Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

"The nobles of the empire will be excited by this. After all, the continuation of conflicts between countries is always more eye-catching than the chaos caused by the infected groups. While the nobles' attention is attracted, Ice Stone will be closer to the wheel of the empire in their eyes. When the nobles regard Ice Stone as 'one of their own', the company's purpose of hiding itself will be achieved. As the 'behind the scenes' and 'instructor', you should also get something. How to use that thing depends on your consideration."

After Miss White Wolf finished speaking, Marquis Caroline remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed softly: "Lillian, do what you want to do. You can get any help you need from me."

It was the first time that White Wolf saw the Marquis like this, and he secretly stuck out his tongue. He said obediently: "Well, then I won't say thank you."

"Little girl, why are you thanking me?" The Marquis smiled and waved his hands as if waking up from a dream. "Oh, by the way, I have another question. How can you be sure that Kalan Trade will cooperate with you? Your Ice Stone is completely at a disadvantage now. Aren't you afraid of being turned away if you rush over excitedly?"

Miss White Wolf once again showed her foxy smile, her dark eyes flickering:

"You've also mentioned that Kjerag is a poor country, and from what I've heard, it's extremely cold there. We're experts in ice and stone, and given Enthiotis's abilities and knowledge, I'm afraid they've already targeted us right after our press conference ended."

Chapter 2023 Job-hopping 03-11-12 00:02:

After the discussion, Miss White Wolf originally planned to wait until the next day and set out directly from Koros City to Kjerag, but the Marquis reminded her of something at the last minute.

This mission requires bringing an entourage along, otherwise, it would be very strange for an imperial noble and entrepreneur to go to another country alone to discuss cooperation.

Miss White Wolf understood that what the Marquis said made sense, and subconsciously began to think about which people in the company would be better to bring with her. She found that the first people she thought of were Ceylon and Miss Black.

Miss Hei is usually serious and acts cautiously, which fits the image of an Ursus noble follower. Unfortunately, at the instigation of Miss Ceylon, she took the letter back to Xiosta.

As for Miss Ceylon...

She didn't know why she thought of Ceylon first. Maybe she had to take Miss Hei with her if she wanted to take her there? Or maybe she liked having a good friend who listened to her talk?

She knew that her thoughts were rather peculiar, and was usually not willing to talk about them with others. Only Miss Ceylon, like a smart and well-behaved student, would ask her all kinds of questions seriously every time.

Unfortunately, most of the people Bai Lang thought were suitable had gone to Longmen to participate in academic conferences, while another reliable Mr. Mu had to stay in the company.

Seeing that Lillian was hesitant, the Marquis suggested, "Remember the security personnel I arranged for you? Among them are two of their elite operators."

This sentence woke Miss White Wolf up. She remembered that when she was in Bratz City, the Marquis had helped her hire thirty Black Steel International security personnel for a three-year term. Two of the elites were directly under her command. Their names seemed to be... Razer, and the other one seemed to be Fuka.

To be honest, she couldn't remember clearly. Those two and other staff members of Heigang were independent of the company. Apart from security work, they did not participate in any internal affairs of the company. She was usually busy and had almost no contact with them, so of course she didn't remember it clearly.

The Marquis looked up at Lillian while reading the newspaper. "If there are no suitable candidates, take them with you. Black Steel International and Kalan Trade have a cooperative relationship. If you bring the Black Steel people with you, they may be useful in Kjerag."

Miss White Wolf nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back this afternoon."

……

North of Koros City.

In the staff dormitory of Bingshi Technology.

Miss Franka was lying lazily on the sofa, with a lollipop hanging in her mouth and her eyes fixed on her mobile phone with great pleasure.

Miss Razer was sitting at the desk with a pile of metal parts in front of her. She held a cleaning spray in her left hand and a mini soft-bristle brush in her right hand, carefully cleaning the dirt on the parts.

Franka finished reading her novel with satisfaction, then put down her phone, stretched lazily, and looked for her partner: "Hey, Razer, why are you maintaining your pistol again? Didn't you just disassemble it a few days ago?"

"Not the other day." Razer corrected, "The last maintenance was a week ago, and it's time again this time."

"Almost, almost. I've almost lost track of time here. I really don't understand why you maintain your health so frequently."

As Razer assembled his gun, he said seriously: "Only by ensuring that the weapon is in good condition can we complete the mission most efficiently and safely."

