Alien landlady

Chapter 169
In Bai Tongtong's understanding, the sound transmission technique is probably similar to Shunfenger, which is to let the wind transmit the sound from a distance to his ears. However, the use environment introduced in the book is actually used for watching plays in the theater, and different angles on the stage Put a few, and put a few corresponding ones in front of the seats in the back rows, so that the audience in the back seats can hear the voices of the actors more clearly.

Bai Tongtong felt that this use environment was too wasteful, and it was more valuable to use it for monitoring, so she took out the magic drawing book, traced it according to the picture in the book, and then took out the cut magic spar, and made A pair of sound transmission runestones.

Ah Huang ran out with one of them in his mouth to find a business traveler camping on the regular route, while Bai Tongtong sat in the tent guarding the other, testing what sounds he could hear.

At first, I couldn't hear anything, but gradually, there was some wind noise, and it felt as if Ah Huang was running fast, and then, there was some faint noise in the wind noise, until I could clearly hear people's voices, especially when they were rushing. The screams were clearest when I saw Ah Huang's shiny green eyes, followed by all kinds of shouts to drive away wild beasts, it was very confusing, and I couldn't make out a few words. Finally, the human voice disappeared, and there was only the sound of the wind, which should be Ah Huang left the frightened group and went to experiment with others.

The second business travel camp was the same as the previous one, everyone was terrified, Bai Tongtong even heard some people complaining in confusion, why did the carnivorous beasts suddenly appear in Devil City.

Sitting in the tent, Bai Tongtong was laughing. She knew how far she was from the normal route. She was surprised that the effect of the sound transmission runestone was so strong, but after checking the runestone in hand, she found that it was justified. , because it is obvious that the magic power in it is being consumed rapidly.

From this point of view, sound transmission runestones are indeed more efficient in the theater environment, because the sound transmission distance is fixed, a pair of runestones can last for a long time, and if several pairs work together in the same environment at the same time, in order not to Mutual interference can be easily achieved by modifying the details of the magic patterns.

Ah Huang ran farther and farther, along the regular route, and finally ran to the Devil City checkpoint, sneaked into the officer's lounge, and passed all the chat content of the officers who were still talking to Bai Tongtong.

Fortunately, it was late, and the officers were all gossiping, no one talking about business, but the charge of wiretapping a military establishment was serious enough to warrant jail time.

Fortunately no one knew.

Ah Huang walked around inside, and Bai Tongtong even heard many soldiers talking in sleep. However, because it was experimental in nature, the runestones were the smallest in stock, and the last bit of magic power was finally exhausted. Sneak out of the checkpoint and escape back.

Just emerging from the ground, I saw Bai Tongtong hugging the book, rolling around on the mat with a blissful face.

[You don't sleep so late, and the profiteer didn't drug you, why are you so excited? 】Ah Huang threw the runestone with exhausted mana in the corner of the tent, stepped on the mat, and squeezed his head into Bai Tongtong's neck.

[Sound transmission rune stone, I have a new idea, I can make a walkie-talkie by improving it, and I can also have a telephone by improving it. 】

[Well, it’s a good idea, but please go to bed first, okay?I have to go to another place tomorrow, hurry up and run around and go back to the guild to have a look before coming back. 】

【Oh, no, running at both ends will kill you. 】Bai Tongtong stopped rolling and buried her face in the blanket.

【Take a few more trips and get used to it. Your territory and business are still waiting for you to take care of it. Since that Xuexian Duoxiang tea is so expensive, why don't you take some more back home, and treat it as a benefit for yourself. 】

[Of course I want to bring it, and I need to bring a little more of this ore, there must be more uses that have not been dug out. 】

[When we return to dig, if you don’t sleep, I’m going to sleep, go over a bit, don’t squeeze me. 】

[Hey, it's too much, it's too crowded to grab my mat! 】

Ah Huang ignored Bai Tongtong's protests. He got down on the ground and squeezed Bai Tongtong inside the tent, sharing a blanket. With his warm and furry body leaning against him, the coolness of the night on the grassland didn't feel so cold. .

After a good night's sleep, he just woke up when the sky was getting dark. After packing up and having breakfast, Ah Huang took Bai Tongtong straight to the checkpoint.

