Alien landlady

Chapter 100
[You seem to have been trying to recommend the benefits here? 】Ah Huang grasped something was wrong.

[Isn't this a friendly suggestion from a blinking wolf? Unfortunately, my master's job is not suitable for living in seclusion, otherwise I would definitely suggest him to buy this place.This is also the ideal habitat for me. ] Harding spoke lies sincerely.

【Humph! 】Ah Huang is too lazy to talk nonsense on this topic,【Didn't you say you want to buy back the goods?How much are you willing to pay? 】

[I originally came to pick up the goods, but since someone caught you, I had no choice but to go back and report this to the owner.Why don't you go away tonight and stay in the town for one night, I'll come to find you in the middle of the night. 】

【Can't you go to Soller to find us?We had a bad time with the local priest as soon as we arrived. 】

【Oh, poor, your partner must be wearing a robe.There has never been a magician here since the first earl. It is said that the earl did not believe in the power of the magician. Since then, this has become a tradition. Without the check and balance of the magician, the church dominates here and rules the world. In charge of birth, old age, sickness and death, eating, drinking, and messing around to mediate family disputes, but these secular affairs are all handled through the mayor, and on the surface it seems that the priest does not directly intervene.Before you come here, you should really investigate the basic customs. 】

Ah Huang howled angrily.

Harding tilted his head a little amused, and he believed that he would find it funny when he went back and told Farrell later.

[Okay, it’s settled like this. You stay in the town for one night. I’ll come to you in the middle of the night. There are too many hotels in Soller, so it’s inconvenient to find you. If I release the breath of a magical beast, it will alarm the magicians and Their magic pets, this movement is too big. 】

[Can't you go back quickly?We'll just wait in town for you to make a deal and then go our separate ways? 】

Harding pretended to think for a while, [Well, that's fine, then I'll go back to my master now, you all restrain yourself, don't conflict with the priest, if you really want to live here. 】

【We have just caught six foreign smugglers, if the mayor and the priest dare to be angry with us, their superiors will have to send new people. 】

Harding half-closed his eyes, and seemed to be smiling appreciatively, [That's right, they are really unlucky, such a big deal fell into your hands. 】

[Come on, you, don't waste time. 】

[Alright, alright, let's go now. 】Harding swept his tail, and immediately disappeared in front of Ah Huang wrapped in the wind travel technique.

Ah Huang grinned and showed four fangs, 【Hmph, bragging rights! 】

Bai Tongtong followed the mayor and the priest to walk around the 300-acre manor. It used to be an important industry for the earl. It has been operated from generation to generation. The planning and design of agricultural production are well done. The irrigation ditches They are all made of bricks, and the water source comes from a large pond where boats can be rowed, and the pond communicates with the tributary of the boundary river in the forest. However, since the last countess died of illness, everything has been abandoned in just a few years, and the unmaintained running water pond has become It became a dead pond, and the water surface was covered with dead aquatic plants.

In addition, the natural environment is very beautiful, with a cool breeze and no irritating heat.

"How long will it take to restore the whole place to its original state? Money is not a problem, but I don't want to miss the autumn sowing." Standing by the pond, Bai Tongtong asked the mayor of Baden. Father Barlow was already so tired that he was beating his legs beside him.

"If you want to grow staple food, it will definitely be too late. After you get it done, you can plant a few acres of short-term vegetables that can be picked in two months. Our climate is warm and humid all year round, and the coldest days are December and January. In two months, we will prepare for spring planting in February."

"Isn't it possible to plant three seasons a year?"

"It can be calculated like this."

"Okay, I've rented here until the end of next year. If I live comfortably, I'll consider renewing the lease."

"No problem, Ms. Bai, I will gather people to clean up the environment for you in the past few days."

"Call more people. Money is not an issue, but the shorter the time, the better. I don't want to waste too much time waiting."

"Don't worry, Miss Bai, the surrounding villagers will be happy to serve you. If there are not enough villagers, there will be townspeople."

