Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Ever since Neferi restarted the arena, the Golden People have become more and more powerful, and they were often looking for trouble with the Platinum Sons.

But the situation was never serious. The Platinum Sons stayed in their own neighborhoods and did not go out. The Platinum Sons who occasionally looked for trouble would be kicked out by the Platinum Sons holding the Cracked Pyroxene, so nothing serious happened.

Things were different this time. Being so provoked by the lords, new and old grudges were settled, and the golden people began to pour into the neighborhood of the Sons of Platinum in large numbers.

The power that came to the Platinum Sons neighborhood this time was beyond the imagination of the Platinum Sons, and several Platinum Sons were killed and injured in one encounter. The Son of Platinum also activated the magic trap that had not been activated before in anger.

Magical ballistae fell from the sky, bombarding everything around them, blowing the golden people into pieces.

Facing the powerful trap, some fanatical people calmed down and finally stopped. But some people became even crazier and rushed to Platinum's neighborhood without fear of death.

Magical shells spurted out again, blasting towards the golden people who continued to charge.

But the moment the cannonball hit them, a transparent bubble flashed past.

The golden people rushed out from the magic fire and jumped on the platinum people.

The Platinum Sons were caught off guard and were knocked to the ground one after another. Their soft and fragile bodies were pressed by several people and soon burst and broke.

In the chaotic scene, both sides were no longer restrained, and bright red and pale blood flowed.

The Golden People gradually penetrated deeper into the neighborhood, and the obstacles and attacks they encountered became more and more fierce.

=========

Platinum Sons Neighborhood Center.

Home of the Court of Elders.

Since the vicious dog with the attached limb attacked the elder, the defense here has increased a lot.

But Fan Lei, the culprit, is still next to the elder, and has always been by his side.

His original job at the construction site was cancelled, he no longer had to undergo torture, and after being restrained by Letina, he no longer tried to kill the bastard hiding in the shadows.

Even if he had the murderous intention, it would be difficult to kill him. Letina stayed by the elder's side, and Millicent often came here as a guest - like now.

Millicent's arrival was requested by the elder. The elder was not in good health during this period and hoped to adjust Letina's arm to perfection as soon as possible.

The day Letina's arm returns to normal is when the next phase of the experiment begins.

Millicent moved a chair and sat across from the elder in front of the wooden house to exchange limb grafting techniques.

The sound of gunfire came from afar, interrupting the conversation between the two.

What's going on? The elder's old voice came from the wooden house.

The Golden People are attacking, Millicent said.

Do you want to help? the elder asked.

No need, the defensive magic circle is powerful enough. Millicent said, Neferi should be here soon, she can handle it.

Neferi... the elder pondered, What kind of person is she?

She is a good person. Millicent said, She is the only good person who is willing to accept the Son of Platinum. She was also willing to accept me in the Red Lion City. I heard that some people said that she had colluded with the corrupt family because she had been to Galid. , she didn’t kill the person who spread the rumors. She is a very kind and good person, and she can definitely be a wise king.

A kind and good person... The elder was silent for a moment, Millicent, you probably don't think I am a good person.

Why do you ask that? Millicent was surprised.

I got involved in limb grafting technology and turned sinners into deformities. I should be a sinner in your eyes. The elder laughed, and then coughed twice.

Millicent looked at the deformed Van Lei lying next to Letina, thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

My teacher told me this - power is power. Power does not distinguish between good and evil, but depends on where it is used.

Millicent's eyes shifted from Fan Lei to Letina:

I don't fully agree with you, teacher. I also think what you did is a bit too much...but teacher has a point. Look at Letina, your skills have yielded good results.

Your teacher...that businessman? the elder asked, So, your teacher is also a good person?

This time Millicent hesitated and said slowly:

Teachers do not seem like good people sometimes, but that's just not the case.

The elder laughed and said, It seems that you like your teacher very much.

Millicent blushed a little: My teacher saved me, he saved me. Of course I must be grateful to my benefactor.

You are right. The elder agreed, You must know how to repay your kindness to your benefactor.

The sound of wind and thunder streaked across the sky, and the artillery fire in the distance gradually stopped.

It looks like Neferi is here, Millicent said.

The elder was silent for a moment:

Lord Nefeli...she seems to be having a hard time recently.

Yeah, there are a lot of rumors in the city. Millicent said, She is obviously good to the residents wholeheartedly, but she is often misunderstood. The expedition team was formed out of good intentions, but just because it failed, everyone spread their grievances. She was killed—it was obviously someone killed by the lords. Those lords also used Grek as an excuse, saying she was unorthodox.

The elder said: Millicent, tell me, if you do bad things with good intentions - like Neferi, or do bad things for good intentions - for example, one day you have to receive a limb, what do you think about it?

Millicent thought for a while: This problem is too complicated, I don't know.

She said seriously: I only know that I help you kill the invaders, I am willing to help Neferi, and Neferi is willing to accept the Platinum Sons, all because we believe in the right way. It is precisely because we believe in justice and kindness that we will Help.”

