Last Totem Novel - Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Fool
On the way back, Captain Xia Yihan opened his purse and counted. There were 62 gold coins in it. Adding on the original 107 gold coins, he now had 169 gold coins. He was still 71 gold away from lifting the ship. The captain has already thought about it. Just get another 50 gold coins. The remaining 21 gold coins will be rejected …

Although Ling Tianqi was a little difficult to deal with, the Ling family had three sisters. No matter what, a big brother would not be able to resist the attacks of the three sisters! Moreover, it was only 21 gold coins. No matter how stupid Ling Tianqi was, it was impossible for him to make things difficult for his three younger sisters for 21 gold coins. Just as the captain was full of confidence, Accountant Wu Congyun said something that made his chin drop.

“Your dark blue pearl, the hairpin of the serrated tiger shark bone, can buy several boats.” Accountant said resentfully.

“What! Why didn’t you say it earlier?” The captain was so shocked that his chin almost fell to the ground. He forcefully grabbed Accountant’s arm and shook it desperately. His saliva sprayed all over his face.

“I just saw it and you gave it away. I don’t even know when you got it.” Accountant said gloomily.

‘”That’s right, where did this come from” The captain stopped and frowned. He racked his brains for a long time before finally slapping his forehead and remembering, “It’s Xiao Xingyue’s!”

Accountant shook his head. Hearing this name, he knew which female victim it was.

“Who is Xiao Xingyue?” Accountant couldn’t help but ask curiously.

‘”The daughter of a certain boss. I remember that HH Company seems to belong to their family. It’s the biggest manufacturer of mechanical parts in the Northern Wilderness Continent. And what about that? The one that’s everywhere …”

“Gas station.” Accountant reminded.

“Yes, it’s the gas station.”

“You … How did you know each other?” Accountant had never understood what was good about this pirate leader. Why were there so many random encounters? He was clearly a good girl, so why did he fall for him?

“We don’t know each other. This happened many years ago.” The captain explained, “She was very young, about a few years old, and I worked as a doorman for HH.”

“And then.”

“It was exchanged for a lollipop.” After a while, the captain added, “It’s just a copper coin.” With that, he laughed out loud, as bad as his smile could be.

A few minutes later, the two of them returned to their previous positions and squatted beside the big stone, staring at the small door of the Red Drinking Horse Building.

“If you want it back directly, will it hurt her heart?” Accountant asked worriedly. However, he was not worried about the girl’s feelings, but was afraid that the captain would regret it in the future and blame him for it. After all, this hooligan leader still valued women very much.

“No.” The captain replied confidently and extended his hand to him, “Give me your gun.”

‘”What …” Accountant looked at the captain in horror.

“Long-winded, quickly bring it over!” The captain shouted in a deep voice. Accountant took out his gun and handed it over. It was a small silver pistol with dark golden patterns inlaid on its body. Its hilt was made of northern peach wood, and it had been rubbed until it shone with grease.

“She has always wanted a gun. She will trade this for it later.” Explained the captain.

Accountant was instantly dumbfounded. He had been fooling around for an unknown amount of time before he had been fooled over from the old hooligan’s hands. In the blink of an eye, it was gone. His heart was filled with regret, and his soul was silently shouting, “What is this?” If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have said it!

For the rest of the time, Accountant was always worried about his gains and losses …

In the evening, the sun gradually sunk to the west, without the warm sunlight, the north wind became colder and colder.

“Why hasn’t anyone come out yet?” The captain wrapped his coat and complained in a low voice. However, his complaints were useless at all. A few hours later, no one came out. At this moment, the moon had already climbed up into the air. Dim lights shone through the wooden windows of the red building, reflecting the snow on the ground. Everything was silent in silence.

“Boss, it’s too late. Let’s go back.” Accountant suggested that he was trembling from the cold and was about to faint.

“No way! The money for a few boats.” The captain said to himself, “I want to buy a nuclear-powered one. I don’t need to refuel in the future.”

With this thought in mind, the captain and Accountant waited until the next morning.

Just as dawn fell, the two people squatting beside the stone were frozen to ice. The captain and Accountant were covered in snowflakes, their faces turning green from the cold, and they could hardly even speak.

“Boss … Boss, let’s … let’s go. If we … don’t leave, we’ll … die.” After saying that, the little girl who was learning how to sell matches in fairy tales lit a match. In the hazy light of the fire, he seemed to see steaming chicken soup and fragrant ale …

“Ten thousand … Ten thousand evil rich people … Go to bed early and get up late … Sima Ren, I’m not done with you!” The captain cursed hatefully and stood up with the stone trembling. His body moved, and the leather boots beneath his feet cracked, shattered ice.

