Chapter 14 (1/2)
”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
