Why do I feel so light-hearted? Am I happy too?
I have to reply something, but what should I say?
You're welcome?
No, saying "you're welcome" is just playing the devil's advocate. Wouldn't that make the other person unhappy?
Just don't reply?
Wouldn't that make me seem cold and indifferent?
What should I do? I'm so sad. What should I do?
Miss Skadi stood alone on the deck, lost in deep mental exhaustion, and she vaguely had an idea: it would be better not to deal with people.
After dinner, White Wolf made an appointment with Exia and Angelina to meet tomorrow, then left the room with a few unfinished apple pies.
Volume 2: Chapter 5: Miss Skadi
Rhodes Island's open deck is on the south side of the ship, adjacent to the boundless sea. The evening breeze passes through the deck, bringing bursts of salty and humid smell.
There was no moon tonight, but because of the lights in the distance, the deck was not completely dark. I could just about make out the surroundings vaguely.
White Wolf searched the deck according to the location pointed out by Skadi, and soon she saw a lonely figure at the edge.
That should be Miss Skadi.
She walked over step by step, and could hear the sound of her footsteps on the deck with every step. The figure at the edge of the ship was still looking at the sea silently, not at all startled by the approaching people.
This is a girl with long white hair, with a nearly two-meter-long sword leaning against her side. On the hilt of the sword is a uniquely shaped hat, whose streamlined appearance resembles the fin of some large fish.
When she was about ten meters away from the other person, the lonely girl suddenly turned around, and her red eyes looked mysterious and deep in the night.
"Please don't come over here!"
Ok?
"It's fine right there."
Skadi's voice was soft, yet firm.
White Wolf stood there in confusion: "I am White Wolf, good evening, Miss Skadi."
"I'm Skadi."
The other party simply replied, then gently threw the thing in his hand over. The small silver object drew a standard parabola and fell into the White Wolf's hand. It was a small key.
White Wolf put away the key, waved the snack in his hand, took a step forward and said, "Miss Skadi, I brought apple pie."
"Don't come over." Skadi's voice was a little flustered, "It's not good for you... Many people are afraid of me."
What could be wrong? White Wolf became more and more confused. She felt that she had nothing to be afraid of, so she walked over and handed the apple pie to Skadi.
"Here, Miss Skadi, it's delicious. I brought it to you as a thank you gift. Try it."
Skadi raised her head and looked at the person in front of her. The other person's hair color was the same as hers. The apple pie in her hand exuded a sweet smell. She felt a little relieved. She reached out to take the snack and said in an awkward tone: "Thank...thank you."
"You're welcome."
At this moment, Bai Lang's attention has been attracted by the uniquely shaped sword, and he bent down to check it out with great interest.
Skadi didn't stop him. She ate the apple pie in small bites, her eyes fixed on the white wolf with curiosity.
It's not like she had never come into contact with other people from the mainland, but those interactions were all stiff and businesslike. This was her first unique experience.
"Skadi, can I try it?" White Wolf turned his head expectantly.
Skadi held the snacks in both hands and nodded blankly.
Miss White Wolf grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and tried to lift it upwards, but the weight of the sword was far beyond her expectations. She could only lift it a little bit with all her strength, and then she had to let go because of exhaustion.
"Huh, huh, Miss Skadi, do you usually use this kind of weapon to fight?" White Wolf asked in disbelief, panting.
"Ah."
Skadi ate the last piece of apple pie, stretched out her right hand, easily picked up the weapon, and swung the sword upwards: "It's very easy to use. Usually it's like this, bang, just knock the enemy away."
White Wolf was so frightened by Skadi's demonstration that she dared not even breathe. She had no doubt that if the other party was not careful, she would be the one to be knocked away.
The two chatted on the deck for a while. Miss Skadi was not very good at speaking. She basically just answered White Wolf's questions. Every answer was very serious. White Wolf had never seen anyone who spoke so seriously.
As the night deepened, White Wolf and Skadi said goodbye and went to each other's dormitory alone. Miss Skadi did not come with them. She said that she was not used to living in a room and preferred to take a nap on the deck while enjoying the sea breeze.
Skadi's room was simple and clean, yet it gave people a sense of placelessness, and it was obvious that its owner seldom entered it.
The only exception is a wooden lounge chair at the door. This chair is placed in the most convenient position for moving, which shows that the owner of the room is particularly fond of this piece of furniture.
