Alien landlady

Chapter 144 Forest Special Training
After returning to the guild, Bai Tongtong sat in the bedroom and couldn't calm down. She felt that what Pollock said was very strange. It shouldn't be something that a smuggler could say, but it should be what he saw from his real identity. Then come to remind her to be careful.

Of course she will pay attention to safety issues, and she is not an idiot. She is very clear about what the territorial nobles represent. The magicians of the guild are chatting all over the world.

Because having a territory means automatically entering the inner layer of the aristocratic political circle, instead of a peripheral aristocrat who can't even hear first-hand news about entertainment and gossip. She will assume the same rights and obligations as male aristocrats. Opportunity to build your own news channels.

The best and most direct source of information she had right now was Farrell.

Bai Tongtong's eyes suddenly brightened, and he stood up from the chair a little excitedly.

A Huang was disturbed by her, jumped out of bed and rubbed against her by her feet.

【Are you scared by that smuggler? 】

[No, it's much better now.I'm just thinking about which camps I should be close to, judging which camps are going to be bad for me. 】Bai Tongtong bent down to touch Ah Huang, then paced back and forth in the room.

[You are directly appointed by His Majesty, besides being loyal to His Majesty, what camp do you want to join? 】

[Royalists are also divided into camps, maintaining their own small interests under the unified goal of maintaining the existing royal rule. 】

【Then you can only join the camp of your senior, Farrell. He is the closest to you, and he is also the most neutral on the surface. 】

[But it is also the most dangerous, his position is too attractive, low-key but has the right to speak, there must be many people staring at him.This is what Pollock wants to remind.My contact with Farrell may have been known to outsiders. 】

[He is only temporarily replacing Master Jules to teach you space magic. 】

[Outsiders don’t see it that way. In the eyes of outsiders, I have a background in magic education. I am the acting president of the Magicians Guild. I have the support of magicians. I am a noble with two territories and two titles. Whichever camp you prefer, you will strengthen that camp.The chief clerk, who has always been neutral, has a good relationship with me. Even if it is only an alumni relationship, it means that he has my support. This will change the existing power structure of each camp. 】

【Oh, so that means, after King Marzio's imperial order was delivered to the capital confirming that you will be canonized as an earl, that clerk might have been too busy? 】

【Yeah, now His Majesty canonized me as a baron again. Although I don't know how this baron came to be, that poor senior probably doesn't even have enough time to sleep.There will be a palace dinner the day after tomorrow, I wonder if he will attend? 】

【You still wrote a letter today to ask about the baron. You can send it before I get back. Otherwise, I can make a trip here to see where the mailing address is. 】

[Yes, yes, I didn't expect this level. Anyway, there is still a chance. I have many questions to ask him for advice. 】

【You should study hard, Pollock has reminded you, from his tone, I really hope you don’t die in the vortex of political struggle.Now that we are back, the special training that was interrupted for a few days will resume today. I will take you for a walk in the forest after dinner every day. Don’t try to find a reason to run away. 】Ah Huang jumped onto the bed again, insisting on finding a higher position to stare at Bai Tongtong.

Bai Tongtong was amused, and jumped onto the big bed, pressed Ah Huang on the bed and rubbed it vigorously.Ah Huang struggled to break free, jumped onto Bai Tongtong's back to lick the fur, and cleverly mobilized the elements to hold her down, preventing her from resisting until it licked all the fur in a slow and smooth way before jumping off the ground, with its tail raised proudly Go out through the wall.

After regaining her freedom, Bai Tongtong got up from the bed, stretched her waist, took her clothes and went downstairs to take a shower.

The next day was still a busy day at work, and Bai Tongtong was relieved by the letter of explanation sent by Farrell, who no longer entangled in the meaning of noble status.

The Masters Guild also wrote back and made a rough list for Bai Tongtong. The things she wanted to rebuild were all on the list, and there were different charging standards. For example, copper water pipes were charged according to their length, and water towers were charged according to the number of people supplied. Wait, as for the hardening of the roads, the costs of building new rural houses are not on this list, and Bai Tongtong has to ask separately.

Even if she can earn a lot of money from the vegetable industry with a thousand acres of arable land, there are still too many items that cost money, and most of them are big. A few industrial products that can be exchanged for money to protect their financial health.

Compared with those jobs that require racking one's brains to balance the needs of all parties, the daily sparring with mages has the meaning of inter-class exercises.

