Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

The style of this hotel is different from any other hotel I have seen before. There are no expensive decorations and no high-end furniture that symbolizes luxury and richness. It gives people a special, fresh and natural feeling.

All the glass furniture in the room, including coffee tables, lamp holders, windowsills, etc., are in a refreshing aqua blue color. On the four walls are landscape paintings and photographs of Xiosta, including flying white seagulls, lush islands, and blue beaches. Each work is from the hands of local artists.

In the living room, facing the window, there is an exquisite wooden shelf, on which are displayed beautiful shells, red sea coral fossils, half-weathered pearls, and a small sand table depicting the Xiosta beach...

Miss White Wolf quickly fell in love with this apartment. She felt that there were interesting things everywhere and almost treated it as a small private museum. She wagged her tail happily, lay on the shelf to observe carefully, and took out her mobile phone to take pictures of the little hermit crabs in the transparent aquarium.

It's not like she had never seen the sea before. There was a sea near Longmen, but there wasn't much interesting there. There were no corals, no pretty shells, the beach was relatively hard, and most of the coast was covered with black rocks, making it difficult to arouse interest in sightseeing.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Xiosta was indeed a tourist city, while Longmen was an economic city.

When Ceylon came over, Miss White Wolf was holding a conch shell on the side of her face, with her ears on top of her head shaking slightly, trying to listen to the 'sound of the sea'.

Hearing the knock on the door, White Wolf put the conch shell back on the wooden rack and welcomed Miss Ceylon in.

"How is it, Miss Olicia, do you like it here?" Ceylon asked with a smile as they walked.

"I like it." White Wolf nodded, looking around the room happily, "I now feel that Xiosta's success has its reasons, not just the environment, but all the details here make people feel that they are very thoughtful."

"Thank you for the compliment." Ceylon clasped his hands together happily. "Do you want to go visit the city before it gets dark?"

"Okay." Bai Lang agreed immediately. Although she had not seen enough of the collections in the apartment, she could study them at night.

When the two of them came to the street, Miss White Wolf looked around and asked in confusion, "Isn't Miss Black here?"

"She's busy." Ceylon pointed in the direction of the City Hall. "As soon as she came back, everyone seemed to have found their backbone."

"Hey, could it be that Miss Hei has worked at the City Hall?"

"Well, she used to be the chief of the city's police department, and she often appeared as my father's assistant."

"what?!"

Miss Bailang had never expected that Hei had such a powerful background. She felt strange at once. You know, it was she who appointed Miss Hei as the head of the company's security department.

How could she have deserved to arrange Xiosta’s former chief of public security to be the head of security for a small company?

Xilan saw what Bailang was thinking and smiled to comfort him, "Don't think too much. Sister Hei is the kind of person who doesn't pick troubles. As long as it's work, she will do her best and won't consider her status."

"Okay." Miss White Wolf scratched her head somewhat angrily.

The two were walking on the streets of Xiosta. As it was still early in the winter of Xiosta and the temperature was relatively high, men and women in shorts and short shirts could be seen everywhere on the streets. Near the beach shuttle bus, tourists could be seen walking and playing in swimsuits.

To be honest, at the beginning, Miss White Wolf was greatly shocked. To her, everyone's dress was a little too bold, but she tried her best to appear calm so as not to be thought unsophisticated and thus lose face.

As she walked, she secretly complained in her heart: For some people who regard legs as the main aesthetic point, the so-called "leg control", a place like Xiosta is probably a paradise.

Facts have proved that under the influence of the environment, personal will will be distorted to a certain extent. Along the way, Miss White Wolf unknowingly got used to the clothes of the people around her, and gradually began to think that there was nothing wrong with wearing shorts, and that being too old-fashioned would make her look pedantic.

The sea breeze in Xiosta was very gentle, and it was very pleasant when it blew on her skin. She was nostalgic for this warm and gentle breeze, and she felt more and more that wrapping herself tightly was a waste of this time.

