Last Totem Novel - Chapter 372
Chapter 372 Supervision
In the noisy environment, in the warm fire, the old wooden shell radio was producing a hoarse sound.
“This is Greyhound Radio, LW882. I’m Charlie Greyhound. The time after dinner is always so leisurely. If you look up at the starry sky in the wilderness, can you feel the beauty of a moment …”
‘”At this time, I want to bring you a beautiful song. It will be played next. Are you alright,” by Snowy, the G.o.ddess of Graysoil? ”
“It’s snowing in the sky. Are you alright?”
“Perhaps you are walking on the gray earth, walking through the ancient ruins, enduring pain and hunger.”
“Danger is always with you. Seeing you leave that day, my heart felt as if it was pierced through.”
“I know, you did it for me, for our lives.”
“Every night I light a candle in front of the window and wait for your return.”
“You will come back, my love, my heart, everything I have.”
“Our child is about to arrive in this world. Every day I tell him your story, your courage, your persistence.”
His clear voice carried a faint sense of sadness. Through the noisy sound, it traveled far away …
“What crappy song? Change the channel.” A discordant voice suddenly sounded. The person who spoke was none other than the Black Pig King. But he did not mean to switch channels, but to express his protest, because there was only one radio station in the southern cemetery, whether people liked it or not.
“What exactly is the glorious legend you mentioned earlier?” Tie Zha drank a mouthful of inferior ale and asked casually.
“That’s an ancient story. It’s said that a long time ago” The Black Pig King’s expression froze as he slowly said, “A group of people fought. A group of people won and a group of people lost. Thus, those who lost swore that they would definitely come back in the future and fight again.”
At this time, the eavesdropping bar owner looked at him with disdain and said, “Black pig, don’t tell a story if you can’t tell a story.”
“If you have the ability, tell me.” The Black Pig King narrowed his eyes and said.
“Alright, let me tell you …” The bartender put down the cup in his hand and said, “In this land, there is an ancient prophecy. When the northern flame is lit again, we will find happiness and peace and leave this damned place.”
After listening to the story of the owner of the bar, Tie Zha fell silent for a long time and asked, “Do you believe this legend?”
“Hahaha” Looking at Tie Zha’s serious expression, the Black Pig King suddenly burst into laughter. After laughing for a while, he stood up and raised his wine glass. He looked around at the strong men in the hall and asked loudly, “Do you believe in glorious legends?”
The crowd fell silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.
“Hahaha …” “We’re past the age of innocence.” “Only fools believe in fairy tales.” “I’ve heard it since I was sensible. Now, my ears are almost cocooning. I’ve never seen any so-called Holy Flame before.” “It’s just a story about deceiving a child.” “It’s said that an old beggar made it up for begging …”
“I believe it!” A clear voice suddenly came from the noise. Everyone turned their heads and saw a female costume student holding a tray, standing there with a beautiful expression of longing.
“The little wildcat is in heat.” “Hahaha …” “Come on, twist your butt.” “This voice is so crisp. It must be very pleasant to hear at night.”
“I believe.” The female clothing student said again, her big eyes flickering with an indescribable determination.
“Child, who cheated you? Tell me, Uncle will help you beat him up.” “Which bastard is it? It’s fine if you steal the heart and eat the meat. You even lied to the little girl. It’s really not something.” “Kill him!” Everyone shouted in righteous indignation.
“Up until now … I can still remember what my mother said before she died …” Looking at the crowd, she said slowly after a long while, “She held my hand and said, baby, no matter what fate brings you here, you must not give up hope. You must believe that there is a cluster of fire in the far north that will illuminate our path in the darkness and lead us to happiness …”
After the female costume student finished speaking, the bar fell into a long period of silence.
After an unknown amount of time, someone suddenly shouted, “Little wildcat, your story touched me. Tonight, I will give you three gold coins.”
“Five, I’ll give you five.” “You poor perverts, scram aside, I’ll give you six!” “Ten old villains, I’ll send ten old villains.”
For a moment, the solemn atmosphere was shattered by the vulgar shouts. Even Tie Zha, who had always been calm, couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
“Brother, I think you’re a character. You can’t just be buried like this. How about this …” The Black Pig King thought for a moment and said, “I’ll take you to see Mu Xingzhe tomorrow. He’s the leader of this place. Perhaps there’s a chance for you two to cooperate. What do you think?”
“Alright.” Tie Zha thought for a while and nodded. According to Ethan’s prompt, the Star Shepherd was a supporter of the Temple of Glory. If he had the conditions, he would have to contact the other party.
After drinking, the Black Pig King kindly invited Tie Zha to the inn beside the bar and picked a beautiful bar girl for him. Because the women here were all worms, although their skin was slightly rough and dry, their entire bodies were filled with a sense of wildness, and they had an unusual charm. However, Iron Slag had already sworn an oath of heartless love, and he had long since looked down on this man and woman.
