Last Totem Novel - Chapter 451
Chapter 451 Past
When the two women returned to the shrine, it was already late at night. Lena said that she wanted to find Tie Zha to sing, but she learned from Muyu Ling Lan that Tie Zha and Hui Yan were staying together tonight, so she had to give up. The residence that Mu Yu Ling Lan arranged for Hui Yan was located behind the shrine. It was a small villa in the living area, close to the “Rain Condensation Lake”. There was a small forest beside it. The scenery was pleasant and the environment was elegant.
The villa is divided into three floors. The basement is a wine cellar and storage space. The flat floor is a living room and dining room. There is also a kitchen and a small bar. The second floor is two bedrooms and a study room.
At this moment, the grandfather and grandson were drinking wine in a small bar, chatting with each other for a long time. Meanwhile, Tie Zha asked about the family’s past. Hui Yan hesitated for a while before finally sighing and slowly saying, “Originally, I wanted to bury this memory in my heart and never tell you, because Northas should not live with hatred.”
“But then I thought, as a member of Northas, whether I want to or not, you all have the right to know everything about the past.”
“We, Norse, have lived in the plains east of Boiler City for generations since the Great Ancient Nuclear War.”
“After that war, One-eyed didn’t leave the Northern Desolate Continent as a fire seed. Instead, he chose to stay in the southern part of the Northern Desolate Continent, on the edge of the Temple Diocese, and open up fishing grounds in the coastal areas that were heavily radiated.”
“Just like that, we spent 160 years of peace …”
“At that time, our Ju Clan already has more than 300 people. We have several hectares of fishing grounds and more than ten fishing boats. Although we are not living a prosperous life, everyone is very happy.”
“Unfortunately, over time, the radiation concentrations in our region have declined to safety standards.”
“A wealthy businessman from South City took a fancy to our fishery. He wanted to buy it and transform it into a dock, but we refused.”
“We just want to live a peaceful life and don’t want to move.”
“In order to seize our fishery, he bribed the Temple Organization in South City and asked them to expel us in the name of eliminating the heretics.”
“As for the regional bishops of the Temple, they discovered our identities during the investigation, so the expulsion became extermination.”
“The temple in the south sent dozens of teams to launch a surprise attack on us at dinner time …”
“We retreated as we fought. We escaped to Tieshan Town. We didn’t dare to go north anymore, because after crossing the endless sea of sand, it was our enmity, Lombardi’s land.”
“But now, if we had fled to the north, the outcome would have been much better. According to my understanding, the Golden Duke, You Jiawen, has a gentler personality. Perhaps, he would have let us live …”
“But this is only a hypothesis …”
“The Rain Prayer Sacrifice tried to protect us, but she was powerless. The Moon God Temple sent several official documents requesting her to cooperate with the Temple’s actions. Just as she was in a dilemma, Morton Leylin found me and proposed a plan to me.”
“Morton was one of my classmates in the Central Continent. He was also one of the few people who knew that I was an Origin Energy Cultivator.”
“As for the contents of this plan, I think you have already guessed …”
“I rejected his proposal on the spot, but he carried me behind his back and found our Patriarch, your father.”
At this point, Hui Yan’s voice choked up. “And your father actually agreed …” Tie Zha didn’t say anything, only tightly grabbed his arm.
From beginning to end, Hui Yan did not say what had happened on that snowy night. However, Morton, Brandon, Colin, and the others who had witnessed this with their own eyes were unforgettable in their lives. Although they had never experienced a glorious battle before, they could only learn about that period of history from the words of their predecessors. However, they could see the miniature of the war from this group of Northess. Later, when they heard Hui Yan say, “Every Norse is an army,” they all believed it. This was the glory the Northses had bought with their blood and determination, and they couldn’t help but feel reverence for it.
After a long time, Hui Yan gradually regained its calm. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly said, “Oh right, you have a brother who was sent to the house of a comrade in the Western Continent by Morton because he didn’t have an insect gene when he was a child …” As he said that, Hui Yan took out a photo from his underwear pocket and handed it to Tie Zha. “Look, this is his picture.”
At first glance, the young man in the photograph was sunny, somewhat similar to Tie Zha. It was Hildebrand Sujia.
“I’ve seen him.” Said Tie Zha.
“Ah! Have you seen him?” Hui Yan suddenly jumped up and stood up. He stared at Tie Zha with his eyes wide open as he repeated.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded.
“How’s he doing?” Hui Yan slowly sat down and asked.
“Not bad.” Tie Zha replied.
“He’s over there” Hui Yan hesitated. “Will he be bullied?”
“Grandpa, don’t worry, he’s good at it.” He couldn’t help but laugh when he remembered that Hildebrand had asked him for money for all sorts of reasons at the Stronghold of Meditators.
“That’s good, that’s good” Hui Yan repeated several times, as if he was muttering to himself.
Time passed quietly. Unknowingly, the grandfather and grandson chatted all night. It was only when a wisp of white fish rose from the horizon that they leaned against the sofa and fell asleep.
