Last Totem Novel - Chapter 493
Chapter 493 Clearance
In late August, the early autumn breeze carried a trace of coolness as it passed through the vast ocean, across the endless mountains, and blew across the verdant land of the Far East.
Because most of the cities here were built in the basin, the seasons were like spring. Even in winter, it was still lush, verdant, and green, not to mention it was autumn.
At this moment, at the foot of the group of mountains, in a small park near the War Bear Temple in the ancient capital, two neatly dressed, well-proportioned and somewhat similar-looking young men stood by the lake, staring fixedly at the gate of the park. One of them was holding popcorn in his arms, the other was holding ice cream in his hand, looking forward to it, as if he was waiting for someone.
The cool breeze blew past and the weeping willows by the lake shook gently. The reflection in the lake was like a woman with soft waist, dancing, her sleeves flying, graceful, graceful, and graceful.
A few minutes later, the two youths suddenly stretched their necks and were overjoyed. Following their gazes, they saw a white dress floating towards them, appearing in front of the park gate. She walked steadily and peacefully, like a fairy who didn’t eat the fireworks in the world, leisurely and leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, the girl walked up to the two of them and smiled sweetly at them. When she smiled, two dimples appeared on her white and red face. They were indescribably sweet and refreshing. In an instant, the weeping willows on the lakeside paled and turned into green leaves that set her off.
“It’s not early.” “I just arrived.” The two youths said at the same time and couldn’t help but glance at each other.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting.” The girl said seriously, but there was no real apology in her rippling eyes. On the contrary, there was a trace of cunning hidden in her eyes.
“No …” “No … nothing …” The two of them said at the same time again. Then, they frowned and looked at each other, looking very unhappy.
‘”Haha ~” The girl pursed her lips and smiled. In an instant, it was like the clouds blooming to see the moon brightly, and the flowers blooming brilliantly.
“I bought you popcorn …” The two of them handed over their items at the same time, but in the end, they moved and squeezed together.
“What?” “Why should I ask you?” The two of them glared at each other angrily, not giving way to each other.
Seeing this, the girl grabbed the popcorn, took the ice cream, rolled her eyes at them, and said with a hint of anger, “You’re not young anymore, why are you still fighting?”
“Humph!” The two of them exchanged a glance and then looked away at each other at the same time, as if they were extremely disdainful of each other. One of them was called Chi Nu, the other was called Tianchang. He was a cousin, and they were all Martial Monks from the War Bear Divine Temple. As for this graceful girl with a fluttering dress, her name was Wu Mu Cang Lan. She was one of the ten great elders of the War Bear Temple, Elder Wu Mu’s granddaughter.
The three of them had grown up together and studied together since they were young, but now, with their age, their love affair had just begun to open, and the gap between them had also quietly arisen.
Looking at the two brothers who were unhappy with each other, Wu Mu Cang Lan felt a headache. Normally, they were cold and indifferent people, but every time they came together, they would become like children, fighting endlessly.
There is an ancient word in the Far East. It is written with the pronunciation “bad”, which means entanglement and anger. Imagine two men fighting for a woman, can you be happy? However, she didn’t want to hurt anyone. Accepting one meant rejecting the other. They were all good men, and she couldn’t bear to see any of them sad and lonely, but this softness made the conflict between them bigger and bigger.
“Alright, alright, stop messing around ~” Ebony Canglan said as she turned her head to the side and walked along the lake bank towards the park while eating popcorn and ice cream.
The two brothers followed behind one on the left and one on the right, but they did not say a word. They were usually quiet people, and only when they were in front of her would they become more lively.
“I’m going to play a motorcycle game today ~” she announced.
“Yes.” “Alright.” The two brothers nodded at the same time, then looked at each other with contempt.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing along the strands of hair behind her ears. The faint fragrance immediately entered her nose, causing people to daydream.
In this situation, if he could gently caress her slender waist, walk beside the clear water, and linger under the weeping willows, how beautiful would it be? Almost at the same time, they thought that if the other party wasn’t here, it would be even better …
“Kuang, kuang, kuang …”
Suddenly, a hurried sound of metal rubbing came from above. Raising his eyes, he saw a metal carriage swiftly pass through the tracks above, then circled around, and then drilled into the dense woods.
