Last Totem Novel - Chapter 350

Chapter 350 Shame
Dr3713-09-01, the Central Silver City Military Academy ushered in its 984th academic year.

On this day, the academy bid farewell to the tranquility of summer vacation and bustled with activity everywhere. The students chirped back like birds returning to their nests. In twos and threes they walked along the shaded lanes, whispered to each other at the lakeside, talked about each other’s thoughts, and laughed and laughed in the dining hall.

At this year’s opening ceremony, Yoga Lombar succeeded the president of the Student Union and Bi Qinglan succeeded the secretary-general of the Student Union, while the vice president of the Student Union was replaced by a dignified girl named Margaret. Tie Zha couldn’t help but feel a little lonely when he couldn’t see the figures of Mu Yu and the other two sisters.

After the opening ceremony was over, it was the annual ball, held at the World Council’s “Red Maple Building”. The Red Maple Pavilion was located on the east side of the Green Bamboo House. There was only a wall separating the two. The main building was a large red brick and green tile house. It had both the style of the Far East and the style of ancient Europe.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Tie Zha wore a luxurious and low-key evening gown, wore the bow tie that Eva had personally chosen for him, wore shiny leather shoes, and brought Qin Ke’er and Mu Qianhe to the Red Maple Pavilion.

The party was luxuriously decorated with silk ribbons, gold-painted tapestries, candlelight silverware, crystal glass, exquisite delicacies and bright purple wine. Celebrities from all walks of life, nobles of all sizes, young ladies, and socialites wandered around. Some danced on the dance floor, some laughed and smiled at the table, some walked around, looking for someone to communicate with.

Tie Zha stood in the corner as usual, looking at Qin Ke’er and Mu Qian He, who were playing on the dance floor, sipping wine alone.

The thick wine flowed in his throat, carrying a faint aroma of fruit, flowing into his heart and lungs, causing a moment of warmth to rise.

Unknowingly, he finished a glass of wine. He was about to turn around and take it again, but at this moment, he saw someone he knew, so he stopped. Amongst the crowd not far away, Bi Qinglan, dressed in a cyan golden dragon cheongsam, was standing there beautifully, staring fixedly at him.

The moment their gazes met, Bi Qinglan smiled at him. Then, she opened her lips and said something silent.

Looking at her mouth, it was, “Northess.”

Tie Zha frowned and subconsciously looked left and right. Seeing his nervous expression, Bi Qinglan laughed even more happily.

Helplessly, he walked over and pulled her into a corner. “Friend, are you playing with fire?” He asked in a deep voice.

“No ~ I’m not playing with fire ~” Bi Qinglan pretended to be innocent and smiled sweetly. “I’m playing with you ~”

“Are you out of your mind?” Tie Zha said angrily.

Bi Qinglan nodded obediently, making Tie Zha almost go crazy.

After a moment of silence, Bi Qinglan suddenly asked a question.

“Student Tie Zha, Leng Hu has four manors and 51 residences, representing the current world pattern.”

“However, the academy has a history of more than 900 years, so …”

“Where did the manor representing the Temple of Glory go back then?”

Tie Zha frowned and expressed her doubts. Bi Qinglan then asked, “The manor representing the Ancient Temple is called the Green Bamboo House, and the manor representing the World Conference is called the Red Maple House. Do you think …”

“This naming style has the colors of the Far East?”

Tie Zha’s gaze instantly froze. Bi Qinglan smiled at him and answered, “The place you are standing in now originally belonged to the Temple of Glory.”

‘”Come, let me show you a place” As he said that, Bi Qinglan pulled Tie Zha’s hand and walked to the side of the hall.

Not long after, Bi Qinglan pushed open a double-leaf wooden door and led him into a side hall. Looking around, there were long dining tables and two rows of thick wooden dining chairs in the hall. The walls were covered with various tapestries with different badges embroidered on them. At one end of the room, there was a large lecture platform.

Bi Qinglan closed the door and walked to the dining table. She pulled open one of the seats and said, “As you can see, this is the Student Council Dining Room.”

“And then?” Tie Zha frowned and asked impatiently.

Bi Qinglan smiled meaningfully and sat down on the dining table. She slowly lifted her cheongsam and spread out her thigh. Her voice was sticky and seductive, “Handsome man, can I have a hair?”

“I’m leaving!” After saying that, Tie Zha turned around and left.

Seeing this, Bi Qinglan quickly jumped down from the dining table, grabbed his hand, and said softly, “Don’t go, I’ll show you something …”

With that, Bi Qinglan pulled him to the side of the wall, grabbed a corner of the tapestry, and lifted it up forcefully.

In an instant, a wolf head embedded in the wall appeared. The wolf head was carved out of stone. Its lines were very simple, but it was lifelike, as if it were a living creature. Upon closer inspection, the wolf still had a scroll in its mouth.

“Do you recognize this badge?” Before Tie Zha could react, Bi Qinglan asked himself, “This is the poem of the bright moon, Lorenphil.”

Then she lifted another tapestry, revealing an eagle’s head with a harmonica in its mouth.

“This is downpour, Zangwell.”

