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

Chapter 19: The Lord Likes to Play Exciting Games (3k reading request~)

The outer city of Green Shade Territory hasn't been this lively for a long time.

One after another, luxurious carriages passed through the inner wall, came to the outer city where civilians lived, and finally gathered under the high wall.

The nobles who were drinking and partying with Li En in the lord's mansion yesterday were now staying in the luxurious carriage and did not want to come out.

Hearing that the ball was moved to the High Wall, only one-third of the nobles and wealthy people showed up, but this was in line with Li En's expectations.

Through the car windows, they whispered and exchanged opinions with old acquaintances wearing masks.

"Are you sure the dance is going to be held on the high wall? Are you sure?"

"I've never heard of a dance being held high up on a wall. Do you really want to attend?"

"Now that we're here, are we going back?"

"I think this is very unique, novel, and exciting. As expected of young Master Li En, his ideas are original."

"Then you should get off the car."

"I'm not going down, you go down."

The nobles looked at each other and refused to come out of the carriage.

A breeze blew over the high wall, and a stone fell from the 30-meter-high wall, smashing through the luxurious carriage of Romualda, the richest man in Green Shade Territory.

Fortunately, Romyada was not hit on the head, but was just frightened.

He got down from the carriage in horror, understanding that this was a warning.

Seeing that the richest man, Romualda, had gotten out of the car, other nobles and wealthy people also got out, looking up fearfully at the people on the high wall.

A six-petal ice crystal floated down.

A broad bridge of ice stretched out beneath their feet.

This ice bridge leads directly to the high wall, sparkling in the sun and attracting countless eyes.

The nobles showed expressions of surprise, especially the ladies wearing gorgeous dresses.

They had no resistance to this fairy-tale scene and walked onto the ice bridge with the help of their servants.

Seeing that the women had all stepped onto the ice bridge, the gentlemen were unwilling to fall behind and had no choice but to follow.

"As expected of Lord Li En, he actually asked the Ice Witch to build an ice bridge."

"I've never been on the wall before."

"Yeah, this dance is really special."

They stood on the ice bridge, looking at the curious civilians below, and couldn't help but reveal a proud expression.

It is believed that this is also a reflection of status. Only the rich and noble can step onto the ice bridge and party with the lord on the high wall.

Until they walked up the wall.

This group of wealthy people who lived a life of luxury felt their legs go weak instantly when they stood on a wall that was 30 meters high for the first time.

Without the support of the servants, they would not be able to stand steadily.

"It's just too high up here, it's scary."

"Why is this high wall so narrow? I want to go down."

The ladies were horrified. If they had not been wearing delicate masks, they would have given people an indecent impression because of their poor expression control.

Although the width of the high wall is 3 meters, the ladies wear crinoline skirts with crinoline skirts that are 4 to 5 meters long, so one woman has to occupy the space of four or five men.

They stood on the high wall, just like rootless flowers growing on the wall, and they might fall down if a gust of wind blew.

The ice bridge just now also disappeared, as if it had never appeared. This is the charm of magic. Even if it is disposable, it is very environmentally friendly.

"Lord Li En, didn't we agree that the ball would be held at the lord's mansion? Why was it moved to the high wall?"

Romyada, the old gentleman with thinning hair, was tightly pulled by his young mistress and made a dissatisfied sound.

"Everyone, don't you think it would be more fun to hold a ball on top of a high wall? From here, we can not only see the entire Green Shade Territory, but also the vast world outside the high walls. Only by holding a ball here can we highlight our noble status, right?"

Li En said with a smile. He sat on the red leather sofa with the twin maids and Sophie standing on his left and right. He was not worried about falling at all, so he was calm.

Fortunately, the maids Anne, Anna and Sophie were not in the habit of wearing crinoline skirts, otherwise the 3-meter width would be a bit narrow.

The people around looked at Li En's calm appearance, and while they admired his courage, they also had the illusion that "this place is not very dangerous."

They echoed Li En and tried to get as close to the center of the wall as possible. As long as they were not standing on the edge, they would not be so scared.

Unfortunately, the more fearful people are, the more they like to crowd together, and the more they crowd together, the more fearful they become.

"My Lord... Although the scenery here is beautiful, isn't it too dangerous?"

Baron Carlson said nervously.

"Oh? Is there any danger?"

Lee En asked.

"It's too high here, and there's no guardrail. Our legs are already weak just by standing here, so how can we dance?"

