Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Wuming waved goodbye to Latarn coolly.

Half a minute later, he ran back again.

Ratan fainted.

Wuming had a look of helplessness on his face as he grabbed Latarn by the horns on his helmet and dragged him out of the Wailing Sand Dunes.

What's wrong, General? Jie Lian stepped forward and asked.

Oh, the physical exertion was too great, plus I was poisoned by scarlet corruption, and I fainted. Wuming said, It's not a big deal. The poisoning this time is shallow. I just need to cultivate myself.

Wasn't it eradicated? Why is it corrupt again? Jie Lian was shocked.

The ring finger points to the sky.

Jie Lian raised his head and saw red clouds in the sky above Galid, covering the sky and the sun.

Oh... Jie Lian understood.

The sky was filled with poisonous clouds. Although General Latarn's magic trick falling from the sky was sharp, it was also rolled hard in the poisonous clouds.

Just in time, give it to the general to tidy up. Jie Lian said and asked Red Lion and Latarn to repair.

There were still several spears stuck in his body that had not been removed. There were fragments of iron filings left in the wounds left by the swords, and part of his flesh was scorched black. Those were the wounds left by the nameless ones.

After cleaning up, Latarn was carried to the bed.

The red lions made soup from the remaining normal meat and fed it to Ratan, saying that they were unwilling to feed Ratan's scorched corpses and the insect meat of his corrupted relatives.

When Latan opened his eyes again, what he saw was Nameless.

Wuming saw Latarn wake up and said hello to him:

Jie Lian is busy with matters in the city. Your awakening is a big deal and involves the situation in the entire border area. He has been busy with Red Lion these past few days, while I am free and responsible for treating you.

Latarn's mind was still stuck on the battle with Wuming. His huge body lay on the equally huge bed and turned to look at Wuming:

You are such a powerful warrior, why are you unwilling to take action?

I'm a businessman. Wuming said.

I think you are a warrior.

I mean, I'm used to being thrifty. Wuming said, Unlike you who squander power so wantonly, I regard power as savings, just like firewood in a fireplace. I use one part less and save one part. Of course I have to save.

Can't you add more firewood?

Okay, so I'm a businessman. Wuming smiled, I'm used to picking things.

That's really a pity. Latarn said, There are very few strong people like you in the border area who can bridge the gap and ride the horse.

Isn't she Valkyrie? Wuming said.

Marlenia? She can't do it. Latarn said. If her limbs are intact, she may be able to exert more power with the Water Sword. But she only has one hand and half a leg left. She can still rely on the prosthetic knife. There’s no way you can compete with me.”

How domineering. Wuming handed Latarn a piece of fruit, It would be better if you didn't say this after being corrupted again.

Latan's face turned red and he didn't respond.

Wuming also took a glass of juice, stuffed the whole straw into the slit of the mask and slurped:

Why are you so excited when you see a black flame?

Black Flame once had the power to kill gods. Latan said, It was the power of destined death.

Ever? Wuming asked.

Death has been sealed by Queen Marika, and gods will never die again. Black Flame has lost the power to kill gods. Latan said, But even if it loses its power, it is still enough to make me feel trembling excitement.

Wuming suddenly realized: It turns out that even demigods can't die, so that's good.

Latarn clenched his fists:

Only when you know what fear is can you understand true bravery. Demigods will not die, and they have not had a real bloody struggle for too long. I am afraid that I will never be able to match the combat experience of King Gefulei.

Oh... Wuming said thoughtfully, Not only the Valkyrie Marlenia, there are also many strong people in the border area.

Why don't I know? Latarn said. The strong men I know have either gone into hiding or are dead.

The dead can be resurrected, and the retired can come back. Wuming said, I heard that Ge Fulei is back.

What! Latane jumped up from the bed. The huge body is like a big rubber ball.

The Lion King is back? Latane was as excited as a child.

I heard that he just showed off his power in Stonewell City some time ago. Wuming said, There is also Lao Lu, who is also very powerful.

Latarn rubbed his hands excitedly:

It seems like waking up is not just bad news.

So was the first King of Elden really that powerful? Wuming asked.

Of course, that's my idol. Latarn said, My armors are all made after lions.

He seemed to want to show off his armor, but when he touched it, he realized that the armor had been stripped off. He only had a white vest on.

Latarn sat up, twisting his fat body back and forth, eager to try, and his excitement was palpable.

Latarn's body hurt when he twisted like this, so he had to stop holding the wound.

Jie Lian happened to push the door open and came in. He saw La Tarn covering his wound and quickly walked closer to check.

Blood oozed from the vest, revealing the shape of a circular wound.

It was caused by the spears of the Rotten Knights piercing their bodies. Latarn once used this spear as a big arrow on the battlefield, and shot all the warriors flying.

You should rest more. Jie Lian said, This is a stabbing, a penetrating injury.

Don't worry, I won't be stabbed again in the future. Latarn didn't take it seriously, but said excitedly, Jielian, you know, King Gefulei is back.

Is there such a thing? Jie Lian was also a little surprised, I really don't know. I have been fighting corruption and have no time to pay attention to things outside of Galid.

