"No, you are pretending. You are different from real nobles. Nobles are all arrogant and hypocritical guys." Winter patiently explained his point of view.
"Sonia, I don't agree with this. We are all human beings first, and then we have other identities. Even in Ursus, there are good people among the nobles."
"Okay, I get it. Even though you and Anna both said so, I only believe my own eyes. I still stick to my own ideas."
"It's a good thing to experience it yourself. Never mind. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue looking at the photos. Wow, this one, Anna is so beautiful."
Zhenli, who was standing next to him, blushed and coughed.
The photos were quickly turned over, and their topic gradually shifted from the photos to the daily life of Ursus students, and then to the story of Winter's own "conquests". Although it was just a simple student fight, White Wolf sensed a unique sense of freshness from it, and felt that it was much more interesting than his own experience as a bounty hunter.
During this period, Skadi came to the door once, but when she saw that there were many people inside, she pretended to be passing by and left.
She went outside and it happened to be raining lightly. She braved the rain and walked back to the small bar she had discovered yesterday. She found a seat by the window, pulled down the brim of her hat, and sat down quietly.
It was foggy outside the window, and the sound of dripping rain echoed in her ears. There was a glass of wine in front of Skadi, but she didn't drink it. She tapped the table again and again with her right index finger, watching the ripples caused by the vibration of the liquid in the glass.
It would be better to leave alone, she thought. This would be a good thing for both of them. If they really got into trouble, she didn't have much confidence in protecting this person.
After all, she was just an escapist. The past would come back to haunt her one day, and she didn't know if she was ready for that day.
Surely not, she thought to herself, feeling melancholy and sad at the same time.
The guests in the pub seemed to be infected by her emotions and deliberately lowered their voices for fear of disturbing the sad girl.
Whenever she fell into this state of mind, Skadi always felt that everything had lost its meaning. In this situation, all her motivation disappeared, and she just wanted to find a place to lie down, think about nothing, do nothing, and wait for time to pass.
She listened to the sound of rain and sank deeper and deeper into sorrow.
After an unknown amount of time, Skadi stood up listlessly, leaving the wine untouched, and staggered out of the tavern.
The rain was still falling, the autumn rain never stops. She walked through the streets in the rain, feeling melancholy, and kept thinking about her farewell words in her heart, but the more she thought about it, the more depressed she felt, and the more depressed she felt, the more she was reluctant to think about the problem. After going through this vicious cycle twice, she simply gave up thinking and only kept the purpose of her farewell in mind.
The sad, self-pitying Miss Killer Whale lowered her head and walked silently through the streets and alleys until she came to Aztler's door.
She took off her hat, shook off the rain, and was about to put it back on, but her hand stopped in mid-air.
She found her hair was wet. Except for the part covered by the hat, one-third of her hair was soaked by the rain, and the rain spread to the ends of her hair, sticking them together.
In the past, this situation would have been absolutely unbearable and needed to be dealt with immediately, but today, she was in no mood to deal with it. She only felt that this unfortunate incident made her even more sad.
Miss Killer Whale pinched the brim of her hat with her left hand, went upstairs in a daze, came to the door of the ward, and walked in without saying a word.
Bai Lang had just sent Lin Dong and the others away not long ago, and was now sitting on the bed, concentrating on looking at her cell phone that was covered with spider patterns.
Hearing someone coming in, she looked up reflexively and was startled.
She remembered that Miss Skadi was still full of life in the morning, but after not seeing her for a few hours, she seemed to have experienced countless human sufferings and lost her soul. The intense sadness spread all the way along with the raindrops dripping from her body.
"Ah, Skadi, what's wrong with you!?"
As White Wolf asked, he racked his brains to guess what had caused the other party to torment him into this state within a few hours.
"I'm leaving." Miss Killer Whale said sadly.
"Where to go?"
"I don't know, but it's just one person." Skadi said, picking up the big sword from the corner and slung it across her right shoulder.
White Wolf was panicking now. This strange situation could not be ignored. In a hurry, she shouted:
"You are not allowed to leave!"
"Oh." After hearing this, Skadi stood still. When White Wolf began to reflect on whether he had used the wrong words, she saw the other party put the sword back on his back.
"Then I won't leave."
