Chapter 125 Visiting Relatives and Friends
Farrell ate up two chicken rolls and a total of twelve spring rolls of four sizes and eight sizes in one go, which made him hiccup and feel even thirstier. He beat his chest and put down the bag to get something to drink outside. The downstairs office door opened, and his assistants and clerks returned.

"Mr. Baldrick, are you finished with the meeting?" The assistant came up to look, "Do you want some tea?"

"Hmm." Farrell suppressed a convulsion in his chest, and when the assistant turned and went down, he hid another hiccup in the palm of his hand, and quickly put the bag of French fries into the ring, empty The bag was balled up and thrown into the wastebasket.

The assistant soon came back with a set of tea sets, which were lightly placed on the coffee table. Farrell threw the bag containing the biscuits and cakes to the assistant, "It's a gift from others, and I made it at home. You can share it."

"Thank you, Mr. Baldrick." The assistant went down happily holding the heavy bag to share with the clerks.

After drinking half a pot of tea, Farrell regained his strength and went to the atrium garden for a walk to bask in the sun and exercise his legs and feet after sitting in the conference room for hours before returning to the office to do some odd jobs , and then go home from get off work on time.

Back home, he praised Harding severely, told him to do this in the future, and gave him a note to send to Bai Tongtong.

When Harding rushed over, Bai Tongtong was preparing dinner in the kitchen. Tired magic pets were walking and resting in front of and behind the house, each occupying the boss's territory. Harding didn't want to expose himself. For the sake of the breeze, he flew in from the half-open window of the water room on the second floor, left the note on the white writing desk, and pressed it with a candlestick thoughtfully, then went out the same way, ran to the forest, and caught a prey at will. After swallowing, he licked his mouth and went home.

In the evening, Manning Carlin, the new mayor of Forborg Town, dressed in his best clothes, drove a carriage to the gate of the guild alone. The sudden appearance of six magical beasts frightened his poor horses, but in his Before he turned around and ran away, the surrounding monsters blocked his way, so he had to force a smile and follow the male servant who came out to greet him into the hall.

Bernard extended a warm welcome to the guests in the lobby, and then took him to the morning room. The room was full of colorful robes, making Mayor Carlin feel as if he was standing in front of the gate of hell for a moment, and had another thought. The urge to run, but Bernard stood firmly behind him. The middle-aged mayor in his 40s with a mustache could only bite the bullet and walk into the room with a stiff posture, saying hello to all the magicians.

Tonight the mayor and the priest are the protagonists of the banquet. It is expected that the priest did not come, but the mayor was appointed by the administrator of the main city. Although everyone hopes that the mayor will also boldly ignore the invitation of the Magicians Guild, But this is obviously impossible, so Mayor Karin is here now, and all the magicians surrounded him with smiles to greet him and ask him to sit down and chat.

The mayor of Carlin was surrounded by hands and feet and sat down at a small round table. The manservant pushed the dining cart over and replaced it with a new set of tea sets.

The accompanying guests tonight are all old mages who are as good as human beings. When they received the letter, they thought it was a real meal. When they came, they heard that the theme was a meeting with the mayor. There was no need for mage Anmeng to say anything more, and everyone agreed They exchanged ambiguous glances with each other.

Violent deterrence is not the only way to be dismounted. Mental pressure can also achieve results. Magicians are very good at this, and in order to ensure a good atmosphere at the dinner table, chatting before meals is of course essential.

Bai Tongtong is working hard in the kitchen for tonight's whole fish feast. She will not meet the mayor before the meal. It is not a good host to disturb the guests' pleasant chat. The mayor should also take this opportunity to get to know the group of magicians well. up.

The poor mayor of Carlin was sweating profusely dealing with all kinds of incoherent topics from the mages. Even though they talked about the family's gossip, it was enough to make him exhausted, and he kept regretting why he came. It's better not to come here even if you suddenly feel unwell than to be restless here.

When Bernard walked into the morning room and invited the guests to the dining room, Mayor Carlin finally felt that he could breathe again, but when he found that he was sitting at the guest of honor, if he moved too much during the meal, he might knock Baihui down. When he was drinking a long wine glass, he became nervous again, not to mention that there was a fat, round cat sitting beside the table, watching his every move with half-closed eyes.

According to her habit, Bai Tongtong served four cold dishes, eight hot dishes, one soup, one porridge, and one dessert. Except for cold dishes and desserts, the other dishes were all related to fish. Bai Tongtong was born in a traditional land of fish and rice. It is instinctive to eat aquatic products, but for pasta. My hobbies are things after I go to college.

At the dining table, Bai Tongtong promised that when the beer was brewed, everyone would be invited to hold a bonfire barbecue meeting by the pond, and quite smoothly, she told Bei Rui that this widow who was about to be burned to death but escaped, Mayor Karin heard Said, because the village wants him to help find people.

Who would have thought that she would be so lucky to escape to the territory of the Magicians Guild.

Mayor Carlin couldn't say anything extra except for lamenting that Berri was lucky. In order to cover up his embarrassment and nervousness, he could only keep eating. His plate was always empty the fastest. The hospitable Bai Tongtong He always asks Bernard to give him some more, so when the fruit plate and tea that finally signaled the end were served, the mayor felt that he would not need to eat for the next three days.

