Alina knew that evil was never absent. The devil was hidden in the hearts of ordinary villagers, in the hearts of every integration movement fighter, and in the hearts of all oppressed people.

White Wolf forgot about the severe cold and thought about many things.

After a while, she couldn't help but glance at Alina, and suddenly felt her nose sore. She lowered her head, rubbed her red eyes, and said softly: "I understand."

Alina came over, hugged her gently, and gently touched her shoulder with her chin.

Suddenly, the white wolf said stubbornly, "I will still follow you until you finish visiting all these places."

Wait until you are safe, she added silently in her heart.

Alina said "hmm" softly in her ear.

"Then let's move on. It's getting late." White Wolf urged embarrassedly.

Alina let go of the white wolf with a smile and nodded: "Okay."

The two people continued to move forward, one in front and one behind. White Wolf looked at Alina who was walking in front with complicated eyes.

Alas, whether it is Tallulah or Alina, neither of them is worry-free.

She finally understood why Tallulah, who kept strangers at bay, had such a close relationship with Alina. Sometimes they seemed to be inseparable from each other. This Elafia girl was not as ordinary as she seemed.

The Reunion needs Alina, she thought.

There has always been a fine line between good and evil, right and wrong. Only those who can pass through the thick darkness without being tainted and stand in the light again can become the standard.

Volume 4: Chapter 13: The Ruined Cabin

White Wolf and Alina's actions did not go smoothly.

The first village they looked for disappeared inexplicably, and they didn't know if they had found the wrong place. They finally found the second village, but discovered that the residents had already moved away, and only broken walls buried in the snow remained.

The sun was already setting, and if we didn't go back now, it would be completely dark.

Alina looked at the sky, then at the nearby ruins, and hesitated, "The next village is not far away. If we turn back now, we will have to walk a long way again the next day. If we camp here, the tundra will be very cold at night."

She looked at the White Wolf and asked him what to do.

"Have you told everyone in the camp that you might not go back at night?" asked White Wolf.

"I told you that this time we're going to a very far place."

"Then let's go here." White Wolf nodded and pointed to a dilapidated wooden house in front of the left. "It seems to be still usable. Let's go and take a look."

They stopped by the cabin, and the white wolf circled the cabin, unable to help shaking his head.

This wooden house is too dilapidated. When the owner left, he removed all the wooden boards that could be taken away. As a result, several large holes appeared on the four sides of the house, which allowed air to leak out, and its ability to keep out the cold is close to zero.

In this ruin, except for this wooden house that is still standing, all other buildings are just wreckage. They have no choice but to stay in the "wooden house", which at least sounds like it can provide some psychological comfort.

If there was any factor in the ruins that was still favorable to the two men, it was only one thing: the wind was relatively light.

Since this area was chosen as a place of residence by previous residents, it must have its unique geographical advantages. Except for the north side, the other three sides are surrounded by hills. Therefore, the wind from the tundra dies down here and becomes weak.

Before it got dark, White Wolf dug out some broken wood from the ruins and gathered them in front of the cabin to use as firewood. During this process, she made some new discoveries: some of the wood seemed to be able to be used to plug the holes in the cabin.

Her eyes lit up and she felt that there was actually a lot of room for development in this ruin, so she became very alert and concentrated on picking up things around her.

Alina found a piece of wood in the cabin to use as a stool. She sat on the wood at daybreak and took out a map to study tomorrow's actions.

There was a loud rumbling sound. Alina turned her head and looked out through the hole in the wall of the wooden house. She saw a half-collapsed building not far away that was completely destroyed. Dust and snow mist mixed together and rose to the sky. The culprit was obviously Miss White Wolf who was hiding nearby.

Then she saw Miss White Wolf pick up another branch and poke it into the collapsed ruins. With a loud bang, the ruins dropped another level and spread a layer of dust around, dyeing the white snow into khaki.

Alina put down the drawing and observed curiously with her chin in her hand. She saw the other party picking out old wooden boards from the ruins and then dragging them towards her.

"What are you going to do with this? As firewood?" she asked in confusion.

"No, there are more important things. I plan to fix this." Bai Lang answered confidently. She selected wooden boards of appropriate size, used the Originium technique to re-melt the rusty nails she found, and then nailed the wooden boards to the holes in the wall one by one.

Alina watched from the side for a while, and when she saw that White Wolf was inconvenienced by being alone, she ran to help.

It took them more than half an hour to repair the four walls. The remaining usable wood was collected by White Wolf into the wooden house, saying that it would be left for the right person.

Bai Lang thought that maybe one day someone else would come and use this wooden house, and then the wood in the room would be put to good use.

The two men collected the remaining wood scraps from the repairs and used them as fuel.

White Wolf used some Originium skills to concentrate the energy on his gloves, then snapped his fingers, created a ball of flame, and lit a bonfire in the room for heating.