"Very good. Let's go, let's go back to the big house to have a look. I live alone. I don't need to clean out all the rooms. I'll see which ones to get first, and the furniture. I don't know if there are any after so many years." get mouldy."

The three of them turned around and walked towards the big house, with Bai Tongtong striding ahead, and the mayor of Baden helping Father Barlow, who had a broken leg, followed behind.

Back outside the main entrance of the big house, Father Barlow went straight to the carriage, Ah Huang jumped off the carriage shaking his oily fur, followed Bai Tongtong's footsteps, and walked into the house together.

[I saw a stupid dog just now. 】

[So Pollock is nearby? 】

[It should be on the other side of the river.Those six smugglers were his subordinates, and Stupid Dog was here to get the goods. 】

【What did you guys talk about? 】

【It wants to buy the goods back and invites us to meet in town. 】

[I don't want to spend the night in town. 】

【That's what I said too, let it come over with the money, and go directly to the town to finish the transaction and go their separate ways. 】

[Then it went back? 】

【Here it goes back, but it said something else. 】

【what? 】

[It says that no magician has been here since the first earl, and the church has always been the dominant family. The priest uses the mayor as a cover to interfere in the secular affairs of the town. 】

At that time, Bai Tongtong had already led the mayor around the first floor of the main house and was heading to the second floor.Those important large rooms have to be cleaned out, not to mention the kitchen, dining room and bathroom, all the cabinets have to be scrubbed clean, and other rooms can be temporarily left untouched.

The master bedroom on the second floor is a suite. In addition to the bedroom, it is also connected to a living room and bathroom. Outside the living room is a semi-circular viewing balcony, facing the border forest.

Bai Tongtong took a fancy to this well-lit living room and wanted to turn it into a laboratory.

Taking advantage of the spare time of rechecking each room one by one, Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang picked up the interrupted conversation just now.

[In other words, the priest is in charge of the town? 】

[Yes, and we got into a fight with the priest as soon as we came, and the stupid dog said that we must have not investigated the customs beforehand. 】

[We were fooled. 】

【what? 】

[Being fooled by that genius senior. 】

【What did he do? 】

【He is the chief clerk under the sun, and at the same time the head of intelligence under the shadows. I believe that he has worked hard to find out the information about this property, but who is wrong to give it to me?There has never been any influence of the Magician Guild here, and he can be regarded as a member of the magic circle. A genius student back then, even if I were killed, I would not believe that he would completely give up magic after becoming a clerk. 】

[It is very likely that he took advantage of this opportunity to bring you here, so that this place, which the Magicians Guild has been unable to get in for so many years, finally has a spokesperson? 】

[I think it's a troublemaker. What kind of spokesperson can I be, a guy who doesn't even have any common sense about the relationship between the two families. 】Bai Tongtong stood outside the door of a room. The door lock had been closed for many years and was rusted to death. She knocked it open with her shoulder a few times. The dust came out along with the musty smell, choking her and the mayor to escape.

[Magicians Guild and Church really only have superficial harmony. 】

[Isn't it. 】

【Ah, the principal also said that he is neutral and trustworthy. It turns out that he still has political tendencies secretly. 】

[How can there be someone who is completely neutral in this world? Neutrality means breaking away from the mainstream circle, not getting into trouble, and at the same time only looking at the benefits of others.Anyone with a little strength will not claim to be neutral, and those who say they are neutral are incapable of grabbing cakes from others.However, most of the magic circles are scholars, and there are still a few people who are involved in national politics. Besides, he is the chief clerk. If he wants to use his position to say that he is neutral, no one else can refute it. 】

【so what to do now?You said just now that you want to rent, do you want to go back on your word? 】

[Repent what?Don't go back on your word!The environment, climate and soil conditions here are very good, and it is really impossible to find such a large piece of farmland that is not judged anywhere else.If I rent land from aristocrats or big landlords, do you dare to say that no one is peeping in the dark while I am working?Or ask questions? 】

[Your reaction must be within the calculations of the genius senior. 】

[For sure, he is a real genius. 】Bai Tongtong felt a chill down his back, and he strengthened his determination not to meet this talented senior.

