Chapter 8 Identity Exposure(1/2)
"What did you say?"
Tang En 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 the Lord Lord decided to treat you two to the evening."
The private soldier captain said with a stern face: "It's time for meals soon. Please prepare and go to the lord's mansion to have a banquet."
Help Ronnie fight off the bandits?
Tang En looked speechless, and Fiona's face turned pale: "It's simply shameless. It's obviously Tang En's credit, but you dare to blatantly steal his credit!"
The private soldier captain ignored Fiona and glanced at Tang En. After turning his greedy eyes on the potion of extreme effect life, he left directly.
Tang En thought something, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's interesting."
Fiona said in a deep voice, "That lord must have other ideas."
"Of course, his private captain looked very effective... the greedy gaze of the goddess's blood had already exposed their thoughts."
Tang En shrugged, feeling amused and crying. He never expected that it would arouse the covetousness of others because of a bottle of life potion.
At this time, Tang En saw Yiliya running over quickly. The little girl seemed a little anxious and almost fell to the ground. Tang En quickly stepped forward to support her.
Yiliya blushed, and then said in a squint: "Big brother, Uncle Alberton is back. Sister Elsa said he wants to see you and told you not to leave here first."
"Uncle Alberton?"
"It's Elsa's father."
Iriya said with envy, "I don't have a mother and mother, thanks to Uncle Alberton and Aunt Clara's care."
Tang En was stunned for a moment: "Are you an orphan?"
Yiliya looked at Tang En very strangely: "No, I have Sister Elsa."
Tang En was stunned, and after a moment, patted Yiliya's head and smiled: "Well, that's right, I'll be your family in the future. I will take care of you and protect you."
Yiliya blushed when she heard this, lowered her head and played with her fingers, looking disgusted.
Does the eldest brother want to marry Yiliya? But, it's a bit too early. He is only twelve years old. Besides, I haven't fallen in love with the eldest brother yet... But if he really said that, what should I do?
When Iriya cleared her thoughts and plucked up the courage to reject Tang En, at least temporarily, she found that Tang En was missing.
The little girl was immediately discouraged.
Don Eliya didn't notice the abnormality. He had seen Elsa, so he walked over.
The middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of expression on his face, must be Elsa's father Alberton.
"Brother Done, this is my dad Alberton!"
Elsa happily introduced to Tang En: "Dad, this is Brother Tang En who has saved many people."
After staring at Tang En for a while, Alberton took a step forward with a cautious look on his face. Just when Tang En was wondering what he wanted to do, suddenly, Alberton knelt down on one knee in front of Tang En!
Immediately, Elsa, Iriya and the residents around were all stunned.
"dad!?"
Elsa exclaimed: "What are you doing!?"
Alberton lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "I, Alberton, thanked Lord Tangen for his kindness for all the residents of Ellington."
Tang En, and Fiona who was busy not far away, were dumbfounded.
The two of them looked at each other and agreed to keep it confidential. Why did they reveal this?
Elsa and Iriya were even more stunned and were stunned there.
There was an uproar around him. What did Alberton just say? Lord? The person who rescued Ellington turned out to be a Lord Lord!?
"How is it possible...How could the nobles take action to save us civilians? They must have made a mistake."
"Did Alberton read it wrong?"
Tang En sighed with his forehead and couldn't help asking after a moment, "Do you know me?"
"I just returned from Yarinks."
After hearing what Aberton said, Donn understood that the news of his own purchase of territory was probably spreading in Yarinks, so Alberton heard it.
He was a little helpless. He originally wanted to hide his identity and look around in Ellington. Now, when his identity was exposed, many things could not be seen.
"If our new lord is you, I'm afraid we don't have to worry about anything."
Alberton smiled: "A lord who is willing to use such a precious treasure to heal the civilians, I believe you will definitely rule Ellington."
"Get up first..."
Donn helped Aberton up, and his behavior undoubtedly told the people around him that what Aberton said was the truth.
Donne is really the new lord of Ellington.
What a lot of strength!
