The white wolf rolled his eyes, this is not high, it's a steal, not to mention Kelsey's opinion, she herself can't agree.

"Master Marquis must be joking." She said with a smile while playing with the silver tableware on the table.

Carolin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing: "Yes, yes, people like to liven up the atmosphere when they are old. What I just said was just a joke. In business, how can I make my allies lose money? In fact, I not only It can make this happen, and it can make you earn more.”

The white wolf was unmoved, and said calmly: "Please tell me."

"I know that the other partners in the business are Mouse King of Longmen and Kelsey, and you use them to transport and digest goods, but why don't you just hand over these two tasks to me?" Caroline stroked his beard, Said with a smile.

"Look, I have a wide enough network, and the source stone mine is in short supply, so I don't have to worry about dealing with it. Isn't it more convenient for you to do business with me directly? I'll take care of everything else, and you only need to supply the goods. I can pay double what Erxi offers. How about it? There is no better deal than this."

White Wolf frowned and thought, is this to let the integration movement leave Kelsey alone?But in theory, this can indeed maximize the benefits.

Chapter 46 Nobility

Sometimes, different choices for the same thing may not be right or wrong, just like an antinomy. Those who choose morality can say that unjust benefits are like floating clouds; those who choose interests can think that all the chaos in the world is for profit.

White Wolf did not deny that she was moved for a moment. Direct cooperation with Carolin is not only a matter of higher profits, but also the risk of cooperation will be greatly reduced due to the reduced process.

But she is not a pure businessman, and she can't put aside the agreement with Kelsey. Moreover, in her opinion, it is not worthwhile to let the integration movement lose Rhode Island, a potential partner. .

It's just that it's not very wise to directly deny a marquis's proposal. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then respectfully said: "Master Marquis, you are the only nobleman in Ursas who has achieved great success in business. I heard that the reason why you To get to this point, the hard work of reputation is indispensable, and the juniors are not talented, and they are willing to follow suit."

Caroline couldn't tell whether it was approval or denial, he just nodded with a smile, but the smile was cold, and there was a chill in his eyes: "You are very good, but if I suddenly change my mind, you should How? That friend of yours must be the leader of the Reunification Movement, I don’t know why she came here, but wouldn’t it be possible to get everything by keeping her?”

"The risk is too great, there is no reason for you to do that." White Wolf said in an affirmative tone.

Caroline narrowed his eyes: "Sometimes people will suddenly want to do something that they can't expect. I heard that Tallulah is a top swordsman. How many levels of strength can you display?"

A gentle smile appeared on the white wolf's cheek: "If you really think so, you shouldn't let me approach you."

"Oh? Your adoptive father is a swordsmanship instructor. As far as I know, what he taught you can only be swordsmanship. Do you think that Ruper's fighting ability can be compared to that of the Ursus?"

"Trust me, you won't want to try it." White Wolf smiled and tapped the silver spoon on the table with his index finger. The Originium skill was concentrated on the index finger through the glove, and the spoon was instantly melted and deformed like soft tofu. The sandalwood table also turned black, and the room was filled with a wonderful woody fragrance that was slightly burnt.

The white wolf hurriedly withdrew his finger and apologized hastily: "Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Marquis, this table seems to be quite expensive, I definitely can't afford it, or you can just ignore the villain's mistakes and pretend you didn't see it, okay?"

Carolin was indeed intimidated by the white wolf's move. He realized the apology he was putting on airs. After sighing inwardly, he suddenly took out the photo of Lilian that had been put away before.

"Let's talk about your business."

Seeing the other party change the subject, Bai Lang felt tense, wondering if he was being too arrogant, and said eagerly, "Wait a minute, isn't the business done yet?"

"Who said that?" Caroline stroked his mustache and smiled slyly, "Kalsey and I settled the matter a few months ago, and I need you, a junior, to arrange it?"

"Ah?" The white wolf was stunned for a moment, then sat down discouraged, and said weakly, "Oh, I see."

Although he was suspected of being disrespectful, Caroline did get a long-lost sense of pleasure from the junior's humiliation, but when he thought about what he was going to say next, he felt uneasy again.

He has tested Lilian many times.I originally thought that combining the information I had obtained before and the information provided by Bozhuo Kasi, I should be able to figure out the temperament of this junior soon. After all, how can a girl under 20 years old be so difficult to guess?

