Chapter 3: Attack on Ellington

Fiona had a good chat with Down.
So she had a hard time understanding what Down was thinking.
In her opinion, it is very proud to have such a powerful person, but Tang En didn't seem to think so.
He obviously has such powerful strength, but he is very approachable.
This surprised Fiona even more.
Tang En glanced at Fiona's goods and frowned, "What about you?"
Fiona was also very distressed. These goods were her last capital. She originally planned to pass through Ellington and then detour to Fort Casparmi on the north side to try her luck and see if she could stand up. Now everyone is dead She was left alone, and there was no way she could take these things away.
Tang En asked, "Are you a businessman?"
"Yes!"
Fiona proudly said, "I am a member of the Golden Rose Family!"
"The Golden Rose Family ..."
After thinking about it for a while, Tang En remembered that in the context of the game, this is a huge chamber of commerce that accompanies the rise of the Illus Empire. It used to be all over the place that Prandall has explored, but it has now disappeared .
Fiona is probably the last member of the Golden Rose family.
"I think you're in a bad situation right now. So, how about I hire you as Ellington's chief business consultant?"
Tang En knew that the development of the territory was inseparable from various talents. Now he has no other people available. Since Fiona has the ability in this regard, then she will find a way to leave her-and depending on her attitude, I am afraid she I'm happy to do so.
"I am very honored!"
Fiona was really surprised, this is probably her only chance now!
Although Ellington is a very remote and desolate place, it is also equivalent to an earl. If a lord such as Down is supported, will Ellington be what he is now?
"That being the case, put your goods here first."
After Tang En said, the mage's hand lifted the goods, and all of them were stored in his backpack.
"Space equipment!"
Fiona was taken aback again, but after thinking about it, although space equipment is very precious, Tang En is such a powerful magician. It is not surprising that there is space equipment, so I quickly accepted it.
Tang En said: "From now on, you are my chief consultant."
"I see, Lord Lord."
"Just call me Tang."
"That's rude."
"Well, wake up the driver, it's hard to faint him for so long."
After waking up the driver, the driver was naturally puzzled by the disappearance of the mountain thieves, but he didn't ask much. He was very glad to be able to retrieve the life, so Tang En and Fiona took the carriage and continued to Departure from Ellington.
On the carriage, the dull atmosphere made Fiona anxious. She looked at Tang En with her eyes closed, and for a long time finally couldn't help asking: "Master, why did you choose to become the lord of Ellington?" ? "
Tang En opened his eyes and asked with interest: "Why is this problem?"
"Because Ellington is very large and is the largest existing territory in Illus, but because it is relatively remote and adjacent to the border, the Ladiya Forest and the Ambries are also limiting the development of Ellington. Space, even Casparmi to the north, is a better choice than Ellington. "
"Casparmy is very good, but Ellington is not as bad as you said," Tang En shrugged. "At least in my opinion, the rich mineral and natural resources in Ellington are other territories. does not come with."
Fiona smiled bitterly: "Master Lord, you are really optimistic, I'm afraid you won't be so happy when you go to the place."
"The poorer you are, the more room you have for value, isn't it?"
"... I try my best!"
Tang En smiled, and Fiona would soon know why he was so confident.
In the eyes of the Aborigines, Ellington is naturally a very remote place, but it is different in the eyes of the players. The Aborigines do not know what is in the Ambris Mountains, but Tang En knows it clearly. The main city of dwarves and dwarfs Just in the Ambris Mountains, in the emerald forest on the southwest side is the emerald crown of the elves' king city. It won't be long to go east to the main city of mankind, called a traffic hub.
Get online with Dwarves, you can get a lot of mineral resources, the forest next to them is an inexhaustible forest resource, and a large area of ​​undeveloped land. In the game, there are many players of various races trading here, but here is a Outstanding treasure.
Of course, the game is a game, and the reality is reality. Tang En can't guarantee that this world is exactly the same as the game world. Now he can only move forward carefully.
After crossing the last hill, the front was suddenly bright. A silvery white ribbon crossed the plain and flowed into the distance. It was the Emerald River flowing from the Ambris Mountains, next to the Ladia Forest, and a small town was located upstream of the river. Adjacent to the forest.
There, it's Ellington.
That's right, the large territory of Ellington, its administrative center is such a small town.
Fiona glanced at Don, trying to see some disappointment in his face, but she only saw excitement and happiness.
Tang En noticed Fiona's gaze and smiled, "Strange why am I so happy?"
Fiona nodded embarrassedly.