Alina sat down by the campfire, took out her bag, took out two pancakes, gave one to the white wolf, and took out a bottle of water and placed it next to her.

The two of them baked the biscuits on the campfire until they were golden brown, and the rich aroma filled the whole cabin, and then they ate and chatted. After an unknown amount of time, White Wolf began to feel more and more tired.

At this moment, their chat had already stopped. Bai Lang just felt sleepy, but it was hard for her to fall asleep. On the one hand, the posture of sitting on the ground was very uncomfortable. On the other hand, she found that the front half of her body facing the fire was hot, but her back was cold, which was awkward and uncomfortable.

She glanced at Alina next to her. She had been sleeping for quite some time. It seemed that she was completely accustomed to the weather in the tundra, but she, a southerner, was not so accustomed to it.

Forget it, forget it, she thought in despair, if I can’t sleep, I might as well sit there until dawn.

The strange thing is, not long after this thought came to her mind, she fell into a deep sleep.

That night, Alina woke up in a daze and found that the firewood was almost burned out. The white wolf was leaning against her and shivering with cold. She thought that the other party must be afraid of the cold, and what he said before, "I'm not afraid of the cold and I can adapt to it", was all lies.

She added more firewood, and the room became warm again. The white wolf's condition also returned to normal. Seeing this, Alina relaxed and fell into a deep sleep again.

The next morning, White Wolf woke up first. She found herself and Alina, leaning against each other, with their heads tilted.

The air was very cold, and only the part where the two of them were leaning against each other was warm. She had a premonition that if she moved, the cold would invade her, so she maintained this position and waited until Alina woke up.

After waking up, Alina was not in a hurry to leave. They had already gained enough time to rest here last night, and they could wait until the sun came out and the temperature rose before taking action.

When the morning sun reappeared over the tundra, they used snow to extinguish the remaining sporadic fires and set out again to their next destination.

Bad luck couldn't always be with them, and this time, Alina and White Wolf found a village with inhabitants.

Bai Lang kept his duty in mind and followed Alina closely, observing his surroundings vigilantly. She suddenly felt like a bodyguard of an important figure in a film or TV series.

This setting seemed quite exciting, and she suddenly became playful and decided to carry it through to the end.

She held the sword in her arms, leaving only the hilt exposed as a deterrent, and then she set her face sternly, looking as if to say 'I'm fierce, don't mess with me'.

It seems like something is missing.

After thinking it over carefully, she told Alina to call her 'White Guard' from now on.

Alina didn't understand what was going on at first, but after White Wolf explained it to her, she just smiled quietly all the way.

Volume 4: Chapter 14: The Frustrated White Guard

Alina and the White Guard's first operation of the day ended in victory.

At the beginning, the villagers were vaguely hostile, but after Alina's communication, the two sides quickly put aside their prejudices and successfully reached an agreement, agreeing to exchange part of the grain for metal tools, and the transaction time was set for the next day.

The protagonist of this process is Alina, and the 'White Guard' is only responsible for the necessary deterrence work. Although their action got off to a good start, White Wolf is not happy.

She felt that her role was being ignored. No one in the village took her seriously as a great master, even though she was clearly trying very hard to perform.

Humph, these people have no idea what's good. They are far inferior to Miss Bai Jin. If Miss Bai Jin were here, she would definitely praise her acting and say she acted like a movie star. She would have to find a way to be humble.

This depression became even more intense when we arrived at the second village.

A young man in the village set his eyes on the sword in her arms and threatened to buy this "toy" with half a bag of potatoes.

This is a strong Ursus youth with a scar on his lip. He exudes a tough temperament and looks like a man who likes to wield swords and sticks.

Bai Lang was just feeling depressed because others didn't take her seriously, but she never expected that someone would go a step further and call her weapon a toy, and even planned to exchange it for potatoes. She was so angry that she was shaking all over.

However, in most cases, Miss White Wolf is a good-tempered person. She took a deep breath, kept telling herself not to argue with others, and then explained righteously that the thing in her hand was not a toy and she did not intend to exchange it for anything.

The young man snorted disdainfully, doubled the price, and looked at White Wolf with a bad face.

Bai Lang easily understood the other party's subtext, which was probably to say, 'We are already giving you face by being willing to exchange something for something.'

She shook her head again, ignoring the young man's ugly expression, and looked around at the villagers.

Some people just watch indifferently, and no one knows what they are thinking.

Some people looked dissatisfied, as if they felt that they were being blackmailed by outsiders.

There were also some people with gloomy faces, hiding in the crowd and making eye contact with each other. Seeing this, White Wolf's pupils shrank slightly, and he felt that something bad might happen.

At this time, Alina pulled her clothes, then stood in front of them, and said with an apologetic smile: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. We are all people from the tundra, and life is not easy. I am sorry to bother you. Here is a little money, just consider it as an apology for wasting your time."

As Alina spoke, she took out a few worn banknotes from her pocket and handed them to the villagers in front of her.

