"So early? Didn't you say you'd stay here for two weeks? It's only been four or five days. Have you finished all your business?"
"It's basically over. You're all busy. Kingslayer has been leading the team for three months and he's still too busy to come back. Bonebreaker, Froststar, and Big Bob have also started to go out on missions. You and Alina also have important things to do. How can I stop? I used to worry that the camp would be in danger when I was not there, but now that General Patriot is stationed outside, I don't have to worry about anything anymore."
"Tallulah, you don't have a lot of things to do, so it's okay to take a break."
"Thank you, but I have already made plans. I have to leave this afternoon. I came here to tell you my decision and to give you this."
After the Dragon Girl finished speaking, she took out a folded red gold card from her pocket.
"what is this?"
"I don't need the ID now."
Bai Lang took it. Judging from the touch, it should be some kind of precious leather product. She opened the card from the fold and saw the identity information of the card owner on the inside:
Olicia, inherited the title of Lord of Beiyuan Gaoling, June of the year 1085 of the Terra calendar (ten years ago)...
The photo that symbolizes personal information shows a vast snowy field, with a slender white-haired figure in the lower right corner, but no facial features can be seen.
With proof of identity, theoretically she could move freely in Ursus without being forced to undergo infection testing, but would this thing work?
"Talulah, this is the certificate of lordship. Won't you be discovered if you pretend to be a lord?" White Wolf looked at the Dragon Girl in shock and fear. What if she took this thing on the airship and was discovered and taken away?
"No, in Ursus, no one dares to cause trouble to a lord, and they won't even question him. Moreover, this is a genuine certificate. I took it from Kosice, whose owner had been killed by him. I can be regarded as avenging Olicia, so I borrowed this identity by the way."
Tallulah was right. Ordinary staff members of Ursus would never dare to risk angering a noble. However, although she had a great need for this thing, the other party should need it more.
"If you give this to me, what will you do with it?"
After Miss Long Nu heard what Bai Lang said, her expression became a little strange: "I really don't need it. You may not believe it, but without revealing my identity, they naturally treat me as a noble. In short, the ID is just a decoration for me."
Bai Lang was speechless for a moment. Her intuition told her that there was absolutely no falsehood in the other party's words.
This is heartbreaking. She and the Regicide don't have that kind of aura. For safety reasons, they had to give up the airship and had no choice but to take a day-long red train to the north.
"Okay then. I'll take it." Since Tallulah said so, she accepted it generously. It seemed that there would be one more pseudonym character in the future.
"There's nothing else to do. Go ahead and get busy. I'm going to say goodbye to Alina and then go directly to Winterfell. Well, bye."
"Wait a moment."
White Wolf suddenly stood up, walked around the table and stool to Miss Dragon Girl, gave her a big hug, and then whispered almost close to her ear:
"Tallulah, forgive me for being a selfish person. I don't care whether your action will succeed or not. I just hope you can come back safely. Goodbye, may the stars and the moon light your way."
Volume 2: Chapter 75: Logic Instructor
After Tallulah left, White Wolf continued to edit her elementary mathematics textbook, but stopped soon after. She realized that she was a little restless and couldn't concentrate, so she pushed the manuscript paper forward, pulled the chair back, lay down straight, and stared at the ceiling blankly with her eyes dull.
Sometimes people suddenly get bored, so bored that they become anxious and flustered. She unconsciously took out the ID card that Tallulah gave her, held it close to her eyes, and carefully observed the pattern on it.
This special double-headed eagle pattern should be a symbol of nobility, this thought suddenly came to her mind.
She had seen this pattern before. It was on the salary card that Kal'tsit gave her, the card she had just used to draw the picture. This card had been proven to be exclusive to Ursus nobles when they were in Winterfell.
Lyudmila was scared at that time. Uh, did I forget something?
At that time, at that time...
Lyudmila seemed to have asked me who the owner of the card was, and I answered it was Kal'tsit. Then, she seemed to say that she knew someone with the same name. Not long ago, Tallulah also asked about Kal'tsit and also said that she knew someone with the same name.
Considering the identities of Lyudmila and Talullah, the Kal'tsit they both mentioned might be the same person, and an Ursus, so she should have nothing to do with Rhodes Island.
But why did Kal'tsit give her a card of an Ursus noble?
Ah! This?
Several clues were suddenly connected together, and everything became confusing.
Lyudmila said that the 'Kal'tsit' she knew was dead.
Tallulah specifically asked about Kal'tsit's age, and now it seems that this was not a casual question.
