Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The Blood Fingers who are addicted to the cursed blood will gradually become numb and unable to receive external stimulation.

Only wounds can bring them intoxicating pain, whether they are other people's or their own.

When the cursed blood stains your fingertips, pleasure will emerge.

That's how it should be.

Knight Grek, who was holding a blood-stained sword, was in disbelief. He couldn't understand what was happening. He just felt dizzy, his head was dizzy, and he fell into darkness.

What happened... He muttered into his helmet.

At Wuming's feet, Knight Commander Greg's head fell into the ground, his body twitching slightly.

Where is that, the Knight Commander? Wuming clenched his fists, geared up, and gritted his teeth, preparing to teach the culprit who caused his carriage such misfortune.

Behind him, the golden chariot was being dragged over by the demihumans.

The chariot's sword wheel is also made of gold, so even though it is crooked, it can still be used with a twist.

It's just that the twisted wheels are uneven, making it bumpy when walking, and the car body is vibrating, and it feels like it's about to fall apart at any moment.

Hyde also dismounted and looked at the knight who rushed up and was slapped into the ground by Wuming, a little afraid to speak.

He pointed at the fallen Knight Grek:

The one you just knocked down...is the Knight Commander.

Wuming looked back at the fallen knight, stretched out his hand to hold the knight's leg armor, and pulled him out.

With a few coughs, some dirt was sprayed out from the gaps in the armor.

Wuming pulled off the knight's helmet.

The knight was very old, like Greg, with gray hair and a trident pattern carved on his forehead.

Wuming didn't have the slightest idea of ​​respecting the elderly and caring for the young, so he grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently, shaking him awake.

You are... Knight Gray, who regained consciousness, identified the figure that was gradually becoming clearer in front of him.

When he realized that the person in front of him was Wuming, he immediately subconsciously grabbed the big sword that fell on the ground and slashed at Wuming.

But the sword was held by an iron hand and could not move forward.

Wuming approached the knight's face with a kind smile:

Are you the Knight Commander of Hyde Fortress?

I am still the city lord of the fortress. The knight said.

Wuming pinched the knight's face:

Very well, Lord City Lord, your rebellion cost me two good horses and destroyed my chariot. My heart is burning with anger. My friend, is there any way you can calm down this emotion?

You want me to pay for your horse? the knight said.

I'll pay ten for every bad one. I don't want much. I won't embarrass you, but give me twenty horses. Wuming said.

The knight smiled and spit out a mouthful of blood, which splashed on Wuming's protective face:

It's a pity that I killed all the horses. I need blood and sacrifices.

While Wuming was talking to the knight, the demi-humans all groped into the city, looking for their mother.

Soon, the sound of crying came one after another in the city.

Hyde also followed, and when he came back he looked ugly:

He has already killed the demi-human mother.

Knight Greg smiled and said:

Demi-humans are demi-humans. They are so stupid. Hyde actually wants to establish diplomatic relations with them. Maybe he is not much smarter than the sub-humans. But their blood is very useful and can be used as nutrients to grow flowers.

Wuming wiped the blood on his protective face, looked at the blood on his gauntlets, and said in a cold voice:

So you don't want to apologize?

Kill me, I am willing to sacrifice my blood. The knight said, I can experience the feeling of becoming stronger, and I will have no regrets in my career!

Your blood is useless. Wuming said, I injured the horse and the wheel.

He carried the knight to the golden chariot:

Give you two choices, horse or wheel?

Your intelligence is not much better than that of others. Knight Grek said, I told you, I can't compensate.

Horse or wheel? Wuming just stared at the knight and repeated, If you don't choose, I will help you choose.

Okay, you help me choose. I really want to see how you make me compensate. Knight Greg said.

Wuming made a circle around the golden carriage and thought for a moment:

Then wheels.

The golden chariot in the Heroes Cemetery is very huge, with three wheels on one side and six wheels in total, which are gradually reduced in size. There are also spikes on the center axis of the wheel as weapons.

The fall caused a crater to the outermost small wheel on one side, and the large innermost wheel was also dented.

Wuming grabbed Knight Commander Grek's neck, aimed at the spikes on the wheel and inserted it.

