Alien landlady

Chapter 58 Hone the actual combat
Satisfied, she accepted the candlestick, and got all the things she wanted, and all the things that hadn't been put on the stage suddenly lost their attraction to Bai Tongtong. She bickered with Ah Huang and walked towards the entrance hall.

[If you get fatter and grow up a bit, you won't be able to hold you anymore, so let me ride you away from now on. 】

[The body structure of felines cannot ride. 】

[Liar.It's true that cats in my hometown can't ride, I don't believe cats in this world can't ride either.Can't ride, how can the master and magic pet act in sync? 】

[Earth escape technique, idiot. 】

[Earth escape is also used for walking?you are stupid.Taking pets for a walk is one of the ways that the owner can enhance the relationship. 】

[Walk for a walk, why do you have to ride a pet for a walk? 】

[Why can't it be called a walk when riding a pet slowly?Or wartime patrol alert?Riding and walking is not afraid of being discovered by the enemy's earth magic pet. 】

【So you're not stupid. 】

[The principal praised me as a genius student, why are you stupid? If you don't hurt me, your toothache will hurt, right? 】

[You should be grateful for your university education in your hometown. Your knowledge reserve beyond the level of this era has helped you a lot. Otherwise, you would be like a school student, unable to calculate math problems and fail to do experiments. 】

【At the same time, you have to admit that I do have a talent for magic. 】Bai Tongtong is full of complacency, it is rare to have the talent to be complacent in front of Ah Huang.

[Tch~] Ah Huang rolled his eyes in return.

[Hey, speaking of it this way, don't those majoring in meteorology have the potential for wind magic?The water power major is water magic, and the fire magic is corresponding to the energy major? 】Bai Tongtong suddenly had a burst of inspiration.

[According to your logic, the Academy of Agriculture is also an ideal reserve army of soil mages, who can stimulate soil vitality to increase production, and know how to breed, cultivate, fertilize and harvest. 】

[The chemical industry is the alchemist, and the most critical fertilizers to increase production depend on them. 】

【Nonsence!You are still in good spirits!Obviously, magicians are suitable for so many career development directions, but those who engage in these professions do not necessarily have the potential to become magicians.Don't reverse the order. 】

[What, this is clearly a question of which came first, the egg or the chicken. 】Bai Tongtong put Ah Huang down on the ground, its weight would really be too heavy to carry.

Ah Huang shook his hair, avoiding the footsteps of others, followed Bai Tongtong down the steps outside the gate with his tail raised high, and stood on the busy street.

A luxurious carriage with badges was parked on the side of the street, and a gorgeously dressed man was about to get into the carriage, while the attendant next to him looked a little familiar, like the guy who came to make trouble when the land was photographed earlier.

Bai Tongtong sized her up a few more times to attract the other party's attention, and turned her head to face her. The attendant was exactly that attendant, and this noble man turned out to be a proud young man.

Bai Tongtong didn't salute him, but just nodded slightly as a greeting, and then crossed the road to the other side of the street.She believed that when she was busy bidding for other items, this noble gentleman had already found out her name, and it would be wisest to forget about the little unpleasantness and pretend that the two of them had never met before, so that when they met on the farm in the future, they would still be happy. We can invite each other to have a glass of wine and chat about farming seasons and harvests.

When she returned to the principal's house, the table she bought had been delivered and moved to her bedroom. Everyone congratulated her on having her own piece of private land, and Bai Tongtong took out the pair of dazzling candlesticks to hold a celebratory dinner.

That night, in the dining room of the principal’s house, Master Jules, the Black Witch couple and several other old friends were present. Bai Tongtong cooked all the dishes by herself. I made it for everyone to eat, and everyone ate very happily, talking and laughing lively, and everyone gave Bai Tongtong advice on managing the land, which made her want to visit her land before spring plowing, Find a few tenant farmers and prepare a full set of farm tools.

The next day, after breakfast, Bai Tongtong was about to find time to write a letter to Seiya, but the housekeeper came to her with a tray, and there was a letter from her.

The upper right corner of the envelope was printed with a shield badge dedicated to nobles, and only Bai Tongtong's full name was written on it, without the sender's name.

"Please, which family's badge is this?" Bai Tongtong is really illiterate to this, she can only recognize the badges of Balbo, Annie and their families.

"Earl Ancus, Miss Tongtong." The butler replied without hesitation.

