Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Although she had experienced the enthusiasm of the Corruption Knights before, Millicent was still shocked when faced with Malemare's offensive.

Millicent subconsciously wanted to shrink her hand, but she was afraid of hurting people's hearts, so she hesitated. She looked at her teacher for help.

Wuming just spread his hands to her: You decide for yourself.

I'll make my own decision... Millicent rolled her eyes and thought for a moment, then took out her hand and leaped high into the air, causing the waterfowl to dance wildly.

Wait, wait, wait. Seeing this, Wuming quickly raised his shield to stop him, carrying a continuous rain of swords, blocking Malema's face.

Won't you let me decide for myself? said Millicent.

If you refuse, just refuse verbally. There is no need to kill them all. Wuming turned pale, You unlucky kid, why are you so murderous all of a sudden? You weren't like this before.

I don't know either. Millicent said, But when you asked me to make my own decision, teacher, I suddenly wanted to become a water bird.

Wuming had no choice but to hold down Millicent's hand holding the knife, turned around and said with a smile:

Master Mare, don't worry, my apprentice is not emotionally stable -

Malemare stared at Millicent blankly, the light of the sword still reflected in her eyes, and it never dissipated for a long time.

Are you scared? Wuming waved his hand in front of Malemare.

Malemare once again hugged the prosthetic hand in his hand, raised his head, and trembled all over: Ah, it's the water bird dancing wildly. It's really you-quick! Hurry and chop me to death! If I can die under this wonderful sword dance, I A career with no regrets!”

Millicent took a step back as if she saw the cursed frog, and now she no longer even thought about attacking.

That's great. Lord Mare is very generous and doesn't blame you. Wuming pulled Millicent away. Lord Mare, I'll teach her a lesson first and I'll give you an answer later.

Wait for me, I'll go there too. Letina also followed.

Letina now has no doubt that Wuming will sell out Millicent in order to cooperate with this perverted city lord, and she must protect Millicent.

Malemare was holding the golden prosthetic hand, breathing the breath of the prosthetic sleeve on her mouth, clamping the prosthetic hand between her legs, kneeling on the ground shaking while twisting, rubbing her head against the soil, and it took a long time to recover from the madness.

When he looked up again, the person in front of him was no longer the red-haired girl, but an old sage in red robes.

Gewei coughed: Lord Mare, it seems you are very satisfied with that girl.

Is that the girl you are talking about? Malemare stood up quickly, Who is she?

Just as she knows it. Gwei smiled, She is the daughter, fragment, and clone of Lady Malenia. And she has inherited the most heroic and beautiful part of Lady Malenia, and is the best bud. She She will become Lady Marlenia’s successor, the next Scarlet Valkyrie.”

Gewei grabbed Malemare's wrist and pressed the gloomy old face towards Malemare. Malemare's hand stiffened uncontrollably. When he was thrown away, the golden prosthetic hand fell to the soil.

Gewei stared at Malemare:

And you are responsible for being the best fertilizer for the flower buds to bloom.

Seeing Gewei standing close to him, seemingly shocked by the oppressive language, Malemare just looked at Gewei in a daze.

After a while, he shook off Gewei's hand and picked up the golden prosthesis.

I understand. Malemare nodded seriously.

Great, I knew you were our trustworthy partner. Gewei's serious face finally smiled, In this way, Lady Marlenia will definitely become the goddess of corruption and bring the law of reincarnation back to the border. ——”

Just let me water her, right? Malemare said, I'm ready! Kill me and use my flesh and blood to water her, or... use ten drops of blood to water her?

Malemare spoke in a fanatical tone: Mr. Gewei, according to your orders, I will not hesitate to die for Lady Malenia!

Gewei was helpless: I meant it metaphorically, Lord Mare, please don't take it literally. Millicent will never bloom a big scarlet flower because of your flesh and blood.

Where are the ten drops of blood?

Even less so.

Malemare looked a little disappointed: Then what should I do?

You need to curb your attitude and become a decent, intelligent, reliable man - someone who matters to Millicent, Gervais said.

You just want to marry her, right? Malemare summed it up well.

It would be best if you could become Millicent's husband, Gewei said. We will also assist you, show your strength, help her take care of her, and deeply implant our influence in her heart.

