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

Chapter 9 God's Gift

Da da da--

The steed pulled the luxurious carriage at a rapid speed along the mountain road, gradually moving away from the Green Shade Territory.

The six-star Glory Knight Rand John rode a tall horse in armor and guarded the front of the carriage, his brows furrowed, looking around vigilantly.

Moriah opened the curtains and looked at Rand John with a smile.

"Don't be like this, old friend. Don't be nervous. I have a feeling that today is not the day I die."

"Lord Moria, why don't you tell Lord Li En the truth? If you leave without saying a word, he will think you are deserting the battlefield and leaving him with such a mess."

said the upright Rand John.

"I did leave him a mess, haha."

Moria laughed. He looked energetic and showed no sign of being seriously ill.

Apparently the wheelchair and IV drip were just acting.

"The reason you owe the bank such a huge debt is not because of your desire for pleasure, but to avoid dragging Green Shade into the war and attacking the Azure Dragon Court. Even if His Majesty the King wanted Green Shade to send troops, he would not do so because of Green Shade's lack of funds."

Rand John said seriously.

"No, I just wanted to have fun. I used the 3 million gold to squander it every day and buy manors and properties for my mistresses."

Moria said with a smile.

"You left quietly to go to the tower to find a new guardian who could replace the Ice Witch Sophie. You narrowly escaped death this time, so you didn't want to tell Lord Li En, because you didn't want him to worry about you."

Rand John continued seriously.

"No, I also took all my wives, concubines, and jewelry. I escaped from Green Shade Territory because the witch was out of control. I will die in Green Shade Territory as well."

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

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

"Lord Moria, I am the only one who knows that you have sacrificed so much for Green Shade Territory. Please do not dwell on the past; we should embrace the future. Gifts are not meant to be commemorated."

Rand John seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing and stopped talking.

The smile on Moriah's face gradually disappeared, and a strange light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"This is a gift, but also a curse. I used it to create the Green Shade Territory of today, but I lost my loved ones time and time again. Before heading to the tower, please allow me to go to Blueberry Town to pick up Daisy. She is a kind girl."

"Did you see anything?"

Rand John asked again.

"Yes, I saw Li En, my son, leading the Green Shade Territory towards the light."

In the crystal ball, noble ladies were sitting on their knees, and children were surrounding them, with innocent smiles on their faces.

They are all Moriah's children.

"What's the price this time?"

"The price... is that I lost Li En forever."

Rand John felt that he could no longer understand what Lord Moria said. The two seemed to be on two different channels, but this did not affect their communication.

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

At this time, Li En, the man who Moria said would lead the Green Shade Territory into the light, was attending a dinner for the nobles.

The theme of the dinner was to welcome Li En, the new city lord.

After learning about Li En's heroic feat of driving away the Imperial Bank's debt collection army with just a few words, the nobles of Green Shade Territory all took a new look at the new lord and attended the banquet one after another.

Of course, their purpose was not simply to congratulate Li En on becoming the new lord.

After three rounds of drinks, Romyada, the organizer of the banquet and the richest man in Green Shade Territory, besides the lord, asked Li En tentatively under the expectant gaze of everyone,

"Master Li En, is it true that the Ice Witch didn't obtain the [On the Verge of Losing Control] entry?"

"Yes, Miss Sophie has not received the [On the Verge of Losing Control] entry. Everyone can stay in Green Shade Territory with peace of mind."

Li En said with a smile, his cheeks flushed, which is the sign of most people getting drunk. "Why did Lord Moria leave?"

Romyada asked again.

"Father missed my mother, Daisy, so he went to Blueberry Town to visit her grave. He didn't abandon us."

Li En said.

"I heard that Lord Moria emptied the treasury?"

Romyada continued to ask.

"Father, you must have taken some valuables with you when you traveled, right? As for the treasury being emptied, that's pure rumor."

"I heard that Lord Moria also took away the Knight Legion?"

"Those are the knights guarding my father. There are only 1000 of them. The real army is stationed in Green Shade Territory."

"I heard that Lord Moria also took his wives and concubines away?"

"Father, you can't go on this journey alone, right? It would be so boring if there's no one to chat with along the way."

"I heard that Lord Moria also took the butler, Mr. Denis, away."

"Dennis was a spy and escaped after his crime was exposed."

"I heard that Lord Moriah offended His Majesty the King."

"That's a rumor, please don't believe it."

Li En answered their questions one by one. Although he had cursed Moria, the old golden-haired guy, countless times in his heart, Li En still had to maintain his image in front of outsiders. This was entirely to stabilize the group of old men at the banquet.

If they knew that Moria had escaped, this group of people might have to escape with him.

Who will I sell my land to then? Who will build houses and develop real estate? Who will boost the economy?
"Is God's gift still there?"

Finally, the richest man Romyada narrowed his eyes slightly, like an old fox, and asked in a low voice in Li En's ear.

Li En was slightly stunned.

What is God's gift?

Originally, Li En was just an apprentice blacksmith and had never heard of what a gift was, which led to the current Li En not knowing anything about it.

So, Li En decided to play dumb.

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

It was like he had really drunk too much and was unconscious.

The maids Anna and Anne could only help him up, say goodbye to the many guests, and send him back to the bedroom.

What kind of gift? Does Green Shade Territory have gifts?
Li En decided to ask the Ice Witch Sophie.

Anna and Annie are definitely unreliable. All the nobles know about Lord Moria's escape. Maybe it was Anna who spread it with the [Spy] tag on her head.

Li En returned to the bedroom and felt Anna changing his clothes.

He let the beautiful maid help him take off his gorgeous coat and lining, change into silk pajamas, and put him on the bed.

Only when he felt Anna and Annie leave the room and heard the door close did he slowly open his eyes.

Sophie drew aside the curtains and stepped out from the shadows.

Yes, he did hide Miss Witch in his bedroom.

The main focus is a sense of security.

Li En didn't want to be slit in the throat by an assassin while he was sleeping.

"Sophie, what is God's gift?"

Sophie's silver eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said in a ethereal voice,
"That is a gift from the True God Tiger to this world. Each one possesses extraordinary power. The Empire has a total of ten of these, known as Imperial Heavy Weapons. They are ranked from Sequence 10 to Sequence 1 based on the time of their discovery. Only kings and lords are qualified to wield them."

"What is the gift from Green Shade Territory?"
