." Many old people choked up.

"You don't need to thank me, anyone who sees it will shoot." Millicent said, "These people are too much, they even broke the old man's legs."

The old men looked at each other and said in a low voice:
"In fact, our legs are not broken. We are the sons of platinum, unblessed artificial life. The flaws of life are always with us, and it is our destiny to disappear."

An old man rolled up his trouser legs to show Millicon—his legs were black and much thinner.It appears that the mercury evaporates over time.

The old man, son of platinum, said:

"Our bodies fade away, legs, limbs, whole bodies."

Millicent remembered what the man in the hatchet mask said, and murmured:

"An inhuman born by mistake..."

The elders laughed wryly when they heard what Millicent said:
"Yeah, so we live in this dark place, without the full moon and the golden tree. You didn't know our identity before, if you think we are filthy, please leave quickly."

"How come, even if it is an inhuman existence, it should have the value of survival—"

Millicent blurted out, trying to comfort the aged Platinum Sons.

But before she finished speaking, Millicent fell silent.

She thought of another group of non-human beings, more deformed species that she regarded as evil.

Of course, she can easily find the difference between the corrupt family member and the son of platinum, so that she can feel at ease.

The Sons of Platinum are a weak and pitiful race, but the bugs are ambitious and eager to rise.

But if I use this reason to convince myself that I feel sorry for the son of Platinum and hate the bug, isn't it just because the son of Platinum didn't resist, and the bug is willing to take actions to resist fiercely?
The two races who were also excluded from the Golden Law, the Sons of Platinum had mutilated limbs, could not stand up, did not dare to resist, and were pitied and helped by themselves.

The bugs had too many hands and feet, they stood upright under the light of the golden tree, they didn't need others to pity them, and they had a mad faith that was tough enough to make Millicent terrified.

Swarms emerge from corruption, at the cost of their lives, to shape a world suitable for them to live in.

Millicent believed her pity for the Platinum Son was out of kindness.But I can recall my attitude towards the two races, whether my so-called kindness is just a kind of condescending arrogance.

Dogs wagging their tails are favored, while vicious ones need to be culled.

Under this kindness, they are only allowed to exist as pet dogs.

Only those who are oppressed and howling are worthy of pity. Once they dare to resist fiercely, will they be annihilated...

Is it because the corrupt dependents understand this truth that they disregard all life, stain everything with corruption, and try to occupy this world?
Just like the golden tree back then.To deal with the enemy, just kill it.

But where do those who are born between the two camps belong?
Millicent caressed the interface of the severed arm, feeling the scarlet corruption in her body.

She was a little confused for a moment and fell into a trance.

This thought made her uneasy, and Millicent subconsciously looked for someone to rely on.

Find that solid pillar.

Millicent thought of Nameless.

What would the teacher think about this problem?

She looked at the flame in her palm, pondering the nameless words and deeds——

He probably won't care about this kind of problem.

The teacher would say that whether it is a corrupt relative, a son of platinum or a golden tree, it burns with the same incense.

Millicent covered her face. It was indeed something Wuming would say, but it was too inhuman, and she couldn't accept it as an answer.

Seeing Millicent's silence, the platinum old man thought she wanted to leave but was embarrassed, so he smiled gently:
"You don't need to care about us, we won't be destroyed, we have transferred most of our people. Didn't you notice that there are almost only old people here? It won't be long before our bodies will evaporate and disappear completely. But the young people are still There's a future, and we've found a place that takes us."

"Really?" Millicent recovered. "That's great—where?"

"The holy tree Abrefel is very far away, but that is our hope." The platinum old man said, "Lord Mikaela is an all-inclusive holy tree, and is willing to open the door for our son of platinum."

"Mikaela's sacred tree..." Millicent muttered the name, and the unfamiliar yet familiar name blurted out, "Pure Golden Law?"

The anxiety dissipated quietly, and a sense of intimacy emerged spontaneously, as if there was a gentle voice that comforted my anxiety since I was a child, describing a beautiful dream.

There, various races are no longer enemies, and they can coexist harmoniously in one place.

Hybrids, Immortals, Corrupted Families, Sons of Platinum... unite together.

That bountiful...beautiful holy tree.

Platinum old man said:

"We don't know the law, but the holy tree is our only hope."

Millicent asked, "When are you leaving?"

Hearing Millicent's question, the platinum elders looked at each other and smiled again:
"As you can see, we are all a group of old guys who won't live long, and the sacred tree is too far away. The limited means of transportation have to be used by young people, and their legs and feet are not convenient."

Millicent could faintly feel the location of the holy tree, which could be said to be on the other side of the border.

Millicent couldn't bear the thought of a group of disabled people going through countless hardships to go on a pilgrimage to the sacred tree.

"Is there really nowhere else to go?" Millicent asked.

Platinum elders said one by one:

"Occasionally, people will come to provide shelter, but it turns out that those are magicians who just tricked the son of platinum into an experimental material."

"I heard that there is a queen in the fog forest of Ningmgfu who looks right, maybe she can accept us?"

"Forget it, many people talk a lot, but when an unblessed existence appears in front of their eyes, they will still think that we are filthy and should not exist."

Millicent heard about the queen again, and was a little curious:
"I occasionally heard about that queen on the way here, did you know it?"

Platinum old man said:

"Don't look at our limited mobility, but we have never missed the news of the shelter - after all, it is related to our future. Not only do we know each other, but we even know each other's names."

"What's it called?" Millicent asked.

