Last Totem Novel - Chapter 376
Chapter 376 Drink
A few days later, at Dr3714-2-8.
That night, a bone-chilling north wind blew across the dead surface of the lake, sweeping ice dregs and broken snow into the human strongholds by the lake, whistling through the streets and alleys, causing wooden boards and stone houses to creak. Suddenly, the flames came out from the cracks in the house, reflecting the shaking figure on the snow. Not only did it not bring any warmth, it also made the surroundings even more strange and serene.
Although it was dark and cold outside, the Changshui Bar was warm and lively, as if it was a different world. The guests gulped down their drinks and clamored loudly. The girls were dancing sexy pole dances on the small round tables, and several waitresses in aprons were busy walking through them.
At this moment, in the noisy crowd, a square-faced man was sitting alone in a corner, his hands crossed over his chest. His gaze stopped on the empty wine cup in front of him, as if he was lost in thought.
A few days ago, a hunter claimed to have found an underground refuge in the depths of the cemetery left behind by the ancient nuclear war, hoping to recruit teammates to explore. One of his friends joined the expedition, but they never came back. It had been almost a month, but there was still no news. Exploration of underground shelters can be safe or dangerous.
There were many similar underground shelters in the southern cemetery, all built before the Great Ancient Nuclear War. But in the war that followed, the entire southern continent was destroyed. High concentrations of radiation penetrated into the soil and penetrated through thick reinforced concrete. Even shelters deep underground were inevitably contaminated by radiation. Most of the people who lived inside died, only a small portion survived. Under the influence of intense radiation, their bodies underwent mutations and gradually lost their human minds over a long period of time. He had become a “living dead” who lived without death and relied on animal instincts.
They had no thought, no language, no reproduction, but their vitality was extremely powerful. In the absence of food, they can enter eternal dormancy. Moreover, their strength was extremely powerful. According to the standards of the Templar Knights, even the lowest living dead possessed the strength of a Golden Beginner. Among them, there were even Diamond Beginner, or even existences that surpassed the human Saint Beginner.
From this, it could be seen that in the process of their exploration, they were likely to encounter dangers. He wanted to organize people to search, but very few hunters were willing to leave the Blackwater stronghold at this time. The severe cold would aggravate the necrosis of the subcutaneous tissues. Even if he had enough Fordling, it would be difficult to resist the high concentration of radiation. Moreover, he did not have much Fordling.
Just as he was worried, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.
He looked at the man in a gray robe, sitting in a capable posture, carrying a spear and a sword on his back. Although the opponent was wearing a hood and couldn’t see his appearance clearly, it wasn’t difficult to tell from his steady breathing and quick movements that he was a veteran warrior.
Silently, the air seemed to freeze. Both sides were secretly examining each other, but no one spoke first.
After a long time, the gray-robed man suddenly broke the silence and slowly said, “Friend, we seem to have met before.”
“Where is it?” The square-faced man looked at the empty wine cup in front of him and asked indifferently.
“Sandstorm Castle, Grand Rum.” The gray-robed man said.
“Who are you?” The square-faced man raised his head and stared at the other party. His eagle-like sharp gaze seemed to have pierced through the thick canvas headgear and landed in the other party’s eyes. He couldn’t remember when he had met someone like him at the Grand Rum Bar. Even if he couldn’t see his appearance clearly, he could tell from his temperament. He was sure that he had never seen such a person before. However, the other party’s voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it before. For a moment, he was confused.
The gray-robed man did not answer. He just stood up, moved his chair, and slowly took a step back. When he stood firmly, he suddenly shouted in a deep voice, and his entire body immediately grew out a thick shell of insects. At the same time, the six long knuckles slowly spread out behind him …
The square-faced man was stunned, and his entire body began to tremble. Immediately after, he pushed away the tables and chairs and stood up. With a loud shout, worm shells appeared all over his body, and the six knuckles on his back suddenly jumped out!
In an instant, the entire bar quieted down. Everyone turned their heads to look at the two insecticides who were confronting each other, thinking that there was a conflict between them. However, after waiting for a long time, they did not see the two of them make a move, so they shouted a few curses in disappointment and turned around to continue drinking and eating.
“I’m Tie Zha Northess.” The gray-robed man lifted his hood and revealed a young and resolute face.
The faint light of fire reflected on his familiar face. Everything in the past seemed to have happened yesterday. Just like the past, he almost shouted out another name-Raven!
The resonance from his bloodline stirred his heart, but he quickly calmed down and calmly asked, “Tie Zha, where did you grow up?”
“Tieshan Town, my foster father is an old man who picks up trash.” Tie Zha replied calmly.
