Fiona and Donne had a good chat.

    So it''s hard for her to understand Donne''s idea.

    In her opinion, a person with such great power is a very proud thing, but Donne doesn''t seem to think so.

    He clearly has such a strong strength, but he is very approachable.

    This surprised Fiona even more.

    Donne looked at Fiona''s goods, frowned and asked, "what do you do with these goods?"

    Fiona is also very embarrassed. These goods are her last capital. She originally planned to pass through Ellington and then take a detour to caspamiburg in the north to try her luck and see if she can turn over. Now everyone is dead and she is left alone. She can''t take these things anyway.

    Donne asked, "are you a businessman?"

    "That''s right!"

    Fiona said proudly, "I''m a member of the golden rose family!"

    "Golden rose family..."

    Donne thought for a while before he remembered that in the background of the game, this is a huge chamber of Commerce accompanying the rise of the Ilus empire. It used to be all over the places that prandal has explored, but now it has completely disappeared.

    Fiona is probably the last member of the golden rose family.

    "I''m afraid you''re in a terrible situation. In that case, how about I hire you as the chief business consultant of Ellington?"

    Donne knows that the development of the territory is inseparable from all kinds of talents. Now he has no other people to use. Since Fiona has the ability in this field, find a way to keep her - and depending on her attitude, I''m afraid she is happy to do so.

    "I''m honored!"

    Fiona was really surprised. I''m afraid this is her only chance now!

    Although Ellington was a very remote and desolate place, it was the same area, so an earl took it. With the support of Lords like Donne, will Ellington still be what it is now?

    "In that case, put your goods with me first."

    When Donne finished, the mage''s hand lifted the goods and put them all into his backpack.

    "Space equipment!"

    Fiona was surprised again, but on second thought, although space equipment was very precious, Donne was such a powerful magician. It was not strange to have space equipment, so she accepted it soon.

    "From now on, you will be my chief adviser," said don

    "I see, Lord."

    "Just call me Donne."

    "That''s rude."

    "Well, wake up the coachman. It''s hard to faint for him for so long."

    After waking up the coachman, the coachman was naturally puzzled about the disappearance of the mountain thieves, but he didn''t ask much. He was very lucky to get back his life, so Donne and Fiona got into the carriage and continued to set off for Ellington.

    On the carriage, Fiona was embarrassed by the dull atmosphere. She looked at Donne with her eyes closed for a long time. Finally, she couldn''t help asking, "Lord, why did you choose to be the Lord of Ellington?"

    Donne opened his eyes and asked with interest, "why is there this problem?"

    "Because although Ellington has a large area and is the largest existing ownerless territory in irus, it is remote and adjacent to the border. The ladia forest and ambris mountains nearby limit the development space of Ellington. Even kaspami in the north is a better choice than Ellington."

    "Caspami is good, but Ellington is not as bad as you say," Don shrugged. "At least in my opinion, Ellington is rich in mineral and natural resources that other territories do not have."

    Fiona smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, you are really optimistic. I''m afraid you won''t be so happy when you get there."

    "The poorer you are, the more room you have for value, isn''t it?"

    "... I try my best!"

    Donne smiled and said nothing. Soon Fiona would know why he was so confident.

    In the eyes of aborigines, Ellington is naturally a very remote place, but it is different in the eyes of players. Aborigines do not know what is in the ambris mountains, but Donne knows it clearly. The main city of dwarves and Dwarfs is in the ambris mountains, and the emerald corolla of the King City of the elves is in the Emerald Forest in the southwest, It won''t take long to go east. It''s the main human city, arlinks, which can be called a transportation hub.

    If you go online with dwarves, you can get rich mineral resources. The nearby forest is inexhaustible forest resources and a large area of undeveloped land. In the game, there are many players of all races trading here, which is a real treasure land.

    Of course, as like as two peas, the game is a game, and reality is reality. Dumne can not guarantee that the world is exactly like the game world.

    After crossing the last hill, it suddenly opens up in front. A silver ribbon crosses the plain and flows into the distance. It is the emerald river flowing out of the ambris mountains. Next to it is the ladia forest. A small town is located at the upstream of the river and adjacent to the forest.

    That''s Ellington.

    Yes, the administrative center of Ellington, such a large territory, is such a small town.

    Fiona looked at Donne and wanted to see some disappointment in his face, but she only saw excitement and happiness.

    Donne noticed Fiona''s eyes and smiled, "wonder why I''m so happy?"

    Fiona nodded a little embarrassed.

    Donne thought for a moment and smiled. "Let me tell you a story."

    Fiona focused immediately.

    "In a distant country, once an ordinary man inadvertently got a huge sum of money worth 50000 gold coins."

