Alien landlady

Chapter 301
"The land occupied by this manor is equivalent to the area of ​​a village." Farrell briefly introduced.

"It's so majestic." They were just standing on the driveway outside the iron gate of the courtyard overlooking the manor house, and Bai Tongtong was already overwhelmed by the grandeur of the building.

"You can build one if you want."

"No. I'm afraid to live in a big house by myself, so how many servants will I have to find to keep the house clean." Bai Tongtong immediately shook her head in disgust, "It's too expensive, I'll just live in my baron's manor."

"The scale of your baronial manor, in the eyes of the Marquis, is just a holiday cottage."

"It's a waste of land. I would rather build more small houses and attract a large number of people to settle in my territory. About 30 to [-] people should be enough." Bai Tongtong looked around, except for the Marquis' mansion, the surrounding sight At the end, apart from the meadows and woods, there is only the hazy shadow of the village far away.

"Do you know what it means to have 30 or [-] people in a town?" Farrell was surprised.

"Have you never seen a village with a population of tens of thousands?"

"How can there be a village with so many people in this world?"

Bai Tongtong patted Farrell's arm, took him through the iron gate, and entered the courtyard, "There will be more in the future."

"It's hard to imagine how crowded it is, and the arable land is not enough for so many people."

"Who said that in the village, one must only rely on farming to make a living?"

"What do you want to do again?"

"Don't tell you."

"Is it peaceful?"

"Of course! I'm a peace lover, remember that."

"Ouch, I don't know who proposed to annex neighboring countries first." Farrell looked around, and there were only three of them and two beasts in the driveway, and there was no one else behind.

"I didn't start a war, and I didn't instigate believers to fight. How come I'm not a peace lover?" Bai Tongtong rolled up his sleeves for a good debate, which made Xiao who was walking beside him laugh non-stop.

Farrell didn't dare to provoke her, so he quickly kissed the back of her hand to express his apology.

Two carriages drove along the driveway from the direction of the mansion. When they reached the three of them, the coachman tightened the reins, and then two men got off the front carriage, and then the two carriages drove out of the iron gate and went outside.

Bai Tongtong and Xiao Er's eyes widened instantly when they saw clearly that the two men in brand-new military uniforms, who had cleaned themselves up and didn't even have a beard stubble, turned out to be old acquaintances.

"Lovely and charming Countess, I am more than happy to serve you."

"Long time no see! Why are you here at the Marquis' banquet?" Xiao Er couldn't help but ask first.

Bai Tongtong immediately cast a threatening look at Farrell.

Farrell shook his head quickly, "It has nothing to do with me, don't look at me like that."

"You're not surprised at all."

"I just know a little more than you." Farrell smiled obediently.

Of the two old acquaintances who got off the carriage, one had a baby face that didn't show age, and the other was extremely obscene when he smiled. After greeting Xiao Er, they approached Bai Tongtong with smiles on their faces. , kissing the back of her hand politely.

"Baby, bitch, long time no see." Bai Tongtong smiled with a stiff expression, "Seeing you two, I suddenly realized that although I have never seen the eldest son of the Marquis family before, I think I know who he is gone."

"Joining the army is a tradition of the Marquess of Aronson's family, my dear countess, but since everything is kept secret in that team, I really didn't intend to hide it from you." The baby smiled cutely and kindly, the bitch has not changed for so many years Obscene nature.

"I just said that when I first met him, he had the air of a nobleman, and I thought his nickname was very appropriate."

"Well, when we first got the nickname, we also thought it was very appropriate, but we didn't expect him to be the master."

"You didn't know at first?! When did you really know?"

"When he was about to retire from the army, he told us that we might as well go together. Our age is not suitable for continuing to be soldiers, and we can't be promoted to officers. Brothers have been fighting for so many years. It's lucky that everyone has no less, and we will still follow in the future. He's not bad either."

"Yeah, this is also very good. After fighting for so many years, you have suffered countless injuries. If you get older, you will be troubled by injuries. It is indeed not suitable to be soldiers anymore. Retire and take good care of your body. Your rich battlefield experience will help you in the future." Useful."

