Alien landlady

Chapter 69 The Mysterious Boss
Bai Tongtong strolled back and forth on the street, feeling the temperature was getting hotter, retreated to the hotel, ordered a large jug of freshly squeezed juice, squatted in the room and continued to study those documents.

Ah Huang jumped out of the window to inspect the environment outside, and by the way, monitored what Mardo's tequila mercenary group was doing, and took a serious look at how such a team cooperated with each other to complete the task.

Of course, Mardo and the others didn't know that their every move fell into the cat's eyes. According to the well-designed plan, several people hid in the dark, waited for the target to go out, and then sneaked into the room to clean up the scene. The companion secretly made the target unconscious and took them to a meeting point in the wild, where Ah Huang accidentally saw a female wind magician without any level marks on the robe. With a sway of the staff and a gust of wind, he disappeared with the captives up.

Ah Huang didn't stay long, and immediately fled back to the hotel to report the matter to Bai Tongtong.

【what? !The behind-the-scenes boss is too powerful!How many secret front teams are there in this country? 】

[Before we know the details, we'd better stay away from him, and don't provoke them next time after completing this mission. With your current level, you can't afford to provoke such a big shot. 】

[Yeah, one day they have a whim, but it's easy to mess with me. 】

[Hurry up and read the documents, no matter whether they give a reply today, we will leave early tomorrow morning, and quickly solve the case and go back to the capital. These things should not be left to you, a rookie, to do now. 】

[Isn't this because Tavel's incident involves our reputation? The fact that Mrs. Tavel said those words yesterday means that there are indeed a group of people who have such thoughts. Otherwise, if there are other outsiders, I would have pretended to be deaf and dumb. up. 】

[In the future, you can clearly mark the price. How much is it for me to step on it, how much is it for the grade test, and how much is the source of the ore. 】Ah Huang snorted angrily, quite upset.

[Good suggestion, I want to write it down. 】Bai Tongtong really took out a pen and paper and wrote it down, still muttering in his heart, 【When my life is stable, I need to get some convenient stationery for use, this pen and ink will be so troublesome. 】

[Actually, with what you have learned now, you can already analyze the ink composition of your fountain pen. 】Ah Huang suggested with a slightly cautious tone, tilting his head.

Bai Tongtong was taken aback for a moment, all she thought about was the fountain pen, she didn't think about anything else at all, Ah Huang's words reminded her of her geological bag that had been sealed for two years and hadn't been opened.

By accident, Bai Tongtong put down the pen and paper in his hand, and took out a space bag from the ring, with the mark "1" clearly marked on it.

Opening this interspatial bag, there are only a few things inside, one is a cleaned geology bag, several cloth bags containing previous clothes, and finally another interspatial bag with "2" written on it.

Bai Tongtong put the geological bag on the bed, opened the main bag and took out the pen case, which contained fountain pens, pencils and replacement refills, and the ink bottle that matched the pen was in the camp luggage. She couldn't help but fell into the memories of the day of the accident.

Seeing Bai Tongtong staring at these things in a daze, Ah Huang squeezed into her arms, stood up and rubbed her face, 【With me by your side, life will be better. 】

Bai Tongtong twitched the corner of her mouth, and smiled a little forcedly, 【How good is it? 】

【You are the landlord of this world, and wherever you have land is your territory. 】

[So awesome? 】

[Of course, I am the Shadowless Cat. 】

[Speaking as if you are the only shadowless cat in the world, bred by the aura of heaven and earth, without natural mating between male and female. 】

[Theoretically, the land that the shadowless cat walks is its territory, if we can meet the second cat, we don't mind sharing the overlapping parts. 】

[If you encounter the same male, you will fight, right? 】

[Don’t appear on overlapping sites at the same time, of course, if you meet a female, the site is absolutely one plus one is greater than two, because you have to prepare some activity sites for the offspring until the cubs go outside to live independently. 】

【Well~~ So, you actually came here from abroad?How long have you lived in the forest at school honestly? 】

【It’s been a while since I’ve lived. Those monsters are idiots. If they can’t get through the defense line, they won’t charge. They don’t know that they can easily enter the campus by leaving the forest and making a big circle from the outside. 】

Bai Tongtong's head was full of black lines, 【Warcraft will be killed by people if they appear outside the forest. 】

[But that's how I entered the campus. No one noticed me at all. If it wasn't for that stupid maid, I would still be able to continue eating and drinking. 】

【You miss the days when you were a pet! 】

[Of course, it’s my real life experience. There’s nothing wrong with being nostalgic, but life is pretty good now, with eating, drinking, fighting, and free travel around the world. 】Ah Huang rubbed against Bai Tongtong vigorously, licking her face with her barbed tongue, leaving a face full of saliva.

