Alien landlady

Chapter 135
Bai Tongtong stayed on the bed until almost noon before getting up. After washing and dressing up, she wanted to wait for lunch directly, but the mages downstairs didn't want to let her go too easily. It was obvious that she had a lot of make-up today, so she chose one person to ask for a meal. Come to a sparring session with her, and a group of people happily watched her being repaired through the window of the morning room.

Struggling until after lunch, with food in his stomach, Bai Tongtong also felt refreshed, discussed with the mages about the trial experience of the new fountain pen, recorded everyone's opinions, and then went back to the office to write a letter to the talented senior Farrell .

You can imagine how busy the chief clerk of the elders' home is with his daily work. Bai Tongtong is too embarrassed to trouble this enthusiastic senior. She apologizes tactfully in the letter, and hopes that the senior will give her a list of basic bibliography first, and attach Give him two fountain pens to try out.

Bai Tongtong didn't ask the male servant to deliver the letter in person, but after the teleportation array arrived in the capital, he handed the letter to the people in the guild and went back. He was already busy enough on his side, so he couldn't spare anyone to do the postman's work.

Farrell was still enjoying a rare rest day in the living room, lying on the couch and reading a novel for a while, until his butler came in with a silver tray, and the small round cup next to his head Put a large envelope bag on the table.

Harding leaned over to take a look, put the letter on Farrell's chest full of sympathy, pushed his hand with his nose, and urged him to read the letter quickly.

[The identity crisis has begun. 】

Farrell shuddered, sat up abruptly, put down the book, picked up the letter and tore open it, took out another unsealed envelope, and a small long box.

Open the box, and inside are two pens that look extremely simple in structure.

Farrell raised his eyebrows, put down his pen for the time being, and read the letter first.

【What did you write? ] Harding waited for a while, and Farrell's reading speed was actually slower than his usual speed for reading official documents for just two pages.

"I'd say she's well-educated, though she looks rough and masculine." Farrell turned the first page of the stationery to Harding. "Look at her beautiful handwriting."

【Well, the handwriting is beautiful and very polite.And, uh, did she really ask you to make her book list?She really wants to ask you for advice, and doesn't mind the fact that you've been 'out' of the magic circle for a long time. 】

"Don't just look at the content, look at the handwriting, what do you see?" Farrell showed Harding the letter in one hand, and picked up the pen case with the other hand to study the pens inside.

[What else is in her handwriting? 】Harding stared wide-eyed and read the contents of the letter several times. Farrell was getting impatient, so he let out a groan, 【Oh, handwriting!No sign of ink stalls, hence those two pens. 】

Only then did Farrell put on the second page of letter paper to show Harding, shaking the two pens in the other hand, "New achievements of the capable school girl."

[Oh, it really is.However, has her nickname changed again?From that woman to a capable schoolgirl? ] On the second page of the letter paper is the content of this new type of fountain pen, stating that it will be sent to the seniors for trial use. Harding tilted his head and looked at Farrell with a snickering smile, 【Do you admit that she is your junior? 】

"Master Jules specially designated, what difference does it make if I admit it or not?"

[Don't blame Master Jules for everything, she is innocent, the key is whether you want to admit that she has that level, her focus is different from yours, she has been constantly competing with various pens, She also wants to build a smelting factory, and she seems to be more inclined towards popular items that ordinary people can participate in manufacturing. 】

"Isn't that good? She created new business opportunities and brought the necessities of life to ordinary people. Everyone will remember her name in the future."

[Don't change the subject, do you admit that she is of a good standard, and will become a school girl who is as famous as you or surpasses you in the future? 】

"This question is meaningless." Farrell didn't answer, stood up with his shoes on, and went to the study with the letter and presents.

Harding wanted to snicker, but suppressed it, and followed Farrell to the study to watch him write a reply.

Sitting at the desk, laying out letter paper, holding a new fountain pen in hand, and starting to draft the book list.

Master Jules said that Bai Tongtong wanted to learn the technology of making storage products. Of course, Farrell knew what he was going to do, but he didn't expect him to guide him. He had to think about where to start first.

Harding floated slightly in the air, and he was quite surprised to see that Farrell actually wrote it by hand.

【Oh!You actually write it by hand!How many years haven't seen your handwriting! 】

"Nonsense, I can also write important documents by hand."

