Alien landlady

Chapter 172 The Farrell Family
The barbeque meeting had a good weather. The hot and rainy summer town of Fabao had a rare few days of sunshine. Square tables were set up on the hard ground by the pond. The servants were responsible for the barbecue cooking, and the mages just took whatever they wanted. You can eat by yourself, and there are also all kinds of exquisite snacks and fruits.

The taste of fresh pale ale is very delicate. Bai Tongtong also prepared an ice bucket with a lot of ice cubes and salt. He divided the wine in the bucket into wide-mouth hip flasks, and then put it in the ice bucket to chill it. A hip flask is just right. The volume of four cups, so the guests directly take pot by pot to the dining table to share with friends.

Of course, Bai Tongtong sat at the same table with Principal Hart and Master Jules. First, they tortured her about homework, and then they studied her new ring and Ah Huang's collar. Bai Tongtong brought back the magic magnetic powder I gave them a little bit to go back to do experiments, and introduced the general topography of Devil City.

Jules, with his experienced eyes, could tell right away that neither the ring nor the collar was made by Bai Tongtong's current level. He didn't need to ask him to be sure that only the collar seat was made by her alone, but the gems on it and her new The ring must have been made for her by another pretty old hand.

The treacherous and cunning mage Jules didn't say anything on the spot, but waited for Bai Tongtong to leave the table to socialize with others, and then he whispered to Principal Hart.

"Hart, did you see it? Tongtong should be with an old acquaintance of ours on this business trip."

"Huh? I only know that the one who went there first was a veteran alchemist. Tongtong went there after the teleportation array was repaired. Who do you think His Majesty sent?" Principal Hart was enjoying the fresh and delicious fresh ale, looking at the edge of the water The wonderful scenery of the sunset, some lazily responding to friends.

"Although the arrangement of the magic pattern on the magic circle on the ring and collar deliberately conceals the original style, I have taught that kid for so many years, and he can't fool my eyes even if he changes around." Master Jules said in his tone full of contentment.

"Huh?" Principal Hart sat up straighter, "our students? When you taught last time?"

"Hey, Hart, it's just a few glasses of ale. You won't be so drunk that you can't remember who it is, right? The most reliable alchemist around His Majesty is only that kid."

"Oh, Farrell!" Principal Hart put down his wine glass with a smile, and glanced in Bai Tongtong's direction, "It seems that the two of them have a good relationship now, and the idea of ​​letting him instruct Tongtong in alchemy is really a coup, thanks to you If you can figure it out, use the reason of a graduate."

"Wrong." Master Jules rolled his eyes, and lowered his voice so that only Principal Hart could hear, "Hart, I wonder if you are old-fashioned, the ring and collar must be Farrell's. The kid did it, his habits can't fool me, but, since we came here, have you ever mentioned the name Farrell? Even once?"

"Uh..." Principal Hart's thinking ability soaked in the delicious ale finally floated to the surface of the alcohol, "This shows that something happened between the two of us that we don't know about."

"If she doesn't talk about it, it means it's definitely not a good thing, so we should go to that kid Farrell first to find out."

"That's right, something must have happened, we'll leave immediately after eating."

"good idea."

The two old mages happily enjoyed the barbecue feast. Instead of taking a walk around with other old friends, they said goodbye to Bai Tongtong under the pretext of being busy with other matters. Principal Hart went directly to the capital, and Master Jules returned to Menis City , and then went to the capital, the two met on the street outside the Royal Capital Guild with an interval of one or two minutes, and drove directly to Farrell's house in the Voss community in a carriage.

Farrell had just come back at this time, and was sitting in the dining room having dinner when he saw the butler rushing in with his two teachers.

Harding slipped back upstairs in a breeze and eavesdropped on the conversation below.

"Principal Hart, Master Jules, long time no see, please take a seat, why do you have time to come and see me?" Farrell hurriedly got up and hugged the teachers, and exchanged greetings cautiously. It seemed that the two came here with the intention of not being kind. .

The butler brought a large tea tray and closed the restaurant door when he left.

"Oh, Jules, look, the color of this tea soup is really interesting, it looks like Giles' special snow tea, which is not available at Tongtong's. Otherwise, it must be very good to have a cup for each person at the barbecue party just now." Principal Hart stirred the tea with a tea spoon, and said in a casual tone.

