Last Totem Novel - Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Character

On the evening of the second day after the succession ceremony, Eugene Lombar came to the side hall of the Rain Prayer Temple and bid farewell to Muyu Ling Lan. He was the commander-in-chief of the Third Army of the Dawn Expeditionary Force, and due to his busy military affairs, he had to rush back to Silver City 21 in the central continent.

Before leaving, he expressed his longstanding admiration for Mu Yu Ling Lan. After listening to his confession, Muyu Ling Lan slightly bowed and said, “Big brother Eugene, I’m sorry, Ling Lan already has a heart and can’t accept your kindness.”

“Ah …” Eugene smiled bitterly and said somewhat dispiritedly, “Alright, I know.” Although he said that, he was still a little unwilling. He then asked, “May I take the liberty of asking which friend was so lucky to win the favor of our Goddess of Happiness?”

Mu Yu Ling Lan smiled lightly and said meaningfully, “Go back and ask your sister. She knows.”

Eugene was stunned for a moment, then he came back to his senses and realized that he had been tricked by his little sister again. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that Tie Zha again?”

Looking at Eugene’s astonished expression, the smile on Mu Yu Ling Lan’s face instantly blossomed like a delicate flower. After a while, she put away her smile and said solemnly, “It’s a secret.”

“Alright …” Eugene sighed deeply and said with resentment, “You guys are ruthless …”

After bidding farewell, Eugene boarded the aircraft and headed towards the central continent alone. The twenty-four Iron Guards would stay here until Mu Yu Ling Lan’s position was stable and he no longer needed them.

At the same time, not long after Eugene’s departure, a few nobles were whispering in the Bottomless Abyss’s Thinker Stronghold while eating breakfast in the dining hall.

“He is a robber who risked his life by killing people and stealing goods. He doesn’t have the demeanor of a noble.” Said Eudith resentfully, as if the victim was himself.

“Really? Didn’t Ernest say at this year’s awards ceremony that they were attacked by a swarm of bees and insects while carrying out their mission?” A noble asked.

Eudith looked at him contemptuously and said, “You don’t even believe this, do you? This is obviously a trick between the higher-ups, the distribution of benefits.”

“But why should the higher-ups support him?” Another noble asked.

“The reason is simple. The Academy Alliance needs a commoner hero to encourage commoner students to participate in high-risk missions.” Said Eudith.

“Mm …” “It seems … it makes sense …” “It can only be like this. Otherwise, how could a commoner like him rise so quickly?” “Sigh … I’m really lucky.” As soon as Eudith finished speaking, the nobles began to whisper.

At this time, one of the nobles pushed Eudith with his elbow and looked ahead. “Look, should we tell him about this as well? He is the most influential person in our circle.”

Eudith followed the noble’s gaze and saw a well-proportioned, well-dressed and handsome young man sitting at the dining table in front of him, eating breakfast alone. Eudith knew this man. He was the captain of the Spartan Warriors, Hilbrand Sujia. They had met several times at the gatherings of the nobles in the academy and had a simple conversation.

After that, Eudith got up and walked over. He nodded and greeted, “Baron Su Jia, long time no see.” Although he had always thought highly of himself, he still admired the young man in front of him. The opponent came from a traditional noble family, and his family could only be considered rich. However, within three years, he had formed his own guild into the strongest guild in the academy alliance. It had to be said that Hilbrand’s leadership and personal abilities were outstanding.

“Senior Eudith, hello.” Hilbrand nodded in response.

After greeting each other, Eudith sat down and started chatting with each other while eating breakfast. After a while, Eudith suddenly changed the topic and cut to the chase.

‘”There’s a rumor. I wonder if you’ve heard of it” Eudith said casually.

“Huh?” Hilbrand stopped moving and looked up at the former, expressing his doubts.

“The rumors about the Wilderness Knight” Next, Eudith told the story of the Dark Jungle War. What was surprising was that he was able to speak of the things he had guessed as if he was in the real world.

‘”Oh” After listening to Eudith’s story, Hillbrad politely replied. Without saying a word, he lowered his head and continued to eat his breakfast.

“Baron Su Jia, what do you think of such a sinister and cunning person?” Without receiving the expected response, Eudith glanced left and right, leaned forward, and asked in a low voice.

Hillbrad straightened up and shrugged, indicating that he had no opinion.

“Don’t you think a person like him should go to hell?” Eudith frowned slightly and continued to ask.

“Did you see everything you said with your own eyes?” Hilbrand suddenly asked.

“Although not, the truth is obvious.” Said Eudith.

“Perhaps your deduction is correct, but you have to consider that there must be something extraordinary about him if he can obtain the support of the three great faiths at the same time.” Hilbrand smiled and said, “That’s obvious, isn’t it?”

