Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

"Where did you hear such a thing?"

"I seem to have read in a book that the ancestors of the Syracusans were raised by wolves. In ancient times, the Syracusans hunted with wolves."

"I don't know if the Syracusans were raised by wolves, but they hunted together, so it should be because of the taming of wolves. A friend of mine from Syracuse said that there were indeed many wolf tamers there, but that was a long time ago, and most of them have been lost now."

"Yes, I know about werewolf tamers. It is said that werewolf tamers have mastered some kind of mysterious witchcraft. Using this ability, they can communicate with wolves."

"Rather than Origin Stone skills or witchcraft, I think it is more likely that the tacit understanding over a long period of time is at work. After all, the intelligence level of living things is limited, and the conditioned reflex-based empirical communication process is more reliable."

"What if a creature has a very high level of intelligence? For example, the red dragon in Victorian legend."

"If such creatures really exist, then what you said is possible. Humans or red dragons can develop something to understand each other, and Originium technology can be designed as one of the feasible tools. However, that situation is difficult to apply to universal reality. As for the topic of Syracuse werewolf tamers, I stick to my opinion."

"So rigorous, Miss Olicia is indeed from a technology company."

"Ahem, let's just talk about the matter."

"Then can you infer from a scientific point of view what the wolf pack's communication is actually saying?"

"I'm not a researcher in this field, so I can't say that, but the logic of a wolf pack's actions shouldn't be too complicated. It's probably related to hunting, seeking help, fighting for territory, finding a mate, and so on."

Miss Qin Liu quickly extracted the things that interested her.

"Are you still looking for a spouse?"

"Yes, it is said that wolves use their calls to find mates."

"Then were those wolves howling to find their mates? A whole pack of wolves are howling. Could it be that..."

Miss Qin Liu suddenly widened her eyes and covered her mouth with her right hand. She seemed to have thought of something extraordinary.

"Definitely not." The knowledgeable Miss White Wolf instantly interrupted Qin Liu's thoughts, "Wolves' mating season is usually in late winter or early spring. It's autumn now, so it's still a long way off."

"Is the estrus period in late winter or early spring?"

Miss Qin Liu probably thought of something special, and she looked at the white wolf with a strange look, as if she was thinking about something.

"Yes." Miss White Wolf nodded confidently, and then added, "That's what the book says."

"So when the time comes, how do the wolves in the pack decide on their mates? For example, what if two wolves fall for the same wolf?"

“This is a strange question, because there is a hierarchy in the wolf pack, and only the wolf king has the right to choose.

"What if a wolf falls in love with the wolf that the wolf king wants to choose?"

"It can challenge the Wolf King, but it will be very difficult."

"So we still have to rely on a duel?"

"Uh, how did it get to the duel?"

"Very similar. In ancient times, Victorian knights would challenge to duel for their loved ones."

"In fact, the difference is huge. It is impossible for a lower-level wolf to challenge the alpha wolf just because he likes a certain wolf."

“We can fantasize about it.”

"There is no such fantasy among the wolf pack where the strong prey on the weak."

"Ms. White Wolf, you are just too serious. You are a very serious wolf."

"Eh~~huh? Uh, um...don't call me the beast parent. It feels weird when talking about this kind of topic."

"Is it weird?"

"It's very strange and a bit confusing, but wolves are wolves and humans are humans. Wolves and humans are different. If humans encounter a hungry wolf pack, they will be eaten directly by the wolves."

"understood."

"What's wrong with you tonight? You keep asking questions like this."

"It feels amazing. These are all knowledge I don't understand."

"Actually, knowing this is useless. I only found out about it when I had nothing else to do."

"I don't think it's useless. I'm quite inspired by it."

"Hey, what's the inspiration?"

"The inspiration is..." Miss Qin Liu blushed, and said hesitantly in an extremely unnatural voice, "Wolf pack...match...I...bah, the law of the jungle, the strict hierarchy of the organization, yes, it is the law of the jungle, very inspiring."

"It has always been like that. Wolves are distributed everywhere, which shows that their organization system is quite sophisticated."

……

It was late at night, and Miss White Wolf gradually lost interest in talking. Qin Liu noticed this and asked her to rest in the tent. Perhaps because the daytime activities had consumed too much energy and strength, Miss White Wolf fell asleep almost instantly after lying in the tent.

Miss Qin Liu continued to keep vigil.

The howling of wolves in the distance still rang out from time to time. She listened to the call of the wilderness, looked at the sleeping Miss White Wolf, and thought of all kinds of strange things in her head.

She had more or less accepted her situation.

At her age, with plenty of energy, it is impossible not to think about some things. The real trouble is that her ability to associate seems to be too rich.

She is a guardian knight, how can she have such evil thoughts in her mind?

Oh~it’s such a headache.

Chapter 2024 Swamp 03-02-12 00:04:

Although they could hear the howling of wolves from time to time at night, there was no problem with safety, and the two spent a peaceful night by the lake.

The next morning.

They gathered a large number of berries by the lake as a snack for the journey, and then set off on their journey along the river bank.

This is part of the plan. The river in front of them has a long north-south flow. As long as they are within the river range, they can easily go upstream without worrying about water and supply issues.

Unfortunately, such a journey can only last for two days at most. When approaching the middle of the no-man's land, the river will change its course laterally due to the height difference of the mountains and terrain, and it will no longer be realistic to continue along the river.

