Last Totem Novel - Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Culture
After a brief introduction, Qin Ke’er brought the young man to the temple office.

Not long after, the two of them walked on the exquisite stone path one after the other. The young man pushed the motorcycle and followed behind. He seemed to be very interested in everything around him. He would occasionally stop and look around. He would look at the flowers and rain stones beneath his feet, look at the flowers and plants on the roadside, and stare at the road signs or billboards for a long time …

Qin Ke’er was furious when she saw the other party’s country bumpkin appearance. She urged impatiently, “Hurry up and leave ~ The people in the office will be off work soon, who will help you with the formalities ~”

“Alright.” The young man replied and followed closely behind.

The two of them walked along a small path in the suburbs of the city and arrived at an old building. The building is five stories tall and its exterior walls are made of red bricks. Because of its age, the red bricks were dark red, potholed on the surface and looked very old. However, it did not give people a sense of defeat. Instead, it gave them an ancient and elegant texture.

“Here it is.” Qin Ke’er said as she pointed at the red paint door that was about to fall off. Following her gaze, she saw a plaque hanging above the gate. On the plaque was a line of ancient and vigorous words: “Ancient Temple’s office in the Western Continent.”

“Yes.” The young man nodded to show that he understood. Afterwards, Qin Ke’er said that she had some personal matters to attend to and wanted to leave for a while. She instructed Zhang Tie to go through the formalities first and wait for her to return. “There are a lot of bad people here. Don’t run around,” she said in an intensified tone.

“Alright.” The young man nodded in cooperation. Looking at this honest fellow, Qin Ke’er frowned slightly and turned around to leave.

The young man parked his motorcycle and walked to the door. He adjusted his sleeves and collar, then pushed open the door and walked in.

After entering, there was a front hall with red carpet on the floor, fragmented wallpaper on the wall, and small paintings hanging on the wall. There were old wooden cabinets by the wall, and there were some decorative utensils and objects on the cabinets. The decoration and furnishings of the whole room gave off a sense of simplicity and seriousness.

A skinny old man sat at the side of the door. When he saw the young man enter, he stood up and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

“Elder Ebony.” The young man replied.

“Mm” The old man whispered and asked, “Is there anything you need?” Then, he explained, “I didn’t receive an appointment from Elder Ebony. I can’t let you go up.”

“My name is Zhang Tie. I’m from the Northern Wilderness Continent. Please inform me.” The young man said politely.

The old man frowned and thought for a moment. He suddenly clapped his hands and said with a sudden realization, “I remember!” Then, he pointed to the corner of the front hall and said, “Turn right over there and take the elevator to the fifth floor. Elder Ebony is waiting for you.”

The young man thanked the old man and took the elevator to the fifth floor. He knocked on the door of the office.

A vigorous old man came out to greet him. “Young man, I am Ebony End. May I know your name?” He asked after carefully examining the young man.

“Iron slag Northess.” The young man replied.

“Alright! Hurry up and come in!” Ebony Duan pulled Iron Cinder into the room with surprise. He poured him a cup of hot tea and said, “We have finished what the messenger told us. Here is your admission notice.” After saying that, Black Wood Duan took out a scroll from his bosom and handed it to the iron slag.

The iron slag took it and opened it for a while. It said,

[Central Silver City Military Academy Admission Letter]

After reading the contents of the scroll, Tie Zha solemnly thanked Ebony. Wu Mu Duan waved his hand, saying that it should be. He then warned him that this was the main camp of the Temple, so he had to hide it well. From now on, his identity as an outsider was the “Guardian of War Bear Temple”.

Wu Muduan explained. The War Bear Divine Temple was a branch of the Ancient Era’s armed forces. It did not have any subordinate branches, and no one would be able to hear about it. Wu Muduan also instructed that only he and the messenger knew Tie Zha’s true identity. He told Tie Zha not to mention it to anyone, including the people from the Ancient Temple.

“After a long time, many people’s beliefs are no longer firm …” Wu Mu Duan sighed to himself. “We’ve let down our ancestors. We haven’t taught the younger generation well.”

Facing the old man’s exclamation, Tie Zha didn’t know how to reply and chose to remain silent.

Sensing the awkwardness of the iron slag, Wu Mu Duan laughed and self-mocked, “Since you’re old, don’t mind young people talking too much.” Iron Slag shook his head and said no.

“Du Du Du …”

At this moment, the door of the office was knocked on. Wu Muduan said as he entered, and the door opened as soon as he finished speaking. Qin Ke’er walked in beautifully, then bowed respectfully to Ebony and whispered, “Elder, Ke’er is here.”

“Come, young people, let’s get to know each other. This is Zhang Tie, a descendant of our Battle Bear bloodline from the Northern Desolate Continent.” Ebony End introduced her with a smile.

Qin Ke’er did not answer, but looked at Tie Zha with hesitation. The latter stood up knowingly and said to Ebony, “Elder, we already know each other. She was the one who came to pick me up just now.”

