Alien landlady

Chapter 228
Regarding the mining industry in Toto Town, until Bai Tongtong signed the contract, no gossip or official statement spread out. Everything went on quietly, and only a few ministers knew about it. Some of the nobles actually sent invitations under other names from His Majesty, who had no idea that they were celebrating the discovery of the first rare minerals and mining rights in the country.

Bai Tongtong likes this kind of secrecy, so as to save the trouble of attracting pirates after the news gets out.

However, just in case, Bai Tongtong made a special trip to the Magic Academy to ask the principal about safety precautions.

There is really a way, the sealing technique of the earth system, but it needs the help of alchemy, collect a lot of magic materials, make a sealing magic circle, and prevent others except Bai Tongtong from mining ore, but it will not affect the normal use of the land by the people in the town .

The geographical location of Toto Town is in a mountain nest surrounded by mountains. Because it is not a great plain, only one sealing formation cannot meet the requirements of sealing all minerals, but how many magic formations are needed for as many mountains as there are. As far as the direction of the vein is concerned, one end may be closer to the surface and the other end may be deeper.

The principal wrote a list of materials for Bai Tongtong. She can easily collect materials through the purchase channel of the guild store, but the other thing she has to do is to formally explore the minerals and touch every inch of the underground world in Toto Town. clear.

Ah Huang volunteered to take on this matter, and with its speed, it only took a few days to get the result, and Bai Tongtong was able to spare time to learn about the sealing technique from Master Jules at school.

Ah Huang took half a month to complete the task of finding out the truth, and Bai Tongtong had already collected all the materials ordered a few days ago. Now she is busy drawing the sealing magic circle. Add and subtract some content to achieve her own desired purpose.

[You are back, the construction site is still waiting for you to lay the foundation. 】Bai Tongtong raised her head from her drawing book, and reached out to grab Ah Huang's neck.

[We have a little trouble. 】Ah Huang stretched out his rough tongue full of barbs to lick his nose.

【What trouble? 】

[Someone is stealing mines. 】

【When did this happen? ! 】

【It's been a while, anyway, it must have been before the owner of that stupid dog got the news and came to you. 】

[So someone knows that there are special minerals in Toto Town? 】

[It wasn't done by the natives of Lessos. There is no smelting factory found in the country, but there is indeed a vertical mine on the vein, and the entrance and exit are just hidden in a natural cave. 】

[This doesn't sound like a method of stealing that ordinary people with normal brains would use, it's too dangerous. 】

[Yes, but for those who master the technology of magic piracy, one channel is enough. 】

[Have you evaluated how much was stolen? 】

[A layer has been cut off, but it will take a long time to dig through it vertically. The ore layer is quite thick. You have made a fortune and found a rich ore. There are also some strange associated ore. I brought back the samples. . ] As he spoke, a pile of stones flew out from Ah Huang's collar and piled on the floor.

【very good. 】Bai Tongtong squinted his eyes with a smile, looking at the ore with a very gentle look in his eyes, 【We have a colleague, we must discuss each other if we have the opportunity. 】

[The thief and the stolen goods may also be two groups of people.The smelting of this ore requires extremely professional knowledge and technology. Even you have to rely on magical means to control all the toxic waste. The scale of the workshop cannot meet the safety conditions, and the factory can, but this brings high costs. construction cost.I don’t think it is very likely that criminals who would rather buy illegally mined ore than go through formal channels will build formal smelting plants. I just need to go to neighboring countries to find someone who litters toxic waste on their sites. Who is collecting the stolen goods. 】

[After you find them, don't startle them, first investigate to see if they are one or two groups of people, and whether they know that there is a new owner of the mines in Toto Town.The country of Lysos did not deliberately release an official statement, but if you really want to ask, there will always be something to gain. 】

[Do you want them to know or not? 】

【Of course I hope they don’t know, so that I don’t have to worry about them communicating with each other. Then when my seal is completed, they sneak up to mine and trigger the magic circle all of a sudden. It’s good to scare them half to death. 】

[Then we swagger to catch the thief, maybe we can get some unexpected surprises. 】Ah Huang narrowed his eyes knowingly, and wagged his tail happily from side to side.

[The premise is that the thieves don't know that I have obtained the mining rights. 】

[It doesn't matter if you know, they have collected so much secretly, they obviously discovered the correct method of use just like you, it is impossible to stop doing it, luck will make them know the danger and still go, as long as they don't know you To seal the whole territory. 】

[Be careful when acting, just scare people, don't scare people to death, the important thing is the boss behind them, and the small characters who work in front of them sometimes have a lot of useful information. 】

[Then you need to add something to your magic circle. When the magic circle is triggered, you have to hold people back for a while, so that people can't use magic to escape, until I rush over. 】

【Well~, such a long distance, how long will it take you to rush over? 】

[It must take several minutes. 】

[Then how about calling another reinforcement? 】

[You want to call that stupid dog?You don't believe my speed? 】

[Farrell agreed to lend me Harding when I needed it, free labor is not in vain. 】

[Well, for the sake of free, you can inform him, I'll go to sleep. 】Ah Huang yawned big, jumped off the terrace, and got into the forest all at once.With its current body shape, it is no longer suitable for activities in the guild, and the forest is its most comfortable nest.

Bai Tongtong put away the samples all over the floor, then wrote a letter to Farrell, and threw them into the runestones.

Seeing that it was written on the note that the reason for borrowing Harding was that Ah Huang discovered the thief stealing the mine, Farrell squinted his eyes slightly and thought about it, and wrote the matter down in the notebook as an important level, and then gave Bai Tongtong's reply said that he went to the guild to have dinner at night, and called Harding with a whistle to let him go to the guild first.

