Alien landlady

Chapter 246 Air Chat
"I have long heard that President Bai is good at cooking and loves delicious food. I ask President Bai to be merciful and let my little pet go. Its meat is not delicious." Calvert walked over with a smile, his knight Shaw Er followed him one step behind him, no more than one step, no less, and it always remained the same.

"Master Dabney, you actually eavesdropped on someone else's conversation." Bai Tongtong's face darkened, and he changed his address, only using his surname instead of his first name.

"Please forgive me, President Bai, our country has a humid climate, and water vapor is a good friend of every water mage. I didn't mean it."

"No matter how many reasons there are, eavesdropping is eavesdropping. There is no need to explain. To explain is to cover up, and to cover up means that it is true." Bai Tongtong raised her right hand and waved vigorously, not wanting to listen to Calvert's nonsense anymore.

"Please accept my sincere apology, Chairman Bai, I never meant to offend you."

"Master Dabney, I am not familiar with you enough to allow you to eavesdrop on my conversations with others without getting angry. You have seriously violated my privacy and personal boundaries. Maybe this is the custom of your country, but Forgive me for not accepting it, you can do it yourself." Bai Tongtong left in a huff and went to find the president.

Calvert couldn't keep his usual calm expression. He looked at Farrell hoping to get some support, but Farrell shook his head and pointed to the sky, "I'm sorry, Mage Dabney, you stepped on When it comes to her bottom line, I can't help you. Instead of thinking about how to get her forgiveness, it's better to help us solve our current affairs first. If the people from the church don't come, we will miss the early morning flight time. We must take off directly or cancel the flight. Please discuss it with everyone."

After Farrell finished speaking, he turned around and chased after Bai Tongtong. The head of the president listened to her strong protest with sweat on his forehead.

Calvert looked at his knight with a gloomy face, "This is too bad, I pissed her off."

"Shadowless Cat's partner has her own pride. You are indeed wrong this time. You must find a way to coax her back." Xiao Er's expression remained unchanged, but he said a lot, "I don't need to remind you again, she is right You are very important to this country and to our magic world. Only with her can the phantom wolf, which has disappeared for a long time, come out. The two top monsters representing heaven and earth must appear, and the other will follow. It is the winning force against the church."

"But you also said that the last time the phantom wolf appeared was many years ago. After such a long time, maybe it is dead?"

"Even if the one that appeared last time dies, there will be another one. The shadowless cat is here, and the phantom wolf will definitely exist, but we haven't found it yet. I am glad that she is still single now, and you are also unmarried, Gu Lisi doesn't have a good enough man to win her favor, this is your chance, don't mess it up."

"Hopefully she will accept the little gift I gave her."

"She's not those idiot women who are obsessed with small faces and identities. Look at the new weapons she showed to His Majesty Gulisi. They are so powerful. Shadowless Cat will not find a fool as a partner. Show your sincerity to associate with her." , since you need her help. If you fail, our agreement will also be cancelled. According to intelligence, she will go to the coastal cities of Marzio for entertainment from time to time. My companion's ship can dock there Go to the port and swear allegiance to her directly."

"I know, I haven't forgotten the agreement, so you don't need to remind me all the time." Calvert frowned with a displeased expression.

"As your knight, I'm worried that you'll make mistakes because of your eagerness for quick success." Shaw remained expressionless. "After all, when my companions and I first arrived, you helped us settle down. Although it was a mutually beneficial agreement in the end, but We will always be grateful to you for that."

Calvert finally looked better, "Then, my knight, it's time for us to find someone to discuss the hot air balloon flight. The church hasn't come yet, obviously to embarrass us."

The little sea mink jumped back on the master's shoulder, and the two started to walk towards their own people. Xiao Er glanced back at Bai Tongtong, who was still sulking in the distance, "The church was originally opposed to this exchange meeting, and their behavior was beyond expectations. Among them, no matter what, we have to take off according to the plan, and we can’t let the cat’s partner think that Rebjanik’s wizarding world doesn’t even have this little autonomy, which will directly affect the future cooperation between the two parties.”

