Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

There are broken branches everywhere at the foot of the golden tree, and the golden leaves are spread all over the court hall, covering the ruins with a sickly thickness. You don't even have to look up to know how many leaves the golden tree has lost. Above the ruined court hall, two figures, one large and one small, were sitting obediently on the ground. Next to the figures, the ferocious King of Omen was roaring.

What do you think?! Mengt's eyes widened angrily, and he angrily scolded his father, Godfrey and Wuming, Can that level of power be released at will? Are the lives of people so unimportant in your eyes? ! With such a commotion, the neighbors don’t have to sleep? They have to go to work tomorrow!

Wu Ming and Ge Fulei were sitting obediently with awkward expressions.

Son, daddy is wrong. Godfrey chuckled, It's not like seeing a master, making your hands itchy and forgetting that there are people below. You also know that I don't care about it when I fight. Don't be angry, either. Dad will try to control it as much as possible from now on.

Menggert suddenly lost his temper when he saw Godfrey, the King of War and King of Elden, being so humble. After all, he was his father, and he was a father whom he respected very much. He had reprimanded him out of anger. Now that Godfrey admitted his mistake, his anger disappeared like melted butter along the hole in his heart, and he didn't Well, nothing more to say.

Mengt could only look at Wuming.

Wuming noticed Menggete's eyes and also showed a good attitude:

Son, daddy——

Who is your son! Menggert interrupted Wuming.

Oh, I'm sorry, I copied it wrong. Wuming said, Forgive me, the great King Elden said it very well. I just want to pick up on others' wisdom, and I will say whatever others say.

I see you have no repentance. Menggert glared at Wuming.

It's not my fault. Wuming said unjustly, I didn't want to fight, your father forced me to fight.

Wuming grabbed his shoulder with one hand and turned his head, looking like a chaste and loyal girl who had been raped:

I have refused - it's all thanks to your dad.

Wuming didn't touch the pot at all, which made Mengt so angry that he wanted to stab him with a big spear.

If I couldn't beat you, I would kill you right now. Menggert pointed at Wuming.

No, you are so angry that you are confused now and your leg is injured. Be careful not to fall. Wuming said, Let's leave now.

That won't work. This time it was Godfrey's turn to quit, I haven't had enough of it yet.

Aren't you satisfied yet? Menggert glared at Godfrey, not forgetting to use honorifics.

Godfrey rubbed his fists nonchalantly: Son, you also have to understand Dad's difficulties. We men in the highlands always have impulsive moments - there are always a few days a month when we want to tear something alive.

No! Mengt said firmly.

Wuming also echoed: Lao Lu, you have to listen to your son. Your son is right.

Ge Fulei said: Why don't we go out and fight?

Where to go? Wuming and Menggete said in unison, with obvious displeasure in their tone.

Outside the royal city, there is a great place where the Yatan and the Lake District meet. How can we not have an arena? Ge Fulei said.

You are the King of Elden, and you have to sit in the royal city. Menggert said.

King Elden has decided that you will be King Rodel. Godfrey said, I think you are doing a good job.

I am the son of evil omen, how can I be the king? Menggert said, Stop joking.

You are my son too, why can't you be my son? Ge Fulei said, Go away and let's go fight.

Ge Fulei picked up Wu Ming and prepared to leave.

The border area is now full of vitality. Where can we fight? Listen to your son. You have to pay attention to the impact. Wuming said, I still have to take over your mission. Let's compare notes and let the vast gold What do the people think when they see it? It’s exposed.

If we fight, doesn't it mean we are enemies? Godfrey didn't take it seriously and insisted on fighting.

Menggert stopped in front of Godfrey and wanted to say something, but Godfrey pulled him and started spinning like a top.

I can listen to my son's instructions obediently, but if I try hard enough, my son still can't stop me.

This indeed echoed what Mengt said to Pachiseroux - they could not really influence the king's actions. People without power cannot really influence those with power.

Wait, I have something to say. Wuming raised his hand in Menggert's hand to speak.

Don't say you won't fight anymore, Godfrey said.

I—— Wuming hesitated a little now.

Just as he was hesitating, Serothio and Patch caught up.

Serothio glanced at Godfrey, faced Mengt, and raised his voice so that the whole audience could hear:

There's bad news.

Are there any more casualties? Mengt asked.

There are no casualties. You stopped it very quickly. Although the house is still in danger, everyone ran to the open space and nothing will happen.

What bad news is that? Mengt asked.

When we came up, we found that there was a problem with the sewers. Serothio said. It seems that the prison in the sewers was damaged by the vibration. Many of the prisoners held inside may have escaped.

There should be all the Children of Omen in there. Menggert said.

Selosiu nodded: And several of the exits are the wellheads and drainage outlets leading to the royal city. The golden people are all outside now. If they come out... let alone the killings and curses, it will just cause panic. Many people will be trampled to death.