Is this okay? Malemare asked.

Of course there are some rituals to be done after that, but as long as you become her important person, then everything will be simple. Gewei bowed to Malemare, For the great cause of corruption, for Malenia My lord, please marry Millicent.

Don't you want to marry Malemare?

On the city wall of Sunshade City, Wuming asked Millicent.

Does this still need to be confirmed? It's weird to think about it! Letina said loudly on behalf of the blushing Millicent, Who would like a guy who proposes to you right away!

Letina grabbed Millicent's hand vigilantly and blocked her body with the big wolf on her crotch:

Don't sell Millicent to that perverted city lord.

Am I that kind of person? Wuming said, Oh, children have their own ideas, you can decide for yourself, but this is my partner, don't refuse by fighting and killing.

Thank you, teacher. Millicent was grateful for Wuming's openness.

If Wuming really let her marry Malemare, she would probably fall into deep entanglement and pain.

You still have some humanity. Letina also breathed a sigh of relief.

The teacher is very kind, don't worry. Millicent pulled Letina and said.

Wuming felt a little melancholy: Stone sculptures and silk, Yatan and the border, the future and the present, it's hard to choose.

Why did the teacher feel so emotional? Millicent asked.

The corrupt family members are urging me to help you realize your mission. Wuming said, Your adoptive father hopes that you will fly far away and pursue your mission. Since he hopes so much, I can't keep you. But if you leave, naturally there will be no more Something happened to Fa and Malemare.

Wuming said: Chongzi is our partner. Since it is Gewei's wish, I naturally have to respect it.

Is it just a business consideration? Millicent was dumbfounded.

Isn't business enough? Wuming said, That involves thousands of runes! If I don't earn runes, can you survive?

Wuming's logic was so perfect that Millicent was speechless and could only hold her forehead and sigh.

So, if there was no worm silk business, you would let me marry that city lord? Millicent asked.

What do you mean by letting you? Wuming said, I'm not you, and I can't make decisions for you. Your brain and legs are grown on you. You have to learn to observe with your own eyes and think with your own brain. When you find that others are different from you, When concepts don’t fit, you need to fully understand.”

Wuming continued: But I will indeed let you meet the person. If you don't have contact, how will you know whether it is suitable or not? You can't just look at the surface of things. What if the person has an interesting soul, or there is actually a handsome guy under the mask? Woolen cloth.

Millicent smiled and shook her head: As expected of a teacher.

Wuming was lying on the city wall, looking from the top of the wall at the faintly visible cursed frog corpses in the distance outside the city.

Wuming said: People always have to face choices. Things are unpredictable. Finding someone to support each other can also reduce the risk of sudden death.

Millicent followed and looked over, quietly looking at the not-so-beautiful scenery of Sunshade City with Wuming.

Teacher, did you really save my life? Millicent asked.

Is there still a lie? You can ask Letina.

It's just incredible to think that you have such a noble power. Millicent said, Although it is controlled by a teacher, it is normal.

This is the miracle of the sun. Wuming said.

Are you at liberty to use this power? Millicent said suddenly.

Why are you asking about such a thing?

Millicent stroked the white marks left by corruption on her cheeks:

Power comes at a price. What did you pay to save me?

Rune.

How many?

Wuming calculated it: Fortunately, it's not much. My move has nothing to do with your identity and strength, it's only related to time and space.

Wuming explained: The longer the time, the larger the space, the more consumption will be significantly increased. So if you have been dead for too long, or are too big, it will be difficult to save - luckily you are very slim.

What a very gentle ability... Millicent whispered.

Oh, there is another situation that I probably can't save - some kind of influence that is larger than my casting range. Wuming said, It's probably a variation of spatial factors.

What about? Millicent asked.

For example, if the string of a puppet is broken, the person controlling the puppet will retract the string and leave, right? Wuming gave an example, Even if I repair the puppet, most of the string will still be broken. Even if the strings are intact and the person controlling it is lost, the doll will still not move.

You mean something like a soul?

I'm talking about the power hidden under the surface. Wuming said, It's similar to laws, or rules. If everything is closely connected, perhaps it will be much more difficult to reverse the tragedy. We should be grateful for the broken ring of the law.

