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

Chapter 10 Gift: Eyes of the Future

"The Green Shade Territory's Gift is a Level 6 item called the Eye of the Future. I only know that it looks like a crystal ball and should have the ability to foresee the future. I don't know much else about it."

Sophie had never seen Moria use the Eye of the Future, so the information she knew was very limited.

Predicting the future? That's a good thing indeed.

But given old Moria's character, he probably took such a good thing away along with the jewels in the treasure house.

Although it is a pity that I couldn’t see the crystal ball that can foresee the future, this may be a good thing for me.

Without sufficient strength, possessing treasures too early will only be a burden.

The Green Shade Territory already has a lot of affairs to deal with right now. If someone else covets the Eye of the Future and causes a dispute, wouldn’t that be adding insult to injury?

However, before his "friend" from the Imperial Bank came back, Li En decided to solve the hidden dangers around him first, so as to avoid being stabbed in the back while he was concentrating on the economic development of Green Shade Territory.

From what Sophie said, there are only 10 God's Gifts even in the Holy Empire, which are extremely rare. So, is the purpose of the two maids hiding by her side for the "Eye of the Future"?
Thinking of this, Li En climbed out of bed, wrapped himself in a thick blanket, and walked out of the bedroom with the witch Sophie.

"Anna, Annie, accompany me to the treasure house."

The twin maids Anna and Anne, who had been guarding the bedroom door, looked at each other and followed.

They have already confirmed the unusual relationship between the new lord Li En and the witch lady Sophie, otherwise how could the witch lady come out of Li En's bedroom?

"Master Li En, are you not drunk?"

Anna asked with concern.

"Lord Li En, you deceived the nobles."

Anne added.

"That little bit of wine isn't enough to make me drunk. Have the nobles left?"

"Still gathering in the banquet hall."

Anna said.

A group of four came to the treasure house on the third floor. Li En took out the key and opened the door of the treasure house.

At this time, the treasure house was empty.

Not to mention any gifts, not even a gold coin was left for Li En.

Li En gave Sophie a look, and Sophie tacitly closed the door of the treasure house.

Then, Li En wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, and the temperature in the room began to drop.

A six-petal ice crystal appeared in the air.

As Anna and Annie just saw the snowflake, four frost chains extending from the ground had already bound their hands and feet.

"Lord Li En?"

They raised their heads in horror and looked at Li En, their eyes full of confusion.

"What are you doing?"

Anna and Annie never expected that Li En would suddenly attack them.

"Anna, Annie, I'm very disappointed in you. You stole all the treasures in the treasury, including the gifts from God."

When Anne and Anna heard that the gift had also been stolen, they were surprised, but they soon reacted.

"Lord Li En, we didn't take anything."

Anna said.

"If we really stole the gifts and jewels, why did we continue to stay in the lord's mansion? Where did we hide the gifts and jewels we stole?"

Anne added.

Li En tapped his finger lightly on his tall nose bridge and said in an analytical tone,

"The things you stole have been taken away by Dennis. In fact, you and Dennis are accomplices and spies!

Forget about your purpose of staying in the lord's mansion. It doesn't matter. I will just kill you and announce to the public that you committed suicide out of fear of punishment after being discovered by me.

Then, we can issue a reward order and have Denis wanted nationwide."

Li En knew that these were emptied by Moriah Laodeng, but he insisted on saying so.

No matter how Anna and Anne explained, he wouldn't accept it.

He was determined to make the two maids take the blame. "Master Li En, you won't believe us no matter what, right?"

Anna asked.

"Aren't you a spy? The reason you came to me was to get the gift, right? Do you really think my father left without telling me anything?"

"Did Lord Moria say that?"

Anna looked at Li En in surprise.

"Sophie, kill them."

Li En said lightly.

Sophie nodded slightly.

Two ice spikes condensed in the air and pierced Anna and Annie.

At this moment, Anne, the assassin, broke free from the frost shackles, and her figure was like a ghost. She quickly came to Anna's side, swung her dagger to cut off the restraints on her sister, picked up Anna, dodged the attacks of two ice spikes, and dodged to the window.

She was so fast that only afterimages could be seen with the naked eye.

Just as Anne was about to take Anna out the window and escape, Li En's voice rang out again.

"Escape and become the Empire's wanted criminals. You will be charged with stealing the gift. No matter where you go, you will never have a safe place."

Anne paused.

Li En was right. If they were accused of stealing gifts, they would still be suspected even if they escaped back to their original owners, because no one would not be tempted by gifts.

Gifts symbolize power, status and strength.

The Green Shade Territory was established by Moria with the help of the Sequence 6 Eye of the Future.

Therefore, if they left the manor, Anna and Anne would be doomed to become fugitives and abandoned by the whole world.

"Master Li En, what do you want to do?"

Anna asked.

"I just let you know your ending in advance."

Li En said calmly,

"Do you really think you'll have a happy ending after completing your mission? No matter who gets the gift, the fate of spies and assassins will be nothing more than discarded pawns. Your fate will either be obliterated or you'll be exiled and carried in disgrace."

With the blessing of the [Lord] entry, Li En's words became 10% more persuasive.

So Anna and Anne both took this to heart.

Anne put her sister Anna down. The two sisters looked at each other and nodded as if they had made up their minds.

Annie's figure moved quickly and appeared beside Li En, with a short blade shining with silver-white light in her hand.

As long as they kill Li En, even if they are wanted, they will not be charged with stealing the gift. Although this also means the failure of the mission, at least they will not be so passive.

Unfortunately, Anne's hand was once again caught by the frost chain, and her entire right arm was frozen into ice, and the frost was still spreading throughout her body.

"Stop, we lose."

Anna said.

She knew that although Annie was fast, she could not defeat the Ice Witch.

But she also understood her sister Anne's rebellious character, and she would not easily believe anything unless she was allowed to try it.

Anne glanced at Sophie unwillingly.
"Ice Witch, you're using your magic so frequently. Aren't you worried about losing control?"

"For Master Li En, this is all worth it."

Sophie said with a cold expression.

Li En touched his neck which was almost wiped off, swallowed his saliva, and said,
"Forget it, let them go, Sophie. I look forward to seeing them hunted down by the whole world."

Sophie nodded slightly, and the frost that bound Anne disappeared.

Anne felt that her right hand had regained consciousness and movement, but she also gave up the idea of ​​assassinating Li En again.

Anna and Annie knelt down in front of Li En at the same time. Anna, who was wise and calm, asked,
"Lord Li En, what do you want from us?"
