Last Totem Novel - Chapter 628
Chapter 628 Patron
During the meal, Hagrid dialed Tie Zha’s newsletter and suggested that when he came back from the Mirror Sea, he should go to Pure Land Town in Desert Five and make a field trip to see if there were any suitable business opportunities.
Taking advantage of the war on the Aurora Plane, humans and Elda were hostile to each other. Crimson Queen Salazar and Golden Ant Queen Helena joined forces to build this free trade platform. At present, many human and demon forces have set up offices in the town.
Simply put, this was a business system that was independent of the World Council and the Seven Great Clan Councils. It would not be controlled by the upper echelons of humans and demons. Such a nature was very suitable for the needs of the Wolf Race mercenary corps. If one day they were discovered, there would be a place where they could trade and replenish their supplies.
Desert Five was vast and boundless. If he could get along well with the people of Elda, it was not impossible for him to wander outside the control area of the World Council. It was just that there were many difficulties, and he didn’t know how long he could last. However, three to five years should be enough.
Tie Zha agreed. Actually, Zhao Wenke had discussed this issue with him before, but he was on his way to Silver City 13, so he postponed it. This time, Hagrid brought it up again. Zhao Wenke was probably optimistic about the project and asked Hagrid to convince him.
A few days later, Tie Ling and Quinn finished the relevant procedures for Jinghai Oilfield exploitation, and confirmed the positions of the two oil drilling platforms. Then, they returned to the fleet and set sail with their sirens sounded.
Half a day after leaving the island, the surrounding boats gradually became sparse, and in the end, they were no longer visible. A few days later, the bored Tie Zha started fishing on the lower deck. Life on the sea was monotonous and boring. Previously, Captain Xia had lived a fast life with such a restless person as him when he was on the boat.
Tie Ling was a stuffy person, busy with the command of the fleet every day, always carrying a sextant and binoculars. However, to sail in the Mirror Sea, one must be meticulous. Otherwise, if one lost their way, they would be buried in the boundless ocean.
As the highest commander of the legion, even if it was fishing, Tie Zha had to bring some subordinates with him, such as Lilith, who was standing beside him at the moment.
For some reason, Lilith was afraid of being alone with Tie Zha. However, other than her, Quinn also had work to do here, so there was no suitable reason to refuse.
Tie Zha held the fishing rod in his hand, and the fishing line landed in the sea, dragging the buoy and drawing a long wave of water. His thoughts weren’t here, but he was wondering if Bi Qinglan, who had been trampled to the point where she couldn’t stand up, would take any revenge.
From the looks of it, Bi Qinglan wanted to use him more than destroy him. Otherwise, she would have told You Ge long ago. Bi Qinglan was an ambitious person who was unwilling to submit to others. Even You Ge was probably only a temporary ally in her heart. But politics has always been like this, using each other and guarding against each other. Everything was based on interests.
But what he didn’t expect was that what he had done had become the last straw that crushed the camel. The humiliation overshadowed the shame of being a hen that laid eggs every day, causing Bi Qinglan to go completely crazy and fall to the opposite side of humanity.
“I’m very surprised. Can you catch fish like this?” Lilith asked when she realized that Tie Zha’s gaze was not on the buoy, but on the other side of the buoy.
“Is that so?” Tie Zha asked indifferently, then turned around and continued to think about him.
Looking at a small fish jumping out of the sea, he couldn’t help but think of You Ge, the always cheerful and lively girl.
The Silver Miracle, the Origin Energy user’s super custom-made mecha, was truly terrifying. Such a powerful Lord of the Abyss wouldn’t last long. He didn’t know what the outcome would be if he fought against humans.
It is said that she is also on the verge of becoming a Saint. If we meet again in the future …
No, we shouldn’t see each other again.
He thought of Mu Yu Ling Lan again. She is already a Saint-ranked expert, becoming the first successor of Notre Dame should be very busy. I wonder if we’ll have a chance to meet again in the future.
“Hey, the buoy is moving!” Lilith suddenly shouted.
“Is that so?” He asked indifferently, and then continued to think about things.
