Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The bell hunter Ironthorn Ironthorne walks on the streets of Stonewell.

The power of King Neferi attracted many residents to move in, and the people who had suffered from the war were also willing to contribute to the construction of Stonewell and to make a living for themselves in the city.

The enthusiasm in rebuilding the city can be reflected on the outside, where there is a liveliness that is obviously different from other places in the border area.

This was particularly evident when Aaron Meyer returned from the cold Lake District.

Ironmare's hometown is Oher, where people are proficient not in magic or prayer, but in Chi.

Corresponding to this power, the Ohe people also have their own unique perspective on the world.

Looking at this city from the atmosphere and atmosphere, Elonmel can be sure that the king of this city is indeed a virtuous king.

He also heard about the city lord Neferi, who was the adopted daughter of his boss. But neither party has ever met him, and Neferi doesn't even know he exists.

As a death row prisoner, Elonmel was secretly activated by Bai Zhi. Only those old people who often stayed at the Round Table knew of Elon Mayer's existence, such as Granny Enya in the Round Table Hall, and the one who always waited in front of Bai Zhi's study. Eun Ha.

Looking at the bustling Stonewell City, Aaron Meyer was in a trance.

Such excitement has nothing to do with him. He is a prisoner on death row and a sinner, and he will never have the chance to live like this in his whole life.

To be precise, a lifetime is not enough.

Under the leadership of the golden tree, people's lifespans are extremely extended, and their souls are even immortal and can return to the tree for reincarnation.

In this case, the punishment for being entangled with iron thorns is much more serious than the ordinary death penalty.

He will be branded for life after life, exiled to a border tributary, and endure endless hostility.

Momochi gave him hope of pardon. As long as he could become the new King of Elden, he could usher in amnesty and get rid of his status as a sinner.

He wants to work for Bai Zhi and help him become king. He hunts down merchant teachers, collects bells, occasionally does some dirty work for Two Fingers, and gets rid of those faded ones who deviate from the guidance.

But he made repeated mistakes, and it was very difficult to obtain the bell beads. According to his investigation, the most critical basic ore bell beads fell into the hands of an unknown businessman, and he stumbled twice in the hands of that businessman.

It could even be said three times. If his leg hadn't been broken, he might not have made the mistake of letting the Full Moon Queen go at the Magic Academy.

Now only the demigods and the Great Rune can help him prove his ability, win back Baozhi's trust, and win back his promised salvation.

Demigod, Big Rune... Aaron Mel was lost in thought thinking of a solution.

Demigods and big runes are the key to becoming a king, and Baizhi has never given this part of the work to him before. Therefore, his information is quite scarce.

This has nothing to do with his strength, it's just because all matters related to the Great Rune are handled by Momochi's cronies.

In other words, although Bai Zhi released him, he never trusted him as a death row prisoner.

Aaron Mel was lost in thought about demigods when a man suddenly bumped into him.

Ouch. The person who bumped into him screamed in pain as the thorns on the iron thorns scratched his flesh, leaving a slight blood mark.

Here is a construction worker carrying a large basket of stones with another man.

In this collision, the worker was unbalanced and the stone was about to fall on him.

If this is smashed firmly, it will inevitably lead to a fracture.

Aaron Mayer stretched out a hand and firmly caught the basket of stones, with only a few stones shaking out.

Seeing the basket stop in mid-air, the construction worker broke out in a cold sweat and stood up quickly to get out of the way of the stones.

The worker subconsciously bowed to thank Elonmel. As soon as he lowered his head, he noticed the thorns on Elonmel's armor.

The construction workers stood up quickly, picked up the stones and left in a hurry with their companions.

Did you see that, death row prisoner? He must have hit me on purpose just now and wanted to kill me.

Stonwell is not said to be very safe. How can a prisoner on death row sneak in? It's bad luck. Stay away.

In the distance, construction workers were whispering, and their voices were picked up by Aaron Meyer, who was proficient in qigong.

Aaron Mel came back to his senses and looked around.

The prosperity of this city really has nothing to do with him. His sense of alienation from this lively market does not come from his heart, but that there is indeed an invisible circle surrounding him. In this circle, no one is close.

Everyone noticed the iron thorns on his body, consciously distanced themselves, and looked at him warily.

Aaron Mayer disapproved, he was already used to this kind of gaze.

It was also in order to get rid of such eyes one day that he did those things.

Accumulating more sins is not a problem. Anyway, he is already on death row for a serious crime and cannot turn back if he is not accepted by others.

As long as Bai Zhi can be pushed to the throne, all sins can be forgotten.

Elonmeier's eyes became cold, and his cold air made those who were far away from him feel the biting cold.

It was the energy he had condensed from hunting businessmen and teachers in the dark for many years, with the coldness of the night.

Wow, so comfortable.

