Last Totem Novel - Chapter 215
Chapter 215 Undercurrent
A moment later, Tie Zha arrived in front of the command office. He straightened his clothes and knocked lightly on the door.
“Come in.” A young voice came from inside. With permission, Tie Zha opened the door handle and walked in. It was a spacious office with a very high ceiling and a gilded red stall. On each side was a row of red-robed wooden bookcases. Compared to General Richie’s crude and narrow office, this place was considered luxurious. Although there was still a gap between them and Qin Assistant’s office, this was still a war zone, so there was no need to get too much flashy stuff.
Standing at the door, there was a large desk in the middle of the office. Behind the desk sat a brown-haired, brown-eyed young man in a general’s uniform. At this moment, he was completely absorbed in the documents in his hands, as if he did not notice that someone had entered.
Seeing this, Tie Zha frowned imperceptibly. Then, he brought the two women to his desk and silently looked at the young general. Before coming here, he had already checked the information. The young general was called Maura Gallio and held the rank of Major General. He was one of the three Major Generals of the Academy Alliance in Desert Five.
The Academy Alliance had three strongholds in Desert Five. One was a camp in Sand Wind Castle, and the other two were strongholds on the outskirts. The three major generals would each be responsible for one branch and would be led by a lieutenant general dispatched by the World Conference. The entire No.5 Desert was divided into “Theater of Operations No.5” by the Silver City military, and its highest commander was General Milo Field, the person in charge of Windsand Castle.
A few minutes later, Maura Gallio was still absorbed in the documents in her hands. Seeing the Major General’s indifferent attitude, Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and continued to wait silently. General Mora Gallio’s main task was to receive and arrange for the Student Alliance’s team to enter the theatre, but he was clearly deliberately trying to embarrass the new Guild Leader by putting aside the new Guild Leader.
In silence, time passed like this minute by minute …
About ten minutes later, the young general shifted his body, seemingly about to turn around. Qin Ke’er and Mu Qian He mistakenly thought that he was going to look over, so they immediately stood up and looked straight ahead. However, General Gallio casually picked up the wine glass on his desk, took a sip of the wine, and put it down. At this point, his gaze never left the report in his hand.
At this time, Mu Qianhe finally lost his temper and was about to step forward to warn General Gario. But before she could say anything, she was blocked by a gesture from Tie Zha. The words that had just reached his mouth were instantly forcefully swallowed back.
Another twenty minutes passed in a cold silence …
General Gallio finally finished reading the report. He slowly turned around and put down the documents. Then, he looked at Tie Zha and asked indifferently, “Is there anything you need me for?”
“It’s fine.” After saying that, Tie Zha waved his hand and walked out with the two women without turning back. This General Gario was obviously trying to make things difficult for him, wanting to give him a blow, but how could he not fight back?
Just as he was about to reach the door, General Gallio’s voice suddenly came from behind him. However, Tie Zha did not even stop for an instant. He walked out of the office as if he did not hear him.
Looking at the departing back of Captain Sacha, Maura Gallio frowned and lowered her head into deep thought. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and revealed a ferocious expression. He suddenly grabbed the wine cup and smashed it fiercely against the wall beside him. “Boom!” The glass smashed into the wall and shattered into countless pieces of glass mixed with brandy.
Just three hours ago, after the wolf army convoy entered the camp, a dozen nobles led by Edward Sosi came to his office and asked him to uphold justice for Alan Rudolph and expel Commander Sacha. As the person in charge of the camp, he needed the support of these nobles in order to control this place more thoroughly. Although he did not have the authority to expel the head of the Academy Alliance, he could make things difficult for the other party and send the other party to high-risk areas to carry out missions.
Mora’s original plan was to leave Sa Cha Cha to the side and kill his spirit. When he was in a state of panic, he would say a few good words and then send him to the edge of Desert Five to carry out a high-risk mission. However, from the looks of it, this Guild Leader Sa Jia Qi was a tough one to deal with. I’m afraid he won’t accept a high-risk mission directly.
Thinking of this, Mora picked up the landline and dialed an old friend’s voice. After a few humble words from both sides, he looked casual and asked in a calm tone, “Have you ever heard of Sa Jia Qi?”
The receiver remained silent for a moment and replied, “Never heard of it.”
“Old friend, can you help me ask what his background is?” Mora pleaded.
“Alright, you wait” Not long after, the sound of the microphone being picked up again came from the other side, and Mora immediately concentrated. Then, a deep voice came from the other side, “The information about the life preservation of the War Bear Temple looks very ordinary. There is nothing special about it.”
“What about the consumption records?” Mora asked.
