Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Millicent led the big wolf, and the young Platinum Son put his arms around the big wolf's neck, and they returned to Platinum Village together.

Everyone in the village knew that Millicent went out to find volunteers for them to conduct experiments, and they were surprised to see that the person Millicent brought back was the Son of Platinum.

The old men of Platinum looked at the Son of Platinum and said hesitantly:

Millicent, we know you have to look for disabled people, but if you find the Platinum Son, there is no need to go out. We old men can all be used as experimental subjects.

Millicent had just returned to the village and was breathless and speechless. After hearing the old people's words, she wanted to explain but was unable to speak due to lack of breath. She could only wave her hands and smiled helplessly for the time being.

But the platinum son spoke:

Old gentlemen, it was this sister who saved me. Bai Ernan's men chased us halfway, and many of our companions died.

Hearing the words of the Platinum Son, the old people were silent.

They said bitterly:

The White-eared Man also attacked here before. If Millicent hadn't come to help, we would have been massacred.

Millicent... The young Platinum Son girl had just heard the platinum old man call Millicent and knew her name.

She held Millicent's one arm gratefully:

Thank you, you are the benefactor of the Platinum clan.

I have a fate with the platinum family. Millicent smiled to calm the nervousness of the platinum girl who had just escaped death, I am Millicent.

My name is Letina. The Platinum Son girl introduced herself, pointing at the big wolf, This is my partner Rob—

The platinum girl who called herself Letina looked at the big wolf, and the introduction was suddenly cut off.

The big wolf had collapsed to the ground at this time, dying.

Three of its limbs were severely injured. The hair on its forelimbs disappeared, exposing charred flesh and blood. The fur on its two hind legs was worn away and it was constantly twitching.

There was also a deep strangulation mark on the wolf's neck, with blood oozing out and making the hair on its chest wet.

Lo-Uncle-! Letina threw herself on the big wolf's belly, causing the big wolf to squeal again.

The old people in Platinum were also very angry when they saw the big wolf's injuries:

Bai Er Man and his men are going to kill them all. It's so bad. Look at these front paws. Are they burned by rockets?

Millicent raised a hand:

I burned that one to prevent the blood from exposing my whereabouts.

The platinum old men were silent for a moment. They found that their anger was vented in the wrong direction, and they were a little discouraged.

After brewing their emotions for a while, they continued to condemn:

The hind legs were caused by Bai Er Man's men torturing you, right?

Millicent turned her face sideways, a little embarrassed to face everyone:

Its legs ran a little slowly. I may have dragged it a few times on the road. This is due to wear and tear.

Don't wolves walk on four legs? The platinum old men were stunned.

My hand is hurt. Millicent pointed to the burn on her front leg.

The platinum old men stopped talking. After a while, they pointed at the scars on the big wolf's neck and looked at Millicent tentatively:

This...couldn't you be the one who hit me?

That's not the case. Millicent waved her hands quickly.

The platinum old men just breathed a sigh of relief. Letina raised her head and wiped away her tears:

I strangled this.

The old people in Platinum Village shrank their necks, wrinkled their faces, and looked at the two girls:

You...rebelled against the Sons of Platinum?

Letina quickly defended:

I just missed...

After her defense reached its limit, Letina seemed to have no intention of explaining. She leaned on the big wolf and mourned for the dying wolf.

Millicent knelt down and placed her warm hands on Letina's shoulders.

Please leave me alone with Rob for a while. I want to be quiet and say goodbye to my partner. Letina wiped her tears with wolf hair.

I was trying to say that maybe I could save it, Millicent said.

Really? Letina looked over quickly.

I know some therapeutic methods. Millicent said, My teacher taught me.

As she spoke, a ball of flame appeared in Millicent's palm. The flame emitted golden fluctuations and continued to smear on the big wolf.

The wounds on the big wolf's body healed quickly, and the light began to return to his eyes.

Rob! Letina hugged the big wolf in surprise.

While hugging the big wolf, Letina also came into contact with the golden fluctuations, and suddenly a burst of black smoke emerged from the skin under her chainmail.

Letina screamed in pain and shrank to the side.

Ah, I'm sorry, Millicent said.

