There is a very strange feeling.
As she approached the leather pocket, her fingertips began to feel hot, and she felt like she was approaching something flowing, a strange existence that could not be seen with the naked eye, flowing through her fingertips.
She stared at the leather pocket vigilantly for a while, then carefully stretched out her right hand, and the same thing happened again, but with some differences compared to before. She felt the flowing feeling from a slightly farther distance.
At the same time, she naturally had an idea that as long as she concentrated, she could experience the flow at a greater distance. This idea was like some kind of a priori knowledge engraved in her mind, which did not need to be verified at all. When she realized it, it existed as a definite rule.
A huge question came to her mind.
What's in the black pocket?
Whenever she encountered such things, Miss White Wolf tended to satisfy her curiosity as soon as possible, but that strange feeling made her feel uneasy and even a little scared, worried that she would encounter something bad.
So, after careful consideration, she stepped back a few steps, hid behind a tree trunk, stretched out a hand, and used her sword to pick up the leather bag from a distance.
The sharp sword blade cut through the edge of the pocket. At the moment of cutting, the strange feeling of flow suddenly became more than twice as strong. The sudden abnormality frightened Miss White Wolf. She reflexively let go of the sword and hid behind the tree, hugging her head.
a long time.
Nothing unusual happened, the strange feeling of flow seemed to weaken, or as if she had adapted to it.
Miss White Wolf slowly poked her head out from behind the tree trunk. Her excitement and curiosity were similar to that of a researcher observing a new element. Her field of vision expanded little by little as her body moved, and she finally saw the true appearance of the mysterious substance.
What emerged from the cracks in the leather bag were red or black crystals - the calamity stones.
In a flash, Miss White Wolf lost most of her interest, and felt like she had come with high hopes but left disappointed. She was not unfamiliar with the Calamity Rough Stone. High-purity Calamity Rough Stone could also be called the Purest Origin Stone. Although it was extremely precious, it was nothing special for her as the CEO of an energy company.
But why did she have an abnormal reaction?
She remembered the doctor's previous warning that her physical condition still needed to be observed, and rash contact with high-purity Originium substances might lead to unpredictable consequences...
Could the current abnormality be the consequence?
However, if you experience it carefully, you will find that this feeling is not completely unfamiliar. It is very similar to the feeling of source energy flowing in the body. The difference is that this flow is external and has a vague and elusive taste. The source energy of the past flows in her blood and is a real thing.
If there really is something in common between the two, could she try to use...
Originium skills?
The moment she had this thought, she suddenly felt dizzy and her brain was attacked madly. She fell to the ground and leaned against the tree trunk, gasping for breath.
Hu Chi.
Hu Chi.
The intense feeling of dizziness aroused the most hidden fear in her heart. When her mineralopathy broke out, wasn't dizziness the most intuitive reaction?
What the doctor said was right. I can't touch this kind of thing casually. I finally cured my mineral disease. What if I mess around and cause it to relapse? Well, the doctor seemed to say that it was impossible for me to be infected with mineral disease again. It would not be a good thing if it caused other strange complications.
In short, the farther away from the Pure Originium, the better.
The dizziness gradually faded away, but the mental fatigue did not dissipate. I don’t know if it was because of the mental fatigue, the sense of flow became extremely weak, almost imperceptible.
She patted her chest with lingering fear and was about to get up and leave when she saw Miss Qin Liu walking towards her with a small bag.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Qin Liu asked with concern.
"It's okay. I just want to sit down and take a break."
"Food and water are ready. We can set off at any time."
"Well, Qin Liu, do you feel anything special when you stand there?"
"No special feeling, no."
"Look at that."
"A bag of natural disaster stones?"
"Don't you feel anything special when you hold it?"
"no, what happened?"
"nothing."
"The Calamity Stone is very valuable, do you want to take it with you?
"No, we don't need money, and this thing is too dangerous to carry."
"That's right, let's go."
"Well, let's go."
Miss Knight pulled Miss Lord up, and the two of them set out on the final journey to leave the lawless zone.
Chapter 2024 Leaving the No-Man's-Land 03-31-12 00:03:
Perhaps because they were getting farther and farther away from the disaster area, they encountered significantly fewer brutal bounty hunters.