[Yes, yes, it is only a summary document for a few specific people including His Majesty, and there are not a few copies written throughout the year, and the sum does not exceed the amount of paper used by your clerk for two days.Or did you write it yourself because you admitted that she was your junior?Can't you still write your original handwriting with your usual lazy skills? 】

"I'm here to test the writing feel of this new type of fountain pen, okay? Besides, this is just a draft, okay? Can you keep quiet?"

【Ok.For the sake of your school girl, I will stay on the sidelines. 】

"I didn't admit it."

【Your behavior says so. 】Harding flicked his tail, and ran to lie down on the sofa next to the desk with a knowing attitude.

Farrell graciously didn't care about his pets, and concentrated on writing down all the books he knew, and even went to his bookcase to add a few more books to the long list.

The writing feeling of the new pen is very comfortable, but the habit of using the quill pen for a long time cannot be changed for a while. After writing a few words, I always stop to look for the ink bottle, and then I can react and continue writing until I write a two-page bibliography. Gradually I got used to using the new pen, and the number of times I searched for ink bottles decreased significantly.

Bai Tongtong's letter stated that because it is a new invention, it is not known whether the structure of the nib is stable, so it is not recommended to use it for writing important documents, in case ink leaks and stains the paper.

However, Farrell felt that if he took out this pen at the meeting tomorrow, he would definitely surprise many people. He was not curious about the material and structure of the pen holder, and he had no intention of dismantling it. He thought it was unnecessary, as long as it was easy to use.

Harding took a nap comfortably, opened his eyes and saw that Farrell was still writing at the desk, and couldn't help floating over to look curiously. It turned out that he was sorting out the work plan for the next week, and the draft bibliography had long been put aside went.

[Didn't your junior remind you not to use this pen to write important documents for the time being? 】

"No, the water from the nib is very uniform, and the parts of the nib are made directly by magic. If the smelting workshop is built, she will make a large amount of it by hand, so that she has to worry about the problem of defective products."

[The hooligans in Wismar slandered her so much, she still has the leisure to research a new type of pen, is it true that everything is under her control? 】

"Endure it, if you want to see a good show, endure it, don't peek at the end of the script in advance."

【Don't be impatient. She has been hurt at home for so many days, and the guild was alarmed. She is still able to hold back. Judging by her previous way of doing things, she is not really a good person who allows others to bully her. 】

"So I tell you to bear with it. This is a good opportunity to observe her true character. In the past, she acted for others, but this time it is for herself. Everyone is actually curious about what she will do."

[I really want to go and have a look. 】

"No, it's no fun, just stay at home."

Harding whined in frustration and dropped to the ground at Farrell's feet.

Farrell bent down to pat Harding, scratching the back of his ears and the top of his head, and went on working.

At the same time, Bai Tongtong is looking for suitable saplings in the border forest, which is related to her next counterattack plan, so she is looking for varieties that can grow into towering trees.

And in Wismar in the south of the forest, the men and horses of the major families have been fighting for a day. The Leibni family is in a state of desperation. , Patriarch Igor was asked to come out and explain clearly, and the people of various forces also attacked the subordinates of the Leibni family together, beating them so much that they dared not go out, causing heavy casualties.

The Leibney family knew very well that the stolen documents must have leaked the secrets, otherwise outsiders would not be able to know the details. Although they suspected that it was the magician's counterattack, they could not attend meetings to discuss countermeasures right now. They just wanted to protect the family. The site is already very difficult, and there is no spare energy to do other things, not to mention that there are gossips outside that the Leibney family has gone bankrupt, and there is actually no copper coin left in the family, which has attracted many business creditors to stop. Ask for the checkout and pay back the money outside the gate of the Leibney Manor.

The eldest son Chouta sent someone to send his wife and children back to her natal home, but was intercepted by the younger brother Chardy outside the manor and sent back forcibly. He asked the elder brother to assume the duties and responsibilities of the eldest son, and he could not let his wife and children do it at the critical moment. His way of retreat was not to protect his brothers and subordinates who had followed the family for many years.

Ceuta, who was already annoyed at first, immediately confronted his younger brother tit for tat. This kind of thing happened today because of his willful and reckless desire to take revenge on the magician, and he didn't do a good job of investigation in advance, and even ignored the news brought back by his brother's subordinates. The revenged Master Bai is a woman who is so cruel that even men frown.

