Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Chapter 144 Platinum’s Turnaround

To put it simply, you are a sinner who wants to atone for your sins, but there is no channel, so you want to rely on this method to sacrifice your life for others to win leniency.

Wuming summarized the information given by Aaron Meyer,

Then you didn't want to take action against the Platinum clan, so you chose to take action against me. Is that what you meant?

Aaron Mayer nodded.

Wuming sighed and lifted his butt off the iron spine: Look at me, who am I?

Aaron Mel climbed up from the ground and looked at Wuming and the flames behind him. He didn't know how to answer. He hesitated and said: Businessman?

That's right, businessman. Wuming said, And I contributed a lot to the construction of Stonewell. It can be said that without me, Stonewell would not have recovered and developed so quickly.

Aaron Mayer looked at the sea of fire around him and nodded: I believe it.

Wuming slapped his breastplate, making a metallic collision sound, and made an impassioned speech:

What does this mean? It means that I am a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who has escaped from vulgar taste...a person who is useful to society! A kind and good person!

The ring finger pointed outside the fire scene: Those Platinum Sons haven't done anything harmful to the world, and they are not bad people. But you, your choice is to choose between the Platinum Sons and me.

Wuming pointed at Tieji fiercely:

Should good people be beaten with swords?

He rushed forward again and pushed Aaron Meier down, swung his riding crop and beat him severely:

The way you atone for your sins is to keep committing crimes? How stupid! A gambler's mentality!

What can I do? Aaron Meyer struggled in the mud. Is there any other way to eliminate sin?

Wuming stopped the riding crop in his hand: What a coincidence, there really is one.

Aaron Mayer also stopped struggling and looked over suddenly:

any solution?

Have you ever heard of the Fate Church? Wuming asked.

I'm a little impressed, Aaron Meyer said.

Father Millie of the Fateful Church is also in charge of atonement. As long as you bathe your body with stars and tears, all your past sins can be written off. Wuming said, Isn't the Golden Dynasty's invasion of Calia bigger than yours? Just take a bath and do the same. No more bullshit.

Stars and teardrops... Aaron Mayer chanted once, then turned and walked towards the sea of fire, I understand.

Wait a minute, what do you know? Wuming quickly stopped him.

Look for the teardrops in the stars. Aaron Meyer said.

Why are you like some faded ones? Wuming said in disgust, You thought I was issuing a mission to you, right? Go and collect a few of them.

Isn't that right? Aaron Meyer said, That's what my boss is like.

Your boss is too inhumane. Wuming shook his head and sighed, Don't look for the Star Teardrops, you can't find them. As far as I know, there are no more than ten of them in the entire border, or they are stored in the demigod level Become a treasure in a powerful court, or have to do archaeological excavations.

Do you have any other ideas? Aaron Meyer asked.

Yes, it's just atonement. Why do you have to use stars and tears? Wuming said solemnly, You are blessed, I tell you, you are fortunate to be the first customer of my atonement business.

You? Aaron Mel's eyes under the iron thorn were full of suspicion.

What? I can't atone for my sins? Wuming stood up and stretched his arms slightly, I don't look like a priest?

Aronmel looked at the nameless armor, the sword at his waist, and the shield behind his back:

Can you really atone for my sins?

No problem. Wuming assured Aaron Mayer, What we businessmen pay attention to when doing business is operating with integrity.

Didn't you say you were a priest?

Don't you mean the same thing? Wuming said.

Aaron Meyer thought for a while:

What's the price?

Of course I won't give you free atonement. If the atonement is so easy, the sinner will not reflect on it. Wuming said, briefly explaining the price of atonement to Aaron Mel, all of which he talked about with Milie. set.

It's very reasonable to quantify sin. Aaron Meyer said, How to quantify it specifically?

Wuming said: Well, it needs to be comprehensively evaluated based on your ability and the crimes you have committed. Let me first tell you what your specialties are.

I'm from Ohe, and I'm good at controlling Qi. Elon Meier said, You have seen it too.

What else? Wuming asked.

I only know this, and I know nothing except killing people. Aaron Meier lowered his head, Maybe I can be your bodyguard to pay for my sins.

Do you think I need you to be my bodyguard? Wuming was not interested. You have to understand that your own ability is only one aspect. You also have to consider the market supply and demand. If the market doesn't need your ability, then you are no longer interested. It’s awesome, but it’s worthless.”

I help you kill people? Aaron Meyer said.

Why is your mind filled with killing, killing, killing? Wuming said, You have to break away from the limitations of your thoughts.

