"Ms. Qin Liu is already waiting in the conference room. Next is the time to negotiate the employment mission. We need to determine the commission and the subsequent action plan. Rhodes Island will not be involved. You two need to discuss it on your own."
"Well, I'm ready."
"Come on, I'll take you to the meeting room."
Chapter 2024 Guardian Knight 02-18-12 00:02:
Based on the principle that Rhodes Island would not interfere with the operation, the doctor led White Wolf to the door of the conference room and went straight back to the Medical Research Institute.
Miss Bailang hesitated at the door for a moment, thinking about how to explain the situation to Qin Liu, and then pushed open the door of the conference room.
Qin Liu was sitting on the sofa waiting anxiously. When he heard the door open, he immediately raised his head and saw Miss Bailang pushing the door open.
It was obvious that the latter looked much more haggard than the last time they met, and had a kind of weak aura that was unique to someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.
Even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't avoid feeling heartache and regret.
She was an incompetent guardian knight. When the other party was struggling on the line between life and death, she was living a comfortable and peaceful life in another place. When the other party was about to survive and face another crisis, she was still unsure of what to do.
Fortunately, she finally made a decision.
She knew that she had lost a lot of things in this decision, but this was a decision she would never regret.
"Ms. Olicia, how are you? Let me help you."
Qin Liu walked over and wanted to help Miss Bailang sit down on the conference sofa, but the latter hurriedly shook her head.
"No, no, I can walk normally."
Seeing that Miss Bailang insisted on doing this, Qin Liu stared at her, and after confirming that Bailang's body could indeed move normally, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The two sat down on the sofas on both sides of the conference table and assumed an employment 'negotiation' posture according to the rules.
Miss Qin Liu was so worried that she had a sad face. "I heard about your condition from the doctor. You are very ill..."
"What's important is now." Miss White Wolf smiled, "Look, I'm fine now, right?"
"It looks much better."
"That's fine. On the contrary, you, Qin Liu, I didn't expect you to be on the Rhodes Island ship."
"I came here in May, not long after you left Londinium. I have never been back since I arrived at this ship."
"How do you feel about this ship?"
"The accommodation is better than in Victoria, the food in the restaurant is better, and everyone is very friendly..."
"Did you make any friends?"
"I've made quite a few friends. The ones I have the best relationships with are the perfumer in the medical department and Su Su Luo. There's also an old acquaintance of mine in Victoria."
Miss White Wolf casually chatted with Qin Liu about the Rhodes Island main ship. When she noticed that the other party's mood had completely recovered and was no longer obsessed with her illness, she naturally changed the subject.
"Qin Liu, I have a question. If you go with me to Casimir, I may not be able to help with Victoria's matter..."
"Of course I know, but the fact that I'm sitting here now means I've thought about it and made a decision."
Miss White Wolf said embarrassedly: "I, I'm just afraid that you will regret it."
"Ms. Olicia." Qin Liu smiled and asked, "Do you think I won't regret it if I choose Victoria?"
"But, maybe."
"No, it's not like that. I will regret it my whole life. Even if you don't know it, I will always remember that it was me who abandoned you. I am your guardian knight. I clearly said that I would be by your side when you need me. How could I break my promise?"
"I thought, that, was..."
"joke?"

"Ah."
Miss Qin Liu said seriously: "The Knight's Oath is no joke."
"Well, Miss Knight, are you sure?"
"Confirmed. I trust Rhodes Island and Ms. Outcast. I believe they will properly handle Victoria's issue. I will focus on protecting you through the No Man's Land and all the way to the Territory of Grand Knight Casimir."
Miss Bailang looked into Qin Liu's eyes. She knew, of course, that this decision was not an easy one to make. If Miss Qin Liu chose her, she would have to give up more things.
She knew this, but she didn't intend to persuade the other party anymore, as that would only add more scars to the heart that was on the verge of dilemma.
People always have to make choices, and there is no perfect way to have the best of both worlds.
"Qin Liu, my knight lady." Miss White Wolf said gently with a smile in her eyes, "I will remember your decision and will compensate you in the future."
"How to compensate?" Miss Qin Liu asked immediately.
"Ahem, according to the script, shouldn't Miss Knight be modest and say she doesn't need compensation?"
"According to the script, the Lord will explain that compensation must be given. No matter how much we argue, the result will be the same. We might as well skip it and talk about compensation directly."
Miss Qin Liu's logic was completely correct, so Miss Bailang was stumped.
"How about... double the commission?"
"Not this type."
The Knight lady's hint of something made White Wolf tense instantly. She pretended to be calm and explained seriously, "We are now in a formal employment relationship. Rhodes Island has provided a meeting room, so we must discuss this."
"Must?"
"must!"
"Ok."
Miss Qin Liu nodded somewhat disappointedly.
Miss White Wolf breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest gently, then was stared at by Qin Liu again.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"I'm afraid you'll ask for too much."
"You are a rich man, an Ursus noble, and the leader of Icestone Technology."
"Actually, the situation is very complicated. I am also a... worker. Well, I do have some spare money. You name your price!"
"Let me make the offer?"
"correct."
Now it was Miss Qin Liu's turn to be troubled. Asking Bai Lang for money was strange no matter how she thought about it. Before entering the meeting room, although she knew that the hiring fee was a must-discuss item, she subconsciously ignored this point.
The last mission was to help Miss White Wolf recruit people. The risk factor was extremely low, but the time period was relatively long. In the end, I was rewarded with several thousand Longmen coins.
This mission not only involves harsh conditions, but also involves life-and-death dangers, and it also involves confidential matters that cannot be disclosed. It would not be excessive to increase the difficulty by dozens of times.