This! Bai Lang was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath. She couldn't understand what was in this girl's head at all. At the same time, she wisely decided not to delve into the reasons for this confusing behavior.
But a moment later, Skadi resolutely walked out the door again.
"Wait." White Wolf shouted quickly.
Skadi turned her head in confusion: "What's the matter?"
"No. No, no, yes, what are you going to do?"
"Your hair is wet." Skadi lifted a strand of white hair and shook it left to right.
"I see." White Wolf breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded weakly, "You're wet too, go take a shower."
"Oh." Skadi responded, and I don't know if she heard it or not. Anyway, she left with light steps humming a song.
After the other party left, White Wolf lay alone on the bed and muttered to himself: "This Miss Skadi is so weird."
Volume 2: Chapter 98: Rhodes Island's Medical Operator
White Wolf only rested in bed for two days before she was basically back to action. Since the flight to Longmen had a fixed time, she and Skadi stayed in Azazel for the remaining days.
Of course, White Wolf was embarrassed to leisurely watch everyone busy in the clinic, so as soon as she recovered, she took on the role of a surgeon. In the absence of medical practitioners in the North, her level seemed to be OK, but in front of Louisa, an expert with many years of medical experience, White Wolf felt that it would be better for her to be an apprentice, so she played the role of a good student from the beginning.
Studying medicine was her activity in the morning. In the afternoon, she would find Dean Helag on time to ask him to teach her swordsmanship.
In fact, at the beginning, Bai Lang did not have much hope for this. She thought that since the dean had already retired, he might not be willing to take up arms again. But she didn't expect that as soon as she made the request, Hellagur agreed without even thinking about it.
The original words of this Ursus general were: "The cause of the Integration Movement is very meaningful, but this path is bound to be accompanied by great risks. I can't leave Azazel. I just hope these skills can help you."
During his time in Azazel, White Wolf talked to Hellagur about the Patriots, and thus mentioned the Reunion Movement. The Dean was very interested in the path chosen by his old friend the Patriot, and further expressed his desire to meet Tallulah, who persuaded the Patriot to join the Reunion Movement.
Of course, Tallulah herself would certainly be happy to meet this legendary general, but under the current circumstances, no one could tell when and where the two would meet.
As a member of the Hippogriff tribe of Ursus, Hellagur's swordsmanship fully demonstrates his terrifying racial talent. In short, it all comes down to one thing: "fast", a perfect mixture of extreme speed and exquisite skills. This feature is actually very similar to the White Wolf's usual fighting style. Both of them are good at fighting with speed and skills, but Hellagur's level is much higher than hers.
White Wolf, who excelled in speed and skill, was unable to defeat Hellagur even once. The time it took for her to swing her sword was enough for the general to swing it four or five times, and the speed was so fast that it was unbelievable. Due to the different racial talents, White Wolf might never reach Hellagur's level, but it was certain that Hellagur was definitely the most suitable swordsmanship instructor for White Wolf at present.
While the old and the young in the yard were practicing, Skadi sat aside and watched bored. In her eyes, this kind of fancy fighting method was really boring. Fighting still required good feel.
Although sword training was boring, there was nothing else to see, and she also wanted to observe the level of her bounty hunter colleagues, so she did not fall behind in any of White Wolf's training.
As expected, it still doesn’t work. Skadi watched and wondered, how can someone so weak become a bounty hunter?
She saw White Wolf being easily defeated by the old dean who had some strength left, and then failed for the second, third, and Nth time. Sometimes, she would get confused while watching, and would want to run out to help her accomplices vent their anger. At this point, her rationality would immediately return, and she would remember that this was actually normal training. Then she would unconsciously fall into deep worry:
Wouldn't such a weak bounty hunter run around without getting into any accidents? Should I keep an eye on her? No, no, I am the biggest source of danger. It is better to strengthen the training and make the other party stronger.
She immediately remembered that her fighting style was different from White Wolf's and she couldn't train him personally, and she felt even more frustrated.
Through the observations over the past few days, Skadi has gradually confirmed that although both of them are Rhodes Island operators and bounty hunters, she is obviously more of a bounty hunter, while White Wolf is more of a Rhodes Island operator. According to her understanding, there seem to be many people like White Wolf who study both medicine and martial arts in Rhodes Island.
