Bai Lang was not idle during the two days in Azazel. She unexpectedly discovered that Miss Rosalinha was also here. This girl who studied swordsmanship diligently would certainly not let her go. She always came to ask for advice on swordsmanship, and she was happy to be her teacher.

What’s interesting is that Rosalina doesn’t just learn from her. Miss Lin Guang and Old Man Herag are also her learning objects, not to mention other swordsmanship instructors in Rhodes Island.

I really don’t know what the other party will become in the future. If he learns from a hundred schools and becomes famous in the future, then she, Bai Lang, will be considered half a master, but she will have to benefit from it.

Two days later, White Wolf set off from the floating port as planned and boarded a flying vehicle bound for Londinium, the capital of Victoria.

She had checked the information in advance and knew that the landing point of this aircraft was in the suburbs dozens of kilometers away from Londinium. It would still be a long way to go if it wanted to reach the capital.

There are reasons for setting up this kind of stop. Terra has always been shrouded in the shadow of war, and no country except Yan State dares to build a floating port directly inside the capital.

This time, when she boarded the aircraft, her identity information was verified three times. Only after the relevant personnel confirmed that she was a senior aristocratic executive of a company who was going to Victoria to recruit employees did they let her board the plane.

Normally, the nobles of Ursus would not have been subjected to such treatment, but the problem was that Victoria was going through a special situation, the political situation was extremely chaotic, and the security policy of its capital, Londinium, was therefore many times stricter than usual.

Volume 4: Chapter 70 Victoria

From Che to Victoria, the aircraft first needs to fly over the southern territory of Ursus, then cross the ocean, and then pass through the mountains at the border of Syracuse and Leitania, and finally reach its destination.

Hundreds of years ago, it would have taken the Terrans a full year to complete this journey, but now, White Wolf just read a book for a while in the aircraft and then took a nap. When he woke up, he learned from the broadcast that the aircraft had arrived over Syracuse.

This means that we are still halfway to Victoria and are expected to arrive at our destination around ten o'clock in the evening.

She looked down from the aircraft and saw a huge crescent-shaped city on the ground in the distance. The crescent moon was connected to the sapphire blue sea. Although it was high in the sky, it could be seen that it was a tree-lined, neat and beautiful city.

Texas once said that the main coastal city of Syracuse was called Moon Harbor, and its natural scenery was world-famous. Texas also told her that this beautiful city was also the most chaotic place in Syracuse. When night fell, more than half of the residents would eat some kind of mulberry plant, and revenge and madness would quietly brew in the ecstasy smoke.

Yuegang was soon left far behind, and the aircraft entered the sky above the dense jungle. A few thin clouds blocked the White Wolf's sight.

The white wolf withdrew his gaze, lay back on the chair, and quietly watched the mist condense into water droplets on the glass window and then flow down in streams.

A few minutes later, the aircraft passed through the clouds and the view in front of her eyes suddenly opened up. She saw dark mountains in the far north passing through the clouds. Those were the snow-capped mountains of Kjerag that never melted all year round.

There are many strange countries in the Terra continent, and Kjerag is one of them. She has read many books, and any books that mention Kjerag will talk about the gods on the snow-capped mountains.

Are there really gods on Terra? How should the word "god" be defined? Assuming that the gods on Terra exist, can't they be summarized by simple totemic symbols? How do we explain the relationship between humans and gods?

She sat in her seat, unable to stop thinking about random things. She didn't know how much time had passed. The sky was getting darker and darker. The lights in the aircraft were turned on early, and a flight attendant was walking slowly in the aisle pushing a food cart.

Bailang glanced at the price tag on the cart and saw that a bag of biscuits the size of a palm cost twenty Longmen coins.

What a black marketeer, she secretly complained in her heart, then opened her small suitcase, took out the chocolate bread that Rosella gave her, and started eating it happily.

Miss Rosemary is truly a Victorian. She knows the situation in her hometown very well.

At ten forty in the evening, the aircraft arrived at its destination, which was nearly an hour later than expected. The passengers were quite complaining and left the aircraft in groups of three or four to prepare for exit inspection.

In a place like Victoria, only the nobles of the country are called nobles. White Wolf had long been prepared to be a low-key ordinary person. He lined up honestly in the middle of the line and went through all the identity verification procedures.

She arrived outside the floating port and saw cement roads that stretched in all directions without any extra buildings. If it weren't for the rows of taxis parked nearby waiting to pick up passengers, White Wolf would even suspect that she was on a wilderness road.

