Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 31

Green Shade Territory Outer City.

Fortune Inn.

Leon walked in, patted the rainwater off his body.

The front desk was empty, no one could continue working anymore.

This inn belonged to the earliest infected place, because it was unfortunately chosen by Giovanni Keegan as a lodging point.

A total of three floors, 20 rooms, 33 people.

Leon pushed open the door of the first room, saw Andrew’s parents, the innkeepers.

“I’m sorry, guest, you shouldn’t come here, we are all sick, please leave as soon as possible.”

Andrew’s father was wearing a cloak, leaning on a cane, extending a bloody and disfigured hand, holding bread. Andrew’s mother was hugging their young daughter, wrapped in a blanket, curled up on the bed, letting out heavy gasping sounds.

The three saw Leon and showed expressions of both surprise and fear.

“Since you’re sick, you should report it immediately, why hide it?”

“We… we don’t want to die.”

The man under the black robe said tremblingly, “Marjorie is only 8 years old, she shouldn’t have to face this.”

“So now? You can just not die?”

The man lowered his head, said in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry, guest, we don’t want to infect you, please leave quickly.”

“Apologies are useless, you will be fined.”

Leon didn’t want to treat everyone in the inn for free, but he also didn’t want to charge treatment fees, because that would make him seem like a wandering quack. As a dignified Lord, charging his subjects for medical treatment was simply too low-status.

Therefore, everyone must pay a fine!

Andrew’s family was stunned.

If not for the pain brought by the disease, they would definitely think this young and handsome man before them was a lunatic at this moment.

Fining people in a severely affected area, fining a group of people who are about to die, is this serious?

Outside the Fortune Inn, Andrew had returned to the guard formation, but his heart was incredibly uneasy.

Every minute spent outside the door was agony for him.

But he could not disobey the Lord’s command and could not enter the inn.

Guard Captain Cob, who had many scars on his face and was tall and burly, also felt his heart rise.

If something happened to Leon, he would also be held responsible.

He remembered old Lord Moria’s instructions before he left.

Since he couldn’t persuade Lord Leon, he could only find the three ministers.

“Lyra, Pike, Hunter, go inform the three ministers now, tell them to come as soon as possible.”

“Yes.”

Three guards stepped forward, rode their horses, and quickly disappeared into the rainy night.

An hour later, the three ministers arrived at the Fortune Inn in a galloping carriage.

They even got out of the carriage without umbrellas, rushing to the inn door in the rain.

Head of Internal Affairs Karel Dennis wiped his makeup, which had been smudged by the rain, and immediately started cursing at Cob,

“How could you let the Lord go in by himself? Do you know how important the Lord is to Green Shade Territory?”

Cob lowered his head, knowing that explaining was also meaningless.

Minister of Finance Omari Hani asked nervously, “How long has Lord Leon been inside?”

“It’s already been an hour.”

Cob said.

“Let’s hurry in and bring the Lord out.”

Alex Poole came to Annie’s side.

Annie did not stop him.

Because the inn’s door had already been pushed open from the inside by someone.

Leon’s splendid coat was stained with quite a bit of blood, and his face was also a bit pale, due to excessive physical exertion.

Annie held up an umbrella for him.

Leon looked at the three ministers in surprise, “Why have you come? Do you want to go to the church together to receive holy water baptism?”

“Lord Leon, are you alright?”

Alex Poole asked.

“I’m fine.”

Leon cleared 23 red entries in one go, obtaining 4600 points. As for the others, they had already died from the illness, their bodies in the inn rooms had already begun to rot.

The source of infection, Giovanni Keegan, also died, failing to let Leon obtain more points.

Leon wiped the dirt off his hands, and said to Cob,

“Captain Cob, write down the names of these people inside. Each person still alive will be fined 10,000 copper coins. Find a place to bury the dead. Those who cannot afford the fine will be sent to the church as volunteers.”

“Yes!”

Cob saluted briskly, placing his hand over his heart and clenching his fist.

He hadn’t expected that Leon, this young Lord, could actually treat the Red Itch Plague, one of the ten great incurable diseases.

“Since the three of you are here, then accompany me on a trip to the church.”

Leon got into the carriage, and the three ministers also followed him into the carriage.

Annie, with a pained heart, took off his blood-stained coat. This outfit was one of the best-fitting ones she had made.

The heavy rain grew larger, but the guard troop still advanced neatly towards the direction of the church.

Inside the luxurious carriage, the three ministers couldn’t help but inquire about Leon’s situation.

“Lord, has the Red Itch Plague truly appeared within the high wall?”

“Yes. Starting tomorrow, have everyone go to the church to get holy water. No one knows who these sources of infection and severely ill patients have been in contact with.”

Leon said with a calm expression. He was waiting for the Entry Shop to refresh entries for him, but unfortunately, the system seemed to have a delay.

Without new entries, he would remain very weak.

If it doesn’t refresh, he can only exchange for old entries.

“Why did the Red Itch Plague appear? We have strictly prohibited those refugees from Blue Moon Territory from entering the city.”

Karel Dennis asked in confusion.

“You know about Blue Moon Territory?”

Leon asked.

“Yes. Just over half a month ago, Blue Moon Territory was destroyed because the witch lost control.”

Karel Dennis said in a deep voice. “Many refugees poured out of Blue Moon Territory. These people were all infected with the plague, so no territory was willing to take them in.”

“How many refugees have sought refuge with us?”

Leon asked.

“It wasn’t counted, but the vast majority were sent to be buried alive as soon as they arrived at the city gate.”

Karel Dennis said.

Leon rubbed his forehead, thinking about how he was buried alive as soon as he arrived in Green Shade Territory. If Sophie hadn’t appeared in time, he would have probably died in White Bone Forest.

“Don’t do this kind of thing anymore. Have the guards build villages outside the high wall to accommodate them.”

What Karel Dennis saw were refugees one after another, but what Leon saw were pulsating points one after another.

“Are you going to save them?”

Karel Dennis asked in surprise.

A strange brilliance also flickered in Alex Poole’s eyes.

Minister of Finance Omari Hani strongly objected, “Lord Leon, our Green Shade Territory has just finished repaying the first loan installment, and the economy hasn’t improved yet. We don’t have the ability to take in so many people. We don’t have money.”

“The bank doesn’t have money?”

“The bank has money, but we need to take out loans for more meaningful things. It cannot be used on them. They are refugees from Blue Moon Territory; they should not become our burden.”

Minister of Finance Omari Hani said.

“Then make them pay. If they don’t have money, they can pay with labor. Green Shade Territory needs development; we need a lot of labor. As for their diseases, you don’t need to worry, I will solve it.”

Saving this batch of refugees was more beneficial than harmful to Leon. Firstly, he cleared entries and gained points. Secondly, he gained money to fill his personal treasury. Finally, those who couldn’t afford to pay would become laborers for Green Shade Territory, contributing to development for free, and contributing to raising Green Shade Territory’s GDP.

“Can you really save so many refugees by yourself?”

The three ministers asked worriedly.

“Who said I’m alone? It’s time for the church to contribute as well.”

Those with entries would be handled by Leon. Those who hadn’t acquired entries, and were only mildly infected or facing infection, would naturally be handled by the church.

Otherwise, why build so many churches in Green Shade Territory? It’s time to unleash the power of God!
