Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Chapter 268 Khosrow with ___

Wuming didn't expect that this young man who seemed to be tired would make such an explosive request right out of his mouth.

Although according to the nameless principle, killing a demigod's concubine is not a big deal, but this person is the one that his good brother Patch admires.

Don't bully your friend's wife.

But on the other side, there are the demands of the famous Khosrow.

Well... Wuming covered his chest, Why, why do people always have to face dilemmas, why can't everyone be happy and get the best of both worlds?

What are you talking about? Diaros didn't understand Wuming's reaction.

Nothing, can I ask first, why did you want to kill Tanis? Wuming suddenly raised his head, grabbed Diaros's hands, and prepared to influence Diaros.

No matter how famous the Khosrow family was, it would definitely not be comparable to the Volcano Mansion. If Diaros insisted on killing Tanis, he would have no choice but to part with her.

In order to get them all, Wuming decided to first understand Party A's needs. If possible, he might be able to change the plan.

Diaros hesitated, but still told Wuming:

I have a follower...

Okay, that's it. Wumingxin said.

When I heard the first Wu Ming sentence, I knew it was going to be difficult.

People always like to transfer their own illusory experiences to others, which often makes people become more extreme.

If you had experienced the same experience yourself, you might not have such a big reaction, but as a bystander, you would be even more indignant than the person involved.

Most of Diaros' followers were harmed by the volcano and may have been killed.

This is not going to end peacefully.

Sure enough, Diaros spoke of his entourage with nostalgia and condolences.

Her name is Lenia. She is my follower, but she is also my childhood friend. We grew up together. She always does whatever she wants and disappears in the blink of an eye. I have to look for her for a long time every time... But One day she disappeared and I couldn't find her.

Diaros glanced at Wuming, with sadness on his face:

Of course, when we found her again, she was already a cold corpse. Of course - needless to say, you can guess that it was the rebels from the volcano who did it.

What a blood feud. Wuming sighed.

It would be difficult for him to mediate this kind of situation. Blood brings blood, crying brings crying, and pain brings pain. Once a fight breaks out and irreversible results are caused, generally the only solution is to completely eliminate the entity that carries the hatred.

Oh, that's not right. Wuming came back to his senses, Then why did you stay in the guest room of Huoshan?

Wuming looked at Diaros suspiciously, looking at his naked body and carefully placed armor, and then recalled Tanith's attitude:

You don't look like you're here for revenge. Are you sleeping in a volcano?

Of course I'm here for revenge. Diaros refused, Khoslaw speaks for himself with blood, of course I will let them suffer retribution!

So... what kind of retribution? Wuming said, Live in the Huoshan Mansion and feed them in poverty?

Diaros was a little embarrassed:

I'm ashamed to say that although I have always wanted to come to the volcano for revenge, I couldn't find the way to the volcano. The most insulting thing is that I was invited by the volcano.

Can you bear this? Wuming said, What did you do?

Although it was humiliating, I still came here because I thought I could go into the volcano to take revenge. Diaros said, I came to the volcano with a whip in hand.

Then what?

Diaros closed his eyes tightly, held his chin in his mouth, and fell into memories: Even though I got the location of the official residence of the volcano, the journey was very dangerous, and the blasphemous scenes along the way also made me exhausted physically and mentally. By the time I got to the volcano, I was already very tired. ”

Then you stayed in the volcano guest room first? Wuming said, Brother, you are so talented, you are worthy of being a member of the Khosrow family, calm and generous!

Of course I went to Tanis to ask for an explanation. Diaros said, I went over with the whip in hand. I turned all my suffering and anger into a crusade against the Volcano Mansion, and prepared to wait for the crusade. Tell her this when you go to Tanis, and she will be devastated and regret it!

What did Tanith say?

Tanisi didn't talk to me. When I went there, she was discussing something with someone else. Diaros said, I prepared so many lines, how could I waste it and just stand aside and wait for her to finish.

Wuming was in awe: As expected of a famous family, so polite.

Yes, our Khosrow family has been taught that even if we are facing a deadly enemy, we must salute before fighting. Diaros said, Just like declaring war before starting a war, and blowing trumpets and drums before starting a fight.

Wuming nodded in agreement: Tannisi is still discussing things with others? I thought there was no one in the volcano. I haven't seen anyone in the few times I've been here.

What are you talking about? Of course there are people at the volcano. Diaros said, Every time I want to argue with Tanis, she has people there.

So until now, you haven't actually read out your declaration of war? Wuming concluded, You're just staying in the guest room first?

Almost... Diaros said, Five thousand runes a night.

So busy? Wuming said, Why is there no one there every time I come here?

Is she deliberately avoiding me? Diaros was suspicious, then angry, Coward! She actually uses such a small trick!

