The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 60 Heading to the Red Lion City
In front of the curtain of the bird's-eye mirror.

Wuming held a handful of Roja fruit in his hand, and when he squeezed it, the Roja fruit in his hand burst open, exploding a ball of white fluffy cotton-like substance, which curled and turned yellow when heated.

Wuming was making such things by hand, stuffing them into the gaps of the mask one by one, eating them vigorously.

Patch kept staring at the curtain, observing the changes in the picture.

Paqi stared at it for a long time, then retracted his gaze, and subconsciously grabbed the burst Roja fruit in Wuming's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Patch chewed it a few times, felt something was wrong, and spat it out again: "Bah, bah, what the hell, I thought it was popcorn."

"Roja fruit." Wuming replied.

"Isn't that what cattle eat?"

"It's not the same when you heat it up."

"Different?"

"It can explode into cotton after being heated, and demihumans use this thing to rub cotton thread to make clothes."

Patch rolled his eyes:
"That's what the animals eat."

"I didn't say I could eat it." Wuming said, and stuffed some cotton into his mouth, "But this is suitable for me."

"Why are you acting like a donkey," Patch said.

"It's not a donkey, it's a stove." Wuming corrected him, "You don't want to continue watching?"

"It's over." Patch glanced at the curtain.

"Oh? What's the result?" Wuming asked.

"A good news and a bad news, which one to listen to first?"

"Stop doing this, just say it directly."

Patch said, "Greek won."

Wuming clicked his tongue: "We really won, then we are in trouble."

"Our troubles are gone. Although Greg won, but judging from the battle situation, the loss of troops was heavy." Patch said, "I'm afraid he won't be able to miss us in a short time."

Hearing the good news, Wuming was happy.

He said cheerfully: "Now he should worry that we miss him."

The two came to this conclusion and left in peace.

Greg's threat is gone, and they just need to take care of the Bell Hunter, so they can rest easy and continue doing business.

"About the bell hunter, I have an idea." Wuming Lu said, "It's really inefficient for all of us to be pinned down by a bell hunter. In fact, we can establish an early warning system. As long as he approaches, we can prepare in advance. "

"How to warn?" Patch asked.

"Inspired by the bird's-eye view mirror, we can also build a bird's-eye view mirror in the Church of Irene. With Selian's stargazing and my light magic, it should not be difficult to create." Wuming took out a map and explained it to Patch. "The vicinity of Ailey Church is relatively flat. We burned all the weeds nearby, and smoothed out the depressions and protrusions, so that if the bell hunters come, they can be found from a long distance."

Wuming drew a large circle on the map, covering a forest and part of Lake Yakir.

"Let this area be completely leveled. Once the Bell Bead Hunter is found, we will have plenty of time to defend."

"That's a big deal," Patch said, "I just have one question, do you have any money?"

"I have someone." Wuming said, "Let the miners come to dig the cliff, and let the demi-humans burn the forest, hurry up."

"What about their old job?" Patch asked, "Without them mining ore and managing logistics, many services in the store would have been shut down."

Wuming pondered for a moment and came up with a good idea:

"Tell them that the round table is a difficult time, and they need to make sacrifices and work overtime."

Patch's mouth twitched: "What a good idea."

"Of course it's a good idea." Wuming said confidently, "Employees don't work overtime, how will the store develop. This is to expand the territory for the glory of the new round table, and future generations will remember their achievements. Turn around and set up a round table and put them What an honour, the pickaxe and the needle."

"So...give them a raise?" Patch asked.

Anonymous asked: "If the bird's-eye mirror is ready, how many people do we need to guard the bird's-eye mirror?"

"From the perspective of the bird's-eye view mirror, monitor... at least [-] people day and night." Paqi said, "These people are like Kaidan mercenaries. They need to devote all their energy to defense and cannot work."

"Then no salary increase." Wuming said, "The church is everyone's home, and we work hard for this family, too. Talking about money is so vulgar."

Patch looked sideways:

"You haven't been so picky before."

"What can I do? Celine Topps's expenses are too high." Wuming curled his lips, "Now I can share [-]% of the store's profits."

"The scale of the business is so much bigger now, [-]% is not a lot." Patch said, "You can take less."

"How can I do that, I won't lose my life?" Wuming clutched his purse, "Don't think I don't need money."

