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

Chapter 174: Fia's Legal Assistance

At the first light of dawn, the morning sun shines through the mist and shines on the surface of the Saunders River, turning the river into a brilliant golden color.

The church bells echoed in the morning air, awakening the Holy Empire's capital, Arlong City.

The wheels of the magic carriage creaked as they rolled over the cobblestone road. Amid the aroma of bread and milk, Li En was awakened by the beautiful maid Anne.

"Lord Li En, we have arrived at Yalong City."

Li En rubbed his sleepy eyes and woke up. What caught his eyes were the familiar words to Anne and the darkness rendered by the sunlight.

Although he became blind, Li En could still clearly feel the changes between day and night.

Because he hasn't sucked blood for a while, he has been a little sleepy recently.

Even though Annie didn't mind him sucking her blood, Li En considered that the four high priests escorting him would also attend the Supreme Court, and was worried that the secret of his vampire-like physique would be discovered. Therefore, he had not really eaten for three days and was always surrounded by feelings of fatigue and hunger.

While the Six-Star Blood Knight significantly improved his physique, the side effects were also noticeable. Delicious food was right beside him, constantly tempting him. This three-day journey was undoubtedly a test of his perseverance.

Li En decided to accumulate points as quickly as possible to overcome the awkward period of the six-star Blood Knight and upgrade to a seven-star Order Knight.

He doesn't want to be a real vampire.

However, it takes so many points to upgrade a six-star knight. It is conceivable that the number of points required to upgrade a seven-star order knight is definitely an astronomical figure.

Annie pulled open the curtains in the carriage and pushed open the glass windows to let in the warm sunlight.

Feeling the not-so-hot temperature in the early morning, Li En stretched comfortably.

"Lord Li En, you seem to be in a good mood."

Anne helped Li En change out of his pajamas and put on a proper shirt and tuxedo, then washed and combed his hair, transforming him from a lazy and melancholy handsome man into a refined aristocratic gentleman.

"Yes, we are finally in Yalong City. This is my first time in the imperial capital."

Lee En said with a smile, letting Annie play with his hair.

Even without a mirror, Li En could guess that the hairstyle Annie had combed for him today was undoubtedly a slicked back hair.

Perhaps only his youthful face and slicked-back hair can make him look less greasy.

"Isn't the current Lord Li En the same wherever he goes?"

"Of course it's different. At least when I get to Yalong City, I won't have four high priests guarding me at all times."

Li En also missed the taste of freedom.

During his days in the carriage, he basically maintained a life of abstinence, resisting both the Blood Knight's constant yearning for blood and the increased desire brought about by the boiling blood.

He couldn't help but start to miss his first mistress Nancy Stuart, who had the same physique as a succubus and could always satisfy him in the first time.

"It seems that Lord Li En wants to do something obscene that is inconvenient for people to watch."

Anne concluded.

"Yes, Annie, this is a gift from the Goblin Princess. She always makes my blood boil. I wish there was a way to relieve this feeling, because it means I need a partner by my side at all times, otherwise I will have to become a craftsman."

Li En said helplessly.

"Then don't waste it. You can save the craftsman's finished product for Inna. She is still growing and needs these nutritious things."

Anne seemed to be discussing academic issues with Li En, without any shyness or evasion, which aroused Li En's interest.

"Inna is still young, it's best for her to drink only real milk."

Li En raised his eyebrows and said in a teasing tone,
"But if you want to try it, it's fine."

"I really envy your mentality. You're about to be sent to the Supreme Court that everyone fears, and yet you still have the mood to flirt with a maid."

Elizabeth's voice sounded outside the carriage door. She came to remind Li En that it was time to get off the train.

"Priest Elizabeth, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a ladylike act."

Li En said softly.

Anne opened the carriage door for him.

Elizabeth smiled and said,
"I'm not a lady. I'm a priest. A priest's hearing is so acute that I hear many voices I don't want to hear every day. This is my distress. If you really want to raise my moral standards, you should talk about something noble, like discussing the new laws added to the Holy Scripture."

"I'm sorry, that might be my blind spot. Besides, I'm blind now, so there's no way I could know the new laws added to the canon."

