Alien landlady

Chapter 67
The town of Slagosse belongs to the city of Volanda, and Bai Tongtong walked out of the Magician's Guild, and then took a postal carriage to the town.

The town is a little far from the main city, and the carriages go all the way to get on and off passengers, and the luggage on board also increases and decreases accordingly. The passengers are all ordinary people.Ah Huang insisted not to endure this torture in the carriage, Bai Tongtong gave the driver some extra money and let him stay in the driver's seat.

When the carriage finally drove into the town of Slagosse, the postal carriage also ended its journey for the day. After everyone got off the carriage at the central square of the town, Bai Tongtong's calf was swollen due to the long-time ride.

The town is neither big nor small, with a population of several thousand. There is only one main street running through the center of the town, and the dense residential areas are full of narrow walking paths.

Bai Tongtong walked back and forth on the main street, picked a hotel to stay, had a simple dinner, asked the waiter for the address, and took Ah Huang to find Tavel.

There are many mining areas in the Wadai hilly area, and there are many foreigners in the towns. The locals have long been accustomed to this. No one questioned Bai Tongtong when she wandered around the residential area.

Once a house catches fire, this kind of place will inevitably lead to a tragedy of burning the company. It is like a maze. The feeling is the most obvious when standing at the fork. Destroyed the arrangement of house numbers.

[How miserable is Tavel, living in such a slum. 】Ah Huang shook his head dizzily, walking around was annoying to death.

[Yeah, I thought the house he borrowed from a friend should be a row house no matter how bad it is. 】Bai Tongtong retreated the same way, she wanted to ask someone for directions, and it would be dark if she wandered any further.

[Looking at the density of these houses, it can be regarded as a townhouse on another level, right? 】

[That can only be regarded as a pigeon cage. 】

They were walking outside when they met a housewife dragging two naughty boys inside, cursing as she walked, accusing the children of being disobedient and only playing and eating instead of going home.

Bai Tongtong hurried forward and asked them if they knew where the Tavel family lived.

"Which Tavel are you looking for?" The woman looked at Bai Tongtong warily, and her two children were interested in Ah Huang.

"Could there be several Tavel?" Bai Tongtong frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, she quickly took out Tavel's letter, "Uh, they live at No. 127."

"Why are you looking for that family? Who are you?"

"Why is this lady so concerned about this? Are you Mrs. Tavier?"

"Yes, we are Tavel who lives in No. 127." Unexpectedly, the youngest son next to the woman interrupted suddenly.

Snapped!With a sound, the woman slapped her youngest son directly, and growled, "I want you to talk more!"

The little boy burst into tears immediately, the elder son shrugged his shoulders and didn't dare to coax his younger brother.

Bai Tongtong looked at the mother and child three times with a little embarrassment, took out half a pack of snacks and stuffed them for the older child, and asked him to take his younger brother home and tell their father that Principal Hart had sent someone.

The children ran away hand in hand, and the woman stared at Bai Tongtong with a complicated expression, her tone was still bad, "Who identified the ore?"

Bai Tongtong pointed to herself, "It's me, Mrs. Tavel."

"Why didn't you find out that the ore was fake?! You caused us to go bankrupt!!" The woman jumped up hysterically and wanted to hit Bai Tongtong.

Bai Tongtong quickly dodged away, Ah Huang rushed forward and bumped into Mrs. Tavel to distract her attention, Bai Tongtong took the opportunity to throw a consolation technique to calm the woman down.

There were many figures walking around in front of the windows of the surrounding houses, and the neighbors all ran over to watch the excitement.

"Mrs. Tarvel, this is not a place for conversation, let's go home and talk about it?"

"I don't have a home! My home is gone! This is not my home!" Mrs. Tavel sat on the ground regardless of her image, slapped the ground with one hand, and wiped her tears with the other hand. It was really hard to see her like this Imagine that she used to be a decent housewife from a rich family.

[The blow from bankruptcy is terrible. 】Ah Huang returned to Bai Tongtong's feet silently, and exchanged a sympathetic look with her.

