Alien landlady

Chapter 285 The Bishop Falls Ill

Bai Tongtong read all the documents on the archbishop's desk. She was not interested in daily affairs. She was just arranging some funds for the following to prepare for periodic large-scale charitable deeds. It was the ones that Farrell had read and thrown back. There was an interesting letter in the file, a letter from Al-Quds.

The letter clearly requested that the archbishop must destroy the revival of the Kellogg faction. The Ni faction and the Kai faction were deadly rivals. As the traditional allies of magicians in history, the Kai faction would have no way out for the Ni faction once it regained its historical status.In addition to these words, it is to tell the archbishop that the Holy City is sorting out early historical materials to help the Ni faction stabilize its current position, and remind the archbishop that it is better to have more contacts with the Church of Rebjanik. They have rich experience in fighting the magic world. And achieved very good results, the goal of the Nipai is to make people in every inch of the world their believers.

Bai Tongtong laughed in his heart, then sorted out the letters, put all the documents together, restored the table to its original state, and wrote to Farrell, asking him his opinion on the letter from the Holy City.

[Is this evidence that the church interferes with the secular world?It is still the reply from the holy city, and its credibility is like a king's order. 】

[I have copied the original, I will keep an eye on their movements, and if necessary, I will borrow your strength. 】

[The labor fee for Shadowless Cat is very expensive. 】

【You can take all the treasures of the enemy. 】

[You are so generous, so it is settled, if you need me in the future, just ask. 】Bai Tongtong laughed like a mouse that fell into a granary.

After reading the nonsense note, Farrell ignited a cluster of flames between his fingers and burned the paper to ashes. After tidying up the desk, he slowly opened the envelope for ladies with flower petals on it, and read the Personal letters, dillydally preparing to reply.

The archbishop hadn't come back yet, and the two magic pets didn't know where to go. Bai Tongtong rested his legs on the table in boredom, took out a notepad and busy with her territory affairs.

Ah Huang and Harding found the wine cellar, and happily searched for treasures in it. From layer to layer under the rammed earth, they found ancient wine boxes that were forgotten. Each box contained twelve bottles of wine. Look at the size of the bottle. I don't know how many years ago the shape is.

[The wine here is really still drinkable? 】Ah Huang carefully cleaned a box. The seal of the wine bottle was intact, but the color of the wine inside could not be seen clearly.

[Who will drink, not afraid of poisoning himself?Most of them are bought back to look good. 】

【Anyone buy it? 】

[Collectors will buy it, put it in the auction house on the black market, make up a passable story, and no one will ask the source. 】

[Well, how many boxes shall we move away?It is said that it was discovered by digging the foundation for building a house. 】

[Clean out the boxes and wine bottles, and don't leave dirt that will be used as evidence. 】

[long-winded. 】

Ah Huang quickly lifted out all the wine boxes buried in the bottom layer. In order to prevent the upper layer from collapsing due to the hollowness, it used magic to pile up the soil layers to fill up the space.

There is no mark on the outside of the box. The person who put down the wine must have never thought that it would take so long before it was taken out again. Most of the labels on the wine bottles were scattered and turned into mud over the long years. Ah Huang used magic to clean them up. A piece of soil disappeared into nothing, and even if it was still stuck to the bottle, the handwriting had long been blurred and unrecognizable due to the limitation of the backward ink technology in the past.

Ah Huang generously stuffed the pile of boxes that had been cleaned up to Harding, [I will leave the wine selling to you, and we will share the money we earn. 】

[Why do we have to sell it?You won't go to the underground auction by yourself? 】

【We don't know how to sell to make the most money. Of course we have to rely on your profiteers for this kind of thing. 】Ah Huang flattered Harding with his nose.

Harding shook his fur, and was about to fly in comfort. He put all the ancient wine into its collar, and pretended to shake his head, [Really, I know it's troublesome. 】

Ah Huang rubbed against Harding again, restored the wine cellar, and then dragged the big wolf back to the archbishop's bedroom, but the old man hadn't come back yet.

【What treasure did you find? It took you so long? 】Bai Tongtong is stroking the fur of two large beasts.

[Church treasury and wine cellar. 】Ah Huang licked his nose and said excitedly.