On Bai Tongtong's side, the president finally calmed down the furious president Bai. Since everyone is a guest in Rebjanik, of course they have to listen to the arrangement of the host, unlike their country in Gulis, the magic world and the church On the surface, they do not interfere with each other, but they are all working hard in secret.

Frightened by Calvert, Bai Tongtong's favorability towards those two handsome guys dropped like a diving boat, and in front of the President, he tugged at Farrell's hem, "Don't worry, you're still number one in my heart." One handsome guy, Shore is second, and Calvert is tenth."

The president couldn't help laughing, and turned to look for Calvert and his knights, only to see the president of the Wizards Guild from Rebjanik walking over.

"I'm so glad I kept my position." Farrell was a little dumbfounded, but everyone loves to hear good things, even handsome guys who are used to hearing compliments. He happily took out a small box from the ring A high-end candy from a foreign country took a torn candy wrapper and handed it to Bai Tongtong.

Specialty candies from abroad have a strong sweet taste, and they must come from countries rich in sugar. The climatic conditions in Gulisi do not have much land suitable for planting sugar crops, so the daily sugar gap can only be imported, so there are sweets. Only the rich and the upper class can afford it. In the early days, it was said that the nobles would start wars over a few boxes of honey.

As soon as the two presidents met, they talked about the hot air balloon flight show. Since time waits for no one, if you miss the early morning, you can only wait for the evening. Even if the people from the church arrive now, it is too late to hold the blessing ceremony, so they just take off directly. The long-awaited people and colleagues cannot be disappointed.

Bai Tongtong ate the candy and stood still at first. She didn't take out her coat and put it on until she saw the magicians starting to gather towards the hot air balloon.

Calvert was also one of the experiencers. Shore didn't go up and stood with Farrell. Behind him were the screams of women. The visual impact of handsome guys standing side by side was too great. Farrell smiled and said The crowd waved their hands, and immediately some women passed out happily.

Bai Tongtong still remembered the unpleasantness of being eavesdropped just now, so he didn't give Calvert special care. Unless necessary, he didn't look at him and say a word, which made Calvert, who was looking for a chance to talk, very depressed.

Farrell held the walkie-talkie and the loudspeaker, and with the cooperation of other wind mages, the voice from the sky was transmitted to the ears of everyone present. The people enjoyed this unprecedented carnival and forgot that the blessing ceremony was not held. When the incident happened, the people from the church finally arrived late.

Seeing that the hot air balloon had already taken off, the faces of the clergy were full of dissatisfaction. Even the children who sang the hymns had similar expressions. A group of ten-year-old boys dared to disrespect magicians and deal with them Rebjanik's peers came forward to blame him. Gulisi just saluted and said hello politely, and then habitually ignored them. The mages took turns holding the walkie-talkie and telling jokes with the passengers on the hot air balloon flying away. Very happy.

Through the walkie-talkie, the people on the hot-air balloon also got the news that the church had finally arrived. Bai Tongtong looked at their expressions and told Farrell that the flying distance was too far and the call effect was a bit problematic. The communication was resumed, and then Bai Tongtong put away the walkie-talkie and chatted with the mages about the church.

Since their own country had an incumbent pope, the magic world, which was originally evenly matched, immediately weakened its political status consciously. At the same time, the speed of church expansion has doubled, seizing the resources needed by many magicians. Young people all aim to join the knight orders of churches at all levels. The mages have long been resentful but there is nothing they can do about it. Many people are very envious of Gulis's social environment. At least the magic world and the church still maintain a tug-of-war situation. , I admire His Majesty Askem IV's means of playing balance.

"The conflict between the magic world and the church is really deep-rooted." Bai Tongtong said calmly.

"The church has actually destroyed a lot of documents that recorded real historical events. Nowadays, people don't know the root of the grievances between the magic world and the church. The most common saying is that the magic world is dissatisfied with the scriptures that only recognize the status of gods, and put magic Masters are placed on the level of God's servants, and even the status of top monsters is higher than that of magicians." Calvert finally got the chance to speak, as the king's nephew, he has the unique right to read various materials, Know something more than others.

"How many resources does your church have now?"

