Mark stood on the second floor of the stone house, quietly looking down.

Pierce and Morey were afraid of Janice in Ronald's hand, so they had to stop. But Evin didn't.

Evan took the spear from Lem's hand, the steel spear pointed at Ronald.

"Ronald, your fate has been sealed since you betrayed your master! Whoever betrays his master, die! Evin said coldly.

Ronald knew that he was cornered, but he let go of his courage and no longer feared Evan.

"What a betrayal, I just don't want to die with that stupid lord!"

Ronald moved to the door, he made up his mind, after escaping this time, he would leave Red Forest Town immediately, this red clay ridge was so big, he didn't believe that Evan could find him.

Evin's eyes narrowed, and just as Ronald was about to step out of the door, the spear stabbed out. Ronald smiled disdainfully, and he blocked Janice in front of him. The thin Janice was already frightened at this time, her two beautiful big eyes were round, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Evan's spear stopped in front of Janice.

"Hmph." Ronald snorted smugly, and was already out of the gate, when suddenly, he threw Janice out and fled to the south. To the south is the red pine forest, where Ronald is most familiar.

The skinny Janice was thrown out by the strong and powerful Ronald, and before Pierce and the others could react, Janice hit the stone steps in front of the door. Suddenly, blood poured out of her neck like a spring......

"Janice!" Morey hurriedly helped her up, but by this time, Janice was out of breath.

"Chase!" Pierce snorted coldly, and the four of them immediately chased into the red pine forest.

From beginning to end, Mark watched coldly, even when he saw Janice killed, he was not moved in the slightest.

Half an hour later, Pierce came back with Ronald under the pressure of the four, and all five of them were wounded, with Ewen being the most injured: his clothes were in tatters, and there was blood on his face and hands.

"Master, I've got the traitor Ronald back!" Evin was impatient to show credit in front of Mark, and Ronald was pinned to the ground by him.

Ronald had blood on his chin and swollen eyes, and he looked embarrassed. However, in the face of Mark, Ronald showed his fierce side. His red eyes glared at Mark, clenching his teeth like a wounded beast.

"Take him, and Janice's body." Wearing a robe and holding a magic wand, Mark whispered.

The group was led into town by Mark.

"Hoodles, gather everybody." Mark commanded.

Ten minutes later, the whole town gathered in the center of the town, and when they saw Ronald who was being escorted, several people who fled with him stood on the periphery with twinkling eyes, ready to escape at any time.

Janice's body was placed aside by Morey, and her family gathered around them, grief spreading from them.

"I'm Mark Seven, Lord of Redwood." Mark's voice rang out, "From the moment I arrived here, everything in Redwoods, including your lives, belonged to me. ”

Mark's words caused a slight uproar, but no one dared to stand up and refute it.

"Yesterday, my guards, in the face of danger, left me as their master and fled alone." Mark pointed at Ronald, who wanted to say something, but he slapped Evan in the big mouth and didn't say it.

"Now, I will punish him before you, so that you can see the fate of betraying me." Mark said, behind him, an earthy yellow stone pillar emerged from the ground, two meters high, and it was all in one.

......Seeing this scene, the noise around him came. On the outside of the crowd, the other seven people who fled with Ronald were not shocked and wanted to escape quietly.

"Tom ......" The seven people took a step, but it was as if they had fallen into a pond, and it turned out that a quagmire had appeared under their feet, and the mire engulfed them from the waist down.

Seeing this, the townsfolk around hurriedly retreated, some of the knowledgeable knew that it was magic, and those who did not only thought they had seen a miracle.

"Evan, tie him to the stone pillar." Mark ordered.

"Yes, master!"

Mark looked at Pierce again: "Pierce, bring Ronald's family up!" ”

Pierce bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency, Ronald arrived in Redwood Town two years ago, and he has no family here. ”

"Bring the other seven people here, as well as their families, no one is missing!"

Pierce had a bad feeling in his heart, but having seen the power of a magician, he did not dare to disobey Mark's orders. In a few moments, Pierce brought seven people from the quagmire, along with their families. From gray-haired old men to two- or three-year-old children.

The atmosphere at the scene became extremely solemn.

"Whoever betrays me will surely die, and his family will not be spared; He who resents me will be deprived of his life; If they are dissatisfied, I will expel them. Mark whispered.

Pierce's face changed, and he could already imagine what would happen to these people.

