Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Wuming was packing up the caravan. He was sitting on a boulder outside Stone City, looking at the bridge being rebuilt by the prisoners of war, his waist a little bent.

Wuming let out a long sigh.

If he still had spare energy, he might not be so disrespectful to Lani, a demigod.

Although she is a dwarf, she is still a demigod.

It's a pity that Wuming no longer has the luxury and calmness to help others, and he can't protect himself now.

Building the bridge in Stonewell and running business for Neferi have always been a loss-making business.

Especially bridge building, a major project like this, takes a very long time to pay back the cost, and is not something Wuming can afford.

What supported Wuming's decision was the 20% runes promised by Nefeli.

However, this promise became invalid when Greg's third party intervened, and the bridge was destroyed and everything started over again. As a matter of course, Wuming ushered in a complete rupture of the capital chain.

It was not without reason that he was so resentful towards Greg and the lord coalition.

Thinking that he was exhausted and busy, but finally received such a result, Wuming sat on the stone and wondered why the situation turned out like this.

After thinking for a long time, Wuming came to the conclusion——

Dulai Pachi!

Unnamed, angry and unjust, with deep resentment.

The management model of Pachi's old store used to be that Pachi took care of the inside of the store while he went outside to do whatever he wanted.

Now that Patch is away, he is exhausted.

As for Pachi, who disappeared without saying hello and left to take care of the store, Wuming now just wants to cut off his bald head and play with it as a ball.

This bastard went out to solve Latarn's problem. Now Latarn's matter has ended long ago. Even the stars have returned to their current direction, and he hasn't come back yet... Wuming was filled with hatred and began to sharpen his sword.

Boss! An Immortal quickly ran up to Wuming, panting, Boss...is back.

Ah? Wuming didn't react, What's back?

Boss, another boss is back. The Immortal said, Boss Patch is back.

He's back! Wuming suddenly stood up and put the sword back into its sheath, Where is it?

In the Walled City of Kallia. The Immortal said.

Wuming didn't say anything and went straight to the Kaliya Stronghold.

The Immortal didn't lie. As soon as he entered the Kaliya stronghold, Wuming saw a full moon walking on the ground. The moonlight shines on the bald head, with his back turned to him, reflecting the cold light.

When Wuming saw Patch, he quickly stepped forward a few steps, then paused, put his hand on the scabbard, hesitated for a moment, put it down again, and finally stepped forward and kicked Patch's butt hard:

You still know how to come back!

The bald head was thrown away like a cannonball and rolled several times on the ground. The head slid against the dirt for several meters before stopping.

Patch stood up in disgrace, patted the dust on his bald head, spit out a few mouthfuls of dirt, and said in a weak voice:

It's not like this...

You saved your life, I'll tell you. Wuming walked up to Patch in a few steps, glared at Patch, and pointed at his nose.

Then I have to thank you. Patch muttered.

Forget it, I won't say thank you for the kindness, just come back. Wuming waved his hand, There is a lot of things accumulated in the store, so you should make up for the days you took off as soon as possible.

Patch did not answer, but looked around the caravan's commercial street in Kallia:

You're doing quite well on your own. You've already arrived at the Kalija Walled City and you're in good shape.

That's natural. Wuming said proudly, You don't know how much effort I have wasted, but I have paved the way for you. You don't have much work anymore. You just collect rent every day, and you only eat and drink all day long. , no difference.

I'm afraid I can't help you. Patch folded his hands and shrugged, I came here for other reasons.

Something else? Wuming was stunned, What's the matter? Didn't you go to Huoshan's official residence?

So you know, that's easy to say. Patch raised his neck, To be honest, I joined the Volcano Mansion. This time I actually came to complete the mission of the Volcano Mansion. This store probably won't be able to cooperate.

Wuming didn't react: But this store...is still called Pachi's Old Store?

You can change the name. Patch said, It would be nice to call it Wuming Old Shop, or just call it Round Table. Don't you always like that?

Wuming couldn't believe it: What's going on? Didn't you go to Huoshan Mansion to solve the problem in the store?

It was indeed for this purpose at the beginning. Patch said and looked around the streets, But I heard that you have already solved it.

You should come back when this is solved.

I have already joined the Volcano Mansion. Patch shrank his head, Lord Larcade is quite heroic, I think it is more suitable for me there.

