Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Hyde's sudden outburst was unexpected by Neferi. This sudden situation made Nefeli's mind flood with all kinds of thoughts.

Is Hyde a mole?

In such a moment of trance, Neferi did not pull Hyde back, and because she was a veteran and knew that Hyde was fragile, she was afraid that it would cripple him with just a scratch, so she hesitated for a moment.

With this little effort, Hyde had already grabbed the dagger and rushed behind Lani at an unexpectedly fast speed.

The dagger pierced the empty space and made a sound, as if there was some invisible colloid blocking Hyde.

The thick fog dispersed, forming a wall of fog that stood between Lani and Hyde. No matter how hard Hyde tried, he could not break through.

Lani turned to face Hyde, her cloak flung away under the inertia, revealing the alien broadsword swinging under the cloak.

Lani held the handle of the knife with both hands and slashed towards Hyde's head. The black blade burst out with a strange light, like a black crescent moon, swallowing up the surrounding light.

The light was distorted and it was impossible to see where the knife landed.

The blade of the blade scraped against Hyde's blond hair, and half of Hyde's hair was cut off.

Your barbering skills are really good. You can shave Latarn's head, and you can also give Hyde a haircut. Wuming commented on Hyde's hairstyle, It's very pioneering and bold.

Hyde seemed frightened by the knife, put down the dagger, and quickly knelt down.

Seeing that Hyde was okay, Neferi stepped forward quickly:

Excuse me - you are crazy!

Neferi hit Hyde so hard that she almost knocked him unconscious.

Hyde was also frightened, and in his fright he did not forget to leave Nefeli out:

I'm sorry, noble demigod, I don't know why this is happening. This has nothing to do with King Neferi...

Facing the panic of Hyde and Neferi, Lani remained calm.

It's none of his business. Lani looked up at the sky above Hyde's head. He was just controlled, and he was tired of me. The seal of the stars has been released, and they can't sit still.

Controlled? Wuming had been acting very calmly. Hearing what Lani said, he suddenly became interested, Controlled by who? How?

A kind of interference with the spirit. There was a hint of disdain and anger in Lani's voice. As for who did it...ah, you don't want to know. When you hear his name, you will only regret knowing it.

He? Wuming became even more interested, Tell me about it.

Lani glanced at him, raised the corners of her mouth, and said:

Two fingers.

Those two simple words brought more shock than Hyde's sneak attack on Lani just now.

Especially Hyde was stunned.

What are two fingers? At the junction, there is a being as noble as Queen Malika and King Godfrey. They are messengers of God.

Hyde has always claimed to be orthodox and follows the proper order under the golden tree, but he suddenly slashed the demigod with a knife and was told that it was his two fingers that caused the trouble.

As a demigod, Lani is of course more aware of the status of the two fingers and what it means to be targeted by the two fingers. That was a situation a hundred times more terrifying than Neferi's biggest dilemma.

Just as Hyde showed, even if ordinary people meet her by chance or just approach her, they will be affected and harmed.

She looked at Wuming playfully, wanting to see if the businessman was scared out of his wits.

She was also waiting a little lonely for the people around her to stay away from her again, leaving her to face all the loneliness on the other side of the night.

Then Lani saw a piece of drool dripping from the gap in Wuming's face shield.

Lani thought she was dazzled, but looked carefully and found that the saliva had disappeared.

Wuming clicked his tongue and said: Two Fingers, that's a good thing - how did you get into Two Fingers? Are you committing a crime too?

Hearing Wu Ming's question, Lani no longer wondered whether she was dazzled just now, raised her chin slightly, and said with a coldness that could repel people thousands of miles away: A serious crime.

Then you can become a customer of my new business. Wuming said, Do you want to atone for your sins? No need for stars and tears, you can atone for your sins with just runes, the price is reasonable, and you are innocent...

Lani's coldness turned into a subtle emotion:

Do you know what it means to be an enemy of Two Fingers?

I don't know. Wuming said.

I guess you don't know either. Lani didn't want to say more to Wuming, otherwise you wouldn't be so relaxed.

But people can always atone for their sins. Wuming said, Do you want to atone for your sins? I don't need stars and tears. Isn't it easier than searching for that crap all over the world? Let me tell you, that thing has been used by everyone. The royal family and nobles are hiding.

Lani rolled her eyes: Thank you for spreading this knowledge to me. I have stars and tears at home.