All in all, it would be about 100,000 Longmen coins.
Hiss, he asked for 100,000 Dragon Gate coins right away? And he asked Miss Olicia?
No, no, that number sounded too scary. She had been in the Rhode Island office for several years and had never received such a large commission.
I'll give you a small discount, but how much is better?
Miss Qin Liu was in trouble again. When Miss Bailang's eyes swept over her again, she chose to kick the ball back: "I'm not familiar with these things. Miss Olicia, just give it to me as you think fit."
Bai Lang's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the situation was not good. Miss Qin Liu had left Victoria for her, so how much of this "give as you see fit" would be enough?
Chapter 2024 Knight Killer 02-19-12 00:02:
What is certain is that Qin Liu did not intend to make things difficult for Miss Bailang, but her words did make the latter feel troubled, and she racked her brains to figure out what to do.
With Miss Qin Liu's personality, she should have helped Miss Bai Lang out of trouble at this time. However, she was attracted by the other party's dilemma and tangled expression. The more she looked at it, the cuter she found it. She was so obsessed with it that she forgot what she should do.
She looked at Miss White Wolf and found that she slowly raised her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, and suddenly stole a glance at her, probably to observe her expression and then make a decision on her course of action.
Now things became even more subtle. Since Qin Liu's eyes were always on Miss Bailang, when the latter peeked, their eyes met.
Miss White Wolf was caught peeping and her face quickly turned red. She looked so shy that she felt ashamed.
Miss Qin Liu felt that she had to do something. It was definitely wrong to embarrass the person she loved, so she tried to smooth things over, saying, "Isn't it clear about the commission, Miss Olicia?"
Miss White Wolf's face was still red. She coughed and began to speak in the most serious tone, as if she was going to use her serious attitude to dispel the embarrassment just now: "Yes, it's very difficult to be sure."
"Then forget it." Miss Qin Liu said without hesitation.
"Eh? You, uh, definitely can't do it without it."
"Why doesn't it work?"
"For a job, it's only natural for the employer to give a commission!"
"If that's the case, isn't it natural for a guardian knight to protect his loved one?"
"This, that, you..."
Miss White Wolf's face turned red again. Although it was not the first time she heard it, she still felt that the words of the guardian knight and her sweetheart were too shameful.
Miss Qin Liu took out a contract and waved it in front of Miss Bai Lang: "This is a blank contract. It was originally supposed to contain the terms of our agreement, but I don't think it's necessary at all."
She folded the blank contract paper and threw it into the trash can. Then, under Miss White Wolf's nervous gaze, she walked up to the other party, half-knelt down with the elegant posture of a knight, took the latter's hand, and kissed the back of her delicate white hand.
"Dear Lord, we don't need a contract. It is enough for me to be your guardian knight."
Miss White Wolf blushed and hastily pulled her hand away: "You've overacted, overacted, so disgusting, Qin Liu, if you continue like this, I won't play the knight game with you."
Miss Qin Liu covered her mouth and chuckled, and returned to her seat at the same time: "Okay, I will never do this next time. Miss Olicia, please don't look down on me. You are the only one willing to play the knight game with me."
"Casimiere has no shortage of knights. You can play knight games there as you please."
"No, Qin Liu Knight has standards. I will only play the Knight game with Miss Olicia."
"You'll get bored if you're alone."
"Then change it. It's acceptable to play with Miss White Wolf."
"It's the same thing, you Victorians are so glib."
"Don't blame me."
"If I don't blame you, how can I blame me?"
"You really have to blame."
"Eh~"
"Victorians only become like this when they are pursuing someone they like."
"I……"
"You're having a headache, you're thinking, what can I do, there's no way to explain it after meeting Miss So-and-so."
"..."
"Don't worry, Qin Liu is a guardian knight. He will only share the worries of the lady of the lord and will never give you a headache."
Miss White Wolf said in a frustrated tone, "Qin Liu, I still think you are too weird. I simply cannot understand you."
"Then don't try to understand it. Okay, I'll just assume that we have already signed the employment contract. Ms. Olicia, the next step is to think about how to act. I studied the topographic map of the No Man's Land last night and marked important locations. Take a look."
Miss Qin Liu spread out a map on the conference table and explained to Miss Bai Lang: "At noon, our ship will send a small aircraft to take us to the edge of the no-man's land, which is roughly here. We can choose to enter the mountainous area, or choose to spend the night nearby in the safe outer area."
“Go straight into the mountains and save as much time as possible.”
"I guessed you would do this. If we continue to travel in the afternoon, we can cross the first mountain range outside and settle down on the back of the mountain. We can build a simple camping site with a tent."
"How much food and water did you bring?"
“It’s tentatively a two-day supply, do you need to take some more?
"That's enough. The No Man's Land is full of mountains and forests. It's autumn now, so we can get food resources directly from the forest. I estimated before that if we take the shortest route, it will only take about seven days to cross the entire No Man's Land."
"The shortest route does save time, but bounty hunters and smugglers must have the same idea." Ms. Qin Liu drew a straight line on the map with her fingertips. "To be precise, this route takes the shortest time if there are no accidents, but if there are offenses, it's another matter."
"Your thoughts?"
"I have planned all the routes. You can choose any one. I will listen to you."
"I want to take the shortest route. Although the civil war in Ursus will drag on for a long time, it's better to get to Casimir as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's take the shortest route. Miss Olicia, can I know why you want to go to Casimir? What does this have to do with the civil war in Ursus?"
Miss Bailang said nothing, but looked up into Miss Qinliu's eyes.
