"That's right, I know her."
"You looked very surprised just now. Is Angel very famous among you?" White Wolf asked curiously.
"More than famous." Kong Xian's tone was as if he was talking about a legendary figure, "He is simply well-known, okay!"
"Yeah, since Exia is so powerful, it seems normal for her to be famous."
"She's not as famous as you think." Kong Xian corrected hastily, "It's said outside that she blew up her alma mater seventeen times in three years and then ran away. I didn't expect that she was in Rhodes Island."
"Blown up?" White Wolf asked in surprise.
"I guess she blew up some building. You know, rumors spread and it turns into this. But this is enough to prove that she is a special person. Isn't Rhodes Island afraid that she will blow through the bridge? If she is really in Rhodes Island, some cooperation projects must be carefully considered."
"Well, you don't have to worry about that. She's actually from Penguin Logistics and has a cooperative relationship with Rhodes Island. She only comes here when she's on a mission."
"That's good." Kong Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the food they ordered had been served. White Wolf didn't know whether Rutland had the habit of not talking while eating, so he decided to give it a try and stopped talking and concentrated on eating.
But after a while, she really couldn't help it. Why could Miss Kongxian drink the radish soup with such relish, and it seemed that she only ordered two bowls of radish soup?
Is this soup really that delicious?
If Kong Xian knew what Bai Lang was thinking, he would definitely tell her that the taste was just average. She is not a rabbit, so why would she like radishes? It’s just because they are cheap.
"Ms. Kongxian, wouldn't you like to order something else?"
"No." Kong Xian swallowed the white radish in his mouth and said calmly, "There is actually a reason for eating this radish."
The reason is that they are too poor, she thought, but there was no need to say that, as White Wolf would surely guess it.
However, due to the deceptive appearance and temperament, Bai Lang did not think that the other party was just short of funds. Her divergent thinking directly brought her to another magical dimension.
Asceticism! This is the most direct thought.
As expected of a monastic, she did not give up her precepts even after reaching the high walls. She then thought of Protestantism and Calvinism. Could it be that the Lateran was also beginning to follow the trend of "asceticism is the glory of the Lord"? Her thoughts were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. She was about to enter the stage of conflict and integration between the capitalist spirit that emerged from Columbia and the religious ethics of the Lateran.
Kong Xian naturally had no idea that this new friend had already imagined many religious reforms for her and regarded her as a practitioner of Protestant ethics. She just felt that the way the White Wolf looked at her changed after he heard what she said.
After thinking about it, White Wolf suddenly became very interested in the country of Lateran. She secretly regretted not asking the Archangel for more information about this matter. Fortunately, Sister Langdon was by her side. She asked seriously, "Ms. Kongxian, can you tell me about your monastery?"
"Of course, I guess you are curious why people from the monastery come out to discuss business cooperation." Kong Xian sighed. Her ultimate goal of rebuilding the Langdon Monastery with great effort was to spread the gospel to Terra. Unfortunately, no one has ever been interested in her missionary work along the way. Everyone is curious about why Sister Langdon wants to do business.
Actually, I wanted to listen to your teachings, Bai Lang complained secretly, but she didn't want to disappoint Kong Xian, so she nodded against her will.
"Let me put it this way. The Langdon Monastery is very different from other Lateran institutions. The most important point is that the monastery actively accepts believers from outside the Lateran. In recent years, the monastery has built a new school, a hospital, and renovated the training ground, so it is inevitable that there is a lack of money! If this key link is not opened up, how can we continue to develop?"
"Did you say training ground?"
"That's right. The Langdon Guard has always been the Pope's guard. Isn't it normal for them to have a training ground?"
White Wolf's face froze, she felt that the religious reform she had imagined in her mind was a waste of energy. It turned out that the people and the Pope were in cahoots, and there was no drama of the transition from the old to the new. But now she also knew some important information about the Lateran.
It is well known that the Lateran and the Lateran Church have always been closed, but what Kong Xian said about the establishment of a school at the Langdon Monastery, does it mean that their Pope tacitly approved the missionary work abroad?
With a "crunch" sound, Bai Lang's thoughts were interrupted. She saw Miss Kongxian viciously biting the last piece of radish into two pieces, chewing it a few times, and swallowing it down with a "gulp".
"Goodbye, Miss White Wolf. I have to go to a few more places for research while there is still time." After finishing her meal, the girl stood up and said goodbye, looking neat and tidy in a business style.
"Oh, bye, good luck."
The white wolf said goodbye to Kong Xian and continued to finish her food, but the lion's head was too much and she could not eat any more after eating half of it.
Just as she was about to throw these things away and leave, she suddenly thought of Miss Kongxian who was chewing the carrot just now. She was filled with emotion for a moment and waved to the front desk: "Boss, pack them up and take them away."
She took the packed food and searched for Angelina's dormitory according to the direction she remembered. This was a plan she had thought of a long time ago. Once she settled down, she would go to visit Angelina and ask her if Platinum had returned.