"Where did you see it?"

"Look at the award belt, Miss Tongtong." The steward bowed his shoulders slightly, pointing to the badge pattern on the envelope, "The abbreviation of the award belt is the slogan that Ankus led troops to kill the enemy on the battlefield, go forward bravely, after being awarded the title of earl , I used this sentence in the conferment text, the current Earl Ancus has a chair in the elders' house."

"Oh, that's amazing. That's what it is, thanks."

The butler left the room with his bow in his arms, and Bai Tongtong opened the letter to read.

The fancy aristocratic cursive characters made people uncomfortable, and the words and sentences were full of hints and overtones. After stumbled to read the general meaning, I finally knew who was writing the letter and what its purpose was.

It was Julus, the young master of Earl Ancus's family who met yesterday. The family's farmland outside of Cossack City was purchased by themselves. Because Bai Tongtong bought the first plot, Earl Ancus wanted to expand the family. The purpose of the land has not been perfectly achieved. Although I bought two surrounding plots, there is a piece of Bai Tongtong in the middle, which has lost its integrity, and the young master is responsible for managing this field, so I want to lease it to Bai Tongtong for 20 years. , Give her a few percent of the harvest every year as rent.

Bai Tongtong laughed hard when he put down the letter. The reason for the leveling of the granary is that His Majesty deliberately controlled it, and it was not completely divided by noble territories. There are many fertile and good land in the hands of commoner landlords. In addition, the mayors of various cities are civilian officials appointed by His Majesty. Over time, ordinary people became more loyal to the royal family and royal power, and treated the nobles with less awe, and the nobles did not dare to dictate to the common people casually, so the Granary Plain was nicknamed the Royalist Plain.

Without this premise, Bai Tongtong would not have been able to obtain such a good piece of land, and now he would not have received a personal letter from the noble to discuss the lease of the farmland.

【He must have listened to your threat, especially after knowing who you are. He wants to get the land but is afraid that you will find an excuse to make his farmland barren. Renting your farmland is a solution. 】Ah Huang's tone was also full of smiles.

"I have to look at the documents first." Bai Tongtong took out the documents that Ah Huang had brought back for her and laid out a table. The business experience of the big landlord has a lot of reference value.

[You were originally looking for tenant farmers, but now some nobles offered to rent your land, and you also saved the expenses of building houses, buying farm tools, and managing tenant farmers. 】

"Hmm, maybe I should mention in the contract that I have to exchange the grain for the rent to the equivalent livestock rights. Otherwise, when you wake up one night and find that you have grown into the shape of a tiger, where will I give it to you all of a sudden?" You go find something to eat."

Ah Huang stood up suddenly, put his front legs on Bai Tongtong's shoulders, and rubbed her intimately, then sat down and looked into Bai Tongtong's eyes seriously, [If I really grow up so big overnight, this country will never grow up. I can go as far as I want from the farthest distance from south to north and from east to west. It is easy to run back and forth seven or eight times a day, and I can even bring you back some fresh aquatic products.I am the Shadowless Cat, the messenger of the goddess of the earth in mythology. I will replace the goddess to patrol the borders of the land. In the future, I will take you to see a wider world. 】

Bai Tongtong stared at Ah Huang in a daze, and asked dryly after a while, "How long will it take for you to grow so big?"

[It depends on how many fighting chances I have. 】

"So the battlefield is your training ground."

[Warcraft are originally animals on the battlefield, otherwise why would there be a Warcraft economy?It is a good business to capture wild monsters, domesticate and breed them and sell them to others as magic pets.But with your current strength, if you go to a war-torn country, it won't be long before you can't even find your body. 】Ah Huang tilted his head, his omnipotent round eyes made a cute face, 【As a future earth mage, you haven't traveled the whole world yet, are you willing to die? 】

"Not willing." Bai Tongtong replied firmly.

Ah Huang raised his leg and scratched it, walked to a corner of the table and lay down in a duck pose, [With my current body shape, it is not enough to travel around the country easily, you still have plenty of time to study hard. 】

"Many people think that I bought the land for the purpose of settling down." Bai Tongtong dug out the letter under the file and read it again.

[Stop dealing with those stupid human beings, don't bring your IQ down. 】

"You actually praised me for my high IQ, I'm flattered." Bai Tongtong scratched the top of Ah Huang's head lightly.

