Alien landlady

Chapter 97
On the morning of the second day after Earl Ancus received Bai Tongtong's handwritten letter, he really came to Principal Hart's house to meet with Bai Tongtong in person.

He brought some public information about the warring parties, and the ones who asked him to help to join the war were relatives from the uncle's side, and after careful calculation, they were not close relatives from the earl's side, so foreign nobles were involved, and Bai Tongtong didn't bother to pay attention to the nobles The intricate personal connections and interest entanglements between them, anyway, in her eyes, the upper-class family is such a big circle, and they are all relatives.

Another chance to go abroad, Bai Tongtong hastily flipped through the documents in her hand and put them down. All the resumes were written on it, and she was not interested in fully understanding these allies and enemies who were far away abroad.

Earl Ancus must have done some research on Bai Tongtong a long time ago. Seeing that she was not interested in the pile of information, he immediately told her that as long as the war can be won, the loser will be at the mercy of the winner, and rewards will be given for meritorious deeds. He will definitely not treat her badly.

This kind of vague promise is meaningless most of the time, but now Bai Tongtong's behavior style is well known, if you dare not keep your promise to her, you have to be careful of your own family's treasure house.And there's no proof that she did it.

The matter was settled like this, Bai Tongtong agreed to join the team, the Earl immediately went back to make arrangements, and set off soon, he hoped for a quick fix, and he would come back to attend the meeting in September.

Of course, before departure, Bai Tongtong still has to attend the classes that should be attended, and one day cannot be wasted.

Earl Ancus had his own army in his territory, and he wanted to take it with him this time, so he was divided into two groups. The army set off from the territory, while Bai Tongtong and the earl and his sons went directly to the teleportation formation from the capital. They will meet together in the border city of Tara in the east, and crossing the border is the territory of the earl's uncle's relatives.

The army moved slowly, passing through several domestic aristocratic territories along the way, everyone was watching the excitement, and there were some betting, many people were optimistic about the Earl's winning rate because they knew that Bai Tongtong would join.

After the team first arrived at Tara City, they rested and wrote to Earl Ancus at the same time. Therefore, on July 7th, Bai Tongtong packed up his luggage and waited for the men of the Ancus family at the Magicians Guild early in the morning. and their knights.

Only those who saw it found out that the Earl had brought his youngest son, who was only in his early ten years, with a haughty look, with arrogance written all over his face. He seemed to be reluctant to express his politeness.

Bai Tongtong didn't bother to pay attention to this brat who had no inheritance rights.

All the personnel arrived, and the teleportation formations were all ready. The dozen or so people were divided into several groups, stepped into different transmission formations, and the light flashed one by one. They had already arrived at the Magicians Guild in Tara City.

Outside the guild, there was already a carriage waiting for the earl and his party. The army could not stay in the city for a long time, so they passed through the city and camped in the field outside the city, leaving only the captain in the city waiting to meet the earl.

Sitting in the carriage, Bai Tongtong thought that he would leave the country directly, and after meeting up with the team, he crossed the border to meet his allies. As a result, the carriage took them to the best hotel in the city, rested for a day and then set off tomorrow.

Bai Tongtong felt very speechless about this slow-moving way of dispatching troops to fight. If she had known it would be as boring as an outing for aristocratic women, she would not have come here.

Bai Tongtong secretly decided that if someone invites her to go to war with her next time, she must ask clearly.

After resting in the hotel room for a while, Bai Tongtong, who had nothing to do, took Ah Huang, who was also doing nothing, for a walk on the street. While it was still early, he went to the market to see what the locals were eating, or what he hadn't seen before. mineral resources.

It took me a whole day of shopping, I ate a lot of snacks, I bought a bunch of special souvenirs, and I also asked the merchants about the city-state of the neighboring Biegabo Freedom Alliance in the market.

Biergabo comes from the first syllables of the names of the four largest city-states, which are combined to form the name of the country. Each large city-state is attached to a different number of small city-states, and each small city-state also has its own towns and cities. rural.

It sounds like the administrative structure is very complicated, but in fact it is just a change of soup without changing the medicine. The big city-states are only responsible for their own vassal city-states, and the lords of the small city-states are responsible for the towns and villages below. Drinking water is common enough to take it for granted, and it is common to find foreign aid, but it is a bit rare to find foreign help, so it is not surprising that Earl Ancus' team has attracted attention.

The relationship between the two countries is not bad. People say that confrontation at the national level is rare. The frequent private wars between the nobles are enough to absorb many grievances and cannot rise to the level of national wars.

In the early morning of the next day, the captain of Ankus brought the Earl and the others to the camp outside the city with their horses. Bai Tongtong thought that he would see a magnificent team, but when he really saw it, he couldn't help being disappointed.

The camp looked very large and there were many people, but the main combatants who actually went to the battlefield, the knights and soldiers combined, were no more than five or six hundred people, and the rest were logistics teams composed of people from neighboring areas. As a personal servant, Earl Ancus is considered rich and has a relatively complete team of knights.

