Last Totem Novel - Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Blessing
Just when Tie Zha and Muyu Ling Lan met, in an alley not far from them, an old man with one eye and a little boy were sharing the toast they had just gotten. The little boy wolfed down his food. The old man squatted beside him, stroking his hair and cursing him, “Eat, eat, eat, eat. You know what to eat.” Although the old man said harsh words, his remaining eyes were filled with the love of his elders.

The old man was also eating bread, but he ate very slowly. He drank a few mouthfuls of water before eating a small piece. After a while, the little boy finished half of the toast and his stomach was bulging. After all, more than half of the toast weighs about a kilo. When the old man saw the little boy finish his meal, he wrapped the remaining bread in greasy paper and put it into a canvas bag. Then he said to the little boy, “Alright, go back and pack your things. Then we are going somewhere else.”

“Where are you going?” The little boy asked.

“We’ve been heading south for the warmth of the winter.” The old man replied.

“I… I don’t want to go. Everyone there likes to steal things.” The little boy said. Last year’s trip left a very bad impression on him. Most of the southern towns were more chaotic than Iron Mountain Town.

“If we stay here, we’ll freeze to death. Let’s go.” As he spoke, the old man carried his shoulder bag and prepared to leave the alley with the little boy. At this moment, a group of Autonomous Guild guards with real guns and ammunition rushed over from the other side of the alley. The old man saw from afar that their faces were filled with nervousness, as if they were about to enter a battle.

The old man hurriedly pulled the little boy to the side to make way for the guards. Not long after, they filed past the old man and guarded the corner of the alley and the street.

At this time, the old man saw a tall and thin middle-aged man and a tall and beautiful woman at the back of the line. The old man recognized these two people. One of them was the captain of the garrison of the Autonomous Society, Old Di. The other was Tieshan Town Police Chief and Chairman of the Autonomous Society, Lena.

The one-eyed old man had a bad premonition when he saw the two people with the highest status in Tieshan Town move at the same time. He pulled the little boy out of the alley as soon as the team passed by.

As the old man stood up and left, Lena and Old Di arrived at the corner between the main street and the alley. Just a few minutes ago, the Autonomous Society’s spies in the town hurriedly reported that Tie Zha had clashed fiercely with the Silver City Garrison, and that they might have even killed someone. When Lena heard this news, her expression changed drastically. She almost gritted her teeth and smashed the phone. She didn’t expect Tie Zha to dare to make such a fuss. These people didn’t even dare to offend her as a sheriff, let alone a brat like him. However, she quickly calmed down. Now that things had happened, she could only make a choice.

A few seconds later, Lena gathered Old Di and the most loyal members of the Autonomous Council. Her choice was very simple. If the other party wanted to kill Tie Zha, he had to ask her about her spear and sword. Agree or disagree!

When the old flute reached the corner, he immediately took out his binoculars and leaned out to observe the situation on the street. After a while, Old Di returned to the alley and said to Lena with a bitter face, “That brat still looks like he’s fine. He doesn’t know that he has caused a big disaster, and he still has time to chat with a nun.”

Lena frowned and grabbed the binoculars in Old Di’s hands, looking out of the alley. In the lens of the telescope, she saw Tie Zha standing face to face with an unfamiliar beauty. The distance between them was still very close. Seeing that they were chatting so fiercely, Lena gritted her teeth and thought to herself, “Big sister’s heart is almost scared out of her wits. You still have a vacant girl …”

The more Lena thought about it, the angrier she became. She squeaked the binoculars in her hands. Seeing that this expensive military telescope was about to be crushed by her, Old Di hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Sixth Miss, please calm down. The other party is a nun from the Divine Hall of Prayer for Rain. It’s impossible for her to have anything to do with Tie Zha.”

Under Old Di’s persuasion, Lena gradually relaxed her hand and regained her calm. Then she picked up her binoculars again and continued to observe Tie Zha. When her gaze once again shifted to the girl’s body and saw her clothes clearly, she couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. It turned out that she was so angry that she didn’t pay attention to the girl’s clothes. Now that she took another look, she immediately discovered the other party’s identity. The young girl was not an ordinary nun, but a priest from the Divine Rain Prayer Palace!

Under the magnification of the telescope, Lena could clearly see the girl’s gaze on the iron slag. She heaved a sigh of relief, put down her binoculars and said to Old Flute, “Disband from where you are. All of you, go back.”

“What’s the matter?” Old Di asked with a puzzled expression.

Lena snorted coldly and said, “He is protected by the goddess of the Divine Hall of Prayer for Rain. Killing a few people from the ground garrison is nothing, even if it’s for fun!”

“How could Tie Zha know a goddess? Furthermore, even if he did, no one else would be able to help him. Who the hell is he?” Said Old Di. He thought that Lena was playing with her temper, not really wanting to leave. Moreover, if something really happened to Tie Zha, Lena would definitely regret it and vent her anger on him.

“The way you look at that girl” Lina sighed and said, “Forget it, you’re not a woman. You don’t understand even if you say it.”

Old Di laughed and nodded, “Yes, yes, I don’t understand.”

Just as Lena was leaving the alley with her team, Tie Zha and Muyu Ling Lan finally recognized each other.

“Mu Yu Zhi Feng, the bell orchid is blooming. Please remember my name. I’m not a goddess.” The goddess looked at Tie Zha and said seriously. When she became serious, her expression became both devout and dignified, making it difficult for people to get close to her.