"The queen's name is Nefeli, and she rose up in the Hyde Fortress in the fog forest of Ningmgfu to quell the war."

Millicent was stunned: "Nefeli? Nefelilu?"

"you recognize?"

Millicent recalled the experience of the Red Lion City.

Because she released the corruption, she rarely went out to see people, only Nefeli and Roger would enter the room to visit her.

Millicent didn't go out, so she didn't see Nefeli talking with those people wearing tube-shaped coats. Her impression of Nefeli was that she had a big appetite.

"She's a nice person," Millicent said.

Hearing that Millicent really knew each other, the platinum elders became interested and crawled on the ground, surrounding Millicent:

"Then will she reject us sons of platinum who are not favored by the golden law?"

Millicent is a little unsure:

"Shouldn't be repelled, she herself is a fader."

Nefeli herself is a faded person who has lost her blessings, and after she released the corruption, Nefeli did not despise her filth and danger.

Hearing Millicent's high praise, the platinum elders once again had some hope in their hearts.

"Maybe we can send someone to take a look." The people looked at one of the old men, "Mr. Elpas."

The old man looked older, with wrinkled face, pale hair, and more regular clothes.

His body is also more emaciated, the entire calf has disappeared, and only half of the thigh seems to be left.

"Are you the mayor?" Millicent asked.

"Well, it's just a bit of prestige. Time brings knowledge, and people with knowledge will always get more respect. Time has brought me more knowledge, which also means that I am not far away from disappearing." The old platinum old man Ai Al Pach said,

"Thank you, kind man, we will consider going to Nyingmgfo."

"I'm just saying what I know." Millicent said politely.

"You are a distinguished guest of Platinum Village. In order to save us from serious injuries, please be sure to recuperate here for a while." Elpas said, "Although it is shabby, please taste our most luxurious meals."

Millicent didn't refuse either, as her injuries were indeed not healed.

Elpas said: "I also want to introduce our elders to you later."

"Are there any elders in the village?" Millicent was curious. "I thought you were the most prestigious person. Isn't the elder here?"

Elpas laughed twice:

"I'm not smart enough."

He straightened up with difficulty, and patted his mutilated thigh with one hand:
"I still have legs."

========
"Hybrids, Immortals, Corrupted Dependents... and Deadborns."

Lani held the document in one hand and looked at it, while the other looked at Wuming,

"Your employees are too weird."

"This is to show the strength of our store." Wuming said, "How about it, are you full of confidence in our new round table now?"

Wuming is selling their silk to Lani, showing the production and production of silk, the process of the whole industrial chain, and the strong strength of their partners.

He tried to win over the support of the royal family of Calia.

Lani is not interested in the nameless silk, she is even more amazed by the diversity of species in Patch's old shop:
"How do you gather so many races? Don't you fight?"

"What's the matter, they are all the same boss anyway, so they are different." Wuming didn't care, "It smells the same when it burns."

Lani looked at those silk clothes:

"Good, but unfortunately I can't use it."

"It can also be worn with four hands. I will ask Burke to make two more holes for you later."

Lani touched the soft clothes and said: "The power of the demigod is too strong, ordinary clothes will be torn apart in battle. Do you want me to be naked?"

After finishing speaking, the two looked to the side at the same time.

Ratan is naked, and several trees are twisted around his waist.

Noticing that the two were staring at him, Ratan touched Qingliang's forehead.

Although he escaped the torrent of magic by leaning on the iron bridge, he was scratched, and a large part of the lion's thick red mane was chopped off.

Four scars remain.

Wuming turned around with a serious expression on his face:

"It's easier to learn magic when you're naked."

Lani didn't want to pay attention to Wuming's unreasonable trouble, and shouted to Lataen:

"Are you ready?"

Latarn carefully gathered the hair around the middle, and replied:

"No problem, you can start anytime."

"Very good." Wuming rubbed his hands, "The landing point is set on the Wailing Dune. By now, Jie Lian should have cleaned up the Wailing Dune and cordoned off."

"Wait, wait." Lani interrupted Wuming, and looked at the two of them suspiciously, "What is the landing point? Weeping Dune?"

"The landing point of the meteorite." Wuming explained to Lani, "Lataen will use this action to guide the stars and give a push to the stagnant stars. Only then will they begin to circulate."

"I can understand this." Lani said, "What's the matter with the Weeping Sand Dunes?"

"That's a suitable place." Wuming said, "There is no one there, the land is soft to absorb impact, and the surrounding coast can absorb heat. It is also next to Red Lion City, which is convenient for Red Lion to mine and generate income. It's perfect."

Lani said:
"You want to use the stars?"

Wuming nodded: "Otherwise, why would I use your observatory?"

Lani had a bad feeling in her heart, she asked tentatively:

"Then... after the stars resume their circulation, will they still be bound? For example, when a meteorite falls and hits the foggy forest or something."

"Of course we must prevent such a vicious meteorite impact." Wuming patted his chest,

"Don't worry, we pay attention to harmless use. Lataen has already observed the star map, and all untimely meteorites will stop it. The fog forest is the territory of my partner, of course we can't cheat others."

Wuming stretched his right arm horizontally, gave a thumbs up, and made a handsome pose:

"We pay attention to win-win cooperation, and we will never cheat our partners."

Lani threw a magic staff over, twirling and hitting Wuming's helmet, making a tinkling sound.

Lani was furious:
"Then why should I cooperate with you? Only the stars that landed in the fog forest can unravel my fate!"