Could it be that these Kal'tsits are actually the same person?
No, no, Rhodes Island's Kal'tsit is suspected to come from the Tower of Babel, and the Tower of Babel was the ally of the former Princess Kazdel, so it can be understood as the Kazdel forces. Kazdel and Ursus are old enemies, so how could Kal'tsit be related to the Empire?
In fact, it is not impossible, but to be able to maneuver among various top forces and escape unscathed can only be done by monsters, and they have to be the most insidious and deep ones!
It’s not like she hasn’t seen Kal’tsit from Rhodes Island before. She is gentle, pretty and good-tempered, which doesn’t fit the above inference at all. So, there must be two people!
She poured herself a cup of tea and sipped it in an attempt to calm herself, but her thoughts were already wandering out of control.
If Rhodes Island's Kal'tsit only has the background of the Tower of Babel, it is enough to show that she is different from what she appears on the surface. The Tower of Babel is not a simple organization.
Not only is it not simple, it can even be said to be weird.
According to the information she read in old newspapers a few years ago, the Tower of Babel was eerily powerful. It was said that this was mainly due to an extremely terrifying commander. But what was even more bizarre was the disappearance of this organization. After Theresa's death, the entire Tower of Babel disappeared in an instant.
She thought of a question she had not noticed before. If Babel was so strong, why did Theresia, whom they supported, die not long after the civil war began? The newspaper said that Theresia carried out the beheading, but wouldn't Babel be prepared for this? Didn't they have a powerful commander? How could they not think of this?
Moreover, if it was really a decapitation operation, then wouldn't the first thing Babel would do be revenge? Why did it just disappear without any movement?
When it comes to difficult problems, White Wolf has never been reluctant to make bold guesses.
For example, Theresa is not actually dead!
Based on her experience in her previous life, she has always had an unspeakable secret: Rhodes Island is actually a famous swordsman tower!
This swordsman wears a mask all year round, and no one has ever seen her/his face, but she/he plays an important role in Rhodes Island and is trusted and loved by everyone. If you think about it this way, the answer is actually very obvious. Theresa is the swordsman!
White Wolf excitedly deduced this conclusion, and following this line of thought, everything became clear and bright: After the civil war began, Theresa couldn't bear to see the suffering of the people, so she decided to fake her death, gave her position to Tresis, and left Kazdel with the members of Babel to establish Rhodes Island. This also explains why Rhodes Island was strong and developed rapidly from the beginning. However, Theresa herself was reluctant to really leave the people she loved deeply, so the main ship of Rhodes Island has been docked near the dragon gate between Kazdel and Ursus.
At the same time, the princess is always paying attention to the situation in Kazdel and strongly supports the mineral disease research project in order to save her own people. As we all know, the infection rate of the Sarkaz is the highest in Terra, which just fits her characteristic of taking the initiative to give in for the people during the civil war.
It matches, everything matches! Bai Lang stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back. She truly experienced what it meant to know the world without leaving home.
What a pity, what a pity! This genius idea could not be witnessed by others. Tallulah, Tallulah is gone. Ah, this is really a great regret in life.
Most people are only obsessed for a short time and can quickly adjust, but Bai Lang's obsession lasted for a whole week. She was immersed in the surprise of discovering the secrets of the world every day, and developed many new versions based on previous ideas. Sometimes, she even imagined that Theresa was a time traveler. After all, according to her guess, the other party was the original swordsman of the Swordsman Tower.
A week later, when she was about to leave, the excitement gradually faded.
During this short period of time, she encountered many setbacks. First, Froststar refused to go to Rhodes Island with her, saying that the organization was in an important development period and she couldn't get away. After White Wolf's repeated requests, he only got the result of "definitely next time". Then, the long-awaited Lyudmila still didn't come back. Her idea of meeting this friend before parting had to fall through. She didn't know how the red-haired Rupert would react when he knew that they were almost colleagues.
Some good things also happened. Miss Mudstone's team arrived during this period, and the situation was indeed as she said. These Sarkaz mercenaries were extremely well-behaved, and many of them were acquainted with Big Bob. This time, they were all as happy to come to the Reunion as if they were going home.
Bai Lang even had the idea that even if she announced a halving of their wages, these people would still stay.
On the last day before leaving, she sent the math textbooks she had sorted out to Alina, and happened to see that she had completed a sample book of the Ore Disease Manual. Alina immediately told her to write her name in the author's column.
