Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Se Lian was put back in the cradle by the Full Moon Queen.

What's the bad news? Se Lian obviously didn't need to wait as long as Wuming did, and asked directly about the bad news.

Your soul is stained with the fate of death, and the starry sky is locked again. Wuming said.

What's the good news?

But your life hangs in the balance.

You call this good news?

It's a good thing to be alive.

Se Lian held her chin and thought for a few seconds:

It's better to let the stars circulate again. Although it's a pity that I can't explore the mysteries of the stars in person, if the entire stargazing art stagnates because of me, I will have no choice but to die...

Se Lian's reaction was calm and quick, Wuming looked sideways:

So decisive?

Otherwise? Se Lian said, Desperate? Howling? Howling? I don't want to leave such an ugly appearance in front of Queen Kallia.

You are a bit too extreme. Wuming said, You can do other research first, such as your research on the Crystal Sect. Where is your Serui?

Se Rui is broken, and there is no progress. Ser Lian said, The most important thing is that my personal research cannot be allowed to override the stargazing skills of the entire border area.

Wuming scratched his head: This unlucky kid, why can't he get enough food and salt...

Wuming held Se Lian's hand: I just built you a big observatory. It won't be a waste if you lose it.

Equipment will not be wasted, Topps can also be used. Se Lian said, But as long as I am alive, the observatory is really useless.

Can you be a little angry? Wuming was annoyed, Aren't you a rare talented girl in the academy?

The little puppet jumped into Se Lian's arms and shook her shoulders:

Then with the heroic aura of Latarn's broken star, do research more important than all stargazing! Find a new path of exploration, or find a way to break the fate of death!

Se Lian's body was still a little numb after lying for a long time, and she was a little dizzy from being shaken by the little puppet.

You... don't want me to die? Se Lian said.

You let me see the sun. Wuming said, Of course I don't want you to die.

Wuming solemnly clenched his fists and looked up at the light projected from the dome of the big library:

“I don’t want to see the person who made me see the sun unable to see tomorrow’s sun again!”

Se Lian was a little confused by Wu Ming's complicated sentence structure, and she thought about it for a while before she understood.

Se Lian smiled: I thought that if you were looking for a reason, you would also look for a reason like I can help you earn runes so you don't want me to die.

Of course this is one of the reasons. Wuming said, Don't think about death casually. If you dare to terminate the labor contract at will, I won't pay you wages - don't forget, you are not the boss yet.

Se Lian held her forehead, not knowing what to say.

She saw the Full Moon Queen looking at her with a smile.

Although you don't want me to die. But thinking about never being able to explore the origin, and having this woman see me in such a mess...

Se Lian couldn't let go: That is my lifelong mission and dedication, how could I stop it...

Exploring the stars, is it really that important? Queen Full Moon said.

certainly.

For this, you are willing to sacrifice your life?

I don't want to repeat it again. Se Lian said, Queen of the Full Moon, let your son lift the seal of the starry sky. Although you killed me, Yuanliu will not perish. People cannot get rid of the desire for the stars. Origin , sooner or later it will be revived. People will eventually become children of the shining star...

The Queen of the Full Moon said: I just want to ask you again. After all, you were close to death at that time, and now you still have the choice to live. Only when people have choices can they show their wishes.

The Queen of the Full Moon knelt down and stared at Se Lian's starry eyes with her bright eyes like the full moon: You chose the stars.

Of course I will choose the stars. Se Lian raised his head proudly, with calmness and heroism, ready to die happily.

Man Yue smiled and stood up:

Latan, go find Lani. She should have a way to undo Se Lian's destined death.

Madam, why didn't you tell me earlier that your daughter had this special power? Wuming breathed a sigh of relief.

I want to see her will. Man Yue looked at Se Lian, And I want to tease her.

You look down on me? Se Lian glared at Man Yue, You want to give me charity?

Then are you willing to endure charity from your enemies for the sake of the ideal of origin? Queen Full Moon smiled.

Se Lian covered her heart, feeling so angry that her heart ached.

Covering her chest, Se Lian suddenly realized that the crystal in her hand was gone.

She held out her hands, both hands intact.

Your seal was placed by the college. I have asked Haimo Classroom to unlock the seal for you. Man Yue said, I will mediate the conflict between you and Haimo Classroom. In the future, you are not allowed to use people for experiments, and Haimo Classroom will also I won’t trouble you again.”

