Alien landlady

Chapter 230 Seal Tracking
Don't worry about the administrative affairs in the office, Bai Tongtong started to get busy with her business, and went to the First Kingdom of Newland next door through Dawismar. She heard that there is a town not far from Wismar that is famous. The paper-making town in the city produces high-end paper products for the royal family and nobles. She wants to see if there is any suitable printing paper. The writing paper bought on the street is only a stopgap measure, and it is okay for emergencies, not for special use.

Ah Huang was left in the town to do civil work. Under the command of the contractor, it was responsible for laying the foundation. It was not only a guild shop to be built, but also supporting warehouses and carriage shops. Bai Tongtong wanted to take this opportunity to monopolize the town. The logistics industry, so she has very high requirements for construction standards, and she wants to build a landmark building in Fabao Town.

Bai Tongtong found the small town called Besh without much effort. It was just a short walk inland from the illegal border crossing in Wismar. The town and surrounding villages depend on the paper industry for their livelihood. Bai Tongtong wanted to buy some samples. She went back to experiment, but she ran into trouble spending money. She didn’t have Newland’s currency, so she had to turn around and go to the waterway border between Newland and Gulis, and exchanged some gold coins with a merchant who specialized in this business, and then returned to Beshling Scattered and purchased two large boxes of paper with different specifications.

Burrow's typewriter had already been used by Irene, so Bai Tongtong took away the one in the morning room, took a random novel and typed it to test the feel of the keyboard and the quality of the paper.

This is a very time-consuming experiment. The papermaking in Beishi Town is well-deserved, and there are really many varieties. Even if you only buy a few sheets of each item, you can make up two boxes, which is enough to show that Bai Tongtong has bought a lot of paper.

Ah Huang finished the civil work on the shop site, took time to go to Toto Town to mine some ore for Bai Tongtong, and then went to Salter Village to look after the construction progress of the sewer, and took every free time to rest, because in the dead of night , it also sneaked into the territory of Rebjanik, looking for that special smelting workshop.

It took a few days for Bai Tongtong to try out the paper she bought, find the type she was interested in, and draw the design draft of the sealing circle, and agreed with Farrell on the date of the seal, taking advantage of the free time , She went to Newland again, and this time exchanged some more gold coins at the border, and then went to Besh Town for a big purchase, and bought all the paper she liked.

Beishi Town relies on the pillar industry of papermaking, and there are many factories and workshops. High, medium and low-grade paper products are all produced by people. There has never been a shortage of large merchants with large purchases. Bai Tongtong is wearing plain clothes, so the factory owner didn't think much about it. I was just happy that the business was good today, and all the stock in the warehouse was sold out at once. I didn't realize that this was a wealthy merchant who was about to break the balance of the paper market in Beishi Town.

With the newly bought paper, she went to the inland area of ​​Marzio on her return trip, and went to another city to buy the tape base fabric for typewriter ribbons. It was an order she had placed a long time ago, and she tried countless kinds of fabrics. , only this kind of texture is like real silk, which can perfectly blend with the ink she prepared, and the ribbon made is durable.

Ah Huang's search for the past few nights has not yielded anything. Considering the size of Rebjanik, Bai Tongtong did not expect to have an answer in just a few days. If Farrell's guess is true, Toto Town The ore really flowed into the territory of Rybjanik and was used in the manufacture of weapons. The smelting workshops were probably hidden, and she would have to be lucky if she single-handedly found relevant conclusive evidence.

Back in the guild, Bai Tongtong urgently sent Ah Huang to Biddle with a big bag of gold coins, exchanged them for Biddle's gold coins, and rushed to Devil City to mine ore for himself according to the money.Typewriters also use this, and the printing function is realized by this magnetic material.

Based on the previous experience, Ah Huang knew which places in the vast Devil City were suitable for mining. Let Ah Huang go in.It went there for two days and directly refined the ore it picked into pure magnetic powder on the spot. The amount it brought back at one time couldn't fit in the warehouse, so it had to be put in its collar.

The magic magnetic ore is still a cheap and high-quality mineral in Biddle. The poor Biddle country guards the gold mountain but can't make any money. It is too difficult to mine, but a small bottle of high-purity pure magnetic powder can be sold at a high price. Bai Tongtong She bought a few boxes of sample jars with uniform specifications, and then listed them in the guild to sell the magnetic powder, easily earning back the cost. She also gave a few bottles to the school as experimental materials for teaching.

