Alien landlady

Chapter 237 Bright Future

"In the future, I can organize a high-altitude hot air balloon flight once a day, charge a few gold coins per person, and provide a piece of biscuit." Bai Tongtong announced her plan to make money in a joking tone.

"Only biscuits and no hot tea?"

"The teacup is too dangerous. If it falls, it will kill people. Biscuits are better." Bai Tongtong looked serious, as if he was really thinking about it.

"That's too bad, I'm craving a cup of hot tea right now, I'm kind of bored, it'll be a while before we fly back."

"Well, special guests can provide hot tea. The safety of the people and animals on the ground must be considered. Ordinary guests are only given biscuits."

"I'm definitely a special guest."

"It's up to me whether it's special or not." Bai Tongtong snorted triumphantly, took out a stainless steel kettle from the ring and grinned at Farrell.

"If you take it out earlier, you won't have to blow the cold wind for so long." Farrell raised his hand to stabilize the airflow in the hanging basket, and the wind blowing in all directions disappeared in an instant, and the two of them seemed to be standing indoors. stable.

"Are you cheap or not!" Bai Tongtong glared at Farrell, the earth element quickly condensed into a stone slab, she put down the kettle, and went on to take out two teacups and a small pot of dried flowers, as well as a small package of dried meat strips and a Pack potato chips for a snack.

The hot tea poured from the double-layer insulated kettle was hot to the touch. Holding the teacup in both hands, he looked at the scenery below and smacked his lips happily.

Farrell sat in the hanging basket in a floating posture, with his legs crossed, looking leisurely, as if he was in some high-end place enjoying expensive top-notch services. In fact, apart from the good tea in his hand, dried meat sticks and Potato chips are nothing more than homemade snacks in the kitchen, and they are Bai Tongtong's favorite taste. They are not sweet but spicy, and potato chips are also salty. They are not the sweet tooth of the mainstream of the upper class.

Bai Tongtong was chewing potato chips and circling around the edge of the hanging basket to look at the scenery. The sunset sky was like a richly colored canvas, but even the best masters could not perfectly present the beauty of nature.

"I drink a cup of tea. You walked around at least ten times. Can't you sit down? Are you not tired?" Farrell was dizzy from Bai Tongtong's walking back and forth, which also affected him to look at the scenery. It is also the first time for him to be at a high altitude. In the past, he used the wind travel technique to hurry when he flew so high occasionally.

"Don't take a look at the scenery now, and bring others up tomorrow, even if you want to see it."

"You fly twice a day these days, and after you fly a few more times, you don't even want to look at it. In order to leave some freshness behind, you'd better sit down and rest now." Farrell rolled up the wind and placed it on the soil. The tea set and snacks on the element board were placed between the two of them. Bai Tongtong withdrew the magic, condensed a chair for herself, and sat diagonally opposite Farrell.

"Well, tomorrow I will announce that the horizon is curved and the world is a ball." Bai Tongtong continued to munch on potato chips.

"Publicly announce the first half sentence, write the second half sentence in your published article, and take it out as your research results."

"why?"

"Even if they are magicians, it is too difficult for them to go around in the sky, just saw the horizon is arc-shaped, and immediately deduce that the world is a ball after landing. Don't trust the intelligence of every wizard. "

"Well, give them a time to accept new knowledge."

"If you only announce the horizon, the public's reaction will not be too great. Illiterate people don't realize the importance of the shape of the horizon, but if you directly announce that the world is a sphere, you will be blown up. Outsiders will ignore it for the time being. First, you have to Think about the attitude of those under you in the face of this completely subversive new knowledge."

"That's right, the combined total of [-] people in my two territories depend on me for food. If they start a fight, it's really difficult for me." Bai Tongtong scratched her cheek, and Farrell reminded her of a very troublesome problem.

"Your Wismar territory has that many people?"

"Yes, the town and surrounding villages add up to almost ten thousand, and the population of Salter Village is just a fraction."

"How to stabilize the emotions of your own people is the next job you have to do. Don't be impatient. Don't worry about whether someone will rush to announce it before you. If someone really does it, it will be better. The focus of the conflict will be shifted. But if there are no such kind-hearted people, it doesn’t matter if you take your time, anyway, theoretical research takes a lot of time.”

"Well, I have to think about it."

"There's still time when you come back from Rybjanik, don't rush."

