Alien landlady

Chapter 45
Ah Huang walked out of the kitchen and sat down in the living room, 【You need me. 】

"I'm just going to the mercenary guild to post a payment message, you stay and protect them." Bai Tongtong sat on a chair and sorted out her shoes.

【If I don't take you there, you have to take a car. God knows what will happen every time you go back and forth.And I'll take you there, finish a series of things, maybe catch up with the dinner cooked by the cook. 】

"What if we all leave and something happens here?"

[Now that the neighbors all know about the poor Galty couple, one is seriously injured, and the other is on the verge of miscarriage due to overstimulation, do you think someone will come to their door to put them to death? 】

"Is there no other way to know if they're safe while we're away?"

[Let me set up a magic trap, I will know if there are outsiders coming in and out, and then I will rush back immediately, right? 】

Bai Tongtong rubbed Ah Huang's head, "Hurry up, we are in a hurry."

Ah Huang immediately ran to the front door, Bai Tongtong opened the door, watched it rush out of the front yard gate, and ran back after a while, [marks were left outside the iron gate and the house gate, we will go from the back garden. 】

The cook and the housekeeper were sitting in the kitchen, and when they saw Bai Tongtong running towards the back door, they both stood up.

Bai Tongtong made a silent gesture, "Shut up, I just want to save some time on the road, and save me some dinner."

The maids nodded in understanding immediately. The housekeeper, Mrs. Wright, was still in charge of the door, and then quickly closed it, not to peek at what she was going to do, even though they were very curious.

The cook quickly found a job for herself and the housekeeper, cooking some delicious liquid food for the recovering wife, and preparing a delicious dinner for Miss Bai.

"You haven't been to the mercenary guild area last time, how did you find a suitable place to show up?"

【Just go there.Get ready, focus, relax your body, this time will be over soon. 】

"Because the distance is short?"

[It's much shorter than coming from Menise City. 】

A magic circle flashed under Ah Huang and Bai Tongtong's feet, and then they disappeared into the garden.

The place where it reappeared made Bai Tongtong a little dazed. She didn't remember that she had been to this corner, but it was indeed a place suitable for earth mages to mysteriously appear and then disappear mysteriously.

【You go by alone, I don't want to show up in this kind of place. 】

"I know, you pay attention to safety." After the science popularization, Bai Tongtong now fully understands what will happen when an ownerless free high-level monster appears in the mercenary guild and is recognized by others.

It was only after walking out of this corner that Bai Tongtong realized that this was a narrow backlit alley formed by a private house very close to the mercenary guild. There were many back doors to the house, and her hiding place was the outdoor drainage ditch shared by the two buildings. , so there is enough space for adults to hide in it, and because of the concealed location and unclear light, it becomes a blind spot and blind spot in sight and thinking, which is difficult to detect.

"Ah Huang, you really know how to find a place."

[I am an expert. 】Ah Huang raised his head proudly.

Bai Tongtong swallowed the smile, walked to the street, and turned to the mercenary guild.

The mercenary guild was full of people all day long, and Bai Tongtong walked in without showing any signs of dew. Female mercenaries were rare, but not rare, and she was neat and tidy, and her leather armor did not show signs of wear and tear after many battles. The people in the guild hall did not pay more attention to her.

She has been pretending to be a female mercenary for a year, and this is the first time Bai Tongtong has entered this place. She first walked around to understand the operation process, how the mercenaries receive tasks, and how the employer releases tasks.

After clarifying the basic common sense, Bai Tongtong chose to ask the guild staff for a fee. The guild is called the natal family of mercenaries, and any needs can be raised, and any questions can be answered and resolved.

But I didn't expect to spend a little money to get the answer, but it said that it was an anonymous mission. The original text of the mission was to summon four or five low-level mercenaries to wait for orders. The mission's release time was very close to the time when Balbo was attacked. Hours.

Low-level mercenaries cannot get high-risk, high-reward tasks, and the commission for this task is very considerable, so they are quickly recruited.Although I don't know who the employer is, the mercenaries who take on the task have to leave records to count their points and calculate their rewards. In order to prevent someone from seeking revenge on the mercenary because of the task, it takes a long time to get the list of participants of the specified task. fee.

