Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Log

Some dinner guests stood in twos and threes on the straight road, pointing to the magnificent building in front of them and commenting.Tallulah turned her head and whispered to the white wolf, "Lilian?"

Bai Lang also replied in a low voice: "It's my childhood name, you can still call me Bai Lang."

"Yes, Miss Lillian."

Miss Long Nu felt that her arm was twisted, and said quickly: "Well, White Wolf, I remember you said that Caroline knew your father."

"I said it."

Talula said again: "Looking at it now, I'm afraid it's not as simple as knowing each other."

"Xiaota, you've learned to talk nonsense too," White Wolf said, rolling his eyes at Miss Longnu, "My adoptive father didn't mention his old friends in Ursus, so I was also very confused."

Tallulah didn't care about her partner's white eyes, and continued, "Maybe you are actually relatives? Well, it's hard to say, anyway, don't take it lightly."

"I know."

There is a circular fountain at the entrance of the banquet hall. There are small white stone sculptures on both sides of the fountain, namely a goshawk and a lion. Both sculptures are bowed and raised, guarding the large stone sculpture in the middle - one raised its palm and looked back, majestic Brilliant giant bear.

Bypassing the fountain, you will arrive at the entrance of the banquet hall. There are three steps in the banquet hall. On each floor, there are uniformed waiters standing in a figure-eight shape as a whole.

There are towels, water and other items on the waiter's plate. The towels are high-end white velvet towels, but they are used as disposable items and are constantly replaced. There are flower petals floating in the water, which should only be used for washing hands here.

Following Tallulah's example, White Wolf poured some water on his hands, then took the towel from the second waiter, wiped it symbolically, and walked into the Ballroom.

The entire hall is a true interpretation of the four characters of magnificence, with flawless white jade walls, golden wall decorations with complicated patterns, silver candlesticks, and red silk satin carpets.

The suits and leather shoes of the banquetgoers are so elegant and luxurious, all of them are polite and fragrant everywhere, and the waiters shuttle back and forth freely among the crowd with champagne.

When Bai Lang saw this for the first time, his eyes were already dazzled. He stood still and didn't know whether to take the left foot or the right foot first.

Miss Long Nu has been peeking at the white wolf, and seeing the other party's disoriented look, she lightly embraced the white wolf's waist and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, just follow me later."

The white wolf came to his senses and said angrily, "Who is afraid, what is there to be afraid of."

She took a few steps forward, took a glass of champagne from the waiter's plate, and nodded her thanks like the others, then returned to Tallulah, shook the goblet in her hand triumphantly, and said with a smile: " See, Miss Ben doesn’t need you to teach me.”

However, she found that Tallulah was staring at her in a daze, so she waved her hand in front of her angrily and funnyly: "Why are you in a daze, Nuo, this cup is for you, I haven't drunk it yet."

White Wolf stuffed the goblet into Miss Longnv's hand, went over to get a cup for himself, and tried to taste it.

There are many kinds of champagne, different styles are different, and what they have in common is the word "fragrant".As soon as she took it in, she felt a strong citrus fruity aroma in her mouth, which was mixed with the aroma of white wine at the same time. Her tongue and throat were warmed by the alcohol.

The champagne of the Ursas has always been high in alcohol, and the white wolf didn't intend to drink a second glass, so he drank it very carefully, only sipping it in small sips, while looking around the entire hall.

The banquet hall is hollow. The first floor and the second floor share the same roof. Standing on the edge of the white railing on the second floor, you can overlook the entire first floor. White Wolf guessed that the second floor is for the banquet host or distinguished guests.

She saw a few people dressed as businessmen wearing top hats, walking around the second floor under the leadership of the waiter, turned around and entered a room, and disappeared, maybe they were people negotiating business with Caroline.

Chapter 44 Banquet Symphony

The freshness brought by the luxurious dinner didn't last long in Bai Lang's heart, and unlike others, she had many social tasks, so she soon became bored.

She sat down on the white silk sofa in the corner of the banquet hall, quietly watching the scene in front of her.

On the left side of the hall is a long table with all kinds of exquisite dishes and pastries. Every 5 minutes, a waiter will dump some of them and replace them with other flavors. It is said that this long table is in the Tonight, all kinds of cuisines from different countries in Terra will be presented.

White Wolf remembered what happened in the tundra last year. The imperial pickets beat up the villagers in order to collect taxes and food. This kind of thing happened many times every year.

Alina had also told her that the villagers in the north were not afraid of robbers, but they were afraid of imperial soldiers.Because most of the robbers are ordinary people who have nowhere to go, they will leave a bottom line when they grab something, but Ursus soldiers are different. If they can't get something, they will use violence openly, and even take people away and put them into the dark mining area. , and euphemistically called - legitimate law enforcement.

She shifted her gaze to the group of nobles. These people are well-dressed and elegant, and they gather to talk about the past and the present, and all of them are full of witty words. If they talk, I believe they can make people feel like a spring breeze with just a few simple words.

It is true that these people have received higher education, their overall quality is higher, and their vision is longer than ordinary people in the lower class. They must have learned the principles of being sympathetic to the people, being respectful and frugal, and they also know how the times change. , How to rotate between prosperity and death.

