Chapter 8 Tricks

"What did you say?"

Dunn suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"You heard it right, because you saved a lot of people and helped Captain Ronnie to repel the bandits, so Lord Lord decided to entertain the two of you at night, and at the same time you can prove your identity to Lord Lord."

The captain of the private army said with a stern face: "It's time for dinner, please prepare and go to the lord's mansion for a banquet."

Help Ronnie fight off the bandits?

Tang En's face was speechless, and Fiona was even more angry: "It's shameless, obviously it's Tang En's credit, how dare you blatantly grab his credit!"

The captain of the private army directly ignored Fiona, glanced at Dunn, and left directly.

Tang En was thoughtful, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Interesting."

He noticed that the private soldier's gaze turned a few times on the extremely potent life potion before leaving.

Fiona said in a deep voice, "That lord must have other ideas."

"Of course, his private army captain looked extremely effective... The greedy gaze of the blood of the goddess had already exposed their thoughts."

Tang En shrugged, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He never expected that a bottle of life potion would be coveted by others.

At this time, Tang En saw Eliya running over quickly. The little girl seemed to be in a hurry and almost fell to the ground. Tang En quickly stepped forward to support her.

Illya blushed, and then said awkwardly, "Big brother, Dad Aberton is back. Sister Elsa said he wanted to see you and told you not to leave here."

"Papa Aberton?"

"It's Sister Elsa's father."

Ilya said with a look of course: "I'm not a child of my parents."

Tang En was stunned for a moment: "Are you an orphan?"

Illya looked at Dunn very strangely: "No, I have sister Elsa."

Tang En was stunned. After a while, he patted Ilya's head and said with a smile: "Well, yes, I will also be your family in the future, and I will also take care of you and protect you."

Ilya blushed when she heard the words, lowered her head and played with her fingers, her face twisted.

Does the eldest brother want to marry Ilia? But, but it's a little too early, he's only twelve years old, and besides, I still, haven't fallen in love with the big brother... But if he really said that, what should Ilia do?

When Eliya cleared her mind and gathered up the courage to reject Dunn, at least temporarily, she found that Dunn was gone.

The little girl was suddenly discouraged.

Dunn didn't notice Ilia's abnormality. He had already seen Elsa, so he walked over.

The middle-aged man with the vicissitudes of life walking beside Elsa must be Elsa's father Aberton.

"Brother Dunn, this is my dad Aberton!"

Elsa happily introduced Dunn: "Dad, this is the big brother Dunn who saved a lot of people."

After staring at Dunn for a while, Aberton took a step forward with a cautious look. Just when Dunn wondered what he wanted to do, suddenly, Aberton knelt down on one knee in front of Dunn!

Immediately, Elsa, Illya, and the surrounding residents were all stunned.

"dad!?"

Elsa exclaimed, "What are you doing!?"

Aberton bowed his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "I, Aberton, thank all the residents of Ellington for the Lord's kindness."

He really is the new lord! ?

Elsa and Illya were even more stunned, dumbfounded there.

There was an uproar around, what did Aberton just say? Lord? The person who rescued Ellington turned out to be our new lord! ?

"How could it be possible... how could the nobles take action to save our civilians, there must be a mistake."

"Did Aberton see it wrong?"

Dunn couldn't help but ask, "Do you know me?"

"I just got back from Alynnx."

After listening to Aberton's words, Dunn understood. I'm afraid the news of his own purchase of territory spread in Alinks, so Aberton heard it.

"If our new lord is you, I'm afraid we don't have to worry about anything."

Aberton smiled: "A lord who is willing to use such a precious treasure to heal the commoners, I believe you will be able to manage Ellington well."

"Get up first..."

Dunn helped Aberton up, and his behavior undoubtedly told those around him that what Aberton said was the truth.

Dunn is really the new lord of Ellington.

What a lot of strength!

A look of amazement flashed in Abadon's eyes, who was supported by Dunn.

Not far away, Hogg's private soldiers saw such an incredible turn, and they were all dumbfounded. After being stunned for a while, they immediately ran back to report the news to Hogg.

"Sure enough..."

Hogg frowned: "That guy Aberton has been mysterious all day long, and he smashed me as soon as he came back from Alinks!"

"correct."

The private soldier suddenly said: "That guy's lord appointment letter seems to be on Ronnie. Originally, Ronnie planned to bring him to see you, but Elsa called him to put out the fire."

