Alien landlady

Chapter 59
Bai Tongtong went to the street to replenish her belongings, and stopped by the magic pet shop to buy Ah Huang's favorite snacks. Just as she was returning home, she was about to wash her face and change clothes when the housekeeper's wife knocked on the door and said that there was a mineral product recommended by Principal Hart. The businessman brought a rough stone and asked her to see its grade.

Bai Tongtong quickly tidied herself up, and took Ah Huang to the living room to meet people. The two sides introduced themselves. The businessman's surname is Tavel, and he runs a Tavel Mining Firm. He buys other people's raw ore and finds an earth mage for appraisal, and then discusses investment and mining. I have worked with Principal Hart several times.

Tavel took Principal Hart's letter of introduction to prove his identity. After reading it, Bai Tongtong also wanted to know something about the domestic mining business. There were many ore needs in her list, and they were all special ores for the magic world.

The two chatted first, and the other party talked about several large iron ore mining areas currently being mined, and mentioned that his ore came from one of the mining areas.

After chatting and chatting, and finally got down to business, Tavel took out a well-wrapped piece of raw ore to show Bai Tongtong, wanting to ask the exact grade and whether it was worth mining.

The ore is not too heavy, and it can be held with two hands. After weighing the weight, Bai Tongtong didn't borrow Master Jules' experiment bench, but put the ore and wrapping paper on the tea table. Ah Huang jumped on the table and stepped on it. After kicking the rough stone, the stone shattered after a while, and then Bai Tongtong got a definite answer from Ah Huang that the ore vein where the rough stone is located should be rich ore, but the specific grade needs to be carefully calculated through experiments.

Bai Tongtong told Tavel the exact words, and before he had time to ask him if he wanted the exact value, Tavel happily packed up the gravel, left a purse, and left.

Bai Tongtong picked up the money bag, and the amount of money she got made her speechless, she knew it was full of gold coins even without looking.

"Just calculate the grade, and you can get a bag of gold coins? So easy to earn?" Bai Tongtong put the money bag into the ring, cleaned up the gravel and dust on the coffee table with magic, and went upstairs to return to the room.

[Earth-type mages provide resource information and identify resource grades. It is very expensive to hire mages to do things. 】

"Oh, I should advertise in your name, which is dedicated to appraising the grades of various mineral resources. I can also see rare earth mines."

[Just thinking about taking shortcuts is really useless. 】Ah Huang deftly ran upstairs and threw Bai Tongtong a fat ass.

Bai Tongtong walked into the room with a smile, and Ah Huang was lying on the bed with his belly wide open. Bai Tongtong went up to scratch his belly and it didn't respond in the slightest, so he ignored him, packed his bags and prepared medicine.

The next day, after bidding farewell to Master Jules, Ah Huang took Bai Tongtong straight to the Wizards Guild, got Principal Hart's identity ring, and used the teleportation array to the northernmost Scara Fort for free.

Just looking at the name, you can tell that it is a military fortress, and it is the largest fortress on the northern border of the third kingdom of Gulisi. People, goods, soldiers, horses, food and grass are all transferred here, and then transported along the border to the defense areas on both sides, large and small. Fortresses are like pearl necklaces on the frontier, and Skala Castle is the most dazzling one.

The route designed by Bai Tongtong is to go from north to south, first arrive at a city with a teleportation array, use this city as the base point, and sweep the mission site from east to west. Pass the capital.

Outside Skala Castle, on the other side of the Sardinian Barno Canyon, is the border wall of the Second Kingdom of Marche. The canyon area in the middle is the military buffer zone of the two countries. The national border is naturally the winding, deep and narrow vegetation. Lush Grand Canyon.

For the ownership of this canyon, the two countries have fought many times in history. The name Sardin Bano was jointly agreed by the two countries, and swords and swords are still being staged on the negotiating table for the issue of how to order these two words.

However, in this peaceful age, the canyon has become a free trade zone, and both sides agree to only collect taxation for businessmen who leave the country, and intermarriage among people on the border has become commonplace.

People who come to Scara Castle do not fail to take a walk outside, not only for the intoxicating scenery, but also for the inexhaustible animals, plants and mineral resources throughout the year.

After finding a hotel to stay, Bai Tongtong strolled on the street, asking people about the canyon, and when others saw her dressed as a mercenary, they made some teasing and teasing, Ah Huang took the opportunity to use the honesty technique secretly, so those dishonest people wanted to put their All the shady secrets in my heart were confessed.

