Alien landlady

Chapter 227 Taking the Mine
The two calmed down temporarily and drank their own tea. Farrell liked this freshly baked hot snack very much. It contained sweet and sour sandwiches. He took a piece in each hand and stood on the edge of the terrace overlooking the forest and ate slowly, waiting for him to turn around. When she turned around, she saw Bai Tongtong dozing off with her head tilted. Her empty glass was hanging on the fingers of her right hand in a dangerous way, and it might fall to the ground and shatter at any time.

Farrell looked at the sun above his head, the sun was indeed so comfortable that it made people want to sleep, he tiptoed towards Bai Tongtong, reached out and took her cup.

As soon as the cup was taken down, Bai Tongtong woke up. She opened her eyes reflexively, stretched out her right hand, and grabbed Farrell's wrist.

"Are you never letting go of your vigilance in your own territory?" Farrell was a little surprised by Bai Tongtong's reaction. He shook the teacup in his hand, put it gently on the tea table, and patted Bai Tongtong still holding it his right hand.

Bai Tongtong stared at Farrell, as if he just recognized him, let go of his hands and lay down on the recliner.

Farrell stood up, opened the lid of the teapot to look at the tea inside, "Would you like another cup of tea?"

"No, you can drink it yourself." Bai Tongtong moved her legs and stretched out the blanket on her body.

"You looked like you were having a nightmare just now?" Farrell poured himself tea, and needed some water after a snack.

"No, it was you who approached suddenly. Fortunately, you were not standing at my feet."

"This is your place, don't you have time to relax?"

"Yes, when I really fell asleep."

"Only then?"

"if not?"

"I'll be more careful in the future."

"Tch~" Bai Tongtong woke up completely, reached out to take a piece of snack and took a bite, then said vaguely: "By the way, I was really dreaming just now."

"Dream what?" Farrell said, completely offhand.

"Since it is impossible to organize a fleet of ocean voyages, it may be possible to organize a polar expedition to cross the North Pole to the other side of the world. You can't go east-west, but you can go north-south. The world is a ball."

Farrell was speechless suddenly, "Did you really dream about it just now?"

"Yes."

"Did you know that all you conceive are ideas that go to war?"

"I know, but it's worth it, and we have an innate geographical advantage. Tamir's land border borders on the polar regions, and we can use their land route to go there."

"What about the danger? I guess it's not as safe as ocean voyages?"

"That's for sure, it's also a journey of narrow escapes, but it will be famous in history, and, believe me, in the future, the polar region will become the focus of competition among countries. In case explorers discover a polar water route, That would be a golden waterway. Did Harding still take the risk of flying back from the sea on his return journey? Didn’t he go to the poles?"

"Hmph, you have to ask it." Farrell took out a whistle from the ring and blew it. Bai Tongtong didn't hear anything, but after a while, a gust of wind blew, and Harding appeared in the wind and fell lightly.

Harding still appeared in the appearance of a second-class instant wolf. The big dog with a loyal face walked up to Bai Tongtong, rubbed his nose against her hand to say hello, and was hugged by Bai Tongtong in his arms and licked hard. hair.

【What did you call me over here for? 】Harding licked Bai Tongtong's face, turned his head and rolled his eyes to look at his master.

[Ask me about your adventures to the New World.When I went there, I flew from the sea. What about the return journey? 】

[Of course, he also flew back from the sea, was struck by lightning once, and almost fell into the sea and drowned. 】

Farrell rolled his eyes and coughed dryly.

Bai Tongtong hugged Harding's neck, gently scratched the base of its ears with his left hand, and saw all the flirting with Farrell.

"What did Harding say?"

"It all flew back from the sea, and didn't go to the polar regions."

"Well, then we can consider going to the New World from the polar regions to have a look."

[From the Pole to the New World?The continuous snowstorm day and night can make you lose your way in an instant, fall into the cracks on the ice sheet, and you can't even find your body. Those cracks are unimaginably deep. 】

"Harding said it was dangerous."

"Of course it's dangerous, that's why polar explorers can be famous in history, but, does Harding think he can't fly there?"

"Hey! You really know how to use your brain!" Farrell stared.

