So many people died because of you. You became the hidden red moon and disaster star. Can you feel at ease? What's more terrifying is that you can't be sure how things will develop.

What if it fails?

What if the problem is not solved in the end?

Your plans and arrangements ultimately led to the unnecessary deaths of countless people. Will you still be able to convince yourself then?

Do you really want to understand the reasons behind everything around you?

Why did Tallulah believe in herself?

Why did the Marquis support him?

Why did Kal'tsit just stand by and watch after knowing the news?

Why do you feel more and more that many things in the Ursus Empire reveal an almost deliberate irrationality?

……

The people around were in a commotion, waking Miss White Wolf from her thoughts. She suddenly realized that everyone was in chaos. The people of Yelagund were rushing to the side of the tribute platform and taking the wooden cups filled with wine from the waiters of Manzhuyuan.

Only then did she realize that she had been distracted and the time had already come for using the fermented rice wine to express gratitude to the gods.

This is the most lively part of the festival. Looking around, there are people everywhere, holding cups, with some rough, some quiet smiling faces. Miss White Wolf follows the noisy people and strives to get to the front of the stage.

She was somewhat unaccustomed to such a messy occasion, and she was like a lonely boat in the crowd, dodging constantly to avoid knocking over the glasses of those who were raising their glasses. People's smiles flashed by one after another, making her feel dizzy and suffocated. In a trance, she saw Miss Liberi, whom she had met by chance before.

The other person stood at the waiter's position in Manzhuyuan, stretched out his hand, and handed her a wine glass with a smile. She suddenly felt like she was dreaming, as if the wine glass she grabbed was not real, but the wine glass was really in her hand.

She wanted to say thank you, but was pushed away by the crowd. In order to protect the cup, she stepped back and stood at a slightly higher position at the back, wanting to greet Miss Liberi.

However, she couldn't see the person she was looking for among the group of waiters, and she didn't know where he had gone.

She wanted to call the other person's name, but suddenly remembered that she didn't know it at all.

really weird.

We were talking for such a long time, why did you forget to ask my name?

Chapter 2023 Diplomatic Incident 06-22-12 00:02:

Magical wine, Miss White Wolf couldn't help but think.

It felt cool and there was no stimulation at all. In a trance, the glass was empty.

Why did I feel dazed? It was like a short dream after drinking it? My body felt light and comfortable. Could it be that it was the same as the nature of the holy bell, and was "blessed" by the gods?

It’s really good stuff.

Miss White Wolf lowered her head, stared at the empty cup for a while, and suddenly thought of something.

Jiao Feng said that according to the rules, the wine cannot be finished, because the next period of time is the "celebration time", and those who participate in the ceremony must constantly clink glasses with the people around them and exchange blessings with each other.

During this process, people would only take a small sip each time they clinked glasses with others to ensure that the cup was never empty. When the celebration was over and they blessed the gods together, they would drink the wine in the cup up.

And because the celebration was held under the watchful eyes of the gods, everyone present had equal status, and ordinary people could drink with the patriarchs of the three major families.

Previously, when Bai Lang had listened to Jiao Feng's introduction, he had thought about the practical significance of the celebration time. This process took up a considerable amount of time in the entire ceremony, and was probably set up to allow people from the three major families to fully communicate with each other.

Apart from the grand ceremony, there was indeed no other opportunity for the Kjerag people to completely put aside their grudges and communicate freely.

However, her cup was empty!

Miss White Wolf felt that she was quite innocent. It was not her fault. She just didn't know what happened and why the wine in the glass was finished.

How to do?

Jiao Feng's reminder echoed in his mind: ritual wine is not for enjoyment and indulgence, so each person can only take one glass and must not drink freely. The glass must always be filled with wine.

She nodded confidently at the time, thinking that with her alcohol tolerance, she could drink all day long with just a small sip each time.

But that's how it happened, out of control, it happened suddenly.

Seeing the time passing by, Miss White Wolf was getting anxious. She really didn't want to cause a diplomatic incident. In this situation, Enciodis would probably come over to clink glasses. If someone found out that her cup was empty...

In her anxiety, she suddenly noticed Chuxue standing beside the tribute table, watching people get wine with a smile, and nodding to people passing by from time to time.

At this point, I can only turn to the only person I know, Miss Hatsuyuki, for help.

So she half covered the cup with her hand, nimbly moved through the crowd, and came to Chuxue's side.

Miss Hatsuyuki was fulfilling her duties as a saint. When she suddenly saw the white wolf, her eyes lit up and she almost called out his name, but she restrained herself in time, coughed, and her expression became dignified: "Guest of Kjerag, may the gods bless you."

Seeing Chuxue posing as an unfamiliar, standard saint, Bailang realized that the other party was a real saint in such an important ceremony, and must act according to the saint's standards.

What she did was like when she was speeding and crashed into a streetlight at Penguin Logistics, and in a moment of panic, she foolishly called the Guard Bureau for help.