Diaros said, preparing to go out to find Tanis.

Clothes, clothes. Wuming reminded him from behind.

Let me take a look first. Diaros opened the door a crack and exposed his head.

He drew back: There's someone.

Is there really someone? Wuming was curious, so he took over from Diaros and took a look.

But Wuming didn't see anyone: No one.

There is someone there. Diaros blushed, Is it the way I opened the door that was wrong?

Diaros opened the door and looked over again.

There are still people.

Wuming suggested: Let's watch it together.

Two heads stuck out from the crack in the door, looking in the direction of Tanith.

Then I saw a faded person turning around and leaving, quickly walking out of sight of the two of them, leaving only a piece of clothing.

You watch for a while while I go out. Diaros said, otherwise there will always be someone there.

I have to keep an eye on her. She doesn't have anyone, right? Wuming felt that it was a bit metaphysical.

Diaros returned to the room and picked up his clothes.

Of course, the famous Khosrow family cannot just go out naked and lose their dignity.

Diaros found luxurious linings, put them on one by one, and tied the straps slowly, one, two, three...

After tying the knot, he got off the bed and walked to the armor stand.

Take off that luxurious and complicated, delicate and elegant armor.

The full-metal armor was quite difficult to put on. Diaros tremblingly raised the upper body armor and put it on himself. During this period, it got caught on the tiny bulges of the armor, and I had to lift it up, rearrange the inner lining, and put it on again.

It took a long time to finish putting on one piece, and then started to put on the armor on the limbs.

But Diaros was obviously clumsy. When he was tying the armor, he accidentally let the knot loosen and had to take it apart and retie it. Sometimes I forget to put on the inner nail plates, so I have to take off all the outer ones and put on the inner ones again...

Wuming looked at Diaros' complicated dressing process and suddenly had a clear idea:

When did you find Tanith?

Night, almost early in the morning, Diaros said.

I always come to see her in the afternoon. Wuming said, Why don't you try other times? Maybe they have all kinds of things and arrangements during this time?

That makes sense, Diaros said, but I can't get up in the morning.

This... blood feud, can't we get up earlier? Wuming said.

Diaros suddenly burst into tears.

It's not like I don't understand this truth. Diaros resented, But usually, Renia wakes me up. When Renia is gone, I always oversleep...

Tears flowed quietly from Diaros's eyes:

When Lenia died, I didn't cry. But when her presence suddenly disappeared from those times when I usually spent time with her, I realized deeply that she was gone...

No one asked you to get up, and you started crying. Wuming concluded.

And this armor. Diaros struggled to put the arm armor on the bed. He leaned his body into the arm armor and used the support of the bed to tie the knot tightly. Every knight needs a follower to assist him. They wear heavy armor. The armor of our Khosrow family is more cumbersome. Without Renia, it would take me a long time to put it on and take it off every time...

Diaros once again realized the death of Fa Xiao in his daily life and shed tears:

Maybe it was because it was too late after taking off the armor, so I couldn't get up. Lenia...

Wuming said: So you... just sleep until noon every day, get up and put on the armor, and wear it until night. If Tanis has something to do, you wait until the early morning, then take off the armor. After taking it off, go to bed, then sleep until noon, and then get up. Wearing armor...?

I'm not that slow to wear it until evening, Diaros said. I can wear it by evening!

Tannis is also free in the evening?

Then it's dinner time. Diaros said, Tanith will invite the people from the volcano to have a dinner on the big octagonal table. After dinner, they will discuss things, and I won't be able to take action.

Invite you too?

Of course.

Do you...eat?

eat……

Can't you just eat? Can you be a bit promising? Wuming said.

I'm hungry. Diaros looked confused.

Wuming was silent for a moment and sighed: What a talent.

Wuming suddenly understood why he had not noticed this person in the Round Table Hall. Probably because...it's really inconspicuous.

Diaros also understood that he was a little embarrassed now and said:

But don't worry, it'll be fine once you're here.

Wuming waved his hand: I haven't said I want to help you yet -

Help me put on the armor. Diaros pointed to the tiny parts, As long as I can grab this time, I can kill Tanis!

Okay, I'm a follower. Wuming smiled and actually helped Diaros put it on.

Wuming put on the armor and tied it tightly while greeting Diaros:

How many days have you been here?

A month, Diaros said.

You really didn't take action even once? Wuming said.

I used a whip to teach someone from Volcano Mansion a lesson before, Diaros said, but the other person didn't take it seriously at all. Even though he was beaten to pieces, he just told me to whip him harder. That's a lunatic.

People in the volcano are indeed not normal. Wuming said, You have been here for such a long time, do you know anything about the volcano?

What do you mean? Diaros asked.