"Aren't you curious about the New World?" Bai Tongtong stared blankly.

"Compared to the work that I have to deal with every day when I open my eyes, I don't care about the New World."

Bai Tongtong held Harding's head with both hands, "Hating, do you want to revisit the old place after such a long time?"

Harding tilted his head and thought for a while, whimpered a few times, shook his head and broke away from Bai Tongtong's grasp, returned to sit at Farrell's feet.

[Traveling to the polar regions is just as dangerous, I don’t want to do anything that would cost me my life! 】

"Look, Harding isn't interested either." Farrell patted Harding on the back.

"If you can't prove that the world is a ball, you can't appeal for the Viscount."

"There will always be other opportunities. Be patient and wait. In time, other scholars will definitely surface."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to save him in time."

"Maybe you can find a way to release a little hint, let the hidden scholars come to you, and you provide them with shelter and a research environment."

"Hmm~ This is a feasible solution." Bai Tongtong suddenly understood, and looked up at the sky, "I seem to have a solution."

"If you succeed, remember to thank me, I inspired you." Farrell and Harding looked up at the sky together, except for the dazzling sunlight and white clouds, there was not even a bird in the sky.

"Of course. If it succeeds, I will thank your eight generations of ancestors." Bai Tongtong smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. A perfect idea appeared in her mind. If water and land are not feasible, then there is only the last road left. up.

"What great idea did you come up with?"

Seeing Bai Tongtong's confident expression, Farrell scratched his heart with curiosity, but she didn't say anything more, just smiled mysteriously, and told Farrell to wait and see.

Just when Farrell was struggling, the earth elements fluctuated from the grass outside the terrace. Ah Huang and the scorpion appeared from the ground escape technique, and the black eagle came to the terrace with its wings flapping, rushing towards the sky. Quacking a few times, then Ah Huang jumped up using the elements as a ladder, smelled the smell of Bai Tongtong on Harding, and snored at him very uncomfortably, and then flew out of his collar a bunch of people from the tropics. Fresh fruits piled up the entire tea table.

"Wow!" Bai Tongtong was overjoyed. She lifted the blanket, put on her shoes and sat up. A big water polo appeared immediately. She threw all the fruits into it, and then controlled the water polo to spin like a drum washing machine, washing the fruits thoroughly, and then She used the walkie-talkie to have someone come up and take some down, and share the rest with Farrell.

Farrell looked at the pile of brightly colored fruits that he had never seen before, and he didn't dare to start, "Is it really edible?"

"The poison won't kill you, but at most it will make you have diarrhea." Bai Tongtong cut a yellow fruit that looked like a papaya in half lengthwise, scooped out the walnut-sized seed in the middle, inserted a teaspoon, and handed it to Farrell for him Take out the pulp in the middle and eat it.

"Speaking these words from the mouth of an earth mage like you really makes people break out in a cold sweat. Even if you eat the most poisonous poisonous mushrooms, the worst end will be nothing but diarrhea, but you will die for others."

"Earth mages can't die from plant toxins with the protection of the goddess, but they will die from dehydration caused by diarrhea. I just became a contract partner of Wuying Cat. I won't kill my life so soon. Don't worry about it. .” Bai Tongtong took a small teaspoon and drew a circle on his share of fruit, then dug out a semicircular piece of flesh, which tasted sweet.

Farrell thought for a while and felt that this made sense. Earth mages instinctively identify poisonous plants, so he happily began to enjoy his fruits.

As for Ah Huang and Harding, they had already rolled into a ball on the side. They scratched their paws, patted them, bit their ears, pulled their tails, and the crow flapped its wings to cheer.

"To be honest, I'm quite curious about how those bad guys who regard me as an enemy plan to eliminate me as a hidden threat. It is too difficult to poison me, and the price of making me a public enemy is too high. As long as the killer steps into my My territory will be discovered, what else can they do to destroy me?"

"Hmph! Don't hold back your mouth. When you really prove that our world is a ball, break the old knowledge structure that has been passed down for thousands of years, and cause social unrest, are you afraid that no one will trouble you?"

"This is the scope of your work." Bai Tongtong smiled slyly.

