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

Chapter 18: Above the High Wall (Please Read~)

The faint light of morning light sprinkled on the Green Shade Territory, awakening the city.

As a lord, Li En inspected his territory for the first time.

Accompanied by Interior Minister Karel Dennis, he boarded a luxurious eight-horse carriage and appeared on the main street of the Green Shade Territory with Sophie, accompanied by his personal maids, Anna and Anne.

Evergreen trees are planted on both sides of the main city streets. They are the iconic trees of Green Shade Territory. They are green all year round and represent vitality and hope.

A flag-carrying honor guard led the way, and a team of guards surrounded the carriage.

The gorgeously dressed citizens crowded both sides of the street, cheering enthusiastically.

After learning that Sophie did not get the [On the Verge of Losing Control] entry, they were sincerely happy.

The colorful spires of buildings were lined up on both sides. As the carriage moved, they gradually turned into colorful silhouettes and disappeared from sight like smoke, replaced by new buildings and unfamiliar faces.

"Lord Li En, you should wave to your subjects so that they can feel your friendliness."

suggested Interior Minister Karel Dennis, who was heavily made up and dressed in fancy clothes.

"of course."

Li En raised his hand and waved stiffly, and was immediately greeted with even louder cheers.

It was Li En's first time being a lord, so he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

But his hands became smoother and smoother as he waved them, and he felt that he was doing it again.

His one-star knight status allowed him to wave his hands for half an hour without feeling tired.

Of course, he would never do that, it would be too stupid.

Just interact occasionally to avoid making the situation too awkward.

Amid cheers and shouts, the luxurious carriage carrying the new lord of Green Shade Territory and the guardian witch passed through the inner city wall and came from the inner city to the outer city.

Karel Dennis said,
"The inner city is home to the nobles, and the outer city is home to the common people. The inner wall is 15 meters high and 3 meters thick. If the outer city falls, the inner wall will be the last refuge."

Compared to the inner city, the buildings in the outer city are much simpler in color, mainly black, blue, and gray. The people in the city are also dressed more simply, mostly in linen.

Women who love beauty are adorned with flowers instead of jewelry.

But their enthusiasm was even higher than that of the nobles in the inner city.

"My Lord! My Lord!"

"It's the Ice Witch! The Ice Witch is coming!"

"My Lady Ice Witch, can you still protect us?"

The innocent children rushed over together, but were stopped in front of the carriage by the guards.

At Li En's signal, the guards withdrew the weapons that were blocking the children.

Sophie looked at them and nodded slightly.

The little girl excitedly gave the wild flowers in her hand to Sophie.

"Lady Ice Witch, please continue to protect us."

Sophie took the wild flowers and nodded again.

The carriage continued to move forward. Li En saw Sophie carefully put the wild flowers into her pocket and said with a smile,

"You'll ruin it if you do that."

Sophie followed suit, took the wild flowers out of her pocket and handed them to Li En.

Li En made a wreath of wild flowers and put it on Sophie's head.

“That way its value can be reflected.”

Sophie touched the wreath on her head and liked it a little.

But she still showed no expression.

Karel Dennis coughed twice, feeling that if he didn't make some noise, he would be ignored.

Anna and Anne looked at Karel Dennis at the same time, their eyes looking as if they were stabbing someone.

The corners of Karel Dennis' mouth twitched slightly, and he snorted arrogantly.

She's just a maid. Would I, the Home Minister, be afraid of her?

Li En turned around, looked at Karel Dennis, and spread his hands.
"I'm sorry, Karel Dennis, I don't have enough materials to make you another wreath."

"I prefer lilies, roses, and tulips to these wildflowers."

Karel Dennis said proudly. The survivors of the caravan from Blueberry Town were also among the crowd. They looked at Li En in the carriage in surprise.

Unexpectedly, he is not only the illegitimate son of Lord Moria, but also directly inherited the position of Lord Moria.

Their faces were filled with disbelief, and they sincerely regretted their attitude towards the Ice Witch.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have gone into the inner city with him and become his friend."

"Alas, I missed an opportunity to soar to the sky."

"We've even pretended to be Lord Moria's illegitimate children before. He won't hold a grudge, will he?"

As they sighed, they looked at Li En in the luxurious carriage with envy. Not only was he accompanied by the beautiful Ice Witch, but he also had two beautiful maids, twin maids at that!
It was obvious that when he was in Blueberry Territory, he was still an inconspicuous blacksmith apprentice, humbly begging the caravan captain to take him with them.

But now the situation is completely different!

"Crossing this main street, we will reach the High Wall. Before you arrived, the Ice Witch lived in the tower of the High Wall."

Karel Dennis raised a finger and said meaningfully.

Li En's mouth twitched slightly. Yes, Miss Witch is living in my room now, so what?
"That's the statue of Lord Moria. It's been there for 30 years. If you don't like it, we can tear it down and build a new one in your place. It can even be 5 meters taller."

Karel Dennis was like a dedicated tour guide, introducing the various buildings in Green Shade Territory to Li En.

"That's the Holy Cathedral. You've been in Greenshade Territory for so long, but you haven't seen the bishop yet. I'll arrange it when you have time."

"That's a street of pastry shops over there. You don't want to know, it's full of dirty men and women."

With Karel Dennis's narration, Li En finally arrived at the high wall.

Along the way, Anna and Anne remained quiet and just did what maids were supposed to do.

For example, helping Li En wipe the sweat off his face, accepting flowers from his subjects, or asking him if he needed water.

Although Anna is very knowledgeable, she would not steal the limelight from Karel Dennis at this time.

The height of the high wall is twice that of the inner wall, which is 30 meters high, making Li En inexplicably think of Attack on Titan.

The high black wall seems to have no end at a glance, and there are magical defense formations on the wall, which is very spectacular.

Li En, Sophie and Karel Dennis took the pulley ladder and successfully climbed up the high wall.

Looking at the slowly rising pulley ladder, Li En began to think about how to generate electricity. Only by using elevators can 30-story buildings be popularized, and the highest level of walk-up apartments can only be built to the 8th floor.

Obviously, in this world of magic and swords, no one has yet developed electricity, otherwise the lord's mansion would not have been using kerosene lamps all the time.

There are a total of 4 watchtowers on the high wall, which can clearly see the movements in the four directions of east, west, south and north.

Usually, Sophie rests and patrols in these watchtowers.

Of course, her favorite thing was not to stay in the tower, but to wander aimlessly on the high walls.

So after walking up the high wall, her mental state relaxed a lot, as if she had returned to her home, and there was a little more tenderness in her eyes.

Although the wall was 3 meters thick, Li En's legs were still a little weak. Anna, who noticed this, immediately stepped forward and supported Li En calmly.

From the high wall, you can overlook the panoramic view of Greenshade Territory, and you can also see the nearby villages and the Bone Forest.

But Li En, with weak legs, was in no mood to appreciate such a beautiful view. He looked at Karel Dennis seriously.

"Why aren't there guardrails on the high walls? How dangerous would it be if a patrolling guard fell down?"

"My dear Lord, the high wall has no guardrails from the beginning."

Karel Dennis said.

"Safety first, guardrails must be installed."

"Okay, Master Li En."

The guards on the high wall saluted Li En and took a liking to the young lord.

Because he was the first one to worry about the guard falling.

"However, installing guardrails is a huge expense and we probably won't be able to come up with the money right now."

Karel Dennis reminded.

Li En turned around, looked at his face which was painted too white, and asked,
"When does the dance start tonight?"

"8 point."

"Okay, inform the nobles that the ball has been moved to a higher location on the wall. I'll be waiting for them here."