The girl's voice pierced the cold wind. The girl in the chainmail dress squinted her eyes and took the initiative to approach Aaron Meyer, muttering:

I haven't encountered such wind since I left the snow-capped mountains. Although the wind in Stonewell is also cold, it's still not as good as the snow-capped mountains.

Aaron Mayer knew this girl, Letina, the son of Platinum, who also had both legs disabled. She was sitting in a wheelchair, holding an arm full of food.

Mr. Elonmel. Letina also noticed the bell hunter, wrapping his arms around the pile of food and trying to salute him with his hands.

The Son of Platinum has inconvenient legs, so in addition to kowtow, he always uses his hands to express his salutes, and even formed a unique culture. Aaron Meyer was influenced by what he saw and heard along the way and learned a lot.

Letina held the food in one hand and saluted with the other. The wheelchair lost control and hit a few stones on the ground. It shook and almost knocked over many things.

Letina screamed in surprise and hurriedly tried to protect herself, but a few things still fell.

Aronmel controlled his anger, wrapped the things and put them in Letina's arms.

Thank you, Mr. Aaron Meyer. Letina smiled at Aaron Meyer, You can keep these. I heard they are delicious, so you can try them too. Although Stonewell is not as comfortable as the snow-capped mountains, but The products produced are also much richer.”

Letina looked back at the ground, looking for the reason for losing control of the wheelchair.

She saw the stones on the ground and complained:

Who is so unethical and throwing stones on the ground?

I threw it. Aaron Meyer replied.

Ah... Letina was a little embarrassed, That's okay. Mr. Aaron Mayer is a good person and very civic-minded - but I can't give you this food, lest you seem to be blackmailing me.

Aaron Mayer looked at Letina's arms full of things: Buying for the Platinum Clan?

No. Letina shook her head, This is for my dog.

Letina said: He is a human being after all, and he can't speak now. I want to buy a few more things to see what he likes to eat.

I heard that he was a sinner, so he would be picked up. Aaron Meyer said, You are very kind to sinners.

Letina was a little confused. In her impression, Aaron Mayer was a silent and powerful person. This was not like what he would say.

She looked around and saw the same eyes around her, understood, and smiled:

Half of the disgusted looks around me are probably directed at me. The Platinum clan was born from blasphemous rituals. According to the standards of the Golden Tree, we are born guilty - but how can people deny their own essence? To be willing to admit one’s own existence is sin.”

Letina was a little sad:

So we weak and born sinners are very afraid of loneliness. For us, loneliness often means death. You can see groups of Platinum Sons everywhere. Only by staying together can we survive, so we are particularly sensitive to loneliness. .”

She clapped the food in her hands:

I didn't want to ride on the man with the limb, but Mr. Elpas convinced me. He is the most respected man in the village and the wisest man - he asked me to accompany the sinner, saying that he could become a man by himself. Inhuman existence is very lonely. I softened my heart as soon as I heard it.

Aaron Mayer listened quietly without saying a word.

Seeing his silent look, Letina said:

Mr. Aaron Meyer must be very powerful.

What? Aaron Mayer didn't respond.

Sinners are afraid of being alone. Letina said, But Mr. Aaron Mayer always walks alone. You have the courage and strength to bear your sins alone.

Aaron Mayer remained silent, not knowing how to answer.

I'm leaving first, the dog is hungry. Letina said, We will invite you to our new home after we have settled in.

Letina held the food in one hand and struggled to turn the wheelchair with her other hand to move herself.

Aaron Meyer stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair:

I send you.

Letina raised her head and smiled at the tall bell hunter: Thank you.

===========

Aronmel sent Letina back to the camp of the Platinum Sons and returned to the streets of Stonewell, looking for traces and information of the demigods and the Great Rune.

Big cities are full of people and there are always clues to be found.

He is like a silent hound, persistently searching for clues.

His status as a death row prisoner also provided him with some conveniences. Those who were not afraid of his iron spines often had contact with the gray underground intelligence network. Can provide a lot of secret information.

He collected announcements related to the full moon in the city, rumors that King Neferi had obtained the Great Rune, and the resurrected Latarn...all kinds of rumors were collected by him.

It's a pity that these are messages that either he has already tried, or it's not his turn, or he can't win.

The real breakthrough has yet to appear.

While he was searching, a man stood in front of him.

Anyone who approaches him without any reason will easily attract his attention.

This time he noticed the person approaching him, but was rather surprised.

Eun-ha, the person who is inseparable from Baek-chi, actually appears in Stonewell.

Sir Bai Zhi came to Stonewell to see her daughter?

Aaron Mel looked around, but did not see Baozhi.

The clinging hand bone on Enxia's arm popped out, and he poked Aaron Mayer with the joint of the hand bone.

Aaron Mel looked at Eun Xia.

