Last Totem Novel - Chapter 57
Chapter 57 Long Journey
In the middle of winter, there was heavy snow in the sky and a deathly silence in the vast wilderness. He raised his eyes and saw that there was only a vast expanse of land, and there was no trace of any living creatures.
However, in the city floating above the wilderness, there was another scene.
In the bustling streets of shops, pure white horses strolled along the streets cut out of hemp, shattered into pieces, dragging exquisite floats.
Today is the annual Eulogy of the Gods (New Year). Citizens rushed to the streets and held a grand parade. They praised the gods, thanked the rich and warm life, and supported the miracles of this world …
At the very front of the procession was a huge float. The float was drawn by twelve sturdy Sharma horses and carved from thousand-year-old elm wood from the northern glaciers. The body was simple and delicate, covered with a red golden-rimmed blanket, and covered with beautiful petals everywhere.
This gorgeous carriage seemed to have come from the peak of the Gods’ mountain, bringing the grace of the Rain God to the mortal world.
However, no one seemed to notice all of this …
Because there was a beautiful girl standing on the carriage, her existence attracted all eyes, causing everything around her to turn pale. At this moment. The girl wore a faint smile and occasionally bowed to the onlookers on both sides of the street.
This was the most popular priest of the Divine Rain Prayer Palace, Mu Yu Ling Lan.
Just as the crowd was cheering for their priests, in the side hall of the Rain Prayer Temple, a middle-aged woman with a solemn expression was whispering to a young girl with a youthful aura. This middle-aged woman was the Great Priest of the Divine Palace of Prayer for Rain. She had just returned from Central Silver City this morning. As soon as she got off the flying machine, she immediately summoned Mu Yuqinxin to ask questions.
“How are you getting along?” The Rain Prayer Priest asked.
Mu Yuqin pouted with a gloomy expression, “Sorry, the mission failed …”
The Rain Prayer Priest pulled the girl’s hand and revealed a kind smile. “It doesn’t matter, you’re still young, but … the other party isn’t powerful. Why did your mission fail?” He said.
Hence, Mu Yuqinxin told the whole story, including killing a “female bandit playing with a pen” halfway through, as well as the investigation that followed.
“Lena Euclid, sixth young miss of Sandy City’s Syros family, illegitimate daughter of Patriarch Layton Syros. She is now the chief of the Iron Mountain Town police. There are still three years left.” In the end, she added, “The relationship with the target is a little … a little baffling.”
“According to what you said, our red-robed warrior was severely wounded by her while wearing the Twilight Armor?” Muyu Qinxin nodded her head and prayed to the Rain Sacrificial Priest, “I didn’t expect the Xerox Clan to produce a Saint-ranked expert.”
“Saint rank! Impossible! That’s not with you” Mu Yuqin exclaimed.
“Even if it’s not a Saint rank, it’s probably close. The red-clothed warriors of the Dark Shadow Branch are higher ranked than the red-clothed warriors of the regular army, but they’re hiding their true strength.” The Rain Prayer Priest explained.
“However, our target has been seriously injured. He may not be able to survive.”
“I didn’t expect him to be an insect-like mutant. This matter is even more troublesome. I definitely can’t let Ling Lan come into contact with him again.” The Rain Prayer Priest said with a frown.
“The target has been missing for a long time. About a month ago, the target burned down his stronghold, and no one has seen him since.” Mu Yuqin said with some uncertainty, “Xiaoqing reckons that he has already left Tieshan Town.”
Hearing Mu Yuqinxin’s words, the Rain Prayer Priest seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. After a long silence, she sighed deeply and said, “Xiaoqing, you two sisters have always been on good terms. I asked you to do this. Mom … Mom, I’m sorry …”
“Mother … Xiaoqing knows that you are doing this for our own good.” Mu Yuqin comforted in a low voice.
