Two minutes later, she walked to the door of the cabin and looked inside through the half-open door.
The room was empty, no one was there.
She pushed the door open and walked in. Her intuition told her that someone must have been here not long ago. She could "smell" the traces left by people. It sounded a bit mysterious. In fact, she couldn't explain the source of this intuition clearly. She could only classify it as Rupert's innate ability.
The back door of the room was open, and she speculated that the owner of the house must have sat in the room for a while and then went out through the back door.
This result surprised her a little. She had rarely been here before and didn't know that Tallulah's cabin had a back door. This place was already the northernmost side of the camp, and there was a small hill right behind it. Did the other party open a back door for her to enjoy the scenery?
Judging from the current situation, Tallulah was most likely outside the back door, so she tiptoed across the room, then lay sideways, trying not to touch the door frame, and squeezed out through the gap in the back door.
As expected, Tallulah was here.
There was a wooden railing outside the back door. Miss Dragon Girl was resting her arms on the railing, frowning and staring at the snow-capped mountains in a trance. No one knew what she was thinking about and she didn't notice the white wolf coming at all.
White Wolf noticed that there was a black sword leaning against Tallulah's side. It was the sword she had exchanged with the other party before. Although Tallulah was in a daze, the position of the black sword was perfect for guarding against attacks at any time. It was probably a habit.
She felt a little depressed. People like Tallulah were really not fun to be around. If someone wanted to play a prank on her, it would probably not end well.
After she roughly estimated the strength comparison between the two sides, she no longer concealed her footsteps, walked straight over, and patted Tallulah on the shoulder.
The dragon girl still didn't look back. She stared into the distance and said leisurely, "Alina, when do you think the white wolf will come back? It feels like I haven't seen her for a long time."
The white wolf opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
When Tallulah saw that no one responded, she turned her head and looked around, and was stunned.
"Hi, um, it's nice. Long time no see. I'm not Alina." White Wolf was a little embarrassed.
"Am I dazzled?" Miss Dragon Girl asked doubtfully. She stretched out her arm and said to the white wolf, "Bite me and see if I am dreaming."
"Okay." White Wolf pulled Tallulah's arm, "Then I won't be polite."
She opened her mouth and took a bite.
With a ding sound, her ears buzzed, and her upper and lower teeth collided with each other, biting a mouthful of cold air.
It turned out that Miss Dragon Girl pulled her arm back in time.
Bai Lang covered his mouth and looked at her resentfully: "You don't keep your word!"
"Sorry, sorry, it's a reflex. Bite me again, I'm ready this time." Tallulah rolled up her sleeves and handed them to the white wolf.
"Tsk, that's boring. Do you think I'm a puppy? If you hadn't asked me sincerely just now, I wouldn't even bother to move. It's so cold, what if my teeth freeze off?"
"Yeah." Tallulah smiled and retracted her arm. "Why did you come back so early? It's very cold on the tundra these days. It's hard for outsiders to adapt."
"You're still worried about the Integration Movement. If I'm not here, what will you do if you get into trouble and start crying?"
"I'm not that bad anymore." Tallulah felt embarrassed. She touched the tip of her nose and said confidently, "I am no longer the same as I was before."
"I can't tell." White Wolf said bluntly.
A cold wind blew in from the mountains, and she shivered. She couldn't help but say, "It's a bit cold here."
"So why did you come back so early? Didn't Alina tell you to wait until winter is over?" Tallulah lectured.
"It's a bit cold, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of it. I've adapted to it a long time ago, okay? I'm not afraid at all." After explaining, White Wolf looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and muttered to himself, "I don't know who was asking when 'White Wolf' would come back."
Tallulah stopped talking.
It is indeed embarrassing to talk about others behind their back and be heard by the person concerned.
After a while, she saw the white wolf still standing by, his lips white from the cold, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you go inside? It's warmer there."
"I said it's not cold, and I thought you might have something to talk about, so I wanted to wait a while."
"It's nothing."
"Yes, definitely. When I came here, I saw you frowning and in a daze. Are you in any trouble?"
"You can't hide anything from me." Miss Dragon Girl smiled. "It's about the Sarkaz mercenaries. I'll tell you later. You didn't leave just now because you were thinking about me."
White Wolf suddenly thought of something Alina had said. She felt that the situation at that time was suitable for this situation, so she tried to imitate the expression of Miss Elafia and said with a smile: "Of course, I have always regarded you as my sister, and I will definitely take care of you."
She thought that she would see some interesting expression on Tallulah's face by saying this, but unfortunately, it didn't happen. Miss Dragon seemed to selectively ignore what she had just said.
"Your lips are white, you must be very cold." Tallulah asked with concern.
"It's not cold." Bai Lang continued to be stubborn. She had just said that she was not afraid of the cold. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to change her words now?
