Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Fan Lei suddenly woke up and found himself lying in a pool of blood.

He immediately touched his body, only one hand touching it, and he realized again that half of his limbs were missing.

Fan Lei's mouth was filled with bitterness.

At first, he despised Greg's crazy limb-repairing ritual, but now he wished he could have a leg for himself.

The familiar smell of blood still carries a fishy stench, this is still the Blood Dynasty.

But he was not killed. What happened?

Under normal circumstances, if you fell into a pool of blood, you would have been eaten by hungry dogs and turned into feces.

Why am I thinking about feces again? Fan Lei felt a chill.

He was agitated and looked around.

There were no thin dogs around, only a giant crow, standing not far away, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

This kind of giant crow can be said to be at the top of the Blood Dynasty's food chain. With it around, many small dogs really dare not approach it.

But this giant crow also has a row of goose-like sharp teeth on its teeth, and it also eats meat.

Why didn't you eat yourself?

Fan Lei struggled to twist his head and was surprised to find that the hole through his neck had healed and he could turn his neck freely.

Before he had time to think, he saw a man sitting on the rock behind him.

The man wore a hood and was shrouded in darkness.

The skeleton covering the entire face is tightly clinging to the face like a bug, with only a little bit of the face showing through the gaps between the bones.

He was clad in long robes, with a black cloak studded with the black feathers of birds of prey.

The man held the carcasses of several thin dogs in his hands and fed them to the giant crow.

The giant crow's sharp teeth interlocked, crushing the corpse into several pieces and swallowing it whole.

It's you. Fan Lei recognized this person's identity.

This is also a Bloodfinger, I know him.

This Bloodfinger is a killer from Crow Mountain. He does not believe in the Blood King, but another master.

However, the Blood Dynasty allows such powerful killers to become Blood Fingers, even if they are not loyal.

The eclectic gathering of talents is the reason why the Blood Dynasty is so powerful, and it is also the reason why the Blood Fingers often attack each other.

But because of this, there will also be bloody fingers that save others by their own will.

This killer Fan Lei is familiar, he is a somewhat arrogant person.

Why save me? Fan Lei asked.

It's not time for you to die yet, the killer said, his voice as sharp as a crow.

Sure enough, it's amazing.

Fan Lei has seen the work of the Crow Mountain killers, and they like to imitate the dead birds.

Carrying the evening bell, with its black wings falling, it announces the fate of the dying person and performs the death ceremony with its sharp claws.

He is obviously just a killer, and he joins the Blood Dynasty to facilitate killing, but he has to bear a majestic name and carry an inexplicable honor.

Fan Lei said: How do you judge whether a person deserves to die?

The two birds will teach us. said the killer of Crow Mountain.

Fan Lei touched his throat and could still feel a little scar, but it was very shallow and it just made his voice a little more hoarse in a feminine tone.

As a killer, your treatment methods are actually quite good. Fan Lei said.

Those who walk with death know best the boundary between life and death. Yashan Killer said, They also know how to push people from the boundary to a certain direction.

Fan Lei stood up, looked at the man who always remained mysterious and dark, and smiled:

I am a doctor who often relieves others from pain. You are a killer who saves people because they don't deserve to die? We are really a good match.

The Crow Mountain Killer glanced at him:

I saved you because of my personal judgment.

Oh? Fan Lei said, Why?

You are covered in bird droppings. Crow Mountain Killer said. One part is black and the other is red. It reminds me of two birds, one black and one red.

Fan Lei's expression turned purple:

Can't you put it another way? Don't remind me of this again.

I was inspired by the two birds. The Yashan killer followed the good deeds. Sure enough, to put it another way, he still smelled like a magic stick.

Fan Lei suspected that the ordinary words of the Yashan killer could be translated into popular terms.

For example, being selected by the Evening Bell means that I want to kill you.

Fan Lei said: If you don't talk about that, can you accept another task from me?

Fan Lei usually assigned tasks to Xue Finger, but he usually took it easy and calm, but now he was in a state of embarrassment.

Fortunately, it was this magic stick that I encountered. If it had been any other Blood Finger, he might have been killed.

What mission? the Yashan killer asked.

Go to the top of the mountain. Fan Lei said, Sneak into the Blood King's palace and tell him this - Shattered Star Latarn has awakened and is preparing to attack here.

The Crow Mountain killer was silent for a moment: I refuse.

Why? Fan Lei said, This is not even asking you to kill people. With your stealth ability, this task shouldn't be difficult. You are not very good at assassination.

It's not time for me to be reborn yet, the Yashan killer said.

Rebirth... Fan Lei was confused.

We are the birds of death, serving the two birds until the death ceremony is performed and we obtain the reincarnation contract in the distant future.

Fan Lei thought about it for a while and understood what the Yashan killer meant:

You can just say that you are afraid of death and don't dare to go.

