Last Totem Novel - Chapter 331

Chapter 331 Rumors
Two months later …

By Dr3713-07-08, the breeze in the late summer blew through the floating silver cities, bringing the last bit of humidity to the world. However, in the bottomless abyss at the other end of the planar gate, it was as dark and cold as ever.

The Bottomless Abyss had no seasons, no days or nights. In such an environment for a long time, humans would gradually forget the flow of time, because every minute, every second, every moment, there seemed to be no change. They would even slowly forget their original rules of life, becoming like abyssals, eating when they were hungry and sleeping when they ate.

However, Tie Zha was an exception. Two months of darkness did not change his life. He still woke up at 9:30 a.m.. Every morning. After breakfast, he would either go out to patrol around, drink tea in the office, or exercise in the training room …

Today, just as he finished his breakfast, he called a team of guards and took Mu Qianhe out the door.

About two kilometers above the Thinker Stronghold, there was an irregular circular concrete building. From afar, a small portion of the building was built on a protrusion on the cliff, and most of it was embedded in the stone wall. From the side, a stream winds down the stone wall above and flows into the building. This was the large reservoir of the Thinker Stronghold. The water was diverted from the water source above, and after simple sedimentation and filtration, it was stored here.

After arriving at the reservoir, Tie Zha had the guards wait below, and then he brought Mu Qianhe to climb up the dam of the reservoir.

‘”Wow ~” Looking at the calm water surface, Mu Qianhe opened his hands and shouted happily. She had been in the abyss for two months, and she regretted following her every day, either facing the ice-cold rocks or looking at the boundless darkness. She needs to relax on a rare holiday.

“You–well–ah, I am–Mu Qianhe,” she shouted towards the distance, “I love Tie Zha, I love–I love–I die–he’s–”

Tie Zha smiled as he listened to his deep, hoarse but clear voice. He didn’t say anything.

Then, Mu Qianhe took off his clothes, revealing his well-proportioned body. Then, he changed into a three-point swimsuit in front of Tie Zha. After a few simple warm-up movements, she jumped down like a dolphin and plunged into the mirror-like surface of the water.

Looking at Mu Qianhe swimming in the water, Tie Zha gradually fell into his thoughts. In the past two months, he had opened up a new secret silver mine, and with Lu Shanhai’s assistance, he had dismantled the old secret silver mine. But while working, one of Lard-bucket’s subordinates had an accident and was buried forever in the mine. When Tie Zha found out about the situation, he was surprised to discover that the victim was someone he knew. The man was called Big Head. He had once gone to the sand sea to hunt for golden sandworms with him, but because he raised some objections halfway, after returning to Tieshan Town, he was fired by Old Di for an excuse.

Big Head, who had lost his livelihood, had nothing to do all day and worked part-time. Later, Lu Shanhai set up a company and he followed him. However, he didn’t expect that he would stay here forever.

Tie Zha then waved his pen and allocated an extra 200 gold coins to Lu Shanhai, which could be considered as taking care of Tieshan Town’s old friend.

The day before yesterday afternoon, You Ge sent an e-mail asking him to arrange the affairs of the stronghold as soon as possible, and then rushed back to the academy to participate in the auction of the specimens of the Great Red Abyss Devil’s head. In addition, it was about to be summer vacation. She was going back to the Northern Wilderness for this vacation, so she wanted to get together with him for a few days before she left. The Thinker Stronghold was guarded by the Kingfisher troops of the Dawn Expeditionary Army, under the care of Oliver, and assisted by Hilbrand, who was smart and calm. Even if he left for a long time, it wouldn’t have much of an impact.

It took him a day to arrange the follow-up work. Tonight, he would have a farewell dinner with Jerome, Match, Tuoba San, Bai Xiaoyun, Ju Ah Mu, Lu Shan Hai, and the others. He would leave for the academy early tomorrow morning.

Mu Qianhe swam over and appeared on the surface of the water. She blinked at him and seduced him.

“I can’t swim.” Tie Zha shook his head and said.

“Come on ~ Qianhe will teach you ~” She smiled and looked at him, her eyebrows full of temptation, as if she was saying, “Come down and have a shot ~”

Although he knew that Mu Qianhe was different from Mu Yuqinxin and would not take the opportunity to play tricks on him, he still refused. If he got into the water, he could only rely on Mu Qianhe. However, he was not the kind of person who was willing to put his fate in the hands of others, so he was extremely resistant to such things. Moreover, even if he wanted to go into the water, it was still within his control. For example, the Atlantic Mansion’s swimming pool, he would try his best to avoid unnecessary dangers.

Seeing that Tie Zha was unwilling to go into the water, Mu Qianhe did not continue to persuade him and turned to other matters. “Oh right, I heard some bad rumors among the soldiers recently …”

“About me?” Tie Zha asked.

