Last Totem Novel - Chapter 114
Chapter 114 Inheritance
The next morning, the sky was blue.
In the open space in front of the castle, flying machines soared into the sky and flew towards the far east in the morning sun. Zi Yanqing left with Bi Qingluan’s body. Tie Zha stood at the highest point of the castle, watching them leave. Before leaving, Zi Yanqing introduced the driver to Tie Zha. The driver was a middle-aged uncle, quiet, honest and earnest. Upon hearing Zi Yanqing’s instructions, he immediately expressed his stance to Tie Zha, “Heaven, South, Earth, Sea of Blades, Mountains, Flames, and Sea of Flames, go with you.”
After sending Zi Yanqing off, Tie Zha came to the kitchen and prepared to eat breakfast. Currently, Cozan was not in the kitchen as usual, and he didn’t know where he was. There was hot food on the long table and a note under the cutlery. As the iron slag ate, he opened the note and read it. There is only a simple sentence: “Friend, I am waiting for your arrival in front of the Holy Flame.”
After eating, Tie Zha immediately got up and headed to the ruins of the temple.
He walked through the pitch-black Heroic Spirit Hall with a candle in his hand. In the faint candlelight, the figures of the heroes were faintly visible. It had been more than two years since he had come here. He had grown from a youth to a young man, and he had removed all of his youthfulness. The originally ignorant world gradually became clearer. When he thought back to the beginning of the year, he couldn’t help but laugh at himself. At that time, he did not understand anything, lacked knowledge of the world, and judged the problem by his own preferences. To put it bluntly, he was just an idiot.
Over the past two years, Cozan had taught him a lot about fighting skills, ancient traditions, the laws of the world, and the branches of power. Everything, everything that could be taught him, everything was taught. However, they were about to separate. Just as the old man said, there was no feast in the world that did not come to an end, and their best friend would leave in the end.
However, I don’t know when we’ll be able to meet again after this farewell …
Looking at the familiar passageway, a trace of reluctance appeared in his heart. He had gradually become familiar with this place. Every evening, Cozan would bring him along, chatting as he walked over to take a look at the brilliant fire seed …
In his mind, the melodious music of the zither echoed from far to near, echoing in this far-reaching passageway. Raising his eyes, a faint flame appeared in front of him. That was the end of the tunnel. He took a deep breath and hurried over.
Walking out of the Heroic Temple, Cozan stood in front of the altar, dressed in military uniform and with a sharp sword on his waist. He held a silver harmonica in his hands and was playing the ancient music with rapt attention. The sound of the zither was loud and clear, profound and long, and sometimes sad, as if it was whispering about the boundless years, sometimes excited, as if a horn was blowing, war drums were sounding in unison, and it emitted a heaven-shaking roar.
This was the legendary glorious war song that had sunk into the river of history.
Tie Zha quietly walked to the old man’s side and watched the flames jumping on the altar.
At the end of the song, the old man put down his harmonica and turned to look at the iron slag. “Child, you will leave this place and spread your wings to become a flying falcon.”
“Perhaps …”
“We’ll never see each other again in our lives.”
“Today, I will teach you one last tradition. Please listen carefully.”
After saying that, the old man faced the flames and whispered to them in a low voice.
Winter is coming, and eternal night is coming.
On the eve of darkness, I will put on my father’s armor and watch over the brilliant fire seeds from now on until I die.
I will listen to the teachings of my ancestors, abide by the ancient precepts, and remember the glory of the past.
I will not fight for honor or disgrace, nor seek power.
My sword is not unsheathed for fame, my shield is not raised to the good, my gaze is not stopped for money and beauty, my blood is not boiling for love and hatred in the mortal world.
I am the silent stone pillar, the guardian of the altar.
I am the bell that announces dawn, pouncing on the feathers of the flames, tearing open the claws of darkness, the last line of defense of the temple.
I swear that I will defend this place day and night, year and month, all my life.
“Tie Zha Northess, please remember this oath.”
