The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 115 Atonement and Marriage

Nameless's head was constantly shaking under the tap of the staff. He looked at Latan:

"Didn't it mean that as long as the stars circulate, the fate of stargazers will begin to rotate?"

Lataen looked at Lani:

"Didn't it mean that as long as the stars circulate, the fate of stargazers will begin to rotate?"

Lani sneered: "Just let the predetermined stars fall to the predetermined position, is it also called letting the stars flow?"

"Is there any problem?" Wuming asked, "Many dynasties choose officials like this."

Lani has no expression on her face:

"The Golden Dynasty may like to do this, but I don't like this."

"It's really troublesome for you." Wuming complained.

"Blame me? This is fate, fate!"

"Don't listen to other people's arrangements, but listen to the fate of the stars?" Wuming asked.

"The stars are my law, so can that be the same?"

Nameless looked at Lataen with disdain:

"Why is your sister so rebellious?"

Lataen said: "There is no way, our Lao La's family is like this, the weight is nine catties and the bone is ten catties, maybe it is just like the old man."

"Shut up." Lani interrupted Lataen viciously, pointing with a finger, "I haven't settled the score with you yet, do you know how sad your mother is if you don't come back with that heartless man?"

Ratarn was dumbfounded, knowing that he was wrong, and shrank aside and stopped talking.

"Okay, okay." Wuming said slowly, "Your family ethics drama can be performed later, let's talk about this meteorite."

Lani said: "You guys completely undo the seal of the stars, otherwise cooperation will be impossible."

Nameless rubbed his chin, a little confused:
"It's Hyde's territory. If it was before, I might have let you smash it. But Hyde is now a popular person next to King Nefeli."

Wu Mingxu held his hands together, as if holding the two ends of a scale, weighing pros and cons.

"The king of Nimgof, the king of Kalia..."

"I'm not the king, but my mother." Lani corrected.

"The king of Ningmgfu, the princess of Kalia..." Wuming weighed it for a moment, and showed embarrassment, "It's hard to promise you."

Lani said: "I won't force it, but I won't respond to begging, you can go back."

Wuming asked: "Can you explain carefully, why do you have to let this star fall? How does your destiny work?"

"Noklonn, the underground eternal city, is below the foggy forest." Lani said, "Noklonn and my fate have been sealed together, and the seal can only be broken when the stars flow."

"Are you going to the Eternal City?" Wuming asked.

"I need Nokron's secret treasure." Lani said.

"Let's say it earlier, then we can go through other ways." Wuming said, "Why do we have to use meteorites?"

"What do you want to use?" Lani asked.

"For example..." Wuming pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, "You can use dung beetles."

"Dung beetle?" As a stargazer, Lani was a little confused by the nameless thoughts.

"You've never caught a dung beetle, have you?" Wuming said triumphantly, "That thing likes to collect the dewdrops of the golden tree, and it's very timid—that is to say, they are very good at burrowing into the soil."

Wuming formed a circle with his left hand, and reached into the circle with his right hand, signaling to Lani:

"You see, as long as we dig a hole, we can go there."

Lani raised her forehead:

"Do you know the exact location there? Do you know how deep to dig? Do you know how hard the rock formation can support a false sky?"

"I can always figure out a way." Wuming said, "Princess, don't worry, I will get you back the secret treasure you want."

Lani shook her head: "It's not that simple, even if you stand in front of the secret treasure, you still can't open the treasure chest."

"I don't understand this, I'm already standing in front of the treasure chest, why can't I open it?" Wuming was surprised.

"The secret treasure of Noklonn is naturally sealed by the stars just like Noklonn." Lani said, "Starlight controls destiny, and you can't open it without that destiny."

"That's right." Wuming said, "The power of the stars is really amazing..."

He waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, take one step at a time, we will advance to the eternal city-you let us use the observatory first."

"No way." Lani refused to let go, "I can't trust you. You must run away when you run out."

Ratan said:
"Although he is a businessman, he is quite trustworthy."

"What we businessmen pay attention to is credit." Wuming echoed.

"That heartbroken man still swears loyalty." Lani said firmly, "Unless I see the treasure chest, I won't talk about it."

"Can't each take a step back?" Wuming asked.

Lani threw a scroll to Wuming:
"The map of the Eternal City, you can find it faster with this."

Lani turned and left, expressing her attitude with actions.