Millicent was lost in thought. Wuming spoke very abstractly, but based on Wuming's understanding of power, this abstract language probably contained as much information as the virtual image of the law.

Mimi, let's go and find the way to the Holy Tree. Letina interrupted Millicent's contemplation and prepared to take Millicent away first. If he changes his mind, we can't stop him.

Don't worry, the teacher also said that we should meet first. Millicent stood up, put on her saber neatly, and adjusted her appearance, If you can, you can help the teacher.

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

In the main hall of the city, two rows of tables and chairs were placed in the hall. On both sides near the main seat, Malemare and Millicent were sitting on both sides of the candlelight dinner, talking in a soft voice.

Although Millicent is a warrior who has lost her memory, the nobility that comes with her bloodline has given her a kind of tranquility and elegance. She is always able to behave appropriately. It seems that the memories of education belonging to the princes and nobles have long been engraved in her mind. .

Millicent chewed the dinner prepared by Malemare carefully and listened with a smile as Malemare introduced her sculpture.

Your sculpting is of a very high standard, Millicent said.

Malemare also changed her crazy temperament at this time, became a bit more elegant, and said:

In order to keep the memory of the goddess in my heart, I invited a well-known sculptor to be my teacher.

Malemare admired the sculptures in the hall:

Unfortunately, before I could finish my studies, my teacher was invited to the royal city and was commissioned by the royal family to make a large statue of our grandma, our Lord Radagan, the King of Elden.

Speaking of Radagan, Malemare glanced at Millicent's capable red hair again.

The red hair inherited from Lord Radagon...

Malemare really wanted to call Radagon my dad or my grandpa, but thinking of Gewei's advice, she suppressed it.

Stay classy, ​​stay classy.

Millicent didn't react to Malemare's slip of the tongue. She just smiled politely and listened quietly to Maremale.

Mare continued: Later I heard that he offended King Radagon, and then his whereabouts were unknown and he did not come back. I think he is not dead.

Why not dead? Millicent asked.

Then I will definitely be able to see him. Malemare smiled.

Millicent still smiled and nodded, not reacting much to Malemare's hell joke.

The goddess never responded, and Malemare became more and more irritable, and even felt a stabbing pain in her chest.

Malemare grabbed her handkerchief and coughed on her side.

City Lord Marem, are you okay? Millicent stepped forward and patted Marem on the back.

It's okay. With Miss Millicent's comfort, my illness feels better! Malemare said.

Millicent looked at the hand pressing on Malemare's back and the light of fire on her hand: It will be good if it gets better.

Millicent was about to take her hand back, but was caught by Malemare.

Malemare observed Millicent's fingers, followed her hand, and her eyes climbed up to Millicent's cheek.

He reached out and caressed Millicent's cheek.

Lord Mare? Millicent reminded him loudly, signaling him not to take any drastic action.

Malemare did not take any drastic action, she just stared at Millicent's cheek:

Are the hands and this face the traces of corruption?

When Millicent heard this, she pulled away and turned her face slightly:

It's rude for the city lord to see such an ugly state.

I don't think it's ugly! Malemare grabbed Millicent's hand again, It's these imperfections that make you so beautiful! Your heroism and your struggle are so poignant. !”

Malemare looked at the portrait of the Valkyrie in the middle of the hall:

The men of the Marley family have been plagued by chronic illnesses for generations, but our illnesses combined are not as serious as those of Marlenia. It is precisely because of her gradually decaying body that she becomes more and more beautiful...

Malemare shows the gorgeous decoration of the city main hall:

Just like Sun Shadow City, although it does not receive the gift of the golden tree, the city built here and the flowers blooming here are even more beautiful!

Malemare turned around suddenly and stared at Millicent feverishly:

Don't you think so?

I don't think so. Millicent replied immediately, holding Malemare's hand with more fanaticism, Flowers that grow in the shadows certainly have their beauty, but flowers that grow in the light are the most beautiful. The most beautiful and powerful! Sunshade is not a choice to avoid the sun, but the result of not being blessed. We should not praise that suffering!

Millicent's eyes glowed:

Lord Mare, let me tell you the story of the sun. Then... please help the teacher create that great sun seat!
