Buck stared at Tang En and licked his lips and said, "If you don't want her to die, throw away your weapon and kneel down by yourself. I will cut off your head and naturally let her go."
Tang En raised an eyebrow: "Do you look like me a fool?"
"What do you mean?" Buck was furious. "Do you want to see her die?"
"moron."
Tang En swaggered and said to Fiona: "Is the magic scroll of the fourth-order spell flame storm right? Rip it up, everyone will die together."
Fiona, Elsa, Broken Fingers, Buck, and everyone else were holding back.
Buck took a cold breath and yelled, "You're crazy !?"
"I'm not crazy, isn't it just a life? Who's afraid of who?"
Tang En looked like a broken jar.
Fiona froze for a moment, and immediately realized what Tang En meant. As soon as her eyes lighted, her hands ripped open the piece of paper she rolled up.
Seeing Fiona's actions, she was so frightened that she forgot to stop her.
Buck exclaimed, and fled!
Exhausted your whole body to escape!
however……
Tang En's mouth turned up, and he stomped gently ...
"boom!"
A loud noise, flames, soared into the sky!
The flames dissipated, and Buck's party could not be seen at all in Ellington's streets.
They all turned to ashes.
"My head!"
Brian squeaked: "Damn! It's cheap for him!"
Tang En threw a thumbs up at Fiona's unsettled teeth, her teeth shining: "It's a magic scroll of fourth-order magic, its power is extraordinary!"
"Um ... uh ..."
What else can Fiona say? All I could do was to tear back the scared tears, and cooperate with Tang En to continue.
"Gods are on ..."
Elsa was stunned and startled: "This is the power of the magic scroll?"
Uncle Depp corrected Elsa: "It's a magic scroll of fourth-order spells of flame storm, fourth-order spells!"
Uncle Depp felt that it was not enough to say it again, so he said, "That is the magic scroll of fourth-order magic! When I was an adventurer outside, I once saw the magic scroll of first-order fireball, which is worth a hundred. A gold coin! I am afraid the magic scroll of this fourth-order spell is more expensive. "
Talking, Uncle Depp was dumbfounded, and apparently realized how valuable Fiona had just used.
"Nothing."
Anyway, acting, and not really using magic scrolls, Fiona seemed very relaxed: "It's just a magic scroll. What kind of things do we have in the Golden Rose family, how much and how much do I want, right?- — Lord — big — man !?
Tang En smiled, walked straight to the center of the square, and announced loudly.
"I'm Down! Lord of Ellington!"
The sound passed through Ellington with the element of wind, and everyone heard it clearly.
"Buck and all his followers have been killed!"
The residents who had been hiding in Ellington suddenly heard the good news, and they all couldn't believe it, because the news was so incredible!
The new lord, solved the big problem of the mountain thief on the first day?
"I hereby announce that the former Ellington Militia Guard was renamed the Ellington Guard today. The former captain Ronny was dismissed and Elsa was the captain of the guard!"
"It has been verified that the former Ellington militia captain Ronny is an Ellington inner ghost. He tried to assassinate the lord today by collaborating with the robber Buck, and has now attempted to assassinate the lord. If there is any objection to this matter, Captain Elsa and Other members of the guard testify! "
Suddenly heard the news, the residents of Ellington were all stunned!
The militia captain Ronnie is actually a ghost! ?
He actually colluded with the bandit! ?
Listen to Lord Lord saying that, and Elsa, they can testify. Isn't it fake?
No wonder how the militia guards returned without success, that Ronnie was a traitor!
"Damn, that Ronnie has been in Ellington for ten years? Why did he have the heart to betray everyone !? Thanks to the law and order, he gave it to him!"
"So, he may have been with Hogg from the beginning ..."
Many people whispered, but no matter how they discussed, the result would not change.
"From today! Residents of Ellington, you are safe!"
You are safe!
Is it safe?
Is peace here?
There are still many people who can't believe what they have heard. This is not to blame them, just because they are used to the days of being robbed at such intervals.
go away?
Outside Ellington is not safe at all, ordinary people will only die on the road when they leave here!
Hogg smoothed their corners little by little like this, and let them stay here honestly to kill him.
But now, Tang's arrival has changed all this!
Ellington, it's safe!
No more thieves, no more danger!
Now, they only hope that Tang En can become a qualified lord. As for other things, such as letting Tang En reduce taxes, they can't even think about it.
Tax reduction?
