Doomsday Totem

Chapter 57
In the depths of winter, the sky is covered with heavy snow, and the vast wasteland is dead silent.Looking up, there is only a vast expanse, and no trace of any living things can be seen.

However, in the city suspended above the wilderness, there is a different scene.

On the bustling shopping street, pure white horses trotted along, dragged exquisite floats, and strolled along the streets cut out of a whole block of granite.

Today is the annual Praise of the Gods Festival (New Year), and citizens flock to the streets to hold a grand parade.They praise the gods, appreciate the abundance and warmth of life, and embrace the wonders of this world...

At the forefront of the parade is a super-large float.Pulled by twelve strong Shire horses, the float is carved from thousand-year-old elm wood from the northern ice fields.The body pattern is simple and exquisite, and it is covered with a red and gold-edged blanket, and every place is covered with delicate and beautiful petals.

This gorgeous carriage seems to come from the top of the mountains of the gods, bringing the blessing of the rain god to the world.

However, no one seemed to notice all this...

Because there was a beautiful young girl standing on the carriage, her presence attracted all eyes and made everything around her pale.now.With a slight smile, the girl sometimes gave blessings to the crowd on both sides of the street.

This is Mu Yulinglan, the most popular priest of the Temple of Prayer for Rain.

While people were cheering for their priest, in the side hall of the Temple of Prayer for Rain, a middle-aged woman with a solemn expression was talking in a low voice with a young girl full of youth.This middle-aged woman is the chief priest of the Temple of Prayer for Rain. She just came back from the Central Silver City this morning.As soon as she stepped off the aircraft, she immediately summoned Mu Yuqin to come and ask questions.

"How are things going?" asked the Priest Qi Yu.

"Sorry, the mission failed..." Mu Yuqin pouted heartily, with a depressed expression on her face.

Priest Qi Yu held the girl's hand, showed a kind smile, and said, "It's okay, you are still young, it's just...the other party is not very good, why did your mission fail?"

So, Mu Yuqin told the whole story in detail, including a "female robber playing with a pen" who was killed halfway, and the subsequent investigation.

"Lena Yuklis, Miss Six of the Hiros Family in Sand City, the illegitimate daughter of the head of the family, Leighton Hiros, is currently the sheriff of Iron Mountain Town, and her term is three years." Finally she added, "and The relationship between the targets is a little... a little inexplicable."

"According to what you said, our warrior in red was seriously injured by her while wearing Twilight armor?" Mu Yuqin nodded heartily, and Priest Qi Yu sighed, "I didn't expect the Heros family There can also be a holy rank powerhouse."

"Holy rank! Impossible! That's not with you..." Mu Yuqin exclaimed in amazement.

"Even if it is not a holy rank, it is probably close. The red-clothed warriors of the shadow lineage are higher than the red-clothed warriors of the regular army, but they hide their true strength." Priest Qi Yu explained.

"However, the target has been severely injured by us, and may not survive."

"I didn't expect him to be a mutated insect. Things are even more troublesome. Lily of the Valley must not be allowed to come into contact with him again." Priest Qi Yu frowned and said.

"The target has been missing for a long time. About a month ago, the target burned down his stronghold, and no one has seen him since then." Mu Yuqin said with some uncertainty, "Xiao Qing guessed that he had left Tieshan Town .”

Hearing what Mu Yuqinxin said, Priest Qiyu seemed relieved.After being silent for a long time, she sighed deeply and said, "Xiaoqing, you two sisters have always had a very good relationship. I asked you to do this. Mom... Mom is sorry for you..."

"Mother...Xiao Qing knows that you are doing it for our own good." Mu Yuqin comforted her in a low voice.

"Both you and Lily of the Valley were brought back by me. You have all experienced the cruelty of this world." Priest Qi Yu patted the girl on the shoulder lightly and said, "Although our Notre Dame is a whole But in fact, each temple is relatively independent. Only with sufficient resources and force can we gain a foothold in this world. This temple of praying for rain is the painstaking effort of me and your aunt Jinghai. Young When we were together, we were just like you and Lily of the Valley, but it's a pity that Jinghai..." Speaking of emotion, Priest Qi Yu couldn't help but wiped his eyes.

