The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 128

The teleportation arrays in the Lake District and Ailey Church were established, and more and more employees began to freely travel between the two places.

Anonymous scheduling is also more convenient.

Work was quickly arranged for the employees.

The workers who were originally in charge of the construction of the Church of Eyre were sent by him to the entrance well of the Shifra River in the Wulin.

The Entrance Well is a massive wellhead that descends into an underground riverbed and is one of the entrances to the Eternal City.

What Lani wants to get is the secret treasure there.

But going down the entrance well cannot reach the Eternal City that Lani wants to go to.

The underground environment is complex and there are many faults. Even if some places can be seen with the naked eye, there is a natural moat that cannot pass through them.

Lani's previous idea was to invalidate Lataen's gravity magic, let the meteorite fall above the Eternal City, directly leak the sky of the dungeon, and enter from above.

Wuming is not so violent. He plans to use gravity magic to collect gravity stones from Selia, and rely on the help of Rataen to build a floating bridge to communicate between the two places.

He arranged for the workers to survey and select the site, and the construction could start after the gravity stone on Selia's side was mined.

In addition to miners and construction workers, a large number of immortals also need to be arranged.

With the portal, the long-lived people can finally stay at home without doing nothing, watching the endless ashes.

There is still considerable vitality in the lake area, as well as a variety of new animals and plants, which are urgently needed to be collected.

There are many dung beetles here, and there are also many turtles.

Wuming received the news from the immortals. Hearing that there were still tortoises, he was overjoyed and ordered a large number of hunting.

The matchmaker business that Wuming envisioned was always shelved due to insufficient turtle neck meat. The large number of turtles in the lake area gave him hope to restart the business.

However, this hope was broken by the dangerous environment of the Lake District.

There are ghosts and ghosts here, and fierce lobsters and crabs, but these things coincide with the turtle's living territory, and the immortals came back with wounds all over their bodies.

Even if the demihumans and Kaidan mercenaries were sent to hunt the guards, the effect was not very good.

Those ghosts with crowns are quite fierce. They will dive into the bottom of the water to ambush and spit poison. They have many hands and feet, and they are extremely fierce when they attack.

There are also little attendants who are ringing bells and throwing ghosts at the mercenaries.

The mining work in the lake area can be said to be difficult and difficult.

Nameless sat on the soil bag, staring at D buried in the soil:

"Is there anything you can do?"

D relieved his brain concussion from being shot by Wuming, understood Wuming's words, and said in a muffled voice:

"You let me out first."

Wuming immediately called Kaidan's mercenaries, dug up the soil bag, and helped D out.

D shook off Kaidan's mercenary's hand, dusted himself off, and looked at Wuming coldly.

"Don't hold on." Wuming said, "Did the armor also get soiled? Isn't it uncomfortable?"

D stood in a stalemate with Wuming for a while, and finally gave up his reserve, no longer maintained a dignified and solemn attitude, jumped up unsteadily, took off his leg armor, and poured out the soil that had entered the armor along the opening.

"Do you want to take another bath?" Wuming asked D kindly.

"No need." D said, "You want to deal with the royal ghost? That's why you let me out?"

"It's just one of the reasons." Nameless said, "These don't seem to be dead, do you have a solution?"

D said, "Royal ghosts are not dead birthers."

"Aren't those born from death the dead-born?" Wuming asked.

"In the definition of the Golden Law, no." D insisted on his laws and dogma.

"Oh..." Wuming waved to the Kaidan mercenary thoughtfully, "Bury it, bury it."

"Wait." D stepped back again and again, "But I know how to deal with royal ghosts."

"Say it earlier." Wuming immediately smiled again, "How to deal with it? It's best to be economical."

"The ghosts of the royal family were not born from the golden law system, but the products of Kalia's side." D said, "They are similar to the sons of platinum, and they are mutually exclusive with blessings. You can solve them with healing prayers."

"How to solve the treatment?" Wuming didn't understand.

"Healing prayers for the people of gold are highly poisonous to ghosts and can cause a lot of damage." D said, "One priesthood can solve ghosts."

"It's really economical." Wuming's eyes lit up.

Wuming felt that it was much more economical to solve it with spells than with consumables.

D sneered, mocking him:

"Do your subordinates have priesthood?"

D follows Wuming's convoy, and has seen Wuming's various subordinates for a long time.

What a collection of profanity, staff of all kinds.

But there are no normal people, let alone priests.

This caravan is simply a large collection of pagans, which perfectly fits D's imagination of merchants as a group.

"Then will you?" Wuming asked.

D proudly said: "Of course I will, I just don't have to—"

"Very well, I have already decided that it is up to you to complete this arduous task." Nameless said.