The time they arrived happened to be the time when the switch was released. The magic robe brought convenience to Bai Tongtong, so that she did not waste time when she left the customs. Tax free people.

After passing the customs is Biddle Trail, but looking around, there is no problem with four or five cars running parallel on the flat lane, not counting the thick roadbed next to it, and on both sides are virgin forests. Nothing else, obviously this is a sea passage, but you can't see the sea.

After walking for a while, the majestic buildings at the checkpoint behind him were no longer visible. Ah Huang curiously went into the forest to find the boundary of the path, and Bai Tongtong patiently waited for it to come back by the side of the road.

After a few minutes, Ah Huang ran back excitedly and reported to Bai Tongtong that he saw the sea.

Bai Tongtong immediately followed it and ran into the forest. As soon as he stepped in, it was dark. He carefully avoided stumbling dead trees, shrubs and all kinds of messy things, and ran along a straight line for a while, and the light of day appeared in front of his eyes again.

At the same time as Bai Tongtong slowed down, Ah Huang's reminder also followed, she stepped out her steps carefully, the trees gradually disappeared in front of her eyes, replaced by the endless vast sea, she was actually standing on the edge of the cliff, the cold wind from high above Throwing on her face and body, there is a sense of danger that she will lose her balance and be swept into the sea at any time, but she knows that she can't fall, the earth will protect her, but even if she really stumbles, she can see the eternity of the sea and the rising sun The classic picture is not unjustly dead.

While admiring the intoxicating scenery with full of joy, Bai Tongtong suddenly felt that her feet were empty, and she lost the feeling of being down-to-earth. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and realized that it was not the earth that let go of her protection, but Pollock and Harding. This is a good thing, because she and Ah Huang are both floating in mid-air, approaching them who are higher up.

The advantage of being at a high altitude is that you can see the whole picture of the trail.

In terms of geology and geography, Bai Tongtong can brazenly call herself an expert, but she has never seen the results of such a magical crustal movement as the Biddle Trail.

The formation of the trail may be due to crustal movement. This has been thought for a long time. In fact, in her eyes now, these two continents should have been a whole a few years ago. Looking at the terrain of the Biddle Heights, in fact, this large piece The area should have been a mountain range in the early days, and then the two sides of the mountain collapsed and sank into the sea, leaving only this small long passage connecting two newly born independent continents. The point is that the trail is not a high bridge spanning across the sky, but still It is a solid mountain, firmly rooted in the sea.

"Have you seen enough? Do you know why the trail was formed?" Pollock was floating right above the trail, the wind was stronger and colder, and the advantage was that the soldiers on the ground couldn't see them.

"It's nothing more than the movement of the earth's crust. The perfect subsidence is indeed a miracle of nature." Fly higher and see more clearly. The two ends of the trail with nine turns and eighteen turns are firmly connected with the two continents .

Pollock just smiled slightly, manipulating the wind to roll Bai Tongtong to his side, so that the cold high-altitude wind all over her body disappeared immediately, and her body slowly returned to warmth.

"By the way, why did you come here so early in the morning?" The well-combed hair was completely messed up by the wind, and Bai Tongtong smoothed the messy short hair with one hand, trying to restore her image to be tidy.

"Come and see the scenery, who knew you could run so fast, can't wait to go and have a look?"

"It's hard to come here, of course I have to bring some souvenirs back to give away."

"May I recommend some local guides for you?"

"Can I buy something good?"

"Absolutely they are all special products. Snow line tea is just one of the rare ones. There are snow-capped mountains and coastal plains in that country. The terrain spans a very wide range, so there are many good things."

"It must be a very large country."

"That's not true. If it was a big country, Biddle would have been annexed long ago. Being able to fight each other for so many years means that they are two countries that are evenly matched."

"A country with a similar area has diverse terrain from snow mountains to plains. This is really a good country." Bai Tongtong became very interested.

"Their own people don't think so."

"You can guess that the bad thing is the size of the country and the topography. They must not have much arable land. The food problem directly affects the foundation of the country."

"Look, how wise it is to have you come here, so well-spoken, you seem to know a lot about this country."

"I just know more about geography."

"Want to learn more? How about going to see their coastline?"

"If you want to see what's going on with your merchant ship, just say so. I wouldn't mind an air tour."