Does this count as mediation? Se Lian said, I was the first to make trouble.

It was you who pursued Origin first. Man Yue said, You hold a grudge against me because my two mentors, Azler and Lusett, were kicked out of the academy. Naturally, Professor Haimo can also hold a grudge against Origin because his mentor was killed. .”

She is worthy of being a queen who can fall in love with her enemies on the battlefield. Se Lian said, What kind of love and peace do you want to pursue? Is this the condition to save my life if I stop pursuing the origin?

I didn't stop you from pursuing the origin. Queen Full Moon said, Xiao Selian, you are too naive, and you always think of magic. But when you use Celia's method to study magic, you are destined to be fascinated by other magics. division hunt. You lost the hunt, that's all. And if you're going to continue that way of research, you're going to lose again - you can't defeat me, and you and Azle Luthet combined, too. Can’t defeat me.”

Domineering! Wuming applauded.

Where are you from? Se Lian glared back at Wu Ming.

If you can't beat her, you just can't beat her. Wuming said calmly, The opponent is the Queen of the Full Moon, the pinnacle of magicians, and there is a demigod son next to her. How can we negotiate terms?

Wuming said: We want to negotiate with the Full Moon Queen on an equal footing, so maybe we can only do this - Burke, come here!

What's the matter, boss? Burke walked over.

The little puppet wrapped around Burke and put one hand against the little monkey's neck: Ha! Queen of the Full Moon, your son is in my hands. Madam, you don't want anything to happen to your son, right? Then obediently agree to our conditions. .”

What are you doing? Se Lian was stunned.

I'll show you the only way I can think of. Wuming let go of Burke and said to Se Lian, And didn't you promise me not to pursue the origin for the time being? How come you are not willing to let go when you come to the Queen of the Full Moon? ?”

Se Lian's face was a little red, and she seemed unwilling to say these words to Wuming. She was holding back all the words in her mouth and could only stare at Wuming.

The Full Moon Queen just watched Se Lian's reaction with interest:

Children are quite rebellious.

I'm not a child! Se Lian said.

Lenara didn't say anything more: Okay, I still have things to do, so I won't play with you for now - Latarn, you go find your sister.

Just in time, I also want to go see the Kaliya royal family and talk about business matters. Wuming said, I'll go with Latarn.

I am the queen of Kallia, just tell me directly. Man Yue said, walking out of the big library.

That's it. My caravan previously cooperated with the Kaliya royal family and had silk business dealings, but the demand has dropped significantly recently. I would like to come and have a look. Wuming walked side by side with the Full Moon Queen and told her request.

Wuming thought about walking side by side with the Full Moon Queen, showing equal status. But his short puppet body made him look like a child running around in front of his mother.

Se Lian couldn't stand it any longer, so she hugged Wu Ming and stood beside the Full Moon Queen. Although he's still a few heads shorter, at least he doesn't look like a toddler anymore.

The Full Moon Queen nodded to show her understanding:

I'll ask you a question and give you an answer later.

Actually, there is one more thing about the academy. Wuming said, I dare to hope that the isolation of the academy from the world can be lifted. Now that the Shattered War is coming to an end, the Junction is in dire need, as the Magic Center of the Junction. , always recharge your batteries, it’s time to show off your fangs. Opening the academy now will be of great benefit to the development of the academy, Queen.

The Full Moon Queen smiled: You want to use the Taoist Academy to facilitate your transportation?

Yes. Wuming said calmly, This is a win-win situation for both of us.

Do you know what I'm going to do now? said the Full Moon Queen.

Wuming was stunned: Could it be...

This seal has indeed existed for too long, and it should be removed. Queen Full Moon walked gracefully, with unquestionable majesty, and decided the future direction of the college in one sentence.

Okay! Wuming cheered and said to Se Lian who was holding him, This queen is good and can handle her!

After walking for a while, Wuming discovered that Man Yue did not go to those classrooms or the gathering square, nor did he notify the professors in each classroom of the meeting.

Where are we going? Wuming asked, Aren't we going to inform them?

No need. Full Moon Queen said.

The stars follow the full moon and surround it. The Full Moon Queen just walked quietly on her own road, and soon the professors and leaders from all major classrooms gathered behind the Full Moon Queen.

Queen Full Moon, who had regained her sanity, stopped the turmoil between the academy and Du Juan at the first opportunity, and then returned to the big library with Boxer Lian.