The baby and the slut looked at each other, and rolled their eyes with a smile, "The captain suddenly left the army and went home to inherit the title, just to prepare for the future? Is there something important?"

Bai Tongtong looked around mysteriously, put his finger on his lips, "It's a state secret, you will know about it later."

"Oh, patience is our greatest strength." The doll and the slut frowned triumphantly, turned around together, and bent their arms left and right.

Bai Tongtong let go of Farrell, walked between the two of them, took them on his arms, and walked in front, talking and laughing.

The two carriages that had turned around outside turned back at this time, Bai Tongtong and the baby slut sat in the front one, Farrell and Xiao Er sat in the back one, and the two magic pets squatted on the roofs of the two carriages.

The two first-class male servants were responsible for welcoming the guests at the entrance of the mansion. Seeing Bai Tongtong's arrival, they immediately sent a message inside and asked her if she wanted to take a rest in the single room upstairs specially prepared for her.

Bai Tongtong followed the maid up the stairs obediently, while Farrell and Shaw went to the back garden to chat with the guests according to the guidance of the servant.

The guest room is an exquisite small room. The back garden is outside the window. You can see a white pergola on the grass. There is a long table under the pergola. There are a lot of food on the table. Many guests have come, men and women. Walking around casually, Bai Tongtong could hear the beautiful laughter of the ladies even standing in the room.

Farrell and Shore, two handsome guys in gorgeous clothes, are surrounded by women, and this scene is really seductive.

Bai Tongtong was lying on the window sill, admiring the exchanges and interactions of the handsome men and beauties. The young boys and girls teased Ah Huang and Wu Wu who were chasing and beating on the grass. Hearing someone knock on the door behind him, after answering, the maid opened the door and came in, followed by the new owner of the mansion.

"Oh, Lord Marquis, good afternoon." Bai Tongtong stood in front of the window without moving, just slightly curtsying and saluting, with a pleasant smile, a hint of teasing and meaningful meaning.

After the maid saluted, she retreated and closed the door. The new generation of young Marquis Aronson, who just completed the succession ceremony yesterday, also smiled, walked slowly towards Bai Tongtong, and kissed her fingers.

"Good afternoon, my dear countess."

The two maintained the aristocratic reserve, with perfect smiles, looked at each other for three seconds, slumped their shoulders together, opened their arms, and hugged each other with a big smile.

"I didn't expect you to be the eldest son of the old Marquis, and Ted's cousin. Your nickname is really appropriate, and you are really a master."

"Oh, please don't call me this nickname anymore, please call me Amos, bitch, they can do whatever they want, don't let them mislead you."

"Fortunately, the slut and the baby haven't had time to mislead me." Bai Tongtong took two steps back, looked at the other person's clothes, remembered some past events, and couldn't stop laughing.

Amos could probably guess what Bai Tongtong was thinking of, and he waved his arms amusedly, leading Bai Tongtong to sit down at the tea table, and poured tea for the two of them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, but seeing your outfits today, and thinking of the most embarrassing appearance I've ever seen you, the contrast is too strong, I can't help it. Hahahaha!"

"Yeah, we have something in your hands."

"Hmm, I have to think about how to blackmail you."

"You can go through fire and water."

"Oh, is it really okay for the Marquis to say such things to the Earl?"

"It's hard to say whether the earl will still be the earl after a few years."

"Well, I usually ignore hints like that coming from other people's mouths."

"It doesn't matter if you ignore it, someone else will think for you." Amos glanced out of the window, Farrell had already got rid of the surrounding ladies and was chatting with a few men, "Listen to the slut and the doll, they Feel the power in your allies."

"So you know that His Majesty didn't just put civilians in the position of chief clerk casually."

"Of course we know that he was a promising dual-department student at the school."

"Believe me, he still maintains a first-class level of magic."

"It's not just the level of magic, is it? Look at his standing posture and walking gait."

