Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The assassin fell unconscious and three scrolls fell out of his arms.

Wuming couldn't restrain his curiosity immediately when he saw it, and was about to open the scroll, completely forgetting that he was still dead.

Fortunately, no one paid attention to the body of the cricket next to the assassin. The room was still very dark because the door was blocked by Milie's huge turtle shell.

Push me, I can't turn over on my own. Father Millie shouted from outside the door. It takes a long time to turn over, and my heart will feel uncomfortable.

Professor Milian was not a strong person and was a little helpless. Fortunately, Se Lian used his big sword as a crowbar to turn the huge turtle shell over.

Thank you, you are such a beautiful and kind apprentice. Milie looked at Serian without a hood and praised Serian.

Ha. Se Lian smiled in cooperation, picked up the witch's hood and put it on. The crystals in her hands reflected the light from the ceiling and reflected in Milie's eyes.

Milie stopped talking.

How is Lady Lenora? Professor Milian checked the Full Moon Queen's injuries.

I gave you the medicine, nothing's wrong. A little puppet climbed up from the cradle next to Wuming's body and replied.

The little puppet made a nameless sound.

Se Lian looked at the puppet, and then at Wuming lying aside:

As for...

Wuming used the assassin's body to block the line of sight between himself and Full Moon, and was flipping through the scrolls, just like those magic apprentices in the school building who were still hiding under the covers with their hooded pyroxenes to illuminate their scrolls when the lights were turned off.

Wuming whispered: If you want me to avoid this, don't let Man Yue see me.

Se Lian kicked the car where Man Yue was sitting and turned it 180 degrees.

I can't see you anymore, Se Lian said.

Wuming pushed away the assassin's body and sat up:

This scroll is an assassination order.

Did you mention the assassin's master? After hearing this, Professor Milian immediately flashed behind Wuming, wanting to read the scroll.

No. Wuming didn't hide it, There is no person who issued the assassination mission, only the names of the assassin and the target.

Interestingly, there are three scrolls here, namely Full Moon's, Se Lian's, and mine. Wuming spread out the scrolls and motioned to Mirian and Se Lian.

Yours? Se Lian and Milian were both a little surprised.

Wuming was also surprised: Why is there Se Lian?

Milian looked at Wuming speechlessly:

You are the strangest thing here, right? Find out the situation.

Wuming said: I can understand the assassination of the Full Moon Queen. After all, she is the queen of Kallia and holds a big rune. But why do you want to assassinate Se Lian? Is Se Lian as important as the Full Moon?

Milian said: Although I don't want to admit it, yes, Serian is also a very dangerous person. Although not as good as Lady Lenara, but Lady Lenara is not here, she does have the ability and prestige to lead the academy - or in other words, deterrence. .”

You are so awesome. Wuming immediately gave Se Lian a high look.

Serian didn't care about this. Her ambition was not in the academy for the time being. At this time, she was thinking about the observatory at the Ailei Church.

Wuming said: As her boss, I am naturally more awesome - it is normal for her to assassinate me.

Se Lian knelt down and looked at the three scrolls in Wuming's hand:

When we were students, when we were learning calculations and stargazing, we were always asked to find patterns. What are the patterns in these three scrolls?

She lit the scroll with this:

Renara, I, Wuming... just correspond to the Kaliya royal family, academy, and caravan.

I understand, you are saying that the mastermind behind this is Du Juan. Wuming suddenly realized, I asked you why you saw Commander Du Juan walking out in a hurry when you came in.

Dujuan is despicable, but can he be that stupid... Milian said, Assassinated everyone except himself? What was he thinking?

But Du Juan is also very greedy. It's hard to say which one will prevail, greed or reason. Se Lian said, After all, stupid people always like to act emotionally.

Just ask and you will know. Wuming said.

Ask Chief Cuckoo?

Ask the assassin. Wuming mentioned the assassin, grabbed a staff from the ground, and sprayed ice slag on the assassin's face.

The assassin suddenly regained consciousness.

Be lenient if you confess, be lenient if you resist, be lenient if you tell the truth, be lenient - tell me quickly who sent you here? The nameless phrases came one after another.

The assassin stared at Wuming without saying a word.

You won't cooperate? Wuming said, I can charm you, so it's useless if you don't cooperate. If I give you another chance, what's your name?

Riley. The assassin spoke, 'Twilight' Riley.

It is true that dusk is approaching for you. Wuming said, But you are lucky to have met me, the sun. You are a sinner, and I can give you a chance to atone for your sins.

What kind of person do you think you are, do you deserve to be convicted? Riley said.

I am the atonement priest, what do you think? Wuming said, If you don't obey me, there is an official priest of the Fate Church over there. If not, I will take you to the volcano? Let Lacard convict you? I listen. He says he cares about sinners.