"Ah, ah, it's the same thing again. We have nothing to do every day now. Don't you feel a little stupid?"

"This is a must." Miss Razer obviously disagreed with her partner's words, and even tried to correct her partner's ideas. "Our duty is security. Even if Miss Olicia doesn't need us for the time being, we must always..."

Franka didn't bother to pay attention to her partner's reasoning. She knew she couldn't convince him, just like he couldn't convince her.

However, her rapier relied on Originium skills and required almost no maintenance. She only needed to go to the training ground every day to practice sword skills. She turned over happily on the sofa, letting the warm air from the heat engine blow on her tail.

"Razer, this is the best job we have ever had. We don't have to travel far, we don't have to face bossy employers, there is no danger, we just need to patrol outside regularly, and the rest of the time is all free time. We can read, sleep, go to the training ground, whatever we want, and it pays very well. Well, the only drawback is that it is not convenient to go shopping."

Razer listened to her partner silently. In fact, she also liked and was surprised by Bingshi's environment.

When she first received this three-year mission, she was extremely resistant, not because of herself, but because she was worried about Franka who was already infected. In various places in Terra, the infected people would be treated differently to varying degrees, but the Ursus Empire turned the differential treatment into persecution.

Her superior assured her that her employer was an old acquaintance who was trustworthy, and if Franka really had a hard time here, she could apply for someone else to replace her. This made Razer feel relieved temporarily.

Today, the worries and hesitations of the past have long gone. She discovered that although this place also belongs to Ursus, there is not a trace of oppression by the infected. In fact, the largest number of people here are the infected.

In the place where the infected were most oppressed, in the heart of darkness, they unexpectedly found a pure land where the infected could live a normal life.

Razer knew very well that Franka, as an infected person, liked Ice Stone very much and was very happy every day here.

She herself is not infected and does not have the same deep understanding as Franka. She is more concerned about Franka's condition. Ice Stone Technology will provide high-quality medical services to all members, including them. This is the main reason why she values ​​Ice Stone.

"Razer, why don't we just quit Black Steel~" Franka suddenly suggested on a whim.

The thoughtful Razer was shocked when he heard his partner's words: "We have an agreement."

"I know. We just need to wait until the three-year deadline is over. Then we won't leave. It would be great to change jobs and follow Miss Olicia."

"This one……"

Razer didn't know how to answer for a moment. She was a person who followed the rules. She had to think about a lot of things before making a decision like this, and she couldn't suddenly accept her partner's whimsical ideas.

Fortunately, there was a sudden knock on the door, and she answered it. They both looked towards the door at the same time.

"Who is it?" Franca shouted in dissatisfaction, "There are still two hours before the shift change. Didn't I tell you not to disturb me if you don't have anything to do?"

Razer was just about to remind the other party that the visitor was most likely not one of their people, because the members of Black Steel would send messages directly if they had something to say, but her thoughts could not keep up with Franka's temper, and the other party had already run over to open the door angrily.

Chapter 2023: Kjerag's Past 03-12-12 02:56:

The door opened, and the unhappy Franca wanted to make a few more criticisms, but she lost her voice the moment she opened her mouth.

Standing outside was the person she had planned to switch jobs and pledge allegiance to a few minutes ago—Miss Olicia.

After a moment of shock and daze, Franca regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. Why did she speak so loudly just now?

I finally got a meeting with my boss, but it started out like a nightmare. If it was an employer with a worse temper, I would probably be fired on the spot, and there would be no need to think about changing jobs.

However, Miss White Wolf happened to be a special boss. She was not used to being a superior in front of her own people, and she really couldn't show any official authority. Franka's complaints first made her realize her own mistakes.

I should have sent a message in advance, she thought. His sudden arrival really caught me off guard. It was all my fault that I was so slow-witted that I only thought about Kjerag and ignored other things.

"I'm sorry." She stepped back a little and said in a low voice with some uneasiness, "I think I disturbed you."

"No, it's okay. I, I was wrong too." Franca's face turned red, and Miss Wolper, who usually loved to play tricks on people, stuttered for the first time.

Miss White Wolf was slightly startled when she saw the other person blushing, and a faint smile suddenly blossomed on the corner of her lips. She said gently: "So that's how it is. Then you forgive me and I forgive you, how about that?"

