Alien landlady

Chapter 268 The Palace Banquet
Farrell came to pick them up when it was getting dark, and stood in front of the stairs in the hall while chatting with the magicians while waiting for Bai Tongtong to come downstairs.

A few minutes later, Bai Tongtong walked down the stairs holding Irene's arm. The high-end dress with simple cut but luxurious fabric and glittering gold immediately blinded the eyes of everyone present. The noble queen walks into her human world, and people can't help bowing deeply to her.

Farrell stretched out his hand to hold Bai Tongtong with a smile on his face, leading her steadily towards him, took her hand and kissed her fingers, "Good evening, my Majesty, you are so charming today."

"Good evening, my lord, you are not bad today." Bai Tongtong raised his eyebrows, and looked at Farrell with admiration. He was shaved, and there was no stubble on his face. Not obvious.

The expressions of the two seemed to be joking, and the volume was not loud. Only Irene heard it, and just laughed it off as a joke, reminding them softly that it was time to set off.

The two of them walked arm in arm from the teleportation array to the temporary guild of the palace. As before, they first walked out of the palace by the small path, then went around to the main entrance, and lined up with other guests to enter the gate of the palace.

Bai Tongtong's burqa was like a wide cloak, covering from the chest to the skirt, but when he came outside, he was still squinted by the cold night wind, and subconsciously pulled the neckline of the burqa tight, but Suddenly the wind stopped, and without the wind, a trace of warmth naturally returned to my body, and I didn't have to worry about the wind messing up my beautiful hairstyle all afternoon.

Farrell's smug chuckle came from the top of Bai Tongtong's head, she knew he did it without looking, and she took out a new gadget from the ring, a cylinder the size of half a palm, and fiddled with the switch Finally, a beam of light was emitted from one end, forming a small circle of light on the ground, illuminating the surrounding ground.In fact, it is a magic flashlight, inspired by the white magic light technique, one of the most basic magics that new students learn after learning to mobilize magic elements.

This magic is often used by mages as temporary lighting, but the light is not far away, it is a soft light like warm water, it hurts the eyes after reading and writing for a long time, if you want to see the road at night, you have to control your steps all the time You can only see the road ahead, so the habitual thinking that has been formed for a long time is to light up your hand and find what you are looking for.

Bai Tongtong figured out the magic flashlight in the past few days of recuperating behind closed doors. The principle is exactly the same as that of the battery-operated flashlight. She now has both raw materials and semi-processed materials, so the experiment is easy to do. Although this first The workmanship of the sample is rough, but it is successful, and the magic power consumed by the light technique is very small, even a piece of ordinary magic spar with impurities can last for a long time.

Farrell immediately took the new item from Bai Tongtong's hand, shook it in his hand, watched the aperture pointing, and couldn't stop laughing.

"If you want to stand here and play, feel free, I will go alone first." Saying that Bai Tongtong was about to withdraw, Farrell quickly grabbed her.

"Since you've already thought of this, why don't you make a magic lamp instead of using candles."

"The general lighting is okay, but reading and writing needs to be improved. It still hurts the eyes after a long time." Bai Tongtong said while taking out a magic desk lamp from the ring. It has a round lampshade, a curved lamp pole, and a heavy base. , Press the switch on the base and the light will turn on. The workmanship is more refined than the magic flashlight, but it is still a test sample. "Originally this is for the president. He will definitely attend the dinner today."

Farrell accepted it bluntly, "You can seriously make a few more and send them to the president and the principal. I will accept this."

"You're too thick-skinned."

Farrell grabbed Bai Tongtong's hand and put it back on his arm. With the other hand, he held a flashlight to shine on the path under his feet, "We should go out, otherwise it will be hard to stand in a long line."

When the two of them went out through the small gate and went back to the direction of the square, they saw the carriages of the guests lined up under the steps in front of the palace. The guests stepped up the steps one by one according to the list of invitation cards, and there were many magicians in the crowd. Teachers are also lining up.

Bai Tongtong, who didn't want to stand in a long line, decided to cheat. She dragged Farrell, and immediately used the ground escape technique to come to the front of the first carriage. The bright magic light immediately attracted everyone's attention. When they saw Bai Tongtong and Farrell At that time, the guests greeted them immediately, and a couple who were already standing in front of the ceremony officer and were about to hand over the invitations to state their names, took two friendly steps back and let them jump in line.

