Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

After listening to Wuming read out the long list of conditions, Lani nodded slightly:

Why should I help you?

I saved your men. Wuming said frankly.

Hmph, how do you know Iggy can't fight back? Lani said, He's just a black knife assassin.

Oh. Wuming said, Then I'll go back and let them challenge each other. If Iggy dies, you have to help me.

Okay, okay, you saved Iggy. Lani said, But you are not as open-minded as you.

Don't you say that life is a priceless treasure?

Lani sneered: Do you believe this?

I believe it. Wuming said, As long as you agree to these requirements.

Lani considered Wuming's requests:

I can lend you the observatory to answer some of your questions. But other requests cannot be accepted rashly. They involve too much.

Aren't you a princess? There are too many things involved. What are you afraid of? You have to be brave enough to bear the fate of others to be worthy of the title of king. Wuming encouraged Lani, The king is the one who has to bear the dreams of others!

Lani was unmoved: Destiny should be controlled by oneself, not by external things.

Wuming was at a loss for words: Then tell me, how can I agree?

First of all - Lani said, let go of your hands first.

Wuming unclenched his clenched fists, opened his palms, and signaled to Lani.

Lani looked at her wrist, and there were two circles of burnt black where Wuming was holding her, like two handcuffs.

Lani's face also turned dark:

I'm a demigod, can you have some respect?

Wuming Congshan Ruliu took a step back on the steps of the observatory.

Now he was finally shorter than Lani who was sitting on the observatory.

Lani resisted the urge to take out her staff and shoot Comet Azler at him, pressed her forehead and said with a headache:

Opening the academy, setting up portals, and technical exchanges all require the opinions of the academy. I can't agree to it casually. You have too little in exchange.

Wuming said: What kind of benefits can you and the academy agree to? I can accept higher taxes, and I will not sell sensitive items. How many runes do I need to pay per year? Can the threshold be higher?

Rune alone can't buy a magician. Lani said, Can you stop your businessman mentality?

Lani said proudly: Magicians are people who have their own pursuits and are free from vulgar taste.

Wuming thought for a while: It's too low... to let the stars circulate again, is it enough to make the academy relent? To make you agree?

Can you do it? Lani looked at Wuming in surprise, Yes, you are not a simple businessman...can you really kill Latarn?

Latan is your brother, no matter how much you say or say, you will not be killed. Wuming said.

Otherwise, what else can we do? Lani bit her lip, If we can bring an end to this stagnant situation, even if we betray everything...

Wuming leaned back and looked at Lani in surprise:

You are such a cruel woman. I don't want to do business with you anymore. You won't stab me in the back someday, right?

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Lani said, As a businessman, don't you understand this truth? Don't worry, I'm not capricious to that extent.

Lani crossed her legs and assumed a more majestic sitting posture: But even if you can kill Latan, I'm afraid it's too late. My men have already passed, and you may not be able to capture this honor.

You mean Blaze? Wuming said, Hasn't he come back yet? The battle festival has ended long ago.

Lani's majestic sitting posture froze for a while.

Looks like I got lost again... Lani muttered in a low voice, You said the battle festival is over? Are you there? But after the battle festival is over, why is the starry sky still...

It's over. Wuming nodded and confirmed, Era Tarn cured the corruption and miraculously resurrected to a perfect ending.

My brother is resurrected? Lani's voice rose an octave, leaning forward and staring closely at Wuming.

Judging from Wuming's calm expression, this is true.

Lani was silent for a moment, rolled her eyes, and lay down, slumped on the spherical surface of the observatory, with four hands on her lower abdomen, looking at the starry sky that would remain unchanged forever and sighing.

Forget it, that's fine. Lani said.

Although her fate will be sealed together with the stars, she cannot be considered a loss if a relative is resurrected...

That's not right. Lani raised her head.

In the sight of Wuming's shorter head, a pointed hat stood up from the back of his belly again.

Lani said: You said you have a way?

Wuming said: What do you think I want the observatory for? It's just to restore the circulation of the stars.

Okay, I promise you. Lani made a quick decision, jumped down from the observatory, patted the dust on it, The observatory is for you to use.

What about the star observatory? Wuming said.

You are also allowed to set up the portal, and your caravan will not be restricted. Lani said, I will ask Servis to help you with the puppet technique. If necessary, I can also contact the Volcano Mansion.

Huoshan Official Residence? Wuming asked, Why should I contact them?

Puppets, Lani said, Lakad is very good at these fields and is a genius in the field of puppets. But the Open Academy is still not good. My mother is not safe in the Open Academy. There are many people outside looking at my mother's big doll. Yes.

Wuming suggested: I can put a protective barrier on your mother, and I can sell it to you.

Of course Kallia has that kind of thing. Lani said, But that thing is not omnipotent. Once the academy is opened, there will be many ways to break through the protective barrier, such as large-scale miasma poisonous mist, instant super attack, overcoming The teleportation magic that protects the barrier...doesn’t work anyway.”

Then we can find a way to solve it, such as——

No, it just won't work. Lani insisted, leaving no room for error.

Wuming looked at her suspiciously, but there was no clue about the doll's exquisite and unchangeable expression, and the spirit body was very ethereal. It was shrunk in the hat and could not be seen clearly.

Wuming was helpless: Well, most of the business is outside the college anyway, so it doesn't matter if there is one less college.

Lani pushed Wuming:

Okay, you first let the stars resume circulation, and I will naturally order my men to open a caravan for you.

Okay, I'll prepare. You turn off the trap. I need to let my caravan enter the walled city. Wuming said, leaving the walled city and going back to the caravan.

Lani waited for Wuming to disappear, showing a complicated expression.

She once told Blaize that she couldn't understand Wu Ming, so she didn't want to cooperate with him.

But the conditions Wuming offered this time were so tempting that she had to give up her caution.

In order to prevent being cheated, she left the academy as an escape route.

As long as mother is still there...

But how can that guy have the ability to restore the circulation of the stars. Lani thought, After Latarn recovers, he can also restore the circulation of the stars. Is he more powerful than Latarn in his full glory...

After half a day, Lani knew where Wuming's confidence came from.

Latan, who had taken off his illusion and armor, was wearing a vest, standing under the observatory, looking down at his petite sister, waving hello to her:

Hey, long time no see. You're short again.

Lani looked at Latarn, then at Wuming who came with Latarn, and was stunned for a while.

Then he responded to Latarn’s greeting——

He took out four scepters, and four thick beams of comet light hit Latarn's head.
