Last Totem Novel - Chapter 300

Chapter 300 Trample

It was 8:30 a.m., and with twenty-one trombones, the Valentine’s Day Ball of Dr3713 officially began.

Mu Yu Ling Lan, the owner of Qingyu Manor, walked out of the corridor on the second floor in a brand new Notre Dame priestess robe and a silver cross. She came to the platform where the two stairs met and announced the formal start of the dance tonight. Afterwards, Yoga Lombar, dressed in a blood-red cloak and a Knight Templar armor, and Bi Qinglan, dressed in bright red golden dragon and phoenix embroidered cheongsam, walked down the platforms from both sides of the stairs to welcome the guests present.

During this time, Tie Zha had been hiding in a corner, watching from afar. However, he was soon discovered by the guests and they all went forward to congratulate him.

Although the vast majority of the people present had never heard of this wilderness knight, nor were they clear about his background, at today’s ceremony, the representatives of the three great faiths had actually conferred him the title at the same time. This meant that no matter what his past was, whether it was an ant or a criminal, it was no longer important. The glory in front of him was enough for him to step onto the world stage and experience the scenery of the high places.

Shortly after the dance, a black limousine quietly drove into the deep manor and stopped on the porch. When the car stopped, the waiter went forward to salute and help the people in the car open the door. An old butler got out of the car first, followed by a handsome young man.

After getting out of the car, the old butler tidied up the collar of the young man and whispered, “Third Young Master, before coming here, the young master repeatedly warned you not to provoke the third young miss of the Lombar family. Do you remember?”

“I know that. I’ve never provoked her before, let alone now.” Bryan, the third young master of the Reinhart family, said.

The old butler nodded and continued, but he was quickly interrupted by Ling Lan. “The eldest young master also told you not to provoke Mu Yu, Bi Qinglan, and Bryan …”

“I know, I know. It’s really long-winded.” Bryan said impatiently, but the old butler remained unmoved and continued to warn him.

“Eldest Young Master said that Mu Yu Ling Lan, who came from the bottom, was meticulous and ruthless at the same time. As for Bi Qinglan, she had the title of a poisonous viper in the Far East. She was a decisive and ruthless woman. If she clashed with them, it was very likely that you would suffer the loss.”

“Alright, alright, I won’t provoke them.” Bryan frowned and said.

“Also, Young Master wants you to try your best to avoid conflicts with others. Ever since the laboratory incident three years ago, the people of the New Moon Alliance have been staring at us. Although they don’t have enough evidence, there are already many nobles who have doubts about us. Therefore, we need to keep a low profile as far as possible until the previous incident fades out of people’s sight.”

“Are those people from the New Moon Alliance crazy? They’ve been staring at our house and biting. Do they think that the western lions are easy to bully?” Bryan said indignantly.

The old butler stopped and said, “Young Master said that no matter how ferocious the lion is, he is afraid that there will be too many ants. Furthermore, it has been several generations since we left the Saint realm. If it wasn’t for this, Young Master wouldn’t have taken the risk of investigating the forbidden area.” After saying that, the old butler sighed and waved his hand. “Forget it, don’t say it anymore. Just be careful and don’t cause trouble as much as possible.”

“Yes, I understand.” Bryan nodded, then straightened his chest and walked out of the hall.

Looking at Third Young Master’s back, the old butler sighed again. Actually, he still hadn’t said a word, but today was a happy festival. He didn’t want to ruin the little master’s mood. Even though the Reinhart Clan was one of the eleven nobles in the world and had Silver City number five, they had already fallen to the bottom, and they could face the danger of reshuffling their cards at any time. Of course, this shuffling process will be very lengthy, at least across generations. After all, the great nobles of Silver City World were the cornerstones of the upper structure, and there was a certain bloodline relationship between the great nobles, and they were deeply entangled with each other. Even skinny camels were much bigger than horses. It would not be so easy for a newly rising clan to take its place.

According to past history, every change of great nobles meant a large-scale war. In this war, the new nobles fought endlessly for the vacant throne, while the old nobles secretly supported one side in order to gain the support of the higher-ups in the future. Therefore, this war was bound to be protracted and massive, so the veteran nobles would not want to see the change of power until they had no other choice. However, if a dark horse appeared in this war, he would be able to advance to the throne with absolute superiority. Then it will be over soon. However, over the past thousand years, there were few clans that had risen like dark horses.