To be precise, the closer to the edge of the lawless zone, the more peaceful the bounty hunters become with each other. They are basically busy with their own things and have little intention of snatching resources. Some of them will even carefully avoid White Wolf and Qin Liu when they see them passing by.
This is an ecological niche that exists implicitly in the bounty hunter community.
High-level bounty hunters enter the most dangerous areas, carry out the most brutal missions, and receive the richest rewards. However, novices and war avoiders among bounty hunters gather in relatively safe mission areas to do low-risk and low-reward jobs.
Theoretically, every bounty hunter who meets the requirements will gradually transition from the novice mission stage to the expert stage. However, Miss White Wolf is different. She was led by her teammate Miss Platinum to skip the transition period and took on the most difficult missions from the beginning.
The sun sets in the west.
Following the markings on the map, they came to a small pass on the edge of the lawless zone, where a Casimir border defense force was stationed.
Although the nominal mission of the Border Guard is border defense, in reality they are following the orders of the Chamber of Commerce and managing bounty hunters and smugglers in lawless areas. All gray transactions must be "registered" with the Border Guard and a "deposit" must be paid before they are considered "legal."
In this way, the Chamber of Commerce not only guaranteed the commission income but also controlled the number of sensitive materials. Gray traders could also put the remaining money into their pockets with peace of mind, thus achieving a happy ending for everyone.
Miss White Wolf had already learned the secret to passing the level from the Gray Fang Mercenaries. She and Qin Liu mingled with the bounty hunter team, pretending to be hunters who had just returned from a mission, and easily passed this level.
About two kilometers north of the garrison checkpoint, there is a small town. Since more than half of the townspeople are bounty hunters, it is nicknamed the Gold Rush Town. Over time, this unofficial name has been used by people.
evening.
The two exhausted men finally arrived at the gold rush town.
After living in the wilderness for a long time and suddenly returning to the civilized world, what they most want is to have a good meal and then sleep until dawn on a soft bed.
It's a pity that nothing can be done too hastily. After traveling non-stop all day, the two of them are now as sloppy as they can be. Before resting, they must first tidy themselves up to look like normal people.
They bought new clothes in the town, booked a hotel, and changed out of the worn-out clothes they had used in the jungle. After completing all the necessary preparations, they went out together and had dinner at a small open-air restaurant in the town.
Casimir's restaurant, of course, sells Casimir-style cuisine.
Driven by curiosity, Miss White Wolf and her friends ordered the pan-fried cabbage that they were most interested in. This is a traditional specialty of Casimir. The recipe is to wrap some minced pack animal meat, rice, onions, and mushrooms in cabbage leaves, steam them, and then fry them in oil.
The Casimir people eat it by stewing it in big mouthfuls. With one mouthful, the aroma of meat, vegetables, onions and mushrooms mix evenly and enter the throat at the same time.
But Miss White Wolf was different. She liked to chew slowly and savor everything she ate. So she used a fork to make a hole in the pan-fried cabbage, then picked out the mushrooms and meat inside and ate them, leaving the onions and the most soulful cabbage leaves aside with disdain.
Miss Qin Liu noticed while eating that every time the waiter saw Bai Lang eating, his eyelids would twitch up and down, and he looked like he wanted to come over and educate and correct him, but out of politeness he didn't dare to say anything directly.
After the meal, Miss White Wolf followed the local custom and ordered some beetroot wine. Of course, she didn't really want to drink the wine, but just did it for fun. After all, the Casimir people were the only ones in the world who used beetroot to make wine.
After eating and drinking, the two returned to the inn. Miss Bailang was very sleepy at this time, but she still insisted on changing the medicine on Qin Liu's body. Then she tilted her head, lay on the bed and fell asleep.
Miss Qin Liu helplessly picked up Bai Lang and let him lie on the bed in a more comfortable position. She picked up the newspaper on the corner of the table and wanted to study the information about Casimir.
But after just a few minutes of looking, her eyelids began to twitch.
Throughout the entire journey in the no-man's land, she was always on guard against danger. Now that she was finally in a safe place and her mind was relaxed, her physical fatigue could not be concealed at all.
How about taking a rest first and then getting up to watch it later?
She thought about it and went to bed, but she couldn't get up as soon as she lay down. The soft bed mixed with the scent of Miss White Wolf sucked her body.
