Last Totem Novel - Chapter 208
Chapter 208 Confused
After drinking this glass of wine, Mu Qianhe followed the etiquette of the Far East. He held the wine cup in both hands and flipped it outwards. He showed Tie Zha the bottom of her cup and said in a greasy voice, “Sir Guild Leader ~ Qianhe, let’s toast first. Please have a proper amount ~”
Tie Zha tilted his head and looked at the female mecha pilot. Then, he coldly snorted and raised his head to drink it all in one gulp.
“Guild Leader, you’re a good drinker ~” Mu Qianhe said as he pressed his chest against his shoulder, intentionally or unintentionally.
‘”Sir Guild Leader ~ Ke’er also wants to drink ~” Qin Ke’er picked up her glass and said playfully. Without saying a word, Tie Zha touched her glass and felt stuffy. As the saying goes, “rare heroic spirit, the hardest to endure beauty favor.” Facing the toasts of the two women Yingying Yanyan, Tie Zha drank one cup after another, and the more he drank, the more intoxicated he became. At this time, the insect-like genes in his body began to move restlessly. They longed for blood, longed for vent, longed for females …
Driven by his instincts, he gradually lost control of his behavior. He took the initiative to hug the two girls and subconsciously pinched them. At this time, the atmosphere of the celebration banquet reached a climax. The team members came together in twos and threes. Some hooked their shoulders, some whispered to each other, some were loud, some were hugging each other, some were crying with their heads crossed, some were crying quietly, and some were recalling their teammates who had lost their lives in the war to their heart’s content …
Time slowly passed in the dense atmosphere. At this moment, no one noticed the Guild Leader’s loss of manners. Even before the celebration banquet ended, Tie Zha was already drunk and leaning on Mu Qianhe. He rarely got drunk like this. The reason he lost control tonight was partly because the two women were doing it on purpose, and partly because he wanted to drink himself. After all, as the Guild Leader, whether he wanted to drink or not was just a matter of his words. Could it be that Mu Qianhe and Qin Ke’er still dared to force him to drink?
The appearance of Mu Yu Ling Lan had brought him a tremendous mental impact. The beautiful future she had woven had completely plunged him into confusion. Watching the figure of the Iraqi leave, he began to worry about the gains and losses and hesitated. From noon onwards, his mood became more and more unstable. His thoughts were in chaos. He hesitated, hesitated, and didn’t know where to go. That initial decision had already been shaken, and he began to hesitate, hesitating to advance.
“This is the happiness I want” Until this moment, he finally understood that this kind of life was what he wanted.
He had originally thought that his lifelong pursuit should be to ignite the sacred flame and regain its glory. From Tieshan Town to the end of the world, and then from the end of the world to the academy, he only felt that his faith was becoming more and more firm, and the goal he pursued in this life was becoming clearer and clearer. However, just a few hours ago, Mu Yu Ling Lan had destroyed his seemingly solid barrier with just a few words, causing it to be riddled with holes and scattered everywhere.
He had thought that the future he had built for himself was everything to him, that he would walk the boundless earth and do his part to ignite the glorious sacred flame. But now, it seemed that this pursuit was so far away, so pale and powerless, illusory, and even meaningless. He couldn’t help but ask himself, was this useful?
Before this, he had an illusion because he had never faced any real temptation, nor had he ever encountered anyone who could truly give him a future.
Once his thoughts were released, he would become unrestrained and uncontrollable. He couldn’t help but imagine that if Lena Euclid were standing right in front of him, she would say gently, “Baby, let’s go back to Iron Mountain Town ~”
How could he answer such a request? Perhaps, he would immediately agree. In this world, who doesn’t love the warm quilt, and who doesn’t attach to their homeland. If conditions permitted, who would be willing to walk in the midst of the bloody storm, and who would be willing to live a life where the blade licked the blood and was in a precarious situation?
At the very least, he, Tie Zha, was unwilling …
He couldn’t help but imagine that he would return to Silver City 13 with Mu Yu Ling Lan and Mu Yuqinxin, and then go to the Endless Sand Sea to find Lena. A super expert, a future Saint rank, and a pretty young lover. Then he will live a happy life. Moreover, he could continue Northas’ bloodline. As long as he could pass on his obsession, he would fulfill his duty as a fire seed. At the same time, this was what Cozan expected of him.
However, if he chose another path that was filled with thorns, it meant that he was destined to be lonely for a lifetime. Lena wasn’t an insect, and Mu Yu Ling Lan and Mu Yuqin Xin weren’t either. They didn’t need to shoulder such a heavy fate like him. Even if they were willing, he would not pull them into the brilliant war chariot. Because all of this had nothing to do with them …
He looked up at the stars and into the distance. He wanted to ask them, “How should I choose?” But no one could answer him, because they were all gone …
Old Man Tie taught him iron and blood, but he did not teach him how to choose. Cozan taught him the temple tradition, but he did not teach him how to choose.
A multitude of ideas filled his mind, causing him to tangle endlessly. In his confusion, he was so drunk that he only wanted to get drunk.
Seeing that the Guild Leader was drunk, Wang Hu secretly sighed and called for the porcupines and matches to send Mu Qianhe, Qin Ke’er and the unconscious Guild Leader back to the camp. A moment later, the porcupine drove the jeep and brought the four of them back to the night lighthouse. As they passed by the rest center, Mu Qianhe and Qin Ke’er asked to get off the car. But as soon as the porcupine stopped, it saw Tie Zha, whose consciousness was somewhat blurry, get out of the car slowly. Mu Qianhe and Qin Ke’er immediately chased after him and supported him left and right.