"Except for the royal territory, the church has at least doubled the original land in the past few years, and it is robbing good places with minerals, forests, rivers, and fertile land. Even noble territories are built on the land owned by the church. , if the nobles want to sell the land, they can only sell it to the church, they cannot find a buyer themselves, and the buyer is only allowed to buy from the church. The church makes a fortune from this transfer.”

"The church is so good at collecting money, does it pay taxes?"

"Of course not. The state treasury is far less rich than the church treasury."

"But magicians pay taxes."

"Yes, mages all pay taxes, but our number is too small, and the little tax we pay is not worth mentioning compared to the money the church earns."

"I've always been curious about the purpose of the church's interference in the secular world. Shouldn't the clergy devote themselves to serving God and not caring about worldly affairs? Don't they want to establish a corrupt regime?" Bai Tongtong looked around at the crowd, but she still couldn't understand this.

The magicians pointed to Calvert and let him speak.

"The only advantage of the current pope being our Rebjaniks is that we can hear a lot of rumors that have never been heard before." Calvert paused and sighed a little, "The current holy city is too small. However, the number of settled people is increasing, and they want to find a more suitable place with a warmer climate and richer products.”

Bai Tongtong nodded knowingly, and looked towards the ground while holding the basket, "Rybjanik is a good place. The land is vast, the climate is warm, the rainfall is abundant, the products are rich, the biodiversity is diverse, the population is large, there are mountains and plains, inland and The coastline, and many neighboring countries are suitable for missionary work. It is simply a candidate for heaven."

"President Bai, with your praise, it feels like it's a pity that our country is not a new holy city." An old mage sighed and said a bad joke.

"If the church is allowed to continue encroaching on the country's land, it is very likely that they will succeed." Bai Tongtong still looked at the ground.

"Who said it wasn't the trend."

"Gulis welcomes magicians who immigrate and settle down very much, and the guild provides a generous monthly allowance that is sufficient to guarantee the needs of life." Bai Tongtong finally raised his head and smiled slyly at everyone.

"Hey hey hey, President Bai, you are really~~" The mages laughed lightly.

"Returning, returning, it's almost time, we should land, and I have a speech in the morning."

"We are all looking forward to President Bai's wonderful speech."

"I promise I won't let you down." Bai Tongtong was very proud of the content of her speech, and she believed that it would disturb the peace between the two countries.

The hot air balloon made a circle in the air, and was pushed back to the sky above the capital by the accompanying wind mages. Bai Tongtong pressed the call button on the walkie-talkie to resume communication with the ground. The poetic praises of the mages fluttered in the middle of the crowd. , the crowd cheered again, and when the hot air balloon reappeared above their heads, the atmosphere reached its climax, and finally landed successfully amidst the shouts of the audience.

The clergy who remained at the scene and waited wholeheartedly to watch the fun were greatly disappointed, and the leader greeted his own people to leave quickly in a car. The magicians dared to ignore the church because of the presence of their colleagues, and they would know the consequences.

After the flight, no more experience activities for the public to participate in. Waiting for Bai Tongtong to pack up the hot air balloon, they will go back to the main guild together. Several wind mages will help tidy up the balloon. Sai Luo and the maids took the pile of things back to the Royal Hotel to rest first, and then the magicians split up and drove to the guild. The mighty motorcade stretched for half the length of the street.

This time, the head guild specially arranged a single lounge for Bai Tongtong, so that she can change clothes and be alone, so that she can prepare for the next speech without being disturbed, but Farrell is guarding outside the door, The receptionist also has to go through his inspection when he comes to deliver refreshments.

There was some gossip among the magicians in Rebjanik at this time. Everyone knows the name Farrell Baldrick, the current chief clerk of the Kingdom of Gulis, and a gifted student who studied at the Menise School of Magic and Martial Arts. , but now, like a guard, she never leaves Bai Tongtong's side. There are always a few people who say something inexplicable out of their mentality.

Calvert would use the water vapor in the air to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, and it was common for Farrell to use the wind to transmit sound. It’s sad that they don’t know how to resist the strife of the church, but they gossip so much about others. It’s no wonder that the two top monsters that imply changing the world appear in the Kingdom of Gulis, not the Kingdom of Rybjanik.
