Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

What's going on? Wuming knocked on Neferi's door wildly, attracting side glances from the passing servants.

Only Hyde was anxious. He stood beside Wuming, waiting for Nefeli to open the door.

Neferi has not come out of the room all day long, and the room prepared for Neferi is extremely strong and solid, and ordinary people cannot break it.

Wuming was also very anxious, and Neferi gave up. Many documents were left unsigned, and many things were left undecided. The efficiency was greatly reduced, and Wuming's business routes were also affected.

What's wrong with her? Wuming asked Hyde.

I don't know. Hyde was confused. I was busy with other things. When I came back, I wanted to report to the king, only to find that she had locked herself up.

How could she do this? She's so irresponsible! Wu Mingqi said, I have so much food, can I afford to delay it?

Wuming had no intention of being polite to Neferi, so he drew out his long sword and was about to strike at Neferi's door.

The door opened, revealing Neferi's messy face.

She only appeared at the door for a second, then grabbed Wuming and dragged him into the house.

The door slammed shut again, causing Hyde's ears to hurt.

Seeing Wuming go in, Hyde could only pray that Wuming would let Nefeli come out.

The wooden house was very dark, the candles were extinguished, and only Neferi's figure could be vaguely seen.

Why don't you open the window? You haven't lit the lamp yet, it's so dark in broad daylight. Without saying anything, Wu Ming lit up all the lights in the door with a fire in his hand, Hey, this is much more comfortable. You have to let the sunshine in.

After Wuming finished lighting the lamp, he looked back.

Neferi sat wilted by the bed. She was still wearing the same armor, but it seemed that it didn't fit properly because of the curvature of her body.

The makeup that Hyde had put on her was also messed up, and there were a few black tears running down her eyes.

New look? Wuming said.

Neferi covered her face: Ask me something.

explain.

Neferi then told everything that had happened, in every detail, and it was almost dark after she finished speaking.

Neferi said: I can no longer trust my adoptive father. Neither the Golden People nor the Platinum Sons believe me. I have thought about it and you are the only one who can help me answer it.

Isn't there Hyde? Wuming said.

Neferi said: I told you what happened in the city, right?

Wuming nodded.

A large number of enemies have sneaked into the city, the magic circle has failed, and the expedition team has been wiped out... Neferi pinched her hair, I can't do this with strength alone. I suspect there is an insider in the city, and I can't trust anyone.

Can't you believe Hyde? Wuming said.

In the foggy forest, why did the lords retreat? Neferi said, Judging from the current strength of the lords' troops, they will not be massacred by the insects at all, right? How did he deal with the insects?

Wuming was a little embarrassed: I went with him.

Neferi said: I trust you because you don't need to rely on conspiracy. If you have a plan, you can just come and rob it.

You misunderstood Hyde. It was mainly me who contributed to Wu Lin. Wuming whispered, I'll tell you a secret. I invited the bug.

It's not just bugs, it's not normal for a large number of enemies to sneak into the city. Neferi said.

Isn't that what Momochi did?

I told my adoptive father, but he seemed very dissatisfied with my guess.

You believe it when he says no? Wuming said.

Neferi said: I can't say that my adoptive father didn't do this. But some things are still strange, and I can't blame my adoptive father entirely.

for example?

Those eye badges. Neferi said, My adoptive father would not be that stupid. If he really wanted to hide it, why did he leave evidence? He seemed to really not know why Enxia died there.

My subordinates are often lazy, Wuming said. It is impossible for the people below to fully implement the will of the superiors.

Is that so? Neferi said.

She still resisted this answer, because then Baozhi would never be able to clear away the suspicion.

And she has been unilaterally cut off from contact by her adoptive father, and she cannot seek confirmation.

This was the saddest and most awkward thing for her.

At the same time, she was hostile to Platinum, Gold, and her adoptive father, and she became autistic.

She chose Nameless instead of Hyde because this was the only person with whom she could possibly find solace.

Of course it is. Wuming smiled, Otherwise, why would you be so frustrated by the conflict between gold and platinum?

Neferi murmured: The Platinum Sons actually don't have much lifespan. Logically speaking, I should give up on them, but I just can't let go.

Wuming said: I see that you are not looking for me to help you with advice. I see that you have a clear idea. You just don't want to accept it. Do you want me to show you the way?

Neferi didn't answer, so she acquiesced.

Wuming brought a chair and sat across from Neferi:

My advice to you is - no opinion.

Neferi looked at Wuming with a pitiful look. It was hard to imagine that this was the expression that could appear on the female warrior's face.

Don't look at me like that. I can give you some advice, but it's useless. Wuming said, The problems you are encountering now are all hard goods. You have to deal with them yourself. I will give you a goal and give you a false will. , you can only live a false and stable life, but cannot help you solve the problem from the root. People will always encounter such problems in their lives - without relatives and friends, they can only trek alone to find the answer.

Wuming sighed: And I don't dare to answer this kind of question.

Don't you dare? Neferi said, Is there anything else you don't dare to do?

I don't dare to fight anymore. Wuming said.

I see you fighting a lot.

That kind of battle is not considered a battle to me, Wuming said. I'm talking about risking everything, shouldering a heavy responsibility, and defeating a hopelessly powerful enemy - this kind of battle.

Why don't you dare? Neferi asked.

Wuming lit a cluster of flames at his fingertips:

In my hometown, everything revolves around fire. Fire distinguishes cold and heat, life and death, light and darkness. Everything seems to be opposite and unified. No matter how powerful the light is, it cannot destroy the darkness. No matter how dark the darkness is, No matter how powerful it is, if there is no light, there will be no darkness. Even the age of fire is opposite to the age without fire.

And the fire will eventually go out. In order to continue the flame, some people need to be sacrificed to save others.

The flames leaped, and the shadow on the nameless helmet also twisted and jumped:

Kill half, save half, the choice that makes you painfully entangled. In my hometown, it is the cornerstone of the continuation of the world. There is no way to change it. Everyone's path is just a variation of this rule.

Very cruel rules. Neferi said.

And I am probably the most twisted and terrifying monster domesticated under this rule. Wuming was a little sad, I killed those great gods to nourish the world; then I killed those respectable heroes, Nourish the world; then I kill all the people who are above the average to nourish the world... I don’t have time or energy to think, I just repeatedly harvest all the heat sources that are above the average.”

Wuming sighed: Millicent once asked me a question, asking why I didn't agree with bugs, but I didn't answer her directly. In fact, the reason is very simple. I have experienced repeated destruction and rebirth, but I have not seen the world change. In my hometown, everything is so unified with opposites. I can't help but worry - am I destroying in the name of saving? Of course, I am destroying some people and saving others. Human. I wonder, have I destroyed the future and not made the world a better place?