[Then let's go to the attic and collect the goods.And what about those six smugglers? 】

【I don’t know, why don’t you wait until you see Harding and ask him if he wants it?You can pay him back for free.But the confession must be kept, this is the church's trick, how can it be ignored just because the mayor gave a preferential price?To save them from turning their faces and denying people one day. 】

【Also.Another windfall. 】Ah Huang did not say that Harding rejected the matter of taking back the smugglers first, maybe his master would have a different opinion later.

【Well, the windfall happens to be used to pay the villagers. 】Bai Tongtong, who was not interested in those smuggled goods at first, is now very happy that she has a windfall income.

Bai Tongtong dragged the mayor to the attic, put all the bags all over the floor into an empty space bag, returned to the main entrance with a smile, got out all the six smugglers hiding in the ground, and took them away with mind-peeping techniques inner secrets, and then back into the ground.

The mayor, who had never seen magic before, was dumbfounded, while Father Barlow was so arrogant that he didn't even give him a straight look. The church also had divine arts that were comparable to natural magic. gimmick.

After taking care of the smugglers, it was time to go back to the town, and Bai Tongtong was unwilling to go through this extremely bad journey again. Ah Huang showed his skills again, and the man with the carriage appeared directly from the street outside the town office, and took the The townspeople who were nearby at the time screamed in terror.

Father Barlow walked away with a livid face. He was actually dragged around by magic, which was against the power of his belief. He had to go back and confess to the Lord.

The mayor of Baden was dizzy and still immersed in the discomfort caused by the escape. He left the carriage to others to take care of, and let Bai Tongtong take care of himself in the town. He went home and lay down first, and came back in the afternoon Procedures for leasing an estate.

This gave Bai Tongtong plenty of time to move freely, just in time to wait for Harding.

The townspeople gathered together again in twos and threes, whispering to Bai Tongtong.

Bai Tongtong didn't get angry and didn't talk back. The townspeople just let them watch as much as they wanted. It's not like they haven't been watched like this before. We will be neighbors in the future, and we need to take care of each other a lot.

Thinking of this, Bai Tongtong took a leisurely walk around the town happily, and had lunch at a small restaurant in the town at noon. She liked the vegetable soup made by the chef. It must be because of the local climate, there are many kinds of green leafy vegetables and fresh mushrooms .

After eating, she continued to take a walk on the street to digest food, wandered to the entrance of the town, there was an old tree with lush branches, she sat on the stone bench under the tree, leaned her back against the trunk, and hugged her arms , closed eyes and dozed off in the cool breeze.

At this time, the townspeople were also eating and taking a lunch break at home. There was no one around, but a wolf-like canine came along the street from outside the town.

Ah Huang let out a warning breath, and Bai Tongtong woke up immediately.

Harding, who always had a loyal face that made people forget that it was actually a wolf, stopped at the right time, tilted his head, and jumped into the wild.

Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang immediately chased after them.

Following Harding's deliberate scent, he soon found Pollock in a wild wood.

"We meet again, Miss Bai."

"I really didn't expect to see you here, Pollock." Bai Tongtong greeted angrily with the corners of his mouth curled up. Pollock's superior face with a sense of superiority was really annoying.

"I am very pleasantly surprised to see Miss Bai again in such a far away place."

"Especially when I captured six of your men."

"Well, yes, I don't know how Miss Bai will deal with those six people who are not good at work?"

"They are your subordinates. It is up to the owner to beat the dog. I have been hiding in the ground, so that I can wait for your order to deal with it."

"I sincerely thank Miss Bai for her mercy, can you return them to me?"

"Exposed smuggler, are you still useful?"

"It can be transferred to another line. Experienced and capable subordinates are too rare, and those who can be picked up and used still have to be picked up."

"Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I'll give them back to you, and let your pet and my cat go to fetch people. We're here to make a deal."

"Grateful."

Pollock winked at Harding, Ah Huang purred and was about to jump away, but he couldn't run faster than Harding, and he grabbed his neck and ran away.