"I really haven't seen you use money." Patch said, "You've already eaten the grain of the livestock, what else can you use it for?"

Wuming didn't answer, but smiled grimly twice:
"You don't want to know, and you better hope you never know—what sound?"

While the two were talking, they had already driven back to the church, when Wuming suddenly heard a whine, which was faintly visible and faint.

Nameless listened carefully, searching carefully, and found that the sound came from the cross in front of the church.

There have always been some crescent-shaped crosses in front of the Alley Church, which are said to be made after the images of Malika and Rune.

There are mummified corpses hung on the cross, which have been exposed to the wind and sun, but the curse of longevity prevents them from returning to the tree or dying. When they have enough strength, they will wail.

"I thought it was a corpse, so it's not dead yet." Wuming looked at the corpses in the carriage, "Who are they? What happened?"

"How would I know," Patch said, "probably used to have a shop at Islay Church."

"Aren't the merchants buried in the soil? It turns out there are still some hanging on the trees."

Wuming got off his horse and respectfully bowed to the senior on the cross.

When Wuming announced in the church that the crisis from Stone City had been lifted, and announced the plan against the bell hunters, the church of Alley cheered.

Indeed, as Wuming said, many employees here were picked up by Wuming, and they did not have their own homes, so they could only regard this as their home.

No one complains about unnamed overtime demands.

Wuming immediately dragged Serlian out of the corner.

When it was pulled out, Selian was still holding onto the jaws of the falling star beast, unwilling to let go.

"Don't hinder my research on the Starchild!" Se Lian protested by stepping on Nameless's helmet.

"Do you understand sustainable development? If you want to understand each other, you have to give each other some space." Wuming hugged Se Lian's waist and stretched out.

Serlian finally gave in, got off the falling star beast, put her hands on her chest, and could feel her dissatisfaction through the hood.

"What's the matter again, didn't you just ask me." Said Selian.

Wuming looked at the sky, it had been a long time since she asked Se Lian about the falling star beast and she sent her to the bird's-eye view mirror, and Se Lian didn't feel the passage of time at all.

"I want to do a bird's-eye view mirror, and I need your knowledge of astrology." Wuming said.

"It's such a hassle to do that." Selian didn't want to help.

"It's also good for you. When I'm handy, I'll make your future stargazing equipment." Wuming began to paint cakes for Se Lian, "It's not that Rataen will never die. Sooner or later, the starry sky will start to flow. Sooner or later you Astrology is required."

"Okay..." Selian stared at the falling star beast reluctantly for a while, and then went to build a bird's-eye mirror with Wuming.

Wuming chose the leading highland next to the church as the location for the bird's-eye mirror.

"You first need to make a ball." Said Selian, "It represents stars, which can enhance our inspiration. The more standard the shape, the better the effect, and the bigger the body, the better.

"How?" Wuming asked.

"You're the blacksmith, aren't you?" said Cerlian.

Wuming was a little embarrassed: "I can only hit with a hammer, but you said the more standard the better, isn't it hard to hit?"

"If you want to pursue magic, some protracted work is necessary." Se Lian said, "You do it first, and I will continue to study the Starchild if it's okay."

"Wait, I'm calling Patch." Nameless said.

Wuming found out that Patch had more ghost ideas than him when he used the bird's-eye view before, so he decided to try his luck with Patch again.

Hearing the nameless request, Patch thought for a while:
"It's simple, I'll tell you how to do it..."

While Patch was talking, he took out a piece of parchment and wrote and drew on it.

"Is this really possible?" Wuming was suspicious after hearing this.

"You'll know if you try it." Patch was full of confidence.

Wuming took a pile of iron blocks from the anvil, melted the iron blocks according to Patch's blueprint, and made a spherical hollow polyhedron with a small hole.

He ran to Yakir Lake and poured water into the polyhedron.

Wuming held down the iron block and used the move to kill the guard of the big tree, injecting flames from the inside through the iron block.

Almost instantly, the small holes of the polyhedron ejected water columns, and the polyhedron itself became a spherical shape after a huge earthquake, and its shape was quite standard.

"Wow!" Wuming looked at the standard spherical shape in amazement.

Patch snorted triumphantly: "I should have said it a long time ago."