“You and Ling Lan were brought back from below. You’ve all experienced the cruelty of this world for yourselves.” The Rain Prayer Priest gently patted the girl’s shoulder and said, “Although our Notre Dame is a whole.” But in reality, each temple was relatively independent. Only with sufficient resources and force can we have a foothold in this world. This Divine Hall of Prayer for Rain is the work of your Aunt Jinghai and I for the rest of our lives. When we were young, we were like you and Ling Lan. Unfortunately, Mirror Sea … “Speaking of emotions, the Rain Prayer Priest couldn’t help but wipe his eyes.
Mu Yuqin hugged the Rain Prayer Sacrificial Priest’s shoulder and whispered, “Xiaoqing understands …”
After a while, the Rain Prayer Priest calmed down and regained his solemn expression. Then, he said seriously, “Xiaoqing, two years later, when you are 19 years old, I want to send you to Central Silver City to study for a period of time.”
“Ah? Still studying? Isn’t Lily of the Valley and I studying every day? According to the school’s standards, we have both graduated with a master’s degree.”
The Rain Prayer Priest shook his head and said, “The students of the Central Silver City Military Academy are all cultivated by major powers. If you and Ling Lan want to establish themselves in this world, you must know more people before you can integrate into the circle at the top of the pyramid.”
Listening to her mother’s words, Mu Yuqin nodded her head in confusion …
At the same time, in another part of Silver City Thirteen, in an old and luxurious old European-style mansion, butler and maids were busy decorating the lanterns and preparing for the evening dance.
This was the residence of the Lei Ling Clan, one of the six great clans of Silver City No. 13.
For the Lei Ling Clan, today was a special day. Apart from the traditional Praise of the Gods Festival, it was also the birthday of the current Patriarch. At this time of year, the Lei Ling Clan would hold a grand dance, inviting celebrities and gentlemen from all walks of life to celebrate the New Year and celebrate the birthday of the Patriarch.
For tonight’s ball, Karl Leylin, the deputy commander who worked at Silver City Military Base 13, was currently wearing a light evening gown and standing in front of the mirror in various positions. Finally, he smiled in the mirror and nodded his head, clearly satisfied with the new dress or his own appearance.
“Fourth Young Master, you’re so handsome.” The lieutenant standing at the side gave a thumbs up.
“Big Dragon, come with me tonight. I’ve applied for a special pass for you.”
“Ah! Really!” The lieutenant opened his mouth wide and cried out in an exaggerated manner.
“What? You don’t believe me?” Carl laughed.
“No … no …” The lieutenant clasped his fists and said seriously, “Thank you, Fourth Young Master. The big dragon didn’t manage things well. Fourth Young Master not only didn’t punish him, he was also willing to take him to the big dragon’s birthday party …” At this point, the lieutenant suddenly knelt down on one knee and swore an oath, “It’s the honor of Big Dragon’s life to follow Young Master.”
“It’s a pity that I didn’t get the Golden Sandworm eggs, but that woman …” Karl seemed to recall what happened that day and sighed endlessly. “It’s really fun to play with!”
The lieutenant laughed and said, “Fourth Young Master likes this tune. Big Dragon will find it for you next time.”
Karl shook his head and said, “No, we can’t do too much of this. If it gets out, Lord Father won’t be able to explain it.”
The lieutenant waved his hand and said in a rough voice, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Young Master, you’re overthinking it. Who cares about the lives of these garbage dogs below?”
“Alright, let’s not talk anymore. Prepare to set off.” Carl didn’t seem to want to talk about this topic anymore and waved his hand, signaling for the lieutenant to get down and arrange the car. It was twenty minutes drive from the ground transfer station at Silver City 13. When we arrive at the transfer station, we will have to change to a floating airship before we can get there.
Half an hour later, Carl put on his windbreaker under the service of the lieutenant and walked out of the gate of the base in the face of the blowing snow. At this time, there were five sand trucks parked in front of the base, two of which were also equipped with Wild Wolf mecha. Seeing this scene, Carl couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Is there a need to drive so many cars for such a short distance?”
“Bringing more talents suits Young Master’s identity. The Lei Ling Clan’s Young Master is a big shot.” The lieutenant replied seriously. Although he said that, a trace of fear flashed through his eyes. Ever since he learned from Blacktooth that Tie Zha had burned his stronghold, he had disappeared. He had been having nightmares and often had hallucinations, as if his pair of wolf-like eyes were staring at him. Unknowingly, he became more and more timid. Whenever he thought of this matter, he shivered.
