"The bell rings...... The bandits are coming again? ”

Not far northwest of Ellington, at a foot of the Ambries Mountains, Alberton, who had just arrived outside a log cabin, moved and frowned.

As soon as he turned around, the ground behind him suddenly shook.

"Here we go again...... In recent years, the movement has become bigger and bigger......"

Alberton muttered to himself, gritted his teeth, forcibly resisted the urge to return to Ellington, turned again, and walked into the cabin. [e1]

The tremors gradually subsided.

Ellington, Lord's House.

Flipping through the ledgers left behind by the tax collector in the lord's mansion, Fiona felt her head hurt.

"In such a barren town, you can dig up 10,000 gold coins of oil and water a year, Hogg is really ruthless......

Fiona wasn't even sure if the ledger was real, and based on what she knew about the tax officer, these guys would definitely be in the middle.

In other words, Hogg gets at least 15,000 gold coins a year from Ellington......

This is poor and innocent Ellington!

"I'm afraid there's a problem with the tax rate here...... What was that? ”

Fiona was stunned for a moment, and the rush of the bell outside the window made her feel uneasy.

Then I heard a loud bang downstairs, followed by a wild roar: "Where's Donn!?" Get out of here and die! ”

Fiona's face changed drastically: "Oops! ”

She hurriedly opened the curtains and found that the lord's mansion was surrounded by bandits.

She immediately panicked, if Don En was here, of course she was not afraid, but Don En went to suppress the bandits now, but the bandits ran here at this time, what should she do?

Ellington's militia had all left, and now Ellington was like a weak little sheep at the mercy of the bandits.

"Treasure room? No, it's dangerous there, cabinets? No way...... Chamber...... Is there a secret room here? ”

Fiona began to fumble around the walls, and in general, the lord's mansion would prepare a lot of secret rooms to facilitate escape in case of danger.

However, footsteps quickly approached.

Fiona, who was terrified, calmed down, her eyes fell on the table, and she quickly ran over and rolled a piece of vellum paper into a scroll and held it in the palm of her hand.

"Boom!"

The door was kicked open, and Fiona turned and shouted, "Who!?" ”

"Huh? It's a! ”

Buck was stunned for a moment, and laughed wildly: "This little beauty is many times more beautiful than Buck's concubines, little girl, you are Uncle Ben!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Fiona pretended to be false and said coldly: "I want to see who dares to touch me!" ”

"Chick, are you trying to challenge Lord Buck's patience?"

Buck's one-eyed eyes were on Fiona, he had never seen a few chicks so beautiful in all the years he had traveled before.

He's going to decide this chick!

"No one dares to touch me in Alink, so you are a hillbilly?"

Fiona raised her slender white neck disdainfully, and looked at Buck with contempt: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I wear four kinds of super-level magical equipment, each of which is enough to kill you people in an instant, as long as someone with ill intentions towards me touches me, it will be automatically triggered." ”

Exceptional level of magic equipment!

Buck's heart tightened, and he subconsciously stopped, and called the little brother beside him.

Buck breathed a sigh of relief as his eyes rolled and turned over Fiona, especially on her earrings and necklace.

"I only have one eye left, but I'm not blind."

Buck stared at Fiona and grinned, "Excellence-level magic equipment will have a very bright elemental light, you don't think I don't know it, do you?" ”

This time it was Fiona's turn to tense up, but she still sneered forcefully, "That's because you're too lonely to hear of the name of the constant spell." ”

Spell constant?

Buck was at a loss, he really hadn't heard of spell constancy.

However, after a moment of stalemate, Buck roared with a hideous face: "It doesn't matter what spell he has constantly, just try it if it's true or not, cut off your finger, you can try it for me!" ”

"Huh!?"

The subordinates who were called by their names had a sudden burst in their hearts and almost cried: "Brother Buck, why me?" ”

"Didn't you want to get Elsa's little ** before? Now there is a chick as beautiful as her, and of course the big brother will take care of you. ”

Buck sneered, "Less nonsense, go quickly!" ”

Prompted by Barker, the severed finger had no choice but to walk towards Fiona.

Fiona was even more nervous, and she could almost hear her heart pounding.

Almost......

Fiona counted silently, and with a slight shake of her right hand, she exposed the scroll a little bit outward.

"Stop!"

Buck immediately stopped the severed finger and stared at Fiona's right hand with one eye: "What's in your hand!" Take it out! ”

Fiona stared at him for a moment, then slowly and carefully took the vellum scroll in front of her, placing her left hand directly on it.

Buck took a light breath of cold air, stared at Fiona and sneered, "The girl is so calculating! I'm afraid that the magic equipment of the excellent level is fake, and this magic scroll is your real hole card! ”

Finally hooked......

Fiona secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Buck coldly, without saying a word, looking like she would tear the scroll at any moment.

The scroll......

