Alien landlady

Chapter 148
As soon as Farrell arrived home, his housekeeper handed him a letter, which was written by Bai Tongtong to ask him if the correspondence between the two of them had been known to outsiders. She wanted to ask if it would cause gossip. Runestone communication, by the way, please ask him to use ordinary letter paper, the cat is too sensitive to scented paper, and always sneeze around her.

The simple one-page content, Farrell read it several times, touched Harding's head in embarrassment, [I finally found a special scented stationery that interfered with the cat's sense of smell, and she really directly expressed her objection . 】

[Letter paper is easy to handle, just change to another scent, what about sending runestones?Are you going to grant her this request?Don't forget that you have already given her a runestone, and if you give her another one, it's hard to guarantee that she won't find your unique design style. 】

[This is actually easy to handle, go to the guild store to buy a pair of ready-made ones. 】

【You are so lazy. 】

【You want me to make a new pair for her?Are you full of bad water? 】Farrell squinted at his familiar, and pressed its head hard a few times.

【It's been a long time since you've seriously made a serious magic item. I'm still worried that your skills are unfamiliar, and you don't appreciate it for your own good. 】Harding drooped his ears with a hurt expression.

[You have to stay away from that cat, it's getting more and more cunning. 】

Harding's ears immediately perked up, 【Contacting through runestones, she is not afraid that one day she will come to the door with a letter. If she has a whim and asks the cat to deliver the letter for her, I can't imagine what will happen. 】

Farrell wiped his face, [Okay, prepare the materials, take time to do it these few days. 】

Harding wagged his tail happily, not at all like a wolf.

When Farrell was rummaging through his material inventory instead of taking a rest, Bai Tongtong had long been sweetly immersed in a dreamland. As soon as she came back, she would tell the mages like gossip about the Countess of Kinloch. When I turned around and took a shower, I forgot all about it.

Anyway, she won't go to the royal capital to attend any noble social activities in the next few months, and it is estimated that no one will take the initiative to invite her. It happens that she can concentrate on her own business, so she doesn't have time to pay attention to what is said about her in the circle. She believed that the nobles had already fully understood that as long as they offended her, they would be hanged on the wall. Even if Earl Kinloch had objections, it is estimated that there would not be too many people standing on his side to oppose her clearly.

When having breakfast in the morning, the mages all heard about the incident last night one after another. Someone knew about Countess Kinloch's troubles, so he specifically told Bai Tongtong about it, and told her about Countess Kinloch's social circle by the way, telling her to be more careful in the future. .

Bai Tongtong kept these names in mind, and then went to work.

The reply letter from the Magician's General Guild has arrived, asking Bai Tongtong to build the workshop well, it doesn't matter if there is an additional budget, anyway, it is the property of the guild, and the most important thing is to meet the needs of use.

With the letter from the general guild, Bai Tongtong threw off her arms and did it. She immediately wrote a letter to the construction guild, to advance the design and planning, and to use building materials better.

After writing this letter, Bai Tongtong sent a letter to Viscount Camerina, asking for a truckload of all the metal minerals produced in the Vadai Hills, except that some of them were placed in a room of the laboratory building for sample display. The following will be stored as experimental raw materials.

Not long after the two letters were sent out, she received another pile of letters. Ai Ni and the other three wrote to buy a large number of magic refills. There are also letters from merchants from Fort Chemington asking whether the opportunity for cooperation is ripe; but the most important thing is the letter of apology from the Countess of Kinloch. It's all sincerity.

Bai Tongtong also wrote a reply letter to the Countess sincerely, and went to the laboratory to make refills for the students.The materials are all ready-made, and they are mass-produced with mirror arrays. She has no idea about the method of factory production. She doesn't know what to do in the process of forming the refill.

At the end of the day, the order for refills was successfully completed. During dinner time, Ah Huang personally acted as a courier, took the package to the Magic Academy, delivered it to Aini's dormitory, and then rushed back to the guild to practice against Bai Tongtong in the forest.

Life returned to the rhythm Bai Tongtong was used to. A week later, almost at the end of April, the factory finally started construction. The foreman under the contractor brought the workers and drove the carriage to the guild, starting with the infrastructure of leveling the land.

In the evening of the same day, she also received a teleportation runestone from Farrell.

She activated the runestone that night, and threw in a note with the word "Hello", using it in the same way as other runestones of the same type.

A few minutes later, the same piece of paper jumped out from the teleportation array, but it was the first time in a few days to warn her that her Majesty was very upset about the matter of hanging the Countess of Kinloch on the wall. Using magic will lead to punishment, since it is her first offense and the other party made a mistake first, she will not be held accountable this time, and next time, it will be useless for the president of the main guild to intercede.

Bai Tongtong scratched her head, made a grimace at the note, picked up a pen and honestly wrote a two-sentence guarantee on the paper—promise that if similar things happen in the future, she will endure it outside before doing it.

When Farrell received the note, he didn't move at all, he just manipulated the wind element to do it for him, guarding against any possibility of getting his own scent.

