Alien landlady

Chapter 163 New plan
Bai Tongtong pulled out a cushion from behind and hugged it as a pillow, and looked at Pollock with a smile, "Tell me about your plan. You have been here for so long, and there are no other reinforcements, which means that the main purpose is not certain." To put Daly back on the throne, there are connotations in the announcement that I don't understand."

"Why use our soldiers to help others fight the civil war?" Pollock smiled, wagging his fingers.

"Okay, I don't understand politics either. Don't teach me politics now, just tell me what you want me to do and what benefits I can get."

"Keep the Beadle trail, and don't let the powerful enemies from the mainland come over."

"The civil war is over?"

"The content of the announcement is to support Queen Daly, who was deposed from the throne, to return to the country to regain the throne. Anyone who stands with De Vere I is an enemy, and he is required to return the throne within a time limit. The words are very beautiful, but they are not sure. It will help Daly get her wish, Dwyer and his supporters have been planning for so long to succeed in one fell swoop, which is enough to show their strategy and execution ability." Pollock shrugged as if he didn't do his own thing, "Allies must also be selected. powerful."

"Poor Daly, totally taken advantage of."

"Who told her to be the last stumbling block? Dwyer and the others believed that ending the corrupt and unreliable Akley dynasty and rebuilding a new dynasty was the best way to save their country from being invaded and occupied by foreign enemies."

"From this standpoint, it makes sense. In any case, the coup was resolved peacefully at the least cost, but I didn't expect the former queen who stepped down to kill her again. She is indeed a child who has studied in the Magic and Martial Academy, and she is obsessed with this advantage. Well inherited."

"The coup d'état was mixed with personal enmity, and the situation became very complicated. It has been confirmed that the death of Daly's parents and elder brother is indeed related to Dwyer. It is better for us not to intervene casually. Why not help them defend in the name of helping the war?" It is also a bond of friendship to follow the Biddle Trail, especially since Dwyer does not currently have enough money to pay for the army."

"Why no money? Dwyer directly inherits a country with a dry treasury?"

"Because the vault was sealed by your cat, the vault hidden under the basement can only be found by demolishing the palace." Pollock winked playfully.

"Huh? Is that for my hard work? Well done Ah Huang."

Ah Huang flicked his tail very proudly.

"You're dreaming." Pollock hit back mercilessly, "That's the money of this country, and it will be returned to them after they finish the civil war. You have other plans for your share, but I don't think you have enough money." space to install."

"So, I think you must be ready to give me something new, right?" Bai Tongtong threw the cushion in her arms onto another chair and sat up straight. Mr. Pollock, the smuggler, I will not work if it is not beneficial, I think you know this very well."

Threats, who can't, especially when the other party wants something from themselves, this trick is the best to use.

Bai Tongtong laughed wickedly.

Pollock slowly landed helplessly, he was wary of Ah Huang's movements, and at the same time remained stubborn, "I really don't understand those advanced alchemy things, but I can teach you a little theory, and you can make a simple one yourself. "

"Can it still be like this?" Bai Tongtong was not satisfied with not being able to extract labor directly.

"Do you want it?" The negotiating advantage returned to Pollock's side, and it was his turn to fold his arms calmly, with a negotiating face, "It's just guarding the Beadle trail. You can find others to help you if you don't want to, isn't it?" It's up to you, there are many people who want to come and don't agree."

"Hey! His face changed so fast!" Bai Tongtong winked at Ah Huang in displeasure, Ah Huang's tail swiped, his body spun and jumped, and Pollock flew into the air in a panic to avoid another blow.

"I believe you should have inquired about the importance of the Biddle Trail. Since it is called this name, of course it means that it has been controlled by this country for a long time. There have been several short-term occupations by enemy countries in history, but most of the time belonged to this country. national territory."

"Well, I know that most of the country's wealth comes from tariffs, and the trade between the two continents relies on this trail to make money. I also want such a good territory."