“I don’t see any clues. It’s probably an ordinary War Bear Temple. There’s no trace of any big shot paying attention to it.” Said the other side.
“Are you sure?” Mora asked nervously.
“Don’t you believe me?” “Unless Ernest arrives personally or the three assistants of the Student Union use their privileges at the same time, I will be able to find the records.”
‘”Old friend, that’s not what I meant” Mo La hurriedly explained after the other party finished speaking.
“Alright, let’s not talk anymore. I still have things to do.” As soon as he finished speaking, the communication was cut off.
After the communication ended, Mora rubbed her chin and fell into deep thought. He thought that if Sa Jia Jia Qi could really attract the attention of these people, there was no need to come to him to arrange a mission. From this, it can be seen that Sa Cha Cha should not have any deep backgrounds/scenery. However, you have to be cautious in everything. It’s better to observe for a period of time …
As he thought about it, he picked up the landline and dialed the second voice communication. When he got through, he said, “Edward, come to my office.”
“Alright” The other side answered, and Mora immediately hung up the communication.
Ten minutes later, Edward pushed the door open and walked to his desk. Looking at the bruised and swollen face of the former, Mora couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with you?”
“No … it’s fine. I got drunk and fought a fight. It’s all skin wounds.” Edward didn’t dare to tell the truth. Song Haohe was famous for being brutal and stunned. If he offended him deeply, he might really have a duel with him. Although they were all Tier 4 Psionic Adepts and would definitely be evenly matched in battle, there was no need for them to risk their lives for such a small conflict.
Maura Gallio did not continue the topic. After a moment of silence, he stood up and turned to look at the scenery painting on the wall. “If you really want to exclude that person, you should unite and exert pressure from all sides …” he said slowly.
“You mean …” Edward asked hesitantly.
“I’m not interested. Think for yourself.” General Gallio raised his hand to Edward and signaled for him to step down.
“Understood.” Edward saluted and turned to leave the office.
At the same time, Tie Zha returned to the resting area of the tent. At this moment, he was sitting on the couch, thinking about the current situation. Obviously, the small noble circles here had developed quite a bit of hostility towards him. And this hostility extends to Maura Gallio. This meant that for a long time to come, not only would he not be able to receive suitable missions, he might also be assigned to areas with a higher risk factor. Of course, the higher the risk factor, the higher the income. In this regard, the Academy Alliance was fair. Even if Mora wanted to harm him, she couldn’t do it too clearly. However, the Wolf Legion was still a new team, unable to handle high-intensity missions. Therefore, he must think of a way to get out of this predicament …
“Let’s talk to someone. Who should we talk to? Little Yu or Xiaoqing?”
He quickly gave up the idea. On the surface, Mu Yu Ling Lan and Mu Yuqin Xin had extremely high social status, but in reality, their status was not stable at the moment. This could be found in Mu Yu Ling Lan’s words. Mu Yuqinxin had also said that Mu Yu Ling Lan had to advance to Saint Rank in order to be able to truly stabilize her position in Notre Dame Academy. Seeking their help at this time may affect their reputation in Notre Dame.
According to the tradition of Notre Dame, cultivators who serve the gods all their lives cannot have sex with the opposite sex, much less marry, until they return to the mortal world. Although there was no one to interfere in private, after all, both men and women had physiological needs, on the surface, they were absolutely not allowed to do so. Perhaps no one paid attention to the cultivators at the bottom, but as high-ranking goddesses and priests, they couldn’t take the lead in breaking the rules, could they? Even though cultivators who violated the precepts would not be punished substantively, their status in Notre Dame would inevitably be damaged. Unless she could advance to Saint realm and become the pillar of Notre Dame, the foundation of Silver City’s world.
If Mu Yu Ling Lan had had too much contact with him at this moment, not to mention Mu Yu Qinxin and the attitude of praying for rain, with her goddess of happiness’s popularity, she would definitely cause a huge wave of gossip.
After some consideration, he decided to wait and see for a while before considering his next plan. For now, at least, the situation is not so bad that life or death is at stake.
“Guild Leader, Ke’er feels …” Looking at Sa Cha Cha who was in deep thought, Qin Ke’er suggested, “We should go to the general to collect the mission. If we meet the right one, we will leave the Wind Sand Castle first. If we meet the wrong one, we will push it off. If he still arranges some inappropriate missions a few more times, we will directly write to Ernest and complain about his abuse of power for personal gain.”
“Yes, complain about him!” Mu Qianhe clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
“No” Tie Zha shook his head and said, “Expanding the influence is not good for us …” He paused for a moment and continued, “Don’t forget, we also killed two Templars.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the two women fell silent …