Enxia took out a small notebook and wrote quickly:

Sir Bai Zhi is not here. I was sent to perform a mission.

Aaron Meyer frowned as he looked at that word:

You can't speak?

Another round of writing——

meeting.

Aaron Meyer was silent for a moment, no longer entangled:

What's up?

Enxia turned the pages of her notebook:

There is a task for you, related to demigods. If you can complete it, Sir Bai Zhi will be very happy.

You are a close confidant, why did you choose me? Aaron Mayer asked.

You are more suitable. Eun Xia wrote.

As if he had thought of something, he added another page: And we are fellow villagers. We all work in other places and work for the boss. Our fellow villagers should help us more.

Okay, what's the mission? Aaron Mel asked no more questions, rubbing his sword on his waist.

This is a rare opportunity.

Enxia grabbed the small notebook again, wrote hard, finished it, and showed it to Aaron Meyer.

Aaron Mayer looked at the note and his pupils suddenly shrank.

The words written on the book are - Platinum Village.

Crimson aura spread from Enxia's hands, and several pens were unsheathed at the same time, dancing wildly on the notebook:

The Platinum Clan has a talisman to go to the Holy Tree, which is related to the extremely pure gold, the Holy Tree Mikaela. The Platinum Clan was favored by Mikaela and was given a talisman that allowed them to go to the Holy Tree. And the Sons of Platinum are very Weiwei, this task is not difficult for you - now you know why you are suitable.

Aaron Mayer said solemnly: Don't you know that Platinum Village is kind to me?

How do people like you still care about this?

The words in the notebook made Aaron Meyer silent.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Enxia wrote another sentence and asked tentatively:

Do I need to pay more?

Aaron Mayer was silent for a moment, then turned and left.

On the way, the sentence in the notebook flashed in Aaron Meyer's mind.

This ordinary sentence is the most eye-catching and impressive thing in that old book.

Yes, he is a sinner, a prisoner on death row. There should be no lower limit for sinners, so why should we care about this?

He really shouldn't care about this.

As long as he completes the task and helps Sir Bai Zhi obtain more big runes, no matter how many sins he commits, he can be forgiven.

This can also be regarded as a necessary sacrifice on the road to becoming a king. How can a king show his strength without bleeding?

Aaron Mel persuaded himself in this way and returned to the camp in Platinum Village. His hand rested on the bayonet and trembled slightly.

When the platinum old men saw Aaron Mel coming back, they all smiled at him:

Mr. Aaron Meyer, you are back. Are the limbs on your hands still suitable?

Mr. Elpas noticed something was wrong with Aaron Mayer and said with concern:

Your hands seem to be shaking a little. Are you experiencing rejection? If your hands feel uncomfortable, you must tell the elders as soon as possible. We can adjust it for you.

It's okay. Aaron Meyer said, turned and left.

He still didn't take action.

The Holy Tree Symbol, a gift from the god Michaela.

The Platinum Clan was the only one who accepted and helped him, a sinner.

It was really difficult for him to take away the talisman from the Platinum clan.

Aaron Meyer struggled like this for a few days, constantly fighting with his thoughts, weighing the pros and cons, whether to help Bai Zhi or give up atonement.

Faced with this choice, Aaron Mayer felt that he would rather face Latan and steal his big rune.

Whenever there are other options available, he will escape from this heartbreaking decision and live in this trance and entanglement, which is more painful than being a sinner.

Then one day, he saw Wuming.

Is this why you attacked me?

Wuming sat on Elon Mayer's back and picked up a riding crop to slap Elon Mayer on the butt.

You said that if you still had that big sword, I would have to work harder. Wuming said as he drew it, Take a small broken stabbing sword and play with Corruption. Will that thing be useful to me? All Corruption's followers are My partner, you can use the same power as them at any level.

Wuming pointed around:

Look at you, it's all over the place, what does it look like? It's nothing to do with corruption, but what if it hurts people? Even if it doesn't hurt anyone, it's wrong to infect those flowers and plants...

Centered on Wuming and Alonmel, the area with a radius of thirty meters was in a mess and completely deserted.

With the two people at the center, it is full of traces of battle, either corruption or flames.

Corruption probably accounts for 15% of this.

Look at what this great Stone City has done to you. Wuming cried out sadly, What kind of land is this? The ancient capital of the three dynasties! I'll tell you if you're guilty!

The Jungle 2 will be released tomorrow. Let’s take a look at the Jungle generation. The exploration experience is very soulful. It’s a horror game but with multiplayer. The combination of open sandbox gameplay and exploration gameplay is very good, and it is the best solution for exploration in an open world in my mind. After all, there is no way Huanzhou can pile up materials so that the entire experience will not be repetitive.

It's the first anniversary of the day after tomorrow, and I don't know if there will be any news about DLC. wodlcne!