"It's easy to talk to smart people." Pollock raised his hand and flew to the other side of the path with Bai Tongtong, followed by Harding and Ah Huang.

The coastline soon appeared in sight, as expected, because the mountains of the trail lie in the middle, and the oceans on both sides are blocked, and on the shore formed by the mountains, you can see the towns, villages, and small fish in ports and wharves village.

"Oh, among these countries on both sides, whoever digs artificial canals first to open up the oceans on both sides will get the second golden channel to make money from the ground." Bai Tongtong didn't look at the sesame mung bean-sized boats on the sea, but It is to focus on what she is better at.

"That's really good advice, but it's pretty expensive."

"But you have to admit, it's the only way to get out of Biddle Trail."

"The Biddles must be blowing their heads with smoke."

"There is pressure when there is competition. If there are cheap water routes, why should caravans travel by land?"

"The Biddles must be very happy that digging a canal is expensive." Pollock led Bai Tongtong down slowly.

"It's enough to bring down a small country with insufficient treasury." Bai Tongtong focused all his attention on observing the terrain, and didn't notice that they were approaching the sea.

"Before you make more unique suggestions, can you help me save the ship that is in distress?"

"Huh?" Bai Tongtong reluctantly withdrew her gaze, and glanced at the sea area Pollock pointed out to her.

On the surface of Pollock's finger, two clippers were clearly seen chasing a merchant ship flying the Gullies flag.

"Isn't the life-saving tactic of merchant ships to fly the flag of any country in the waters of the country?"

"That can only fool a layman like you, a seasoned sailor. You can tell whether a ship is made by a shipyard in a neighboring country by looking at the appearance of the ship." Pollock flew lower and lower, but it was not enough for people at sea to spot them. Instead, he waited patiently for something.

"You don't mean to throw me into a boat, do you? I'm neither good at wind nor at water."

"To deal with a few pirates, your ability to spit out three basic magic spells in one breath is more than enough. The rest is up to you. Save the merchant ship and they will take you ashore. This is better than entering the Giles Union by land. The kingdom will save a lot of trouble, and will not arouse their tension and disgust, but praise your courage."

"Won't the captain and the sailors tell the truth in the tavern?"

"Don't be funny, you save them from the pirates' pursuit, and they will loudly promote your bravery even if they are drunk." Pollock stopped, watching the pirates finally successfully stopped the merchant ship , thrown onto the grapple gangplank, and the pirates jumped onto the merchant ship brandishing their sharp weapons.

Just when the massacre on the ship was about to begin, Harding flicked his neck and took the lead in throwing Ah Huang, who was already ready to go, onto the front deck of the merchant ship.

Before Ah Huang could stand on all fours, the defensive magic was thrown out, and some precarious sailors were instantly shrouded in a khaki light.

Seeing that the front deck had cleared a small safe place, Pollock sent Bai Tongtong down safely, and with three basic spells in one breath, the pirates had no power to fight back, and all those who could escape fled back to his ship. Cut off the rope of the grapple and break away from the merchant ship as quickly as possible.

One of Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang copied the port side, the other copied the starboard side, chased to the rear deck, captured a few of them alive, directly took away their inner secrets with mind-peeping techniques, and threw them back to the pirate ship, and deliberately threw the small wind blade, rowing Break the sails of pirate ships, let them float on the sea.

The sailors who had escaped from death and the captain came to the back deck in shock, and looked at this girl who fell from the sky but was wearing a yellow robe, and she was accompanied by a feline magic pet who was not easy to mess with at first glance.

"Oh, my God, you are that President Bai!" Sure enough, the captain was reliable at critical moments.

Bai Tongtong turned around in surprise, "You know me?"

"Oh, no, we haven't seen it, but we have heard of your name! Your magic pet is the best sign! How lucky we are to have the help of the president at a critical moment! Please accept our Sincere thanks!"

"Oh, come on, come on, don't be like this, I came to help when I saw the flag of Gullis flying, it was just a matter of time, luckily I was in time. By the way, where is your destination? Is that Giles? ?”

"Yes, sir, our destination is Giles."

"Well, that's great, don't you mind if I take a ride with the wind?"

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind. It's our honor. Please go to the captain's cabin to take a rest. We will be in port soon."