Then why don't you atone for your sins? Wuming was surprised, Are you the kind of rebellious kid who thinks committing a crime is cool and exciting?

The crime I committed is continuous. Have you ever seen atonement by slapping others and asking others to forgive you at the same time? Lani went crazy, and her twenty fingers clicked.

Oh... I understand. Wuming said, Then you are really a bad person.

Wuming finally admitted that she was a bad person, but Lani didn't feel the way she should have at all.

Aren't you afraid? Lani said.

You are my client, I have to treat your mother, and you are still my potential client - I am waiting for you to atone for your sins, so there is no time to be afraid. Wuming answered Lani and looked at Neferi, It was a false alarm, it's okay. , I’ll go find those people.”

Neferi sent someone to take him to a dungeon where many of the suspects captured in the arena were held.

Wuming did not let anyone else go with him, and went in and out of different cells by himself.

One day later, Wuming walked out of the dungeon and called Lani over.

Wuming pointed to the cell and mouthed to Lanni:

Go in and have a look.

Lani walked into the cell and found that the suspects were all gathered together, sitting quietly on the bench, a little stupid.

What do you want me to see? Lani asked.

Look at them, do they look like your mother? Wuming said.

No, my mother is much prettier than them.

I said mental state.

Lani observed those stupid people: It's kind of like, what did you do to them?

Wuming said: I always felt that the state of this full moon was familiar before, but I couldn't remember it. It was a very superficial impression, and I couldn't find the source until later when I was digging underground tunnels to restore the stars. It was only after I went to survey the underground Eternal City that I finally remembered.

Wuming said solemnly: Man Yue has a kind of temperament, a temperament like being in a deep dream, as if daydreaming all the time. I have seen this temperament in another place, a place where I only briefly walked around.

Where? Lani asked.

Blood Dynasty. Wuming said, Do you know Fan Lei?

I don't know. Lani said.

The one who just turned back into a human and pulled him to save people on the battlefield with Greg, the one with the white mask. Wuming explained.

If you don't know him, you just don't know him. Come on and get to the point. Lani interrupted Wuming.

That person is from the Blood Dynasty. I used his teleportation medal to go to his lair for a brief look. Wuming said, The people in that place all seemed to be in a dream. Although they were awake, they didn't look like they were awake. She looks like she's drunk, lost in some kind of delusion - very similar to your mother's temperament.

Blood Dynasty... Lani frowned, Like Two Fingers, do they have the power to interfere with other people's minds?

I'm afraid that's not the work of the Blood Dynasty. Wuming snapped his fingers, and a cluster of pink air came out from the tip of his ring finger. From Nokron, I came into contact with a kind of giant ant. Some people use the power of charm to control the giant ant. .Charm is Michaela’s power.”

You mean my mother was charmed? Lani said.

It's not completely certain yet. Wuming said, I have obtained a lot of experimental data from these people. Now it is time to go and see the full moon again to see if it can be fulfilled.

Wuming and Lani returned to the courtyard. The Full Moon Queen was laughing and playing with Burke. Her mental state had improved a lot. She regarded Burke as her own child and was very happy - half melting into Burke.

Wuming asked Burke to comfort Man Yue, and then checked Man Yue himself.

Surrounding the tall Full Moon, Wuming poked and touched here and there, and from time to time he lifted up his wide-sleeved robe to look inside, or lifted up his long skirt to observe the naked white feet of Full Moon.

Lani couldn't stand it any longer: Are you done?

Wuming poked his head out from under Full Moon’s skirt:

For a thorough examination, I would actually like to check her internal organs again.

A ball of amorphous silver liquid gushed out from Wuming's shoulder, and a crystal filament was pulled out, surrounding the seven orifices of the full moon, eager to try.

Wuming patted the silver liquid and took back the tears: But I'm afraid that she will lose control and crush Burke, so let's forget it.

Lani was a little embarrassed and didn't want to listen to the unknown nonsense anymore: Did you find something?

Wuming nodded: Of course I found it, otherwise I would not give up entering Man Yue's body to find out.

Really found it? Lani was surprised now, What is it? Is it evidence?

I can't say, I just think this thing is not very common. Wuming approached Burke, touched his head, and praised his bravery.

Then the unknown bracelet owner held Burke's full-moon wrist and cut one of her bracelets open.

The silk wristband is decorated with luxurious gold and silver textures, and a gemstone is inlaid on the back of the hand.