Mu Yuqin put her arms around the shoulder of Priest Qiyu and said softly, "Xiaoqing understands..."

After a while, Priest Qiyu calmed down, restored his solemn expression, and said seriously, "Xiaoqing, two years later, when you turn 19, I want to send you to the Central Silver City for further studies. "

"Huh? Are you still studying? Aren't Suzuran and I studying every day? According to the school's standards, we both graduated with 'master' degrees."

Priest Praying for the Rain shook his head, and said, "The students of the Central Silver City Military Academy are all trained by major forces. If you and Lily of the Valley want to gain a foothold in this world, you must know more people in order to integrate into the circle at the top of the pyramid." .”

Listening to her mother's words, Mu Yuqin nodded with a half understanding...

At the same time, in another part of NO.13 Silver City, in an old and luxurious old European-style mansion, the butler and maids are busy decorating lights and preparing for the evening dance.

This is the residence of the Lei Ling family, one of the No.13 Yincheng six major families.

For the Lei Ling family, today is a special day.In addition to the traditional Praise Festival of the Gods, it is also the birthday of the current Patriarch.Every year at this time, Lei Ling's family will hold a grand ball, inviting celebrities and gentlemen from all walks of life to come to celebrate the New Year and celebrate the birthday of the old Patriarch.

For tonight's ball, Deputy Commander Carl Leiling, who was working at No. 13 Silver City military base, was wearing a light-colored evening dress at the moment, standing in front of the mirror and posing in various poses.In the end, he smiled at the mirror, and then nodded to himself, obviously very satisfied with the new custom-made dress, or with his own appearance.

"Fourth young master, you are so handsome." The lieutenant standing aside praised him with a thumbs up.

"Dalong, you can go up with me tonight, I have applied for a special pass for you."

"Ah! Really!" The lieutenant exclaimed with his mouth wide open.

"What? Don't believe me?" Carl laughed.

"No...no..." The lieutenant clasped his fists in his hands, and said seriously, "Thanks to the fourth young master for your attention, Dalong didn't handle the matter well, and the fourth young master not only didn't punish him, he was willing to take Dalong to the master's birthday party... At this point, the lieutenant suddenly knelt down on one knee and said as if taking an oath, "It is the honor of Dalong's life to be able to follow the young master."

"It's a pity that I didn't get the golden sandworm eggs, but that woman..." Carl seemed to recall what happened that day, and sighed with endless aftertaste, "It's really fun to play!"

The lieutenant laughed and said, "Fourth young master likes this tune, Dalong will find it for you next time."

Carl shook his head and said, "No, this kind of thing can't be done too much. If it is passed on to the higher authorities, it will be difficult for my father to explain."

The lieutenant waved his hand and said in a rough voice, "It's okay, it's okay, you are worrying too much, young master, who cares about the life and death of these garbage dogs below."

"Okay, stop talking, get ready to go." Carl seemed not to want to talk about this topic anymore, he waved his hand and signaled the lieutenant to go down and arrange the vehicles.It is a 13-minute drive from the ground transfer station of NO.10 Yincheng.When we arrive at the transfer station, we have to change to a hovering airship to go up.

Half an hour later, under the service of the lieutenant, Karl put on his windbreaker and walked out of the gate of the base against the oncoming wind and snow.At this time, there were five sand buggies parked in front of the base, two of which still had wolf-style mechs standing on them.Seeing this scene, Karl couldn't help but frowned, and asked, "Do you need to drive so many cars for such a short distance?"

"Bringing more talents is in line with the identity of the young master. The young master of Lei Ling's family is a big shot." The lieutenant replied seriously.Although he said so, there was a trace of fear in his eyes.Since he learned from Black Fang that the iron slag burned his stronghold, he disappeared.He has been having nightmares and often hallucinations, as if those wolf-like eyes have been staring at him.Unknowingly, he became more and more timid.Whenever he thought of this incident, he shuddered.

