Alien landlady

Chapter 60
This small town produces a kind of ore, and the finished product after forging is a kind of salt, one of the basic raw materials in magic experiments. The task on the list is to ask Bai Tongtong to go to a newly discovered vein to see if it is worth mining. , the necessary basic knowledge has been taught to her.

It was already noon when we arrived at Xiulun Town. This town is actually the central town of the mining area, and taverns are blooming everywhere. Bai Tongtong ate first, and then found the mayor to show the ring on his hand. After a while, someone brought a small box on the mine vein. Raw stone samples collected.

There was no need to spend time doing on-site experiments. Ah Huang crushed them all one by one, and then Bai Tongtong told the mayor that although the lowest grade was reached, the mining value was not great, and it might be possible to save money after a hard work.

"If the mayor needs detailed data to explain to others, I can do another experiment and show it to you." Bai Tongtong definitely served her family well.

"Well, let's do the math. I'm just the mayor who manages the town. I don't want to provoke those businessmen. I'll find you a room." The mayor called his assistant, made arrangements, and immediately took Bai Tongtong there.

In the evening, Bai Tongtong personally handed over to the mayor a waxed envelope, which contained her experiment report. She poked a seal on the wax with the handle of a dagger, which looked like a seal but not like a seal, so she was not afraid of being tricked behind her back.After a night's rest, Ah Huang took her back to the city, and went to the next destination from the teleportation array.

After leaving Xiulun Town, I ran back and forth on the northern border for another half a month, and finally completed all the tasks here, and then walked south along the road map, doing a few scattered small tasks for the principal and Jules The mage sent some things separately, skipping the capital, Menice City, and Fort Chamington, and arrived at the autonomous city of Ced's Cove on the southwest border in the early morning of May 5.

The city is the territory of the Koff family. The history of this family's ownership of this land is longer than the history of the founding of the country. Because the owner of the family stood in the right direction and allowed the territory to be retained after the war, some surrounding land was allocated to it.

In Bai Tongtong's view, this is a duchy city without the flag of the dukedom, or called the duchy of the city, not only because of the long history and the title of duke of the lord, but also because the kingdom has no troops here, and the armament and defense of the city are completely up to the lord Take it all.

And since she came to this world, she has been hearing about border tensions and disputes, right here, with the kingdom of Rebjanik on the opposite side, there has never been a real peace.

As soon as he came out of the Magician's Guild, Bai Tongtong went out of the city to see the scenery.

There are plains and forests outside the city of Kedikov, and a boundary river divides the country from outside to inside. The river passes through the forest and continues southward, finally rushing into the sea.The banks of the river are all cultivated land, because it is convenient to fetch water for irrigation, the forest is public, farmers graze in it, and pigs forage for food in the forest.

The wide boundary river has promoted the development of shipbuilding, shipping, and fishing industries. Fishermen's disputes have become the most common conflicts. There are security boats from the two countries on the river, accusing each other of crossing the center of the boundary river and robbing their own fish every day.

Bai Tongtong sat in a carriage and asked the coachman to take him around, saw the rural scenery that was about to harvest in summer and the scenery of fisherman's songs sparkling in the water, returned to the city to find a hotel, changed into a light summer dress, and then went for a walk on the street to inquire about Get information about your mission.

I don't know where I went after wandering around, I feel a little tired, I was looking for something to eat in a restaurant and teahouse, but I saw a group of heavily armed soldiers approaching, pedestrians and carriages on the road pulled over one after another, Bai Tongtong didn't notice it for a while, and was aborted Pushed into an alley, and many people in this alley came out to watch the fun, Bai Tongtong was pinched from front to back and had no way out, finally slipped out to the depths of the alley, and saw a group of collars so big that a light pull could The fallen woman winked at her.

Bai Tongtong was not interested in this, she turned her face to the alley, dodging the men who came out from different doors with the smell of bad wine and spices.

At this moment, Ah Huang suddenly warned, but before Bai Tongtong could react, someone had already wrapped her waist with one hand from behind, and covered her mouth with the other hand and dragged her further into the alley.

Bai Tongtong didn't struggle, not only because Ah Huang didn't attack, but also the pungent bloody smell, heavy breathing, and even high body temperature, all of which indicated that something was wrong.

Ah Huang quietly followed Bai Tongtong's feet and followed her further inside. When passing by those women, they smiled even more ambiguously.

The alley was a dead end, the back wall of another building with no windows.