But halfway through, she backed away, jumped onto the observatory, and curled herself up under her thick cloak.

Staring at Wuming and Lataen with an attitude of lying in front of the demolition team as a nail, in case they secretly use the observatory.

Wuming stepped forward, put her sideways, and sat her on the stargazing platform.

"You want to use my observatory forcibly?" Lani folded her hands on her chest, with two staffs resting on Wuming's chest, "If you dare to be disrespectful, I will kill you."

"I'm a businessman, and I pay attention to fair trade. I won't buy or sell by force." Wuming said, "But can you pay a part of the deposit in advance?"

"What deposit?" Lani asked.

"I need to set up the portal first, so that it will be convenient for me to carry out my work," Wuming said.

"Yes." Lani nodded, "But you have to be careful, the Kalia royal family is not the only one who has the final say in the lake area."

"There is a cuckoo, I know." Wuming said, "By the way, do you want me to help you solve the academy, so that the entire lake area will be up to you."

"It's not necessary." Lani said, "The stars and the moon have never been in harmony, but why did the academy subdue? And why now even if they betrayed, they only dare to imprison the mother?"

"Because of cowardice?" Wuming guessed.

"That's right." Lani said flatly, "Scholars are cowardly. I just don't want to care about them. Anyway, my mother is safe under their captivity."

Wuming said: "Are you saying that you have the ability to make the lake area peaceful, but you won't do it?"

"Do you have an opinion?" Lani glanced at him.

"No problem, anyway, we are very good at defense." Wuming took out a potion bottle, "Ask me again, what kind of potion is this?"

When Lani saw the potion, she was a little disgusted:

"Sylvis' puppet potion, the dirty research of transforming the soul and turning the body into a puppet."

"You seem very unhappy?" Wuming said, "Aren't you a puppet yourself?"

Lani said: "When I had a human body, Kamito's body was more like a puppet than the current puppet body. In order not to become a puppet, I would rather become a puppet."

Wuming looked at the bottle of potion:

"So this potion is not a good thing?"

"Silves will turn people into puppets, and take them home to taste and play with them carefully. Do you think it's a good thing?" Lani asked back.

"Then why did you find Nefeli?" Wuming was curious, "Do they know each other?"

"I don't know. I'm not responsible for solving problems other than magic, and I don't bother to understand." Lani said, "I've helped you enough, now it's up to you to fulfill your promise."

Lani drove Wuming out, leaving Lataen behind.

Leave anonymously and leave them alone.

Although there was a fight as soon as we met, we are a family after all.

Always play a family ethics drama.

Lataen looked at Lani's small body shrunk in the observatory, and sat on the ground:
"You have become so short now, do you regret it?"

"What kind of regret are you asking?" Lani said in a cold voice, "If you understand regret, it refers to what I would choose if time went back, then I will still do that. It's just that if there is a chance to do it again, I will save more money. Lots of power."

Lataen sighed: "You are still so stubborn, and you never admit defeat."

"Otherwise?" Lani said, "Should I cry and wait for others to pity me? My mother has been complaining for so long, crying today and tomorrow, will any man come back to see her?"

Ratan was silent for a long time when he heard his mother.

"How's mother?" he asked.

"Very good, enjoying myself in the cage, studying the secret technique of rebirth every day, thinking about how to see the child again." Lani's words were thorny,
"I advise you not to think about seeing her. My mother is very happy now, and there are many children with her. If she really gets better, do you think she can bear the current situation? Her husband has never visited her, and the children are all sick. People are ghosts—”

In the middle of speaking, Lani looked at Rataen:
"You're fine."

Ratan said: "Thanks to that merchant. Maybe he has the power to break the tragic fate."

"I hope so..." Lani echoed in a low voice.

Ratan looked at Lani's depression and said:
"What about you? You are so clear about your mother's situation, but what about your own situation?"

"Me? I'm fine." Lani said.

"It's not very good to cooperate with Wuming so easily, given your personality." Latan said, "How many people do you have?"

Lani huddled on the observatory, her chin retracted into the cloak: "Blazer and Iggy are both loyal."

"No more? Just two?" Ratan said.

"There's also a fader, he's a nice guy." Lani said, "Servis has no good intentions to follow me, but he can use it."

"That's good?" said Ratan.

"I'm destined to walk in the dark, and I will give up everything in the end." Lani said, "It's normal that no one wants to follow me."