Relying on the huge income from selling magnetic powder, Bai Tongtong became one of the richest households in the country without knowing it. Farrell came to meet her on the appointed day, and when he was about to go to Toto Town to make a seal in the middle of the night, he specially reminded Bai Tongtong to be optimistic. The nobles have a tradition of lending their own money to each other, which is called the virtue of mutual assistance in the circle. She, a rich man, is attracting the attention of the nobles all over the country.

Bai Tongtong rubbed her storage ring, puffed her cheeks and muttered a few words, then forgot about it, counted the materials for the seal again, and set off when everyone in the guild had fallen asleep in the dead of night.

This time he didn't bring the crow, Ah Huang took the two of them to the town first, and Harding waited for them there, and everyone flew over together with Feng Xingshu.

In the high altitude of Toto Town, find the mountain where the thief stole the mine, first put Ah Huang down to investigate, and confirm that no one steals the mine tonight, and the seal officially begins.

Bai Tongtong took out the materials needed for the seal from the ring and handed them to Farrell, "Then it's up to you."

"It's clear that I'm just here to help tonight, and you want to do all the work for me?"

"You're an expert. We have limited time, so I won't make trouble for you. I'll treat you to breakfast tomorrow morning when I'm done." Bai Tongtong said with a smile.

Farrell pursed the corners of his lips seemingly helplessly, but instead of letting Bai Tongtong watch the show, he pulled her to stand beside him, all the materials were floating around the two of them, under Farrell's spell , The materials jumped out one by one, and according to his idea, they merged into a liquid state, and then according to the design drawing, a few minutes later, the first huge sealing circle was born.

After the magic circle was formed in the air, it slowly sank into the mountain, a faint golden light flashed, and there was no more movement, but Bai Tongtong knew that the seal was completed.

Bai Tongtong applauded Farrell vigorously, "As expected of an expert, if I am alone, I can't finish it in a few nights. It's up to you whether I can go back to take a nap tonight. I will definitely do it for you tomorrow morning." make breakfast."

"I originally volunteered to help, but it turned out that I was doing the work entirely. It deserves a few more favors from you."

"I owe it, anyway, I owe so much anyway, if there are too many lice, it doesn't itch, and if there are too many debts, I don't worry."

"That's what you said, don't bargain with me again in the future, saying that I cheated you." Farrell took out his notepad and wrote down this sum seriously.

"Okay, okay, work quickly, do you still want to have breakfast?" Bai Tongtong had the face of a rich landlord oppressing a long-term worker.

Farrell snorted softly, put away the notebook, and recited the spell again. The elements around him surged, and the sealing circle condensed and formed one after another. In the shape of a spiral pattern, it expanded from the inside to the outside, and finally Toto The entire territory of the town is sealed, and no one can steal a piece of minerals belonging to Bai Tongtong.

Ah Huang jumped into the hole opened by the ore thief, collected the ore, and refined it on the spot. He only brought the pure finished product back to the ground, and left the useless impurities in the ground. Because it was refined directly by magic, there was no remove any pollutants.

Harding pulled Ah Huang back to the sky, and the two of them returned to the guild. Bai Tongtong prepared a guest room for Farrell to rest. Send him two bottles of samples including magic magnetic powder.

Having obtained the precious and important minerals, Bai Tongtong is now relieved. She doesn't have to be so nervous every day worrying about someone stealing her ores, and instead starts to make magic typewriters calmly, using molds to process various spare parts in batches, even the magic inside. She also tried to use molds to make arrays, but there were not many successes. However, Bai Tongtong believes that if she wants to mass-produce typewriters, she must break through the problem of using molds to make magic arrays.

Bai Tongtong finally named the ore in Toto Town as rare earth, and went to the adjacent Porvoo land boundary to discuss the land purchase with the landlord. Such a large unused wasteland of at least [-] mu is at most a few cattle and sheep. Grazing grass leisurely, it is better for her to buy it earlier and build a factory later.

That piece of land was public land, not private landowners, but Bai Tongtong came to buy it, and everyone knew that she was a rich man now, so the price she offered was very high.Bai Tongtong also knew what these poor poor people were thinking, but considering the future appreciation potential of that piece of land, Bai Tongtong just bought it after a little repayment, and then she tried to seal it by herself. It was sealed to prevent people from farming. At the same time, Ah Huang went to urinate a few times and drew a strong-smelling boundary to drive away wandering livestock.