At this time, the Sima Clan’s eldest young miss was lying on an oak bed carved with flowers and fruits, covered with a thick velvet quilt. Seemingly sensing some resentment, she slowly woke up and stretched. She comfortably let out a “hmm” sound, then pulled on the blanket and retracted back to continue sleeping …

At the same time, the two people downstairs supported each other, staggered on the snow on their knees, and left in a sorry state …

Half an hour later, the two of them knocked open the door of the giant wooden wine barrel and fell to the ground, shouting intermittently, “Chicken soup … chicken soup ah …” “Wine … come wine …” The owner of the bar hurriedly heated up two bowls of ale, added some ginger, and poured it down on the two of them. Only then did they feel somewhat better.

“Radish, are you willing to guard this tavern for the rest of your life?” The recovered captain sat on the log table and began to do the bar owner’s ideological work.

“Have you ever had a dream?” The captain said confidently, “Why don’t we just … sell this damn place and come to my ship and hang out with me? How about it?”

The bartender shook his head and reminded, “The food and accommodation costs for the past few days …”

The captain clenched his fists as if he hadn’t heard him, and continued, “Go across the seven seas and watch the sunrise and sunset with a smile. This is the dream of every man. Radish, follow me and set sail!”

The boss lowered his eyes, as if he was completely unmoved by the impassioned speech. “I only know how to cook. What do you want me to do?” He said.

“The ship lacks a chef.” “Is there any difference in where you cook?”

“I remember you said that when you were young, you went to the snowy ice plains to hunt bears.” Said the captain.

“Five people go. Two of them have died, and not a single snow bear has been caught. Is this called bear hunting?” The bartender asked.

“Yes.” The captain nodded and said, “Indeed, it’s more like being hunted by a bear.”

“Besides, this shop only sells for thirty to forty gold coins. Please, Captain Xia, please don’t make things difficult for us little people.” The bartender cupped his fists and said.

The captain waved his hand, as if he was chasing flies, and said with disdain, “That’s all you have. Will you be able to lay an egg by guarding this damn bar?”

“If you want money, why don’t you think about it …” As the boss spoke, he hinted at the corner of the bar.

The captain followed the boss’s gaze and saw a black-clothed youth sitting upright in a corner, silently eating breakfast.

This youth had been a porter all day yesterday, but his waist and legs were still aching from the iron slag. Although he was stronger than the average person, he couldn’t hold on to the three of them all the time, and he was exhausted the moment he came back last night.

“Brother Tie, brother, I’m in trouble. There’s no boat left.” Said the captain.

“There are no boats! Then how can I cross the sea?” Tie Zha raised his head and stared at the captain with a sharp gaze.

“There’s nothing I can do about it. The boat was robbed.” The boat sighed.

“Snatch it back.” Iron slag said.

“How? I can’t beat you …”

“Actually …” Tie Zha paused and suggested, “You can hire me.”

The captain suddenly slapped his thigh and thought to himself, “That’s right, how could I have thought of that!” They were now on the same boat, so it was only natural for them to help each other. With Tie Zha’s ability to crush wine glasses with his bare hands, snatching back the Fishdragon would definitely not be a problem.

“Good idea!” The captain loudly agreed. After thinking for a while, he cautiously asked, “The opponent’s strength is at the Golden Intermediate Stage. There shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

“Huh?” Tie Zha was instantly shocked. Golden Intermediate Rank was not something he, a high-tier Silver Rank, could deal with. Not to mention the difference of two levels, even if it was slightly lower than him, he would not take this risk. So, he asked, “Do you have any other plans?”

“I’ve gathered some money to buy the boat. I’m still short of 50 gold. If you can …”

Before the captain could finish his words, Tie Zha tossed the money bag onto the table. The captain’s eyes lit up as he grabbed the money bag. He opened it and saw that it froze. There weren’t any gold coins in it. Apart from a few silver coins, the rest were copper plates.

“Brother, are you joking?” The captain’s face darkened.

“That’s all.”

“What kind of boat are you taking without money?” The captain shouted in a deep voice.

“You know my secret now. If there’s no boat, I can only kill you and find the next one.” Tie Zha threatened.

The captain was about to explode, but he instinctively felt an inexplicable danger. He quickly calmed down. Since the other party was fearless, he definitely had the strength to do so.

Indeed, his guess was correct. Tie Zha had Alice scan them the night before and knew that they only had brass combat power, not even black iron. Killing them was as simple as cutting vegetables, which was why they were so powerful.

“Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to say that?” The captain said earnestly, “There is an old saying in the East, ‘Strong dragons do not suppress earth snakes’. Although you are an expert, we have lived in this sea area for many years. Compared to you, we are more familiar with the environment of the Black Sea.”

The captain’s words were very honest, but they were completely useless when it came to the iron slag. Iron Slag spread out his hands and gave an ultimatum, “Use the tickets to exchange for your own life. Choose.”

“This … okay, okay, I admit it.” The captain smiled bitterly. ‘But we don’t have a boat now. You should try to get some money back.’
