Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

Volume 2: Chapter 88 Return to Qie City I

After listening to White Wolf's strange remarks, Skadi's mood became cheerful. She suddenly had the desire to say something to him, but she didn't know how to start.

Instead, the restless White Wolf started talking again:

"Skadi, tell me about your experience in Rhodes Island."

"Okay, what do you want to hear?"

"How much does Kal'tsit pay you?" White Wolf's eyes sparkled. She really wanted to know how much money a cash-strapped company like Rhodes Island would pay to hire a bounty hunter of Skadi's level.

However, Skadi said without hesitation: "No salary, I have a special agreement with Rhodes Island."

"No salary? You were introduced by Frank, right? Then how do you get the money for your daily expenses?"

"I don't know Frank, but you don't have to worry about this problem in Rhodes Island. Outside, you can earn bounties by taking on missions."

"I see. With your skills, you will definitely have no shortage of missions."

"You can say that, but I don't take on missions I don't like. If a mission turns out to be different from what I expected, I will handle it according to my own wishes, so..."

"So many people don't dare to cooperate with you?" Bai Lang couldn't help but continue.

"Well, the people I work with are usually a fixed number of people. We are familiar with each other, and many things are convenient."

"You really do whatever you want. By the way, are you here on a mission as well?"

"Yes, I originally planned to return to Rhodes Island directly after completing the mission."

"Hehe, I didn't expect that you would be held back by me." White Wolf had no awareness of causing trouble for others.

"Well, I was held back by you." Skadi couldn't help but chuckle.

The two continued to chat casually, but as time went on and the sun became hotter, the communication gradually stopped.

Winter is coming to the north of Ursus in early September, but in the south near the city of Che, summer has just passed and heat is still the main theme here.

I don't know how far they have walked. The sun is about to reach the center of the sky. White Wolf couldn't help feeling thirsty, so she took out the half bottle of water left in the morning and drank a sip. She noticed that Miss Skadi didn't drink a sip of water the whole way, so she couldn't help but persuade her:

"Skadi, drink some water and take a rest. The weather is too hot."

"I'm not thirsty. It's not far anymore. Let's finish the walk in one breath." Skadi's voice was unnatural, which was a condition that only people with hoarse throats would have.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of drinking water, White Wolf decided to take direct action. She raised her chin and hooked it on Skadi's left shoulder. Then, while the other party was confused, she freed her right hand and grabbed the water bag hanging around the other party's waist.

As long as the water is brought to her, Skadi will definitely not refuse it.

But she immediately realized something was wrong. The water bag was too light. Uh, there was nothing in it!

This Skadi was actually lying! She had clearly said in the morning that there was a full bag of drinking water inside. But she quickly guessed the reason in her heart, and secretly felt a little grateful.

While Skadi didn't know what she was doing, White Wolf gently put down the water bag, then opened his own water bottle, held it in his right hand, and slowly handed it to Skadi's mouth.

"Water, drink some."

"I'm not thirsty, drink it yourself." Skadi tilted her head to the left, not looking at the water in front of her, "There's plenty in my water bag."

"I know, but drink it anyway."

After Skadi refused again, White Wolf suddenly used her trump card. She said with sudden enlightenment:

"I understand. You just don't want to drink what I've drunk. It's a waste of our friendship. Never mind. In that case, I'll help you get the water bag and you can drink your own."

As an Agor who grew up in the sea, Skadi had never seen such a sinister intention. She was so panicked for a moment that she just grabbed the water bottle in front of her and took a sip hastily.

Her thirst was somewhat relieved, and after drinking a mouthful of water, she was reluctant to put it down, and just wanted to drink up the contents of the bottle. In fact, from yesterday afternoon till now, Skadi had not had a drop of water at all. This lack of water was more unbearable for the Agors than for others.

However, with her self-control, she still restrained herself after drinking a sip. She believed that Bai Lang had lost blood and had a high fever before, and must need these things more than she did.

"Drink a little more." White Wolf suggested in her ear.

"No, I'm not thirsty anymore."

"No, you're thirsty!"

"I'm not thirsty."

"Then I threw away the water bottle."

"No." Skadi was shocked. "Why throw it away?"

"You are not thirsty, I am not thirsty, so why keep it?" The White Wolf pretended to be confused.