Maybe it was moved outside to bask in the sun, White Wolf guessed based on his own experience.
After she finished washing up and lying on the bed, her mind began to wander:
I will leave Rhodes Island tomorrow, and I don't know if the future will be smooth. Miss Yatli is from Ursus, is it possible to meet her by chance this time?
The news I heard on the way said that Bozhukas had become a traitor to Ursus. What was the relationship between my adoptive father and him? Could my letter be delivered?
Does the integration movement in memory really exist? Why have we never heard of it?
Amidst his confused thoughts, White Wolf fell asleep.
At some point, she began to dream of a burning earth and a frenzied crowd. Suddenly, she saw a person walking in the front, followed by her followers, and then stepped into the sea of fire. The scene changed again, with colorful smoke rising, mountains and rivers flattened, tall buildings turned into ruins, and Rhodes Island's ships fell into the abyss...
The next morning, Bai Lang woke up early. The scene in her dream was still vague. She only remembered that she seemed to have had a nightmare that made no sense.
After sobering up with cold water, she contacted Skadi, returned the key, then hurriedly ate breakfast and went to the medical department with Archangel.
The materials that needed to be transported by Penguin Logistics were placed in several suitcases. Miss Angel and White Wolf divided the work. One person put the things into the garage first, and the other took the list to find Kal'tsit for signature.
White Wolf didn't know how to get to the garage, so he accepted the latter task. After Archangel Night wrote the receiving list, he took the things to the office to find Kal'tsit.
On the way, she happened to meet Amiya, who was going to take care of some things near the office, and the two happened to be going the same way.
White Wolf remembered the employee forum he saw yesterday, and said casually: "Amiya, I saw the employee forum of Rhodes Island yesterday and saw a videotaping activity."
"Yes, it has been held many times. Miss White Wolf can also participate."
"Oh, I remember there were all kinds of photos in it, but I didn't see any of Ms. Kal'tsit. Is she not attending in person?"
"of course not."
Amiya's eyes rolled around, and suddenly she thought of a good idea.
Kal'tsit always left everyone with a very stern and serious impression, so no one dared to mention taking pictures. She herself wanted to take pictures but didn't dare to. Miss White Wolf was a bit special. She was a newcomer who was not very familiar with Rhodes Island. It was natural for her to suddenly want to take some pictures after seeing the event.
So, Amiya encouraged enthusiastically, "Teacher Kal'tsit is very supportive of this kind of employee activities. She must be too busy, so she forgot. Miss White Wolf, if you have time, can you go and help take some photos?"
"I just happened to be going over to deliver something, so I'd like to take some photos while I'm there?"
"Yeah, be sure to send me a copy after you finish filming."
"Ok."
Bai Lang and Amiya parted ways and continued walking forward with the documents. Recalling what had just happened, she felt that Miss Amiya seemed strange, as if she was too concerned about the photos and even added her as a forum friend specifically for this purpose.
Volume 2: Chapter 6 Peer Pressure
White Wolf knocked on the door and walked into Kal'tsit's office.
"Are you here to sign the Penguin Logistics delivery note?" Kal'tsit looked up at White Wolf.
"Ah."
"Sit down for a while. I need to deal with something urgently. It will only take three minutes."
White Wolf sat down across from Kal'tsit's desk, took out his phone and waved it: "Kal'tsit, can I take a picture of you?"
Kelsey paused with her pen, then continued writing: "Why do you want to take pictures?"
Bai Lang said sheepishly: "I saw the activity you approved. The rewards are very generous. I want it."
Kal'tsit really likes this way of speaking. The voice is soft and pleasant, and the meaning is simple and pure. Her expression softened unconsciously, with a little smile: "Then how did you find this place? Aren't there a lot of people to take pictures with?"
"What's the difference? I didn't see your photo, so I wanted to take it with you."
"There's nothing different, just take the photo. It's just that I'm not used to posing for photos."
"It's okay, it's okay. Actually, I don't like it either. I think a lot of those actions are shameful."
Kal'tsit continued to work, while Miss White Wolf picked up her phone and concentrated on taking pictures. She was most satisfied with the pictures of her working and smiling. Perhaps because Kal'tsit seldom smiled, these pictures had a very unique charm.
A few hours later, when White Wolf left Rhodes Island, Amiya, who had just finished work, saw the photo sent to her by the other party. After that, Miss Amiya was in a trance for a long time, and her little head became unclear.