‘”This” Eudith was stupefied by the question and immediately felt a little boring. He got up and said goodbye on the pretext that he had eaten his fill. However, before he could take two steps forward, he was stopped by the former.

“Senior Eudith, if I were you, I wouldn’t spread such baseless rumors everywhere. You should know that he is someone His Highness valued, and this is the Princess’ territory, right?” Hildebrand said indifferently.

Eudith was stunned for a moment. He frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he nodded and said, “Baron Su Jia, thank you for your reminder.”

Hilbrand smiled and said, “Good luck.”

After turning around and leaving, Eudith returned to his original dining table. Just as he was about to sit down, a tall and sturdy Lard-bucket and a simple and honest young man walked past him and walked out of the restaurant.

“Ah Mu, who are you taking me to see?” The fat man asked in a low voice. His name was Lu Shanhai, and he used to be a captain of the Sand City Garrison. More than a year ago, he was fired from the garrison for drunkenness and injuring a few former merchants. Seeing that his life was gone, he had no choice but to find another way out. He returned to his hometown Tieshan Town, gathered his old friends, and set up a company, Tieshan Town Huangshan Industrial Investment Co., Ltd., which mainly transported miners and engaged in high-risk operations. He was currently the company’s shareholder and deputy general manager. He had heard some time ago that there was a secret silver mine near Meditator Stronghold that was about to dry up. He needed to dismantle a large amount of mining equipment, so he hurriedly ran over to set up a place to see if there was a chance to take over the business.

“Big shot.” Giant Ah Mu said mysteriously.

Lard-bucket couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Wow! There’s still a big shot … Who else can you know? Who are you lying to?”

“I’m not lying. What a big shot.” Giant Ah Mu said foolishly.

“Alright, I’ve been out for two years and learned to brag. It’s really not simple.” Lard-bucket sighed, his fat face seemingly written, “What are you? Don’t I know?”

“I’m not bragging, I really didn’t lie to you!” Ju Ah Mu blushed and argued excitedly.

Seeing this, Lard-bucket hurriedly waved his hand and said, “I believe you, I believe you.”

Looking at Lard-bucket’s teasing expression, Giant Ah Mu couldn’t help but feel angry. It was like a fist hitting cotton, unable to exert any strength at all. Finally, he clenched his fists and said, “When you see him, you’ll know if I’m telling the truth.”

“Sigh, I already said I believe you. What else do you want?” Lard-bucket said with a faint smile. That complacent look really made Giant Ah Mu extremely depressed.

As they spoke, the two of them arrived in front of the elevator in the middle of the castle. Giant Ah Mu immediately pressed the button of the small elevator at the very edge of the castle.

‘”Oh? It’s still a VIP elevator” Lard-bucket hesitated, then put away his smile and said seriously, “Brother, don’t overdo it. This is the exclusive elevator of a big shot, not anyone can sit in it.”

“I know.” Giant Ah Mu said.

“I know you’re still messing around. Let’s go and have a drink.” As he spoke, Lard-bucket hugged Giant Ah Mu’s shoulder, wanting to take him away. However, the latter broke free and said that he was not joking with him because he wanted to take this elevator.

As the two of them argued, the elevator arrived. Giant Ah Mu stepped in first. Lard-bucket hesitated for a moment and followed suit. Soon, the elevator reached the top of the tower at the highest point of the castle. Only then did Lard-bucket realize that his old friend was not joking, but was really going to take him to see a big shot.

After the elevator door opened, the front suddenly opened up. It was a spacious and luxurious office. After getting out of the elevator, Lard-bucket immediately adjusted his collar and tugged at his sleeves. After tidying up his appearance, he carefully followed behind Giant Ah Mu and walked into the living room.

Raising his eyes, he saw a young man dressed in luxurious clothes and standing with his back facing them. He was standing in front of a large wine cabinet with an ancient style and a dazzling luster reflected on the paint. He seemed to be picking out wine.

Looking around at the magnificent decorations and high-end classic furniture, Lard-bucket looked extremely nervous. He had never seen a real big shot before. Before this, the person with the highest status he had seen was only the noble young master of Sand City. He had never seen such a big shot who could tell at a glance whether he was rich or not.

At this moment, Big shot out a bottle of wine and turned around.

In an instant, Lard-bucket’s eyes widened and his mouth widened. He had an expression of disbelief on his face.

“You … you are …” Lard-bucket stared blankly at the young man in front of him and muttered in a daze.

“Huh?” At this moment, the young man’s eyes suddenly narrowed. A cold light burst out from his eyes, like a sharp blade that pierced through his skin, causing people to tremble.

Lard-bucket couldn’t help but shiver. Then, he woke up and quickly revealed a fawning smile. He said, “Brother Tie … Brother Tie, why is it you?”
