Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 324 Return to the Northern Territory!
It got light very quickly.

Moria and his companions talked all night before finally getting sleepy.

Looking at the sky outside the tent, Li En took out his pocket watch and prepared to give Isaac another day.

Raven was the first to lead his team to the settlement. There was a reason he had survived until now: he possessed a powerful knightly order, whose leader was already close to a seven-star Order Knight, only needing one more opportunity to level up.

Now the knights have only 10 members left, but they still ensure Raven's safety.

Afterwards, Kailan led his team to the entrance of the rift and joined up with Li En and the others.

Kalan's team only has two knights left. Like Montoya, the only difference is that Kalan did not rely on outside help and returned on his own. He is a very smart person. Even though everyone in the team is of similar strength and there are no overly powerful individuals, he has persevered until now.

Isaac and Elijah finally returned to the camp as dusk fell, having successfully brought back the seriously injured Anton and completed their rescue mission.

Like Hamilton's army, Anton's forces were almost completely wiped out, leaving only him alive.

All the Moria who were still alive in the rift gathered together.

They stood neatly before Li En, Isaac, Brown, Stowe, and the others treating him as if he were their elder or uncle, as if he were Grand Duke Moria, filled with nothing but awe and trust.

Although Raven and Kaylan had other ideas, they felt it wasn't the right time and chose to follow the crowd.

In their view, since the Chosen One, Li En, himself admitted that he had no interest in the position of Lord of the North, he was not their enemy.

Moreover, the North is about to face a huge crisis, and unity is the top priority.

In the wind and snow, Li En asked one last question.
"Would you rather come back to the North with me to save your families, or stay in the Rift and continue your exploration?"

"Back to the North! Back to the North! Back to the North!"

Moriah’s sons answered in unison.

"Alright, Kerser, let's begin."

Li En looked at the wizard Kerser.

Kerser nodded.

Previously, he had the knights and adventurers build an altar.

This altar was not used to open the exit of the rift, but to contact the gatekeeper, Samuel LeFeu Moriah.

Samuel LeFeu Moria was able to open the entrance to the rift and allow everyone to enter, so he must also know how to open the exit.

Kerser believed that as long as he could contact him, he could find a way out.

Kerser slowly walked up to the altar, his staff inlaid with bones dancing in the cold wind, chanting in an ancient and obscure language.

The brazier on the altar was burning with items that belonged to Samuel LeFeu Moria.

It was a ring that Samuel LeFeu Moria had once worn, given to Field by him before he entered the rift.

Alex Moria's godson seemed to have anticipated that Field would need to contact him.

Kerser slashed his palm with a dagger, and dark, cursed blood flowed from his body.

The stench of blood seemed amplified by the altar, wafting through the air, and hopefully attracting countless rift monsters.

They seemed to know that the crack would reopen, and they all longed to leave this place and go to the outside world, their eyes gleaming with greed and hope.

This area had been cleared away, but now it's bustling again.

Sophie built ice walls to keep the monsters out.

Aisley released a vine cage, trapping the advancing monsters.

The knights took up their swords and shields and bravely fought against the monsters.

This allows the wizard Kerser to concentrate on casting spells.

Kerser's eyes suddenly turned from black to white. His consciousness successfully passed through the ritual, left his body, briefly left the rift, and found Samuel LeFeu Moria.

A crow appeared at Samuel Lefo Moriah's window.

The crow's pupils turned eerily pure white, and it began to speak human language.

"Lord Moria needs your help. Tell me how the rift opened. We need to leave the rift and return to the North."

"who are you?"

Samuel LeFou Moriah looked intently at the crow.

“I am a wizard from the Northern Continent, and I pledge allegiance to the chosen one of God, Lien Moriah.”

The crow spoke slowly.

Samuel LeFeu Moria narrowed his eyes. He didn't recall anyone named Lee En Moria, but the Moria family had many offspring, and it was impossible for him to know them all.

