Last Totem Novel - Chapter 50
Chapter 50 Courier
That morning, a deep winter northerly wind blew through Tieshan Town with residual snow, blowing the tin roof to the point of howling.
In an instant, thin snow covered the streets and alleys, turning the entire world white.
At this moment, there was a tall and thin middle-aged man sitting in the transmission room of Tieshan Town’s Autonomous Council. He curled up his body and placed a cup of hot tea in front of him, lazily staring ahead. His name was Old Di and he was the vice captain of Tieshan Town’s garrison and the butler of Sheriff Lena. He has nothing to do in winter. So every morning when he woke up, he would make a cup of hot tea and then come here on duty.
He said that he was on duty, but there was actually nothing he could do. He just stared blankly in front of him, looking at the vast expanse of white. At this point in time, most people were still under the blankets, and no one wanted to get up early. Of course, getting up early was useless. Deep in winter in Tieshan Town, there was no chance of making money. If he had to go out at this time, he would definitely not be prepared for the winter. He probably wouldn’t be far from freezing to death.
There was no movement on the streets, as if there were only snowflakes scattered all over the world. Old Di picked up his cup and took a sip of hot tea. Then, he let out a “Ah” sound and exhaled a mouthful of faint white mist. The fog clung to the glass window, blurring the view. At this moment, something seemed to have moved in front of him! He hurriedly put down his teacup and wiped the glass with his sleeve.
In the snowstorm ahead, a blurry figure walked towards him.
That person’s footsteps were firm as he walked step by step on the snow, as if nothing in the world could stop him.
Old Di was knowledgeable and could tell with a glance that he was not simple. That steady and steady pace was not something that an ordinary person could possess. Only after experiencing the trials of blood and fire and seeing all the vicissitudes of life in the world would he be able to take such firm steps.
Even in the distance, he could feel the opponent’s aura. Standing like a pine, sitting like a bell, walking like the wind, this was the kind of person he was talking about.
As time passed, the blurry figure gradually became clear. It was a middle-aged man with a well-proportioned figure. He was wearing a gray tattered hat with a big round brim. It seemed that he was a traveler from afar, because the desert travelers in this area were not dressed in such attire.
The old flute was completely focused on the front, and his body involuntarily tensed up. This extraordinary perception had pulled him back from the edge of life and death countless times.
In the blink of an eye, the travelers in the distance were getting closer and closer …
A pair of shining eyes swept over, and that deep gaze caused Old Di’s entire body to tremble endlessly. This was a person who had truly walked out of the sea of sabers, mountains, and flames!
In his apprehension, the traveller came to the reception room, patted the window, and introduced himself, “Northern Messenger, ask to see Lena Euclid.” His voice wasn’t loud, but it was so loud and powerful that it made it impossible for anyone to refuse.
“May I ask what is the matter?” Old Di asked cautiously.
“Deliver the letter.” Answered the traveller.
“Just leave it to me.” Old Di explained, “This is the transmission room of the Autonomous Society. It is responsible for collecting all letters.”
“I came on foot from the end of the world to personally deliver the letter to Lena Euclid.” The traveller nodded slightly and pleaded, “Please convey the determination of the northern messenger.”
“Lena is the chairman of the Autonomous Council of Tieshan Town. Not everyone can see her. You have to explain your intentions before I can arrange a meeting.” Old Di insisted.
The traveler smiled and gently placed his hand on the glass window. At this moment, the glass window was filled with tiny cracks! Old Di stared at him with wide eyes and said in a trembling voice, “What are you doing! This … This is the territory of the Sand City Garrison, what … are you doing!”
“Deliver the letter.” The traveller withdrew his hand and said indifferently.
Old Di frowned and struggled for a long time. Finally, he gave up and went in to inform Lena. This move of the traveller had fully demonstrated his unparalleled martial power. At least in Tieshan Town, no one was his match.
A few minutes later, Lena met the traveler in her office.
The traveler took out a long and thin paper cylinder from his undergarment pocket and handed it to Lena solemnly. After handing over the letter, the traveler turned around and left without stopping.
“Do you want to check first?” Looking at the back of the traveler, Old Flute suggested.
“No need.” Lena narrowed her slender eyes and said, “If he wanted to harm someone, he would have already attacked just now. No one here is his opponent.” After saying that, Lena carefully examined the paper cylinder in her hand.
The carton was made of kraft paper. This craft was very old and no one used it now. He twisted open the lid of the paper, and inside was an old yellow scroll tied with red silk, revealing an indescribable vicissitude.
Lena and Old Di exchanged a glance. Neither of them was able to guess the contents of the letter.
Opening the scroll, the two of them were shocked at the same time. This was actually an invitation letter from the temple!
A few months ago, Lena sent an aluminium lunch box with the Sacred Wolf badge to the Ancient Temple, hoping that the Temple could verify the authenticity of the lunch box and learn about Tie Zha’s background. He did not expect that the temple would send such a letter in winter without a reply.
