Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Log

The doctor replied: "Of course, Lord Marquis said, let me tell her as soon as you wake up, and I will inform you now."

White Wolf nodded: "I'm sorry."

After the doctor left, the white wolf folded Tallulah's note and put it away. Hearing the whistling of the wind, he turned around and looked out through the window. The wind is strong tonight, and it must be cold outside. sharp.

……

In the north of Koros City, on the dark tundra, the cold wind charged like cavalry in formation.

Draco, who was walking, tightened her clothes. In this weather, even she felt a little bit of chill. If Miss White Wolf was around, she would definitely be jumping in a hurry.

She smiled slightly, and couldn't help but turn around and look back.

Behind is empty.

She was stabbed in the heart, turned her head lonely, and comforted herself:

Her goal has been achieved, and Miss White Wolf will no longer have to be with danger any more. This is what she hopes for in her heart, and it is the best thing. She should go back happily.

Talula walked a few more steps, stopped again, and finally took a look at the glazed lights of the city, and then walked to the depths of the tundra alone without looking back.

Chapter 58 Two Knighthoods

Seven days later, in the villa on the eastern outskirts of Koros City.

White Wolf, who has recovered, is discussing matters related to the mining company with Carolin.

Previously, they had finalized the issue of the distribution of benefits for the cooperation. Caroline entrusted Lilian to coordinate and solve various problems encountered by mining companies, including but not limited to ore surveying, mining, recruitment of operators, recruitment of technical personnel, mine security, commercial Channel contact, etc.In return, the integration movement can get 49% of the mining company's net profit.

What Carolin meant was to be a hands-off shopkeeper, doing nothing except for the initial investment, leaving everything to Lilian, and only needing to count the money at the right time.

Bai Lang thought that he and Ms. Doumiao had also opened a technology company in Longmen. At that time, she was the hands-off shopkeeper, and she was very relaxed. He didn't expect that Feng Shui would turn, and now it was her turn to do this kind of work.

When I have a chance, I have to go to Miss Dou Miao to exchange experiences, she thought.

But it is estimated that what she can learn will be very limited. After all, the complexity and difficulty of what she has to do is not on the same level as that of bean sprouts. The conditions in the north of Usas are harsh, and there is no safe and stable environment like Longmen. It is difficult to recruit, coupled with the complicated domestic situation, there are too many things to consider.

Today, the discussion between Carolin and White Wolf got stuck, and the two had a dispute over a seemingly unimportant issue.

Carolin's idea was to have White Wolf take the role of Lilian as the chief executive of the company, but White Wolf disagreed. She was worried that using the name Lilian would make the nobles aware of it, which would not be conducive to her returning to the integration movement. So he proposed to use the pseudonym of Olysia.

Caroline roughly understood Lilian's thoughts, and after a bit of arguing between the two sides, they finally agreed with White Wolf and changed to the pseudonym of Olysia.

As a Marquis who is good at planning, Caroline's habit is to play a full set. He asked Lilian for information about Olyssia, and planned to try to construct such a 'true' identity.

To his surprise, Lilian told him that Aulishia had really existed. After listening to Lilian's explanation, he had other ideas in his mind, but it still appeared to be a normal discussion.

The rest is trivial, but I have to say that these things are equally important. Lilian made a request that she needs a salary of at least [-] Longmen coins per month.

Previously, Carolin completely ignored this point. He forgot that although the integration movement could earn a lot of profits, Lilian, the 'beating worker', didn't have any money.This result made him extremely embarrassed, the elders would be stabbed in the back for doing this.

So, he smiled calmly: "I was about to tell you about this, but I didn't expect you to say it first. Hey, you are still too young. No matter who you are talking about, don't talk about the bottom line at the beginning when talking about salary."

"Then you will open one?" Bai Lang said indifferently, she didn't know how much she wanted, anyway, she thought it was enough to spend.