She walked to the nearest taxi, waved to the driver, opened the back door and got in.

"To Londinium."

The driver did not start the engine, but turned around and said, "Is this your first time here? Londinium announced a ban a year ago. After 8 pm, the entrance to the city will be directly closed and will not be opened until 6 am the next day."

White Wolf was very surprised: "Is that so? I really didn't expect this. Is this considered a curfew?"

"Not really. After all, after 8pm, people in the city can still live their lives as usual. They are simply not allowed to enter or leave the city. If you need to go to the hotel now, I can take you there."

"Okay, let's go to the hotel first." White Wolf nodded and asked, "Why are there no buildings near the floating port? Wouldn't it be good to have a few hotels here?"

"You don't know, six years ago, there were many hotels nearby. Later, the government planned to expand the floating port, so they demolished all the civilian facilities. But before the project started, something bad happened in Londinium, so the expansion was at a standstill. However, the official rules have been retained until now."

"The big event you're talking about is a matter of the royal family?"

"Well, this is not news. Everyone knows it. I just don't know which version you heard. We live in Londinium and have seen countless versions of it. Some say that a certain lord is correcting the chaos, while others say that someone is trying to usurp the throne. Today, a prince who should be the legitimate successor appears, and tomorrow, an even more legitimate princess appears. This has been going on for years, and I don't know when it will end."

"I heard." White Wolf said cautiously, "The people of Victoria all hope that the real crown prince will appear. As long as the other party gives the order, then..."

"I don't know where you heard this from, but don't mention it in Londinium, or people will laugh at you," said the driver, trying not to laugh.

"How do you explain this?"

"Let me tell you this. What time is it now?"

"Eleven o'clock at night."

"That's right. I'm an ordinary citizen of Londinium. My family is not bad, but I still have to work at this time, not to mention those who are not as good as me. Everyone is busy making a living. Who really cares whether the crown prince is real or not? It's just a topic of conversation and a way to amuse themselves when they have nothing to do."

Well, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with what the driver said, White Wolf thought awkwardly. This was nothing like what she had read in the books.

The driver continued, "It's not that I don't care at all. If the new crown prince is willing to give us taxi drivers a subsidy or something, that would be great. Well, I don't know how it is in other places. Although Londinium has the best schools, it would drain the family savings of ordinary people just to send a child to middle school. I heard that someone has done statistics and found that the education rate in our so-called 'academic capital' is not as good as that of remote small cities in Colombia."

As we were talking, the driver drove the car to a small town, slowed down, and asked with a smile: "Dear guest, do you want to find a hotel by yourself, or should I recommend one for you?"

How could Bai Lang not understand the other party's little thoughts? She was happy to help this hard-working person make a little money, so she replied: "You are familiar with this place, you can choose it."

"Okay." The driver responded and drove White Wolf to the door of a slightly remote hotel.

After paying the fare, Bai Lang got off the car, checked into an ordinary single room in a hotel, and stayed there temporarily.

Volume 4: Chapter 71 Londinium

The hotel where White Wolf stayed was very close to Londinium. The next morning, after careful consideration, she decided to go to Londinium by herself first, and then consider going to the Rhodes Island base to ask for external assistance.

Victorians love pastries, a characteristic reflected in the menus of the town's breakfast shops, two-thirds of which are related to pastries.

Bai Lang also followed the local customs and ordered two cream tarts, a glass of milk, and a piece of freshly baked meat floss bread for breakfast.

When checking out, she discovered a small thing: the prices in the small town near Londinium were the same as those in downtown Che. Thinking about it, she left the breakfast shop and took a taxi to Londinium.

White Wolf's identity as 'Olicia' couldn't be more real. Apart from that, there was no problem with the company background of Ice Stone Mining and the purpose of recruiting researchers in Victoria. Therefore, despite the extremely strict police investigation, White Wolf still entered the city without any obstacles.

Londinium is an elegant and solemn city, and its buildings are often decorated with intricate and delicate patterns, with great attention to detail. This attention to detail is also reflected in official buildings, but it is different. Official buildings emphasize the rigor and neatness of the design, thus creating a solemn atmosphere.

Since entering the city, Bai Lang has been observing the city from the car window. It was not until the driver asked her what requirements she had for the location of the hotel that she suddenly remembered that she was not here as a tourist.