Neferi understood what Wuming meant:

Salvation will bring destruction?

I'm just worried that this will happen. Maybe I'm just unfounded. After all, the sages who are smarter than me have tried all methods and failed. But this layer of worry will make me worry and let me put down the butcher knife. Business... I chose business. The world is not bad. It gives me time to think leisurely and room for trial and error. Wuming said,

There is no shortage of people with missions in the world, and I was like this before. Everyone is working hard towards their mission, but has the world become a better place because of it?

Wuming paused:

Now do you know why I didn't give you any advice?

Neferi sighed and nodded.

Wuming did make it clear, but it also made her more anxious.

In the name of salvation, in reality, these words caused Neferi to fall into deeper anxiety.

She was afraid that she might do the same thing unknowingly.

Seeing Nefeli becoming more and more anxious, Wuming suddenly laughed:

Hey, don't be too anxious. Although I can't give you any advice, I can give you a little suggestion.

What? Neferi raised her head sharply.

Get some sleep.

ha?

Wuming said: Occasionally I will fall into anxiety like this, and suddenly encounter some powerful enemy that is difficult to match, and I can't defeat it no matter what. At this time, take a rest, take a sleep, and wait for the will and strength to be internalized into your soul. Maybe you can become stronger and defeat your enemies.

Looking at Wuming's sincere eyes, Neferi decided to believe him.

Okay! She lay down on the bed without saying a word and closed her eyes tightly.

The room was silent for a while, silent for a long time.

Neferi suddenly sat up again, looking tired:

No, I'm too nervous and can't sleep.

Hey, what a coincidence. Wuming said, I have a bottle of soothing medicine right here.

Wuming took out a bottle of potion from his arms, and under the dim light, it shone with dark blue light.

It seems to be a drug that has a psychological effect. Neferi said.

You actually understand? Wuming was surprised.

My foster father specifically told me about it before, Neferi said.

Wuming was a little wary: Then you drink?

Nefeli took the medicine bottle and looked at Wuming:

I trust you.

She opened the medicine bottle and drank the potion.

So it tastes so sweet... Neferi looked at the empty medicine bottle, her vision began to blur, and she fell on the bed.

Wuming walked out of the wooden house and closed the door.

Hyde was still waiting at the door when he saw Wuming coming out alone:

The king still refuses to come out?

She's sleeping. Wuming said, You can only be energetic when you wake up.

Hyde had no doubt that he was there, and when he heard that Neferi was sleeping to recharge her batteries, he no longer insisted on meeting her.

After Hyde left, Wuming was still standing at the door.

Soon, a puppet soldier held up a fruit plate and wandered over to Wuming.

It seems you fed it to her. The puppet made a Selvis voice.

Are you so well-informed? Wuming glanced at the puppet.

I will know if my potion has been drunk by others. Servais said, Businessman, you are very trustworthy.

That means I operate with integrity. Wuming said, Where is my technology?

The puppet took out a scroll from its body:

It's all here, the key manufacturing technology.

Wuming opened the scroll and looked at it: Not bad.

Then, happy cooperation. Servais' voice was filled with joy.

It's a pleasure to cooperate. Wuming said.

Servis left, and Wuming didn't go in to see Nefeli anymore. He returned to the courtyard, ready to study the puppet technology, make it bigger and stronger, and increase production and income.

But not long after returning to the courtyard, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

The knocking on the door was slow and soft, as if it was born with a chill, like a ghost coming to kill you.

Selvis? Wuming was puzzled and opened the door.

What catches the eye is a big pointed hat, snow-white, wide and furry.

Under the hat is a short blue doll.

Hey, hello. Lani greeted, her voice as cold as the night.

Lani's spirit face was smiling with squinting eyes, but Wuming could clearly see that there were a few cracks on the forehead of that half of the doll's face.

Wuming didn't even think about it and rolled aside.

The deformed black broadsword was grabbed by both hands, lifted up from the cloak and slashed out, and was dodged by the nameless general.

At the same time, Lani had already taken out a small black knife with her other hand, threw out the red blade of destiny, and cut towards Wuming.

At the same time, the last hand took out the staff, and countless ice cubes hit Wuming like hail.

Young man, don't be too arrogant! Wuming was shocked and angry, How can you fight like this when we meet?

Wuming responded with a huge ice blade of cold air.

Wuming immediately lay down, the ice blade flew past Wuming's scalp, and everything around him froze into powder wherever it passed.

Okay, you forced me. Wuming used the sealing magic to seal all of Lani's magic.

Lani felt that the staff was useless and directly smashed the staff at Wuming.

You girl are too crazy. Wuming was surprised, Is there anyone taking care of you?

Someone really came to take care of it. Rattan flew from the sky and shouted to save people under the knife.

Then Latarn fell in mid-air and fell into the courtyard. His upper body was stuck in the soil, and there was a purple halo hanging around his waist.

Wuming looked at Latan, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and continued to dodge Lani's attack.

Without magic, at least Lani's attacks were easier to dodge, and he could circle around Latan.

Wu Ming! I must kill you! Lani roared angrily, constantly throwing the destined death at Wu Ming, and chopped off Wu Ming's head with the big knife.

Latarn finally pulled out his head from the soil and quickly stopped Lani: Forget it Lani, just find it.

Get out of the way! Lani cut Latarn's big hand with her big knife.

Latan had to let go of his hand.

Lattan, where's your backbone as General Starbreaker! Now it was Wuming's turn to yell, Show off your aura as if you were pricked into a hedgehog by the Rotten Knight!

It's going to be troublesome to get cut by that knife, Rattan muttered.

Trouble? Help, brother! Wuming said.

It's useless to call him. Your life belongs to me. No one can save you! Lani yelled, Come and die. Don't force me to use the power of this knife.

Don't push me. If you push me too hard, I'll die for you. Wuming said.

That's right, hurry up and die.

Kill me and your mother will never be cured!

This sentence finally made Lani pause:

Can you cure my mother?

Some ideas. Wuming said.

Then you die too. Lani said, Who still believes your nonsense!

Lani waved the black knife again.

This time Wuming didn't dodge anymore, he rushed directly towards Lani. He dodged the slash of the big knife, and then snatched the knife away, kicked it to the side, and then hugged Lani.

Do you think you are handsome, so you can prevent me from stabbing you? Lani said coldly, Did you dodge my black knife?

Wuming let go of Lani and looked underneath him.

On the lower abdomen, a black knife was inserted into it, and the red destiny of death overflowed from the black knife.

Wuming took a few steps back, as if all his strength had been drained.

What kind of weapon is this? Wuming's tone suddenly calmed down.

Want it? I'll give it to you. Lani said, I can bury it with you.