At this moment, Tie Zha was completely sober and drunk. He looked like a fool, just like the sequelae of the stimulants he had consumed in the past. As soon as the two women touched his body, he naturally wrapped his arms around the little brute’s waist on both sides and wrapped them around him.
“You guys go back first. We’ll take care of the Guild Leader.” Mu Qianhe said to the porcupine in the driver’s seat.
The porcupine turned his head and was about to say no, but at this moment, the corner of his eyes lit up and he saw the match in the passenger seat winking at him. He immediately came to his senses and forcefully patted his head, saying, “Then … Guild Leader will leave it to Captain Mu to take care of.” In his eyes, Mu Qianhe was a reliable person. Even though the Guild Leader was a little confused, there was no need to worry about his safety. After experiencing the Battle of the Dark Jungle, they had lived and died side by side. In addition, Mu Qianhe had once been willing to be humiliated in order to protect the interests of the guild. This proved her loyalty to the guild. Moreover, the half-drunk Guild Leader didn’t seem to want to leave the two women. As a subordinate, he couldn’t ruin the boss’s good deeds.
After the porcupine and the match left, Mu Qianhe took the initiative to open a guest room on the second floor of the resting center and helped Tie Zha up …
Not long after, the two of them returned to Xuemili Bar and informed Vice Guild Leader Wang Hu of the situation. The latter immediately widened his eyes and reprimanded the two of them for not abandoning the Guild Leader. After this period of time, he knew that the Guild Leader didn’t want to get too close to the two women, so he had been avoiding suspicions. But at this time, he had no other choice. He couldn’t send someone to knock on the door …
At that time, everyone would be inhumane inside and outside. No matter if it was facing the Guild Leader or the two women, they would no longer be able to tell right from wrong. Moreover, if something really happened, it wouldn’t be the Guild Leader who would suffer …
That night, Tie Zha had a long, long dream. He dreamt that he had returned to Tie Shan Town, and in that spacious office, the female chief constable was gently hugging him, whispering softly in his ear. They will be fighting on the sofa, fighting in the bathtub, and in bed …
In his comfortable dreams, he felt the peace and relaxation that he had not seen for a long time. Ever since Old Man Tie’s death, he had been living on alert, like a gerbil in the wilderness. He had always pricked up his ears, rolled his eyes, and vigilantly dodged those unknown and sudden dangers. Even in the small mountain’s home, within the tall and thick fence, he still couldn’t put down all his guard. His spear and sword were always within reach. Only by Lena’s side could he feel a moment of peace and relaxation. Since when, in his subconscious, Lena’s appearance meant that he was truly safe, and that the danger had already left him.
Just as Tie Zha was dreaming, Bi Qinglan connected to a video communication in a large house by the Cold Lake in the academy tens of thousands of kilometers away.
A young man with blonde hair, blue eyes, handsome appearance and military uniform appeared in the wide glass curtain wall. After the Unicom video, he nodded outside the screen and greeted, “Dear Miss Bi Qinglan, may I help you on this charming night?”
“Good evening, Major Mayfield.” Bi Qinglan said with a dignified expression, “At present, we have made new progress in the case of the disappearance of two expeditionary army knights.”
The handsome young man smiled and said, “Thank you.”
“We found two damaged holy light armors near the battlefield, suspected to be the possession of two missing holy knights. After testing, we found a fatal penetrating wound on each of the two holy light armors. We initially concluded that it was caused by a psionic martial artist rifle.” Bi Qinglan paused for a moment before continuing, “All clues point to the leader of the werewolf army, Sa Jia Qi, because he is the only one who possesses a psionic warrior rifle in this battle.”
Major Mayfield placed his hands on his chest, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, “Is there enough evidence?”
“No.” Bi Qinglan replied straightforwardly, then added, “Later, I will send someone to send the two power armors over and leave them to you to handle.”
“Alright.” Mayfield nodded and said, “Beautiful Miss Bi Qinglan, thank you for your help. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me. The door of the expeditionary army will always be open to you.”
“Yes.” Bi Qinglan replied indifferently.
“Miss Bi Qinglan, my door will always be open for you.” Mayfield smiled and said in a frivolous tone.
“Major Mayfield, I am the Spirit Snake Holy Lady of the Ancient Temple. Please pay attention to your words,” Bi Qinglan’s expression suddenly changed as she looked into the eyes of the young major and said word by word, “Major Mayfield, I am the Spirit Snake Holy Lady of the Ancient Temple.” After she finished speaking, she slapped her palm and forcefully hung up the video communication button.
After a long period of silence, Bi Qinglan looked at the pitch-black glass curtain wall and sighed deeply. The people of the Dawn expeditionary army were getting more and more excessive. Just a small major dared to disrespect the Holy Maiden who represented the Ancient Temple’s Spirit Snake bloodline. She remembered what her father had said. The weak would be bullied and would never change. If it weren’t for the existence of the glorious bloodline, the situation of the ancient bloodline would have been even worse. However, she believed that it was precisely because the Ancient Temple secretly supported the glorious legacy veins that caused the Temple’s hostility.
However, she could never deny that the root of all this was weakness …
