Alien landlady

Chapter 191 A Guest Arrives
Bai Tongtong wrote to Farrell, asking him to find more books on magic circles related to earth elements and alchemy, which she needed urgently.After receiving a letter from Farrell asking her to wait a day, she packed up her things and went to inspect the ditch again, walking down the side of the ditch to see how long the deep ditch was.

On the way, I met those three men. Because they were wearing old leather armor and their leather was not good, they didn't dare to get too close to the hot ditch. A big hand like that, stretched into the ditch, and rolled out small piles of black gravel. At a glance, I knew it was not what I was looking for, so I left it where I left it, and continued to walk down a few steps, repeating it again. once.

Bai Tongtong immediately changed his mind, followed the three of them, and observed their movements, especially the magic tool, using the fire dragon to scoop up stones inside the volcano. The next big rock.

She always followed others to see how they did things. After a long time, the three of them were very uncomfortable and had to stop.

"Miss Sally, what are you always doing with us? Don't you have your own things to do?"

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I won't steal your things, I'm just curious, just take a look and see how you scoop up stones." Bai Tongtong said with a cheeky laugh.

"You saw it too, just use this, you can bring anything you catch, and you can tell if there is a rainbow molten stone at a glance."

"Rainbow lava?" Bai Tongtong suddenly became interested, "Isn't it black lava?"

"How can black lava be so easy to find? I heard that it is the essence of magma. You can only fish it in the magma, or wait for the volcano to erupt and bring some out."

"Then the rainbow molten stone is...?" Bai Tongtong only checked the information of the black molten stone in the library that day, and didn't have time to read more related extensions. This was the first time he knew the name of the rainbow molten stone.

"It's just molten stones of other colors. The temperature is also high and low. It's easier to find some, and the price is not that high."

"Is this what you do?"

"Ah, the three of us rely on this for food."

"Can you make money?"

"So-so, anyway, I can live."

"Well, then what are those lava stones used for? It's impossible to sell them all to magicians, right?"

"The most commonly used method is to make a hot spring, build a big pool, throw a few pieces of molten rock into it, and wait for a while, the water in the pool will gurgle like it's boiling."

"Huh?! This is easier than lighting a fire to heat hot water."

"Yes, rich people buy this to use in the bathroom. One pool is dedicated to storing hot water, and then it is connected to another pool through pipes for bathing. A few small stones can last for a long time."

"It's a wonderful thing! Do you want to start a business? If you find suitable lava, sell them to me, and I'll take as much as you have."

"Hey? Are you serious? Miss Sally? You want both?" The three men immediately opened their eyes excitedly.

"That's right! Before I complete my task, I want as much as you have. I think you usually sell to middlemen, and the price will not be so high. I will pay a little more to buy your stones."

"Okay, okay! That's it!" The other party was afraid that Bai Tongtong would regret it, so he hurriedly agreed, and started to work with all his energy.

Bai Tongtong stopped harassing them and went back to the camp along the way she came. She should hurry up and think about what to do with her mission. To find a piece of black lava from the magma, why is such a serious problem used in Graduates try the above ah.

In the afternoon of the next day, Bai Tongtong received the new reference book that Farrell had found for her. At this time, she no longer cared whether the difficulty in the book was suitable for her, and threw it to her for herself to read as long as it was relevant. manage.

Bai Tongtong searched for inspiration in the book, designed a new magic circle, and experimented over and over again, turning her ideas into pieces of magic patterns in the circle little by little.

The three neighbors didn't gain anything for more than a day. Normally, this is a normal situation. But this time, in order to find more rainbow molten stones and sell them for more money, they decided to act separately next time. Find your own stone.

In the middle of the night, Bai Tongtong was sleeping soundly in the tent wrapped in a blanket. Harding fell from the sky and landed softly on the ground with the breeze. hooves.