With a gentle smile, Franka looked dazed and said stupidly, "Okay, okay."

Afterwards, when Franka recalled the moment again, she always felt that it was a bright smile that could easily make others fall in love with it.

Miss White Wolf closed the door and walked into the room. Razer, who was maintaining his weapon, had already noticed that it was his employer, so he immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Good afternoon, Miss Olicia."

Miss White Wolf said quickly, "Sit down, sit down. You made me nervous by standing up on purpose."

"Ms. Olicia, please sit here and rest first."

Miss Franka had returned to normal by now, and called out to Miss Olicia to come to the sofa. At this moment, she suddenly realized that the sofa was in a mess due to her lying on it just now, and the sofa cushions were piled up like a pagoda. Her face turned red again, and she hurriedly tidied them up.

Franca had never been so embarrassed in her life.

Miss White Wolf chuckled inwardly, realizing that she was like a homeroom teacher on a surprise inspection, scaring the students (specifically Franka) quite a bit, and she thought it was quite amusing in her naughty way.

Although she always had some bad thoughts suddenly, they were all to satisfy her inner little pleasures. She was not really bad-hearted. She immediately ran over to help tidy up the sofa, and then sat down with Miss Franka.

At this time, Razer had already brewed the coffee and brought it over. Miss White Wolf said thank you, put the coffee on the coffee table in front of her, and sniffed it gently.

"It smells good. Do you usually like to drink coffee?"

Razer moved a stool and sat down opposite the coffee table, and replied awkwardly: "Actually, I rarely drink it. I mainly take it out when I entertain guests."

Miss White Wolf thought of something and looked at the liquid in the cup happily: "The Yan people always use tea to entertain guests, Ursus uses vodka, Victoria uses champagne, and Colombia uses coffee."

Franka opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at the coffee in front of her again: "Hey, is there so much truth? We saw that all our colleagues at Heigang were like this..."

"Black Steel is a Colombian company, so of course there are more people who like coffee."

"So what do you like to drink, Miss Olicia?"

"Sweet red wine and juice."

Franca scratched the back of her head: "Then we were wrong."

"It doesn't matter." Miss White Wolf smiled, "I can be Colombian too."

As she spoke, she remembered the business she was going to discuss, and she became serious: "By the way, I came here this time to ask for your help on a very important task."

Miss Razer immediately entered a serious working state: "Please go ahead."

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to Kjerag to discuss a business cooperation. In addition to the aircraft pilot, I will need to bring two more assistants, so I thought of you. I wonder if you have time."

"You can arrange it, that's what we do."

"Well, thank you very much. Your mission this time is nominally security work, but in fact you don't need to worry too much about this issue. Because my trip is public and Kjerag is a neutral country, there is basically no possibility of security problems. I want to arrange something else for you."

"Please speak."

"I have some internal information about Kjerag, mainly about the mining area and the energy industry, but the information is quite old. When we get to Kjerag, I want you to investigate these two areas."

"Ms. Olicia, are you planning to cooperate with Shelag?" Franka asked, not noticing that Razer was winking at her. In their line of work, they were strict about not asking questions that shouldn't be asked.

"Yes." Miss White Wolf explained, "If the company wants to have long-term cooperation with Kjerag, it needs more intelligence. Kjerag has opened up its tourism business this year. You can use the identity of a tourist to get information. Just collect information that is publicly popular in Kjerag. Don't ask too much, otherwise you will be regarded as a commercial spy."

"Don't worry, we understand. Besides, we are quite familiar with Kjerag. We have been on missions there before. There will be no problem at all."

"Have you been to Kjerag?"

"Yes." Razer winked at Franka and then took over the conversation, "Two years ago, Black Steel International carried out a mission in Kjerag as a security agency, but due to the confidentiality agreement, I cannot disclose the details of the incident. Please forgive me."

Bai Lang had read all the files about Kjerag, and after hearing what the other party said, she immediately understood what was going on. The information provided by the Marquis was enough to make her the second only to the first person to know the truth.

It was a conflict between the three major families of Kjerag. While reading the files, she speculated that the underlying cause was the increasingly irreconcilable contradiction between capital development and traditional religion.

The Business Federation, which has been keeping a close eye on Kjerag, certainly would not give up the opportunity to intervene when the pressure inside Kjerag becomes increasingly high, and once again try to control the country.

