Last Totem Novel - Chapter 421
Chapter 421 Test
“Alright.” Tie Zha replied straightforwardly.
Bi Qinglan’s words carried a strong hint of conspiracy. Although he could not understand what was going on, it did not prevent him from agreeing first, stabilizing the other party, and then acting according to the situation. In any case, he did not suffer any losses.
‘”I’ll send William Rinehart’s contact information to Bi Tianye’s communicator later. You can try to contact him at the right time. I’m sure he won’t disappoint you.” Bi Qinglan said.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded.
“Good!” Bi Qinglan smiled and said, “If you can be so good all the time, maybe I can’t help but fall in love with you.”
“You’re flattering me.” Tie Zha said honestly.
Bi Qinglan raised her hand and said, “Alright, it’s alright, you’re gone.” Her movements were like driving flies away.
“Alright.” Tie Zha resisted the urge to smash the communicator and said humbly.
After the video communication ended, Tie Zha left the guest room and went to the sacred fire altar alone. He sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at the quietly burning flames. He was dumbfounded …
What exactly was the lightning hammer’s trial? If he succeeds, what will happen to him in the future? He knew better than anyone that it was only a matter of time before the Temple could find him sooner or later. It was also impossible for him to hide in the Ancient Temple, bringing destruction to this place. As the guardian of the Holy Wolf, his pride would never allow him to accept the protection of any organization. He could only face it bravely.
However, if he failed and the lightning hammer was snatched away in the end, when everything returned to its original point, would all the efforts he had put in now be worth it?
In his thoughts, he remembered what the Ancient Prophet had said just now.
“If extinction is our destiny, the Ancient Era’s bloodline will accept it calmly.”
At that time, he could feel the calmness, calmness, and determination of the Great Prophet.
“Although there aren’t many of us left, we’ve never been afraid of any faction!”
In the dim light of the fire, he seemed to have seen Cozan’s figure and heard the gentle yet powerful voice.
This was the glory of the glorious Sacred Flame. This was the courage given by 29,512 heroes. In the face of undefeatable enemies, in the face of inevitable defeat, they still uphold the faith in their hearts, until death do us part.
As their successor, he shouldn’t be afraid of his hands and feet, disgracing the glory of his ancestors.
“If failure is our destiny, we will accept it calmly.” Tie Zha said to himself in his heart.
“Child, are you ready?”
When it was dark, a gentle voice came from behind him. Turning his head, he saw that it was the Ancient Prophet dressed in a white robe and covered in white hair.
“I’m all set.” Tie Zha stood up and said.
The Great Ancient Prophet looked at him and finally nodded. He silently walked to the altar, took out his hammer and staff, raised his head high, and collided with each other.
“Keng …”
A long and far-reaching rumble resounded through the heavens and earth, and the ancient hammer and staff instantly glowed with a golden light of tens of thousands of feet.
“Lost heroes, please guide our descendants. We need the wisdom of a thousand years, the eyes of the past and the future, and the successor of the lightning hammer …”
In the chanting sound, the holy flame split into strands and flew onto the lightning hammer, circling around like a companion star.
Tie Zha took the lightning hammer and walked down the pitch-black stone steps.
In the darkness, he leaned against the flames on the lightning hammer and slowly walked forward.
After an unknown amount of time, a beam of light gradually appeared in front of him. He walked over calmly, but the beam of light became brighter and brighter, like a spotlight directly shining on his eyes, causing people to feel dizzy. As time passed, that beam of light became more and more dazzling. In the end, he couldn’t see anything …
Not long after, his surroundings suddenly darkened and his vision gradually recovered. Looking around, the space here was very narrow and rectangular. There was only a small bed, a small cabinet, and a small wooden table. From the two iron doors in front of him, it could be seen that this was the interior of a container.
Looking at the familiar scene, he quickly walked forward, pushed the door open, and walked out.
Under the dazzling sunlight, a tall, skinny old man was crouching on the ground with his back facing him, fiddling with some mechanical parts.