"Oops, I seem to have fallen into your trap."

"Is there?" Bai Tongtong immediately put on an innocent face, "If I really prove it, His Majesty will have an excuse to demand a new round of religious reform. This is clearly an opportunity, but where is the trap."

"You still have a closed church village here. It's hard to deal with madmen who go crazy."

"Oh, they're all land creatures, don't scare me, I'm a coward." Bai Tongtong bit the spoon, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Farrell ate the fruit expressionlessly, quickly calculating the resources he had in his mind, and considering the new reasonable allocation. Bai Tongtong's reminder was right, a bright future is both an opportunity and a danger, and he had to make early preparations.

In the next few days of the New Year's holiday, there were still no other guests from the guild, and Bai Tongtong didn't go out to be guests. She just patronized and enjoyed her lazy holiday all day long. Done, take a complete rest.

Farrell was also lazily enjoying his vacation, except that he was accidentally harassed by relatives in his hometown, he spent the past few days in the guild quite comfortably.

The reason he gave Bai Tongtong on the first day he came to the guild was to avoid a blind date, and he had the foresight to say hello in advance, because his parents in his hometown were so clever that they thought of this and sent relatives to arrest him. Fortunately, he was not in the guild at the time but went to Wismar to meet Bahn. The servants kept the secret strictly and did not leak anything, and politely persuaded him to go back. After being laughed at by Bai Tongtong for two days, this matter was resolved passed.

The New Year’s holiday in the elder’s home is always a little longer than other industries. When Burrow and the others came back from their vacation and started working on the first day after the New Year, Farrell was still on vacation, and the deck chair on the terrace became his exclusive work. Supplies, because Bai Tongtong has no time to enjoy it anymore.

Another week later, Farrell's vacation finally came to an end. Before he left, Bai Tongtong chatted with him again. The two agreed that the focus of the next work would be on the mineral resources in Toto Town. She gave My own bottom line is 50 years of exclusive mining rights for minerals. If you can’t buy land, you must at least get the mining rights, even if it is time-limited. The rent of the mine is based on the amount of products she sold that year. In this way, outsiders cannot count the amount of her mining, and can only see how much she uses in the spare parts of the final product.

Farrell, who returned to the royal capital to start work, used his private time to meet with the envoy of Lessos in his country, and asked him about the results of their domestic discussions on Toto Town, and got good news that Lessos was very happy. I am glad to have the opportunity to cooperate with President Bai, but Toto Town cannot be sold to her, but will be leased to her permanently until the mineral resources are exhausted, and the rent will be used to buy equivalent food to fill the shortage of food in the country. gap.

At present, this is only discussed in the country of Lysos, because the rent cannot be priced, and the people who manage the country are all smart people. If an earth mage buys a mine, he will definitely not mine the ore in a conventional way, so how to calculate the rent is different. disagreement.

Only then did Farrell slowly explain Bai Tongtong's minimum conditions to the other party. Of course, he pretended to be his own idea and asked the envoy to write a letter back to China to ask their majesty and ministers whether they could accept this method.

After the messenger left, Farrell hurriedly wrote to Bai Tongtong, asking her if she would like to exchange rent for food.

For the sake of permanent mining rights, Bai Tongtong said without hesitation that there was no problem.

A few days later, good news came from the country of Lessos again, and they also sent a contract sample, agreeing to permanently lease the mining rights of Toto Town to Bai Tongtong, but they had to go to the country of Lessos to sign the contract. His Majesty the King, The crown prince and the ministers all wanted to take the opportunity to meet the clever and capable Master Bai Baron Bai Guildmaster Bai.

The terms of the contract were reviewed and checked by Farrell first. The country of Lythos is not deceitful at all. Every word is carefully considered to ensure that it is fair and just to the other party. From this, they can also see their thirst for food.

Everything is fine, the date of formal signing is set, and Bai Tongtong rushes to the country of Lysos on the appointed day, signing the contract in the morning, luncheon at noon, and dance in the evening, after a whole day of excitement, he returned to his home exhausted in the middle of the night. Guild, if you pounce on the bed, you will be dead.

　Oops, timed out~~~