Bai Tongtong didn't ask for the list directly, but paid a little more money to post an anonymous mission to find the mercenary who took up the mission yesterday, so that she got the list as an employer.

I have seen a lot of business meetings about spending money for revenge, but when I learned that more than three mercenaries ambush and attacked the personal assistant of an ordinary businessman on the street yesterday evening, causing multiple fractures in his body, his wife who was just pregnant with her first child When she was on the verge of a miscarriage, this vile behavior that crossed the boundaries of the mercenary code of conduct immediately aroused the sense of justice of the guild staff, and arranged a reception room for Bai Tongtong to ask her a good question.

Bai Tongtong had just sat down in the reception room when Ah Huang walked out from behind her chair without anyone noticing, jumped onto her lap and lay down leisurely.

"Oh! I was shocked! Where did you come from?! I didn't notice any fluctuations at all!" Bai Tongtong almost swears.

[If you can easily detect what kind of high-level monster I am. 】

"And now you're bold enough to show up again?"

[I will hide again when someone comes.Candor doesn't require me to be face to face with the other person. 】

"Well, it really doesn't work if you're not here."

[I said it earlier. 】

"How long will this take?"

[Not necessarily, attacking civilians is such a shameful thing, mercenaries will not brag to others, they have to wait for them to get the news, if you are tired, you can take a nap first. 】

"As long as one person comes, it will be fine?"

[As long as that person looks at the employer's face seriously.The wonders of magic are hard to explain with the scientific common sense you're used to. 】

"Yeah, it's really unbelievable that the images in my mind can be materialized in front of magic for others to see. Fortunately, there are not many people with this talent."

【including you. 】Ah Huang rolled his eyes, lay down more comfortably, flicked his tail.

Bai Tongtong chuckled and stroked its fur.

Ah Huang stood up suddenly, jumped directly over the back of Bai Tongtong's chair to the back, and hid under the chair, 【Lucky, only one came. 】

Bai Tongtong cheered up and waited for the truth.

The people outside the door politely knocked on the door three times, and then two people walked in, one was a guild staff member, and the other was a young mercenary in his late teens, at most in his early twenties.

The staff just brought people in and walked out without saying anything.

Bai Tongtong asked the mercenary to sit down with a smile on his face.

Before the opening remarks could be said, Bai Tongtong noticed a slight fluctuation of magic power, and then the mercenary on the opposite side started to talk about stepping into the guild yesterday morning, and kept talking about it until he went to Sailuo Street with a group of people to beat him up in the evening. As a commoner, there were details of how to beat him, and he couldn't stop talking about it. Fortunately, Ah Huang reminded her in time and let her end the other party's narration.

"Thank you for your testimony, it helped me a lot, please go outside to collect your reward."

The mercenary came to his senses, stood up to thank him, and walked out.

"Will he wake up later and realize what he said?"

【No, he is completely awake. He knows what he is talking about. He did it voluntarily without any coercion. The candor technique is such a power that it makes people have the urge to complain. 】Ah Huang got out from under the opposite chair, jumped onto Bai Tongtong's chair, and sat next to her.

"It's such a good magic, I want to learn it too." Bai Tongtong lightly grabbed the top of A Huang's head, and A Huang narrowed his eyes comfortably.

[You are still far away. 】

"The ground escape technique is also quite good."

[It's far from it. 】

"Tch~" Bai Tongtong twitched the corner of his mouth, "Did you get the face of your employer?"

[Got it, the standard dress of a spy, a well-bred gentleman, in a place like the guild, is a good employer with generous spending.But he didn't pay attention to the details of his employer. He could tell that this person would not be very promising. To be a successful mercenary, it is important to always pay attention to details, which can save lives when necessary. 】

"Yes yes yes, I understand. Where are we going to find someone?"

[There will be a way, be patient and wait for the next one to come in. 】Ah Huang patted his tail contentedly, 【This is a rare opportunity, collect more information, maybe it will be useful in the future. 】

"How much useful information can low-level mercenaries have?"

[Their common sense of geography and life experience are useful to you, a fake. 】

"Well, you're right."