This is not asking for help, it's simply surrendering!

It’s better to hide.

Holding her cup, she tried to hide in a corner where no one could see her, so that the people from Kalan Trade could not find her.

But where can I hide? This is the Grand Ceremony Square. Am I going to fall and lie on the ground and use my 'camouflage uniform'?

No.

She thought sadly.

Everything is over. A diplomatic incident is about to occur. Jiao Feng only emphasized a few key points, but she can still mess things up.

She was a solitary traveler who had come to the holy mountain of Kjerag alone, pitiful and stupid, with no one who could help her, no one who would help her, and she was also a stranger who had made a mistake and was about to be publicly executed.

Despite the desolate and cold atmosphere, Miss White Wolf still bit her lips firmly and said the blessing sadly and aggrievedly: "May the gods bless the Saint Lady."

After saying that, she held her cup and prepared to step aside.

Chuxue originally wanted to tell the other party that your blessing was wrong. May God bless someone is used among believers, and there is another way to say it for the saint. However, she keenly realized that Miss Olisia was in a bad mood, so she automatically ignored this small mistake.

Why was Miss Olicia in such a bad mood? She noticed in time the cup that the other party wanted to hide, and if she was not mistaken, it was empty.

Seeing this scene, the first thought that came to her mind was: How did her brother arrange it? Why didn't he let someone explain it to Miss Olicia? It was just a little bit of information, and she would remember it after hearing it once. In the end, this happened. Wouldn't Miss Olicia be very embarrassed?

At the same time, she realized that since Miss Olicia came over in a covert way, she probably thought of the problem of the wine and wanted to seek help. So... the other party knew the rules, but accidentally drank all the wine?

Oh! Isn't this normal? Miss Olicia is from Ursus, how could she remember the rules of Kjerag all at once? There were too many complicated things in the ceremony. Miss Olicia got up early and hurried on her way. She also had to work hard to remember all these things. It was understandable that she accidentally forgot them.

Moreover, the other party must have considered complying with the subsequent procedures and making up for the problem in a timely manner when he came here now; the reason why the other party is sad is that he is sad about his own mistakes.

This is a true respect for Kjerag customs!

But why did Ms. Olicia want to walk away in disgrace? Eh, she really wanted to leave?!

"Please wait a moment." Hatsuyuki said in a low and anxious voice.

Miss White Wolf turned around and saw Chuxue pointing at her cup. She knew that the other party already knew everything, and her face suddenly turned red.

"Sir, there is a crack on your wine glass. It may be a transportation problem caused by the bumpy mountain road. Let me change it." As she said that, Chuxue took a step forward, took the cup from Bailang, and quickly replaced it with a glass of wine.

Bai Lang knew the so-called "crack" very well. After receiving the new drink, he was too guilty to look Chu Xue in the eye. He stared at her white chin and said, "Thank you, thank you, Saint Lady."

Chu Xue noticed the other person's embarrassment and could hardly hide her smile. Moreover, the way he lowered his eyes slightly and stared at her chin made her heart beat faster and she felt an unusual and strange feeling.

She simply couldn't understand why such a tiny change in parallax could make people feel so different...

But on the surface, she still showed a perfect and kind attitude: "You are so polite, sir."

The more Hatsuyuki acted like a "saint", the more scared Miss White Wolf became. After hurriedly thanking her again, she quickly hid away.

Chu Xue was left watching her disappear in the crowd silently. After a moment of pause, she continued her duties as a saint.

Chapter 2023 Aurora 06-22-12 30:02:

Miss White Wolf was on high alert, fearing that she might cause trouble again.

She now feels that the previous mistake was definitely due to being groggy from not sleeping last night. She is in a very good state now and that kind of situation will definitely not happen again.

Just in case, she even tried a drink to make sure there was enough alcohol left. But this time, she unexpectedly found that the taste of the alcohol was just average, not as relaxing as before.

She guessed that the previous feeling might be an illusion, perhaps related to the influence of the Holy Bell. She thought as she walked, not noticing that she had been "targeted".

……

Miss Aurora is a native of Shelag and also an Ursus girl. After graduating from high school, she went to Columbia to study with the support of the Shivaash family. Now she has returned home after completing her studies and is temporarily in charge of engineering tasks under Nosis.

At this moment, she was holding the wine glass excitedly, watching Miss White Wolf confirm again and again, and then quickly walked up to her.

The two exchanged grand greetings, clinked their glasses and took a sip of wine. Aurora could no longer hold back her excitement and asked nervously, "You, you are Miss Olicia, right?"

The White Wolf was trying to guess the intentions of the Ursus girl. The other party's purpose was very obvious. She was coming for him. Moreover, she could call out his name at once, which might be related to the Kalan trade.

She nodded: "Yes, I'm Olicia."

"My name is Lola, everyone calls me Aurora, I came to see you because I want to... um, please, please forgive me for coming here so suddenly."