Everyone was full, and there was no leftovers. Apart from expressing their love for this whole fish feast, the mages also told Bai Tongtong to be careful, tomorrow the magic circle will know Bai Hui who is good at cooking The boss is ready to receive guests in an all-round way.

Amidst the laughter, Mayor Carlin really fainted.The thought of mages appearing in large numbers in the near future made him nervous, which broke the concept he had cultivated since birth. For the peace and tranquility of the town, he hoped that there would be no conflict between devout believers and mages.

After drinking tea, the guests took their leave. The mages returned to their respective cities from the teleportation array one by one, and watched them leave. Bai Tongtong sent the mayor out again. His carriage had already been pulled outside the main gate, and Ah Huang was waiting under the carriage.

"Mayor Karin, it's dark at night, and it's not safe to light a torch. Please don't refuse my offer to give you a ride." Bai Tongtong didn't give anyone the slightest chance to refuse. Two male servants came up from behind, one left On the right, with a polite but semi-threatening gesture, he helped the mayor to the carriage and sat down. Bai Tongtong smiled and waved to the mayor. Ah Huang flicked his tail and disappeared with the carriage, at most five or six Seconds and it's back again.

The mayor was sitting in his carriage in a daze, but the location was already outside the town hall, so he decided to go home and sleep, and talk about things tomorrow.

And Bai Tongtong, who went back to the bedroom to change clothes and was about to rest, saw the note under the candlestick, with unfamiliar handwriting, on it was a place called Artisan Town, and the note at the bottom was the largest concentration of workshops in Soller. The small village has developed. If you want to find a magic apprentice who may be engaged in the artisan business, you'd better go there first.

Bai Tongtong immediately understood that this was the clue that Pollock had given her. If Bai Rui's younger brother Sana was still making use of his specialty as a fire apprentice, the town of Artisan, where craftsmen gathered together, was indeed worth a visit.

Thinking of this, Bai Tongtong immediately went to the office to check the map of Soller. There were records of how many guilds were in the jurisdiction area of ​​each main city, and which key towns were nearby. It was so easy to find out which town happened to be located in the main city. Southeast suburbs.

Bai Tongtong resolutely gave up her plan to visit the manor of a small nobleman in a neighboring village tomorrow, and instead went to Atisan Town to look for good craftsmen. Even if she didn't find Sana, it would not be a waste of time to find other craftsmen.

The plan is set, Bai Tongtong washes up and goes to bed, but she is not in a hurry to sleep. She sits on the bed and writes the menu. If there are new customers coming tomorrow, it is time for the maids to take over the cooking. She will show up on weekends at most. Xiaoshou, she also wants to eat ready-made ones on weekdays.

In the early morning of the next day, after finishing the routine work one by one, after everyone had breakfast, Bai Tongtong took Ah Huang to Soller City and rented a house through the guild. A long-distance carriage took her to the town of Attisan.

Ah Huang didn't want to sit in the narrow carriage with Bai Tongtong, so he jumped on the roof of the car, monopolizing the seat with the best view, flicking his thick tail comfortably under the surprised eyes of business travelers along the way, squinting his eyes to enjoy the sunshine .

It's not too far from the main city to Atisan, and it takes more than two hours for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through several large and small villages.

The carriage brought Bai Tongtong to the town office. It was a lively and noisy place suitable for inquiring news. There were many taverns and hotels in the surrounding area. Looking at the women's clothing, it could be seen that the town was quite wealthy.

Hearing that the president of the Magicians Guild is here, the mayor warmly received Bai Tongtong and asked her to go to the inner office to discuss in detail.

"I'm here to look for someone, mayor, but I'm not sure he's here. I'm just here to try my luck."

"It doesn't matter, President Bai, since you can come here, there must be some clues for you to come here. Can you tell me about the clues you have first?" The mayor laid out a pen and paper.

"To be honest, there are no clues. The information I have is from a few years ago, and I don't know if that person lives here."

"This town is not too big or small, and the resident population exceeds [-] people. It's not just business travelers passing by. No matter what clues, they can narrow down the search scope."

"What I'm looking for is a family, Laird, elderly father named Saji, mother named Edie, eldest son named Sana, and two younger brothers whose names I don't know, from Forborg town."

The mayor nodded while writing, but he stopped writing at the last sentence, "President Bai, where is Fubao Town?"

"You don't know Fabao Town?" Bai Tongtong's eyes widened. "Have you heard of the former Earl Fabao? It's the town by the border river, which is face to face with Wismar across the border forest."

"Huh? So it's the town that doesn't welcome outsiders? Oh, the Wizards Guild has established a branch there. I guess it must have taken a lot of effort?"

"It's really not easy for this branch to be established." Bai Tongtong couldn't help shaking his head and sighing when he thought of the tense battle that evening.

The mayor lowered his head and finished writing in understanding, "Okay, I've written it all down, is there anything else I want to add?"

"By the way, the eldest son, Sana, once studied at the Magic Academy in Menise City, and is a magic apprentice who dropped out of school."