Taxation is the main source of income for the lord. If the tax is reduced, what does the lord make of gold? Perhaps there are more terrible means.
So they would rather accept the heavy tax now than other methods.
People got out of their hiding places and walked to the street one by one, looking at each other, and then they realized that everyone had heard the same thing.
"Long live Lord Tang En! The gods shelter Ellington!"
"Long live Lord Down! Ellington will rise!"
I don't know who shouted the first sound first. These sounds changed from small to loud, and gradually merged into a wave of sounds gathered towards the square.
People rushed to the square, hoping to see Tang En's figure, as if only in this way, they will be at ease.
As a result, Tang En stood there to receive admiration, and it was not until the evening sun that everyone gradually dispersed.
"Huh, I'm exhausted."
After returning to the lord's palace, Tang En suddenly lay on the sofa.
Tang Enke has never experienced such a spectacular experience on earth.
"Lord Lord, you scared me today."
Fiona was sitting opposite Tang En, but the elegant sitting posture cultivated by the young girl was absolutely impeccable, and Tang En expressed regret.
"I was negligent and I should leave you some self-protection measures."
Tang En smiled, and after groaning, a scroll suddenly appeared in his hand, and he murmured, "These are the scrolls of the meteorite fall, these are the scrolls of prayer, these are the lava hells ... forever frozen abyss……"
Listening to the name of the spell that popped out of Tang En's mouth, Rao was Fiona already knew that Tang En's strength was very strong, or he was shocked enough.
She didn't know how many spells those spells were, but she felt terrible just listening to the name.
"I'm afraid ... at least fifth-order spells, right?"
Fiona tried to think as high as possible, but I'm afraid she no longer guessed so boldly that she wouldn't think that these spells were all 9th-order spells.
That's right, the frame in front of Tang En is a magic scroll of order nine spells, and even there are scrolls of several legendary spells, even ordinary people can see the bright light overflowing above.
"No ... there is nothing for you."
Tang En reluctantly threw it away, and Hula La rolled the scroll all to the ground, scaring Fiona next to him and jumping to the sofa, holding his head subconsciously.
"Uh……"
Tang En looked at Fiona with a grimace. It took Fiona a long time to return to her senses, and she sat down again with a blush.
"If the scroll really breaks out, it's no use if you hold your head and squatting ..."
Tang En said with tears of laughter, and put away those scrolls.
Fiona concealed her embarrassment, her eyes dodging: "Are you looking for something for me?"
Tang Enman said indifferently: "Yeah, prepare some self-defense things for you, but there is no ready-made, if I find the materials, I will get you some."
Fiona is speechless for a while, magic scrolls are very popular. Although high-level magic scrolls are still only used by magicians, even low-level magic scrolls can be used by ordinary people, those mercenaries and adventurers. Those who are willing to prepare a few to put on their body in case of need.
However, there are not many magicians willing to make magic scrolls, and the success rate is not high, so the price of magic scrolls has always been high.
Looking at Tang En's appearance, it seemed as if he could make a lot of them casually. Fiona was naturally surprised.
"By the way, how are the statistics for you today?"
"Roughly an impression."
Fiona's spirit refreshed when Tang En mentioned the business. "Ellington had more problems than he thought."
"Oh?"
"Due to Hogg's years of exploitation, the average monthly income of the residents here is less than 50 silver coins, and the disposable income is less than 10 silver coins. Do you know what this concept is?"
Seeing that Tang En shook his head, Fiona continued: "This is an extremely difficult line in the entire empire! No wonder when mentioning Ellington, those guys are shaking their heads, and no one wants to come."
Fiona sighed. If she knew earlier about Ellington, she wouldn't have chosen to pass by.
However, if she didn't choose to go through here, she wouldn't have encountered Tang En.
"In addition to the per capita income, the food production here is also very low, and the land here is very fertile, but I don't know why the output is so low."
Fiona's face was puzzled.
"It's not easy?"
Tang En shrugged: "The pirates come every three to five trips. How can they have the mood to take care of the farmland? The harvest is naturally poor. I believe the situation will be much better this year after the pirates are resolved.
Fiona stunned: "I was negligent and forgot this ... And there is another very important thing: the taxes that Hogg has set."
Tang En refreshed: "How do you say?"
Fiona said: "In addition to the empire's basic tax, Hogg has formulated many private taxes. More than a dozen miscellaneous taxes have been calculated, and Ellington's tax rate has reached 70%."