After spending a whole day searching for information, Bai Tongtong went to bed early that night, checked out of the room early the next morning, took a few days of dry food and drinking water, mixed in with the crowds out of the city, pretended that there were too many people and stepped on his shoes, bent down and never got up again, directly Found near canyons.

It is impossible to get lost before entering the canyon. There are small tents set up by merchants and border residents along the way. Follow the tents and enter the canyon.

It is said to be called a canyon, and it is no problem to drive a tank army in it. The high mountains on both sides block the cold wind, but it is not very cold.

Bai Tongtong memorized the raw materials she needed to find in this canyon, pulled herself together, and stepped into the mountains.

After walking in the mountains for four or five days, I ran out of drinking water, collected more than a hundred perennial herbs on the list of more than ten kinds, put them in large test tubes with roots and soil, poured a few drops of earth magic fresh-keeping potion and sealed it , Ah Huang led Bai Tongtong to escape twice before finding the right direction and returning to Scara Castle.

After entering the city, he went straight to the Wizards Guild, packed and sent these test tubes to Principal Hart, and Bai Tongtong, who was shabby and exhausted, went out to find a hotel to eat and sleep.

After resting hard for two days, and replenishing some necessities at the magic supplies store in the city, Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang stepped into the canyon forest again.

Most of the plants on the list have been collected, and a few have to be taken deep into the forest. There are also ores and animals. The ores can be bought from merchants in the city, and the prey can only be done by yourself. Fortunately, it is not listed on the list. Want living things.

A Huang fully agrees with the teaching methods of the archmages, and will not help Bai Tongtong bully lowly poor animals by cheating, but in order to save her time, A Huang will help her drive the hidden animals to her. Just die, just like she took that senior to hunt for the first time in school.

But this difficulty is much more difficult than that. At least she helped to hang up the four-eared rabbit with tree vines that time, and the animal that was chased by Ah Huang ran amok in front of Bai Tongtong. Be careful not to be seriously injured by the prey.

Bai Tongtong built high walls with ready-made soil in the dense forest, and waited for the silver-backed rhinoceros, a special product in the canyon, to be chased by Ah Huang to rush into the high walls and knock down three or four walls first. After going around several times exhausted, he slammed down under the solid wall, Bai Tongtong got down from the tree where he was hiding, and cleaned the battlefield cleanly with a dagger.

Killing this kind of large prey is such a laborious task, and most of the list is mainly special products. Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang are looking for animals all over the mountains. If they are lucky, they will encounter two species in one day. If they are not lucky, they will not even see a bird in two or three days. .

In this kind of jungle life, Bai Tongtong found the hunting method she was interested in, and erected a high wall array, and Ah Huang drove the target prey over. Smashing on the ground, using the advantages of fast casting to attack intensively.

At the beginning, she couldn't even catch up with the prey's tail. She couldn't judge what the animal would do before it rushed to a high wall. She couldn't calculate the amount of advance, and she watched the prey knocked unconscious many times.

Fortunately, she has a lot of prey to hunt. In addition to the requirements on the list, there is also her and Ah Huang's daily food. After practicing more times, she can always sum up some experience, and her accuracy has been honed little by little. He also used the basic principles of magic such as stone cones, stone stabs, and arrows to develop a derivative magic as his own unique trick.

When Bai Tongtong finally collected a plant she needed in an inaccessible dense forest, her resource collection tasks in this canyon were all over, and she could go back to the city to rest.

The large and small prey to be traded fully filled a space bag, and there were seven or eight more that couldn't fit in. They were just randomly thrown into the ring. Eleven small and medium-sized ones had no place to put them, and she was too lazy to use her brain. She cut down long vines and a few branches, tied a back frame, tied the prey to the back frame and carried it on her body. Ah Huang took her again. It took several times to find the direction, and found the way back to the gate of Scara Castle.

Bai Tongtong herself didn't know how long it had been since the last time she entered the canyon. When she came out from a blind spot, she felt that the air was warmer, and then the people and soldiers looked at her with her mouth wide open.

Although hunting is not strenuous, the life of scrambling in the pathless dense forest and looking for designated resources has made Bai Tongtong's leather armor and the shirt and pants underneath have become dilapidated and incomplete. This almost naked image is enough to make Everyone was amazed, but the large and small prey piled on her back higher than her head couldn't help but make people mutter because these prey made themselves like this, it seems that the level of hunting is not very good.

