Alien landlady

Chapter 168 Multiple Reasons
"Great, keep this momentum, don't lose to anyone, let Dwyer see how worthless he sacrificed you, give that heartless man a hard slap, and let him know that it's dangerous to underestimate women of."

"Yes! He treats me like this, I must make him look good!" Daly clenched her hands into fists, thinking of her deceased parents and brother, her chest was burning with anger, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

"That's right, please continue to work hard tomorrow, but in my personal opinion, don't go to your relatives tomorrow, but spend a few days doing a peripheral investigation to see what their attitude is now, I guess They must have heard about the fake queen, and there must be people talking about it in the streets and alleys, as long as you listen carefully, you can get a lot of useful information."

"I see. I will do so. Thank you, Mr. Pollock. I am so relieved that you came in time. Thank you."

"It's my job to make sure you're all right, so that I can leave with peace of mind when I go back."

"But you'll come back again, won't you?"

"Of course, I will come again, but I need to go back to report the progress here at any time. If everything goes well on your side, our respected Majesty Askem IV will also be happy. You know, political mistakes, Even a little bit may lead to big consequences that cannot be ended."

"Yes, thank you His Majesty Askem IV for supporting me. With so many of you helping me, I will not let you down."

"Then, it's getting late, and I should go to Devil City to take a look. Although that lady is capable and invincible, she is also quite willful."

"Really capable people always have a little temper that ordinary people don't have, but they are qualified to do so. I am quite envious of Tongtong, she is really capable. You go, if it gets dark, it will be difficult to find her gone."

"I'll go right away, good night, Your Majesty, I'll come to see you tomorrow." Pollock kissed Daly's finger again, and took Harding to run away through the window with the wind.

Daly came to the table and sat down, laid out the pen and paper, and seriously thought about and wrote her next plan.

It didn't take long for Pollock to find Bai Tongtong when he arrived in Devil City. Although she went deep into the hinterland, he still had Harding's nose. As soon as he arrived in Devil Town, he smelled the cat's smell and ran over.

Looking from the air to the ground, on the endless grassland, in the middle of a group of strange-looking low rocky mountains, on the dry bank next to the small river, there is a big tent and a bunch of burning bonfires, which are still very conspicuous.

Bai Tongtong was making dinner at that time, and there was half a pot of fish soup in the pot, which was made of fresh fish caught from the river. While adding ingredients to it, he waited for the soup to boil to milky white, but an uninvited guest fell from the sky. He sniffed the aroma of the fish soup deeply by the side of the pot, looking like he was waiting to eat something ready-made, but it was strange that Harding didn't follow, and Ah Huang turned his ears in surprise.

Bai Tongtong glared at Pollock angrily, but he cheekily circled around and found the hole that Bai Tongtong had dug underground during the day. He poured the wind into it, and immediately knew how deep she had dug, and must have dug a lot. ore.

Harding suddenly appeared at the speed of the wind, and smashed straight to the ground. On the wet tidal rocks by the water, a large pile of shellfish, fish, shrimp and seafood flew out of its collar.

Ah Huang rushed over immediately, waving his paws left and right, picking out the big ones, first pulling out a small pile, pushing them far away, and then ran to Bai Tongtong and wagged his tail like offering treasures.

Harding put away his wolf look, and looked at Bai Tongtong with a loyal shepherd dog face and moist innocent dog eyes, Pollock leaned forward meanly, "How about it, I exchange seafood for your fish soup?"

Bai Tongtong squinted at the two piles of seafood, "The seafood is quite fresh, but the question is, who will do it?"

Pollock took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves, as if he was going to work, "Your servant is in charge of cleaning up and tidying up afterward, think about it?"

Bai Tongtong didn't believe that he would clean up after eating by himself, instead of relying on Harding to run away and throw it elsewhere, but this sincerity still needs to be encouraged, "Okay, this is what you say, and you do what you say arrive."

"Make sure no one knows that there is a seafood dinner here tonight."

