Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

As soon as Se Lian's name came out, many magicians were frightened.

There are many schools in the academy, but the one with the deepest foundation and the most feared one is the Origin School.

In the academy's Caleros classroom, tutor Yazler is the highest-ranking teacher in the academy; in Olivenis classroom, tutor Luset is the highest-ranking teacher in the academy. The two masters created pyroxene magic, and to this day the mainstream of the academy is still comet and meteor magic.

The two highest-ranking teachers in the academy are both from the Origin sect.

As a disciple of the two masters, Se Lian is both from the Origin Sect and has also studied Kaliya magic. He has studied in multiple classrooms and has a solid foundation. The classrooms from all sides can't say anything, and every classroom will be convinced.

And his talent is astonishing, and he can dominate all the apprentices in the academy today.

It can be said that if there was no Full Moon Queen, Se Lian would be the leader of the academy.

It's a pity that the academy can no longer tolerate the ferocious research methods of the Origin Sect. No one wants to turn over scrolls and do experiments one day, only to be suddenly taken away by the Origin Sect and crushed into balls.

As expected, the apprentices were all extremely smart people. They immediately understood the pros and cons and said in unison:

She can't enter the academy!

Wuming laughed: I didn't say let her enter the academy. Aren't you a more important leader than me? I'm not qualified, so let someone with more qualifications come.

Wuming grabbed Se Lian's shoulders and pushed her in front of him:

And she is familiar with all aspects of the academy and Kallia, both internally and externally. She must be able to fully consider the interests of both parties and make reasonable adjustments. She is like a fox who breaks bread to a bear - ensuring fairness and justice.

Inside and outside... The apprentices' faces twitched under their hoods.

Is this a threat? This must be a threat!

The apprentices felt a little regretful. After all, the academy had declined, and the masters had either been expelled or left. The leaders of these schools might have been beaten by Se Lian back then.

But Wuming pushed Se Lian out with a smile, and it seemed that he was no longer ready to stand in front of the stage and show his face.

So despicable! The apprentice's opinion of Wu Ming became even worse.

It seems that everyone has no objection to Se Lian being the representative. Wuming clapped his hands, Then you can discuss it first.

Saying that, Wuming jumped into the crowd.

Where are you going? Se Lian asked.

Go and have a look at the big library. Wuming said, You have to admire the academy's palace of knowledge.

Wuming was stopped.

Hearing that he was going to the big library, the apprentices seemed to be even more anxious.

That won't work. The apprentices said, The academy is an important place, and no one else is allowed to enter.

Shouldn't a place like the Big Library be an open place? Wuming said.

The Full Moon Queen is studying inside, so we can't disturb her.

Wuming suddenly realized: Oh - I understand.

The college was closed, and these people thought that the information was sealed very well, and the disappearance of Man Yue was not exposed.

Wuming was a little surprised. It was not revealed that Se Lian had kidnapped Man Yue. Are all the people involved really dead?

Wuming thought for a while and said with a half-smile:

Okay, I'll just hang around outside and not go in.

Then send someone to follow you - an apprentice suggested.

But halfway through the proposal, the apprentice was elbowed in the ribs by the apprentice next to him.

What are you talking about? He is a businessman, how can he be dishonest? The apprentice said and looked at Wuming, You can do it yourself.

The apprentice who was elbowed also reacted and stopped blocking him.

Wuming looked at the two people's attitudes and became more and more curious.

He didn't delay, asked for a map of the interior of the college, and ran to the big library.

As soon as he walked to the corridor in front of the big library, before he entered the corridor, a magic sword stabbed him.

Wuming glanced at his head and dodged the attack:

What's going on? There's a fight inside too? Do you want to calm down?

Just as Wuming was about to take out his staff, he saw a knight rushing out of the corridor, wearing gorgeous armor and holding a sword and shield.

The knight held the sword in both hands and slashed at Wuming with a leap.

Wuming blocked with his shield. The knight drew his sword with one hand and slashed across Wuming's waist.

The nameless long sword was inserted from the gap under the armpit, blocking the horizontal slash.

The knight slapped Wuming in the face with his shield. Before the shield fell from Wuming's eyes, he took out a staff from his waist and stabbed Wuming.

The huge magic sword pierced Wuming's armor and impaled him in mid-air.

Awesome. Wuming applauded in mid-air, The offensive is crazy and continuous, and the routines are still organized.

Thieves, bring back Lady Lenara! the knight roared.

Exposed? Wuming thought of this immediately.

But he quickly dismissed that possibility.

Judging from the knight's state, it was more like an indiscriminate attack on all those who came close to him in madness, rather than having evidence.