The weather is very good today. There are few clouds in the clear sky, the chirping of autumn cicadas is endless, and the heat brought by the sun seems to bring people back to summer.

Miss White Wolf's physical condition is better than yesterday. Although her calves are still sore, she can walk more smoothly. I don't know if it's because she has forced herself to adapt.

At noon, they saw the wolf pack they had talked about before by the river.

The gray wolves gathered by the river bank to drink water. When two pedestrians passed by, they became highly alert, with more than a dozen pairs of eyes fixed on the rare creatures walking upright not far away.

They had no intention of attacking, they just took a defensive stance and stared intently. When the pedestrians moved, their sight followed them. When the pedestrians were far enough away, the leading wolf king relaxed, shook his head, and leaned over to drink water again.

The wolf king's action was like a command. The wolf pack members all let down their guard at the same time. Some lowered their heads to drink water, while others lay down in the bushes.

"These wolves are quite well behaved." Miss Qin Liu commented, looking back frequently.

"It should be because of the good natural conditions and no shortage of food." Miss White Wolf said, "I have encountered wolves in the mountains before. They were hungry wolves that tried every means to eat me."

"and then?"

"So I did it. If they didn't eat me, I would starve to death, but I didn't want them to eat me, so they died before they starved to death."

"That sounds cruel."

"This is the law of the jungle, and it's what wolves are most used to. Before eating others, they must be prepared to be eaten. They can be said to have died a worthy death."

“After being told this by the Lupo tribe, it felt very convincing and realistic.”

"That's how it is. All Syracuse families follow this system. A family is a wolf pack. There is a strict hierarchy within the family, and the strong prey on the weak among the family members."

"Is this the reason why many of you Lupo people are so serious and seem cool to outsiders?"

"I think this is probably a stereotype, a stereotype brought by the Syracusans. When people talk about the Luperts, they first think of the serious Syracusans, but the Syracusans cannot fully represent the Luperts."

"That's right. You give me a completely different feeling than the Syracusans."

"How do I make you feel?"

“It’s hard to describe.”

“Anyone cool?”

“Sometimes I do think you’re cool.”

Miss White Wolf immediately smiled. She liked others saying this. In her self-fantasy, she was a cool bounty hunter holding a sword.

However, Miss Qin Liu did not finish her words: "But that is only on the surface. If you think about it carefully, you will find that it is not the case. The more you think about it, the weirder it feels. My heart becomes soft, as if I have fallen into a foggy swamp with no end in sight."

"What an abstract description. I don't understand why it's a swamp or something so scary."

“Because once you get stuck in there you can’t get out.”

"I don't understand. Have you read too many novels?"

"Maybe. I've always been good at chivalric novels."

……

The whole day was spent in a relatively relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

at dusk.

Miss Qin Liu chose a place to camp and started to build a tent. Miss Bailang took her weapon and went hunting in the nearby jungle. She was lucky and successfully caught a stupid gray rabbit.

When she returned to the camp with the rabbit, she unexpectedly saw Miss Qin Liu's cruel side.

"Do you really want to eat it?" Miss Qin Liu asked sadly, "It looks so cute."

Miss White Wolf said with the cool expression of the Luper tribe: "But it's a rabbit. Even if we don't eat it, there will be wolves to eat it."

"Look at its tearful eyes. It will be sad if you eat it."

"But if we don't eat it, what will we eat?"

"Continue to catch fish in the river?"

"There's no lake nearby. There are only some small fish in the river. Besides, won't the fish be sad if you eat them?"

"I don't think... no."

"Why?"

"Fish seem to have no brains and are born to be eaten by humans."

"You are not a fish, how do you know that fish don't have brains?"

"It's just a feeling. It's an intuition."

Miss White Wolf said seriously: "This is a very unfair intuition. If I were a fish, I would feel terrible."

Miss Qin Liu nodded in approval: "That's true, but you are not a fish, you can't really be sad for a fish."

"You are not a rabbit either, so you don't really worry about the fate of rabbits."

"Not necessarily. You are not me. How do you know that I won't worry about the fate of the rabbit?"

"Wait a moment. I judge that we are getting into an endless dialectical problem of subjectivity. You must be hungry too. How about we talk over dinner?"

"Ok."

……

Half an hour later.

Miss Qin Liu ate the roasted rabbit leg with great satisfaction and never mentioned the rabbit again.

Miss White Wolf was somewhat pleased with herself. With her actions, she made Miss Qin Liu's arguments fall apart. She proved that the other party did not really care about the fate of the rabbit.

She pretended to ask casually: "Hey, Qin Liu, is there something we haven't finished discussing before?"

Miss Qin Liu had no intention of shirking her responsibility. She nodded with a smile and said, "Remember, remember. I admit that what you said makes more sense."

Miss White Wolf wagged her tail happily, pleased with her victory.

Miss Qin Liu just laughed in her heart.

Does she really care about that stuff?

The more she interacted with Miss White Wolf, the more she liked chatting with her. Even a little stumble could make the boring life countless times more interesting. From the beginning to the end, she was trying to find ways to talk more with Miss White Wolf.

When she noticed from the corner of her eye that Miss White Wolf was wagging her tail proudly, the unspeakable joy in her heart was so full that it was about to overflow.

Miss White Wolf is her swamp. The closer she gets to it, the more she cannot extricate herself. Even struggling becomes impossible. She can't help but wonder, what kind of future will the Guardian Knight have in the irreversible fall?
