Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

In the round table hall, the closed door of Baizhi's study was clasped by a slender hand.

Come in. Baizhi's voice sounded from the study.

Roger opened the door and walked into Baozhi's study.

Baizhi had already taken off his helmet at this time, revealing an old but still handsome face, with pale white hair, blood-red eyeballs, and golden pupils.

Momochi's adopted daughter Neferi is giving him medicine.

Senior is really good at letting things go, Roger said.

There's no need to save face for me. Baizhi said, Why did you come to me?

Roger bowed:

I hope you can open your study room and lend it to me.

You should know that, like Feiya, you are just a passer-by and have not been recognized by Two Fingers. My information is only shared with comrades. Sir Bai Zhi said, And that newcomer was also brought by you.

I'm very sorry, I just thought he had potential. Roger showed an apologetic smile, I just didn't expect that potential.

Baizhi glanced at Roger with his blood-red eyes:

The information you want to check is related to the newcomer?

As expected of the All-Knowing One, Roger said.

He is indeed very mysterious. Baizhi casually opened the book at hand, There are no records of the spells he used, no matter which school or ruins he used. I looked for the Ude Dynasty and the ruins of the Ulu Dynasty. It's hard to find similar spells. If you are looking for his spells, unfortunately, you don't have to look any further.

I still want to look through your collection of books. Roger insisted.

Oh? Bai Zhi looked at Roger meaningfully, It seems you have other knowledge about him.

Roger smiled and said nothing.

Bai Zhi said: Great, I can help you, I am always fair - information should be shared.

Roger nodded: Miss Feiya discovered some of his characteristics. I am somewhat familiar with them, but I can't remember where I have seen them, so I hope to consult your library. If I learn anything, I am willing to share it with you.

Roger repeated Fia's words and told the story of how he met him in Stonewell.

He actually wants to install a businessman in Stone City. Bai Zhi said, Although he is quite rude, if he dares to provoke Greg, our interests are indeed the same.

Neferi couldn't help but said:

But won't he destroy your arrangements in Stone City?

It's almost time. Momochi said, Neferi, it's time to go to Stonewell. It's up to you to uncover the storm yourself.

===========

Wuming squatted in front of a bush, holding his face:

What's wrong with you?

Can you see me? A voice came from the bushes. The voice was ecstatic. Great, everyone is ignoring me. I thought no one can see me. I will be alone forever.

It's just an illusion. Wuming said, I'm quite good at light magic, and phantom disguise is my strength.

As he spoke, Wuming also turned into a cluster of bushes, squatting next to another cluster of bushes, forming a perfect contrast to each other.

The bush was stunned for a few seconds:

What are you doing?

I'll stay with you. You're not afraid of being alone. A nameless voice came from the bushes, Are you not alone now? I understand that loneliness is a terrible thing.

The voice of the bush is about to collapse:

Can't you save me?

I told you earlier. Wuming suddenly said.

An arm reached out from the bushes and patted another bush.

The smoke rose, and the bush turned into a little monkey. He only wore clothes and a hat, and he looked quite human.

Wuming also returned to his human form, squinting to observe the monkey:

Demi-humans?

Hearing this, Monkey suddenly lowered the brim of his hat and shrank:

Oh, I'm sorry, my ugly appearance may have scared you. And...and I won't hurt you.

Ugly? Wuming looked at the monkey-like demi-human, No, it's not pretty.

Really? The demi-human raised his head sharply, revealing his eyes from the brim of his hat.

I don't know the aesthetics of you demi-humans. As far as my aesthetics is concerned, there's nothing wrong with it. Wuming patted his chest, It's not as good-looking as me anyway. They're all the same.

Oh, thank you, sir. The demi-human expressed great excitement, My name is Burke. I am also very unpopular among the demi-humans. I was kicked out of the cave and turned into a tree by magic. You helped me. I’m very busy and I can’t repay you.”

No repayment? Do you mean you don't want to help?

No, no. Burke shook his head quickly, I am a tailor and can only sew clothes, but my sewing needle... was left there when I was driven out of the cave.

Tailor... Wuming looked at Burke's outfit, Did you make the clothes yourself too?

I can't yet sew clothes from scratch, which are modified from clothes my mother gave me. Burke was shy.

What a craftsmanship. Wuming knelt down and looked at him closely.

It can be seen that there are two kinds of stitches on the clothes. The stitching of the clothes is a kind of fine and mature stitches, while there are many rough stitches on the outside. This should be the product of Burke's own modification.

Although the stitching is very rough, the shape of the entire garment is very good, and it can be seen that it is quite aesthetic.

Wuming thought about the new round table in the future, and felt that there should be a tailor to provide the faded people with useful and beautiful clothes.

His gauntlet rested on Burke's head:

Follow me and you'll have meat to eat.

Burke was stunned: What...what do you mean?

Anyway, you lead the way, and I'll help you get the stitches. Wuming commanded.

You...you still want to help me get my things back... Burke was so moved that he said, Oh, thank you, sir, you will be my master from now on.

Wuming was frightened by Burke's enthusiasm:

As for that, you're so excited.

Except for my mother, no one has been so gentle to me. Burke choked, You are the one who can be my mother.

I am a man. Wuming said.

That's the father? But my father is not gentle...

Why do some people always recognize me as their father recently? Wuming wondered.

Burke was incoherent: I'm sorry, Master, I just want to express my gratitude...

Okay, okay, I understand how you feel. Wuming picked up Burke and put it on his back, I also had that experience when I met a noble person when I was desperate. Until now, I have followed his path. .”

Wuming patted Burke on the head:

But now you have to lead the way. Where is the cave?

Under Burke's guidance, Wuming came to the beach.

It's over there, the cave at the foot of the mountain. Burke pointed into the distance.

Wuming looked in the opposite direction.

On the beach, there are many people wandering by the sea.

I didn't expect people here to have the leisure time to go to the beach. Wuming looked at the figures, It seems that we can also do some tourism.

Burke was silent: Master, those people are not having fun.

Are you chasing the sea? Wuming asked, Do you live by collecting shells and catching crabs on the beach? What a great idea. Why did I forget that besides land squid, there are also seafood.

They were committing suicide, Burke said.

Wuming became quiet: Suicide?

Burke said: Those people are immortals. They cannot die, so they want to commit suicide by drowning.

Does it work? Wuming asked softly.

I don't know. The people taken away by the tide never appeared again. At least for other people, they may be considered dead. Burke guessed.

Maybe those people are still living under the immersion in sea water. Wuming said lightly.

He walked towards the beach.

Master? said Burke.

Wuming quickly stepped forward and took off the shield.

He struck the shield and made an ear-splitting sound:

Hehehehe, the Round Table Hall is recruiting workers. The salary will be guaranteed to your satisfaction, Rune will take care of it, and food and accommodation will be included...