It was past eight o'clock in the evening, and Angelina was most likely in the dormitory at this time. Sure enough, when she finally found the place, she could see the light in the room through the crack in the door, and there was someone inside.
She walked over quickly, knocked on the door, and deliberately didn't say anything, wanting to give the other party a surprise.
The door opened, and a little Wolper appeared, followed by a voice with a babyish tone:
"Hello sister, do you need any help?"
"Uh, hello." White Wolf was a little overwhelmed for a moment, "Have you met Angelina?"
"My sister is here to look for Angelina. She's going to deliver a letter to Victoria. She's been gone for many days."
"You're on a mission, I see. Thank you. What's your name?" Bai Lang couldn't help but squat down and touched the girl's head.
The little girl Walper smiled and narrowed her eyes: "You're welcome, sister, just call me Lily of the Valley."
Volume 3: Chapter 3 Visitors
On the way back to the dormitory, Bai Lang kept admiring how there could be such a well-behaved child. She was even a little envious of Angelina who lived with Lily of the Valley.
"Falina, Farina, are you there?" She heard another child's voice from a distance.
It was Ifrit. This kid must have found out about his move from Warfarin.
She couldn't help but compare Ifrit and Lily of the Valley, but her intuition told her that there was no comparison at all. The gap was too big, and there weren't many people in Rhodes Island who could tolerate Ifrit's temper.
As Bailang thought about it, she walked quickly towards the dormitory. Under the light, she vaguely saw Ifrit's figure and Hemer standing helplessly behind her.
Just as she was about to say hello, Ifrit had already spotted her first. The anxiety on his face immediately turned into surprise, and he ran towards the White Wolf, shouting and waving:
"Farina, Farina, I'm here~"
This scene was forever engraved in White Wolf's heart. No matter how much time had passed, whenever she mentioned Ifrit, she would always think of the shining eyes of the girl who ran towards her when they met, as if she had seen the most precious treasure.
Only then did she realize that this hot-tempered yet innocent girl truly treated her as a family member.
The previous idea of comparing her with Lily of the Valley was thrown out of the window at once. For a moment, she stubbornly felt that Ifrit was a good child in every way, even his hot temper seemed cute. She felt that she somewhat understood some elders who were overly indulgent.
After the two hugged each other, Ifrit quickly separated from the white wolf in embarrassment.
She cleared her throat and acted like an adult: "Fa, Falin, Hemer said you went on a mission, how did you perform?"
White Wolf smiled secretly and replied, "Of course it was completed successfully. Kal'tsit and Amiya both praised me."
"I told you so." Ifrit said cheerfully to Hemer who had just come over, "Farina can definitely do anything."
"Farina." Hemer stepped forward and greeted her, smiling, "When you were away, this child kept talking about you every day."
"No, no way. Hemer, you are talking nonsense." Ifrit blushed and interrupted hurriedly, secretly glancing at White Wolf's expression.
She saw Farina's eyes were smiling like crescents, and she felt happy too. But she felt embarrassed, so she ran to the white wolf and said, "Farina, give me the door card. I'll go in and help you."
What Ifrit didn't know was that her tone was now close to that of a child acting coquettishly.
"Okay, okay. Then please ask Lord Ifrit to help me study the room layout. I know nothing about it." White Wolf said as he handed over the door card. Ifrit kept saying "hmm" as he took the thing and went to the room excitedly with a mission in mind.
Hemer stared blankly at Ifrit opening the door and disappearing into the room, then he suddenly said, "Farina."
"what happened?"
"You are really good at taking care of children."
"Haha, is that so?" White Wolf scratched the back of his head. "I think he likes this child too much. If it were someone else, who knows."
Hemer smiled and stopped talking about this topic. He said, "Kelsey showed me your medical report."
"Really? What do you think?"
Hemer's expression returned to the serious state he had when he was working. "It's very dangerous. Ifrit has had a similar experience to you. According to my past experience, after a large amount of contact with Originium in a short period of time, the density of blood Originium crystals will gradually increase over a period of several months. The time varies from person to person."
White Wolf nodded helplessly: "Actually, I have prepared for the worst, and this result is pretty good for me."
"It's good that you think this way. I was thinking about how to comfort you. By the way, the report shows that there is an abnormal shadow on your left arm. Is there any Originium crystal growth?"
"Yes." Bai Lang lifted his sleeves, revealing the skin an inch above his left elbow. Under the light, the rice-sized Originium crystals sparkled like colorful gems.
"When was it discovered?"
"It was only today, after I read the test report, that I noticed it. I had no feeling at all and I don't even know when it appeared."
"It can only happen in the next two days." Hemer frowned. "If nothing unexpected happens, the next time you take the test, you will see that the blood crystal density continues to rise."
There was nothing White Wolf could do about this kind of thing. He could only stare at Hemer helplessly, and the meaning was obvious: everything depends on you.
At this time, Ifrit suddenly rushed out in surprise: "Falfalin, Faalfalin, come quickly, what are you going to do in this room?"
