Doomsday Totem

Chapter 47 Gifts
Watching the besieged sandworms suddenly disperse, Lao Di patted his head habitually, trying to understand what happened.The sandworm swarm clearly had the upper hand just now, and they were about to rush into the position, but they retreated like a tide in a blink of an eye.With doubts, Lao Di picked up the binoculars and found that the swarm of insects in the distance had also calmed down.Seeing the sand and dust gradually dissipate, the doubts in his heart became even bigger.He had never heard that the sandstorm worm would miss the chance to devour humans.

Just when everyone was sighing, Tie Slag came back slowly riding the red comet.

Ye Xinling greeted her with three steps in parallel.She seemed to want to hug Tie Slag, but stopped abruptly.The air seemed to freeze in an instant.With tears on her face, she stared at the boy in front of her without saying a word.Perhaps the phrase "Life is only like meeting for the first time" describes her current mood.

"What's wrong?" Tie Slag asked with a dry smile.Facing this woman who was several years older than him, he felt an inexplicable guilt.Perhaps it was the unspeakable concern in her eyes that gave him the illusion of facing his elders.

"Master... Xinling just wants to... take a good look at you again." She murmured.

"It's okay, we'll go home right away." After Tie Zha finished speaking, he gently squeezed Ye Xinling's shoulder.At this time, Lao Di also rushed over and asked him how he escaped.But he showed a mysterious smile, which made the other person feel hairy.Then he rummaged through the dark green canvas bag on the side of the motorcycle for a while, and then opened his palm in front of Lao Di.I saw an oval object the size of a goose egg with a golden luster lying in the palm of his hand.

Lao Di opened his mouth wide and asked stammeringly, "This...this...this...is this?" Tie Slag snorted coldly, and then closed his palms together.Lao Di came back to his senses, and immediately begged cheekily, "Brother Tie, Brother Tie, please show me, please, just take a look..."

Tie Zha grinned, stuffed the thing into Ye Xinling's hand, and told her, "Hide it carefully, and don't let him see it."

Ye Xinling let out a "puchi" laugh, and then carefully put away the golden sandworm eggs.At this moment, she felt very relieved. This was a valuable item worth thousands of gold coins. She did not expect the owner to give it to her for safekeeping so easily. Perhaps he had already begun to trust her.

Next, Iron Slag convened a team to start the return journey...

The rest of the journey was uneventful.There are no sandworms, no sandstorms, and no danger. Every day is sunny and sunny, giving people the illusion of a vacation.The sand sea has always been like this. When it is ruthless, people are full of despair, but when it is quiet, it is so beautiful that people linger...

Three days later...

The team arrived at the Black Iron Bar in the evening, and Tie Slag arranged for everyone to have a meal of braised sand scorpions again.However, the atmosphere of this dinner party was a bit depressing. Everyone lowered their heads and ate the food on the plate in silence.

When they came to the place they used to be, thinking of the hustle and bustle before departure, they were all touched by the scene.Seeing that everyone was not very interested, Tie Slag talked about his adventures in the swarm at the dinner table, and then the atmosphere gradually became lively.

That day, after Iron Slag and the golden sandworm Zhizhiluo reached a consensus, Zhizhiluo asked Iron Slag why he came.Iron Slag admitted bluntly - he came to find the golden sandworm eggs.But Tie Slag changed the subject, saying that the reason he came to find the eggs of the golden sandworm was because he heard that the golden sandworm was a friend of human beings, so he wanted to raise a small sandworm.

The intelligent life Zhizhiluo really believed what Iron Slag said, so it gave Iron Slag a golden sandworm egg.Zhizhiluo hopes that in the future, humans and sandworms can coexist peacefully.

In fact, Zhizhiluo's idea is impossible to realize. How can the relationship between humans and sandworms hunting each other, food and stomach pouches be peaceful?

The defenders at the dining table were all amazed. They didn't expect the golden sandworm to be able to negotiate, talk, and be fooled just like humans...

Ye Xinling who was on the side was smiling with her lips pursed, she never thought that the master also had such a cunning side.

After eating and drinking, everyone was eager to return home, so they set off overnight...

In the early morning of the next day, when the thin morning light covered the rusty and mottled roofs, nine sand buggies lined up and drove into Tieshan Town facing the rising sun.

The guards in Zhenbei were awakened by the sound of roaring engines.He just wanted to call the parking team, but found that some of them were painted with the logo of the Iron Mountain Town Guard, so he had to close his eyes and continue to doze off.

The vehicle drove into the familiar street, and the guards cheered and rushed out of the car, scrambling to buy breakfast in the streets and alleys.During this period of time, they have experienced the danger of life and death, and they feel very kind to their hometown.

Iron Slag sat in the co-pilot's seat, and couldn't help grinning as he watched the defenders desperately stuffing breakfast into their mouths.Then he turned his head and said to Lao Di in the back seat, "As soon as possible, count the spoils, and then distribute the money to everyone, and give more pensions."