“Yes.” Mu Qianhe nodded. Then he swam over, Half lying on the shore, He tilted his head and looked up at Tie Zha. He said, “They said that you sacrificed your members for your own selfishness, but you insisted on hunting down the Great Abyss Devils under the circumstances that you could have chased them away, causing the deaths of three combat retainers and a Third Grade Psionic Adept. They said that you could have avoided casualties, but for the sake of your reputation, you ignored the safety of others, and so on.” They also said that you were in the dark jungle, plotting against other Guild Leaders, plundering their guilds and property; He even said that you are uneducated, and you can’t even write your own name. Even signing an order is twisted and twisted … ”

“This is very normal.” After listening to Mu Qianhe’s narrative, Tie Zha wasn’t angry. Instead, he smiled faintly and commented. Although these rumors were extremely ear-piercing, he knew that all of this had nothing to do with his decision-making, his character, or his culture …

All of this was because he was a “lowly ground person”, but he “got lucky” and obtained “the glory and status of a nouveau riche”. That was why he had gained so much hostility. The nobles of Silver City, the residents of the Western Continent, and even the people on the ground at the bottom of the Central Continent were filled with hatred and unwillingness towards him, a scavenger from Northern Wilderness Town.

The poorest places, the most backward areas, the lowliest status, and the lowliest backgrounds stood on the stage of the world.

In their eyes, he was like a jumping clown, swaying in front of their eyes, causing them to be dizzy, so disgusted that they wanted to smash their heads against the wall and faint.

This is always the case in this world …

Westerners valued their bloodline and background, so they had reasons to dislike him.

The people in the middle, attach importance to education, attach importance to character, also have reasons not to like him;

The people of the Far East disliked poverty and hated wealth, so they also had reasons to dislike him.

None of the three most populous areas liked him. Even though the people of Northern Desolate Iron Mountain Town were proud of him, they were only a drop in the ocean and were instantly drowned in rumors.

In this regard, he could only pretend that he did not see or hear it. Even if he saw it, he did not understand it. Even if he heard it, he did not understand it. He did not understand …

There was no way, no choice.

Although no one, even one of them, dared to show the slightest bit of disdain in front of him, behind his back, he was extremely vicious, portraying him as an existence comparable to the Great Abyss Devil. To this, he felt that all his strength was on cotton, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Moreover, this situation made him feel very confused. Everyone around them seemed to be wearing thick masks. He didn’t know who truly agreed with him, who secretly slandered him, who was his friend, who was his enemy, who had flowers in his arms, and who had sharp knives in his arms. Other than his original friend, he didn’t know who he could trust.

A few days ago, he wanted to talk to Mu Yu Ling Lan about the confusion in his heart, but he could not contact her. Then he tried to contact Mu Yu Qin Xin, but the same result happened. They seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. However, he didn’t think too much about it. Perhaps they had gone to the Moon Praying Temple to cultivate. Moreover, there were many people he could consult with. If he couldn’t find the two sisters of the Muyu Clan, he would find Eva Green, who was omnipotent.

Actually, the Temple’s think tank was the best person for him to consult and discuss problems. However, he subconsciously went to Mu Yu Ling Lan first. This was not because he liked more, but because Mu Yu Ling Lan’s style of handling things was the most similar to his.

When Eva heard about his condition, she suggested that he set up an internal review group to control the rumors and find out the source of the rumors. After confirming the target, regardless of who the opponent was, he would immediately find a reason to kill him. In any case, casualties could occur in the abyss at any time. When people gradually realized that it was not only useless to talk about him, but also possible to bring about a calamity, they would naturally shut their mouths.

“What if it’s the deputy commander of the Kingfisher Army?” Tie Zha had assumed.

“Your Highness, as long as it is necessary, there is nothing here that cannot be killed except the members of the Temple Elders’ Council, the current Patriarchs of the nobles, and the first successor to the throne.”

“Including Eugene?” He couldn’t help but ask.

“Including.” Eva said calmly, as if she was talking about something normal.

“This” He was momentarily speechless.

“Her Highness Princess has had a wish to kill her brother since she was young. It’s just that it didn’t come true. If you really want to do this, she will definitely be very happy.” Eva said darkly.

‘”As for …” Tie Zha couldn’t help but sigh.

However, after receiving Eva’s advice, Tie Zha did nothing. Because he knew that if he really did this, it would definitely bring some negative effects to You Ge. He felt that he had obtained enough and could not cause her any more trouble. Moreover, he never cared what others said about him behind his back, how they scolded him, as long as he didn’t face him face to face. If he really cared about it, half of Tieshan Town’s people would probably be killed by him.

Back then, he had never been soft-hearted in killing people. Moreover, in order to form a deterrent, he usually killed them on the streets. That method was extremely cruel. Although his fierce reputation in Tieshan Town hadn’t reached the realm of “stopping a child from crying”, it wasn’t much different.