Think about the two teams of Duke Kalljadha I saw in Tamir. Those are serious troops. The difference in strength between the Duke and the Earl is really too big.

I don't know if there are still troops left in the territory that have not been sent out.

After rendezvous with the team, we continued to waste half a day. After lunch, we packed up the camp and prepared to cross the border to rendezvous with our allies.

Bai Tongtong really couldn't stand this procrastinating efficiency, she didn't have any sense of urgency, her impatience was all written on her face, and the young master of the Ankus family, Yulusi, who had dealt with her before, couldn't bear to see her expression. Dare to go up and talk to her.

It was hard for the whole team to set out on the road. Except for the horsemen and the carts pulling supplies, the soldiers and the logistics brigade with the largest number walked on two legs, which again slowed down their progress.The allies who came to respond erected a tall flagpole across the border, but it took a long time to finally see the pattern on the flag clearly.

This is called a tired.

After the meeting, it is inevitable that the two sides will stay in place for a few 10 minutes for a social event. Bai Tongtong is an ally of the ally that was highlighted, but Bier Gable and Tamir are far away. Not interested, the impression of Bai Tongtong is that the standard must be mentioned together with Wuying Mao.

The shadowless cat's partner is an ally of Earl Ancus, who was helping in the battle. This is good news that can greatly damage the morale of the enemy. The respondent happily led the earl's team back to the lord's manor house.

The lord of this land is the real host, Viscount Cyril.

Regardless of just being a Viscount, the ancestors annexed the front, back, left, and right adjacent land through marriage and various methods. By the generation of the host, he was already the largest landowner in the vicinity. After several generations of careful management, he built an exquisite town. The family is usually in the town, and he only comes to this manor house when there is a battle among the nobles. The open field here is suitable for a battlefield.

Seeing the rural scenery, Bai Tongtong was finally released from his depressed mood. After a brief exchange of greetings with the host, the guests were taken to their guest rooms by the servants, and they could take a walk outside before dinner.

Bai Tongtong took Ah Huang for a walk around the big house. At the beginning, many guests were chatting leisurely outside with the cool summer night breeze blowing. The crowd gradually dispersed. Too lazy to get closer, walking alone farther and farther away from the big house, but always keeping the distance within sight,

Among these people, there were people brought by Earl Ancus' uncle's relatives. From the very beginning, Bai Tongtong wisely did not ask what was the reason for this noble private war. When Viscount Cyril welcomed her, she said I joined because I wanted to see the scenery abroad.

When it was getting dark, bright lights were lit up in each room of the big house, and the servants came outside to invite the guests who were still walking back to the house for dinner.

As the only female guest who came from afar, Bai Tongtong sat in the seat of the hostess. Viscount Cyril apologized full of guilt, because he didn't know that there was a female mage to help out, so the hostess was left at home to take care of the children He promised to call his wife and children to the manor to accompany the guests tomorrow, and sincerely invited Bai Tongtong and Earl Ancus to stay in the town for a few days after the war.

Earl Ancus readily accepted, and Bai Tongtong had no choice but to follow suit, swallowing the helpless sigh along with the dishes.

While Bai Tongtong was enjoying the sumptuous feast full of entanglements, at the same time, Wangdu Presbyterian Home, the street opposite the East Annex Building, walked south with dozens of shops, turned left in a quiet side street, and in an ordinary small restaurant , Principal Hart, in plain clothes, was waiting at a table where a regular customer often sat. In front of him was a simple, half-eaten dinner. appetite.

The doorbell rang softly, and a guest came in. A tall man with long hands and long feet walked up to Principal Hart with a little surprise, bent down and hugged him.

"Principal Hart, long time no see, how are you?"

"Long time no see, Farrell, my child." The old headmaster patted the other person on the shoulder kindly.

The man sat down opposite the principal. The waiter who knew his food preferences came over and simply introduced tonight's dishes, and the order was over. After a few minutes, his dinner was served, and at the same time, Principal Hart also withdrew Dropped the leftover plates and replaced them with tea and snacks.

"The principal is here waiting for me. Is there something urgent?" Farrell asked in a gentle and low voice full of respect, looking like a good student, while eating gracefully.Since it is an acquaintance who is too familiar, some words can be omitted directly.

"Yes. I know you have a heavy workload, so I didn't write to ask you to meet, but came here to wait for you."

"Yes, principal, I have been very busy since the war started on Tamir's side. Now that Tamir's territory has expanded, we have to adjust our diplomatic strategy appropriately. There are endless documents to read and write every day. My assistants complained to me that we should have more staff." Farrell chewed vigorously with puffy cheeks, and he had to go back to work after eating.

Principal Hart smiled empathetically, but the topic remained firmly on the central theme, "Tamir had countless opportunities to annex Kirill in history, but he never did it because he disliked the coldness there. This time Do you know why you changed your mind?"