The students waited anxiously for the Full Moon Queen's next move.

Will they be purged because of the academy's betrayal? Will all the children be killed because of their serious injuries?

No one knows, we can only wait.

Therefore, when the Full Moon Queen came out of the big library, everyone followed the Full Moon Queen tacitly, waiting for the verdict and the release of new policies, so that they could react immediately.

The Queen of the Full Moon walked through the entire college, circled the college, and walked from the big library on the top floor to the main entrance of the college located below the big library.

Two magic arrays were quietly suspended in the air. With this seal, the south gate and east gate of the college are completely sealed, blocking all enemies. The Open College, which was originally the central axis of the Lake District connecting various places, has since become isolated from the world.

Lady Lenara? A professor finally couldn't stand the silence all the way and asked the Queen of the Full Moon.

After hearing this, Lenara turned around, looked at the many professors and apprentices following her, and said:

I am ready to restart the college's external exchanges.

But Shattered War... Some apprentices subconsciously objected.

I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm informing you. The Full Moon Queen's eyes showed a cold light, You have imprisoned yourself and me for too long.

After telling them that they were betrayed and imprisoned by the academy, the apprentices did not dare to say anything more.

Morally, they are clearly untenable.

Moreover, the apprentices also know that less than half of the demigods involved in the Broken War are the children of this queen. If she was not crazy, it is not certain whether this broken war can be fought.

War obviously does not scare the queen who once shook the golden tree.

The people from the Magic Academy thought for a while and soon stopped trying to struggle.

Just like when the full moon conquered the academy, no one can disobey her.

The professors briefly discussed and then bowed their heads to the full moon:

Master Dean, we agree. We will return to the academy, ring the bell in the bell tower, and ask them to cut off the energy supply of the magic circle and dismantle the magic circle.

It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Lenara said.

Before the magicians present could react, the bright moonlight had already shone onto their faces, making their white plaster masks look particularly pale.

Everyone raised their heads like devout believers looking up at the golden tree.

The full moon has arrived.

A bright full moon that was as big as the main entrance of the academy pressed down from the dome, and many apprentices were almost frightened by the sight of the huge silent body flying in the air.

The huge full moon slowly pressed down, seeming to touch the magic circle that diffused around the academy. A huge torrent of magic power surged toward the full moon, roaring in an attempt to expel the invading foreign object.

But the magic power disappeared in front of the full moon. The hexagonal sealing magic circle composed of triangles was like a crispy biscuit in front of the full moon, dissolving and disintegrating, making a cracking sound.

The sealing formation, which was built with the strength of the entire school and allowed the school to sleep peacefully during the Shattering War and resisted countless armies, was crushed by Man Yue alone.

The long-closed door in the distance made a harsh opening sound, screaming for the silent apprentices present, and together with the huge full moon hanging above everyone's heads, announced the return of the Full Moon Queen Lenora.

Good! Amazing! She is worthy of being a queen who can compete with the Golden King City! Wuming was the first to react and applauded Lenara, But queen, I have just one question - can this forbidden magic array be used as a teleportation array? The bridge to the royal city has collapsed. Without the teleportation array, how will the convoy cross? Wouldn't this be more troublesome?

Lenara was silent. She thought about it and suggested:

Let Latan use gravity magic to repair the bridge first?

What a great idea! Wuming immediately agreed, As expected of the Queen of the Full Moon, she is really smart!

Wuming stood at the main entrance of the college, looking at the bright and unobstructed lake area: Now that the seal is gone, we can come and go freely. I will inform my caravan first, and I will see you later.

Wuming jumped out of Se Lian's arms and prepared to walk to the Dikdas lift.

I'm coming with you. Se Lian followed.

Aren't you waiting for Lani here? Wuming asked, Undoing your destined death.

I'm with you. Se Lian repeated.

Seeing Se Lian's insistence, Wu Ming left the academy with her.

Se Lian disliked Wu Ming's slow walking, so she picked him up again and strode out.

Feeling the force squeezing his body and hearing the squeaking sound of the iron bars being squeezed, Wuming said:

You're in a bad mood. Just wait. Lani will unlock your destined death, and you can explore the stars again.

Se Lian didn't respond, just walked forward silently with Wuming.

It's very gorgeous, that full moon. Se Lian said.

It's very strong. Wuming nodded.

