Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

As long as I can get to that place, as long as I can get to that place...

Leader Du Juan, with a bloody head and a big sword in his hand, ran wildly outside the academy.

As the leader of Dujuan, he knows how to observe words and emotions and judge the situation.

He felt something was wrong when Burke showed his strength. The moment Latarn appeared, he immediately ran away calmly.

What makes the cuckoo leader happy and annoyed is that no one really cares about him. Everyone's attention is attracted by Latan, Black Knife, and the suspected resurrected Full Moon Queen.

Look down on me, wait until I go back and make a comeback...

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

Yatan Plateau.

The nameless caravan had stopped at this time, and the employees were all camping and resting.

At the end of the motorcade, a giant ball of intertwined bugs came to rest next to a coffin.

On the top of the coffin, a handsome magician was cutting the skull of an insect while muttering something.

Se Lian has returned to the caravan with the nameless puppet and is experimenting endlessly.

Se Lian separated the insect's brain and cut open the insect's back, revealing its bloody spine.

Every time Se Lian touches the insect's brain or spine with the pyroxene knife, it will cause the insect to twitch, scream, or expel worm threads uncontrollably.

The screams of the bugs were endless, and blood was sprayed from time to time. All employees stayed away from Se Lian, feeling that this magician who studied bugs with abandon was a bit scary.

Wuming was not afraid of Se Lian. He jumped on the coffin and handed Se Lian a piece of cotton cloth to wipe the blood on her face.

How's the research going? Wuming asked.

Very good, very promising. Se Lian looked at the various tissues in the insect's head with concentration and excitement.

The secret of the birth of the Full Moon Queen, Greg's limb grafting technology, the wisdom in stone, the brain of the insect swarm... all kinds of knowledge bloomed and connected in Se Lian's mind, and her inspiration was almost endless.

Se Lian hadn't experienced the feeling of being so obsessed with research for a long time, and she was so excited that she almost didn't want to talk to Wu Ming.

Remember to eat. Otherwise your body won't be able to hold on. Wuming said.

Sorry. Se Lian didn't want to eat.

Wuming pulled out a piece of worm thread from the worm thread ball next to the coffin, threw it towards the bonfire not far away, fished out a pig leg, tore off the meat, and put it into his mouth.

Se Lian still opened his mouth, chewing the meat while opening the insect's head.

Are you planning to use the insect swarm to simulate the wisdom in the stone? Wuming guessed.

Insects? How can such a weak body carry such powerful wisdom. Se Lian dismissed it, It's just through their brains and the way they connect with each other that they can find a way to dig out the wisdom in the stone.

Are these bugs enough? Do I need to get you some more bugs? Wuming asked. 1

No, these are enough. Se Lian said, Insects are just a material that is easy to study. By understanding their brains, we can compare them with the thoughts in the crystallization.

Se Lian said: As long as the crystallized structures can be connected to each other, just like the connection between swarms of insects, we can make the stone intelligent - extremely intelligent.

Not bad. Wuming nodded, As long as you have something to do.

There are also some by-products. Se Lian showed Wuming, took a pyroxene knife, and pricked a part of the insect's spine. The organ on the insect's spine that secreted silk immediately squeezed out a pool of white liquid, which quickly solidified.

Se Lian showed an evil and gloomy smile: You said these bugs won't cooperate with you? Using this method, you can force them to produce silk.

I knew magicians were of great use. Wuming gave Se Lian a thumbs up and left the pig leg to Se Lian, Remember to eat after you're done.

Wuming jumped off the coffin, let the motorcade continue to move, and told Patch about Se Lian's method of forcibly extracting worm silk.

Not bad. Patch nodded. He looked at the enthusiastic Se Lian on the coffin, It seems she is in good condition.

It's good to have something to do. Wuming said happily, I saw how depressed she looked on the way here, and I thought she was going to die in the next second.

You are really good at observing people's emotions. Patch looked sideways.

After all, in the past, as long as I was doing nothing, I would be close to death. Wuming said, I must pay more attention to the emotions of my employees and make them happy at work and labor.

How to be happy? Patch smiled, To realize your own value?

Wuming thought: Se Lian's research seems to show that people can have different feelings by controlling their brains. Maybe we can let employees stimulate their brains while they work. As long as they work, they will be happy.

You really know how to think of a solution. Patch looked sideways.

I am over-flattered.

Did you ask the Kallia royal family what happened?

The Queen of the Full Moon asked me to ask. Wuming found a compass from the bag and said, Ask, Latarn should inform me.

Just as he was talking, the compass lit up, and Kallia's magical long-distance communication magic array projected light, casting Latarn's tall figure at the feet of the unknown Patch.

Oh, it's coming. Wuming immediately squatted down and looked at Latarn as level as possible, How's it going? Have you notified Lani? Are you coming over? Serian can't leave now. Or can you cancel the fate remotely? The power of death is better that way.”

Latarn was a little serious, and he answered after a while:

Things are a little complicated.