Wuming is still a little unbelievable:

It's such a strange feeling, my life force is being extracted and transformed. Am I being tricked?

Latarn couldn't bear it: That is the power of destined death.

Then I'll die? After Wuming finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a crunch.

Lani saw Wuming lying on the ground, her body trembling, and she gasped for air. This body was not healthy to begin with. She expended so much energy chasing Wuming that she almost lost her balance.

Lani turned to look at Latarn: Take mom and go home.

After saying this, Lani only felt that her consciousness was blurred and she would soon fall asleep. Her body was shaky and she was about to fall.

He held her with one hand, helping her steady herself.

Thank you... Lani subconsciously thanked her and turned to look over.

Wuming stood up again.

You! Lani was forcibly awakened by Wuming, and she subconsciously wanted to attack again, but she didn't have a weapon in her hand, so she could only clenched her fist.

Hey. The ring finger pointed at Lani's fist, You have fulfilled your promise, you have already killed me. You have to be merciful and merciful, don't let it end.

After Lani heard this, she finally stopped smashing it.

People will die when they are killed. Do you look dead? Lani said coldly. After speaking, she found that her hand was still on Wuming's arm and she quickly shook it off.

You were also killed, and only your soul is left. Why don't you still be alive and kicking after me? Wuming said, We are all old people who can't die, so why are we pretending?

Who are you calling old?

Wuming said: You're not going to say you're young, are you?

Lani put her hands into her cloak again, and it seemed that there was still some treasure that she hadn't taken out yet.

Stop, stop, stop. Wuming thought of Lani's other three staffs and quickly stopped, We are relatives, don't use force.

Who is related to you? Lani became even more angry.

Wuming made a gesture of waiting with Lani, walked confidently into the depths of the courtyard, and opened the door.

I saw a demi-human in the room holding a staff and doing tricks.

In front of the demi-human, the Full Moon Queen sat with her egg in her arms, occasionally turning her gaze to the demi-human.

What are you doing? Lani hesitated when she saw this strange scene.

Wuming proudly introduced to Lani:

The egg in your mother's hand is your brother. I have become sworn brothers with him. We are brothers of the opposite sex. In other words, we are sisters.

Lani was so angry that she looked at the sword that was thrown aside.

If this doesn't convince you, there's another one. Wuming said, Have you seen the Naya? He is Man Yue's child now. The Naya also recognized me as his mother before. Rounding things off, Man Yue is my sister.

Wuming was a little worried: But in this case, your seniority will be reduced. I was afraid that you would not be happy, so I didn't say this.

I'll kill you! Lani couldn't help it anymore and put her hand into her cloak.

Wuming was also prepared and released the forbidden magic immediately.

In this way, even if Lani took out three staffs, they would still be three wooden sticks and could not do anything to him.

But Wuming made a mistake, and what he pulled out from Lani's cloak was not a staff, but a big sword.

The big sword was as big as Lani's body, and the hilt seemed to be made of Lani's body fragments.

Such a big sword was not completely hidden in the cloak. The hilt was taken out, and countless long blue hair stretched along the hilt, stretching out in layers like a pine tree.

Then the ice condensed the long hair to form a huge sword body.

This process only happened in an instant. By the time Lani shook off the hilt of the sword, the huge blade was already slashing towards Wuming.

Wuming didn't expect that Lani had a big sword on her, so she had to retreat violently.

But the blade of the sword passed by, throwing out a wave of blades, and the magic blade bombarded Wuming, knocking him back a few points again.

Lani took advantage of the victory and pursued her, slashing with her sword, threatening to cut Wuming in half. Wuming learned wisely this time, and instead of retreating, he checked his body and dodged.

Wuming flashed past, revealing the Full Moon Queen behind her.

Lani was frightened and quickly stopped her strength.

This time the wave blade did not come out from the sword, but the sharpness of the sword itself could not be withdrawn.

The sharp sword blade scratched the amber egg in Man Yue's hand.

A crisp click echoed through the quiet courtyard.

Everyone present, demigods, demi-humans, and turtles, all watched helplessly as the amber egg broke into two pieces and fell from the full moon's arms.

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

Wuming looked at the amber egg that was broken into two halves and was stunned.

He knelt down and slid to the amber egg, howling loudly:

Brother...brother!

Wuming scolded Lani:

You woman are too cruel. If you don't want me to be your brother, you don't have to kill your own brother!

Lani ignored Wuming, but did not attack again.

All her attention was on the full moon.

As the cold sword blade cut through the amber egg, Lani's anger seemed to be cut through and cooled down instantly.

Lani panicked. In the past, amber eggs occasionally left their mother's hands, usually falling or being taken away.

The mother will crawl desperately to get the amber egg back, showing no dignity and nobility of the queen.

But what happens if the amber egg is destroyed?

Facing the unknown, Lani was also a little scared.

Latane was about to be more straightforward and just yelled to run.

Why are you running? Wuming didn't take it seriously, Didn't we just break an egg? Oh, at most we will be transported to a thousand years later, and everyone will forget about us.

The Full Moon Queen stared straight at the amber egg broken into two pieces, opened her mouth slightly, but said nothing.

Child...my child...

But mournful voices sounded from all directions, running through the courtyard.

What's the noise? Wuming looked around, not knowing where the sound came from.

After looking around, Wuming probably knew where the sound came from.

The air around him was stagnant, and just turning his head was much more difficult than before.

The invisible force captured the surrounding air, making them the mouthpiece of the full moon, expressing her inner sorrow.

Wuming looked at Ranila Tarn in surprise:

Does your mother still have this special power?

Sweat dripped from Latarn's forehead: She has been in the big library for so long, it is not surprising that she has researched any new magic. That is the pinnacle of magicians in the border area.

Child...my child! The full moon made a shrill cry, and its arms became brighter and brighter, as if pregnant with a bright blue-green moon.

What's wrong? Wuming felt the light, Is your mother going to become a mummy?

Lani suddenly yelled at Wuming:

Use your magic-forbidden move quickly!

Following Lani's roar, a wisp of debris fell from the light ball in Man Yue's arms and landed on the ground.

A big hole quietly appeared in the courtyard.

Wuming Congshan Ruliu quickly put a purple circle around Man Yue.

The light ball seemed to be disturbed by something and became unstable.

But it didn't disappear.

It doesn't work. Wuming bared his teeth, Is it so difficult?

Mother's 'moon' can also eliminate magic, maybe it offsets it... Lani couldn't be sure, Latan, use your gravity magic and point it towards the sky.

It's no use. Latarn pointed to the purple halo around his waist.

Wu Ming, please remove the magic, and Latarn will be connected. Lani said.

The purple aperture was removed, and the light ball seemed to become more unstable, with a vague intention of expanding and exploding.