Lao Di nodded. The harvest of this operation was unexpectedly rich, and it can even be said to be a rewarding reward.In addition to the sand sea flying fish and golden sandworm eggs, they also seized four desert lizards (twelve-wheeled sand buggies produced by Wilderness Heavy Industries) owned by Blackrock mercenaries, as well as a large number of military equipment and various wilderness survival supplies.Lao Di made a rough estimate. Not counting the value of the sand sea flying fish and gold bug eggs, the market value of these sand buggies, equipment and supplies is at least 3000 gold coins.After filling the pensions of the five guards and various consumables, personnel rewards and other expenses, there is still a net income of at least 1800 gold
After the team members had finished their breakfast, Lao Di led the convoy back to the base camp of the defense team to deal with the spoils, while Tie Zha took Ye Xinling to the self-government council of Tieshan Town.

Not long after, the two arrived at the self-government hall, Tie Zha asked Ye Xinling to wait for him on the first floor, and then went up to the second floor by himself.However, when he pushed open the double doors of Lina's office, he was shocked by the scene in front of him!

It turned out that he saw a brand new motorcycle parked in the middle of the office!

The appearance of this locomotive is domineering and awe-inspiring, and it already exudes the temperament of a king just by stopping there.The pure black body is extremely shiny, even in the hazy morning light it is still dazzling.The dense jet bags are evenly distributed at the bottom of the locomotive, and a series of fine alloy pipes connect all parts of the car body. It seems that every part is devoted to the efforts of scientists and mechanics.This was the locomotive that Tie Slag had dreamed of, and he could proficiently describe the configuration and performance of this locomotive since he was a child.

Full air cushion, [-] jet bags, rear rocket fuel propulsion, [-] horsepower vector engine...

Tie Slag was stunned for a moment, and even forgot the purpose of coming here.This was the first time he had seen the actual motorcycle. In the past, he could only search for posters of this motorcycle in the garbage dumps in Yincheng, and then dreamed of owning it one day.

This is a dream motorcycle made by Harley Heavy Industries with all its efforts—Harley No. [-], also known as "Immortal Warhawk", which is more than one grade higher than "Fire Eagle".

"Yo~ When I saw my little lover, I even forgot about my sister..."

Lina Yuklis' voice of resentment came from next to her ear.Tie Slag came back to his senses, scratched his hair, and stammered rarely, "Lina...sister, how do you buy...buy..."

A long time ago, he knew that the price of this car was sky-high, but he had no idea what the price was.

"I didn't buy it, I can't afford such an expensive thing." Lina said faintly.

"How much?" Tie Slag asked.

"Thousands."

He couldn't help taking a breath, tens of thousands of gold coins, what kind of concept is this!
At this time, Lina dropped another blockbuster, and added, "Maybe there are more than that. It is said that only three Immortal Warhawks are produced a year, and they cannot be bought with money."

Tie Slag frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Who gave it to you!"

Seeing Tie Slag's nervous expression, Lina laughed "chichi", then walked to the desk on catwalks, opened the drawer, took out a letter and handed it to him.

The workmanship of the envelope was very exquisite, with hot gold thread on all four sides, and red wax for sealing, with a round seal on it, and the pattern of the seal was a circle of thorn flowers.

Open the letter, and there is a simple sentence in it:

"Do you think your back is handsome when you turn around? In my opinion, it's really ugly!"

Signed - Yugo Lombard

Looking at the beautiful handwriting, a delicate face appeared in front of his eyes, and he smiled unconsciously.Lina looked at his silly expression, and let out a "hum" full of jealousy.Iron Slag immediately reacted and explained to her seriously, "This is the reward for sending her home, which is fair."

"Baby~ Do you understand what this seal means?" Having said this, Lina's expression became serious.

"The Lombard family?" Iron Slag asked.

"And then?" "No, that's all I know."

"The Lombard family is the great nobleman of the 17th, [-]th, and No. [-] Silver City. The family symbol is a purple thorn flower, and they have voting rights in the joint council."

Tie Slag shook his head, expressing that he did not understand.Lina explained that the United Council is the supreme governing body of the world.There are a total of 150 eight members of parliament, and the Lombard family has three members.This means that the Lombard family has influence all over the world and is a real powerful aristocrat.

Tie Slag nodded first to express his understanding, then shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me, I will send her home, and she will pay me, maybe this is a bit much, but this amount of money should not be too much for them." What kind of."

"My sister has no objection to your association with them..." Lina said seriously, "including that priestess, Mu Yulinglan."

"Why?" Tie Slag asked.In his impression, Lina was easily jealous, but now he said such a thing, he felt incomprehensible.

"Because..." Lina stared at Tie Slag and said word by word, "They can change your fate."

"Old man Tie said that a man's fate depends on his own..."

Lina shook her head, stretched out her slender index finger to seal his mouth, and said softly, "No matter how great a person is... sometimes he is wrong..."