She used the full moon to conquer the academy. Even the origin magic of Masters Azler and Lusett could not compete with it. Se Lian was a little lonely, The path of origin is just like the magic circle. The full moon was destroyed—she was too strong.”

Se Lian laughed at himself: I regard such an opponent as an enemy. It's ridiculous...

Aren't you also the most talented woman in the history of the academy? Wuming said.

But there's still a long way to go. Se Lian, who had lost his hood, hung his head, and the humid mist from the lake area wetted his bangs.

In short, seeing the full moon is too strong and makes me autistic. Wuming concluded.

Yeah, I'm autistic. Se Lian admitted with a broken heart.

But he seemed unwilling to admit defeat, and his eyes were bloodshot with hatred:

The starry sky is blocked, and I am restrained by the destiny of death, unable to pursue the origin. In the end, I have to rely on the enemy for help. The enemy doesn't even take me seriously...

Se Lian finally couldn't hold it anymore and tears fell down:

The most unwilling thing is that when I saw the full moon, I knew I couldn't win. No matter how strong I am or how I refuse to accept it, I haven't understood that kind of magic, and I can't break the academy's seal alone...

You can also do other research. Wuming said.

Speaking of this, Se Lian could no longer hold back any longer and cried loudly:

I haven't even done a good job in the research on the Crystal Sect, and there has been no progress in exploring the wisdom in the stone. Queen Full Moon's child has learned origin magic, but my child is still mentally retarded and broken!

I'm sorry, I'm a useless witch. Se Lian said to Little Pearl.

Wuming didn't know what to say. I always felt that after Se Lian took off his hood, he felt a subtle sense of decadence, as if he would crawl to the ground and turn into a wild hammer snake the next second.

Why don't you go to Yatan to relax first? Maybe there will be new progress. Wuming said, My apprentice just left, and my caravan lacks combat power. You are at least good at fighting, right?

Se Lian said nothing, acquiescing to Wu Ming's arrangement.

Wuming took Serian to the camp in front of the Dickdas elevator, informed the staff there that the academy's seal had been lifted, and then took Serian up to the Yatan in the elevator.

Are you still at the original camp? Se Lian asked.

We are heading north again, to Windmill Village. Wuming said, You don't know how busy we are during this period. When you were in danger before, my caravan was also attacked, and my body was torn to pieces. It’s a piece of cake…”

Wuming told Se Lian about the caravan being attacked by insects.

There is something like this... Se Lian heard this and looked at the little puppet in her arms, I caused you to be dismembered. I'm sorry I'm a bad teacher...

As long as the result is good, Wuming said, I have full trust in my employees and partners. Whether it's Patch or you, you will definitely be able to create more value. Even the dependents of corruption have their own Isn’t it useful? I still have a lot of bugs alive.”

The life of an insect... Se Lian muttered.

Yes, do you also think that I shouldn't keep the bug alive? Wuming said, I have a bit of a hoarding habit, and I am always reluctant to throw away the things in my hands. Sometimes it is clear that using something can solve the problem better, but I just can’t bear to use it, haha. As a result, I have a lot of things in my pocket. Fortunately, now that I am a businessman, these things have a use, and the savings are not in vain...

You said that Gewei can't die no matter what, right? Se Lian said.

Yes, to be precise, Gewei is not the name of a corrupt dependent individual, so killing a few bugs will not affect Gewei. Just like pulling out a hair of yours will not affect your appearance. Wuming Said, The bugs are quite smart. The crafting level of those weapons is no worse than our blacksmiths.

Smart... Serian's dim eyes once again lit up with stars, You won't let me experiment on people, right?

That will definitely not be allowed. Don't do anything that is not conducive to unity. Wuming said, I believe that immortals can also become kings. It is not economical to kill too many people.

Se Lian didn't listen to the long speech behind Wu Ming and asked directly:

Can we experiment with insects?

Insects... can also be made into star seeds? Wuming was suspicious.

No, it's not the study of origins, it's the research of Se Rui. Se Lian said, The wisdom that emerges from the insect swarm, the wisdom in the stone...

Se Lian's eyes were wide open, and he was mumbling broken words incoherently. It seemed that certain ideas were constantly colliding in Se Lian's mind.

Hurry up, where are they? Where are the swarms of insects? Selian led Wuming and ran in the direction of the caravan.

I finally found a way to explore the wisdom in the stone...
