Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Elder, why did you have to add that person's limbs to look like that? Isn't it a bit too much?

In the small dark room, Millicent looked at the broken figure in the shadow and asked her doubts.

Do you think it would be too cruel to attach a limb to that man's mouth? the elder replied calmly.

I see no need for that, said Millicent.

Did Elpas tell you that when that man came, he only had one hand and all other limbs were damaged? the elder said.

Millicent nodded.

He could only crawl with one hand through the poisonous swamp. Not only were the wounds on his limbs severely infected, but his stomach had long been filled with rotten water. Every step he took while crawling in the poisonous swamp was like drinking water. Some rotten water. His mouth has long been rotten.

What the elder said was reasonable and well-founded.

Millicent asked: Can't you put a human mouth on him?

Do we have any? the elder asked.

The noble with the limbs... Millicent said softer and softer, there should still be a mouth...

She is a little unsure.

The mouth, including one arm, is the original part of the prosthetic nobleman, and is very beautiful.

This does not completely overlap with the field of limb replacement, and it is not certain whether the mouth of the limb-joining noble will remain intact after so many days. And the child was really good-looking. To be honest, Millicent couldn't bear it, even if it was a corpse.

Has the original body of the limbed noble rotted? Millicent asked.

No, the elder replied, Actually, this has nothing to do with the technical issues of limb replacement.

What's that for?

Because he is not a good person. The elder replied.

Millicent didn't expect this answer. She hesitated: Who is he?

I don't know who he is, the elder said, but he is from the Blood Dynasty, and his forehead says it all.

Millicent recalled the mark on the forehead of the man who had been transformed into a dog.

As the man barked at himself, his messy hair spread out, revealing the mark on his forehead.

A bloody trident, Millicent said.

That is the symbol of the Blood Dynasty. The elder said, He is the minion of the Blood Dynasty.

Why do you know this? Millicent was curious.

The Blood Dynasty captured many Platinum Sons and conducted experiments on them. The elder said, Just like what we are doing now.

Millicent was silent, she didn't expect things to be like this.

Although he is a bad person, the situation of the person outside is really too miserable, and Millicent doesn't know how to evaluate it.

The elder said: Yes, this is revenge. It is not noble. We know this, but we still do it.

Seeing Millicent's silence, the elder said:

This is the grudge between the Platinum Clan and the Blood Dynasty. I know that you have no grudges against the Blood Dynasty. I didn't want to dirty your hands, so I asked other Platinum Sons to help me complete the experiment without waiting for you.

Millicent shook her head and thought no more:

What was the result of the experiment?

The elder said: It is basically in line with expectations. There is no rejection reaction. Even if it is not limited to limbs but also a mouth, there are no fatal reactions.

That's a good thing after all... Millicent murmured.

But this is just the beginning. The elder said, The structure of the Platinum Son is completely different from that of ordinary people. The next experiment will still be extremely dangerous.

Millicent nodded: I will assist you next, I hope there will be no mistakes.

While the two were talking, a sudden sound broke through the air, and several arrows slanted into the door panel.

Millicent turned around nervously, thinking that an enemy was coming, and rushed out of the house.

But the enemy did not appear, only Letina was at the bottom of the slope, kneeling on the ground, waving to Millicent. Elpache is also with Letina.

Is something wrong? Millicent first informed the elder that she was safe, and then went downhill.

When passing by that human-looking thing, Millicent glanced over her head unbearably.

Millicent rushed to Letina:

what's going on?

Elpas' voice was a little anxious:

I'm afraid, we can't stay here anymore. We need to move.

Letina nodded:

Sister Millicent, you also saw that we were besieged by white-eared men in the Lake District.

Who are those people and why are they chasing you so hard? Millicent asked.

Those are Sir Momochi's men. Elpas replied, He is eyeing an important treasure of our clan.

Things more important than life. Letina said, They have harassed the Sons of Platinum before, but for some reason, this time Momochi's troops in the lake area have more than doubled, and there are some masters among them. It's hard for us to We resisted, but were defeated, and many sisters died on the way back.”

Letina bit her lip:

I originally wanted to take some old people to the snowfield this time, but I didn't expect...

Then...what should you do? Millicent asked.

Elpas was determined:

Originally, many people in our village were still resentful, but now it seems that we have no choice - go to Storm City, that is the only place we can go.

Letina nodded: I heard, sister Millicent, do you know the new city lord in the city?

Millicent nodded: Now, it should be the new city lord.

She learned limb-repairing techniques from the elders, and had already heard the relevant news when she went out to look for limb-repairing volunteers.

Neferi has taken over Stonewell and become the new king of Nimgofo.

I hope you can help us. Elpas kowtowed to Millicent.

The Platinum Son, who had spent most of his life kneeling on the ground, could only kowtow to show further respect.

This is my suggestion. Please help me until the end. Millicent quickly helped Elpache up. I will go to Stonewell right now to ask Nefeli's opinion and ask him to accept you.

Alpas said: Thank you, no matter what, we can't stay here anymore. Our whole village will pack up our things immediately and prepare to move.

If Neferi agrees, she should send people to help. Millicent said.

She didn't waste much time and set off immediately, heading straight for Stonewell.

========

In the round table hall, Baizhi held a piece of paper and wrote and drew.

Queen of the Full Moon, Lenora.

Neferi may have mastery of the Great Rune.

The Platinum clan holds the Holy Tree Talisman, the key to the Holy Tree, and the traces of the god-man Michaela.

The mysterious god-man who caused the solar eclipse.

After writing this, Baizhi rubbed his eyebrows:

When did the Lake District have so many clues about demigods and big runes? It seems that we need to send twice as many troops to investigate.

He left the table and fiddled with a magic circle in the room.

A moment later, the virtual image of Enxia wearing skeletal armor, who had been standing at the door of his study, appeared above the magic circle.

Kalia's technology is really exquisite. Baizhi looked at Enxia's figure, You must monitor Nefeli in Stonewell. If there is any change or information in the city, you must report to me.