Wuming said: There are many gems on Queen Lenora's magic robe. I have checked them. Each one is very luxurious, pure and expensive. It is worth a lot of money at a glance - can you take it and sell it to me?

Let's get to the point! Lani took out the black knife.

This gem on the back of your hand is particularly big, but its texture is very strange. Wuming handed the bracelet to Lani, Did you see its color?

Different from the round and delicate red emeralds and pure and expensive blue emeralds on the robes, the gemstones on the bracelet are very mixed in color.

On the hemispherical large green amber background, there seems to be a layer of pink breath sealed by amber, which lingers.

And on the edge of the emerald, there is a hint of red.

It was as if the emerald had been scratched and a stream of bright red blood flowed out.

Emerald mixed with red. Wuming said, I have been doing business for so long and I have never seen this kind of gem. Have you seen it?

Lani stared at the emerald and said softly:

It's a bit impressive. It's really rare.

Oh? So it's very valuable? Wuming said.

No, the red color is not naturally formed. Lani said, It is formed by blood dripping into amber. Only places that often bleed are rich in this. Emeralds with such sharp blood stains... I have only seen it in one person. Pass.

Who? Wuming asked.

Michaela... Lani said softly.

Okay. Wuming had no reaction to the famous name that Lani read out. He clapped his hands and was about to call it a day, The case has been solved. The clues are all correct. It was Mikaela who did it.

Lani threw the black knife on the unknown helmet:

Have a thought, Michaela wasn't even born when my mother lost her mind.

Wuming's head was hit so hard that it made a buzzing sound, but he was full of confidence: Oh, what's so difficult about this? He did it in time traveled to the past, doesn't that explain it?

Lani was speechless at Wuming's brain circuit:

Michaela's Law has never demonstrated this ability.

Oh, he can find help from other people who know how to do this. Wuming didn't care, Maybe he found someone who is good at boxing to help, or he found a place where time and space are distorted - do you have any time and space distortion here? The place? Maybe that’s where we went back in time.”

Don't make trouble. Lani stared at the gem, thinking, It can't be Mikaela, but it might be someone related to Mikaela...

Is there anyone else in this border area who can be charmed? Wuming wondered.

He suddenly thought of something and waved his hands repeatedly:

It's not me, I don't know anything.

Lani said slowly: Although we observed and researched the law ourselves, we did not invent it. We just discovered the law. It was normal for some people to know this before...

Lani's voice became deeper and deeper, sounding suppressed and angry.

Have you guessed who it is? Wuming said.

Who else could it be? Lani said, It must be that heartless man, Michaela's father.

Radagon? Wuming said, That's not the case. Didn't Milie say they are quite affectionate?

Lani sneered: Love, and then marry Marika?

Wuming saw that Lani was very angry, so he stopped touching her.

He couldn't take care of Lani's housework, all he had to take care of was... Wuming looked at Man Yue, then turned and left.

Okay, the doubts are cleared, let's get on the road. Wuming stretched with satisfaction.

Eh? Lani was sulking aside. Seeing Wuming about to leave, she quickly suppressed her anger and held Wuming back, Why did you leave?

I'm done. Wuming said, Why don't you leave? My very busy sister, I want to make money.

Aren't you going to save my mother? Lani said, You have just found out the cause of the disease, what's the next stage?

That's it, princess. Wuming explained, I want to cure Man Yue, mainly because I want her to help me stand up and solve the crisis in Stone City, so that I can earn runes.

Wuming sighed: It's a pity that Shi Dongcheng's crisis is over. There will be no benefit if I cure her again.

I...I can give you a benefit. Lani hurriedly rummaged in her cloak, Do you want the Soul Summoning Bell? The Black Knife can also be given to you.

Thank you, you are so filial. Wuming looked at Lani pitifully, Once you said that your influence was not as good as Greg's, I still didn't believe it, but today I saw you being targeted with two fingers, and I realized that it's not easy for you either.

Wuming waved his hand: You can't bring anything good, and it's time for me to open up my new trade route. Goodbye.

He walked away without a name, his heart unhindered.

Lani really had nothing to offer, and her poor and shabby appearance was not worth Wuming's effort to help Man Yue.

That's how it should be.

Three days later, Wuming still carried Man Yue into the caravan and began to treat Man Yue.

The reason is more complicated, but the origin is very simple——

Patch is back.

Correction, the coat of arms of the lord who used Neidhart's name as his family name should not be a dragon, but an eagle.
