Chapter 182
In the middle of the night, everyone in the Wizards Guild of Fort Town had fallen asleep. Farrell and Harding sneaked in. It was hot in summer, and the windows of most bedrooms were open. Harding followed the smell and found it. Bai Tongtong's bedroom.
Ah Huang woke up when he smelled a familiar smell in his dream. He rushed to the window and grinned at Harding and Farrell to threaten him. Then he moved away reluctantly and signaled them to enter the room. Then he sealed the doors and windows and went to the bed. While waking up Bai Tongtong.
"Master Pollock, why do you always come to the lady's bedroom in the middle of the night?" Bai Tongtong rubbed her eyes, her voice was weak and hoarse.
"Because I can't see anyone." In the dark, Pollock could also find the chair in front of the desk accurately, turned around and sat down facing the side of the bed.
"I think so too." Bai Tongtong stretched out his hand from under the blanket, threw a magical spark to light up the candle on the bedside table, and then wanted to sit up.
Pollock helped her, throwing pillows and cushions behind her, pulling the blanket over her chest to tuck her in, filling her with a half glass of water from the jug on the bedside table, watching her drink, and needing nothing more. With help, he sat back on the chair.
Bai Tongtong let out a long sigh of relief, the internal injury made her always feel the smell of blood in her mouth.
"It's bad luck." Bai Tongtong leaned against the pillow cushion and muttered ventingly.
Pollock crossed his legs, propped his chin on his right hand, and rested his elbow on his lap, just smiling.
"What are you doing here?"
"A visit, of course. That's all."
"The news is really well-informed."
"Not at all. If I hadn't learned about it by accident, I might have heard about it tomorrow."
"Hmph, how humble." Bai Tongtong stroked her chest subconsciously, the tearing and pain caused by the internal injury was still fresh in her memory.
Ah Huang put her front paws on the edge of the bed and told Bai Tongtong that the president had come to visit her, but she had already taken medicine and fell asleep at that time, so the president left quickly.
Patting Ah Huang's head, Bai Tongtong turned his gaze to Pollock, "The president actually came here. From your news channel, do you know what he did after he returned to the capital?"
"He's gone to His Majesty," Pollock replied honestly.
"Hmph, it's true that His Majesty is the cause of everything. Let me tell you why there are so many ordinary people who are not in the circle suddenly appearing here."
Pollock clicked his tongue in embarrassment, "Your Majesty may be out of concern for you? In fact, many people care about you."
"Hey, don't use this trick to coax me. I coax those no-future noble descendants to spend more money here to speak nicely. Don't follow me. Your Majesty will find so many people who have no concept of magic. The man who came here is nothing more than thinking that I am alone and possess great power, arrogant and willful, fearless, and a dangerous humanoid weapon that cannot be controlled. I am married, have a husband and children, so my vigilance will be lowered."
"So you've already figured everything out."
"Put a few sound transmission rune stones in the morning room. Those aristocratic children who don't have the slightest sense of secrecy will say what they should say and what should not be said. I just sit in the office and listen." Bai Tongtong expressed disdain rolled his eyes.
"The original intention of the sound transmission runestone was not to be used for this."
"I know, it's used in the theater, but this magic principle is really a perfect bug. Don't tell me that you have never used it in other occasions. Thanks to the book you gave me , otherwise I don’t know there are so many interesting alchemy experiments.”
"So you've been doing experiments from the book?"
"No, I just changed the magic circle of sound transmission runestones and made something new, but all my hard work this week was gone." Thinking of this, Bai Tongtong blushed and his neck thickened.
"Calm down, calm down, that idiot believes he has learned his lesson, don't be mad at yourself anymore."
"Let me teach you a lesson. Ah Huang just tore his clothes. He didn't hurt a bit of his fur. It's amazing that I was a little frightened. My loss would be a big loss, okay? If it wasn't for the protection of the robe and the president's ring, I would almost let him The out-of-control elements are cut into pieces!" There is a small defensive magic circle in the robe, which can be triggered with a little magic power, providing a certain degree of protection, so magicians and students are used to using the robe as a magic circle. He usually wears casual clothes and usually does not take them off, and Bai Tongtong only changes into mercenary clothes when he is practicing against Ah Huang every day.
