Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The appearance of Ailei Church is very different.

The roof of the original Ailei church is almost completely gone, and it is surrounded by ruins.

Today, the Ailei Church is turned upside down, and the roof has been repaired to create a large canopy to protect it from wind and rain.

The huge roof is supported by four large columns, but the walls have been removed, revealing the internal structure at a glance.

Four large flags hung from the four sides of the roof, with a round heraldry of a soft-boiled egg painted on it, and inside the coat of arms there was a bald head.

The banner reads: Patch’s old store.

The merchant Gale was leaning on a big pillar, sitting cross-legged next to the donkey, with many commodities arranged in front of him.

And not far from Caleb, the anvil jingled.

An armored man wielding a hammer repairs a Fader's weapon.

The blacksmith in armor pumped the bellows of the furnace. The flames in the furnace were particularly fierce, tempering the weapons to become stronger and sharper.

The Faded One gives the weapon to the blacksmith, turns around and can talk to Galle to buy goods.

The first item purchased was the pile of bone fragments that Caleb placed in the most conspicuous place.

Return bone chips quickly gained favor among faders because of their lightness, ease of use, and quick response.

This kind of teleportation device is faster and does not require that bulky teleportation gate. Even if the faded ones are chased by powerful enemies, they can escape smoothly as long as they see the right time.

Saved my life. The faded man sighed, paid generously, and equipped himself with a return bone fragment. This thing is so useful.

It's not enough. The blacksmith chatted with the faded man while forging iron, Now the return bone fragment can only be fixed back to our Ailei Church. It would be more useful if you could freely set the return location.

I'm satisfied. The faded one said, I can just come back to replenish my supplies.

The blacksmith handed the prepared weapon to the faded one:

Young people must have dreams. Sooner or later, we will spread teleportation arrays all over the junction and create a teleportation network so that everyone can travel safely and conveniently.

Then I wish you success. The Faded One took the weapon, blessed them, and left Patch's old shop.

The Faded Ones left, and Ailee Church fell into a brief silence.

It's so busy. Gale leaned on the donkey, I've never seen so many guests, there's an endless stream.

I'll be even busier in the future. Wuming put down the hammer and didn't seem to feel any discomfort next to the stove.

With good things like returning bone fragments and the unknown forging process, the number of customers in Airei Church is increasing.

Many faded people heard about Airei Church and made a special detour to see it.

The faded ones have truly experienced the meticulous and considerate service provided by Patch's old store, but they still don't take it seriously when Wuming claims that Airei Church is the new round table.

Obviously, there is still a long way to go before a store can compete with the holy land that faded people aspire to.

When Wuming and Jialie talked about this situation, they couldn't help but sigh: This is called brand effect. People yearn for that kind of bad service.

Gale said: You really want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Round Table, that is where heroes gather.

And we are a place that cultivates heroes. Wuming said with great enthusiasm, One day, people's sense of belonging will belong here, instead of the round table hall that shuts out many faded people and provides poor services.

It's a good idea, but let's solve the problem at hand first. Gale pointed to the stall in front of him, The bone fragments are about to be sold out.

The nameless pride immediately melted away, and he walked out with slumped shoulders.

The popularity of the returning bone pieces was no surprise to Wuming, but the cultivation of blood roses was not ideal.

The mixed-breed hunting team slaughtered the pigs and sheep they hunted, and poured their blood into a countryside.

But there is only one flower bone at present.

Without flowers, there would be no way to pay Fan Lei, and there would be no new bone fragments to return.

To put it simply, the capital chain is broken.

Wuming knew that even if he sold the bone pieces later and returned them, it would be better than selling half of them and running out of stock.

This is not something expensive, nor does it allow customers to form a habit of using it. Once a product is out of stock, many customers will choose to give up instead of waiting.

Currently, only the bone fragments returned to the Church of Airei are unique, and the nameless forging and cooking skills are just the icing on the cake.

We need to pick some wild blood roses first... Wuming thought, Damn it, it would be great if there were more things that could attract the faded ones, we are not competitive enough.

Wuming left the flower field and walked aimlessly.

I was talking about opening a class to teach magic. I wonder if I can attract some people to come here... Wuming said to himself, But I still have to work on blacksmithing, and I don't have enough time to teach...

Wuming suddenly felt a little regretful.