However, when she passed by a street clothing store selling shorts and swimwear, she chose to pretend not to see it.

The two sat down on a bench in the beach park to rest. Miss White Wolf looked up and saw a huge hill with a depression in the middle right in front of them. It was probably a few kilometers away from them. From afar, they could see lush trees at the foot of the mountain. The higher they went, the sparser the grass and trees became, and a reddish-brown mountain appeared.

Miss Ceylon explained, "That mountain is Mount Xiosta. If you look at it from the air, it looks a bit like a crater."

"A dead volcano?" White Wolf asked subconsciously.

After she finished speaking, she felt that she was really talking nonsense. The people of Xiosta were not fools. Since the city was here, it meant that it must be a dead volcano.

However, Miss Ceylon's answer was not very clear.

"It's a dead volcano." Ceylon looked ahead worriedly. "It's just that Xiosta mined too much obsidian in the volcanic area before, which affected the structure of the mountain. There are rumors that the volcano may be revived again."

"Logically, the chances of a dead volcano reviving is very low."

"Almost zero, but almost doesn't mean certain. More than a decade ago, a dead volcano in Minos unexpectedly revived. Since then, the people of Xiosta have become afraid. Later, my father set up a volcano observatory there, and everyone's panic was alleviated. But that observatory... Alas."

"What? Is there anything unusual at the observatory?"

"Yes, something happened this year, Miss Olicia. Didn't you ask me before if there was anyone to help father deal with affairs? Actually, there was someone before, that is Kronin. He is the assistant trained by father himself, and he also set up the volcano observatory."

"Is there something wrong with this Kronin?"

"Yes, everyone thought he was loyal, but I didn't expect that more than half a year ago, when I decided to join our company, Kroening's affairs were investigated. It turned out that he had been colluding with the mine owner of REM Billiton under the pretext of his work convenience to mine the banned obsidian mine."

"You said earlier that the obsidian mines were related to the threat of volcanoes."

"Yes, this is a very complicated issue. The mining of obsidian affects the mountain structure and the internal ecology of the volcano, and may cause accidents. Therefore, more than ten years ago, Xiosta enacted a law to ban the mining of obsidian. I don't know how Kronin got in touch with the big mine owners of Rem Billiton. Fortunately, Sister Hei discovered it early."

Chapter 2022 Volcano Problem 12-17-12 00:02:

Miss White Wolf understood that it was difficult to guard against a thief in one's own home, but fortunately, Kroening's affairs were discovered in advance, so she felt relieved.

She comforted Ceylon, "Anyway, it's good to find out."

However, Miss Ceylon lowered her head in annoyance: "I did find out, but in the end he ran away, and now you blame me."

"Uh." Miss White Wolf didn't know how to respond.

"Sister Hei is from RemBitol and happened to know about the big mine owners, so she was able to discover the anomaly and then she kept investigating. Later, when I went from Xiosta to Ursus, my father wanted Sister Hei to accompany me, and I agreed. So Sister Hei's investigation results had to be made public in advance. After the results were made public, I learned that there was such a thing."

"Did Kronin run away because he received the news in advance?"

"No, it was because of insufficient evidence. He found several gaps in the evidence and held on to them. We had no way to deal with him, and then he fled to Rem Billiton overnight. Well, if Sister Hei can continue to investigate undercover, she will definitely be able to bring Kronin to justice in the future. It's all my fault that she interrupted it early. You don't know that there were some problems in the energy cooperation between Xiosta and Rem Billiton. After Kronin went to Rem Billiton, he caused trouble there, resulting in us having to buy energy products from the Business Federation at a high price. Alas, now you know why I always want to cooperate with our company."

"I think I'm also wrong." White Wolf scratched his head embarrassedly, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gone to Ursus at that time."

"Hey, please don't think like that. The only real bad guy in this matter is Kronin. Besides, going to Ursus was my own choice. I would do the same thing again. Judging from the results, I think I made a big profit."

"But Kronin ran away."

