Chapter 165 The New Ring
"Mr. Pollock, Tongtong, you will help me, right? Lobby them with me?" Daly said pitifully.

Bai Tongtong held the dumpling bowl, puffed out her cheeks and raised her head when she heard the sound, her eyes swept from Daly's face to Pollock.

Daly's eyes followed Bai Tongtong's to Pollock.

Pollock gave Daly a gentle smile, "My Majesty, Harding will accompany you on this trip, and the countess and I will not show up. We need to protect the safety of the guild in the rear, as you have seen these days, Dwyer doesn't want to dismantle the teleportation array all the time, and if he destroys it again, it will be difficult to repair it."

"But I'm not close to them, what if they refuse, I don't know how to persuade them."

"Dear Your Majesty, you take this as a test. As a qualified monarch, you should not be overwhelmed by such small difficulties. Do you consider yourself a qualified monarch? My Majesty the Queen." Pollock held up Daly's right hand gently pressed a kiss on the back of her hand.

Daly immersed herself in Pollock's tenderness with a face full of intoxication. She stroked her face with the other hand and nodded frequently, "I am the real Queen Daly, and I will do it, definitely."

Bai Tongtong grinned and lowered her head to eat her dumplings.

"Hardin will take you wherever you want, and accompany you in secret, and you will have to go on this trip by yourself, without the protection of soldiers, because the presence of Gulish's soldiers in your relative's territory may be in the way." Their safety. It doesn’t matter if you are there alone. For the sake of the same blood relatives, they should not murder you to show your loyalty to Dwyer. You don’t need to rush back when you are outside, and you should try your best to stay with your relatives Make a lot of public appearances in the territory, let your people know your appearance, and you must win their hearts."

"Oh, yes, beware of their loyalty to me, I will play it safe. Thank you, Mr. Pollock, for your advice."

"Before it's dark, Her Majesty the Queen hastened to pack her luggage and leave early tomorrow morning. We'll have dinner together on the street later."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Daly carried her skirt and left happily. Bai Tongtong put down the empty bowl, gave Pollock two thumbs up, and then snapped her fingers to draw out the magic water to clean all the used pots and bowls. Fill the small kettle with water, take out the tea set and prepare to make tea.

Pollock continued to read the book, the brand-new gilt cover of Advanced Alchemy in his hand was shining brightly in the sunlight coming in from the window.

Probably because she thought that starting tomorrow, she would start an important lobbying activity under Dwyer's national arrest. Daly packed her luggage excitedly. The months-long fugitive career has trained her strong self-care ability. The movement was fast, and when she rushed downstairs to the morning room to announce that she was ready, Bai Tongtong's tea had just been brewed.

The three of them were drinking tea while chatting about magic topics that they were all interested in. The afterglow of the setting sun outside gradually swept across the window sill. When it was half light and half dark, the three of them ended their pleasant chat and cleaned up the morning room. Locke took the two ladies to a street in another corner of the city to find a restaurant for dinner.

Bai Tongtong has only a half-knowledge of the local accent, and there are many unfamiliar slang words, so she pretends to be dumb, hums a few words occasionally, and relies on Pollock and Daly to communicate with the waiter.

Harding and Ah Huang, who were staying in the guild, were chasing and beating in the yard boredly, and ran into a man who sneaked in through the iron gate, wearing the clothes of a court servant, holding an envelope in his hand, and stuffed it into the gate of the main building. Under the door, and leave quickly.

The two animals sneaked back into the house curiously, tore off the envelope and took out the letter. Looking at the last signature, it turned out to be an autographed letter from De Vere I abroad. As the first king of the Vail dynasty, he hopes to re-establish diplomatic relations with Gulis, maintain the teleportation array, welcome the merchants of Gulis to come back to do business, and is willing to provide magic magnetic ore on a regular basis according to the practice of the Akley dynasty Experiment with magicians.

Harding tilted his head and thought for a while, then put the letter into his collar, and the torn pieces of the envelope were blown out into the yard by the wind, Ah Huang jumped out after him, and buried the shredded paper in the ground.