Jie Lian hesitated:

You're not going to follow Godfrey, are you?

What's wrong? Latane said.

Jie Lian shook his head:

It's nothing. I have been busy with things in the city these days. I hope to finish the trivial matters and mess and return a clean Red Lion City to you.

So you're busy with this... taking all the trouble. Latarn felt a little embarrassed.

It doesn't matter. Many red lions also miss their hometown very much and hope to leave Galid. Jielian said, If the general really stops fighting against corruption, we will abandon the city and follow you. If you want to unlock the stars With the seal, I can just complete my mission.

Wait a minute. Wuming interrupted the two of them, Are you leaving Galid?

Latarn said: Yes, don't worry, the seal of the stars can be broken wherever it is. If we leave, the Corrupt Familia will not be as you wish, and no one will care about it.

Wuming held up his face, somewhat reluctantly.

If possible, he still hopes that Latarn will stay in Galid and can check and balance the bugs.

In Wuming's vision, he hoped that humans and insects would separate Galid and check and balance each other.

Wuming said: I think Red Lion City is still very important. There are ports along the coast and there are sand dunes. It is a good landing port for meteorites.

Broken Star was in a dilemma: I want to chase stars.

Wuming said: After Godfrey showed his power from Stonewell City, he should have gone north. You have to pass through the Lake District. There are indeed many stars in the Lake District.

Ratan was silent.

After passing the Lake District, you have to pass through Kallia.

If he chases after her, he will pass by the territory of his mother, the Queen of the Full Moon, Lenora.

Latarn rested his chin, contemplating.

Wuming added: Radagon should still be the King of Elden. Although he is missing, he is not heard to be dead. If you follow Godfrey, will you fight with Radagon?

Wuming asked: If they fight, who will you help?

Latarn's face became even more bitter.

This fatal question was no less than asking him who he would marry after Radha just divorced Full Moon Queen Lenara.

Latarn had just left with Lada, which was one of the reasons why he did not dare to face his mother again.

Latarn sighed:

Forget it, I'd better stay in Red Lion City for a while. Unlocking the seal is a big project anyway and it will take a long time.

Wuming secretly clenched his fists, proud of his eloquence.

Jie Lian also said: Then you can take over with peace of mind. I have already taken care of the trivial matters for you.

That's right. Wuming helped, You stay here so that Jie Lian can leave safely to complete that mission - by the way, what is your mission?

Jie Lian said: I am a guest of Kallia, and my mission is naturally to help Kallia and the academy.

You want to go back to Kaliya Walled City? Wuming asked.

Jie Lian shook his head: After all, I am just a guest general, and I cannot serve the Kallia royal family all my life. I only need to get rid of the enemy that threatens Kallia and the academy. After completing the agreement, I can regain my freedom and wander again.

Latan smiled and explained: It's just wandering around the border, looking for various battle festivals to participate in. Many knights like to do this.

A dynasty in Kallia has an enemy that can threaten Kallia? What kind of enemy is so powerful? Wuming asked.

A witch named Se Lian. Jie Lian said, Indulging in the origin theory and ruthlessly attacking countless magicians is a very difficult and dangerous disaster.

When Wuming heard the words, he tilted his head back slightly:

Se Lian? This name... sounds a bit familiar.

The famous 'Magic Cube Witch' has a reputation that spreads far and wide. Jie Lian said, It's normal for you to have heard of her.

Wuming turned to look at Latarn with a sincere attitude and sincere words:

I think it's a rare opportunity for people to be young again. It's good to bravely chase stars. Let Jie Lian be the city lord.

Latarn was surprised:

Are you sure?

Wuming said: I don't think you can manage the Red Lion City well like this. Let Jie Lian take over. Jie Lian is doing a good job, so why replace him? Look at how prosperous and vibrant the Red Lion City is. ah.

Didn't you say before that Red Lion City was on the verge of destruction? Jie Lian said abruptly.

Could it be the same as it is now? Wuming said, Now Broken Star General Latarn has woken up. Look at you red lions. There is light in your eyes. What is this? This is the light of hope. With this kind of With your energy and spirit, you have great potential and a promising future.”

Unknown shows off his great skills:

So what if the Red Lion City is not your hometown? Then make it your hometown! I often tell my apprentices, don't complain about corruption and curses, but turn curses into strength and create beauty!

Wuming patted Jie Lian on the shoulder again:

You are not young anymore. Duckweeds will eventually fall back to their roots. Being the lord of the Red Lion City is no more comfortable than wandering around.

I am a warrior, and I should continue to pursue battles. Jie Lian said, How can I be addicted to power and become the lord of a city?

That's right. Wuming clapped his hands, Isn't there a big arena here in Galid? With the name of the Broken Star Latarn Battle Festival, the name of the arena will be made famous. Then the world's heroes will You will come here by yourself. Don’t you want to fight as much as you want?”

Wuming hugged Jie Lian, waved his hand in front of his eyes, and described a bright future:

As a businessman, I tell you, there is no future in peddling around. Sitting in a fixed place and waiting for the four parties to gather is the right way...

