Last Totem Novel - Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Zither Heart
Under Mu Yu Ling Lan’s gaze, Xiaoqing finally told the truth. A few days ago, she went to the auction house. Originally, she wanted to compete for an ancient book, but she accidentally heard of something.

Someone sent a Golden Sandworm egg to Silver City 13!

The consignment was Lena Euclid, the police chief of Iron Mountain Town, and this golden sandworm egg was said to have been found by a hunter named Iron Dregs. Little Qing heard people talking about this name at the auction. When she came back, she remembered that Priest Lily of the Valley’s little companion was called Tie Zha.

“I heard that a Golden Sandworm egg can sell for four to five thousand gold coins. He will soon become rich.”

Xiaoqing said excitedly, but Mu Yu Ling Lan’s expression became more and more serious. She remembered a sentence, “Keep your valuables hidden so that no one can see them. Otherwise, they will steal your things.”

This was what Tie Zha had said to her many years ago. She had always remembered it, but he had forgotten it.

“Xiaoqing, I want to go to the ground.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said seriously.

“Ah … why? If you leave the temple without permission, the priests will scold us.”

Mu Yu Ling Lan’s voice became softer and softer, and gradually turned into a murmur to herself, “I have to go there and let him quickly leave. There is a saying in the ancient east …” “Jun Ben is innocent, Huai Bi is guilty.”

“Big sister, the priests have not returned from their pilgrimage to Turin City (Central Silver City, Silver City No. 1). You are the highest official of the Divine Hall of Prayer for Rain, you cannot leave …”

“He’s in danger. I must go.”

Looking at Priest Ling Lan’s determined gaze, Xiaoqing sighed and said, “How about … let me go.”

“You’re going?” “En, big sister, please rest assured. Xiao Qing will not snatch a man from big sister.” “You …”

“No!” Xiaoqing patted his chest and promised.

“Alright, bring along the two red-robed warriors. Be careful on the way.” Mu Yu Ling Lan gently patted away the snow on Xiaoqing’s shoulder and instructed, “Don’t be playful, quickly go back.”

Xiao Qing smiled and nodded her head. She lengthened her voice and said, “Mm ~”

Afterwards, the two drove back to the Divine Hall. Muyu Linglan returned to the study room. Xiaoqing went to the side hall of the Divine Hall to arrange for the guards.

The structure of Notre Dame is very special compared to other religious organizations. Female psionic practitioners predominated, but there weren’t many women skilled in combat, so they also absorbed a large number of male believers as regular troops. Notre Dame’s guards were generally divided into “warriors” or “cultivators.” Those who were skilled in using psionic power armor were called warriors, while those who were skilled in psionic storms were called cultivators.

The warriors and cultivators were divided into three grades based on their combat experience, psionic strength, and internal potential, ranging from the lowest grade [Grey Robe] to the highest grade [Red Robe].

Usually, red-robed warriors are symbols of the highest level of force in the regular forces of Notre Dame.

Xiaoqing casually flipped through the roster in the side hall and made two calls. Not long after, the two red-robed warriors entered the side hall. They wore uniform red armor, golden crosses printed on their chests, and red cloaks floating behind their backs.

After arriving at the scene, the two of them bowed to Xiaoqing neatly. One of them asked, “Lord Quasi-Priest, what can I do for you?”

“Please call me Shadow Priest.” Xiaoqing said indifferently.

The warrior was first shocked, and then whispered, “Divine Priest Qin Xin, this is the first time you’ve called us up as Divine Priests of Shadows. Can you speak somewhere else?”

“No need, there’s no one else here.” She then explained, “This living room is the liaison room of the new Dark Shadow Division. Secrecy has been installed.”

“I’m sorry, Lord Dark Shadow Priest. This is the first time you’ve recruited us. We thought … we thought …”

“You think I’m a little girl who doesn’t know anything?” Xiaoqing said coldly.

“No … that’s not what we meant …”

“There’s no need to explain. Just focus on the mission.”

The red-robed warrior nodded and asked, “Our mission this time is …”

“Kill a person.” Xiaoqing said calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. “The target is a male. He is based on a short mountain south of Tieshan Town. He is about 17 or 18 years old. He is of medium height. He usually uses a 1.2-meter long straight machete, an old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun, and possibly a large-calibre Merlin revolver.”

“We still need names and photographs.” The red-robed warrior said.

“No need. You guys are following me this time to protect me in name, but you’re actually following me to kill people, understand?”

“Yes!” The two red-robed warriors answered in unison.

“You still have an hour to prepare. Go.” After saying that, Xiaoqing waved his hand coldly, indicating for them to step down.

Seeing the two red-robed warriors leave, Xiaoqing took a deep breath and muttered to himself, “Sister, I’m sorry …”

Just now, she lied to Mu Yu Ling Lan one after another.

In fact, Lena did not place the eggs of the golden sandworm in Silver City 13 for consignment, nor did she leak any information.