Do you think that the Huoshan Mansion looks much bigger from the outside than the inside? Wuming said, There should be a lot of space that is not open to the public.

That's true, but I haven't seen much. Diaros said, What is certain is that the rebels at the Volcano Mansion will come here regularly to gather. They will issue tasks and entrust those rebels to kill the Faded Ones. Compatriots.”

Is there a secret passage or something? Wuming asked, I guess the real boss of the Volcano Mansion, Larcade, is hiding in those areas that are not open to the public.

Diaros thought for a while: As you put it, I heard something moving next door some time ago.

Isn't it another tenant? Wuming asked.

It's not like that, Diaros said. These people at the Volcano Residence are all passers-by, and few of them stay for a long time.

Wuming stared at Diaros.

Why are you looking at me? I'm not from the volcano! Diaros glared.

And the sound was strange, Diaros said.

Strange noise? Wuming said, It's not good to eavesdrop on the strange noise next door.

There was a sound of scales rubbing together, Diaros said.

Scale friction? Wuming said, The sound of armor?

Diaros shook his head: I have seen a lot of armor, but there is no such sound. It is like...a bit like the sound of the scales of a flying dragon rubbing against each other when it moves.

Diaros remembered something again: By the way, when I was waiting next to Tanis and preparing to declare war on her, I heard her talking to her men, saying that one of the guest rooms was damaged and that I needed to find someone to repair it. .”

Diaros said mysteriously: I never saw any craftsmen coming, but later, all the guest rooms were opened, and I didn't see any of them out of service.

It's interesting... Wuming looked at the key in his hand.

Anyway, the keys to the guest rooms are all accessible, so you can check them out.

With that said, Wuming had already dressed all the armors for Diaros.

Wuming took a few steps back, took a closer look, and nodded:

If nothing else, the armor is really good. I have changed my taste in clothing in the border area.

Thank you, attendant. Diaros solemnly shook Wuming's hand.

Wuming laughed, grabbed a handkerchief, and sent Diaros off.

Go slowly, I wish you good luck. Wuming said.

If Wuming was a little worried that Diaros would kill Tanis before, now he basically has nothing to worry about.

Wuming waited for Diaros to go out, opened the door, and moved a chair to take a look.

If you're lucky, this armor can be put on Patch later...

Wuming took a look and found that Tanis was talking to another person over there.

Diaros stood aside, neither speaking nor speaking. He hesitated to speak, which was quite embarrassing.

She is like a shy little girl who is too embarrassed to interrupt when others are talking.

But Wuming didn't look at it for long before the man left and no one came back.

Now there was no one in front of Tanis. Diaros looked around and saw no one coming. Not far away, Wuming was looking this way.

Diaros gritted his teeth, tightened his grip on the whip, pointed it at Tanis, and glared angrily:

Witch! I'm here to take revenge on you -

Faced with this straightforward statement, Tanis was already sitting on her seat, motionless and unresponsive.

I'm talking to you! Diaros said, Tannis of the Volcano Mansion, you are the mistress of the Volcano Mansion, but you have devoted yourself to blasphemy and hunted your compatriots-

Fellow hunter, heinous and full of filth... Tanis answered for Diaros, You rehearsed every night in the first half month of coming here, and I heard it.

Diaros raised the whip in his hand: You know I want to kill you?

There are very few things that happen in the volcano that I don't know. Tanith said, This is my mansion after all.

Then you didn't stop me? Diaros frowned.

I didn't expect that it would take so long to wait for a month. Your cowardice is beyond my imagination. Tanis said.

Diaros was furious, raised his whip, and was about to hit Tanith.

But his movements were a little too wide, and he raised the whip too hard. As a result, the petal whip full of sharp blades got wrapped around his waist, leaving a mark on his armor, but the whip was not thrown out.

The scene was a little solemn for a while. After a while, Diaros sneered and said:

As expected of the hostess of the Volcano Mansion, she is very calm.

Tanith said nothing and looked at Diaros calmly.

Don't think that I really don't know how to use a whip. Diaros untied the petal whip and whipped it towards Tanis.

Diaros pulled the whip, and the whip whip moved backwards, and the tip was struck in front of Tanis, and the sharp air cut Tanis' silk skirt.

Why don't you do it! Diaros said angrily, Are you looking down on me?

Tanis adjusted her skirt and covered the exposed skin:

You want to duel me?

Yes, I want you to understand that your rebellion will not go without retribution. Khosrow speaks for it with his blood.

Then you should know that I can designate my knights to help me fight. Tanis said.

This is your freedom. Diaros held his head high and followed the knight's etiquette.

Tanis nodded, tilted her head and said to the Crucible Knight standing behind her:

Don't beat him to death.