"Yes, the taste is similar, I think it must be." Master Jules echoed.

"Uh, two teachers, these are indeed snow threads. I still have some on hand. I'll give you a few boxes later." Farrell pretended to be stupid innocently.

"Well, okay, we're not welcome." Principal Hart smiled fakely.

Farrell also understood why this happened. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, pushed away the plate, and poured himself a cup of tea. Dinner was out of the question.

"Principal, Master Jules, before you ask me questions, shouldn't it be better for me to confess first?"

"What do you think you're hiding?"

"It depends on what you want to know. You also know that there are many things I can't say."

"Okay, then let's ask the most direct question." Principal Hart and Master Jules exchanged views, and Principal Hart asked first.

"Principal, tell me."

"You and Tongtong, what's the situation between you two?"

"The two of us are fine."

"You make it up again. Tongtong held a barbecue party today and invited many magicians to participate. The two of us saw her new ring and collar. Jules has taught you for so many years, and he can tell at a glance that it is your habit. These two This thing is a difficult problem for her, but it is easy for you. She can accept it, which means that the relationship between you two should be relatively close, and at least you should trust you. However, she didn't mention your name once today, and you just denied you two The relationship between you, tell me honestly, in what capacity are you standing beside her on this business trip?"

"You can't say your identity, principal, even if you report it to His Majesty, he will deny it."

Principal Hart and Master Jules took a long breath together, feeling a bad premonition that something bad was going on in their hearts, "You dated her in a double capacity?!"

"Uh..." Pollock rolled his eyes and said nothing.

"Is she not suspicious at all?"

"She knew that my false identity was for His Majesty, because her cat found me in the palace at the only palace dinner she attended, so she simply took advantage of this on this business trip. But, I promise, she There was absolutely no doubt about my true identity."

"Are you still very proud? How long are you going to lie to her?"

"Anyway, it's not suitable to confess recently."

"She will find out sooner or later. The longer the delay, the more serious the consequences. Don't ask for trouble. Since we will directly deny your false identity before we go to His Majesty, does that also mean that if one day she knows the truth? Your Majesty will definitely not mediate for you if she asks you to settle accounts? You must be very clear about her new impression in the upper class, right?"

"I don't care about the consequences, I don't look at people's faces, I don't play tricks and schemes, I only follow the one-track minds of Yangmou. Of course, I facilitated it."

"Are you sick?!" Principal Hart and Master Jules yelled in unison.

"Political needs, teachers. We want to strengthen our influence in the western countries of the mainland. Miss Bai is the perfect candidate. Now that the desired goal has been achieved there, everyone is afraid of her elusive whereabouts and unpredictable style of doing things. This morning , the envoys of Giles and Biddle came back with the special envoy we sent out, and are going to present their credentials to His Majesty."

Principal Hart and Master Jules really didn't know whether to be happy or angry, and they opened their mouths dumbfounded.

"Does she know that she is in this image now?"

"I don't know about this. I have never left the capital. If someone told her, she should know. If no one mentioned it, then she must not know. Miss Yijin's thinking is sometimes very simple and direct. "

"Supposing she knew, wouldn't it occur to her that you did it?"

"She would think that it might have something to do with my false identity, but she couldn't think of whether it had something to do with my real identity."

"I'm confused by both of your identities."

"The ins and outs of the whole matter are quite complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words. Anyway, the current situation is like this. I have been dealing with her at the same time as a true and false identity. For the time being, we will live in peace."

"You never thought about what if she finds out the truth?"

"With my position, even if she knows the truth, she can only throw plates and bowls all over the floor in her territory. Your Majesty has ordered her to show up obediently and obey orders. It's nothing to be afraid of making trouble for a few days at most. "

"Just keep your mouth shut!" the two old men yelled at Farrell again.

Farrell just shrugged, looking nonchalantly cheeky.

"By the way, you seem to know her to a great extent. Have you been in contact with her for a long time using your false identity?" Master Jules found another doubt.

"It's been a while."

"How long is it?" Principal Hart asked.

"It's been a while anyway." Farrell remained stubborn.

"If you don't say anything, then that single-minded lady will go crazy, but no one will save you."