"Hmm." Bai Tongtong responded perfunctorily, not listening to what Farrell said carefully at all, his facial features were wrinkled, and he looked like he had encountered a big problem that was difficult to solve.

Farrell grabbed the kettle and poured himself a fresh cup of tea. Silence surrounded the two of them, each in a daze.

Bai Tongtong finally gave up the idea of ​​struggling with difficult problems under such beautiful scenery, and predicted the behavior patterns of 1 people in advance and made various possible plans and countermeasures. This is really not an easy task, and there is no experience that can be used for reference. .

"This is really killing me." Bai Tongtong muttered, picking up a piece of preserved meat and chewing bit by bit.

Farrell glanced at Bai Tongtong, "Do you want to work in the General Guild in the future?"

Bai Tongtong froze for a moment, still biting the jerky in his mouth, "Your thinking is jumping around without any rules."

"Vice President of the General Guild, this is the highest height you can reach. It is also the first female Vice President in history. The President is still a man. Except for the Queen's enthronement, the public will not accept a second woman in any industry number one."

"My future has already been decided before I knew it?!" Bai Tongtong was inexplicably surprised.

"As a partner of Shadowless Cat, how could it be possible for you to be the guild leader of a poor border town all the time? As long as there are legitimate reasons, promotion is predictable."

"In other words, if I put forward the theory that the world is a sphere, I will get a promotion?"

"If there's a vacancy, yes, that's right."

"Then what about my territory?!"

"You can still live in your territory and use the teleportation array to travel."

"Telling me so suddenly that I might be promoted in the future is as unreal as a dream."

"The more stable your position is, the more I will benefit. It would be good for me if you can be promoted, and it would be good for you if my position is stable."

"The gifted student back then, now the chief clerk, second only to the ministers' second-class close ministers, the number two person who speaks weight in front of His Majesty, holds countless little secrets that people can't see, and dominates the political circle from top to bottom All walks of life, but your influence in the magic world has been weakened to a low point. Few people think that you still have the amazing level of the past, and all you have is the honor of the past. I am your ally. The higher my status, the more It can hold the control of the magic world for you, and ensure that you can get enough support from the magician when necessary and no one will turn against you. You have the support of the magic world, plus your current status, there is no If people can try to grab your seat again, you can do whatever you want, and at the same time give back a little favor to the magic world, and then I will support you more firmly, and ultimately mutual benefit." Bai Tongtong deeply understood the allies all aspects of the relationship.

"The vice president of the general guild is also the number two figure in the magic world. He has real power no less than the president. Even the president may not be clear about many things, but the vice president must know the cause and effect." The corner of Farrell's mouth floated With a pleasant smile, one knew that Bai Tongtong would figure out the pros and cons.

"How can I be the vice president? I don't know how many people are staring at that seat. Why give it to me?"

"A third-level and a half mage is enough to be the guild leader in a wealthy city. It proves that the world is a ball, and you have a reason to be promoted, and even upgrade you by half a level to become a fourth-level mage. As you keep throwing All kinds of research results, no one can stop your bright future, and the guild will give you more benefits if you can make the church feel uncomfortable at the same time. I'm glad you appeared in our country instead of Rebjanik, Otherwise, the cat will run away with you, and I will still be alone, unable to do anything, and at the same time have a headache that the country on the other side has a guy who can compete with me. This is really not good."

"That's not necessarily true. If you come here for a beauty trick, maybe I covet your beauty and take the initiative to come and settle down with you."

"Just wait until you can say that about the most handsome man you've ever seen in Rybjanik."

"Huh?! Is there a handsome guy in Rebjanik who is more handsome than you?" Bai Tongtong's eyes lit up with great interest.

"You'll know it when you see it with your own eyes."

"What you said will make me look forward to Rybjanik again."

"It's worth looking forward to. As long as you don't indulge in beauty and run away with others."

"Well, well, it depends on how much the other party takes in exchange." Bai Tongtong raised her chin proudly.

"It's too bad, the only thing that can be given here in China is the vice president."

"Oh, no wonder I mentioned this suddenly. It turned out that I was afraid that I would run away with the handsome guy in Rebjanik. Is there really someone who can be so handsome?"

"What kind of adjectives are you using? So handsome? Is this terrible or a compliment?"

"Because he's so handsome, it makes people overly excited, and a large group of people have nosebleeds. That scene would be tragic."

"Hmph, it's all nonsense. The church over there now has an absolutely powerful position. If you covet the beauty of the handsome guy over there and stay, you will be miserable in the future."