[Remember to remind your partner later, don't let Daly know the existence of this letter. This letter from Dwyer is meant to sow discord, lest she cause trouble. ] Harding told Ah Huang, 【You should have noticed that her mood is sometimes unstable. 】

【If you don't tell her now, she will know about it later. 】

[Then let her know later.The current situation is indeed that Dwyer has the upper hand, and Daly is overwhelmed. If she cannot grow into a qualified king in the process, Gulis will naturally give up her support and recognize the Dwyer dynasty instead. , At that time, she has no capital to raise objections; and if she becomes evenly matched with Dwyer, she will not care too much about this matter, and Gullis will give more and better support. 】

【I know what you mean. The real intention of the old king is to bet on both sides. Whoever can win in the end will establish an ally with whomever. It doesn't matter whether a man or a woman sits on the throne. 】

[This is almost what it means. There are many new and rare new resources on the mainland. If the two countries work together, they will be able to earn benefits. I think Dwyer definitely does not want the civil war to last too long. He will definitely use all means to suppress it. against his power. 】

[If Daly's lobbying is successful, there will definitely be a few battles. He happens to have no money in the treasury, so how will he fight? Do you want me to return the money to him? 】

[We don’t need to worry about this, the money from the treasury can only be returned to the final winner. Anyway, the money was accumulated by the Akley dynasty for more than 200 years. Let’s see who these two poor kings are. And strategy is better.When they stabilize here, it will be easier for us to come here in the future, at least we don't have to worry about them dismantling the teleportation array one day when they are in a bad mood.The seafood here is delicious, right?Unlike the ones produced in the cold sea in the east, the mollusk and hard-shell animals taste better and are larger. 】

[NYA!Those conch are delicious! 】Ah Huang showed a greedy look of not eating enough.

[We will go again tomorrow. 】Harding also licked his mouth, recalling the strange fish he saw on the sea today, he must try one next time.

[NYA! 】Ah Huang shook his beard and looked full of energy, 【I heard that there are many pirates at sea, and we can make some windfall. 】

【…】Harding flicked his tail like a dog, agreeing with Ah Huang's words.

In the evening, after the three of Bai Tongtong who had eaten outside came back, Ah Huang and Harding respectively told their partners about the letter, and Bai Tongtong handed over the matter to Pollock without mentioning a word to Daly.

None of the soldiers came back. They were hanging out as mercenaries, and they would come back every few days at most to report the information they had collected.

After persuading Daly to go to bed early, Bai Tongtong dragged Pollock to the guild's laboratory to make a new storage ring, and insisted on adding a magic pet collar.

Pollock generously agreed, threw out the bag of magic magnetic powder, and asked Bai Tongtong to take out all the other raw materials needed and arrange them in a row on the laboratory bench. Lay it out on another lab bench.

Then, Pollock took out the advanced alchemy book he had been reading all afternoon, turned to the bookmarked page, read out the required amount of each ingredient according to the scriptures, put them in different containers and put them aside for later use. Unexpectedly, the amount of magic magnetic powder used is not small at all, and it can be regarded as one of the main materials.

First of all, the metal raw materials used to make the ring setting and collar setting must be melted and re-integrated. The whole heating process uses magic flames, and the temperature is high enough. Even if the magic magnetic powder is thrown in, it will be completely melted within a few minutes.

After the metal liquid is ready, it is stretched and shaped directly. Master Jules' special training has played a real role. It is not the level that Bai Tongtong used to cast magic with one heart and one mind. As long as the rhythm of casting spells is formed, there will be inertia. Casting three spells is not too difficult.The difficulty that Bai Tongtong encounters now is to control the magic flame to maintain the temperature of the metal liquid, while continuing to draw the liquid with water-based magic, and complete the process of designing, making and finalizing the shape in the air.

And Pollock's so-called help is to give Bai Tongtong a little cool breeze while blowing the magic flame, and remind her to pay attention to the sweat dripping from her forehead. If any drop falls on the raw materials, it will be scrapped.

Bai Tongtong endured the desire to bite Pollock to death, gritted her teeth and worked hard to complete the setting of the new ring. She didn't expect to make a complicated shape, only a ring was enough, but such a simple idea was really difficult to make. Disaster.

Pollock was leisurely flipping through the book, raising his head from time to time to remind Bai Tongtong to pay attention to wiping his sweat.