Ratan looked at the body of the little girl's puppet.

Even if it's just a carved face, you can still see the awe-inspiring and stubbornness in it.

Latarn said: "You said that you can solve the academy at any time, you are bluffing people. If you show your identity, many people will flock to you. You are no worse than me in terms of the level of public criticism."

Lani looked up at the bright moon at a 45-degree angle, and the arc of the full moon cast a trace of sadness on her sapphire-like face.

"How about you marrying that businessman?" Ratarn suggested, "Political marriage can significantly improve your combat power."

Lani's sadness disappeared, and she coughed a few times as if she was choking on saliva.

She turned her head with a strange expression on her face, staring wide-eyed and small-eyed at Ratan.

Over the royal observatory, four more comets broke through the sky.

=========
Millicent carried the platinum old man Elpas on his back, and went up the mountain road under his guidance.

Elpas was a little ashamed:

"It's really troublesome for you to let you touch my defiled body."

"It's okay, I was plagued by a serious illness in the past, and I couldn't contact others." Millicent walked steadily, "I understand you very well."

Elpas said:
"You are such a good person. Before you meet the elder, I want to tell you something first, lest you be frightened by our defiled appearance."

Millicent said, "Doesn't the elder look the same as the old gentleman?"

"The elders are wiser than we are, older, weaker, and on the verge of death," said El Pas.

"The old disease that makes the body fade away?" Millicent said, thinking of her own rotten disease.

"Originally, our legs are the lifeline. When the legs disappear, our lives come to an end." Alpass said, "But the sons of Platinum have been looking for a solution. We are also constantly improving, from the first generation of Platinum Son, to the second generation, to the third generation where there will be no more serious diseases... We have been doing experiments for the continuation of Platinum. The elder is a wizard in this field..."

In the deepest part of the mountain road, there is a small wooden house in a remote corner, very small.

Millicent put Alpass down, knocked on the door three times for him, and then pushed the door open.

The door was not locked. In the deepest and darkest place at the top of the mountain road, a thin and wizened figure was hung by a rope opposite the door, shrouded in shadow, like an offering to ghosts and gods.

That is the elders.

The elder was the same as the platinum old man outside, with the same pale face and white hair, the same skinny and shriveled, and the same dull eyes, without the blessing of gold.It's just more emaciated and shrunken than the old people.

He lost two and a half limbs, leaving only one left arm and half of his right leg.

Without any support, it has to be hoisted to keep it upright.

Seeing the elder with only half of his right leg and one left arm, Millicent stroked his severed arm, feeling familiar.

"Elpas, who did you bring?" the elder said, his voice hoarse and weak, and it was difficult to open his eyes.

"Elder, this is Millicent." Elpas crawled over, "She saved the Platinum Sons from Baier, and saved you."

The elder coughed and smiled:

"Thank you, hero, please forgive me for not being able to salute."

"No need." Millicent quickly waved her hand, "I didn't do it to get thanks."

"Master Hero, we will entertain you with the highest courtesy." The elder thanked Millicent.

The elder looked at El Pas:
"Elpas, what happened to that experiment?"

Elpas replied:

"It's almost ready. When Letina comes back, we can test the results."

"That's good, that's good..." The elder sighed with satisfaction and closed his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes again:
"Master Hero, please go and enjoy the feast of victory first. Your sacrifice is too heavy. To save us, you actually broke an arm. We have nothing to repay..."

"Don't worry about it, it ain't just broken," said Millicent.

Thinking that both she and Platinum Son had misunderstood the reason for the severed limb, Millicent wanted to laugh inexplicably.

The same is trapped by chronic diseases, the same broken limbs, and the same has to go to the holy tree.

Millicent felt as if it was fate that had brought her here.

It's no wonder that I feel sympathy for the sons of platinum.

Millicent carried Elpas on her back again, ready to attend the banquet in Platinum Village.

"Master Hero." The elder said suddenly, and stopped Millicent at the door, "After the banquet, I hope you can bring me a meal, after all, I am unable to move."

"No problem." Millicent said, "I'll bring it to you when it starts, it won't taste good if it's cold."

Elpas smiled on Millicent's back:

"That's what the elder means by inviting you to have a private discussion."

Millicent was stunned, and asked subconsciously:
"Private discussion? Talk about what?"

Seeing the helpless look on the elder's face, she remembered what it meant to discuss privately, and closed the door embarrassingly.