Olicia's calmness was in stark contrast to Aurora's nervousness, which made the latter feel that he had lost control too much. His face turned red, and he hurriedly took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to White Wolf: "This is a letter from Senior Magellan."

Letter? Magellan?

Miss White Wolf took the letter and slowly opened it. After just a few glances, she determined from the content that it was written by Miss Magellan. The letter was sent when she and Mel arrived at Ice Stone but before the first tundra scientific expedition.

This is an invitation letter. Miss Magellan believes that Ice Stone's geographical location is extremely advantageous and is very suitable as a base for tundra scientific research, so she wrote to ask Aurora whether she would like to join her expedition team.

Some other things were mentioned later, which basically said that Miss Aurora's major, extreme environment engineering, was more suitable for use in northern Ursus. If she went there, whether for scientific research or staying near the ice and stone, she would be able to find a very good scientific research environment.

Miss White Wolf returned the letter to the other party and asked curiously: "Can I know about your relationship with Miss Magellan?"

"Of course." Miss Aurora spoke quickly due to nervousness. "I met Mr. Magellan when I was in school. At that time, he was working at Rhine Life Science. Since I majored in extreme environment engineering, I had the opportunity to be Mr. Magellan's assistant in one of his scientific expeditions."

Miss White Wolf nodded, finally understanding the key point, and smiled: "I understand."

When Aurora saw the other person's smile, his anxious heart finally relaxed a little, and he became extremely grateful. Miss Olicia was so kind to others. She really deserved to be a big figure in the academic world.

From her perspective, Ms. Olicia, who can organize top academic conferences and invite experts from various prestigious universities in Terra to participate, is truly a person standing at the highest level of academia.

Looking at Miss Aurora, whose eyes were full of expectation and nervousness, Bailang suddenly had the illusion that he was having an interview.

This is the scene of Kjerag's National Religious Day ceremony. Under the watchful eyes of the gods, conducting an interview with Icestone Technology is really... quite interesting.

But she was just thinking about it casually. This was not a real interview. Miss Aurora's main purpose was scientific research, which would not necessarily be too related to Ice Stone Technology.

What's more, Miss Zhe Lun has already written the letter. Even if it's just for the other party's face, she will agree to let Aurora go. Anyway, she is now a sponsor of the scientific expedition team, and there is not much difference between sponsoring two or three researchers.

She looked back at Miss Aurora who was still nervous, laughed secretly in her heart, and said gently: "Aurora. Well, Lola, Aurora, they are all very nice names. So, Miss Aurora, do you want to accept Magellan's invitation?"

Aurora never thought that Miss Olicia would talk to her like this. Her face became redder and her voice became smaller and smaller: "Yes, I, I think, please see if it's possible."

"Okay, I agree. But you still need to answer a few questions for me."

"Please, please ask."

"You said you knew Magellan at school. Did you go to college in Columbia?"

"Yes, she is at the Iron City Polytechnic University, the same school as Miss Farina in your institute. I really look forward to meeting her in the future."

Miss White Wolf's heart skipped a beat.

It's bad! When she published the co-authored paper, she used Farina's identity for convenience, but she didn't expect that it would cause such a thing.

If Miss Aurora goes there, won't she have to look for her "schoolmate"? And everyone in the institute knows who Farina is.

Forget it, forget it. Instead of being discovered passively, it is better to be proactive and settle this matter first.

Thinking of this, Miss White Wolf said directly: "If you want to meet Farina, don't expect it, because I am, ahem, you can think of it this way, Farina is my pen name, which I use specifically for publishing papers."

Miss Aurora's eyes widened, and then she looked at the White Wolf with an expression that was almost worshipful.

Miss White Wolf did not notice the change in the other person's expression, because she had to make up more background immediately to fill in the gaps in Farina's identity:

"The affiliation I used in my paper was Cast Iron City Polytechnic University, not because I graduated from there, but because I spent a few months in Cast Iron City and learned a lot, so I just used it."

This is absolutely true. She did stay in Iron City for a few months and learned a lot, but she learned mainly from Miss Platinum. The part that really connected her to Iron City Polytechnic University was:

When she had nothing to do, she went to the open library of the Polytechnic University of Castel Sant'Iron City and borrowed a few books. In her mission for Rhine Life, she used a fake identity as a graduate of the Polytechnic University of Castel Sant'Iron City.

And the reason she gave for filling in Iron City Polytechnic University as her personal information is reasonable to some extent.

In the Terra academic community, there is a type of people, such as Mr. Blood, Kal'tsit, Professor Herzog, etc. These people did not graduate from any university. If they have to fill in thesis information, they will often choose an institution that can help their research.

Because these names are so unique, they no longer need academic institution labels to assist in identification, so it doesn't matter how to fill them in. In this way, Miss White Wolf applied Mr. Blood's template on her own without knowing much about it.