The opportunity was too good this time, and the Chamber of Commerce seemed to be on the verge of success, but no one knew what happened later (Bai Lang guessed that the person in charge of Kalan Trade played a role in it), and the conflict among the three tribes suddenly ended overnight, and they once again became united against the outside world, and it was a thorough and closer unity against the outside world.

Kjerag's internal crisis ended strangely at its peak. No real conflict occurred, only the Business Federation played a clown-like role.

Moreover, after the incident two years ago, the development momentum of Kalan's trade suddenly became strong and almost tied to Kjerag's name, and the Chamber of Commerce became even more wary of this place.

Chapter 2023: Snow Mountain Horror Legend 03-13-12 00:02:

Out of respect for the two men’s professional ethics, Miss White Wolf did not discuss the conflict with Kjerag, but instead turned the conversation to other local situations.

Her chat can be called confirmatory, that is, based on the personal experiences of Razer and Franka, she confirms the information she has viewed about Kjerag.

For a long time, the territory of Kjerag could be divided into three major regions, each controlled by three major families: the Bruntao family in the west, the Perlochi family in the north, and the Shivaash family in the south.

The god believed in by the three major families and ordinary people of Kjerag is called Yelagund. The Manju Temple on the Holy Mountain is a special religious institution responsible for the worship and sacrifice of the gods. The saint is regarded as the spokesperson of Yelagund in the world.

After the incident two years ago, the situation in Kjerag has changed a lot. Data observed through business channels show that the three major families are connected with each other around the Holy Mountain, jointly fighting against the Casimir Business Federation and supporting all activities of Kalan Trade in Kjerag.

Two years ago, when Razer and Franka went to Kjerag, there were not many local train tracks and the signal system did not even exist. But according to the latest news that White Wolf knows, in the current Kjerag, the railway network has spread across the territories of the three major families, and internal communication base stations have also been built.

She had reason to conclude that Shelag was completing its industrialization construction at a very fast speed, and that the leader of the construction was Kalan Trade. During the entire construction process, Kalan Trade did not encounter any internal obstacles.

As the president of Kalan Trading, Enchiodis should be the person with the highest secular power in Shelagh.

The reason why it is called secular power is because of the existence of Manzhu Academy and the Holy Maiden of Snow Mountain. Although White Wolf obtained a lot of internal information of Kjerag with the help of the Marquis, the information about Manzhu Academy is always like a fog, and Manzhu Academy is definitely an existence that cannot be ignored in Kjerag's transformation.

In other words, Bai Lang speculated that there were actually two difficulties she had to face. One of them was Enthiotis. Based on the information currently available, she could be sure that she had a very high chance of reaching a mutually beneficial agreement with the other party.

The real trouble lies with Manzhuyuan and the mysterious and unknown saint. She cannot understand or grasp her. She only knows that the other party is very important, but she is not sure to what extent and to what extent the other party will interfere with Kalan's trade. Once there is a problem in this regard, it will become the biggest variable of her trip.

The worried Miss White Wolf continued to chat with the two while muttering about Manzhuyuan. Franka suddenly mentioned the legend of the holy mountain, saying in a serious tone that the Holy Mountain of Kalan would eat people, there were hairy humanoid monsters on the snowy mountains, and that getting lost in the wind and snow would lead to unexpected events.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Miss White Wolf is good at daydreaming and is used to analyzing the mysterious existence of Yelagund as an objective research object. After listening to the legend told by Franka, she couldn't help feeling a little scared when she thought about entering the other party's territory.

Perhaps because she discovered that Miss Olicia reacted more strongly to horror legends, Franka focused on talking about things in this area, and some strange rumors from other places were also mixed in.

The result of this was that when the three of them chatted until the evening and went their separate ways, Miss White Wolf had an early impression of the terms "Holy Mountain", "Holy Maiden", and "Yeragund" as being strange, mysterious, and frightening.

For a long time, she even suspected that Kjerag's traditional religious rituals contained horrific plots of cannibalism, for example, the truth behind the saint's inheritance was actually eating the previous generation.

Misunderstandings exist because of the unknown. Perhaps she will have to wait until she understands it herself before she can know what Kjerag's religion is all about.

……

In the staff dormitory.

After checking what he needed to bring, Razer looked at Franca who was packing her luggage for a while, and suddenly said, "Actually, according to the terms of the contract, we have crossed the line."