Her habit was to find a place to stay first when she arrived in a new city. Since she wanted to recruit researchers this time, it would be better to be closer to an educational institution. So, she asked the taxi driver to find a hotel closest to the university campus, preferably a hotel owned by the Dagu Group.

The industries of Dagu Group are concentrated in two places, one is Longmen and the other is Victoria. The industries of Longmen were developed later by the Shi Huaiya family, and Victoria is their real base camp. However, in recent years, due to the political situation and the good development prospects of Longmen, Dagu Group has been considering Longmen as its core.

All of Londinium's drivers were smart people. They guessed from the beginning that the guest was the wealthy type and that the demands of such people were easier to satisfy. The hotel of the Dagu Group was also too conspicuous and easy to find.

He drove Bailang to the center of the city's school district and stopped in front of a building more than 30 stories high. He turned around and said, "Guest, this is the industrial building of the Dagu Group. The tenth floor and above belong to the Dagu Hotel, and the lower floors are commercial areas. Two kilometers south of here is the National University, and a little further east is the Royal Guards College. What do you think?"

"Then let's go here." Bai Lang placed a 50-dollar Longmen coin on the seat as a tip, picked up his suitcase, and got off the car on his own.

It was almost noon at this time. As soon as she left the car, the scorching sun shone directly on her body. She felt her wrists, neck and other exposed parts of her body slightly hot.

In a place like Victoria, where the midday temperature in April hovered around 25 degrees, the warm clothes she had brought from Ursus were obviously no longer appropriate.

Being on a business trip is really tiring, and we also have to consider the climate. Should we ask the Marquis for some travel expenses?

She muttered to herself as she walked into the building.

No matter where it is, the reception point of the Dagu Group seems to be exactly the same. There are always two waiters behind the reception desk, and there is always a Terra map hanging on the wall. The only difference is that the red dot representing the current location on the map has changed.

Shi Huaiya's family's businesses all give people a sense of order, regularity and uniformity, as if there is some clear logic behind them. Is this the business secret of the old capitalists?

Considering that her mission might be long, Bai Lang booked a room on the twelfth floor for half a month. After taking a short rest in the hotel, she put away her suitcase and weapons, put on only white gloves and went out.

This time she was planning to go to the National University of Victoria for a private inspection. Self-defense weapons would most likely be prohibited, so it would be more appropriate to leave them in the hotel in advance. However, Miss Lin's gloves should not be prohibited. Who would have thought that such a thing could be used as a weapon?

Before going to the university, she first found a clothing store nearby and made up an excuse that she was an international student from Ursus and hoped to dress more to fit in. She asked the owner to recommend a set of clothes for an ordinary college student.

This kind of clothing store near a school is specifically for students. The owner is very familiar with the needs of customers and quickly brings out several sets of clothes for customers to choose from.

Bailang decisively skipped the combinations related to long skirts, short skirts and dresses, and chose the sports suit recommended by the store owner, which consisted of a white T-shirt and a light red jacket on the upper body, and black stockings and shorts on the lower body.

Considering that stockings would inevitably reveal part of her thighs, she carefully changed them into pantyhose, and then she felt safe again.

After solving the clothing problem, she bought a red baseball cap to protect herself from the sun.

Now they are no different from the students outside, which completely meets her expectations of a low-key observation, Bai Lang thought happily.

She walked to the vicinity of Victoria National University and bought a ball of marshmallow from a roadside stall. While licking it, she secretly observed the situation at the school gate.

As expected, there is a guardhouse at the school gate. The guards do not care about people leaving the school. They only occasionally check the ID cards of students entering. Most students can enter freely and few are called in for ID checks. Those who are called in for checks are basically those who do not look like students.

It seems that her disguise is correct and she should be able to sneak in.

The White Wolf observed for a while and after confirming that his idea was correct, he saw that he had almost finished eating the marshmallow in his hand, so he decided to take action immediately.

She didn't know that while she was observing the school, someone was also secretly observing her.

Ina was already mesmerized, she swore that this was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen. She was originally going to the school's research institute to help her senior, but when she accidentally saw Miss Rupert eating marshmallows in the corner, she felt her heart seized and she could not walk.

Seeing that the other person finished eating the marshmallow and seemed to be walking towards the school, Ina became even more excited. The other person actually went to the same school as her!

It seems that I can't just focus on the laboratory, otherwise I would have discovered it long ago.

