Alien landlady

Chapter 274 The Missing Maid
The more Bai Tongtong looked at it, the more she felt that this house really had no meaning of taking it back. Basically, it kept the original appearance of the exterior, and the inside had already been changed beyond recognition. Based on the little knowledge she had learned from dealing with builders during this period of time, she It can be seen that this floor was divided into several different rooms in the past, because there were beams that could not be dismantled, but they were covered with plasterboard and made into a decorative continuous dome. Large iron chandelier.

If you really want to take it back, it will be quite troublesome to change it back to a residence. It is almost the same to convert this existing structure into a library. You don't need much modification, just find a way to get a public toilet with hand washing.

"It doesn't make much sense to turn this house back into a residence. Forget it, I don't want to take it back now. Find an expert to measure the total area inside and outside, and pay me the rent every month according to the market price." Bai Tongtong shouldered the burden. Folding his hands, he looked up at the big chandelier above his head, thinking how many candles this thing would cost a night.

"Rent? We never paid!"

"Then next month, the tenth of every month is the day to pay the rent, and your church village, which is also my land, also needs to pay my rent, not less than a copper coin." out.

"My lady, you are the Countess now. If you don't have a Countess House, you are not worthy of your status and will be ridiculed by other nobles. You can't be in the guild every time you want to hold a banquet, right? The magic world It’s okay to have a banquet, but a noble banquet is absolutely inappropriate.” Xiao Er cooperated with acting.

"My dear Xiaoer, you have also seen the internal structure. It has been converted back to residential use. The money needed is enough to build a new house on a street. I might as well wait for my baron's mansion to be built."

"This was originally the Earl's Mansion, and it was dismantled into what it is now. Otherwise, whoever demolished it would be responsible for restoring it, and you can save money. My lady, there is no Earl of the Earl's Mansion. This is a curse, and you are not empty." An honorary nobleman with a title." Shaw had a bad idea, and secretly scolded the church for being shameless.

"That's right! Honorary nobles don't care about the relationship between title and property. I'm a territorial noble, and I have to care about it. At the meeting in September, other nobles will definitely ask me when I can come to my Earl's Mansion to attend the banquet." Bai Tongtong bit He pursed his lips, looking distressed.

"Lord, even if you take back the church now, it will be too late to return to the Earl's Mansion before September." The mayor stood up to coordinate with the priest's gaze.

"Then what good advice does the mayor have? You must know that I will face nobles from all over the country, as well as distinguished ministers, and even your majesty and queen. If they ask me one by one, I will find it difficult to deal with it." With a negotiable smile, Bai Tongtong threw the problem to the mayor.

"If they know that the Lord Lord generously lent the Earl's Mansion to the church as a church, the nobles will definitely praise your generosity." No matter how stupid the mayor is, he can hear Bai Tongtong's intention, and take the house without paying the rent, it's as simple as that.

"The mayor is right, but who doesn't know that magicians and the church have never been eaters in the same pot. Such a good house has been used for free for so long, and they are still not satisfied?"

"I can't decide this matter. Everything depends on the answer of the rector." The priest wanted to delay, and the letter he wrote a few days ago has not been answered.

"No problem, you can wait, but until you get an answer, the church and the village are closed."

"My lord, calm down, you must not do this! Everyone will make a fuss!" The mayor was terrified.

"Miss Countess, do you want to openly become an enemy of the church?" The priest stared, trying to put on a dignified look.

"I'm sorry, my lord priest, the church and the magicians are already incompatible enemies. Do you think it is necessary to declare them publicly again? Don't forget, I am the lord of this place, the owner of every inch of land here, and according to As far as I know, there is no church property in Fabao Town, so don’t play prestige in front of me, if I were afraid of the church, I wouldn’t publicly declare that the world we live in is the research result of a sphere.”

"Oh, no! A ball?!" The mayor's attention was immediately diverted.

"The mayor doesn't know, right? According to my research, our world is the same as the stars in the sky. It is a round ball revolving around the sun." Bai Tongtong had another amiable scientific face.

"Mayor, don't be deceived by her evil, that's a statement about going to hell, think about what it says in the scriptures, our world is the only one created by God, it is the paradise He gave us, it is the whole world At the center, the sun revolves around us." The priest pressed the mayor's shoulder.