"It doesn't matter that he ran away. What's more important is that you are standing here now."

Miss White Wolf looked at Ceylon's expectant and trusting eyes and lowered her head in embarrassment: "Ceylon, don't say that. I'm under so much pressure."

Miss Ceylon couldn't help but say happily: "What's wrong, just relax."

"I feel like if I don't do something, I'll be letting Xiosta down."

Miss Ceylon smiled, her eyes becoming softer. "Miss Olicia, we are here to negotiate, please don't weaken your momentum."

"Don't worry about your momentum." Miss White Wolf showed her confidence. "You will know when the time comes. I am very strong."

Miss Ceylon still smiled: "I don't believe it."

After being denied by her own employee, Miss White Wolf suddenly became anxious, her dark eyes widened: "Hey, I never joke, and you, you even revealed Xiosta's weaknesses... Hey~ Ceylon, the information you just gave is very unfavorable to Xiosta. If Xiosta is being taken advantage of by the Business Federation, then doesn't it have to cooperate with us?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, no one can hear it." Ceylon hurriedly covered Miss White Wolf's mouth. She didn't want to be mistaken for the second Kroning by people who didn't know the truth.

"Woo woo~ I understand."

Miss Ceylon let go of her hand, glanced at it quickly, and then said seriously: "Actually, I have a reason for doing this."

"I'm listening."

"You see, I'm from Icestone Technology."

"Yes, you are."

"So if Icestone Technology wins the negotiation, doesn't that mean I won?"

"Makes sense."

"I am still a Xiosta. If Xiosta wins the negotiations, I am still the winner."

"That makes sense. Hey, what if I use the information gap to make Xiosta lose?"

"It depends on you, Miss Olicia. Do you want me to lose?"

"That... won't happen. We have already discussed it. I definitely can't go back on my word."

"That's all." Ceylon said happily.

In fact, the reasons why she said so much were quite complicated. On the one hand, she fully trusted Miss Olicia. On the other hand, she always had a strange feeling that if she let the other party know more inside information about Xiosta, it might be beneficial to Xiosta.

Miss White Wolf pinched her chin and thought about what Ceylon said. She felt as if she had achieved a win-win situation, which was equivalent to "I win twice". How did she do this?

After a brief thought, she felt that there seemed to be a problem with the logic here, but in this kind of thing, logic did not seem to be important. She stopped thinking about it and continued the previous topic and asked: "Is the volcano observatory still operating normally?"

"No, before he left, Kroening destroyed the observatory's control device. Although it was repaired later, it can only perform the most basic surface observations. It has little practical significance. My father allowed the observatory to continue operating, more for symbolic significance."

Miss White Wolf thought of something interesting and burst out laughing. She covered her mouth and said, "The symbolic meaning is to make people feel protected?"

Ceylon's face was flushed. "Ms. Olicia, your criticism is really sharp. Actually, my father also wants to solve this problem, but he just can't think of a way. Xiosta has been troubled internally and externally recently, and he has to work until late every day. Otherwise, you can help me with some ideas."

"How can I do that?" Miss White Wolf said with a smile. She glanced at the volcano in the distance and said thoughtfully, "The most urgent task should be to determine whether the volcano is dangerous or not."

Ceylon said distressedly, "Yes, but Kroenig is gone, and none of us can be sure of this."

Miss White Wolf smiled and said, "Let professionals handle professional matters. Don't forget Miss Eyjafjalla. She is a top expert in volcanology. You can ask her for advice on Xiosta's problem."

"You mean to ask Miss Eyjafjalla to come to Xiosta?"

White Wolf thought for a moment and said, "Not only Eyjafjalla, but Skyfire is also an expert in geology and has profound knowledge in the field of volcanology. After the meeting at Longmen is over, it would be best to invite both of them to come over for an assessment."

Xilan reminded carefully: "If Sister Tianhuo comes, Aina will definitely clamor to come as well. If that happens, the company's research floor will basically be empty."