But the result surprised him and gave him a headache. Lilian happened to have some of the qualities he valued the most, one was trustworthiness, the other was that he could solve problems tactfully, and he could use methods when he should be tough, and finally, he had strength. .If such a person is allowed to be cultivated by him, he will definitely be another new star of Ursus, and may even reach the level of Kelsey.

It would be a pity to let Lilian jump into the fire pit of the integration movement.

It's not that he can't understand Bozhuo Kasti's thoughts, but also understands the various problems within the empire. If it is not for the sake of being wise and safe, he is of course willing to help the infected and ordinary people at the bottom.

Some things really need people to do.But after this meeting, Caroline believed that this person should not be Lilian. Even from the perspective of an old friend, he would try to pull Lilian out of this quagmire. I believe Bozhuo Casti will understand His intentions.

After Carolin made up his mind, he didn't immediately make any demands, but first talked about his wartime past.

He and White Wolf's adoptive father were both Bodrocasti's subordinates, and they can be said to have a pen and a weapon.He is good at planning and communication, and can win better benefits for the team, and White Wolf's adoptive father, as a swordsmanship instructor, is the second only to Bozhuo Casti in the army.

The battlefield is full of variables. Caroline, who is the weakest, was rescued by his colleagues many times in distress, and he was safe in the end, but with a few scars on his face; but because of his own example, the adoptive father of White Wolf finally met him when he was rescuing his subordinates. He was seriously injured in an accident, so he could only follow the doctor's instructions and leave the cold Usas alone to recuperate in the warm and humid southern Colombia.

Carolin said with nostalgia: "He lives in seclusion, and I only received a letter ten years ago. He said that he was ashamed in Columbia, but after having you, he felt hopeful again. If he If you are still alive, what I hope most is that you can live in peace. I didn’t know why I received that letter before, but now it seems that he is aware of his physical condition and worried that time is running out, so he helped you in advance. You made arrangements."

Caroline was silent for a moment, as if recalling the past, and after a while, sighed again: "Lilian, after finishing this, how about you leave the integration movement? You have done enough."

White Wolf shook his head: "The suffering suffered by the infected is too deep. I can't compromise on this."

"But you are not suitable. There is a natural rift between nobles and commoners. You can't stay with people from the integration movement."

White Wolf didn't quite understand what Carolin meant, so he said according to his own thoughts: "Aristocrat? Tallulah, the leader of the integration movement, is a nobleman. I believe her. She will take a different path."

"No, she's not." Caroline slowly shook her head, "Talulah was deprived of her noble status after killing Duke Kosiche. She is a fugitive, nominally standing on the opposite side of the empire."

He took out a red letter from his pocket, and said lightly: "It's you, Lilian, if you really stay in the integration movement, it means that the imperial nobles participated in the rebellion, and His Majesty the Emperor will probably pay attention to it personally."

Chapter 47 Knighthood

Bai Lang was in a daze, how could she have anything to do with the nobles of the empire?Is Father Carolin joking?

Carolin seemed to have expected the White Wolf's reaction long ago, and said with a solemn expression: "The empire attaches great importance to military achievements, and was awarded the title with the merits of the battlefield. ', Lun Gong was named the Viscount of the Empire. When he left Ursas, he handed over the relevant documents to me for safekeeping. Ten years ago, he sent a letter, telling me many things, and attaching the Your photo, entrusts that one day in the future, you will come to Ursus to inherit his title."

The white wolf stared wide-eyed, digesting the news in disbelief. Caroline's words continued. He stood up, lit a pipe for himself, and looked out of the starry window.

"According to the imperial law, nobles without heirs can designate others to inherit the title in written form. The effective time of the document is when the noble dies. Therefore, Lilian, your current status is a military rank noble with the imperial record. The rank—— Viscount."

Shocked, the white wolf stood up, his face was as pale as paper, and he forced a smile and said: "No, no, there is nothing on my body that can be related to nobles, these are unnecessary things, I am just me That's all."

"Did you really discover nothing?" Caroline said lightly, "Your adoptive father told me that he raised you with noble standards since childhood. In the hall of the banquet, all the participants were nobles, and many of them knew the level of nobles. You have to compare, but you blended in naturally, and no one noticed anything unusual. As far as I know, you came to Koros and used your noble status as a disguise, and maybe you have used your noble status to go to many other places , and the workers in each monitoring station are veterans who have experienced countless people, why didn't anyone find out that you are a 'disguised' noble status?"

Carolin exhaled a puff of smoke, and summed up his words: "Because, you are an imperial nobleman, so why pretend to say it."

Bai Lang slumped down on the sofa, staring blankly at the sandalwood table in front of him, memories of the past flooded in front of him like a revolving lantern.