    "Fifty thousand gold coins!"

    Fiona exclaimed: "it''s really a huge sum of money for an ordinary person. Then? Did he use the money to do business and become a noble?"

    "Someone asked him, what are you going to do with the 50000 gold coins? The man said that he was going to buy a house in the suburb of Wangcheng and pay a down payment."

    Fiona was stunned: "buy a house? Down payment"

    Donne continued, "someone continued to ask, what about the rest? The rest? The man said, the rest slowly."

    Fiona was confused and obviously couldn''t understand.

    Donne sighed and looked indifferent: "in a world that doesn''t understand cold jokes, life is really lonely like snow..."

    Fiona lowered her head in embarrassment. In front of Donne, she felt very ignorant.

    Donne looked out of the window. Beneath the calm surface was an excited heart.

    Land!

    Such a large area of land, endless land, all belong to him!

    Here, he is the king of this land!

    You can let him write and express his ideas!

    Don''t worry about anyone!

    "But the work and rest time of Ellington residents is really a little strange. They start cooking so early."

    Donne looked at the smoke over the town and wanted to scratch his head.

    Fiona fixed her eyes and was shocked: "that''s not cooking smoke! It''s the town on fire!"

    Donne was stunned: "what!?"

    Fiona immediately urged the coachman to speed up and said, "the cooking smoke can''t be black, and there are a lot of people around the town. Something must have happened!"

    Donne was immediately upset: "before I took over my territory, someone came to make trouble!?"

    Fiona hesitated and said, "Ellington is too remote, so the public security is very bad. There are often mountain bandits..."

    "Where''s the current Lord? Where''s the sheriff? Where''s the militia? Are they all for nothing?"

    Fiona sighed. Some things she couldn''t say were too straightforward. When he arrived in Ellington, Donne would know the truth.

    Soon the carriage arrived near Ellington, but the coachman refused to come any closer. After Donne paid for the carriage and dispersed the coachman, he walked towards Ellington with Fiona and a gloomy face.

    Before I entered the town, I heard the howling and crying and the unbridled laughter from the town.

    "Child! My child!"

    "Hahaha - go to hell! Gold coins! Food! Women! It''s all ours!"

    Fiona looked pale and subconsciously hid behind Donne. Looking at the man in front of her, she felt a little at ease and knew that with him, she would be able to protect herself.

    After all, he is such a powerful magician!

    The town floor was covered with blood and viscera, and the dead residents stared at Donne as if blaming him for coming so late.

    Donne took a deep breath, the smoke choked his lungs, and his eyes were slightly wet: "damn these robbers."

    In a word, they sentenced these people to death.

    "Follow me."

    Donne walked to the center of town.

    "Huh? And the rebels?"

    At the moment when the voice sounded, a mountain thief suddenly rushed out and cut a cold light to Donne''s neck!

    Dang!

    Donne grabbed the long sword.

    The mountain bandit was stunned.

    empty-handed?

    Grab a sword?

    He''s okay!?

    "Go to hell -"

    As soon as Tang en snapped his fingers, the fire broke out directly and burned the mountain bandits to ashes in an instant!

    A strong wind came behind him. Donne clapped his backhand, and the ghost blade made of magic sent out a sharp and rapid whistling sound!

    "Bang!"

    The head of the mountain bandit behind him exploded like a watermelon.

    Don booed: "do you still want to attack me? Don''t you know that every Dharma Master has a heart for melee!? I''m good at melee spells!"

    First of all, it''s a complete fallacy that magicians can''t melee!

    Regardless of any fighting profession, the first thing to ensure in combat is your personal safety.

    During the adventure, teammates will be in danger at any time. At this time, only themselves can protect themselves.

    Is the magician weak in melee?

    It may be weaker, but it depends on who you compare with.

    With the blessing of a series of gain spells, such as giant power, wind elegance, physical damage suppression, spell damage suppression, storm shield, Mage Armor, dragon scale skin, enchanted flame weapons, a mage''s combat effectiveness is no less than that of the warrior profession. Even in the face of various crises, a mage''s adaptability is stronger!

    In addition, there are some melee spells, such as frost nova, ghost blade, arcane impact and so on, which can complete the process of field control - killing in an instant.

    Of course, being able to engage in melee does not mean that you have to engage in melee. A wise mage can use all kinds of wonderful spells to play with the enemy before the enemy approaches him.

    The significance of mastering melee ability is that when an enemy finally approaches himself after thousands of hardships, another round of storm like attack is waiting for him.

    Gandalf, a white robed mage, once said that a mage who can''t melee is not a good mage... Oh, in a word, a good mage must not have poor melee ability. That''s one thing.
