Last Totem Novel - Chapter 363
Chapter 363 Frozen
By Dr3713-12-23, the day before the Praise of the Gods Festival, Waterwheel Town, as usual, had colored flags hanging in front of its doors early in the morning. According to ancient legends, the mountain peak of the gods would hold a grand banquet on this night to celebrate the harvest of the previous year and welcome the new year.
At nine o’clock in the morning, the warm sunlight shone on the snow-covered ground, bringing some warmth to the winter.
“Creak … Creak … Creak … Creak … Creak … Creak … Creak … Creak …”
On a quiet morning, the sound of hard objects rubbing against the snow came from far to near, breaking the silence of the town. Not long after, a man dressed in psionic power armor appeared at the entrance of the town. He stepped on the snow and walked step by step towards the town’s bar.
His name was Brown Joel. He was an exiled noble and also a Third Grade Spirit Bug Envoy. As the name implied, the exiled nobles were the Silver City nobles who had suddenly transformed into insects, or who had been exiled here to manage Ground Town because they had committed a serious crime.
Brown is here today to see if his investment is worth it. Eleven months ago, a bar owner with his daughter came to the grey tower to look for him, hoping to borrow some money to pay off his debts, and offered to let his daughter be his maid for five years if he couldn’t pay back the money. Seeing that the girl was well developed and had a decent appearance, he agreed to this condition.
“Dong dong dong …”
A moment later, he came to the bar door and knocked on the old wooden door. After waiting for a while, the door opened. It was the owner of the bar named Arnold.
“Sir, why are you here?” Arnold looked at him in surprise.
“Tomorrow is the festival. I’m here to see you.” As he spoke, he passed Arnold and walked in, looking around on his own. Without seeing the target, he sat down and asked Arnold, “Where’s your daughter?”
“She … she hasn’t got up yet …” Arnold lowered his hands and said obediently.
“Get her up.” He looked at Arnold and ordered.
“But” Arnold looked like he was about to say something.
“But what?” He frowned and reminded in a deep voice, “Don’t forget, you still have a month.” As a noble of Silver City, they had to maintain their strength when facing these low-level people, otherwise they would be looked down upon.
“Yes … yes … I’ll call her immediately …” Arnold nodded and climbed up to the pavilion to wake up his daughter.
Not long after, Susan arrived in front of Brown Joel, dressed neatly, and nodded in greeting, “Good morning, sir.” At the same time, Uncle Nuo looked at his daughter apologetically. He sighed helplessly and walked into the kitchen.
Looking at the white and tender skin of the cowardly girl in front of him, Brown couldn’t help but widen his eyes and subconsciously swallow his saliva. It had been a long time since he had come to this damned place. On the one hand, he was in a bad mood, and on the other hand, he had not found a suitable partner.
“Turn around.” After being stunned for a few seconds, Brown suddenly ordered.
“Ah?” The girl opened her mouth in confusion.
“Turn around.” Brown repeated and made a sign to turn around.
Facing his strong demands, the girl was stunned for a moment, and then slowly turned around as he said.
Looking at Linglong’s curve and thinking of the warmth and softness in it, Brown could no longer control himself. He hugged the girl and kneaded her up and down.
“Ah! Don’t! Help!” The girl cried out in alarm, like a rabbit that had been bitten by a wolf tooth, but he was even more excited as he increased the strength in his hand.
“Sir! Please respect yourself!” At this moment, the girl’s father rushed out of the kitchen and pulled her away from the claws of the devil, protecting her behind him.
When Brown saw this, he snorted coldly and said, “Remember, you still have a month.” With that, he left the bar and returned to Graytower Town.
Shortly after the uninvited guest left, Tie Zha woke up. His injuries have improved a little, but it will take another month for him to fully recover.
After roughly examining his body, he lifted the blanket and sat up. In the blink of an eye, he saw Arnold and his daughter sitting at the bar with their heads lowered, their faces full of worry.
“What’s the matter?” Tie Zha asked. After a few days of contact, he knew that these two fathers and daughters were good people, so he asked.
Uncle Nuo raised his head and said hesitantly, “Nothing … Nothing …”
Although he could tell that the owner of the bar was not sincere, at this moment, Tie Zha could not protect himself. Since the other party was unwilling to say anything, he did not pursue the matter further.
After a while, the girl got up and went to the bed. She quietly cleaned his wounds and bandaged them up with clean bandages. After finishing, Tie Zha gave her a gold coin. The girl immediately smiled and thanked her loudly. Then, she jumped up and down in front of her father and stuffed the gold coins into the cocoon-covered hand.
