Buck stared at Donne, licked his lips and said, "if you don''t want her to die, throw away your weapons and kneel down. I''ll cut off your head and naturally let her go."

    Donne raised his eyebrows. "Do you think I look like a fool?"

    "What do you mean?" Buck was furious. "Do you want to see her die?"

    "Idiot."

    Donne curled his lips and said to Fiona, "the magic scroll of the fourth order spell flame storm, isn''t it? Tear it open. If you want to die, everyone will die together."

    Fiona, Elsa, broken finger, buck and others around were stunned.

    Buck took a breath of air conditioning and shouted, "are you crazy?"

    "I''m not crazy. I''m just a life. Who''s afraid of who?"

    Donne looked like a broken can.

    Fiona was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Donne meant. Her eyes lit up and her hands tore away the leather paper she rolled up.

    Seeing Fiona''s action, the severed finger was scared to death and forgot to stop her.

    Buck exclaimed, turned and ran away!

    Exhausted all his strength to escape!

    However

    Donne tilted his mouth and stamped his foot gently

    "Boom!"

    A loud noise, flames, soared into the sky!

    The flames dispersed, and there was no trace of Buck and his party in the streets of Ellington.

    They all turned to ashes.

    "My head!"

    Brian howled, "Damn it! He''s cheap!"

    Donne gave Fiona a thumbs up and his teeth glittered: "it''s worthy of the magic scroll of the fourth-order magic, and its power is extraordinary!"

    "Um... Um..."

    What else can Fiona say? We can only hold back the frightened tears and cooperate with Donne to continue the performance.

    "The gods are on..."

    Elsa was stunned: "is this the power of the magic scroll?"

    Uncle Depp corrected Elsa: "it''s the magic scroll of the fourth level spell flame storm, the fourth level spell!"

    Uncle Depp felt that it was not enough to emphasize it again, so he said, "that''s the magic scroll of level 4 magic. When I was an adventurer outside, I once saw the magic scroll of level 1 fireball, which is worth 100 gold coins. I''m afraid the magic scroll of level 4 magic is more expensive."

    As he spoke, uncle Depp was shocked, and obviously noticed how precious things Fiona had just used.

    "Nothing."

    Anyway, it was acting, not really using the magic scroll. Fiona seemed very relaxed: "it''s just a magic scroll. We golden rose family have that kind of thing. I have as much as I want, right? Leader - Lord - Big - man!?"

    With a smile, Donne went straight to the middle of the square and announced it loudly.

    "I''m Donne! Lord Ellington!"

    The sound spread all over Ellington with the action of the wind element, and everyone heard it clearly.

    "Buck and all his followers have been killed!"

    The residents of Ellington who were hiding suddenly heard the good news. They all couldn''t believe it, because the news was so incredible!

    The new Lord solved the problem of mountain bandits on his first day in office?

    "I hereby announce that the former Ellington militia guard is renamed Ellington guard today. The former captain Ronnie is dismissed and Elsa is the captain of the guard!"

    "It is verified that Ronnie, the former leader of Ellington militia, is an insider of Ellington. He tried to assassinate the Lord today because he colluded with mountain thief buck to harm his compatriots. Now he has been killed! If there is any objection to this matter, Captain Elsa and other members of the guard can testify!"

    Suddenly hearing the news, all the residents of Ellington were stunned!

    Militia captain Ronnie, it''s an insider!?

    He colluded with mountain bandits!?

    Listen to the Lord and Elsa. They can testify. Can''t it be false?

    No wonder the militia guards failed to suppress the bandits. Ronnie was a traitor!

    "Damn it, Ronnie has been in Ellington for ten years? Why did he have the heart to betray everyone?! thanks to us, we gave him the security problem!"

    "So he may have been with Hogg from the beginning..."

    Many people whispered, but no matter how they discussed, the result would never change again.

    "From today on! Residents of Ellington, you are safe!"

    You''re safe!

    Safe?

    Peace, that''s it?

    There are many people who can''t believe what they hear. It''s not their fault, just because they are used to being robbed every three or five times.

    Leave?

    It''s not safe outside Ellington. Ordinary people will only die on the road if they leave here!

    Hogg smoothed their edges and corners bit by bit and let them stay here and work for him.

    But now, Donne''s arrival has changed all this!

    Ellington, it''s safe!

