Last Totem Novel - Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Go Home
As the saying goes, whatever you are afraid of will come. As soon as Tie Zha arrived near the gas station, he saw a few high-grade white motorcycles parked in the gas station from afar.

The motorcycles, much larger than the red comet, are streamlined and consist of compound wheels alongside each other, with at least twelve jet bags on both sides. The motorcycle was sprayed with white baking paint and dazzled in the sun. A very conspicuous symbol-a red, gold-trimmed cross-was engraved on the tank and on the storage compartments on both sides of the car.

This was the symbol of the Temple Crusaders, representing the Temple’s conventional martial power. The Templar Crusaders were composed of Templar Knights, Templar Retainers, and Templar Attendants. Their titles represented strength and rank, respectively. The exact division was determined by the psionic energy contained within the psionic user’s body.

The psionic energy in the temple attendants’ bodies was relatively thin, and they could only use part of their psionic weapons. At the same time, their potential was limited, and they were mainly used as cannon fodder on the battlefield. Temple retainers possessed the most basic level of psionic power, and could normally use psionic power armor. Normally, their psionic power would still have room for improvement. The Templar Knights were the core combat strength of the Templar Crusaders. They were basically upgraded by the templar retainers who had fought hundreds of battles.

In the parish of the Temple, the figures of the Temple Crusaders could often be seen. They traveled around the parish, preaching the teachings of the temple and absorbing believers while cleaning up heretics and purifying the world.

This was why Tie Zha rarely left Tieshan Town. It was located in the parish of Notre Dame, and Notre Dame only sent a few nuns to preach and give alms everywhere. It had little effect on the lives of the people on the ground.

Tie Zha looked outside the gas station for a while and found no sign of the Temple Crusaders near the motorcycle. He estimated that the owner of the motorcycle should rest at the gas station. Therefore, he decided to bravely go in and refuel. Anyway, it was only a matter of a few minutes.

As a result, something happened while refueling.

Several well-dressed young men walked out of the gas station store. They saw the iron slag being refueled and whistled around. These people were local hooligans and ruffians, and when they saw outsiders, they wanted to go up and extort some money.

Originally, Iron Slag’s entire body was emitting a murderous aura that was as if it was real. Ordinary hooligans would voluntarily give up their entanglement as long as they were taken a glance at by him, but the hooligans they met today were especially courageous. Although they were scared back by the sharp gaze of the iron slag at the beginning, they quickly regained their previous arrogance, and all of them appeared to be fearless.

If this was Tieshan Town, these people would have died long ago. But this was Furnace Town, and Tie Zha, as an outsider, did not want to cause trouble. Moreover, there were a few Temple motorcycles parked beside him, so he didn’t want to attract the attention of the Temple Crusaders.

Tie Zha hesitated whether to give some money to settle things. Under such circumstances, as long as he was willing to give the other party a few silver coins, the other party would usually let them go. But at this moment, a ruffian circled around the side of the motorcycle and reached out to lift You Ge’s hood.

The iron slag unhesitatingly punched out!

His fist heavily smashed into the ruffian’s face with Li Feng, sending him flying a few meters away. The ruffian smashed his head into the oiler, and blood flowed out of his eyes, nose, and mouth. Half of his face was deeply sunk in, and the frontal bones on the side of his face were completely shattered.

The ruffians surrounding the motorcycle were stunned for a moment, then they shouted and rushed into the gas station.

“Ah! Not good!” “Outsiders are going to kill!” “Killed!”

At this moment, Tie Zha understood that the reason why they were so fearless was because someone was supporting them. However, if he were to leave halfway through the refueling, it would appear that he was too weak, which would be even more unfavorable to escape. Therefore, the iron slag continued to refuel expressionlessly as if there was no one else.

After a while, three people walked out of the gas station store. The three of them wore the same standard of white armor. The armor sheets reflected the luster of baking paint, and it was hard to tell whether the material was steel or reinforced plastic. The seams of the nails were made of gelatin artificial leather and looked very smooth. A thick metal hose was welded to the armor’s shoulder armor and arm armor. From the side, the metal hose was connected to a metal cuboid on the back. The lower part of the cuboid has two jet openings, probably the power center and the jet airbag.

This armor covered people from head to toe, like a personal spacesuit. This was a typical psionic power armor.

When he saw these three people, the iron slag’s pupils contracted sharply. The reason for that was because all three of them had a tear-shaped shield painted on their breastplates. The center of the shield was a red, gold-rimmed cross. Old Man Tie once described such a badge. He told the iron slag to stay away from the person who wore the badge. This was the symbol of the Templars-the Sacred Shield Badge

Tie Zha involuntarily clenched his hands, and cold sweat oozed out of his palms. This was his innate sense of crisis, and he could feel the danger of the other party. Perhaps a psionic warrior would not be able to withstand a single blow in front of him, but a Knight Templar equipped with a psionic power armor was definitely an existence far superior to him.