"Water is very scarce here. It would be a shame to throw it away." Skadi explained quickly, fearing that the White Wolf would really throw away the bottle.

"You still have a whole water bag, enough for us." White Wolf said indifferently. She was lying on Skadi's left shoulder at the moment, secretly glancing at her profile to observe the reaction of this red-eyed girl.

She discovered that Miss Skadi, who seemed so calm, could actually have such rich expressions: confusion, dullness, helplessness, which flashed by in succession and finally turned into a sigh.

"I'll drink it. It can't be wasted."

After Skadi finished speaking, she drank all the water in the bottle, even the last few drops dripped into her mouth, and finally threw away the empty bottle with satisfaction.

She heard a snicker next to her left ear, so she tilted her head to see what White Wolf was laughing at. Because it happened suddenly, the action almost hit the other person's nose, and then the two people's faces were suddenly pressed together.

They could hear each other's breath and were both stunned at the same time. Skadi was the first to react and quickly turned her face back to face the front.

As a knowledgeable and experienced bounty hunter, she quickly adjusted her emotions, but the scene she just saw was engraved in her heart.

Beneath that weak face with a lingering smile were dry, pale lips.

What a cunning Rupert, Skadi touched the remaining water stains at the corner of her mouth and sighed in her heart.

But there won't be a second time, she told herself.

In the following time, neither of them spoke. After all, in this kind of weather, precious water would be consumed if they opened their mouths.

At noon, Qiecheng finally appeared before them.

Skadi didn't listen to the White Wolf and carried him all the way to a place not far from the city gate before putting him down.

As soon as Bai Lang's feet touched the ground, she tried to walk a few steps on the ground with the help of her sword. She was staggering and unsteady. She immediately complained to the people around her:

"It's all your fault. If you had put me down earlier, I would be used to walking now."

Miss Skadi folded her arms and pretended not to hear.

White Wolf had no choice but to continue speaking: "It is inconvenient for me to walk alone, so I need you to support me from now on. From now on, I am the injured nobleman. How about you act as my follower?"

Skadi had no objection and nodded in agreement happily. It was obvious that she was very interested in this novel game.

Volume 2: Chapter 89 Return to Qie City II

Not far from the city gate, White Wolf, supported by Skadi, stopped again and said earnestly:

"Later, you have to act out the superiority of a noble follower and have that kind of arrogant temperament, understand?"

"An arrogant temperament? Is he in the state of wanting to fight?" Skadi asked confusedly.

"No, I mean that kind of temperament. How about this, when the time comes, if someone interrogates you, just don't say a word, just snort coldly at most." Bai Lang racked his brains to think of a solution.

Her worries were not without reason. Pretending to be a noble who was injured and unable to move, but only accompanied by a follower, this combination would look strange no matter where. If it attracted the attention of the Ursus officials, the consequences could be very serious.

Although Miss Orca still didn't understand why she snorted, she saw the other party's worry and comforted him according to her own thoughts:

"Don't be afraid. If anyone dares to touch you, I will beat them all away."

"We are going into the city, not to fight." White Wolf said, feeling both moved and amused.

"So, the target is that wall? Well, it's not impossible, but it will be very troublesome later." Skadi stroked his chin and thought, "We can go to a place with fewer people and make a smaller hole, how about that?"

"No, Che City is a mobile city, different from the one on the ground. Just pretend I didn't say anything and let's go straight there."

She is ready to be an actress again.

With Skadi's help, White Wolf walked step by step to the city gate. Sure enough, guards came over immediately.

Generally speaking, when facing nobles, the guards' normal attitude should be to salute and let them pass. In this case, it is most likely that they are suspicious.

The guard in black uniform walked to two meters in front of the white wolf, bowed, and then said respectfully: "Sir, welcome to Chernobyl. You seem to be injured now. Do you need our help to contact the hospital?"

"Thank you, but it's not necessary." White Wolf said calmly.

"I see. I'm the captain of the guard appointed by Marquis Boris. May I ask what important business you have in coming to Checheng this time?" The guard was still very respectful. He bent over to hide the tentative look in his eyes. The other guards at the city gate also cast their glances over here intentionally or unintentionally.