Bai Tongtong was amused for a moment, she threw down the pencil case, and lightly scratched Ah Huang's neck with her finger, [Free travel around the world?Sounds like a great perk? 】

【of course?You know how many people envy and envy you. 】Ah Huang stood up again and rubbed noses with Bai Tongtong.

A Huang's behavior made Bai Tongtong's whole heart soften, and the discomfort and unhappiness in her heart were swept away by the gentleness of the cat. She held A Huang in her arms, stroked its hair, and calmed down her emotions .

Ah Huang leaned against Bai Tongtong quietly, with his chin resting on her arm, his eyes narrowed, and he seemed to be enjoying himself comfortably.

Bai Tongtong sneezed twice suddenly, rubbed his nose, and scratched the top of Ah Huang's head, 【I feel a little hot. 】

Ah Huang raised his head and rolled his eyes, 【Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. 】

Bai Tongtong giggled, and kissed it, 【You get into my bed in winter, and leave after sleeping, I didn't say anything. 】

【Humph! 】Ah Huang slapped Bai Tongtong's mouth with his paw, 【Stop talking nonsense and read your documents. 】

Bai Tongtong let go of the cat, grabbed the pencil case on the side and put it back into the geology backpack, tidied up the things and threw them back into the ring, [I don’t know how to analyze water pen ink before I have a personal laboratory, and I process pen nibs again. No, pencils are the fastest. While we are here, how about looking for graphite? 】

[Isn’t this hill a metal mining area? 】

[Using graphite strips to mark goods is a common method for merchants, oops, why didn't I think of this earlier. 】Bai Tongtong was very annoyed, 【The merchants in Fort Chamington had such a good relationship with me, if I asked casually at that time, I would definitely be able to get several packs. 】

[Yeah, I don’t know what you were thinking at that time, while scolding that the quill pen was not easy to use, while repeatedly letting go of various opportunities. 】Ah Huang cast another big white eye.

【I will not do it again.In the future, I will give full play to my professional expertise and let everyone see the power of technological inventions. 】Bai Tongtong clenched his fists to cheer himself up.

【Start with you taking care of Tavel, build up your reputation bit by bit, build your own power, and ask those who want to assassinate you to weigh the price before they do it. 】

[Okay, let's see who is better. 】Bai Tongtong was so ambitious, he grabbed the documents at hand and continued to study.

Ah Huang jumped onto the window sill and climbed the wall to see what Maldo and the others were doing now.

It took a while for the members of the Tequila Mercenary Group to walk back from the field. Ah Huang took a nap under the bed in Mardo's room before hearing their footsteps.

Mardo went into the room alone, sat on the bed, took out the interspatial bag, took out the runestone, opened the teleportation array with blood, and then put it next to the pillow, and he went in and out to wash his face and clean up. At that moment, the runestone teleportation array on the bed reacted and lit up, a money bag floated on the teleportation array, Mardo took off the money bag, the teleportation array light disappeared, and the runestone turned into a stone again.

Maldo took out a note from his purse, read the letter, went out to call his subordinates, and ordered to deliver the letter to Qiuyue House.

While Mardo was talking outside, Ah Huang got out from under the bed, stared at the runestone on the bed for a while, and finally gave up the idea of ​​taking it away, and fled back to the hotel through the outer wall.

Bai Tongtong was still sitting on the bed and flipping through the documents, finding out more names and copying them down on the paper. Ah Huang even surprised her when she jumped onto the bed.

[Come back so soon? 】

【Maldo's boss agrees, and someone will send you money right away. 】

【Well, it's very efficient. 】

[The runestone teleportation array they use is more advanced than that of Rizzoli. Although it is opened with blood, it will close by itself after the teleportation is successful. 】

[Isn't there always a wound on the hand that can't heal? 】Bai Tongtong suddenly felt that this runestone is not too convenient to use.

[This is for warriors who don't know magic. 】

【Oh.That is to say, their boss is a very rich and powerful person?There shouldn't be many people in the whole country with this strength, right? 】

[It's hard to say about the invisible rich. 】

[Fuck! ] Bai Tongtong frowned, 【Should I regret it? 】

[Forget it this time, don't provoke them next time. 】

[Forget it, go back after finishing this matter and study hard in seclusion. 】

Bai Tongtong got out of bed, soaked a water polo, washed her face, and was packing papers in front of the bed with her butt pouted. The people sent by Mardo also arrived and gave her a purse full of gold coins. The two made an appointment tomorrow At the time of departure, the other party went back.

Holding the purse, Bai Tongtong dumped the gold coins on the bed, seeing the little golden things clanking and rolling all over the bed, both Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang looked surprised.