Wuming held his chin, thought for a moment, and then snapped his fingers:

Okay, I'll think of a job for you, it should be suitable for you.

Wuming waved to Aaron Mayer:

Please come over here.

After listening to Wuming's words, Aaron Meyer fell into deep thought:

Are you really asking me to atone for my sins, instead of defrauding me of money?

Absolutely not. Wuming confirmed.

Aaron Meyer struggled for a moment and decided to trust Wu Ming for once.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by Wu Wu again.

Let me ask you something, why do you want to hunt businessmen and teachers? Wuming asked.

I can't reveal my mission. Aaron Meyer didn't want to answer.

The reason why he didn't answer was simple - hedging his bets. He still didn't want to offend Bai Zhi.

Not carrying out Baizhi's mission now would only be considered dereliction of duty. If he took the initiative to reveal the information he knew about Baozhi, it would be betrayal.

Wuming said: I'm not asking you to tell me who your boss is, I'm just asking you to reveal the function of the bell.

The bell hunter thought for a moment:

I don't know the specifics, but I heard that Suzu can conjure the knowledge and items that person possessed during his or her lifetime.

Refining technology? Wuming asked.

I don't understand this.

Okay, keep working hard and strive for early atonement. Wuming said, You succeeded, so I can use you as a positive example to promote it.

Aaron Mayer took off his shield, passed through the flames at low altitude, and left Stonewell.

Wuming also clapped his hands, and the surrounding flames flowed into his palms and disappeared.

Then he walked towards Millicent like no one else:

It's done - yo, King Neferi is here too.

You burned my city to this point, of course I have to be here. Neferi said, What's going on?

Millicent also looked over, wondering why the bell hunter was let go.

Oh, it's okay. I influenced him and asked him to make amends for his sins. Wuming said, Let him help me build it.

No, then why did he run away and what was my loss? Neferi wondered.

Don't worry, your benefits will be indispensable. Wuming promised.

Teacher, why did he attack you? Millicent asked, and release corruption in the city.

Oh, that one used to be a bell hunter who specialized in killing teachers and businessmen. He had many conflicts with me. We knew each other before. I am the one who cut off his previous leg. Wuming said, I will not be corrupt. It’s clear, he was holding another weapon before, and I snatched it away.”

Don't talk about this. Wuming approached Neferi and said, Help me prepare a room that is concealed, safe and luxurious enough.

What do you want to do? Neferi was confused.

We have distinguished guests. Wuming said mysteriously.

Could it be? Nefeli's eyes lit up, and she thought of what Wuming had promised her before.

Especially combined with the fact that the lords all over Ningmu Gefu are causing trouble, this is even more of a timely help.

Exactly. Wuming nodded understandingly.

I'll make arrangements right away. Neferi left.

Only Millicent looked confused:

What's going on?

It's just some business cooperation. Wuming looked at the vegetable leaves and broken eggs scattered around Millicent, What's going on?

He bent down and picked up the rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs with familiarity: What a waste.

People in the city don't like seeing fire and corruption very much, Millicent said.

Then I will light a fire in the city and wait to harvest the vegetables. Wuming was very happy to pick up the vegetables, like an old farmer who was bending down to plant rice seedlings.

Millicent saw that Wuming was having a hard time picking it up, so she also went over to help.

Wuming asked Millicent: I heard that you helped the Platinum Son a lot? And you also learned how to graft limbs?

Yes, I want to be like a teacher and help them. Millicent said, This is the teaching of the sun, isn't it?

Wuming was very pleased: Yes, you listened.

Millicent said: But there are always many difficulties in the plan to attach limbs to the Platinum clan. They have special physiques and cannot find suitable limbs. Ordinary limbs will be rejected by their blood, which is highly toxic to the Platinum Sons. .”

Can't you treat it directly? Wuming asked, What about the treatment method I taught you, is it useful?

It's the same, it's equally harmful to them. Millicent said, I heard that some magicians will use the blood of the Platinum Sons to make props specifically to hinder favors and blessings. Their blood is harmful to the people of gold. Said it was poisonous.

Wuming picked up the vegetable leaves and murmured:

It sounds quite similar to the royal ghosts in the Lake District. The healing prayers are also extremely poisonous to the royal ghosts.

What did you say? Millicent suddenly looked at Wuming.

The ghost of the royal family, haven't you seen it? Wuming said, It has many thieves and thieves, just like a corrupt family member, and it still wears a crown on its head.

Are they similar in nature to the Platinum Sons? Millicent asked.

