Last Totem Novel - Chapter 323
Chapter 323 Conditions
On the second day after the Rain Prayer Sacrifice was buried, Brandon Peter came to pay a visit. In addition to mourning the sacrifices of previous generations, he also made some suggestions to the Acting Sacrifice Mu Yu Ling Lan in private.
“If you want the support of the Peter family, please leave the sword in the custody of Council 13. We will make the most of it, hand it over to the strongest warrior among us and use its power to protect our homeland.”
“Respected elder, I will remember your suggestion. I will seriously consider it.” Mu Yu Ling Lan nodded slightly and said.
“That’s good … That’s good …” Brandon nodded. Then, he smiled kindly and said earnestly, “Little girl, I watched you grow up. When you were young, I took you to the amusement park. Do you remember?”
Mu Yu Ling Lan smiled and replied, “Grandpa Brandon, Little Yu has never forgotten that you let me sit on your shoulder that day.”
Hearing Mu Yu Ling Lan’s obedient voice, Brandeng chuckled. He raised his hand to touch his beard and said, “You were very outstanding and sensible since you were young. You are the pride of our No. 13 Silver City.” Then, he changed the subject and said, “Oh … yes, if your sister wants to return to the mortal world, please consider my second great-grandson. He is currently in the 11th garrison of the Dark Jungle and holds the rank of senior colonel. If they can be together, I believe their future will be very happy.” He paused and continued, “Let us imagine that you are the next generation’s Rain Prayer and that your sister is one of the future successors of the Peter family. There is a strong bond between the First Family and the Rain Prayer Temple. Do you think there will be any forces in this land that can contend against us then?”
Mu Yu Ling Lan thought for a while and said, “Alright, I will convey your feelings to Qin Xin later.”
“Then …” Brandon stood up and stroked his beard. “I’ll be waiting for the good news at home.”
Shortly after Brendan Peter left, Colin Burns came to the door again, bragging threatening words in the parlour.
“Little girl, as long as the old man is still alive, you won’t be able to enter the Master Rain Prayer Temple.” Colin said hatefully.
“Elder, please calm down” Mu Yu Ling Lan nodded slightly and said apologetically, “Little Yu is young and inexperienced. If you did something wrong in the past, please forgive me. Little Yu is willing to be punished.”
Colin snorted and said, “If you really are sincere, go to the hospital and talk to my great-great-grandson.”
“Alright, after the wake, Ling Lan will definitely come and apologize.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said piously.
“He’s already crippled. What’s the use of apologizing?” Colin frowned and asked in a deep voice.
“Then what do you think Ling Lan should do?” Mu Yu Ling Lan asked.
“Marry him and take care of him for the rest of your life.” Colin replied without hesitation.
“But …” Mu Yu Ling Lan revealed an embarrassed expression and said, “If Ling Lan takes over the Rain Prayer Sacrifice, he will serve the Rain God for the rest of his life. He can’t …”
“Don’t try to trick me with your tricks!” Colin interrupted her roughly, “Am I not aware of the tricks inside Notre Dame after living for so many years?”
“This” Mu Yu Ling Lan hesitated, looking a little embarrassed.
“How about this” After a long silence, Colin sighed and waved his hand. “Forget it, don’t say that we old men bullied the younger generation. As long as you can give birth to a descendant for him, we’ll be even.”
‘”Ah” Mu Yu Ling Lan’s face immediately turned red and she was speechless for a long time.
“What? Are you unwilling? Are you still not interested in our Burns family?”
“No” Mu Yu Ling Lan hurriedly denied.
Colin snorted coldly and continued, “We have passed down dozens of generations. We have produced three Saint Ranks before and after. Don’t tell me we’re not worthy of you?”
In an instant, Mu Yu Ling Lan’s beautiful face was uncertain. After hesitating for a while, she seemed to have accepted this fate. She lowered her head and sighed, “Alright, I will consider it.”
“Little girl, think about it carefully. Anyway … Whether you are willing or not, it has nothing to do with me. I mean, if you don’t mind giving away your mother’s hard-earned inheritance to others.” In the end, Colin left without turning his head.
Colin Burns had just left when Morton Leylin’s hind foot arrived. When the two old men brushed past each other at the entrance of the Divine Hall, they both smiled at each other. Their comprehension and meaningful appearances made Mu Yuqin gritted her teeth as she watched the statue. She wished she could go up and chop them.
However, after seeing Mu Yu Ling Lan, Morton Layton only expressed his nostalgia for the Rain Prayer Sacrifice, and pulled her home and said a lot of nonsense. There was neither a statement nor an opinion. Until he left, he still maintained the state of “equivalent to saying nothing”.
Seeing Morton leave, Mu Yu Ling Lan couldn’t help but curse, “Old Fox.” It had to be said that although Morton was the weakest of the three Saint ranks in Silver City 13, he was also the most cunning.
