The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 491 Marriage
As time went by, the shock caused by the return of Shadowland gradually subsided.

People are always highly adaptable. No matter how shocking something is, over time, we will get used to it and even think that it is an eternal truth.

The nameless caravan continued to operate in an orderly manner. Just as Serui said, after abandoning the Rune transaction, the caravan operated well and efficiently.

Under Wuming's leadership, Rune gradually disappeared from the caravan's trading system.

The caravan grew stronger and stronger. Now with Wuming as the core and the various forces surrounding him, it has become a force that cannot be ignored. Although the foundation is still shallow, in terms of high-end talents, it has even surpassed the royal forces such as Rodelkalia.

And under Serui's leadership, the growth rate is astonishing.

On this day, Wuming received a message.

It was an invitation from the royal family of Kalia, inviting him to visit the Kalia Castle and serve as a matchmaking priest to baptize newlyweds.

All matters in the caravan were managed by Serui, and Wuming had nothing to do, so he happily went there.

With the portal of Kalia, Wuming changed portals several times and soon arrived at the gate of Kalia Castle.

The Kalia knight Mulitiel came to greet her personally. Ever since the Shadow Land returned to the border and the holy war was completely over, Laelana was completely freed from the heavy burden and went to the Kalia castle with Messemo.

"Who is the connection?" Wuming talked to Mulitier, "Laelana?"

"Ms. Lani and Lady Lailana." Multier puffed out her chest, "I'll be the bridesmaid."

"Lani?" Wuming was puzzled. "Hasn't she been in a relationship with her ex-husband for a long time? Divorced? The divorce rate in your Kalia is very high. I have a relationship guide written by a relationship expert. It can ensure that you think clearly before you get involved, and you can also think clearly when you break up."

"A book on emotional guidance written by the Wisdom in Stone?" Mulitiel had obviously heard of this book before. "Forget it."

"Then maybe Lani is divorced again." Wuming did not give up and continued to sell books in the caravan.

"They have never divorced." Mulittier said, "As for the simple marriage, both Miss Lani and Lady Laelana have already done it. It's just that there has never been a grand enough formal marriage. Lady Laelana said that she wanted to make up for her sister and daughter."

"That's not right." Wuming wondered, "I heard before that Reinara was going to hold a big banquet and invite many guests. When you and Kalia formed a bond, shouldn't you invite Miliye? Why did you invite me?"

When Wuming really met Lenara, he walked all the way to Lenara's side, but did not see any festive decorations or servants busy preparing for a relationship.

Man Yue received Wu Ming in the room. She was the only one sitting there, no one else was there.

"Did you really invite me here just to meet a priest?" Wuming wondered, "I don't think so."

"Sir, you are very perceptive." Man Yue extended her palm and motioned Wuming to sit down, "I want to discuss other things with you."

"What's the matter? Do you have to find a reason to hide it?" Wuming sat on the chair and looked at the full moon.

"I heard your caravan is thriving," Man Yue said, "even replacing Rune."

Wuming smiled and nodded: "It's all thanks to Serei."

Man Yue said: "But there should still be many discrepancies in Serei's calculations, right?"

"I heard that it's because she couldn't get Kalia's data, so she could only estimate." Wuming said.

Lenara nodded: "Kalia wants to cooperate with you and introduce Serei's management style."

Wuming was shocked: "This is a big deal. Are you willing to trust us? Give the data to Serui?"

"I don't believe it." Lenara shook her head. "But we in Kalia are the most knowledgeable about technology. We know that your current model has great potential. Kalia doesn't want to be left behind."

Lenara said: "I also know that it will be difficult to create another Cerri, both in terms of technology and pyroxene reserves. So I hope we can share Cerri, the super wisdom in the stone."

"I'm afraid Serui won't be willing to do that." Wuming said.

"She will definitely agree." Lenara was sure, "I asked her."

"This unfortunate child." Wuming said, "He promised a lot of benefits, right?"

"After all, her goal is to collect more pyroxene." Lenara said, "And she also said that she can't make the decision and needs to ask for your opinion."

Lenara said: "The reason why I need your opinion is because you hold the 'key' - the mechanism written at the bottom of Cerri, which ensures that she can't cause trouble again."

"You know it very well." Wuming said.

"Kalia also contributed to this mechanism," said Lena. "Our request is very simple. Give us a few 'keys' so we can control them together. As long as we ensure our own safety, the management of Kalia's affairs can be gradually handed over to Serei."

"This is really a big deal." Wuming said, "No wonder it's kept so secret."

Wuming was a little hesitant. Bringing Kalia under Serui's management could indeed bring many benefits.

But Wuming couldn't say whether giving management rights to Kalia would cause more new problems.

After all, Kalia is Kalia and the caravan is the caravan.

The impact of this division of power may not only affect the caravan, but also Kalia.

"You are so relieved." Wuming said to Lenara.

"Trust can be strengthened in various ways." Lenara said, "Even if I don't trust your character, we can use various ways to strengthen our mutual trust."