Carolin habitually wanted to double the amount to show his magnanimity. When he got to the point of speaking, he felt that he couldn't do this to his niece, so he changed his words: "According to what you said, pay with Longmen coins, [-] Longmen coins."

The white wolf was startled, then pretended not to care and nodded: "It's okay, that's it."

According to the discussion between the two of them for several days, White Wolf knew that while he was recovering from his injuries, Carolin had already sent personnel to the mining area to carry out infrastructure construction.She also seized the time, and after asking the other party to pay half a month's salary in advance, she quickly packed her things and was ready to take up the post.

According to Caroline, he wanted her to take the guards there, but White Wolf was not used to being surrounded by a crowd, and felt that the result of bringing the guards should be that she came to 'guard' others, or it was not convenient.

She declined the proposal, and only accepted to be accompanied by a Caprini driver called 'Mu', who drove a gray windshield off-road vehicle with snow tires, which was very convenient for moving on the tundra, and more importantly The good thing is, that way she won't freeze.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the driver drove away from the villa in the eastern suburbs, and the white wolf instructed him to drive into the urban area first.

"Miss, what do you want to do in the city?" The driver turned the steering wheel according to the instruction and asked in puzzlement.

"Didn't you say that the workers were sent there a few days ago? I'll buy something to express my condolences." White Wolf explained with a smile.

At the same time, she felt that the driver was addressing her awkwardly, and she wanted to correct the driver to call her by her first name, but suddenly thought that she had already planned to act in the name of Lord Northridge Alysia, it was very strange for a nobleman to be called by her first name Things, had to let it go.

The driver was quite surprised by Bai Lang's answer. He said in surprise, "You are really...they are so lucky."

Bai Lang smiled but didn't answer. She saw a tavern on the street, so she asked him to stop by the side of the road.

After half an hour.

The vodka stored in the tavern was completely removed, and the shop owner helped the big customer to pack the car with a smile on his face, and watched the off-road vehicle leave graciously.

"Miss, have we bought too much? High-grade vodka is not very cheap." The driver drove slowly and asked anxiously.

"Not much, dozens of people take one bottle a day, and it will be gone in half a month." White Wolf said after silently calculating in his heart.

She thought of that banquet again. The price of any bottle of wine at the banquet could be exchanged for hundreds of bottles of ordinary vodka, which was enough to keep Ursus workers happy for a long time.

While the gray off-road vehicle was heading north steadily, Carolin also found the information about Alysia in the file submitted by his subordinates. Combined with what Lilian said, the plan in his heart gradually took shape.

Olyssia, the Lord of North Ridge, was granted a title by inheritance. She is a down-and-out military nobleman. Her parents' death time and age are unknown. Because she is located in the remote northern region, the information is confusing. Apart from her rank, there is no detailed information. Her death is also unknown. Only Talula and others knew about it.

All in all, this is a branch of nobility that has been forgotten by the empire, and Lilian's disguised identity is perfect, but Carolin's thoughts are more than that.

As long as he uses a little tricks and completes the information, he can embellish the fake identity and make this identity come true.

In this way, 'Lilian', who was unwilling to become a nobleman, voluntarily became the nobleman 'Olysia'.

Although he changed his path halfway, didn't he achieve the result he originally wanted?

If he encounters the worst situation in the future and things are exposed, he has also thought of a solution:

Olysia's parents died early, and before she died, she entrusted her daughter to her old friend and renamed her Lilian. In other words, Lilian and Olysia were the same person from the beginning.As a result of the exposure, Lilian needs to inherit two titles.

Chapter 59 Northern Mine

There are two mining areas purchased by the Marquess of Carolingian, one large and one small.

The larger one is in the north of Koros, the outer area of ​​the tundra, the surrounding terrain is flat, and it has been established for decades.Nine years ago, it was abandoned by the Ursus military because the income could not cover the maintenance cost.

Another mining area is located in a deep mountain [-] kilometers southeast of Koros City. After mining the surface ore veins, the Ursas military judged that the production of raw ore in the interior was extremely low. Coupled with the difficulty of transportation in the deep mountain, they directly abandoned the mining area. .

