Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

Bai Lang understood that this "master" must be referring to the Marquis of Uskan. In the Ursus Empire, it was natural for a viscount to obey the Marquis's orders, so he smiled and nodded:

"Of course, the Marquis's official duties are the most important. I am in the banquet hall. Feel free to contact me anytime."

The banquet went on as usual.

As for Miss White Wolf personally, she quite likes the current situation:

The dance performance in the banquet hall controlled the lighting effects, making the banquet hall darker overall. She could stand in a dim corner, observe the nobles in front of her, and secretly listen to useful information.

No one bothered her, no one noticed her, using darkness as a disguise, which was exactly what she liked to see most.

However, most of the time, she heard about the dirty things among the nobles, either involving property or sexual scandals, but sometimes, she could hear something interesting.

At this moment, two young nobles dressed in expensive gowns and talking in low voices attracted her attention.

"I heard that Lord Uskan is in this mansion. Do you think he will show up tonight?"

"Don't even think about it. The Marquis only meets with important people. It would be a loss of status if he came to our banquet."

"Aren't Viscount Wakabayashi and Viscount Kadar also attending the banquet?"

"That's only two. Two viscounts, plus half of the lesser lords, and half of the rich. It would be strange if the Marquis would show up."

"Look at what you said. What do you mean by a lowly lord?"

"Don't play dumb with me. How can the lordship you bought with money be compared with the real lordship?"

"Didn't you buy it with money, too?"

"I'm just speaking from the facts. No one recognizes nobles like us outside the city. We are one level lower than a proper lord, let alone a military lord. Have you heard that the Military Police Department has offended a military lord of unknown origin, and with just a word from him, the gendarmerie was directly transferred here. I've lived in this city for half my life, and I've only seen the gendarmerie do things twice."

"I've heard about it, but I don't know the details."

"I sent someone to check, and I do know a little bit."

"What's going on? Tell me quickly."

The first noble was about to speak, but suddenly he looked around subconsciously, and his eyes stopped on the white wolf: "Beautiful lady, do you need any help?"

I should keep some distance before eavesdropping, White Wolf thought.

But since she was discovered, she simply didn't bother to hide it, so she took the wine glass and walked over openly: "I know the director of the military police department. He is a nice person. How could he offend a noble?"

"He is indeed a good man." The second noble couldn't help but join in. "He is good at talking and sensible. He was fine when I met him last week. What a pity. I'm afraid he will be put in jail for a few days."

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as putting him in jail." The first noble said, "I sent my men to investigate. It seems the military police department made a mistake and allowed the noble to meet the criminals who were responsible for the murder a few days ago."

"Ah! Didn't they say that the criminals were in the slums and had all been caught?" The second nobleman was shocked.

Miss White Wolf, who was listening in, couldn't help but smile.

"Use your brain, please." The first noble said angrily, "You've made the young lady laugh. Don't you know how the military police department handles things?"

"I understand." The second noble scratched his head, "I just don't understand why that noble ran into the criminals."

“I don’t understand that either.”

"Didn't you investigate?"

"The Military Police are in charge of this matter. How can I dare to investigate it in a big way? If you are brave enough, go and ask the Military Police. If that doesn't work, just wait for the military court to open. Then everything will be clear."

"Forget it, forget it, I'll wait for the result. Well, I remember the murderer killed more than a dozen people, probably a lot of people. Can the noble come back alive if he encounters him?"

"What do you think?" The first noble said seriously, "He is a military lord, a ruthless person who kills people at any time. There is only one military lord among ten nobles."

Miss White Wolf frowned seriously and thought, "If it's a military lord, things will be troublesome. Maybe a few people will be executed."

"Miss, you are a wise person." The first noble agreed. "According to the imperial law, the mastermind of such a thing by the military police will most likely be sentenced to death. In my opinion, there will probably be several people hanging on the gallows as scapegoats."

"If we talk about the mastermind, it should be the director who got into trouble," said the second noble.

"Hey." The first noble said proudly, "You and I are not the only ones who know what kind of person the director is. The two viscounts in the city know it best. The Marquis happened to come to the city to do some work today. If the viscounts just talk a little, won't the problem be solved?"

"But what if," Miss White Wolf continued, "the noble who is against the military police is not satisfied?"

"Miss, you don't know this. That military lord wanted to go against the Military Police Department because he knew that the Military Police Department had money and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. So, all problems are about money. As long as the money is in place, the matter can be properly resolved even without the mediation of the Marquis. Moreover, the Military Police Department can push two more scapegoats to be hanged, so that the military lord can save face. In this way, the matter is settled."