Bai Tongtong raised her eyebrows lightly, and raised the tails of her eyes, 【Didn't bring any souvenirs back? 】

[Find some old wine and let its profiteers sell it on the black market, and the money they get will be shared equally. 】

[How old is the wine? 】

[This temple is hundreds of years old, and the location of the wine cellar has not changed, only expanded and deepened. I took it out from the bottom of the wine cellar, and the words on the label have faded to almost nothing. 】

[Tch, what a backward ink technology. 】Bai Tongtong made a nonsensical remark.

[That's good, if you can't find out the source, if you make up a story on the black market, no one will be held accountable. 】

[If a professional wine merchant or wine collector investigates the composition of the wine and compares the historical data, it is still possible to find out. 】

[That's why I left it to the profiteer. Isn't he the best smuggler? We haven't bothered him for so long. We should help him maintain his professional proficiency. 】

【Well, it’s okay, just treat it as the compensation for the church to smear me. 】

[Even if it is found out unfortunately, it is not us who are afraid, but the church. They have to worry all day long, worrying that their treasury will disappear, and they have no evidence to say who did it. 】

[Anyway, it’s right to toss them hard, physically and mentally, toss them over and over again like spreading pancakes and fry them on the fire. 】

[Yes.It's time for our revenge. 】

Harding let out a rough breath, glanced at the door, and then disappeared.

The crow that has been squatting on the decorative shelf is like a taxidermy ornament, completely inconspicuous, and no one will pay special attention to it.

Ah Huang hid behind the sofa, and the archbishop had to walk to the middle of the room to see it.

Bai Tongtong didn't move, she still sat there sternly, but covered it with curtains a little, lest the revered archbishop stand at the door and call for help after being frightened.

The archbishop with all white hair and beard had an aura of calmness. He opened the door and entered the room without noticing the abnormality of the curtains at all. After closing the door, he was about to walk around the sofa and go to the bedroom inside.

Then he saw Ah Huang lying behind the sofa, flicking his tail leisurely.

"Ow~" Ah Huang growled lightly, as if greeting an old acquaintance, but it was shaking its beard and showing its teeth, more like wanting to eat people.

"Ah!" the archbishop cried out in panic, turning around and trying to escape.

"Good evening, my lord bishop." Bai Tongtong threw back the curtains, crossed his legs, and nodded to the archbishop with folded arms.

"You!" The archbishop calmed down quickly, stepped back and pointed at Bai Tongtong, "You are so brave, dare to trespass in the temple! God will punish you!"

"Tch, don't put gold on your face. I don't have a relationship with him as a superior. He has a fart right to control me." Bai Tongtong snorted.

"How dare you disrespect God! I want to tell His Majesty, he will definitely punish you!"

"Do you have any other new words? My lord Bishop?" Bai Tongtong plucked his ears impatiently, "Don't act like a wronged child, can you? My lord bishop?"

"Don't be so arrogant! Trespassing on the temple is a serious crime! Magicians are no exception! No one can protect you anymore!" The archbishop blushed and his neck was thick.

"Okay, don't make your voice louder than your sentence. The elderly should take care of their health. Don't shout like a young man. No matter how loud you are, you won't be able to hear them outside. They will only think that you have fallen asleep normally."

"No!" The archbishop was really nervous this time. He ran to the door in a panic, but he couldn't hold the doorknob, as if an invisible wall blocked his last step.

Ah Huang slowly came out from behind the sofa, flicked his tail and slapped the Archbishop lightly and forcefully, forcing him back to the middle of the room.

As a symbol of status, the archbishop's room is naturally located at a high place in the temple, separated from other people's bedrooms. Even if he stood in front of the window and danced for help, there was no second building of the same height outside the window. thing.

"Archbishop, don't be so nervous, I just came to chat with you, there is no other meaning."

"With your status, you are not qualified to chat with me alone. It's getting late, please go back." Realizing that he had completely lost the chance to call for help, the archbishop showed a disdainful attitude of cooperation.

"Of course I know that I am not qualified to chat alone with the supreme archbishop of a country, but your status is over. When the seat of the next pope becomes vacant, you will be long gone."

"Don't go too far!"

"Is it too much for me to say that? Isn't it too much for you to instruct your bishop and priest to spread rumors about me among the believers to tarnish my reputation? Archbishop? Shall we go to His Majesty for a review? By the way, let you sue me? "

"how dare you!"

"Why don't I dare? I am a magician, not a believer of your Ni sect. Do you believe that I dare to grab your clothes and throw you in front of His Majesty's throne?" The joints snapped.