After leaving the bar, Tie Zha returned to the camp and quickly fell asleep with a bit of drunkenness. After a few years of living in peace, he was accustomed to bathing every day, but now that he was here, bathing became a luxury. At this moment, his entire body was covered in sweat, sour and greasy, making him feel a little uncomfortable. He tried his best to recall how he had come to Tieshan Town when he hadn’t taken a bath for half a year.
He was speechless all night …
The next morning, the Black Pig King arrived at the camp early in the morning, rubbed his father Wade’s breakfast, and took Tie Zha to his private car, a dilapidated Great Wall pickup truck. After twenty minutes of driving, he arrived at the Long Horn stronghold in the middle of the canyon.
Looking around, the cliffs on both sides of the stronghold were relatively close to each other. In front of them was a high wall of half stone and half iron. On the cliffs on both sides, there were many elevators and sentry posts. It was a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Under the leadership of the Black Pig King, Tie Zha quickly entered the meeting hall of the stronghold. This was a cave excavated in the mountain. It was about a thousand square meters. There was a large brazier in the middle, and there were more than ten people standing scattered around.
The Star Shepherd was younger than Tie Zha had imagined. He looked in his early thirties and wore a golden-trimmed white robe. His movements were elegant and calm. Just as the Black Pig King was about to step forward to greet him, he discovered that Starshepherd was chatting with a young man wearing a silver-gray protective suit. He immediately retreated.
“What’s the matter?” Tie Zha asked in a low voice.
“Supervisor” The Black Pig King looked at the people who were talking to Star Shepherd and whispered, “They’re all troublesome people. We’ll come back later.”
However, at this moment, Starshepherd turned around and saw the Black Pig Queen. He immediately nodded and greeted her, “Good morning, respected Black King.”
“Good morning, Mu Xingzhe.” After being discovered, the Black Pig King had no choice but to step forward and greet him.
“Come here, let me introduce you” The Star Shepherd waved his hand at the Black Pig King and looked at the young man beside him. “This is Lord Wu Zhuo, from the Central Continent. He is a great supervisor.”
“Hello, Lord Wu Zhuo.” The Black Pig King walked forward and bowed in greeting.
“I heard your nickname is Black Pig?” Wu Zhuo smiled and asked.
“Yes, Your Excellency.” The Black Pig King replied respectfully. If he offended the inspectors and said that the morals here were corrupt, he would attract the Cleansing Team of the Temple and burn down more than 300,000 people here.
“This nickname really suits you. From the looks of it, you look black and fat. You really look like a pig.” Wu Zhuo said half-jokingly.
“Yes … yes.” The Black Pig King lowered his head and said.
Looking at the humble expression of the former, Tie Zha, who was standing a few meters away, felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. This extraordinarily powerful black man actually bowed in front of this nobody at this moment. He really couldn’t bear to watch any longer and just wanted to turn around and leave. As far as he knew, the status of these inspectors was even lower than that of the Knights Templars’ retainers, but now they were able to be so arrogant and domineering. Who gave them such rights?
“Is that your friend? What kind of pig is that? A skinny pig?” Wu Zhuo pointed at the iron slag and joked. However, this joke was only funny to him, and the person concerned would only feel insulted. At this moment, Tie Zha lowered his head and covered his head with a hood, not daring to reveal his true face. Because these inspectors were the claws of the Temple, he chose to remain silent in the face of Wu Zhuo’s question, hoping that he could lower his profile and reduce the attention of the other party.
“He’s just my follower. He went to look for the box a few days ago, but the skin on his face was rotten.” The Black Pig King responded quickly.
“How bad is it? Can it grow back?” Wu Zhuo asked curiously.
The Black Pig King replied, “This … is hard to say …”
“Hey, come over and show me. I’ve only seen pictures of radiation damage in books. I haven’t seen the real situation yet.” Wu Zhuo pointed at Tie Zha and said. However, in the face of his question, the latter stood motionlessly, neither saying a word nor walking over. Seeing this, Wu Zhuo slowly frowned. This lowly bug actually dared to disrespect his supervisor. It was simply courting death.
“He’s mute, he can’t speak, and his face is full of pus …” The Black Pig King hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
“Am I asking you?” Wu Zhuo looked at the former and asked impatiently.
Tie Zha’s eyes narrowed as he clenched his fists. But he didn’t dare to make a move, even if he only needed a finger to kill this person. He knew that if this inspector died here, the Star Shepherd would find it difficult to deal with the temple’s rage. He could leave, but the 300,000 people living here could not. In the tense atmosphere, Starshepherd, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
“My lord, in order to welcome you, I have specially prepared a sumptuous breakfast. Please move to the lounge and enjoy it.”
“I don’t want to eat it now” Halfway through, Wu Zhuo’s eyes suddenly went straight. Following his gaze, he saw a beautiful young girl carrying a silver breakfast plate and walking towards him leisurely. Not long after, the inspector recovered from his daze. Looking left and right, he coughed slightly and reluctantly followed the girl to the lounge.
Looking at Wu Zhuo’s back, the Black Pig King gritted his teeth and revealed a fierce expression. If he wasn’t afraid of his opponent’s identity, he would have already smashed him into meat sauce with a single punch.
