Last Totem Novel - Chapter 290
Chapter 290 Feud
Five hours later, by eight o’clock in the evening, Tie Zha was still unconscious. At this moment, in the underground screening hall of Twilight Manor, there was an internal discussion at the upper echelons of the Student Union. In the dim light, the six girls were staring at the screen, which showed the images of humans fighting against swarms of insects. From the looks of it, it was precisely the battlefield fragments captured by the Tyre Guard Battle’s monitors.
At this moment, of the six girls present, three were sitting on folding chairs, while the other three were standing behind the first three. The girls sitting were Mu Yu Ling Lan, You Ge, and Bi Qinglan. The girls standing were Mu Yu Qin Xin, Eva Green, and Li Bing.
In the silent viewing, a relatively still scene suddenly flashed. Countless cyan pillars of light shot over from the distant horizon. Immediately after, the scene darkened and the playback ended. In the final scene of the film, Tie Zha was still standing on the city wall. A pillar of light flashed past him two meters away, but he didn’t know it at all.
After a moment of silence, a clear voice broke the silence.
“Big sisters, Qing Lan suggests that the awards ceremony should be advanced to the festival day.” Bi Qinglan said.
“You mean …” You Ge turns to look at the former and asks hesitantly, “Valentine’s Day?”
“Mm” Bi Qinglan nodded and said, “On this special day, it’s so romantic for a beautiful girl to wear a medal for a triumphant warrior.”
‘”Ling Lan doesn’t think it’s appropriate. The silver medal represents courage and sacrifice. This is a very serious matter. Would it be disrespectful to the dead heroes to be honored on such a festival?”
“Mm” You Ge crossed his chest and lowered his head to ponder for a while. “The girls are holding flowers to welcome the triumphant warriors. This is a tradition and custom of the Western Continent since ancient times. To those heroes who have passed away, it is not disrespectful. Instead, it is a form of recognition and honor.”
“But the customs of the Central Continent and the Far East” Mu Yu Ling Lan halfway through her words, she didn’t continue. She just stared at You Ge and waited for her reply.
“My goddess, this is the Western Continent. We should do as the Romans do.” You Ge smiles and says.
“Alright.” Mu Yu Ling Lan nodded.
“Then it’s settled.” You Ge looks left and right and says.
“Big sisters, Qinglan also suggests that we should create a hero” Bi Qinglan paused and glanced at the two women before strengthening her tone. “A hero from the bottom commoner and using his deeds to inspire the commoner students in the Academy Alliance.”
“You mean Tie Zha?” Mu Yu Ling Lan frowned and said resolutely, “I don’t agree!”
“Sister Ling Lan, This is a win-win outcome, Tie Zha received the corresponding honor and status, while the commoner students at the bottom, there will be expectations and examples, “More and more academy teams are reluctant to participate in spot-on missions, mainly because most civilian students are reluctant to do so, leading to a lack of grass-roots Marines and support staff in the team …” Bi Qinglan argued reasonably. “We need to set an example for them and show them a huge cake.”
“I agree with you, but this person cannot be Tie Zha. He is not ready to become a public figure. If we do this, we will put him at the forefront of the storm. He will face unimaginable pressure from public opinion and hostility from the aristocratic class.”
“Every boy has a dream of becoming a hero in his heart. I believe our Tie Zha is no exception, and …” She looked at Mu Yu Ling Lan. “As an outstanding man, one day he will stand on the stage of the world, wield power, face pressure, fame and public opinion are always accompanied by each other. Do you expect him to be mediocre all his life? There is an old saying in our Far East, “Wake up and take over the world. Drunk on the lap of a beauty.” This is the dream of every man in this world … “She took a deep breath.” Qinglan likes him and is willing to do everything to achieve him. Is Sister Ling Lan unwilling? ”
“It’s not that Ling Lan is unwilling, but that he is not suitable …” Mu Yu Ling Lan said anxiously. “You don’t know him. He’s just a child who picks up trash and grows up. He doesn’t know anything …”
“Perhaps Qing Lan doesn’t understand him, but Qing Lan definitely won’t look down on him!” Bi Qinglan’s expression froze as he interrupted Mu Yu Ling Lan excitedly.
“You’re bloodshot!” At this moment, Mu Yuqinxin, who was standing behind Mu Yu Ling Lan, couldn’t help but shout.