Farrell swallowed the food in a hurry, and nodded, "According to the information I read, it was Miss Bai who said something to Master Kallya, which made Duke Kallya finally make up his mind."

"Know what she said?"

Farrell shook his head, he really didn't know about this, "I only know that she went to the salt field and picked up a few stones from the salt field before leaving Kaba City and returning to Fan City."

"Yes, that's what she told me, but she didn't say the reason and purpose of picking up those stones. She only said that a series of experiments can be done to draw a conclusion. I think, if all goes well, the reason for annexing Kirill may be I found it."

"Earth mages have always been the providers of resource information in the eyes of the world. Miss Bai helped Tamir win the war, and any advice she gave Duke Kalyadha would listen carefully. Maybe she really knows that besides producing salt, the Salt Lake can also produce Produce what."

"So, that's why I came to you."

"Huh?" Farrell put down the spoon, looked at the old headmaster with gentle eyes, and waited for the next sentence.

"Back then, you were the most eye-catching dual-line magic student. It has been so many years since you graduated, and there have been so many freshmen entering the school with a halo of genius, but none of them was a genius worthy of the name, until Tong Tong Bai appeared. It is the first time in my life that I have seen that she has profound potential at her age, and judging by the talent she has shown, it is very likely that she will become a dual-element magician of alchemy and earth in the future."

"Of course, I also have a strong interest in this schoolgirl. How does the principal want me to help her?"

"I know that suddenly adding her to your scope of work and making you responsible for coordinating her safety has added to your already heavy workload, but she was indeed in danger at that time, and I really didn't A better way is to ask the director directly, hoping that she can get the safest protection and care."

"Principal, if you say that, I will feel that I haven't taken good care of her."

"No, no, of course you know what I mean, you bad boy." Principal Hart looked at his proud student and smiled lovingly.

Farrell shrugged pretending to be innocent, with a soft smile on his lips, "I heard that Miss Bai went abroad to fight with Earl Ancus? Since the principal, you came to me while she was away, obviously you hope that when she comes back Things can be done in time, so let's not waste time, principal, you should tell your wish directly."

"Tongtong's education method is different from school education and traditional master-apprentice education. She moves forward a little bit. After studying for so long, she needs to live a peaceful life so that she can digest what she has learned before. Stuff, and finish those experiments on her experiment list."

"The principal means that he wants her to settle down?"

"She still doesn't have a house of her own. It's not that she doesn't want to settle down, but she doesn't know where to live. In view of some of the experimental results she has shown, I think the city is no longer her first choice. .”

"Her experiment to increase food production." Farrell understood the headmaster's hint, "She needs a place with farmland, preferably a manor in the countryside."

"We must also consider the life characteristics of Wuying Cat. It is a mountain forest animal, and there must be mountains and forests suitable for it to walk around the manor."

"Then first of all, the granary plain is not suitable. And if she wants to do agricultural experiments, it is best to go to a place where the climate is warm and the staple food can be harvested for two seasons. If the experiment in spring fails, it can be repeated in autumn. In this way, the only way to go further south Walk."

"In addition to the climate, life should also be convenient. At least it should be convenient for her to go to nearby towns to replenish her daily necessities instead of leaving her in a remote village."

"Yes, the fertility of the soil should also be taken into consideration. We need to find a traditional agricultural area and an unoccupied idle manor. Well, maybe we can consider the aristocratic territory that the country has taken back because there is no heir."

"The conditions are even more stringent. Is there such a place?" It is difficult for anyone to say no to the conditions Farrell imagined.

"I'll look for it when I go back, and I'll let you know whether it's there or not. Wait for my news." Farrell smiled reassuringly at the principal.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Principal Hart beckoned to the waiter, and at the same time took out his money bag, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, this meal is mine, and when I have a chance in the future, I must Introduce the two of you."

"There must be a chance, principal." Farrell smiled sincerely and looked forward to it.

"She is a good girl who is sensible and gentle. I think you will get along well." The headmaster said as he paid for the meal for the two of them and stood up while supporting the table.

Farrell stood up, his expression froze for a moment, but fortunately he melted in time, without the principal seeing him.

"Of course, I think I will be able to get along with her happily." Farrell nodded with a smile that didn't match his heart.

Principal Hart patted Farrell on the shoulder with relief and happiness, turned and walked out of the small restaurant.

Farrell sat down again and concentrated on eating. The bright white face appeared in his mind, and his appetite disappeared immediately. He made up his mind that if there were social invitations in the future, he must investigate the list of guests.

Although his appetite was gone, Farrell still managed to stuff some food into his stomach, and then hurried back to his office to continue working. By the way, he recalled which shelf he put the materials on noble properties in the document room.

The principal's opinion is good. Throw the cat's companion to the far south, preferably near a certain border. If there is any need in the future, I can turn into Pollock at any time and approach her and her in the name of a smuggler. seduce her.

Although the cat's partner has a bad temper, she is still reliable and reliable when doing things, so she has to choose a good place for her.

Farrell raised the corners of his lips calculatingly.