However, the guarantee of these two sentences still made Farrell want to vomit blood. He controlled the pen and wrote a stern warning on the back of the paper.

Now it was Bai Tongtong's turn to be a little surprised, feeling that this genius senior was not the serious and old-fashioned one he imagined.

[This guy seems to have a bad stomach, and he still looks serious. Whoever offends me, I will have a public duel to wash away the shame. This idea is really bad. I must treat him to a good meal when I have a chance in the future. 】

Ah Huang, who was licking his fur on the white bed, lifted his hind legs and raised his head, 【Are you praising or scolding? 】

[Of course it's a compliment!How can a guy who can't take bad water get that seat. 】

【whispering sound!Don't waste time, focus on your studies first, and don't forget to ask him how the annual meeting is held and what to pay attention to.Also, do you have a draft of your noble coat of arms? 】

[Don't rush me, come one by one, I'll write back first. 】Bai Tongtong did not change the paper, and continued to write, thanking Farrell for the reminder, and warmly invited him to play in the guild, and she personally cooked some special dishes for him.

Looking at the invitation on the note, Farrell couldn't laugh or cry, and Harding sighed beside him.

[Look, look, the situation is getting more and more out of your control, you are confident in everything else, but there are exceptions to everything, your junior is the best example. 】

[What are you afraid of? If she asks me, I must agree?I'm very busy, so I don't have time to go to dinner. 】

[Just keep your mouth shut. ] Harding dropped Farrell and jumped onto the open window sill, 【You two chat slowly, I'll go over to have some supper. 】

Ah Huang was halfway through licking his hair, and suddenly jumped on the window sill alertly, 【You have a good chat with the genius senior, I won't bother you anymore, I'll go to the forest for supper. 】

【Why are you hungry. 】Bai Tongtong looked up and saw that Ah Huang had jumped off the window sill and disappeared into the night.

Shrugging, Bai Tongtong changed a new piece of paper and continued to discuss with Farrell about her homework problems.

Ah Huang intercepted Harding, who was catching small animals for supper in the forest. Thinking of the last time he found Pollock in the palace, he felt unwilling. He felt like he was being tricked, so he showed his paws and jumped at Harding. , the two quickly became a ball, one chased the other and ran, and slowly reached the side of Wismar.

Chasing Harding's scent and ran to Bai's Manor, Ah Huang bumped into Harding who was standing in front of the corner window, and was about to give him a paw, but he was even more surprised to find someone walking around in the dark.

【your people? 】Ah Huang shakes his beard and wants to bite someone.

【how is this possible. ] Harding gave Ah Huang a look of contempt, 【We are gentlemen. 】

【whispering sound!I'll go in and have a look. 】Ah Huang dropped Harding and walked in through the wall by himself.

Harding didn't move. He waited patiently for a moment. There were cries of pain from several people in the mansion, as well as the clang of objects falling to the ground.

Turned around the house for a small half, and found the back door of the kitchen that was pried open. Harding raised his head and walked in slowly. With his keen night vision, he easily found the main staircase. The floor in front of the stairs fell down. The four men hugged their bodies and moaned in various ways, and there were several beautiful boxes lying beside them.

【Thief? ] Harding stepped forward.

【possible.I'm taking them back. 】Ah Huang licked his mouth.

[Look, there is not even a housekeeper in such a big house, which is equivalent to telling the thief that there is a treasure here and come quickly. 】

[You are not so proud, our geographical location is so good, there are many people who want to own a property to collect intelligence from the two countries next door. Last time we attended a banquet in the palace, someone suggested that so many nobles don’t choose, why give it to you? smugglers. 】

[I said that the people we put here will definitely protect your interests. If you are worried, you can use the honesty technique or the mind-peeping technique, and you can check it as you like. 】

[Even if we want to check the people who are placed here by the great nobles, we will also check. 】

【They will not rent this manor and be taken care of by your frankness every day. Give up. What they want is to get a piece of land outside to build a house or buy someone else's house. Only we are not afraid, there is nothing to be conservative about. secret. 】

【do you know?The more people who claim to have no secrets, the more well-hidden they are, as long as they find the key. 】Ah Huang jumped up and down among the captives with all his strength, 【Maybe I can lobby for you. 】

[Why don't I buy a piece of land and build a house by myself. 】

[The land is currently prohibited from any transaction, unless you drive away the underworld families who live nearby, and occupy their manors and change them to your base. 】

[It's actually very easy to get rid of them, why don't you do it? 】

【why would?Keeping them is tantamount to telling the people in the territory that everything is business as usual, and before freeing up their hands to build this place, it is necessary for those local snakes to exist. 】

[Then recruit officials and manage this place first, otherwise the outside world will see that there is an earl and it is the same as if there is no improvement, and there will be people talking about it. 】

[No money.There is not enough money to build Salter Village, and she has to keep most of it for magic experiments. 】

【Where are the research results in her hands?Anything that can't be exchanged for money? 】

[They are all made directly by magic, and are not suitable for production in the factory. She has to wait for the factory to be built before doing research. There are many new tools and machines that need to be improved. The refill of the mechanical pencil is so thin, she I have no clue what tools to use to make exactly the same. 】

[God!What does it matter to her!She really can't do business! 】Harding hates iron and steel, spinning all over the ground, anxious to death.