“He, it’s him!” Just now, those ruffians had crawled out from behind the three Templars. They pointed at the iron slag and said in a tongue-tied manner.

“I don’t know why, but this outsider suddenly hit someone.” “Yes, it’s him. My lord, look what he has done to him.” “Look at how strong he is. He might be a mutant.” “Yes, yes, yes. It must be a dirty mutant.” “Burn him to death!” “Yes, burn him to death!”

Facing this shameless slander, Tie Zha was furious and his eyes were about to spit fire. The muscles on his body tensed up. No matter what the result was, these ruffians had to die! Even if it was to lose his life.

The leading Knight Templar was a middle-aged man in his forties. He first glanced at the ruffians lying beside the refueling appliance and then pointed at Tie Zha and said, “Outsiders, come with me. Holy Light is always notarized.”

Tie Zha knew what Holy Light meant. It was the white light emitted by the gene scanner. It seemed that he had no other choice. It was impossible for him to place his hopes on Youge’s identity. No matter how influential the Lombardi family was, they could not violate the basic teachings of the Temple. In the Diocese of the Temple, as long as his identity as a mutant was detected, no one would be able to save him, not even the Cardinal, who represented the highest authority of the Temple.

Therefore, there was only battle now! There was only one path left.

“Wait.” Tie Zha raised his hand and said. Then, he turned around and whispered in You Ge’s ear, “The rest of the road is not far, I will send you here.”

You Ge doesn’t answer him, but gets out of the car directly. She stood in front of the middle-aged Knight Templar and lifted her head, saying word by word, “I am Yoga Lombar, this is my bodyguard, you have no right to inspect him!”

“In the holy land, we have the right to inspect anyone. Of course, that includes you, Miss Lombar.” The middle-aged Knight Templar said in a deep voice.

“I suggest you … search the Temple database for this name first. I’ll say it again! I’m Yoga Lombar!”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Knight Templar hesitated for a moment. He turned around and looked into the eyes of his two companions behind him, as if he was using his gaze to seek their opinions. One of the Knights Templar nodded and took out a palm-sized communicator to input information. A few seconds later, the Knight Templar raised his head in shock, repeatedly comparing the photos on the communicator with Youge’s appearance. A few seconds later, the holy knight handed the communication device to the middle-aged holy knight.

The middle-aged Knight Templar looked at the screen of the communicator and was shocked.

The communicator’s screen shows.

(Photo of silver-haired girl)

[Name] Ugo Lombar

[Exalted Level] S Class

He looked at You Ge in disbelief. The information displayed on the screen was very simple. There were only three pieces of data: the photo, the name, and the honorable rank. This meant that he, the captain of the Temple Crusaders, had no right of access to Yoga Lombar’s information. And these figures only told him clearly what kind of attitude he needed to use to face this distinguished guest.

Within the organization of the Temple, S-class VIPs received the same courtesy as regional Archbishops, second only to the Arch-Cardinal himself.

The middle-aged Templar knew this very well, so he immediately stood up and bowed deeply to You Ge. The other two Templar Knights also bowed when they saw this.

Seeing this scene, both Tie Zha and the hooligans were stunned at the same time. The ruffians opened their mouths wide, and an ominous thought flashed through their hearts. They thought that this was the end, and this kick could be considered a kick on an iron plate.

“These people are making trouble for no reason. What do you think?” You Ge asks.

Before the Knights Templar could reply, the ruffians began to cry and beg for mercy. As they slapped their mouths hard, they began to repent with tears streaming down their cheeks.

“Sir, we have eyes that do not recognize Mount Tai” “We are dogs.” “No, the dogs are cleaner than us.” “Even our dogs are inferior …” “Sir, please spare my life.”

You Ge frowns and grits his teeth and says, “Scram!”

When the ruffians heard this word, they heaved a sigh of relief and ran away. In less than three seconds, they had disappeared without a trace.

“Noble Miss Lombar, please forgive my presumptuousness. How can you come here with only one guard? This is too dangerous.” The middle-aged Knight Templar said respectfully.

“This gentleman escorted me back when my flying machine crashed into the endless sea of sand.” You Ge introduced.

The three Knights of the Temple turned around and bowed to Tie Zha neatly.

“On behalf of the Temple, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to you.” The middle-aged Knight Templar said sincerely. Tie Zha nodded as an answer. Then the middle-aged Knight Templar said to You Ge sincerely, “Noble Miss Lombar, please allow us to join your escort. This is a great feat and also our highest honor.” After saying that, the three Knights Templar knelt down to You Ge neatly.

When Tie Zha heard these words, he felt his teeth ache when he saw these movements.

“Alright, I’ll allow you to escort me until I let you leave.” You Ge said.

After receiving You Ge’s approval, the three Templars mounted their motorcycles and waited by the side.

After refueling, Tie Zha immediately drove You Ge out of Furnace Town and embarked on the last leg of his journey.

