Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

Qin Liu got in the car, sat next to Bai Lang, and said to the person in the driver's seat with a smile: "Brother Oliver, I'll trouble you next."

Oliver just nodded without saying anything. He saw the two people sitting down from the rearview light, so he waved back and started the car engine.

"Can't you just put the suitcase aside?" Bai Lang kindly reminded Qin Liu when he saw her put the small suitcase on her legs.

"No need, there are props inside that I need."

"Props?"

"Well, things like hair care corners. I used to be a support soldier, and personal image is very important." Qin Liu said as he opened the small box. Bai Lang looked into the box curiously.

Inside was a small mirror, two wooden clips, three hair combs of different models, an eyebrow pencil, several bottles of cosmetics whose names could not be seen, and two clean white cloths.

Qin Liu explained, "I only had time to do a corner treatment this morning, and I haven't combed my hair properly. This time I'm going to Londinium, so I have to prepare well."

After she finished speaking, she propped up the mirror, picked up one of the combs, pulled her hair to the left, and combed it carefully and meticulously.

Bailang watched as Miss Qin Liu changed the three combs one after another. She used the big one first and saved the smallest one for last.

Are there so many tricks to combing hair? She thought to herself. Her habit was to just comb her hair casually, as long as it wasn't messy.

"How does Miss Olicia usually take care of her hair?" Qin Liu combed her hair and sprayed it a few times with a violet-scented hair spray, while trying to exchange experiences with Bai Lang.

Qin Liu really wanted to know how the nobles usually dressed themselves, but Bai Lang happened to know nothing about it. Instead of this, she would rather tell him about the thirteen starting moves of Ursus swordsmanship.

Even though she didn't understand, Miss White Wolf was still trying hard to be a sociable person. She racked her brains to think about it, and then, relying on her only expertise, she shared her experience on how to comb a tail with Qin Liu.

After she finished speaking, she remembered that due to different physiological structure, Vaifan had no need to comb his tail.

She wanted to say something awkwardly, but suddenly she felt the car stopped, so she reflexively looked up.

The car had been parked on the side of the road. Oliver turned around and said, "There's a checkpoint ahead. It'll take half an hour for the road to be open. I'm going to go out and have a cigarette first."

White Wolf looked out of the car window and found that the nearby road was blocked and several Victorian soldiers were standing at the intersection on duty.

Qin Liu took the initiative to explain: "The situation in Victoria is unstable now. The Londinium side is worried about accidents, so they disrupted the traffic rhythm of all nearby roads. This kind of thing often happens when people are stuck at intersections and wait for time."

"Are you worried about a large-scale intrusion by unknown forces?" White Wolf asked puzzledly, "I only heard that Crown Prince Victoria has not been settled yet. What kind of danger can there be in a place like this?"

Qin Liu sighed and said, "Outsiders may not be able to feel it and think that Victoria only has the problem of the crown prince, but in fact, there have always been people planning independence in this country. I really don't know what those bastards will do."

After listening to Qin Liu's words, Bai Lang felt as if she had suddenly realized something. She had actually seen scholars' analysis of Victoria in relevant books.

Because the country's policy on infected people is relatively relaxed, the conflict between infected people and ordinary people is secondary. Here, the real big problem is racial and regional issues, which is also a historical issue.

In the early process of unification, Victoria used force to subdue all sides and forcibly integrated regions with different races and cultures. The seeds of conflict were planted from the beginning.

A rebellion more than 600 years ago almost caused the country to fall apart. After the rebellion was quelled, the Sun King, the leader of Victoria's revival, followed the example of a certain emperor of Yan State and adopted the strategy of governing the country with culture and morality, established many universities, and vigorously developed academics. Victoria's culture flourished, and the entire country gradually assimilated and merged together because of the cultural bond.

But the rebellion was only temporary, and whenever Victoria fell into political corruption and the people suffered, the embers would burn again.

From Miss Qin Liu's negative attitude towards the rebels, it can be inferred that she received orthodox official education, but Bai Lang has a different opinion.

Every revolutionary is a rebel before he succeeds. It is a good thing that Victoria has such internal troubles. At least it will not allow those powerful people to become excessively corrupt.

But then again, people's hearts cannot stand the test, not all the rebels are just because of injustice. Sometimes, the incitement of people with ulterior motives can also gather great power. She was not sure about Victoria's situation and did not want to have a meaningless dispute, so she just nodded slightly and did not respond to Miss Qin Liu's words.

