Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The arrow penetrated halfway, and the tip of the arrow emerged from the stone pillar. The light of magic power continued to spread from the center of the arrow body, causing the tail feathers to tremble.

Such powerful bows and arrows made the atmosphere in Airei Church tense. The Kaidan mercenaries raised their sabers and prepared for the attack.

Wuming looked towards the direction of the arrow. The two of them were standing not far away, facing the wind.

One is a tall figure, with a heavy giant sword wrapped in rags behind his back, majestic; the other is petite, holding a long bow, hidden in the dark shadows, mysterious and dangerous.

Both of their eyes were deep and dark, with no golden light.

These two people are obviously faders, but unlike those faders who have no blessings in the Ailei Church, the aura of these two people is obviously stronger.

When the Ai Lei Church fell into silence and prepared to face the coming storm, Wuming waved to the two of them:

Why are you here?

You are so famous that everyone in the Weeping Peninsula has heard about it. The two of them spoke in a friendly tone.

The strong man removed the heavy sword from his back and let out a sigh of relief.

The petite woman also put down her bow and walked out of the darkness.

It turned out that she was not hiding in the darkness, but she was a bit dark, with a ponytail and pointed ears exposed.

Who?

The Kaidan mercenary expressed doubts for all employees.

A friend I met before. Wuming introduced to the staff of Ailei Church, This is...

Wuming was silent for two seconds, then turned to look at the two of them:

What are your names?

You can't remember your name, right? The dark-skinned woman rolled her eyes.

You should be considerate of me. I'm getting older and my memory is bad. Wuming pretended to cough twice and slapped his back.

The woman pushed the nameless person aside and introduced herself:

Noak, that big guy is Magri.

Wuming was pushed away and stood together with Magli.

He glanced at Magri:

Why did you wrap the sword bones? Are you pretending to be cool?

Magri shook his head:

We have made a lot of runes along the way.

so?

He patted the sword that was wrapped in rags:

It was all because someone discovered that I had the sword bones, they came to snatch it, and we got it by killing them.

Wuming suddenly realized and smiled: This is the price of sitting on the Iron Throne.

The tense atmosphere suddenly melted away, and the two of them were talking and laughing with Wuming, leaving the employees of Airei Church looking at each other.

The only one who frowned was Haida.

She knew about these two people, and she also knew that they were blocked on the Weeping Peninsula by the officers and soldiers of the Sacrificial Bridge.

How did you get out of the Weeping Peninsula? Haida walked over and asked with the support of the Immortal.

We found a waterway, Noak said.

Magri looked at Wuming: There really are other passages there. It was the port where King Godfrey once led the Faded Ones to leave the border area and cross the Sea of ​​Mist.

Did you leave by water? Haida asked.

No, we walked from the Sacrifice Bridge. Magri spread his hands. We found blood stains in the waterway, so we traced upstream and returned to the Sacrifice Bridge. At that time, we had been traveling on the Weeping Peninsula for a long time, thinking about You can discuss with those officers and let us leave. Then when we arrive at the Sacrifice Bridge, we find that they are all dead.

It was torn to pieces, Knock added. It was all over the bridge.

Wuming turned his head and looked at Haida, and found that Haida was also shocked and seemed to be unaware of this matter.

Where did Nimgefu come from with so many fierce guys? Wuming muttered.

After talking about their experiences, Nok and Magri walked into the Ai Lei Church and visited the bustling old Patch shop.

Magri said: Your business is really good. It's rare to see such a lively place.

With the sudden visit from Magri and the other two, Wuming put aside his plan to go to Hyde Fortress for the time being.

Tops did not forget this matter and reminded Wuming: Aren't you going to find the protective barrier?

You reminded me. Wuming slapped his head, Like I said, my memory is bad as I get older.

What's wrong? Magri still didn't know the crisis Wuming and the others were facing.

Wuming looked at Nok:

Do you have a protective barrier? That kind of powerful protective shield.

Magri was surprised: Huh?

Nok also frowned.

Wuming then told Topps' description of the protective barrier.

Ma Geli was confused: Isn't it said that only princes and nobles have it? Why are you asking her?

Nok took out a talisman and threw it to Wuming:

Is that so?

Wuming lost it to Topps again:

Is that so?