"It's okay. Just think of it as inviting everyone to Xiosta to have fun. Ceylon, if I use this to negotiate with your father, do you mind?"

Miss Ceylon said sternly, "You can ask him for money. Xiosta doesn't lack this."

"That's settled then." Miss White Wolf also relaxed. "But before that, we still need to let Eyjafjalla and the others know more data. Ceylon, I plan to go to the volcanic area to investigate tomorrow, take some photos, collect some samples, and then bring them to Eyjafjalla and the others."

"I'll go with you."

White Wolf hesitated. “I talked to Miss Eyjafjalla about volcanic research before, so I plan to go as deep as possible.”

Miss Ceylon was a little unwilling: "Is that so? Then you don't have to worry about me. I will wait for you in the safe outer layer depending on the situation. Let Sister Hei go with you."

Bai Lang thought of Miss Hei's skills and felt that if the two of them were together, they would have someone to take care of them in case they encountered danger, so he nodded and agreed.

Chapter 2022 Aesthetic Criticism 12-18-12 00:03:

That night, after dinner, Bailang and others found Miss Hei in the guard room of Xiosta. The three of them gathered together to discuss tomorrow's trip to the volcano.

Miss Hei became nervous immediately after learning that Ceylon was also going to the inside of the volcano. Ceylon, who was well prepared, knew the reason for her nervousness and said that she would stay in the obsidian mine area inside the volcano.

Hearing his young lady say this, Hei felt relieved and asked again: "Then how deep do we need to go?"

"The deeper, the better." Miss White Wolf said, "When it comes to the volcano problem in Xiosta, it's more likely that we can get effective sample data at a deeper depth."

"Well, in that case, you might need a protective suit."

"Protective clothing?"

"It's for fire prevention. It's in the guard room. Wait a moment."

Miss Black got up and left the room. About three minutes later, she came back with a bunch of folded black clothes and put them on the table.

"This is it. It's a specially made flame-retardant tights. We prepared a lot of this kind of clothes when we mined the obsidian mine. It can ensure that we won't get burned."

Miss White Wolf picked up the flame-retardant tights and examined them. It was a thin leather garment that felt cool and smooth. After examining it, she asked curiously:

"I feel like the clothes are a little small, and it's hard to put on."

"Don't worry." Hei guessed that Miss Olicia had never worn tights, so he explained, "It's very elastic. Once you put it on, it will wrap around your body naturally."

Wrap it around your body?

Bai Lang keenly noticed the key words, and she remembered that the thing in her hand was called a tights, so she couldn't help but start imagining what she would look like in it.

The tights fit the body perfectly...

No, no, it's too obscene just thinking about it, absolutely unacceptable!

If she was afraid of burns, she would probably have to bear it for the sake of the investigation, but the truth was that what she was least afraid of was fire, and she was even very good at playing with fire.

Due to the special nature of her Originium skills, her control over the element of fire has reached an extremely terrifying level. If she is prepared, once external flames touch her body, they will turn into gentle and harmless Origin Energy.

So, she doesn't need any fireproof clothing at all. In an environment like a volcano, the less she wears, the higher her magic resistance will be.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Miss White Wolf came to the conclusion that she only needed to dress like the Xiosta people that could be seen everywhere on the streets to have the conditions to perfectly carry out the mission.

As a partner who would be working together, Hei listened carefully to Miss Olicia's countermeasures, and thus gained a certain understanding of her Originium skills.

Afterwards, the three of them separated, and Miss White Wolf went to the street alone, ready to find a clothing store to buy "equipment".

In the 'beach clothing store' on the street, the salesgirl yawned and counted the time to get off work. After nine o'clock in the evening, there would be basically no new customers coming to the clothing store, and her only duty was to wait for the store to close on time at ten o'clock.

However, today the store welcomed a special guest who was beautifully dressed, like a character from a Victorian movie, and she was also very beautiful, so beautiful that people didn't even bother to feel jealous.

The man told her that he wanted to buy a suit and planned to try it on, which might waste a lot of time.
