Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 33

Amidst the torrential rain, the carriage drove back to the Lord’s Mansion.

Leon had been busy all day and finally lay back on his soft bed.

“Anna, Annie, you should go back and rest too.”

After dismissing the two maids, Leon opened his Entry Shop.

There were still only three entries in the shop, but his accumulated points had reached 4900.

Could it be that the points weren’t enough for the exchange value of new entries, which is why no new entries appeared?

Leon felt this was highly probable.

But he had pushed his limits today. His body couldn’t handle continued work, just like the exhausted Father Seymour.

If his Constitution hadn’t reached 9, far exceeding the level of a 1-Star Knight, he simply wouldn’t have been able to withstand 26 cleaning sessions in a single day.

All he wanted now was a good night’s sleep and he would think about the rest tomorrow.

Leon closed his eyes, smelling a familiar fragrance.

The temperature in the air seemed to have dropped a little. He pulled his blanket tighter, closed his eyes, and asked softly,

“Is that Sophie back?”

“Mm.”

Sophie responded faintly.

“Good night.”

“Good night.”

Sophie sat by Leon’s bed, wiping her transparent flowerpot. The seed in the flowerpot had not sprouted yet.

Leon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Leon opened his eyes, hearing a familiar notification sound in his ear.

【Constitution +1】

Hmm? What’s going on?

He practiced swordsmanship every day and never got a Constitution +1 notification.

He had just woken up today and received an unexpected surprise.

Could it be because he pushed his limits yesterday?

Verifying this guess was simple: just try breaking his limits a few more times.

Coincidentally, Green Shade Territory was currently undergoing a city-wide check, and there were still quite a few infected people gathered outside the high wall.

“Sophie, good morning.”

Leon greeted the Ice Witch standing by the window.

Sophie nodded slightly.

“Anna, Annie, good morning.”

Leon waved to the twin maids.

Annie handed Leon a brand new formal wear, “Sister made this overnight. Please, My Lord, do not let it get stained again.”

Leon looked at Annie’s dark circles and smiled, nodding, “Thank Anna for me.”

Anna was standing nearby, pretending not to have heard anything.

“Anna, how is Romiada’s family doing?”

Leon turned his head and asked Anna.

“Lord Romiada expressed his sincere gratitude. He is willing to pay a tuition fee of 500 gold coins per month and hopes you can nurture his daughter into a talented person.”

500 gold coins a month? You’re asking for a fortune!

Leon hadn’t expected Anna to be so ruthless. He had originally only intended to charge 1 gold coin a month for tuition, which was already the highest standard for hiring a top-class private tutor in a noble family.

The lowest common currency in this world was copper coins. The average commoner’s monthly income was only about 1000 copper coins, which was equivalent to 10 silver coins. Ten months’ income would only equal 1 gold coin.

500 gold coins was equivalent to commoners working for 5000 months, which was over four hundred years!

This was blatant wealth disparity!

“If you think I charged too little, I can go talk to old Lord Romiada again.”

Anna said.

“No, this is perfect.”

Leon changed his clothes. After washing up, he opened the bedroom door.

The familiar faces of the three ministers appeared before him. The Minister of Finance was wiping sweat, the Head of Internal Affairs was looking in the mirror, and the Minister of External Affairs was staring blankly.

Clearly, all three had been waiting for a long time.

“Lord Leon, we have followed your instructions and had everyone in Green Shade Territory go to the churches for holy water purification, but the population of Green Shade Territory is simply too large. Even with 22 churches working simultaneously, they cannot accommodate so many people.”

The heavily made-up Karel Dennis put away his exquisite small mirror and said with a serious expression.

“Anna, the map.”

Leon extended his hand.

Anna handed him a map. He drew two circles on the map as he walked.

“Inner city: centered around Romiada’s mansion, expanding outwards 3000 meters. These areas have priority for holy water purification. Outer city: centered around the Fortune Inn, radiating outwards 6000 meters. These areas also have priority for purification. You figure out the other problems yourself. I believe you can handle this small matter.”