"Yeah." Miss Dragon Girl nodded, and suddenly walked behind the White Wolf, put her arms around her waist, leaned forward slightly, and hugged the White Wolf from behind.
"What are you doing?" White Wolf immediately panicked.
"To keep you warm."
"I told you, it's not cold!"
Tallulah rubbed her temples in distress, and suddenly came up with a good idea. She said in a negotiating tone, "Well, I'm the one who's colder. Didn't you say that the elder sister should take care of the younger sister?"
Volume 4: Chapter 18 Victoria's Dream
White Wolf was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to say. She felt that Tallulah's reason was seriously unfair, but it sounded impeccable.
As for the sisterhood and so on, Miss Dragon Girl probably doesn't care at all. The other party just picked up a ready-made excuse and used it. So, in this regard, she didn't get the upper hand.
This wave of losses was huge, she thought, but fortunately it was not a complete loss. At least she is no longer cold now. The role of sticking together for warmth must be recognized.
"Whatever you want." She rolled her eyes and said depressedly. She had come to terms with it now. After all, they were all girls, and hugging wouldn't make them lose anything. It would be weird to resist.
The same thing may feel completely different to different people.
Tallulah found that she could smell, touch, and feel the person in her arms at the same time, and her heart began to beat violently without her noticing.
She gradually forgot where she was, and time seemed to stand still. The strange impulse she had experienced before reappeared. Her hands tightened unconsciously, and her nose lingered on the smooth neck. She took a greedy deep breath, and she kissed the neck of the person in her arms like a drunkard intoxicated by his lover.
"Tallulah!" cried the White Wolf in dissatisfaction, "Are you using your Victorian etiquette again? I'm not used to it!"
Tallulah woke up suddenly, and her sense of space that had been stripped away suddenly returned. She clearly saw the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the railings beside her, and Miss White Wolf's ears shaking in dissatisfaction in front of her. It seemed as if she had just had a dream.
She felt a little scared.
To this day, she has become more and more aware of her own weaknesses - she easily loses control when she is emotionally excited. God knows what happened to her just now. If it weren't for Miss White Wolf's reminder, she might have done something she shouldn't have done.
She coughed to cover up her guilty conscience and said hastily, "Yes, this is a kind of etiquette of Victorian aristocrats. You know, I know a lot about Victoria."
As she was talking, she suddenly thought of a puzzle: Emotions are always caused by reasons, why was she so impulsive just now? This strange emotion came and went quickly, and now she felt very confused.
In response to the Victorian etiquette of this Drake head, White Wolf finally couldn't help asking: "Aren't you from Ursus? Why do you know so much about Victorian things?"
"It has something to do with my father. They say he is a Victorian aristocrat, so I have been paying attention to Victoria since I was a child."
"Oh, you never said that, your father..."
"He was gone before I can remember. I have no memory of him."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was because of this."
"It's nothing. You don't have to worry about my emotions. For me, this situation is too sad to even talk about."
"Have you been to Victoria?" White Wolf asked suddenly. She didn't believe what Tallulah said. If she really had no feelings for her, why did she always have a special feeling for Victoria?
"Yes. During that time, I fled Ursus, and the first place I went to was Victoria." Tallulah's voice lowered.
There is an emotion called sadness spreading in the air.
Miss Dragon Girl said softly: "Don't look at me like this now. In fact, I was timid and cowardly when I was a child. I always dreamed that if the man called father was always there, would someone protect me? Would my life be different? It was for this reason that I became very interested in his country Victoria and read a lot about Victoria in the book."
"When I got older, I gradually felt the problems of Ursus, and Victoria unknowingly became my ideal country. I envied the culture, system, and everything there. Now I think that the magnificent world described in the book is like a dream. When I went to Victoria in person, the dream was shattered. I was so painful at the time that I felt for a long time that cruelty was the truth of the world."
"So what do you think now?" White Wolf asked cautiously.
Tallulah did not answer directly, but asked in return: "Do you think that idea is right?"
The White Wolf silently untied the hands that Miss Dragon Girl had wrapped around her waist, turned himself around, and their faces were suddenly pressed together.
She gave Miss Dragon Girl a quick kiss on the cheek, then hugged her tightly: "I don't know. I only know that if you need me, I will help you. If you are in danger, I will protect you. In fact, I am also very powerful."
Tallulah remained silent.
Not long after, White Wolf began to feel a little stuffy, so she changed her position slightly to make herself more comfortable.
Although Tallulah in front of him hadn't spoken a word and no one knew what she was thinking, White Wolf's mood had become lively again. She whispered in Miss Dragon's ear: "Little Tallulah, don't be unhappy. Hehe, if you feel sad and want to cry, I'll lend you my shoulder."
Tallulah felt that Miss White Wolf's misunderstanding was outrageous. She seemed to think that she was the kind of person who cried easily. She scratched her head and said seriously, "Actually, I thought about it for a long time and felt that the kiss you just gave was wrong."