But with Yin Jian in front, why do these people ignore the living conditions of civilians?Why must the lower classes be driven to a dead end?

They clearly know it.

She thought of the Yan Kingdom Dali Temple she saw in the library of Rhodes Island. It is said that the most cases that Dali Temple handles every year is bureaucratic corruption and evil. The strange thing is that due to the special official selection system of Yan Kingdom, every bureaucrat is a People who grew up influenced by sage books.

Some people say that these people are not ignorant, they just have no heart.

Why do they have no heart?

White Wolf was still sitting and thinking about things, he didn't notice that the music of the banquet had changed.Tallulah came over, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be in a daze, get up."

"What are you doing?" White Wolf followed Tallulah's instructions, stood up and asked.

Tallulah pointed to the venue and asked, "It's ballroom dancing time now, you're out of place sitting here, how about I dance with you?"

It was only then that White Wolf noticed that in the venue, people were already grouping in pairs, their ears pricked up in fright.

Never said anything like this before!She glared at Miss Longnu resentfully.

Talula hurriedly explained: "I thought this was common sense, you must know it."

White Wolf sat down on the stool and said firmly, "I don't know, I don't jump, I can't."

"I can teach you."

"Don't learn, if you want to dance, just find someone to dance by yourself."

Tallulah rubbed her forehead, and said with an unnatural expression: "If I don't form a team with you, someone will bother you later. Several people took a peek at you just now."

"How is it possible, don't make excuses, go by yourself." The white wolf stood up, pushed Tallulah's back to push her away, turned around, and prepared to rest on the previous chair.

She felt someone lightly tap her shoulder, thought it was Tallulah again, so she pinched the other person's fingers, and said reluctantly: "Xiaota, you are enough, I've already said it..."

She turned around and saw a young Ursus gentleman, who looked at her pinched fingers with ambiguous eyes, bowed slightly, and said kindly and slowly: "Beautiful lady, you may have misunderstood, I just wanted to invite you to dance with me."

White Wolf felt a chill, let go of his hand quickly, and explained in a very awkward tone: "Yes, I'm sorry, I already have a dance partner, she just went to help me get things."

"Well, that's really a pity."

"Sorry, sorry."

The white wolf hurriedly turned around and found Miss Longnv two meters away. The other party didn't go far at all, and hid here deliberately to watch her jokes.

"How about it, I didn't lie to you." Tallulah said in a low voice, suppressing a smile.

"Well, the key is that I never thought that such a thing would happen." White Wolf replied depressedly.

Tallulah smiled: "I think you are a fan of the authorities. You are very beautiful. If you happen to like your type, you will definitely be fascinated."

White Wolf couldn't help but get hot on his face: "Don't talk nonsense, let's not talk about it, okay?"

"I'm not kidding you, I'm not talking nonsense."

"Tch, you still say you won't lie to me, how do you know such a thing?"

"I definitely know..." Tallulah suddenly thought of something, and then her eyes widened in disbelief.

Next, she fell into deep self-reflection and self-doubt, and she didn't care to say a word.

White Wolf thought that he had exposed the lie of his girlfriend, and was secretly complacent. She saw that others had started dancing to the music, and Tallulah suddenly became dumbfounded, so she imitated the others and wrapped her right hand around Miss Longnu's waist. Waist, left hand holding the palm of Miss Longnu.

What's next, right foot or left foot first?Sideways or diagonally?

She's stuck.

Just when she was about to continue learning from other people, Tallulah came to her senses and saw that she was being held around her waist, and looked at the white wolf in surprise.

Tallulah could tell at a glance that the white wolf didn't know what to do. She was going to teach him directly, but she changed her mind when she got to the point of speaking. She wanted to see how far the white wolf could learn by himself.

She silently stared at Miss White Wolf, seeing her face getting redder and redder.

"I'll teach you." She couldn't help but covered her mouth and said with a smile.

White Wolf replied in a very disdainful tone: "It's fine to listen to what you have to say, in fact, I've almost learned it."

"Yeah, I know, before I teach you, how about we change it first, you come to dance the female step?"

"Hey, is my current posture a male step?" Bai Lang glanced at the others and found that most of the people who moved in the same way as her were men. She felt that she had learned a little more, and said in her mouth, "If I don't change, I will take a male step." step."

This made Tallulah a headache. The male step is relatively difficult to learn, which needs to consider the problem of the rotation between the feet, while the female step has almost no threshold, and only needs to master the forward and backward movements.She wasn't sure about teaching White Wolf this on the spot. If the other party was frustrated, it would be bad if he didn't want to come to such occasions in the future.

She didn't know where it was bad, but she just intuitively felt that it was not good for her. After thinking about it, she explained: "The men's step is too simple, and there is no need to learn it. The key is to dance the women's step well. I want to see if you can do it well." You can’t master something this difficult.”

The white wolf asked suspiciously: "Really? I don't understand, so don't lie to me."

Talula said calmly: "Look, I didn't teach you, but you have already done the basic posture of the male step. Do you think I lied to you?"

"It seems to be like this, well, then listen to you."

