Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Under the pyroxene stone cover, Se Lian pursed her lips unwillingly, and her eyes seemed to bleed.

Isn't that true? Wuming couldn't understand, Aren't you a tutor? If you just write the test papers yourself and treat them as your own children's grades, how can you still be inferior to Burke? In other words, how can you be inferior to Burke?

Se Lian said: Of course I am better than your tailor. But there is no meaning, do you understand? This is not a fair duel at all. I ghostwrite for my children. It is not honorable to win. It is just self-deception. You will rely on yourself. Are you going to bully children if you are powerful?

Seeing Se Lian's attitude of not deceiving himself, Wuming nodded with great appreciation: You should still remember that you don't actually have children, right?

Serian stared at Wuming, like a paranoid magician looking at some truth: Can you come often in the future and be my son?

I'm afraid not. Wuming shook his head, The situation in Yatan is much more serious than I imagined. The caravan stumbled as soon as it went up. My future work focus can only be on the Yatan Plateau, not Dikdas Under the big lift.”

Se Lian was not too disappointed: I knew you were unreliable. Fortunately, I'm already looking for new ways.

Without you, the best employee, I can't do anything alone. Wuming sighed, I came here this time to ask for your help.

What happened again? Se Lian said, You are far away on the Yatan Plateau, so I can't help you.

We encountered another meteorite on the edge of the Yatan. Wuming said, I don't know if it was Latarn's handiwork, so I would like to ask your stargazers to measure the starry sky and rule out other possibilities.

Okay, I will leave this matter to the apprentices. Se Lian said, But the sky over the Yatan Plateau is bound by the golden tree, so it will be very difficult for them to observe and speculate. You may have to wait a little longer. .”

I believe in your level more. Wuming said, And you also have a new observatory in Airei Church. Your calculation accuracy should be higher, right?

There was reluctance in Se Lian's tone: It's a pity that I have a lot of things to do now. I can't go back to my dear child - my observatory yet.

What's the matter? Wuming said, Isn't it just a matter of comparing with Man Yue whose child is better?

This is the task you gave me. Se Lian said, Are you going to say it's not important now?

Wuming choked and felt a little guilty: Then it's not so busy, right? You can't work around the clock all day long, constantly competing with Full Moon to see whose unlucky child is better.

I have other things to do. Ser Lian said. In order to solve Burke's problem, I also became a lecturer and gave lessons to other magician apprentices. Taking advantage of this convenience, I am preparing to revive Origin in the academy.

Wuming frowned after hearing this.

The Origin School is that fierce and wild school that regards fellow magicians as experimental materials.

Didn't you promise me not to do this? Wuming asked.

Se Lian said: I promised you that I wouldn't do this myself. I didn't say that I couldn't spread it.

Wuming said: You really know how to take advantage of loopholes.

No problem. There are not many talents left in the academy. There are very few talents who are really capable of contacting the origin. I just plant the seeds of a star in their hearts first. Se Lian said, The impact will have to wait. It will take a long time to show.”

Wuming said: I'm afraid you will be attacked by a group again.

Maybe not? I think everyone in the college agrees with me. Se Lian said, After all, I didn't use them for experiments.

Wuming was not familiar with the academy and could not say anything more. He could only hope that Se Lian knew what he knew.

But you did this job by the way when you were a lecturer. Wuming said, Why don't you have any time?

I still want to study the crystal you gave me. Se Lian raised his hand.

The sparkling ring was set on an edge of the Se Lian crystal glove.

What a sin... Wuming a little bit hated his generosity at the time, Wealth does not reveal wealth, this is a wise saying.

Help me now, and I'll give you more crystals. Wuming had no choice but to continue bleeding.

Unexpectedly, Se Lian shook his head:

This is not just about crystallization. It's about another important thing.

What's important?

I want to defeat Man Yue! Se Lian waved her fist, I want my child to defeat her child!

I told you I can't come to your place often...

It's not you. Se Lian said, I want to create another child.

Ah? Wuming didn't understand why Serian was about to give birth to a second child, Do you want me to help you host the marriage ceremony? I can do it for free, just help me solve the stargazing problem.