I haven't completely become a death bird and performed death rituals. Of course I can't provoke demigods. The Yashan killer seemed to be a little anxious by Fan Lei's words and no longer maintained his mysterious tone.

You really don't want to go? Fan Lei asked.

It's not time yet. The Yashan killer said solemnly, continuing to maintain his cold persona.

Fan Lei thought for a while:

Take me out of the dynasty first, go and find out the truth about that guy, and go to Nimgefu.

No. The Crow Mountain killer shook his head again and rejected him, The two birds guided me to the lake area.

Someone gave you the task to go to the Lake District? Fan Lei said, Who gave it to you? Why didn't I know.

Fan Lei was a little dissatisfied. This bloody finger was a salesman he developed. How could anyone dare to overstep and give orders to his people without authorization?

It's the missionary's order. Yashan Killer said.

Missionaries, also known as blood nobles.

The missionary who spreads the blood curse is indeed more transcendent than Fan Lei.

Fan Lei thought of the blood noble who stabbed his own throat with a rapier, and his throat became a little tight:

Who did he send you to assassinate? Fan Lei asked.

Queen of the Full Moon - Lenora. Crow Mountain Killer said, The eyes of the two birds are fixed on him. It is time for the destined death to befall her. Her death will prevent the star from falling.

Fan Lei translated the words of the Yashan killer, but finally gave up: Speak in human language.

Killing the Full Moon Queen will mean that Kallia will need a new king to maintain it, and Shatterstar will be busy with government affairs. Crow Mountain Killer said, This is what the missionary told me.

Fan Lei was a little surprised.

He looked at the blood-red burned rock walls of the mountain. On the looming stone steps, the blood nobles were still guarding the place, preventing anyone who tried to disturb the blood king's sleep.

Fan Lei thought that the guy was completely lost in his dream, but he didn't expect that he could come up with some tricks.

If you think about it carefully, this method is indeed feasible.

Among the demigods, Latarn is difficult to compete with, but the Queen of the Full Moon, Lenora, was hurt by love. She was already heartbroken and sinking in the academy, no longer the heroic figure she once was.

The king who is no longer a hero is probably not much better than Greg.

The Full Moon Queen has a special identity. She is the queen of the Kaliya royal family and the leader of the academy.

He single-handedly united the power of the stars and the moon, allowing Kaliya and the academy to stand together.

Once the Queen of the Full Moon dies, there will be chaos in the Lake Lienia area. Latan knows the news and needs to rush to suppress the riots.

His terrifying personal strength is bound to the Lake District, and the huge turmoil will cause all forces to surge around the Lake District.

The Blood Dynasty can continue to sleep peacefully underground.

It is simply a replica of the original plan to kill three birds with one stone.

As expected of the king's knight. Fan Lei murmured.

He gave the blood noble a high look.

It's the guidance of the two birds, the inspiration of the two birds. Crow Mountain Killer corrected, I can feel it, that is not his idea.

Fan Lei didn't argue with him and let him take him away from the Blood Dynasty to the Lake District.

===========

Wuming sat on the carriage, feeling a little irritable.

The convoy just passed another royal territory, which was still in ruins.

He has experienced many such ruins along the way. It was supposed to be a place where silk was sold well, but because of such desolation, he never made any money.

Wuming finally decided to take the convoy to the Kaliya Stronghold first, meet the Moon Princess Lani, and then set up the teleportation array.

On the road, we can only move forward with the risk of being attacked by the Kaliya forces.

The good news is that they are not under attack from Kaliya's forces.

The bad news is that the ruins of the royal family of Kallia are scattered all over the place, leaving him no place to do business.

The only silk clothes Wuming took out these days were given to the rogue cook.

In order to appease his resentment that he had no business, he also charged the gangster a heavy uniform fee and recovered half of the salary advance.

It's Cuckoo. Latarn said the reason why the royal territory was in ruins. During the Shattered War, the academy was the only power released.

Aren't the academy and the Kaliya royal family working together? Wuming wondered, Why would Dujuan attack the Kaliya royal family?

He wondered about this question for a long time.

He had been confused ever since he was led by Blaze and carefully walked through the minefield in front of the Kaliya Walled City.

The trap area set up by the magic circle caused Dujuan heavy casualties and made it extremely difficult for normal people to enter.

Wuming would have to go to the walled city in person and have someone turn off the magic circle before he could lead the caravan into the city.

Latane explained:

The academy and Kallia are not of the same mind. The academy studies the stars, while Kallia focuses on the magic of pyroxene. My mother's highest achievement is the discovery of the full moon. The stars and the moon have never been in harmony, but my mother is too strong and she was convinced. Academy.”