Complicated? Wuming didn't understand, What's so complicated about this?

Where is your caravan now? I'll tell you when we get there.

We're almost at Windmill Village.

Okay. Latane said and cut off the communication.

Wuming and Pachi looked at each other.

Is he going to come here in person? Wuming asked, What is it that deserves him to mobilize so many troops?

It's probably about the Moon Princess. Patch guessed.

Could it be that Lani is unhappy with me and Se Lian and refuses treatment? No way. Wuming said.

Looking at the bright side, maybe she's dead, Patch said.

Wuming nodded in agreement: This way she can avoid the bad reputation of refusing to help others.

Just as he was talking, the caravan stopped.

A group of glamorous old ladies holding sickles and forks stood in front of the windmill village. Behind the old ladies, the Godskin Apostle held a strange-shaped double-headed knife and silently watched the caravan approach.

Is this a flower to welcome us? Wuming ordered the caravan to stop and stepped between the two waves of people.

The old ladies separated, and the Divine Skin Apostle walked out.

The Divine Skin Apostle looked down at Wuming, his eyes hidden in the shadows. Only the Divine Skin on his head looked at Wuming with a pair of eyes.

You're really here, said the Divine Skin Apostle.

You have decided to buy it. Of course I can't neglect it - no, I will deliver it in person. The ring finger pointed at the continuous motorcade behind and the sea of ​​flowers on the carriage.

Wuming smiled and stretched out his hands to the divine skin apostle:

Then ten million runes?

The Godskin Apostle stared at Wuming with sinister eyes and clapped his hands.

Many well-armed and tough warriors immediately emerged from several places in Windmill Village.

The soldiers had different costumes and weapons, and they did not look like regular troops. It was not known where the divine skin apostles collected them from.

The Divine Skin Apostle snorted coldly:

Have you forgotten how we made the deal?

We shook hands and made peace, and the deal was reached very amicably. Wuming said, You also agreed.

The Overlord Clause is not allowed by law! The Divine Skin Apostle pointed condescendingly at Wuming.

Does this count as the overlord clause? Wuming looked at Patch.

Patch did not answer Wuming directly, but just said:

The terms require a strong third party to maintain order. For this group of people, the golden tree does not count as order.

Who said the golden tree is not orderly?! Menggert jumped out when he heard this.

In short, we will not bow to power. The Divine Skin Apostle waved his hand.

On the hillside, several huge siege trebuchets were erected and aimed at the caravan.

The old ladies with wreaths also looked at Wuming viciously:

“How many of our houses did you demolish last time, and do you know how long it took us to repair them?”

The Divine Skin Apostle solemnly announced:

“We are bound to rebel against God with blasphemy—”

Wuming and Pachi covered their foreheads and looked behind the Godskin Apostle with squinted eyes.

What are you looking at? Godskin Apostle asked.

You'll know when you look back. Wuming replied.

The Divine Skin Apostle twisted his waist and looked back like a snake.

On the horizon behind Windmill Village, a meteor flew towards the sky. The meteor dropped along the high slope with a rain of fire. As if the coffin could not control the situation downhill, it swayed left and right, smashing the trebuchets, windmills and houses erected on the high slope.

The fireball bombarded all the way to the caravan, finally landed in the open space, set off a storm, and calmed down.

As the storm cleared, Latarn emerged from the dust with a pony at his hip.

You are making too much noise. Wuming looked at Latan's destruction along the way, The flight was not standardized, and my loved ones were in tears.

Our house! the old ladies exclaimed.

Latarn completely ignored the people in Windmill Village and said to Wuming:

I have something to do with you, and it's urgent.

It's useless for you to be anxious, I have something to do too. The ring finger pointed to the back.

Wuming had to get the 10 million runes he got before talking about anything else.

Wuming looked at the Divine Skin Apostle: What did you just say you wanted to resist?

The Godskin Apostle was silent and stared at Latarn.

Latan also noticed Shenpi and looked back calmly.

The two sides looked at each other for a long time, and the Divine Skin Apostle suddenly bowed and said:

General Latarn, I heard that you have recovered, but I haven't had time to visit you. Congratulations.

Latarn nodded lightly: Do you have a deal with this businessman?

The Divine Skin Apostle looked at Latarn and Wuming:

The general has something to do with this caravan?

Some deals, Latane said.

Understood. The Divine Skin Apostle said, You go and get the runes.

Sir, do you really want to take it? The old lady was surprised, Ten million runes, that's what we saved after skinning for a long time...

Take it. The Divine Skin Apostle sighed, We can't keep these ten million.

It's so honorable. Wuming looked at Latarn in surprise.

I'm doing you a favor, and you have to do me a favor, Latane said.

What's going on? Wuming asked.

Lani is missing, Latane said.

Disappeared? She is a demigod. Wuming was surprised, Are you sure she didn't disappear on her own initiative?

I asked Iggy, and she did leave on her own, Latane said, but there's some bad news.