Of course, Harding and Ah Huang exchanged feelings and information in their own way, but Bai Tongtong didn't bother to ask what the two top monsters did.

Farrell came after it was completely dark. He was exhausted after a day's work, and the delicious dinner didn't cheer him up much. It seemed that it was best to give him a bed directly.

There were not many people in the restaurant, and most of the guests had already eaten and left. Bai Tongtong was sitting next to Farrell with a pack of nuts, slowly peeling and eating one by one.

"Extremely tired today?" Bai Tongtong counted in his heart, thinking that when he was about to eat the first bite, he would directly fall asleep on the table.

"Tough day." Farrell still pushed away the unfinished plate, and he couldn't see the delicious stew.

"Is it convenient for you to tell me?" Bai Tongtong beckoned for the servant to remove the plates and serve tea.

"A group of lunatics has entered the country, an extremely dangerous and crazy group of people."

"What did you do?"

"They believed that fire could expel pollution and purify evil spirits."

"What do a group of arsonists from abroad want to do after entering the country?!"

"I also want to know the answer to that question."

"Do you still have their whereabouts?"

"Lost. My subordinates watched them enter a restaurant, but there were people staring at the front and back doors, but they never came out. After searching inside, they found that the cellar was actually a secret passage. The exit of the secret passage was a warehouse. Full of smuggled goods."

"Hmph, the arsonist was not caught, but he stole a smuggler's lair, which is a bit of a gain. But if they break up and act separately after they come out of the secret passage, it will be very difficult for Harding to find them .”

"That's right."

"Why don't you let Ah Huang go over and have a look? Finding clues in the secret passage, earth-type monsters are better."

Farrell finally regained some energy and raised his eyebrows, "Okay. I think they must still be in that city. Fanatics don't even bother to use magic items, and they can't go far without a teleportation array."

"Then solve your problem first, and then deal with my problem."

"Your question is very simple. Let Ah Huang go to Rebjanik to search carefully. The ore must have flowed there in the end."

"So sure?"

"You used the sample on civilian products, but what if you don't make civilian products?"

"Military supplies." Bai Tongtong nodded clearly, "If it's true, why didn't the Rebyaniks apply to Lessos for mining?"

"Lethos is an ally of our country. Rebjanik doesn't do good deeds. If they bring it up, it will mean telling our country that Lythos has rare minerals that can make advanced weapons."

"Hmmm. Could the stealer be from Rybjanik as well?"

"It's more likely, but it's hard to talk nonsense without evidence."

"It seems that there is another opportunity to go to Rybjanik for an exchange visit this year."

"We're still talking."

"No mistake, right? It's been a few months since the matter was mentioned at the crown prince's birthday dinner last year, and it hasn't been fully discussed yet? Can this exchange meeting really be held this year?"

"You want to go sightseeing in Rybjanik?"

"Although it's close at hand, I just haven't been there."

"You should focus on the work in front of you. The construction site has already started, and you are talking about buying land to build a smelting plant. Have you sent someone to talk about it?"

"Ah Huang just completed the investigation of Toto Town today, and things have to be done one by one."

"I'm worried if the Rebyaniks have mastered the craft of making new weapons."

"The mineral resources are in my hands now, and I'm about to seal the whole territory, how many times can they steal it?"

"Seal of the Territory?! Why didn't you say it earlier! I'm good at this!" Farrell's exhaustion was swept away, and his eyes sparkled.

"Speaking of which, you're in for a treat!"

"Very few people are able to seal the entire territory, which consumes a lot of magic materials, and you are really willing to spend money."

"Otherwise I'm far away here, how can I manage the situation over there? What's more, I haven't started yet, and the ore is stolen first. Ah Huang said that the mine layer has been cut off. Fortunately, it is a rich mine, so he doesn't care about the loss. "

"Call me on the day of the seal, you will need a helper."

"How about I give you all the materials, and you seal it for me?"

"Happy to serve."

"My plan is to leave a trap in the magic circle. After the seal is completed, if there are still people who come to steal the ore, I can catch their whereabouts. That's why I want to borrow Harding."

"Well, it will take a lot of time to rush over here after triggering the magic circle. The trap must be set cleverly, and the thief must be controlled for a while, but it will not make them wait desperately for someone to catch them, but make them think There is a chance to escape, but in fact, it has fallen into the joint pursuit of two top monsters."

"As expected of an expert, compared to you, I appear to be very simple. I just want to trap the thieves until Ah Huang rushes over."

"Catch someone and ask for a confession? That's so boring! You have to suddenly appear in front of them when they are relaxed physically and mentally, so that they will never forget this most tragic moment in their lives."

"Why, I never found out that you like to make some drama when you do things."

"It shows that you didn't make any effort to understand me." Farrell pretended to shake his head, as if he was really sad, and Bai Tongtong almost threw a handful of nut shells in his face.

Farrell's mood improved and he regained his appetite. The kitchen made him a light meal. Bai Tongtong went outside to call Ah Huang, and let him go with Harding to find the escaped foreign arsonist. There is no rush to seal it. The design of the magic circle is not yet complete.

Ah Huang snorted, and followed Harding away together with the crow. The black eagle seemed very happy to meet his companion playing with fire, and squawked endlessly excitedly.

After eating, Farrell went to Bai Tongtong's office to see her design plan of the sealing array, and guided her to make modifications to achieve her desired effect.
