Doomsday Totem

Chapter 355 Apprenticeship
The day after Yu Jiawen Lombal left the academy, NO.13 Silver City's annual winter meeting began.At nine o'clock in the morning, the parliament hall was crowded with representatives of various forces, including noble forces, municipal organizations, merchant associations, workers associations, law associations, artist associations, and social work associations. And representatives from various industries...

According to the usual practice, the current priest who prayed for rain took the lead in speaking and proposing proposals at the meeting.

"Gentlemen and ladies, good morning. I am Mu Yulinglan, the servant of the Rain God. My topic today is 'Reserve and Development of Strategic Resources in the City of Prayer for Rain'. Please look at the screen below. This is the report from last year. Reserve situation..."

Following Mu Yulinglan's gesture, groups of data and related icons were displayed on the LCD screens from several different angles.

"From the data, it is not difficult to see that our fuel reserves have been declining, and the reserves of liquid spiritual potions and black oil are also decreasing..."

Mu Yu Linglan said on the top, but the old men were blowing their beards and staring at the bottom, all of them seemed very unhappy.

"Look, look, I'm asking for something again." Colin Burns frowned and said in a low voice.

"This girl has too many tricks." Morton Railing sighed.

Brandon Peter snorted coldly and didn't speak.The patriarch of the fourth family, Jiang Xiao, sat blankly, as if in a daze.

"I suggest that after this year's Rain Prayer Festival, form a plane team to go to the fifth desert to open up land, establish a stronghold, and mine ore..." Mu Yulinglan continued above.

"We have this family fortune, and she still doesn't let it go, just like her adoptive mother." Colin said angrily.Mu Yulinglan wanted to form a plane team. Most of the soldiers must be drawn from the private armies of the four major families, because the Rain God Guard is the No. 13 elite army of Yincheng, and it shoulders the heavy responsibility of city defense, so it cannot randomly recruit people.

"He came from the ground. He has been hungry since he was a child. If he can catch something to eat, he will definitely not let it go." Morton said with a half-smile.In fact, when he said these words, he felt very helpless. Sometimes, knowing that the other party had a firm foothold, he would come back to deal with him, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to make some concessions.

Brandon Peter snorted again, but still didn't speak, while Jiang Xiao continued to be in a daze.

"At present, the situation in the world is becoming more and more tense. Not long ago, the situation in the Far East has undergone tremendous changes. The original balance has been broken. There are also more and more frictions between the central continent and the western continent. As far as I know, this year's World Conference At the winter meeting, the great nobles were divided into two factions, and perhaps in the next few years, there will be war between the two sides, so we must reserve as much strategic materials as possible to deal with it..."

"Even if the central and western regions are at war, what does it have to do with our Northern Wilderness?" Colin stood up and asked loudly, interrupting Mu Yulinglan's speech.The reason why he said this was because the situation in the Northern Wilderness had always been very stable, and there were basically no conflicts of interest between the major forces.

"The flames of war may not spread to the Northern Wilderness, but we just watch them divide up the benefits? And then do nothing?" Mu Yulinglan asked back, and then she smiled lightly, and that smile seemed to melt away. The iceberg immediately attracted people's attention.After attracting enough attention, Mu Yulinglan glanced at Colin, and said with a little disdain, "I'm still young, and I don't want to die of old age here." Suddenly, there was a silence in the venue, and then a burst of laughter broke out.

Colin's face was flushed with anger, and he couldn't say a word.Seeing that the old friend was deflated, Morton hastily tugged on his sleeve, motioning him to sit down.

"You're getting old, don't worry about children." Morton comforted.

"Actually, what she said makes sense. We have too few external interests." Jiang Xiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

"Hmm..." After listening to Jiang Xiao's words, Brandon nodded thoughtfully.They are all old and don't have much drive, they just want to guard this square inch of land for the elderly.And in these years, there have been no talents who can stand on their own among the younger generations, so in terms of external interests, they have hardly expanded, and they are all relying on their previous capital.Although they fought to the death internally, they were the most reliable partners externally.After all, they are on the same boat. If the boat capsizes, everyone will fall into the sea.

Seeing that Brandon had no objection, Colin sat down slowly and began to think about this matter carefully.He had to admit that Mu Yu Linglan was the most capable of the NO.13 Yincheng's younger generation, and there were quite a few talents under him.In the past two years, she has been flourishing in the Central Silver City, and judging from the previous incident, she still has a close relationship with the Temple Princess.

In the past, they might have worried that Mu Yuling Lan and the princess of the temple would deal with them. After all, they all participated in the plan against the third lady of the Longbar family. They are people on the same boat. In terms of fundamental interests, they will definitely be unanimous to the outside world.

After a while, Morton sighed, and took the lead to break the silence and said, "If you support her, when her wings harden, she will support the nine parties to govern, which in turn will weaken our rights. If you don't support her, it will be logically I can't say it, it's really a headache..."