An Ursus man with a missing lower lip took the money without hesitation and put it in his pocket, saying sarcastically, "It's just a small amount. I think the person behind you doesn't look like someone from the tundra. She might even be a noble lady."

Bai Lang was so angry that she was fuming. She had never seen such an unreasonable person. She was about to step forward to argue, but her right hand was grabbed. Alina seemed to be worried about this scene and held her hand tightly.

She glanced at Alina, took a deep breath, lowered her head, and said nothing more.

In this way, Miss Elafia pulled the white wolf and step by step left the village that brought unhappiness.

Neither of them spoke, and the village was soon left behind.

"I'm sorry." Bai Lang suddenly stopped, and Alina, who was holding her hand, also stopped.

"I'm a burden to you. If it weren't for me, maybe we could have negotiated the cooperation smoothly." Bai Lang lowered his head and said guiltily, "I'm really useless."

"How could that be?" Alina looked into the white wolf's eyes and said seriously, "You came here to protect me. With you here, I'm not afraid."

"Don't comfort me anymore. I know I'm useless. I saw it yesterday. Without me, you would be much faster and you wouldn't have to save food in the camp. Just now, I, I caused you trouble." White Wolf squatted on the ground sadly. She couldn't deceive herself. It was very obvious from what she experienced yesterday to now. In this matter, she was a burden to Alina.

Elafia squatted beside her on the roadside and said gently, "Really, I'm not lying to you. In fact, every time I go to an unfamiliar village, I'm always scared because I don't know what kind of people I'll meet. What if, what if I encounter danger? I only have a small knife to protect myself. But now that you're here, I'm not afraid anymore, really, not at all."

The white wolf said nothing, but used his index finger to draw irregular patterns on the snow.

"And yesterday was the best camping experience I've ever had. In the past, I couldn't find a decent house at all, but when you came, you not only fixed the wooden house, but also started a fire. I didn't feel cold all night. In the past, I would have been woken up by the cold many times."

While Alina was speaking, she was also observing White Wolf's expression. She saw that his expression had eased a little, and she knew that her words had worked.

She suddenly took Bai Lang's hand, placed it on her chest, blinked and looked at Bai Lang: "Feel my heartbeat, I really didn't lie."

Bai Lang subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Alina held it tightly, so her action failed. Her fingers felt the soft heartbeat, and her whole face turned red because of shyness. She lowered her head, dodging her eyes, and did not dare to look at Alina.

"I, I believe it." She stammered, her voice sounding like she was begging for mercy.

"No, you are shy. We are all girls, there is nothing to be shy about." Seeing this, Alina smiled and let go of the white wolf.

"Don't say anything more." Miss White Wolf took back her hands and covered her face with both hands.

"Okay, I won't tell you." Alina was very happy.

Bai Lang took a long time to calm down, and her complexion gradually returned to normal. She looked at Alina beside her and suddenly asked suspiciously: "Do you treat me as a child?"

"Have it?"

"Yes, don't quibble." White Wolf said firmly. She remembered the tone she had used when she coaxed Ifrit. Alina definitely did that just now.

"If there is, it's only a little bit. I treat you as my sister." Alina explained seriously.

"Tallulah, tell me, who do you think Tallulah is?"

"You're talking about Xiaota. I treat her as my sister, too."

Huh, Bai Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and now she felt balanced.

She felt that she could not be lower than Tallulah in any way.

In the camp, she and Tallulah were taken care of by Alina, so there was nothing wrong with her saying that. Moreover, she unexpectedly got a cute name "Little Ta" today. When she sees that guy next time, she will call her Little Ta.

Little tower, little tower, haha, this is so fun.

Volume 4: Chapter 15: People of the Tundra

Alina stood up and looked ahead with vigor: "Okay, we should go now. There is only one village left today."

"My legs are numb and I can't stand up. I need my sister to pull me up." The white wolf raised his head, blinked his eyes, and looked at Alina mischievously.

Alina smiled and held the hand that the white wolf extended to her. Before she started to pull, the white wolf stood up on its own and quickly protected Alina behind it. Its ears flared slightly as it looked vigilantly at the cedar forest not far away.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to catch up so soon." Along with the rustling sound of messy footsteps on the snow, several ragged and unruly Ursus youths walked out of the pine forest. The leader was the person who had planned to force the White Wolf to exchange his weapon.

Upon seeing this hateful face, the suppressed anger in Bai Lang's heart rose again. She asked angrily, "You followed me here just for a sword. Are you planning to rob me?"

"Need I say that? Hehe." The young man threatened with a fierce look in his eyes, "If you just put the things down and leave, this matter might end here. If you don't want to, we will make you willing."

His eyes swept over the white wolf wantonly, and his expression changed again. He showed an ambiguous smile on his face: "Don't resist, just be obedient, we will show mercy, don't you agree?"
