Alien landlady

Chapter 82
After handing over the matter of the killer to the principal, Bai Tongtong forgot about it in a very crude manner. After lunch in the restaurant at noon, Ah Huang took her to the guild store in the city, bought a chain to string the runestone pendant on She got it up and hung it around her neck, then went back to school and went to the library to borrow a few books. After that, she was completely immersed in the book to study the knowledge of runestones. I regret not being able to spend New Years with their family, but I wish her a happy study.

After the final exam, the students left school one after another. Bai Tongtong said goodbye to Ai Ni and the others. They packed their luggage and went back to the capital directly with Master Jules. The winter vacation special training began immediately.

At Master Jules’ house, the butler prepared for her the guest room where she lived before. When packing up, she took out the big bag of cured meat that Trim gave her before. what.

The greased paper was torn off in twos and twos, and there were indeed all kinds of bacon and sausages inside, and there was also a space bag, filled with a bed of gold coins.

Bai Tongtong threw the gold coins into the special gold coin bag to free up the space, then divided the cured meat into two parts, took one part and a few bottles of good wine and went downstairs to the cook, and kept the other part for a few days later The principal returned to the capital and sent it to him.

Harding was instructed by his master to stop over Jules Master's house for a while during his daily patrols, to make sure that she was with the cat before he went to patrol other places.

Bai Tongtong only had no classes scheduled on New Year's Eve and the first three days of the new year, and she also received the messenger sent by Earl Ancus, who brought her the rent of the field for two seasons.Seeing the interspatial bag containing wheat grains, Bai Tongtong suddenly remembered that she was a landlord with a hundred acres of arable land.

This year has been so fulfilling that she forgot about it.

I exchanged the space bag with the courier, gave him a bottle of wine, and dragged him to sit in the living room for a long time, chatting about land production and agriculture. Even though it was rented out, I should care about it.

After seeing off the guests, Bai Tongtong turned around to check her land rent. The wheat grains looked pitiful, and the grains were not too full. Although she had never planted land, she still had common sense about how good food crops grow. , after all, she used to be an outdoor worker.

After a rough calculation of the production figures given by the messenger, Bai Tongtong had the most direct concept of the country's grain production for the first time.The granary plain is already the most suitable land for farming, with such a poor yield, it will be replaced by barren land. No wonder the baron has thousands of acres of land, which is not enough to starve to death.

Bai Tongtong was pacing in circles in the bedroom, she had a new idea.

Because of Ah Huang's existence, many people regard her as a threat or obstacle that must be eliminated, but if she can prove that she has better uses, she may be able to turn the situation around and become a situation that is scrambled to win over.

She doesn't know anything about agricultural chemistry, but urea was not included in the category of agricultural chemistry at first. If she can synthesize urea in the laboratory and plant a few ridges for observation experiments in the next semester, she will regain her existing reputation. Pushing it up, the number of people who want her to die should be much less.

Bai Tongtong went back to the writing desk and found a pen and paper to write down the molecular formula of urea and the chemical reaction equation, and carefully put them away in his notepad.

Putting down the quill, thinking that there was nothing to do today, Master Jules went out to socialize, and he didn't have to go to class. Bai Tongtong, who had nothing to do, finally went into the Master Tower to study her phenolic resin.After dealing with the profiteers and the fake silver fox fur, she has been messing around with this for the past few days, only to realize that there are several types of this resin, and she has to find out the type suitable for daily necessities.

When Master Jules came back from a social gathering in the evening, he heard from the housekeeper that Bai Tongtong hadn't come out in the laboratory and didn't even eat dinner. He was curious about what she was doing, so he went to have a look.

Ah Huang was lying outside the laboratory door as the door god. When he saw Master Jules coming up, he gave a soft call as a greeting, and stepped aside for the Master to open the door and enter.

Master Jules opened the door lightly, put his head in first to have a look, only to see Bai Tongtong, who was facing away from him, was dancing, shaking his shoulders and twisting his buttocks, dancing a strange dance that I don't know.

"What is she doing? Is she starving? Or has she inhaled hallucinogenic gas?" Master Jules hesitated, wondering if he should step in, looking cautiously and suspiciously at the entire laboratory, to see if there was something wrong with it. Something is wrong.

Ah Huang squeezed into the laboratory from between the mage's legs, raised his head and sniffed the smell in the air, raised his tail high, ran towards Bai Tongtong at a trot, stood upright, put his front legs on Bai Tongtong's, "NYA!"

Bai Tongtong was celebrating herself excitedly because she had just successfully produced the phenolic resin she needed. Ah Huang's sharp claws brought her back to reality, grinning and rubbing her painful leg. Master Jules with a weird expression.

Bai Tongtong immediately put on a serious expression, raised her head and stood upright, "Good evening, Master Jules, welcome home."

Master Jules walked towards Bai Tongtong slowly, and glanced at the laboratory table behind her, "Is that what you made after months of tossing?"

"I'm not sure. It's just that I got some grades just now, and I'm a little happy for a while." Bai Tongtong didn't dare to talk too much. It's hard to say whether that small piece of crystal can be squeezed out of a pen, but finally, her various attempts have paid off. got the result.