The education of the adoptive father is sometimes harsh to the point of every word and deed, just because of a little bad habit, he may be punished for a long time;

She put on Tallulah's royal dress and looked in the mirror, thinking it fit her perfectly;

She passed the checkpoint smoothly, and the Ursus soldiers bowed their heads in greeting;

On the train, the civilians kept a distance from her, her eyes swept over, and everyone lowered their heads;

Miss Platinum told her that when they met for the first time, they thought she was a lonely nobleman;

She is complacent about her 'disguised' experience, and thinks she has superb acting skills;

……

It turns out that there is no such accident in this world.

When she saw the common people being treated unfairly, she did not know how many times she despised the nobles from the bottom of her heart, but she did not expect that she would become one of them because of chance.

Life is like a drama.

After being shocked, the white wolf gradually calmed down. She stretched out her arm, revealing the origin stone crystal on her forearm, and shook her head: "I am an infected person."

Carolin didn't care, he smiled, and said leisurely: "I guessed when I saw you in the integration movement, but do you really think that Ursus will never allow infected people?"

"What do you mean?" White Wolf asked suspiciously.

Carolin's expression became complicated, he took a puff of his pipe, and sighed: "The ones who are not recognized are the infected civilians. And the nobles, especially the military nobles of our generation, have all come from the battlefield. Where is the battlefield? ?Origin stone weapons fly around, stay there for ten years, 20 years, how many people can guarantee that they will not be infected? Nobles have their own set of unspoken rules, as long as they cover up properly, it doesn't matter. As for the serious illness that cannot be covered up People will leave Usas directly and leave with money, Longmen, Columbia, Yan Kingdom, where can't they go?"

"Of course, what the nobles really desire is to have drugs that can control the disease. Decades ago, the most prestigious old nobles spent huge sums of money to set up a research institute in Chernobog for this purpose. The research institute with the highest standard, but the irony is that when the research improves slightly, the big shots behind the scenes can't sit still. no return."

White Wolf didn't know about this history, but when she heard about Originium Disease medicine and remembered that Kelsey had stayed in Ursus before, she couldn't help asking, "Kelsey?"

Caroline glanced at Lilian unexpectedly, thinking secretly, Lilian insisted on Kelsey so quickly, did Kelsey tell her such a secret thing?This doesn't seem like her style, or is it because she has some considerations of her own, that's why she tells the other party these past secrets?

Well, it seems that's the case. Kelsey's methods are simply incalculable to others, so it is natural to do so. Since the other party has said it directly, and his relationship with Lilian is closer in terms of seniority, then there is no need to replace her. She kept it a secret.

After thinking about the reason, Caroline said: "That's right, Kelsey is the person in charge of the Chiecheng Research Institute. Her amazing scientific research ability is valued by all the nobles. For those who hide their illnesses For the big men of the empire, the name Kelsey is synonymous with hope."

White Wolf asked again: "I heard that she had an accident in Ursas and was wanted."

"That's right." Caroline smiled meaningfully, "But she continues to use the name Kelsey to show her face. Rhodes Island is docked on the edge of the Dragon Gate, only a few hundred kilometers away from Usas, but Usas But it seems that no one can recognize her, don't you find it strange? Kelsey's confidence is not groundless."

Hiss, so to speak, there are actually a group of Ursus nobles standing behind Rhodes Island. If Mr. Carolin hadn't said it, she wouldn't have thought of this even if she was killed.

You know, she had always thought that Kelsey might be a Ursus wanted criminal.

Frank from Columbia once said that some of the inhibitors in Rhodes Island were sold at high prices to various wealthy businessmen. Perhaps, the order from Ursus is one of them.

Caroline breathed a sigh of relief, put down his pipe, and said, "Lilian, since Kelsey is willing to tell you about the city, he should value you very much. After restoring your noble status, you can become an intermediary between Rhodes Island and the imperial nobles. .In fact, this banquet is prepared for you, you come to the scene with me now, and I will officially announce your noble status to everyone."

"But Lord Marquis."

The white wolf blinked, and smiled slyly like a fox: "Did I ever say that I would accept this identity?"

Chapter 48 Confused

Carolin had expected the White Wolf's reaction. He knew that Lilian was not someone who could be easily persuaded, but he was not easy either, and had already prepared other plans.

He took a puff on his pipe and said slowly: "It's too late, I have the materials and photos sent by your adoptive father here, so I have already registered your information in the rank book, which is the register that records the names of all imperial nobles , In other words, your aristocratic status has been registered in various institutions of the empire."

