Alien landlady

Chapter 98
After a good night's sleep, Bai Tongtong got up refreshed and went downstairs to have breakfast with everyone. The men at the table were chatting and laughing, but they didn't mention the war. Neighbors from the estate came to attend.

As the only female guest, Bai Tongtong enthusiastically expressed that it must be very interesting, and the boys from the Viscount's family immediately expressed their willingness to teach her a few simple country dance steps.

Bai Tongtong finally understood that the war atmosphere like Tamir was completely different from the private fighting among the nobles. She was here under the banner of going abroad to join the war, but she was actually here for a vacation in a foreign country. The difference is that there are no female relatives. It's just for participation, no wonder Earl Ancus's time limit can't miss his meeting in September.

After figuring it out, Bai Tongtong relaxed the string called "war" in her mind, and enjoyed a leisurely vacation with no homework and experiments, and it was time for her to take a long vacation for herself.

Bai Tongtong leisurely followed a group of aristocrats to experience what is the normal state of aristocratic life, and participated in several rounds of battles during the enjoyment. In the first confrontation, she only sent Ah Huang, which upset the enemy's camp and completely forgot to fight. For this matter, the opposing nobles scolded him, saying that Viscount Cyril's side bringing magicians into battle was against the principle of fairness in noble battles.

Therefore, for the sake of fairness, Viscount Cyril had no choice but to not let Bai Tongtong participate in the battle. Bai Tongtong became a tourist and was brought back to the town by the Viscountess to enjoy the activities that belonged to their women.

While Bai Tongtong was having fun, Farrell, who was far away in Qingshi City, the capital of Gulisi, was struggling to find suitable real estate information among a pile of infrequently used and dusty documents.

It wasn't until August that Viscount Cyril finally won the war that took several months and won a piece of territory from his opponent.Bai Tongtong saw that it was not a loss to get a piece of land, and she herself had a good time, so she stopped complaining about this inefficient way of fighting.

The viscount won the battle. According to the local customs, there will be a celebration banquet for several days in a row. After the banquet in the manor is not enough, it will continue when you return to the town. The dinner on the first day and the dance on the second day, by the way, a large group of people will also participate I went to a hunting meeting organized by the Viscount’s friends, and held an open-air barbecue banquet in order to kill a few wild boars that harmed the crops. All kinds of food.

Such a beautiful and depraved day finally came to an end. In mid-August, Earl Ancus bid farewell to his relatives and Viscount Cyril reluctantly. The mighty was sent across the border and returned to Gulisi.

Earl Ancus wanted to go back to his own territory with the team, and he wanted to invite Bai Tongtong to go with him, but Bai Tongtong declined on the grounds that he wanted to rush back to the capital to meet the principal, so the two parties broke up in Tara City, and Bai Tongtong didn't waste any time , directly returned to the capital from the teleportation array, and then fled back to the principal's house.

The headmaster's butler kindly welcomed Bai Tongtong back from victory. After exchanging necessary polite greetings, the butler gave Bai Tongtong a few glances, "Well, I have to say, Miss Bai, it seems that you have come back from the outside a lot more mellow."

Bai Tongtong was shocked, lowered her head and pinched her belly, and was horrified to find that a layer of swimming rings could be picked up on her stomach!

How depraved she has been for more than a month! ! !

Seeing Bai Tongtong's appearance of being hit hard by the weight gain, Mr. Housekeeper had no choice but to comfort him quickly, "Miss Bai, round girls are cute and charming. You were too thin before, but now you are fine."

Bai Tongtong, who was immersed in the sad news of growing flesh, ignored the housekeeper's comfort. She squeezed her arm sadly, and found even more sadly that the lumpy muscles had turned into drooping fat.

Depravity makes people die. Bai Tongtong, who suddenly came up with this sentence in her mind, cupped her face in her hands, with teary eyes, she looked at Ah Huang at her feet resentfully, 【Can you still lick the root of your own tail? 】

Ah Huang tried his best to curl himself into a ball, but unexpectedly, due to the obstruction of his fat belly, he failed several times, and raised his head sadly to Bai Tongtong's long Nya.

Bai Tongtong patted her belly and said, "I'm going to lose weight."

Ah Huang nodded vigorously.

The housekeeper wisely shut up, and called the maid to accompany Bai Tongtong back to the room to change.

In the afternoon, when the headmaster and his wife came back from the entertainment, the first words they said when they saw Bai Tongtong were also mellow.

Bai Tongtong immediately decided to go out for a run immediately, and increase the number of jogging to twice a day, so as to consume the fat that had grown like being fat for more than a month.

It's just too ugly, and it's detrimental to her healthy image.

The principal and his wife watched Bai Tongtong change into a mercenary outfit and ran away in a hurry, and then learned from the housekeeper that Bai Tongtong was deeply shocked by her gaining weight, thinking that her aesthetics were still at the level of a muscular female soldier, it was very difficult. Make a wise decision not to bring up the subject of weight in front of her again.

After running with panting, I did a set of warm-up exercises and took the time to practice boxing. I also added additional exercises of sit-ups and push-ups.

