Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

"Well, let's change the way. What do you want Mandela to wear this dress? After all, Mr. Tailor worked so hard to make it."

Bai Hua asked Mandela back, and Mao Mao was stunned for a moment when she heard it, and then began to seriously think about what bargaining chip she needed to be willing to wear this dress.

"By the way - if you smile, Shirakaba, I'll wear this dress... how about it?"

Mandela seemed to have thought of something, she put on an expression of enlightenment, and raised her ears expectantly.

"Smile?"

Gray Wolf blinked. At first glance, Mandela's request seemed a bit too...simple.

"Yeah, Bai Hua, you always look cold no matter what, if you just smile a little, I promise you—how about that?"

Mandela looked at Baihua expectantly. From the time the two first met until now, Mandela had never seen a smile on Baihua's face.

"Actually, I should have laughed too, maybe you just didn't see it—is that okay?"

Bai Hua pondered whether he had never laughed before, but Gray Wolf looked at Mandela with blue-gold eyes this time, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved upwards.

"Yeah, it's okay... well, isn't this a good laugh."

Facing the gray wolf's smile, Mandela blinked, and shyly shifted her eyes slightly.

"You need to smile more in the future, stupid protein birch!"

"Yes, yes, anyway, please put on this dress, Miss Mandela who loves to laugh."

Bai Hua handed the dress to Mandela.

"Woooo..."

Now that she couldn't go back and forth, Mandela had no choice but to accept the suit with great reluctance, and then walked slowly into the corner of the room.

Not long after, Mandela, who had changed into new clothes, was lying behind the door frame, a little nervous and embarrassed, not daring to come out. She hesitated for a long time before slowly moving her body out of the cover of the wall.

"It's lovely, Mandela."

"Wow wow... No, there is no such thing...!"

Bai Hua's straight ball complimented the critical hit, and Mandela, who had finally mustered up the courage to walk out, quickly retreated to the corner.

"I'm not kidding, it's really cute, and it's also very suitable for you—don't really think that you are not qualified to turn into a butterfly just because you have always been a 'bug' hiding in the corner, first throw away those inferiority complex Just set aside, she is obviously very beautiful now, Mandela."

Bai Hua spoke seriously, then slowly approached Mandela, reached out and gently rubbed the mandela's head.

"How can a guy like me..."

Although Mandela still wanted to refute, but her head cooperated with gently rubbing back and forth on Bai Hua's hand.

Mandela had been worried that wearing such specially made and exquisite clothes would be a waste, but with Bai Hua's encouragement, she finally took a step away from the self-evaluation of a 'bug'.

"So, why do you want me to wear this kind of clothes, Birch?"

Mandela was still a little shy and awkward, but she also slowly accepted the black dress she was wearing.

"Of course it's to pretend to be a nobleman."

"Eh?"

Mandela blinked her eyes, her small gaze was full of big doubts.

——The urban area of ​​Connor County, 10 kilometers away from the village——

"Unlike Ursus, the steam technology on Victoria's side is more developed."

"Wow meow..."

"I haven't noticed it before. In fact, the infrastructure here is already very powerful."

"Woo meow..."

"Could it be that scones are sold over there? Suck..."

"Suck it..."

On the streets of Connor County, Birch in a dark coat and Mandela in a black dress and scarf were walking on the street.

From the beginning to the end, Bai Hua maintained a calm posture with ease, and even had time to appreciate and observe the surrounding Victorian customs.

As for Mandela next to Bai Hua, she is walking on thin ice. The cat's eyes are constantly wandering left and right, and the nervousness can be seen at a glance. She has no intention of paying attention to the surrounding environment. The wolves swallowed together.

"Relax, Mandela. No one will doubt us. It is impossible for the young master of the Dougs family to mobilize his troops to hunt down two low-level citizens. It will only make him a laughing stock among other people, and the current disguise of you and me is absolutely impossible. connected with the past."

There is no need for Bai Hua to be too nervous to appease Mandela. After cross-dressing, unless he bumps into that nobleman suddenly, he will never be seen through his identity.

This place is not in the palace, and even if it is really unlucky to meet that Dougs, he can directly make a profit before he dispatches troops to search and arrest.

"I'm not nervous, I'm just...well, I just hate it, yes, I hate having to get in touch with that white wolf noble."

Mandela said bluntly that he was not afraid, but disgusted.

"exactly."

"That's right, stupid protein birch...!"

Mandela secretly gnawed on Birch's tail, but thanks to this, she calmed down a little.

"Anyway, we're going to meet the current White Wolf in a while, so just put on a disguise, no problem, Mandela?"

"No problem at all--"

Mandela nodded, but her walking posture was still a little guilty and humble.

"Be a little more confident, Mandela."

Hearing Bai Hua's instruction, Mandela immediately assumed a domineering posture with his hands on his hips.

"...This is a bit too pretentious."

"Well, what on earth are you going to do, stupid protein birch!"

Mandela frowned directly, and Bai Hua could only sigh, saying that it is really impossible to let go of herself.

The two came to the agreed meeting place, an inconspicuous park.

Bai Hua was far away on the bench and saw the long light blonde hair, almost exactly the same as the little girl in the doctor's photo, except that she had grown up a lot.

"..."

Mandela also blinked her eyes. She didn't feel the aura of nobility from the white wolf, but could only feel the ability and meticulousness of a soldier.

"Hello, Miss Rita Scamanderros."

When Mandela was still a little confused, Bai Hua had already taken the initiative to come to the girl's side, and reached out to greet the Lupu girl who was full of military aura.

"you are--"

"Please call me Baihua. This is my sister Mandela. We are businessmen in Connor County, that's all."