After talking a lot of small words, Wuming really frightened Jie Lian.

Jie Lian was an old soldier who was blind in one eye, and he didn't make so many twists and turns. After hearing this, he thought it made sense and looked at Latarn.

Latarn still hesitated:

But I have to pass through the Lake District...

I'll take care of the little things for you. Wuming clapped his breastplate, We are partners. This is a small favor, no need to be polite.

Jie Lian looked suspicious:

You're a profiteer who wants to make money every time you hold a battle festival, but you don't need to pay for your help?

I have my own way, and you will know when the time comes. Wuming looked at La Tarn and was confident, Go and get two iron chains and two spears.

Jie Lian prepared the letter and doubts for Wu Ming, who was also packing his luggage and looking for goods in Galid, preparing to bring him back to Nimgefu.

Wuming took the opportunity this time to grab a handful of lion pelts from the Red Lion City and took away two more portals.

All the corpses in the Wailing Dunes also belonged to Wu Ming. He sold the corpses to Alexander and took away all the weapons and equipment.

The equipment of the Rotten Knight is a good thing. Patch and he tried to trick Greg into using it, but failed.

In addition to portals and equipped weapons, Wuming also brought a large amount of putrefactive fungi, which were disinfected and dried as employee benefits.

Wuming deliberately found a broken coffin cart in the wilds of Galid to transport his full cargo.

The giant dog and bird that gnawed at the corpse next to the coffin also became one of the nameless cargoes.

But the people pulling the cart are dead, and you can't pull it away. Latarn looked at the coffin cart that was bigger than him.

Why not? Wuming greeted Jie Lian with a smile, Jie Lian, you promised, the blacksmith will give me a job in the future.

There is a hole in the abdominal cavity of the mountain monster. The mountain monster that usually pulls a cart will have an iron cone pierced through the mountain monster's abdominal cavity to serve as a transporter to pull the coffin.

The Troll Blacksmith was a little unhappy:

Does this count as my demotion?

I'm just asking you to help temporarily. You will still be a blacksmith after I return. Wuming said.

The mountain demon reluctantly attached the iron cone to his body: You will make me feel discriminated against.

Don't worry, you won't feel this way soon. This car can't be pulled by a mountain demon. You won't feel embarrassed if you have company. Wuming is well versed in people's hearts.

Latan said: Yes, this car needs two trolls to pull it. Where is the second one?

Latarn looked at Wuming, and Wuming looked at Latarn. The two looked at each other for a long time.

Wuming showed a mysterious smile.

A moment later, Latarn stood next to the mountain demon blacksmith. Wuming pulled a big iron nail and drove it in from behind Latarn like a battering ram.

hiss……

Even as a warrior, Latan was still sweating in pain after being stabbed by such a thick steel nail.

Can't you use light magic as a disguise? Latan said.

My light magic doesn't consume any power? You're still so big. Wuming said, It would be nice to add some disguise to your face later.

Wuming turned his face and said to Jie Lian:

See, now you understand why I don't want to be paid, right?

Jie Lian looked at the giant nails on Latarn's back and felt a throbbing pain: Is this really not a big deal?

He is a demigod and cannot die. Wuming asked Jie Lian to relax.

He looked at the mountain demon: Do you still feel discriminated against?

Thank you, it's balanced. The mountain demon blacksmith gave Wuming a thumbs up.

Wuming laughed, sat on top of the coffin, and with a wave of his hand, the master returned to the court.

The hearse walked on the road, briskly and firmly.

Latarn's gravity magic acted on the hearse, making the two big men feel much more relaxed.

Latarn just complained and quickly focused on more important issues:

Is this really undetectable?

Don't worry, no one will look at a mountain monster pulling a cart, and no one will think that this mountain monster is General Latarn of the Broken Star. Wuming said.

Latan said: But in Kallia, the mountain demon is also very respected.

Wuming thought for a moment: Oh, you are so unlucky.

Have you never thought of any countermeasures?

I didn't go to the Lake District to conduct business. Who knows the local customs and customs. Wuming said matter-of-factly, Don't worry, if we really go to the Lake District, I'll spend more energy to disguise you.

That's good……

When the time comes, you will have to pay when you pull the cart for me to compensate me for the extra effort. Wuming said.

...

The three of them arrived in Nimgefu as they wished.

Is this really Nimgefu? Latarn frowned.

As soon as they left the scarlet land of Galid, the three of them came to another scarlet land.

Bodies were almost everywhere, and the flames of war extended from the edge of Nimgofu to the far end of the sight.

Is it so serious? Wuming muttered.

During the time Wuming stayed in Galid, although he always heard that the situation was chaotic, it was only when he saw it with his own eyes that he truly experienced the extent of the chaos.

Wuming walked towards the foggy forest along the way, wanting to see how Hyde's neutral fortress was doing.

All the way to the center of the foggy forest, the smell of blood never stopped.

Wuming had some bad feelings in his heart.

He asked Latarn to strengthen the gravity magic, pulled the hearse and quickly walked to Hyde Fortress.

At the gate of the fortress, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.