"For example?" Wuming asked.

"We can get married," said Lenara. "Both Lenara and Lennie are married, but I'm still single. Although I'm a mother of three children, I'm also the Queen of Kalia. If you're willing, we can get married."

Wuming was startled and looked at Lenara, but he saw that Lenara's expression had not changed at all, and her eyes were still as cold as the moon. Wuming roughly understood: "Political marriage."

Reinara nodded: "As long as both parties are integrated with each other and their interests are deeply bound, they will naturally not betray each other."

Wuming said, "Why did Narada Gang betray you?"

A few veins appeared on Reinara's forehead, and a forced smile appeared on her expressionless face.
"I don't know, but the current situation of the Golden Tree is the price. I believe we can all learn from this lesson. If you wish, Kalia Castle can hold a new bonding ceremony."

"This matter is too big. I need to ask other people for their opinions." Wuming said, leaving the room, contacting Patch and telling him the situation.

"Can you agree to this?" Wuming asked.

Patch asked back, "What do you think?"

"I always feel a little conflicted." Wuming said, "I don't feel at peace."

"Then you still have some brains." Patch said, "We are neutral. Kalia is trying to win you over."

"Why did you suddenly think of winning us over?" Wuming said.

"The border area now is a three-way stalemate, understand?" Patch said.

"Which three legs?" Wuming asked.

"Kalia, Rodel, and Nimgefu," Patch said, "The Horned People have a very good relationship with Nefeli, and it is almost certain that they have formed an alliance. With the power and technology of the Horned People, and the longest period of stability, Stonewell has grown into a very large force."

Patch said: "But there is another force in the border area that is no less powerful than the other forces. It is growing rapidly, remains neutral, and has no ambition to become king."

"Whoever this neutral force leans towards will likely become the ultimate winner," Patch said. "And once it leans towards someone, it will surely attract counterattacks and resistance from other forces."

Wuming realized belatedly: "Could it be that Man Yue's purpose is not to discuss cooperation, but to pull us towards Kalia?"

Patch said: "Kalia's power now is the strongest, and it can be said that it is stronger than the Golden Tree."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Wuming said, "Rodel has Lao Lu."

"Kalia has more cards in his hand than Rodel," Patch said, "three top fighters, a god-like man, and several heroic fighters."

"Old Lu also has two sons... Oh, I'm afraid Monger won't help." Wuming said, "By the way, how is the Blood Dynasty doing now?"

"I heard from Ampah that he is hiding and recruiting soldiers to expand his power," said Patch.

"Ampah, how did you ask this?" Wuming asked.

"He is helping to recruit soldiers and horses in our store, and recruiting the Faded to pledge their allegiance." Patch said, "He opened a Veteran BBQ, and he uses blood flames to grill skewers when he has nothing to do, which can be considered as a subsidy to the Blood Dynasty."

Wuming asked: "So, you can't agree to Lenara?"

"Anyway, I've told you the problems and consequences. You can weigh them yourself," said Patch.

Wuming weighed the pros and cons and went back to reject Lena's proposal: "Forget about the marriage, but the management rights of Serei can be divided among you."

Lenara gave Wuming a deep look:
"Are you sure you won't consider it again? You can get more benefits if we join forces."

Wuming laughed, a deep and unfathomable sound that made people deaf and dumbfounded:

"A political marriage will never be happy!"

Wuming took out a book:

"This is a guide to dating written by Serei. It contains information on how to choose a partner, how to handle relationships between the sexes, the difficulties you may encounter, and a guide to raising children."

Wuming patted the cover of the book and vowed:
"It says in it that forming a relationship like this will only bring hidden dangers and pain. And the higher up the hierarchy, the more likely it is that new problems will arise due to the complex exchange of interests."

"Written by a wisdom in stone." Lenara expressed the same doubt.

"This is a conclusion drawn from a large number of cases," Wuming said, "and we have already proved after popularizing it that people's desire to form a relationship and have children has increased by ten points."

"Interesting, let me take a look." Lenara asked for the book and flipped through its contents casually.

There are indeed many detailed examples.

For example, the marriage between Princess Reilana of Kalia and the Golden Tree King's family eventually led to the Shattered War, and the marriage between Princess Lailana of Kalia and Messermo ended up making her a widow for a thousand years.

There are also pictures of Radagan and the full moon, which are very lifelike.

Lenara closed the book, and the thick book twisted slightly in her hands, as if it was about to be crushed.

The full moon supports the forehead:

"Okay, so be it."

Wuming said goodbye to Man Yue. Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, but finally said:
"In fact, I think you still miss Radagan."

Wuming felt that the coldness in Man Yue's eyes became more and more obvious. However, this coldness was different from the indifferent coldness. It was a more intense coldness.

"Forgive me." Wuming smiled and retreated, "It's not good for someone who can use himself as a bargaining chip so calmly to be so emotional. It will make his subordinates feel uneasy."

Lenara grabbed the book on the table and wanted to throw it away, but she sighed and put it away.