"You are so bold!"

"Thank you for the compliment, my lord bishop." Bai Tongtong deliberately prevented the archbishop from speaking in full.

"I want to sue you! I'm going to sue you before His Majesty!"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I'm really old and confused, what reason do you have to sue me?"

"You trespassed on the temple!"

"That's right, not only did I break in, I also used magic to deal with you, but His Majesty will definitely ask me why I did this, then I will definitely use magic to get part of the magic evidence from you."

The archbishop's complexion turned pale immediately, and he stepped back hurriedly, covering his chest with his hands.

"Do you know the consequences of going against the magician? Archbishop? The only ones who can fight against the magician are the guardian bishops of the holy city, but they are few in number, only enough to protect the holy city, and they are completely powerless to face the frontal attack of the magician army. Are you saying that those of you who believe in religion are sick in your head, and you just want to provoke the most annoying people. Fortunately, all of us magicians are well-educated and have a good temper, so we don’t care too much about you, otherwise the world would not It’s time for your nuns to gain a foothold.”

"Do you want to start a second religious war?"

"If I want to start a war, do you think I will give you a chance to fight back? I won't even give you time to prepare for the fight. I am a contract partner of the Shadowless Cat, and I have the strongest ability. As a must Human beings living on the land, Archbishop, please remind the Holy City, it is better to be a little bit more measured in doing things, don't provoke me, I am firmly on the side of the magic world and the secular regime, I will keep a close eye on you, As long as you dare to make a change, you will never have another chance."

"You threaten me? How dare you threaten the holy city!"

"Archbishop, I respect you for being older, so I call you an archbishop. You have been struggling with magicians for 1000 years, taking advantage of the scriptures and teachings, and trampling the magic world under your feet. Why, now someone has jumped out to confront you head-on. , you are going to be softened? Since you are just a bully, you should step aside quickly, after Kellogg is sent here, the world can be more peaceful."

"Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it!" The archbishop suddenly shook his body while clutching his chest, and then sat limply on the ground.

"Huh? Myocardial infarction or cerebral hemorrhage? Archbishop, I'm getting old. Take care of your health. Unfortunately, I don't have life-saving medicine with me. How about I call for help?" Bai Tongtong stood up and pushed the chair under his butt. The kick fell to the ground, but the high-grade carpet covered the solid wooden chair, and there was only a dull sound.

"I'm really sorry, Archbishop. It seems that the decoration of the room is not very good, and no one heard the call for help." Bai Tongtong straightened his clothes, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, and when I hear the news tomorrow, I will go back Came to join you in expressing your condolences. Good night, Reverend Archbishop."

Harding, who was invisible, withdrew his magic, appeared, and then removed the wind barrier in the room. The crow flew down from the decorative frame and landed on Ahuang's head. The big cat flicked its tail, and led its partners from The temple disappeared.

Bai Tongtong who left the temple did not go back directly to the guild, but went to the street of the mercenary guild to eat supper, flirting with the mercenaries and flirting with each other.The monsters are hiding in the dark, waiting for Bai Tongtong to have enough fun before going back. The reason for this is to use the mercenaries as time witnesses, otherwise she and Farrell came to the capital so early, and she was alone so late Appearing in the temporary guild in the palace, the receptionist came forward to say hello and a few pleasantries, and needed a reasonable reason to cover up.

In order to make this reason more convincing, Bai Tongtong bought a lot of large skewers of barbecued meat, holding both hands full, and then Harding sent them back to the vicinity of the palace, and then she walked in with a satisfied and happy expression. The temporary guild generously distributed half of the barbecue to the receptionist on the night shift, and then he walked up to the teleportation formation as if he had drunk too much, and went back to his own territory.

As for the other half of the barbecue meat brought back, Bai Tongtong also gave it to his receptionists for supper.

After grooming, Bai Tongtong went to bed and fell asleep. Before falling asleep, Bai Tongtong vaguely remembered that she had forgotten to tell Farrell that the archbishop fell to the ground due to overstimulation. After saying it again, she let herself fall asleep.

After Harding returned home, he did report everything truthfully, especially mentioning the sudden illness of the archbishop. After Farrell listened carefully, he lifted the quilt and climbed into bed to turn off the lights to sleep. He would wait until dawn when the sky fell.
