She didn't care about Garson's plan to assassinate her. On the one hand, she had been aware of this possibility when she was pretending to be friendly with Garson. White Wolf's reminder confirmed her guess. On the other hand, she didn't think she had anything to be afraid of.
The greatest value of this incident to her was that it sounded a wake-up call. She began to realize that if someone planned to assassinate White Wolf or Alina, it would be troublesome. She planned to keep this matter in mind at all times, especially to pay special attention to the situation of Alina, whose strength was close to zero.
When White Wolf talked about W's intelligence, he also meant to discuss the next plan. Since they wanted to reach a private agreement with the mercenary team, it was necessary for Talulah, as the leader of the Reunion Movement, to be clear about these things.
Miss Dragon Girl of course unconditionally supports White Wolf. What she said to White Wolf was: Your decision is my decision.
Volume 4: Chapter 27 The Watcher
In the afternoon, Tallulah and Garson went to the mercenary training ground, and White Wolf was scouting in the valley alone.
This valley was completely occupied by pine forests. The mercenaries were scattered loosely in the forests. An independent camp could be seen at regular intervals. Because the sizes of the mercenary groups were different, the sizes of these independent camps were also different.
After taking a look around, White Wolf roughly understood the location of Garson's command center, which was on the east side of the valley, not far away from a specially opened training ground.
Along the way, she found that there were always mercenaries behind her, staring at her intentionally or unintentionally. She deliberately went to some remote places, and the mercenaries immediately followed her, keeping a distance of more than 100 meters.
It seemed that these people were specially sent by Garson for surveillance. Although she had expected this situation, she still felt uncomfortable. In order to ensure that she could move around, she pretended to be lost and asked the passing mercenaries for directions every once in a while.
Overall, her behavior was fairly decent, and her communications with the mercenaries were kept to the simplest level of questions and answers. The observers did not notice anything unusual.
During this process, Bai Lang discovered one thing: any small movement of hers would attract the attention of the observers.
Once, she accidentally tripped over a stone buried in the snow and almost fell. After she walked away, she observed several black-clad monitors squatting beside the stone and examining it carefully.
Because he was under surveillance, Bai Lang didn't dare to ask for any information casually. He had been getting bored of wandering around alone for a long time, and now that he found something so interesting, he was determined to miss it.
She deliberately walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped, patted the brown bark of the cedar tree beside her, and made up a few lines of poetry in an admiring tone, such as "snow presses the pine branches low" or something like that.
After a while, she stopped beside a big rock again, looked around furtively, then picked up a branch and drew a small animal on the smooth, snow-covered stone surface.
After walking a few steps forward, she suddenly kicked a tree trunk, causing snow on the top of the tree to fall down. She covered her head and jumped away in shock, as if she was walking in a minefield.
The Sarkaz were really worried. They were mercenaries and fighting and killing were what they were best at. They never thought that today their leader would entrust them with the task of supervising Tallulah's attendants. According to the leader's instructions, this Lupert might have ulterior motives in coming to the camp. Any abnormal behavior must not be overlooked and must be dealt with with the highest standards.
If they were supervising a normal person, it would be fine and they could do it, but this Miss Rupert looked different from ordinary people. She seemed like a child who had never seen the world and was having a lot of fun by herself.
According to the leader's instructions, the more complete the target's disguise, the greater the chance of a problem. They must be extremely alert, keeping their distance and paying close attention to the target's every move. They also need to dig out useful information from the other party's actions and beware of this Rupert taking the opportunity to send signals or hide notes.
Adhering to the idea that all actions of the target may have deep meaning, the mercenaries carefully examined the bark touched by the white wolf and peeled it off as important research material; then, they looked at each other beside the large stone 'mural', trying to understand the meaning of the stick figure of the little animal whose race could not be identified. Finally, after discussing it fruitlessly, they directly destroyed the work to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
After noticing the actions of the watchers, White Wolf became even more delighted. The cedar forest in front of her suddenly became colorful, and interesting things could be discovered in any small corner.
Time passed minute by minute, and the mercenaries hanging behind the White Wolf finally felt something was wrong, and they gathered together to discuss it.
"I think the leader may be overthinking it. Her behavior doesn't have any special meaning."
"Could it be that she already knew we were secretly following her and did that on purpose?"
"impossible."
"I also think it's impossible. We are professional mercenaries, and we can be considered half assassins. We also kept a safe distance this time. She definitely couldn't tell."
"Yes, if it was someone else, it would be fine, but she definitely can't do that. This Rupert doesn't look like the kind of person who knows how to fight and kill. Did you notice the sword she carries? It's just an ornament. You can almost say that she looks like a noble lady."
"So, everyone has reached a consensus?"
"Yeah." The Sarkaz with half of his horn broken off made the final conclusion: "It's a bit unbelievable, but she is just playing."