White Wolf's tentative plan is to give priority to the development of the northern mining area, and at the same time handle the business of the integration movement and Rhodes Island. When the integration movement develops to the south, according to the actual situation, the focus of work will be closer to the southern mining area.

This time, the Marquess of Carolinga has recruited more than 30 workers to the northern mining area. The work content is to renovate the mining area facilities nine years ago, establish a residence and a mining research office.

After the construction is completed, White Wolf needs to find a way to recruit workers and technicians, at least to maintain the operation of the mine on the surface.

Before dark, the driver drove the car to the northern mining area.

Although he was mentally prepared, Bailang was still taken aback by the size of the mining area. Regardless of the complicated mine tunnels in the mine, the hollowed out area on the outside is as big as two football fields. From the entrance of the mine to the parking lot It needs to go around several bends, which is a full kilometer long.

Bai Lang looked out of the car window and saw workers gathered at the easternmost side of the mining area from a distance. She had read the construction drawings, and the easternmost side was the future employee living area.

Her eyes are very good. Although she is far away, she can still see that everyone is relaxing at the moment.

drop--

The car horn blared suddenly.

The driver immediately turned his head and apologized to the white wolf: "Sorry, miss, I accidentally bumped into it."

"It's okay." White Wolf nodded, and when he went to see the workers again, everyone was already busy.

She snickered in her heart and asked the driver to park the car next to the construction site first.

The driver didn't ask too many questions, and honestly followed Bailang's instructions and stopped at the east side of the mining area.

The white wolf glanced out and briefly understood the situation on the scene.

Most of the workers are Ursas, wearing dusty old clothes, dirty old felt hats, and holding tools such as iron handles and trowels in their hands. Lines, some moving things, some pushing cement carts, every worker’s eyes are bloodshot, it looks like they haven’t slept well for many days.

The white wolf made a gesture to open the car door, but the driver next to him suddenly reminded: "Miss, it's not convenient to get out of the car here, it's windy outside, it hurts your clothes."

This simple reminder reminded her of the old things in Colombia. While she was deeply moved, she waved to the driver, opened the door, and walked down against the biting cold wind.

The driver also opened the door from the other side and stood not far behind her.

Bai Lang noticed that when he got out of the car, the workers all fell silent and worked hard one by one.Not far away, the person in charge of the film, covered in dust and with frozen muddy water on his feet, trotted over and said hastily:

"My lord, the progress of the project is advancing according to the original plan, that's right, that's right." Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he lowered his head and said in a breath, "The wind has been very strong these days. Woke up in the middle of the night to work, but still a little behind schedule. But rest assured, we'll be on schedule anyway."

"Don't be in such a hurry." White Wolf shook his head and said softly, "Since it's a special situation, it doesn't matter if the construction period is a few days late. Let everyone take a rest."

The person in charge said nervously: "My lord, we are not tired."

The workers who were closest to him heard the conversation here, and they all quietly glanced over.

White Wolf smiled: "You have worked very hard. There are things in the car for you. Today's work ends here. Everyone, take a rest and start tomorrow afternoon."

"But according to the plan..." The person in charge couldn't believe what he heard, and was still hesitating.

"What I said is the plan." White Wolf said without doubt.

At this time, the driver had already moved the box of vodka with special cooperation and put it on the ground. The white wolf turned around, took out a bottle from the box, and shook it lightly at the workers who were staring straight at him: "Guess what? What is it?"

"Vodka." A young Ursus worker threw away his shovel and shouted excitedly. As if the other workers were infected, they put their shovels and carts on the spot and cheered.

White Wolf tossed the vodka in his hand to the first worker who spoke, and then stepped aside, watching everyone excitedly go to the driver to receive this 'traditional drink'.

The bottle of vodka she threw at the beginning was fought over by several workers, and the person who got it seemed to have got a holy object.