Leon knew that Karel Dennis was capable. Otherwise, Moria wouldn’t have left him to him. The prerequisite was to give him a direction first and not let him make judgments on his own.

“Alright.”

Karel Dennis immediately understood Leon’s intention.

“Lord Leon, the guards have already assembled and are heading outside the territory. Captain Cob is leading them to build a village near the White Bone Forest to accommodate the refugees.”

Minister of External Affairs Alex Poole said.

The division of labor in Green Shade Territory was very clear. Matters within the territory were managed by Karel Dennis, and matters outside the territory were managed by Alex Poole.

If those refugees entered Green Shade Territory, Alex Poole would hand over the task of settling them to Karel Dennis.

Finance was managed by the Minister of Finance, and the army was directly managed by the Lord.

The three ministers were also directly accountable to the Lord.

This ensured the Lord’s absolute authority.

The army was divided into the Knight Army and the Guard Army. The Knight Army was composed of nobles and had been taken away by Moria. The Guard Army was composed of commoners and was currently defending Green Shade Territory.

Captain Cob was just one of the four division captains. The other three captains were also directly accountable to Leon.

Below the four captains were countless squad leaders, collectively handling military affairs.

Leon nodded slightly, “Let’s go, let’s go see the refugees from Blue Moon Territory outside the city.”

As Leon walked out of the Lord’s Mansion, he saw the petite loli Layla.

Layla excitedly rushed over,

“Teacher, can we start learning swordsmanship today?”

“No, I am very busy today.”

Leon directly refused Layla’s request.

Layla lowered her head in disappointment.

Considering that Romiada had paid a considerable tuition fee, he patted Layla’s shoulder, “You can follow Bill and learn first.”

Bill was Leon’s swordsmanship instructor. His monthly salary was 3000 copper coins, which was 30 silver coins.

So Leon was still making a profit.

Layla nodded excitedly repeatedly. She couldn’t wait to become a knight.

Leon, Sophie, the two maids, and the three ministers got into their respective carriages.

Although the three ministers wanted to ride in the same carriage as Leon, if all three squeezed in, it would be too crowded.

After all, there were already four people in the carriage.

Karel Dennis did not go to the outer city with the others. His carriage turned towards the church.

He had many things to deal with today.

Omari Hani and Alex Poole shared a carriage. Along the way, Omari Hani was calculating the loan matters.

Alex Poole just wanted to plug his ears with cotton, not wanting to listen to the middle-aged fat man’s rambling.

The carriage passed through the inner wall and reached the outer city, finally arriving at the majestic high wall.

Passing through the city gate of the high wall, they came outside the high wall.

Many guards and refugees were gathered here.

“Lord Leon.”

The clear-eyed and handsome young man Andrew put down a piece of wood and looked at Leon in excitement.

A look of confusion appeared in Leon’s eyes.

Anna introduced, “Nobody.”

“You probably don’t remember me. I am Andrew, number 432 of the Southern Army. Yesterday you saved my father, mother, and sister.”

Andrew said with red eyes, still somewhat shaken recalling his family almost being buried alive.

“Lord Leon, I am willing to give everything for you.”

Andrew said seriously.

Leon nodded slightly, “Then prepare the fine for your family. Not a single copper coin less.”

Andrew was stunned for a moment, completely not expecting Leon to say that.

“Andrew, what are you doing here?”

Cob reprimanded, “Hurry up and carry the wooden stakes. Your task is not finished.”

“Yes, yes, Captain.”

Andrew nodded, picked up a wooden stake, and continued walking forward, joining the troop of laboring guards.

Cob frowned and came to Leon’s side,

“I’m sorry, My Lord, Andrew disturbed you.”

“No, I appreciate such a young and enthusiastic guard.”

Leon said with a smile, his peripheral vision catching a suspicious figure secretly trying to sneak into the city with a merchant caravan.