Romyada said. Li En nodded. "That's right. How can there be no guardrails here? Karel Dennis, why didn't you build guardrails for the high wall?"

Karel Dennis stood up and said seriously, "My Lord, we have already spent a lot of money on building the wall, and we don't have any extra funds to build a guardrail."

"I see."

Li En showed a regretful expression. "Since there's no budget, let's forget about repairing the guardrail. Don't worry, everyone. There are guards nearby who won't let you fall. Dance to your heart's content."

As soon as the words fell, a lady in a beautiful long dress was pushed down by the lady next to her and let out a shrill scream.

The lady's maid nervously looked over to see the lady who had been pushed down, and ended up falling off the wall as well.

This made the people around completely lose the desire to watch the fun or help. They stood there nervously, not daring to move or even turn their heads, for fear that the heavy decorations on their heads would cause them to lose their balance and fall off the wall.

"See, I told you, it's going to be okay. It's safe here."

Li En smiled and said, "Everyone, dance to your heart's content."

"My Lord, please stop joking."

Romyada swallowed.

"I'm not kidding you guys. From now on, all dances will be held on high walls."

Li En said.

"We'll pay for the guardrail repairs."

Romyada finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "But before it's repaired, can you let us go down first?"

"Yes, we'll pay for the fence. Lord, please cancel today's dance for now, or move it to another venue."

The nobles echoed one after another, and in the gap between their words, the screams of the noble ladies rang in their ears again, and two more ladies in large skirts unfortunately fell off the high wall.

The civilians watching the excitement under the high wall also screamed.

The sounds echoed together, like a symphony of life, which made the nobles terrified.

"How can I ask you to pay? The money must be paid by the Lord's Mansion, but I really can't take it out, so I can only borrow money from the bank."

Li En said distressedly, "But we still owe the Imperial Bank too much money. The Imperial Bank will definitely not lend us money. Unless we find another bank."

"The Holy Empire has no other banks except the Imperial Bank. Lord, please don't worry about it. We can pay for the construction of the fence."

Romyada, the richest man in Green Shade Territory, did not think that building a guardrail would cost too much money. To him, it was just a drop in the bucket and he could just consider it as a contribution to Green Shade Territory.

Besides, the money was not paid by him alone, but shared by all the nobles.

What he is most worried about now is whether he can go back alive. He doesn’t want to die because he hasn’t spent all his money yet!
The other nobles had the same idea. They didn't want to be blown away by the wind like the noble ladies.

"I also plan to widen the city wall by three meters so that the ladies won't have to worry about falling when standing on the high wall. Will you also contribute to this?"

Lee En asked.

The nobles said without hesitation,

"Let's go out."

"I also plan to build a 50-meter-tall statue of the new lord so that everyone can admire my splendor. Will you also contribute to this?"

Li En continued to ask.

The nobles hesitated for a moment, and several more people were squeezed down, this time including men.

"Let's go out."

"I'm also planning to renovate the outer city. Look at all those people down there, their living conditions are so shabby. Compared to the inner city, it's a world of difference. My goal is to make the architecture of the inner and outer cities consistent, and to double the width of the roads. Will you also contribute to this?"

Li En became more and more shameless as he spoke, and the nobles felt their scalps tingling. How much money would this cost?
Seeing their embarrassment, Li En said with a smile,

"I appreciate your kindness, but I can't ask you to pay for it. If there's no bank, can't we just build a new one?"

"Build a new bank? What do you mean?"

"Green Shade Territory has its own bank. With its own bank, the Lord's Mansion will borrow money to build these public facilities and will also repay you with interest."

This time, Li En has really mastered the use of coercion and inducement.

The nobles and wealthy people looked at each other, whispered to each other, risked their lives and negotiated with Li En for half an hour, and were finally persuaded by Li En.

Only after they signed the share subscription agreement that Li En had asked the Minister of Finance to prepare long ago did Li En let Sophie build the ice bridge again.

The nobles hurried down the bridge, fearing that if they were any later they would be left on the high wall to watch the scenery.

When they got off the bridge, they found that the ladies who had fallen were standing on the ground safely.

They were still happily sharing with their besties the wonderful experience of being saved by a huge ice crystal.

Li En looked at Sophie with satisfaction and waved the subscription agreement representing wealth in his hand.

"Miss Sophie, what would I do without you?"