Tops studied the inscription on the amulet and nodded excitedly:

Yes, yes, that's it.

Wuming gestured to Nok and smiled:

Thanks, I'll give you a discount.

Magri was even more surprised now. He turned to look at Nok:

Do you still have something like this? Why didn't I know about it? Where did you get it? Did you secretly go to the cemetery to look for treasures without telling me?

Wuming said: I'm afraid that's what she has. She is a noble.

Magri looked at Nok, even more shocked, and asked Wuming again:

How did you know?

It feels like. Wuming glanced at Nok, She has an elegant temperament.

Hearing what Wuming said, Nok nodded slightly.

Wuming continued: Trust my judgment. I am very familiar with their temperament. I have killed many of them.

Nok retracted his head and looked at Wuming cautiously.

Magri didn't notice Nok's expression. He was very excited when he heard that his companion was a noble:

I didn't even know you were a noble. Why didn't you tell me before? Why didn't you use such a powerful protective barrier?

Can't use it. Nok said, pointing to the amulet, It consumes one thousand runes every day as a permanent activation consumption. When attacked, the corresponding runes will be consumed according to the opponent's attack power. This amulet is not Only for the princes and nobles, but only the princes and nobles can possibly afford this kind of consumption.”

Wuming suddenly realized: No wonder Hyde doesn't have one, he is so poor.

Nok nodded:

I don't need it, so I'll give it to you.

The others gathered around Tops, studying the amulet, and Magri marveled at the expense of the amulet.

Nok saw that the topic had shifted to the study of protective barriers, and Magri no longer asked questions about his identity, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside Nok, Wuming quietly approached and said with a smile:

You seem to really don't want to reveal your identity.

Nok was startled, and reflexively took out an arrow and put it on Wuming's neck.

Seeing the iron armor around Wuming's neck, she slowly retracted her arrow and sighed:

He is just a man who has lost his country. Wouldn't it be too cruel to let a man who has lost his country recall his homeland?

I'm sorry. Wuming apologized with a smile, Are you okay? Can you do me a favor?

You are in trouble? Nok asked, You even need to use something like a protective barrier.

Have you ever heard of Bell Bead Hunter? Wuming asked.

Nok nodded: I've heard it, but I haven't experienced it yet - is he targeting you?

Sooner or later. Wuming said, You are very powerful faders. I would like to ask you to protect the teachers and merchants in the store.

Nok hesitated a little. She looked at Magri in the crowd and asked Wuming:

How strong is Suzu Hunter?

Wuming pursed his lips towards the half-broken gate of the Heroes Cemetery not far away:

I had a fight with him, so he should be worthy enough to be buried there.

Heroic level. Nok looked serious, This is too dangerous, I can't agree to it.

Wuming stared into Nok's eyes:

I don't see fear in your eyes, only worry. Don't you think you are in danger... are you worried about Magri?

Nok was silent, just staring at Magri.

How is his sword skeleton used? Wuming suddenly asked, Is it easy to use?

He can already wield the sword skeleton. Nok said, Although he cannot directly use the power of blessing, he can still become stronger as long as he exercises regularly. He is growing very fast.

He is worthy of the Sword Bones. Wuming nodded, He is also worthy of the title of Master of the Sword Bones.

Don't come here. Nok said, You think I can't understand what you mean? I'm sorry, we are weaklings, don't think about it.

Don't belittle yourself. He can be a hero. It's not right for you to be the one who will subjugate the country. Wuming began to lobby.

He is not a hero, not yet. Knock said, I am just an ordinary person who has subjugated his country. We are not the heroes who have subjugated our country.

Really? Wuming tried.

No. Nok resolutely tried to cut off Wuming's thoughts in a firm and concise tone.

As expected, Wuming gave up the idea of ​​persuading Nok. He looked at Magri and murmured to himself:

What a nice young man, full of energy and willing to help others at first glance. If I ask, he won't refuse...

Nok gritted his teeth: Be a human being. I just gave you a protective barrier, and this is how you repay me?

You have to learn to be considerate. Wuming said, The embarrassment of reality will always make people do things they are unwilling to do, even if it becomes unbearable.

You are quite self-aware. Nok said coldly.

No, I'm referring to you. Wuming said, Just do me this favor.