In the evening after dinner, Ah Huang waited outside the restaurant for Bai Tongtong to come out, swung his tail and slapped her legs, drove her upstairs to change into a mercenary outfit, and fled to the forest.

Ah Huang is not merciful like a magician, what he gives is a beast-style attack, and Bai Tongtong finally understands the despair when facing the attack of a high-level monster head-on.

Especially the other party is a feline animal. The cat's nature of playing with prey makes Bai Tongtong flustered. No matter how many defensive shields she puts up, Ah Huang can directly destroy them violently, exposing Bai Tongtong to its rainstorm-like offensive. There are traps again, and I can't find a place to stay, so I can only keep moving. It is the most stupid idea to climb a tree to catch my breath.

Because cats can climb trees.

As long as Bai Tongtong shows signs of wanting to climb the tree, Ah Huang can jump on the tree in advance to wait for her, then jump down towards her, and hit Bai Tongtong's face fiercely with its weight, smashing her back to the ground, while the tree In the next circle, sharp thorns have been erected, waiting to pierce through the soles of her feet.

After Bai Tongtong suffered two rounds of losses, he no longer had the idea of ​​climbing a tree to escape. Although he did not pierce the soles of his feet, the soles of his shoes were still broken. The trousers were cut several times.

In such a state of embarrassment, Ah Huang said with disdain that it has already shown mercy, if Bai Tongtong were a monster hunter, he would have died under its claws long ago.

Because Bai Tongtong insists on running and practicing martial arts every day, her body coordination is not bad, her reaction is also sensitive, and she can always avoid danger. However, she suffers from the fact that her casting speed is too slow compared to Ah Huang. The magic bullets never stopped, designed to destroy the rhythm of her chanting, and frequently interrupted her magic preparations. Taking advantage of Bai Tongtong's opportunity to avoid the magic attack, it stretched out its sharp claws and pounced on it with a cat's claw attack. Rubbed it against Bai Tongtong's cheek, and finally scratched off a large piece of bark.

Unable to fight, unable to run, unable to run, the disgraced Bai Tongtong picked up a long branch from the ground and used it as a stick to dance loudly.

Ah Huang didn't care about this threat at all, it poured the earth element into the branch violently, and activated the spawning technique at the same time, forcefully rejuvenating the branch in a few seconds, the branch became the main body of the trunk, and a heavy end grew out. The roots, the lighter end grew into a canopy, and countless new branches stretched out. Bai Tongtong couldn't hold it any longer and let go of his hand, hitting the instep of his foot, screaming in pain and hugging his feet and turning around in circles.

The magic that should have followed immediately disappeared instantly, the elements dissipated, and it was as calm as if it had never been practiced in magic duels. It was just a situation where Bai Tongtong was accidentally injured while walking in the forest.

Ah Huang ran out from behind the big tree and called Bai Tongtong NYA~NYA~, and got her a dirt stool so she could sit down and check her injuries.

Bai Tongtong's face was disfigured from the pain, originally it was just a branch and it wouldn't be smashed into anything, but Ah Huang turned into a small sapling, and the fragile instep couldn't bear the weight.

I took off my shoes and socks and checked carefully. There was no fracture, but it was a little swollen. Bai Tongtong condensed a few pieces of ice, wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them on the back of my feet for a while.

Ah Huang walked around Bai Tongtong, dug a hole nearby, and planted the new sapling well. When he returned to Bai Tongtong's side, he saw the scratches all over her body and didn't forget to hit her again, "You really didn't?" use. 】

Bai Tongtong curled his mouth and stretched out his hand towards it. Ah Huang leaned closer, stood up and put his two front legs on Bai Tongtong's lap, rubbed against her face, and licked a few more mouthfuls. As a result, his tongue accidentally scraped the wound on her face, and then She gasped in pain.

[Your combat effectiveness is really worrying. Fortunately, no one knows your origin, but Pollock must have doubts about how you survived when you were a mercenary. 】

【I only had one fight with him, no matter what he thinks. 】

【Hmph, when he comes next time, your progress will definitely surprise him. 】

[Whether he is surprised or not is none of my business, and it's not for his special training, it's to increase the black hand cost of potential political opponents.In other words, I don't know what a territorial noble like me should do. I don't know what rights and obligations I have. I know that I have issued imperial orders and a complete collection of coats of arms, and I don't give more books. 】

[I think the genius senior will be happy to answer all your questions about politics. 】

[I'm sorry to bother others again. 】

[Why don't you write to him and ask him if there is something like sending runestones? You two should write through the runestones, so as not to attract excessive attention from outsiders. It's too easy for you, an illiterate newborn nobleman, to make some political mistakes up. 】

[That's right, let them guess, but they won't get anything. 】Bai Tongtong sat up straight, took out the notepad from the ring, and quickly wrote the draft of the letter on the blank page.