"So here's the chance." Pollock's tone suddenly changed to that of an old hag who lures children into a candy house.

Bai Tongtong hooked her fingers to call Ah Huang back, so that Pollock could return to the ground and sit on the chair just now. He floated too high, and her neck was a little tired.

"Tell me, what chance?" Bai Tongtong took the teacup from the tea tray and handed it to Pollock without hesitation for this benefit.

Pollock drank a few sips of tea slowly, and then let the teacup float by his hand under Bai Tongtong's anxious stare.

"You need to be patient when talking about business."

"For the sake of me being your first choice, I don't mind you preparing a reserve team."

"Of course, I don't think of you for the first time when it's good."

"Can you get to the point quickly? Make it clear, there is a half-day time difference between the two countries. Gulis's side is after dinner, and this side is in the morning. I just got over the discomfort of ultra-long-distance transmission. , still enduring the pain of jet lag, do you want to see me go crazy?"

Pollock immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Okay, okay, don't waste your time, I'll hurry up and go to sleep after finishing talking."

"Say it."

"Starting from Biddle, before reaching the entrance of the trail, you must first pass through a place called Devil City."

"Devil City? Is there a Gobi Desert in this country?" Bai Tongtong immediately thought of the Yadan landform.

"No, the environment in this area is very good. There are only forests and rivers, and there is no Gobi Desert."

"Then what is Devil City?"

"It's an open-pit mining area, unmined, and no one has calculated the approximate reserves in detail. Occasionally, foreign magicians go to get some ore for experiments."

"The so-called foreign magicians are mostly Gulisi, right?"

"That goes without saying." Pollock raised his eyebrows.

"Well, what's so special about this mining area?"

"This is a natural magic magnetic mining area, and it is the only magic magnetic mining area that has been discovered in so many years."

"Magic magnetism? The magnetism of a magnet?"

"uh-huh."

"A natural magnet with magical properties?!" Bai Tongtong was really surprised.

"It belongs to the standard magic element material."

"There is such a miraculous thing."

"Before it was named, the biggest use of this magnet was to make a compass for navigation, so the Biddles didn't use it themselves, and it was extremely difficult to mine. They could only pick up stones on the surface and sell them to foreign businessmen to make navigation. Supplies."

"Don't tell me, the final naming was also after Biddle built the teleportation array. The magician of Gulisi came and brought the samples back for research, which made the magic world have a new magic material called magic magnetism."

"Hey, it's exactly the process you said."

"My God, it's a brand new mining area, and it's very valuable."

"Unique value. At present, there is only this magic magnetic mining area. Don't think that the stones exposed on the ground are really ordinary stones. Only flowers, plants and trees in that area are ordinary."

"Since it is a natural magnet mine, why is it called Devil City?"

"Because if you want to enter there, you can't have a metal object on your body, including decorative buttons and rivets. Women's jewelry is not allowed. As long as you have it on your body, as soon as you enter the Devil City, you are waiting for yourself to be firmly held by a rock mountain. Adhere to it. People in the past didn’t know what caused this phenomenon. They said that the devil was very interested in human metal objects. Over time, it became common sense. Business travelers didn’t even carry a small knife for cutting meat. Someone tried it out, wrapped a pearl earring in cloth and put three boxes in it. The boxes were placed in a carriage. Not long after entering Devil City, the box smashed through the door of the carriage and was sucked not far away. on the rocky mountain."

"The suction is so strong. If someone walks in with earrings and necklaces on, wouldn't it be miserable?"

"It's really miserable. The ears were torn and the neck was cut. It's true. I don't want to scare you. This is the common sense of the entire Biddle Highland and the lowland countries below. Children know it."

"Not even the magic ring?" Bai Tongtong raised her hands, she was wearing two rings.

"The president's ring is fine, but your outdated storage ring is not."

"Material?"

Pollock nodded, "Magnetism is now one of the basic materials for magic supplies, but it is scarce in quantity, so it is still used on valuables most of the time."