“Are … are … what you said true?” Hagrid Northess muttered in a daze. He seemed to have returned to the snowy night twenty years ago. He stood in a dilapidated hotel and watched as his brother carried his brothers away one by one. He endured the pain of separating his bones and flesh, but there was nothing he could do about it …
At that time, for the first time, he felt helplessness that penetrated deep into his bone marrow. Even though he was unstoppable, fearless, and fearless, he could not change anything. Since the death of the raven, he had suffered another heavy blow, so much so that he had been immersed in alcoholic anesthesia for a long time, not wanting to do anything.
Tie Zha did not say anything, only nodded firmly. Although they hadn’t spoken to each other, they had an indescribable sense of familiarity. That feeling was the same as the first time he saw Northas’ genealogy. It was intimate and familiar, as if there was an invisible thread connecting them.
“Fifth brother … you really are fifth brother!” As he spoke, tears blurred Hagrid’s vision.
Twenty years …
Twenty years ago, they had no news of each other. They grew up like strangers, facing this cold world alone.
“Kuang!”
In silence, he suddenly strode forward, knocking over the round table between the two of them and hugging the brother he had never met before.
He would never forget that night when he personally carried his sleeping brothers out of their cradles and handed them over to his eldest brother.
From then on, they were separated from each other, and there was no news …
After a long time, Hagrid regained his calm. He let go of Tie Zha, patted his shoulder, then faced north, knelt down devoutly, and whispered, “Thank you for your ancestor’s protection, thank you for the mercy of heaven, and yet another boundless sword was washed out of its sheath and cast the glory of the sacred flame!”
Hearing Hagrid’s chanting, Tie Zha could only feel the blood boiling all over his body. From now on, he also had a relative!
After a while, the two returned to normal and sat down again.
“Re-acquaintance, I am Hagrid Northess, the Walkers of the Earth.” Hagrid reached out to Tie Zha.
“I am Tie Zha Northess, the guardian of the Holy Wolf.” Tie Zha gripped Hagrid’s wide hand tightly.
“Right” Hagrid seemed to recall something as he shook his hand. He groped up and down, then took out a mottled badge from his underwear belt and put it into Tie Zha’s hand.
“This is your eldest brother’s clan emblem. You will inherit it now.” Hagrid said.
Looking at the faint flames, the surface of the badge was potholed. Although the wolf head and the three swords in the wolf’s mouth were already blurry, the wolf’s eyes were still lifelike and its gaze was sharp.
“I heard Old Blind say that he is a hero.” Tie Zha stared at the badge in his hand and said slowly.
“Yes.” Hagrid nodded, then turned around and shouted at the bartender at the bar, “Two of the strongest rums!”
Not long after, the waitress brought two large glasses of rum to the table. Tie Zha put away the badge and pop out an atonement coin, but at this moment, Hagrid also pop out an atonement coin.
“Clang clang clang clang” Two coins inscribed with the old Pope fell into the plate at the same time. The waitress was stunned for a moment, looked at the two puzzled and asked, “Which one of you pays?”
The two of them did not say anything, but quietly picked up their wine glasses and drank.
“Which one of you pays?” The waitress asked again.
The two of them still didn’t say anything and drank on their own.
“If you don’t talk, I’ll take it as a tip.” The waitress threatened.
The two of them still didn’t speak.
The waitress smiled and said, “Then I’ll take it as a tip.”
The two of them still … didn’t say anything.
‘”Alright then, thank you two, but I have to make it clear in advance that I won’t accompany/sleep with you ~” the waitress said.
Not only did the two of them not say anything, they didn’t even roll their eyes.
“Abnormal!” The waitress cursed in her heart and left with a cramped smile. She felt uneasy about taking this tip, but not taking it was not …
“Fuck!” After the waitress left, Hagrid raised his glass and said one word.
The two brothers exchanged a glance and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, Hagrid turned around and was about to call for a second glass of wine when he suddenly heard “Touch!” There were two soft sounds. Looking back, there were two glass bottles of wine on the table. The bottle was embellished with silver shield badges, flickering in the flames. It was two expensive “Misera VSOP”, commonly known as angel wine.
“Drink.” Tie Zha raised his hand to signal.
“Where did you get it?” “I picked it up.” “That’s right.” “Not bad.” “Drink.” After saying that, Hagrid took a bottle, bit open the cork, and took a big mouthful.
“Ah …” Hagrid exhaled heavily and sighed, “Fun!”
Tie Zha took the other bottle, bit open the cork, and slowly poured it into the glass before drinking.
“You” Hagrid, who was holding the wine bottle, looked at Tie Zha in displeasure and hesitated.
“Habit.” Tie Zha elegantly sipped the wine and said. There weren’t many good wines now, so it was a waste to not be so stuffy and ignorant as low-quality wines.
“We, Northas, never use glasses.” Hagrid said.
“Is that so?” Tie Zha asked.
“This is our tradition.” Hagrid said.
“Alright.” After saying that, Tie Zha poured the wine back into the wine bottle, picked it up, and gently sipped it …