No. Nok still refused, It is not advisable to rashly face a powerful enemy that far exceeds our strength.

She looked at Wu Ming: Aren't you quite powerful? Why don't you protect them yourself?

I can protect one or two. Wuming said, How many people do I have? It's not like there's only one bell hunter, there's also Greg. He's not very versatile.

He was indeed confident that he would be evenly matched with Greg, but another meaning of being evenly matched was that both sides would suffer heavy casualties.

Greg didn't care about other people's casualties, but the nameless employees and customers were injured one by one.

The number of times the Faded One has been blessed and resurrected is unknown, and there is always the possibility that he may never wake up the next time. Even if it is difficult for immortals to die, it does not mean that they cannot be injured. How will people with missing arms and legs work in the future?

Wuming looked at Nok pitifully:

Just do it, please help me.

No, said Knock.

She also has her own persistence. She didn't care about her own life, but when it involved another person, she refused to take such a big risk.

Seeing Nok being so determined, Wuming got a little angry:

Looks like I need to be more serious.

What are you going to do? Nok was cautious.

She has seen Wuming's strength, and they really can't resist this guy if he acts rogue. Precisely because she knew Wuming's strength, she didn't want to face the bell hunter who could compete with Wuming.

Wuming took out a bulging bag of runes:

How about fifty thousand runes a week? Are you making money?

What are you doing? Nok was confused.

Coercion and inducement. Wuming took out another return bone fragment, It's time for you to see the extensive business of our new round table. There will always be one that suits you and will impress you deeply.

Wuming put the returned bone fragment into Nok's hand and started to sell:

This is a high-speed teleportation item that can be used in battle. Are you afraid of risks? With this, when you run out of ammunition or encounter a strong enemy, you can return to the blessing supply at any time. Isn't it safe? many?

It's a good thing. Nok said calmly, But as long as you evaluate your own strength and plan the right route with self-awareness, the risk is much lower than facing the Suzu Hunter.

Wuming took out the barbecue: My secret ingredients can strengthen your strength and physical fitness in all aspects, allowing you to make a comeback in desperate situations...

Thank you, no, it's dangerous to exceed the power you can control. Nok remained calm, I know best about the destruction of the Quest Mystery. In the final analysis, if the impact of the attack cannot be controlled due to excessive power, wouldn't we be more vulnerable? It’s dangerous. If you fail and lose your barbecue, it’s not worth the loss. I trust prayer and magic more than props and foreign objects.”

Magic - I have a magic teacher, a top student from the Magic Academy. How about teaching you magic for free? Wuming said.

No, I can do it myself. Nok refused.

Where's the tailor? He has nice clothes.

What does an adventurer need nice clothes for?

Wuming said sadly: It is this kind of thinking that makes the aesthetics of the junction so backward. There is not even a single good-looking clothes.

The old god Nok was there, unmoved.

Wuming pointed at Haida again: That's a witch. I can ask her to help you absorb Rune's power.

Hearing this, Nok nodded:

It's a really good offer.

That's right. Wuming agreed, You can become stronger quickly——

Can we fight against the bell hunter before he comes? Nok asked.

Wu Ming is at a loss.

After all, Suzu Hunter's hero-level power is really scary. With one twist of that flying sword, it could cut everyone present in half. He can protect himself, but he may not be able to protect others.

It seems... we have to use the last resort. This is my latest business. It hasn't been planned for a long time. You should be lucky that you are the first customer. Wuming looked solemn, You forced me to do this. I don’t want to bring this up…”

Nok breathed a sigh of relief, Wuming's endless sales pitch was finally coming to an end.

In fact, the many benefits offered by Wuming are quite tempting, but when you think about the risks of this mission, and considering the erratic and intermittent blessings of the Faded One, the Faded One will lose the blessing again at some point and be affected by the law of eternal life. Abandoned by law, returning to the embrace of death...

Nok looked at Magri with firm eyes.

Wuming didn't take out anything else this time. He also looked at Magri and leaned into Nok's ear:

I can be a matchmaker and help you match him. Don't worry, I promise to keep it secret and keep it secret. After that, I will ask our tailor to give you a dress, and I will make sure you look beautiful...

Sparks like meteorites suddenly appeared on Nok's night-like skin, burning to the ends of his pointed ears.