Now that he had taken satisfactory photos, Bailang put away his phone and watched the other party busy with his chin in his hand. At this time, Kal'tsit finally completed the "Preliminary Cooperation Terms of Kalan Trade" and then put the "Penguin Logistics Receipt List" in front of him.
"Bai Lang, Zi Lan told me that you didn't ask her to assign a dormitory yesterday."
"No need. I have to leave today anyway, so I'll stay at Miss Skadi's place for one night. It won't be too late to assign it next time I come."
Kal'tsit nodded, and then asked in surprise, "Did you just say... Skadi?"
"Um, Skadi, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing actually. She is a very special bounty hunter."
"Is it the same as mine?"
"Almost. She has a lot of things of her own to do, and sometimes she accepts orders from Rhodes Island. To her, Rhodes Island may just be a special bounty hunting organization."
"By the way, she usually doesn't communicate with strangers. Since we know each other, if you meet her in Ursus, you can ask her for some military support."
"Military support? Actually, I think I can do it pretty well." Today, after going through all kinds of hardships, Bai Lang has become more and more confident in his abilities.
Since both parties are bounty hunters, White Wolf inevitably develops a sense of competition. Although Miss Skadi is strong, her Originium skills are not to be underestimated.
Kal'tsit looked at the confident Miss White Wolf with a strange look, suppressed the cold words she was about to say, and patiently explained:
"She may be more powerful than you think. You have learned about the standards of Rhodes Island's elite operators from Frank, right?"
Bai Lang was surprised and said, "I have a general understanding of her. Could it be that she has reached the level of an elite operator?"
Kal'tsit shook her head: "No, she is the kind that is not convenient to evaluate using the standards of an elite operator."
Miss White Wolf's tail drooped down, and she lay on the table like a deflated ball, her chin tapping the back of her hand: "Kal'tsit, do you think I can become an elite operator in the future?"
Kal'tsit did not answer directly, but talked about another matter: "White Wolf, your mission in Rhine Life, even the elite operators can't do it as well as you."
"Really?" White Wolf's eyes lit up.
"This is the joint assessment result of the Iron City Office, the mission client, and the Rhodes Island ship."
"Hey, then I'm still quite good."
"of course."
Kal'tsit looked at Miss Rupert in front of her with a smile in her eyes.
The chat with Kal'tsit did not last too long. After reviewing the list of supplies, White Wolf said goodbye and left, taking the things back to find Angelica. The two went to the garage in Rhodes Island together.
There are a large number of mission vehicles displayed in the garage, including but not limited to transport vehicles, off-road vehicles, ordinary cars, sports cars, etc., even the rarest tractors are there.
Angel Exia was very interested in these vehicles and took the initiative to introduce them to White Wolf. However, White Wolf's interest and understanding of the vehicles were only average, so he could only follow Angel Exia and listen to the expert's explanation.
Half an hour had passed after they finished talking, and the two of them sat casually on a cardboard box in the corner of the warehouse to rest.
"Archangel, do you like studying these cars?" White Wolf asked with emotion.
"You can call me Aneng, that's what my acquaintances call me." Angel of Power continued, "This is my second favorite thing. In fact, Texas knows more about this than I do. She will be here soon, and you will understand in a moment."
A few minutes after Angelica finished speaking, a car horn suddenly sounded from not far away, and a gray off-road vehicle came into their sight. The driver paid no attention to the complicated space in the garage at all, and rushed in from the door. After a graceful drift, he stopped steadily in front of the two people.
The car door opened, and White Wolf saw Rupert, wearing a gray and white coat, jumping out of the car. When their eyes met, the latter was obviously stunned.
Volume 2: Chapters 7 & 8: Reasonable Association
Ever since the tragedy in her family, Texas has gradually developed an indifferent personality, and very few people or things can cause her mood to fluctuate.
Since there are very few, it does not mean that there are none. If there are still some people in this world that she cares about from the bottom of her heart, then apart from her partners in Penguin Logistics, there may be only one person left - Lapland.
Texas couldn't tell what her relationship with the white Luper was. Enemies? Friends? Or something else. The two seemed to be trapped in the web of fate, entangled with each other.
This was also the reason why she was in a trance when she saw the white wolf for the first time.
But this was only a temporary misunderstanding. A little observation would reveal that the other person's appearance and temperament were completely different from Lappland's.