Li En said.

"If you have any knowledge about this, you can ask me."

High Priest Fia pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, closed the heavy tome in his arms, walked to Elizabeth, and said softly,
"Silver believer tainted with heresy, cherish your last happy moments. Before the trial begins, you will have three days of vacation. During this time, you will rest in the Kadenburg Castle, which belongs to the Holy See, and request a priest to accompany you."

"Then I must choose High Priest Fia. I really need to brush up on some knowledge. If no one is willing to defend me, I can at least prove my innocence."

Li En looked at High Priest Fia with a smile. Even though he had lost his sight, he could still feel that she was an intellectual older sister.

And her entry had betrayed her.

[High Priest] [Silver Follower] [Gifted] [Intelligent] [Learned] [Teacher] [Lack of Emotion] [Lack of Right and Wrong] [Beautiful] [Demon Breeder] [Vampire Lover]

Among them, [Indifferent Sense of Right and Wrong], [Demon Breeder] and [Vampire Lover] successfully impressed Li En, who believed that she was the most suitable candidate for cooperation.

Not only did Fia raise a demon, she was also cursed by a vampire lover. These two items were red items and could be used as bargaining chips within the scope of what Li En could clear.

"How heartless! I was the one chatting with you the whole way, but you chose Fia."

Elizabeth said rather sourly.

She was actually very interested in Li En, but not to the point of pestering him. She believed that no matter how interesting Li En was, he would soon disappear from this world and was a ship destined to sink.

Who allowed him to be contaminated with the aura of the evil god?
"My apologies, High Priest Elizabeth. If I could choose two women at the same time, I would choose you two without hesitation. I look forward to our journey together."

Li En said with a smile.

Elizabeth did not feel offended by this. Instead, High Priest Arthur looked at Elizabeth and Fia with displeasure and said arrogantly,
"If I were you, I would try to stay away from this heretic instead of flirting with him without any respect."

"High Priest Arthur, perhaps you have been single for too long and don't know what true flirting is."

Elizabeth said jokingly.

High Priest Arthur frowned. "I don't need a partner. I have dedicated my life to the great God."

"The Tiger God doesn't like gay men."

Annie said lightly.

High Priest Arthur's cheeks flushed instantly. He is not gay!

This damn slave had angered him for the second time.

But he could do nothing about her because behind her was a silver follower, Lien Moria, who was contaminated by the evil god.

High Priest Arthur secretly swore that after Lien Moriah was tried, he would find an opportunity to kill this slave to let her know that she should not easily offend a respected high priest.

Elizabeth couldn't help laughing. She admired Anne's courage. No one had ever dared to say that to Arthur.

But Arthur seemed to really dislike women. Of course, he didn't like men either. In this world, whether it was the Pope, bishop, archbishop, high priest, priest, priest, or pastor, everyone could get married, except for nuns who dedicated everything to God.

Therefore, beautiful and young priestesses like Elizabeth and Fia have many suitors, most of whom are also clergymen.

A male priest like Arthur, who is now in his forties and has neither a wife nor a lover, is considered an outlier among priests. Coupled with his arrogant personality, it is hard not to make that kind of association.

"You shouldn't provoke a priest."

Arthur glared at Anne.

Annie simply ignored him and stood on tiptoe to straighten Li En's collar.

Li En knew that Anne hated High Priest Arthur so much because of Arthur's sarcasm towards him along the way, so he indulged Anne and let her say whatever she wanted.

In short, High Priest Arthur is not the goal he needs to strive for.

The magic carriage finally stopped at Castle Kaden.

This is a manor located in the suburbs of Yalong City. Its scale is comparable to Li En's Blueberry Manor in Yusofa, but it belongs to the assets of the Holy See. It is an empty house that has been idle for a long time and is completely incomparable to the bustling Blueberry Manor.

Only Li En, Annie and Feiya got off the carriage.

"Fia, I wish you a peaceful three days."

Elizabeth blessed.

"Fia, don't be bewitched by heresy."

Arthur warned.

"Fia, see you in three days."

Old Carl said.

The three high priests said goodbye to Fia, who just nodded slightly and hugged the book in her hands tightly.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will read quietly in Castle Kaden for three days.

