Alien landlady

Chapter 149 Meet Again
Ah Huang threw the prisoner in the yard outside the back door of the kitchen, and asked Bai Tongtong to go downstairs to have a look. When he used the candor technique to ask for a statement, Harding was also reporting to Farrell about the unexpected visitor in Bai Tongtong's manor. How many things have been stolen from the house since time.

Those thieves were really not ordinary thieves, they were men sent by the neighbor next door, trying to steal the documents accumulated by the Leibney family over the years, and they didn't want to leave paper evidence that would be unfavorable to their family as a handle for others.It's just that the subordinates took advantage of the money and took some valuables, but they were unlucky and were caught by Ah Huang and Harding.

Bai Tongtong buried half of the captives in the ground, and went back to the bedroom with Ah Huang, and put the confidential documents brought back from the safe last time into a space bag, and Ah Huang returned to the yard with the space bag in his mouth. When the captive returned to Wismar, he first went to Bai's Manor, took away the remaining documents in the study, living room and other rooms, and then emerged from the house of the captive's boss, scaring their family members to panic and scream.

Ah Huang put down the interspatial bag, yelled threateningly, then picked up the bottom of the bag, dumped the documents on the ground, and then completed the task, Shi Shi ran back to the guild.

These underworld families who have done all kinds of bad things will be eradicated sooner or later, it is better to let them bite the dog first.

Farrell was disturbed by Harding's report. If Bai Tongtong didn't care about showing her presence in Wismar, her territory would exist in name only, and she would hold it for nothing. She didn't have time for such a good place. It's such a shame to operate.

After thinking about it, Farrell directly wrote a note to Bai Tongtong, asking her about the construction plans of the two territories, and if there was anything he, a senior, could help.

I was discussing the issue of space magic, but when I saw this new note that abruptly changed the topic, Bai Tongtong couldn't help thinking of what Pollock said, hoping to rent her manor and use it as a transit point for smuggling in the name of taking care of the house for her. .

Ah Huang also found out that Pollock has the right to enter and exit the palace, which makes it very likely that the real identity this guy concealed is beyond all her previous imagination. Maybe he and Farrell belong to the same class in terms of social status.

The room where Pollock drinks tea is in the same corridor as the banquet hall. Ah Huang just didn’t see him in the room, which doesn’t mean that he really left. The tea tray doesn’t mean that the palace servants didn’t clean it up in time, it’s more likely that it’s that guy Just being away temporarily so the room doesn't have to be cleaned.

During the palace banquet, the smuggler with the wind-type instant wolf stayed nearby, and the devil believed that there was a pure reason for him to do so.

Bai Tongtong thought about it, decided to take a risk, and asked Farrell if he knew about the smugglers who were active in the capital.

Farrell floated the note in front of his eyes, propped his chin on his palm, and stared at Harding.

[Anyway, the cat said, sincerity for heart, the guy who dares to lure his girl into a pit and show his true face, it will definitely make that person disappear. 】Harding laid on the ground lazily with an expression of "don't worry, do whatever you want", looking up at Farrell.

[Don't worry, don't worry, just hold on for a few more months, and when Master Jules sends the graduate away, I won't have to instruct her in her homework, and the contact will be reduced, and her focus will return to Pollock. 】

【coward!I despise you! 】

Farrell whistled, and replied to Bai Tongtong on a note that he didn't know the smugglers, and he didn't deal with them in his daily work.

Harding's contempt for him could not be increased, and he decided not to watch him and Bai Tongtong talking nonsense, stood up and left the study, went back to his bedroom and jumped on his bed to sleep.

Bai Tongtong didn't pursue this question any further, put the note aside and continued with her homework.

Early the next morning, Bai Tongtong went to Soller City. Through the introduction of the guild, he found a painter who was good at drawing animals, and brought back his own territory to give Ah Huang a portrait, which was used as a trademark of magic-related products.Then she found an ordinary domestic cat from a villager's house in Salter Village, a docile and cute little white female cat about half a year old, and gave it to the artist for portraits to be used as trademarks for non-magic-related products.

Painting animals is not an easy task. In order to pick the best ones, the artist will stay for several days and paint many different forms, including large heads, busts and full-length portraits, and even portraits showing the state of activity.

