Doomsday Totem

Chapter 331 Rumors
Two months later...

At Dr3713-07-08, the late summer breeze blows through the large and small silver cities suspended in the air, bringing the last heat and humidity to the world.However, in the bottomless abyss at the other end of the gate of the plane, it was as dark and cold as ever.

The Abyss has no seasons, nor day and night.Being in such an environment for a long time, human beings will gradually forget the flow of time, because every minute, every second, every moment here seems to have no change, and they will even gradually forget the original law of life and become in harmony with the abyss. Like living things, they eat when they are hungry and sleep when they are hungry.

But Tie Slag was an exception. Two months of dark life did not change his routine.He still wakes up on time at 09:30 every morning. After breakfast, he either goes out for inspections, stays in the office to drink tea, or exercises in the training room...

Today, as soon as he finished his breakfast, he called a team of guards and took Mu Qianhe out the door.

About 2000 meters above the Fortress of the Contemplators, there is an irregular circular concrete building.Looking from a distance, the small half of the building is built on a protrusion of the cliff, and the majority of the building is embedded in the stone wall.Viewed from the side, a stream is winding down the upper stone wall and flowing into the building.This is the large reservoir of the Fortress of the Thinker. The water is diverted from the water source above, and after simple sedimentation and filtration, it is stored here.

After arriving at the reservoir, Tie Slag asked the guards to wait below, and then led Mu Qianhe up to the embankment of the reservoir.

"Wow~ So cool~" Looking at the calm water, Mu Qianhe opened his hands and called happily.It has been two months since she came to the abyss. Every day she was facing the cold stones or looking at the boundless darkness. She regretted coming here.It's a rare day off, she wants to relax.

"You—good—ah, I'm—Mu Qianhe" she shouted into the open distance, "I love Tie Slag, love—death—he——"

Hearing the deep and hoarse voice, but clear and thick, Tie Slag smiled and said nothing.

Then, Mu Qianhe took off his clothes, revealing a well-proportioned and fit figure, and then changed into a three-point swimsuit in front of Iron Slag.After doing a few simple warm-up moves, she jumped down, like a dolphin, with a "plop", and plunged into the mirror-like water.

Looking at Mu Qianhe swimming in the water, Tie Zha gradually fell into his thoughts.In the past two months, he opened up a new mithril mine, and with the assistance of Lu Shanhai, he dismantled the old mithril mine.However, during the work, one of the fat man's men had an accident and was buried in the mine forever.When Tie Slag understood the situation, he unexpectedly discovered that the victim was someone he knew.That man was called Datou, and he once went to the sand sea to hunt golden sandworms with him, but because he raised some objections on the way, after returning to Tieshan Town, Lao Di found an excuse to fire him.

The big head who lost his source of income was doing nothing all day long, doing odd jobs. Later, Lu Shanhai formed a company, and he followed.But I didn't expect that this time, I would stay here forever.

With a swipe of his pen, Iron Slag allocated an additional two hundred gold coins to Lu Shanhai, taking care of an old friend in Tieshan Town.

The afternoon before yesterday, You Ge sent an electronic letter, asking him to arrange the affairs of the fort as soon as possible, and then rush back to the academy to participate in the auction of the head specimen of the great red abyss demon.In addition, the summer vacation is coming soon, and she will go back to Beihuang to spend this vacation, so before leaving, she wants to have a few days with him.The Fortress of the Thinker is garrisoned by the Kingfisher Troop of the Dawn Expeditionary Force, looked after by the mature and prudent Oliver, and assisted by the shrewd and steady Hilbrand. Even if he leaves for a long time, it will not have much impact .

After spending a day, he arranged the follow-up work.Tonight, I will have a farewell dinner with Jerome, Match, Tuobasan, Bai Xiaoyun, Ju Amu, Lu Shanhai and others, and leave for the academy tomorrow morning.

"Come down and play~" While thinking, Mu Qianhe swam over and surfaced, she winked at him and said seductively.

"I can't swim." Tie Slag shook his head lightly and said.

"Come on~ Qianhe will teach you~" She looked at him with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes were full of temptation, as if she was saying: "Come down and have a shot~"

Although he knew that Mu Qianhe was different from Mu Yuqinxin and would not take the opportunity to tease him, but he still refused.If he got into the water, he could only rely on Mu Qianhe.But he is not the kind of person who is willing to put his fate in the hands of others by nature, so he is very resistant to such things.Furthermore, even if he wants to go into the water, it is within a controllable range, such as the swimming pool of the Atlantic Mansion, and he tries to avoid unnecessary dangers as much as possible.

"By the way, I heard some bad rumors among the soldiers recently..." Seeing that Tie Slag was unwilling to go into the water, Mu Qianhe didn't continue to persuade him, and talked about other things instead.