No wonder those apprentices didn't stop me. Wuming suddenly realized.

Regardless of whether the knight of Calia killed him or not, it would intensify the conflict, and the college was not wasted anyway.

As expected of a student of the Magic Academy, he is an expert. Wuming murmured, A strong man will show mercy!

Wuming hung in the sky and persuaded the knight: If you have any difficulties, tell me and I can help. Our new round table can take on all tasks, and finding people is no problem.

The knight refused to listen and insisted on killing Wuming.

Wuming had no choice but to yell:

Wait! I know where the Full Moon Queen is!

This sentence finally had an effect, and the knight's movements stopped.

You know? said the knight.

Wuming nodded quickly: Don't you know? The queen has gone back to her parents' home to visit relatives. Kalia Walled City, Kalia Walled City knows, right?

Who are you lying to? The queen was kidnapped. I saw it with my own eyes...

The knight calmed down, reason began to take over, and he immediately saw through the nameless lies.

Really, really, if you don't believe me, just ask Lani. Wuming vowed.

Lani...Princess Lani...

Hearing this, the knight suddenly seemed to have lost all his strength, and sat slumped beside the corridor, speaking in a deep voice.

The knight's name is Mugram, a Kalia knight who protects Lenara. When Queen Full Moon disappeared, he wanted to find Lord Lenara, but Lenara did not respond to him. He walked all over the academy and couldn't find a key to get out. In the end, he could only sink at the door of the big library, dreaming that Lenara was still in the big library, and kill everyone who wanted to get close.

What a cruel heart. Wuming sighed.

He was talking about Lani. Lani had already found Lenara, but apparently did not inform Mugram, probably to punish him for his dereliction of duty.

The Queen of the Full Moon has been found, so just relax. Wuming comforted Mugram with concern, not realizing that he was the one who caused him to be like this.

I found it, that's good... Mugram muttered to himself, then turned and walked towards the elevator of the big library.

Why are you going? Wuming asked.

I no longer have the face to face Lenara and Lady Lani. Now that Lady Lenara has been found, it's time for me to die and apologize. Mugram resolutely started the elevator and went up, preparing to go into the depths of the world. Jump in the elevator shaft.

Wait a minute... Wuming quickly used gravity magic to pull him up, Don't you have a church in the lake area to atone for your sins? Why should you die to apologize?

Atonement requires stars and tears, Mugram said. I don't have any.

What a coincidence, I am the priest of atonement. You have been in the academy for a long time, but you don't know that we now have a brand-new atonement business. We don't need stars and tears, just runes. There is no contract for installments...

Really? Mugram didn't believe it. You want to cheat money, right?

Milie opened this business in partnership with me to save you confused sinners. Wuming was dissatisfied, You don't know what is good and what is evil.

Wuming explained to Mugram the details of the new atonement business, such as the cleansing of sins according to their severity.

Wuming's explanation was detailed and succinct, and it did sound quite believable. Mugram gradually listened and asked:

Then how many runes do I need to atone for my sins?

This has to be judged based on your strength and your sins. Wuming said, Let me think about it... Judging from the moves you just made, you are no worse than the big tree guard, and you are also a hero. If you are guilty... then 50,000 Rune.

Wuming felt that after all, he found someone to steal the full moon, and Mugram's crime was not that serious.

Fifty thousand?! Mugram's voice became louder, Who are you looking down on?

This was the first time that Wuming saw someone who thought his sin was trivial, and he couldn't help but feel a little in awe:

Then what do you think...?

Mugram said: I am the Knight of Kallia, and I also caused misfortune to Lady Lenara. The sin is so serious, no matter what, I need... one million!

Mugram's voice was sonorous, as if the words were squeezed out through gritted teeth, and he would get angry with anyone who didn't agree.

Wuming was in awe: You are... so right! How can a hero like you just give away fifty thousand? One million, it must be one million.

Wuming glanced at Mugram:

By the way, how about the hero's salary? How long do you plan to repay the atonement money?

Mugram was suddenly stunned. These words seemed to awaken the ignorant magician to a new realm of magic.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have no money.

The knight has a fief and a salary, but he has been guarding the big library for a long time, and it is not certain whether the original fief still exists. Adhering to the spirit of chivalry, Mugram did not pay much attention to runes and money. In addition, the maintenance of his armor and equipment cost a lot of money, so he did not save much savings.

Seeing Mugram's silence, Wuming immediately understood. He said very thoughtfully:

Don't worry, there are no runes, labor compensation can be provided.

You mean... work for you? Mugram said.

I am willing to hire a hero, the noble Knight of Kallia. Wuming complimented.