She was eager to run over and strike up a conversation, but suddenly she saw another male classmate, Lupo, walk over before her. She suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes and regretted that she was too slow to act.

At the same time, Miss Ina discovered that she seemed to be more than the only one who noticed Miss Rupert. She saw the shadow of the notorious noble young master in the college among several passers-by with ulterior motives.

What is most abundant in Londinium is nobles of all kinds.

In the schools of Londinium, there was no shortage of academic elites, nor of aristocratic children who were dissolute and led chaotic lives.

Volume 4: Chapter 72 Aina

The situation was just as Bai Lang had expected. The guard really thought she was a student and had no intention of checking her student ID.

She was delighted and was about to hurry into the school gate when she suddenly heard a voice behind her.

"Students in front, please wait a moment."

Bai Lang realized that the person who called her was a male student. She felt puzzled because she couldn't possibly have any acquaintances at Victoria National University, and it would be very strange for someone to call her.

She didn't want to cause any trouble, so she pretended not to hear anything and tried to quickly enter the school gate. But the person behind her actually ran over to her, shouting, "Please wait a moment."

Now she couldn't pretend she didn't hear it. What was worse was that the little incident at the door had attracted the attention of the guards, and several glances turned over.

White Wolf had no choice but to turn around reluctantly to see what was going on with the person behind him.

The person who came was a gray-haired Rupert dressed in expensive silk fabrics. He was a head taller than her, with pierced ears and shiny golden rings hanging on them. His eye sockets were black and his face was exhausted, as if he was over-exerted.

Without anyone's explanation, Bai Lang could guess which noble family this guy was from. She just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, so she asked directly, "What do you want from me?"

Gray-haired Rupert showed what he thought was a charming smile, handed over a small bag, and said, "Student, you dropped your things."

Bai Lang took a look at the small brown bag. She was sure it was not hers. Perhaps there were too many people at the door and the other party made a mistake.

She was about to clarify the misunderstanding when she suddenly noticed that this fellow tribesman had a strange light in his eyes, as if he was looking downward and forward inadvertently, and his Adam's apple was moving abnormally.

After a moment of confusion, she suddenly remembered that she was wearing stockings, and a chill ran through her heart.

If they were in a place where no one could see them, she swore to smash the guy's head off, but she was new here and the other party was a nobleman of unknown identity, so causing trouble would be very disadvantageous to her.

The other party's purpose should be to use this bag to open up a topic while the two of them are shirking each other's responsibility, and she can't let him do what he wants.

So, White Wolf took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, then reached out to take the bag, smiled and said: "Thank you, this is my stuff."

After saying that, she turned around and walked straight into the campus.

Young Rupert was stunned for a moment, he never thought that the other party would take the thing away just because of the conversation. The brocade bag was a good thing that worked every time, how could it be given to him and taken away by someone?

This won’t do. There’s a diamond watch in the bag, which he bought with great expense, and intended to show his status on dates. It’s very expensive, so he has to get it back quickly.

He was determined to get the things back, but before he took a step, he felt someone patting his shoulder from behind.

Who is so blind?

He turned his head angrily and saw a red-haired film girl standing very close to him. She was a very beautiful girl, but he had no intention of chatting her up. He knew that there were some people he could never afford to offend.

Young Lupo waved and greeted tremblingly: "Ai, Senior Aina, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Nothing." Ai Na pointed at Bai Lang's back with a smile and whispered, "That man is an old acquaintance of mine. You must not have any bad intentions."

"No, no." Young Rupert shook his head hurriedly. He knew very well that the other party had a close relationship with the "Staff of Kings" and was also one of the rising stars in the academy's research faction. If he was unhappy and went to the school to report, his life would not be easy even if his family had a background.

In Victoria, the only people who could compete with the powerful were academic researchers. This was the national policy handed down by the Sun King, the leader of Victoria's revival more than 600 years ago. Despite going through many ups and downs, it has never changed.

The soil of academic research began to settle more than 600 years ago. This is one of the reasons why Victoria still maintains its position as a world academic center despite the political downturn. The later-emerging Leithanian academic community, despite its strong development momentum, can only rank second.

After scaring the nobleman, Ina looked up and found that the silver-haired Miss Rupert was almost out of sight, so she hurriedly chased after her.

Bai Lang was walking alone on the gravel road of the campus. She originally planned to throw away the small bag she had picked up, but the heavy object inside caught her attention. She opened the bag and took out a brand new Minos watch.