Harding, who was hiding in the evening wind, saw all this and went back to Farrell in a puzzled manner.

【She just put on a little weight. Praising her for being plump and round is like scolding her. What's so good about her shriveled figure before? No wonder no one praised her for being beautiful before. 】

【She came back today? ] Farrell buried his head in a pile of documents, listening to the magic pet every sentence.

[I said so much, you didn't hear me? 】

[I'm curious why you suddenly care about whether she is beautiful or ugly. 】

[Isn't it because the girls in your social circle are all plump and lovely beauties, and suddenly there is a dry and thin one who is more conspicuous? This is my good wish that she will also become beautiful. 】

[She can live so well after working as a female mercenary for so many years, I think it's because of her dry skin. 】

【You believe she is a mercenary again, not a cover? 】

[The mercenary must be a cover. Tamir's experience has helped her accumulate some battlefield experience, but her fighting skills are genuine. That is to say, before she entered our country, she must have lived a regular and stable life, maybe It's a bit hard, but it's far less dangerous than the life of a mercenary. It's just that for some reason, she gave up those things and came here, starting from scratch in a strange environment with no relatives and no one to rely on. 】Farrell put down his work, grabbed the wine glass next to him, relaxed his body and leaned against the back of the chair, and took a rest with a sip of wine.

[It sounds like a story that cannot be inquired casually. 】

[I thought you should have given up on this idea a long time ago. 】

[Obviously you didn't do that either. 】 Harding snorted and despised his master.

[I will not go to her face to face to verify.no need. 】

【why?Are you not curious? 】

[According to the gossip I heard today, I really don't need to be curious about her origin. 】

[What did those idiots who love to gossip say? 】

[Some people think that she is a good candidate for marriage. 】

【Oh?Oooo!Finally someone figured this out!Those idiots should have thought of it long ago!Wuyingmao by her side is the best condition for a marriage proposal.She has unlimited potential now, and the men who marry her will benefit a lot in the future, and the idiots are finally saved. 】

[So, I don't need to wonder about her origin anymore.The man who wants to marry her knowing that she is alone is either a shrewd person who has considered the risks and benefits clearly, or a fool who only has benefits in front of him.No matter what, after she got married, she took her husband's surname. Three to five years later, who would remember that she was a fake mercenary of unknown origin, Tongtong? Bai?People will only know that she is either Mrs. So-and-so, or Magician--so-and-so. 】

Harding was silent for a while, and licked his nose, [They are still a group of hopelessly stupid humans, there are shadowless cats, if you want to marry its partner, you must pass its test first, and monsters like us will not follow suit. Casually recognize the owner's spouse as a new family member. 】

【Are you very picky about your master's spouse? 】

[It depends on the target.If you are a woman, I will be very picky about your future husband, but if you are a man, I can relax a little bit on the conditions of the hostess. 】

【Oh, I'm relieved then. 】

[Also, if you really want to find a wife, please choose from girls with high-level magic pets. Ordinary people don't have the lifespan to grow old with you. 】

Farrell grabbed the fluff on the top of Harding's head with his free hand, 【Few girls with high-level magic pets are innocent. My work is complicated enough. I hope the family environment should be simpler. My wife is weak. It's okay to be cute. 】

[If a political enemy attacks you in the future, a weak wife will be your Achilles' heel. She may not even have the ability to protect herself. Even if you give her a good magic pet, she will not be able to drive it due to her lack of ability. 】

[Yes, this is the hesitant part, that's why it's so hard to find a suitable one. 】

[Marriage is really complicated. 】

[Who said no. 】

Harding licked Farrell's hand, left him and ran to the patio to cool off, ending the chat.

Farrell drank the rest of his glass and went back to work.

At the principal's house, Bai Tongtong finally finished today's exercise, took a bath and changed clothes, and had dinner with the principal and his wife.

At the dinner table, Bai Tongtong talked about her experience of living abroad for more than a month. She praised the leisurely country life, but was dissatisfied with the increased fat on her body.

Upon hearing this, the principal exchanged glances with his wife, thinking that now is a good opportunity to talk about serious business.

"So, do you like country life?" the headmaster asked as he tore the soup from the bottom of the roll.

"It depends on where the village is. If the surrounding life is convenient, then it's not bad." Bai Tongtong is no longer a child, and when the principal said this, she knew that there was something to follow, "But since you are asking this, principal, should I accept it?" Is the place to study in the countryside?"

"Your education method is different from others. Now that you have learned it, it's time for you to need a stable environment for you to accumulate the knowledge you have acquired. Otherwise, this seemingly unreliable jumping learning method may eventually become a problem. Let you do nothing."

"Then where should I go? I'm very picky about the rural environment." Bai Tongtong directly asked the central topic, and other side issues were negligible.

"I've considered this for you, and I specially found a recycled aristocratic property that the senior working in the elders' house found for you."

"There are still graduates working in the elders' home? From the magician team? Which faction? Who?" Bai Tongtong asked a series of questions.