“Muyu Qinxin, it’s not your turn to speak now!” As soon as she finished speaking, Li Bing, who was standing behind Bi Qinglan, turned to look at Mu Yuqinxin and shouted sternly.
In an instant, the Mu Yu sisters, Bi Qinglan, and Li Bing glared at each other angrily. The atmosphere at the scene was immediately filled with swords and crossbows pulled out, as if they could fight at any time.
“Hahaha ~” Seeing this, You Ge laughs happily and then provokes, “You guys fight quickly, I’ll give you a seat.” After she finished speaking, she jumped up and quickly took a few steps back to make a “please” gesture.
The four women looked at her at the same time and let out a cold snort. Then, they put away their hostility and calmed down to continue the discussion.
“How about …” Bi Qinglan suggested, “Let’s listen to the president’s opinion first.”
“Alright.” Mu Yu Ling Lan nodded.
“Me ~ I think so …” You Ge said in a long voice, “You guys fight first. Whoever wins will listen to me.”
Big Sister You Ge, we’re serious … Bi Qinglan said.
“My princess, do you want to reap the enmity of the Western gods and the Far East ancestors at the same time?” Mu Yu Ling Lan asked.
You Ge laughs loudly with her waist stuck in her waist. Then, she opens her hands and says, “Alright, let me tell you my point of view …”
She looked at Bi Qinglan first and said, “As our Secretary-General has said, sooner or later, our little scum will stand on the world stage and bear the corresponding pressure while gaining power. Why not give him a chance to train now?” After saying that, she turned to look at Mu Yu Ling Lan and continued, “But just as our vice president said, Little Slag is still very small, very stupid, and even a little stupid. He might not be able to withstand the pressure to become a public figure overnight, but …”
She waved her hand vigorously and said, “The wildness from the Wilderness will disappear in the dull, the sharpened sword will lose its luster in the silence. A man’s journey should be the pinnacle of the world. He is my man. I believe in him, I believe that he will be able to adapt to the new environment and grow into a towering tree, and …”
With the support of the three of us, who else in the academy would dare to make things difficult for him? A person who was recognized by the three great faiths at the same time, even the Speaker of the World Council, did not dare to make any negative remarks, let alone the nobles. “As for the little nobles, it’s their business to discuss secretly. Are we still being discussed less?”
She paused for a moment and raised her head. Her sharp gaze swept across everyone’s faces. At the same time, a trace of purple light flashed in her deep and bottomless eyes. Then, she firmly said, “Origin Energy will guide our direction.”
After You Ge finished expressing his stance, the screening hall fell into a long silence.
Finally, Mu Yu Ling Lan sighed and said faintly, “I reserve my objection …”
“Yeah ~” You Ge cries out excitedly.
“Thank you two sisters for your support.” After saying that, Bi Qinglan nodded his head in greeting, appearing docile and obedient. However, at this moment, her heart was filled with malice. On the surface, she wanted to give the warriors of Tyre Stronghold more glory, but in reality, she wanted Tie Zha to appear in public as soon as possible. The higher he climbs, the worse he falls. As a person on the ground, the more favored he was, the more jealousy and hostility he encountered would grow exponentially until he was crushed.
After the discussion, on the way back, Mu Yu Ling Lan said to Mu Yuqin Xin, “Xiaoqing, look for an opportunity to ask Tie Zha, what is his relationship with Bi Qinglan? How do I feel …” She lowered her voice and said, “The Spirit Snake Holy Lady doesn’t seem to be as hostile to him as she appears to be.”
“Alright.” Mu Yuqinxin nodded and said.
“Also” Mu Yu Ling Lan hesitated for a moment and said, “Ask Tie Zha if Bi Qinglan knows his true identity.”
“True identity? You mean …” Mu Yuqin was puzzled. “Bugs?”
“No, it’s his family.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said.
“Ah!” Mu Yuqinxin cried out involuntarily, “He still has a family!”
“Northas.” Mu Yu Ling Lan approached Mu Yu Qin Xin and whispered to her ear.
Her tiny voice was like thunder, causing Mu Yuqin’s heart to freeze. After a while, she gradually regained her senses and muttered to herself, “Then he and the princess …”
“Fate is always so cruel to him” Mu Yu Ling Lan sighed.