“When you truly understand this world, experience the love, hate, and enmity in this world, and see the prosperous and prosperous times.”
“If you still want to become a Saint Wolf Guardian at that moment, then please swear in your heart.”
“No matter where you are, we will hear your oath.”
“I will remember it. I will never forget it.” Tie Zha solemnly promised to Cozan.
“Alright!” Cozan nodded and pressed on Tie Zha’s shoulder. After staring at him for a while, he said, “Child, you’ve grown taller and stronger.”
Tie Zha scratched his hair and said sincerely, “Thank you for taking care of me for the past two years.” With that, he took a step back and bowed deeply to the old man.
Cozan lifted him up, opened his arms, hugged him tightly, and walked to the other side of the altar, saying, “Child, the fate of the insectivator will not change until the earth is reignited by the glorious sacred flame. If you have the opportunity, go to the Forgotten’s cemetery and see the people living there.”
Tie Zha nodded solemnly.
“Child, you have to live a good life and take care of yourself …”
“Learn your skills well first, and then make more friends. When you truly understand this world, you can consider more far-reaching issues.”
“Although we shouldered the mission and inherited the will of our father’s generation, this cannot be accomplished overnight.”
“You must be patient. We have already waited for 200 years. We don’t care if we wait for another 200 years or even 2,000 years! We don’t care!”
“We just need to keep our faith in our hearts and never forget it, and then pass it down from generation to generation.”
“Until one day, the heavens bestowed upon us the dawn of victory!”
“At that moment, all the fire seeds will be summoned by the lightning hammer, gathering together to usher in a new era!”
“Child, please remember, as long as our obsession remains, our glory will last forever!”
“Child, you must never forget that this is your home!”
“Child, I’m old, I don’t have much time …”
“Thank you for your two years of companionship. Let this final time be filled with hope and joy.”
“Please accept the gift from our ancestors! Our Xin Chong’s life!” Before he could finish his sentence, Cozan suddenly pulled out the sharp sword from his waist!
Tie Zha’s eyes widened in shock as he rushed towards Cozan!
However, he wanted to stop it, but it was already in vain …
Cozan Blood Wolf’s sharp sword had already pierced through his heart!
In an instant, blazing blood sprayed out!
“No!” He roared with tears in his heart as he pounced on the old man and tightly covered his chest. But no matter what he did, blood still spilled out of his fingers and dyed his old military uniform red …
Feeling his body gradually turn cold, tears gushed out uncontrollably. Men have tears, but not to the point of sadness. In his entire life, even if someone broke his entire body’s bones, he hadn’t shed a single tear.
“Child, please don’t be sad. This is the way we inherit the insects.” The old man struggled to raise his hand and gently caressed his head. He comforted him in a low voice, “My teacher did the same …” After a while, the old man took out a letter from his pocket with trembling hands and put it into his hand. Then, he held it tightly and said, “Child, live well …”
Tie Zha nodded forcefully.
As he was dying, the old man looked at the flames and whispered, “Friends, Cozan is here …”
His voice became softer and softer, and everything finally returned to its calm.
Tie Zha sobbed as he stretched out his hand and pressed it on Cozan’s bloodied chest. A few seconds later, countless bright red, root-like blood vessels burrowed out of his skin and burrowed into Cozan’s flesh like living creatures, searching for, recognizing, and duplicating …
His face was pale without a trace of blood, and his entire lips were pale. Cold sweat kept dripping down, and his body was shaking, as if he was so weak that he could collapse at any moment.
In the dark, he felt countless shackles shattering and reorganizing …
Moments later, he acquired a new ability, the legend of the Bug Transformers-the life of the Xin worm!
This was the greatest inheritance in the world, and it was also the greatest entrustment in the world.
This is a glorious faith, sacrificing to achieve the future, carrying the past with faith, exchanging life for hope!
After doing all of this, Tie Zha picked up Cozan’s tall body and walked towards the Heroic Spirit Palace step by step …
