Doomsday Totem

Chapter 50 The Messenger
This morning, the deep winter north wind rolled the residual snow and blew across Tieshan Town, rattling the tin roof.

In an instant, the thin snow covered the streets and alleys, turning the whole world into white.

At this time, a tall and thin middle-aged man was sitting in the communication room of the self-government association of Tieshan Town.He curled up, with a cup of hot tea in front of him, staring lazily ahead.His name is Lao Di, and he is the deputy captain of the garrison in Iron Mountain Town and the steward of Sergeant Lena.In winter, he has nothing to do.So every morning when he gets up, he will make a cup of hot tea, and then come here to be on duty.

Said to be on duty, but in fact there is nothing to do, just staring blankly at the front, looking at the vast expanse of whiteness.At this point in time, most people are still in bed, and no one wants to get up early.Of course, getting up early is useless, and there is no chance of making money in the deep winter of Tieshan Town.If you still want to go out at this time, you must not be prepared for the winter, and it is probably not far from freezing to death.

There was no movement on the street, as if there were only snowflakes in the sky and the earth.Lao Di took a sip of hot tea from his cup, then let out an "ah..." and exhaled a light white mist.The mist clings to the glass windows, blurring the vision.At this moment, something seemed to move in front of him!He hastily put down his teacup and wiped the glass with his cuff.

I saw a blurry figure walking towards him in the wind and snow ahead.

The man walked firmly, stepping on the snow, as if nothing in the world could stop him.

Lao Di is well-informed and can tell at a glance that people are not simple.That uniform and firm pace is not something that ordinary people can have.Only after experiencing the test of blood and fire and seeing the vicissitudes of the world can we have such a firm pace.

Even from a distance, he could feel the aura of the opponent.Standing like a pine, sitting like a bell, walking like the wind, this is the kind of person he is talking about.

As time passed, the vague figure gradually became clear. It was a well-proportioned middle-aged man, wearing a gray shabby shabby hat and a hat with a large round brim.It seemed that he was a traveler from far away, for the desert travelers in this part of the world are not in such attire.

Lao Di concentrated on staring at the front, and his body tensed up involuntarily. This kind of supernatural perception has pulled him back from the brink of life and death countless times.

In the blink of an eye, the distant traveler is getting closer...

A pair of shining eyes swept over, and the deep gaze made Lao Di tremble all over. This is a person who has really come out of the sea of ​​swords and flames!
Amid his uneasiness, the traveler came to the reception room, patted the glass window, and introduced himself, "Messengers from the North, please see Lina Eucrese." The voice was not loud, but powerful, making it impossible to refuse thought.

"What's the matter?" Lao Di asked cautiously.

"Message delivery." The traveler replied.

"Leave it to me." Lao Di explained, "This is the communication room of the self-government association, responsible for receiving all letters."

"I came on foot from the end of the world just to hand over the letter to Lina Yuklis." The traveler nodded slightly and asked, "Please convey the message of the northern messenger."

"Lina is the chairman of the self-government association in Iron Mountain Town. Not everyone can meet. You must explain your purpose before I can arrange a meeting." Lao Di insisted.

The traveler smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently placed it on the glass window.At this moment, the glass window was covered with thin cracks!Lao Di stared at him with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do! This... this is the territory of the Sand City Guard, you... what do you want to do!"

"Send the letter." The traveler withdrew his hand and said calmly.

Lao Di frowned and struggled for a while, finally gave up and went in to inform Lina.Traveler's hand fully demonstrated his incomparable force.At least in Iron Mountain Town, no one is his opponent.

A few minutes later, Lena received the traveler in her office.

The traveler took out a slender paper tube from the inner pocket of the bra, and solemnly handed it to Lina with his hands level.After handing over the letter, the traveler turned and left without stopping for a moment.

"Do you want to check it first?" Lao Di suggested, watching the back of the traveler leaving.

"No need." Lina narrowed her slender eyes and said, "If he wanted to harm someone, he would have done it just now. No one here is his opponent." After speaking, Lina carefully looked at the paper tube in her hand .

The paper tube is made of kraft paper. This craft is very old and no one uses it anymore.Unscrewing the paper cover, there is an old and yellow scroll inside, bound with red silk and satin, revealing an unspeakable vicissitudes.

Lina and Lao Di exchanged glances, neither of them could figure out the contents of the letter.

Opening the scroll, both of them were surprised at the same time, it turned out to be an invitation letter for admission from the temple!

A few months ago, Lina sent the aluminum lunch box with the badge of the holy wolf to the ancient temple, hoping that the temple could identify the authenticity of the lunch box, and also hoped to learn about Iron Slag's life experience.Unexpectedly, the temple did not reply for a long time, but sent such a letter in winter.

The letter sincerely invited the owner of the holy wolf badge to go to the northern temple to receive three-year training, including two years of training in the north, and the last year to go to the Central Silver City Military Academy for advanced studies.