After a long silence, Mu Yuqinxin whispered, “Little scum is so pitiful …”
As the successors of the Rain Prayer Temple, the two sisters had access to the ancient books in the Temple. Anyone with the slightest knowledge of ancient history would know of the deep enmity between Northess and Lombar.
Thousands of years ago in the Northern Desolate Continent …
Before the Great Nuclear War, the Northern Wilderness Continent was not called this name, but the Northern Continent.
In ancient times, there were only a few primitive tribes in the northern continent. These tribes’ civilizations were generally very low, and they were still in the slash-and-burn period. The tribes were also very small and scattered in the northern plains, central plains and southern plains of the continent.
At that time, there were three groups of people who moved to the northern continent. The first to land in the Northern Wilderness were the three great clans that had left the snowy ice plains and the Ficris mountains and crossed the Black Sea under the leadership of the Ancient Temple Monks. They were the White Wolf Clan that tamed the Ice Plains Snow Wolves, the Hawkeye Clan that tamed the Dead Sea Vultures, and the Snowmountain Clan that tamed the Ancient Era’s Mammoths. In the history books, they are collectively referred to as “Northern survivors”.
Northess was one of the twelve great clans from the White Wolf Clan.
After arriving in the Northern Wilderness, the northern descendants came to the flattest central plains of the northern continent and absorbed the local small tribes, developing into the later glorious temple religion.
The second group were missionaries from the central continent. They spread the glory of the gods in the southern plains, integrating the small tribes and establishing the faith of Notre Dame.
The third group came from the Lombardi Clan of the Western Continent. They brought heavy infantry with iron armor and spears, heavy crossbow warriors carrying huge siege crossbows, heavy cavalry with tall horses, and large numbers of farmers across the ocean to drive nomads from the northern plains to the central plains to establish their own cities.
The northern descendants took in these nomadic people, allowing them to gradually integrate into their own culture.
Since then, the northern continent has been divided into three large parts. In the following thousand years, although the three groups of people were constantly rubbing against each other, they gradually developed and formed their own civilizations.
The small tribal alliance that believed in the glory of the gods in the southern plains, the Northern survivors of the glorious temples in the central plains, and the Lombardi forces that later left Notre Dame and converted to the Temple.
This distribution of power continued until the outbreak of a nuclear war in the world. Under the nuclear attack, humans hid in underground shelters, the southern plains were destroyed, and the originally fertile central plains were gradually reduced to a wasteland. Under the attack of nuclear dust, the whole world became lifeless and deathly silent.
Hundreds of years later, the nuclear winter finally came to an end. The brave survivors of the north took the lead and walked out of the underground shelter. They began to transform the wastelands and grow crops. Under the influence of residual radiation, some of the northern survivors transformed into insecticides.
Since the northern plains were the farthest from the nuclear theatre, they recovered the fastest. Thanks to the efforts of the survivors of the north for two centuries, the northern plains regained its pre-nuclear vitality. The people who transformed the northern plains were the Northern survivors led by the Northses.
After the surface was revived, the Lombardi family led the army out of the underground shelter and demanded that the Northses family-led survivors of the north return the lands of the northern plains.
After pouring a lot of sweat and blood and sacrificing their lives to transform the northern plains, the northern survivors naturally refused to return the land. As a result, the Lombardi family recruited reinforcements from the western and central continents to wage war.
This war lasted for several years, and the situation was exceptionally tragic. The Northess Clan was on the verge of extermination, and the Lombardi Clan had lost more than half of their lives. In history, it was called the “Battle of Weeping Blood”.
Later, under the mediation of the Temple of Glory and the Temple, the survivors of the north led by Northess returned two thirds of their land, ending the brutal war.
Later, in the glorious battle 200 years ago, the Lombardi family firmly supported the decisions of the Temple and the World Council as the main force against the Temple of Glory and seized the opportunity to take back all the land.
Today, when it comes to the hatred between the Northses and Lombardi clans, it can be said to be an inch of mountains, rivers, and blood. There are bones buried everywhere in the Northern Wilderness that they fought to the death …
Interestingly, though, the Lombardi textbooks were filled with various slanders against Northas, such as evil, cunning, shameless, unreasonable, uncivilized, bark-wearing, excreting stones and leaves, sweet potatoes, farts, and sleeping snores …
However, there are two words that have not changed, and that is …
Brave, unyielding!