At the same time, another round of purple magic swept over and formed a trumpet in front of the light ball, pointing toward the sky.

No. Latarn's expression changed, My magic has been eliminated.

No wonder you're so afraid of mom. Wuming smiled, General Broken Star, is that okay?

I'll try using Dark Moon to see if I can eliminate that ball of light. Lani had no choice but to do it herself. If mother is injured, you should heal her quickly.

Okay, don't bother yourself. Wuming said, I'll do it.

Wuming stepped forward and kicked Man Yue's palm, and the ball of light immediately began to surge.

Are you crazy? Lani was shocked and quickly used magic to erect layers of ice walls in front of her. Latarn also lifted up the ground to block the layers of rocks and soil in front of her.

The ball of light exploded, but it did not surge in all directions. Instead, it converged into a beam and blasted into the air.

The light twisted around Wuming, continuously directing the light into the sky until the ball of light shrank completely and disappeared.

Done. Wuming wiped his helmet.

Before Lani Wuming and others could breathe a sigh of relief, the light in Full Moon's palm once again lit up, and the next ball of light was about to be conceived.

It's not over yet? Wuming shouted, and he looked at Lani, Princess, the situation is urgent, shall we kill Man Yue?

If you dare to kill my mother, I will kill you. Lani said.

You were going to kill me, is there any difference?

Lani gritted her teeth: The difference is whether you use a black knife or a hunting finger knife. Will it give you death or a wound that cannot be healed.

I don't even want it, Wuming said.

Lani was furious: Are you very free? Behind you!

Wuming turned around, and a ball of light was ready to go.

He had no choice but to give Man Yue another shot.

Your mother's balls are getting slippery. Wuming frowned.

Things were a bit stagnant, and he didn't know how to stabilize Man Yue unless he killed her.

Wuming could tell that the egg in Man Yue's arms had fallen off, and he kept thinking about rubbing another egg into his hands to replace the child.

He still couldn't find an egg suitable for the full moon, so he couldn't replace it...

Um?

Wuming's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wuming felt a chill in his brain. The problems that had been entangled in Wuming's mind suddenly merged into one, and he figured out something.

Isn't it just eggs and children? We have them! Wuming laughed with a heroic attitude.

On the side, Burke had been hiding behind the big turtle Millie. When he heard Wuming's words, he popped his head pitifully:

Master, if you let me in this situation again, I will die.

Wuming said: Don't worry, you will not be in danger. I have always wanted you to replace the egg in Man Yue's hand, but I have never succeeded. Now I finally figured it out - we are missing a transformation process.

The process of transformation? Burke blinked his eyes.

Yes, there was an egg in Man Yue's hand, and it suddenly turned into you. Although Man Yue lost her mind, she must have been able to detect this change in her subconscious, so she has been resisting treating you as her child. Wuming said, So as long as Give her a process of transforming from an egg into a child, and she will definitely accept it!

Burke said, So... you're going to stuff me into an egg?

That's so dangerous. Is the boss like this? Wuming said.

Burke wanted to nod, but was a little afraid.

Look, Wuming said proudly. He looked at Lani again, You will find out later that you can't attack me anymore. Let's make peace first.

Lani shouted: Behind me!

Wuming calmly turned around and shed the third full moon's child. Before the full moon could rub out the fourth ball of light, he shouted:

Watch it!

Wuming jumped up high, with white crane wings spread out on both arms, and rushed towards Lenara, the shadow shrouded the full moon - then curled up and landed just in the palm of the full moon.

Mom! Wuming let out a childish and disgusting cry.

Is this your method?! Lani's eyes darkened, and she felt like her soul was about to leave the doll's body due to anger.

Don't wait for Lani. Latane said, He...

Done? Lani looked at Latarn in disbelief.

He really looks like an egg, Latane said.

Wuming curled up into a ball, his shiny metallic armor twisted at a perfect angle, with the smooth surface of his back touching the palm of the moon, and his face and hands facing Lani and others.

Looks like a giant watermelon worm.

But Man Yue actually settled down and stopped rubbing the ball.

Wuming hummed proudly:

I have been looking for eggs, but I didn't expect that it was dark under the lamp and I forgot about myself. Isn't it just an egg? It's not like I haven't pretended to be an egg before. Let me tell you, I pretended to be so good that no mother can tell the difference!

Egg? You mean the mother bird, right? Lani said.

Do you think your mother's IQ is much higher than that of a bird now?

Lani raised the big sword made of the body, thinking about the angle at which she could cut Wuming's mouth without hurting her mother.

Wuming said: What are you doing? Are you going to kill your biological mother's child not just once, but twice?

Lani looked at Wuming with stern eyes and suddenly put away her posture.

Then just be your mother's good boy. Lani crossed her arms and said, I want to see how you get out.

What's so difficult about this? Wuming was full of confidence.

He began to cast light magic and his body gradually stretched.

It seemed like he had really turned into an egg and was breaking out of it.

Then, the eggshell broke piece by piece, and a furry head emerged from the egg.

A little Asian man jumped out of the egg and screamed.

This time, Man Yue finally shifted her gaze from eggs to people.

Yaren suddenly turned his head and said to Burke who was looking dumbfounded:

Come and take my place quickly.

Burke hurried over and realized the exchange in the interplay of light and shadow.

Wuming escaped from the illusion and returned to his knight form.

Done. Wuming gave a thumbs up.

Wuming admired the full moon's kind and joyful expression:

Look, is your mother more kind now?

Lani had been paying attention to her mother, and she had to admit that Wuming was right. Mother's expression did soften.

Lani didn't say anything else, picked up the staff and sword lying on the courtyard, and walked towards Wuming.

You still want to fight? Wuming said.

Return the black knife on your belly to me. Lani pointed at Wuming's lower abdomen.

Wuming pulled out the black knife stuck in his stomach and threw it to Lani.

Lani put away all weapons and said:

Can you really cure mother?

I'm not sure. Wuming said, There is a guess that needs to be verified. If it is confirmed, there is hope that it can be cured.

Lani tapped her sword with her fingers, thinking deeply.

She looked at Wuming: There is a big rune in the amber egg.

Really? Wuming quickly picked up the two petals of amber that fell on the ground, dug around inside, and saw a ring-shaped virtual image.

Wuming looked at Lani cautiously: You want to take it away?

Give it to your demihuman, Lani said.

Why? Wuming was puzzled.

If you don't give it, the Naya people won't survive a day in my mother's hands.

Wuming then handed the big rune to Burke.

Any other instructions for Princess? Wuming looked back at Lani.

Lani's head had dropped, and there was no more movement.

Latarn stepped forward and took a look: He fell asleep.

So sleepy? Wuming said, She didn't sleep until she found me, right?

