Chapter 164 It’s probably a dog
Ever since Neferi reopened the arena, the Golden People have become more and more powerful, and they were often looking for trouble with the Platinum Sons.
But the situation was never serious. The Platinum Sons stayed in their own neighborhoods and did not go out. The Platinum Sons who occasionally looked for trouble would be kicked out by the Platinum Sons holding cracked pyroxene, so nothing serious happened.
This time the situation was different. Being so provoked by the lords, new and old grudges were settled, and the golden people began to pour into the neighborhood of the Sons of Platinum in large numbers.
The power that came to the Platinum Sons neighborhood this time was beyond the imagination of the Platinum Sons, and several Platinum Sons were killed and injured in one encounter. The Platinum Sons also activated the magic trap that had not been activated before in their shock and anger.
Magical ballistae fell from the sky, bombarding everything around them and blowing the golden people into pieces.
Facing the powerful trap, some fanatical people calmed down and finally stopped. But others became even crazier and rushed towards Platinum's neighborhood without fear of death.
Magical shells spurted out again, blasting towards the golden people who continued to charge.
But the moment the cannonball hit them, a transparent bubble flashed past.
The golden people rushed out from the magic fire and jumped onto the platinum people.
The Platinum Sons were caught off guard and were knocked to the ground one after another. Their soft and fragile bodies were pressed by several people and soon burst and broke.
In the chaotic scene, both sides no longer restrained themselves, and bright red and pale blood flowed.
The Golden People gradually penetrated deeper into the neighborhood, and the obstacles and attacks they encountered became increasingly fierce.
=========
Platinum Sons Neighborhood Center.
Home of the Court of Elders.
Since the vicious dog with the attached limb attacked the elder, the defense here has increased a lot.
But Fan Lei, the culprit, is still next to the elder, and has always been by his side.
His original job at the construction site was cancelled, and he no longer had to undergo torture. Moreover, after being restrained by Letina, he no longer tried to kill the bastard hiding in the shadows.
Even if he had the murderous intention, it would be difficult to kill him. Letina stayed by the elder's side, and Millicent often came here as a guest - like now.
Millicent's arrival is at the request of the elder. The elder is not in good health at this time and hopes to have Letina's arm adjusted to perfection as soon as possible.
The day Letina's arm returns to normal is when the next phase of the experiment begins.
Millicent moved a chair and sat across from the elder in front of the wooden house to exchange limb grafting techniques.
The sound of gunfire came from afar, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"What's going on?" The elder's old voice came from the wooden house.
"The Golden People are attacking," Millicent said.
"Do you want to help?" the elder asked.
"No, the power of the defensive magic circle is enough." Millicent said, "Neferi should be here soon, she can handle it."
"Neferi..." the elder pondered, "What kind of person is she?"
"She is a good person." Millicent said, "She is the only good person who is willing to accept the Son of Platinum. She was also willing to accept me in the Red Lion City. I heard that some people said that she had colluded with the corrupt family because she had been to Galid.
, she didn’t kill the person who spread the rumors. She is a very kind and good person, and she can definitely be a good king."
"A kind and good person..." The elder was silent for a moment, "Millicent, you probably don't think I am a good person."
"Why do you ask that?" Millicent was surprised.
"I got involved in limb grafting technology and turned sinners into deformities. I guess I am also a sinner in your eyes." The elder laughed, and then coughed twice.
Millicent looked at the deformed Van Lei lying next to Letina, thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke:
"My teacher told me this - power is power. Power does not distinguish between good and evil, but depends on where it is used."
Millicent's eyes shifted from Fan Lei to Letina:
"I don't fully agree with you, teacher. I also think what you did is a bit too much...but teacher also has a point. Look at Letina, your skills have yielded good results."
"Your teacher...that businessman?" the elder asked, "So, your teacher is also a good person?"
This time Millicent hesitated and said slowly:
“It’s true that teachers sometimes don’t look like good people, but that’s just not the case.”
The elder laughed and said, "It seems you like your teacher very much."
Millicent blushed a little: "My teacher saved me, he saved me. Of course I must be grateful to my benefactor."
"You are right." The elder agreed, "You must know how to repay your benefactors."
The sound of wind and thunder streaked across the sky, and the artillery fire in the distance gradually stopped.
"It looks like Neferi is here," Millicent said.
The elder was silent for a moment:
"Lord Nefeli...she seems to be having a hard time recently."
"Yes, there are a lot of rumors in the city." Millicent said, "She is obviously good to the residents wholeheartedly, but she is often misunderstood. The expedition team was formed out of good intentions, but just because it failed, everyone spread their grievances.
She was killed—it was obviously someone killed by the lords. Those lords also used Grek as an excuse, saying she was unorthodox."
The elder said: "Millicent, tell me, if you do bad things with good intentions - like Neferi, or do bad things for good intentions - for example, one day you have to receive a limb, how do you think about it?"
Millicent thought for a while: "This problem is too complicated, I don't know."
She said seriously: "I only know that I help you kill the invaders, I am willing to help Neferi, and Neferi is willing to accept the Platinum Sons, all because we believe in the right way. It is precisely because we believe in justice and kindness that we will
Help."
The elder praised her: "...Yes, she is a good city owner for accepting sinners..."
The elder's voice gradually weakened.
Millicent has long been familiar with this habit of the elder. Recently, the elder often falls asleep while talking and falls into a death-like sleep.
She quietly stood up from the table and chair and was about to leave when suddenly there was a bang in the elder's room.
"Elder?" Millicent was alert.
The sound was neither loud nor quiet, like something falling to the ground.
Millicent knew that the elder's body was hanging in the air - couldn't the rope be broken?
"Elder?" Millicent opened the wooden door and walked in without hesitation.
With the help of the light outside the door, Millicent saw the scene in the wooden house and fell silent.
The room was filled with the smell of decay and death, and the elder's last leg was lying quietly on the ground.
The elder who had lost all his limbs was bound by ropes in mid-air, motionless and without breathing. His eyes were half-opened, but there was no brilliance at all.
"Elder..." Millicent was in disbelief and called softly, as if to wake up the sleeping elder.
She approached the elder with a sad expression, placed her head on the elder's wrinkled forehead, and helped the elder close his eyes.
The palm of his hand passed by, and the elder's eyes opened even wider, becoming turbid and pale, and he refused to close his eyes.
Millicent was shocked:
"Are you okay?"
The elder suddenly let out a loud and terrifying snoring, as if he was suddenly awakened, and his breath and vitality returned to his body.
The elder turned his cloudy and pale eyes:
"Oh, Millicent, why did you come in? Is there something wrong?"
"You're asleep," said Millicent.
"Oh, to be honest, I've been very sleepy recently... I feel like I'm going to sleep very deeply, very deeply." The elder looked like he had just come back to his senses.
Millicent whispered: "Elder, your legs..."
The elder paused for a moment, seemed to notice it, and glanced down:
"Oh, it seems I don't have much time."
Hearing what the elder said, Millicent glanced over her head unbearably.
"Did you understand what I said?" the elder said.
Millicent nodded.
"That's good..." The elder calmed down for a while, "Okay, let me stay alone for a while. The sun is a bit dazzling while you are here."
"yes……"
Millicent withdrew, closed the door, and sighed sentimentally.
"Mimi, what's wrong?" Letina asked.
"Elder... he is dying," Millicent said.