"Lord Appointment Letter..."

Hogg's face was gloomy. After thinking for a while, he said with a sneer, "Go and let Ronnie burn the appointment book of the lord."

"Sir, are you planning to..."

"I didn't see the appointment letter of the lord, how would I know that he is the new lord?"

Hogg showed a cold smile: "The new lord was killed by a bandit on his way to his post... Isn't this in line with Ellington's status quo?"

The others smiled knowingly.

On the square, Dunn learned from Aberton about the various problems Ellington was facing now, the heavy tax, the stingy and greedy lord, the bandit who often came to loot... Even the richest city can't stand this kind of thing. situation, not to mention that Ellington is just a remote town.

The land here is not barren, but it is not so rich. The frequent thieves have a great impact on farming. In addition, a greedy lord will take 80% of the crops as taxes. The residents here are full of food. , let alone protecting Ellington.

Most of the people Dunn saw after entering Ellington were yellow-faced, skinny and malnourished, but the militia team was still relatively good, after all, they had to rely on them to maintain law and order and protect the town.

The conditions of Hogg's private soldiers were significantly better.

Dunn found that if he wanted to take a firm seat in Ellington, the first thing he had to do was to feed them.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Since the bandits are so rampant, why didn't the lord lead the soldiers to destroy them?"

Aberton smiled and said: "Of course, how could he not act? If there is really no movement at all, how can the noble council let him continue to take a firm seat here?"

"However, action is action, and whether the bandit suppression is effective is another matter."

Aberton said meaningfully: "Every time I bring people to the thief's lair, it is empty, there is no one, only some plundered wealth is left. After Lord Hogg swept the wealth, Part of the tribute went up to announce the success of the bandit suppression, and the other part was filled into his own treasury..."

Tang En narrowed his eyes: "You mean..."

"I did not say anything."

Aberton shrugged: "What to do depends on your choice."

"Lord Lord."

Fiona came over: "All the wounded have been treated. There are 352 seriously wounded and 448 minor wounds. Now they have all recovered. There are still more than half of the diluted blood of the goddess. I have asked someone to fill it up for future use. used."

The diluted ones have to be refilled...

Dunn was speechless, and Fiona was too good at living.

After Fiona reported the situation, she said with a look of admiration: "But Lord, you used such a precious treasure to treat them. Now the residents of Ellington are very friendly to you. After you take office, the implementation of the policy will be affected by The resistance will be very small.”

Tang En nodded noncommittally, and then said, "It's almost time, accompany me to the banquet."

"To a banquet?"

Fiona was taken aback: "Lord Lord, do you really plan to sit and dine with that guy? I'm afraid this will greatly affect your reputation among the residents!"

Tang En smiled: "Don't worry... they will understand."

I am new here, and the gold coins in the game can't be used in reality. If you want to take the first step, of course, you have to "talk" with this Hogg, so that you can get a "political starting capital".

Dunn believes that once the news of his blackmailing of Hogg spreads, the residents of Ellington will definitely give out a bad breath. At this time, if he launches some policies to benefit the people in a timely manner, he will definitely secure this position immediately.

As for the future development...

Tang En laughed. With the knowledge he has learned on the earth, his broad vision and foresight, isn't it easy to develop a territory?

Now, Hogg is his stepping stone.

"Uncle Abaddon."

Ronnie, who had just burned the appointment book according to Hogg's order, ran over and saw Dunn's leaving back, and said disdainfully, "This guy is sneaky, he must not be a good person, I must kill him later. Arrest and interrogate clearly...why are you looking at me like this?"

Ronnie found that the eyes of the people around him were very strange, and he was a little strange in his heart.

"Ronnie, don't be disrespectful to the lord!"

Elsa shouted: "Lord Lord took out precious treasures to treat everyone, how can you slander him like this?"

"He? Lord Lord?"

Ronnie sneered: "Elsa, what are you joking with me? If he is the lord, I am the King of Illus!"

The appointment letter has been burned, how can he prove his identity? Why go against Lord Hogg?

"It's superficial! Illya, let's go!"

Elsa shook her hair and went home with Illya.

After watching Dunn leave, Aberton said to Ronnie: "Don is our new lord, don't be rude to him."

After finishing speaking, Aberton also left.

Ronnie's face became extremely bad, what trick did this damn Dunn use? Let them all stand by his side!

Just wait and see!

If you can't get the appointment letter, Lord Hogg will make you die miserably!