Harding suddenly jumped on the spot. He noticed that Bai Tongtong had thrown the ground auditory technique from the tent. After falling back to the ground, he stood there quietly. After a while, he heard an order from the tent.

"Come in."

Harding showed a dog's expression. Under the faint light of the bonfire, he gently opened the curtain of the tent with his head, and wagged his tail and got in.

Bai Tongtong, who was awakened, raised her upper body and lit a small candle stub beside her, staring at Harding with a flattering face. In the end, she patted the ground next to the blanket, lay down again and extinguished the candle.

Harding went over and lay down, resting his chin on the back of Bai Tongtong's hand. Bai Tongtong pulled out his hand to touch Harding's smooth fur, and patted it. One man and one wolf fell asleep so peacefully and quickly.

In the early morning, when Bai Tongtong woke up, Harding had disappeared, which made her think that it was a dream at night.However, when she came back from washing by the stream and was tidying up the housework in front of the tent, she found a few blue hairs on the blanket, and realized that Harding had really been here, and it wasn't because she was sleepy.

A sudden gust of wind blew overhead, bringing her a familiar feeling. Bai Tongtong threw the blanket into the tent, turned around and saw a strange man who had never seen him standing behind her with a smile on his face. Harding's figure was on his lap. With a slight flash, he rushed into the tent and hid, not intending to let the camp a few meters away find out that there are monsters here.

"Who are you?" Bai Tongtong asked cautiously, not caring that he was sent by Harding, and still mobilized the magic elements to be on guard.

"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't you know me?" Although the height, appearance and clothing are completely different, but the voice and tone can still tell who it is.

"Pollock? How did you do this?" Bai Tongtong immediately withdrew the mobilized elements.

"Of course it's thanks to the camouflage potion, which temporarily changes one's appearance for a limited period of time." Pollock's tone combined with his current image felt completely inappropriate.

"Can you change it back? It's weird to look at you like this."

"You have neighbors there. It's not good for outsiders to see my real appearance."

"Then you go back, I'm busy, I don't have time to receive you."

"Ah, the complexion changed so quickly, I thought you would be very happy to see my humble servant."

"I'm glad to see Harding, but forget about you."

"It's ruthless, I have crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to come here after a lot of hard work."

"You obviously came from the teleportation array, otherwise you wouldn't drink the potion. Also, Harding slept with me all night. I believe it flew here by itself. It has no time to fly back and forth between the two places. Go, it's impossible for you to fly so far by yourself. It's useless to play tricks in front of me." Bai Tongtong said with his hands on his hips in a very imposing manner.

Pollock was amused, chuckled, took out a small bottle of potion and drank it with his head up while laughing, and then a layer of water mist covered his body, which lasted only a few seconds, and the water mist turned into water vapor Dissipated into the air, and Pollock was back to his true self, the smuggler again when he took off the inappropriate coat.

Bai Tongtong jumped in front of Pollock and stretched out his hand, "Give me a few bottles of your potion."

"No, I only brought the amount for round-trip use."

"Why don't you and Harding fly back and give me what you have on you."

"What are you doing? Afraid that people will hunt you down? When I came out of the teleportation formation, I heard some interesting rumors in the restaurant on the second floor." Pollock raised his eyebrows, and began to talk to Bai Tongtong consciously.

"The restaurant on the second floor? You actually went there. I haven't eaten there yet." Remembering that she stood outside the restaurant last time but didn't eat because it was full, Bai Tongtong couldn't help but pouted a little unhappily.

"In such a famous restaurant, if you can't make a reservation a few days in advance, you either have to wait in line outside the door, or buy a takeaway." Pollock said, taking out two tied flat A cardboard box with the name of the restaurant printed on the lid.

"The restaurant is full so early in the morning?!" Bai Tongtong took the box, put it on the small table next to him, and slowly untied the rope.

"As long as it is during business hours, there will be no shortage of customers."