“Damn it” Lilith whispered, but he didn’t hear her.
Then, he thought of Qin Ke’er. I don’t know if she’s doing well, but maybe I should take some time to see her. The wine brewed by Qin Baoshan was really delicious.
Finally, he thought of Lena. Come back from Pure Land Town and follow her to the end of the world. This was the first time she had made a request to him, so he couldn’t let her down.
Also, it’s time to go back and see Cozan. Tell him that the stupid youth of the past was already a Warsong Shaman. He had three strongholds, a flagship, and a fleet. Next, there were more strongholds, more troops, and he was slowly growing stronger. Although it is still far from the target, no matter what, it is still on the way forward …
Thinking about it, Tie Zhan yawned and looked at his watch. It was already the night of Silver City World.
He felt a little hungry, so he put away his fishing rod and said to Lilith, “Let’s go. It’s time for dinner.”
“You’ve been fishing for most of the day. You haven’t even caught a single fish.” Lilith said with a disappointed expression. She heard that she was only willing to follow him because she was fishing, but she ended up standing with a sore waist and a sore butt, and she actually found nothing.
At this moment, Tie Zha said, the famous Far East quote he had learned from Captain Xia back then.
He grinned and said, “I’m not catching fish. I’m catching loneliness.”
For a moment, Lilith was stunned. She never imagined that the usually serious Tie Zha, at least pretending to be serious, would say such a crazy thing.
Afterwards, Lilith would rather haul the deck than fish with Tie Zha, on the grounds that “it’s so boring.”
However, she wanted to avoid it, but she could not do so. First of all, the other party was the Legion Leader, so he could say whatever he wanted. As a subordinate, she could not refuse. Secondly, the opponent’s personal strength was strong, and his behavior was serious and proper, making it impossible for anyone to find a reason to refuse. Third, the other party was black-bellied and stingy, and had a heavy heart for revenge, so she did not dare to refuse.
On the other hand, with the boredom of sea life, Tie Zha’s state of mind had a subtle change. He was full of food and wine, and had nothing to do, so he naturally had nowhere to vent his energy. In addition, as an insect transformant, he also possessed male ant glands. Every day, there were women swaying around him, adding fuel to the fire. After enduring for a few days, he grew more and more irritated, so he called Lilith into the lounge.
‘”La la la la ~” Lilith snorted cheerfully, looking innocent, but her heart was extremely nervous. She had a hunch that something important might be lost.
“Come, sit down.” Lilith was flattered by Tie Zha’s kind tone when she invited him.
“Is something the matter?” Lilith asked casually.
“I want to talk to you.” “Talk about what?” She asked blankly. Of course, this was all fake.
“Recently …” Tie Zha stuttered, “How have you been recently?” If it had been in the past, he would have already pounced on it, even if he hadn’t directly attacked it, he would still have made a move. However, after experiencing Bi Shunlan’s incident, he became more cautious, especially when the other party was Tie Ling’s younger sister. If the other party committed suicide, the consequences would be unimaginable, albeit unlikely.
Actually, his mentality was a little strange. He couldn’t put Tie Ling, who was willing to sacrifice her life at any time, and he actually ran to Lilith, who was guarding against him like he was guarding against thieves. Perhaps it was because in the depths of his heart, he regarded Tie Ling as his adopted daughter, so much so that he instinctively excluded her from the hunt. The so-called tiger poison didn’t eat children, but when faced with Tie Ling, he couldn’t eat.
‘”Very good!” Lilith answered obediently, her gaze as calm as water, her heart as chaotic as numb.
She grew up in a dangerous southern cemetery and has a strong sense of self-preservation. Based on her years of experience in the bar, the more flustered she was, the more likely she was to arouse the other party’s desire. The best way to deal with it was to pretend to be innocent and pitiful, not knowing anything about the world, so as to arouse the other party’s sympathy to the greatest extent possible, so as to reduce the danger. Relying on this method, she escaped from the weapon several times, preserving her innocence.