That's not true. It's just that the shadow of death is constantly chasing her. Latarn gently laid Lani down on the ground and covered her body with his cloak. Death and sleep always seem to follow each other.

You're just going to let her sleep here? Wuming said, Aren't you going to take her away?

She will definitely be worried when she wakes up and has to come back, Latane said.

Wuming sighed: Okay - how did your sister know that Man Yue is here with me?

How do I know? I followed her after seeing her running toward you with murderous intent. Latarn said.

Wuming thought for a while: I can probably guess what's going on. Forget it, the matter is settled anyway - is your matter over?

It's done, two sets of plans, switch at any time. Latane said.

Wuming nodded: If there are no accidents, it should still be the original plan.

Wuming then prepared to send Latarn away from Stonewell and witnessed the accident with his own eyes.

Millicent helped Letina adjust her arm. This time Letina's hand was completely restored, the familiar feel returned, and the magic archer who was always on target returned to normal.

The Sons of Platinum also copied very quickly. They copied several scrolls in a day and a half and asked Millicent to take them away.

But Millicent brought Letina, and Letina took Fan Lei. Before the three of them left the city, they were blocked back.

Why aren't you allowed out? Millicent asked the city defenders.

The city defender also knew Millicent and pointed to the top of his head:

You can see for yourself when you go up to the city wall.

Millicent walked up to the city wall and looked into the distance.

Densely packed soldiers were approaching the city wall, occupying almost all the roads that could be taken.

Hyde ran to Neferi's door and knocked on the door with all his strength.

Although he didn't want to disturb Neferi's rest, the situation was urgent and Neferi was obviously not allowed to sleep anymore.

The door was opened, Neferi rubbed her eyes and looked at Hyde:

What's wrong?

When Hyde saw Neferi, he finally felt calmer:

Lords' coalition, the lords' coalition has arrived.

Isn't this something you already knew? Neferi said, Why are you so anxious?

Hyde cried: There are also people behind Stone City, and there are people coming from the Lake District. We are surrounded.

Neferi also woke up:

How many people are behind?

No less than the ones ahead, Hyde said.

Nefeli frowned: Hyde, you told me that half of the lords' coalition forces escaped from the fog forest.

More than half, Hyde said.

Now there's half of it coming from behind. Neferi said, Isn't it intact at all?

Haide opened his mouth: I don't know what's going on. I'm afraid I have to ask Wuming about this...

Neferi returned to the room, dressed neatly, and brought her ax:

Okay, let's investigate first and then think of a solution.

=========

The majestic and solid Stonewell was suddenly flanked by two sides, causing a shock that quickly swept through everyone in the city.

Millicent and Letina were blocked and went back. Wuming did not send Latarn away and also went home.

Wuming said: There are a lot of people.

No less than one hundred thousand, Latarn judged.

Can you hold it? Wuming asked Latarn.

I can do it, Neferi... it's difficult. Latan said.

It's really difficult. Even if we can win, everyone in the city will probably die. Nefeli opened the door and came in.

Neferi caught sight of Latarn without the illusion disguise.

General Shatterstar?

Latan nodded. When facing most people, Latarn is still quite dignified.

Neferi said, I'm afraid I can't count on General Shatterstar for help?

I'll be leaving in a moment, Latane said.

Neferi stopped chatting with Latarn and looked at Wuming:

Let me ask you something. When we were in the fog forest, you said you invited insects to retreat. How did you retreat?

Latarn glared at Wuming.

Wuming rolled his eyes at Neferi:

Is this okay to say? It's inappropriate!

I'm afraid you can only say it here. Neferi said, The situation is urgent and I have to take responsibility for my city.

Wuming was helpless: Just ask the insects to repel the coalition forces. It's nothing complicated.

Neferi said: My people have finished counting the flags and approximate number of the coalition forces surrounding Stone City. Except for the Neidhart family, all the main forces and lords of other families are there. And the lords and lords of the Neidhart family are there. The main force was wiped out by insects at the foot of Hyde Fortress in full view of everyone.”

Nefeli concluded: In other words, except for those who were seen by you, others suffered very little loss in the fog forest.

Is there such a thing? Wuming was also surprised, I don't know how many people the bugs have killed. Seeing that there are many corpses on the ground, I didn't ask much.

Okay... Neferi sighed, Let me ask you again, can you do me a favor? I know you are a brave warrior, and the price is easy to negotiate.

Mercenary? Wuming shook his head, No.

No amount of runes will suffice? Neferi asked.

This matter is too big for you to afford, Wuming said.

Last time you didn't take action for two million.

There are bugs for free. It's not the price to use my own strength. Wuming said, And I went to look at the wall. This time it was much bigger than the battle in Wulin. Siege of a Hyde Fortress. The battle formation is so different from the siege of Stonewell.

Wu Ming said: Anyway, I'm a businessman, so it's not easy for me to do business at a loss. I'm just a businessman, so I'm not selling to anyone. Even if they win, can they still stop me from doing business?

Okay. Neferi looked gloomy, Well, this time is over, no matter success or failure, there will be no more wars in Nimgefu.

Wuming suggested: Tell me, can it be resolved peacefully?

How to solve it peacefully? Neferi frowned, You don't want me to hand over the Platinum Son too, do you?

For example, singing and dancing on the city wall to influence others?

Nefeli was confused: Huh?

Wuming said: I have been thinking about forming a song and dance troupe recently, ah, to use the power of emotions to influence them. Do you think you have started it?

I don't know, you can try. Neferi stood up and left, Excuse me, I have other things to do.

Wuming said: I can help you with the work of being a demigod. If they are willing to intervene, this situation will be solved.

Sorry to trouble you. Neferi closed the door and left.

After watching Neferi leave, Wuming looked at Latarn.

Why are you looking at me? I won't take action. Latarn waved his hand.

You are not missing. Wuming curled his lips, Now there are three demigods in my yard. I don't believe it. Can I find anyone to help?

If you don't want to contribute, why bother others, right?

What else? Wuming said, I don't have to spend money on other people's efforts.

Wuming shook his finger:

If you want to make a lot of money, you can't just rely on your own labor. The most important thing is to learn to be a slave - learn to use the power of others.

Latarn shook his head and threw a disc to Wuming:

Then I'll go back to the walled city first. If you need anything, use this to contact me.

Then Latarn rose into the sky and disappeared from the horizon in an instant.

It's great to be able to fly. No matter how many people attack you, you can't stop me. Wuming muttered, I wish I had a flying mount...

It's a pity that Wuming can only think about it now. Now Shi Dongcheng can fly, but only the war eagle, and that thing can't carry him.

And Neferi, it’s not appropriate for the king of a domain to be a mount.

The most important thing is that it's not cool enough, and Wuming doesn't have Servais's hobbies.

