Last Totem Novel - Chapter 308

Chapter 308 Clouds
In the end, Tie Zha reluctantly acceded to Hillman Hiroth’s request, under the soft grind of Hillman Hiroth. Although Tier 2 Psionic Adepts had limited combat power, they were still able to wear the first generation Psionic Power Armor, which was much stronger than ordinary Marines. Not to mention what role it could play, at least self-protection was no problem. Then, Tie Zha used his communicator to call in an attendant and told him to wait for Hillman to pack his bags before sending him to Sparrow Hawk Three to stand by.

After arranging things, Tie Zha went down the short mountain alone and walked towards the central street of Sand City.

About half an hour later, Tie Zha arrived in front of a 50-60 storey, all-glass building. Looking around, this building was exceptionally large, occupying a full one-third of the block. Judging from the sign in front of the building, this was the headquarters of the Great Wall Company. The reason he came here was to find Qin Feng and ask him to arrange for Ye Xinling’s father’s job. That night, he overheard the conversation between Ye Xinyun and Mother Ye on the rooftop and learned about the predicament their family was facing.

Tie Zha stood in front of the building and dialed Qin Feng’s voice. A moment later, the latter trotted out of the building and arrived in front of the former.

“Lord Tie Zha, please go in and have a seat.” Qin Feng invited.

Tie Zha shook his head and said that he was about to leave. He came here because he wanted to ask him something. If Qin Feng asks anything, he will definitely do his best. Tie Zha didn’t say anything and directly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to him. Qin Feng then opened the note and took a closer look, only to see that there was a name with the surname Ye written on it, twisted and crooked.

“This is” Qin Feng raised his head and looked at Tie Zha hesitantly.

“The father of a friend of mine may have twisted his waist a while ago. He can’t do heavy work. You can arrange a job for him as a doorman.” Said Tie Zha.

“Alright.” Qin Feng nodded solemnly. Afterwards, the two of them chatted for a while about the use of the Mechanical Power Armor and separated.

An hour later …

Tie Zha returned to the vicinity of the south gate of Sand City and was about to leave when he saw a familiar figure standing beside the gate.

“Brother Tie, please tell me if my sister has already …” After saying this, he suddenly raised his head and looked up into the sky. After a while, he whispered, “Not anymore …”

Tie Zha’s eyes narrowed as he stared coldly at the youth.

“I just want to hear the truth.” The youth stubbornly pleaded.

After a moment of silence, Tie Zha slowly nodded.

In an instant, the teenager in front of him almost stood unsteadily. He saw that hot tears flowing out of his eyes uncontrollably.

“You’re so powerful, why didn’t you protect her? Why!” Ye Xinyun’s eyes were scarlet red as she roared with tears in her heart.

Facing the youth’s reproach, Tie Zha did not say anything. He just quietly looked at the other party. Because he knew that whatever he said now was just an excuse.

Perhaps because he had a premonition, the youth soon regained his calm. After wiping away his tears, he took out a slightly yellowed letter from his white school uniform and handed it to Tie Zha.

Tie Zha took the letter and did not open it immediately. Instead, he looked at Ye Xinyun doubtfully. The latter explained, “This letter was sent home by sister three years ago. Please take a look.”

Tie Zha nodded and pulled out the letter. Opening the yellowed paper, rows of delicate handwriting instantly appeared in front of him …

“Dear brother:

I haven’t seen you for months. I wonder if you’ve grown taller.

Father, mother, how are they?

Xin Ling is doing very well now, so please don’t worry about her. I will go back to see them when the time is right.

Also, dear little brother, big sister wants to tell you a little secret. While sharing it with you, please keep it a secret.

I fell in love with a little fellow, a little fellow who would become a big shot in the future. At this moment, he was like a fledgling eagle. I want to accompany him and become one of his feathers. As he spread his wings and soared into the nine heavens, he enjoyed the scenery on the clouds.

How beautiful would that be …

Although I know that I am just an ordinary woman, perhaps I will become a burden to him, perhaps I will die on the journey. Like an eagle that soared into the sky, it would always be accompanied by a few falling feathers.

However, if that day comes, I will not regret my decision. I believe that if I die for him, he will take care of my family for me. Perhaps at that time, his words and a single glance would be equivalent to my lifetime of hard work.

So, my dear brother, please forgive my sister for her willfulness and selfishness, and leave you to pursue this unattainable dream.

Please forgive me for giving him all the love I have left in my life … ”

After reading the letter, Tie Zha fell into a long silence. Everything that he had forgotten once again surged into his heart. He couldn’t help but think of that winter, when they were soaking in hot water buckets burning firewood, watching the falling snowflakes, and they were burrowing in their warm nests, whispering in whispers and whispering in each other’s ears and temples. Her clever smile and gentle fingers made it hard to forget. Perhaps, in the eyes of most people, she was just a weed that could be seen everywhere in the wilderness, but to him, she was the only weed in the world, an irreplaceable existence.

“Please let me follow you. I will take my sister’s place to see the scenery on the clouds.” Ye Xin Yun pleaded to Tie Zha with tears flowing down her cheeks.