When they came here, the person holding Bai Tongtong finally let go of her, pinned her back to the wall with her shoulders, his movements seemed rough but thoughtful to protect the back of her head from knocking, and she was flushed red with fever. There was a forced smile on Khan's face, which did not diminish his obscene temperament in the slightest.

"Hey, cat..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Tongtong slammed his fist firmly on the left cheek of the other party, causing him to stagger, and Bai Tongtong took the opportunity to grab his clothes with both hands, and the two of them switched directions around their feet, and he was savagely beaten. It was nailed to the wall, but due to the height difference, Bai Tongtong couldn't stop his head from kissing the wall.

Without taking care of comforting his head, Bai Tongtong stood sideways, put one shoulder against the opponent so as not to slip to the ground, faced the wall at the bottom of the alley, and took out a small test tube of white magic healing potion from the ring. This is her Along the way, I bought tools and materials to prepare for myself. A little injury healed faster.

Biting off the stopper, Bai Tongtong stuffed the test tube into the opponent's hand, held his hand and brought it to his mouth, "Open your mouth and drink it."

The refreshing feeling of the medicine entering the throat made the slut swallow it all hungrily. Bai Tongtong put away the test tube, still stood with his shoulder against him, and quickly removed the bandage on his left arm, revealing the suppurated wound .

The condensed water ball cleaned the surface of the wound, and the dagger was slightly roasted with a small fireball. Bai Tongtong glanced at the bitch, who covered her mouth with her right hand and nodded vigorously.

Gouged out the rotten flesh in the wound, used two potions to clean the wound, and gave the bitch another one. Under the action of four potions, the wound began to heal quickly, and soon turned into a fresh pink color. And the bitch's high fever also went down a bit, at least the breath he breathed was not so hot.

"It wasn't cut by someone else, it was poked by yourself, a self-inflicted wound, you were drugged and had to stay awake in pain to escape? What about the others? Got caught? Mission failed? No backup?" Only worked together last time There is only one team left when we meet again today, Bai Tongtong really wants to know what happened to them.

The slut giggled, but his face had the opposite bitterness, and at the same time, his right hand was dishonestly wrapped around Bai Tongtong's waist.

Seeing that he is injured now, Bai Tongtong rolled his eyes and just slapped his hands off. Ah Huang raised a piece of the ground under his buttocks to form a stone bench, allowing the bitch to sit and talk.

"If you don't want to tell me how old you are and still wet the bed under the candor technique, tell me the whole process quickly." Bai Tongtong took out a water bag and gave him a few sips.

"The spy from the opposite side sneaked into the city. We came to arrest people. I don't know who leaked the news. We fell into the trap set by the other party when we arrived in the city. As you can see, only I escaped "As long as the bitch doesn't laugh, he still looks like a gentleman when he is serious. The hair that was burned off a few months ago has now grown into a short cut and looks fluffy.

"When did this happen?"

"The night before yesterday. I escaped all the way here, and I didn't expect to see you." The bitch grinned, rubbing his head against Bai Tongtong's chest, and was finally slapped by her.

"Where did you step into the trap?"

"Ai Mu Hut. After checking in, eat below. After eating, you can't go back to the room. I hurt the one who grabbed me, cut myself and jumped out of the window to escape."

"Then hide here all the time?"

"It's half a city away, and I can't find it here."

"Search?" Bai Tongtong bent down and half-closed his eyes to look at the slut, "A big shot?"

The bitch just shrugged.

Bai Tongtong stood up straight and thought for a while, then turned around and whistled at the prostitutes, with a gold coin dangling in his hand, three women immediately surrounded him, laughing happily.

"My buddy took good care of me, let him taste the tenderness of the girls, I will pick him up later when I go to do something, and there will be a reward, otherwise I will steal your nest. Do you hear me?"

The tallest of the three took the gold coin from Bai Tongtong's hand, and the other two women helped the bitch up, one on the left and one on the right, "Don't worry, he will be fine when you come back."

Bai Tongtong watched the four of them walk into a small door with a pink signboard, just as the alley had dispersed, so he hurried out and took a taxi to the Aimu hut.

[The bitch is still running a fever, handing him over to three women will kill him. 】

"Isn't this his dream?"

[The one who has this dream should be a handsome man, right? 】

"Really? You know all this?"

[When men get together, what else can they talk about besides drinking. 】Ah Huang yawned, the bitch fled half of the city and hid in this area, on the way back he happened to doze off.

The carriage crossed half of the city, and even took a detour to avoid a crowded big market that was at its business peak, and it took more than half an hour to reach the Aimu hut.