The instantaneous penetrating injury caused the knight no time to suffer, and he only felt a chill seeping from the inside out.

Hiss... Knight Greg endured the pain, Torture? Is this the only level?

Who tortured me? Wuming slapped Knight Grek on the head and put his helmet on, I'm just asking you to compensate. If you don't have money, just pay with your body, and you will be the wheel.

Am I going to be the wheel? Knight Greg was stunned.

Wuming put his hands on the sharp spikes of the knife wheel and broke it with force, causing the spikes to tilt to one side.

Viewed from the side of the carriage, Knight Greg's body just fills the hollows of the wheels.

Because they are on the same axis, they can provide support when the wheels hit potholes.

Wuming patted the horse's butt and pulled the chariot a few steps.

The wheels turned to the depression, and the weight of the golden chariot pressed down on the knight, allowing his body and armor to fill the depression.

The huge weight squeezed the knight out of shape in an instant, and blood and flesh seeped out from the gaps in the armor.

Wow--!

Knight Grek couldn't hold back anymore. His body that was not completely numb felt huge pain, and his internal organs and blood spurted out of his mouth along with screams.

Wuming ignored the screams and stopped the carriage, but not to put down Knight Grek.

He found that although the spikes on the axle were thick, the cylindrical structure could not hold the knight in place well.

After just one turn, Knight Greg's body tilted to another place.

Wuming twisted Knight Grek's limbs between the spokes of the wheel. Because Knight Grek wore heavy armor and had a lot of steel, it was easy to shape. He slightly heated it to soften the steel, and after a few fiddles, Knight Grek was fixed to the wheel. superior.

Wuming also melted the great sword and shield of the knight Grek, and used them as new spokes to firmly fix the knight of Grek.

Wuming took a test drive and it was perfect.

The back and back armor of Knight Grek perfectly acted as padding, restoring stability to the chariot.

And to Wuming's surprise, the tank seemed to be more stable.

Due to the soft material of the Gray Rider, it provides great cushioning.

Not bad, this way we can hold on until we go back. Wuming sat on the chariot, very satisfied.

He thought: If the wheels are made of soft materials, it seems to be more stable... I will go back and study it to improve my chariot.

The knight on the wheel, Grayk, had already lost much breath and could only let out a low groan.

The moan interrupted Wuming's contemplation. He jumped out of the car and slapped Knight Grek on the head again:

You are really worthless, does it hurt?

Knight Commander Greg couldn't even turn his eyes, he was a little stupid.

Wuming squatted in front of the knight:

It's much better for you. In the past, if people couldn't die in our place, they had to be bled and beaten into a pulp, and then stuffed into a cage with the pulp. They couldn't die just like that, mixed with other people's flesh, singing and dancing. .”

Wuming patted Knight Gray's head comfortingly:

Hey, aren't you just stuck on the wheel? Looking at the bright side, you have really become stronger. In this form, you have great potential when you become a Deathborn.

=========

The demihumans poured out of the city gate with red eyes, ready to seek revenge.

But when they saw the appearance of Knight Grek, they looked at each other and didn't know how to retaliate.

Wuming stood up to be the peacemaker:

Okay, okay, when will retribution be repaid? If you have to spare someone's life, please spare him. Don't make things difficult for him anymore - and he is currently repaying his debt, so he can't leave it to you.

Wuming put his hands together and said with a smile:

Anyone object?

Everyone and demihumans present shook their heads.

With the intelligence of the Asians, they could not imagine any more innovative or cruel punishment.

Hyde watched the whole process of the Gray Knight being made into a wheel. In his mind, Wuming had been upgraded from a tomb robber to a vicious villain.

Hyde swallowed:

The way you punished him... is really unique.

How is this a punishment? It's just asking him to pay off his debt. Wu said with certainty.

He looked at Hyde with a smile:

It's time for you to pay off your debt.

Hyde's heart skipped a beat and he said:

Well...that knight captain killed almost all the living creatures in my city, and burned many supplies. The city is in chaos. I'm afraid I won't be able to thank you for the time being.

Wuming looked at the messy Hyde Fortress without saying a word.

Following the example of Knight Grek, the more Wuming remained silent, the more frightened Hyde became, and he couldn't help but say:

When I clean up the mess here, I will pay you back.