She opened it one by one, with the head of a wolf biting a warhammer, the head of an eagle holding a harpoon, and the head of a mammoth with a horn rolled up …

“This is Starless Light, Sarados.” “This is the Deep Sea Harpoon, Gaskell.” “This is the Ice Horn, Saxton.”

“I think …” She pulled the whole tapestry off as she spoke. “You must know this!”

Suddenly, Tie Zha’s gaze froze. It was a wolf with three swords biting its head. It was Northas’ clan emblem!

Looking at this wolf head that was incomplete and covered in scratches, he felt sad and powerless …

After a while, Bi Qinglan patted him on the shoulder and pointed at the podium in the room. “Norse, do you know what that is?” She asked.

“That’s the sacrificial altar of the Holy Flame, and this place …” Bi Qinglan opened her hands and introduced, “It was once the place for you to pay your respects to your ancestors.”

“They are eating here, talking loudly, picking up girls here, and even dining at the table, while your ancestors watched helplessly because …”

“They are the victors, and you are the losers!”

“Oh ~ Right …” Bi Qinglan suddenly remembered something. She looked at the ceiling and said, “Have you been to the War Museum in Upper City?”

“If you haven’t been there before, I suggest that you have some time to take a look. Perhaps you’ll be pleasantly surprised …”

She smiled and provoked, but Tie Zha was dumbfounded. He silently looked at the Northses’ emblem, his eyes no longer shining with brilliance.

Bi Qinglan coldly said, “Do you feel humiliated? Perhaps you have long forgotten that there is such a thing as humiliation in this world …” In the end, she left the room and left him here alone.

After a long time …

In a trance, Tie Zha heavily exhaled, but the gloominess in his heart did not decrease by a single point. Until the end of the dance, he still hadn’t recovered. His thoughts were chaotic, and he didn’t know where to think of them.

After leaving Red Maple Building, Tie Zha was like a walking corpse. He didn’t say goodbye to anyone but walked aimlessly forward. Just like his life, he didn’t know where to go.

Walking out of Cold Lake, passing through Babylon Garden Street, passing through War God’s Hall, passing through Egret Lake, passing through Bamboo Cage Street, passing through rows of collective dormitories, passing through the Student Union building, passing through the round-table warrior gate, passing through Central Street, and entering a sea of bright lights.

The lights were red and the wine was green, and it was a prosperous time.

He walked through the familiar city, but he couldn’t find any sense of belonging. At this moment, it was as if a ball of fire was burning his heart mercilessly. He only wanted to be an ordinary person and live a simple life. He was attached to a warm home, delicious hot food, and a beautiful person …

However, he knew better than anyone that he would never be able to get rid of the status of an insect.

In the dim light, he seemed to see many figures.

“Come to Notre Dame. If Ling Lan can become the Moon Prayer Sacrifice, then you will be the captain of the Moon God Guard. If not, we will take a step back. I will be the Rain Prayer Sacrifice and you will be the captain of the Rain God Guard.”

“Tie Zha, a knight from the wilderness, please show your courage and loyalty under the witness of the True God and help me expand my territory and guard my homeland.”

“If you want to be happy, you have to come back alive. Otherwise, others will be happy. I’m not willing to be widowed for you.”

“Men always say that time proves all love, but women’s time is always short. When it proves everything, women are like withered roses, no longer fragrant, so …”

“You ~ I like you ~ You can keep me, it’s so cheap …”

“We’ll take you to the Cloud Mountain and Sea of Mist, climb the Thousand Chi Lonely Peak, visit the Ten Thousand Year Heavenly Lake, eat the small stove in the mountain, and listen to Lin Hai’s bamboo sound …”

When he was with them, he felt happy, happy. He likes to be on the sofa with You Ge, looking at her naughty and enchanting; He liked to go shopping with Eva, watch movies, and listen to her talk about new and interesting knowledge; He liked to sit quietly with Mu Yu Ling Lan and look at her beautiful face. He liked to fight with Muyu Qinxin and was tainted with her youthful vigor; He liked to play cards and chess with Qin Ke’er and looked at her cute and lovely face. He also liked to stay in the back garden with Mu Qianhe, enjoying her tenderness.

Gentle Village was the Tomb of Heroes.

He was so attached to all of this that he was reluctant to let go.

Just like a drowning person, unable to give up his life buoy, just like a winter night traveler, unable to give up the warm and comfortable quilt.

However, there were still words of hope lingering in his ears.

“The Temple of Glory! Is it really … really there!”

“The hands of the corpse transporter are too dirty. I can’t touch them … I can’t touch them … I can’t touch them …”

“The one I knelt on was the 29,512 heroes, not you.”

There seemed to be countless voices reminding him that you were Norse, that you were a glorious fire seed, and that you were the hope of the vast earth.

He really wanted to tell them that he was just a child that could be seen everywhere in Tieshan Town, who grew up picking up trash. He didn’t have much ability or pursuit, he just wanted to live a peaceful life. He was willing to hide his identity and live in the shadows for the rest of his life. As long as he could live a better life, he would be happier.

There was nothing he could do about such a distant matter. He was just an insect that struggled on the edge of the world, struggling to survive. If it weren’t for Lena, Muyu Qinxin, and You Ge, he would have died many times …