The little female cat is like a real animal model, and it behaves very professionally. If you put a chair outdoors and put it on it, you can keep it motionless.I don't know if it's because Ah Huang was scared by its high-level magic beast's breath, anyway, the artist painted it very easily, and painted seven or eight watercolor sketches in three days, and Bai Tongtong took them for everyone to discuss and choose.

Ah Huang is not so cooperative. It hates to maintain a posture for a long time, and it always changes. In the same three days, it only drew three pictures. However, when the word is opened, most people disagree One of them was unanimously selected, which was a bust of Ah Huang. It was lying on a chair, facing the painter, with its front legs crossed and resting on the edge of the chair. , with eyes wide open, you can feel the sacred and inviolable aura of the cat king across the canvas.

The portrait of the little female cat has a straight sitting posture, which looks like a dignified and generous cat lady.

During the few days waiting for the portrait, Bai Tongtong designed several different test papers, and then wrote to Seiya’s husband Balbo, she wanted to find a cooperative manufacturer for the magic automatic refill, one of Bai’s stationery, interested parties need Come to the guild for an interview in person and accept the ability test.

Balbo wrote back on the third day and found several powerful factory owners. Two or three days later, after Ah Huang's last portrait was painted, Balbo and his group came out from the teleportation array .

After the two sides introduced each other, Bai Tongtong took them to the restaurant for a test. The factory owners were given a comprehensive test paper of mathematics, physics and chemistry, just to see if the knowledge level of the factory owner met the standards she needed. If she doesn't understand, she has no time to train workers.

This sudden exam made it difficult for all the factory owners. They never expected to pass such a hurdle in doing business with Bai Tongtong. It has never been so complicated to talk about cooperation with people before. Of course, no one finished the paper and passed the test. .

There is no way, I can only invite them back, but allow them to find other craftsmen or apprentices to try again, if it still doesn't work, she will send invitation letters to merchants in other cities, and only the person with the best grades can get further negotiations Chance.

However, as a reward for their great support, Bai Tongtong invited them to have lunch together and dine at the same table with the magicians. It was up to them whether they could get new business opportunities.

After these factory owners returned to Fort Chamington, the news spread to other places through various channels. Only a day or two later, Farrell heard in the capital that Bai Tongtong had to take an exam before finding a partner.

It just so happened that he also got a piece of new information about her, thinking that she might be interested, he took Harding to Bai Tongtong's place after get off work that day.

Still using the old routine, Harding sneakily left a message for Ah Huang, waiting for it to bring Bai Tongtong out, avoid those magicians and their familiars, and use wind travel to bring them to the abandoned patrol camp to meet.

Only this time, Bai Tongtong was holding a plate in his hand.

"I said, Mr. Pollock, how shameful you are. You act like a thief every time, a wanted criminal." Bai Tongtong teased, and handed the plate to Pollock who was sitting on the tree stump.

There is also a large vegetable leaf on the bottom of the plate, and five small ribs are placed on it. Each rib is wrapped with yellow millet-shaped round wheat. It is made like glutinous rice ribs. After steaming, put a few green onions for decoration. Pretty and delicious.

"Of course smugglers should try their best to avoid being known by too many people. Anyway, smuggling is tax evasion. The more tax evasion, the faster you die. I haven't lived enough yet." Pollock took the plate with both hands with a smile, whistling It was hot, and tasted a piece carefully.

Bai Tongtong raised a stone bench and sat down opposite him, "With the tax evasion you have done for so many years, how many times can you die?"

"My lord is working diligently towards the title of the most notorious smuggler in history." Pollock looked very sincere, but the image of his teeth gnashing his ribs was a bit funny.

"Then I wish you a long life, and live to the age when you become a leader in the smuggling industry."

"I believe it can be achieved." Pollock put down the clean bones and licked his mouth happily, "It's delicious, and the team must be very happy to have you in it. You have been a mercenary for so long, and you have eaten a lot of weird things. something?"

"That's not necessarily the case, I'm picky eater too."

"Are you still picky eaters?"

"Generally speaking, everything in the world is divided into what can be eaten and what can't be eaten. What can be eaten is divided into what is delicious and what is not. What is delicious is divided into what I eat and what I don't eat."