Wuming waved the scroll with Full Moon's name in front of Riley: Who are you going to assassinate? Is it Lenara, the king of a country, or the wife of King Radagon of Elden - the ex-wife. You... If you let children judge the matter, they will say you are guilty, but you actually question my qualifications?

Riley said nothing, just stared at Wuming coldly.

It seems you don't want to cooperate anymore. Wuming sighed and stopped talking nonsense to him. A pink light appeared on his hand and enveloped Riley.

Riley opened his mouth and spat at Wuming.

The black arrow spurted out with blood from his mouth, pierced the pink light, and headed straight for the nameless face.

The arrow hit the nameless shield and got stuck in the gap, making it impossible to move forward.

I'm wearing a helmet and you hit me. This kid is out of his mind. Wuming laughed at Riley.

My arrowhead is covered in scarlet corruption. Riley said.

Huh? Wuming didn't react yet.

The tip of the arrow suddenly opened, spurting out a cloud of scarlet venom.

Wuming was laughing at Riley, and he swallowed the whole mouthful of scarlet soup.

See what it means to be creepy and corrupt! Riley said.

Hearing Riley's terrifying declaration, Wuming didn't react at all. He chirped:

Who are you? Others are very taboo about this thing, and you use it as a weapon? It's very righteous, I like it.

In the pink air ball, Riley was silent.

You still haven't answered? Wuming said, It's time for this charm to take effect.

Wuming said as he pulled out the arrow stuck in the gap of his helmet.

In addition to the poison sac hidden at the tip of the arrow, the arrowhead is also full of scarlet traces.

It truly lives up to its name, an arrow covered in scarlet corruption.

Painted with scarlet corruption...

Ouch. Wuming yelled, stretched out his hand to fish Riley out of the ball of powdery air, and found that Riley was already out of breath.

The assassin licked the arrowhead in his mouth before spitting it out. The arrowhead also scratched his mouth, and the toxins had already been in the body for a while. He even pretended that nothing was wrong and exchanged a few words with Wu Ming while holding on to the poison.

Very decisive. Wuming murmured, This is such a happy death...

Wuming threw Riley's body aside:

“It seems we can only ask Lewis.”

Be careful of asking for death again. Se Lian said.

Then there's no better way. Wuming was helpless.

Ser Lian looked at Riley:

His stealth moves are not inherited from Celia.

It's not exactly the same as my system. Wuming said, Rather than being invisible, it relies more on the black mist to block sight.

Se Lian said: From the assassin's weapons and moves, we may be able to find clues about Riley's origin.

Can I find it in the big library? Wuming asked, But even if it can be found, it would be too troublesome.

Magic Professor Milian spoke:

There's no need to look it up, there's someone here who knows.

Milian looked at the turtle at the door:

Ask him, he knows more than you think.

Father Millie hesitated:

I do not want to say.

I don't want to say it, but it's not that I don't know. Wuming said, So you really know?

Milie answered Wuming with silence.

This is to protect Man Yue. You provide information so that we can better protect your Lady Lenara. Wuming said.

Milie hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: It's the assassin from the Round Table Hall.

Round table? Wuming was stunned, straightened up a bit, remained silent for a long time, and seemed to become serious.

After a long while, Wuming spoke cautiously:

I didn't send anyone to assassinate Man Yue. You have to believe me.

Who said it was you? Oogway was surprised, What's the matter with you?

Then you want to say it's Patch? Wuming said, No, he just hopes that Full Moon will return to normal and mediate for him - intercede. How can he arrange for someone else to assassinate Full Moon.

I'm talking about the round table, the real round table! Millie said.

The old force that that guy Baizhi belongs to is doomed to perish? Wuming said, That old boy Baizhi is targeting the full moon again? For Big Rune? No wonder he wants to kill me by the way.

The assassins of the Round Table serve Two Fingers. Milie said, Sir Bai Zhi may not be able to command those assassins.

Two fingers... Wuming muttered the name, I see. No wonder I came to the full moon to target Lani.

Wuming didn't understand: Then why kill me? I am a good citizen.

You didn't do anything to offend the Round Table? Milie asked.

Absolutely not. He vowed with unspeakable certainty.

You just said that the Round Table is an old force destined to perish. Milie reminded Wuming.

Is it because of this? Wuming was surprised, The round table is too small, and it actually uses this method to solve competitors?

Wuming touched his chin:

Is this a real business war...

Wuming thought about it for a while and saw Se Lian:

Then why did Se Lian offend the Round Table?

I am your employee. Se Lian said.

Yes! Wuming suddenly realized, I see, I completely understand. These despicable villains actually want to suppress us by assassinating my excellent employees. It's so abominable!

No, this isn't right... Milie felt that Wuming's interpretation was a little inappropriate, The Round Table is a fortress where heroes gather, and it's not a real store...

