Last Totem Novel - Chapter 379
Chapter 379 Recruitment
“Wine, meat, women!” The Black Pig King roared in the empty bar. The owner of the bar was quickly woken up and hurriedly put on a coat before rushing down.
“This guest is really early.” The boss greeted him sleepily.
“Pa!” After seeing the boss, the Black Pig King did not say anything. He directly auctioned out two atonement coins and shouted, “Go get some food!”
“Immediately …” The boss put away the money with a smile and went to the kitchen to prepare food. Not long after, the boss cut up the beef and bread and served a large glass of ale.
“Woman.” The Black Pig King ate and auctioned off two more atonement coins.
The boss nodded and bowed. A few minutes later, he called three sleepy bar girls downstairs.
Faced with three young girls in pajamas, good looks, shiny skin, and a curvaceous figure, the Black Pig King shook his head and frowned, “No, let’s switch to another batch.”
The boss was shocked. The three of them were the prettiest in his bar. It was because he saw that Big Black Fatty had made a generous move that he called the three of them down at the same time.
‘”Humph ~” “Cut ~” “Bah ~” The three girls all expressed their disdain for the Black Pig King. Then, they twisted their butts and went upstairs, returning to their rooms to recover their sleep.
Not long after, the boss called the three bar girls down. The Black Pig King only took a glance and said, “Too thin, change the batch.” After that, the boss called a few more girls down, but the Black Pig King was still unsatisfied. In the end, the boss really had no one to call, so he could only call down the three fat girls who were eating here. As a result, the moment the three fat girls came down, Big Black Fatty’s eyes went straight, “Clang!” He couldn’t even grasp the fork steadily. The owner of the bar once again saw what “vegetables and radishes have their own merits” meant.
A few minutes later, the Black Pig King finished eating and wiped his mouth. Then, he carried the three fat girls to the second floor and started a room war.
Hearing the heavy breathing sound from the next room, Tie Zha and Hagrid exchanged a glance. At the same time, they touched their foreheads. Then, they closed the doors and windows and went downstairs. After breakfast, Hagrid asked the bar owner for a small blackboard, wrote down the recruitment information in chalk, and hung it at the entrance of the bar.
“Are the people here reliable?” Tie Zha asked in a low voice. The bad reputation of an insecticide was not without foundation. As an insecticide, one naturally understood the flaws of an insecticide.
“Better than the north.” Hagrid answered, and went on to explain in detail.
Although this was a typical gathering place for criminals in the middle of the high-radiation zone, the relationship between insecticides was less tense than in the sewage river basin.
There were three reasons for this. Firstly, all the insecticides that could come here were not simple. They had at least the combat power of a Silver Intermediate or above. Otherwise, they would have died halfway through the journey. Under normal circumstances, people are reluctant to find someone with the same strength, because this will increase the risk of failure.
Second, high-powered insecticides usually possessed multiple insecticide abilities, which meant that plundering his abilities would pose a great risk. Because absorbing multiple mutated gene fragments at once would not only increase the probability of gene chain flocculation, but would also force them to absorb abilities that were not suitable for themselves, buggers would usually find a single target to attack.
Third, epic and legendary abilities that possess “inheritance” attributes that increase the stability of the gene chain and cover other insecticidal abilities are usually highly concealed and undetectable.
As he spoke, a strong man in his forties walked into the bar and sat down at the table. But he wasn’t here to apply. He was a friend that Hagrid had brought from Sandstorm Castle. He had made an appointment yesterday.
“Hank, this is my brother Tie Zha.” Hagrid introduced.
“Hello, brother.” Hank greeted Tie Zha.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded. Hagrid had told him last night that Hank was a traditional and insectivated evolutionist, but his muscles had shrunk and he looked older than he really was because he had been consuming Jack for so many years.
“You stay here and guard the supplies.” Hagrid tossed Hank the key to the room upstairs. The latter took the key and went to the second floor without saying anything.
After a while, a burly man wearing a second-generation psionic power armor pushed open the door and walked in. He was also a friend of Hagrid’s. His name was Tang De. He was a Tier 5 Spirit Bug Envoy and also consumed Jack. After introducing himself to each other, Tang De took the initiative to shake hands with Tie Zha and sat to the side without saying a word.
Next, until the bar officially opened, no one came in. It seemed that it was very difficult to recruit hunters at this time of year.
The waiters returned to the bar one after another to work from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. When Lilith saw the recruitment information at the door, she went to the table and asked to join. After returning last night, she thought a lot and decided to try other ways of making money than stealing. After all, stealing was not a solution. There would always be times when she would fail.
“Little friend, the depths of the cemetery are very dangerous. It’s not suitable for you.” Hagrid refused.
“You guys have seen my ability. I can be a scout for the team.” Lilith said.