His voice was undoubtedly an intentional interference and distraction, but what surprised him was that Bai Tongtong looked a little exhausted, but he hadn't spilled the controlled ingredients, but was still working hard I want to make the ring more round.

Originally, she could easily make water rings connected in series with water flow. It is also a liquid substance, but it is much more difficult to melt metal.

When she was about to be unable to hold on any longer, Bai Tongtong's brain suddenly opened up, and she gave up making ring holders, and stretched out more metal wires, twisting them like a twist to form a bigger ring. She decided to make A Huang's collar holder first.

Each twist point is a gemstone bracket, such a complete necklace can be inlaid with at least seven Mofei gemstones, making it a luxurious version of the collar that cannot be sold in the market.

Pollock saw Bai Tongtong's intentions, and exchanged a glance with Harding. Currently, there were only three inlaid on its collar, and he dared not show it to others. Ah Huang's fur was shorter than Harding's, and the collar had The precious stones will definitely be exposed, which is really a show off that makes people want to kill.

The production of the collar set was progressing very quickly, and it was formed in one go. Pollock immediately took over to help her complete the subsequent cooling and shaping process. Come again.

With sweat on his face, Bai Tongtong gritted his teeth and made one last effort, while watching Pollock's movements from the corner of his eye. The collar bracket, which was clearly metallic silver just now, changed its color as the temperature dropped a little bit. It is also changing, slowly turning into brown-gray similar to magic magnetic powder, or matte gray, giving people a sense of stability and elegance.

Looking at the closed loop collar holder, Bai Tongtong had an idea, put the extracted liquid metal wire back into the crucible to form a bead shape, and then finely controlled a tiny tornado to quickly rotate the liquid metal wire in the crucible. The liquid bead turned into a perfectly round ring. After finishing the magic, she lifted it out in one fell swoop and handed it over to Pollock. After that, she completely stopped and sat down on the ground without any strength left.

Ah Huang stepped forward and licked the sweat from Bai Tongtong's head, but Pollock was telling Ah Huang to go to work, cutting gems.

The Bai Tongtong he handed over to him at the beginning was a semi-finished product that had only been processed and not cut or polished. After she got the item, she threw it in the ring without touching it. Now it is going to be inlaid, but there is no ready-made gemstone, so she has to do it on the spot. , Pollock himself is helpless enough, complaining that Bai Tongtong is too lazy to be good enough.

It only takes a yawn for Huang to do this. Pollock can clarify the required size and shape, and Huang can control the ferocious earth element to complete it in an instant. The final effect can rival the craftsmanship of the greatest gem craftsman. And the time and energy spent by craftsmen to polish a perfect gem cannot be calculated.

Pollock still had the attitude of looking for guidance from the book. He floated the book by his side, took a look and moved it, took some magic magnetic powder and other metal materials from the table and refined it again with high-temperature flames. , he took a few drops of blood from Bai Tongtong's fingertips and added them, and finally got a semi-solid metal wire as thin as a hair, and then manipulated this ribbon to instill it into the gem with alchemy spells, drawing and storing it inside. A space magic circle is used, and a storage gem is produced.

The rest of the inlays are even more insignificant. As soon as the ring setting mixed with magic magnetism touches the gemstone, it will be connected with the magic magnet circle inside.

Using the same method, a second storage gem was made and inlaid on the collar. Pollock took the two things to Bai Tongtong, first put the ring on her who was tired and stupid, and then put the collar in her hand.

The ring was tight enough, and Bai Tongtong wondered how she could control the size so well, but when she wanted to put this completely closed collar on Ah Huang's neck, she realized that it was the strong suction force of the magic magnet that automatically controlled the size. The collar was stretched and put on Ah Huang's head, and when she let go, she saw the collar shrink slowly, fitting perfectly to Ah Huang's neck.The collar of the same color is hidden in the hair and is not conspicuous, but the gem is protruding, as if it is directly attached to Ah Huang's chin.

Because of the use of Bai Tongtong's blood, she can more accurately know everything in the ring and collar, and Ah Huang can't hide his treasure from her, but Bai Tongtong won't just look it up so boringly.

Ah Huang raised his head and walked up to Harding to show off his new collar. Pollock smiled and reached out to Bai Tongtong to pull her up.