D was stunned: "Didn't you say to let me go?"

"Didn't you just want to leave?"

Seeing that D was silent, Wuming comforted him:
"Don't worry, I'm a very fair person. If you give me a job, I'll give you a salary. Don't you like blessings very much? Luen, it's blessings."

"I--"

D still wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Wuming ruthlessly:

"Okay, now to the second question - what is a sinner?"

"I think you are the sinner," D said.

"Don't make trouble, be serious." Wuming said, "I dug you out for this matter—in the golden law, how do you define a sinner? How do you deal with sinners, how do you punish them, and how do you forgive them?"

Seeing Wuming's earnest and eager to learn, D was a little unsure.

Does this guy really want to be a golden rule fundamentalist?Is it our comrades?Otherwise why would he want to know about this?
D asked Nameless: "Why do you want to know these things?"

Wuming replied with some hesitation: "...my cook is a sinner. I heard him talk about some things in prison."

"So?" D asked.

Nameless glared at him:
"It's useless to ask less, business secrets!"

D had no choice but to tell Wuming about it.

From serious crimes under the golden law to misdemeanors, to the punishment of sinners, and the method of atonement.

Nameless listened and took notes:

"It turns out that sinners will be entangled by thorns."

D nodded: "The thorns are the proof of the sinner. The neck of the misdemeanor will be worn with spiked branches, and the death row prisoner of the felony will be wrapped with rusty iron thorns.

"Some serious sinners will have their eyes pierced by sinful thorns. As a result, sinners find new faith after their eyes are bathed in blood. They are indeed incurable."

"Rusty iron thorn..." Wuming thought of the bell hunter who repeatedly attacked him.

That guy had that thorn in him.

D saw Wuming's little book full of memories, and couldn't help asking again:
"You know this, what exactly are you doing?"

"Business secrets." Wuming clasped the small book, as if the contents told to him by D himself were some kind of secret, and put it away carefully.

Nameless waved D off:

"Now it's time for you to clean up the Lake District."

D glanced at Nameless, turned and walked into the mist.

==========
Millicent walked in the mist of the Lake District.

She is helping the limb-attaching experiment in Platinum Village to find test subjects.

Of course, she would never do it if she was asked to kidnap healthy people and cut off their hands and feet—she was looking for volunteers.

In this turbulent era, many people lack arms and legs.

Especially the lake area is very dangerous. When ordinary people encounter lobsters or royal ghosts, those who survive must leave something behind.

The only problem was that Millicent couldn't defeat these monsters by herself, so she walked on thin ice when searching.

For her own sake, she would not go to the lake area, but in order to save others, she would give up part of her safety.

With a sense of empathy and responsibility, Millicent walked all the way to the center of the Lake District.

There are more broken walls and ruins here, many flooded ruins, and broken bridge wreckage.

This is a good thing for Millicent, as long as she walks close to the edge, she doesn't have to worry about being pierced by a water cannon from a long distance from the lobster.

She met a group of frog-like people here, with stooped bodies, swollen heads, bulging eyes, and silver body.

These frogs were silent, holding various weapons, and patrolling around something.

Millicent noticed, among the frogs, a woman in silver chain mail lying on the ground.

Some frogmen crawled beside the woman and touched the woman, but they never got a response.

Millicent stood up and didn't hide her figure anymore.

When the frogs saw Millicent, they were on alert immediately, and their weapons were aimed at her.

Millicent raised her only hand in greeting.

It was the legs of these frogs that prompted her to stand up.

She noticed that some of the frogs' legs, which had been blackened, combined with a pale complexion, were much like those she had seen in Platinum Village.

"Are you the Sons of Platinum?" Millicent asked.

The frogs didn't seem to be able to speak, but they could understand Millicent's words. They hesitated for a moment, looked at Millicent's severed arm, put down their weapons, and backed away slowly.

Millicent observed the big-headed frogs. Judging from their reactions, it seemed that they relaxed their vigilance when they noticed their severed arms.

Millicent stopped thinking about it and stepped forward to check on the woman lying in the water.

Women are dead.

Millicent hadn't seen the red blood before, so she thought it might be rescued, but when she got closer, she realized that the woman was also a child of platinum. The pale white blood blurred on the water below her body, became transparent, and then disappeared completely.

"Is this what Mr. Alpass said, the young son of Platinum?" Millison murmured, stroking the lifeless face of the young woman, the red hair falling on the pale face.

A very cold feeling came from the fingertips.

This temperature is much cooler than the lake water in the Lake District.

Millicent moved her fingertips down the icy place, and took out a flower from Platinum Son's arms.

A shoot, to be exact, like the bloodwood shoots that once grew around the Church of Corruption.