[It was originally. 】

This time, one person and one cat waited a little longer, tired of bickering, and Bai Tongtong took a nap before the guild staff finally brought in the second mercenary.

Low-level mercenaries are generally young. This is an industry that gradually upgrades based on age and experience, and it is essentially no different from other industries.

Ah Huang sneaked under the opponent's chair and used magic to stimulate people's desire to talk. This person was a little better than the last one. He was standing in front of the employer when he received the task, and he was about the same height. Therefore, the employer's appearance, accent, and conversation were different. I remember it very clearly.

Bai Tongtong let this person go, and then according to Ah Huang's retelling, he copied his appearance, height, and attire on a piece of paper, went out to tell the guild staff that the mission was over, and then released a new mission to find people. It would take a little time, so he stayed. Bai Tongtong left the mercenary guild after getting the address of Galti's house.

Going back to the alley drain where we came out earlier, Ah Huang was already waiting there. Seeing that there was no one in front and behind, Bai Tongtong hid in, and then Ah Huang activated magic, and one person and one cat came out from the back garden of Galti's house .

Catch up with the dinner cooked by the cook.

Mr. Faseas left a long time ago, and Seiya and Balbo seemed to be in much better condition. I would like to thank the couple for the latest news brought back by Bai Tongtong.

The efficiency of the mercenary guild was not bad. On the third day after the task was assigned, the Galty family received a letter addressed to Bai Tongtong. Inside was a note with an address, a restaurant name, a box number and a person’s name. , the time is tonight.

Bai Tongtong went to the living room to look for Balbo. With the help of the magic potion, he had fully recovered, but due to the serious injury, he still needed a few days to recuperate before he could start working again.

"Is this man named Lu looking for someone to attack me?" Balbo returned the note to Bai Tongtong, and glanced at the window of the living room. Outside the window was his wife who was walking in the garden accompanied by the housekeeper.

"I won't know until I meet him at night. Maybe he's also running errands for others. I'll let you know if I have any news."

"Mr. Faseas has decided to unite a few friends to help, put pressure on the mercenary guild, let them restrain the mercenaries, and give them a severe warning for their cross-border behavior."

"Are you taking the political route? You are experts in this matter. I still have an old opinion. We should act separately. This time, we must completely solve the potential safety hazards."

"Because you will be stronger in the future, right?"

"There's this possibility, so just in case, I have to let my potential enemies know that if I hurt you, I will suffer maximum retaliation." Bai Tongtong pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

Balbo's eyes returned to his wife outside the window, and he looked tenderly at Seya who was talking to the housekeeper, "Tongtong, do what you can, you know magic, although you have always been very humble, but I can see Knowing that you will become a powerful magician in the future, it is our honor to know you, so we cannot become your weakness."

Bai Tongtong patted Balbo on the shoulder in relief, and went back to the bedroom to get ready.

After having evening tea in the afternoon, Lawley called a cab from the street. Bai Tongtong took Ah Huang to Paddy's Restaurant, which was a middle-class consumer place, and only accepted guests by appointment. Then use it to lurk near the box on the second floor.

According to plan one, if Bai Tongtong saw Lu first, he would be kidnapped immediately.If you let him into the restaurant, use plan two, wait until he finishes eating and then rob him.There is no need to drag innocent restaurants and diners into danger to avenge themselves.

As night fell and dinner time came, waves of well-dressed men and women walked into Paddy's restaurant, Bai Tongtong helplessly called Ah Huang in her heart, she could no longer see their faces clearly.

[Take a rest, that guy hasn't come yet, it looks like tonight is a dinner for six people, the hosts are two brothers, to celebrate the younger brother's engagement tomorrow. 】

【Well, I hope they have a good appetite tonight. 】

【Oh, the third guest just walked in, only missing that Lu, really slow.However, good luck, there are no female guests, and when they come out after eating, if we find someone from the crowd, we don't have to worry about vulnerable human women being hurt. 】

【Hey, what I'm saying is that I'm also a human woman, okay? 】

[You have nothing to do with the word fragile. 】

[Thank you for the compliment. 】

【You're welcome. 】Ah Huang's tone sounded lazy.

Bai Tongtong smiled lightly, left the monitoring point, and went to find a place nearby where he could sit down and rest.