【This boss is so generous! 】

[It turns out that my whereabouts can be sold for such a high price! 】

Early the next morning, Bai Tongtong checked out of the room and met up with the members of the Tequila Mercenary Group in the town square. Next, they went to Halden, the city where Tavel used to live and work.

When I came to this town of Slagosse, I took a postal carriage from the city of Volanda. When I went back, I didn’t have to endure the long-distance hardship. Ah Huang led everyone to the gate of the city of Volanda in one breath. After a leisurely walk into the city, they took a rented carriage to the Wizards Guild and teleported to Halden.

They came to the street where the former Tavel Mining Company was located, first found a hotel to check in, and then went to the former address of the firm, which was a single storefront, but now the sign has become a small restaurant, and this area is full of restaurants. Businessman, restaurant business looks good.

Bai Tongtong invited the mercenaries to have something to eat in this shop, and handed them the list compiled yesterday. They were all the people she tried to find out who had business dealings with Tavel. Today's task is to chat with these people, Get close, ask about Cady Burke and Ike Bacon, and she herself meets the middleman, Bacon, to see what he knows.

The mercenaries took the list and quickly dispersed to the street. Bai Tongtong asked passers-by all the way, and found Beigen's agency. The clerk told her that the boss is not here now, and went to discuss business with others.

It doesn't matter if you're not around, Ah Huang threw a candor spell at the clerk, and Bai Tongtong asked about Cady Burke and Tavel, the clerk told him everything he knew.

Cities with prosperous commercial and economic activities all have one thing in common. There are many outsiders. The clerk said that Cady Burke was a stranger who came to the door. He claimed to be a businessman who specialized in selling ore samples and vein information, and wanted Bergen to introduce buyers.

This kind of business happens all the time here, and it is very common. When a prospector finds a good ore resource, he sells it to a powerful big miner for mining. As a middleman, he is only responsible for matchmaking. It is the buyer's job to get together with the buyer and verify the authenticity of the ore and veins.

So the clerk feels regret and sympathy for Tavel's overnight bankruptcy, nothing more.

"Aside from selling a piece of ore to Tavel, did that person find anyone else? Or did he just disappear after doing this business? Is this normal for a prospector?"

The clerk said without hesitation: "It is indeed a bit strange to say this. The ore samples produced by the prospector should be a pile and not the only one. We all questioned it at the time, but Cady Burke said it was his It is specially selected, one piece is enough to prove the quality of the vein, and there is no need to bring so many heavy stones."

"You think it makes sense for him to say this, so you didn't pursue it?"

"Yes, after that, Mr. Tavel bought the ore according to the market price. He asked a magician to check the grade of the ore and confirmed that it came from a rich mine. Cady Burke took him to see the scene. After returning, the business was completed. The result was a few months It was only later that I learned that he had been deceived. It was actually an abandoned mine decades ago, and the scammer dug a hole from the other side and sold it as a newly discovered mine."

"Has anyone seen him since he sold the mine information?"

"It doesn't seem to be. He only sold that one ore. Everyone knows that Tavel bought a rich mine. At that time, many people were looking for Cady Burke and wanted to ask him if he had more ore resources, but no one asked. I can't find him, so I guess he's gone somewhere else."

"That is to say, if he is brought back to confront Tavel, he can also plead that he does not know the history of the old mine, does not know that what he found is an abandoned old mine and escapes the crime of cheating?"

"This is very possible, unless a black mage uses mind-peeping techniques to know whether what he said is true or not."

"So when this kind of dispute goes to court, is there a precedent for asking the black mage to test the authenticity of the confession in court?"

"I don't know about this. If you can afford it, you might be able to hire a black mage, right? I guess? But Tavier definitely can't afford the money. He has sold all his assets and hasn't paid it off in order to open the mine. I don’t know where the debt I borrowed has gone, and the creditors scold him every day, but I can’t find anyone.” After finishing speaking, the clerk left for a while to receive a customer who just came in, and left the other party’s information. Back in front of Bai Tongtong again, "By the way, Miss Mercenary, why are you looking for Tavel and Cady Burke?"

"Ah, actually I didn't come here for them, it's because a similar case happened in another place, implicated the people above, and the liar escaped without a trace, I searched and found the poor man Tavel Egg, you sent me over here to inquire and collect some useful information." Bai Tongtong gave the clerk a little tip with a tired expression on his face, "I'll stay here for a while, if you think of something, Find me at the Jinxiangguo Hotel."

"Okay, if I think of something, I will tell you in time." The clerk happily accepted the tip, and his mind was spinning wildly, thinking about who else had contact with Cady Burke.