Skadi sensed something was wrong. She frowned and quietly reached for the sword, but was caught in the middle. She looked up in surprise and saw the White Wolf shaking his head slightly at her.

The next moment, White Wolf turned to the guard, with a strange smile on her face. She raised her sword, gently touched the guard's shoulder with the tip of the scabbard, and spoke slowly:

"Do I need to report to you what I am going to do?"

Her expression was not ferocious at all, and could even be said to be very kind. However, after she finished speaking, the guard's face suddenly turned pale, his mouth trembled and he could not speak.

"Okay, tell your Marquis that I have no ill intentions in coming here, and ask him to leave me alone."

White Wolf retracted his weapon and signaled with his eyes to Skadi, who was watching the show with great interest next to him. The two of them slowly walked towards the city as the guards watched them.

"Why did that man stop talking later?" Skadi asked curiously as they left the city gate.

"Of course you were frightened by my aura." White Wolf boasted shamelessly.

"Oh, what does aura mean?"

"As for the aura, this, this, it's hard to explain. Anyway, it's very powerful." She felt like she had punched cotton, so she just laughed it off.

At this moment, at the city gate, the guards finally found hot water to melt the captain's frozen mouth.

"How is it? How is it?" a group of people asked in unison.

"It's terrible, it's terrible." The captain, who had just thawed, was still mumbling, "She is definitely a real aristocrat. She spoke in that tone, do you understand? That cat-and-mouse tone, ah, it's so hateful, so terrible! She then tapped me, and I was almost frozen stiff. If she hadn't considered Lord Boris's face, I might have... oh!"

"Ah, this is too cruel."

"These military nobles are all like this. Don't be fooled by their appearance."

"Then if she comes here, wouldn't it be very dangerous for the Marquis? Let's find someone to keep an eye on her."

“Who’s going to watch?”

"Let's choose you. You came up with this idea, so it will be safer if you go there yourself." The captain wanted to make the decision right away.

"Ah? I definitely can't do that. Captain, you know that although I can give advice, my skills are the worst among us and I will definitely be exposed."

"That's right." The captain nodded and looked at another guard.

"Captain, you know that my family is in financial difficulty and I have other work in my spare time."

The third person spoke without waiting for the captain to ask, "Captain, you know that my eyesight is not good. I can't tell men from women at a distance of ten meters. I don't even know who I'm staring at."

"Captain, you know I'm ninety years old..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking, I'm going!"

"Captain, you are such a nice person. I will go and have a drink with peace of mind later." The last team member added happily.

Volume 2: Chapter 90 Return to Qie City III

The captain of the guard's tracking skills were quite sophisticated. He stayed far behind the target and, relying on his familiarity with the environment, he always knew the target's location.

Following the trail all the way, he found himself gradually approaching a secluded and dark corner of the city.

Why would a noble come to a place like this? There must be something wrong!

He was guessing the real purpose of the two people when he suddenly found that the target was gone.

Ahead was an old street where no sunlight could penetrate. The target might have turned into a small alley. He quickened his pace and hurriedly chased after him at the alley entrance.

The alley runs left and right. On the left is a dark corridor, which is empty and no one can be seen.

On the right, there were a bunch of moldy and worn wooden boards piled up, and two raggedly dressed kids were sitting on the boards with their backs to him, playing games.

He clearly remembered that the target disappeared from here, and these two children might have clues. He quickly came up with an idea, put his hand in his pocket, and took out a lollipop.

At this time, on the shabby balcony on the second floor, White Wolf stopped Skadi from taking action directly: "Wait a moment."

She looked around and pointed to something at Skadi. It was the camera in the corner. "Deal with that first."

Skadi nodded, broke off a small piece from the balcony's iron fence, and quickly formed a small iron ball into it as White Wolf stared in amazement, and threw it towards the camera with a whoosh.

Under the balcony, the captain of the guard held a lollipop and tempted, "Little boy, tell uncle if you saw two people passing by here? Tell me and it will be yours."

"I see, but one is not enough. I need two to tell you. We each get one."

The captain of the guard hesitated for a moment. He did have two lollipops in his pocket, but he originally wanted to bring them to his daughter. But in an instant, he made a decision. The mission was more important. This military noble with a weird temper was definitely a dangerous person. He would not bring anything for Xiao Ai today.
