Alien landlady

Chapter 96 Rest and Rest
Bai Tongtong was not interested in the slave trade. She wanted to go back to Fancheng after the cleaning work in the city was completed, but before she left, she had to visit the saltworks.

As soon as he found Adjutant Carjado, the young man didn't ask any questions, and immediately sent a soldier to take her there. Two light cavalry rode out of the city and went straight to the saltworks.

After meeting the head of the salt field, the head personally accompanied Bai Tongtong to visit the salt field. The salt production method is very primitive. In summer, it is exposed to the sun, and when it is cold, it is manually boiled.

The salt pans are spread out one by one, and the clear brine reflects in the sun. It is very spectacular to stand in a corner and look out. Workers are working in different salt pans, using big rakes to collect the salt particles precipitated by natural evaporation at the bottom of the pools. When they are piled up together to form a small salt mountain, when the pile is almost the same, they will be packed away in buckets, and then processed into clean fine salt and transported to Kama City for trading.

Bai Tongtong casually walked around the salt fields, and picked up several stone-like solid objects suspected to be carnallite from different salt fields. Under the stunned gaze of the director, she sniffed each piece, and then lit them with fire. Looking at them, it's nice to see the beautiful purple color that represents potassium.

The field director, workers and soldiers were all amazed that the stone, which had been regarded as the natural deposit of the salt pan, could actually burn.

Bai Tongtong turned off the fire, took out a cloth bag, and handed it to the worker to fill it with carnallite. Then she took out the experimental equipment, took a little brine and added it to the reagent, and an alkali reaction occurred.

Alkali in the salt lake was common knowledge in the past. The so-called drying salt in summer and fishing for alkali in winter, although I intuitively felt that the salt lake here should also contain alkali, but Bai Tongtong finally settled down after seeing the chemical reaction with his own eyes. There was a little excitement in my heart.

There is alkali, there is baking soda, and there are fried dough sticks and fried cakes!There are more soft and delicious cakes and breads!
Bai Tongtong couldn't help licking his mouth.

The field chief and the soldiers were so surprised that their jaws dropped again, thinking that Bai Tongtong was so thirsty that he wanted to drink salt water.

"Miss Bai, you must be tired from riding here. Let's go indoors and have a cup of tea. What do you think?"

Bai Tongtong raised her head and smiled sheepishly, "Thank you, but don't bother. I want to go back to Fancheng as soon as possible. Today's goal has been achieved. I will come again in winter."

After receiving the cloth bag filled with carnallite from the workers, the field manager took the distinguished guests out. Before parting, Bai Tongtong gave the salt field a barrel of wine as a proof of appointment for coming back in winter, and then rode back with the soldiers. Kama City is gone.

After sleeping in the city for the last night, after having breakfast the next day, Bai Tongtong bid farewell to the major figures in the city one by one, and fled directly to Fancheng.

The Duke’s knights lined up in the square to welcome Bai Tongtong, blowing the horn, and welcomed Bai Tongtong into the Duke’s castle. The family of the Duke of Kalljador was already waiting for Bai Tongtong, thanking her for the help and beneficial advice she provided for the war. She will always Is an honorary national of Tamir and has received a medal.

Unexpectedly, there would be such a scene waiting for her, Bai Tongtong accepted the whole ceremony of being honored with flattery, until the ceremony was over, when she went to the living room to rest and chat with the ladies and ladies, she still felt like a dream.

The Grand Duke went on with his business. The Earl of Berwick was defeated and retreated, and the war in the new land he had just occupied was tense. The two neighboring countries refused to make concessions. However, the morale of his own soldiers was high, and the current battle situation is not bad.

Bai Tongtong spent a pleasant morning with the female family members. After enjoying a sumptuous feast at noon, she hugged and bid farewell to every member of Carjado's family, and returned to Menis City after two teleportations through the guild's teleportation array.