Yes, a person who studies the Golden Law told me. Wuming said, That guy still owes me money, and he actually ran away. If you see him, don't let him go. He's wearing gold and silver clothes. Armor——Hey, why did you run away too?”

Millicent piled the vegetable leaves aside and left in a hurry: I'm going to find the elder.

You're an unlucky boy, you should pack a bag for me. Wuming shook his head, found a sack, and put all the mess on the ground into it.

==============

Letina was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the vicious dog with the limbs.

Every time she tried to reach out to the vicious dog, she would be greeted with a burst of barking.

Although the vicious dog's mouth has been clamped by the cage, you can still feel the whining sound and the saliva flowing out from between the teeth.

I know you are unhappy. Letina took out a chicken leg, Anyone who is turned into a dog will not be happy. I used to listen to old Mr. Alpas telling stories that those princes and princesses who turned into other creatures always had to Break the spell and become human again.”

She put the chicken legs on the plate and took out a piece of crab roe: But it's not me who turned you into this after all. I want to help you - which one do you like to eat?

The vicious dog still stared at Letina.

Letina faced that terrifying look without any fear: You also know that we are the sons of platinum, a short-lived and sinful race.

Letina ignored the dog's struggle, stepped forward and hugged the dog's neck, whispering in his ear:

In order to continue the race, we are accustomed to doing everything in the interests of the collective, so even if I don't want you, but Mr. Elpas demands so, I have to accept you. We also put the interests of the collective before ourselves, we Nor will I be afraid of death.”

She reached out to the muzzle on the vicious dog's mouth:

I'm going to take off your shackles. You can eat whatever you like. I know what you like, so I can buy it for you in the future. If you think I taste delicious, please feel free to do so.

Letina's last words made the vicious dog hesitate and confused. Taking advantage of his daze, Letina took off the muzzle.

She said: Let me remind you, our blood is most likely poisonous to you, and if you kill me, you won't be able to leave alive. I know you are angry, but don't be impatient and think about my words calmly first. , make your choice again.”

With that said, Letina struggled to leave the side of the vicious dog, came to the opposite side of him, and looked at the vicious dog.

The two sides stared at each other for a long time, and the vicious dog finally restrained its sharp teeth and lowered its head to look at the food.

He mixed a plate of food, stretched out his hands with difficulty, held it and ate it.

It can be seen that he is still trying his best to maintain human habits, but his inhuman body structure makes it painful for him to eat.

You like to eat mutton. Letina smiled, put her hands on the ground, and moved herself towards the vicious dog.

The limbed vicious dog immediately raised its head and stared at Letina warily.

I see it's inconvenient for you to eat, so I'll feed you. Letina answered calmly, still closing the distance between her and the vicious dog without any precautions.

The vicious dog resisted a little and held the plate to protect the food.

Eating with this posture will make you forget the posture you once had as a human being. Letina said, We, the Platinum clan, will also choose to ride wolves after our legs and feet become inflexible. Mr. Elpas said, Only by maintaining the same height and agility as when we were standing can we not forget our healthy days and sink into a disabled state.

The vicious dog hesitated after hearing this, but finally handed over the plate.

I have to say that communicating with you is much easier than communicating with Rob. Letina picked up the plate and spoon and brought the food to the vicious dog's mouth.

I heard that when people are miserable, they feel better when they see the misery of others. Let me tell you about our experiences - Letina was chatting with the vicious dog.

For example, we were born with tainted qualities. We were yelled at and beaten wherever we went, and in the end we had to move to a poisonous pit. You were experimented on and could only walk like a dog, while we were destined to lose our legs at a certain age. It will disappear. They are often subjected to experiments, drained of blood and skinned. When I bought these foods for you, several people threw stones at me.

Letina pushed aside her chainmail and lifted her hair, revealing the scars left by the stone just now, and pale blood oozing from her forehead.

The vicious dog listened quietly, his thoughts drifting underground.

Letina's story reminded him of his own teachings and the origin of the cursed blood.

The great Blood King once experienced exactly the same thing as these Platinum Sons.

Thinking of this, the hostility in the evil dog's eyes softened.

He began to eat quietly to replenish his strength.

Seeing that the vicious dog was honest, Letina happily hugged his neck:

Be good, dear sister, give me a kiss.

Letina rubbed her face against the horrifically deformed body.

I'm not a dog!

The vicious dog was a little agitated and bared its teeth again, biting at Letina as if threatening.

Of course he controlled his strength, it was just a demonstration.