Master Jules raised his eyebrows lightly, and didn't ask for details. It's good to have results. Which of the experiments done by their masters failed hundreds of times before only a few succeeded.

"I heard from the butler that you didn't eat dinner, aren't you hungry?"

Bai Tongtong seemed to have suddenly realized it, touched his stomach, and nodded honestly, "I'm a little hungry."

"Okay, clean up here and go down to eat, the cook is going to sleep." The mage was tired after going out for a day, so he yawned and left first.

Bai Tongtong happily cleaned up the mess and blew out the candles. Ah Huang took her straight along the wall and came out of the kitchen. He warmed up the food and filled his stomach.

The resin for further experiments is available, but how to make this polymer compound into a real object is a troublesome matter. In addition, the high-intensity special training in alchemy is already exhausting, so Bai Tongtong had to put the resin in the On one side, look at the eyes first.

Occasionally, when she had a little respite, she changed to a lighter mental work, and took out the graphite powder again. Ah Huang found clay from different places in the suburbs of the capital for her to experiment with, and bought the remaining accessories on the street, again and again. Trying the best materials and formulas for pencil leads, the result is that she made a lot of experimental pencil leads with different softness and hardness. The diameter is similar to that of wooden pencil leads. Keep the samples, and distribute the rest to the mages you recognize for trial, just give her the trial report.

This kind of refill that can be picked up to write quickly won the favor of mages, and it is convenient for them to write something by hand anytime, anywhere. Bai Tongtong combined with their feedback to determine the appropriate neutral hardness, and use this as a standard. The soft and hard labels are easy to handle.

With the convenience of paper and pencil, Bai Tongtong started thinking about other things. She began to be dissatisfied with the existing paper notebooks. The bound notepads sold in the market were ugly, and she wanted loose-leaf notebooks with refills, but there were no ready-made ones. She designed it herself, including finding the right alloy metal to make the punch for the paper punching machine.

After going around in a circle and reaching the head of smelting, it finally fell into the category of soil system in the traditional sense.

Master Jules doesn't stop her from doing nothing. As long as she doesn't delay her normal studies, she can do whatever she likes in the rest of her private time. Active thinking, full of curiosity and exploration are the excellent qualities of their profession.

In addition to these experiments and research that are not directly related to magic, the study of magic circles has not been left behind. With Bai Tongtong's ability, she can't directly draw magic circles on runestones. Carefully draw a complete and correct magic circle, and then transfer the magic circle to the runestones through the spell of alchemy.

Learning to draw magic circles is a costly process, and the money for talismans and paper is like water. Bai Tongtong doesn't care about this. The real difficulty for her is to master the magic circles of various departments in the shortest time and draw them proficiently. Self-sufficiency, instead of looking at the guild store to buy ready-made ones every day, in fact, there are so many runestones that I need for sale, most of them are custom-made.

And Principal Hart hopes that the magic-breaking runestones that Bai Tongtong wears are advanced versions of ordinary life-saving runestones. The magic-breaking supplies deal with complex environments, so they must be composite magic circles. This is why Bai Tongtong vomits blood every day. The pressure, the combination of different types of magic patterns layered together, dazzled her. Master Jules gave her a previously designed drawing. At the beginning, she couldn't copy the ready-made ones, and the dozens of magic papers were all wasted. up.

But when she got out the pencil lead, the situation was much better. She drew on ordinary paper and practiced how to judge the level of the magic pattern. Like playing with an assembly toy, she split the compound magic circle into individual magic circles. Wipe off with crumbs.

Just like this over and over again, the practice drives the in-depth understanding of the theory, and after the accumulation of quantitative changes to qualitative changes, the occurrence of mistakes will be reduced a little bit, and finally a complete compound magic circle can be drawn on the magic paper with the talisman liquid in one go. The experience of the magic pattern has also risen to the level of the senior grade.

When Bai Tongtong opened the magical door of the compound magic circle, her interest in alchemy suddenly surpassed that of earth magic. As long as different types and functions of magic patterns are placed in the right positions, they can be combined into various magics with wonderful effects. Not to mention directly refining precision alloys, maybe she can also help her make daily necessities with resin.

After passing the level of drawing the magic circle, the next step is to use the transfer spell proficiently. Jules' multi-tasking training with Bai Tongtong at the beginning came in handy at this time. After several hard-working magic circles, Bai Tongtong finally had the experience of transferring, and the success rate also increased.

Seeing that Bai Tongtong's success rate had stabilized, Master Jules gave her several common drawings of magic-breaking arrays and asked her to make them into runestone ornaments. As a result, Bai Tongtong was too greedy and made too many at one go. They were all necklace pendants. It is worn on the chain around the neck, hanging in a row, usually hidden under the collar, at most only a little magic power of the spar is released slightly, she wants to tell herself that no one knows that she is wearing a magic-breaking runestone.