Seeing that the deal was settled, Pollock started working immediately without delay, while Harding and Ah Huang shared the rest of the pile, and heard the two of them cracking shells and grunting happily as they ate. the sound of.

Bai Tongtong still boiled her fish soup slowly, and glanced at Pollock who was squatting by the water washing seafood from time to time, seeing that his movements were quite neat, knowing what to remove and what to leave, Bai Tongtong felt that there should be no need to worry about eating later to inedible dirty things.

The amount Ah Huang picked out was just enough for two people to eat. Bai Tongtong was not in a hurry to do it first, but shared the small pot of fish soup with Pollock. He took out a bottle of white wine specially prepared for seafood, and other matching beautiful wine sets. He put the bottle in the ice bucket, sat at the table and waited for the next seafood feast, while talking to Bai Tongtong about the palace in the afternoon. About the tea party.

"So blatantly wanting to provoke a domestic civil war, doesn't Dewell just want to poison you to death?" Bai Tongtong carefully sorted the seafood and cooked them carefully.

"That's why I showed off your identity vigorously. The effect is obvious. They began to be afraid and didn't want to attack you at all."

"The guild is empty right now, aren't you afraid that someone will sneak in and destroy the teleportation array?"

"Break it again, and this matter will end here. Go back to China directly, and Daly doesn't care about it. With her age and experience, she can't even write a decent program for governing the country."

"Otherwise, why did her father choose Dwyer, who is in his 30s, because he hoped to use his power in the military to help her manage the country well. At that time, even ordinary people had a premonition that there might be war, but suddenly , the former queen died of illness, her husband succeeded to the throne and established a new dynasty, and the hidden dangers were eliminated. Yesterday in the town, many people told me that just after a few days of happy and peaceful life, another fake queen appeared to compete with the new king for the throne , and began to worry about whether there was going to be a war.”

"It is to create such a situation, set up the stage for Daly, and watch her compete with Dwyer on the same stage. Give them more time, and the outcome will come naturally."

"Do you think Daly has hope?"

"If one of her five great landowner relatives would help her, there might be a real chance of making Dwyer very miserable."

"That's all. The private army of the nobles is fighting against the national army. It's really hard to say who will win, especially now that the people have accepted the new king. It is not easy for Daly to expose the truth and regain her identity. Yes, if I don't want to restore my identity at all, but ask for an autopsy to avenge the queen under the name of the former queen's sudden death. Then I think, not only those relatives of the former royal family, but also other nobles They may come out and respond more.”

"You must not tell Daly that. Helping is not like this. If she came up with the countermeasures, it would be the same."

"We are foreigners, and we have a firm bottom line for intervening in the affairs of other countries. But didn't you say that you want to set the stage for Daly, and you will regret what you said earlier?"

"This stage is a bit big. Our main goal is to block the enemy in the south, not to intervene in Biddle's civil war."

"Okay, I know what you mean. You want to create a situation where Biddle is going to fight a civil war, attracting the enemies from the south to take advantage, and then I will teach them to show my strength, and call Dwyer and Daly for In the process, Gulisi will get the benefits of Devil City's long-term mining rights and so on, with the ultimate goal of obtaining stable ore supply."

"Well, that's the obvious goal."

"There are hidden ones?"

"Train your cat's fighting power. You are too weak. When the enemies from the south come over, play slowly, don't play to death all at once."

"Like a cat playing with its prey?"

"By the way, give full play to the virtues of cats, and remember to let them go when they are dying."

"How much hatred is this tossing?"

"Some pirates are raised by that country in private, and they don't even bother to mention their country names."

"Huh? Oh. Maritime trade between two continents, big fat sheep."

"In the sea areas where pirates are rampant, there are many wrecks of ocean-going ships under the sea. Once this kind of ship encounters pirates, almost no one survives. They must kill them all, remove the cargo, and burn the ship. It might as well encounter a sea storm, at least there is a certain chance of escaping the storm area alive."

"It seems that you must have lost a lot of ships, and you are gnashing your teeth with hatred."

"It hurts to think about it, countless."