"Will this really be the result?" White Wolf asked again.

"Definitely, eh, no, I'm a little uncertain." The noble said cheerfully, "The Military Police Department doesn't necessarily push its own people as scapegoats. They have to hand over dead bodies anyway, so it's better to just find two people from the slums."

"You know a lot." Miss White Wolf smiled and nodded, then left while asking the waiter for some drinks.

The two nobles stayed where they were and discussed quietly.

"Why haven't you seen such a beautiful noble lady before?"

"Maybe there's a new noble in town. What, do you have an idea?"

"You didn't?"

"My father is a viscount, and he has long since stopped me from having affairs with other girls. You are in good condition. Be smart and attend more banquets during this period to see if you can get her."

……

Miss White Wolf took a glass of champagne from the waiter's silver tray and sipped it while staying away from the crowd as much as possible. She planned to find a secluded and comfortable place to sort out her thoughts.

She found the light red screen in the corner of the hall. The dim light already blurred her vision, and the screen created an absolute shadow.

She could lean against the side of the screen, quietly taste champagne, think about things, and wait quietly for the summons from Marquis Uskan.

However, the shadows already had an occupant, a young lady with bright lipstick on her face, leaning against the wall beside the screen. She looked exhausted, and her slightly rapid breathing was drowned out by the noise in the banquet hall.

Next to the noble lady stood a pale-faced middle-aged nobleman, whose left hand was reaching into the noble lady's clothes from her waist and back...

Miss White Wolf pretended not to notice and escaped to the side with all her might. The Lupo people had excellent dark vision and sharp ears, but they should not be used in such strange places.

The rich circle really knows how to have fun, she thought, even in this kind of occasion. I remember Miss Qin Liu said that Victoria seemed to be more...

Hey!

She froze in place.

In the shadows not far away, there stood a lonely Vaifan girl, her delicate profile faintly visible in the darkness. Wasn't she Miss Qin Liu?

Chapter 2023 The Beginning and the End 08-15-12 00:03:

Isn't Miss Qin Liu in Victoria? Why is she here?

Before the white wolf had time to think about it, Miss Vaifan noticed that someone was looking at her nearby. She turned her head slightly and looked into the white wolf's eyes.

"Qin Liu?" Bai Lang asked subconsciously.

Miss Vaifan saw the person in front of her clearly. Her eyes widened because of the sudden surprise, and she almost blurted out words of joy. In the end, she became restrained and lonely because of the name.

"Miss Olicia, I'm not Qin Liu." Miss Vaifan looked at the white wolf and said gently. The joy in her heart turned into sadness silently, but she was not angry at all, just helpless.

Miss Bailang then realized that the person in front of her looked very similar to Qin Liu, but they were not the same.

Miss Qin Liu always smiles, with sunshine on her cheeks, while the other person's face is cold and stern, and the gentleness only comes from his eyes.

She recalled the other person's identity - Bella, from Victoria Seale Military Academy.

I have to say that Bella looks very similar to Miss Qin Liu. The biggest difference is the hair color. Miss Qin Liu has beautiful blonde hair, while Miss Bella's hair color is more flaxen.

If it were daytime, the two people could be easily distinguished, but in the dimly lit banquet hall, it would be easy to make a mistake if you were not careful.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." White Wolf quickly apologized, "Bella, the light was bad, I didn't see clearly just now. You're amazing. You recognized me right away after not seeing each other for such a long time."

Bella smiled, and her stern expression instantly melted away, making her look more like Miss Qin Liu.

"I'd be able to recognize you even after a few years." She stared at the white wolf without blinking, "Do you live in Uno City?"

White Wolf shook his head: "No, I came to Uno City temporarily to do something. But you, Bella, why are you in a place like this?"

"Me? Remember the test I told you about?"

"Well, I remember it was a very strict assessment."

"It's like this. Military academy assessments do not necessarily require commanding a real battle. It is an option. Most students take simulated command assessments. I just chose the most rigorous procedure for myself."

"Oh, does this have anything to do with your appearance in the noble banquet hall?"

"Of course."

Bella took a glass of champagne from a passing waiter, clinked glasses with Miss White Wolf, and continued, "After I came to Ursus, I did some research. If I want to take over the training project, I must find the military nobles here. There is only one noble who has been the most active in the Ursus Empire in recent years and has also commanded large-scale battles."