“Iron… Iron…” In an instant, a familiar title almost blurted out. However, his voice was stuck in his throat and he could not shout.
“You’re up?” “Yes.” “Let’s go to town.” “Alright.” “Do you have a gun?” “Yes.” “Have you checked?” “I checked.” “Alright, let’s go.”
The scene changed and they arrived at the town. The old man lifted a greasy rag curtain and walked out of the parts market.
“Do you want cow skin candy?” “Eat.” “Let’s go.”
After a while, the two of them crossed the street and arrived at the store. The old man went forward to buy two long pieces of brown candy wrapped in newspapers and stuffed them into him.
“You can go and play. I’ll wait for you here.” After saying that, the old man took out a small stool from his cloth bag and sat down in front of the store.
He knew that no matter how long he left, half an hour, an hour, two hours, or even more than ten hours, as long as he returned, he would be able to see the old man sitting there waiting for him. It had been like a day for many years, and the wind and rain would not change …
A few hours later, the sun set in the west and it was evening.
“Fighting with someone?” “Yes.” “Why?” “He snatched Xiao Yu’s candy and hit her.” “And then?” “I broke his hand.” “What else?” “He’s Greyhound’s son.”
“Oh … this is a bit troublesome, but …” The old man smiled and touched his head. “Good fight!”
“Old man Tie, your son interrupted my son’s hand. Tell me a reason!”
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded from behind him. Soon after, dozens of men armed with guns rushed out from the alleys and surrounded them.
“What reason do you need?” “Children fighting, do you really need to be ruthless?” “What do you want?” “I want justice. Your son must also break a hand!”
“Alright, I’ll give you justice.” After saying that, the old man pulled out his machete and the surrounding people were shocked. They involuntarily took a few steps back. In the next second, he raised his saber and cut off a finger from his left hand. Blood immediately splashed out!
“You! Good … you’re a hero, let’s forget about this.” “Wait …” “What?” “Go back and tell your son not to provoke him again. Otherwise, I’ll break his hand again next time!”
“You!” The other party was speechless for a moment. He pointed at the old man and was speechless. Finally, he shook his hand and turned around to leave while cursing, “Madman! What a fucking madman!”
Not long after, the surrounding people dispersed.
“I’m sorry …” “It’s fine. Next time he dares to provoke you, beat him so hard that he’ll take a detour whenever he sees you in his life!” “Alright.” “Let’s go home.” “Yes.”
The scene once again turned around and appeared in the garbage truck. The old man was covered in blood and half of his body was buried in the garbage. He was watching him.
“Survive …”
Then, the old man closed his eyes for good and went away quietly …
Suddenly, a thick fog surrounded him. When the fog dissipated, he saw a broken body, a pair of empty eyes.
Seemingly aware of his existence, she smiled with difficulty, and two small dimples of sweetness could be vaguely seen.
“Tell me who did it. I will make him suffer tenfold.” He said seriously.
“Xin Ling is just an ordinary woman. Master doesn’t need to take risks for Xin Ling.”
“Master, Xin Ling has another question that I’ve been wanting to ask you.”
“Do you like me?”
She murmured, her voice getting softer and softer. In the end, everything returned to calm …
The mist once again surged in and dissipated.
This time, he appeared in the collapsed temple.
“Child, please don’t be sad. This is the way we inherit the insects.” The old man struggled to raise his hand, gently stroking his head and comforting him in a low voice, “My teacher did the same …”
After a while, the old man took out a letter from his pocket with trembling hands and put it into his palm. Then, he gripped it tightly and said, “Child, live well …”
He nodded forcefully.
As he was dying, the old man looked at the flames and whispered, “Friends, Cozan is here …”
The thick fog once surrounded him, and he could not see anything except the white mist.
In the silence, obscure whispers came from afar.
“Why are all the people who love you gone?”
“Was it this cruel world that caused all of this?”
“Is it the Temple?”
“Is it the World Council?”
“Or is it the darkness of the heart?”
Tie Zha shook his head.
“Then why?” Asked the voice.
“If I had enough strength and wealth, Old Man Tie would be able to live longer.”