The elder praised her: ...Yes, she is a good city owner for accepting sinners...

The elder's voice gradually weakened.

Millicent was already familiar with this habit of elders. Recently, the elder often fell asleep while talking and fell into a death-like sleep.

She quietly stood up from the table and chair and was about to leave when suddenly there was a bang in the elder's room.

Elder? Millicent was alert.

The sound was neither loud nor quiet, like something falling to the ground.

Millicent knew that the elder's body was hanging in mid-air—could it be that the rope was broken?

Elder? Millicent opened the wooden door and walked in without hesitation.

With the help of the light outside the door, Millicent saw the scene in the wooden house and fell silent.

The room was filled with the smell of decay and death, and the elder's last leg was lying quietly on the ground.

The elder who had lost his limbs was bound by ropes in mid-air, motionless and without breathing. His eyes were half-open, but there was no brilliance at all.

Elder... Millicent was in disbelief and called softly, as if to wake up the sleeping elder.

She approached the elder with a sad expression, put her head on the elder's wrinkled forehead, and helped the elder close his eyes.

The palm of his hand passed by, and the elder's eyes opened even wider, becoming turbid and pale, and he refused to close his eyes.

Millicent was shocked:

Are you okay?

The elder suddenly let out a loud and terrifying snoring, as if he was suddenly awakened, and his breath and vitality returned to his body.

The elder turned his cloudy and pale eyes:

Oh, Millicent, why did you come in? Is there something wrong?

You were asleep, said Millicent.

Oh, to be honest, I've been very sleepy lately... I feel like I'm going to sleep very, very deeply. The elder looked like he had just come back to his senses.

Millicent whispered: Elder, your legs...

The elder paused for a moment, seemed to notice it, and glanced down:

Oh, it seems I don't have much time.

Hearing what the elder said, Millicent glanced over her head unbearably.

Did you understand what I said? the elder said.

Millicent nodded.

That's good... The elder calmed down for a while, Okay, let me stay alone for a while. The sun is a bit dazzling while you are here.

yes……

Millicent withdrew, closed the door, and sighed sentimentally.

Mimi, what's wrong? Letina asked.

Elder... is dying, Millicent said.

Letina nodded: Oh...

The roar sounded again, this time the sound was closer and louder and more violent.

Letina, Millicent and Van Lei all looked towards the direction of the explosion, and the flames were rising into the sky.

How come it's so close? Letina's expression changed.

Millicent also stared in that direction with a serious expression.

She smelled a faint scent.

It's not just the Golden People. Millicent said, Those people who were targeting you before are here.

Bai Er's men! Letina was horrified, Millicent, please help Mr. Elpas quickly.

Millicent was a little worried: Shouldn't this be the most defensive place? Mr. Elpas is with the other Platinum Sons.

The protection here has been strengthened last time. It is located in the hinterland, no one comes in, and I am guarding it. Letina said, Hurry and help Mr. Elpas.

Millicent was not an indecisive person. She held Letina's hand tightly:

Well, take care of yourself.

Millicent left the courtyard and headed straight for where the explosion had occurred.

After watching Millicent leave, Letina stroked the dog in her arms:

I'm going to ask more of you next time, good dog, be more vigilant and smell out the location of the bad guys.

Fan Lei rolled his eyes.

He wanted to say that his nose was still normal, but he couldn't speak, and he was afraid that after saying this, his nose would be gone.

But Fan Lei was not idle either, patrolling around the courtyard.

He was quite relaxed and not very nervous.

Since the elder was attacked, the defense measures here have become increasingly tight. If someone approaches, dense alarms will be triggered without waiting for him to notice, followed by a series of magic traps.

Sure enough, although the fire outside the block never stopped, there was not much movement around the courtyard even as evening approached.

Occasionally, someone triggered the outer trap, and after a few screams, there was no more movement.

Just when Fan Lei had decided to go back to his nest to sleep, someone walked into the courtyard lightly.

Millicent? Letina looked over.

In the dark night, a skull mask looks even more terrifying against the backdrop of the night.

Letina immediately drew her bow and fired, but her accuracy had not yet fully recovered, and only two of the three arrows hit.

The skull faced Feiya without dodge, and took out three pencils from his arms.

The pencil lay in the palm of his hand, and the skull stretched out his other hand and rubbed it gently.

The pencil rotated rapidly in the vortex of red light and collided with the arrow. The arrow was deflected by the rotating pen tip and shot to one side.

The pencil that was not hit by the arrow shot out and hit Letina.

Bright red blood spurted out.

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

Eun Ha took Stonewell's remaining strength and lurked in the surrounding areas of the Platinum Sons neighborhood.

Since coming to Stonewell, he has been following Momochi's orders to put pressure on Neferi, forcing her to give up the Platinum Son, and at the same time investigate the information about the Platinum Son.

He has investigated clearly that Platinum's son Letina is with the elder of Platinum Village at this time.

Moreover, the demon archer Letina's arms were disabled and her combat power was greatly reduced.