White Wolf was startled at first, and then realized that something was wrong. Caroline deliberately ignored some things!

The details of the nobles are often not known, but she has read a few special books when she was in Longmen, one of which is the Ursus political treatise compiled by the Victoria Institute, and in this book, it is specially introduced Part of the aristocratic rules of Ursus.

After the nobles of Ursus become adults, they must re-register the title information with the custodian accompanied by witnesses, and choose or inherit the fief according to the noble rank. Before this step is completed, the noble files of the parties are sealed, only Retain the status of nobility and do not enjoy any nobility rights.

The photo of Lilian in Carolin's hand is from many years ago, so it is difficult for people to directly contact her. In the absence of other people's identification, she only needs to keep the noble files sealed, and she can be a "noble" who is not a noble .

She said calmly: "Master Marquis, I have learned about the aristocratic system of Ursus. What you said is too exaggerated. In fact, this status does not restrict me."

Seeing this, Carolin took a puff of a cigarette and said, "Lilian, I just don't want you to make a wrong decision."

"I don't think it was the wrong decision."

"No, you are too young and have experienced too little, and we have spent half our lives on the battlefield. The battlefield is definitely not a good place. Believe me, Lilian, when you regret it one day, everything is possible. It's too late."

"Why don't I know? You only notice that I am young, but you can't see everything I have experienced. Some things are difficult, full of twists and turns, and dangerous, but someone has to do it."

Caroline said in a deep voice: "Someone will do it, and you are not alone in the battlefield."

White Wolf retorted without hesitation: "If everyone thinks this way, the suffering of the infected will never end."

"You will be threatened with death at any time."

"I'm mentally prepared."

"Don't forget that your aristocratic status is doomed to be concealed. No matter how much you pay, you will never become a hero of the infected."

"Master Marquis, I never thought of becoming a so-called hero."

"Even so, there is no future in the cause of the integrated movement, and you face the most brutal failure possible."

"Even if it fails, the victim can at least light the first candle."

Carolin sighed, and looked at the white wolf helplessly: "It seems that I can't convince you anymore."

For a moment, the White Wolf saw the shadow of General Herag in the old man. Both of them were trying to persuade her to leave the integration movement, but she gave the same reply.

In Herag's eyes, Carolin is a traitor who is only interested in profit. Leaving aside this chaotic misunderstanding, the two old men, Herag and Carolin, are actually the same kind of people in a sense.

The white wolf lowered his head and said softly: "I understand that you are thinking of me, but I really can't give up."

Caroline nodded wearily and disappointed, and said: "The business is still in accordance with what Kelsey said. Your batch of supplies has already arrived in Winterfell. I have contacted Bodrokas, and he will send someone to Go get it. Also, I guess the collection of food on the snowy field will be a problem, if it is not enough, just ask people to go to the Chamber of Commerce in Winterfell to buy it, I have already arranged these things, so don’t worry.”

He waved his hand exhaustedly, indicating that the white wolf could leave.

Bai Lang bowed guiltily and apologetically, then lowered his head, and left the room with light steps. She was really sorry for this old man who wholeheartedly helped him.

However, as soon as the white wolf's front foot left, Carolin sat up again, his exhaustion was swept away, and he re-lighted his pipe energetically, with a sly smile in his small eyes.

A young man is a young man, and he finds the weakness of the other party with only a few words at the end.

Lilian is exactly the same as her adoptive father. They are both tough on the surface, but they are easy to soften their hearts.There is still a long time to come, as long as we grasp this point and make use of it, sooner or later we will be able to extract the opponent from the integration movement.

He let out a long puff of smoke, recalled the past again, lowered his head and said to himself: "You have saved me so many times, I will do my best to keep your descendants safe no matter what."

……

The white wolf walked alone in the corridor silently, and the various things she experienced made her fall into thinking again.

Was the persuasion of Herag and Caroling really wrong?

Was her decision impulsive?

Going back to my original intention, when I just left Columbia, didn't I decide not to cause trouble, not get in trouble, and go to Rhodes Island for medical treatment in a proper manner?

Since when did you not feel like yourself?

Herag once said that self-sacrifice is an irresistible passion.

Are you also intoxicated by it?Even a savior as lofty as the one in Lateran religious legends can only sacrifice His Son. So the person who sacrifices himself is not more noble than the gods at the moment of sacrifice?

sacrifice?

Incomparable temptation, fanatic's deception!