"The senior is called Farrell Baldrick, and he is the chief clerk of the elders' house. He is neutral and can be trusted."

"This name is so strange, I have never heard of it. Is he a graduate?"

"He is a graduate, but he is not a magician. It's not that he failed the exam, but that he deliberately gave up the opportunity to become a magician in order to inherit his father's career and enter the elders' house as a clerk. He was a very talented student back then. If he doesn't give up, he must be a dual-line magician of wind and alchemy now."

Bai Tongtong's face was wrinkled into embarrassment, "Such a powerful person, just because he wants to be a clerk, he gave up the magician?! Principal, you were not deceived by his random reasons, right? Social status is very different, please!"

"No, no, it was helpless for the son to inherit his father's career. He had an elder brother above him. He was actually the second son. But after he entered school, he was found to be a rare gifted student, a great magician who may be recorded in history in the future As a potential candidate, some changes took place in the family. His elder brother became no longer studious, but quickly degenerated into a street gangster under the leadership of his friends, doing foreign affairs outside in the name of his younger brother. Derek has bailed his eldest son from the sheriff countless times. When the old Baldrick was about to retire, Farrell just graduated. The eldest son was hated by everyone, and the youngest son was not old enough. class, defeated many senior competitors three years ago and became the youngest chief clerk."

"It's not surprising. Such a genius will strive to be the best no matter what industry he is in. He used to be the best magic student, and now he must be the best chief clerk."

"Yes, he is the best chief clerk. The person sitting in this position manages a file room independently, and most of the classified information is stored in it. Everyone in the upper circle of the capital knows that since Farrell took this position, That document room has become the place with the most complete information.”

"That is to say, if you want information, you should go to him. Chief clerk, there are countless documents passed by every day, and news that is useless in other people's hands may be useful information in another place and another person."

"Yes."

"This senior is really amazing." Bai Tongtong scratched his cheek and muttered, "The chief secretary of the elders' house and the number one intelligence chief of the kingdom, offending him is tantamount to death."

This is a real genius.

In contrast, Bai Tongtong, who deeply knew how much she weighed, felt ashamed.

"Yes, so he is neutral and does not belong to any faction. I will introduce you to you when I have the opportunity. You can discuss the part of the alchemy formation. He is an expert in this area."

"I'm afraid such a busy person doesn't have time to meet me specially? Principal, let's talk about this later. I'll be very sorry if I disturb the work of the seniors."

"Ah, yes, he's been very busy recently. The expansion of Tamir's territory has affected our diplomatic relations with them. When I saw him last time, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat. Well, see There is no way for you to meet recently, let's see if he has time to talk about it during the New Year's holiday."

"Yeah, okay." Bai Tongtong nodded perfunctorily. She didn't want to meet that genius. Once they met, people would see the flaws. "Principal, where is the house? You said that the senior found it for me." A good place, where is it?"

"Oh, that's a manor. Its location belongs to the town of Forborg under the city of Soller. The whole town was originally the territory of an earl. Later, the earl's family withered and had no heirs. The last countess died of illness before she became an adult. All the property was taken back, and it has not been assigned to other nobles, and the town has also sent a new mayor to manage it."

"Sounds good. His Majesty is the big landlord of the aristocratic property recovered by the state and the unoccupied idle manor. Where is the exact location? What's the climate like?"

"This is a place that was finally found according to the needs of your agricultural experiments and Ah Huang's life needs. It is adjacent to the border forest in the south, and it is next to the border line with Kedikov."

"It means that after crossing the boundary river in the forest, I will go to a foreign country?" Bai Tongtong felt that that talented senior could really find a place.

"Isn't such a large primeval forest enough for you to hunt for treasure?" The principal squinted at Bai Tongtong, "It's for you to rent temporarily and concentrate on studying, so don't try to keep it for yourself."

"If I live happily, can't I buy it? It's free land anyway, isn't it?"

"Maybe you changed your mind later? Maybe there is a better choice in the future?"

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look first before deciding whether to rent or not."

"You can just go directly to the mayor in Fauborg. You don't need to say who introduced you, just say that you are here to rent a house."

"Well, then I'll go out tomorrow. By the way, how long has the house been idle? Don't wait until I see a ruin in the past, then I will definitely not rent it."

"It's like five or six years. It won't be too long. He said that he can move in directly after cleaning. If he lies, I will take you to him to settle the score."

Imagining the beautiful Earl's Manor in his mind, Bai Tongtong's eyes smiled into crescents.

The next morning, Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang arrived at Soller City through the guild's teleportation array, and asked the guild staff how to get to Fubao Town, and learned that it would take two days to get to the town by long-distance carriage, so they decided to change the method. After asking the direction of Fubao Town, Ah Huang used the ground escape technique to jump over.

Ahuang's ability to find directions has improved, and he can find inhabited villages and towns in unfamiliar environments where he has never been before. Although there will inevitably be a little detour, the rural scenery along the way still feasts Bai Tongtong's eyes.

　I hope to be buried happily by recommendation tickets and monthly tickets~~~