A bond? Se Lian looked at it dismissively, Inefficient and incompetent. Look at the Queen of the Full Moon, she bonded with the hero in the border area, but what about the children she gave birth to? It's not like that, but she is crazy, and she also We need to rescue her.

The Full Moon Queen's child has blocked your destiny for many years. Wuming reminded her, You and Topps combined couldn't defeat the other child.

But they are neither humans nor ghosts now. Se Lian said, And for children, loyalty is also very important. I want to create a perfect child and defeat the full moon!

Wuming looked sideways: Then what are you going to do? Find a more powerful hero to associate with? The only one more powerful than Radagon is the King of Elden, right?

They all say that marriage is an inefficient gamble. Se Lian spread his arms and assumed a wise posture, I want to use my knowledge to explore the wisdom in the stone and make an artificial human.

Artificial man... Wuming said, Is this technology taboo in the border area? Man Yue is also doing it.

Yes, because Man Yue is also doing it, if I can surpass her and create a perfect child, then not only will the child surpass her child, but my research results will also surpass her.

Se Lian pinched the chin of the azure stone mask:

Magicians have done a lot of research in this area, from the Son of Platinum to the full moon's secret of rebirth, as well as the limb grafting technology you brought, plus my understanding of the wisdom in crystallized human stones, and my study of pyroxene. , will definitely be able to recreate the life of the stars.”

Se Lian's tone became more enthusiastic:

Yes, although you don't let me study the origin, I can't become a shining star or a child of the star yet, but I can create a child of the star and let the child of the star become my child.

The more she talked, the more excited she became: This is a feat no less than becoming a child of the star. By then, my child will definitely be able to surpass the child of the full moon! Mother of the Star... Well, that's not a bad title.

Seeing that Se Lian was indifferent and completely immersed in the excitement of the new magic topic, Wuming was dumbfounded and pointed at himself:

what about me?

You and I will never forget it either. Se Lian said, You can be the child's father.

That's not what I said. Wuming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Serian thought for a while: Oh, you are afraid that I will neglect you if I have a second child, right? Don't worry, I won't do that.

I'm talking about using stargazing to predict star trajectories! Wuming became angry, You old pedants, be careful of going too far!

Serian thought for a while: You should go find the professors at the college. They are also experienced stargazers and should be much better than ordinary apprentices.

This is the only way... Wuming said, How do I get there? With such short legs?

I'll write a letter of introduction and ask them to help you. Se Lian said, If nothing happens, I'll do some research on the crystallization first.

How are you going to create a second child? Wuming asked.

Just like the crystallized man. Se Lian said, If a child is carved out of pyroxene, a body completely composed of pure pyroxene will surely be able to emerge with amazing wisdom. I already have an idea, and the prototype will soon be ready. If we can make it, you can come and take a look when the time comes.”

Would that be stronger than a puppet? Wuming asked.

Don't talk about this ordinary puppet, it will be stronger than the golem. Se Lian said, The Star Child is the strongest.

Wuming thought thoughtfully: Okay, that's okay...

He no longer disturbed Se Lian, peeled his consciousness out of the doll, and returned his consciousness to the Yatan Plateau.

Wuming woke up and found himself lying in a coffin.

The coffin was not big, and seemed to be made of temporary wooden boards. The sharp edges could be seen to be Millicent's handiwork.

Between the coffin and the body was filled with runes.

He seemed to be drowning in a sea of ​​runes.

There are also laces composed of various flowers and plants piled around the coffin.

Surrounded by the coffin, the nameless employees were mourning for the nameless person. Their voices were hoarse and the mourning lasted for a long time. It was so moving that people could not help but cry along with them.

Teacher, I know you love runes, so I will leave these runes for you. From now on, your coffin will be the coffin with the most runes. If any tomb robbers lift the lid of your hall in the future, they will definitely marvel at your wealth. Millicent held the edge of the coffin and said with tears.

Wuming sat up from the coffin and looked at Millicent:

I said I'd leave it to you, and you're going to do this to me?

Millicent was startled when she saw the nameless corpse. She leaned back and pulled out the Secher scimitar, as if she was alert to something.

After a while, after realizing that Wuming had not turned into a dead person, Millicent put down the scimitar again and hugged Wuming.

Teacher, you're not dead, that's great. Millicent cried with joy.