    No more mountain bandits, no more danger!

    Now, they only hope that Donne can become a qualified Lord. As for other things, such as asking Donne to cut taxes, they can''t even think of it.

    Tax cuts?

    Tax is the main source of the Lord''s income. If the tax is reduced, what does the Lord rely on to earn gold coins? Maybe there will be more terrible means.

    Therefore, they would rather accept the current heavy tax than other methods.

    People came out of their hiding places, walked into the street one by one and looked at each other. Only then did they understand that everyone heard the same words.

    "Long live Lord Donne! The gods protect Ellington!"

    "Long live Lord Donne! Ellington will rise!"

    I don''t know who shouted first. These voices gradually merged into waves and gathered in the square.

    People rushed to the square, hoping to see Donne. It seemed that only in this way could they be at ease.

    So Donne stood there to be looked at, and it wasn''t until dusk that everyone gradually dispersed.

    "Hoo, I''m so tired."

    After returning to the Lord''s house, don en suddenly lay on the sofa.

    On earth, don Enke has never had such a remarkable experience.

    "Lord, you scared me today."

    Fiona sat opposite Donne, but Donne regretted that the elegant sitting posture developed by the girl since childhood was completely impeccable.

    "I was negligent. I should leave you some means of self-protection."

    Donne smiled and pondered for a while. Suddenly, a pile of scrolls appeared in his hand. He tossed and muttered: "these are the scrolls of meteorite falling, these are the scrolls of prayer, these are the lava hell... The eternal frozen abyss..."

    Listen to the spell name that pops out of Donne''s mouth. Rao is Fiona, who already knows that Donne''s strength is very strong, or is shocked.

    She didn''t know how many levels those spells were, but she felt very powerful just by listening to the name.

    "I''m afraid... At least it''s a spell above level 5?"

    Fiona tried to think higher, but I''m afraid no matter how bold she guessed, she wouldn''t think that these spells are nine level spells.

    Yes, the pile in front of Donne is the magic scroll of the Ninth level magic, and even mixed with the scroll of several legendary magic. Even ordinary people can see the bright light overflowing from it.

    "No... there''s nothing for you."

    Donne threw it helplessly, and a pile of Hula scrolls fell to the ground, frightening Fiona next to her, subconsciously holding her head and jumping onto the sofa.

    "Er..."

    Donne looked at Fiona in amazement. It took Fiona a long time to recover and sat down again with a red face.

    "If the scroll really breaks out, it''s useless for you to hold your head and squat..."

    Donne finished crying and laughing and put away the scrolls.

    Fiona disguised her embarrassment and looked evasively: "are you looking for something for me?"

    Donne said carelessly, "yes, I''ll prepare some self-defense things for you, but there''s no ready-made one now. If I find the materials, I''ll get some for you."

    Fiona is speechless again. The magic scroll is a very popular thing. Although the high-level magic scroll can still be used only by magicians, the low-level magic scroll can be used even by ordinary people. Those mercenaries and adventurers are happy to prepare several for their needs.

    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 been high.

    Fiona was naturally surprised to see that Donne seemed to be able to do a lot at will.

    "By the way, how about the statistics you made today?"

    "I have a general impression."

    When Donne mentioned the business, Fiona perked up and said, "Ellington''s problems are bigger than expected."

    "Oh?"

    "Due to years of exploitation by Hogg, the average monthly income of 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 Donne shaking his head, Fiona continued, "this belongs to the special poverty line in the whole empire! No wonder those guys shook their heads when they mentioned Ellington. No one wants to come."

    Fiona sighed that if she had known about Ellington earlier, she would not have chosen to pass here.

    But if she hadn''t chosen to pass here, she wouldn''t have met Donne.

    "In addition to per capita income, the grain output here is also very low. 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: "mountain bandits come every three or five times. How can they be in the mood to take care of the farmland? The harvest is naturally poor. I believe that after the mountain bandits are solved, the situation will be much better this year."

    Fiona was stunned: "I neglected and forgot this... In addition, there is a very important place, that is, all kinds of taxes set by Hogg."

    Donne''s spirit perked up: "what do you say?"

    Fiona said: "in addition to the imperial basic tax, Hogg has formulated many private taxes. After calculating more than a dozen miscellaneous taxes, the tax rate of Ellington has reached 70%