She felt a little awkward and embarrassed about it, but after a while her mind gradually relaxed and she thought of more things, leaving only an uncontrollable sadness in her heart.

White Wolf only stood there for a stick of incense before his lips turned pale from the cold, and she began to miss the ferret fur coat that Tallulah bought for her, but it was a pity that the coat had been damaged in the battle with the inner guard .

The windbreaker she was wearing now was still a bit too thin, she said goodbye to the driver while thinking, recalling the layout map of the mining area she had seen before, and went to her residence.

Her room was the first to be repaired, and it should have been completed for many days by now.

She found the place and opened the door with a key. The first thing she saw was a small office room, followed by a bedroom. There was no living room. In other words, the office was just the living room.Although the furnishings are simple, it is very rare considering the environment here.

The room was connected to electricity early on. It is said that there are a total of twelve large-scale Originium generators installed in the mining area, ten for mining and two for daily electricity consumption.

She searched around the two rooms inside and outside, but she didn't see the heating equipment she was thinking about. It seems that when decorating, everyone acquiesced to the habit of northerners not being afraid of the cold, and didn't take this into consideration at all. Think of ways to.

It is not worth the effort to install an air-conditioning system in this kind of place. Excessive temperature difference can turn any heat engine that relies on the Carnot cycle into a huge energy-consuming beast. Therefore, she plans to buy herself a small electric heater another day. Use it by your side.

The cold nights are bitter and long.

She boiled water for herself with a kettle, poured it into a cup and held it in the palm of her hand, and sat alone in silence, while the Ursas folk songs sung by the workers in unison faintly came to her ears.

The wind was too loud, and she couldn't hear the lyrics clearly. She could only judge from the tone that it was a cheerful ballad.

They are poor workers living in the outskirts of the city, suffering all the hardships of life. However, a bottle of wine after fatigue can make them sing and dance happily, giving birth to joy from the heart.

She fell into a strange confusion, and happened to have a brand new bottle of vodka by her side. She poured out the boiling water and filled a glass for herself.

Chapter 60 Northern Mines II

Just taking a sip, a pungent and pungent smell rushed to the door, White Wolf's nose became sore, tears flowed out, and he coughed violently.

It took a while for her to recover, regretting secretly in her heart, white wolf, white wolf, why are you so hard on yourself, this 'water of life' is something you can touch?

She remembered that in the past, whenever she touched this kind of thing, she would choke to tears every time, and a wave of resentment suddenly arose.

Why?

Others can drink it, why can't she drink it?

She stared at the vodka in the glass bitterly, picked it up directly, hesitated for a while, and decided to drink it directly.

The cup came to his mouth and stopped suddenly.

She thought silently in her heart: I spilled the wine when I choked just now, it's only half a glass, if I want to drink it, I'll have a whole glass.

She put the glass on the table and was about to fill it up with the wine bottle. Miraculously, her right hand accidentally got the hot water jug ​​next to it.

Oh, why are you so careless.

It doesn't matter, a hot water pot is a hot water pot, as long as it can be full.

She filled the cup with a hot water bottle, but found that she had poured too much, the glass was full, and would overflow if she was not careful, so she poured out more than half of the mixed drink in the glass, and then filled the hot water bottle again. superior.

Now, everything was done. She sat on the stool, held a warm cup, and drank a large glass of vodka without changing her expression, like a real Ursa.

After drinking a glass of wine, Bai Lang felt more and more bored. She lay down on the table, stared blankly at the glass, and imagined what the little friends she knew were doing now.

Canangel and Texas may be having a party at this point; Tallulah should be having dinner with Alina; Skadi may find a tavern and drink one cup in silence; Platinum, um, Miss Platinum Should be still at work.

She couldn't help laughing suddenly.

To be honest, Miss White Wolf doesn't think she is bad, and she has never doubted her own loyalty to her friends, but when she thinks of Miss Platinum complaining about her bad luck and working overtime, her mood will become happy.
