Last Totem Novel - Chapter 237
Chapter 237 Times
Surrounded by a swarm of insects, Edward passed through a sparse forest and walked up a short slope to a few hundred meters away from the Heaven and Earth Tree. From afar, there was a huge obsidian placed beneath the tree trunk that the dozen plus people were hugging. The top of the obsidian was carved into a giant stone chair. The back of the stone chair was seven or eight meters tall. In the hazy night, the black stone that was like a knife emitted an ice-cold luster. Upon closer inspection, that ancient and simple shape resembled the throne of an ancient monarch, with an awe-inspiring aura.
As he approached, the scene in front of him gradually became clear. On the throne carved out of obsidian sat a tall human woman. Looking up, the woman’s entire body was covered in crimson carapace. Under the starlight that was like a veil, she shone with a snow-white cold light.
When they reached the throne, the weeping flies scattered and formed a circular encirclement around the throne.
Edward looked up at the woman, slowly kneeling on one knee, and then shouted, “I, Edward Sosey, send my deepest regards to the Great Crimson Queen.”
“Welcome, Baron Edward.” The woman on the throne stood up and looked down at the man who was half kneeling on the ground. She slowly said, “Get up.”
“Yes.” Edward slowly stood up, then looked down, his hands naturally hanging in front of him, looking completely humble.
“Baron, look at me.” The Crimson Queen said.
Edward then raised his head and saw that the woman above him had a dignified demeanor, a good appearance, and a head of bright red long hair. She was about thirty years old. From the bottom up, her chest was very full, and there was a trace of charm between her eyebrows, causing people to feel restless and absent-minded.
Her name was Salazar Casey. She was a Saint-ranked psionic practitioner of humanity. She was one of the twelve great angels of the Temple. She was known as the Blazing Angel. She was betrayed in the war sixty years ago. Just as he was about to die of serious injuries, he was called upon by a Crimson Hegemon. She fell into darkness and became a crimson queen, renamed Salazar Baikal Amber.
“Great Crimson Queen, your loyal followers have brought you good news.” Edward said, “Tyre Stronghold is deficient in troops. Currently, there are only six academy legions and a twelve-man psionic warrior squad stationed there. I am confident that I can take three of these academy legions with me.”
“But what good will it do me?” Salazar asked.
“As far as I know, there are 20 tons of spirit ore and 3 tons of black oil in the warehouse of the stronghold.” Edward said. However, he was not aware of the actual inventory in the warehouse. This was just a lie that he had fabricated for the sake of achieving his goal. However, the Tyre Stronghold’s warehouse did contain a lot of spirit ores and black oil. This was the resource that the previous person in charge had deliberately left behind in order to show goodwill to Yogo Lombar.
“Very good, Baron. I hope your information is accurate.” Before he could finish speaking, Salazar’s figure flashed in front of Edward. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Edward by the neck, lifting him up.
In an instant, Edward could only feel his throat about to be crushed. He blushed and was about to suffocate to death when Salazar threw him to the ground.
“Remember, you only have one chance.” She said indifferently.
“I … I am your … most loyal servant, please … please trust me.” Said Edward, half lying on the ground, panting heavily.
Three hours later …
It was 1:00 a.m. Silver City time and 8:00 p.m. Satt time. Fifteen hours after Edward left Tyre Stronghold, Tie Zha, who was tossing and turning in bed, got up and put on his clothes. He then woke Qin Ke’er and Mu Qian He from the VIP room next door and took them to the office to drink wine.
“Sir Guild Leader, you can’t sleep?” Mu Qianhe shook the dark red wine in the goblet and asked with a smile.
“Yes.” Tie Zha took a sip of wine and said. He has had so much sleep these days that he is overly energetic.
“Guild Leader, tell us your story. You …” Qin Ke’er hesitated for a moment and said, “Did you really grow up picking up garbage in the Northern Wilderness?”
After pondering for a moment, Tie Zha put down his glass and told the two women about his experiences between the ages of eight and fourteen.