In one of the few missions she had with other operators, she had witnessed a medical operator with long green hair who, after treating other wounded soldiers, rushed into the battlefield in a rage with a staff in hand, hammering away the enemies one by one.
And there is Kal'tsit, the woman who makes her feel unfathomable, who is also a doctor on the surface.
Skadi was still thinking about it, and when she looked up, she suddenly saw that the training in the yard had ended. It seemed like it ended a little early today?
After White Wolf said goodbye to the dean, he walked towards her with a sword in hand: "Skadi, we agreed to go shopping today, let's go."
"Oh." Skadi nodded and remembered the previous arrangement. They would leave Che City by aircraft tomorrow. In order not to attract attention, White Wolf said he would buy her something to pack her weapons.
She didn't know what could hold her greatsword, but out of curiosity and blind trust, she followed the White Wolf to the center of the city.
Today, White Wolf dressed up as a noble again and headed straight to various musical instrument stores with his guards.
This time, she helped Skadi choose a violin case of just the right size, and then like last time, she returned the violin and bought the case. However, this time she did not waste her money. She only paid twice the price of the box, which was one thousand Longmen coins, and the extra five hundred was used as compensation. After all, she was no longer well-off now, and the long-distance flight to Longmen tomorrow would cost a lot of money. It was time to implement a "planned economy".
Skadi put the sword in the box, then put the box on her back, walked back and forth for two steps, and nodded happily. White Wolf's idea helped her solve many problems. In the future, when she needs to avoid alerting the target during certain missions, she can also use this method instead of hiding the weapon somewhere as before.
"Are we going back now?" Skadi asked happily.
"Wait a little longer. We'll leave tomorrow. I'll buy some gifts for Lin Dong and the others."
Skadi knew about these two children. They would come over for a while every day. Yesterday, Winter heard about White Wolf's experience as a bounty hunter and was so excited that she had to fight with him. As a result, she was easily defeated by White Wolf. Since she saw Miss White Wolf being defeated by the dean every day, she was stunned for a while when she suddenly found that White Wolf could easily defeat Winter.
White Wolf found a bookstore and went in to buy gifts. Skadi waited alone at the door. About ten minutes later, she saw White Wolf come out with several books with beautiful covers in his arms.
It looked like some kind of picture book, Skadi guessed in her mind, and she glanced at the words "Summer Clothing Matching" written on the cover, and she didn't quite understand it.
What's the good way to match clothes? Does Miss White Wolf like these gifts? What a strange hobby.
As she thought about it, she silently took out her communicator and started searching on the Internet.
Volume II: Chapter 99: Feasibility of Cooperation
After learning that White Wolf was leaving tomorrow, both Winter and Truth felt reluctant to let him go. One of them saw White Wolf as a target that must be defeated, while the other saw White Wolf as an object to discuss sociological issues. After all, White Wolf was from Colombia, so his knowledge was naturally much broader than theirs.
Unfortunately, this idea has to be put on hold for the time being, but White Wolf also promised that if he visits Che City again in the future, he will definitely come to Azazel to meet them.
This little sadness was soon washed away by the gift. Although Bai Lang knew nothing about fashion design, she knew that she should buy the latest books of this kind, so she chose them based on the year of publication and the exquisiteness of the cover. As a result, she was praised by Lin Dong for her taste. She did not explain and kept smiling on her face, as if she was really the professional the other party said.
After seeing off Zhen and the others, White Wolf gathered with Hellagur, Louisa and others for dinner. She once again answered Azazel's questions about Rhodes Island. During this period of time, she introduced Rhodes Island almost every day. At the same time, she also noticed that the dean was particularly concerned about Rhodes Island's sheltering of infected children. Considering that there were some severely infected orphans in the clinic, White Wolf roughly knew the dean's thoughts but did not point it out.
After dinner, Hellagur asked White Wolf to accompany him for a walk. The two left Azazel and walked silently along the streets under the night.
Herag remained silent, his brows furrowed as he thought about something.
Bai Lang knew what he was thinking. After walking through an alley, she couldn't help but break the silence:
"Dean, I will do my best to cooperate with Rhodes Island."
Herag sighed, "I believe you, but there are some things you may not know. Azazel can give too little, and requires too much. Moreover, he is at a disadvantage in the negotiation, and he is facing Kal'tsit. I can't think of any reason for him to agree. Azazel needs more than just inhibitors."