The whole body of this wood bud is pure white, like an ice sculpture.

Ice Crystal Wood Sprout, the name appeared in Millicent's mind.

Not only did Millicent know the name of the plant, but she also knew where the buds abounded—the northern snowfields—and where she was headed.

I heard from the old Mr. Elpas that the young son of Platinum went to that place.

This is back?Millicent thought.

But why did he die here?

Millicent turned the young Platinum Son's body, searching for her wounds and cause of death.

Suddenly, she froze.

There was a tiny wound on Platinum Son's body. The wound was neither deep nor vital, but there was a tinge of scarlet on the wound.

Millicent suddenly withdrew her fingertips and stared at the corpse.

She froze for a while, then stretched out her hand towards the corpse, and a flame ignited in her hand, completely cremating the Platinum Son.

Millicent got up, doubts lingering on her brow.

A son of platinum who came back from the snow field, died of scarlet corruption?

Millicent tried to ask the silent big-headed frogs, but was unable to communicate effectively.

She had no choice but to return to Platinum Village first and tell the sons of Platinum the news.

Millicent didn't go far, and found the shallow water under her feet, with ripples trembling frequently.

"The frequency of this ripple..."

The ripples are rather chaotic, with uneven density and intensity.

Millicent judged that these were not traces caused by giant beasts such as lobsters and crabs, nor were they like the ripples that royal ghosts could create.

It's more like there are large armies fighting.

Millicent walked in the direction of the ripples.

Where there is fighting, there are bound to be wounded and maimed people.She can find volunteers by the way.

More importantly, after seeing the dead body of Platinum Son, Millicent had disturbing thoughts.

Through the transmission direction of the water pattern, Millicent judged that the large army was moving very fast.

She calculated the speed, and directly blocked the path that the opponent would pass by.

In order to hurry, Millicent no longer hid her figure, her slender legs exploded with astonishing strength, setting off waves of water on the ground.

The loud noise alarmed many monsters, and while she dodged the dangerous lobster water cannon, she started a race with the cancer and the ghost of the royal family.

When Millicent finally saw the two sides in the battle, her pupils shrank suddenly.

Uneasy thoughts were confirmed.

A son of platinum was riding a big wolf, throwing off a large number of cavalry behind him.

This Platinum Son was similar to the dead Platinum Son, wearing silver and white chain mail, a pale silver dress, holding a bow and arrow, and constantly firing magic arrows backwards to thwart the pursuit.

The cavalry in the rear were not to be outdone, and concentrated arrows fell around the big wolf. Occasionally, the arrows hit the wolf, causing the wolf to howl.

The knight chasing soldiers behind were the group of people who attacked Baijin Village before.The armor they wear has eye badges.

Millicent no longer hesitated, inserted between the two sides, and flung the flames away, disturbing the sight of the cavalry.

The flames were too scattered and not powerful enough, and the eyes of the horses were covered with cloth. The knights were not hindered, and directly broke through the line of fire.

Without hesitation, the cavalry allocated half of their arrows to kill Millicent.

Millicent was naturally not afraid of arrows.

She raised the wall of fire, burned through the curtain of arrows, rushed out of the rain of arrows, and rushed in one direction.

This pounce was not to dodge the arrows.

The fire curtain just now was not for killing.

The ferocious water cannon pierced through layers of people and shot at the position where Millicent was just now. The ghost of the royal family and the crab also arrived and collided with this group of people.

The cavalry were caught off guard and were beaten up by these fierce beasts in the lake area.

Millicent turned around and ran to the side of the wolf, and grabbed the platinum son's wrist on the wolf's back:

"Walk."

The son of Platinum was still a little at a loss for the sudden reinforcements, and subconsciously looked down at the giant wolf under his crotch:
"my buddy……"

Millicent took a look, and saw that the giant wolf's front paw had been pierced by an arrow, and the wound was torn open with every step, blood flowing.

Even if he could escape like this, the pursuers would follow the bloodstains to find him.

There is no other way but to...

Millicent grabbed the wolf's wrist and made it stand up:

"Walk."

"Huh?" The Platinum Son was stunned.

The platinum son on the wolf is directly at a ninety-degree angle to the ground, which cannot be fixed by the sudden gravity.

The son of platinum had no strength in his feet and almost fell off the wolf's back. He quickly grabbed the bow and arrow, strangled the wolf's neck with the bowstring, and hung himself.

"Ouch-"

The giant wolf let out a long howl, not sure if it was hurt by the bowstring, or because the two short legs were too tired to move back and forth.

Just like this, the giant wolf ran quickly on two legs under the guidance of Millicent, leaving the chaotic scene.