Stepping out of the gate of the Magician's Guild Hall, a wave of heat came oncoming. Even though she was still standing in the shadow under the eaves, she inevitably began to sweat profusely. Compared with Tamir's cool and dry climate, May The city of Nice is humid and hot, and the contrast is extremely strong.

Pulling the neckline uncomfortably, Bai Tongtong fled back to the school dormitory with Ah Huang again with dry mouth.

This business trip lasted for almost two weeks, and a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the desks and chairs. After opening the front and rear doors to ventilate, Bai Tongtong cleaned it casually, and went to see the principal again.

Principal Hart was sitting on the sofa in the office reading the latest letter about Bai Tongtong's movements, which stated that her help in Kama City had ended and she was about to return to school.

Since Bai Tongtong left, although the two parties have not contacted each other again, Principal Hart has been receiving detailed information about her, which makes him feel that the original decision was correct. Farrell Baldrick, chief clerk of the Presbyterian House He is his most trustworthy student, and now he has Bai Tongtong, his new favorite student.

Just as he was imagining that if he had a chance in the future, he would introduce the two most proud students since he was the principal, when he heard Bai Tongtong's voice knocking on the door and announcing himself.

Principal Hart immediately put away the letter in his hand and responded.

Hearing the permission, Bai Tongtong opened the door and walked into the office. The old principal stood up with joy on his face, opened his arms and gave Bai Tongtong a big hug.

"I heard that you have made continuous contributions in Tamir, and now your name is known all over the country!" Principal Hart's excitement didn't just come from those few letters.

Bai Tongtong smiled calmly. She had already experienced an exciting moment this morning, and it was not easy to get her excited again. She showed the medal to the principal, and exchanged with the principal some news they each had.

"There is news outside that you are responsible for the bombing of Kirill's cities. Where did you get so much explosives?"

"That was originally prepared by the Kirills in advance to blow up the salt fields. Their bombing of Kama City was just a tactic to divert everyone's attention and make people forget about the salt fields for a while. I will plan and blow up their cities once. Macheng revenge. That city has suffered a lot, and I have been busy all day just burning the garbage with black flames in the warehouse area."

"Well, I do know this. Although the teleportation array was still cut off at that time, the transmission of the message relying on the transmission of runestones is still smooth."

"I heard from smugglers in Kama City that the teleportation array was reopened for them, but Kama's teleportation array will be closed for a while, the building of the guild hall has been demolished, and the teleportation array has to be rebuilt Security check."

"Don't worry about this. The craftsmen of the guild are a very powerful group of people. They don't even need the Grand Duke to come forward. As long as the magicians of Tamir think it is necessary, we will send people there immediately."

Bai Tongtong nodded, she never worried about this.

"Is there any new news? That's basically all I have in Tamir."

"There are too many. There are also special ones related to you."

"what?"

"You think, everyone knows that you blew up Black Leaf City, the palace was burned down, smugglers flooded in, and precious products suspected to come from Kirill appeared on the black market. What do you think people think of this? "

"I robbed Kirill's palace." Bai Tongtong said dryly.

"Then tell the truth, did you rob?"

"Yes." Bai Tongtong did not lie in front of the principal.

"real?!"

"It's more real than gold. If you don't rob them, where can I get food to support Kama? They burned all the grain depots, so I will rob them of their food and give it to Kama."

"anything else?"

"While bombing and grabbing, you will never miss it when you pass by." Bai Tongtong showed a hooligan face, and he was only short of shaking his feet.

"Can you tell me what you got?"

"It's nothing more than jewelry and precious works of art. Aren't the nobles in the palace and the city lord's mansion all those things? I bought raw materials with cash. Otherwise, where those things on the black market came from, they would all flow out of my hands."

"Hmph, I knew this matter was related to you. It was right to sell it, and it must be troublesome to keep it in your hands. With the help of a smuggler, you can't find the source, and there is no evidence that you did it."

