"What did you say?"

Don suspected he had misheard.

"You heard you right, because you saved a lot of people, and you also helped Captain Ronnie fight off the bandits, so the lord decided to feast you two in the evening."

The captain of the private army said with a straight face: "It's about to be dinner time, please prepare and go to the lord's mansion for a banquet." ”

Helped Ronnie fight off the bandits?

Don En was speechless, and Fiona was even more angry: "It's shameless, it's obviously Tang En's credit, you dare to blatantly rob him of his credit!" ”

The captain of the private army directly ignored Fiona, glanced at Donn, and after a few turns of his greedy gaze on the Extreme Life Potion, he left directly.

Tang En was thoughtful, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Interesting." ”

Fiona said in a deep voice, "That lord must have something else in mind. ”

"Of course, his private captain looked extremely effective...... The greedy gaze of the Goddess's Blood had already revealed their thoughts. ”

Tang En shrugged his shoulders, crying and laughing in his heart, he never expected that he would be coveted by others because of a bottle of life potion.

At this time, Don En saw Illya running over quickly, the little girl seemed to be in a hurry, and almost fell to the ground, Don En quickly stepped forward to help her.

Illya blushed, and then said writhingly: "Big brother, Uncle Alberton is back, Sister Elsa said he wants to see you, so don't leave here yet." ”

"Uncle Alberton?"

"It's Elsa's dad."

Illya said with envy: "I don't have parents and fathers, and I usually take care of them thanks to Uncle Alberton and Aunt Clara." ”

Tang En was stunned for a moment: "Are you an orphan?" ”

Illya looked at Don very strangely: "No, I have Sister Elsa." ”

Tang En was stunned, patted Illya's head after a moment, and said with a smile: "Well, that's right, I will also be your family in the future, and I will also take care of you and protect you." ”

Illya blushed when she heard this, and lowered her head to play with her fingers, her face twisted.

Does the big brother want to marry Elijah? But, it's a little too early, they're only twelve years old, and besides, I haven't liked my big brother yet...... But if he really said that, what would Elijah do?

When Elijah cleared her mind and mustered up the courage to reject Donn, at least temporarily, she found that Donn was gone.

The little girl was suddenly deflated.

Don didn't notice Illya's anomaly, he had already seen Elsa, so he walked over.

The middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life walking beside Elsa must be Elsa's father, Alberton.

"Brother Donne, this is my dad Alberton!"

Elsa happily introduced Donne: "Dad, this is Donne's eldest brother who has saved many people." ”

After staring at Don for a while, Alberton stepped forward with a cautious face, and just as Don wondered what he wanted to do, suddenly, Alberton actually knelt down on one knee in front of Done!

Elsa, Elia, and the surrounding residents were stunned.

"Daddy!?"

Elsa exclaimed, "What are you doing!?" ”

Alberton bowed his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "I, Alberton, thank Lord Donn for the mercy of Lord Don on behalf of all the inhabitants of Ellington. ”

Don, and Fiona, who was busy not far away, were dumbfounded.

The two looked at each other and said that they would keep it secret, why was this exposed?

Elsa and Illya were even more dumbfounded, stupid there.

There was an uproar around, what did Abaddon just say? Suzerain? The man who rescued Ellington turned out to be a lord!?

"How is that possible...... How could the nobles come to the rescue of us civilians, it must have been mistaken. ”

"Did Alberton read it wrong?"

Tang En raised his forehead and sighed, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask, "You know me?" ”

"I just got back from Alinkes."

Hearing what Alberton said, Don understood that the news of his purchase of the territory had spread in Alinks, so Alberton heard it.

He was a little helpless, he originally wanted to hide his identity and look around in Ellington, but now it's good, once his identity is revealed, many things can't be seen.

"If our new lord is you, I'm afraid we won't have to worry about anything."

Alberton smiled, "A lord who is willing to use such a precious treasure to heal the common people, I am sure that you will be able to rule Ellington well." ”

"Let's get up first......"

Don helped Abton up, and his actions undoubtedly told those around him that what Alberton said was the truth.

Donn, really the new lord of Ellington.

That's a lot of strength!

A look of surprise flashed in Aberton's eyes, who was helped up by Don.

Not far away, Hogg's private soldiers were all dumbfounded when they saw such an unbelievable turn, and after being stunned for a moment, they immediately ran back to report the news to Hogg.

"What!?"

