Chapter 14 Fighting Wisdom and Bravery

"This bell... is the bandit coming again?"

Not far northwest of Ellington, at the foot of the Ambris Mountains, Aberton, who had just arrived outside a cabin, frowned.

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

"It's here again... The movement has been getting bigger and bigger in recent years..."

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

Vibration, gradually subsided.

Ellington, Lord's House.

Flicking through the ledger left by the tax officer in the lord's mansion, Fiona felt her head hurt.

"In such a barren town, the oil and water of 10,000 gold coins can be dug out a year. Hogg is really cruel..."

Fiona wasn't even sure if the ledger was real or not. According to her knowledge of the tax officer, these guys would definitely be in the middle.

That is to say, the gold coins that Hogg gets from Ellington in a year are at least 15,000 gold coins...

This is the poor and clean Ellington!

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

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 is Tang En!? Get out and die!"

Fiona's face changed greatly: "Oops!"

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

She panicked immediately. If Tang En was here, of course she wasn't afraid, but now Tang En was going to suppress the bandits, but the bandits came here at this time, what should she do?

Ellington's militia has all left, and now Ellington is like a weak sheep, allowing the bandits to bully.

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

Fiona began to grope around the wall in a hurry. Generally speaking, the lord's mansion will prepare many secret rooms to facilitate escape in case of danger.

However, footsteps approached quickly.

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

"boom!"

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

"Huh? It's a girl!"

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 my uncle!"

"presumptuous!"

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

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

Buck's one-eyed stared at Fiona, and he'd never seen anyone as pretty as this chick in all the years he'd traveled.

This chick is set!

"No one dares to touch me in Alinks, so you are worthy of being a hillbilly?"

Fiona raised her slender and fair neck disdainfully, and looked at Buck with contempt: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I wear four kinds of excellent magic equipment, each of which is enough to kill you bastards in seconds. It's automatically triggered whenever someone who is mean to me touches me."

Excellent magic equipment!

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

Buck's breath was a little relieved as he looked and looked at Fiona, especially at her earrings and necklace.

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

Buck stared at Fiona and grinned: "Superior magic equipment will have a very bright elemental light, don't you think I don't know it?"

This time, it was Fiona's turn to feel nervous, but she still forced a sneer and said, "That's because you are too ignorant to hear the name of the constant spell."

Spell constant?

Buck was at a loss. He had never heard of the constant spell.

But after a stalemate for a while, Buck roared with a grim face: "No matter what kind of spell he is constant, you will know if it is true or false, and if you cut off your finger, you can try it for me!"

"what!?"

The subordinate whose name was called suddenly burst into his heart and almost cried: "Brother Buck, why me?"

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

Buck grinned: "Stop talking nonsense and go!"

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

Fiona was even more nervous, she could almost hear her heart beating wildly.

almost……

Fiona counted silently, shaking her right hand slightly, revealing the scroll a little bit.

"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 and him looked at each other for a moment, then slowly and carefully brought the animal skin paper scroll in front of her, placing her left hand directly on it.

Buck took a light breath, stared at Fiona and sneered: "Girl is a good planner! I'm afraid the excellent magic equipment is fake, this magic scroll is your real trump card!"

Finally got hooked...

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

That scroll...

Buck stared at the scroll, the edges were a little yellow, but it was very well maintained. It can be seen that its owner often carried 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, and the other is that it is very powerful and valuable, so it is reluctant to use it.

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

If Buck was a mage, Fiona would definitely not be able to deceive him, because there was no magic fluctuation on the scroll, but unfortunately he was not.

And compared to Fiona, his IQ is also anxious.

"Little girl, are you threatening me—"

"Flamestorm."

Fiona thought of the flame storm that Dunn released yesterday, and she only knew this 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, the whole The lord's mansion will be turned to ashes, I'm just an ordinary person, and I'll be burned to death, but I don't want to die yet, don't force me!"

Buck's face changed greatly: "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-level magic...

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

Buck's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't know whether to gamble or not.

If you win, you just get a beauty.

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

"Little girl, 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? Obviously she and the new lord Dunn are in a group.

It seems... can still deceive to continue...

Fiona's thoughts turned sharply, and she said with a proud face: "Alinks, Golden Rose Family, Fiona Golden Rose, the noble council inspector, come here to confirm whether the new lord Dunn takes office. If I die in Here, the Knights of the House of Lords will trample the whole of Ellington! You don't even want to live!"

Buck took a breath. Although he didn't know what the Golden Rose family was, he knew about the noble council...

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

Buck resigned.

"Miss Fiona, you won."

Buck withdrew his weapon with a gloomy look on his face: "However, Dunn must die."

"Lord Dunn is not here."

How much Fiona hopes Dunn is here at the moment, this kind of enemy, can't he easily solve it with his fingers?

Buck was furious: "What!? Did he know I was coming, so he ran away!?"

"Escape? Cowards run away."

Fiona said sarcastically: "Lord Dunn is not a coward. He has taken the militia to raid your hometown."

"The militia?"

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

Innocent? I still don't know who is naive.

Fiona sneered in her heart. If Mr. Dunn was serious, where would he need other people? I'm afraid that with a wave of my hand, the entire bandit lair can be completely destroyed.

"If that's the case, then I'll wait here for him to come back. Before I kill him, I'll ask you to stay in this room honestly, cut off your finger!"

"exist……"

Why is it yourself again? Severed fingers really want to cry.

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

After Buck finished speaking, he gave Fiona a cold look, and then turned around and left with the others.

Fiona was so scared that a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. She wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but the severed finger and the other person were still staring at her, and she had to continue to maintain the stalemate with them.

At the same time, on Dunn's side, they arrived at the bandit's lair ahead of time.

"Why so fast?"

Elsa was full of doubts, and felt that her feet were very relaxed when walking on the mountain road.

Of course she didn't know that Tang En secretly used a spell in order to hurry up as soon as possible, otherwise at their speed, I'm afraid it's really going to be night.

"The bandits' lair is in front of them. They have built their lair on that hill for several years. We tried to attack before, but they always beat them back."

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

fly up?

Tang En glanced at the hillside several hundred meters high. For ordinary people, it is indeed difficult to break through this kind of cottage that occupies the advantage of the terrain.

But well...

"Ronnie, what are your plans?"

Dunn called Ronnie over.

"Plan? What plan?"

"No plan?"

Tang En frowned and scolded mercilessly: "You have come before the enemy, but as the captain of the militia team, you have no plans at all. How did you become this captain?"

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

"Now," Dunn said with a blank face, "I announce that you have been recruited as my private soldiers. Now, soldier, I want you to lead the charge!"

what! ?

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