Bai Tongtong boldly put two gold coins in the hands of the soldiers guarding the city as the entry tax, but when the soldiers wanted to stop her and ask a few words, they were frightened by her staring eyes, and watched her enter the city in a daze.

Taking advantage of the crowds at the gate of the city, Ah Huang dexterously slipped into the city first, and hid in the dark to follow. Bai Tongtong knew it was next to him with a little touch of the ground.

Bai Tongtong was filthy to the point of death, even the drivers who took passengers were unwilling to pick her up, but along the way, some merchants who sold goods chased her to ask if the prey on her were for sale.

The prey had to be traded, and of course none of them could be sold, but luckily, I met a peddler who was willing to use his own cart to send Bai Tongtong to the Magicians Guild.

Seeing Bai Tongtong's appearance, everyone in the guild couldn't dodge in time. Bai Tongtong put down his back frame, took out the space bag containing prey and the cloth bag containing plants from the ring, and mailed them all to Principal Hart of Menise Magic and Martial Arts Academy. Thank you, I will send it again tomorrow when she goes to the street to buy ore.

Bai Tongtong has magical fluctuations that are hard to ignore, she has the principal's identity ring on her hand, and a cat with unique patterns on her feet. Even people who don't know her can guess who she is, so she can get a good reputation in the guild. Not only did she handle the mailing procedures immediately, but also sent someone to book a room in a nearby hotel, and also provided the addresses of clothing stores and leather armor stores.

After completing the formalities in a while, Bai Tongtong went to the hotel to check in. The hot water for bathing was prepared for her in the room. One person and one cat had a good bath, and the wet hair was dried with magic. The broken clothes, leather armor and shoes were thrown away. She has a change of clean clothes on her body, but it is impossible to keep it clean and tidy every day in the dense forest.

While the waiter was cleaning the room, Bai Tongtong went to the street to eat something, brought back a large piece of fresh hind leg meat to Ah Huang, and then she went to bed and fell asleep, and Ah Huang also jumped into bed and slept on her bed after eating. bedside.

When he woke up again, it was already the next day, Bai Tongtong stretched lazily under the quilt, his hungry stomach was complaining, but he was tired and didn't want to get up.

Ah Huang entered through the wall, squatted on the bedside table and licked his mouth, the smell of fresh meat came out of his mouth, it was full.

[Get up quickly, I found the ore merchant.There are also mercenaries on the street looking for your partner to do missions. 】

Bai Tongtong sat up dragging his heavy body that couldn't get enough sleep, rubbed his eyes, brushed his messy hair twice, took out clean clothes from his pocket, put them on, washed and dressed, and went downstairs to eat.

Walking on the street for more than half an hour, I first went to a clothing store and a leather armor store according to the address, bought a few sets of ready-made clothes and new leather armor, and then Ah Huang took her to buy ores for magicians, then turned around and went to the magician Go to the guild, and take a look at the street view. Tomorrow, I will go to the next city, but I haven't walked all over this Scara Castle.

When she was two blocks away from the Magicians Guild, Bai Tongtong was surrounded by a mercenary group of a dozen or twenty people. Yesterday they saw her carrying a bunch of prey. They also had a hunting mission out of the city and wanted to invite her She goes together again.

"Sorry, I'm leaving tomorrow. I can tell you where you can find what animals you want to catch. You'd better sharpen your weapons. Animals in alpine regions have thick skins." Bai Tongtong kindly reminded his colleagues.

"For the sake of my colleagues, don't rush to leave, it will delay you for a day or two at most, and come back after catching two barefoot short-tailed vultures." The head of the group tried hard to persuade.

As soon as Bai Tongtong heard this, she felt that this team was unreliable. She saw what happened to her yesterday, and now she still dares to talk nonsense in front of her.

"Bare-footed short-tailed vulture? After walking in the dense forest for four or five days, you are lucky enough to come across one that comes out for food. Do you know how big this kind of vulture's predation area is? How dare you say that it only delays me for a day or two?" Bai Tongtong said. Produced a sleeping scroll, "I don't have time to play games with you, so get out of the way."

After being told that the scheme had been ruined, and being afraid of the scroll in her hand, she knew that she would suffer a loss if she fell out.

Bai Tongtong rushed to the Magician's Guild and divided several bags of ore into two parts. One part was sent to the school, and the other half bag was sent to Master Jules' home.

After completing these tasks, Bai Tongtong spent the last night in Scara Castle, checked out early the next morning, went to another city on the border via the teleportation array, and caught up with the postal carriage to Hulun Town in time.