Buck stared at the scroll, the edges were already a little yellow, but it was very well maintained, and it was evident that its owner often carried it with him, but never used it.

There are only two reasons, one is that its owner did not encounter the need to use it, and the other is that it is very powerful and valuable, so it is reluctant to use it.

Whatever the reason, it's not a good thing for Buck at the moment.

If Buck was a mage, Fiona wouldn't be able to fool him, because there wasn't a bit of magic fluctuation on the scroll, but unfortunately he wasn't.

And compared to Fiona, his IQ is also anxious.

"Chick, are you threatening me-"

"Firestorm."

Fiona thought of the Flame Storm she saw Tang En release yesterday, and she only knew this one spell, so she said coldly: "What I have in my hand is the magic scroll of the fourth-order spell Flame Storm, tear it open, and the entire Lord's Mansion will turn into ashes, I am just an ordinary person, I will also be burned to death, but I don't want to die yet, don't force me!" ”

Barker's face changed drastically: "What-"

Buck's men became even more nervous, although they didn't know what the fourth-order spell Firestorm was, but they knew that the fireball spell was a first-order spell, and the fireball spell could easily burn a person to ashes.

Fourth-Order Spell ......

Oh my God, isn't that powerful enough to scare people to death?

Buck's face was cloudy, and he didn't know whether to bet on it or not.

If you win, you just get a beautiful woman.

But losing, it could be everyone's life.

"Chick, who are you?"

How could an unknown person possess such a precious magic scroll? What's more, when did this chick exist in Hogg's lord's mansion? It was clear that she was in league with the new lord, Donn.

Seemingly...... Can you still deceive and continue......

Fiona's mind was in a hurry, and she said with a haughty face: "Alink, the Golden Rose family, Fiona Golden Rose, the Inspector of the Noble Council, is here to confirm whether the new lord Don has taken office. If I die here, the Knights of the Council of Nobles will level all of Ellington! Don't try to live! ”

Buck took a breath of cold air, although he didn't know what the Golden Rose family was, but he knew about the noble council......

He could also recognize the natural sense of nobility in Fiona, which was definitely the temperament cultivated by receiving aristocratic education and life since childhood.

Buck retreated.

"Miss Fiona, you won."

Buck withdrew his weapon, his face gloomy: "However, Don must die." ”

"Lord Don isn't here."

Fiona wished that Don was here at this time, this kind of enemy, he couldn't easily solve it with his fingers?

Buck was furious: "What!? Didn't he know I was coming, so he fled!? ”

"Escape? Cowards will run away. ”

Fiona said sarcastically, "Lord Don is not a coward, he has already led the militia team to raid your hometown. ”

"Militia?"

Buck was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed wildly: "What did you say? The new lord, he plans to take the militia team to raid my hometown? Naive, so naïve! ”

Naive? I don't know who was naïve yet.

Fiona sneered in her heart, if Donne-sama is serious, where is the need for others? I'm afraid that with a wave of my hand, I can completely destroy the entire bandit lair.

"In that case, then I'll wait here for him to come back, and before I kill him, I'll trouble you to stay in this room honestly, severed finger!"

"In ......"

How is it yourself again? Severed fingers are really going to cry.

"You find another brother, and you two keep an eye on her to prevent any movement."

After Buck finished speaking, he stared at Fiona coldly again, and then turned around and left with the others.

Fiona was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on her back, and she wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but Severed Finger and the other person were still staring at her, and she had to continue to stalemate with them as before.

At the same time, on Donn's side, they rushed to the bandits' lair ahead of time.

"How is it so fast?"

Elsa was full of doubts, feeling that her feet were so easy when she walked the mountain road.

Of course, she didn't know that Tang En secretly used a spell in order to hurry as soon as possible, otherwise with their speed, she was afraid that it would really be night.

"There's the bandits' lair ahead, they've been building a lair on that hill for years, we've tried to storm it before, but they've been beaten back every time."

Elsa said a little indignantly, "If only I could fly up." ”

Fly up?

Tang En glanced at the slope of the mountain a few hundred meters high, for ordinary people, this kind of cottage that occupies the advantage of terrain is indeed difficult to break.

But well......

"Ronnie, what's your plan?"

Donn called Ronnie over.

"Plans? What is the plan? ”

"No plan?"

Tang En frowned, and scolded mercilessly: "You have come to the enemy, but as the captain of the militia, you have no plan at all, how did you become the captain?" ”

Ronnie was full of grievances and said indignantly: "Our mission is only to maintain law and order in Ellington, not to suppress bandits!" That's the soldier's mission! We're just militia! ”

"Now," Don said with a blank face, "I declare that you have been drafted as my private soldiers, and now, soldier, I want you to take the lead in the charge!" ”

What the!?

Ronnie was dumbfounded, how could this guy be so shameless!?

The reason why Alberton lived in seclusion in Ellington