"You can even use water grass roots as seasonings, and what else do you not eat?"

Bai Tongtong thought for a while, scratched his face, and grinned, "I don't eat people."

Pollock spat out the second bone and nodded solemnly, "Thank you very much for not eating people, I am relieved."

"But I eat fried bugs. Would you like to come to my Sunday roast in May and I'll get you some fried bugs? The tree caterpillar stuff, with pupae." Bai Tongtong rested her chin on her left hand, and moved her right hand a few times like a caterpillar wriggling.

Pollock retched with the ribs in his mouth, as if he was eating a fat worm, "Thank you, no need."

"Waste food. When you smuggle outside, don't you always sit in a high-end restaurant in full clothes, and never get food from the wild to fill your stomach?"

"I can eat anything, but bugs are never on my menu."

"Tch, I don't know how to enjoy food." Bai Tongtong smacked his lips, "Tell me, why did you suddenly appear this time?"

"Of course I heard interesting news. You hung the Countess of Kinloch on the wall of the palace."

Bai Tongtong tried his best to resist the urge to strangle this playful guy in front of him to death, and dared to open his eyes and ask the truth, so that she would not let her seize the opportunity to deal with him in the future.

"Yeah, she spoke rudely to me, didn't salute me, and even scolded me." Bai Tongtong twitched her lips and spoke pitifully of herself.

"You never thought that you were in the palace at that time?"

"Oh, I'm the countess, she's the countess's wife, why doesn't she think she's in the palace when she scolds me? Know that every word she says will even reach the ears of the servants who take out the trash. Just bully I'm newly conferred, and she's an old hereditary nobleman, so I can't do what she can do, and she's a victim, so I need a warning."

"Stop it, don't talk, stop here, I'm not here to listen to complaints." Pollock threw away the bone, picked up the next piece in two or three bites, and gnawed it clean again.

"Then what are you here for?"

"I'm here to sell favors." Pollock raised his eyebrows and curled his lips meanly.

"Are you going to cheat Earl Kinloch?"

"Smugglers shouldn't make enemies with people." Pollock's eyes widened.

"Then you talk so much nonsense."

"Sell your news in exchange?"

"Change what?"

"Ask knowingly, what else can you change. You are so calm, has no one talked to you about business recently?"

"I think it is good for me to hang Mrs. Kinloch on the wall, so that everyone will not forget why I became the Earl of Wismar. If you don't want to be the next one, you'd better be polite to me."

"So your place has been so cold recently that no nobles have taken the initiative to get close to you?"

"I'm already very busy. If they don't come, I'll be quiet. I don't have time to entertain guests."

"How about letting my servant lighten the burden for you?" Pollock finally finished eating the steamed pork ribs, licking his lips with unsatisfied desire, and feeling even hungrier as he handed back the plate.

Bai Tongtong ignored him, threw away the vegetable leaves, quickly made a stream of water with his hands and feet, washed the dishes and put them into the ring, then looked up at Pollock, and said "ah" with a blank expression, "What did you just say?"

"I just said that your spellcasting proficiency has improved again." Pollock blinked and changed his words.

"Oh, did you see it? So obvious?" Bai Tongtong was beaming, not mentioning that this was not what Pollock said earlier.

"Is there a mage training you specifically?"

"What do you want the mage to do? They just need to come over to eat, drink, and play. They don't have to worry about this kind of thing. Ah Huang is enough."

"Oh, it is finally useful as a magic pet, but they are indeed the best teachers, and the tacit understanding between the two of you can be honed through repeated sparring." Pollock looked around, Ah Huang and Harding both No, I don't know where to go again.

"Yeah, I think so too." Bai Tongtong restrained her expression and looked impatient, "The thing I hate the most about you is that you don't get on topic for half a day, and your ability to digress is better than that of women. Talking about it, I will go back to eat, so you can leave me."

"That's not acceptable. It's impolite to enter the topic without greeting after meeting. You are a nobleman now, so you must learn social etiquette."

"Time is money, wasting my mother's time is tantamount to stealing my mother's money, and robbing someone's money is tantamount to killing my parents!" Bai Tongtong glared at Pollock angrily. say!"