“If I hadn’t angered Carl Leylin and his subordinates, Ye Xinling wouldn’t have died in vain.”
“If I hadn’t caused trouble, Cozan wouldn’t have had to sacrifice himself.” He replied.
“Is it all your fault?” Asked the voice.
“Some things could have been avoided, but I messed up …” he said.
“Is there any other reason?” The voice asked.
“I can only find the reason from myself, because I can’t change other people.” He said.
“There is always evil in this world. We can’t always back down.” Said the voice.
“I’ve never given in to disgusting things. It’s just that sometimes I feel like I can handle them in a better way.” He said.
Then, the sound disappeared, and the entire world fell into silence again.
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
“You are wrong, dirty, evil beings.” “You are not humans, you should not exist!”
At the same time, there was another voice that was similarly familiar.
‘”Take back your ability and your words. I’ll pretend I didn’t see or hear anything. I still love you …” “Darling, let’s go home, shall we?” “I’m still your princess, and you’re still my knight, okay?”
In the chaotic voice, the fog dissipated once again.
The sky was gray and hazy. Occasionally, a gust of strong wind blew past, spinning on the ground. Clumps of tiny ash flew up and scattered into the air.
Countless banners fluttered in the wind and hunted in the desolate land.
One side was dazzling with golden armor while the other side was dazzling with silver
“Wu …”
“Dong dong dong …”
Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!
As the horn blew, the war drums rang out in unison, swords were unsheathed, and streaks of cold light pierced through the darkness. In the blink of an eye, with the sound of iron boots stepping on the ground, the golden torrent collided with the silver torrent, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!”
He held a silver sword in his hand and wore silver armor as he charged at the front of the group. Wherever the blade of the sword came, it was invincible, killing all over the place, blood flowing into rivers.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the crowd. Holding a golden sword, he stabbed straight at his chest!
Clang!
His horizontal sword blocked upwards, shaking off the golden edge of the sword. Then, he strode forward and slashed down with his sword.
“Ah!”
In an instant, her silhouette turned into a charming woman, her silver hair fluttering and her starry eyes sparkling. He was instantly shocked. He hurriedly withdrew his strength and twisted his body. Only then could he stop the sword momentum.
“Puchi!”
However, the other party took advantage of the moment his body lost its balance and stabbed at him with his sword. The golden sword immediately penetrated his body, his throat sweetened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
“You” His line of sight gradually blurred, and his life seemed to be fading away from him.
“I’m sorry” The girl cried as she stared at him.
“It’s fine, I owe you this” He reached out his hand to touch the girl’s face, but he couldn’t lift it up.
“Do you hate me?” The girl asked.
He shook his head. Although they were enemies, he had never hated her, even if she killed him.
The girl murmured and stood up absentmindedly, “I’m sorry … I’m sorry …” Then, she suddenly grabbed the golden sword with both hands and stabbed it into her chest.
“No!” He struggled and wanted to stop it, but another mouthful of blood spurted out.
As the girl fell, the entire world darkened and turned pitch black. He looked around blankly but couldn’t see anything.
“Child, as you can see, hatred can’t solve any problems. Only love can create miracles and create immortal glory.” A gentle voice entered his ears, but the person who spoke seemed to be on the other side of the river.
“The heroes love this world and you so much that they chose to fight to the end until they die.”
“My name is Afterglow Lorenfeld. This is the last set of messages I have left in the lightning hammer.”
“When you hear my voice, it means that you have passed the test of the heroes and become the successor of the lightning hammer.”
“Now, in the name of the ancestors of the Temple of Glory, I grant you the position of Warsong Shaman, commander of the Divine Wolf Heavy Armored Guards, and in the name of the Thunderhammer, summon the glorious flames of the world, as well as all those who believe in the Glorious Sacred Flame.”
The voice paused for a moment before continuing, “Child, this is our last fortune. Go and receive it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a map appeared in front of Tie Zha. One of its positions was glittering with dazzling starlight. It was a valley in the middle of a mountain range.