After finishing the most terrible compound magic circle, it is much easier for Bai Tongtong to make single-type runestones by himself. It is easy to stand on the shoulders of giants, and just copy the ready-made ones. Master Jules' notebook is Bai Tongtong's treasure, just for wind-type suffocation. There are five or six different ways to deal with the magic circle for assassination. Bai Tongtong took a fancy to the one named wind shield. It seems that when danger is encountered, the magic circle actively opens a hood full of air to cover the person in order to break the air loss. The situation is a relatively simple compound magic circle.

Bai Tongtong made two runestones in the same way, and asked a wind mage to do the experiment herself. The moment the other party deprived her of air, the runestones exploded, and an air bubble covered her hood. She only felt that for a moment My breath was short of breath and then I was fine.

Master Qing only tried this once and never tried again. The details of Jules' magic circle are exquisitely conceived, and he is willing to use high-quality materials. His defense is much better than similar ones. As long as he wears his runestones, he will be fine, so One try is enough.In addition, he also told Bai Tongtong that the magic of directly depriving breath is a very advanced life-killing technique, which cannot be learned in school. Only by making magic scrolls can people with insufficient skills use it easily. The price of reducing the difficulty of use is the proliferation of such scrolls It is necessary to prepare a few more windshields on your body if you have nothing to do.

After listening to Mage Qing's words, Bai Tongtong felt that if an archmage used this trick on her at that time, it would not be considered a grievance, but if a killer used a magic scroll to easily kill her, it would not be worth it.

After thanking Master Qing, Bai Tongtong went back to Master Jules' house to continue looking through his notes from previous years, looking for some good things for himself, but inadvertently found an extremely complicated mirror magic circle, and asked him about it, Jules himself After thinking about it for a while, I realized that it was something from a long time ago. I used it for myself to be lazy, and I didn't use it anymore when I was not so busy.

Bai Tongtong stared at this mirror image array, it was messy complicated, but it was indeed a thing for laziness. This is a double array divided into male and female arrays. Put a sample in the male array, and put the materials for making that sample in the female array. After activating the magic circle, you only need to wait patiently for a while, and the raw materials in the mother circle will disappear, replaced by a new product that is exactly the same as the sample in the public circle.

Jules has long forgotten why he designed such a mirror array in the first place, and Bai Tongtong didn't care about that. She held the blueprint of the magic array and did not let go, begging Master Jules to transfer it to her pitifully. She also wants spar, which consumes a lot of time.

Jules then spent a few days rechecking the draft, and then generously gave it to Bai Tongtong, since he didn't need to keep it anyway.Bai Tongtong frantically stuffed several other alchemy array drawings into her pockets, enough for her to study and use for a while.

During the two months of winter vacation, Bai Tongtong slowly came to an end in the infinite cycle of happiness, elation, shock, depression, joy again, elation, shock, and depression. In the evaluation that the special training was not in vain, Bai Tongtong finally got a few days of rest, packed her luggage and went back to Principal Hart's house to wait for departure.

On the last Sunday before returning to Menis City, Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang went to the magic market in the Sunday market as usual, and bought some cheap crystals to take to school. The store is always more expensive, and she would rather keep it. Money to buy runes and magic paper.

In the bustling small square, the flow of people and stalls were crowded with each other. Bai Tongtong replenished enough raw materials, followed the familiar route, and walked all the way to the square selling ore not far away. The punch of the paper punching machine She can't buy ready-made ones, so she can only do it herself. Yellow robes are the most popular customers in this market, where merchants and earth mages can benefit from each other.

Ah Huang is showing off his power here, and the merchants love and fear it. It will crush a piece of ore when it steps down. If the grade is not good, Bai Tongtong will not want it. She, and the broken pile of slag next to it has another vertical sign with the words "medium grade", "lower middle grade", "lower grade" and so on, and it is sold according to the quality.

Bai Tongtong didn't spend much money when visiting this market.

After leaving here, Bai Tongtong continued to walk to the chemical market. The chemical market was named by herself. It is a large area connected by several squares and several streets. There are many kinds of materials that can be used in factories and workshops. I am a little patient and carefully search. If you search around, you can also find what she uses. The binder for the pencil lead is the natural gum bought here, but this time she needs more resin raw materials, formaldehyde and coal tar.She can't use the little reserve in the school laboratory every time, what is that enough for?

The crowded flow of people makes people have no time to take care of the world under their feet, so no one notices that there is a canine animal with a shepherd face wandering among the crowd. Even if a stall owner sees it, he still thinks it is a rich family. No matter how cute it is, no one touches it. God knows whether it will bite or not.

Harding walked far behind Bai Tongtong, so far that he was out of her sight, but she was always in his wind, and he could clearly hear every word Bai Tongtong said to the stall owner.

The canine didn't come here to protect her, it was just a backup plan to ensure the soldiers ambushing around for a while in case the operation failed.

What really followed behind Bai Tongtong was a group of four killer squads, but they were found out by Harding from the crowd as early as the day they arrived at the capital. If he is in charge, he will definitely do it in a leak-proof manner, otherwise, how could he beat his colleagues with senior qualifications to sit in this seat at a young age.

Harding raised his chin, very proud of his master.