"To leave the rift ahead of time, we need to use Gift Crystals, combining internal and external forces. Have you prepared enough Gift Crystals?"

"This is none of Lord Samuel LeFeu Moria's concern."

"Tell me, who is planning to leave the rift ahead of time?"

“The living offspring of Moriah have already made their decision.”

The raven flew to Samuel Lefo Moriah's shoulder, gouged out its own left eye with its claws, and handed it to Samuel Lefo Moriah.

Through this eye, Samuel LeFeu Moria saw everything that the wizard Kerser had seen.

The faces of characters including Field, Isaac, Brown, Stowe, Anton, Hamilton, Raven, Kaylan, Montoya, and others, as well as the knights who fought against the Rift Monster.

“They should continue exploring the rift and not rush out. This is not what the King in the North wants to see. Let them remain in the rift and tell them that the King in the North is waiting for them in the new world.”

Samuel LeFou Moriah said to the raven.

"No, you cannot make decisions for them. Only God's chosen ones can determine the direction of future development. You only need to assist me in opening the exit of the rift."

The crow's tone left no room for argument.

Samuel LeFeu Moria frowned slightly. "I answer only to the King in the North."

"If you do not believe in God, you will be cursed."

The crow swooped down toward Samuel LeFeu Moriah.

Samuel LeFou Moria swung his sword and cut the raven in two.

“The witchcraft of the Northern Continent should not appear here.”

Samuel LeFou Moria frowned.

He was unaware of the calamity that would befall the North, for the disease was currently only breaking out in the most prosperous capital city of the North and had not yet reached the Northern Wall.

He only knew how to carry out the orders of the King in the North.

What was the King in the North's order? It was to make him the gatekeeper of the Rift, allowing Moria's children to enter, not leave.

On the other side, Kerser's eyes on the altar turned dark green again, and he spat out a mouthful of thick blood.

His body trembled, and he nearly fell.

Li En caught him in time, "How are you?"

“The foolish Samuel LeFeu Moriah is unwilling to help us.”

"Have you made contact with him?"

Even succubi couldn't break through the rift and make contact with the outside world, but the wizard Xer had done it, which was a huge breakthrough.

"Yes, but I have not completed my mission. I am sorry, my great master."

"Don't blame yourself too much. How many more times can we make this kind of contact?" Kerser glanced at the ring burning in the brazier; it was already melting from the high temperature.
"At most once, once the ring has completely melted away, it will be impossible to contact it again."

"Okay, please pass on a message to Samuel LeFeu Moriah."

Li En whispered in the wizard Kerser's ear, and Kerser nodded and began chanting the obscure incantation again.

When Samuel LeFou Moriah saw the crows on the windowsill again, his first instinct was to shoo them away.

“Samuel LeFeu Moriah, the Chosen One has sent me with a message.”

The crow spoke human language.

Samuel LeFeu Moria narrowed his eyes. "What?"

“The heir to the King in the North has been chosen. The competition can end early. Open the rift, or all of Moria’s offspring will die inside.”

"What? The successor has been chosen?"

Samuel LeFeu Moriah looked at the raven in surprise. "Who is it?"

"You'll know when the rift opens. Or would you rather see all of Moria's offspring die inside?"

"Impossible. The rift may be dangerous, but it won't kill everyone."

Samuel LeFou Moriah was quite certain.

"What if there's a witch inside the rift?"

"The crow asked."

"What? The witch is inside the rift?"

Samuel LeFou Moria frowned.

If the witch goes out of control within the rift, things will get really bad.

Fifteen minutes later, Kerser's soul returned to his body, and he was now afflicted with a curse, making him appear ten years older.

"Samuel LeFou Moriah agreed."

Kerser said to Lee with a smile.

Lee patted Keser on the shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work. If you need any help, just let me know."

“Great master, I have only done what I should do. I already know how to use the crystal. Please have the servant bring it to me.”

"kindness."

Lee looked at Field.