Isn't there anything valuable in the city? Wuming asked.

Hyde shook his head regretfully:

All the gold, silver and jewels in the city have been sold by the knights to recruit soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses he recruited have been killed by him.

Wuming sighed in disappointment.

Hyde said: To be honest, when we established diplomatic relations with the demi-humans, the demi-human queen gave me a scepter with some gems on it, but I can't give it to you.

Oh? Wuming said.

I wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the demi-humans, but I caused them heavy losses. This scepter needs to be handed over to the demi-humans. Whether I bury it with my mother or take it away myself, this is the only thing I can do. Hyde said, As for your thank you gift, after I finish cleaning up the mess, with my status, it's no problem to get a few horses.

Hyde spread his hands: This is my territory anyway, I can't run away. If I break the contract, you will come and take my city.

Hearing what Hyde said, Wuming did not object. He tapped his helmet with his fingers:

How about leaving the demi-human to me?

Leave it to you? Hyde said, You misunderstood. The demi-humans are not my slaves. I can't hand them over to you.

I know, I can help you deal with them. Wuming said, I'm afraid it's hard for you to face them, right?

Hyde stroked his beard:

It won't be the kind of treatment the knight captain would do, right?

Wuming shook his head: How could it be? I'm a businessman and I'm looking for employees. Anyway, their leader is gone, so I just happen to take them in.

Kenneth Hyde glanced at Burke beside Wuming, as well as his neat clothes and clean body.

Then go talk to them, he said.

I still have a few questions. Wuming said.

Speaking.

You said that Stonewell sent a knight commander in the past two months to take over your troops. Do you know the reason? Wuming asked.

I've heard about it, Hyde said. I heard that they want to concentrate their forces to attack some force. Not only my fortress, many fortresses and small countries in Ningmu Gefu have been dispatched with such knight commanders.

It's a big deal to gather the power of one area. Wuming was surprised.

I'm not worried about that. Hyde said, With Greg's situation, he can't make any waves. Whether he wants to go north to attack Lienia or go east to attack Galid, he will only hit his head. Blood flow.”

How powerful is Liyenia? Wuming recalled his trip to Liyenia, I don't think there's anything special about it.

The Royal Family of Kallia is the only force that can even compete with the Golden Tree, and Galid is sitting in the elite regular army that was once affiliated with the Golden Tree. Hyde said, Grek didn't dare to provoke Latarn when his troops were at their peak. Don’t talk about today.”

Then why does Greg still need to summon troops? Wuming was puzzled, He doesn't know what he's worth?

Hyde stroked his beard and muttered:

Indeed, although Greg is cowardly, he will not be so stupid. And my talisman was not taken away by the knight captain.

Talk Festival? Wuming asked.

The half-key of the Dickdas Great Elevator, the pass to the Yatan Plateau. Hyde said, Grek wanted to return to the foot of the Golden Tree, but he never had the courage and strength. If he summoned the troops of a region just to return to the Golden Tree, I will definitely collect all the talismans first.

Then it's to deal with some forces in Nimgefu... Wuming murmured.

I seemed to vaguely hear them talking about dealing with the Round Table. Hyde recalled unconvincingly, But the Round Table is also under the power of the Golden Tree. It stands to reason that there will be no conflict with Greg, and the Round Table does not exist in this world.

Wuming was a little stiff: Did you say it was a round table or a new round table?

Where's the new round table? Hyde wondered.

We are. Wuming said.

The two were silent for a moment, and Hyde took a step back:

Grek used a territory's troops to deal with you? What did you do?

I didn't do anything. Wuming also wondered, That is, I lied to him, killed his tree guard, and took away his limb sacrifice...

This is called not doing anything... The corner of Hyde's mouth twitched.

Wuming looked at Hyde with a smile and put an iron hand on his shoulder:

Lord Hyde City, I see that you also dislike Greg very much. Why don't we cooperate?

Hyde said cautiously: Cooperation? How to cooperate?

You have such a big city, why can't we cooperate? Wuming said, Whether it is to help us expand sales, serve as a resource reserve, or fulfill the original function of the fortress, it is fine. We are a big businessman with a bright future. Team, this will also help you quickly restore the prosperity of the city.