【Hey?The local tyrant who gave me the runestone hasn't moved for a long time. 】Writing about the teleportation rune stone, Bai Tongtong remembered the one he got.

【Hmm, local tyrants don't care about wasted runestones, that's the only way I can explain it.Do you want to take the initiative to contact him? 】

【In no mood.Say whatever you want. 】

Bai Tongtong finished the draft of the letter with the help of the faint light, put away the notebook, stretched the back of her feet, felt that nothing was wrong, wiped off the water stains, put on her shoes and socks, Ah Huang led her back to the back door of the kitchen, and waited in the servant's office. They were ordered to boil the bathwater, watched by amazed people, while she sat in the kitchen and waited, writing down the words hot water boiler and shower again on her mysterious list of experiments.

An hour later, Bai Tongtong came back in a mess and washed herself clean, and all the minor injuries on her body were healed with healing techniques. After all, tomorrow will be a whole day of activities, so a perfect image is required.

Drying her wet hair with magic, Bai Tongtong returned to the bedroom, wrote a letter to Farrell at the desk, and went to bed early.

After dawn, the three Sana brothers arrived just after breakfast, and brought detailed plans for various furnaces, left a copy for Bai Tongtong, and explained to her the use of each furnace in detail, and because it was a smelting plant , all tools must be resistant to high temperatures.

This is a workshop built by the Magician Guild. Sanaa prepares high-end equipment. There are military smelting furnaces that are not easily seen by the people. They are usually used to make high-end weapons. They have higher furnace temperatures and can melt Harder metals are used for the sabers of the upper class such as nobles and high-ranking officers.

When they were talking happily, Bernard walked into the office with the president of the construction guild, a contractor and his assistant.

After greeting and saluting each other, the three parties sat down again, and the president first apologized, "President Bai, we sincerely apologize. We know that you are anxiously waiting for the factory to use it, and we have delayed it for so long because we wanted to choose the best one. Take your project."

The contractor quickly took out the pre-made factory planning plan and handed it to Bai Tongtong with both hands, "President Bai, don't mind, since I know you want to build a smelting factory, I have specially modified some designs of the military smelting factory. This draft, I think the magician's requirements for the smelting workshop will not be lower than the military, and even higher, no matter what, I will definitely satisfy you."

Bai Tongtong pointed at Sana, "This is the designer who provided me with the furnace, and he is also my alumnus. You all want to go together. He also prepared a military smelting furnace for me. It is a good idea to use the military smelting field as a reference." Very practical idea. Why don't we go to the site now to measure the land and leave room for expansion. I have two consecutive social activities in Wangdu today, and I only have a little time in the morning and afternoon here , we'd better hurry up."

The men quickly got up and followed behind Bai Tongtong. The group went downstairs and walked out of the guild gate. Bai Tongtong used the ground escape technique to teleport them to the factory area.

Sana and the contractor immediately discussed and calculated the amount of land used. Bai Tongtong didn't interrupt their work casually, but she dragged the president to build the house.

The president of the construction guild grinned so much that his mouth reached his ears. No matter what Bai Tongtong said he wanted to build, he would pat his chest and agree.

"The houses in the whole village have to be rebuilt."

"no problem."

"My baron's manor cannot be built in the same way as a big landlord's house, and there must be a standard magician's laboratory."

"no problem."

"Manor houses and private houses must have a full set of water supply facilities like the guild, large water towers, and irrigation facilities for farmland."

"no problem."

"There is also the hardening of the land on the village road, which needs to be connected to the main road outside the village, and a small park should be built in the village."

"no problem."

"The distance between the houses of the residents should be close, the sewer outlets for collecting rainwater and waste water should lead to the water system in the forest, and the pipes for collecting manure should lead to the septic tanks in the village to be used as agricultural fertilizers. The direction of these two pipes cannot affect the existing thousands of acres. Cultivated land, but there are still some uncultivated wasteland in the village that can be used."

"Oh, President Bai, you are really thoughtful. If this is the case, you have to see it in person before you can tell."

"Then let's go and have a look now, let them work here, and we'll go back quickly."

"Okay okay."

So, Bai Tongtong and the president greeted Sana and the others, and let them take care of themselves, and then she dragged the president to Salt Village for a field visit.