After entering the hall, as a noble of Silver City, Bryan was warmly welcomed. The nobles all stepped forward and greeted him deeply. Many young girls among them also cast burning gazes at him.

“Hello, Lord Bryan. My name is Benjamin Rado. I’m from Silver City 33 in the Central Continent. Nice to meet you tonight.” During the conversation, a young man with brown hair and blue eyes walked forward, nodded slightly, and greeted Bryan.

“Hello, Mr. Benjamin.” Bryan raised his glass and signaled.

“I’ve always heard that the Third Young Master of the Reinhart Clan has both civil and martial skills and graceful demeanor. From what I see today, he is indeed more than anything else.” Benjamin praised.

“Friend, I’m flattering you.” Bryan smiled and said.

“Please forgive me for speaking frankly. I think you should be the main character tonight. It’s a pity that you’re a few minutes late. Otherwise, this title will definitely belong to you.” Benjamin said with a smile.

“Oh? Which lucky man got the title? I would like to congratulate him.” Bryan asked humbly.

“Lord, I don’t want to congratulate that kind of person …” Benjamin leaned forward, glanced at the corner of Tie Zha, and said in a low voice, “He’s a lowly man on the ground. I’m ashamed to be with him in the hall.”

Bryan smiled and said, “Mr. Benjamin, there will occasionally be one or two warriors among the humans living on the ground. I think we should face them with a calm heart and give them the opportunity to make more contributions to the society. With their efforts, our life will be better, won’t we?”

After hearing Bryan’s words, Benjamin lowered his head and pondered for a while. Then, he raised his head and said with some enlightenment, “You’re right. Only by being friendly to cattle can there be a good harvest. It’s my narrow-mindedness.” Benjamin nodded solemnly and said, “I am very sorry to make Lord Lord laugh at this.”

“Don’t worry, I thought the same thing a few years ago as you do now.” After saying that, Bryan raised his glass to Benjamin. After the two took a sip of wine, Bryan smiled and turned to the corner where Tie Zha was.

Halfway through the walk, a beautiful figure appeared in Bryan’s eyes. It was precisely him who was thinking of the Dreamer. He immediately quickened his pace and walked over.

“Miss Qin Xin, I didn’t expect to see you here.” Bryan stood in front of Mu Yuqin and bowed slightly. At this moment, his eyes were only filled with the vigor and vitality of this beautiful girl, and the two women and one man beside her were treated as air by him, so much so that when he went forward to greet her, he did not notice that Mu Yuqinxin was talking to a young man.

Facing the sudden interruption, Tie Zha frowned imperceptibly, but did not say anything.

Mu Yuqin nodded slightly in greeting. She did not remember the man’s name, nor did she even remember whether they had met or not.

“Miss Qin Xin, your speech at the Academy Conference last year was very wonderful and left a deep impression on me. Your words and deeds are still vivid in my mind, and I have always remembered them.” Bryan flattered.

“Oh” Mu Yuqin said casually. She remembered that at last year’s college meeting, she only said one sentence: “Thank you for your support. Please take care of it in the future.”

Hearing Blair’s flattering compliments, Tie Zha could only feel his chicken skin stand up, his entire body uncomfortable.

“Miss Qinxin, on this special festival, will I have the privilege of dancing with you?” After saying that, Bryan extended his hand to Muyu Qinxin and bowed to the standard noble.

“I…” Just as she was about to refuse, Mu Yuqinxin remembered that she was wearing a tuxedo and refusing an invitation from a Silver City noble was a disgraceful thing for both parties. Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned to look at Tie Zha, her gaze filled with inquiries and requests for help.

“My friend, I’m sorry, she can’t dance.” Tie Zha took a step forward and stood between the two of them.

“Who are you?” Bryan raised his head and found that it was a stranger. He frowned and asked unhappily.

“Tie Zha, from the Northern Wilderness Continent’s Ground Town.” Tie Zha replied calmly.

“So you’re that person on the ground?” Bryan asked. He turned around and looked at the young man. He didn’t find anything special about him.

“Yes.” Said Tie Zha.

“Hello, I’m Brian Reinhart.” Bryan said. In his opinion, as long as he gave his first name and surname, the other party would retreat in the face of difficulties and not disturb him again.

“Hello.” Tie Zha replied without any intention of moving aside.

Seeing this, Bryan frowned even deeper. “Do you know who is standing in front of you, man on the ground?” He asked in a deep voice.