"Something's wrong." When Bai Lang heard the other party talking about this, her face began to burn. She was just too emotional and couldn't help it. Tallulah really brought up things that were not relevant.
"According to Victorian etiquette, you should kiss a lady on the right cheek, but you just kissed her on the chin."
"What do you mean?"
"That one actually doesn't count, at least not according to etiquette."
“Should I do it again?”
"If you want."
"Then do you want to return the gift?"
"That's right in theory."
Miss White Wolf took a deep breath, put her mouth close to Tallulah's ear, and said viciously: "I swear, I will never go to a place like Victoria again."
"There's no need for that." Miss Dragon analyzed seriously, "This is Victoria's traditional social etiquette. Unless you attend a party or something, you will rarely encounter it."
"Is that so? Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back to the room and sit for a while. Tell me about the mercenaries."
"it is good."
The two walked towards the room one after the other. White Wolf suddenly asked in confusion: "Why are you so thin and soft, but so strong?"
"Maybe, a racial trait? Doesn't your Rupert have a very good nose?"
"Well, well, this world is really unfair."
Volume 4: Chapter 19: Sarkaz Mercenaries
After returning to the room, Tallulah took out two wooden stools and placed them on both sides of the table, ready to have a good chat about recent events. However, Miss White Wolf did not do as she wished. She sat directly at the head of the bed and wrapped her blanket around her body, like she was wearing a cloak.
"And you said you weren't cold." Tallulah couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, don't worry about such details."
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"No." White Wolf shook his head immediately, "Alina will be back soon. If she sees us, she might think something wrong."
"What's wrong with that?" Tallulah asked back in confusion.
"Anyway, there is this risk anyway." Bai Lang blushed and immediately changed the subject, "Okay, let's get down to business. Do you think I look like a big boss waiting for my subordinates to report their work?"
"Like, you are." Miss Longnv nodded with a smile, "Your subordinates still want to ask if they can sit next to you and report their work."
"I've already said it. No, if you sit over here I'm definitely not in the mood to listen to your business, so that's it, Xiaota, you have to listen."
I don't know why, but after hearing what White Wolf said, Tallulah had a very strange feeling. This feeling came from what the other party said, "I won't be in the mood to listen to serious matters if I sit down."
Could she attract Miss White Wolf? In what way? She had a vague feeling that the answer to the question might make her heart beat faster. This self-awareness gave her a subtle sense of pride and made her immersed in a very novel and pleasant experience. Her body seemed to become light.
She finally calmed down from her agitated emotions, organized her thoughts, cleared her throat, and began to talk about her own experiences and the current situation of the integration movement.
Kazdel's trip two months ago was undoubtedly a success. When she came back, she successfully brought the first group of Sarkaz mercenaries. In the following period, a steady stream of mercenaries arrived in the North through various means.
She could not determine the arrival method and time of these mercenaries. The relevant overall command power was in the hands of the mercenary leader Garson. In fact, the content of the contract she signed was that Garson would lead the mercenary organization and fully assist in the integration movement.
In other words, the Integration Movement has no direct command over the mercenary organization and can only invite Garson to help by entrusting the task. The method that White Wolf had considered before, which was to win over mercenaries through profit means, has been proven to be completely unworkable. There are many reasons for this. Tallulah thinks that the fundamental problem lies in trust.
Although these mercenaries were extremely dissatisfied with Tresis's coercive measures, and many of them escaped from Kazdel like the Mudstone Squad, those who stayed behind united unprecedentedly after arriving in Ursus. This was a land they had never set foot on, and it was also the most harsh place on the entire Terra continent for the infected. Compared to the Integration Movement, which they had never been exposed to, they certainly trusted their own people more.
Tresiste was very experienced, and he had some considerations in choosing Garson as the leader. After arriving at the tundra, Garson rejected the proposal to camp together with the Reunion Movement, and chose a secluded valley to set up camp again.
When Garson learned that there was a Mudstone Squad within the Reunion Movement that was also a member of the Sarkaz mercenaries, his closed policy became even stricter. On weekdays, the only members of the Reunion Movement who could come into contact with the mercenary teams, besides Tallulah herself, were the people who delivered food.
This is why the members of the Reunion Movement know very little about the Sarkaz mercenaries. Although the two teams are stationed not far from each other and have been together for more than a month, in the eyes of members of both sides, the other side is a mysterious and unknown existence.
Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for the Integration Movement to gain the trust of the Sarkaz mercenaries, and they would only unite more closely around Garson.
The current situation described by Tallulah was completely beyond White Wolf's expectations. She was proud of her conspiracy for a long time, thinking that it would be easy to win over the Sarkaz mercenaries who were dissatisfied with Tracys.
It now seems that Tracy is also guarding against this move, and his solution is very clever. The Integration Movement is therefore in a passive position. After all, the core of the problem lies with Garson. As Tracy's subordinate, he is too competent.