Bai Tongtong didn't go into the hotel, but walked casually on the street, then slowly slipped into the back alley of the hotel, hiding outside the back door of the kitchen.

Since the bitch said that he was almost slaughtered after eating dinner, the kitchen was of course the priority for investigation.

In this back alley outside the back door of the kitchen, except for drunkards who vomit, not even prostitutes come here to solicit business. Looking bored.

Her strange behavior immediately attracted the attention of the cooks and waiters who came out to rest from the back door. Relying on the large number of people and their curiosity, four or five people walked over and surrounded Bai Tongtong, pretending to solicit business for the hotel, but actually strike up a conversation .

Bai Tongtong listened to what they had to say at first, and only showed a little interest when he heard that there was good wine. Then he said that he didn't want to go inside and sit crowded with a group of men, so he asked the waiter to bring a few glasses of wine here. drink outside.

The waiter took the money, and quickly brought the fine wine from the store, but Bai Tongtong had lived with the archmage for so long, and she was used to the good food and drink. In her opinion, the so-called treasure of the store in her hand was actually Not very good, but she still smiled and praised vigorously.

"Hmm! It tastes really good! I haven't had such a good wine for a long time. Where did you buy it?"

"The boss bought it directly from the winery. How many more glasses can I bring you?" The waiters believed that Bai Tongtong was a woman addicted to alcohol, and she was generous and courteous.

"Okay, bring a few more glasses, I invite you to drink together, and stay with me until you get drunk." Bai Tongtong held up the wine glass, like a frustrated woman who wants to get drunk and get drunk.

This time the waiter simply brought out the wine barrel, and the cook also provided side dishes for the wine. A group of people took advantage of the break to eat and drink together. Ah Huang, who had been hiding in the dark, took the opportunity to throw out the candor. The strange thing that happened the night before was like this Confidentially.

"After the dinner time was over the night before yesterday, the guest room upstairs was ping-pong-pong. A group of people went up, carried one by one and came down again, and walked away through the back door. No one knew what happened."

"When I was cleaning the room, I also found that there was fresh blood on the floor of one room, but there were nine people who were carried away, but there were ten people who checked in. One must have escaped."

"Hmph, those mercenaries are fighting against people outside every day, and this time they must have been approached to take revenge."

"They're all mercenaries?" Bai Tongtong asked.

"Well, they are all mercenaries. The whole body is soft after being carried away. It doesn't look like they were knocked out, but they feel like they were knocked out by drugs."

"Then you are not miserable? Didn't one run away? If he thinks clearly, it happened after dinner in your shop. A group of people were carried away by the enemy without even a resistance. If he comes back What can I do if I seek revenge from you?" Bai Tongtong frightened them.

"Oh, it's none of our business!" The cook was really frightened and waved his hands quickly, and the waiters were also very nervous.

"It's hard to say. You also know that the mercenaries are unreasonable when they start talking, but this is good information." Bai Tongtong took out more silver coins and gave one to each of them, "I bought this information, tell me carefully Tell me what happened that day, if the cook didn't do it, who put the medicine in the food? Is there a newcomer in the kitchen? Or someone quit afterwards?"

With the money in hand, I will not be afraid immediately. The cook nodded while putting the money on his body, "There are really newcomers who have been here for a few days and quit after closing that night."

"Wow, that's it. I don't know who did it. This information is worthless."

The cooks became nervous again, "You have already paid, and we won't refund it."

"I know, I know, I didn't ask you to quit, let me tell you more, where did that person come from, what's his name, how tall and what he looks like, don't let my money be thrown away for nothing."

"This newcomer is called Warby. He is young in his 20s and looks very smart. He was brought by the owner of the deli on the other side of the street. Our boss stays in the kitchen to do small work. Hey, it can't be this kid. The problem? That night I asked him to help me keep an eye on the soup pot and the fire, he was the one who served the soup and cut the vegetables, and he didn’t let him touch the rest.”

After the cook said this, the waiter started chattering again, "Will you be keeping the soup pot filled with soup again, isn't it easy to prescribe the medicine? This kid must have done it."

"We have always purchased from this deli, and the relationship between the two has always been very good. The key people should also say hello in advance."

"That is, what should we do if the escaped mercenary really comes back to take revenge?"

"Walk around, go to the boss, this matter will never end with them."

The cook and waiters dropped their leftovers and walked into the back door. Bai Tongtong patted his butt and went to find the delicatessen.