“Sir Guild Leader, this is Lord Bryan, the third in line to succeed the Lion City Reinhart Clan.” Mu Qianhe sensed the change in the atmosphere and hurriedly stepped forward to make amends. “Lord, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Bryan was a celebrity at the academy and only worked in the bottomless abyss last July. From Mu Qianhe’s point of view, the other party was a great noble of Silver City, not someone the Guild Leader could offend. Even if the Guild Leader had the favor of the princess, it would still be difficult to contend against it If he offended them deeply, there would be endless troubles in the future. More importantly, since ancient times, the great nobles had always protected each other. No matter how much You Ge tried to protect them, it was impossible for him to break the rules and tear apart the faces of a man on the ground and the great nobles of Lion City.

Tie Zha’s heart trembled when he heard the other party’s identity. He knew that the reason why Mu Qianhe interrupted was to remind him that the person in front of him was not someone he could offend.

“Lord Bryan, I’m sorry …” Tie Zha nodded and said, “Please forgive me if I neglected you just now.”

Seeing Tie Zha salute, Muyu Qinxin’s eyebrows knitted. She stepped forward and said, “I’m sorry, Lord Bryan, I don’t know how to dance.”

“But …” Bryan looked at Muyu Qinxin’s attire and hesitated. “You’re wearing a tuxedo …” With that, he looked around and whispered, “Miss Qinxin, I don’t mean to offend you, but look, everyone is looking at us …”

Mu Yuqinxin raised her eyes and saw that many guests were looking over with curious gazes. If she refused at this moment, it would be a very embarrassing matter for both of them.

At this moment, Mu Qianhe raised his skirt with both hands and slightly bent his knees. He nodded and said, “Lord Bryan, Miss Qinxin is not feeling well tonight. Is Qianhe honored to dance with the noble lion instead of her?” The reason why she took the initiative to invite the dance was because she didn’t want Tie Zha to offend this great noble of Silver City. Moreover, she could tell that Tie Zha loved Muyu Qinxin more than any other girl. She had no choice but to sacrifice herself in order to ease the atmosphere and remove the awkwardness.

However, her kindness did not receive any polite response.

“Do you know your identity?” Bryan frowned and said bluntly, “Please step aside! You don’t have the qualifications to be compared to Miss Zither Heart.”

Tie Zha’s pupils constricted when he heard this. Just as he was about to explode, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from his side.

“Ah ~ Isn’t this Young Master Bryan?” Eva Green walked over and nodded in greeting.

“Good evening, beautiful Miss Green.” Bryan replied. Eva Green was Yoga Lombar’s confidant and also known as the Temple Rose. Even if he was the Third Young Master of the Reinhart family, he could not be neglected easily.

“Come on ~ Dance with me ~” Eva said casually.

“Yes, my lady.” Bryan said with a smile as he stretched his brows. Although this was not his original intention, there was at least one step down. To say the least, Eva was not only a beauty, but also had a corresponding status. Being able to have a first-grade fragrance was also a pleasant and comfortable thing to do.

However, just as the two of them turned around and walked towards the dance floor, Tie Zha spoke.

“Come back.” The voice was not loud, but it was filled with an unquestionable meaning. Eva’s entire body trembled and she could no longer move.

“What’s the matter?” Blair stopped and asked.

Eva hesitated for a moment and said politely, “I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. Please go ahead.”

Seeing this, Bryan frowned and looked at Tie Zha. He had heard those words just now, but he never thought that these two rough words would make Eva Green change her mind.

“Man on the ground, why are you interfering in my affairs? Do you know who you are facing?” Bryan walked back and asked while staring into the eyes of the iron slag. At this moment, Mu Yuqin hugged Tie Zha’s arm in front of her heart, then raised her head and looked at Bryan expressionlessly, as if she was a little woman supporting her lover.

In an instant, Bryan felt a surge of hot blood rushing over his head. A fierce jealousy burned his internal organs, almost causing him to go crazy on the spot. In the end, his rationality was fading away, and rage gradually occupied his heart.

A few seconds later, in a deathly silence, Bryan suddenly laughed. It wasn’t loud, but it was enough to attract the attention of the surrounding guests.

After a while, he put away his smile and looked around the hall coldly. After attracting enough attention, he pointed at Tie Zha and shouted, “This ground person is the bravest ground person I’ve ever seen.”

“He is courageous and fearless. He is truly admirable.”

“But …” Bryan said in a long voice, “I have seen many people who are so proud of themselves in my life. They have made small achievements, and they are complacent and arrogant.”