White Wolf was unwilling to do this no matter what. She felt that everything should be attributed to Rhodes Island, but Miss Elafia refused to reason with her and insisted on her own opinion.
Bai Lang had no choice but to compromise and agreed to include herself as a co-author, but she also took the opportunity to ask Alina to put her name on it as well, on the grounds that she was in charge of the revision and publishing work.
Finally, this little book was finalized, and a line of inconspicuous small words was hidden in an inconspicuous place at the back of the book.
Author: Rhode Island & White Wolf, Editor: Alina.
Volume 2: Chapter 76 Ursus Nobles
The end of August in the year 1095 of the Terran calendar.
White Wolf boarded a southbound train from the outskirts of Winterfell alone. In her right hand was a 14-inch exquisite brown suitcase containing a set of clothes and a book.
The clothes were the military uniforms that Tallulah had worn. She had not thought of bringing them with her, but Alina reminded her that the weather in the south was hot and that she could not wear a white fleece windbreaker. She needed to prepare another piece of clothing, and it had to be suitable for playing a noble.
So, Miss Elafia took the initiative to open Tallulah's door (as the headquarters administrator, Miss Alina had the keys to all the rooms). Since they were of similar height, she could easily help White Wolf find a piece of flashy Ursus noble military dress of the right size in the Dragon Girl's closet.
Now this military uniform is lying quietly in White Wolf's suitcase.
The book is a sample of the "Infected Handbook" they compiled. White Wolf plans to take it to Rhodes Island to get some professional advice. If the content is suitable, he can also consider publishing a second edition.
It should be specifically pointed out that this "Infected Person's Manual" downplays all content related to the organization. On this point, White Wolf and Alina agree. They both hope that the manual can be more widely disseminated in the future, rather than being restricted by various countries due to political factors or interest disputes.
Finally, the weapon on her body. This time, she didn't need to hide the disguise. In Ursus, nobles were allowed to carry weapons into public places, and her ceremonial sword was the most suitable.
In general, she was very satisfied with her disguise. From her ID to her bank card, to her clothes and weapons, she was completely an Ursus lord, and a lord himself, not some noble lady. According to Ursus tradition, when noble ladies go out, they usually wear long skirts and many kinds of expensive ornaments, and have attendants to help carry things. They would never be like her, with a long sword and a suitcase with military uniforms in it.
It was at this time that she made a strange discovery: her communication tools were originally funded by Tallulah, and her current weapons, identity documents, and even the clothes she wore after going south were all obtained from the other party. After completing this set, it was like a Rupert version of Tallulah appeared.
In addition, she was very influential in the guerrillas and had good relations with most of the leaders of the integration. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was the second Tallulah. A strange thought suddenly flashed through her mind: if one day, she and Tallulah had a disagreement...
Hiss, that's it! What are you fantasizing about?
There were many more people on the train than when they came here, and it was basically full. White Wolf was surprised at first, but he soon had the answer in his mind.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand. It is almost September. Although the north enters a long winter in October, accidents happen and it is very likely that winter snow will come early. In order not to affect the itinerary, passengers who go south for the winter or come to the north for business will try to choose to go back at this time.
However, there was no passenger within a few meters of the White Wolf. The sword that symbolized her noble status had separated her from the crowd.
She could sense the curious eyes of the people around her, who must have been wondering: Why would a noble come from the north and take such a train? After all, it was a novelty to see a noble on a red train from the Gallic War era.
After pondering for a while, the white wolf raised his head and looked around. All these curious eyes lowered their heads in fear.
Upon looking, she discovered that there were a few standing passengers at the back of the train. Obviously, they were the ones without seats. These people would rather stand than sit near her.
There was a special person among the standing crowd, a child, about seven or eight years old, who had been staring at the empty seat near her with flickering eyes.
"Come here." White Wolf waved at him with a smile and patted the seat next to him, "Sit here."
The little girl's eyes lit up and she trotted over. During this time, the train suddenly jolted and the girl lost her balance and was about to fall, but the white wolf got up in time to hold her and brought her to the seat next to him.
Before she had the chance to talk to the lovely little Ursus girl, she saw a middle-aged Ursus woman rushing over.
The woman's face was rough and full of wrinkles. There were white dead skin the size of rice grains on her cheeks and lips. These were the marks left by the wind from the north for many years. The woman was terrified and said eagerly with a tone of flattery and pleading:
"Sir, little Natasha is ignorant and has offended you. Please forgive her. I will take her away immediately."