“I think you should understand that many creatures don’t need eyes.” Hagrid reminded.
‘”Apart from last night, I’ve never failed …” Lilith sighed and said, “I’m not lucky enough to run into two monsters. There’s nothing I can do about it.”
“We need soldiers, we don’t need sentries.” Hagrid spread out his hands and said.
‘”You need someone to keep watch, don’t you?” Said Lilith. Through what happened last night, she felt that both of them had good character. If it was someone else, they would probably not let her leave so easily, and it would definitely be necessary for them to ravage her.
“You want to keep watch?” Tie Zha, who had been silent all this while, suddenly turned his head and asked as he stared at Lilith.
“That’s right. Then we have to send someone to keep an eye on you. How tiring.” “I… I won’t have any ideas about you.” “Give me a reason to believe you?”
‘”Because I’m cute ~” Lilith thought for a moment and crossed her waist.
“See you later.” Tie Zha said indifferently.
“You’ve made me unemployed. You should at least give me a new job, right?” Lilith said.
‘”Mm” Tie Zha thought for a moment and turned to look at Hagrid. The latter immediately took the message and said, “Our team doesn’t need women.”
After being rejected, Lilith lowered her head in disappointment, but did not leave immediately. After hesitating for a while, she suddenly raised her head and said hesitantly, “Actually …” She looked a little awkward and did not say the second half of the sentence for a long time, as if she was at war with the heavens and humans, making a major decision.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and said resolutely, “Actually, I’m a man.”
“What!”
In an instant, Hagrid was petrified, and even Tie Zha, who was drinking tea, almost spat out a mouthful of water.
“I’m a man, just like you.” Lilith said calmly.
“This” Hagrid was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. After a while, he turned to Tang De and instructed, “Go and see if what she said is true.”
Tang De said gloomily, “Boss, just let me go.”
Seeing this, Hagrid could only say, “Well, if we really can’t find anyone, we’ll bring you along.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lilith smiled and bowed. “Thank you, boss ~” she said sweetly.
“If you want to thank him, thank him.” Hagrid glanced at Tie Zha and said, “You young people can talk more.”
‘”Thank you boss ~” Lilith bowed to Tie Zha again, looking exceptionally obedient.
Looking at this slippery little demon, Tie Zha said angrily, “Just be honest.”
In the next few hours, the three of them continued to wait for the candidates, but after a few hours, no one came. “Hagrid,” the bartender advised at lunch, “don’t try to hire anybody at this time of the year. Think of something else as soon as possible.” On the one hand, not many hunters are willing to go out in winter; On the other hand, the goal of this operation was to search and rescue, not to make money. Few people were willing to do business that was not profitable and could even lose their lives if they knew that there was danger.
“Let’s take another look.” Hagrid said.
However, as if confirming the bartender’s words, they still hadn’t found a single person in the middle of the night.
The next day, Hagrid took Tie Zha to the meeting hall of the Blackwater Lake stronghold. The supreme leader here is Blood Eagle Zangwell of the Scarlet Rain. He is the Earth Walker of the Fire Family’s Rain of the City.
“He is not a qualified Earth Walker.” Before coming here, Hagrid commented,
Looking at the flames, Blood Eagle was wearing a golden-rimmed red robe and a headband, making him look both mysterious and luxurious.
“Friend, I hope I can get your help.” Hagrid stepped forward and pleaded.
“I’m sorry, your search and rescue operation is not within our responsibility.” Blood Hawk immediately refused. Hagrid had already done it twice, and his answer was still the same.
“As an Earthwalker, you have an obligation to save people in danger.” Hagrid said righteously.
“We are not the Saviors, we are just Awakened ones, not to mention …” Blood Eagle paused and said, “You don’t define my duties.”
“You are a selfish person who only cares about yourself.” Hagrid criticized.
“You’re right. I’m such a person. What’s wrong?” Blood Eagle wasn’t angry, he just smiled and asked back.
“You!” Hagrid clenched his fists and glared at the former.
“It’s human nature to be selfish. I’m just following my heart. Is there anything wrong?” Blood Eagle continued to ask.
Hagrid roared angrily as he listened to Heart Execution, “You’ve forgotten our traditions. You’re simply not worthy of being a glorious fire seed!”
“Whether I am or not, it’s not your turn to judge!” Blood Eagle gritted his teeth and roared back.
In an instant, the ballista in the meeting hall was pulled out, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
“Old friend, give me some help. I only need twenty people.” After a moment of confrontation, Hagrid’s tone softened.
“Unless you recruit me in the name of Lightning Hammer, you will never be able to point fingers at me.” Blood Eagle said firmly. After he finished speaking, he shook his hand and ordered the guests to leave. “You go …”