"So that's the real purpose of bringing me here."

"As a nobleman, it is your duty to do things for His Majesty." Pollock snapped a big hat on.

"What special products are there? Let the fleet know the danger or go?"

"Allspice tea."

"Ok?"

"The most expensive variety of Duoxiang tea, Xuexian Duoxiang, is an extremely special and rare variety. Only that country has superb planting techniques. But because their king and nobles privately funded some pirates, it caused us to send ten merchant ships in the past. , only one or two lucky ones will be able to return with the valuable goods exchanged.”

"Won't the returning ship be robbed by pirates?"

"That's why we found out that the pirates were related to them. The merchant ships carrying the tea would have a special flag on them, and then they could sail out of the dangerous area smoothly all the way."

"If there's a storm, it's all over, right?"

"God's temper can't be controlled by humans, but we still have to find a way to deal with pirates."

"All these were discovered after the teleportation array?"

"Hmm. With the teleportation array, I discovered the truth about the loss of merchant ships. When the old king was still there, he helped a lot. He gave money to subsidize the lowland coastal countries, and asked their warships to fight pirates at sea. Soldiers' pensions The construction and maintenance of the ship and the construction and maintenance of the ship are all paid by the treasury. This is how the situation improved a little bit. As a result, within a few years, the De Vere coup was replaced. The broken ship that escaped from the circle was intercepted by pirates not far from a supply port."

"This complicated cause and effect." Bai Tongtong shook his head and ignored the relationship inside, "You must have sunk the pirate ship."

"Of course, I don't care if they are free pirates or state pirates sponsored by others, as long as they hang the pirate flag, they deserve to be sunk."

"Heh heh heh, I asked you to bring me here before and you refused, but now you want me to come here again when I have to work." Bai Tongtong had a face ready to ask for a price.

"At that time, I didn't know that I would be assigned this job, so of course I couldn't agree to let Harding fly across the entire continent just because you wanted to come here to see the scenery. It was not in line with my businessman's style of doing things."

Bai Tongtong turned around and waved her big spoon, really wanted to knock his bag on the head, he really dared to say it.

"Then why did His Majesty appoint you?"

"Because I'm the best smuggler?" Pollock laughed tremblingly.

"I decided to put medicine in your portion of the dish."

"It's so easy to swap plates when you're not looking."

"I put medicine on both plates, and by the way, I have the antidote."

"The scumbag also put another medicine in the two plates. By the way, there is also an additional antidote." Pollock's cheap smile looks better than a slut just because he doesn't have an obscene temperament, but he still deserves a beating.

"Okay, we must avenge those dead crew members." Bai Tongtong rolled his eyes, imagined the scene of knocking Pollock flat with a large pot and spoon a hundred times in his mind, turned around and continued to concentrate on cooking.

"Turn them as hard as you can, make them tremble at the sound of your name," Pollock added.

"Well, don't worry, Ah Huang will definitely be able to do it." Bai Tongtong responded lazily.

"And you, don't always rely on cats to help you fight."

"NYA!" Ah Huang raised his head and loudly agreed with Pollock's words.

Bai Tongtong glared at the little traitor, Ah Huang shook his head at her, and then jumped at Harding to fight for a big fish with him.

The seafood feast was served on a simple foldable small table one by one, and the wine brought by Pollock tasted first-class. The two enjoyed a wonderful dinner together with the two monsters.

After clearing up the aftermath, Pollock rushed back to the capital. Harding was not in a hurry to return to Daly's side, and he would have time to go there tomorrow morning.

Some members of the team sneaked back to rest at the km, and reported to Pollock all the news they had heard.

Before going to bed, Bai Tongtong used magic to refine all the ores she dug today into magic magnetic powder, and then used that alchemy book as a bedtime reading. Unexpectedly, after reading a few pages, the more she read, the more energetic she became. The appearance of how to use the magic magnetic ore showed that this book was a new book published in recent years, which made her very eager to learn to operate a few experiments according to the content introduced in it.

She chose the magic related to wind, sound transmission.