"Then you go and ask God for a new piece of paradise." Bai Tongtong took out an hourglass and floated in the air, "When the hourglass runs out, whether to pay the rent or close the church and the village is your choice."

"Please, my lord, don't close the church and the village, the townspeople and the surrounding villagers will panic."

"Mayor, if you say that, you want to use the people to blackmail me? Want me to compromise with the church for the sake of the peace of the territory? Give my land to the church for free? Then what face do I have in the magic world? "

"If you dare to close the church and the village, our archbishop will definitely protest to His Majesty, just wait!" The priest no longer maintained basic politeness.

"The archbishop has protested to His Majesty more than once. You don't know how closed you are? Do you think I care about it once more? I can even interfere with the removal of the crown prince. Do you think that closing a church is such a trivial matter? Your Majesty will really stand up for you?" Bai Tongtong scoffed, the little priest really shouldn't quarrel with her.

"Faubourg Town is a traditional earldom. The church has been here since the first earl, and it has been guarding here for hundreds of years. You, a new earl, have no right to drive us away."

"Dear priest, please don't forget how you came here? You got this opportunity because of your predecessor's dereliction of duty. Why did your predecessor dereliction of duty? It's because I found out that there is a history of more than [-] years here. I even fought a fierce battle with it, finally defeated it, and made a great contribution. I became the earl of this place, which is the credit given to me by His Majesty. Based on this matter, the church will be dwarfed in front of me On my side, if you dare to disrespect me again, don't blame me for hitting you. You are just a priest at the lowest level in the clergy, and I am the earl of the territory, so you'd better remember your identity."

The priest finally sat down with a pale face, leaning on the chair, the mayor stood aside and his face was not very good, and Bai Tongtong's firepower also turned to him.

"Mayor, if you still want to be my loyal servant, you'd better remember whose interests you should put first, otherwise it would be very easy for me to change the mayor."

"My lord, I will be loyal to you wholeheartedly and only pursue your interests. Please don't replace me." The mayor prostrated himself on the ground and kissed Bai Tongtong's shoes.

"Very well, Mayor, have we reached an agreement?"

"Yes, my lord, no matter what order you give, I will do my best for you."

"Very good, get up and sit down, smooth out your clothes, dust off your body, and don't let the townspeople see you in a mess."

The mayor thanked him again, got up from the ground, sat down in front of a chair a few steps away, and smoothed his clothes and trousers carefully.

Bai Tongtong glanced at the floating hourglass, the sand was almost exhausted, and there was not much time left.

"My lord priest, have you considered it clearly? Should we close the business or pay the rent?"

"I pay the rent." The priest gritted his teeth and accepted the condition with some indignation.

"Ah Huang, measure the area." Bai Tongtong, who succeeded in persecution, smiled triumphantly.

Ah Huang let out a low growl, the yellow light on his body lit up, and disappeared under the ground.

"Dear priest, pay the rent on the [-]th of every month. Please don't forget that the mayor will supervise you. Farewell, I wish you a happy day." Bai Tongtong walked out of the church with a victorious attitude.

The mayor bowed to the priest, followed by Bai Tongtong and left.

Bai Tongtong was not too proud of her success in giving the priest a disqualification. Originally, this was her purpose, to provoke the other party to stimulate them to do wrong things, and to damage their prestige in the hearts of the people. , it was too much of a failure.

Fabao Town is a border town. For the sake of territorial security, it is impossible for the church to have the final say here. It's just that they have a long history here, and the benefits have been occupied for so long that they have forgotten what is the core of this town. Benefit.Before she came, Fabao Town had been reduced to a transit point for smugglers, and there was an undead creature with a history of more than a hundred years hidden under the manor, and the local church that had been occupying this place was completely unaware. This is enough to prove that the church guards the border What a joke.

Bai Tongtong is not afraid that someone will sue, but he is afraid that they will not.

After returning to the guild, Bai Tongtong called Bei Rui and asked her to prepare for this year's summer barbecue party. Last year's guests liked her brewed ale very much, but this year's summer has not yet arrived, and she has received several letters Asked about the BBQ.