[The liars must be caught. 】Bai Tongtong stood under the safe wall, with mixed feelings in his heart, 【Did you hear what she just said?Their family went bankrupt and blamed me for not discovering that there was a problem with the ore? 】

【Ok.So this is a battle of honor for the principal and you, you can only win, you can't lose. 】

When Mrs. Tawil was crying hoarsely under the watchful eyes of the neighbors, Mr. Tawil finally arrived. The two parties greeted each other in a hurry. The man helped his wife and dragged him home.

Neighbors with good things along the way watched from the balcony behind the window, and they were relieved until they entered the house and closed the door.

"I'm sorry, Miss Bai, the environment here is like this." Tavel put his wife on the bench by the dining table, and asked the children to pour a glass of water for the mother and guests who were still sobbing.

"It's okay, I understand your situation now."

Bai Tongtong took a few steps to look at this snail house. The first floor is a comprehensive space of living room, dining room and kitchen. At a glance, there is a small backyard that is only big enough to dry clothes. It is also an important source of outdoor light. There is only one window in the living room. , the stove and kitchen utensils are placed, and when the housewife cooks here, it will block a lot of light.The stairs leading to the second floor are next to the back door. It can be seen that the design is also designed to save space. The steep stairs may roll down if you don't pay attention.

And Tavel, who was serving dinner for the children in front of the stove, looked much thinner than a few months ago, his face was full of exhaustion and mental stress, and his clothes were dusty old goods. It could be seen that he was barely maintaining a Consider a decent image.

Bai Tongtong glanced at the children's plates, a bit of soup and a small piece of bread, this is the family's dinner.

"Tavier, have you found a new job recently?" Bai Tongtong sat down on the bench next to the children to talk to the man opposite.

"Well, a few stores asked me to help sort out the books, which is barely enough to eat for a month." Tavel gave himself and his wife another dinner, but Mrs. Tavel refused to eat.

"It's good if it can be maintained." Bai Tongtong nodded, "This matter needs a period of preliminary investigation, and the results will not be so fast. Have you sorted out all the evidence you have collected?"

"I've sorted it out as much as I can, and it's all in the bedroom. Can you tell me where the ore came from?"

"We spent a week doing rock analysis experiments, but we didn't find any crystal sand unique to the Wadai Hills area. We can be sure that no matter where it comes from, it is not a local mineral." Bai Tongtong took out a copy of the experiment report and gave it to Tavel.

"So, is this really a hoax?"

"Yes, it's obvious. The question now is, I don't know how long those people have been doing this, how many people have been deceived and bankrupt, and whether they are still in this hilly area."

"Well, I know, all the papers I took with me when I moved are in the bedroom, and I've been sorting them out since I got the letter."

"Okay, I'll take all those documents away, I hope it won't cause you any inconvenience."

"No, no, I wish for it. It would be even better if it comes in handy."

Tavel ate his dinner quickly, and took Bai Tongtong upstairs to the bedroom.

The steep stairs are indeed difficult to walk, and there is also a narrow corridor above. There are only basic simple furniture in the room. The old documents that Tavel has not thrown away have been packed in two large boxes and placed next to the closet, which greatly occupies the space. There is not much space in the bedroom. There is a stack of organized items in front of the desk, and a box of items waiting to be sorted under the desk.

Bai Tongtong took out the rope, and together with Tavel, tied up the stacks of documents and put them into an empty space bag. At the same time, she gave him a few bags of old food to fill up the two boxes.

This old grain is the grain from Dogor Manor. The things she scavenged have not been cleaned up so far, and she is still worrying about what to do. If she hadn't had enough space bags, the storage space of the ring would have burst.

A big man in Tavel saw that this was enough food to support his family for several months, with tears in his eyes, he knelt down on one knee and kissed the back of Bai Tongtong's hand in gratitude, and vowed that if he could get through this hurdle, only Master Hart would He must be there when needed.

"This is related to Master Hart's reputation. I don't want to hear someone say that it was because we didn't do rock analysis and found out that the ore didn't come from the Wadai Hills in advance, which led to someone being deceived and going bankrupt. So this I will do my best to solve this matter, and I cannot let Master Hart's reputation be ruined by gossip."

