Chapter 5 Totem Poles
Chapter 5 Totem Pole ()
The masters of the Yuan Continent are like clouds and strong people are like rain. All the masters and strong people have a common name... Totem Master!
Once a person becomes a powerful totem master, he will naturally teach his unique secret skills to his descendants. If his descendants are good at managing, they will form a powerful "totem family" like a snowball.
The most powerful totem family on the mainland is undoubtedly the Reinhardt family, known as the "first totem family in a thousand years".
The owner of Jiangnan, Earl of West, is one of the members of the Reinhardt family.
Of course, he is just an unimportant peripheral member. His farm is also thousands of kilometers away from the Rhine home headquarters.
Jiangnan has gradually learned about the above things, but on the way to the threshing farm, Tom still talked endlessly.
Jiang Nan was a little impatient when he heard this, so he shrugged, looked at the dark clouds in the sky and said, "Okay, the moonlight is very good tonight, what do you think?"
"Okay, OK, I'll just say it simply!"
Tom understood what Jiangnan meant and smiled embarrassedly, "Our opportunity to get rid of slave status is related to the headquarters of the Rhine family!"
"Last night, a big man named "Jiji" came to the Rhine home headquarters! Do you know what he is here to do?"
Tom danced excitedly, "Butler Gigi said that the Rhine family headquarters needed a large number of young and middle-aged people. He ordered the Count to contribute two thousand strongest male slaves before noon today. He asked us to go to the threshing farm, just to ask Butler Gigi to choose."
As he said that, Tom fell into a beautiful fantasy, "Hehe, once we are chosen by the butler Gigi, we will automatically eliminate the identity of slaves and become commoners belonging to the Reinhardt family!"
"Rody, we are all the youngest and strongest slaves, we will definitely be selected by the butler Gigi!"
common people……
This is really great news for Tom, who was a slave for seven generations, and his parents died, and he was free from worries.
But Jiang Nan couldn't speak. He looked sad and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Is only young and middle-aged slaves qualified?"
Tom was silent, too, "Yeah."
Only young and middle-aged people are qualified, so what should Aunt Alisha do?
Can I leave my aunt behind and be a noble commoner by myself? In this way, my aunt will have no way to die!
Jiangnan stopped.
Tom saw Jiang Nan’s thoughts and comforted him: “Rody, you can make money by being a civilian first, and then redeem Aunt Alisha!”
"Tom, you know Aunt Alisha's body, I'm afraid... she was dead before I redeem her!"
Jiang Nan suddenly turned around and said, "I'm going back to feed the pigs, Mr. Tom, good luck!"
"Hey, don't you go to the threshing farm to participate in the selection?"
Jiangnan's pace was firm and hesitated.
But at this time, the threshing ground was approaching. A strong black man saw Jiangnan and Roddy, and also saw their young and strong bodies, and waved, "Oh, these are two good slaves. Here we come, let's take a look!"
The nigger, who is more than two meters tall and has a muscle, is wearing a golden silk robe and a melon-skin hat, speaks... and he is actually a sissy!
A thug immediately came up and urged Jiangnan, "Roddy, why are you still standing there? This is the butler of Jiji from the family headquarters. Come on, come quickly!"
Jiang Nan sighed. As a slave, he had no way to refuse the thug.
OK, just show that you are a patient, and you will deliberately lose the election and stay to take care of your aunt!
Thinking of this, Jiang Nan held his breath and gently pointed it before his third and fourth ribs...
Suddenly, his complexion turned flushed, as if he had a cold or fever.
For a medical professor, pretending to be sick is too easy.
Sure enough, butler Gigi approached and saw that Jiang Nan, who was strong in body, actually looked sick. He couldn't help but glared at him, turned to look at Tom and said, "Oh, strong slave, what's your name?"
"Do you know? My name is Tom!"
Jiang Nan stood in the slave team. He was not interested in listening to the conversation between the two and looked at the nearby situation absent-mindedly.
After only a few glances, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere!
In the past, there were only two or three hundred slaves working in the threshing ground, so few thugs maintain order. Even if today is a big day for slaves to gather, all 280 thugs on the farm are enough to maintain order. But today... in addition to the threshing ground, there are still two or three thousand soldiers surrounded by soldiers near the threshing ground!
Black heavy armor, fiery red cloak, all with long bows and short swords. Thousands of soldiers stood outside the threshing ground, standing upright without a trace of strange noise!
What an elite army!
And just behind the army, there were twelve huge pillars, the thickness of the water tank, twelve meters high, all covered with red cloth.
"Do you know what these pillars do?"
As soon as he heard this catchphrase, Jiang Nan knew that Tom was back and looked at Zhuzi without looking back, "Do you know?"
"Hehe, butler Gigi has told me. These pillars are called 'totem poles' and are specially designed to test 'totem talent'!"