Menggert looked at Ge Fulei and asked in a deep voice:

Everyone is scared now. It's just when we need you. Do you still want to leave?

This... Godfrey looked at Wuming in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed. It seemed that he was afraid that he might turn into a mouse and run away if he held some kind of delicacy, a peerless beauty, or a delicious duck neck.

Lao Lu, let's do this. Wuming finally spoke, I just wanted to say, wait a minute.

Wait? Ge Fulei asked.

I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet. Wuming said, I have a way to get the best of both worlds.

Speak quickly. Ge Fulei put Wuming down.

Wuming tidied up his armor: Everyone is fighting for the fragments of the Great Rune, and the fragments of the Great Rune are still coveted by many people. Neferi wants to take the fragments back to Nimgofu, and I have to deliver them to her. Escort her to safety. Go back, you don’t want Neferi to die on the way back.”

What's the best of both worlds? Godfrey asked.

Did you enjoy the fight? Wuming looked at him.

Of course I'm not happy, where are we now? Godfrey said, You're not at this level, are you? I don't believe it.

Wuming smiled: The person I want is in prison. It would be bad if he ran away. You go and catch him. When I come back, we will have a good fight.

Is it as good as it is? Godfrey said, Okay!

One more thing. Wuming looked down at the royal city below the court, Rodel, you are a bit broken.

The royal city of Rodel is indeed magnificent, but after several battles, the outer wall was breached by giant dragons, and the debris and dust from the trebuchets in the Broken War clouded the gold. There are still thick ashes in the outer city, and a fire burned somewhere. Many places collapsed into the ground and leaked.

At this moment, after the aftermath of the battle between Ge Fulei and Wuming, there are more and more dangerous buildings.

Wuming said: Our caravan is contracted for construction business.

Let's talk about Rune. Ge Fulei felt that Wuming was a little boring.

Wuming smiled: Before I come back, I'll send all the residents away, demolish them and rebuild them. As for who will demolish them...

Oh? Ge Fulei understood and smiled.

There are people in other places, so it's not safe. Wuming said, Here in the royal city, let's have a good fight.

Godfrey smiled and walked towards Mongote and picked him up:

Come on, let's catch mice.

Ge Fulei didn't say anything about seeing off the guests, and just ignored Wu Ming. He took Mengt, one of whom was responsible for stabilizing people's hearts, and the other of whom went to the sewers to arrest people.

Wuming didn't bother anymore, and simply left with Nefeli and others, embarking on the way back.

You shouldn't fight him, and it's best not to agree to him. Patch said, The wounded caused by your battle will hate us and worship Godfrey.

It's a bit irrational. Wuming looked at his palm, Probably... I still want to fight.

Patch took a deep look at Wuming:

You can't be so willful.

Several people left along the secret road they came from, left the royal city, and went their separate ways. Wuming didn't go back, and took Nefeli directly to Nimgefu.

It's not necessary. Neferi was a little uncomfortable with all the care she received. You even specially escorted me. I'm really not that weak. Even if I'm not as good as you, there aren't many people in the world who are stronger than me.

I know, but I not only want to send you back, but also bring people back. Wuming said, That Ser Rui is Ser Lian's heart, you thought it was given to you. If you don't take it back to her, she will I have a falling out. In addition, I need to take a closer look at Nimgefu’s business, and it will always be over.”

Okay, it's okay if you don't escort me. Neferi said.

I'm escorting you. Wuming said, Put away the big rune fragment that was given to you. When we get there, we will discuss with Hyde to see how to distribute it.

Nefeli was about to get upset when she saw Wuming was quite serious: Nimgefu is a place with great potential. If it weren't for the big rune of Racade, the biggest piece should be given to you instead of Full Moon. . I am very optimistic about the potential of Nimgofu, and my base has always been there. I hope you can manage it well.

Nefeli touched her nose: I know, you don't need to tell me. I also have my own beliefs to practice.

It's good to know. There is a group of robbers ahead. Go and deal with them. Wuming said.

There's really a robbery going on. Neferi raised her arms, picked up the ax, and went up.

They were just ordinary robbers. Facing the strength of the King of Neferi, they were like a chicken and a dog, and were quickly overthrown.

You have also seen that many people covet power. If they can't get the Great Rune, they will covet the fragments of the Great Rune. When they go back, they should separate them as soon as possible, and don't give others a chance to miss them.

How about we disguise ourselves a little bit? Neferi suggested.

Good idea. Wuming used light magic to cast illusions on himself and Nefeli, turning them into different appearances.

Sure enough, the effect was outstanding, and no one encountered any trouble or robbery along the way.

The two of them returned to Stone City.

As soon as I came back, I saw from a distance that Shidong City was bustling with activity, the costumes were obviously different, and the gongs and drums were loud.