Volume 4: Chapter 76 Misunderstanding

Qin Liu also noticed that this sensitive topic was not suitable for small talk. She secretly regretted it and thought about diverting Miss Olicia's attention. She lowered her head and thought about it. Suddenly, she had an idea and thought of a very good idea.

"Ms. Olivia, your hair is a little messy."

"Ah, is there?" White Wolf quickly reached behind his back and smoothed his hair, saying in defense, "I just washed and dressed this morning."

Qin Liu excitedly took out a comb from the small box and said, "You must not be serious. Come, let me help you fix it."

Bai Lang was embarrassed to ask someone to help her do this, but she had finally become familiar with the other party. It would be too unkind to refuse at this time. It would be even worse if she was seen as putting on airs as a noble, so she nodded and agreed.

Miss Qin Liu had no idea about Bai Lang's complicated psychological activities. After getting permission, she took the comb in her right hand, and used her left hand to lift up Bai Lang's hair and gently combed it.

As she combed her hair, she asked, "Olicia, have you figured out how to recruit people at school?"

"I have considered it, but I haven't made up my mind yet." White Wolf listened to the rustling sound of the comb sliding through his hair and squinted his eyes comfortably. "I think we need to discover some advantages to attract talents."

"Advantage?" Qin Liu read it again, and suddenly thought of something. He smiled happily and stopped the movements of his hands.

"What are you laughing at?" White Wolf asked puzzledly.

"Isn't your advantage obvious?" Qin Liu approached from behind and whispered with a smile, "When the recruitment meeting starts, you can move a stool and sit there, and everyone will come over."

"Huh? Why?" Bai Lang asked, looking back in confusion. She didn't know that Miss Qin Liu was standing behind her on the right. When she turned back, their two white noses touched each other, their breaths could be heard, and their four big eyes faced each other.

Oliver, who had just finished smoking a cigarette, felt relaxed all over. He hummed a tune that he could only hum when there was no one around, and prepared to return to the car.

He walked a few steps and glanced casually in the direction of the car. He was stunned when he saw Jenny and Miss Olicia...

Not long ago, he rolled down the front window when he got out of the car. From his angle, he could just see through the window the two girls sitting close together in the back seat.

As a Victorian, Oliver actually knew a lot, but when such things suddenly happened around him, he still found it difficult to adapt.

What a waste of resources, he muttered to himself, and left the place alone, preparing to go to the corner to get a few more.

The strange scene in the car lasted less than two seconds. White Wolf woke up from his daze and quickly turned his head back, blushing and saying nervously: "Sorry, I didn't notice it before."

Qin Liu's heart was not calm either. She stared at Olisia's back in a daze, touched the tip of her nose, and gently touched her lips.

How strange, she thought, did our lips touch just now? Why is my heart beating so fast?

White Wolf's ears were extremely sensitive. When she heard some kind of movement outside, she shook her ears and asked, "Is there footsteps behind us?"

Qin Liu glanced behind him and saw Oliver running away into a small corner. He guessed that he might have misunderstood something. He wanted to find him to explain, but he felt that the more he explained, the more troublesome it would be. So he simply gave up the idea. After all, Oliver was a quiet person and would not gossip.

"It's a passerby, he's gone far away." As she spoke, she turned her head and stared at Miss Olicia's ear.

Qin Liu has always liked soft, angular animal ears, but unfortunately she doesn't have any. Just now, when she saw the ears move, she became even more eager: "Ms. Olicia, your ears are so cute."

Bai Lang immediately became extremely nervous. She had long realized that her ears were her weak spot. If Miss Qin Liu asked to touch them, it would be troublesome. So she quickly changed the subject: "It's normal. Your horns are also very beautiful. By the way, let's continue with the previous topic. Why did everyone come over when I moved a stool?"

Hearing the other party's words, Qin Liu remembered the interesting things that he had not had time to say just now, so he put away other messy thoughts and said with a smile: "Miss Olicia, think carefully about what I said, this hint is very obvious."

White Wolf frowned in confusion and thought. Suddenly, his eyes widened, his breathing became rapid, and he stammered, "This, this, is impossible. There is no such thing in the world."

Qin Liu continued to comb Bai Lang's hair. She noticed that the ear on the side of his face turned pink, and her whole face also turned red. She liked him more and more, so she covered her mouth and smiled, "It depends on where you are. In Victoria University, what I said is the truth. Miss Olicia can try to find someone on campus to help and see what everyone's attitude is."

Before Bai Lang could retort, she leaned in closer and added, "Not just male classmates, Victoria is very open in some aspects, so..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Miss Qin Liu blushed first. Fortunately, Bai Lang had his back to her and couldn't see it, so she put the comb down temporarily and patted her cheeks with both hands to cool herself down.