Selvis... Wuming muttered.

He pulled out the scroll of puppet technology and read it carefully.

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

Neferi carried the storm deep into the enemy's camp, harvested a piece of life, and then walked away.

Neferi showed off the top combat power of Stonewell City to dampen the spirit of the coalition forces.

This is a rare advantage of Stonewell. She has strong personal strength that none of the lords have, and can penetrate into the enemy camp like a sharp knife.

It's a pity that the difference in strength is too large. Even if you lead an attack, you will only be overwhelmed by the enemy.

Neferi returned to Stonewell, the storm dissipating, with a long arrow stuck in her arm.

Perhaps because the angle was too tricky, the long arrow passed through the storm and hit Neferi.

It's too dangerous, Hyde said. If they prepare a trap, you're in danger.

I just hate that I'm not strong enough. If I had the power of a demigod, I could defeat them all by myself. No trap can trap me... Neferi gripped the ax tightly, How is the city?

The chaos is crazy, Hyde said. Many people are planning to leave. The civilians have no power and will do anything to follow those who can leave. I find it difficult to talk about many things that happened in the city. Even many officials They all want to run away.”

The encirclement has been closed. If I run now, will I be able to escape? Neferi smiled bitterly.

Hyde said: I'm afraid they wanted to defect to the other side in exchange for life, but I stopped them. The situation in the city cannot be leaked.

Neferi nodded.

Hyde reported: But the residents of the city are angry. Many people feel that they trusted you and did not flee. Now they are surrounded and feel that you have failed them.

I did let it down, Neferi said.

Hyde said: The lords outside the city have been inciting the residents in the city. They promised that those who help them attack the city will receive preferential treatment, otherwise the expedition will suffer. They have been sending similar messages to the city, and we have tried our best to intercept it, but it should still be Many have been missed. And some of the defenders are wavering.

Do the residents believe it?

Hyde murmured: Those golden people with backbone are all in the expedition team...

I understand. Neferi said, It's still my fault.

I can't blame you, who would have thought...

The king must be responsible. Neferi said, There is no need to excuse me. Their lives have been entrusted to me. Are they not allowed to complain?

Neferi said: Now we should think about how to solve the problem.

If you can figure it out, you won't panic. Hyde sighed, We are just inferior in strength. They definitely have the support of demigod-level power behind them. Otherwise, how could they escape from the foggy forest without being noticed? Go around to the back of the lake.”

Demigod... Neferi murmured.

She tried to contact Baozhi again, but she never succeeded.

Neferi said: According to you, it would be best for us to surrender?

You can't ask me this question. Hyde said, If you really surrender, others can say it, but you and I will not be let go.

The guard knocked on the door and came in:

Son of Platinum asks to see you.

Millicent brings Letina to see Neferi.

They were all acquaintances, Millicent said with concern:

How is it going?

Neferi smiled: We are considering surrendering, but Hyde and I will not be let go if we surrender.

No surrender, Millicent said.

That's right, we cannot surrender. Neferi said, It will not only be Hyde and I who will be liquidated, but also the Platinum Sons.

I am also here for the Son of Platinum. Millicent said, Letina is blocked in the city and must be sent out of the city. This is the only request of the Son of Platinum.

Where are the other Platinum Sons? Neferi asked.

Letina said: The other Platinum Sons have heard about the predicament you encountered, and they decided to sacrifice themselves. This is also the condition they offered as the price for sending me out of the city.

Millicent was a little shocked when she heard:

How come I don't know about this?

We don't always tell outsiders about everything. Letina smiled, The Platinum Sons are willing to take the initiative to give in so that you will no longer be criticized.

No, Neferi said.

Now is not the time to be kind, Letina said.

It has nothing to do with good or evil. Neferi said, The lords don't care about you at all. They are just using your existence to drive a wedge between me and the people. Even if you die, they will not retreat.

But the Golden People will reconcile with you. Letina said, There are still a large number of Golden People in the city. They have inherited the good tradition that they have had since the days of Godfrey - longevity brings numbness, boredom brings Brutal, they can be transformed into brave warriors.

Neferi was shocked by the Platinum Son's sacrifice.

She sighed: What a sin...

Carry your sins and move forward, carry them with the weight of a king. Millicent said, covering her forehead.

Letina looked sideways: Millicent, you would actually say something like this.

Millicent was stunned: Did I just say that?

Why does it seem like your mental state is not as good as Neferi's?

Maybe you haven't had any rest, so I'll adjust your arm all night long, Millicent said. I even imagined hearing the explosion.

I heard it too. Neferi rushed out.

I originally thought that the coalition forces were undeclared war and attacked the city with trebuchets, but when they rushed out, Neferi realized that something was wrong.

There was another riot in the city, and the whole place was ablaze.

There can't be enemies sneaking into the city, right? Neferi said, My secret passages and everything have been blocked, the guards have been replaced, and the magic circle has been re-inspected. Even my adoptive father can't send any more A lot of people are coming...

Millicent also rushed out and saw the fire.

The firelight in one direction was particularly dense.

Millicent said: Oh no, that's the direction of Platinum Street.

Is this the end of my foster father? Neferi said, I'm with you.

Letina said: Millicent, go find Mr. Elpas, the talisman is still in his hand. Neferi, let's go save the golden people.

Save the Golden People? Neferi was stunned.

Save the Golden People. Letina said, That way you can re-establish your prestige.

Millicent didn't say much and went straight to Platinum Street.

When we arrived at Platinum Street, sure enough, another group of perfumers were attacking.

Before the crowd stopped, several fireballs were thrown out, blowing up the perfumers. Their skin was charred and turned black, revealing dripping flesh and blood.

Huh... Millicent was stunned.

Among these perfumers, only one had bright red blood flowing out, while the other perfumers had pale blood under their skin.

Like a son of platinum.

The sound of breaking through the air interrupted Millicent's doubts. She subconsciously dodged, and several arrows passed by the tip of Millicent's nose.

Millicent looked towards the direction of the attack. The image of the enemy was beyond her expectation.

A puppet soldier held three bows and arrows in six hands and kept firing bows and arrows at Millicent.

How could it be a puppet...

Millicent has been staying with the Platinum Sons on weekdays, and has only seen these puppets at the teacher's construction site.

Teacher? It can't be a teacher. These puppets are Kalia's technology... Millicent seemed to have thought of something, The magic trap that suddenly failed before was also Kalia's technology. The lords suddenly appeared from the lake area, as if they were teleported. Likewise, Kallia is proficient in teleportation magic...

Neferi and Letina also encountered the same attack on the streets. The puppets that were originally at the unknown construction site all appeared in the city and were armed, destroying everything around them indiscriminately.