Bai Hua introduced herself, and by the way, she extended her hand to introduce Mandela, who hadn't entered the scene yet.

"Hello, Mr. Baihua. You are... younger than I expected."

The new Earl of White Wolf named 'Rita' blinked. The gray wolf in front of her didn't seem to match the outline she had originally drawn in her mind.

"To be honest, my father contacted me suddenly, saying that a former comrade-in-arms had introduced a wealthy businessman and nobleman. Seek cooperation."

White Wolf glanced at Baihua and Mandela. Although their clothes were not famous brands, they were certainly not cheap.

"I have always respected the blood of the White Wolf family. You have brought unimaginable glory and victory to Victoria—sorry, I am not here to discuss such spiel today, Miss Rita."

Bai Hua crammed to read the history of Victoria temporarily, so that the other party wouldn't ask her what she didn't know during the meeting.

"Actually, I know that you graduated from the Royal Victorian Guards College and are currently serving as a non-commissioned officer in the Second Army. At the same time, I am also very clear-your goal is not only that, but if you want to have your own most For the top troops, you still need a meritorious service to promote yourself, right?"

"...your investigations are meticulous, and indeed they are."

Rita didn't hesitate much, and nodded in agreement with Bai Hua's words.

Most of the time, promotion in the army depends on the record, but if you want to become an officer, you need the badge of merit as a stepping stone.

"Fortunately, we happen to have this 'merit' - sister."

Bai Hua looked at Mandela, and passed the topic to Mao Mao.

"Eh? Well... yes, Bai Hua and I... brother, when we were investing, we noticed that Mr. Dougs, a nobleman in the area, violated some regulations prohibited by Victorian laws, but we don't have a formal status." ’ to announce these prohibited regulations, but if it’s Earl White Wolf—Miss Rita, the ‘reason’ will become legitimate, and the ‘credibility’ will be guaranteed.”

Mandela stammered and said this, and Bai Hua, who was beside her, said in her heart, 'My cat is mature'.

"I probably understand, but what is your purpose?"

White Wolf vigilantly asks Bai Hua why he made this deal with himself.

"This is just a very common industry cooperation. The noble Daugs has adjusted the taxation of this city-state to an incomprehensible level, which has seriously affected our business. If the noble Daugs can be brought down, it will be great for us For anyone, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

Bai Hua said the words prepared in advance, and there was no problem at first glance.

"I understand."

White Wolf nodded, then got up and looked at Bai Hua——

"Please allow me to decline this invitation."

"--Eh?"

Bai Hua blinked, and Bai Hua, who had never shown much expression on the situation, this time showed a troubled expression that she didn't understand.

"Perhaps this is indeed a good deal, but our White Wolf family will no longer take the initiative to conflict with other families. As for the troops, I believe that I have the ability and determination to get promoted to organize my own assault team. "

After speaking, the white wolf was ready to leave.

"—"

Bai Hua was a little stunned, he didn't understand why Bai Lang would choose to refuse.

I obviously exchanged benefits with others according to the process of Kelsey and the others, but it turned out like this?

Although Bai Hua had a little more experience than others at this time, she still lacked some firepower in the way of dealing with the world.

Although most people pay attention to the trade-offs of pros and cons, there are also some people, what is needed to communicate with them is not 'exchange of interests', but 'sincerity'.

In the face of a person who needs "sincerity", talking about her interests will only do a disservice to her.

"Sure enough—you nobles are all carved out of the same mold...!"

Just before the light-blond long-haired Lupu girl left, Mandela suddenly called out.

"Mandra?"

Bai Hua was also a little stunned, there was no such process in the conversation prepared in advance.

"Although it sounds good on the lips, they are basically the same stuff! You guys will only watch us die. Perhaps the biggest difference is whether you will use the way we are killed. Have fun!"

"Mandra, calm down—"

Bai Hua hurriedly tried to stop Mandela, and if she continued to speak, it might cause serious consequences.

"You just said 'you'—who are you and Mr. Bai Hua?"

The girl with light blond hair frowned, and Mandela's words made her doubt the identity of the two.

"That's right, we are not nobles or rich businessmen at all, but you nobles who will never see you and can only hide in the shadows. That's all! This kind of person is forced to live by those animals in gorgeous costumes." Death, in your eyes, is just a string of numbers, right!"

"Calm down, don't do this again—"

"...Can you tell me in detail about what Duke Dougs has done?"

White Wolf stopped leaving. She looked at Mandela and Bai Hua, but this time she took the initiative to ask.

Chapter 221

"The Dodgers family... I heard that this family has provided a lot of indelible credit to the turbulent Victoria in the past, but I never thought that the current Dodgers family will become like this-if you say It's true."

In the park, the light-blond Lupus girl known as the "Earl of the White Wolf" quietly listened to the various behaviors of the nobles Daugs towards the city-state under his jurisdiction during this period, and then frowned and asked about Baihua and Mande. Pull, are these things real.

"Believe it or not, you'll know if you go and see for yourself! Or are you high-ranking nobles who can't even look down at the people under your feet?"

Mandela still responded a little bit angrily, but the girl didn't care about Mandela's complaining tone.

"I've worked in the military most of the time, so I really don't know about these things—but just based on your description, the situation of the Dodgers family is already very serious. Why didn't you tell me this in the first place?"

The white wolf frowned and asked Bai Hua, she didn't know why the gray wolf in front of her deliberately pretended to be a "rich businessman" in the first place to take advantage of the interests and try to bind each other.

"I thought it would be easier to promote future cooperation in this way, because most nobles will value benefits more. Compared with the way of 'who can help by doing this', 'what benefits can you get by doing this' may be more intuitive and concise... I thought so before."

Bai Hua frowned and responded softly, while the girl sighed and shook her head.