"You said it." Miss White Wolf asked blankly, "Could it be... Marquis Uskan?"

"That's right." Bella smiled. "A few years ago, Marquis Uskan commanded an operation to eliminate the rebellious organization Integration Movement. Although I couldn't be there in person, it must have been a wonderful military operation."

"More importantly." Bella lowered her voice, "Marquis Uskan is a rare nobleman with a strong sense of utilitarianism. He is eager to gain military merit. Riot organizations often appear in Ursus now. It's easy to get experience by following him."

"So you, you are his subordinate?"

"Not exactly a subordinate. I happened to have a letter of introduction from the dean of the academy, so the nobles of Ursus had to give me some respect. Plus, I did help him a lot, so we can consider it a partnership."

"So how long do you plan to cooperate with him?"

"It's better to train as long as possible. Marquis Uskan treats me well and never puts on airs of nobility. Whenever there is something, he will safely hand over the command to me. He will earn his military merits and I will do my assessment."

Bella vaguely realized that the information she gave in her answer seemed too frank and contained some things that were inconvenient to talk about.

It was that kind of faint and wonderful feeling that made her ignore these taboos and be unwilling to hold back on Miss Olicia.

Feelings are uncontrollable.

That day, she woke up from the drug-induced coma and was horrified to find herself facing an evil and lewd man. As a strong Vaifan woman, she realized for the first time her own weakness and despair.

When she was completely desperate, her savior suddenly appeared, ended her nightmare, gave her the only dagger for self-defense, and then left resolutely, intending to save everyone on the airship.

Miss Olicia gave her a dagger for self-defense, and at the same time, she used the dagger to carve her own shadow into her heart, which could never be erased.

White Wolf pondered Bella's words and asked again: "Bella, you must have eliminated a lot of bandits in the past year, right?"

"Well, the Ursus Empire is too chaotic, and there are too many bandits who commit crimes wantonly to deal with. However, the incidents I handle are all small-scale incidents, and the bandits are vulnerable in front of the well-commanded regular army. I still hope to have a real big scene for me to practice."

"What kind of big scene?"

"Like the one where Marquis Uskan went to war with the Reunion Movement."

"Well, that's true. Have you found that opportunity?"

The light was dim, and Bella did not notice the difference in White Wolf's expression. She seldom talked to people on weekdays, and never revealed her thoughts and ambitions, but in front of Miss Olicia, she was happy to share these things.

"Found it." Bella's eyes sparkled, and she said excitedly, "I've been keeping an eye on it for a long time, and finally found the opportunity, so I put aside the bandit suppression in the east and followed the Marquis to Uno City."

"Why, why?" Miss White Wolf became inexplicably nervous.

Bella did not answer directly, but asked: "Miss Olicia, do you suddenly have a feeling that fate is a wonderful thing?"

While speaking, she gazed deeply at the white wolf. She could never forget this face since they last parted.

Including now, it has happened twice. Every time at the critical moment that determines her life's destiny, she would meet Miss Olivia, as if it was destined.

"Yes, it's really...amazing." Miss White Wolf nodded with a complicated tone.

Bella smiled and explained to White Wolf:

"In the process of suppressing bandits, I accidentally heard a name. At first, I didn't pay attention to it because it was an organization that couldn't exist. However, the more I did, the more I heard, so I began to pay attention to collecting relevant information. I have been investigating secretly for a long time and finally discovered the secret."

Bella paused for a moment, and then said in a voice that only she and White Wolf could hear: "The Integration Movement has not collapsed. Their remnants still exist, and I guess they have acquired considerable strength."

"Miss Olicia, think about it. I joined Marquis Uskan after hearing about his exploits in wiping out the Reunion Movement. When I was looking for the end of my journey, I happened to find an opportunity to wipe out the Reunion Movement again. Isn't this fate?"

Chapter 2023: Falling into Darkness08-16-12 00:02:

Miss White Wolf could hardly describe her feelings.

If she knew that the reason Bella stayed in Ursus was largely because of her, I believe this complex emotion would be even stronger.

what can we do about it?

Should I continue to inquire about the information? Going further would involve sensitive issues. Will Bella tell me?

Well, I am also a military noble of Ursus. If I use some connections, the possibility that the other party will say something is still very high...

It’s better to try as much as possible.

After making up her mind, Miss White Wolf spoke while carefully observing Miss Vaifan's expression: "Bella, actually, I came here this time just to discuss business matters with Marquis Uskan."