"I'm really sorry. My wife has been hit hard by bankruptcy. She has been unable to accept this fact. Please forgive her for her unscrupulous words. She will not be like this in a while." Tavel explained hastily.

Bai Tongtong waved her hand graciously. She didn't care about this, but it showed that the problem was very serious. It was not convenient for Principal Hart to come forward in person, so she would come to settle the matter.

"To handle this case, you have to do me a favor, cut the skin with your finger, and give my cat a few drops of blood."

"Huh?" Tavel was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up, "As long as I find those bastards, I can do whatever you want!"

The two went back downstairs, Tavel stretched out his left hand to Ah Huang, Ah Huang's sharp claws scratched it, the pads of four fingers were bleeding, Bai Tongtong opened his mouth, and chanted a healing spell, and in the blink of an eye The wound healed perfectly.

Mrs. Tavel and the children were stunned, while Bai Tongtong waved goodbye to them with a smile on her face. Tavel sent her out respectfully. Under the curious prying eyes of the neighbors, he fled away.

Tavel ignored the surprised gasps and screams of the neighbors around him, and closed the door calmly.

Ah Huang came out from the central square of the town with Bai Tongtong, and blended into the crowd of people enjoying the shade in the open air towards the hotel as if nothing had happened.This is the place where all kinds of long-distance carriages get on and off passengers and goods. There is a large flow of people. There are many pubs, restaurants and even brothels nearby. The business is very good from morning to night.

When she walked across the square and continued to the other side of the main street, a group of drunk mercenaries came out of a tavern on the side of the square. With dark circles and tattered leather armor on his body, he hiccupped and rubbed his stomach. When he looked around happily with the light behind him, he seemed to vaguely see the thick tail of a feline animal swaying arrogantly.

Immediately, the man jumped backward intuitively, bumping into the body of his companion behind him, causing everyone to complain.

"What are you doing, boss, are you drinking too much?"

"No, I seem to have seen someone just now."

"Who is it?" The mercenaries stood on the street and looked around, but in the night, with only a little light from the entrances of the taverns, the street farther away could not be seen clearly, how could anyone be seen no one.

"Boss, you really drank too much."

"No! I really saw the cat's tail, that chick is here!" the man at the head of the bird's nest insisted.

"Which chick?" The companions were puzzled, and then suddenly realized at the same time, "Oh! That chick!"

All the mercenaries looked at the direction where their captain was looking at before. Of course, Bai Tongtong was no longer there at this time, and then sneaked back to the hotel where they stayed, and closed the door to discuss and discuss.

"What is that chick doing here? There are no minerals she can use." This is the unanimous question of everyone.

"There are no minerals, but there are people. Don't sleep tonight. Go to our target and guard it. Don't let her touch it in the middle of the night and kill him." The captain of Jiwotou scratched his hair, and his hairstyle became more messy.

"It's not necessarily for our goal, is it?"

"Scared! Who knows why she came here suddenly."

"What if nothing happens tonight?"

"Then meet her on the street tomorrow and ask her why."

"For what reason?"

"Let's just say that we just came here with the car, handed over the mission, and asked her if she has any work for us. It's not easy to get close to each other? You're so stupid."

"Don't be funny, if she really wants to hire us, then do we still have that goal?"

"Well, that's right! So what should we do?!"

"What should we do? If she really hires us, we'll say we still have a private job, and we'll go and solve the target, and then we'll set off with her." The captain stroked his hair again, "It's said above, whoever brings Huge rewards for the first-hand information on the chick. You don’t want it anymore?”

"I want to think about it, of course I want to." Who would have trouble with money? All the mercenaries nodded frantically.

"Okay, that's it. Let's send someone to watch our target and see what's going on with him. I'll find a chance to meet that chick tomorrow." The captain made a final decision, and his subordinates got up and left one after another.

At the same time, in the hotel room where Bai Tongtong stayed, she had just finished washing up. The small table in the room was dragged to the side of the bed, and there was the stack of documents that Tavel had sorted out. She sat on the bed and read carefully one by one. Huang was greedy for the cool breeze, sleeping soundly on the bedside table under the window with his belly open.