Wuming only accepted the reason why Patch came back after realizing it later:

So you didn't come back for the store?

no.

Wuming seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, and just let out a breath.

He took out a disk from his pocket and threw it to the ground.

Light and shadow appeared, and Latarn's projection appeared.

Nameless? Where have you been? I'm waiting for you at Stonewell. Is the convoy ready? Latane said, Can we leave for Yatan?

No, I want to ask you something. Wuming took out a few more Roja fruits, burned them into cotton, stuffed them into the gaps in his face shield and ate them, How is your relationship with Larcade?

It's okay, what's wrong? Latane replied.

Where's Lani? Wuming asked again, How is her relationship with Larcade?

Is it okay? I haven't been sober for a long time, so I haven't asked. We had a good relationship before. Latane said, a little confused, Why are you asking this?

Nameless eating the Roja fruit:

Nothing, tell Lani, I want to eat snakes -

Stop, stop, stop, stop. Patch kicked the disc over and cut off the communication, with a look of horror on his face, What are you going to do?

Fuck Rakad. Wuming's tone was calm and he answered matter-of-factly, as if he was responding to what he was going to eat tonight.

Perhaps it is simpler than what to eat. After all, what to eat tonight will lead to an eternal problem, but Wuming's answer is clear and clear, pointing at the Shanshan Mansion.

Calm down! Patch stood in front of Wuming, Do you know how big a deal it is to kill a demigod?

Wuming looked at Patch:

You are really not clear-headed. When did I become a fearful person? Let me tell you, I just recently discovered that demigods, two-fingered people, and other big figures have the ability to charm. You must have been charmed. I will help you treat your illness and keep it safe - the medicine will cure your illness!

Wuming said, pulling out the long sword.

The cold light of the sword seemed to be cooler than the moonlight of Kallia, causing goose bumps on Patch's scalp.

Seeing Wuming's determination to kill, Pachi had no choice.

He rolled his eyes, sighed and said:

Okay, if you must find him, I will show you the way.

No, we have already found the way to Yatan. Wuming said, Do you know how hard I worked to find the elevator key?

Patch said: My road leads directly to the official residence of Huoshan. When you go from Yatan, the road you pass is very far and difficult to walk.

Oh? Tell me quickly, which way? Wuming said.

Have you seen the Iron Maiden doll? Patch said.

No, I have only seen hemp rope and ceramic girl dolls.

It's a strange automaton that wields a chain and a spur wheel. Patch said, In the past, they would be equipped with teleportation magic. At Rhea Lucalia Academy, there is a large water There is also a doll like this under the waterwheel. As long as you are carried into the body by it, you can be transported to the volcano official residence.

Magic Academy... Wuming thought thoughtfully.

That's right. Patch said, Oh, I heard that the academy is difficult to enter. You may have to find the magic key to enter the academy first...

Wuming clapped his hands: Wait a moment.

After a while, he pulled Se Lian over:

Where was the key you used when you and Topps came out of the academy last time?

Hearing Wuming ask this, Patch felt a little bad.

It's still with you, do you want to use it? Se Lian asked.

Wuming nodded: I want it.

The key belongs to the owner. If one person uses it, no one else can use it. Se Lian replied.

Hearing Se Lian say this, Patch breathed a sigh of relief.

Se Lian continued: But don't worry, I can easily erase that kind of restriction, otherwise Topps wouldn't be able to come out in the first place.

Se Lian said and handed the key to Wuming.

Thank you. Wuming thanked Se Lian, Maybe you shouldn't be a model employee and should be promoted to store manager.

Come on, the stars have been unsealed. I want to study the stars. Se Lian said, I have kept my agreement with you and have not made star seeds - not yet.

Ah, by the way. Wuming clapped his hands again, Bring Tops' key too, please.

Pachi's heart trembled, and he waved to Wuming repeatedly:

I don't have to go.

I don't want you to go. Wuming said, How cruel would it be for you to go and let me watch the hero you consider to be eaten by me? After all, I am not a devil.

Who is this for? Patch asked.

It's for La Tarn. He doesn't always want to go to the plateau. It's just right. Wuming said.

Isn't it cruel to let your brothers watch? Patch screamed in his heart.

There is indeed an Iron Maiden doll under the waterwheel of the academy.

The doll is cylindrical in shape. The head is the image of a girl holding a baby, and the feet are hemispheres hiding wheels.