Neferi struck down the puppets one by one with her axe.

She thought about Hyde's report.

According to Hyde's report, the lord robbed the supplies of ten unknown carriages, ate and wiped the contents, and then sent the carriages to the city.

In the carriage were the prisoners who had been dismembered by them, as well as the limbs of some puppets.

Neferi suddenly thought that in order to provide the expedition with the best logistical supplies, she had replaced the oxen and horses with tireless puppets.

Neferi bit her lip to bleed as she kept slashing at the crazy puppet.

On the Eagle Tower in Stone City, a puppet soldier with wings stood on the top of the Eagle Tower, overlooking Stone City, and let out Servis's sinister laughter:

Hoo hoo ho... Gideon, if you lose your daughter, you will also lose the platinum son you covet, and the businessman... will be killed by Lani. No one knows who took your daughter's soul away, And I have another beautiful collection.”

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

The puppets swarmed to Platinum Street and slaughtered all the Sons of Platinum crazily. The magic trap failed, and the Sons of Platinum could only use the cracked pyroxene to resist.

The puppets turned into precise killing machines, constantly harvesting the lives of the Platinum Sons, and the streets were dyed white.

Stop it! Millicent rushed into Platinum Street and swung the fire whip wildly, setting the puppets on fire and beating them to pieces.

Millicent rushed into the Platinum Son's home and found no one.

She stood on the roof and jumped high, as if she was going to fly into the sky.

Turning around, Millicent found that the Platinum Sons were all gathered in the elder's courtyard, and the puppets were also rushing there.

Millicent jumped on the roof, and in a few ups and downs, she arrived in front of the Platinum Son before the puppet.

When I got closer to Millicent, I discovered that although the magic traps around the courtyard were ineffective, there was a hemispherical protective shield surrounding the courtyard, protecting the Platinum Sons.

Come in quickly. Elpas greeted Millicent quickly.

The protective shield was closed and opened again when Millicent entered.

Elder, we actually have a backup plan. Millicent was pleasantly surprised.

Your teacher just sent this not long ago. Elpas said. He said there might be danger in the city and asked us to gather together. We came to the center.

Teacher! Millicent was even more surprised, How did he know?

Elpas looked weird: He said he brought this on.

Hmm... It seems so. Millicent said, I won't tell you, how long can this protective shield last?

Opening such a large protective shield will consume a lot of runes, Elpas said, but it should be enough to last until the rescue in the city.

As he spoke, the sky changed color.

Countless huge flaming boulders cut through the sky, dyeing it red.

The lords also launched an attack at this time.

Several of the boulders hit Platinum Street, were deflected by the protective shield, and collapsed several nearby houses.

Elpas smiled bitterly: It seems that we can't wait for rescue.

Maybe the teacher will rush over. Millicent said, Before the magic circle is destroyed, just wait patiently.

The large protective shield was quite conspicuous, and the puppets on the Eagle Tower also saw it.

Huh? Defense magic based on time and space? It's interesting. Most people really can't crack it. The puppet rolled and jumped on the eagle tower, like a naughty child seeing an interesting toy. Let me think about it, the son of platinum is not afraid of poison, so Change something...

Several perfumers stood around the elder's courtyard, wearing protective masks and pouring spices into their mouths.

Then it was mixed with saliva and sprayed out, forming bursts of thick red mist, gradually covering the entire protective shield.

These perfumers then spray uplifting incense, creating a larger shield that seals the mist inside.

When the thick fog enveloped the protective shield, red smoke began to seep out from the edges of the circle.

Millicent's expression changed:

The protective shield cannot protect against a large-scale and long-term poison gas attack.

What seeps into the courtyard is a burst of corrosive acidic mist. A simple touch will not cause too many problems, but if you stay in this mist for a long time, it will be corroded sooner or later.

Are you going to take off the protective shield... Millicent was unwilling.

Elpas said: Withdraw, break the bubble outside first, ventilate the fog and blow it away. Millicent, you block the door, and we will activate the magic circle after the ventilation is completed.

That's all. Millicent nodded, the fireball in her hand ready to go.

The defensive barrier was closed, Millicent left and threw out flying flames, shattering the bubbles outside, and then continued to bombard the thick fog outside the door.

But the fireball couldn't stop the perfumers. They cooperated with each other, constantly throwing incense to form a protective shield, and rushed into the courtyard.

Millicent increased her attack frequency, finally breaking through the perfumer at the front and killing one.

The other puppets had already rushed in. The first wave of puppets were all puppets holding bows and arrows, shooting at the Son of Platinum crazily.

Millicent swung out the fire whip and shot down the arrows with all her strength.

She was overwhelmed and exhausted.

Millicent only regretted that she did not have the power of her teacher to erect a wall of fire to intercept all arrows.

The Son of Platinum also showed his tenacity at this time. He tried his best to hide behind the elder's room and continued to use cuckoo pyroxene to fight back.

The Sons of Platinum all threw azalea stones and magic balls, which actually suppressed the puppet's attack for a moment.

Can't you activate the protective barrier yet? Millicent shouted when she had time.

No chance. Elpas smiled bitterly.

The protective barrier activation circle located in the center of the courtyard has been approached by puppets, and the Son of Platinum guarding there has been shot.

For the sake of safety design, the activation circle is difficult to destroy, and puppets cannot destroy it even if they are close to it.

But several perfumers stayed there, constantly spraying invigorating incense and putting up layers of protective shields in front of the magic circle.

Millicent could choose to concentrate her firepower to break through the defense line and activate the protective barrier, but too many enemies had already poured into the courtyard. By the time she closed the magic circle, the Platinum Sons would be slaughtered.

Millicent was a little desperate.

Don't feel bad, kid. Elpas said, We are always going to die. You are still young, you have to escape! We will give you cover.

Yes, let's leave. The elder in the wooden house that had been tied up like a hedgehog also said, We are hopeless. Millicent, take away the treasure box in the yard before leaving. That is the last gift given to you by the Sons of Platinum. one's gift.

Millicent looked towards a corner of the courtyard.

There has always been a treasure box lying there, but neither he nor the enemy wants to pay attention to that box at the moment.

I won't leave. Millicent waved the fire whip stubbornly, trying to block the dense rain of arrows, providing cover for the Platinum Sons and creating an environment for attack.

Don't let down their good intentions. The elder said, Take your right arm and leave while there is still a chance.

My right arm? Millicent was stunned for a moment.

Elpas said: We made an arm for you without telling you - don't worry, it's not deformed, it's very beautiful.

The elder said: You are not the son of Platinum. Your arm does not need to be adjusted. With the knowledge you have, it is enough to install it by yourself. This is our thank you gift to you, thank you for your help along the way -

Everyone. Millicent interrupted the elder, Please, please cover for me. It doesn't matter if you use up all the rhodonite.

