Chapter 3 The Attack on Ellington

Fiona and Dunn had a good chat.

So it is difficult for her to understand Dunn's thoughts.

In her opinion, it is something to be proud of when a person has such a powerful power, but Dunn doesn't seem to think so.

He clearly has such a powerful strength, but he is very approachable.

This surprised Fiona even more.

Dunn glanced at Fiona's goods, frowned and asked, "What about your goods?"

Fiona is also very embarrassed. These goods are her last capital. She originally planned to pass through Ellington and then take a detour to the north side of Fort Casparmi to try her luck to see if she can turn over, but now everyone is dead. , she is the only one left, and there is no way to take these things away no matter what.

Dunn asked, "Are you a businessman?"

"That's right!"

Fiona said very proudly: "I am a member of the Golden Rose Family!"

"Golden Rose Family..."

Dunn thought about it for a while before he remembered that in the background of the game, this was a huge chamber of commerce that accompanied the rise of the Illus Empire. It used to be all over the places that Plandal had already explored, but unfortunately it has completely disappeared now. .

Fiona may be the last member of the Golden Rose family.

"I'm afraid you're in a very bad situation now. In that case, how about I hire you as Ellington's chief business advisor?"

Dunn knows that the development of the territory is inseparable from all kinds of talents. Now he has no one else to use. Since Fiona has the ability in this area, he should find a way to keep her - and depending on her attitude, I am afraid she Happy to do so too.

"I am very honored!"

Fiona was really pleasantly surprised, this is probably her only chance now!

Although Ellington is a very remote and desolate place, the area is equivalent to an earldom. If there is support from a lord like Dunn, will Ellington still be what it is now?

"If that's the case, then put your goods here first."

After Dunn finished speaking, the mage lifted the goods and put them all into his backpack.

"Space equipment!"

Fiona was shocked again, but on second thought, although space equipment is very precious, Dunn is such a powerful magician, and it is not surprising to have space equipment, so he quickly accepted it.

Tang En said: "From now on, you are my chief advisor."

"Understood, my lord."

"Just call me Dunn."

"That would be rude."

"Okay, wake up the driver, it's really hard for him to be dizzy for so long."

After waking up the coachman, the coachman was naturally puzzled by the disappearance of the bandits, but he didn't ask much. He was very fortunate to be able to get his life back, so Dunn and Fiona got on the carriage and continued to go. Ellington departs.

On the carriage, the dull atmosphere made Fiona uneasy. She looked at Dunn who was silent, and after a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Lord Lord, why did you choose to be the lord of Ellington? ?"

Tang En opened his eyes and asked with great interest, "Why is there such a problem?"

"Because Ellington is very large and is the largest existing unclaimed territory in Illus, but because it is relatively remote and adjacent to the border, the nearby Ladia Forest and Ambris Mountains limit the development of Ellington. Space, even Kaspammy to the north is a better choice than Ellington."

"Kaspami is good, but Ellington is not as bad as you said," Dunn shrugged, "At least in my opinion, the rich mineral resources and natural resources in Ellington are other territories. do not have."

Fiona smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Lord, you are really optimistic. I'm afraid you won't be so happy when you get there."

"The poorer you are, the more room you have for your value, isn't it?"

"...I try my best!"

Dunn smiled without saying a word, and soon Fiona would know why he was so confident.

In the eyes of the aborigines, Ellington is naturally a very remote place, but in the eyes of the players it is different. The aborigines do not know what is in the Ambris Mountains, but Dunn knows it clearly. The main city of dwarves and gnomes Just in the Ambris Mountains, in the emerald forest to the southwest is the emerald corolla, the royal city of the elves, and not long to the east is the main city of human beings, Alinks, which can be called a transportation hub.

When you connect with dwarves, you can get very rich mineral resources. The forest next to it is an inexhaustible forest resource, and there are large undeveloped land. In the game, there are many players of various races trading here. Here is a An uncompromising treasure.

Of course, a game is a game, and reality is reality. Dunn can't guarantee that this world is exactly the same as the game world. Now he can only move forward cautiously.

After crossing the last hill, the front suddenly opened up, and a silver-white ribbon crossed the plain and flowed into the distance. It was the Emerald River flowing from the Ambris Mountains. Next to it was the Ladia Forest, and a small town was located on the upper reaches of the river. A place adjacent to a forest.

There, that is Ellington.

That's right, the huge territory of Ellington, its administrative center is such a small town.

Fiona glanced at Dunn, wanting to see some disappointment on his face, but she only saw excitement and happiness.

Dunn noticed Fiona's sight and said with a smile, "I wonder why I am so happy?"

Fiona nodded embarrassedly.

Tang En thought for a while, then smiled: "Let me tell you a story."

Fiona focused immediately.

"In a faraway country, there was an ordinary person who accidentally got a huge sum of money worth 5... 10,000 gold coins."