What are you doing? Neferi was curious.

You ask me? You are the king here. Wuming said.

You have the nerve to say that. Neferi's tone was unkind and her eyes were filled with resentment. I haven't walked around the city for a long time. It's all because of you.

Patch, it's Patch. Wuming corrected her.

Forget it, just ask someone. Neferi took a relaxed and happy step and found someone to pat her shoulder. Why is the city so lively? What festival is being held?

The man was frightened when he was photographed, but he quickly reacted and replied:

Oh, it's the funeral of City Lord Neferi.

Clam?

===========

In the round table hall, Baozhi walked out from the two-fingered throne and sighed.

It was another mysterious exchange. Even he found Shuangzhi's ancient words obscure and difficult to understand. Baizhi always had the feeling that Shuangzhi's thoughts were very confusing.

Perhaps this is why Finger's thinking is so difficult to figure out... Momochi murmured.

There was a stabbing pain in the chest, making Bai Zhi stand up.

He took off his helmet and upper body, revealing an old face with thin white hair and red eyes. Although his face was full of wrinkles, it could be seen that Bai Zhi was quite handsome when he was young.

His chest was wrapped in cloth and blood was oozing out.

Colin, treat me again. Sir Bai Zhi called the treatment service in the Round Table Hall.

This injury is really deep. Colin said.

You can't see it, how do you know if it's deep or not. Bai Zhi sat on the seat and said to Colin with a smile.

If it is not healed for such a long time, it will not be serious. The wound is not big to the touch, it should be an arrow wound. Colin said, When did you suffer such a serious injury? I don't know when you went out.

Bai Zhi chuckled: Secret.

But after laughing, Baizhi stopped smiling and gently touched the bloody hole on his chest.

This was the wound he left in Stone City. Damn it, Servais sent out that puppet, and he was hit by an arrow without even dodging it.

The disk in Baizhi's hand vibrated. He gathered his thoughts and stood up on the chair.

Okay Colin, let's go here first. Baizhi said.

You treat it like this for a while and then stop. No wonder it hurts badly. Colin said.

It doesn't matter, I don't need to charge into the battle. Bai Zhi said and returned to his study.

The disc shows the person with the eye badge armor stretched out. Those are Momochi's men, his eyes and ears.

Alpelich failed, right? Momochi said.

The ears and eyes nodded: There is no news now.

Where are our people? Bai Zhi asked.

Failed. Eyes and Eyes replied, Theroxiu is not dead.

It seems that there is no way to sow discord between the royal city and the caravan. Bai Zhi said, Then the unknown merchant rescued the lion? Didn't he take the opportunity to attack the lion?

Theroxiu solved it by himself. It killed all the assassins in one move. Ermu said.

Beast King... Baizhi sighed.

Do you want to continue? Ermu asked.

Forget it. Bai Zhi said, Get all the people back and focus on looking for Mikaela.

It's a pity. I feel like it can be successful. Ermu said unwillingly, It's just a little bit close.

It's not bad... I'm afraid it's not that bad. Bai Zhi said, I always feel that this borderland... is getting better and better as I live.

Sir, what does this mean? Ermu asked.

After the Giant War, the struggle between man and man came, and pure combat power is no longer the only way to win. This is also normal. Beasts pursue civilization, and barbarian kings put on shackles. Fruits will rot, and wonders will become ruins. There will always come At this stage, look at King Radagan. Lienia was unable to capture it for a long time, but it was easily defeated due to emotional injury. It is wonderful. Bai Zhi said, But now... the full moon Ratane has revived, and King Gefulei has returned. These ancient powerful men have returned one after another.

Baizhi touched his chin:

The times...how have they changed back? It's like there are hands pushing back the irreversible trend.

Then what should we do now? Ermu asked.

Perhaps it's time to follow the trend. Bai Zhi said, Since the era of people fighting against each other has disappeared, conspiracy and conspiracy are no longer a force. Only people can be confused by conspiracy.

The ears were a little surprised: Sir, are you serious?

What? Bai Zhi frowned, Do you want to refuse?

I thought you didn't know anything except playing dirty tricks. said the ear and eye.

Baizhi was speechless and a little unhappy:

...I advise you not to underestimate me, 'Sir Bai Zhi', Gideon Ofnir. People like me don't know anything.

The eyes and ears nodded in agreement.

By the way, here's another piece of news. It just came. He opened an envelope and said, Did you know?

What's the matter? Bai Zhi asked.

Stone City, which you asked us to pay attention to during the investigation, has been in a big deal recently, the ears said.

explain.

Your adopted daughter Neferi is dead. said the ears and eyes.

Bai Zhi heard this and had no reaction. He was silent for a moment and waved his hand: Back off first.

The image in the disk disappeared, and Baozhi gently stroked the wound on his chest, feeling a little painful again.