“I want to play that!” Wu Mu Cang Lan pointed upwards and shouted excitedly. This is a game called the Old Era, called “Flying Rats in the Forest,” which builds trails in the woods and then rides a tin carriage to see the scenery in the garden. Because it was too old, it could be traced back to before the Ancient Era’s Great Nuclear War. The Western Continent had long since been eliminated and replaced with an even more beautiful oval-shaped electric vehicle.
Afterwards, the three of them went to the ticket office of the mobile game and bought three tickets. Then, they walked onto the blue painted iron shelves and were about to take the tin carriage when they discovered a serious problem.
There are only two seats in the car …
At this time, Chi Nu fully displayed his elder brother’s demeanor.
“Eighth Brother, sit down.” Chi Nu said generously.
“What about you?” Tianchang asked vigilantly, “Wait for the next one?”
Chi Nu looked at Tianchang and suddenly grinned. Then, he bowed and jumped, “Kuang!” With a loud sound, his legs naturally spread out and he steadily stood on the lid of the metal carriage. Then, he pointed forward and said, “Drive!” Although it was dangerous to stand in this position, it was nothing to a War Bear Martial Monk.
Tianchang snorted and jumped onto the iron lid at the back of the car. He stood with his hands crossed over his chest and didn’t want to sit down.
“Kuang, kuang, kuang …”
The flying rat in the forest slowly started moving, but neither of them allowed anyone to stand upright.
At this moment, a little boy happened to pass by. Seeing the two people standing on the tin carriage, he immediately pulled his mother and shouted, “Mom, look, they are so powerful!”
The mother took a look, then frowned and whispered, “Don’t copy them, they’re all crazy.”
“Handsome guys, I know you guys are amazing. Don’t be so stinky and beautiful, okay?” Wu Mu Cang Lan scolded angrily, “Sit down, you guys are blocking my view of the scenery!” The two of them stood one behind the other, not to mention whether it was dangerous or not, she couldn’t see anything at all.
The metal carriage was rapidly shuttling through the forest, and the whistling sound of wind could be heard beside his ears, incomparably straightforward and straightforward. Only at this moment did the two of them slowly sit down. However, they did not go to the seat beside Ebony Azure Water. Instead, they stayed on the hood of the car.
A few minutes later, the thrilling journey in the jungle finally ended. Ebony Azure Water pointed at the large wheel that towered into the clouds in the distance and shouted, “I want to ride the Ferris Wheel.” In order to avoid a fight between the two brothers, she made a new request, “One person, one time, sit separately.”
“Yes.” “Alright.” The two brothers naturally had no objections to being alone with the girl in their dreams. Of course, he didn’t dare to object.
“I’m older than you. I’ll go first.” This time, Chi Nu didn’t have any awareness of being his elder brother.
“Flip a coin.” Tianchang remained unmoved and said indifferently.
“My word.” “Alright.”
After a simple negotiation, Ding! With a soft sound, a silver coin flew out of Tianchang’s hand along the parabola and landed on the smooth marble floor, spinning rapidly.
The two of them crossed their chests and watched quietly. In an instant, the air seemed to freeze, and an icy aura arose spontaneously.
When the little boy saw the two of them, he couldn’t help but feel a little curious. He was about to go forward to watch, but his mother pulled him away.
“Both of them are crazy. Don’t get too close.” The boy’s mother whispered as she quickly walked away.
As the speed of the coins gradually slowed down, the atmosphere became even more solemn. It was as if in the next moment, the two of them would suddenly explode and fight to the death. Finally, the coin swayed a few times before lying on the ground. On the upper side was a circle of words written in the ancient noble language, “World Council”, “Holy Light and Holy Song”, “Flowers and Glory”.
Tianchang stretched out his hand and casually made a “please” gesture.
“Thank you.” Chi Nu grinned, raised his hair, and then nodded in greeting. Then, under the gaze of Tianchang, he and Ebony Canglan entered the cockpit of the Ferris Wheel.
Not long after, the ferris wheel slowly rotated, bringing the two of them into the air. Looking out the window at the green mountains and rivers, Chi Nu’s mood was exceptionally comfortable. At this moment, the beauty was at the side, her eyes were as bright as water and as faint as smoke. For a moment, he was dumbfounded.
Aware of his gaze, Wu Mu Cang Lan’s face flushed slightly. She bit her lips and angrily said, “Haven’t you seen enough after all these years?”