“You’re just a little follower.” Tie Zha leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear.

“You … you’re a big follower.” As he spoke, a flush appeared on Mu Yu Ling Lan’s pretty face. However, the habit she had cultivated in the Divine Hall for many years had allowed her to regain her previous indifference in the blink of an eye.

Tie Zha snorted coldly and said, “I’m really getting more and more arrogant. Now, I still dare to retort.”

Hearing the teasing words of the youth, Muyu Linglan tried her best to maintain a dignified expression. However, the smile on her face betrayed her current mood. For so many years, today was her happiest day, even happier than the day she put on her priest’s uniform.

“Are you … well?” Iron slag suddenly asked.

Hearing this simple greeting, her heart melted in an instant. She remembered a lot of things from the past, and she had a lot to say to him. However, at the edge of his mouth, thousands of words turned into one sentence.

“I… I’m fine. What about you?”

“Can I not do well?” Tie Zha asked confidently.

“Mm ~ You’re still that powerful …”

As she spoke, Mu Yu Ling Lan seemed to recall something. Then, she cast a provocative look at Tie Zha and said, “Young man, do you need the blessing of the Rain God?”

Just as Tie Zha wanted to say yes, he remembered that accepting the blessing of the Rain God required him to kneel down piously. Thinking of this, Iron Slag secretly pinched a cold sweat. He was very glad that he did not agree.

This little girl is getting more and more cunning …

“There are too many sins on me. Blessing me will bring shame to Rain God.” Said Tie Zha.

“As long as you have good intentions, the omnipotent Rain God will forgive your sins.”

“I have too many sins. If Rain God knew, she would definitely cry.” Tie Zha whispered.

“Young man, please accept God Rain’s blessing.” Mu Yu Ling Lan approached him and whispered, “Whether you like it or not.” Then, she looked around and attracted the attention of everyone. Then, she raised her voice and said, “The radiance of the Rain God will guide you, the blessing of the Rain God will accompany you, the grace of the Rain God will soothe your soul, and the holy sword of the Rain God will punish your enemies …”

At this time, everyone looked at Tie Zha, even the nuns and soldiers. At this moment, Tie Zha became the focus of everyone’s attention. The gazes everyone looked at him gradually became complicated. Some of them were envious, some were jealous, and some even hated him! How glorious was the blessing personally presided over by the goddess. It was said that only people of high status could receive the blessing of a goddess. However, the youth in front of him was nothing. He was actually able to have the goddess preside over a blessing ceremony for him.

Although people were jealous and jealous, Tie Zha was dumb enough to eat coptis. No matter what, at this point, he had no way out. He could offend the Silver City garrison, but he couldn’t blaspheme God Rain’s grace in front of everyone. That is truly an extremely heinous crime. There is no place in the world to hide anymore …

“You’ll regret it. You’ll pay the price.” The helpless iron slag obediently knelt down on one knee to the goddess official and looked down at her white boots, pouting in a voice that only she could hear.

“The care of the Rain God will grant you unparalleled glory.” After Mu Yu Ling Lan finished her last prayer, she bent down and placed her hands on Tie Zha’s shoulders. Then, she took the opportunity to whisper, “Are you proposing?” Just as Tie Zha was about to deny it, she straightened up and placed her right hand on top of his head, completing the ceremony.

At this moment, the gazes of the high-ranking nuns looking at Tie Zha became even more complicated. Mu Yu Ling Lan’s blessing was not an ordinary blessing, but a blessing from a priest and a guardian knight. This blessing was called “prayer before the expedition”.

After completing the blessing, Tie Zha stood up hatefully. At the same time, Mu Yu Ling Lan raised her hand to signal for a nun to quickly carry a basket to her side. She took out two pieces of cheese bread from the basket, packed them in paper bags, and handed them to Tie Zha with both hands.

“Thank you.” Tie Zha pretended to be very happy as he took the bread and said weakly. At this time, Ye Xinling, who had been standing behind him, stepped forward and took the paper bag, then silently retreated.

After a while, people’s attention gradually returned to normal, what should they do, what should they divide the bread, what should they chat about …

As people shifted their gazes, the iron slag felt much less pressure.

“Girls have given gifts. Master should give one back.” When Ye Xinling saw that Tie Zha was shriveled, she knew that he was very upset, so she made a suggestion and lifted the cloth bag with the electric current collector. That’s what she thinks. All girls like gifts and are happy to receive them. After that, the other party happily opened it and saw that the result was a piece of trash. She would feel very depressed. At least, she, Ye Xinling, would feel very depressed. .

Although Tie Zha did not understand what Ye Xinling meant, this item was originally given to him by someone else. He did not care much about it, so he casually took the cloth bag and gave it to Mu Yu Ling Lan.

Mu Yu Ling Lan took the cloth bag and opened it. It was a transparent sphere. It was probably some kind of waste. With Qi Qiao exquisitely carved her heart, she immediately understood Ye Xinling’s malice.

However, even if it was scrap, he was the one who gave it to him. As long as he gave it to her, it would be a treasure.

“Thank you ~ I like it very much.” Muyu Linglan looked at Ye Xinling intentionally or unintentionally and said in an intensified tone, “I will put it beside the bed and watch every day.”