"It's really hard to say which side will be the most miserable in the war started over handsome guys." Bai Tongtong clicked his teeth, like a beast preparing to eat in front of delicious food, "You know I won't Take the opportunity to turn the boundary river into an inland river?"

Farrell's eyes widened, the teacup shook slightly in his hand, and a calculated smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Oh, your words are really more beautiful than sweet words."

"Everything is under control." Bai Tongtong jumped up, spun neatly, and rushed to the basket behind him to see the last view before sunset.

Farrell was enjoying hot tea, and controlled the wind to push the hot air balloon slowly towards the direction of Fort Town. He was the master in the sky, and the unstable air flow at high altitude had to become a gentle breeze in front of him.

When Bai Tongtong recognized the meandering river in the distance as the Boundary River, she followed the trend of the river to find her place. The sun was about to set, and it was quite easy to find the guild surrounded by a large forest, although the color of the roof had changed. It was dark and inconspicuous, but most of the rooms were lit, and there was smoke curling from the chimney, and the cooks were supposed to be frying steaks.

The crow controlled its fireball to gradually become smaller little by little. Driven by the wind, it flew towards the lawn outside the guild and lowered its height as if it had been precisely calculated.

When finally reaching the sky above Fubao Town, Ah Huang ran out from the forest and shouted at the sky on the lawn, all the people in the guild ran out, and the servants lit several large bonfires that were specially piled up , the bright flame brought guidance, and the hot air balloon fluttered leisurely and finally landed outside the campfire circle. Otherwise, when the balloon collapsed, it would be bad if it fell on the fire and burned.

There were quite a few people waiting in the guild, and the girls were all there. Amidst the warm applause, Bai Tongtong and Farrell walked down the hanging basket hand in hand like heroes, accepted everyone's congratulations, and walked into the Indoor rest.The servants were outside quickly cleaning up the mess.

Later at dinner, the second group of brave experiencers who went up to watch the sunrise tomorrow were selected. The wind mages who did their part were laughed at by everyone as gritted their teeth. The tallest building will always be the traditional architectural habit of the church bell tower. And social customs, it is already a rare experience for these people to go up to [-] meters in the air during the day, and they will go up to hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters so soon, just thinking about it makes their calves tremble. It's good to go to heaven, and it's more at ease to be down-to-earth.

They made an appointment for tomorrow's departure. After dinner, the wind mages stayed in the guild. The other guests said goodbye one after another. Farrell didn't stay long. Seeing him leave, Nona and the other girls followed him back. Wangdu, hurry up and get along with him for a while.

Take a comfortable shower in the newly renovated bathroom, and then take a bath in the hot pool. In the middle of the water, it does not sink to the bottom, and the water temperature is so hot that it can boil eggs. She tried it once, and even if it is full of people, it can supply hot water for bathing. It is very miraculous.

Sitting on her bed in a warm body, Bai Tongtong wrote with a pen and paper. Farrell revealed a lot of information to her today, and she wanted to write it down while her memory was still fresh. Next, she would work around the information. Get ready, don't mess yourself up.In addition, there is no need to rush to announce the results of geographical research that the world is a sphere. Her speech must also be revised to avoid mentioning the content of the sphere.

As for the Vice President of the General Guild mentioned by Farrell, to be honest, it was because he proposed it, but he had to be listened to in a discounted way. He has no weight in the magic world, and it may even be his personal idea. No one in the upper echelons of the wizarding world thought about it at all.

However, Bai Tongtong felt that what he said in the next few words was correct. As long as she continued to come up with real research results, no one could stop her bright future. It is also a geographical authority with a name in history.

To be an authority, Bai Tongtong knew where he could start.

Since the world is a sphere, it naturally needs the most basic geographical knowledge, such as longitude and latitude, the Tropic of Cancer, the division of the cold zone into the tropics, the establishment of the equator, and the international date line. To complete these, a large number of substantive field trips are required. Work, even with the convenience of movement brought by the Shadowless Cat, cannot be easily completed by one person.

Bai Tongtong wrote down her thoughts in the last few pages of the notepad, and the front pages contained normal content, and the little secrets that could not be seen had to be kept hidden. Someone accidentally saw her notes and asked her what is the latitude and longitude of the Tropic of Cancer.

Close the notebook and put down the pen, turn off the lights and go to sleep.