Chapter 45 Maximizing Benefits

White Wolf soon felt that she understood it completely, and she thought to herself, maybe it wasn't because the dance steps were simple, but because her talent was too good.

The trick of this kind of dance is really simple for her. She only needs to lean, swing and slowly turn in circles with the rhythm of the music.The only thing that makes people uncomfortable is that the two dancing people are too close. Sometimes, they are almost close to each other. Fortunately, the object is Tallulah. If it was the passer-by noble just now, she would definitely not be able to bear it.

She suddenly asked, "Xiaota, what's the name of this dance?"

Tallulah couldn't help laughing again: "You danced for so long and didn't know the name? This is called a waltz, and we chose the simpler one."

"So that's how it is, and the waltz is nothing more than that. Xiaota, do you think it's appropriate to dance between strangers, especially strange men and women?"

"I understand what you mean." Tallulah said, "This kind of dance was first popular in Victoria. When it was first introduced to Ursus, everyone was not used to it. Many people thought waltz was immoral, saying it was limb entanglement. Irregular."

White Wolf couldn't help laughing out loud, and said happily, "What happened next?"

"As you can see, this kind of dance has spread, and now it's a standard part of Ursus noble banquets. I think only the Yan Kingdom will not accept this kind of thing."

"Huh, how do you know?"

Talula said without hesitation: "I heard that the people there are very conservative and never dance."

"You don't know about that." White Wolf proudly said, "Yan Kingdom has a ballroom dance called 'Da Ling', which is danced by nobles when they serve wine orders. You people always have a stereotype of Yan Kingdom."

"Then how did you know?"

"It's said in Rhode Island's book." White Wolf replied.

Tallulah nodded with a smile, and said, "You said earlier that I am not like an Ursus or a Victorian, but you, a Colombian, are also like a Yan country."

White Wolf suspected that Long Nu was implying that she was conservative, and was about to question her when, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a waiter standing at the edge of the hall, looking at her.

She looked at the wall clock on the wall, guessed the intention of the waiter, and whispered to Miss Longnv: "Xiaota, let me go over, the appointed time is almost here."

The dragon girl hurriedly took her hand: "I'll be with you."

When the two came to the edge of the hall, the waiter immediately bowed his head respectfully and said, "Master ordered me to take Miss Lilian to the second floor for discussion."

He looked at Tallulah again: "Miss Lilian's friends can wait for a while, someone will lead you to the lounge later."

The white wolf nodded to Talula, signaling that she needn't worry, then followed the waiter up the stairs to the second floor.

The walls of the corridor are delicate beige, and a mural is hung every other way. White Wolf is not familiar with Terra’s art genre, so he can’t tell whether the paintings are good or bad. He can only guess from the sense of the times that these things should be It is an ancient relic dozens or even hundreds of years ago.

The waiter brought her to the door of the room in the middle of the second floor, knocked lightly on the door, and said respectfully, "Master, Miss Lilian has already arrived."

A hoarse voice came from the room: "Understood, you go down first."

The waiter bowed his head and retreated. The white wolf pushed open the door and walked in slowly. On the recliner in the center of the room sat an old Ursus looking down. Uneven, probably much younger than her adoptive father.

This should be the protagonist she will face today, the Marquis of Carolingian.

She took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "Master Marquis, I am Lilian, the white wolf that Lord Kelsey said."

【~

Carolin spun around on the recliner, and White Wolf finally saw this mysterious man with a complicated network of relationships for the first time.

This is a person with a very unique temperament, his eyes are small, with a sly gleam in the slits of his eyes, and a little indifferent, reminiscent of a profit-seeking businessman, but it seems that there is something hidden, gloomy and silent.

His face is exposed to the sun, and there are several deep scars on the right jaw, which should be left by the battlefield experience. These scars make him look mature and stable. Coupled with the gray hair color and hoarse accent, it is very similar to the experience. Deep elders.

If you don't look at the eyes, this person's words have a unique appeal, which is easy to convince.

At this time, Carolin showed a relaxed smile on his face, and showed the white wolf what he had in his hands, while saying hoarsely: "Welcome, Lilian, I didn't expect you to be so old."

He was holding a photo in his hand. In the photo was a little Lilian, only a little over one meter tall, with a curious wait-and-see expression, probably studying what the camera in front of him was.

White Wolf instantly felt that her seniority was a bit shorter. She resisted the awkwardness in her heart and asked, "What is this picture?"

"About ten years ago, your adoptive father asked me to do something, and he sent this photo along the way." Caroline stroked his beard and said, "Let's not mention this, I'm used to talking about business first."

Obviously you mentioned it first, Bai Lang thought to himself, looking at the photo in the other party's hand, she was uncertain about her adoptive father's intentions, she nodded superficially, and said, "I have exactly the same intention."

Caroline's expression turned cold in an instant, and he said word by word: "I don't think Kelsey is sincere enough in talking with me. I paid too much and got too little. It's not worth taking such a risk."

"Then what do you think is a more suitable price?" White Wolf asked calmly, startled.

Carolin lay down on the chair, and said in a casual tone: "My conditions are not high. I only need to share [-]% of all the origin ore mines transported, and others will also earn some."