【What's the meaning?Want to fight? 】Ah Huang roared in a low voice.

[Let me ask you, does that refill contain magic element materials? 】

[No, no, just used a few magic ink raw materials and some new raw materials. 】

[That's all right, let's recruit businessmen, they will figure out how to improve the tools to produce products, she doesn't need to worry about it, all she has to do is know how to read the books, pay dividends at the end of the year, and concentrate on her new research. 】

【It's that simple? 】

【It's that simple!In terms of factory production, those merchants and factory owners are experts. Since the raw materials do not contain elemental materials, she has nothing to worry about. She just needs to find a reliable merchant to open a shop together.The reason why magicians are rich is that they use their own research results to cooperate with different businessmen. Apart from the monthly fixed magician allowance issued by the guild, dividends are the bulk of their income. 】

[The magician turned out to be half a businessman. 】

【Magicians have no land income, and their daily expenses are high. Both parties benefit from cooperation with merchants. Why not do it?Magicians are different from territorial nobles. They have land. They can't grow food, but at least they can grow pastures to raise livestock. Magicians are more from ordinary civilians, and they have become respected masters from nothing.In fact, the relationship between these two groups is not too close, but the intermarriage of a small number of people has blinded some people's eyes. After a little careful investigation, it can be found that most of the mages who intermarried with nobles are also from the same class.As long as the parliamentarians don't violate the interests of the mages at the annual meeting, the mages don't care how they run the country. 】

[Then those magicians who are engaged in politics are also of noble origin? 】

[You can see who they intermarried with.Even if the ancestors were commoners, they have been nobles for several generations. 】

[What happened to the family of magicians?Isn't that Miss Nuolaer in the school the child of Archmage Nuolaer? 】

[The Noral family must be put together with the Barbara family. The Noral family is a branch of the Barbara family. The two families trace their ancestors back to the same ancestor. He contributed a lot in the War of Founding of the People's Republic of China, devoted all his family members and all his property, and tried his best to block the powerful northern enemies who took advantage of the fire to loot them. Only then did the present Gulisi Third Kingdom come into existence. 】

[Since it is such a respected family, why do the children in the family behave like that at school? 】

[After so many generations, of course there will be some changes. It is impossible for generations of descendants to be like their ancestors.The Noral family bears the title of a family of magicians, and loves to marry talented female mages the most. Female students who are promoted to senior grades will be secretly investigated. Once someone becomes a full-fledged mage, they will contact them. 】

【Do you know what Tongtong will say if she knows this? 】

【say what? 】

[She would say that this is like the mating of pure-blooded animals. 】

【Hey!This is so rude!These exchanges are sincere, and those young female mages can live a good life after marrying in. The Noral family just wants to keep their title of magician family, and there is no other malice. With the support of the family, they They can freely carry out their favorite research without worrying about lack of money. 】

[The purpose of the initial contact was too deliberate. Even if there is sincerity, how much can be accounted for? No one knows whether they are really happy or not.Since the ancestors of Noral and Barbara are a family, it means that the Duke of Barbara naturally has the support of a group of magicians. If there is a conflict of interest, whether they will harm the interests of other magicians is two things. .If you praise their family to the sky, I will not agree with my family Tongtong to accept their family's marriage proposal. 】

[Hey hey hey, I'm not a matchmaker for someone else! 】Harding is in a hurry, why is this stupid cat's comprehension so poor!
[Not the best. 】Ah Huang's beard shook at Harding a few times,【If you want to marry her, just pursue her honestly and earnestly, and exchange your heart for your heart. Don't think about contacting her with a strange purpose from the beginning, and abducting her It's only when you get tricked that you show your true colors. If you dare to hurt her, I will make that person disappear. 】

【What stimulated you?We didn't seem to be talking about this at all in the first place, okay? 】

[It’s not all about the palace banquet last time. Those men and women’s faces are really ugly. I know all about their little thoughts. I spent two months walking around the capital drawing maps for nothing. I've heard of men, but they have a good mouth and can coax women, and my family has a good temper. If it were me, I would have left long ago. 】

[Nonsense.The scenes in the social circle are just talking, if you really want to tell people where the matchmaker will be on that kind of occasion. 】Harding rolled his eyes, jumped up, and stepped a prisoner who was trying to get up back to the ground.

[I really shouldn't have told you so much, as if I don't think anyone is a good person.I'll take them back, it's up to you. 】Ah Huang's tail flicked, and people and belongings were hidden in the underground space, and it sank and left.

Harding licked his lips, carefully closed the back door of the kitchen with a broken lock, and went back to the capital.