As if they had made an appointment, not long after Morton left, Jiang Xiao, the head of the fourth clan of Silver City No. 13, arrived at the Divine Hall.
Jiang Xiao walked into the side hall of the mourning hall after paying tribute to the previous generation’s prayer for rain. As soon as he saw Mu Yu Ling Lan, he went straight to the point.
“The 67 people from the Jiang Clan will do their utmost to support you in entering the Rain Prayer Divine Hall and become the next generation of Rain Prayer Sacrifices.” Jiang Xiao said solemnly.
“Can you tell me the reason?” Mu Yu Ling Lan asked calmly in the face of the former’s goodwill. She had to ask why, because sometimes, inexplicable support was more terrifying than harsh conditions.
“The Jiang Clan originated from the Far East, and the Rain Prayer Sacrifice also originated from the Far East. For many years, the Jiang Clan has been able to gain a foothold thanks to the care of the Rain Prayer Sacrifice. Therefore, I will definitely support the successor designated by the Rain Prayer Sacrifice.” Jiang Xiao said.
“The reason is not sufficient.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said expressionlessly.
“A few months ago, my sixth brother Jiang Yun was killed by the Peter family. They put him to death because they were jealous of his talent …” Jiang Xiao’s eyes turned red and he couldn’t continue.
“The deceased has passed away. Please congratulate us.” After saying that, Mu Yu Ling Lan paused for a moment before continuing, “I’m sorry, but if this is your condition to support me, I can only reject it.” In the face of disputes between the clans of the parish, the Divine Hall of Prayer Rain would remain neutral as always. And in the current situation, I don’t think it’s a good time for internal strife. At present, the conflict of interest between the western and central continents is getting more and more serious. War is about to break out, and we must prepare to deal with it as soon as possible so that we can stand in an invincible position. ”
“I don’t want you to interfere in our grudges. I just don’t want to support Brandon Peter.” Jiang Xiao paused for a moment and then said, “I only have one request, but whether you agree or not, it will not affect the Jiang Clan’s support for you.”
“Please speak.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said seriously. Her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a solemn veil.
“I have a young friend named Little Yao’er. I hope she can join Notre Dame and receive your training.” Jiang Xiao said.
“Is this a request?” Mu Yu Ling Lan was puzzled. It wasn’t difficult for the young women in the parish to join Notre Dame.
“No, this is a request, because …” Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, “She is a spirit insect messenger.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yu Ling Lan narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought. The so-called psionic insect messenger was a compound evolver of psionic energy and insect transformation, abbreviated as the “EB2 type” evolver. Although Notre Dame had always maintained a neutral attitude towards insecticides, there was a certain risk in receiving insecticides in the Temple of Rain Prayer. If the matter were to be exposed, it would definitely arouse protests from the Temple and affect her reputation in the organization.
However, after some consideration, Mu Yu Ling Lan finally agreed. Before that, she had considered the issue for Tie Zha. Although it would cause her some trouble, the upper echelons of Notre Dame would usually turn a blind eye as long as they did not reveal it to the public. As for the Temple, with You Ge’s support, she shouldn’t be able to stir up any waves.
“Thank you!” Jiang Xiao thanked him with a pleasantly surprised expression. Originally, he didn’t have much hope, but what he didn’t expect was that Mu Yu Ling Lan would agree so easily.
After Jiang Xiao left, Mu Yu Ling Lan came to the library behind the temple alone and sat in her usual seat. She fell into deep thought for a long time …
Even with the support of the Jiang family, she was still a drop in the bucket for the current situation. In Silver City 13, compared to the native families of the Northern Wilderness, the influence of the Jiang family from the Far East was limited, and gaining ten percent support was already the limit. Even with their full support, the four families that weren’t involved in politics had only gained 15% or so of their support, far from meeting 65% of their needs. In the end, if she wanted to enter the Rain Prayer Temple, she still needed the support of the Peter Clan, Burns Clan, and Leylin Clan.
However, the demands of the three clans were getting more and more excessive. Although Morton hadn’t said anything, it only meant that he was still watching her bottom line. At this moment, the Divine Rain Prayer Palace and the two sisters were like a piece of fat and juicy meat in the eyes of the major powers of Silver City No. 13. Everyone felt like they were taking a bite and sharing a piece of the pie.
Hand over the Elegy of the Sky? Impossible, it was the mother’s relic, symbolizing the friendship of the Northern descendants.
Hand over your sister? Or surrender yourself …
If that person knew, what would he think? Would he hate her? Still understand what she’s going through.
Alright …
All of this was just her imagination as a little woman. She would not sacrifice anyone, because the wise goddess had already seen through everything and planned everything. She only waited for the arrival of night …
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night!