Ever since Old Man Tie died, he had been making a living alone in the garbage dump of Silver City No. 13. At that time, Tie Shan Town was full of fish and dragons, gangs were everywhere, and the sheriff was mediocre and lacked courage. He hid in the office all day long with little honey. Other than collecting taxes, he basically didn’t care about anything. As a result, the dump was divided into more than 30 areas according to the location of the dump. Each area was managed by a different power. Some of them had received Old Man Tie’s help, or respected his character, allowing Tie Zha to operate in the area under their control.
There were three types of garbage in Silver City No. 13. The least valuable was domestic garbage, followed by electrical garbage, and the most valuable was mechanical garbage. At that time, Tie Zha, who was only eight years old, recognized only a portion of the valuable mechanical parts, so he stayed at two mechanical garbage disposal sites all year round.
Qin Ke’er sighed and said, “How amazing! Guild Leader has lived on his own since he was eight years old ~ When Ke’er was eight years old, she didn’t know what she was doing ~”
“Eight years old. At that time, we should be in the third grade. We should know multiplication.” Mu Qianhe said.
“By the way, Guild Leader didn’t go to primary school. Do you know how to multiply?” Qin Ke’er asked innocently.
Tie Zha’s veins popped out and he said in a deep voice, “Of course …” Then, he added, “I taught myself.” Back then, many old books could be found in the garbage dumps of Silver City, including many textbooks for primary, junior high, and senior high schools. He and Old Niu taught themselves by relying on these textbooks. Of course, because he didn’t have a teacher to supervise him, he didn’t know how to write …
Qin Ke’er muttered to herself, “So clever! You can understand it by studying on your own!”
“When I was eight years old, I learned to lose my handkerchief by myself. It took me a few days ~” Mu Qianhe said thoughtfully.
Next, Tie Zha talked about how he knew Old Niu, and how they managed to survive between gangs and gangs …
Unknowingly, the two bottles of sea demons had been drunk, and Tie Zha’s story was nearing its end. After the age of fourteen, there was nothing to say. Under Lena’s protection, his childhood was very comfortable. He had a stable income, as well as extra money from the garbage dump. Occasionally, he could work as an escort caravan, collect sand worm eggs, and hunt down wanted criminals. Moreover, he had a beautiful girl to bully at any time. Although that beautiful girl was a bit overbearing, he had to admit that bullying her was quite good …
However, after saying that, not only did Tie Zha not feel sleepy, he was even more energetic. But at this time, the two women were a little sleepy. They lay lazily on the sofa, speechless with rage.
“Qianhe has a good way to solve the problem of the Guild Leader’s insomnia ~” Mu Qianhe said with a faint smile and a blurry gaze.
“Huh?” Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and asked.
“If you are tired, you can fall asleep ~” she said.
“But I’m not tired. Could it be that I’m running around here?” As he spoke, Tie Zha looked around. This office has more than 300 square meters of space. It really can run.
“How boring is running ~” “Then do push-ups?” “It’s so boring to do push-ups ~” “Why don’t you sit up?” “It’s so boring to do sit-ups ~”
“So what?” Tie Zha spread out his hands and said helplessly.
Mu Qianhe put down his wine glass and looked at him seriously. His lips gently opened and he spat out two words, “Cheers!”
“Huh?”
“Dry–I–” Mu Qianhe bit his rosy lips and said word by word. Qin Ke’er, who was lying beside her, instantly blushed. Then, she silently looked at the wine glass in her hand. Her gaze landed on the white stone floor that was as clean as a mirror through the red wine juice.
He had already said this, and coupled with the fact that he had been repeatedly tempted by them these past few days, the evil fire immediately burst into flames …
So, the story of a wild wolf and two sisters played out again …
A moment later, a sparkling teardrop fell from the corner of Qin Ke’er’s eyes, announcing the end of an old era and the beginning of a new era …
Last night, his brain hurt and he couldn’t sleep. Recently, his condition has been a little bad. He might need to rest for a few days …