The caravan has not added new high-end combat power for a long time. The bigger the caravan is, the more dangerous it is. But a real man doesn't like to be subordinate to others. It's hard to buy him with runes, and he has to use words such as ideals and honors to deceive him.

I have sworn to serve Lady Lenora, don't think about it. Mulgram said, I have my own way of making money.

What method? Wuming asked.

Battle ritual, Mugram said.

You're very confident. Wuming praised.

There are battle festivals held for knights in various places, which is the hope of many knights to get ahead. Many people have lost all their money and have to travel to distant places to participate in battle festivals. If you lose, you will never recover, but if you win, you can get ahead and get a lot of rewards.

There are knights who live exclusively through battle festivals and ride horses to various festivals.

Mugram dared to earn one million runes through the battle festival, so he must have absolute confidence in his own strength.

That's very hard work. How many festivals do you have to attend? Wuming asked, Ten? Twenty?

One game is enough, even half a game. Mugram said, You need to assist me. As long as the principal is enough, one fight is enough.

Is the principal enough? Wuming hesitated, You don't... rely on gambling, do you?

Mugram answered silently in the affirmative.

Wouldn't it seem less honorable? Wuming said.

He didn't expect that the Knight of Calia had such skills - he was worthy of being a knight from a magical country, and his brain was very flexible.

“The strong take all,” Mugram said. “In addition to eating the opponents, they also have to eat the audience.”

Wuming always felt that after Mugram calmed down, some dangerous qualities began to show up.

But this has nothing to do with him. He only cares about collecting money, and he doesn't care how he makes money. Wuming also thoughtfully wrote a letter of recommendation to Mugram:

The arena in Stonewell is open. You can go there to participate in the battle festival. The city lord is my friend and will take care of you. I wish you good luck.

Thank you, Father. Mugram said gratefully.

He stopped trying to jump into the elevator shaft and turned towards his bright future.

He turned left from the corridor and suddenly froze in his steps.

The place where the portal was once placed is now an empty space.

Mugram was so excited that he forgot that the nasty thief not only stole the Full Moon Queen, but also stole the portal.

Can you get out? Wuming asked.

That's a good question. This question caught me...off guard. Mugram was a little embarrassed and admitted, I can't get out.

Look, doesn't this opportunity for redemption come right away? Wuming said, I came here this time just to discuss with the college about revoking the seal and restarting the college's connection with the outside world. We need something from both the college and Kalia. The representatives are here to negotiate peace talks, and you can help.”

Me? Mugram shook his head, I can't represent Kalia.

The one you are protecting can represent you. Wuming said.

Mugram was very proud: Lady Lenara can not only represent the academy, but also represent Kallia. If she were still conscious, this matter would not have happened at all - but Lady Lenara has disappeared.

The disappearance is enough. Wuming said, The college tried to hide this matter, I don't know why.

The academy has betrayed Kallia, and Lady Lenara is their hostage. Mulgram said, At least that's how it appears. They have to maintain this appearance.

Why? Wuming was puzzled.

Leyenians pay attention to pomp and circumstance. Mugram pointed to the gorgeous patterns and gems on the armor. Another reason is that the academy is also very divided. There is no agreement on one thing. If you hold a meeting and discuss anything, there will be no results. , will always tend to maintain the status quo in the end. Scholars who are at the forefront of research on pyroxene magic will be so conservative.

Mulgram said: It is said that the last time the college discussed a result at a meeting was a long time ago.

Oh? What resolution was passed that time? Wuming was curious.

It seems...to shoot down the witch Se Lian. Mugram wasn't sure, It was still a seal...I'm not sure.

That's really a long time ago. Wuming laughed,

Anyway, as the queen's knight, if you stand up and announce that the queen is missing, everyone will believe you. We can force the scholars to face the problem head-on without delay, force them to elect a new leader - and then open this broken door and embrace the junction.

Why are you doing this? Mugram asked.

In order to restore traffic and open the academy. Wuming raised his head and looked forward, his eyes shining brightly, This is a place to cultivate talents and should not be closed.

What an ambition! Mugram shouted, praising Wuming's mind and ambition.

By the way, I will train my miners and other technicians! Wuming was also very excited. The magic array in the academy can improve people's IQ and can quickly incubate my technicians. It just so happens that it is very close to various tunnels, so employees can find jobs nearby. .”

Wuming sighed: The college is such a good place.

Mugram was stunned: Aren't you a clergy? What kind of priesthood of the Round Table?

New Round Table Pachi's old store, I am the store manager. Wuming shook Mugram's hand, Atonement is our new business, thank you for your patronage.

Something's still wrong, but unfortunately I can't touch it anymore.