Wuming held the hollow iron ball, and placed it in a line with Patch's bald head and the icon of a round egg with a heart in Irene's Church in the distance. The three circles echoed in symphony, and Wuming was amazed:

"It's almost as standard as your head."

Wuming thanked Patch and reported to Se Lian with the big iron ball in his arms.

Se Lian had never seen such a standard spherical shape, so she couldn't help but look at Wuming Gao:

"Even for the royal observatory, it took many craftsmen months of carving to create such a large sphere."

"Small things." Wuming unceremoniously took Patch's credit for himself, "What's next?"

"Spread the surface with quicksilver," said Cerlian.

"Mercury?" Wuming thought for a while, but he didn't remember seeing this material before, "Where can I get it?"

"This step is troublesome." Ser Lian said, "Astrology has declined, and the number of Platinum Sons has decreased, so there is very little mercury to be found."

"Son of Platinum?" Wuming said.

"Their blood can be used to refine mercury," said Selian, "a material that magicians like very much for experiments. But now they are protected by the royal family, and they can no longer legally buy and sell Platinum Sons."

Selian clenched her fists:

"Hateful Queen Kalia, does she want to abandon all magician traditions..."

"Subdued the Royal Family of Kalia and the Queen of the Full Moon of the Academy of Magic at the same time..." Wuming ignored Selian's daily cynicism, and pondered, "Isn't it unwise to provoke a fragmented monarch now?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's like this for you." Serlian said, "Although the direction of the full moon is weak, there is no doubt about her talent. She is one of the best stargazers. If forced It's more terrifying for her to come out of the mountain than to provoke Greco."

Wuming raised his face: "Then what should we do? Apart from the Son of Platinum, there is no other way to get mercury?"

"Look for other stargazers, maybe they still have stock, but because it is not renewable, it will be very expensive to use one part less." Selian said.

Wuming shook his head: "I'm most afraid of being expensive. Is there any other way, such as pyroxene mine, is there wild mercury? The kind that grows in the ground."

"Then you might try your luck underground," said Cerlian.

"Is there really wild mercury?" Wuming's eyes lit up.

"The underground Eternal City is said to have more perfect mercury, and may even have a source of platinum." Serlian said.

"where?"

"do not know."

Se Lian looked at Wuming's puzzled expression, and explained: "The information on the underground eternal city is very secret, and there is very little information. I have explored the eternal city Knoxtera, but I didn't gain much."

"That's not the end..." Wuming murmured.

"After all, I was locked up very early. Maybe you can ask other magicians." Selian said, "Do you know any other magicians? If not, I can introduce one for you."

"You introduce them to me directly, and I'll just ask them one by one." Wuming said.

Said Selian: "If I can, I don't want to have any more interaction with that person."

"The person who helped you build the study?" Wuming guessed.

When I first met Se Lian, Wuming asked the person who made the study for Se Lian, and Se Lian had the same reaction.

"You're very perceptive." Selian sighed, admitting the nameless guess.

"Then I'll go ask someone else first." Wuming didn't make things difficult for Se Lian, "Fortunately, I have a lot of contacts."

Wuming turned around and found his contact - Paqi.

But this time Patch was no different, and knew nothing about making mercury.

He also asked Patch if he knew the location of the Eternal City. Although he answered in the affirmative, he was also like Su Lian. Patch had been there, but he didn't see anything like mercury.

Wuming had no choice but to wait for Tufu to return to the church to visit relatives, and then asked him to ask the demigod magician.

Wuming sat in front of the anvil, helping the faded man to forge iron, and at the same time, he was thinking about which other magicians he knew.

Sir Baizhi has a lot of information, but he can't understand himself, he can't even go to the round table...

The demigod magician was far away from Kalia City, and it took several days to ride back and forth on horseback...

Go to the Eternal City by yourself, maybe you can get something that Patch Selian hasn't found, and if you're lucky, you might be able to find it, it's all about luck...

"That's right, there's also Roger." Wuming remembered.

Nefeli said that Roger went to participate in the battle ceremony of Lataen.

Although Wuming didn't know where Lataen was, Patch had met Lataen in Galilee.It didn't take too long for Patch to come and go.

As soon as he said it, Wuming asked Paqi for a map, and went straight to the teleportation circle of the Dragon's Breath ruins, and went to the Red Lion City where Lataen was located via the Selia Tunnel.