Of course it's not a store! Wuming said, A store would be so ignorant of its customers that it divides functional areas into what kind of virtues?

Wuming gritted his teeth and raised his fist in the air:

Despicable Round Table! Sooner or later, I will acquire you!

After issuing a heroic declaration of acquisition, Wuming Xiongjiu was ready to leave with high spirits.

But after taking two steps, he froze again and stood still.

What's wrong? Se Lian asked.

Help me move the full moon. Wuming pointed to the full moon in front of him, Don't let her see me. Just like the shadow in the cemetery in the target avoids the light of Luo Zesi, move her perspective bit by bit.

Se Lian stepped forward and pushed the cart manually, keeping Wuming in the blind spot of Full Moon's sight at all times, allowing Wuming to move smoothly to the door.

Thank you. Wuming thanked Se Lian, I will leave it to you first for the full moon.

Full moon? Se Lian sensed something was wrong and quickly grabbed Wu Ming.

If I die, I won't leave it to you. Wuming said.

Se Lian widened her star-like eyes:

Don't you know she is my enemy?

What enemy? Wuming asked.

The academic schools are different! Se Lian said.

Seek common ground while reserving differences. Wuming said, Although your schools are different, you have more in common!

What do they have in common? Are they all magicians? Se Lian sneered, You have to know that one consensus in our school is that the people who want magicians to die the most are their peers.

What do they have in common with magicians? Wuming said.

Then what do you want to say?

You are all widows! Wuming patted Se Lian on the shoulder, This is the common language I have finally won for you. Take this opportunity to get closer to the full moon, exchange parenting experiences, and build a closer relationship between parents. , get into her heart as soon as possible.”

Se Lian was stunned for a while:

...Man Yue was just abandoned, her ex-husband is not dead.

Oh, it's the same. Not all men who abandon women are dead ghosts. Wuming waved his hand, Anyway, you have to have a good relationship with her.

What do I want? Se Lian quit. I originally promised you to come to the academy for a tour. Now you tell me that you want me to spend an unknown amount of time to restore my enemy to normal?

After all, this is related to Patch's marriage. Wuming said.

What does his marriage have to do with me?

When the full moon returns, we can have a good relationship with Larcade, and we can have a good relationship with the volcano.

Se Lian thought for a while: It still has nothing to do with me.

Our New Round Table is a big family. Wuming began to talk about his feelings, The store is in a difficult period, so share more and aggrieve yourself. You see that Pachi is such a big boss, he is finally moved, and you can If you feel aggrieved, give the resources to Patch first, and then you won’t go to school first...

No. Se Lian answered decisively.

You help me take care of the full moon, so I can take care of the cuckoo. Wuming said, After taking care of the cuckoo, the caravan can go to the Yatan. Once on the Yatan, it will be one step closer to your giant observatory of the flame cauldron. Oh.

Se Lian was a little shaken: Your cake is too far away...

Wuming took out another scroll from his arms:

I will give you all the secrets of crystallized magic that I have mastered.

What's in here? Se Lian asked.

The breath of the white dragon. Wuming said, That is what we have discussed before. The research results on crystals, ancient dragons, wisdom in stones, and immortality are the ultimate research results of a great magician.

This... Se Lian pursed her lips, looked at the scroll, and then at the Full Moon Queen.

Wuming took out another object.

It was a rough ring, with several loops of iron wire wrapped around a piece of crystal fragment. It looked very rough and inconspicuous.

Wuming put the ring on Se Lian:

Plus this.

From the moment the ring was taken out by Wuming, Se Lian's eyes were attracted to it - attracted by the small crystal in the iron hoop.

It was a small crystal fragment. If placed in the academy, such a small fragment would probably only be disposed of as waste pyroxene. It is not even qualified to be used as a one-time prop like cuckoo pyroxene.

But Se Lian couldn't move her eyes away.

What is this? Se Lian asked.

The fragments of something I broke before, the terrifying results of crystallized magic, may be the ultimate result, I kept it as a souvenir. To be honest, I even doubted that I would die. This thing also made a contribution. Wuming Said, I can send you to do research.

Okay, I promise you. Se Lian said.

Wuming nodded and took the ring out of Se Lian's hand.

Eh? Se Lian watched helplessly as Wuming took the ring back.

If I give it to you now, do you still have the heart to take care of Man Yue? Wuming said confidently, I will give it to you after the matter is completed.

Se Lian stared at the nameless storage bag, pursed her lips, and had a very endearing expression:

How can I bear to let me see that kind of thing... You might as well not let me see it!

Hearing this, Wuming proudly held his head high and patted his money bag: This is to show you, a small employee, that your boss and I still have good things.

Work hard and I won't treat you badly. Wuming waved and left, Follow me and you will have meat to eat.