Uncle Nuo looked at the gold coins in his hand and couldn’t help but whisper, “Susan, Dad, I’m sorry …”
“Dad …” The girl comforted softly, “Back then, I was the one who was not obedient and ran around. You were also trying to save me, that’s why …”
As he spoke, the father and daughter hugged each other and wept. Seeing this, Tie Zha felt powerless, so he could only cover himself with the blanket and continue to sleep. It was important for him to recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, there was nothing he could do with this broken body.
At the same time, while the father and daughter were sobbing in a low voice in the bar, in the Spirit Snake Heavenly Capital, one of the five capital cities of the Far East, two girls with identical figures were pacing in from the side hall of the former Spirit Snake Temple.
They were Bi Qinglan’s trusted aides, Zhao Ziying and Zhao Zitao.
At this moment, under the porch of the side hall stood four female guards with exquisite stature, sweet and moving appearance, bright eyes and bright teeth, as pure as a girl next door. The four of them looked exactly the same, and their similarities were even higher than those of the identical twins Zhao Ziying and Zhao Zitao, as if they were printed in the same mold.
After seeing the two women, the four female guards neatly took a step back and made way for the passageway. Walking into the side hall, the two women came to the sofa and knelt down on one knee to their master.
“Little Ying has received your order.” “Little Tao, come here.” The two women reported one after another.
“The Golden Battleship went to the Southern Cemetery, and then Tie Zha disappeared, I guess” Bi Qinglan grinned. “He must have lied to the princess’ lightning hammer and jumped into the middle-high radiation zone …” Xiao Yingxiaotao revealed a puzzled expression at the same time. Bi Qinglan turned her head to look at the flames swaying in the fireplace and continued, “If the previous Great Prophet of Glory had hoped for future generations to rise again, he would definitely have left behind a huge amount of startup capital. The Temple of Glory back then was very wealthy …” Her expression darkened as she ordered, “Little Cherry and Little Peach!”
“Yes!” The two women replied at the same time.
“Arrange a group of Spirit Snake martial artists to try their luck in the southern cemetery.” Bi Qinglan instructed.
“Yes!” The two women replied again and then retreated.
Looking at their departing figures, Bi Qinglan picked up her snow-white porcelain cup, took a sip of yellow orange green tea, and asked to herself, “Student Tie Zha, where are you hiding?”
Just as Zhao Ziying and Zhao Zitao were heading to the Martial Cultivator’s Hall to select people, in the luxurious hall of Twilight Manor by the Cold Lake, with golden carpets laid on it, Youge Lombar was leaning against a cloth sofa embroidered with flowers and vines, lazily propping up the handrails and discussing matters with her assistant.
“In order to reduce the impact, we cannot openly search for Lightning Hammer. After a while, when the storm is over, we will send people to the southern cemetery to look for him.” You Ge says slowly. This is the first time she has mentioned that heartless person since that day.
“What about after we find it?” Eva Green asked calmly, without a trace of redundancy on her face.
“Kill him.” You Ge said indifferently, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
“Yes.” Eva nodded in response. At this time, the simpler the words, the higher the degree of implementation. From this moment onwards, she would carry out the princess’ orders to kill Tie Zha Northess. Since he chose to stand against them, he could not blame them for being ruthless. Even if she couldn’t bear it in her heart, she would still resolutely carry it out.
After leaving Twilight Manor, Eva returned to her home on Babylon Garden Street with an indifferent expression. As soon as he entered, the old butler stepped forward and told him that Mu Qianhe was here.
After changing her shoes, she came to the living room and saw Mu Qianhe waiting for her. Afterwards, the old butler brought tea and refreshments, and the two good friends sat down and chatted with each other.
“What kind of wind brought you here?” She smiled and asked her friend.
“I’m here to deliver a letter.” Mu Qianhe said straightforwardly, then took out a letter and handed it to her.
Looking at the crooked name on the envelope, she had already guessed who it was. She only knew one person who could write her name so ugly.
“Alright, in order not to disturb you from reading the letter, I’ll leave first.” Mu Qianhe smiled, then declined her invitation to dinner and left the villa.
After her good friend left, Eva stared blankly at the snow-white envelope and fell into a long thought.
After an unknown amount of time, she slowly stood up, walked to the fireplace, lit the letter on the fire, and placed it on a sterling silver plate, quietly watching it burn to ashes. She knew him and knew what he would say without looking. Since he was already an enemy, there was no need for him to disturb his heart. Although she hadn’t been together for a long time, she knew that she would never fall in love with anyone again in her life. Without the ability to love, she could only freeze her heart.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before they would fight each other. She hoped that at that time, she would be able to face the assassin calmly and painfully, and she also hoped that he would not show mercy to her and kill her if he deserved to.
There was a saying in the Far East that there was no father or son on the battlefield, let alone a lover?
One had to know that the Temple and Glory would never stop until they died.