Jenny, Jenny, what's wrong with you today? Why do you say such things?

After experiencing a series of turbulent psychological fluctuations, White Wolf suddenly understood everything. She should have guessed this situation long ago. The mysterious handwriting in the library of Rhodes Island had already explained everything, but she had never paid attention.

The root of the problem still has to start with the Sun King. This heroic ruler did not quell the rebellion on his own. His wife and close military friend were equally important. According to records in court history books, the Sun King and his close friend had an almost inseparable relationship. The two of them sat in the same carriage, slept on the same bed, and worked together to quell the chaos that occurred six hundred years ago. Their deeds have also been passed down as beautiful stories.

The same deeds were interpreted differently in the aristocratic circles and in the countryside. Ordinary people only saw the close relationship between the monarch and his subjects, but the nobles who knew more secrets had a different view. Unfortunately, it is unknown how they discussed it in private.

The mysterious man wrote at the footer of a book in Rhode Island: With the lessons learned from the past, the nobles are destined to be corrupted. And because of Victoria's true feelings, the false phoenix and fake phoenix are nothing unusual.

If White Wolf were in Rhodes Island now, she could add a few sentences at the back of the book over there: Since the time of the Sun King, academics and nobles have been in the same position, and the spirit of the rich and powerful has gradually spread to the academies, leading to this view.

Terra is a place with an extremely complex cultural composition.

In Ursus, the nobility is the absolute symbol of power, and the common people are silent in front of them; while in Victoria, the nobility are relatively close to the people, and are often even used as a topic of conversation after dinner by ordinary people without any hesitation. Also, due to the influence of aristocratic culture on academia, appearance has even become the most advantageous tool in this country. It is truly a magical reality.

Volume 4: Chapter 77: Lofty Ideals?

After Oliver finished his third cigarette, he saw that the local garrison had opened the passage for travel, so he returned to the car.

He saw Jenny combing Miss Olivia's hair.

In fact, this kind of thing is very common. Perhaps out of personal interest, Jenny often helps other female operators in the base to take care of their hair. Oliver has seen it more than once or twice.

But this time the feeling was different. As the saying goes, the situation is determined by the mind. After the previous scene, he felt something was wrong no matter how he looked at it. She felt that Miss Jenny's expression seemed to be gentler than ever before, and her hands were also gentle...

He didn't dare to look again, and at the same time forced himself to ignore these strange thoughts. After calmly greeting the two people behind him, he drove on.

After driving for about an incense stick of time, the car entered a mountain road with steep stone walls on both sides. Oliver drove steadily. After passing a sharp turn, he suddenly saw a stone as big as a millstone in the middle of the road right in front of him.

He had no time to say hello and hurriedly turned the steering wheel. The car shook violently and drove diagonally along the edge of the cliff, barely going around the rock.

"Are you okay? This turn is too sharp and I didn't expect there was a rock behind us." Oliver explained as he stopped the car and looked back.

He only took a glance, then retracted his eyes as if he had received an electric shock, and said hastily: "I will go down and move the stone away. If I leave it here, other cars will be damaged."

"Miss Qin Liu, can you let me go?" Bai Lang asked shyly. Qin Liu, who was combing her hair, hugged her when the car accident happened. You know, the weather in Victoria is hot, and she is wearing thin clothes, so she can clearly feel the temperature of the other person, as well as the strange pressure on her back.

Qin Liu did not let go immediately, but asked with concern: "Did you hit anywhere on your body? Do you want me to take a look for you?"

"You're holding me so tight, there's no way I could be touched." White Wolf said in a joking tone.

"Hehe." Miss Qin Liu let go of her and said with a smile, "One of our missions is to provide security services, Miss Olicia, I reacted quickly just now, didn't I?"

White Wolf was about to answer when she saw Oliver open the driver's door and get back into the car. She looked out the window and saw that the large rock in the middle of the road had been moved away.

She turned around and asked, "Mr. Oliver, what happened to that rock? Did it roll down from the cliff?"

Qin Liu also looked at Oliver curiously, wanting to know what was going on.

"That's the only explanation." Oliver scratched his head in confusion. "This kind of thing doesn't happen often. It's impossible that someone put it there. We are just too unlucky."

White Wolf felt strange and looked at the road again. The location of the stone was just too coincidental. If it wasn't for Oliver's quick reaction, they might have hit it directly. The car would have been damaged at the least, and people would have been injured. But as Oliver said, they could only understand it as a natural accident.