"Wouldn't it be boring for us to follow?"
"I agree. How about we all go away? Well, we have collected a lot of 'evidence', let's divide it up so that we can report back when the time comes."
"Yes, take these barks and stones to the boss later."
Each mercenary was given a few pieces of tree bark to carry with them, said goodbye to each other solemnly, and then dispersed and left.
Not long after they left, a cloaked figure walked out of the pine forest. She picked up a piece of bark on the ground, looked at it suspiciously, then threw it to the ground and quickly followed the white wolf.
Bai Lang heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and thought it was the watcher coming over. She silently changed her posture, holding the scabbard tightly with her left hand, and keeping her right hand tense at all times.
The newcomer did not hide her intention at all. She called softly behind the white wolf, and when she saw the white wolf turn his head, she took off the hood of her cloak.
This person is Miss Inès whom I met this morning.
The White Wolf subconsciously looked behind Inès. At this time, the sky had begun to darken. She did not see any trace of the monitors, so they must have left.
As for the purpose of Ines's visit, since she had already met W, she could easily guess it, but she still asked knowingly: "Miss Ines, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Yes, I want to ask for some information, but I am afraid that you will misunderstand, Miss White Wolf..."
White Wolf smiled and said, "Go ahead, I'm easy to talk to."
"Well, Miss White Wolf also knows that we are the Sarkaz people. Among us Sarkaz people, there is a legend."
"Bozhukasti." White Wolf said softly.
"Legend has it that there is a man who can... ah? You, you know this."
Inès looked at the white wolf in surprise.
"I have also heard a little bit about the legend of Kazdel. This is not important. What is important is that I know your purpose and am willing to provide assistance. However, this help has a prerequisite."
White Wolf's words caught Ines off guard. All the excuses she had prepared were useless at this moment, and the two of them actually went straight to the bargaining stage.
"I also want to entrust you with a task, which is exactly the same as the one I entrusted to Miss W." White Wolf said with a smile.
Volume 4: Chapter 28: W's Routine
The moment she heard the name W, Inès' pupils contracted reflexively. Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately felt that something bad was going to happen.
She asked nervously, "W her, she didn't do anything to you, did she?"
"What did you say?" White Wolf expressed confusion.
"Ah, I, I mean, W she treats people without respect, you are not scared, are you?"
"That's not the case. She just gave me a special gift when we met, a bomb. She was actually kind-hearted, but I returned it in the end."
When Inès heard that W sent the bomb, her face turned pale, but White Wolf's next words made her shocked and confused again.
"So, you and W get along pretty well?"
"It's okay. She mentioned you and Hedley to me, so I knew your plan from the beginning."
Inès immediately became alert: "She mentioned us specifically? Is she saying something bad about me?"
"No." White Wolf scratched his head, wondering if there was any conflict between him and W. "We talked about meeting with the Patriot, and she wanted you to go with Hedley."
"Together? She, she..." Ines was stunned for a moment, then sighed dejectedly, looking dejected as if she had lost something.
She quickly pulled herself together and asked solemnly, "What conditions did W agree to? Please explain."
"You're welcome." White Wolf stretched out his hand to play with the green pine needles hanging from the branches, and said lightly, "Cooperation. The condition that W agreed to is cooperation. She is willing to reach a cooperative relationship with the Integration Movement."
Inès was silent. She knew that W was a lawless person who did things according to his own whims. He also hated Garson who obeyed Tracys. It was most likely that this guy would cooperate with the Integration Movement.
But at the same time, she knew something else.
W's words are true and false, and sometimes he seems to have no stance. How true is the agreement between him and the Reunion Movement? Is it possible that he just released a bomb to take advantage of White Wolf? What is the nature of this agreement? What are the details? Does it mean that he wants to be an enemy of Garson?
White Wolf looked at Inès who was lost in thought and realized that things should not be rushed. The situations of Hedley and the others should be different from those of W, and the price they would pay for making the same decision would also be different.
But she knew too little about Inès and Hedley, and didn't know how to persuade them at this time. She thought about W, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, so she said: "You don't have to make a decision now, you can go back and discuss it with Hedley and W, and we can contact each other when you have an idea."
Ines was just worrying about what to do, but when she saw the White Wolf giving her a way out, she thanked him repeatedly and said goodbye.
Bai Lang looked at Inès who left with a heavy heart, feeling somewhat proud. Although she didn't know how to convince her, Miss W was an old acquaintance of theirs, so there must be a way.
Uh, did I trust W too much?
Speaking of which, how did Miss W negotiate the cooperation? It seems very simple.
She carefully recalled the details and her expression became strange.
At that time, she suddenly met W and had no idea about the situation, nor did she think of discussing cooperation. In the subsequent conversation, Miss W showed hostility towards Garson several times and emphasized the independence of her team, which aroused White Wolf's desire to cooperate. She thought that cooperation was "on her own initiative", but in fact, this "initiative" was completely guided by W.
