Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Lewis gave the order, and the cuckoo knights drew their swords one after another.

Knock charged, raised his leg and kneed the cuckoo leader. After being blocked by Lewis with his arm armor, Knock flipped very lightly, passed his arm from above, and squatted on Lewis's shoulder.

At the same time, he threw out the fluid weapon from his waist, wrapped it around Lewis's neck like a soft whip, and drew a fine blood mark with the blade facing inwards.

Magri and Wuming were both wearing armor, standing back to back with clenched fists facing the cuckoo knights surrounding them. Magri is now strong and strong, and has considerable intimidation power even with his bare hands.

The Cuckoo Knight, who had just drawn his sword, hesitated. They looked at Lewis for instructions on the next step.

Lewis had the blade wrapped around his neck, his expression indifferent:

Tell the people outside that the trebuchets and crossbows are aimed at the camp.

Let us go. Nok tightened the blade a little.

I don't see your respect. Lewis said, You, and the businessman, you asked for our help, and I helped. We lost people, money, and time, but we didn't get your promise. the benefits of.

Lewis stood up and became more and more gloomy: And you are still bringing weapons to my camp. I don't like this kind of deal.

I don't like it either, Wuming said, But in business, there are profits and losses, so be patient.

Lewis glanced at Wuming:

What would you do if you lost money?

Kill those brats who made me lose money. Wuming's tone was ferocious, as if he was recalling some painful past events.

Hey, hey, hey. Magri woke up Wuming, We are the ones being ripped off now.

Nok said coldly:

We are faded ones, we will not be afraid. We can bet that the blessing will bring us back to life. What about you? Are you also a faded one?

Lewis was silent for a moment: You are breaking the ancient contract.

You made the first move, Nok said.

Behind Lewis, who could not see, a few drops of sweat dripped from Nok's forehead.

The faded person can receive the blessing again, or be discarded by the blessing at any time. In the past, she did not dare to let Magri take risks, and even more so now.

Nok winked at Wuming and Magli.

This is a battle of willpower and a psychological game between both sides.

Nock believed that as long as all three persisted, she believed Dujuan would back down.

Du Juan is despicable, but she should also be shrewd. There is no need to fight to the death.

Nok was trying to wink at Magli Wuming, but saw Wuming turn around and kick Magli in the butt.

Caught off guard, Magri lost his balance and was subdued by Du Juan, with a sword held at his neck.

As for Wuming, before his feet even landed, Du Juan came up behind him and put a sword on his neck.

Lewis laughed: This man is suitable to be a cuckoo.

Nok's canthus heals:

You traitor! You betrayed us for Rune!

Am I that kind of person? Wu Mian spoke sternly, I will never betray my clients for Rune!

What's that for? Nok glared at him.

Sword. Wuming said.

sword?

My sword! Wuming said, I told you it's precious. You guys are so quarrelsome. What if my sword is damaged or hidden?

Nok opened his mouth, no longer knowing how to comment.

You put everyone in danger just for your sword? Sword or not!

This is no ordinary sword, it carries my memories. Wuming said, Memories are very precious, okay?

Wuming looked at Lewis:

General, can I get my swords back? I really don't trust them in your hands. The business can be discussed later. The sword must be in my hand.

What if I don't give it? Lewis said.

“Business can be discussed later, or never discussed again.”

Lewis looked at Wuming for a moment and said:

Bring him his sword.

After a while, the heavy sword skeleton was moved in front of Wuming, and three soldiers carried it together.

No wonder you are so precious. Lewis admired the rough and ferocious sword.

Wuming looked helplessly at the sword.

After a moment, his real sword was brought up.

Wuming put the long sword on his waist and let out a sigh of relief:

Much more comfortable - let's talk business?

Wuming, wearing a sword, approached Lewis.

As soon as he took a step, the circle of swords was raised again.

Wuming glanced at the circle of long swords that had been placed between his neck and the gap between his armor:

My coming to visit in person reflects my respect for you. If the peace talks can be completed, the profits from operating the Dikdas Grand Elevator will be divided equally between you, Kallia and the college to make up for your losses and help you reach higher levels. One floor.”

We're not looking for money, Lewis said.