It was almost noon when Tie Zha was quietly woken up by Mu Yuqinxin, who had climbed through the window, and brought her to the side hall of the Divine Hall.
“Come, this is a small gift from my sister and me.” Mu Yuqin smiled and said. Following her gaze, it was an old mechanical power armor. Its surface was covered in scratches and rust, and its left chest and back were painted with the white “09” word. It looked a bit old. Even so, Tie Zha was able to tell at a glance that this power armor was the “Wilderness Knights” that You Ge had customized for him, and that it had only been deliberately made old.
“Where did you get it?” Tie Zha frowned and asked. He doesn’t want to get involved with You Ge too much, it’s not a good thing for him or her.
Seemingly able to see through his thoughts, Mu Yuqinxin put her hand on his shoulder and told him the whole story. To put it bluntly, this was William Reinhart’s way of showing him goodwill by borrowing the hands of the two sisters. Tie Zha immediately remembered Zhao Wenke’s words and happily accepted the gift. With this power armor, his strength would greatly increase, and he would possess the combat strength of a Saint-ranked expert.
After resting for another day, Tie Zha offered to go to Desert Five and meet Hagrid and the others. On the morning of the third day, Muyu Ling Lan called in a small aircraft to send Tie Zha and Lena to Quicksand Town. Before leaving, Mu Yu Ling Lan stuffed a light blue notebook into Tie Zha, saying that it was the information of the various forces near Crimson Peak Stronghold, and told him to go back and read it carefully.
“Is this a loving journal?” Lena asked sarcastically from the aircraft.
“Do you want to watch it together?” Tie Zha turned to look at her and invited her.
“Still not, I’m afraid I can’t help but kick you out of here.” Lena said.
“It’s fine. Let’s watch together.” Tie Zha grinned as he spread out his notebook and placed it between the two of them.
‘”Don’t look, don’t look” Lena turned her head. However, her mouth said no, and her heart itched uncomfortably. Finally, driven by her curiosity, she couldn’t help but glance at the corner of her eyes, only to see the neat words written on the paper: “Red Scorpion Legion, Commander Luno, one of the former Sand City mercenary corps, moved its headquarters to Windsand Castle in Dr3711. Its business covers a wide range, and there are about 2,000 registered combatants …”
“Why are you looking at the Red Scorpion’s information?” Lena asked curiously.
“They may be our potential competitors, or they may be our future partners.” Said Tie Zha, shaking his notebook.
“The Red Scorpion’s group used to be the clerks of the Fourth Clan of Sand City, but they later joined the Third Clan. Afterwards, they even wanted to join our Cyrus Clan. My father rejected them.” Lena said.
“I really can’t cooperate with you if you repeat it like this.” Tie Zha commented.
‘”Aiyo ~ It’s getting stronger ~” Lena said.
Tie Zha rolled his eyes and continued to read Mu Yu Ling Lan’s notes.
Sakata Industries, Central Continent Company, registered capital of 3 million gold coins …
Sequoia Investment Co., Ltd., Central Continent Company, registered capital of 8 million gold coins, with territory noble background …
The Belle Foundation has a complicated background. It involves seven nobles and four medium-sized companies. Its financing capacity is as high as 20 million gold coins …
Azure Bee Mobile Corps, large-scale mercenary corps, headquartered in Elk City, with about 9,000 registered fighters …
Tie Zha looked at the information seriously. Lena yawned and fell asleep. One day and night later, the aircraft arrived at the apron of Quicksand Town. Hagrid, who had received the notice the day before, drove over in a jeep. After picking up the two of them, he passed through the plane gate and arrived at the office of Cyrus Investment Co., Ltd. On Windsand Castle Commercial Street.
At this time, the office on the second floor of the bakery was decorated with light-colored stalls and some simple furniture. In the office, the two siblings of the Syros met.
“Yo ~ Isn’t this little sister? Why are you here if you don’t stay in the sand sea?” Syris said with a smile.
“Yo ~ Second sister, with your strength, you dare to come out and wander around. Aren’t you afraid of being snatched back as a wife by a wild man?” Lena said tit for tat.
‘”Oh, my little mouth is getting stronger and stronger. Looks like your sheriff in Iron Mountain Town didn’t fall for nothing.” Cyrus changed the topic and said, “Oh, right, I heard that you have a pretty face. Oh, no, I heard that your skin isn’t white yet. It’s a completely black face.”
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional, the face of the person concerned immediately darkens.
“Don’t talk nonsense, or I’ll tear your mouth apart.” Lena threatened in a deep voice as she rolled her eyes and winked at Second Sister.
Cyrus turned his head as he said, and happened to meet Tie Zha’s gaze, which was about to kill him. “Oh, I still dare not admit it. Go to Sand City and ask who doesn’t know that you have a little black …”
“Black” Syris forcefully stopped the last word, then blinked his eyes, revealing a charming smile and said, “Oh, isn’t this Lord Tie Zha?”
Tie Zha looked at her expressionlessly, completely ungrateful.