Farrell and Bai Tongtong immediately responded with thankful smiles, Farrell handed over his invitation card, and the officer of ceremony invited them into the palace without citing their names.

Walking in the brightly lit palace, the inconspicuous dresses that were seen in the dim outdoors showed a luxurious style at this time. The fashion atmosphere of the royal capital is mainly gorgeous, with bold colors, and even painters participated in the costume design In the middle, the colorful costumes make people look like the characters in the painting, so Bai Tongtong's glittering golden body is not vulgar at all.

As usual, we socialized freely in the large lounge first. Gentlemen and ladies took off their coats at the door to reveal the delicate clothes inside. Everyone greeted each other happily.

Bai Tongtong originally thought that she could sit in an inconspicuous corner and wait for the dinner party to start like the previous few times, but found out that it was not possible tonight. Every male and female guest who walked in came to say good night to her. Some of these people were old-fashioned nobles , some were new faces, and they all took the initiative to chat with Bai Tongtong and Farrell, with hearty laughter and enthusiasm.

When seeing the president and his wife walking in together, Bai Tongtong immediately seized the opportunity, pulled Farrell to greet him, and warmly hugged his wife.

After the simple greetings, Madam walked away tactfully, went to chat with her friends, and let the three of them chat.

The three of them walked to the corner of the room, and Farrell erected a sound-shielding enchantment generously. Today's situation is special, there are many magicians present, as long as there are chat groups with magicians participating, there is a slight magic fluctuation.

"How was today's canonization ceremony? Is it lively? Is there no one making trouble?" Bai Tongtong pretended to be confused when she didn't receive the invitation to watch the ceremony. The identities of the baron and the president of the Magician's Guild in Fubao Town are too low-level, so she just feels at ease What's more, she was still waiting for the tailor to deliver the skirt in the morning, and she didn't even know what to wear if an invitation letter was sent to her.

"If you want to see the excitement, you should come by yourself. Don't use the invitation letter as an excuse." The president smiled and said to break Bai Tongtong's careful thinking, "Don't say we didn't send you an invitation letter. Get out? But it's Farrell's intention not to invite you."

"President, you will betray me." Farrell shook his head and laughed.

"But it's right, if you come in the morning, the guests will eat you alive."

"I think those people who greeted me just now look like they want to swallow me." Bai Tongtong glanced at the crowd in the lounge, and someone happened to meet her gaze and nodded to each other.

"The list of dinner guests is already much smaller than the number of guests who watched the ceremony in the morning, and you should also adapt to your new identity." The president smiled inscrutablely.

"What identity do I have?" Bai Tongtong looked at Farrell in surprise, "I haven't looked for you these days, so what news I don't know?"

"Ah Huang rescued the princess who was about to jump off the building, and supervised the lost eldest prince's family to return to the royal territory. The whole country knows that you are fully involved in this matter, and you have the ability to directly interfere with His Majesty's decision."

"I can't afford that big hat!"

"The whole country has already recognized that, so don't struggle, it's useless." The president and Farrell gave a helpless expression together.

"So those people's warm greetings are because they think I have great power? I thought it was aimed at you." Bai Tongtong pointed at Farrell.

"Everyone knows how powerful the chief clerk is. Others are dissatisfied with me only because I didn't leak the news in advance, but it's different for you. Who doesn't know that our respected Baroness Salter rarely speaks out politically? My own voice, I don’t care about my political influence, I am only interested in magic experiments and making money. I didn’t expect to give everyone a big surprise this time.” Farrell took Bai Tongtong’s hand, smiled and kissed her finger.

"I don't speak because it's so wrong to say too much. I'm just a novice in politics. I haven't even figured out the factions and camps until today, and I haven't recognized all the nobles who are eligible to hold meetings in the whole country." Bai Tongtong's mind still hasn't turned. Come around the corner.

"Don't be self-righteous. Many people will listen to your casual comments. Now everyone has seen that you have exerted influence in this matter from the beginning to the end. Farrell made a separate statement the evening before, The next morning meeting, the crown prince was replaced at an unprecedented speed, and there was no discussion with the ministers for the first time, and everyone knows that you two are staunch allies, how do you make others think, right?" The president reminded Bai Tongtong.