This is the only good news during this period, and it is also Enxia's best opportunity.

Bai Zhi targets Platinum Village and wants the talisman leading to the Holy Tree in the hands of Platinum's Son.

Although he had never found out the whereabouts of the talisman, he speculated that the most important secret treasure must be hidden in the most important people, and the talisman was probably in the possession of these two platinum sons.

And now that the two platinum sons are together, it is a good opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

His mistake caused Baizhi heavy losses. Eun-ha did not continue to report to Baizhi, but planned to make up for it and get the talisman directly.

The Golden People came to make trouble, giving Enxia a good opportunity. He immediately wrote and asked the perfumer to mix in the crowd to help, while the others split up to create chaos and create opportunities for him to take action.

No, you're still writing at this time? The perfumer asked Enxia.

You take care of me. Enxia wrote, Perform the mission.

The perfumer shook his head and stood up: When you die, I'm afraid you will become a dead person and climb out of the grave to carve an inscription for yourself.

The perfumer created chaos very well, and a large number of golden people rushed into Platinum Street and mingled.

Enxia immediately rushed into Platinum Street with the others, commanding his men to spread out, mainly to create chaos, making as much noise as possible, and trying to attract all the reinforcements.

And he led several of his men straight to the center of Platinum Street, the courtyard where the elder of Platinum Village was located.

Enxia gave orders with pen and paper, telling his men to go around the courtyard separately to prevent anyone from escaping.

In the covert operation, Eun-ha's way of writing and communicating was surprisingly efficient and her men dispersed silently and approached the courtyard.

Unfortunately, Quiet's command was of no use. Before approaching the courtyard, a magic circle lit up on the ground, and then countless magic gravels rose up. Several of En Xia's men were unable to dodge and were beaten into pieces by magic traps on the spot.

Eun-ha was very skilled and escaped several traps, but she never got close to them.

Enxia is getting more and more anxious. His people are still sacrificing. If the delay lasts for a long time, the powerful warrior Millicent will knock out his people one by one, and Nefeli will also join the game. By then, there will be no way to recover.

He decided to take a chance, betting that the firepower of the trap wouldn't be enough to keep him alive.

With such will, Eun-ha wandered around on the road filled with traps.

He just rushed through the trap area without triggering a single trap.

Of course Eun Ha would not believe that she was so lucky. He took out a pen, held it in his breath, and threw it against the ground into the distance.

The qi on the pencil cut tiny traces on the ground, but not a single trap was triggered.

The trap is gone?

Enxia didn't understand what was happening, but this was a God-given opportunity. He stopped thinking about it and walked into the courtyard.

It was already dark, but for Enxia, ​​who was proficient in qigong, he could rely on qi to see things.

Qi circulates in the human body, and by sensing the qi, he can determine the opponent's position and movements.

Enxia could see that there were only three auras in the courtyard. One is extremely weak, crumbling and almost disappearing, one is short in stature, probably a dog, and the remaining one has a tall and straight upper body. Only Letina has this posture and figure in Platinum Village.

Without hesitation, Enxia attacked Letina when they met, preparing to subdue the only combatant presence present.

Letina is a famous magic bow shooter who has killed countless Baizhi's men. Although it is difficult, Eun Ha is not afraid.

As Baozhi's personal attendant, he is not a vegetarian.

In terms of Qi level alone, he may be stronger than Iron Thorn Aaron Mayer.

His judgment was correct. Letina's magic bow was indeed shot down by him.

Enxia neutralized Letina's attack and counterattacked directly with her backhand, preparing to kill Letina with one blow.

The pencil rubbed against Letina's cheek, and the vertical red air cut into Letina's cheek, and pale blood spattered everywhere.

But it didn't pierce her skull.

The pencil was crooked because Eun-ha was angry.

He looked at his feet in surprise.

The right leg protected by the golden human bone leg armor disappeared.

Enxia staggered and fell to the ground. At this moment, severe pain swept through her body.

who is it?

Enxia was horrified and raised her body with one hand, preparing to turn around in the direction of the anger.

A black shadow passed by, this time it was Enxia's throat that was shattered.

Enxia had been silent for half a lifetime, and now he couldn't speak even if he wanted to.

Blood spurted out from his chest, and huge lacerations tore almost all the muscles in his chest, leaving almost only a spine and a few muscles connecting his head and body.

The rapid blood loss made his vision blurred. He tried hard to identify the black shadow hovering around him, but he couldn't see clearly.

The son of platinum actually has such terrifying power. This news must be reported to Lord Momochi...

At the last moment of her life, Eun-ha finally stopped trying to hide the truth and thought of Baek-chi.

But he could no longer stand up or speak, and even his breath disappeared and he could no longer control it.

The nightmare-like shadow lingered in Enxia's mind. He constructed the face of that figure in his mind, trying to see the true face of the shadow.

Enxia fell to the ground, blood fainted. He stretched out his left hand, pointed his index finger forward, and wrote the last words of his life——

Most likely a dog.