The SUV continued to move forward. After what happened before, Oliver became more alert, but until they arrived at Londinium, they did not encounter any other accidents, so they no longer cared about it.

At the same time, in a hidden basement in Londinium, several gloomy-looking people were discussing matters, with piles of newspapers and periodicals beside them.

"How is the latest operation going?" asked the leader Filin.

Vaifan, who was sitting in a subordinate position, replied: “Everything is going well.”

"That's fine. The leader has emphasized that publicity work should be given top priority. Your mission is particularly important."

"I understand that there may be a traffic accident on the mountain road outside the city this afternoon. We have prepared the draft."

"Show it to me. Well, who is paying for the transactions between the Victorian rich and powerful?"

"That's right. The mountain road should have been repaired three years ago, and the floating port issue has been shelved for a long time. Recently, we plan to start from this point and hint in the newspapers that the authorities are playing power games with the people's tax money."

"Follow your plan." Feilin stood up and said, "I have something important to do in Xiaoqiu County, so I won't stay here for long. Remember what the leader said, our mission is destined to require us to endure for a long time, but the future will definitely be ours."

After Filin left, Zarak came over with his head down and reported to Vaifan: "The plan on the highway did not succeed. The stone has been moved away."

"I know that road. Maybe you didn't put it in the most reasonable position. The second half of the road is a cliff. Use your brain. Just let a car fall down and kill a few people."

Zalak hesitated. "Isn't it okay to cause serious injuries? Several people died in the last incident, including a seven-year-old child."

"That child." Vayfan's face showed a painful expression. "That incident has tormented me for a long time, but it is a necessary sacrifice. Victoria needs a second 'Sun King' to save her. For the greater good, what does a trivial matter matter? We are destined to bear these, everyone, you, me, the leader, we are all people who can sacrifice for that lofty ideal at any time."

Zalak nodded, a strange fire in his eyes.

……

White Wolf and his crew successfully entered Londinium and stopped the car in front of the hotel of the Dagu Group.

"Are we going to live in this place? It's so expensive." Qin Liu jumped out of the car and said in surprise, "Miss Olicia is really worthy of being a noble."

"Stop talking about this, go up first." White Wolf said depressedly. Victoria was open-minded. In Ursus, no one would talk to nobles like this. Although she looked depressed on the surface, she actually liked Miss Qin Liu's unconventional temper.

Of course she knew it was very expensive. If she didn't have the VIP card of Shi Huaiya's family, she would definitely not come here. It would be most cost-effective to find a small hotel with good value for money.

But now she has to pay for the rooms for three people, which is also a considerable expense. Fortunately, she now has 70,000 or 80,000 Longmen coins on her, and a valuable watch she bought on the side, so she doesn't have to worry about financial problems for the time being.

After completing the accommodation procedures, the three went to Bailang's room to discuss the next recruitment work.

Bailang knew the principle of trusting people when he employed them, so after briefly explaining the current situation, he took out the company information of Bingshi Mining and asked Qin Liu and Oliver to check it out.

The two people from Rhode Island originally thought it was a simple recruitment job, but after reading the information, their mentality changed a little.

Volume 4: Chapter 78: The Problem of Infected People

Oliver put down the document, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said seriously: "Excuse me, Miss Olicia, this recruitment may not be easy."

White Wolf nodded: "I have the same concern, tell me what you think."

"The first point is what you just mentioned, the climate issue. I grew up in Victoria and I know very well that people here don't like cold places." Oliver slowed down his speech, thought for a moment, and continued, "The climate should not be the key. It can be solved by raising salaries. The biggest problem is the issue of infected employees. You said that most of the ordinary employees of Ice Stone Mining are infected, which is an extremely unfavorable factor for recruitment."

Qin Liu's thoughts were similar to Oliver's, but she felt something was wrong when she saw this straightforward colleague discourage others as soon as he opened his mouth, so she quickly added, "It's actually okay. Researchers from Rhodes Island have held an Originium disease research meeting in Victoria, and their theories have long been spread. Besides, the conflicts among the infected people in Victoria are not very serious, so this problem is actually not that serious."

After hearing what Qin Liu said, Oliver suspected that the other party did not realize the essence of the matter. He thought that this would affect the final judgment and could not be taken lightly, so he explained again: "You are right. Rhodes Island's ideas are indeed widely circulated in Victoria, but old ideas cannot be eliminated in a day or two. Everyone is still worried about being infected by contact with the infected, and there are a large number of infected employees in Ice Stone Mining, so this recruitment..."