Tang En thought for a moment, and smiled, "Let me tell you a story."
Fiona immediately concentrated.
"In a distant country, an ordinary person once inadvertently received a huge sum of five ... ten thousand gold coins."
"Five thousand coins!"
Fiona was amazed: "It's really a huge sum for an ordinary person, and then? Did he use this money to do business and then become a noble?"
"Someone asked him, what are you going to do with these fifty thousand gold coins? That guy said he planned to buy a house in the suburbs of Wangcheng and pay a down payment."
Fiona froze: "Buy a house? Down payment"
Tang En continued: "Someone keeps asking, what about the rest? The rest? The man said, the rest is slowly returning."
Fiona was so confused that she couldn't understand.
Tang En sighed, with a look of relief: "In a world that doesn't understand cold jokes, life is really lonely like snow ..."
Fiona lowered her head awkwardly, and she felt very ignorant in front of Tang En.
Tang En looked out of the window, beneath the calm surface, and was excited.
land!
Such a large area of ​​land, the boundless land, all belong to him!
Here he is the king of this land!
You can let him brush his pen and ink, and give full play to his ideas!
Don't worry about anyone!
"But Ellington's residents are really a bit weird. They started cooking so early."
Tang En looked at the smoke over the town and wanted to scratch his head.
Fiona looked intently, panicking: "That's not the smoke! It's the town on fire!"
Tang En suddenly said: "What !?"
Fiona immediately urged the driver to speed up, and said, "It's impossible for the smoke to turn black, and seeing a lot of people gather around the town, something must have happened!"
Tang En was immediately upset: "I have somebody to mess with before I take over the territory !?"
Fiona hesitated a moment and said: "Ellington is very remote, so the law and order is very bad. There are often robbers ..."
"What about the current lord? What about the sheriff? What about the militia? Are they all eating rice !?"
Fiona sighed. Some things were too straightforward for her to speak. When Ellington was waiting, Down would know the real situation.
Soon the carriage arrived near Ellington, but the driver said he would not approach any more. After Tang En paid the fare and dismissed the driver, his face was somber and Fiona went to Ellington.
Before we walked into the town, we heard the wailing sounds and unscrupulous laughter from the town.
"Child! My child!"
"Hahaha-die! Gold coins! Food! Women! It's all ours!"
Fiona's face was pale, and she subconsciously hid behind Tang En, looking at the man in front of her. She felt relieved in her heart, knowing that he was there, she would be able to protect herself from harm.
After all, he is such a powerful magician!
The town's ground was full of blood and internal organs, and the dead residents glared at Tang En, as if condemning why he came so late.
Tang En took a deep breath. The thick smoke made his lungs hurt, and his eyes were slightly moist: "These robbers, it."
In a word, they were sentenced to death.
"Follow me."
Suddenly fireballs appeared next to Tang En, walking towards the center of the town.
"Huh !? And the resistance?"
As soon as the sound started, a mountain thief rushed out beside him, and a gleam of cold light fell on Tang En's neck!
clang!
Tang En grabbed the sword.
The pirate suddenly stopped.
Empty hand?
Grab a sword?
He's fine! ?
"Go to death--"
As soon as Tang En snapped his finger, the flame exploded directly, burning the mountain thief into ashes in an instant!
There was a strong wind behind him, Tang En shot it backhand, and the ghost blade formed by the magical power made a sharp and rapid whistling!
"Oh!"
The robber who came behind him exploded like a watermelon.
Tang En took a sip: "Would you like to sneak into me? Don't you know that every mage has a melee heart !? I am specialized in melee spells!"
The first thing to say is that the magician cannot fight in close combat, this is a downright fallacy!
Regardless of any combat profession, 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 themselves can protect themselves at this time.
Is the magician's melee ability weak?
It may be weaker, but it depends on who it is.
Under the blessings of a series of buff spells such as Mighty Power, Wind Elegance, 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 is a profession, even when facing various crises, the magician is more resilient!
In addition, there are some melee spells such as Frost Nova, Ghost Blade, Arcane Blast, etc. that can complete the field control-killing process in an instant.
Of course, melee doesn't mean you have to be melee. A savvy mage can use all kinds of wonderful spells to trick the enemy into applause before the enemy approaches itself.
The significance of mastering the ability of melee is that when an enemy finally approaches himself after much hard work, waiting for him is another round of storms.
Gandalf, the white robe mage, once said that a master who can't fight melee is not a good master ... Oh, in short, a good magician must not be bad in melee ability, that's the thing.