“You’re gone. What about your parents?” Tie Zha asked. He was completely naked, but Ye Xin Yun was different. He still had a family, as well as his parents.

Just as Tie Zha thought, Ye Xinyun fell silent. After a long time, Ye Xin Yun raised her head and loudly said, “Teach me how to become stronger. One day, I will become as strong as you and stand on the clouds!”

Tie Zha stared at him for a while, then turned around and walked towards the city, saying, “Follow me.”

Afterwards, Tie Zha brought Ye Xinyun through the factory area where the whistle sounded. He walked through the noisy central street and went into the alley for a while before arriving at Master Niu’s second-hand gun shop.

“Teach him some skills.” Said Tie Zha.

“Alright.” The old man who was cleaning the parts raised his head and casually glanced at the youth before agreeing. The people of Tieshan Town were always so simple, direct, and easy to say. A casual promise was a lifetime, a lifetime.

“I’m leaving. Take care.” With that, Tie Zha turned around and left without stopping.

“Iron brat, have a good trip.” After a while, the old man put down the parts in his hand and looked out of the door. He looked at the figure gradually disappearing into the distance and muttered to himself.

More than an hour later, in the wilderness outside the southern gate of Sand City, in the evening sun, a small aircraft slowly lifted into the sky and flew towards the distant horizon …

After nightfall, a bright moon rose from the sand sea and gradually hung in the sky.

The vast sea of sand was as calm and deep as ever. Occasionally, a gentle breeze blew past and gently pushed the fine sand towards the bottom of the dune. Under the starlight, a fish that was emitting silver light was swimming in the clouds. It was Sparrow Eagle 3.

At this moment, in the cabin of the aircraft, Tie Zha and Hillman were drinking brandy. The former did not say much, but the latter did. They were like a long-tongued old woman, chattering endlessly.

“Brother-in-law, you’re doing well. You already have your own private flying machine.” Uncle said. Ever since he boarded Sparrow Eagle 3, he had quietly upgraded Tie Zha from “Little Sister’s boyfriend” to “Brother-in-law”. He was like a family now.

“I borrowed it.” Tie Zha said truthfully.

“It’s not bad to be able to borrow such a good flying machine.” Hillman said that this aircraft was a “bird-type” aircraft made by Harley Heavy Industries. It was extremely fast, and only the direct subordinate forces of the nobles usually had a configuration. Even the Dawn Expeditionary Force only had a portion of the configuration. Then, he said, ‘”I heard that the beauties of the Central Silver City Military Academy are like clouds. What are the top ten beauties of Egret Lake, the six beauties of Garden Street, and the three goddesses of Cold Lake? I heard that they are all young and beautiful. They are all rare beauties in the world. The three goddesses of Cold Lake are even more astonishing …” Hillman’s eyes lit up as he described them.

“It seems” Tie Zha drank a mouthful of wine and said perfunctorily.

‘”There are so many beauties, and my sister is not by your side. Have you …” Hillman stretched out his voice and gave Tie Zha a meaningful look. The latter immediately had goosebumps all over his body. The former continued, “It’s normal for there to be a man …” Hillman revealed an expression of “I understand”, and his eyebrows carried a hint of “I will keep your secret”.

‘”No.” Tie Zha’s face was not red and his heart was not beating.

“Who are you fooling?” Hillman smiled and said in a strengthened tone, “Lord Wilderness Knight.”

Tie Zha was shocked, but there was no expression on his face. He asked casually, “How did you know?”

‘”Newspapers are sold every day, and TV news is reported every day. Do you really think that our Northern Wilderness news is closed?” Hillman cupped his glass to Tie Zha and smiled. “The biggest news in the world today is the Wilderness Knights conferred by the three great faiths at the same time. If you don’t believe me, go ask the vagrants in Sand City. I’m afraid they all know about it.”

Hearing Hillman’s words, Tie Zha’s whole body immediately turned bad. It turned out that they were all pretending to be stupid when they went to Hiroshi’s house just now, and he was the only one who was still in the dark. He could only blame it all on the strange bloodline of the Syros, who loved to put on airs and play tricks on people.

“Men, occasionally speaking lies is normal. You see, I occasionally tell lies.” Hillman said casually.

However, the quick-witted Tie Zha immediately recognized the voice and frowned. “What are you hiding?” He asked.

“Me?” Hillman pointed at himself and asked doubtfully.

“Speak.” Tie Zha ordered in a low voice.

“Actually …” “I’m a First Grade …” Hillman smiled embarrassedly and confessed.

“Very good.” Tie Zha put down his glass and stood up.

“Exaggerated.” Hillman said shamelessly.

“I suggest holding the parachute bag.” Tie Zha pointed at the other party’s seat and said.

“Why?” Hillman looked at Tie Zha with a stunned expression.

“Prepare to jump.” “Who jumped?” “You jump.” “What are you trying to do! I’m your uncle …”

“Is that so?” Tie Zha grinned and asked.

“Brother Tie, don’t. I was wrong. For Nana’s sake …” Hillman begged for mercy as he retreated.