Little Qing’s information came from a few garrison members who had followed Iron Slag into the sand sea. They had accidentally leaked the information during their chat. The so-called auction was completely fabricated by Xiao Qing, and its purpose was to make Mu Yuling Lan send her down to find the iron slag.

On the day of giving, Mu Yu Ling Lan blessed the Guardian Knight to Tie Zha. This matter quickly spread to the Rain Prayer Sacrifice. For many years, the Rain Prayer Sacrifice had viewed Muyu Ling Lan as the next sacrifice of the Divine Hall. However, this successor still seemed to have a knot in his heart. Sometimes, he would inexplicably sink into a daze. Until this moment, the Rain Prayer Priest finally understood where Mu Yu Ling Lan’s heart was.

She sent people to investigate the background of the “Guardian Knight”. He soon discovered that the other party was just a gangster. Although he was somewhat powerful, he was far inferior to the white-robed warriors of the Divine Hall, let alone the red-robed warriors.

An insignificant ant shouldn’t be a stumbling block for the Colossus.

There are always times when one is young, and when one is young, one always likes something illusory.

Years later, when I look back, I will realize how childish I was back then …

This was the idea of praying for rain, so she decided to eliminate Muyu Ling Lan’s inner demons, so that she could develop her heart without any nearby herons.

She asked Xiao Qing to take charge of this matter and let the iron slag leave Tieshan Town forever, or disappear forever …

Xiao Qing’s true identity was the Shadow Priest of the Divine Hall of Prayer Rain. In past dynasties, there were two priests in the Divine Hall of Prayer for Rain. One was standing in the sunlight while the other was hiding in the darkness. Because the previous Shadow Priest had died of illness, Xiao Qing had inherited the Shadow faction’s power earlier.

The Rain Prayer Priest poured all his effort into them. She swore that she would never marry, that she would have no children, that she would only have them …

One was called Muyu Linglan, the other was called Muyu Qinxin.

Therefore, she would never allow anyone to ruin their future …

Mu Yuqinxin (Xiaoqing) did not disappoint the Rain Prayer Sacrificial Priest. After taking over the Shadow Element, she had already fully proved her ability.

She made a flawless plan for this incident. Apart from personally looking for Tie Zha, she also had a backup plan.

Just now, the deputy commander of Silver City Military Base 13, Leylin Karl, the fourth young master of the Leylin Clan, received an anonymous email. The letter intentionally or unintentionally revealed that Tie Zha, the person who injured the mechanic, had accidentally picked up a golden sand worm egg …

After reading the email, Leylin Carr called a sturdy lieutenant to his office and asked, “I gave the troublemaker a business card that day and invited him to join the Silver City Guard, but he never replied to me. What do you think?”

‘”Bah!” The lieutenant scolded, “This kind of person’s brain is crooked. He doesn’t even know what’s good for him. Why don’t I bring a few brothers over and teach him a lesson? Skinny Monkey is still lying in bed and can’t get off. This matter can’t be over just like this. How are we going to get along in Tieshan Town in the future?”

“I want to inquire about something. Do you have any acquaintances in Tieshan Town?” Karl asked.

“Yes.” The lieutenant boasted, “I have a little brother called Blacktooth. I heard that he did well in Tieshan Town.”

“I heard that someone in Tieshan Town picked up a Golden Sandworm egg. Go confirm it.”

“Golden sandworm eggs? Is there really such a thing?” The lieutenant said in surprise.

“Hurry up and ask. It’s father’s birthday next month. I’m thinking of a gift. If I can get the eggs of the Golden Sandworm, father will definitely be very happy.”

“If the old duke wants to like this, even if Big Dragon risked his life, he will still get it back.” The lieutenant said with a smile on his face.

“Stop talking, hurry up and go!” Karl scolded.

“Yes!” The lieutenant put away his smile and bowed solemnly.

Ten minutes later …

Tie Shan Town’s Blacktooth received a phone call.

“Blacktooth, do you know who I am?” A rough voice came from the other side of the phone.

Blacktooth thought for a while with a gloomy face, and then said with a fake smile, “Brother Big Dragon, long time no see.”

The two of them exchanged a few shabby words before quickly getting to the point. After confirming that Tie Zha had found an egg of the golden sandworm, the lieutenant hung up the phone and ordered Karl to return. Karl asked the lieutenant to invite Tie Zha to visit the base and invite him and his friends to join the Silver City garrison.

“What if … what if he doesn’t know what to do?” The lieutenant rubbed his palms and asked.

“A little lesson.” Karl prompted.

“Understood!” The lieutenant saluted at attention, turned around, and went to make arrangements.

Not long after, the lieutenant brought a dozen or so heavily armed soldiers and drove three armored personnel carriers towards Tieshan Town.

At this moment, Tie Zha was habitually inspecting all kinds of weapons. Although Ye Xin Ling was taking care of him now and avoided a lot of trivial matters, he still maintained a high degree of vigilance. Living in this cruel world, he clearly knew that he could only live longer if he was prepared to fight every day.

Old Man Tie had said that there were only two things that were most reliable in this world–himself and the gun.