Why do you think I'm dead? Wuming was hugged, and his helmet was a little crooked.

You fainted suddenly and didn't breathe at all. Millicent hesitated.

Having no life means he is dead? Wuming said.

Mr. Patch said so too... Millicent whispered.

Patch... Wuming looked for Patch and found the bald man snickering in the distance.

Wuming probably understood what was going on, and he helplessly stood up from the sea of ​​runes, and the runes slipped off his body one after another.

Wuming touched Millicent's head: He's just teasing you. Don't be so reckless next time. I'm fine.

Millicent nodded.

Wuming looked serious: Besides, your funeral was very wrong. How could you do it like this?

The incident happened suddenly, and we don't have any more conditions to organize a better funeral. Millicent said.

I mean you shouldn't leave so many runes for a dead person like me. Wuming said, Just leave a small amount for your own sake. I'm really dead, and these runes are useless to me. You have to remember- Runes are spent while alive. When a person dies, the money is not spent, which is the most painful thing in life.

Millicent was stunned: Will it still be painful if you are dead? I thought that for you, the most painful thing is to spend all the money before you die.

That means you don't know enough about being a teacher. Wuming said, Money is something external to the body - do you know how troublesome it is to have money on you when you die? It's all a burden!

Millicent nodded in understanding.

Wuming said: Anyway, if I really die, this money will be distributed to employees and passers-by. Don't keep it for me. Millicent, remember, life without Rune is meaningless!

Wuming talked Millicent into confusion, then stood up, pulled himself out of the coffin, and collected all the runes in the coffin.

This is not pure enough. Wuming looked at the runes, It seems that you have saved them - take them all back.

The employees then took back all the runes they contributed. In the final statistics, there were still some runes missing, and Wuming subsidized them back.

After finishing these things, Wuming finally got some free time and approached Patch angrily: What do you mean?

What do you mean? Pachi looked at Wuming with a half-smile.

You knew I couldn't lie down in the coffin, so you lied to Millicent and everyone to take the trouble. Isn't it interesting? Wuming said, You lied to one or two people, and no one wants to know you. You have cheated me with this lie. A group of people, the crowd is not that rational, be careful of being beaten by a group of people.

Patch laughed playfully: Isn't this asking you to do me a favor?

Please help me with my body?

Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living, Patch said.

What do you want to do? Wuming said, take advantage of this opportunity to collect money from others?

Am I that mean? Patch said.

Wuming stared at Patch without saying a word.

It's a lot. Patch confessed honestly, But more importantly, I want to use you to hold off Tragus.

Dajiao? Isn't he injured? Wuming asked.

With the witch that is the witch here, and the big guy is extremely healthy, he recovered very quickly. Patch said, But he can just walk - he can't live well as soon as he can walk, and he has to go out with his injuries. , said he was recuperating on the road and wanted to fulfill his promise.

The promise of killing the blood finger? Wuming asked.

It's not that good. Patch said, That guy only has a healthy body, but his brain is really not good. He can't beat the bloody finger when he is intact, but he insists on dying for the so-called chivalry. How can I persuade him to do so? He doesn't even listen. He insists on dying, so I'll let you die and hold him off for a while.

That's the reason. Wuming was a little surprised, Okay, I forgive you.

Patch said: The dead are more useful than the living, and you, the immortal guy, are the most useful. If you want to save his life, I suggest you get rid of the bloody finger first. With your strength, it's not difficult, right?

Wuming said: Let's wait until Bloody Finger comes to visit us. Yatan is so dangerous now, I don't dare to leave you too far.

Wuming sighed: The junction is too big, I'm afraid of getting lost.

We have Millicent here, and we have the Sons of Omen to help us - although those Sons of Omen are short-lived ghosts and suffer from diseases, they are indeed strong. Patch said, There shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?

It's hard to say. Wuming said, That golden people are not simple.

Golden People? Patch said, Which one are you talking about? Most of our employees are Golden People.

The one who knocked Tragus flying. Wuming said, Can hit Dajiao and seriously injure him - the power is mutual, he also withstood the impact as much as Dajiao. Dajiao's heavy armor was hit like that, He is a small Golden Citizen, dressed in cloth, but he didn't turn into minced meat. How can he be an ordinary Golden Citizen?