The letter sincerely invited the owner of the Divine Wolf Badge to receive a three-year training at the Northern Divine Temple, including two years in the North and one year at the Central Silver City Military Academy.
This was an opportunity that everyone dreamed of. If they studied at the Central Silver City Military Academy, even if they didn’t have a diploma, their status and status would greatly increase!
Looking at the simple words, Lena couldn’t help but think.
Will he still remember me that day?
Just as Lena thought of someone, there was someone in the Rain Prayer Temple of Silver City 13 who thought the same thing.
Flames flickered in the study room of the shrine, and the thick oak cabinets reflected a warm orange light. Beside the stove sat a dignified goddess. She leaned one hand against the armrest of the sofa and supported her fair face. Her other hand casually flipped through the books on the armrest.
Her gaze did not have any focus. Obviously, she was not reading a book, but thinking about something.
At this time, a black-robed nun walked over and whispered to the goddess on the sofa, “Sir, the Soros Second Young Master invited you to attend tonight’s birthday party. He is waiting at the door now. You mean …”
The goddess looked at the flames in front of her and said indifferently, “Ling Lan is the maid of the Rain God. She will serve the Rain God for the rest of her life. Let him go back.”
“But … he has been waiting at the door for three hours. Can you meet him face to face …”
Mu Yu Ling Lan raised her head and smiled faintly at the nun. She knew that this nun must have taken advantage of the other party, otherwise she wouldn’t have said so much.
“Alright …”
Looking at the persistent gaze of the goddess, the nun sighed and bowed before turning around to leave.
After the nun left, Mu Yu Ling Lan stood up and ordered in the corner of the study, “Xiaoqing, prepare the car.”
Just as she finished speaking, a girl with short hair walked over from the shadows and smiled at her. “Sister Ling Lan, are you going to see the snow again?” The orange-red flames reflected the beautiful face of the young girl. That smile was both beautiful and somewhat bad …
“Yes.” Mu Yulan nodded.
“Are you going to see my sister’s sweetheart?” The young girl revealed an innocent expression and asked stupidly. But anyone with good eyesight could tell that she was faking it!
‘”Ling Lan is Rain God’s maidservant, there is no sweetheart” Mu Yu Ling Lan replied indifferently, but the young girl interrupted her and shouted coquettishly, “I am also Rain God’s maidservant!”
“Together, we are bathed in the grace of the Rain God.” The goddess said piously.
“Sister, do you think Rain God will bless the little girl who lied?” The girl asked aggressively.
“Almighty God will forgive all sins.” “Including guilt?” “Everything.” “Does that include blushing and heartbeat?”
“Alright, you’re right, but we can’t talk about this anymore.” The goddess finally couldn’t hold back and admitted it, but she continued, “I’m not from the same world as him. I can’t bring danger to him.”
“Do you like him?” “I don’t know … Seeing him, I will remember everything that happened when I was young, and I will also remember my mother.” “But why are you so kind to him?”
“Am I nice to him? So far, I’ve only given him two pieces of cheese bread, and it’s still mass-produced …”
“They said you blessed his Guardian Knight.”
“Is there?” Mu Yu Ling Lan’s eyes were filled with confusion, as if this was really a rumor.
“What they said” the girl replied timidly.
“Xiaoqing, as a preparatory priest of the Rain God, you should read more books when you are free, not talk to women in the mortal world.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said seriously with a stern face.
After saying that, Xiaoqing fled the study and hurriedly went to the basement to retrieve the car.
A few minutes later, Mu Yu Ling Lan walked out of the back door of the Divine Hall of Prayer for Rain. A pure white car drove over, and then she got in and headed north. Not long after, the white car arrived at the northern edge of Silver City 13.
This is a paradise in summer and a graveyard in winter. In the summer, the residents of Silver City liked to come here for picnics. They blew cool wind, ate delicious food, and looked at the crowd on the ground. In winter, they prefer to gossip around a warm stove.
There was heavy snow in the sky. Mu Yu Ling Lan got off the car and walked to the edge of the city. Looking down from here, the ground was a vast expanse of white, as if everything in the world had been buried by ice and snow.
She stared into the distance, as if she could pierce through the dancing snowflakes in the sky. She saw that mountain, saw that person …
“It’s so cold.” Xiaoqing wrapped his clothes tightly and squeezed towards Mu Yu Ling Lan.
“If we feel cold, then his world will definitely be even colder.”
“He won’t be cold. I heard he’s going to be rich, at least on the ground.” Xiaoqing suddenly said.
“Rich? What rich man?”
“Uh … I just heard … maybe I heard wrongly …” Xiao Qing realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed her mind.
Looking at Xiaoqing’s wandering gaze, Mu Yu Ling Lan felt a deep chill. Although Xiaoqing liked to gossip with the nuns, she wouldn’t say anything she shouldn’t. This was the basic quality of a preparatory priest. But now, Xiaoqing seemed to be hiding something. As for Tie Zha, he was just an ordinary person on the ground, so it was impossible for him to attract the attention of Silver City. How could news of him reach Silver City No. 13?
Just who was paying attention to him and why?