After a few days of peaceful and good days, there has been no movement from Toto Town since it was sealed. It is almost the end of February, and Bai Tongtong can't help but wonder in his heart, wondering if the thieves stole more in a short period of time last time? She didn't run out, so she didn't come here for the time being, but before she could comfort herself, she felt a strong signal from the sealing circle.

It's still broad daylight!
Bai Tongtong sincerely admired the boldness of the thieves.

Ah Huang, who was connected with each other, fled in an instant and rushed to Toto Town. At the same time, the specially designed sealing circle also sent a signal to Harding, and it also went to support.

In the cave, the trapped thieves wanted to get rid of the control of the magic circle in a panic, but no matter how hard they struggled, it was futile. Just when they desperately thought that they would be caught if they missed this time, they suddenly found that the restraint disappeared They didn't have time to think about it, they ran out of the cave, looking for a place without magic interference, and escaped with a directional teleportation scroll.

But when they ran to the open place outside, they immediately fell into Ah Huang's trap, and half of their bodies sank into the ground. It took a long time for them to react and scream, but in this deserted mountain, only frightened birds responded to them.

Ah Huang threw the candid spell at them, and Harding hid in the sky, manipulating the wind to imitate human voices, and asked the captives their origins in a strange tone.

Hearing the question from the sky and facing the majestic shadowless cat, the terrified captives were on the verge of incontinence, and under the blessing of magic, they answered whatever they asked, but the answer was not as good as they had guessed at the beginning As stated, these people are only responsible for stealing ore. They did not dig the mine. Their task is to use the directional teleportation scroll to fill the space bag on their body with ore, and then use the scroll to go back and give the space bag to The employer collects the payment and waits for notification of the next assignment.

Both the captives and their employers are citizens of the country of Laisoth, but the captives don't know who the employer is taking the task from. They only care about their own work and get paid, and they don't care about anything else.

After asking all the information about the employer, Ah Huang brought the captives back to the ground, and asked them to throw the space bags and magic tools for mining on the ground, and then Harding rolled them up and flew to nowhere , Ah Huang walked into the cave, dug out a large amount of ore to fill those interspatial bags, and then returned to the guild alone to report to Bai Tongtong.

The guys who stole the ore had to stay for several days every time they came to fill the space bag on their bodies before going back, but today they were caught just as soon as they started, which gave Bai Tongtong enough time to plan the next move.

Farrell got Harding's report, but only exchanged letters with Bai Tongtong to ask her what she meant, and then let her figure out a way to deal with it. After all, it was her mineral property, and she had to protect her own property. Responsible for providing backstop and support.

There was no La Farrell chirping around to remind Bai Tongtong to pay attention to this and that, Bai Tongtong was gearing up and ready to show off her skills.

That night, Bai Tongtong borrowed Harding like Farrell, took himself and Ah Huang to the place where the captives' employers were located, which was the southwest border of the country of Lessoss, but the opposite side of the border was not Rybjanik, but It is another small country. Obviously, in the process of ore smuggling, the role of this country is only a transit, and it does not have the technical ability to smelt this rare earth ore.

In this small border town in the darkness of night, Harding slowly lowered his flight altitude. According to the confessions given by the captives, he found the landmark building on the street where his employer lived, and then landed on the ground. Ah Huang used his sense of smell to open the way. After walking half a street, I found the owner's house, and the space bag had the scent of the owner.

Harding stayed outside to watch the wind, and Ah Huang sneaked into the house with Bai Tongtong. She first threw the sleeping scroll, and then used the mind-peeping technique on the male master to get information about the next contact person of ore smuggling. Merchants who do business between the borders of different countries are limited to this.

Although smugglers are used to being cautious, the organization here is too strict. Each link only does its own business. The upper family does not know the specific movements of the next family. Even if someone is exposed, it will not affect the safety of others. No matter how you look at it, there is a big boss behind the scenes who is coordinating and directing everything.

Since I don't know where to find the next link, I can only hope that the space bags prepared by Ah Huang in advance will wait two or three days for Ah Huang to put the space bags at the employer's house, and then follow and monitor them secretly , Chasing down link by link.

This is the end of tonight's tracking, and Bai Tongtong went back to sleep with the uncomfortable feeling of running for nothing.