"You still need Rhodes Island to treat those seriously ill children." White Wolf spoke his mind.
Herag nodded, not much surprise on his face. He had expected that the white wolf could observe certain situations:
"Yes, we need a lot. Rhodes Island's partners have always been nobles or business tycoons from various countries. What they can provide cannot be provided by Azazel. I know Kal'tsit's purpose in looking for me, but I will never leave Azazel. Will the Lord do this kind of business that is bound to lose money?"
The two fell silent again.
"She will." After a while, White Wolf suddenly spoke.
"Why?" Herag stopped and looked at the white wolf, hoping to get an answer.
"I don't know." White Wolf stopped and shook his head.
"But she will agree." She raised her head and repeated stubbornly.
Herag looked at this inexplicably stubborn student, and his frown suddenly relaxed. He couldn't help but smile and said, "If you can convince the Lord, our Azazel may be the first organization to make her suffer a great loss."
"No." Bai Lang shook his head seriously, "I always feel that she didn't lose anything, and even made a lot of money."
She continued to analyze, "Dean, it is now certain that Kal'tsit wants you to go to Rhodes Island, and you have legitimate reasons to refuse this for the sake of the infected people in Che City, but there is something you can do here. You can propose a plan to go to help when Rhodes Island is threatened as a price."
"But this simple promise doesn't seem to match Rhodes Island's efforts." Herag said thoughtfully.
"It depends on how you put it." White Wolf was about to put his hands behind his back to show off, but then he remembered that the old man was his current mentor, so he coughed and said politely, "Dean, we can think of it this way. First of all, Rhodes Island is a pharmaceutical company. Although it has some special businesses, they are not its main business after all. According to their current situation, they are not short of high-end combat power for the time being. Your going to Rhodes Island will not bring you immediate benefits;
Secondly, you are a legendary general of Ursus, and your identity is sensitive. If your identity is exposed in Rhodes Island, it will cause great trouble to them. Kal'tsit must have considered this."
When he said this, White Wolf's excitement got a little out of control:
"Besides, a general who is well-known and hiding in the dark can play a decisive role at certain moments. This will be the key chess piece that determines victory or defeat. You write a letter according to my previous idea, stating your willingness to cooperate. Kal'tsit will definitely think that you can play the best role by keeping your identity hidden. If she pretends not to think of it, I will talk to her in detail. Finally, she will be completely relieved when she receives your handwritten letter."
Herag nodded continuously while listening to White Wolf. He suddenly felt that his previous view was wrong. This child's real talent might not be in swordsmanship but in something else. This calm and steady planning and leisurely style of telling the story seemed like...
At this moment, the white wolf in front of him suddenly jumped up in panic: "Ah! Dean, no, teacher, what I said just now was absolutely not meant to offend you. The chess pieces and the like were all nonsense. I definitely didn't mean to treat you as a tool. Please don't be angry with me. I apologize! I, I will give you a back massage!"
Helag immediately decided to abandon his previous evaluation.
Volume 2: Chapter 100: Dragon Gate
At noon the next day, after a brief farewell, White Wolf took Hellagur's letter and walked for more than half an hour with Skadi Azazel to reach the floating port of Che City.
She was still wearing Tallulah's military dress, with a ceremonial sword with intricate patterns slung around her waist, a true aristocrat. As soon as they arrived at the floating port, a special crew member came to lead them to the aristocratic passage.
The flight attendant took out his work notes as he walked and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, sir, where are you going this time?"
"Dragon Gate."
"Understood. The aircraft heading to Longmen will depart in one hour at 1 p.m. and is expected to arrive at 6:20 p.m. We will need your cooperation in making a record of the trip."
"Pass record?" White Wolf asked in confusion.
The flight attendant nodded and explained seriously: "According to Longmen's foreign exchange regulations: Longmen is an international commercial city. People from any country or race can go there freely, but international passengers need to make a record in advance and hand over their personal identity information to the Longmen Guard Bureau through various transportation hubs."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the lounge and sat on the high-quality leather sofas provided specially for them.
Although Bailang had not expected the traffic record, she thought that Longmen, as a mobile city with a huge flow of people, really needed to work hard on personnel management. She glanced at Skadi and said to the attendant:
"Okay, what to do?"