An hour and a half later, on the highway leading to Silver City 17, three silver-white motorcycles escorted the red comet to its destination in a triangle. Iron Slag felt very uncomfortable. He was not used to having so many people following him, and these people were the ones he didn’t want to come into contact with the most.

“Little scum, what are your plans in the future?” You Ge lies on the back of the iron slag tightly and asks in his ear.

“We’ll talk about it when you get home.” Tie Zha said perfunctorily. The scene just now surfaced in his mind. The respect the three Knights Templars had for You Ge from the bottom of their hearts could no longer be called respect. Instead, it was a kind of reverence that believers had for the Utmost High! He could guess from their pious attitudes that there must be a very close relationship between You Ge and the Temple.

“Little scumbag, can I send you to school?” You Ge pleads softly while rubbing his chest against his back.

“Yes.” Tie Zha replied.

“When you were at school, big sister would often visit you and study with you, okay?” You Ge continues to tempt him.

“Alright.” The iron slag replied seriously.

‘”Yoho ~” With the iron slag’s definite answer, You Ge cries out happily.

At this moment, the noise of engines suddenly came from the sky. Tie Zha looked up and saw a six-propeller airship flying over. The bottom of the airship was painted with a very conspicuous purple thorn flower.

“Little scum, look! That’s the symbol of our family!” You Ge excitedly shook Iron Slag’s shoulder.

“I saw it, the purple thorn flower.”

“Big brother must be here!” As he spoke, You Ge took out his pistol and fired into the sky. Seeing this, the three Templars also took out their pistols and fired at the sky. The continuous gunfire attracted the attention of the airship above. Seconds later, the airship flew back and circled above them for a while.

You Ge keeps waving at the airship. After a while, the sound of gunfire rang out from the airship.

“It’s big brother!” You Ge shouts excitedly. It had been many days since she left that warm home. During this period of time, she had suffered many grievances and experienced many thrilling dangers. She couldn’t wait to tell her closest relatives about her fortuitous encounters these past few days.

A few minutes later, the airship slowly descended. Under the guidance of the middle-aged Templar Knights, the iron slag drove out of the road and waited for the airship to land on an open space.

At this time, the airship was getting closer and closer to the ground, and the six propellers blew up sand and dust.

The strong wind pressure swept across the ground, and You Ge involuntarily took a step back. As she shook, a strong hand supported her shoulder. She turned around and met the youth’s gaze. He was still like that, as always, with a faint smile on his face.

Just as You Ge was absent-minded, the gale stopped and the airship stopped firmly in the open space. Along with the dejected sound, the cabin door of the airship slowly opened and a handsome silver-haired man walked out. From afar, Tie Zha could see that this man’s appearance was somewhat similar to You Ge’s.

You Ge comes back to his senses and immediately runs towards the silver-haired man. The silver-haired man hurriedly jumped off the airship and ran towards You Ge with open arms.

Tie Zha looked at them from afar. The moment You Ge pounced into the silver-haired man’s embrace, he knew that his mission had been successfully completed. So he stepped onto the red comet, tightened the throttle, and roared away amidst the roar of the engine.

The cold wind whistled in his ears, and he forcefully pressed the red button!

[Red Comet, ejection mode activated, currently charged at 99%]

With the sound of the mechanical synthesis, the six airbags of the red comet activated simultaneously, spitting out a powerful stream of air behind them. In the blink of an eye, the speed of the motorcycle soared to the extreme, transforming into a meteor that flew towards the junction of heaven and earth.

There was no need to say goodbye between him and her, because there was no need to say goodbye forever …

Ten minutes later, at a height of several hundred meters, You Ge stood in the command module of the airship and watched as the motorcycle disappeared on the horizon. She silently closed her eyes. After a while, she opened her eyes, as if she had made up her mind. Then she turned around and stared into Yuri Lombar’s eyes. She said firmly, “Brother, I’m going to the temple to cultivate.”

“Hmm? Dear sister, you’ve finally figured it out.” ‘”What made you change your mind?” Youl said with a playful smile.

“This accident made me feel the cruelty of this world. It also made me understand the lowliness and insignificance of being a weak person.” You Ge clenches her little fist and says forcefully, “I need strength!”

“But …” You Er put away his smile and said seriously, “Father doesn’t have a good impression of those crazy believers. He has always wanted you to join Notre Dame.”

You Ge doesn’t answer, she just quietly looks at You Er, and then she slowly closes her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, a blue light suddenly appeared in her eyes! You Er’s eyes were stabbed by the dazzling blue light, and he involuntarily closed them.

A dazzling light flashed and then gradually softened. His translucent eyes emitted a faint blue light, just like a sapphire.

Blue light glowed out of his eyes. This was a sign of abundant Spiritual Energy.

Immediately after, the faint blue light gradually turned purple, and the light grew brighter and brighter.

“Origin Energy points me in the right direction.”

The indifferent voice seemed to have no tone, echoing in the air for a long time …