Most of the Gift Crystals are in Field's hands, so theoretically Field should be the biggest winner of this competition and the future heir to the King in the North.

Therefore, Li En said that the successor to the King of the North has been chosen, and there is no problem with that.

However, the proud and arrogant Raven and the obviously old-timer Kalan will most likely not recognize Field's legitimate status.

Kerser obtained the Gift Crystal, but he still needs to cooperate with Samuel LeFeu Moria outside.

He held the crystal high, chanted an incantation, and waited for Samuel LeFeu Moria outside the crack to respond.

Samuel LeFeu Moria rode a polar bear to the foot of the Northern Wall.

The wind and snow swept across his face, his brows furrowed, his expression solemn, as he took out the Gift Crystal from his pocket.

“Father, I don’t know if this is the right thing to do, but I can’t just stand by and watch the Moria family’s hopes be buried in the cracks.”

Samuel LeFeu Moria tossed the crystal high into the air.

The blessed crystal emitted seven streams of light, like a rainbow refracted by a prism.

When the light regrouped, the space at the entrance of the crack began to distort, dark purple mist seeped out of the dark crack, and the faint whimpering of a deep-sea monster could be heard.

At the same time, the crystals within the crack also burst forth with dazzling brilliance, the seven-colored rainbow light seemingly tearing through space and forcibly breaking open the crack's door.

And so, a road was opened that led directly from the rift to the North.

Li En led a team of over a hundred people and left the rift.

The cracked gate did not close again until they left.

Wizard Kerser returned the Gift Crystal to Li En, and the crystal was now a whole size smaller than before.

This means that each time the crack is opened, a certain amount of crystal is consumed.

"Uncle Samuel."

When Isaac and the others saw Samuel LeFou Moria, their faces lit up with the joy of surviving a close call.

Samuel LeFeu Moriah looked at them. "Are you the only ones alive?"

Brown and the others lowered their heads in shame. In fact, without Li En, it was uncertain whether they would have survived.

They were elite offspring trained in the harsh environment of the North for a long time. If they were offspring of other creed families or high nobles, the mortality rate might have been twice as high.

Samuel LeFeu Moriah took a deep breath. "It's good that I'm back alive."

Isaac and his brothers nodded.

Despite only meeting him once, Samuel Love Moria recognized Rean's leadership position among the group.

Even though he didn't say anything, the fact that no one walked in front of him is the best proof of that.

"You are the Chosen One, Rean Moriah?"

"Samuel LeFou Moriah asked."

“Uncle Samuel, I am Jack Moria’s son, and theoretically I am a member of the Moria family. You can call me Lee En.”

Li En said.

"I never imagined that the new heir would be a descendant of Jack."

Samuel LeFeu Moriah recalled what Jack Moriah looked like when he was young and felt that Lee En was indeed very similar to him.

Upon hearing Samuel Love Moria's words, Field, Isaac, Brown, Anton, Hamilton, and Montoya remained silent, but Raven was clearly displeased.

“Uncle, Li En is not the heir. We have ended this competition. We want to come out and save the North and our people.”

"Raven said."

"Nonsense!"

Samuel LeFeu Moriah rebuked, "Do you know what the heir means to the North? How can you unilaterally end the competition?"

"The competition is over, are you going to send us back again?"

Raven took out his Blessed Crystal as he spoke, "Now I know the function of the crystal, Uncle, don't worry. Once the crisis in the North is over, I will send people in to explore the crystal for the family and open a safe passage to the Old World for the people of the North."

Samuel LeFeu Moria frowned. "Young man, you are too arrogant. Sooner or later you will suffer because of it."

“This is not arrogance, it is the confidence that flows in Moria’s blood.”

"Raven said."

"Uncle, could you tell us what's been happening in the North lately?"

Kaylan asked, wanting to know if the disaster had occurred.

"If you're asking about the Northern Wall, Lord Tarica is guarding it, and everything is normal. If you're asking about the capital and Frostlands, I don't know anything about the situation there."