"No wonder I don't have a magic magnet."

"Fortunately, you didn't know that there was such a thing as magic magnetism in this world."

"Because you can't get it." Bai Tongtong had a regretful expression of beating his chest, "If I had known earlier, I would have ruined your business reputation. The omnipotent smuggler Mr. Pollock also has goods that he can't get. I believe this will be a great encouragement to your competitors."

"My humble opinion that you didn't succeed is really a great encouragement to my humble self. It reminds me of any good things in the future. As long as you don't take the initiative to bring it up, I will pretend not to know."

"Hmph, as long as you still ask me, you will naturally speak out. Just like this devil city."

"Isn't that afraid that you will be sucked on the rocky mountain and have to cut off your fingers to get out?"

"You are more ruthless than me. The most I can wish you is the failure of your business. You actually want me to become disabled."

"Don't accuse me of unwarranted charges. If I sincerely harm you, I won't tell you the story of Devil City. To guard Biddle Trail, Devil City is the only way."

"How many helpers do I have?"

"The soldiers guarding the checkpoint at both ends of Biddle Trail and the entire Devil City, the weapons of the soldiers are expensive special products mixed with magnetic powder, so they can be brought into the Devil City safely. Another advantage is that they become unusually sharp, but crafting The method is a state secret."

"You still want me to die, why should the guards protect me?" Bai Tongtong wanted to bite Pollock to death.

"I believe in your ability. It is not too difficult to block the powerful enemy on the opposite side of the mainland. Just use your best to steal them all."

"But I don't have any magic supplies that I can safely bring into Devil City." Bai Tongtong stared at Pollock, "If you want me to work, you have to help me make new ones."

"Advanced alchemy is too complicated. I will try my best to help you, provide some theoretical basis, and make a start. The rest is up to you." Pollock took out a small cloth bag, which contained something heavy. Shaking it with a rustling sound, "You can consider that before it gets dark today, it will take time for me to find someone else."

"Tch, to put it nicely, I don't have a choice at all." Bai Tongtong reached out to snatch the cloth bag, which must have been refined magic magnetic powder, but Pollock didn't let her succeed.

"You go to sleep first, and recover your energy. If you have nothing to do at night, start making a new storage ring. As long as everything goes well, one night is enough." Pollock snickered and put away the cloth bag.

"You dare to say that you don't understand advanced alchemy! Ah Huang, come on!"

A Huang rushed towards Pollock quickly, Pollock flew into the air, opened the door with the wind, and rushed out, A Huang followed closely, Bai Tongtong followed behind, and they chased out together, but they were forced to stop in the hall pace.

The soldiers watching on the roof came down to warn. On the street outside the main gate, it seemed that explosives had been brought in.

Pollock was floating in the air, refusing to land desperately, ignoring Ah Huang's threat on the ground.

"Ah Huang, go, steal all the explosives and save them to deal with the enemies on the mainland." Bai Tongtong yawned, her tears couldn't be stopped, and she was about to pass out again if she didn't lie down.

Ah Huang immediately gave up on Pollock, jumped out of the guild gate and sank into the ground.

The master's doll took Bai Tongtong upstairs to the bedroom prepared for her to rest.

Pollock floated to the roof to monitor the situation, and saw in the distance that there were several flat carriages suspected of transporting supplies, and many soldiers were moving the contents of the carts into a room.

He waited patiently and watched as the carts of supplies were all transported. It took at most a few minutes before the carriages left, and there was a commotion. Many people ran in and out, not knowing what they were looking at, and they were a little flustered. Zhang's, then Ah Huang appeared in the guild's yard and threw the things it brought back all over the ground.

The shadowless cat successfully completed the task. It sniffed the smell in the air, ran upstairs quickly, and found Bai Tongtong's room to sleep with her.

Pollock stored all the explosives enough to blow up the entire guild to the ground in the dry attic for future use.