If you move to Lienia, there won’t be so many things.

There is no need to worry about Fan Lei's debt, and since it is close to Rhea Lucalia Magic Academy, some magic teachers can definitely be hired.

This is of course just a conjecture, and it ignores the benefits of returning bone fragments brought by Fan Lei. It is like a castle in the air and is unrealistic.

Wuming quickly put away his complaints and concentrated on finding his goal.

He is looking for wild blood roses.

But Wuming didn't know where there were flowers or where there was blood, so he could only ask passers-by along the way.

Perhaps because Wuming behaved like a businessman, the people on the road didn't have a good impression of him. Most of them were indifferent and arrogant, and no one gave him reliable information.

Wuming was not annoyed, he just asked them one by one.

He really found a clue.

You want to find a place with many flowers? A knight holding a big sword said playfully, I know a place.

Really? Where is it? Wuming asked.

Not far ahead, walk along the road. The knight pointed to the road at his feet. There is an abandoned inn with many wild flowers inside.

Wuming thanked the knight, but the knight did not respond and just snickered and left.

When Wuming walked to the abandoned inn, he realized why the knight was smiling like that.

There are indeed flowers here, many and very big.

It's better to say it's a bit too big.

Wuming looked up at the two-meter-tall giant flower twisting its body and spitting out poisonous mist, and felt once again the vitality of the world.

Several corpses lay next to the giant flower. The roots of the flower dug out of the soil like earthworms, binding the corpses and squeezing nutrients from them.

Wuming took a few steps back and looked at the way he came. No one was following him.

The sword knight sent him to this dangerous place, obviously not for the purpose of seeking wealth or death, but simply out of undisguised malice.

But at least I found it. Wuming looked at the root of the giant flower.

Around the corpse, several bright red roses were in full bloom.

This place is suitable for flowers to grow, and there is blood from corpses. It is really a suitable place for blood roses to grow.

Before Wuming could figure out how to pick the flowers, the flowers took the lead in challenging him.

The stamens of the giant flower trembled, and a huge amount of pollen was released, like a thick fog blowing on the face.

Wuming covered his face to prevent pollen from entering, and a burst of impact erupted from his feet, knocking him away.

Wuming looked down and found that many small holes had been broken into the ground.

The roots of the big flower have long spread all over the ground, like exploding pods, ejecting certain substances from the roots, forming a ground thorn trap.

The explosion of impact was still at a certain angle, causing Wuming to fly towards the big flower.

The stem of the big flower seemed to be overwhelmed by the weight, the flower stalk suddenly bent, and the huge flower holder and corolla fell towards Wuming.

Juhua completed an excellent smash, flying out like an unknown cannonball and smashing a broken wall.

Wuming stood up and spit out the dirt in his mouth:

If I weren't afraid of accidentally hurting Blood Rose, I would really want to burn you.

Wuming was a little sad and angry. If he didn't have to pay back the money, he wouldn't have to suffer this injustice.

The lesson is not to take out a loan. Wuming confessed.

The flower didn't understand what Wuming was saying, so it released the substance on its roots again, turning Wuming's feet into a trap.

Feeling the turbulence of the soil under his feet, Wuming had no choice but to retreat.

He stepped back and stepped onto the basement stairs.

Only then did Wuming discover that the inn had a basement, surrounded by a high wall.

He smashed down the wall, just enough to reveal it.

Wuming made a quick decision and headed straight to the basement to avoid the limelight.

Wuming, who was hiding from the limelight, suffered a blow.

There was another person in the basement, wearing a pumpkin-like helmet, roaring violently and delirious.

Pumpkin Head raised a sledgehammer and hit Wuming.

Wuming did not dodge, he came closer with the sledgehammer and reached out to grab the huge pumpkin head.

He slapped the ground behind him hard, and the pumpkin head was planted upside down into the ground.

Nameless clapped his hands:

There are no blood roses under your feet.

At the end of the basement, there is a closed door.

Wuming looked back and saw that the big violent flower had not stopped yet and was still spitting poisonous mist.

Seeing that Dahua couldn't calm down for a while, Wuming walked deep into the basement.

Let's go on an adventure after a long time. Wuming flexed his hands and feet, I don't know what long and arduous adventures and treasures are waiting for me ahead...