"Aha! This clue is fine! People with this educational background are highly valued here. What does Sana study?"

"fire."

"That's great. I'll send someone to find fire-related workshops first. President Bai can go to the streets for a stroll at most. It doesn't matter whether there is good news or bad news. Anyway, I will definitely get back to you. "

"Okay, that's it. I'll come over after lunch. See you later."

"See you later, President Bai."

Bai Tongtong walked out of the town office and strolled back and forth along several main roads in the town. There are compact houses for common people, and small buildings with gardens for wealthy people. A large house with people living upstairs.

Bai Tongtong is looking for a blacksmith shop. She wants to find a master who can make high-temperature furnaces for smelting and make some for herself. She thinks it's time to do some smelting experiments. I'm afraid that the alloy will not be seen in the year of the monkey.

I ate lunch at a restaurant near the town hall, and went to the mayor after eating.

"President Bai, there is good news. A family has been found that matches all the clues you gave. He is also a celebrity in our town."

"This is really good, take me there."

The mayor rang the bell to call one of his subordinates, and drove Bai Tongtong to Zhendong Avenue.

Driving through the middle of the avenue, the carriage turned right into a small street. The houses on both sides of the street were designed on purpose. The left hand side is full of garden houses with gatehouses, and the right hand side is a large workshop with an open front. They are close to each other, and then there is an alley on both sides where carriages can walk, and there are two row factories across the alley.

The driver first brought Bai Tongtong to a workshop with the signboard of Laird Fire Industry. The signboard of the old man was across the lintel of the row workshop. Obviously, it should have been two independent factories and now both belong to Lyle. All of the German family.

The carriage did not stay outside the factory gate for too long, nor did Bai Tongtong get off the carriage. Instead, it continued to walk three or four houses, and finally stopped in front of the garden mansion with Laird's nameplate on it.

"President Bai, please, Laird's family is waiting for you at home. I heard that it is the president of the Wizards Guild from Fabao Town. They are all very excited."

"Thank you." Bai Tongtong jumped out of the car and tipped the other party, but the concierge had already opened the iron door for her.

"Chairman Bai, please come in quickly. Everyone is waiting for you." The concierge led Bai Tongtong across the front yard to the porch of the mansion. He knocked on the door a few times, and the door opened in response. go to the living room.

In the large and bright living room, there are more than ten people from a family, old parents, three sons and daughters-in-law, and four boys and girls, big and small, not counting the servants standing in the corner.

The Laird family got up one after another, led by the old Laird, and greeted Bai Tongtong one by one in order from the oldest to the youngest. Their expressions were a little nervous and disturbed, and they suddenly learned that someone from Fort Fort Town was looking for them. This long-lost The name of his hometown made the old lady faint from excitement on the spot.

After the long exchange of greetings, the maids took the children away to take care of them, but they were obviously more interested in the furry Ah Huang, and the younger children were crying for cats and refused to go with the maids. The Laird family quickly apologized. When the scene was a bit chaotic, Ah Huang walked out of the living room slowly, flicking his tail. The children immediately stopped making trouble, and hurriedly chased after the cat with tears still on their faces. .

The living room was finally quiet. The butler brought tea, and the servants withdrew and closed the door of the living room.

When the door was closed, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly changed. The tense and dignified atmosphere due to the reception of distinguished guests eased. The guild leader felt mixed feelings in his heart, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Bai Tongtong doesn't mind the little silence now, she knows that the family needs a little buffer time, she is watching Sana's wife, Nier, prepare tea for her as the hostess, introduce the local people's drinking method, put two dried flowers.

"President Bai, please taste it."

"Thank you." Bai Tongtong sniffed it carefully and tasted it twice. The fragrance of the dried flowers after soaking in the tea gave the tea a scent of scented tea.

"Well, this tea tastes good, is it a locally cultivated variety?"

"Yes, it's a local specialty. It is bred by crossing with other varieties. I don't know the details, but I only know that it is especially suitable for local climate cultivation."

"Oh, then when I go back, I must buy some and take it home, and save it for other magicians to drink."

"Please allow me to make arrangements, Chairman Bai, now is the season for new teas to be released, and I will prepare some high-quality tea for you." After speaking, Nier bowed and stepped back temporarily, leaving the living room.

"Sana, judging by the age of your eldest daughter, when you returned home to pick up your family a few years ago, were you going to get married?"

"Yes, it was just an engagement at that time. I hoped that my parents and family members could attend my wedding, so I went back. It's just that the development of the matter was beyond my expectation. But, President Bai, how did you know? I believe no one will mention this to you." Feeling that this is a serious matter, the whole family sat upright with serious faces.

"Oh, of course it was told to me by your sister Berrie, who works for me now."

"Oh! Bei Rui! President Bai, have you met Bei Rui?! She is working for you?! Is she doing well?" The parents and brothers immediately became excited.

Those two daughter-in-laws got married later, and they hadn't heard much about their husband's family, so they stayed quietly on the sidelines without interfering. But when Nier came back at this time, she knew Bei Rui, so she sat with the two sister-in-laws for a while. The far armchair whispered.