"Lordship......" Pierce knelt down.

Mark looked at Pierce, who was immediately speechless.

"Peng!" The flames flickered and enveloped Ronald and the others, causing the surrounding townspeople to retreat again.

In the light of the fire, Mark, dressed in a black robe, looked unusually tall.

In the flames, bursts of wails came, which made people feel creepy. As time passed, the wailing gradually subsided, and the aroma of barbecue began to spread in the cold wind.

After three minutes, the flames were gone, leaving only a black cloud on the ground.

"Tom......" Mark's side, people kept kneeling on the ground, and finally, the whole audience knelt down. Mark didn't say anything about it.

After waiting for more than an hour, the kneeling man raised his head, but by this time, Mark had already left.

Ever since Mark executed the betrayers and burned their families to death, Redwoods has been enveloped in terror. Everyone was cautious, for fear of angering the lord and being burned by him. You must know that the population of Honglin Town is only in the past two hundred, and Mark burned one-eighth of it to death at one time!

Until then, they had not felt the impact of the lord's arrival on their lives.

Not to mention Honglin Town, even the current atmosphere of the Baron's Mansion has changed. Originally, there were nineteen people in the Baron's Palace, but now there are only eight left, and the huge Baron's Palace looks very deserted.

"Morey, do you think I'm cruel?" Mark asked Morey suddenly.

Morey was silent for a moment and said, "They betrayed the lord, and they deserve death!" ”

The weather is getting colder and colder, and several groups of red-tailed wolves rushed into Redwood Town for food, but in front of Mark, no matter how many red-tailed wolves are useless, a magic continues, and those red-tailed wolves are killed without resistance.

"It's time to explore the resources within the territory." Dressed in his robes, Mark took Morey and Pierce and walked along the mountain road to the east. Mark's domain is all over the town of Redwoods, and he has unquestionable ownership of everything here. However, due to his lack of strength before, Mark couldn't leave Redwood Town at all, but after becoming a magician, Mark was no longer afraid of the dangers around him.

Led by Pierce, the three of them came to a valley more than twenty miles away.

"My lord, that's where that piece of iron ore was found." Pierce said.

Honglin Town is not without resources, as early as more than a decade ago, an iron mine was discovered here. However, iron ore is relatively cheap in this world, and Honglin Town is very remote, so there is little value in mining.

In fact, there are many more metal elements in this world than in Mark's previous life. What's more, some metals also have very amazing functions. Let's just say that a kind of black iron ore that is widely distributed in this world, the black iron smelted from black iron ore is light in weight and hard, and is usually used as armor for low-level knights.

What Mark and the others are looking for now is a red iron mine. Eryrite is not as valuable as black ironite, but it is enough to craft ordinary weapons.

Mark added a levitation technique to himself, but with his magic level, he couldn't fly even if he used the levitation technique, so he could only make himself more agile. Pierce and Morey followed him, and the three of them broke into the valley.

"My lord, a caravan surveyed this iron ore two years ago, but then they left and never returned." Pierce said.

"Why?" Morey asked.

Pierce said: "The other party thought that the value of this iron ore was not large, and the mining cost was too high, so it was not cost-effective, so they gave up." ”

Mark looked at the hill ahead and frowned.

"Pierce, did the other party say what the reserves of this iron mine are?" Mark asked.

"I came with them at the time, and I overheard it, it seemed to be about a thousand tons." Pierce recalled.

A thousand tons is a thousand tons in the previous life, and such an iron mine is indeed not worth mining.

"Have you found any other deposits besides this iron ore?" Mark asked.

Pierce shook his head: "There are a lot of minerals in the Red Clay Ridge, but they are all buried deeply. A small town like ours has no prospecting capacity and can only rely on luck. However, this kind of thing can't happen a few times. ”

Mark knows that this is indeed the case.

"Are there any previous mineral deposits near Honglin Town?" Mark asked again.

"Yes!" Pierce Road.

"Oh, tell me more about it!"

Pierce paused and said, "To the west of Redforest Town, there is a ruby mine. This ruby mine was discovered fifteen years ago and is still being mined today. ”

"Ruby Mine? Where is it? "Mark is interested, red jade is a kind of jade, put in the previous life, it is comparable to red jadeite, but in this world, its value is not so high. However, Ruby is valuable to Mark, a material that can be used to build a mage tower.