"Fifty thousand gold coins!"

Fiona was amazed: "It's really a huge sum of money for an ordinary person, and then what? Did he use the money to do business and become a noble?"

"Someone asked him, what are you going to do with the 50,000 gold coins? The man said that he planned to buy a house in the suburbs of Wangcheng and pay a down payment."

Fiona was stunned for a moment: "Buying a house? Down payment"

Tang En continued: "Some people continue to ask, what about the rest? The rest? The person said, the rest will be paid slowly."

Fiona was at a loss, apparently not understanding.

Tang En sighed, with a dull look on his face: "In a world that doesn't understand cold jokes, life is really lonely as snow..."

Fiona lowered her head embarrassedly. In front of Dunn, she felt very ignorant.

Dunn looked out the window. Beneath the calm surface, there was an excited heart.

land!

Such a large piece of land, an endless land, all belong to him!

Here, he is the king of this land!

You can let him sway his pen and ink and display his ideas to the fullest!

Don't worry about anyone!

"However, it's a bit strange that the residents of Ellington start to cook so early."

Dunn looked at the smoke over the town and wanted to scratch his head.

Fiona took a closer look and was shocked: "That's not cooking smoke! It's the town on fire!"

Tang En was stunned: "What!?"

Fiona immediately urged the driver to speed up, and said at the same time, "The smoke cannot be blackened, and seeing a lot of people gathered around the town, something must have happened!"

Tang En was immediately unhappy: "Someone will make trouble before I take over the territory of Lao Tzu!?"

Fiona hesitated and said, "Because Ellington is too remote, the law and order is very bad, and there are often bandits and robbers..."

"Where's the current lord? Where's the sheriff? Where's the militia? Do they all eat rice!?"

Fiona sighed, some things are too straightforward for her to say. When Ellington comes, Dunn will know the real situation.

Soon the carriage arrived near Ellington, but the coachman said nothing and would not come any closer. After Dunn paid the fare to dismiss the coachman, he walked towards Ellington with a gloomy face and Fiona.

Before entering the town, I already heard the howls and unbridled laughter coming from the town.

"Child! My child!"

"Hahaha - go to hell! Gold coins! Food! Women! It's all ours!"

Fiona looked pale, and subconsciously hid behind Tang En, looking at the man in front of her, she felt a little at ease, knowing that with him there, she would be able to protect herself.

After all, he is such a powerful magician!

The ground of the town was full of blood and viscera, and the dead residents stared at Dunn, as if to condemn him for coming so late.

Tang En took a deep breath, the thick smoke made his lungs hurt, and his eyes were slightly moist: "Damn these robbers."

In a word, they were sentenced to death for these people.

"Follow me."

Suspended fireballs suddenly appeared beside Dunn, walking towards the center of the town.

"Huh!? There are rebels?"

At the moment when the voice sounded, a bandit suddenly rushed out from the side, and a cold light slashed at Tang En's neck!

clang!

Dunn grabbed the long sword.

The bandit was stunned for a moment.

empty handed?

Grab a sword?

He's actually fine! ?

"Go to hell—"

As soon as Tang En snapped his fingers, the flame erupted directly, instantly burning the bandit to ashes!

A strong wind came from behind, Tang En slapped backhand, and the ghost blade formed by the condensed magic made a sharp and rapid whistling sound!

"Bang!"

The bandit attacked from behind, his head exploded like a watermelon.

Tang En sighed: "You still want to attack me? Don't you know that every magistrate has a heart for melee combat!? I've specialized in melee spells!"

The first thing to say is that magicians cannot melee combat, this is a complete fallacy!

Regardless of any combat occupation, the first thing to ensure in combat is your own personal safety.

In the adventure, teammates will be in danger at any time, and only yourself can protect yourself at this time.

Are magicians weak in melee combat?

It might be weaker, but that depends on who you compare it to.

Under the blessing of a series of buffing spells such as Giant Strength, Elegance of Wind, Physical Damage Suppression, Spell Damage Suppression, Storm Shield, Mage Armor, Dragon Scale Skin, Enchanted Flame Weapon, etc., a Mage's combat power is not weaker than The warrior profession, even in the face of various crises, the magician is more adaptable!

In addition, there are some melee spells such as Frost Nova, Ghost Blade, Arcane Shock and other spells that can control the field in an instant - the process of killing.

Of course, being able to melee doesn't mean you have to melee. A smart mage can use all kinds of wonderful spells to play the enemy with applause before the enemy approaches him.

The meaning of mastering the melee ability is that when an enemy finally approaches himself after untold hardships, another round of storm-like attacks awaits him.

The white-robed mage Gandalf once said that a mage who can't melee combat is not a good mage... oh, in a word, a good mage must not be bad at melee combat, that's what it is.