Hogg was furious: "You said that the alchemist who took out the blood of the goddess is the new lord!?" ”

"That's what Abton said, we didn't see him take out the lord's letter of appointment."

"That guy from Alberton is back from Alinks too......"

Hogg had a gloomy face, and after thinking for a while, he said coldly: "None of you have heard this news, none of us know that he is the new lord, understand?". ”

"My lord, are you going to ......?"

Hogg smiled grimly: "The new lord was killed by bandits on his way to his mission...... Isn't that very much in line with Ellington's current situation? ”

The others laughed knowingly.

In the square, Don learns from Alberton about the problems that Ellington now faces, heavy taxes, miserly and greedy lords, and bandits who often come to raid...... Not even the richest city could stand this, let alone Ellington being a remote town.

The land here is not barren, but it is not very rich, and the frequent bandits are very much affected by farming, and a greedy lord takes eighty percent of the crops as taxes, and the inhabitants here are all to be fed, let alone protect Ellington.

When Donn entered Ellington, most of the people he saw were yellow-skinned and malnourished, but the militia was relatively good, after all, they relied on them to maintain law and order and protect the town.

Hogg's private soldiers were in significantly better condition.

Donn found that if he was to secure his position in Ellington, the first thing he had to do was to feed them.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Since the bandits are so rampant, why didn't the lord lead the soldiers to exterminate them?" ”

Alberton smiled and said, "Of course, how could he not act?" If there really is no movement at all, how can the Council of Nobles let him continue to sit here? ”

"However, action is action, and whether the bandit is effective or not is another matter."

Alberton said meaningfully: "Every time I led people to the bandits' lair, it was empty, there was no one left, only some plundered wealth, and after Lord Hogg had looted that wealth, some of them paid tribute and declared the success of the bandits, and the other part was filled into his own treasury......"

Don narrowed his eyes: "You mean ......"

"I didn't say anything."

Alberton shrugged: "What to do, it's up to you." ”

"Your Lord."

Fiona walked over: "The wounded have all been dealt with, a total of 352 seriously injured and 448 lightly injured, and now they are all healed, and there is still more than half a bucket of diluted goddess blood, I have asked someone to fill it for later use." ”

The diluted ones still have to be refilled......

Don was speechless, Fiona was too good at living.

After Fiona reported the situation, she said with a look of adoration: "But Lord Lord, you have used such a precious treasure to treat them, and now the residents of Ellington are very friendly to you, and when you take office, there will be little resistance to the implementation of the policy." ”

Tang En nodded noncommittally, and then said, "It's almost time, accompany me to the banquet." ”

"To a feast?"

Fiona was taken aback, "My lord, are you really going to sit down with that guy for dinner?" I'm afraid this will have a big impact on your prestige in the hearts of the residents! ”

Tang En smiled: "Don't worry...... They'll understand. ”

If you want to take the first step, of course, you have to "have a good talk" with this Hogg to get a "political start-up fund".

Don believed that once the news of his blackmail of Hogg spread, it would definitely make the residents of Ellington breathe a bad breath, and if he launched some policies to benefit the people at the right time, he would definitely sit in this position immediately.

As for the development after that......

Tang En laughed, with the knowledge he had learned on Earth, his broad vision and forward-looking, it was not easy to develop a territory?

Now, Hogg is his stepping stone.

"Uncle Alberton."

Ronnie ran over, saw Donne's departing back, frowned slightly, and said disdainfully: "This guy is sneaky, he must not be a good person, I must arrest him and interrogate him later...... Why are you looking at me like that? ”

Ronnie found that the people around him looked at him very strangely, and he felt a little strange in his heart.

"Ronnie, don't be disrespectful to your lord!"

Elsa shouted, "Your Excellency has taken out a precious treasure to treat everyone, how can you slander him like this?" ”

"He? Your Excellency? ”

Ronnie's face was incredulous: "Elsa, what are you kidding me?" If he were a lord, I would be His Majesty the King of Illuth! ”

"It's superficial! Elijah, let's go! ”

Elsa shook her hair and went home with Illya.

After watching Don leave, Alberton said to Ronnie: "Don is our new lord, don't be rude to him, I'll go back first, don't disturb me these days." ”

After saying that, Alberton also left.

Ronnie's face turned extremely bad, what kind of trick did this damn Don do? How could he be a lord?

Sorcery!

He must have used some vicious sorcery to deceive everyone!

No way! I'm going to expose him!