The Iron Maiden's skirt is a cylinder. After opening, there are entangled snakes inside, which can wrap and tie the faded person and enter the body.

Presumably it uses this method to transmit.

The iron girl's skirt opened a door, revealing the coiled snake inside, and then the snake sprang out like a sharp arrow, wrapping around the prey, preparing to pull it into the body——

Latan lowered his head and looked at the snake protruding from the skirt of the Iron Maiden, who was a head shorter than him, hugging his big belly.

The open door of the skirt is like a mouth, sucking General Shatterstar's general belly.

Like a man trying to reach out to wrap around a thousand-year-old tree, or like a thin snake opening its mouth to swallow a giant elephant.

Latarn pushed out his belly and pushed Iron Maiden up.

He pointed at the Iron Maiden sucking on his belly:

Can I go to Yatan?

Wuming also looked at Patch in confusion:

Can I go to Yatan?

Patch was thrown into the sky by Latarn using gravity magic. He fell down and was caught near the water wheel. He was still a little wilted at this time:

It's not about teleporting demigods.

Indeed it is not, Latane said. This is a torture device used to capture ordinary people.

Wuming looked at Patch calmly: The instrument of torture...

Patch was agitated. Faced with Wuming's oppressive eyes, he finally lowered his head:

You've been cheated on so many times anyway, so you shouldn't care about one more time...

Wuming said nothing, still looking at Patch calmly.

Patch simply knelt on the ground and smiled apologetically:

How about just pretending that nothing happened?

You've never been to the Volcano Mansion - is that so? Wuming said playfully.

Patch's expression became awkward and hesitant:

This... I also have something to hide.

He gritted his teeth and said, I won't go back to the store, please forgive me.

Seeing that Pachi was so determined, Wuming was surprised:

What kind of ecstasy soup did Larcade give you? Why are you here? Why do you have to follow the volcano? Isn't it good to follow me? We have a bright future!

Patch hesitated and did not answer directly.

Wuming asked Latarn: Your brother can also be a charmer?

No, Latane said, I only heard that Michaela would. But there are indeed many people following him.

It's impossible not to see such a heroic figure. Wuming said leisurely.

Seeing Wuming's unyielding momentum, Pachi finally felt helpless:

Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth-

He glanced at Ratan:

It doesn't sound right to him.

Okay, let's chat alone. Wuming pushed Latarn away, Let's talk.

At the beginning, I really wanted to help solve the problems in the store, and I wanted to ask Rakad for help. Patch explained, But in fact, I have never met Rakad yet. I said I was attracted by his heroic spirit. I lied to you.

I can tell. Wuming said, What surprises me the most is that you are so unconfident in telling lies. You are not as good as before.

Patch's old face turned red:

The truth about why I won't come back is...I...

Patch's voice was so thin that Wuming didn't hear it at all.

What? Wuming leaned his ear closer, I didn't hear it.

I'm in free love! Patch roared into Wuming's ear.

Wuming felt a double shock both mentally and physically, and some couldn't believe his ears:

What did you say?

Patch scratched his head and clicked his tongue: It's not really a love relationship, but I admire the spirit of the hostess of the Volcano Mansion. In a sense, I'm not going to lie to you, I am indeed attracted by the spirit of the hostess of the Volcano Mansion, but Not the man of the house.”

Wuming still didn't react, digesting Patch's news.

This news shocked him more than seeing Greg still alive.

You actually like someone else? Wuming raised his head, as if what he saw was not Patch, but a deformed ooze monster that killed Patch and then replaced his identity with his body and body.

Patch felt uncomfortable with that look:

I confessed honestly, and there's nothing you can do if you don't accept it. Brother, I'm finally moved, please don't let me lose-

Wuming rushed to Patch in one stride and stretched out his gauntlet——

He hugged Patch and laughed:

If you hadn't said it earlier, nothing would have happened if you had said it earlier. This is a good reason, and I support you!

Are you not angry anymore? Patch's face was a little purple from being strangled.

Why am I angry? Wuming smiled warmly and brightly, I just want to introduce to you my new business during the time you left - the New Affair Church!

Patch breathed a sigh of relief: As long as you don't retaliate.

Brother, my heart has finally moved, can I stop him? Wuming slapped Patch on the shoulder vigorously, Don't worry - I'll kill Rakad right away.

That's good - what are you going to do?