“Can anyone tell me what kind of glory an ant on the ground has obtained to make him forget his humble identity and dare to challenge a lion?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the large hall was completely silent. In just an instant, Bryan and Tie Zha became the focus of everyone present.

Immediately after, Tie Zha strode forward and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Bryan. At the same time, his body bent slightly and his muscles tensed up like a beast with hair standing upright and hibernating on the ground.

“You’re courting death!” Bryan’s face was fierce as he squeezed out two words between his teeth. With his strength and identity, killing this person was like crushing an ant. He secretly gathered his psionic energy and prepared to kill the opponent in one blow. He believed that if there was a conflict between the two of them, the nobles present would definitely help him, and the people from Notre Dame, the organizer of the ball, would also help him. No matter what, he was the pinnacle of power in the world, the great nobles of Silver City, and the target of all forces. Next, even if the opponent could withstand his psionic attack, he would not be able to withstand the siege of the crowd. At that time, this lowly ground person would pay the price of his life to see his identity clearly.

However, just as Bryan’s eyes lit up with a blue light and he was about to release his psionic energy, a clear voice suddenly broke through the air and rushed over.

“I can tell you!”

The crisp and bright voice was like the buzzing sound of a long sword being unsheathed. The echoes of the golden jade strikes pierced through everyone’s hearts and souls.

“Or I’ll tell you.”

Immediately after, a second voice rang out. It was as calm as water and as calm as a mountain. However, it contained a vast amount of anger, like a volcano that was filled with lava and silent.

“Looks like I can only add ~”

The third voice was filled with ecstasy, but the blurry tone was filled with cold killing intent. It was like a fine needle hidden in cotton wool. It made one’s heart tremble with fear. His hands and feet were cold, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake.

Before everyone could react, the three women walked out and stood behind Tie Zha. Throughout the entire process, Bryan’s eyes widened, and he had an expression of complete disbelief. The scene in front of him seemed like a dream, as if nothing was real.

You Ge says indifferently, “I’ll give you two choices.”

“Apologize to him” Mu Yu Ling Lan continued.

“Or duel with him.” Bi Qinglan finished her last sentence.

Hearing the three women’s words, Bryan instantly woke up. At this moment, he finally remembered that Benjamin Rado, who was talking to him, was a member of the Princess Guard.

From the moment he stepped into the hall, he had fallen into the trap they had set for him, with the ultimate aim of using his body, Bryan Reinhart, the third in line to succeed Lion City, as a stepping stone for the young man in front of him.

They seemed to have given him two choices, but there was actually only one.

Duel?

The other party had come prepared, and the one who had lost was definitely him. Their ability to do so meant that his opponent would kill him without hesitation in the duel and would not care about the Reinhart family’s revenge. It was only at this moment that he remembered his eldest brother’s instructions, but it was already too late. He could only console himself. What could he do if three people who could not be provoked plotted against him at the same time?

After thinking through all the questions, Bryan, who admitted defeat, bowed deeply to Tie Zha and said solemnly, “Dear Mr. Tie Zha, I offer you my deepest apologies for the rudeness just now …” He bowed again and said, “I beg your forgiveness.”

After the other party nodded, he turned around and left the dance hall without turning back.

Perhaps, tomorrow’s newspapers will bring up this “trivial” matter for people to enjoy after their leisure time. And this young man would step on his head and become the hero of the entire Silver City world.

There was an idiom in the Far East, “Kill chickens and horrible monkeys.” In the west, there was an honor, “Dragon Slaying Warrior.”

(Volume 10, End)

My dear readers, last time I was depressed, I’m sorry, I complained to you.

During this period of time, everyone comforted and supported me, making me feel much better and warmer in my heart. Although we have never met before, we really have quite a few friends who are close to each other with books. Back then, when he started writing, he only wanted to write something he wanted to write, but he didn’t think too much about it. By the time he finished writing the second book, he felt that he had more friends and his brushwork had improved. However, after writing for a long time, he found that his thoughts were somewhat different from before. Every time he saw the weak data, he felt his blood freeze and his inspiration disappear …

It seemed that life was still inseparable from wood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.

After experiencing great ups and downs in my mood, I felt that I had regained my original enthusiasm. Now I write not only for myself, but also to support my friends!

Suddenly, it was as if I heard the horn of the deep sea blow again. As the captain, I blew my whistle.

Friends, sail!

Next stop, the Endless Sea.

Then …