"About me?" Iron Slag asked.

"Yeah." Mu Qianhe nodded, then swam over, half lying on the shore, tilting his head, looking up at the iron slag, and said, "They said that you sacrificed your team members for your own selfishness. In the case of driving away, but insisted on hunting the big demon, which directly led to the death of three combat servants and a third-level psyker, saying that you could have avoided casualties, but for the sake of fame, you disregarded the safety of others, etc.; Said that you were in the dark forest before, murdered other regiment leaders, plundered their teams and property; also said that you are uneducated, you can't even write your own name, and you can sign orders crookedly..."

"This is normal." After listening to Mu Qianhe's narration, Tie Slag was not only not angry, but smiled lightly and commented.Although these rumors are very harsh, he knows that none of this has anything to do with his decision-making, his moral character, and even less of his culture...

All of this is only because he is a "humble ground person", but "got shit luck" and got "the glory and status like an upstart", so he has gained so much hostility.The little nobles in Yincheng, the residents of the Western Continent, and even the ground people at the bottom of the Central Continent are full of jealousy and resentment towards him, a "scavenger from a small town in the northern wilderness".

The poorest place, the most backward area, the most humble status, the most humble origin, but stood on the world stage.

From their point of view, he was like a jumping clown, dangling in front of their eyes, making them dizzy, so disgusted that they wanted to bang their heads against the wall and fainted.

It's always like this in the world...

Westerners value blood, value origin, and have reasons not to like him;
Central people value education and character, and there are reasons why they don't like him;
People from the Far East dislike the poor and dislike the rich, so they also have reasons to dislike him.

The three most populous areas didn't want to see him. Even if the people of Beihuang Tieshan Town regarded him as proud, it was just a drop in the ocean, drowned in rumors in an instant.

Regarding this, he can only act as if he didn’t see or hear it, but even if he saw it, he didn’t know clearly, even if he heard it, he didn’t understand it, he didn’t understand it...

It's a no-brainer, a no-brainer option.

Although no one, not even one, dared to show the slightest bit of disdain in front of him, but behind his back, they spoke extremely viciously, portraying him as an existence comparable to the great devil of the abyss.In this regard, he only felt that all his strength was hitting the cotton, and there was nothing he could do.

Moreover, this situation made him feel very confused. Everyone around them seemed to be wearing a thick mask.He doesn't know who really agrees with him and who secretly slanders him, who is a friend and who is an enemy, who has flowers in his arms, and who has a sharp knife in his arms.Apart from his original friends, he didn't know anyone he could trust.

A few days ago, he wanted to talk to Mu Yulinglan about the confusion in his heart, but he couldn't get in touch with her. Then he tried to contact Mu Yuqinxin, but the same result, they seemed to disappear out of thin air.But he didn't think much about it, maybe they went to the Temple of Prayer Moon to practice.Moreover, he could ask many people for advice. If he couldn't find the two sisters of Mu Yu's family, he turned to the all-knowing and omnipotent Eva Green.

In fact, the think tank of the temple was the best place for him to consult and discuss issues, but he subconsciously went to find Mu Yuling Lan first. most similar.

After Eva heard about his situation, she suggested that he set up an internal review team to control speech while finding the source of the rumors.After determining the target, no matter who the opponent is, just find a reason to kill him. Anyway, in the abyss, casualties may occur at any time.When people gradually realize that talking about him not only won't get any benefit, but may even bring death, they will naturally shut up.

"What about the deputy captain of the Kingfisher Army?" Tie Slag assumed at the time.

"With Her Royal Highness, as long as it is necessary, there is nothing that cannot be killed except members of the Presbyterian Church of the Temple, the current Patriarch and the first heir of the great nobles."

"Including Eugene?" He couldn't help asking.

"Including." Eva said calmly, as if she was talking about a very normal thing.

"This..." He was at a loss for words.

"His Royal Highness has wished to kill her brother since she was a child, but she just failed to realize it. If you really want to do this, she will be very happy." Eva said darkly.

"As for..." Tie Slag couldn't help sighing.

However, after getting Eva's suggestion, Iron Slag did nothing.Because he knew that if he really did this, it would definitely have some negative effects on You Ge.He felt that he had gotten enough and could not trouble her any more.What's more, he never cared what others said or scolded him behind his back, as long as he didn't face to face.If he really cared about it, he might kill half of the people in Tieshan Town.

Back then, he was never relentless in killing people, and in order to create a deterrent, he usually killed people violently in the street, and the methods were extremely cruel.Although his reputation in Tieshan Town has not yet reached the level of "stopping children's crying", it is almost the same.