"I think so too." Bai Tongtong grinned, and generously took Pollock's reminder to her, "But I still kept some good things."

The headmaster raised his eyebrows and waited for the next sentence.

"Tsk, black leaf vine~" Bai Tongtong winked triumphantly.

The headmaster didn't look too surprised.

"I found the underground warehouse where they store the black leaf vines, and went to the forest to cut off all the old vines that have become useful. I sold one-third and kept two-thirds." Bai Tongtong reported the approximate amount of the stock in his hand with a smile. quantity.

The principal stared in surprise and opened his mouth, "You really don't let it go!"

"They are going to perish, so why leave it to them? Why don't I carry it back and make a rattan chair and give each person a gift?" Bai Tongtong said confidently.

The old headmaster couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Bai Tongtong's head lovingly, "You know how to weave wicker chairs?"

"No. But I can learn." Bai Tongtong tilted her head with an expression of asking for credit.

Principal Hart immediately decided not to condone young people's bad habits, he gave Bai Tongtong a sideways look, and started another topic.

"By the way, you don't have time to learn rattan weaving recently. Earl Ancus is going to fight abroad. It just happened that you have a new type of explosive. He also wrote me a letter asking me to keep it after you come back You, he came to talk to you in person." The principal said while rummaging through a pile of letters and documents on the table beside the sofa.

"Uh..." Bai Tongtong remembered that Pollock had mentioned this news, but didn't go into it at the time. It seemed that he really had to face a big shot.

"Count Ancus went abroad to fight? Are we declaring war?" Bai Tongtong had to find out first whether he was fighting for the sake of God.

"No. It's a private war among the nobles. Ankus's relatives abroad were bullied, so I asked him for help in revenge."

"Just for this little thing? Want my explosives?"

"Can't give it?"

"I can't give it. You can tell from my two shots. The most I can do is intercept the enemy's retreat back to the camp and blow them up."

"That's enough. Ankus wanted to take you out mainly to make your reputation shock the enemy, and he didn't expect to rely on your explosives to decide the outcome of the entire battle."

"I think his enemies will hate seeing me on the battlefield. Not only because I have new explosives." Bai Tongtong licked his lips innocently.

Principal Hart laughed.

It is not easy to go abroad to fight, so there is still plenty of time for Bai Tongtong to rest. When Bai Tongtong left the principal's office, Principal Hart wrote to Earl Ancus, hoping that he could wait until the summer vacation to return to the capital before arranging a meeting. .

Bai Tongtong walked around the building and greeted the teachers. Master Jules was leading the students to do experiments in the laboratory, so she didn't bother her and decided to go back to the dormitory to rest.

As soon as he walked outside the dormitory door, he heard laughter coming from the living room with the open window. Ah Huang jumped onto the window sill and happily rushed to Bai Tongtong Nya. space.

Then, the heads of the three of Aini and the others appeared behind Ah Huang, and it was Aini's maid Hill who opened the door for her.

In the kitchen and dining room, their personal servants were preparing refreshments, and even helped to clean the dormitory carefully. Bai Tongtong gave Ah Huang who was asking for credit a sideways look, and went upstairs to change with a half-smile.

After Trim temporarily lost contact with his family, he kept getting the latest news from the principal. The war was progressing smoothly and Bai Tongtong's reputation was rising. He knew all these important news. return.

Changing into plain clothes, drinking refreshing tea to quench thirst, Bai Tongtong was enjoying the pleasant leisure time while telling stories to the children. Tamir’s wilderness scenery in summer is worth talking about. It is to stay away from the battlefield, light the fire and run away.

"Then when you went to blow up Kirill's city lords' mansions and palaces, you snatched a lot of good things, right?" Trim smiled meanly.

"Don't look at me, it's gone, it's all sold to smugglers."

"Ha, I won!" Ai Ni clapped her hands and laughed.

"Bet me?" Bai Tongtong's calculating eyes turned back and forth on the faces of the three children, "No matter what the bet is, I will split it in half."