"She dares!" Brandon opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice.Due to a moment of emotional excitement, he couldn't control the volume, which attracted the representatives at the scene to look over.

"Grandpa Brandon, what do you think about this proposal?" Mu Yulinglan asked in a timely manner.

"It's okay!" Brandon said in a rough voice. In fact, he wasn't listening at all. He was just being watched by everyone. He couldn't hold back his old face. He had to find a step down...

After the winter meeting ended, Mu Yu Linglan personally delivered the drafted plan to the hands of the four Patriarchs, and then left.

After a while, the four of them looked at the information in their hands and took a deep breath involuntarily.

"My family's private army, why does she know better than me? I don't know many officers!" Colin was the first to lose his temper and shouted while blowing his beard.

"Forget it..." Brandon waved his hand and sighed, "Green out of blue may not be a bad thing, let her try."

Just when the four patriarchs were worrying about gains and losses, Qin Ke'er returned to the Fire Horn Temple and met the great master in front of the holy fire.

At this moment, standing next to the great master was an old man wearing a gray robe and a seven-color straw rope around his waist, but his spirit was a bit listless.

"Ker, this is Grandmaster Red Snake."

"Dear elder, good afternoon." Qin Ke'er bowed her head and greeted obediently.

"Oh..." Grandmaster Red Snake shook his head and said, "I'm not an elder, just a lost dog."

"Old friend, don't say that, you just gave up resisting because you couldn't bear to kill each other..." Grandmaster Huojiao quickly comforted him.

"Yeah~" Qin Ke'er also echoed, although she didn't know what happened.

Grandmaster Red Snake faced the sacred fire, was silent for a long time, and said, "I am ashamed of my teacher..."

"It's all the fault of the spirit snake witch doctor, and it has nothing to do with you." Grandmaster Huojiao comforted him.

"The Spirit Snake Temple has reached this point, and no one can escape responsibility." Grandmaster Red Snake said.

"Old friend, what are your plans for the future?" Grandmaster Huojiao changed the topic, "If you don't dislike it, stay here, and we brothers will be equal."

"There are no two tigers in the mountain, and no two commanders in the army. If old friends don't mind, let me be a cheerleader." Grandmaster Red Snake said, clasping his hands.

"How can this be done!" Grandmaster Huojiao refused.

"If you don't agree, I'll leave." Grandmaster Red Snake said calmly, staring at the holy flame.

Looking at his stubborn old friend, Grandmaster Huojiao was silent for a long, long time, and finally nodded.

"From now on, there will be no Grandmaster Red Snake in the world, only people who add fuel to the fire." After speaking, Grandmaster Red Snake untied the seven-color grass rope around his waist and threw himself into the fire.

"Ke'er, although you are not an evolutionary, you still need to learn some techniques of physical fitness and self-defense. You can ask the old man Jiayou as your teacher and let him teach you some skills, okay?" Grandmaster Huojiao asked.

"Okay!" Qin Ke'er responded crisply.It is naturally a rare good thing to have a master of the holy rank.

"This..." The refueling old man seemed a little hesitant.

"Ke'er, hurry up and pay homage to master." Grandmaster Huojiao urged.

"Disciple, I have met Master." After speaking, Qin Ke'er knelt down towards the old man.

Looking at the girl in front of him, the old man closed his eyes, then helped her up, and said, "If you don't dislike it, just be my seventh apprentice, even though your brothers and sisters have already carried me and go, but I cannot confiscate them."

"Yes, master." Qin Ke'er said softly.Seeing the unspeakable sadness in the old man's eyes, she couldn't help feeling pain in her heart, and her eyes turned red.

"Son... you... what's the matter with you..." Facing the little apprentice who suddenly burst into tears, the old man seemed a little at a loss.

"Happy, because I'm happy..." Grandmaster Huojiao hurriedly smoothed things over, "Ker, the Huojiao Temple is your home, and I'm also your half-grandfather, so I'll arrange a banquet for you, come here... He pulled his old friend's sleeve and said, "Have a good drink, today is a happy day..."

At this moment, the extraordinary Huojiao Grandmaster turned into a rascal, dragging and dragging the old man into the kitchen, persuading him to drink and stealing meat, making the old man dumbfounded.Qin Ke'er, who was at the side, saw that the usually unsmiling Grandmaster Huojiao looked like an old urchin at this moment, and laughed through his tears. Then he put on an apron and cooked side dishes for the two old people.

"Ke'er is a good boy, what housekeeping skills do you have, secret treasures, you can't hide them." Great Master Huojiao said, putting his arm on the old man's shoulder.

"What else can I have, except this gray robe..." At this point, the old man stopped, as if remembering something, groped for a while, and found a small rusty iron He picked up the box, called Qin Keer over, and handed it to her.

Opening the lid of the box, I saw that there was a cotton cloth inside, and a crimson serum lay in the middle, which was the fire of life worth tens of thousands of gold.