Latarn touched his chin:

But I heard that this disagreement has a longer origin. It's just that I don't care about this aspect. Later, I followed my father to the Golden Tree. I don't know very well.

Wuming said: So the academy wants to send Du Juan to attack the Kaliya royal family?

Not entirely, Latane said. The academy is made up of a bunch of cowardly researchers. They don't have the guts to start a war. Even when facing a mother who has lost her will, they don't have the courage to break up directly.

But Dujuan has already started a war. Wuming said, They have already reached the Kalia Walled City, making it difficult for me to do business - the damn Dujuan.

Cuckoo is not entirely affiliated with the academy. Latan said, Kalia is a very contradictory and complex country. The Lieniya Lake District is not that Kaliya and the academy are competing for supremacy, but Kaliya, the academy and The cuckoo has three pillars, and all three are important.”

I thought Du Juan was just a soldier of the academy. Wuming said.

Soldiers do not deserve to appear on the coat of arms. Latarn shook his head, Do you know the coat of arms of our Red Lion Army?

A red-haired lion holding a sword high? Wuming said.

Latarn nodded: The design of the heraldry is very particular, and each element has its correspondence. Red is my hair color, and it also represents my identity as the son of Radagon. The lion shows that we are warriors of the golden tree, following the King of War.

You can see the inheritance, the power relationship, and where we belong, Latane said.

Wuming thought for a moment and jumped off the golden carriage.

He watched the carriage wheels.

There were several corpses of cuckoo's dead people there, along with some rags from their bodies.

There are patterns on the cloth, with cuckoos and stars painted on them.

Latarn said: You see, the cuckoo can appear on the coat of arms. It means that they are the backbone of the academy, on an equal footing with the stars.

Wuming nodded, showing little interest in complicated heraldry.

He looked into the distance.

Dust was rising on the horizon, and a large number of people were rushing towards the caravan.

Soon, the horse appeared. Judging from the color distribution of the clothes, it was Du Juan.

The cuckoos are known for their raids, Latane said. They're not going to patronize your business.

Are you on equal footing with the stars... Wuming said, You smashed the stars, so killing a bird isn't a problem, right?

It's very problematic. Latarn paused and stopped pulling the carriage. I don't want to expose my identity in the lake area.

Latarn did not want to face his mother, Queen Lenara of the Full Moon, nor did he want to face the various subjects of Lienia.

After all, he was the one who followed Radagan to the Golden Tree, ascended to the position of general, and sealed off the stars. Although he is considered the prince of Kallia, he may not be loved, and he may even be looked down upon.

Come here, it's time for me to take a rest. Latarn held up his hands and sat on the hearse, almost crushing D who was tied to the hearse.

Wuming was in a bad mood just because Du Juan was not in a good mood. When he saw them looking for trouble, he became very angry. He stood on the carriage and held up his staff.

It was a staff he picked up while exploring Sage Town. The top was inlaid with dark purple pyroxene.

The dark purple pyroxene shines, gravity magic surges, and the earth trembles.

The rocks on the ground were sucked up and gathered towards Wuming.

Then the suction force reversed and turned into a thrust force. The boulder was like being thrown by a trebuchet, flying far towards Du Juan's cavalry charge formation and smashing into it.

The man flipped over and fell to the ground.

Nothing happens on Wuming Road, and he has been looking for Latan to learn gravity magic.

This was an area that Wuming was not familiar with, and it was also a spell that he found very useful, with endless uses.

It's simply magic for construction.

Wuming kept bombarding the approaching Cuckoo Knight with rock balls, but he was already thinking about entering the real estate industry.

There is still a lot of open space in front of the Ailei Church, where many tall buildings can be built.

With gravity magic, buildings can be built as high as they want, and then one building can house tens of thousands of people.

Then build a commercial street around the Ailei Church, and invite Neferi, the king of Nimgefu, to cut the ribbon. This will surely attract many dignitaries to move in.

Thinking of this perfect plan, Wuming was so happy that his mouth watered.

The rushing sound of cuckoos broke the nameless fantasy time.

After all, he was a beginner and was still quite unfamiliar with gravity magic. Wuming was still unable to stop Dujuan's charge and was rushed closer by them.

The chirping stinky bird. Wuming snorted, dropped the meteorite staff, jumped out of the car, and lifted it from the ground with his bare hands.

A hundred-meter wall of fire rose from the ground. When the wall of fire fell to the ground, only ashes and death were left.

Wuming returned to the carriage and kicked Latarn:

Get up and hurry up. You're lazy now. You'll have to make up for it later.

I know. When you get to the royal observatory, I will pull the stars for you. Latarn said in a muffled voice.

That's something that has been agreed upon. You have to do something else to compensate me. Wuming said.

What do you want to do? Latane said.

I want to build a bridge, one that doesn't have pillars and needs gravity magic to support it. You have to help me.