"As long as I win, of course you have a share." The two sisters, Ai Ni and Bai Tongtong, patted Bai Tongtong's shoulders like big sisters.

The boys looked at each other, and both threw suspicious eyes at Bai Tongtong, "You really sold it all? Didn't you save some for yourself?"

"Of course." Bai Tongtong spoke out panting, "Save some for myself."

"Ha, Ai Ni lost!"

"Hmph, anyway, no matter how the three of you bet, don't forget to give me half of the bet." Bai Tongtong pointed his fingers in front of the children one by one.

"Tongtong, what did you keep? Can you tell me?" Aini asked curiously as she knelt sideways on the sofa, put her elbows on the backrest, and rested her cheeks.

The other two boys had the same expression. Even Trim didn't realize that Kirill had something worth keeping for his own use.

Bai Tongtong stood up mysteriously and glanced at the driveway outside the window, to make sure that no one was eavesdropping outside, then hooked her fingers and signaled the children to come closer.

"Black Leaf Vine."

The children were so shocked that they froze for a while. Fortunately, they restrained themselves from screaming. Ai Ni and Ted Qi turned their eyes to Trim and lowered their voices, "You didn't even expect Kid Lear grows blackleaf vines?"

"Forgot." Trim told the truth.

Bai Tongtong looked at the three of them amusedly, as if they were distributing the spoils unevenly, and continued to drink tea slowly by themselves.

After the children made a fuss all afternoon, they went to a small restaurant on the street for dinner, and Bai Tongtong drove them back to review. She re-arranged the attic laboratory and seized the time to make new explosives.

This time, there was plenty of time, and Bai Tongtong was able to carry out the work with ease. He also had time to study the physical and chemical properties of the carnallite brought back, and try to separate the various elements contained in it. Master Jules often went to discuss various issues.

A week later, the students started hellish final exams. After each subject, no one had a good face. Even students with good academic performance seemed to be ravaged by all kinds of things in the past few days.

On the day after the last exam, Trim couldn't wait to go home. The principal gave Bai Tongtong a few days off, and she was able to go back to Fort Chamington with Annie, and stayed at Seiya's house for a few days to see her Little darling, she didn't go to the capital until the beginning of July.

On the day when he arrived at the principal's house, Bai Tongtong wrote a letter to meet Earl Ancus.

In the past few days, Tamir's side has achieved a lot of battles and successfully occupied the territory that originally belonged to the Kirills. The morale of the soldiers was high and they fought bravely. The two neighbors who would grab the territory in the future rushed back to their own borders.Duke Kalljadha publicly announced that Tamir would only accept Kirill's land as it is, and would not grab an inch more, but Tamir would not be afraid of war if someone had evil intentions.

As a result, the result of Tamir’s expansion of territory has become irreversible. A small number of former Kirill citizens fled to neighboring countries, and most of them were captured and sold as slaves by Tamir soldiers. Under the reality of fleeing to the neighboring country Akerman, the result was just entering the country, and was discovered by the local managers, and the five flowers were sent out of the country and handed over to the Tamils.

The king was arrested, the country was swallowed up, and Kirill's independent kingdom officially became history.

Anyone who cares about this battle more or less knows that Bai Tongtong has helped a lot. Many people who originally only had an impression of her as having a shadowless cat are now directly impressed by her bold style. She was deeply impressed, and involuntarily raised her opinion. Information about her became extremely sought-after for a while, and everyone in the upper echelons of the capital knew that the place with the most complete information was the file room managed by the chief clerk of the Elderly House.

Farrell Baldrick felt a little proud and complacent about this result. He needed Bai Tongtong to attract everyone's attention. For this reason, he would provide her with some convenience within his ability. The better her performance, the better. , so that he and Harding can hide in the crowd, do some shady work in addition to normal work, eliminate potential enemies, and ensure that the country he loves is still prosperous.