"Then do you want me to avenge you? A small landlord who is not in the inner circle of the family. It is easy to let him go bankrupt."
"Your calm tone makes it so easy for people to go bankrupt. Do you often do this?"
"Because you have the hope of becoming my big customer."
"Ah, I suddenly feel flattered."
"Although your tone sounds like you are mocking me, do you want to take revenge?"
"Of course." Bai Tongtong's face pulled, "Don't think that offending me can still be nothing, just say sorry and it's over."
"Then how do you want to deal with him? With his family property, bankruptcy is the most straightforward."
"There are many ways to manipulate bankruptcy. Don't play him behind the scenes. Otherwise, idlers with good things will definitely contact me and spread the word to damage my reputation."
"Do you have a better way?"
"Of course, if you want to do it, you have to do it aboveboard and sue him directly in the noble court. Because he trespassed on the laboratory building, ignorantly screamed, destroyed my hard-working experiment, and was injured. If the body is affected by it, If he can’t pass the next month’s trial, I have to skin him.”
"Hmm, this method is good, it is indeed aboveboard, and will get the sympathy and support of the judge. It's just that after the news of the accusation spreads, your guild may not be as lively as it is now, and most men will shrink back to their territory. Come out again."
"If this is really possible, that would be really great. The poor should stop swollen faces and pretend to be fat. The transfer fee is not cheap. Save that little money and find a woman to live in your hometown. Don't come to disrupt the order here. Yes. To be honest, it's really hard to entertain guests who don't know anything about magic."
"That's right, the guild still mainly serves magicians. Among the irrelevant outsiders, it is enough to keep a few regular customers."
"Well, in the future, we need to manage the daily order of the guild more strictly. It may be a month after I leave next month. If someone messes around while I am away, it will be troublesome."
"I heard that one month is the maximum deadline, and some people come back after completing tasks in a few days. If you go out for too long, you will accumulate a lot of work."
"I think so too, but the topic is drawn by lottery. God knows what task you will get."
"Make more life-saving runestones of different types, you should be very skilled at doing this."
"The life-saving runestones are almost done. Everyone said that magic pets are not allowed in the trial. The mages also said that it is fortunate that Ah Huang and I did not sign a contract, otherwise I would have lost this opportunity."
"Of course, a common concept in the circle is that newcomers are not in favor of bringing magic pets. Borrowed power is borrowed after all. If the magic pet is killed in battle, the master's magic power will immediately return. At his true level, if he is panicked and has insufficient escape experience, he will die faster."
"Uh……"
Ah Huang let out a soft growl in agreement.
"The promotion of mages before the third level mainly depends on honing their own abilities, and the promotion standards after the third level increase the requirements for academic research results, so the third level is a dividing line between having a magic pet or not."
"No wonder there are few magicians with magic pets, and even if they do, the minimum is level three."
"The advantage of bringing a magic pet is that the borrowed powerful power can be more handy when doing experiments. The continuous flow of power will not let the experiment fail halfway. But this is not absolute, otherwise it will not be possible. It will be like now, the majority of mages without magic pets, they believe that their own strength is enough, and they don’t need to rely on external forces. Warriors like to raise magic pets, which is equivalent to adding a strong arm to themselves, single-handedly Dare to face a powerful enemy."
"Among the fighters I've seen, no one has a magic pet."
"Among the soldiers you've seen, how many can openly disclose their identities? Don't talk about the palace guards. The little soldier's salary is only enough to buy one of the cheapest ones without eating or drinking for three to five years."
"Well, only the Knight Commander, and no one else can be counted." The master and the others specialize in secret missions. Bringing a magic pet is equivalent to labeling themselves easily identifiable. Of course, they would not do such a stupid thing. of.
"He is now the leader of the Knights, which proves that he has enough fighting power. It is his confidence that he does not bring a magic pet. As long as he wants, he can buy a domesticated high-grade monster at any time."
"Well, if the men in the future can meet the standards of that regiment leader, maybe I'll show them some respect."