“Yes.” Chi Nu subconsciously nodded, and then realized that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly denied, “No … no …”
“Oh ~” Ebony Azure Water’s beautiful eyes rolled and she said faintly, “That’s enough. Don’t you want to see it again?”
‘”No, no, no … I didn’t mean that …” Chi Nu hurriedly said, his forehead covered in sweat.
Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Ebony Azure Water smiled sweetly. It was as if a hundred flowers were blooming, and the ice and snow were melting, but she didn’t say anything.
“What do you think” Chi Nu suddenly asked after a moment of silence, “How is that Tianchang guy?”
“Very good ~” Ebony Azure Water said casually.
“What’s so good about it? His brain is very simple, too simple, and he likes to snore at night.” Chi Nu took the opportunity to report.
However, just as he finished speaking, a voice sounded from above.
“It sounds like you don’t snore.”
Immediately after, a figure rolled down and rushed in through the window. Seeing that it was Tianchang, he climbed up the roof of the cabin through the side door after the two of them entered the cockpit. When he heard Chi Nu speak ill of him, he finally couldn’t help but speak.
At the beginning, Chi Nu’s attention was focused on Ebony Azure Water, and he didn’t notice anything unusual. However, when he reached mid-air, he heard the commotion above and immediately guessed the reason.
“Northas has no tradition of eavesdropping.” Chi Mu said indifferently.
“Well, we Northas don’t have a tradition of speaking ill of people behind our backs.” Tianchang replied indifferently.
Seeing the two brothers start to fight again, Wu Mu Cang Lan couldn’t help but sigh and look out of the window.
After getting off the ferris wheel, the two brothers did not speak anymore, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive. Wu Mu Cang Lan could only say that she was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest.
Half an hour later, the three of them left the park. After arriving near the War Bear Temple, Wu Mu Cang Lan went straight home, while Chi Nu and Tianchang returned to the temple.
The two walked silently through the large square in front of the temple. They looked up and saw a sturdy man standing on the huge stone steps. He crossed his chest with both hands, his gaze like a sword, staring at them.
“Second brother!” The two of them shouted at the same time, sweeping away the haze on their faces and quickly approaching.
“Old Six, Old Eight.” Hagrid said with a gentle smile. He had just arrived from the Ancient Temple and had already asked the Ancient Prophet to help recruit skilled workers from the Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries.
In addition, there was one more thing he needed them to do.
Hagrid cut to the chase after a brief chat between the three brothers.
“Eighth Brother, go back and rest first. I have a few words to say to Sixth Brother. I’ll come find you later.” Hagrid said.
“Yes.” Tianchang nodded and left.
A moment later, Chi Nu followed Hagrid up the stone steps and passed through the six halls before arriving in front of the Bear Temple’s sacred flame.
Looking at the burning flame, Hagrid remained silent for a long time. He untied his fangs and placed them by the brazier. Then, he took out another badge and placed it beside the sword.
“Sixth Brother” Hagrid turned around and stared at Chi Nu. The latter nodded his head forcefully and slowly said, “I’ve been working for Fifth Brother recently. I may not be able to fulfill my responsibilities as a Earthwalker for a long time.”
“Even though there aren’t many of us here …”
“But as a brilliant fire seed, we cannot shirk our responsibility.”
“So …”
“I need a volunteer to walk the vast land and spread the glory of the Holy Flame.”
“Chenu Northess, I’ll give you three days to make your decision.”
“I will stay here for the next three days. Come and find me if you want to.”
“But remember, I need volunteers, not responsible people.”
“Because in this world, no one can force you to go, and no one has the right …”
“This is just a choice to face your heart. If you still have anything to worry about, I won’t recommend you to go.” Hagrid said solemnly, then waved his hand. “Chinu Northess, I’m done. You can go back and rest now.”
For a moment, a monstrous wave surged in Chi Nu’s heart.
Could it be …
Is it time to leave?
Suddenly, the dress that moved with the wind gradually appeared in front of him. The brilliance was blurry, like a dream.
Like a tide of longing surged into his heart, drowning him in the vast ocean.
He did not know how he walked out of the hall, nor did he know how he returned to the dormitory …
Time became incomparably slow, as if every minute, every second, had passed exceptionally long.
After an unknown period of time, it was as if he had experienced a cycle of life and death. When he raised his head, the dawn shone out of the window sill and quietly sprinkled on the rusty shelf bed.
What caught his eyes were neat blankets, pure white sheets, meticulous military robes, and the War Bear’s badge …