Latane reached to his lower back and pulled out two sacks.

He opened one of the sacks, revealing a man covered in bruises and with a bloody head.

Isn't this the leader of Dujuan? Wuming recognized him.

He wanted to escape and met my mother's knight Mugram. He was captured alive. He happened to bump into me and I asked him a few questions. Latan grabbed the cuckoo knight and held it in his hand like a doll. This guy revealed some information about why he attacked my mother and why he wanted to... assassinate you.

Latarn exerted force on his hand, and the Cuckoo Knight screamed.

The cuckoo leader vomited blood and showed a sad and crazy smile:

This is revenge. You have offended that adult.

That sir? Who is it? Wuming wondered, I don't remember who I have offended?

Lani intends to rebel against the gods. Leader Du Juan laughed, Stupid demigods, thinking that they can rebel against the gods by getting any god-killing weapons. Unfortunately, they still overestimate their capabilities. And you, you provided help for her. So you also To die.

God? Wuming asked, Malika?

We generally not only respect Queen Malika as a god. Latan explained, Both fingers have the same noble status.

Latarn said: I have already interrogated this guy. From what he said, Lani probably wanted to challenge Two Fingers, but failed. Two Fingers will deal with Lani and free up his strength to deal with you.

So that's it. Why do people always want to target me... Wuming suddenly realized, It's a pity that the Princess of the Moon died like this at such a young age.

He's not dead yet. Latarn glared at Wuming.

Wuming asked: What did the Cuckoo Knight tell you?

Intuition. Latane said, We are brother and sister after all, so we have some sense. I think she is not dead.

Really? Wuming doesn't really believe in things like induction, There is no such mysterious thing in my hometown.

So I'm asking for your help to investigate for me. Latane said, If possible, it's best to help her.

A question. Wuming raised his hand.

explain.

Why are you looking for me? Wuming asked, Why don't you look for your mother for such a big matter?

I just don't want to find my mother, so I'm eager to find you. Latane said, I asked Mugram to hide it from my mother first. But with my mother's sensitivity, I can't hide it for long.

You're not so afraid of your mother, right? Wuming looked sideways, This is related to your sister's life.

This is not fear! Latarn glared at Wuming, The fact that I dare to stand next to my mother means that I am not afraid! ... I am not afraid!

Latarn said: King Godfrey told me that I have to be king-like, and of course I can't escape anymore. It's just that my mother has just recovered, and if she is hit again by the child's incident, I'm afraid she will go crazy again—— Lani is her favorite child.

Then you can go look for it yourself? Wuming said.

I went to find her, but I wouldn't have been exposed immediately, Latane said. I had to go back and stabilize my mother. And to be honest, I might not be able to win.

You may not win? Wuming couldn't believe that these words came from General Broken Star's mouth.

There is corruption. Latan said, With their two fingers, they can call upon the power of the gods and men they support. Destined death and corruption, these golden trees regard the power of the enemy, and they use it indiscriminately. What if I It’s also broken, and my mother will probably go crazy again.”

Is it okay if I go up?

At least you are not afraid of corruption.

After listening to Latarn's explanation, Wuming seemed a little hesitant.

You don't want to help? Latane said.

I'm actually a little worried. Wuming admitted honestly, Look at the virtue of this pair of claws that must be repaid. If I help get a hunting knife, it will kill me. If I help save Lani, won't I? It means that you are completely hostile to Two Fingers, and there may be no reconciliation at all?”

Wuming turned around and asked Patch: How powerful is Two Fingers?

It's all over the border, and even outside the border. Patch said, Basically, wherever you can do business, you believe in Two Fingers.

To be honest, this attack on the academy is the most difficult one I've ever had. Wuming said, If this was the work of Two Fingers, I would not want to provoke such an enemy. We do business and live in the border area. , it’s difficult to offend such an existence.”

Understood, Latane said, but you have sinned against Him. Do you think He will let you go easily?

Latane opened another sack, revealing a portal inside.

When I went back to look for my horse, I found that the Galid bug was a little bit ready to move, and he smashed a few rocks. Latarn said, I also took back the portal you left there, and I took the portal on the other side. I left it at the academy to facilitate your return.

Latane said: How about this? Are you relieved?

What do you think? Wuming asked for Patch's opinion, You are the most timid. Safety issues are up to you.

The Volcano Mansion is causing trouble for us. Patch said, General Rattan, can you ask the Volcano to stop?

They should sell me this face, Latane said.

You're afraid of volcanoes, aren't you afraid of two fingers? Wuming asked Patch.

Double-fingered by that group of priests? Patch said, Don't worry, fuck him, I support you. You don't have to worry about your employees. Do you have normal people under you? Not many people believe in double-fingered, don't worry.

Wuming was almost convinced, but still a little hesitant.

Latarn said: I asked you, it seems that Lani is secretly buying Kaliya's silk.

It seems we have to make a trip now. Wuming adjusted his sword and shield, Lead the way.