A look of surprise flashed in Aberton's eyes, who was helped up by Donne.
Not far away, Hogg's private soldiers were stunned when they saw such an incredible turn. After a moment of stunned silence, they immediately ran back to report the news to Hogg.
"What!?"
Hog was furious: "You say the alchemist who took out the Goddess' blood, he is the new lord!"
"This is what Alberton said, we didn't see him bringing out the lord's appointment."
"Aberton, that guy, also came back from Yarinks..."
Hog had a gloomy face, and after thinking for a while, he said coldly: "None of you heard of this news, and none of us knew that he was the new lord, do you understand?"
"Sir, you are planning..."
Hogg smiled coldly: "The new lord was killed by a bandit on his way to his post... Isn't this very consistent with Ellington's current situation?"
The others immediately smiled knowingly.
In the square, Donn learned from Aberton that Ellington is facing various problems now, such as taxes, stingy and greedy lords, and often looted bandits... No matter how rich the city is, it cannot stand this situation, let alone Ellington is just a remote town.
The land here is not barren, but it is not very rich. The frequent appearance of bandits has a great influence on farming. In addition, a greedy leader mainly collects 80% of the crops as taxes. The residents here are full of hopes, let alone protect Ellington.
After Donn entered Ellington, most of the people who saw pale faces and thin skin, and looked malnourished. However, the militia was quite good. After all, they had to rely on them to maintain public order and protect the town.
The conditions of Hogg's private soldiers were obviously better.
Donn discovered that if he wanted to sit firmly in Ellington, the first thing he had to do was to give them a full meal.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Since the bandits are so rampant, why didn't the lord lead the soldiers to wipe them out?"
Alberton smiled and said, "Of course, how could he not act? If there was no movement at all, how could the noble council allow him to continue to sit here?"
"However, if the action is action, it is another matter whether the bandit suppression will be effective."
Alberton said meaningfully: "Every time I brought people to the bandit's nest, it was empty, without a single person, only some plundered wealth. After Lord Hogg plundered the wealth, part of it was tribute to announce the successful suppression of the bandits, and the other part was filled with his own treasure house..."
Tang En narrowed his eyes: "You mean..."
"I didn't say anything."
Alberton shrugged: "What to do depends on your choice."
"Lord."
Fiona came over: "All the wounded have been dealt with, with a total of 352 seriously injured and 448 minor injuries. Now all have been cured. There are still half a bucket of diluted goddess blood. I have asked someone to fill it up and reserve it in the future."
The diluted ones need to be refilled...
Tang En looked speechless, Fiona was too good at living.
After reporting on the situation, Fiona said with admiration: "But Lord Lord, you have used such a precious treasure to treat them. Now the residents of Ellington are very friendly to you. After you take office, the resistance to implementing the policy will definitely be very small."
Tang En nodded without comment, and then said, "It's almost time, accompany me to the banquet."
"Go to the banquet?"
Fiona was shocked: "Lord, are you really going to sit with that guy for dinner? This may greatly affect your reputation in the hearts of the residents!"
Tang En smiled: "Don't worry... they will understand."
I am just a new arrival, and the gold coins in the game cannot be used in reality. If you want to take the first step, of course you have to have a "good talk" with Hogg to get a "political starting fund".
Tang En believed that once the news of his blackmailing Hogg was spread, the residents of Ellington would be angry. At this time, he would introduce some people-friendly policies at the right time and would definitely settle down in this position immediately.
As for the future development...
Tang En laughed. With the knowledge he had learned on earth, his broad vision and forward-looking nature, it would be a relaxing thing to develop a territory?
Now, Hogg is his stepping stone.
"Uncle Alberton."
Ronnie ran over and saw Tang En's departure back frowning slightly, and said disdainfully: "This guy is sneaky and must not be a good person. I must arrest him and interrogate him later... Why do you look at me like this?"
Ronnie found that the people around him looked at him with a very strange look, and she felt a little strange.
"Ronnie, don't be disrespectful to Lord Lord!"
To be continued...