The other party's attitude left Bai Lang speechless for a moment, and he was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer.
This silence further aroused the woman's panic. Perhaps she thought the noble was thinking about punishment, so she hugged her daughter and knelt on the ground. Perhaps because she was too frightened, the woman just trembled and repeated the same words: "Please, please..."
The passengers around them also looked at the woman and her daughter with sympathy.
"Stop it, you misunderstood, I don't mean any harm." Bai Lang finally recovered from the huge psychological shock and spoke hurriedly. At the same time, she stretched out her hand and tried to help the woman up.
However, the woman was even more frightened. The last bit of color disappeared from her face. She stared at the hand that the white wolf stretched out and tried to retreat tremblingly. The little girl in her arms was also frightened by her mother's abnormal condition and her face turned pale. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry.
At this point, the crowd's eyes also became sharp and full of sarcasm, as if to say: Do you think we will believe your false benevolence and righteousness? Do you think the people will be easily manipulated by you? You will soon reveal your true colors!
They all felt deep sympathy for what happened to the woman and the little girl, and were even more resentful of the nobles because of it, but they did not need to stand up and say a word for the woman. They just needed to remain angry in front of their companions, which was enough to prove to others their own upright and arrogant hearts.
A great sadness suddenly struck White Wolf's heart.
She withdrew her hands, her face cold: "Go away, don't affect my mood here."
The woman's face showed an irrepressible ecstasy, and her face turned red. She nodded excitedly and retreated with Nata, repeating: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."
The White Wolf looked around again and saw the satisfied looks in people's eyes, accompanied by angry fireworks, but when they met her gaze, the fireworks immediately went out and became gentle, as if they flashed away, leaving only cold numbness, which made people wonder whether the flames had ever existed.
She plays an aristocrat, sitting here, feeling out of tune with everything, as if she has been separated from the world.
Volume 2: Chapter 77 Dagu Group
Koros is a large city in northern Ursus with the most complete air transportation system. White Wolf's original plan was to take the train to Koros, and then see if there was a flying vehicle that went directly to Longmen. If there was, it would be convenient. If not, she would need to fly to the southern city of Chernobyl for transfer.
There is a special Koros station on the railway, but after that unpleasant incident, she got off at the next station.
Outside the station is a city slightly larger than Winterfell. The temperature is still very low, but since it is far away from the snow-capped mountains and glaciers, there is no biting cold, and the flow of people is much larger than that of Winterfell.
When Bailang got off the car, it was already dusk, and the city streets were gradually lit up with colorful lights.
Since the station of Winterfell was built on the outskirts of the city, she got on the train directly without going into the city. Now, seeing the neon lights of the tall buildings, she suddenly felt as if she was in another world.
During the few months on the snowy plains, with electricity shortages, no internet, and tight living conditions, I almost forgot what the city looked like.
The surprise at external things was soon diluted by sadness again. She would never forget this day. She knew the gap between nobles and common people, but what was in books, what was told by others and what she experienced personally were completely different. This could not be described by the simple word "gap". It was like a natural chasm.
The reaction of the common people to the nobles also confirmed the content of the book "Millennium Terra" that she had read before. The author once mentioned: Ursus is now famous for its military strength, and most of its nobles have military merits. Fierceness and ruthlessness are the most prominent characteristics. Therefore, it is natural that the people fear them like tigers.
Her thoughts turned to the nobles of Casimir. According to information from Platinum and the immigrants, the nobles there were all real vampires. They wanted to squeeze the people to death while indulging in commercial activities. Even the most important knight competition had become a game of capital. It was not much better than Ursus.
Victoria's situation is different. This country, which was once glorious but is now in decline, undoubtedly has a strong historical and cultural heritage. Its aristocracy, as Tallulah said, pays attention to so-called aristocratic manners and attaches great importance to red tape. In fact, each of them is a hypocrite who appears glamorous on the surface but is insidious and dirty on the inside. Otherwise, how can we explain their delicate issue of the crown prince?
Yan State does not have true nobles, but it has a royal family that has greater power than the nobles. It is said that a single word can kill nine generations of a person's clan...
There are no real nobles in Colombia. In this emerging country, capital is king, and institutions like Rhine Life can do whatever they want...
Alas, no matter when, where, what year or month, no matter the collapse of a dynasty or the birth of a new one, or the chaos and unrest, it is the same group of people who suffer.
Bai Lang reminded herself again that she was just a nobody and there was no need to be sad here. She saw a musical instrument store and walked straight in.