That quite surprised me. Wuming said, After all, I have heard about Du Juan's deeds in the lake area, and my own caravan has been robbed by you several times.

Wuming said: Look, I'm not obsessed with the past grudges. Why don't we each take a step back?

What we want is respect, Lewis said. If Kalia doesn't respect us, we will not cooperate with them.

Very good, the negotiations are finally on the right track. Wuming smiled happily with a circle of swords around his neck, What are your conditions? What does Kalia need to do?

Contract, a contract of alliance. Lewis said, Add our emblem to Calia's emblem.

I'm afraid...it's not easy to handle. Wuming said, As far as I know, you attacked the Kaliya royal family and returned with a disastrous defeat. Let them accept you directly, and also engraved the cuckoo on the Kaliya emblem...

We just didn't attack the Kaliya Walled City. Lewis said, We were trapped by that damn magic trap...

There are powerful people behind Kalia. Wuming said.

I heard that she is the princess of Calia. Lewis curled his lips, Women in Calia are very troublesome. However, Du Juan still firmly controls most of the lake area.

I suggest that you only accept the sharing of runes and part of the technology. Wuming said, Kalia will probably not accept the direct merger and change of badges.

Then why should I cooperate? Lewis said, Am I short of money? Or am I short of technology?

We have cooperation with Kaliya Walled City. Do you want to hear some inside information? It's provided for free. Wuming said.

I have a hunch that you want to threaten me.

It's advice. Wuming said, Full Moon Queen Lenara's condition seems to be improving and she may recover.

Lewis’s expression finally became serious.

Possible recovery?

Wuming nodded.

Lewis fell silent.

Wuming said no more, waiting quietly for the other party to make a decision.

If the Queen of the Full Moon can recover, do you still need to ask me to cooperate? Lewis said, With Lenara here, neither the academy nor the cuckoo can cooperate with Kalia - they can only obey.

So I suggest you establish a good relationship first and sign the contract in advance.

Lewis thought for a moment and said to Knock:

get out.

Wuming also nodded to Nok and pointed to the sword at his waist.

The blade was removed from his neck, and Lewis stood in front of Wuming:

I will go to the academy. Whether the cooperation can be successful depends on Kalia's sincerity.

I will try to make them sincere. Wuming said.

The three of them left the camp, and Nok sat on Magri's shoulder, looking behind him, always worried that Du Juan would regret it.

She waited until she was out of the trebuchet's attack range before getting off Magli's shoulders, then turned around and kicked Wuming.

Quite vindictive. Wuming muttered.

The Full Moon Queen is going to recover, is it true? Nok asked Wuming.

real.

Nok sighed: Big Rune is gone.

Wuming didn't answer. He didn't want to expose Big Rune's whereabouts in front of the Faded Warriors.

Nok no longer hesitated and asked about the nameless eternal city:

You went to the Eternal City? Which one?

Nokron. Wuming replied, Your hometown?

No. Nok stopped caring and concentrated on his way.

In front of Cuckoo's tent, Lewis watched the three people disappear from sight and called a few Cuckoo knights.

Cuckoo Knight said: Are we really going to cooperate with Kallia?

How is it possible? Lewis said, How can we make money without fighting? Will we be needed in peacetime?

But the academy seems to want to have peace talks.

Those cowards in the academy probably gave in when they found out that the full moon might recover. They've always been like this.

What should I do, boss?

Lewis smiled: Wouldn't it be better if the peace talks couldn't proceed? That's why I have to go to the academy.

He wielded a great sword and slashed at imaginary enemies.

Assassinating the Full Moon Queen? Cuckoo Knight asked, Would it be too dangerous?

We're going to rob the big rune. Lewis said, Of course, if Queen Full Moon still has heirs, we can kill a few of them. Anyway, killing a few heirs won't be irreversible.

==========

Burke's dark circles are quite serious. Even on his demi-human face, two dark circles can be clearly seen.

Physically, he is very healthy and has not dissolved anywhere.

There's progress, I'm gratified. Wuming praised Burke.

At this time, both Burke and the Full Moon Queen were riding in a large carriage, which was about the same length and width, like a mobile cabin.

Millie is the puller and horse of this magic pumpkin carriage, and the purple magic light of the gravity stone radiates from the limbs to the carriage.