"I believe that with her upbringing, she shouldn't act too crazy."

"You know? She's not one of those harmless ladies."

"First of all, it is impossible for her to rush to the palace or the elders' house to settle accounts with me, nor will she tear down my house to vent her hatred. As long as she does not do these destructive actions, the rest will be easy to handle."

"Humph~, it's hard to say, maybe we both accidentally drank too much one day and slipped the tongue." Master Jules waved between him and Principal Hart, "Her barbecue will be made into a regular Sunday program , the fresh ale tastes good, and I'm thinking about going there once a week for a holiday."

"Didn't she confiscate an illegally built camp? I also want to suggest that she transform it into a holiday estate. There is absolutely no shortage of guests throughout the year, and it can also attract wealthy people who come to escape the cold in winter." Principal Hart echoed.

"That's right, she can just use the barbecue party to attract those rich people. When her reputation spreads, at least the family members of the magician community in the capital will be happy to come and spend a long vacation."

"And we will also come here, and we can continue to urge Tongtong to study. It really kills two birds with one stone."

The two old men sang together and seemed to be giving Bai Tongtong some advice on how to make money, and Farrell refilled himself with tea calmly.

"Teachers, what do you want to know?" Putting down the teacup, Farrell raised his hands in compromise.

"When did you meet her?"

"Is it my false identity? I probably met her when Tamir fought last year." Farrell's mind came back to the night in Ke's Cove City the summer before last.

"In other words, it's been a full year?!" Principal Hart was very upset, feeling that Bai Tongtong was being bullied, "When did you know about her existence? Was it when the news about the Shadowless Cat came out, or was it when I asked for help? When she offers special protection?"

"Of course it was the news of Wuying Cat that made me notice her, but she was too ordinary at that time, and the cat was too small, so there was no need to be vigilant, but her growth rate surprised me, and she didn't rely on cats I think she wants to take the magician promotion exam with her own strength. If she makes a contract with the cat first, she will lose her qualifications."

"Well, since you've been watching for so long, do you think she can take the test now? It just so happens that summer vacation is coming."

"You can arrange a graduation trial for her, and you will know if she is ready. If there is time, her title of acting president can be replaced by the official president, and in the meeting in September, she will be the official magician If she attends with the dual identity of the noble lord, then she doesn't have to sit pitifully in the back seat, at least she can sit in the middle."

"That's close to the center conference table."

"If she can attend the cabinet meeting, she can see that I am there. The plenary meeting is recorded by other clerks on the spot."

"Hmph, you are sure that even if she is in the elders' house, she will not find you. But don't forget, her cat will recognize your smell." Master Jules rolled his eyes at his cunning student.

"Wow, Mr. Jules, I guide her study almost every day, and her cat is not suspicious at all."

"No wonder you agreed so readily." Master Jules also had a feeling of being tricked by the students.

"It's the senior's responsibility to help the juniors study hard." Farrell smiled calmly.

"Forget it, there is no need to chat with him anymore. Since everything is under his control, we don't have to worry too much." Principal Hart patted Master Jules on the shoulder and decided to go home and sleep. When I grow up, I no longer listen to the teacher's words.

"Okay, it's time to go. When Tongtong wants him to look good one day, he will know how big a mistake he has made."

"Oh, principal, Mr. Jules, why do you both agree that I must suffer?"

"Miss Tendon, remember? You made it look like those simple-minded fighters. Oh! Did you really mean she was simple-minded?!"

"No! I absolutely didn't mean that! Teacher Jules! I am praising her unparalleled absolute strength! In the face of strength, any strategy is useless. I think she disdains to use her brain, not because she doesn't know how to use her brain. Being able to learn magic has proved that she is smart enough, but in her eyes, work comes first, and other things are a waste of time in her eyes." Farrell clarified sincerely.

"Hehe, you really understand her." Principal Hart and Master Jules pushed the table and stood up. "We won't say it out loud to affect your work, but we must watch this scene."

"It must be very exciting." Master Jules rolled his eyes like an old urchin, laughing happily with the principal.

Farrell scratched his hair, ordered the housekeeper to prepare the carriage, took gifts, and sent the respected teachers to the guild with a helpless expression.