"Check the totem talent?"
"Yes, they can detect whether you are qualified to be a great totemist."
Jiang Nan finally turned around and looked at Tom in confusion, "What do you want these totem poles to select some strong labor force?"
Tom was about to explain, but at this moment, butler Gigi saw that the slaves were almost gathering, so he raised his orchid and signaled that the slaves would all come to him to gather.
"Oh, the strong little guys, all are here, all are here! I have something to tell you!"
Jiangnan had goose bumps. After a look, except for Tom, a fanatic who was eager to get rid of his slave identity, other slaves were also quietly scratching the itch.
Jiji Butler said: "There are two things that people are here! First, select two thousand strong slaves and go to Xianzhicheng, the headquarters of the Rhine family, to be commoners... This is simple. You carry a hundred kilograms of rice and run around the threshing farm for three laps. The first two thousand people to the finish line are selected!"
"As for the second thing...hehehe, they have to select a group of strong men to join the direct army of the Rhine family headquarters!"
join the army!?
Suddenly there was a silence in the threshing ground.
If the word "commoner" can make the slaves tremble with excitement, then joining the army... can make them go crazy with excitement!
In the continent of Hara, the status and treatment of soldiers are the highest among all professions. Even the most ordinary cook can get a military pay of twenty silver coins per month! In other words, as long as you serve in the army for half a year, you can buy the strongest male slave!
"Huh? Why don't you talk anymore?"
Butler Jiji clapped his hands slightly on his chest, "I understand! You are so excited that you can't speak. Is that true?"
No one thinks Gigi's sissy is disgusting. On the contrary, the slaves think that this is fucking sound of nature!
"But, don't be too happy too early! Not everyone in the Rhine family's army can join. If you want to join the army... you must have "totem talent"!"
Jiangnan glanced at the twelve totem poles and had guessed what they were doing.
Sure enough, butler Jiji also twisted his butt to the vicinity of the totem pole. He patted the pole and said, "Do you see these twelve poles? They are used to detect the 'totem talent'. Remember, after running, you come to the totem pole directly. If the totem pole detects that you have the totem talent, you have the chance to become a noble totem master... Oh, congratulations, you are the soldier master!"
At this time, a general in the army stood up and shouted: "Now, follow my orders, all the slaves will carry the rice and start running! After running, gather directly under the totem pole and start testing their talents!"
"ah!!!"
Tom, who was prepared, roared, put all his strength to carry a hundred kilograms of rice, and rushed to the front like crazy, "Do you know? I must be the first place!"
The other slaves were a little stunned, but immediately reacted. One of them shouted at the people around him, "Second brother, why are you still standing there? I want to be a commoner, want to join the army, run away!"
"In order not to be a slave anymore, run away!"
Among the thousands of fanatical slaves, Jiangnan seemed very different. He slowly resisted a hundred kilograms of rice and ran at the end of the team with several old slaves in his fifties.
In fact, Jiangnan's physical condition is a little better than Tom. If he wants to be in the first place, almost no one can compete for him, but he cannot run in the first place, and he cannot be a commoner thousands of miles away!
Otherwise, who will take care of Aunt Alisha who depends on each other!?
The threshing farm is about 100 meters in one lap. It runs fast and arrives at the finish line in more than 20 minutes.
Tom was really the first one. He was so tired that he couldn't get angry, but he forced himself to breathe and thrust his chest and shouted: "Mr. Officer, do you know, my name is Tom!"
"Very good, Tom, commoner, this is the proof of your escape from your slave identity!"
The officer handed Tom a small badge on the spot, and then he lifted a red cloth from the totem pole and shouted: "Tom, commoner, now I order you to lean on the totem pole, close your eyes to sense the surrounding environment. The totem pole will judge your talent!"
Is this the way to detect totem talents?
Jiang Nan, who was still two laps before he could finish the run, looked over curiously, and saw Tom leaning on the totem pole, holding his hands tightly, and praying constantly, "Do you know? Do you know, do you know I'm very excited now?"
Sudden!
Dong, Dong, Dong!
The earth sounded a wave of roar, and then a huge black cloud floated on the totem pole. Above the black cloud was a piece of rock the size of a palm, with clear edges and edges.
What does this mean? Tom looked at the officer nervously...
The officer smiled, "Having a rock-like body, you can communicate with rocks in nature, and have the opportunity to summon rocks for your 'faith totem'! Mr. Tom, you are no longer a commoner, you have the opportunity to become a noble rock totem division, the Reinhardt family, the headquarters is directly under the guard, welcome you!"
"ah!"
Tom raised his head, burst into tears, and shouted heart-wrenchingly, "Dad, grandpa, grandpa, great-grandpa... Do you know? Tom is no longer a slave! Tom is a soldier!"
"Congratulations, Tom..."
Jiang Nan smiled bitterly and ran even slower.