Trapped! White Wolf woke up from his dream.
This W is so cunning.
She couldn't help but gasp and immediately felt like her teeth were going to be frozen off, so she had to shut up and seriously think about Miss W's conspiracy.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this world was too difficult to understand. No matter how you look at it, everything W did was beneficial to the Integration Movement. He agreed to be a spy and directly provided important intelligence. If there really was a conspiracy, it would be better if there were more conspiracies.
Bai Lang already had a certain liking for Miss W, and he was nervous only because he discovered that he was being 'led'. Now that he couldn't think of any bad intentions on the other party's part, he simply held on to the selfish presumption of innocence and let the matter go.
It was already completely dark, so she rushed to the wooden house she had visited in the morning and waited for a while. When Talula came over, she walked back with her.
The valley was pitch black at night, and the cold and lonely pine forest was tangled into a dark ball, like a gloomy ghost. Apart from the strange howling of the strong wind in the sky, no other sound could be heard.
Two people walked forward silently in the darkness.
Tallulah had walked this road many times and was very familiar with it, but this time she felt that the road was too dark and Miss White Wolf might be tripped by something.
She condensed a red flame in the palm of her right hand, with her palm facing upward, intending to use it for lighting.
With a 'pop' sound, her right hand was hit.
White Wolf slapped the flames on her palms and taught her a lesson: "Did you not read my Ore Disease Manual carefully? If it is not necessary, do not use Originium Techniques. The continuous aggravation of Ore Disease is because the infected people have developed bad habits for convenience."
Miss Dragon Girl wanted to explain that she used the Originium technique because she was afraid that the white wolf could not see the road clearly. When the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered that the night vision of the Lupo people was one of the best among the Terran tribes. If she said it, she would seem stupid. She really didn't know why she even forgot this common sense.
She closed her mouth and listened to White Wolf's lecture with a bit of grievance.
Bai Lang was worried that the dragon girl didn't know how to protect herself, so she talked about the various daily prevention and treatment methods of Originium disease. Finally, she took this opportunity to offer to help her check the Originium crystals.
"Let's go back and talk about it. It's not very convenient here."
"Is it inconvenient? I remember your Originium crystal is on your arm, right?"
"There is one more place." Miss Dragon Girl was a little embarrassed. She moved closer to the White Wolf and whispered something in his ear.
The darkness of night obscured the white wolf's expression. The dragon girl heard him stutter, "Well, forget it then."
She couldn't help but laugh in her heart, and all the grievances she had just felt at being misunderstood by Miss White Wolf disappeared.
After a while, White Wolf suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion: "I remember you only have one tent over there."
"Yes."
"Then where do I live?"
Tallulah was in a very awkward mood. She knew that the other party would discover this problem sooner or later, but she didn't expect that they would discover it so late, when they were almost there.
In fact, she was not used to being crowded together with others, and the fact that she lived alone in a remote corner was proof of that. But if this 'other person' was Miss White Wolf, she would still be very happy, no, it should be said that she was looking forward to it.
"That bed is big enough if we squeeze in," she explained.
White Wolf pondered in her mind that the nights in the valley would only get colder and colder, and it was not convenient to make a fire here. She was afraid of the cold, so it seemed that she could only live in a tent, which should be fine for one night.
Volume 4: Chapter 29: Sick Tallulah
Back in the tent, the two lit a candle on the table and sat side by side on the bed chatting. As the night deepened, the temperature dropped sharply. White Wolf began to feel unbearable, so he pulled the quilt and planned to put it on his back.
Seeing this, Tallulah suggested, "It's getting late, and the valley will only get colder. Why don't we go to bed first?"
White Wolf nodded in agreement. She turned to look at Tallulah and saw that she was looking at her. She felt a little embarrassed and quickly turned her face away to look at the entrance of the tent.
"Isn't that place closed tightly? Wind is leaking in." She pointed at the entrance of the tent and reminded.
Tallulah stood up and walked over to check.
"No problem, it's closed tightly, and there's not much wind in places like this at night."
"Oh." White Wolf responded, still feeling awkward. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
Tallulah came back and blew out the candle on the table, and the tent suddenly became pitch dark.
The dragon girl paused for a moment, then reached the bed with her blurred vision.
She could barely make out the white wolf's body, so she reached out to touch it, saying, "You sleep inside."
"Yeah." White Wolf responded.
Her night vision was very good, and when she saw Tallulah's hand reaching out to her, she lost her composure.
Where are you touching?
White Wolf guessed that the other party might not be able to see clearly. After all, not everyone had the eyes of the Luper tribe. So she turned her body lightly to allow Tallulah to touch her shoulder.
She moved her body, sat on the inside, and spread the quilt flat: "It's agreed, you take half and I take half."
