Chapter 14

"The bell... Here comes the mountain thief again?"

Not far northwest of Ellington, at the foot of the Ambrose mountains, Alberton, who had just come to a cabin, made a move and frowned.

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

"Here we go again... There has been more and more noise in recent years..."

Muttering to himself, Alberton gritted his teeth, forced himself to resist the impulse to return to Ellington, turned again and walked into the cabin. [e1]

The vibration subsided gradually.

Ellington, Lord's house.

Fiona felt her head ache as she thumbed through the ledger left by the tax official of the Lord's house.

"In such a barren Town, you can dig up 10000 gold coins a year. Hogg is really cruel..."

Fiona was not even sure whether the account book was true. According to her understanding of the tax official, these guys would certainly do something in the middle.

In other words, Hogg gets at least 15000 gold coins from Ellington a year

This is poor and innocent Ellington!

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with the tax rate here... What's the sound?"

Fiona was suddenly stunned. The rapid bell outside the window made her feel uneasy.

Then I heard a loud bang downstairs, followed by a wild roar: "where's Donne? Get out and die!"

Fiona's face changed: "bad!"

She quickly opened the curtains and found that the Lord's house had been surrounded by mountain bandits.

She immediately panicked. Of course she wasn't afraid if Donne was here, but Donne went to suppress the bandits now, but the mountain bandits ran here at this time. What should she do?

Ellington's militia have all left. Now Ellington is like a weak little sheep, bullied by mountain thieves.

"Treasure room? No, it's dangerous there, cabinet? No... secret room... Is there a secret room here?"

Fiona began to fumble on the wall. Generally speaking, the Lord's house will prepare many secret rooms to escape in case of danger.

However, the footsteps approached quickly.

Fiona, who was extremely frightened, calmed down and her eyes fell on the table. She quickly ran over and rolled a piece of animal skin paper into a scroll and held it in her hand.

"Boom!"

The door was kicked open. Fiona turned and shouted, "who is it?"

"Eh? It's a woman!"

Buck was stunned for a moment and said with a wild laugh, "this little beauty is more beautiful than those concubines of buck. I don't know how many times, girl, you are my uncle's!"

"Presumptuous!"

Fiona pretended to be mysterious and said coldly, "I'll see who dares to touch me!"

"Chick, do you want to challenge Lord Buck's patience?"

Buck's one eye was fixed on Fiona. He had never seen such a beautiful girl in all his years.

He's going to fix this chick!

"Nobody dares to touch me in arlinks, just you hick?"

Fiona disdainfully raised her slender white neck and looked at buck contemptuously: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm wearing four excellent magic equipment, and each defense and counterattack force is enough to kill you waste. As long as someone who has an evil heart against me meets me, it will trigger automatically."

Excellent magic equipment!

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

His eyes turned and turned on Fiona, especially on her earrings and necklace. Buck was a little relieved.

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

Buck stared at Fiona and said grimly, "excellent magic equipment will have very bright element light. Don't you think I don't know?"

This time it was Fiona's turn to tighten her heart, but she still forced herself to sneer and said, "that's your name. You've never heard of constant magic."

Spell constant?

Buck was at a loss. He had never heard of magic.

But after a moment of stalemate, Buck roared with a ferocious face: "whatever his magic is constant, whether it's true or false, just try it. Break your finger, you go up and try it!"

"Ah!?"

The man whose name was called had a sudden heart and almost cried, "brother buck, why me?"

"Didn't you want to get Elsa's little * * before? Now there is a beautiful chick like her. Of course, the eldest brother has to take care of you."

Buck said grimly, "stop talking nonsense and go!"

Urged by buck, the severed finger had to go to Fiona.

Fiona became more nervous. She could almost hear her heart beating wildly.

Almost

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

"Stop!"

Buck immediately stopped his broken finger and stared at Fiona's right hand with one eye: "what's in your hand! Take it out!"

Fiona looked at him for a moment, slowly and carefully took the animal skin paper scroll to her body, and put her left hand directly on it.

Buck took a breath of air-conditioning, stared at Fiona and sneered, "girl, good calculation! I'm afraid the excellent magic equipment is fake. This magic scroll is your real card!"