Bai Tongtong opened two boxes, which contained types of breakfast that suited her taste, staple cereals and meat prepared in different ways, and a little fruit. in the box.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Well, I bought it for you. I know you haven't eaten at this time." Pollock rolled up his shirt sleeves a little, sat down on the stone by the campfire, added firewood piece by piece, and rekindled the fire.

"Yo~~, how considerate~" Bai Tongtong threw a piece of fruit into his mouth, it was sweet and sour and juicy, like a peach.

"I brought you breakfast. Is it right for you to have a cup of tea?"

"Should, should, absolutely should, I have tea bought in Faro, imported from other places." Bai Tongtong got into the tent, took out the whole tea set and put it on the small table.

After the fire was lit, Pollock stood up and looked at the position of the stream. He used the wind to wind up the kettle for boiling water, and flew the kettle into the stream to fill up a pot of water before flying back.

Bai Tongtong was chewing a piece of bread, deeply admiring Pollock's lazy skill.

"Who is that camp over there?" Pollock hung the kettle on the campfire, and went to the table to prepare teapots and cups, as if to say it casually.

"People who specialize in finding rainbow molten stones for a living."

"Rainbow Molten Stone? Well, it must be a local. People outside usually call it simply Colored Stone, with the place name added in front of it. For example, the one obtained from the Begen Volcano is called Bergen Colored Stone."

"You have known this name for a long time? Stones with different temperatures have different colors on the surface, so they are called this name uniformly. Is that what it means?"

"What did you talk to them about? You know the name Rainbow Molten Stone, but you don't know the origin? The color of the stone mainly comes from the texture, and the temperature affects the depth of the color. The colored stones produced by different volcanoes have different colors, but using It all looks the same."

"Ah, I thought so too, but I didn't ask carefully at the time, and they were scared when they saw me."

"Ha, that must have something to do with the rumors I heard, right?"

"I thought Harding should have collected a lot of information and reported it to you."

"But you are the person involved, why do I want to listen to those rumors without details? Besides, who knows how many irrelevant contents were randomly added by outsiders in the process of dissemination."

"I don't know at all. Before the news reached the city, I was already on the mountain, or the three of them came to tell me a little bit." Bai Tongtong raised her chin towards her neighbor's camp.

"There is no movement in that camp, where are people? Are you busy looking for stones so early?"

"Because I said that no matter how many stones they have, I will buy them all, and I will give a higher price."

"Oh~, if they return to the city, they may tell their relatives and friends the news."

"I told them that this business is valid until I return. As long as I bring stones, I will buy as much as I can. That thing can turn cold water into hot water. I take it back and use it in the guild's bathroom. After a year It can save a lot of firewood."

"The hot water produced by heating the stone has a hot spring smell. Don't put too many stones in at once. If you put too much, you will wait to see your bathroom become the hot spring with the most pungent smell."

"You know so well? Your bathroom has been used like this for a long time, right? All the local rich people use it like this."

"The real reason you bought so many colored stones is to make the bathroom more accessible?" Pollock returned to the campfire, guarding the bubbling kettle.

"You are so smart, guess what my real intention is?"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you to guess." Pollock glanced at Bai Tongtong, who had just finished eating a plate, and she was setting aside a bitten-off sausage, which didn't seem to suit her taste. .

"I'm listening, tell me, what do I want to do?"

"Tongfu will issue an internal killing order for you. If you want to fight back against them, but you won't do it yourself, then the best way is to let them fight each other. Buying all kinds of molten stone is your method. Those looking for stones In order to make more money, they will unite and help you indirectly." Pollock took down the kettle that had boiled water, returned to the table and poured boiling water into the teapot.

"Is what I say right?"

"How do you know about the Tongfu Club and the internal killing order?"

"I also know that the Blessing Club is the most powerful association of bounty hunters in this country." Pollock put down the kettle and closed the lid of the teapot. "The mercenaries waiting for dinner outside the restaurant are talking about it."