"So, they all came to have a good relationship with me?"

"Otherwise some unlucky ghost will inadvertently hurt you next time, I hope you can save a few good friends before you do it." The president squeezed his eyes, "The crown prince was replaced, and the entire upper echelon of the country was seriously injured. All the manpower used was unemployed, and Crown Prince Booker himself replaced a group of people. These people have to re-acquaint themselves with their respective responsibilities. It is estimated that it will take the entire summer just to understand the various rules and regulations. It is necessary for them to fully take over I don't know how long it will take to work."

"That's what they deserve. It's not good to betray anyone. To betray me. How boring and boring the life of the princess is."

"Who knows, nobody cares." Farrell shrugged.

"I hope the new crown princess won't make the same mistake. Is her name Amira?" Bai Tongtong asked Farrell to remove the barrier, and took three glasses of wine from the passing attendants.

"By the way, during the banquet, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess will definitely come to talk to you. Be polite to them, and don't show any expressions other than a smile." Farrell's perfect social smile glanced at the audience. Know who to raise your glass to.

"Do they want to thank me for dragging the eldest prince down?" Bai Tongtong immediately followed suit, searching for people she knew in the crowd with smiling eyes, and it seemed to others that the three of them were chatting very interestingly.

"They will hope that you will contribute more to the future of the country." Farrell retracted his eyes and lowered his head to take a sip of the low-alcohol wine. "They are afraid of you."

Bai Tongtong's shoulders shook twice, and he almost spit out the wine.

"Don't make funny faces. Smile." Farrell held the wine glass in his right hand and put his trouser pocket in his left hand. His posture was relaxed. He looked as if he was joking with the president, but in fact, both of them were focusing on Bai Tongtong.

Bai Tongtong kept the corners of his mouth turned up, swallowed the wine with great difficulty, and took another sip of Shun Shun Qi, "Are they afraid of me? Are they afraid that I will drag them down?"

"Obviously."

"Why are you not afraid of you?"

"I'm not the legendary angel's partner." Farrell's tone was taken for granted, "I'm just a chief clerk who can be dismissed at any time."

"It's really cunning. But, the crown prince doesn't even know?"

"Only His Majesty knows. The last crown prince didn't know either. Otherwise, after the Shadowless Cat and you appeared, the country could still be so peaceful? It is precisely because there are very few people who know the existence of phantom wolves that you have time to learn and grow." The president explained.

"Well, that's true." Bai Tongtong rolled his eyes, "Is my performance still passable?"

"Of course, it's smarter than we imagined." The lines on the corners of the president's eyes burst into a loving smile.

Bai Tongtong smiled, changed the hand of the wine glass, and elbowed Farrell, "Show the gift to the president."

"It's such a rough thing, I'd better use it reluctantly." Farrell took out the magic flashlight, lit it up and showed it to the president.

The president's eyes lit up suddenly, and he took it with great interest and fiddled with it twice, and he understood the principle of light in a short while.

"The light technique of white magic? Tongtong, you really can figure it out."

"Isn't this a closed door to thank guests and recuperate? It's a product of boredom."

"It can be seen that the workmanship is too rough and experimental, but it is very interesting."

"There's another big guy." Bai Tongtong stretched out her foot from under her skirt, threatening to step on Farrell, "Take out the desk lamp, that one is for the president, you want to make a new one for you in a few days .”

"I want to make it beautiful, and I want to place it in the most conspicuous place in the living room." Farrell handed the wine glass to Bai Tongtong to hold it for him, and he took out the heavy desk lamp, which was brighter than the flashlight, and the lighting was absolutely no problem.

"Do you want the wall lamp hanging on the wall?" Bai Tongtong blew on his forehead, "After I accidentally burned a few hairs off by a candle, I vowed to have a new lamp."

The president and Farrell shook their heads helplessly and amusedly, then Farrell withdrew the barrier, returned the wine glass to the attendant, and the three of them put aside the boring topic they had just talked about, and turned to discussing the use of light techniques in lighting lamps. It's more exciting to talk about magic.