However, when facing Tie Zha, she lost at least half of her confidence. Her opponent’s cunning was far beyond her control. But she could not give up resisting, because this was the survival law of the Southern Cemetery. No matter what the result is, you must work hard until the last moment. Such thoughts had long since merged into her blood, and they were constantly urging her.
Tie Zha hesitated for a moment before explaining, “Recently, is there anything you really want to buy … I mean, is there enough money?” He actually used the most vulgar, rustic, but also the most practical way to pick up girls and smash them with gold coins!
‘”No … no lack …” Lilith replied with difficulty. This was really difficult for her. For a moment, she really wanted to answer, “I lack, I have so many beautiful clothes I want to buy, and so many exquisite accessories I want to own. I want a silver star pistol made of gold, I want a short saber with gemstones embedded in it, and I want …”
However, she knew very well that as long as she spoke her true thoughts, she would immediately be thrown onto the sofa, making Tian Tian ineffective and shouting in disapproval. Afterwards, all she could get was a few gold coins. Perhaps Tie Zha will give more, but certainly not more than fifty. Because she knew that Tie Zha usually didn’t have more than fifty dollars in cash on him, especially in his own territory. It was even possible that he didn’t even have a single coin on him.
It was impossible, or embarrassing, for Tie Zha to ask for it from someone else. In that case, the film she had painstakingly kept until now was worth fifty gold coins. Moreover, she had a premonition that it was very likely that she didn’t even have a single coin. At most, it was a few pleasant promises. Finally, she had to support the wall and move back to her lounge in pain and poverty.
“Really?” Repeated Tie Zha, somewhat surprised.
‘”Really … really not lacking …” Lilith felt that her strength was about to be drained. To her, this answer was cruel, as if she was using a knife to cut her own flesh.
“Oh, forget it.” Tie Zha said disappointedly.
‘”I…” Lilith hesitated.
“Huh?” Tie Zha asked doubtfully.
‘”I… I…” Lilith’s wriggling lips seemed to be on the verge of tears.
“What’s the matter?” Tie Zha frowned and asked.
“I… I’m lacking!” She could no longer control herself and shouted.
Tie Zha immediately smiled and asked, “Do you want to earn pocket money?”
“Yes.” Lilith nodded her head forcefully. She wanted to face up to her inner needs.
“There’s a price to pay.” He imitated the tone of the uncles in Tieshan Town’s bar.
‘”Wuwuwu” Lilith shed tears.
“What, unwilling?” ‘”Then why are you crying?” Tie Zha was puzzled.
“I feel so painful.” Lilith cried.
“Forget it.” Tie Zha said nonchalantly. At the very least, it was impossible to tell on the surface that he was faking it.
“But I’m short of money.” “And then?” “I don’t know. I just want money. I want to buy beautiful clothes, boots, weapons …”
‘”I… I…” Lilith seemed to be forced by an invisible, colorless, incomparably powerful existence. She grabbed the corner of her pullover shirt with both hands and lifted it upwards…
“I want money … I want money … I want money …” She muttered to herself as if she was trying to convince herself. She pulled out her short knife from her waist and pulled open the chain of her jeans. Then, she cut it down along the chain.
“Rip …”
With a soft sound, her jeans turned into open-cut pants worn by children. In the intense psychological struggle and the double torment of the temptation of money, she has lost herself. .
“If you want pocket money, hurry up.” Tie Zha urged.
“No … I don’t want to do it with you … I don’t want to …” Lilith shook her head desperately, looking both painful and helpless.
At this moment, a golden light flashed in front of her eyes and a gold coin appeared.
She looked at the shining gold coins and lowered her head as if she had accepted her fate. When she thought of the consequences, she panicked and shouted, “No … I don’t want it anymore … I’m going to find my sister …”
But before she could finish her sentence, she froze, because two gold coins were reflected in her brown pupils. Under the enormous temptation, she was lost again.
Hand in hand!
The story of the young girl and the black-hearted patron was officially played out.
However, at the end of the performance, as Lilith had guessed, she only got three gold coins …
“Wuwuwu ~”
Afterwards, Tie Zha drank red wine and listened to the sound of swallowing and the sound of footsteps supporting the wall. He was in a very happy mood.