White Wolf and Hemer looked at each other helplessly and followed Ifrit into the room.
The room Ifrit was talking about was the vacant research room, and White Wolf replied, "I plan to transform this room into a study."
“Will there be storybooks?”
White Wolf nodded with a smile. She felt that the few days of tutoring she had given in Columbia were not in vain. At least Ifrit would take the initiative to mention storybooks.
"Yes, Master Ifrit will help you design it right away."
"This is not an easy job. You need to measure the size of the room, choose the right furniture, and determine where to place it. It's not easy. If you don't understand something, go ask the people on Rhodes Island. Be polite. I'll leave this room to you."
Ifrit didn't expect that decorating a room would require so much consideration, but since Farina had given her the task, she had to do her best. She wanted to prove that she could help others get things done.
Then a few people sat on the sofa and chatted casually for a while, mainly Ifrit asked questions curiously, and White Wolf told him what he saw and heard in the north of Ursus after a little artistic processing.
She mentioned the endless grey ice fields, the snow-capped mountains all year round, the huge icy lakes and the vast cedar forests. While speaking, she took out her mobile phone to find the photos she had taken to support her words, and repeatedly stressed that her photography skills were not good and the actual scenery was much more shocking.
Ifrit, the young girl with little knowledge, was truly grinning from ear to ear the entire time. Most of her current time was spent in Rhine Life's laboratory, and she had never imagined that there would be such a scene in the world.
Unfortunately, it was already late, and after only half an hour of chatting, Hemer said goodbye to Ifrit, who was reluctant to leave, on the grounds that Farina needed to rest.
After seeing the two off, White Wolf went to take a hot bath. Afterwards, she returned to the bedroom wrapped in a bath towel, intending to read the Rhodes Island Employee Guide for a while. However, as soon as she sat on the bed, she immediately felt extremely sleepy. Only then did she realize that she had been busy all day long.
The guide in her hand was thrown casually on the bedside, she turned off the light, lay down and fell asleep.
Volume 3: Chapter 4 Ifrit's New Friend
The next day, White Wolf slept until she woke up naturally, and then she stared at the ceiling for a while before getting up. She was now an unemployed person in Rhodes Island, and there were no urgent tasks to deal with, so she was naturally very comfortable.
Driven by hunger, she dressed and got out of bed. She began to complain more and more: Rhodes Island did not even provide cooking utensils for its employees, and there was no kitchen in the room, which was really inconvenient.
In fact, this is just a simple attack of laziness. I don’t want to go to the restaurant for dinner.
It's a kilometer to walk back and forth! She made excuses for herself.
At this moment, she remembered the lion's head that she had packed and brought back yesterday, so she wandered to the refrigerator and took out the food that had been frozen into ice balls.
It would be best to use Originium techniques to add some heat, she thought, but after looking around, she saw no suitable metal heat-conducting tools, so she had to give up the idea and wait for the food to thaw on its own.
She only waited for a few minutes before changing her mind again: Let's go to the restaurant to eat. This frozen lion's head is a bit shabby. Well, by the way, buy a set of metal tableware. Then I can use the Originium technique to heat it myself.
One more troublesome thing before going out was to tidy up her messy hair. She walked to the mirror and tidied her hair patiently. At this time, she heard another knock on the door.
"I'm coming."
White Wolf quickly fixed his hair and hurried over to open the door. Standing at the door was Ifrit, followed by a shorter girl named Pelo.
"Good morning, Ifrit, who is next to you?"
"I'm Xiao Ke." Little girl Pero shook her ears, accentuated the "ke" in "Xiao Ke", and then looked into the house curiously.
Seeing this, Bailang kindly bowed and allowed Xiaoke to enter the house.
"She is my friend and my new little sister." Ifrit proudly introduced her, but she was shocked halfway through her words: "Cheobe, what are you doing!"
At this time, Xiao Ke had already spontaneously run to the table and started to bite a piece of lion's head. After hearing Ifrit's cry, she tried even harder to swallow it down.
Ifrit felt that she was being humiliated by this friend. She could see that Farina didn't care at all, but she just felt embarrassed.
"No, don't eat." Ifrit walked over and pulled Ceobe's arm.
"Oh, okay, I won't eat anymore." Ceobe swallowed the last piece of lion's head and nodded obediently. In just half a minute, she had finished three fist-sized lion's heads.
White Wolf glanced at Ceob, who seemed to be still unsatisfied, and asked, "You probably haven't had breakfast yet, why don't you come with me to the restaurant?"
"No, I've eaten."
"Xiao Ke is not full."
The two people said it almost at the same time.
"If you're not full, go again. The restaurant is very close." Bai Lang made the decision easily. She closed the door as she spoke. There was a ding-dong sound, indicating that the door had been locked.
When Ceobe heard that they were going to eat, she happily ran to the front to lead the way, but Ifrit seemed listless along the way.
"What's wrong?" White Wolf patted Ifrit's shoulder gently.
Ifrit shook her head: "Nothing."