And the younger brother, Chadi, also attacked his elder brother for being weak and incompetent. He looked forward and backward, and when there was an accident at home, he didn't want to support him, but he poured cold water on him to oppose it. It is his fault that he, the eldest son, failed to fulfill his duties. He is not qualified to be the heir at all. .

Ceuta drew his sword angrily and wanted to slash his younger brother. After dodging a few attacks, Chadi also raised his sword to fight back.

The two brothers blamed each other for an accident in the family and caused internal conflicts. The situation became even more uncontrollable. Even the words of the patriarch Igor didn't work, so they had to send their own people to forcibly separate the two brothers and lock them in their respective rooms to reflect on themselves.

That night, after dinner, Bai Tongtong dressed as a mercenary and went to Wismar to inquire about news.

This time she chose another village, which was still a lively tavern. Under the heat of the wine, she loudly bragged about the cowhide she heard while doing missions outside, and told everyone in the tavern that the Leibney family maliciously slandered the magician In order to honor the reputation of the city, the Cove Magician's Guild specially sent people to cooperate with the city waterproof army to fight against the robbers. It is said that many people have been arrested.

"I really don't know what kind of medicine the Leibney family took wrongly. They got impatient and went to slander the female mage. The mages are a group of people with the same hatred. If one person is bullied, a group of people will help revenge. Offending the mage is absolutely It’s not going to end well, let alone being provocative, it’s really looking for death.” Bai Tongtong gulped down the sour ale, patted the table and laughed loudly, full of schadenfreude.

"Hey, girl, this is Wismar. The Leibney family hasn't collapsed yet. Isn't it good for you to laugh like this?" Someone reminded me kindly.

"What are you afraid of? I live on my own. They don't want to be talked about, so don't do this nonsense, as if someone forced them. Leibney, one of the big local families, is someone who can force them Really? Tell me, who would believe that someone forced them to take revenge on the magician? Do you believe it? Or does someone believe it?" Bai Tongtong stepped on the stool with his right foot, put his right elbow on his knee, stretched his left arm, and swept across the entire tavern with his index finger raised high. , the people who were pointed at by the fingertips all shook their heads, not believing that the Leibney family would have such irrational grievances with the magician.

Bai Tongtong chuckled, hiccupped, took out the money and threw it to the bartender. He turned around and left the tavern on the pretext of having something to do tomorrow.

On the village road without street lights, there is only a little bit of weak lighting brought by torches placed at intervals. The light flickers in the night wind, distorting and deforming according to the shadows of people, full of the atmosphere of a horror movie.

Bai Tongtong unleashed the ground auditory technique, and immediately found that there were more than one man sneaking behind him who deliberately lowered his footsteps.

A Huang hid in the darkness, showed Bai Tongtong the way, and took her to a secluded corner where she could do business easily.

Deliberately led the guys behind him around to the back corner of the house where the torches couldn't reach, waiting for work, waiting for the guys behind him to be caught one by one automatically, and then a huge bunker rose from the ground, holding Bai Tongtong, Ah Huang and the prey together. Covered inside, the heavy walls firmly blocked the screams of being beaten, and not a single moan came out. It was not until Bai Tongtong was satisfied with the beating that he withdrew the magic through the darkness, and ran away with oil on his feet.

Inexplicably, the men who were beaten up were not seriously injured. After getting up from the ground, they walked back to the bright street with curses on their lips. It was these few people who killed him, they fought with each other indiscriminately, and they all blamed others for getting in the way and lost that female mercenary.

Just when these people were playing lively and attracted idlers from nearby taverns to watch the fun, Bai Tongtong had already returned to the guild to boil water, take a shower and sleep.

She really wanted to take so many documents from the Leibney family that Ah Huang brought back earlier, and pick some secretly and put them in the study rooms of other families, but it would be too deliberate if she thought about it, those old hooligans suddenly It can be realized that someone is going to kill with a knife, and it is not ruled out that someone has already realized it. If you think about it, it will affect the current situation if you think about it. It would be a pity to lose a lot of excitement.

Thinking of this, Bai Tongtong gave up this plan. Anyway, the Leibney family is already suffering from headaches. After all, it is a fact that their family has no money, and a comprehensive aftermath needs money.