A Huang rolled his eyes back, [Hurry up and write back, anyway, you don’t understand farmland management, it’s best to have someone else do it for you, say that you are willing to lease the land to Earl Ancus, and then add your words, saying that it is for I can always have enough rations.They won't say no. 】

"It's really useful to use your name." Bai Tongtong hastily sorted out the papers on the table, and spread out the letter paper to think about the words.

【Humph. 】

"Ah, by the way, I've always been curious. When you really become an adult, how powerful will you be in combat? Destroy a country casually?"

【What kind of dream do you want, when I am a cat meat atomic bomb? 】

"Didn't you say that there is such a thing as a forbidden spell?"

[You have also been here for a year and a half, have you heard of any country that has a Forbidden Curse Archmage?This is no longer the power of human beings, but an existence similar to that of God. If such a person really exists, the church will be the first to tolerate it. 】

"The relationship between the Wizards Guild and the Church...?"

【It's not as harmonious as what you see in China. 】Ah Huang licked his nose, 【You really should go abroad to see, don't limit yourself to the vision of this small country. 】

"Where did you know so many things?"

[The palace and the elders' house, their kitchens are pretty good, find a place to bask in the sun when you're full, and listen to the men chatting by the way. 】

"What you say really discourages my enthusiasm." Bai Tongtong held the quill pen carefully to avoid getting any ink on it.

[I think this can better stimulate you to learn actively. 】Ah Huang's ears turned towards the letter paper, 【Hurry up and write, you haven't practiced magic yet. 】

[Yes yes yes, Mr. Huang. 】Bai Tongtong stopped distracting himself, and spent half an hour writing a draft of the reply letter, then went to the garden to practice magic, and finished the day's work with the principal, before sitting down at night to revise the draft and polish it a few times, After copying it, hand it over to the housekeeper the next day.

Two days later, Yulusi sent someone to deliver the contract sample again, and Bai Tongtong's terms were written on it as it was. She only charged [-]% of the grain as rent, but she had the right to exchange it for livestock of equivalent value at any time. Shadow cats can have enough food.

Principal Hart showed her again, polished a few words, added a few words, and then sent the sample back to Urus, and asked him to prepare the original contract if there was no problem.

Another two days later, the original copy was sent to Bai Tongtong. It turned out to be a special paper for magic contracts. It was in duplicate. After writing her name, a magic circle appeared on the contract, one of which disappeared out of thin air and returned to Urus by itself.

Bai Tongtong put the contract into a locked box that he personally bought from the street, and merchants used this box to store money and important documents.

After settling the land matter, Bai Tongtong waited for the rent collection at the end of the year and concentrated on her studies.

At the end of February, Principal Hart returned to Menice City with his family. Before leaving, he gave Bai Tongtong his identity ring. After that, Bai Tongtong took her belongings and moved back to Master Jules' house.

But now the courses no longer focus on theoretical and experimental learning. The principal and Master Jules have plans to kick her out to do some small tasks, go to the mountains, forests and lakes to find some special materials, and she is not allowed to bring Ah Huang, just like in the past. The teachers of the school unanimously forbid the middle-grade students to treat her like a cooperative task.

It's too cheating to take Ah Huang on a low-risk mission.

After intermittently doing a few small tasks for Master Jules, at the end of March, I received a letter from Principal Hart, who had a task for her and allowed her to take Ah Huang.

A list of tasks was attached to the letter, which included the fresh materials needed by the teachers in the school, and also carefully stated the origin of these materials, and reminded her that after getting the items, she could send them directly to the school through the postman of the Magician Guild. She doesn't need to work hard to deliver the goods to the door herself.In fact, among these things, except for hunting, other things are for sale. They are not hard-to-find rare materials. Let her go to hone her actual combat ability.

It took Bai Tongtong a day to make a list of this list, draw a road map, and make a new list to count the luggage and items that need to be carried. There are a lot of fresh plant materials that need to be kept fresh in time, and they have to go to the store again Buy something to make fresh-keeping potion.

Master Jules joined in the fun and gave Bai Tongtong a list. The materials used by the alchemist are even more varied. Bai Tongtong estimated that he would not be able to return until at least a few months after this trip.

For Ah Huang, it was very exciting to finally be able to leave this snail-like king, rolling around on the bed, obediently waiting for Bai Tongtong to get ready to go.

　It’s Monday, new essence is waiting for you, let’s exchange it with book reviews~~~