"His swordsmanship is also good, but he should learn it after becoming a clerk. But I haven't discussed this topic with him. Anyway, if he gets serious, I can't beat him. The gap between male and female strength can't be helped. "

"There have been rumors about him for a long time. It is said that behind his kind and friendly smile is a sinister and cunning behavior. He does not leave traces and evidence in his actions. He will do anything to achieve his goals. As long as necessary, he doesn't care about threatening nobles and senior officials."

"I totally agree! Early on he was doing everything he could to get close to me."

"Hahahaha, I have long heard that the chief clerk is a special position."

"Being able to sit in this position before the age of 30, and the political opponents still can't get rid of it, there must be special reasons."

"reason?"

"I know, but I shouldn't tell you, it can only be him, or His Majesty."

"Understood, then I don't ask this, but I just officially left the army a week ago and became a Marquis yesterday. Can you tell me something I should know but I don't know?"

Bai Tongtong clapped her hands again and laughed loudly, "It turns out that you are in the same situation as me. You don't know a lot of things you should know."

Amos shrugged. "You know why."

"Of course, of course, I know. So, tell me what you know? Let me see and add something to you."

"I heard from my father that I was allowed to inherit the title in advance because our country wanted to annex Rybjanik. I hope that I will participate in this work from the beginning and maintain continuity, which will be good for me in the future."

"I guess so." Bai Tongtong drank a few sips of tea, thinking about what to say.

Amos filled her teacup, cut a piece of cake and put it on her dessert plate, and ate it himself. He waited for Bai Tongtong to sort out his thoughts. He had several hours to sit here and slow down before the dinner began. chat slowly.

"In such a closed environment, you don't go out without missions. Do you know about the escape of the magicians in Rebjanik last year?"

"No idea at all. How are they doing now?"

"Including their president and old mage, almost half of them are now working as teachers in Mowu Academy, and the remaining half, some of them are missing, and some of them have surrendered to the church."

"Their president and old mage are both in our country? How could the king of Rebjanik let them go abroad?"

"At that time, they were all imprisoned and under house arrest. In order to prevent the president from escaping, they also used the church's forbidden magic device. As long as the magician approached, most of their abilities would be restricted. Only the power of top-level monsters Can ignore restrictions."

"So this great escape is actually a great rescue?"

"Almost. At the beginning, in order to prevent magicians from crossing the river, the border was very tightly blocked, which caused merchants to stay behind. Then we found out about this and secretly snatched many magicians over."

"They should know it's about you."

"I must know, but there is no evidence. Even if they jump and curse, we have already got people, so we don't need to pay attention to them at all." Bai Tongtong smiled triumphantly.

"The loss of a large number of accomplished magicians is not good for them. What is the king of Rebjanik doing now?"

"Busy building a new holy city."

"The site selection is over? Where will it be built?"

"A large wasteland next to Wismar and the primeval forest by the border river."

"I really know how to choose a place. It is close to the border between the two countries."

"It is convenient for logging and quarrying, the land area is also large, and there are a lot of spare land for future expansion. It is a good location."

"That place is bordered by the land of Wisma, and it comes here through the forest. If you really gather a large number of believers, your territory will not have a peaceful day."

"Yeah, I'm depressed."

"Then do you want their holy city to be built?"

"This is the contradiction. They have to wait for them to start construction and consume their treasury, but as long as a small part is built to meet the basic needs of life, a large number of believers will rush to compete for a good place to settle first. Then I'll start to watch out for them going through the forest and preaching in Wismar."

"Then you really need to be prepared. To annex such a large country, we need several years of planning and preparation."

"Familiars will be on guard at the border, watching their every move. Carson III and the church will also pay attention to it, and go there regularly for reconnaissance. They have lost a large number of magicians. Many places are not as tightly guarded as before. There are many loopholes that can be exploited. I can even know in advance whether their major crops will be harvested in that year, and prepare enough money to buy them early, raising their domestic prices."

Amos shrugged his eyebrows, and rubbed his hands together in front of his chest, "Fortunately, both you and Shadowless Cat appeared in our country."

"This is a word I specially use to intimidate someone." Bai Tongtong raised the corner of his eyes triumphantly.