During this time, she followed the elders to learn about the Platinum Son and limb replacement. She already knew that ordinary treatment methods were extremely poisonous to the Platinum Son.

That's why she needs to go outside to find volunteers for the limb grafting experiment, instead of directly asking the Sons of Platinum to perform the limb grafting ceremony.

The ritual used by the Golden Lord may also be fatal to the Platinum Son.

Letina gritted her teeth to hold back the pain:

It's okay, please don't worry about it. I almost killed Rob by mistake before. This is what I deserve.

Millicent looked at the big wolf Robert's injury apologetically: I'm afraid he needs to recuperate for a while. You may not have a mount during this time.

Letina said: It's okay, I'm used to it. When we were young, before we could practice archery, we used to do it like this.

She stayed away from the flames floating in the air and stroked the big furry tail of the big wolf:

Rob, you have to rest by yourself first. I can't accompany you for the time being. I still have a mission...

Millicent looked at Letina's injuries caused by her treatment, remembered her purpose when she left, and apologized to the platinum elders:

Sorry, I didn't find the experimental subject.

Please don't worry, you are here to save Letina. Mr. Elpas climbed out of the crowd and crawled out, And we have found the experimental subject.

Found it? Millicent was surprised. Aren't the village full of elderly people with limited mobility?

Alpas said: There was a disabled man who fainted near the village, and we happened to find him. This person was not the son of platinum, and it perfectly met our expectations.

Really? That's great. Millicent said, I'm going to help the elders conduct experiments.

Letina was stroking Rob's tail. When she heard Millicent say this, she looked up.

The fireball, which was extremely warm to the wolf but extremely poisonous to Letina, lay in the middle, blocking her sight.

Letina frowned.

Elpas said: No need, it has been a few days since we picked up that person. We have completed the limb-repairing experiment under the guidance of the elders, and the experiment is generally going well.

In general? Millicent noticed the subtlety of Elpath's choice of words.

Elpas said: When the man came, his limbs were almost all broken, and only one arm was intact. But it seemed that because he relied entirely on that one hand to move, it was severely worn, and the wound was exposed to rotten water, and almost all the limbs rotted away. . We removed all his limbs and replaced them with limbs cut off from the limb nobles.

Is there a rejection reaction? Millicent asked.

This is a possible hidden danger that the elders guessed when analyzing the limb-repairing ceremony.

Elpas shook his head: All limbs have been replaced successfully. There are no mutations and they can be controlled freely.

That's great. What's wrong? Millicent asked.

Elpas murmured: When I connected the limb, I connected it backwards, so I knocked my knees and rushed backward.

Millicent tilted her head in confusion:

Is this...a dog?

It's not really a dog. A dog's knees are not backwards, but its feet are too long... This is mainly because the limbs of the prosthetic nobles are too deformed——

Elpas explained, thoughtfully:

It may also be because we Platinum Sons usually use wolves to move around and are in close contact with wolves, so we subconsciously chose the shape we are used to...

Elpas looked at Letina:

But just in time, Letina, you have a mount again.

Letina was not so happy. She looked at Elpas with a serious expression:

Mr. Elpas, I want to talk to you.

Okay. Elpas said. He turned back to Millicent and said, By the way, Millicent, you should go see the elder first. He seems to want to tell you about the experience of this limb replacement. You will still be responsible for it in the future. Experimental operation. You have also discovered that it is not very reliable for us to conduct experiments.

Okay. Millicent agreed and walked up the ramp.

After what she learned last time, she now had experience - when someone sent her away like this, they probably had some secrets to tell.

The Platinum clan may have its own secrets within it, and Millicent doesn't mind being viewed as an outsider to be wary of.

She walked to the top, and outside the small black room, she also saw the disabled person who had been experimented with limb replacement by the Platinum Sons.

This man's limbs are indeed very twisted. Saying his knees are pushed back is actually just a description, because the limbs are attached from the body of a nobleman with limbs, and the joints and muscles of many limbs are completely deformed and twisted.

A leg is made from two hands joined together, and a hand is made from several fingers twisted together.

Seeing this appearance, Millicent just felt lucky that she had not promised the elders to give her limbs.

Moving her gaze upward, Millicent discovered that this man's mouth had also been grafted.

