Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 9

Clip-clop, clip-clop—

A warhorse pulling a luxurious carriage galloped on the mountain road, gradually moving away from Green Shade Territory.

Six-star Glorious Knight Rand John, riding a tall warhorse clad in armor, guarded in front of the carriage. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he watched his surroundings alertly.

Moria pulled back the curtain and smiled at Rand John,

“Old friend, don’t be like this, don’t be nervous. I have a premonition, today is not my dying day.”

“Lord Moria, why didn’t you tell Lord Leon the truth and left without a word like this? He will think you deserted and left him a mess.”

The upright Rand John said.

“I did leave him a mess, haha.”

Moria laughed. He was full of vigor, with no trace of illness.

Clearly, the wheelchair and IV drip were just acting.

“The reason you incurred such a huge debt to the bank is not because you sought pleasure, but to avoid getting Green Shade Territory involved in the war and not sending troops to attack the Azure Dragon Court. No matter how much His Majesty the King wants Green Shade Territory to send troops, he will give up because Green Shade Territory is short of money.”

Rand John said seriously.

“No, I just sought pleasure. I spent those 300 million gold lavishly every day, buying estates and properties for my mistresses.”

Moria said with a smile.

“You left quietly to go to the tower to search for a new guardian who can replace the Ice Witch Sophie. You are going on a near-death mission this time, so you don’t want to tell Lord Leon, you don’t want him to worry about you.”

Rand John continued to say seriously.

“No, I also took all my wives, concubines, and jewels. I just escaped from Green Shade Territory because the witch lost control, and I would have died in Green Shade Territory too.”

Moria turned sideways and kissed the crystal ball in his hand.

In the crystal ball, 33 beautiful noble ladies were holding a tea party. They were laughing and talking, as if frozen in the best time of their lives.

“Lord Moria, only I know how much you have sacrificed for Green Shade Territory. Please don’t always dwell in the past, we should embrace the future. Gifts are not for reminiscing.”

Rand John seemed to realize he had said something wrong and didn’t continue speaking.

The smile on Moria’s face gradually disappeared, and a trace of unusual brilliance flashed in his murky eyes.

“This is a gift, and also a curse. I used it to build the Green Shade Territory of today, but time and again I lost my closest and dearest loved ones. Before I go to the tower, allow me to go to Blueberry Town to bring back Daisy, she is a kind girl.”

“Did you see something?”

Rand John asked again.

“Yes, I saw Leon, my son, leading Green Shade Territory towards light.”

In the crystal ball, the noble ladies had children playing at their knees, and children surrounded them, showing innocent smiles.

They were all Moria’s children.

“What is the price this time?”

“The price… is that I have lost Leon forever.”

Rand John felt that he was understanding Lord Moria less and less. The two seemed to be constantly on two different wavelengths, but this did not affect their communication.

After all, he was Lord Moria’s old friend of 40 years. They had been the closest companions since they were playing in the mud.

At this time, Leon, the man whom Moria said would lead Green Shade Territory towards light, was attending a noble dinner party.

The theme of the dinner party was to welcome Leon, the new city lord.

After learning about Leon’s heroic deed of driving away the Imperial Bank’s debt collection army with just a few words, the nobles of Green Shade Territory all looked at this new Lord with new eyes and flocked to the banquet.

Of course, their purpose was definitely not simply to congratulate Leon on becoming the new Lord.

After a few rounds of drinks, the organizer of the banquet and the wealthiest man in Green Shade Territory apart from the Lord, Romiada, under everyone’s expectant gazes, tentatively asked Leon,

“Lord Leon, did the Ice Witch truly not obtain the 【On the Verge of Losing Control】 entry?”

“Yes, Miss Sophie did not obtain the 【On the Verge of Losing Control】 entry. Everyone can stay in Green Shade Territory with peace of mind.”

Leon said with a smile. Two flushed spots appeared on his cheeks, which is what most people look like before getting drunk.

“Why did Lord Moria leave?”

Romiada asked again.

“Father missed my mother Daisy too much, so he went to Blueberry Town to visit her grave. He did not abandon everyone.”

Leon said.

“I heard Lord Moria emptied the treasury?”

Romiada continued to ask.

“Father must take some belongings with him on his journey, right? As for the treasury being emptied, that’s purely a rumor.”

“I heard Lord Moria also took the Knight Legion?”

“That’s the knight army guarding Father. There are only 1,000 of them in total. The real army has always been stationed in Green Shade Territory.”

“I heard Lord Moria also took his wives and concubines?”

“Father can’t travel alone, right? It would be too boring if there was no one to talk to along the way.”

“I heard Lord Moria also took the butler Mr. Dennis.”

“Dennis was a spy and escaped after the matter was exposed.”

“I heard Lord Moria offended His Majesty the King.”

“That’s a rumor, please don’t believe it.”

Leon answered their questions one by one. Although he had already cursed old blond fox Moria countless times in his heart, in front of outsiders, Leon still had to maintain his image. This was entirely to stabilize this group of old geezers at the banquet.

If they were to know that Moria had fled, it’s possible that this group of people would follow suit and run away.

Who would he sell his land to then? Who would build houses and develop real estate? Who would boost the economy?

“Is the Divine Gift still here?”

Finally, the wealthiest man Romiada’s eyes narrowed slightly, like an old fox, and he asked in a low voice in Leon’s ear.

Leon froze for a moment.

What Divine Gift?

The original Leon was just a blacksmith apprentice and had never heard of what a Gift was, which meant the current Leon also didn’t know.

So, Leon decided to pretend to be confused.

He lay on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

As if he had truly drunk too much and was unconscious.

The maids Anna and Annie could only help him up, bid farewell to the numerous guests, and escort him back to his bedroom.

What Gift? Does Green Shade Territory have a Gift too?

Leon decided to ask the Ice Witch Sophie.

Anna and Annie were definitely unreliable. The nobles already knew about Lord Moria’s escape. Perhaps it was Anna, with the 【Spy】 entry above her head, who spread the news.

Leon returned to his bedroom and felt Anna changing his clothes.

He allowed the beautiful Miss Maid to help him take off his luxurious coat and inner garments, put on silk pajamas, and settle him on the bed.

Feeling Anna and Annie move away from the room, and hearing the sound of the door closing, he slowly opened his eyes.

Sophie pulled back the curtain and walked out of the shadows.

That’s right, he did hide Miss Witch in his bedroom.

Mainly for a sense of security.

Leon didn’t want to have his throat slit by an assassin while he was sleeping.

“Sophie, what is the Divine Gift?”

Sophie’s silver eyelashes trembled slightly, and she spoke in an ethereal voice,

“That is a gift from the true god Taige to this world. Each piece possesses extraordinary power. There are a total of 10 in the Empire, known as Imperial Treasures. They are ranked from Sequence 1 to Sequence 10 based on the order of their discovery. Only the King and Lords are qualified to control them.”

“What is Green Shade Territory’s Gift?”