Wuming and Nok returned to the Magic Academy and passed the Berum Church, encountering a construction caravan. The caravan is preparing to move the Perum Church.

Full Moon Queen and Burke were also in the convoy.

The Full Moon Queen looked much better and no longer rubbed Burke into balls so enthusiastically.

Burke was no happier.

She won't dissolve my body now. Burke had tears in his eyes, But she wants to dissolve my brain...

My child, where are you? Lenora walked out of the carriage and hugged Burke as if petting a fluffy dog. Good boy, I will definitely make you a perfect child. Let's go How about doing the questions? You have to do a hundred questions today. Have you mastered the pyroxene magic I taught you yesterday? You are going to learn new magic today...

With tears in his eyes, Burke looked at Wuming:

Boss, save me...

Isn't it pretty good? Wuming also touched Burke's head, When she recovers a little bit, she won't be like this anymore.

After Wuming comforted Burke, he started chatting with Milie:

How is the Full Moon Queen recovering?

Yes, but Lady Lenara has been in this state for some time. Milie said, I doubt that starting with the child alone will not completely restore her.

The influence of the charm should have been eliminated, right? Wuming said, Wait a little longer, this Radagon addiction should be gone.

It's not that simple. Milie sighed, Love is the most poisonous thing in the world. It is harder to remove than scarlet corruption.

Is this an objective description, or is it a sigh because you're high again? Wuming asked.

Of course it's an objective fact. Milie said. I have witnessed many newlyweds. As a priest, I have also listened to many people who have broken up.

Wuming immediately sensed the business opportunity:

Can these stories be published as a storyteller?

You are less human than me. Milie said, A priest should not reveal other people's secrets. This is basic morality!

Okay, so after listening to so much, do you have any good opinions? Wuming asked.

The poison of love is easy to remove, but also difficult to remove.

What the priest said is quite mysterious, Wuming said.

Those who are lovelorn lose the happy time they once had. Memories and emotions will be connected with each other, and they will often recall the past. Milie said, For example, every time Lady Lenara sees a horse, she will think of her past with Radha. Once the memory of Oka-sama riding a horse together is recalled, he will suffer pain again. In order not to bear it, I can only bury my soul in madness.

Wuming suddenly realized: No wonder you have to pull the car yourself. What do you mean, then, to keep Man Yue away from things that can stimulate her?

Milie said: No, that's useless. Even if there is no external stimulation, Lady Lenara will often recall the past. We must find a way to make Lady Lenara look forward.

Wuming hesitated: So... we need to put a corrector on her neck so that she can't turn back?

It's washing and covering up her original memories. Millie said, Just like an oil painting, covering the painful old memories with beautiful new memories, and washing away her pain with happy emotions.

How to do it? Wuming didn't know.

Milie said categorically: Find a great man for Lady Lenara and let her get over her old emotional wounds!

Okay, tell me, where is the good man? Wuming took out his note, I'll tie him up for you too.

I don't know. Milie, who had just been so arrogant, wilted and began to talk, Honestly, it is impossible to find a more perfect man than Lord Radagan. Lord Radagan is a near-perfect hero, infinite. To be close to the ultimate perfection, if you want to be better than Lord Radagon, you can only be a perfect hero. But there is no perfect hero in the world... What are you doing?

Wuming found an oil painting from somewhere and had already painted it.

The perfect hero. Wuming replied.

He turned the painting around, stretched out his hands, and showed it to Millie.

The knight's iron bucket-like helmet is decorated with a red feather, a green cape, and a large sun emblem on the white coat.

Is there still this person? Milie said, Where is he? Can you find him?

I can't find him. Wuming shook his head, I'll never find him.

Milie said: That's useless.

We don't need perfect heroes. Wuming looked at the simple painting, The inspiration he gave me is that as long as we pursue perfection, we can see the virtual image of perfection, allowing us to achieve perfection.

Milie was stunned: What on earth are you talking about? Does this have anything to do with curing Lady Lenara?

It means you don't need to find a perfect hero, just find someone who truly loves her. Then we just need to grow together to perfection. Wuming said, She is the Queen of the Full Moon, so there should be many people who love her. Bar?

Milie was silent for a moment and muttered:

I guess... not one.