The lower jaw was removed and the mouth of an unknown creature was installed. The sharp teeth were intertwined and looked quite ferocious and bloody.

The man was chained, growling and barking ferociously at Millicent, saliva dripping from his sharp teeth.

Millicent frowned.

This was not because of this man's deformity or ferocity. She had seen many deformities and ferocity in Galid.

Millicent frowned as to why this man had been so grafted.

Elpas said that this man's limbs were missing, and the prosthetic limb would be fine, so why did he need to replace his mouth as well? Do you really want to use someone as a mount?

Could it be that this seemingly honest platinum clan is actually quite dark and vicious inside?

Millicent walked into the small dark room with confusion.

==========

The Son of Platinum is a rather ferocious creature.

In Rhea Lucalia Academy, in the Cuckoo Classroom, the pyroxene magicians said so and handed a silver-white cracked pot to Tops.

I know that they are cursed and resent those who are able-bodied. Tops retracted his hand and refused to pick up the cracked pot with silver-white liquid seeping out from the cracks. But it would not be good to directly hunt the Platinum Sons for experiments. . This is arousing conflicts...

It's just a filthy life, what's there to care about? said the pyroxene magician, This is my latest invention - the mercury pot.

The top cover of the cracked pot has the symbol of the golden tree painted on it.

By stimulating the platinum mercury in the pot through the power of the golden tree's grace, the cracked pot will explode violently, blowing the entire pot apart. The mercury will then spread over a large area with the explosion, not only hindering the recovery of the blessing, but also It will continue to erode life.”

The pyroxene mage explained, the blue-green pyroxene eyes on Olivenis' hood shining brightly.

As expected of a Celia magician with Luset as the root, the style of this cracked pot is quite Celia style.

Tops looked at the silver-white liquid oozing out, thinking that it might have been refined from the body of the Son of Platinum, and he didn't want to touch it even more.

Tops smiled reluctantly and said:

I really don't have time...

Are you rejecting us? The pyroxene magician's voice was a little cold.

Tops' heart twitched.

Celia's magicians are very fierce in their folk customs, and they are also the colleagues who are most likely to hurt other magicians. Tops is really afraid that a few pyroxene meteors will suddenly hit them from the opposite side.

Just when Tops was extremely entangled and was about to agree to the request of these colleagues, the fluctuation of magic power appeared, and a figure suddenly appeared in this small room.

A bright blue robe, a large hat with a wide brim, and the movement of stars are painted on the brim and robe.

The standard attire of a magic professor in the academy.

Topps seemed to see the savior and quickly greeted:

Professor! Hello!

The magic professor was lowering his head in deep thought, his face obscured by the brim of his hat.

Hearing Topps' voice, the professor raised his head.

Under the big hat is an iron mask.

The texture of gold threads runs like a snake on the iron mask, forming a fine mesh structure at the mouth opening.

This is a somewhat terrifying mask, naturally also carrying majesty and solemnity.

Tops' heart used to beat loudly when he saw this face, but now that he hadn't seen it for a long time, and he was about to find a professor to confer a crown, he actually felt particularly friendly.

Topps passed through the pyroxene magician and squeezed in front of the professor, looking excited:

Professor, I...I am Tops.

The magic professor was obviously not impressed by this name. He was even more surprised by the bare reflection on Topps' head:

Wearing the robe of an apprentice, but not yet crowned? Is there still such a person in the academy?

The voice sounded that of an old woman.

Tops' excitement was immediately defeated, and he shyly scratched his bald head:

When the college was closed before, I happened to be out, and I finally found the key to come back... Professor, I have not neglected my research outside, and finally achieved results. I came specifically to see you this time to confer a crown.

This is a job I haven't had in a long time. The professor nodded gently, Okay, come with me.

The professor put one hand on Tops's shoulder and the other against the brim of his hat. He rubbed and rotated his fingers on the star track on the brim, and the two of them disappeared into the small room together.

Tsk... Seeing Tops disappear with the professor, the other apprentices in the room snorted coldly and had no choice but to leave the small room.

What kind of hood will he get? A pyroxene magician was chatting with his colleagues.

What else can you get from the waste stone? I don't think you can get anything. The magician holding the mercury pot sneered, If he can get the stone hood, I will wear it upside down.