What are you going to do? Elpas asked.

Extended limbs. Millicent replied with two short words and rushed towards the treasure chest.

Several puppets tried to block it, but Millicent didn't use flames and directly knocked them away with her body.

Millicent rushed to the treasure chest and opened it.

A right arm lies quietly in the treasure chest.

It was indeed as Elpas said, not deformed, fair and slender, and not lacking in muscles.

It fits her arm perfectly.

Millicent even recognized the origin of the arm.

It came from the nobleman with the limbs, that handsome young man, the sad young man who only had half of his body and one right arm left.

At that time, when Millicent was fighting with the limbed noble, she felt that the boy's muscle strength was not inferior to hers.

Now after fine-tuning, this will be the most perfect arm.

Magic balls crisscrossed behind her, suppressing the attacking puppets.

Hurry up and leave with your arms! Elpas said, Even if you add limbs, you can't stop them. There is no difference between releasing flames with one hand and releasing flames with two hands!

Millicent didn't answer. She tore off the wrapping around her right arm with her left hand and put the broken arm on her shoulder.

It was as if some kind of prosthetic limb was attached, and there was a constant clicking sound. The nerves, muscles, and bones were connected under the ritual of limb replacement, which was accompanied by severe pain.

Cold sweat broke out on Millicent's forehead, but her face remained expressionless.

She moved her right arm and took out a scimitar from her arms.

The sharp Seychelles scimitar was only used as a knife for her limb grafting experiments during this period.

Millicent clenched the handle of the knife with her right arm and stroked the blade with the palm of her left hand.

A touch of flame was spread on the blade by her, and a scorching fire snake flowed from the blade like flowing water.

Millicent turned around and took a deep breath.

Facing the enemies in the garden, she jumped high.

Then, everything in the courtyard seemed to freeze for a moment.

The air surged toward Millicent, pushing her body to sprint out of thin air in a counterintuitive posture. Following the flowing air, Millicent waved the not-so-long scimitar in her hand.

Then, half of the enemies in the courtyard were shattered.

Millicent's arm disappeared, Secher's scimitar slashed her continuously, and the criss-crossing ultra-long sword energy accompanied by the flowing flames enveloped her whole body.

Millicent rushed through the entire courtyard like a cannonball, cutting all the enemies along the way into pieces, with no piece larger than the size of a head.

Even the perfumer who uses the uplifting incense and has a protective shield cannot stop it. The flames will destroy the protective shield in an instant, and the subsequent knife energy will cut the perfumer into pieces.

And this was not over yet, Millicent paused for a moment at the end of the courtyard, turned back at an acute angle, and crashed into the other direction of the courtyard.

Millicent thus drew three white paths in the courtyard. Pale fragments were splashed around the paths, and white blood slowly seeped into the land full of knife marks.

In three seconds, the courtyard was cleared, and the densely packed puppets crowded in the courtyard were now reduced to dense fragments piled on the ground.

Millicent stopped, panting slightly, then blocked the door, like an elegant dancer, dismembering every puppet that tried to approach the door.

Then she jumped up again and performed the terrifying sword dance outside the door again, cutting into pieces the puppets outside.

When the bird-shaped puppet watching from a distance saw this scene, it lost its balance and fell down.

The Platinum Sons in the courtyard were also stunned.

Ten seconds ago, they were facing the crisis of genocide and were preparing to meet the end tragically. Ten seconds later, the crisis was suddenly lifted.

The Platinum Sons looked at each other, then looked at Elpas:

Why didn't we give her this gift earlier?

Elpas felt aggrieved: Isn't this... I didn't want to receive the limb at first, so I wanted to give them a surprise when the time was right...

Elpas knocked on the wooden house in front of him:

Do you know about this?

There was no response or movement in the wooden house.

Are you asleep again? Elpas said, Can you still fall asleep?

Elpas leaned against the wall of the wooden house and listened carefully, but he didn't even hear the snoring.

Is something going to happen? the Platinum Sons said.

The crisis was over, and the Platinum Sons no longer had to hide behind the wooden house. They all walked to the front of the wooden house.

Elpas opened the door and went in to take a look.

After coming out, Elpas said:

Still alive, seems to have passed out.

You must have been frightened by Millicent. The Platinum Son said abruptly, In his position, the sword dance was close to the past. I was terrified when I looked at it from behind the wooden house.

What are you talking about? Millicent walked into the courtyard.

We are talking about your sword dance. The Platinum Son said, I didn't expect you to have such a gorgeous and powerful sword skill.

Millicent smiled: Thanks to your prosthesis.

In the Eagle Tower in the distance, a bird-shaped puppet climbed out of a pile of bird droppings and murmured to himself:

...The Valkyrie's flurry of water birds?

Servais' voice was extremely low, as if he was afraid of being discovered by someone, and even had a hint of trembling.

The bird-shaped puppet walked around on the roof several times:

With just this puppet... there's no chance... Forget it, with a guy of that strength guarding him, Gideon won't be able to succeed.

Thinking of this, Servais also sounded a little happy: I won anyway, Gideon lost everything.

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

As the crisis of the Platinum Sons came to an end, the great commotion in the city gradually began to subside.

Neferi also killed the crazy puppets in the city, and the siege lord finally stopped defeating the soldiers defending the city in one go and began to withdraw his troops.

The magnificent Stonewell was filled with smoke at this time, and felt a little calm for a while. Everyone who survived the disaster no longer had the strength to howl wildly, and fell silent into the complex emotions of not knowing whether to celebrate survival or mourn the death.

But no matter what, Stonewell finally survived the attack and won a moment of respite.

The soldiers on the city wall were hiding in safe places, drinking wine and celebrating their survival.

On the city wall, there was a figure standing tall, seemingly not worried about being shot by bows and arrows.

Wuming stood on the city wall and looked out of the city.

Flames surged around him, revealing his restless heart.

Wuming was very angry now, extremely angry.

At both ends of Stonewell City, half of the bridge has been built, with only a few ruins remaining.

While the lords' coalition forces surrounded Stonewell, they demolished the unfinished bridge.

My bridge... Wuming wanted to cry but had no tears.

All the early investment was in vain. When the war just started, Wuming was the first to painfully feel the cruelty of the war. It didn't take long for me to be happy when I first turned into an egg, and I deeply understood what it means to have an egg that never ends when the nest is overturned.

The lost runes would not disappear out of thin air. At this time, they turned into overwhelming anger and poured into Wuming's heart.

Very good, very good. The coalition of lords won't let me do business, right... Wuming's voice trembled, Just tomorrow, tomorrow, let this farce end.

In fact, it can be divided into several chapters to adjust the rhythm, but...that's it.