Karl smiled slightly, obviously enjoying the flattery of this subordinate.Then, with the support of the lieutenant, he got on the sand buggy and directed the convoy to the ground transfer station.

Heavy snow fell along the way. Although the distance was not very far, the bad weather greatly reduced the speed of the vehicle.

After more than 20 minutes, the convoy was only halfway there.At this time, the wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and the visibility outside the car window was very low, and only the scenery two to 30 meters away could be seen.But there is nothing outside, except snow or snow.

Carl glanced at his watch a little irritably. He hoped to catch up with the lunch at home, but the heavy snow was not what he wished.At this moment, he seemed to see something passing by outside the window.He frowned and took a closer look, but it turned out to be a common "Dead Sea Poplar" (a tree that can still grow in a harsh environment) in the wasteland, with bare branches swaying in the heavy snow.He didn't understand why the poet liked to praise this thin and ugly tree so much.In fact, as a nobleman of Yincheng, he didn't know this kind of extremely tough tree, just like he didn't know the people on the ground.

Just as he was about to curse, a fire suddenly appeared in front of him!Then came an earth-shattering bang!

"boom!"

In an instant, it seemed that the whole world was shaking, and the sharp tinnitus made people dizzy.The blast blast shattered the windows.The next second, a strong wind swept heavy snow into the car, and the car was in chaos.

Carl rolled out of the passenger seat.He had just recovered from the dizziness and hadn't had time to stand up straight.In the wind and snow, a strong light pierced through the layers of flying snowflakes and came head-on.The dazzling light made him unable to open his eyes, and he could only hear the roar of the locomotive, rushing from far to near!

"Chong!"

Accompanied by the sound of sharp blades cutting bones, his world changed. His body felt light and floating, as if he had flown into the sky. He was condescendingly looking down at the ground when he saw a red locomotive passing by.This is the last picture of his life, and then he fell into the boundless darkness...

At this time, on the other side of Karl, the scorched lieutenant struggled to climb out of the car window.He gasped, glad he was still alive.But just as he raised his head, he saw a dark man standing in front of him.The man was holding a half-person-high heavy machine gun, with the thick barrel aimed at his head.

"Sister! Brother Niu avenged you!"

The black man growled!The heavy machine gun responded to his anger!
"Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da..."

The pouring bullets mercilessly tore the animal in front of him into pieces!Horrified screams, desperate wailing, mixed with howling north wind, spread far away...

In the blizzard, there were flames everywhere, and finally everything was calm.

After more than 20 minutes...

In front of the new soil bag on the dwarf hill, there were two more figures.

"Where are you going?" Tie Slag looked up into the distance and asked casually.

"I'm going to the south. A few years ago, my master asked me to go to the south to join my patriarch. I've never been too lazy to go, but now I just go to have a look." Lao Niu replied with a simple smile.

Tie Slag stared at the brother in front of him, firmly stretched out his hand, and Lao Niu held it tightly.Afterwards, the two parted ways in silence...

Not long after, Iron Slag appeared on the side of the Tieshan Town Self-Government Association.Now that he has committed a heinous crime, it is tantamount to making an enemy of the silver city nobles in the whole world, so he will not contact Lina again.Perhaps in a few hours, the sheriff of Tieshan Town will be pressured by all parties and helplessly issue a warrant for his arrest.

He came here just to take another look at that familiar window.There are many memories of him here, as well as the warmth that he never had in his childhood.

"wait for me."

Thinking silently in his heart, the young man slowly raised his head, and then tapped the red button vigorously!
[Captain, the injection mode has been activated, the electric charge is 99%, and the high-pressure nitrogen level is 80%]
Accompanied by the sound of the girl's synthesized voice, the twelve jet bags of the red comet were activated simultaneously, and the fuel thrusters ejected orange-red tail flames to the rear.The speed of the locomotive soared to the extreme in an instant, turning into a meteor and flying towards the end of the world...