This is an opportunity that people dream of. If you study at the Central Silver City Military Academy, even if you don't have a diploma, your status and status will be greatly improved!
Looking at the quaint font, Lena couldn't help thinking.

Will he still remember me that day?
Just when Lina thought of someone, there was someone who thought the same as her in the Rain Prayer Temple of NO.13 Silver City.

The fire flickered in the study of the temple, and the thick oak cabinets reflected the warm orange light.Sitting next to the stove was a dignified Priestess, leaning on the armrest of the sofa with one hand, propping up the side of her white face, flipping through the books on the armrest casually with the other hand.

Her eyes didn't have any focus, obviously she wasn't reading a book, but thinking about something.

At this time, a black-robed nun came over and said softly to the priestess on the sofa, "My lord, the second young master of the Soros family invited you to tonight's birthday party. He is waiting at the door now. What do you mean... ..."

Priestess stared at the fire ahead, and said calmly, "Ling Lan is the maid of the Rain God, and will serve the Rain God for the rest of her life. Let him go back."

"But...he has been waiting at the door for three hours, can you face to face..."

Mu Yulinglan raised her head and smiled faintly at the nun.She knew that this nun must have accepted the other party's favor, otherwise she wouldn't have said so much.

"All right……"

Seeing Priestess' persistent eyes, the nun sighed, performed a nun's salute, and then turned to leave.

After the nun left, Mu Yulinglan stood up, faced the corner of the study and ordered, "Xiao Qing, prepare the car."

As soon as the words were finished, a girl with ear-length short hair came from the shadows and said to her with a smile, "Sister Linglan, are you going to see the snow again?" some bad...

"En." Mu Yu Linglan nodded.

"Are you going to see my sister's sweetheart?" The girl asked innocently with an innocent expression.But anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is faking it!
"Ling Lan is the maid of the Rain God, and has no sweetheart..." Mu Yu Linglan replied indifferently, but the girl interrupted her, yelling coquettishly, "I am also the maid of the Rain God!"

"We are bathed in the grace of the Rain God together." The priestess said piously.

"Sister, do you think the Rain God will bless the little girl who is lying?" the girl asked aggressively.

"The omniscient and omnipotent God will forgive all sins." "Does it include a guilty conscience?" "Everything." "Does it also include blushing and heartbeat?"

"Okay, you're right, but we can't talk about this topic anymore." The priestess finally couldn't stand it anymore and admitted, but she continued, "I'm not from the same world as him, and I can't bring danger to him." he."

"Do you like him?" "I don't know... Seeing him, I will think of everything when I was a child, and I will think of my mother." "But why are you so kind to him?"

"Am I treating him well? So far I only gave him two pieces of cheese bread, which are mass-produced..."

"They said you gave him the blessing of the guardian knight."

"Is there?" Mu Yulinglan looked confused, as if this was really a rumor.

"They said..." the girl timidly replied.

"Xiaoqing, as a preparatory priest of the Rain God, you should read more books in your free time, instead of gossiping with secular women." Mu Yulinglan said seriously with a straight face.

"I'm going to prepare the car..." After finishing speaking, Xiaoqing left the study as if fleeing, and hurried to the basement to pick up the car.

A few minutes later, Mu Yulinglan walked out of the back door of the Temple of Prayer for Rain.A pure white car drove over, and then she got into the car and headed north.Not long after, the white car came to the edge of No.13 Silver City north.

This is a paradise in summer and a cemetery in winter.Residents of the Silver City love to come here for picnics in the summer.They were blowing the cool wind, eating delicious food, and watching all living beings on the ground.In winter, they prefer to chat around the warm fire.

There was heavy snow falling in the sky.Mu Yu Linglan got out of the car and walked to the edge of the city.Looking down from here, there is a vast expanse of whiteness on the ground, as if everything in the world is buried by ice and snow.

She stared into the distance, as if she could see through the snowflakes flying all over the sky, see that mountain, see that person...

"It's so cold." Xiaoqing wrapped her clothes tightly and squeezed towards Mu Yulinglan.

"If we feel cold, then his world must be colder."

"He won't be cold. I heard that he is going to become a rich man, at least on the ground." Xiao Qing said suddenly.

"Rich man? What rich man?"

"Uh... I just heard... maybe I heard it wrong..." Realizing that she had said something wrong, Xiao Qing quickly changed her words.

Looking at Xiaoqing's wandering gaze, Mu Yulinglan felt a deep chill.Although Xiaoqing likes to gossip with the nuns, she won't say what she shouldn't. This is the basic quality of preparing priests.But now, Xiaoqing seems to be hiding something.And Iron Slag is just an ordinary person on the ground, so it is impossible to attract the attention of Yincheng.How could his news reach NO.13 Yincheng.

Who is paying attention to him, and why?