"This place looks like a haunted house that's been abandoned for 200 years. The exterior walls are covered with green vines and branches, and the house is full of dust and cobwebs..."

Anne described what she saw and explained to Li En the true appearance of Castle Kadenburg.

Li En also smelled the smell of decay. The house had been built for some time, and there were many cracks on the floor. The carpet was also covered with dust.

"High Priest Fia, if I had known this place was so shabby, I shouldn't have invited you to live with me."

"It's okay. I think it's nice here. It's quiet."

Fia didn't think there was anything wrong with this place. The furniture and equipment were all complete, and she would be able to live comfortably after just a little cleaning.

Li En's room was at the end of the second floor of the castle, and even the bed needed to be replaced by Anne.

Fia did not choose the room next to Li En, but the first room on the second floor, which was far enough away from Li En.

Because Li En was blind, he did not participate in the cleaning of the castle. Fia and Annie took charge of it all.

Fia did not stand by and watch just because she was a priest. Instead, she cleaned up most of the places. This was enough to show that she had good character. Compared with the arrogant High Priest Arthur, she was simply an angel on earth.

This made Annie look at Fia with admiration.

"I finally understand why Lord Li En chose you."

"why?"

Fia pushed up the frame of her glasses.

"Because you are a clean lady."

Anne said.

"I thought it was His Excellency Lee En Moriah who wanted to learn the relevant legal provisions from me."

Fia pushed the frame of her glasses again.

After cleaning the entire castle, the three of them sat together in the empty restaurant to have dinner.

Dinner was lamb stew with potatoes and pan-fried lamb chops made by Anne.

Li En finally had the opportunity to ask Feia some professional questions.

"Ms. Fia, my friend has a succubus. According to the laws of the Holy Empire, my friend will be sentenced to 30 years of restraint. How can I escape this fate?"

Feiya's hand holding the knife and fork paused slightly, raised her eyes and looked at Li En.
"Sir Li En Moriah, if you haven't been contaminated by the evil god, this problem is easy to solve. You just need to prove that this succubus has been raised by you since childhood and is harmless to the public."

Feiya explained patiently,

"That is, you need to have your succubus take a certification exam. The Vatican has a Department of Demons that specializes in testing and grading demons and issuing certificates. With a certificate, you can keep them like a regular pet. Oh, and they also need to sign a treaty not to harm the public. Violations of the treaty will also result in sanctions."

"Is it too late to take the exam for this certificate now?"

"You can pass the test in one day. It's mainly a measure of your moral standards. If your succubus has never harmed humans, you basically don't need to worry about failing the test."

Fia said, "Your trial is in three days. Theoretically, you should be in time. It all depends on how you contact your succubus."

"Don't worry about that."

Li En had been unable to get in touch with Inna before. Firstly, Inna was too weak to enter her own dream. Secondly, there were four high priests in the magic carriage. Anyone whose dream was invaded would be noticed by the high priests, except Soraya, who already had the status of an angel.

Now Li En only has a high priest by his side, so he can pass the message to Inna through Soraya and let Inna take the exam.

Inna's character during the day is weak and kind, and the probability of passing the exam is as high as 90%.

Fia looked at Li En deeply, not understanding why he was still worried about raising demons. This was the lightest of all his crimes.

"High Priest Feia, don't look at me like that. It's like you're looking at someone who's about to step into a grave."

Li En said with a smile.

"Can you see?"

Fia asked in surprise.

Li En shook his head. "No, I can sense that your sudden silence must be due to you wondering why I should be worried about raising alien demons instead of worrying about being contaminated by the evil god."

"Yes, can you answer my question?"

Fia put down her spoon, not because Anne's lamb and potato stew was not delicious, but because her curiosity overcame her appetite.

"I can only tell you that the great God Tiger will not easily give up a silver believer who has the greatest potential to become the Son of Gold."

Li En said confidently.

Annie cut a piece of lamb chop and put it into Li En's mouth.

Li En chewed it twice. It tasted bland and it was a pity to throw it away. But it didn't matter. Tonight, he could finally let go of his nature.