Finally hooked

Fiona breathed a sigh of relief, looked at buck coldly, said nothing, and looked like she would tear the scroll at any time.

The scroll

Buck stared at the scroll. The edge was a little yellow, but it was well maintained. It can be seen that its owner often took it with him, but he never used it.

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

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

If buck is a mage, Fiona can't deceive him, because there's no magic wave on the scroll, but he's not.

And compared with Fiona, his IQ is also anxious.

"Chick, are you threatening me --"

"Flame storm."

Fiona thought of the flame storm released by Donne yesterday. She only knew this spell, so she said coldly: "what I have in my hand is the magic scroll of the fourth level spell flame storm. Tear it open and the whole Lord's house will turn into ashes. I'm just an ordinary person and I will be burned, but I don't want to die yet. Don't force me!"

Buck's face changed. "What --"

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

Fourth order magic

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

Buck's face was uncertain. He didn't know whether to bet.

Win, just get a beauty.

But if you lose, it may be everyone's life.

"Chick, who are you?"

How could a silent and nameless person have such a precious magic scroll? What's more, when was this chick in Hogg's Lord's house? It was obvious that she was with the new Lord Donne.

It seems that... You can continue

Fiona turned her mind and said proudly, "arlinks, the golden rose family, Fiona golden rose, the Ombudsman of the noble Council, come here to confirm whether the new Lord Donne will take office. If I die here, the Knights of the noble Council will level the whole Ellington! You don't want to live!"

Buck took a breath of air conditioning. Although he didn't know what the golden rose family was, he knew the noble Council

He can also recognize Fiona's natural sense of nobility, which is definitely the temperament cultivated by receiving noble education and life since childhood.

Buck retreated.

"Miss Fiona, you won."

Buck took back his weapon and looked gloomy: "but Donne must die."

"Lord Donne is not here."

Fiona hopes that Donne is here now. Isn't it easy for him to move his fingers to solve this enemy?

Buck was furious: "what?! did he know I was coming, so he ran away!?"

"Run away? Cowards run away."

Fiona said sarcastically, "Lord Donne is not a coward. He has taken the militia to attack your hometown."

"Militia?"

Buck was stunned for a moment and suddenly said with a wild smile, "what are you talking about? The new Lord, he plans to take the militia to copy my hometown? Naive, it's so naive!"

Naive? I don't know who is naive.

Fiona sneered. If Lord Donne took it seriously, where would anyone else be needed? I'm afraid it can completely destroy the whole mountain thief's nest with one wave.

"In that case, I'll wait here for him to come back. Before I kill him, please stay in this room honestly, broken finger!"

"In..."

How is it yourself? The severed finger is really going to cry.

"You find another brother. You two stare at her to prevent any movement."

Buck said that and gave Fiona another cold look. Then he turned and left with the others.

Fiona was so frightened that a cold sweat came out on her back. She wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but the broken finger and another person were still staring at her. She had to keep her previous appearance and hold a stalemate with them.

Meanwhile, on Donne's side, they arrived at the mountain thief's nest ahead of time.

"Why so fast?"

Elsa was full of doubts and felt that it was easy to walk on the mountain road.

Of course she didn't know. In order to get on the road as soon as possible, Donne secretly used spells. Otherwise, at their speed, I'm afraid it will be late at night.

"Ahead is the nest of those mountain bandits. They have built a nest on that hill for several years. We tried to attack hard before, but they beat us back every time."

Elsa said angrily, "if only she could fly up."

Fly up?

Donne looked at the hillside hundreds of meters high. For ordinary people, this kind of mountain stronghold that occupies the advantage of terrain is really difficult to break through.

But

"Ronnie, what's your plan?"

Donne called Ronnie.

"Plan? What plan?"

"No plan?"

Donne frowned and scolded mercilessly, "you have come to the enemy, but as the captain of the militia, you have no plans at all. How did you become the captain?"

Ronnie was full of grievances and said angrily, "our task is to maintain law and order in Ellington, not to suppress bandits! That's the task of soldiers! We're just militia!"

"Now," said Donne with an expressionless face, "I announce that you have been called up as my private soldiers. Now, soldier, I want you to take your hair and charge!"

what!?

Ronnie was stunned, this guy, how can he be so shameless!?