Bai Tongtong looked helplessly at the direction where Harding disappeared, it wasn't that she didn't rescue Ah Huang, it was because she was helpless.

The two silently exchanged an interspatial bag, and when they were counting the goods and money, Harding and Ah Huang came back with the captives, and six people fell down in mid-air, crying, if anyone else I must have fainted when I saw this scene.

This was a windfall, and Pollock didn't mind giving Bai Tongtong any amount. As soon as Ah Huang came back, she collected the money, waved her hand as goodbye, and went back to town with Ah Huang.

Pollock put the interspatial bag into the ring on his hand, Harding flicked his tail, Fengxingshu led the captives to a small open space deep in the border forest, Pollock took out six magic scrolls and threw them on the ground The smugglers, the bright white light showed a strange gray color.

This made Pollock's face a little dignified.

After the magic light dissipated, the smugglers were already frightened and lay motionless, their faces pale and sweating profusely.

"You guys are really bold. Knowing that there are weird rumors about that manor among your smugglers, you still dare to use it as a transit point. For the sake of your short life, tell me everything you know, and I will You will not be held accountable for pretending to be smugglers to gather information in Kedikov." Pollock's compassionate tone made the smugglers almost terrified, not just because of the fact that they were called to reveal their real identities.

"Why do you say we are fake?" No one is willing to admit guilt, so after a while of silence, some people still want to fight for themselves.

"It's very simple, because I betrayed you to the female mage just now. Otherwise, why did someone suddenly go to the old manor that no one visited after the death of the last countess? I can only blame you for being unlucky, If you were quicker, you would be fine if you entered the forest earlier. What a pity, what a pity." Pollock twitched the corner of his mouth with a half-smile.

"Who are you?!"

"You are not qualified to know. But I can tell you that the negative rumors about that manor are likely to be true. You have been contaminated with the breath of the dead, and most of your vitality has been lost. Even if I let you go today, you will not survive. A few days. Do you want to say something now and go home to see your loved ones for the last time, or should I just use mind-peeping techniques to take away the confession and throw you to the beast?" Pollock looked at the six dying people in front of him with compassionate eyes and a soft expression. people.

There was another terrible silence, and suddenly, one of the six people laughed loudly, "It turns out that you and that female mage are not in the same group."

"Stupid idiots, since we have all given up the chance to go home and say goodbye, let's say goodbye. By the way, thank you for your kindness, that female mage will not die."

Pollock dropped his spell, followed by another strange "huh", and then he laughed again.

"It turns out that you have already been searched once, so we can't keep you." Pollock put away the six magic balls condensed by the mind-peeping technique, and signaled Harding to take over the rest.

Harding rolled up the captives with wind travel and disappeared on the spot. Pollock leaned against a big tree and waited while taking out a magic ball to extract useful information from it.

This was a very time-consuming job, and Harding's recovery speed was obviously much faster than Pollock's. He had just found the superior boss of the six people when Harding came back.

[You must keep an eye on the cat and its partner these few days. The strong vitality of that woman is the most delicious delicacy for undead creatures. It will definitely hide in the dark to absorb her vitality. 】

[The consequences of using her as a bait are very serious, and you still hide it from Principal Hart, you are really asking for trouble. 】

[You have to admit that this is a good place for farming. As soon as the dead spirits appear, the magicians will come to purify the environment, and she won hundreds of acres of plowed land without much effort.If the guild gets the ownership of this manor, she must be the first user who has made contributions. When she comes back, she will see a new house with a new look and complete functions. These can make up for her hard work in the early stage.The church has been dominant here for too long, and the peaceful life has blinded their eyes. No one has discovered that there are undead creatures hiding here. Don't blame the guild for gaining the upper hand again. 】

[We don't know how powerful this guy is yet, if it is really attracted and shows up, then it may be a fierce battle. 】

[Yes, we have to go back quickly and make some preparations. ] Pollock touched Harding's ears, and one man and one wolf left the place with the wind travel technique.