In a daze, she leaned towards Miss White Wolf. In fact, she didn't want to sleep. She wanted to stay with Miss White Wolf for a while longer. However, the irresistible sleepiness easily pulled her into a deep dream.
The next day, the two left the town early and went to the nearby city of Nek.
Nek City is a resource city in southern Casimir. Its northern part is adjacent to the vast and fertile Casimir Plain. A large amount of materials are transported northwards to the entire territory of Casimir via railway channels, starting from Nek City.
Miss White Wolf soon learned that there was no civilian floating port in the city. If she wanted to go to the Great Knight's Territory, she could only rely on rail transportation. That morning, she and Qin Liu hurried to the local station.
At the ticket office at the station, they learned some very bad news. As the Knights' Championship was about to be held, the tickets to the Grand Knights' Hall had been sold out half a month ago.
"Is there no other way?"
Miss White Wolf asked unwillingly.
"You can also choose to take private transportation." Seeing that there was no one around, the Kuranta ticket seller whispered, "Many taxi companies will be operating long-distance business during this period. To be honest, I just happen to have a discount coupon here..."
Miss White Wolf took the coupon and asked: "How is the speed of the taxi company?"
"It will be slower. As you know, there are many mountain roads to the north after crossing the plain."
"But we're in a hurry." Miss White Wolf said the reason she had made up earlier. "My companion wants to participate in this tournament. Can the taxi catch up?"
"If that's the case." The ticket seller pointed outside. "In the park to the south, there are selection specialists from the Business Federation. You can try your luck there. If you are selected as an outstanding contestant, a flying vehicle will take you directly to the Great Knight Territory."
Miss White Wolf's eyes lit up: "Thank you, we'll go check it out right away, or take a taxi if that doesn't work."
Chapter 2024 Agent 04-01-12 00:03:
There were many more people participating in the auditions than expected. When Bailang and Qinliu arrived at the park, they found that there was already a long queue, and people kept coming from all directions to join the queue.
Such a grand occasion made the two of them nervous. They just wanted to take advantage of the audition to get a ride, but never planned to compete with so many people.
Do you want to queue?
Miss Qin Liu looked at Bai Lang inquiringly.
The latter looked painfully at the long queue that made three turns, then lowered his head to think about how much time would be wasted on the long-distance taxi, and finally nodded with reluctance.
"Let's line up first."
“There are so many people, it feels hard to be selected.”
"It's okay. I have confidence in you."
"What about you?"
"My status is special, so I won't participate."
"Right."
Miss Qin Liu nodded in agreement, and a strange scene emerged in her mind:
Miss White Wolf participated in the knight competition and won a good ranking. Miss White Wolf was welcomed by people. Miss White Wolf's identity was exposed. Miss White Wolf was an Ursus noble. As a result, the mentality of the Casimir people collapsed.
"Qin Liu, Qin Liu, move forward."
Miss Bailang poked Miss Qinliu, who was in a daze with a strange smile on her face.
"Oh, sorry."
Qin Liu reacted and quickly followed the team forward.
“It’s lined up really fast.”
"It's abnormally fast." Miss White Wolf nodded, "I doubt whether they are really holding auditions. It may just be a formality."
"Eh~ Is that the case?"
"It's strange to choose a place like a park. Think about it, shouldn't knight competition auditions be held in a more serious place? Why choose such an entertainment venue?"
"But didn't Miss Yumira say that the current knight competition is just entertainment competition?"
"Well, if you put it that way, it seems to make sense."
Miss Qin Liu smiled and suddenly asked, "Bai Lang, if I am really selected, should I go and participate?"
"I think commercial competition is meaningless, but if you want to have fun, you can give it a try."
"Forget it, I also think this kind of competition is boring."
About half an hour later, it was finally Qin Liu and Bai Lang's turn in the line, and they walked into the audition office together.
The so-called audition office was temporarily converted from a park service station. The space inside was extremely simple, with only a desk and two sets of office chairs. When Miss White Wolf came in, the middle-aged staff member was interviewing the previous candidate. He had a loose attitude and sent the person away with just a few words.
"Next person."
The staff member drew a red cross on his record book and shouted in a sleepy tone without even looking up. Miss Bailang pushed Qin Liu and the two of them walked in together.
"Name?"
"Qin Liu."