Seeing this, Wu Mu Duan chuckled. He said that he was old and easily forgot things. Then he said that they were classmates of the same academy, so they had to be diligent and take care of each other in the future.

Hearing Elder Ebony’s words, Qin Ke’er cursed endlessly in her heart. How could this be an introduction to her classmates? It was simply an introduction to her blind date. The elder’s benevolent expression and expectant tone seemed to wish they could immediately open a room and fire a cannon, and hug a small one next year.

Who would marry this country bumpkin? Could it be that he ran to the Northern Wilderness to cultivate? Qin Ke’er thought in her heart, but her mouth sweetly replied.

“Try to help Zhang Tie familiarize himself with the surroundings before school starts. During this period, you don’t need to come back. I’ll pay you the hourly salary, okay?” Wu Muduan said.

“Alright.” Qin Ke’er replied obediently.

Just like that, Tie Zha and Qin Ke’er bid farewell to Elder Ebony and prepared to head to the Central Silver City Military Academy together.

After leaving the office, Tie Zha got on the motorcycle and signaled Qin Ke’er to sit on it. Qin Ke’er shriveled her mouth and said that she was not used to riding a motorcycle. It was not far anyway, so she could just walk back. Feeling helpless, Tie Zha could only push the motorcycle behind Qin Ke’er. After all, he had just arrived here and was unfamiliar with the place. He was also the headquarters of the Temple. In addition to his status as a wanted criminal in Silver City, it was really difficult for him to rush around.

After walking for more than an hour, the outline of the city gradually appeared in front of him. From afar, there were five islands of varying sizes floating above the city.

This was the legendary Eternal City, the miracle of humanity. Although he had previously imagined the appearance of this city in Zi Yanqing’s description and had seen the illustrations of sketches in books, it was only now that he saw with his own eyes how magnificent and majestic this city was.

Outside the city was a tall and thick wall that stretched out to the horizon! Such a vast project was simply unlike what humans had done, and it was more like a miracle that the gods had created heaven and earth.

Not an inch of land around the city was barren, either white stone roads or verdant grasslands, blooming flowers, towering ancient trees.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” Qin Ke’er turned around and asked. Looking at Tie Zha’s shocked expression, she remembered that when she first arrived here, she had a trace of a common feeling in her heart.

“Yes, it’s okay.” Tie Zha nodded. He had probably seen more flowers today than he had ever seen in his entire life.

“Not bad?” Qin Ke’er couldn’t help but frown. She didn’t expect this country bumpkin from the Northern Wilderness to be so arrogant. Seeing this palace in the mortal world, she could only say, “Not bad.” For this reason, she was inexplicably furious.

“Not bad.” Tie Zha looked at the magnificent city and replied subconsciously.

“This is the greatest city in human history, the Eternal City.” Qin Ke’er emphasized.

“Is that so?” Tie Zha asked casually. As for what the answer was, he didn’t care at all.

Qin Ke’er felt even more unhappy when she saw her opponent’s casual attitude. Wasn’t he just a scavenger from the Northern Wilderness? Why are you so arrogant! Her gaze narrowed as she looked straight at Tie Zha.

However, Tie Zha’s attention had long since been drawn to the spectacular scene in front of him, and he had not noticed Qin Ke’er’s change at all. His calm expression and casual tone aroused Qin Ke’er’s anger. If his gaze could kill, then he was already dead. Moreover, he had died many times. He was the kind of person who had died tragically …

“What’s the use of this city wall rising so high?” Tie Zha suddenly asked.

Qin Ke’er took the opportunity to curse, “Of course, it was to defend against foreign enemies. How stupid ~”

“The aircraft can’t block it, the mecha can’t block it, the missiles can’t block it, the cannonballs can’t block it, even the power armor can’t block it …”

‘”Ah” Qin Ke’er was speechless for a moment and didn’t know how to answer. She didn’t expect that this country bumpkin would have some experience.

“Resist wild beasts?” The iron slag prompted.

“Yes” Qin Ke’er nodded and regained her confidence. “You’re smart ~”

“The question is, where did the beast come from?” “Ah …” “Even if there are wild beasts, do we need to use the city walls to defend against them?” “Ah …” “Do we need to use a city wall that is tens of meters tall to defend?”

Qin Ke’er suddenly pointed at the highest floating island and shouted, “Look at that … that …”

“What’s that?” Iron Slag asked.

“Eternal Lighthouse.” Qin Ke’er successfully changed the topic.

“I know. There’s also the Land of God, the Strong Fortress, the Crown District, the Upper City District …”

“Wuwa ~ Tyrant ~ Zhang Tie is so amazing. He must be a good student in school.” Qin Ke’er pretended to admire him, thinking that this country bumpkin was really hard to deal with. As the saying goes, hooligans are not scary. They are afraid that hooligans have culture.