Karl smiled slightly. Obviously, he enjoyed the flattery of this subordinate. Then, with the help of the lieutenant, he sat on the sand truck and directed the convoy to the ground transfer station.
It was snowing heavily along the way. Although the distance was not very far, the bad weather greatly reduced the speed of the vehicles.
Twenty minutes later, the convoy was halfway there. At this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility outside the car window was very low. Only the scenery twenty to thirty meters away could be seen. However, there was no scenery outside, other than snow.
Karl looked at his watch irritably. He hoped that he could make it to lunch at home, but the heavy snow was not as good as he had hoped. At this moment, he seemed to see something shaking outside the window. He furrowed his brows and took a closer look. It was a common Dead Sea Poplar (a tree that could still grow in a harsh environment) in the wilderness, swaying its bare branches in the heavy snow. He did not understand why the poet liked to praise such a thin and ugly tree so much. Actually, he, who was from the Silver City Nobility Clan, did not understand this incomparably tough tree, just as he did not understand the people on the ground.
Just as he was about to curse, a flame suddenly appeared in front of him! Immediately after, there was an earth-shattering explosion!
“Boom!”
In an instant, it was as if the entire world was shaking, and the sharp tinnitus caused people to feel dizzy endlessly. The explosion shattered the car window. The next second, the strong wind swept the heavy snow into the carriage, causing chaos in the carriage.
Carl rolled down from the passenger seat. He had just recovered from his dizziness and hadn’t had time to stand up. In the middle of the snowstorm, a strong light pierced through the layers of dancing snowflakes. The dazzling light shone so hard that he couldn’t open his eyes. He could only hear the roar of the motorcycle rushing towards him from far to near!
Qiang!
Along with the sound of sharp blades cutting through bones, his world changed. He felt his body floating lightly, as if it had flown into the sky. He was looking down at the ground from above, only to see a red motorcycle sweeping past. This was the last scene of his life, and after that, he fell into endless darkness …
At this time, on the other side of Carl, the scorched lieutenant struggled out of the window. He panted heavily, glad that he was still alive. But just as he raised his head, he saw a dark man standing in front of him. The man held a half-man-tall heavy machine gun with a thick barrel aimed at his head.
“Sister! Brother Niu has avenged you!”
The black man roared! The heavy machine gun responded to his anger!
“Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da …”
The bullets that poured out mercilessly tore the beast in front of him into pieces! Terrified screams, desperate cries, mixed with the howling north wind, traveled far away …
Fire broke out in the blizzard and everything finally calmed down.
Twenty minutes later …
In front of the new clay bag on the low mountain, there were two more figures.
“Where are you going?” Iron Cinder looked into the distance and casually asked.
“I want to go to the south. A few years ago, Master told me to go to the south to seek refuge with Grandmaster. I have been too lazy to go. Now is the right time to take a look.” Old Niu replied with a simple smile.
Tie Zha stared at the brother in front of him and firmly extended his hand. Old Niu clenched it tightly. Afterwards, the two of them parted ways in silence …
Not long after, Tie Zha appeared on the side of Tieshan Town’s Autonomous Council. Now that he had committed a monstrous crime, it was equivalent to making an enemy of the Silver City nobles in the entire world, so he would no longer come into contact with Lena. Perhaps in a few hours, the Tieshan Town Police Chief would be forced by the pressure from all sides to issue an arrest warrant for him helplessly.
He had only come here to take another look at the familiar window. There were many memories of him, as well as warmth that he had never felt in his childhood.
“Wait for me.”
As he muttered to himself, the youth slowly raised his head and slapped the red button forcefully!
[Team leader, injection mode activated, 99% electric charge, 80% high pressure nitrogen]
As the girl’s synthetic voice rang out, the twelve airbags of the red comet activated at the same time, and the fuel thrusters spat out orange-red tail flames. The speed of the motorcycle instantly soared to the extreme, transforming into a meteor that flew towards the end of the world …