Bai Rui happily accepted this task, and went down to make purchase preparations. With the experience of last year, she knew how much winemaking raw materials would be needed for the whole summer this year.

Burrow came in with a stack of newly received letters, and neatly stacked them on the table according to the identity of the sender. Of course, those related to business affairs had priority, and Bai Tongtong called him to stop him before he withdrew.

"Your internship period is coming to an end. Discuss with your partners. If anyone is willing to stay and continue to work for me, write me a list. If you don't want to stay, I won't ask why."

"Yes, President Bai, I will give you the list in a few days."

"No hurry, just give it to me before the summer vacation. If you are willing to stay, I will sign a three-year contract with you, but I hope that in the past three years, no one will tell me that the family has arranged a marriage and wants him to go back to get married so he has to resign. If it is true The reason for getting married, please wait until the contract expires."

"Yes, President Bai, I will tell them all this."

"Go, discuss it with your family and think about it."

Burrow bowed and left the office.

After reading those letters, Bai Tongtong dealt with some official business, and then began to think about which school to go to find a group of interns to do things this year. There are two earldoms, and there are too many government and affairs officials needed, and in a few days, Wismana The candidate on the side should arrive, and if he can stay, he must be equipped with enough assistants.

In the end, Bai Tongtong decided to go to the main city of Soller to take a look. Each main city has several good schools with good reputation and reputation. Buro and the others found it from a certain school in the capital. They have to change schools this year. She can't be turned into an alumni club here.

At the same time, Ah Huang was walking in the church village, scaring the villagers to their knees, chasing it away with torches, throwing stones at it, cursing, screaming, crying and praying one after another, they told the scriptures Wen is regarded as a spell, but in Ah Huang's eyes, it doesn't bother to use these weak humans to practice its claws.

After measuring the land area of ​​the village, Ah Huang went back to report to Bai Tongtong, and then she calculated the monthly rent of the church and the village, wrote it into a note, and sent it to the mayor, who was responsible for supervising and urging the rent to be recovered every month .

Burrow conveyed Bai Tongtong's meaning to his partners. They were also discussing what to do after the internship. Some people were very happy and willing to stay and continue working, while others had to consider the opinions of their families and needed to discuss with their families first.

The priest had already written a letter to his superiors at this time, and it was his job to report to the rector, but he was worried that this would not help, because the lowest clergy could not compete with the king's earl.

The priest who disdained to use the mail of the Magician's Guild could only use the slowest method, and entrusted his letters to the townspeople who went to other places to purchase goods to forward them. He didn't know when he would receive a reply.

After two days of peace, on the morning of Saturday, a guest from Kedikov City came to the guild, saying that he had heard about the new type of steel and hoped to have a talk with President Bai.

After seeking Bai Tongtong's consent, Burrow welcomed the guests into the office.

This guest from Kedi Cove City is a smelting factory owner. He learned from his circle that President Bai used a new type of steel to make tableware, so he rushed over immediately, hoping to Got a chance to cooperate and brought a few samples of steel ingots produced by his workshop.

The two were chatting, when suddenly there was a vibration of sending runestones in the drawer of the desk, Bai Tongtong opened the drawer and saw that it was a note from the mayor of Wismar, the first applicant had already arrived in the town up.

Seeing this, the guest didn't stay for long, left the steel ingot sample and a few necessary documents and got up to leave. Bai Tongtong politely sent the guest downstairs and watched him step into the teleportation array.

This teleportation array had just sent the person back to the Magician's Guild of Corfu City in Ke, and another figure appeared in the other teleportation array. It was her servant who had returned from purchasing raw materials for brewing in Corfe City of Ke.

Bernard came over and asked the other party to take the things directly to the warehouse. Bai Rui just drove the carriage to the town to buy some daily necessities, and she will be back soon.

Bai Tongtong went back upstairs and wrote back to the mayor, asking him to arrange for the applicant to rest for two days, visit the town environment, and think carefully. If she is determined to accept the interview, she will come there on Monday morning.

After lunch at noon, before the lunch break, Abel came to report to Bai Tongtong in a hurry, but Bai Rui never came back.