"What? Hasn't the leader been here? His family's territory is not too far from here. Although his income is limited, he can still come a few times a month, and I believe his family will fully support him. He pays for what is needed."
"You don't need to say that people are so poor, do you?"
"The leader of a private knight order of a nobleman is not as rich as you. How much money did you make from the goods you brought back from the Kingdom of Giles?"
"I didn't earn much, I paid a lot of commission."
"Don't pretend to be pitiful. The money you buy is not in your own pocket at all. No matter how much commission you pay, every copper coin left is your profit."
"If you want to say that, then you have mistyped the metaphor."
"Okay, let's change another one. Every time you sell a batch of sticky notes, so many boxes go out, how much can you earn in addition to all the costs? How many times can you ship goods a month? The little group leader is the real one in front of you." the poor."
"Well, apart from having a good figure, that man seems to have no other advantages. A man who is poorer than me seems a bit unreliable."
"That's really bad. To be as rich as you, you have to be in good shape. I'm afraid I can't find a suitable one in the circle. The male mages of your age are already married." Pollock touched his chin, really Search in my mind for unmarried mages who meet the requirements.
"I beg you, male mages who can maintain a normal figure after the age of 30 are already a rare breed, you must not attract me strange men, this is over, don't think about it anymore They put a man on me and made me anxious, so I took Ah Huang to seek refuge in another country."
Ah Huang snorted, with an expression of Bai Tongtong going wherever he went.
Pollock was helpless, "You're not serious, are you?"
"You think I'm joking? When have you ever seen me joking around? I'm Baron Salter now, and I have a territory, and I've found the construction guild of Soller City to do an overall renovation design for the village, using my toes When I think about it, I can probably know how much it will cost, because I am single now, so I am worried about me, and I am afraid that if I mess around, then I will notify the other side to cancel tomorrow, and I will quit, so what if I have a territory? I don’t spend a copper coin, and when the time comes, I hand in a letter of resignation, pat my ass and leave, who can stop me? Or if I only invest money in the construction of Wismar, I think His Majesty Canus must Glad I did."
"Calm down, don't think so. It's not worth making a big joke about such a small matter until it's time to tear your face. Let's stop talking about this matter." Pollock decided to find an opportunity tomorrow to remind His Majesty .
"Humph!"
"Okay, okay, don't make such a scary expression, if you really run away, the king of Rebjanik will first wake up from his dream with a smile."
"It's none of my business." Bai Tongtong folded his arms, "If you want me to play a role, don't hold me back. The rich and powerful don't do their business, and they are so lenient in their business."
"You're still doing business. You don't need to say a word to call them trash. What you did on the border of Mazio has not been fully completed yet. The Rebjaniks will find you out there sooner or later. Bad breath."
"Hey, the military camps I demolished are all in the territory of Mazio. The Rebjaniks built their military camps on other people's land. Even if they know that I did it, so what, they still dare to settle accounts with me, just right My new explosives have not been used for so long, and I don't mind repeating the scene of blowing up Kirill last year on their soil."
"They don't necessarily want to use force to retaliate against you. They also have a magic academy in my country to train their own magicians, but this school in our country is more famous and has more students."
"That's even better, magician to magician, and you don't have to say that I use magic to bully soldiers."
"Magic students versus magicians. If you want to have a duel between magicians, you have to pass the promotion test."
"Hey, okay, I'll find out when the trial is over."
"The results of the trial only determine whether you are eligible to take the promotion test, and it does not mean that you will definitely pass the test. Don't be too careless."
"Okay, I got it." Bai Tongtong waved his hands impatiently, and yawned with his head raised.
"You rest, I'm leaving, I'll come to you next time I have business."
Ah Huang immediately dispelled the magic and restored the doors and windows.
"It's easy to leave." Bai Tongtong waved her hand, blinking her tearful eyes as she watched Pollock and Harding fly out of the window.
Ah Huang threw herself in front of the window to confirm that they had indeed gone far before returning to Bai Tongtong's bed.
Bai Tongtong punched Ah Huang's face with both hands, his expression full of doubts, "That bastard Pollock, why did his last sentence sound like Farrell just now?!"
