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

Chapter 233 Tonight's Prey (Includes many beautiful pictures)

Augustus clapped his hands and signaled the girls from the Red Theater to go down.

Zenobia also returned to the dining table. She was not very hungry to begin with, and now she was in no mood to eat.

She became even more suspicious that Li En and Dorothy had a relationship. After all, apart from that man's looks, she was not inferior to anyone else, and she had taken the initiative to show her affection many times. Why was Li En different from other men?
She raised her glass and took a sip of red wine. She wanted to start from another aspect, so she talked to Li En about recent literature.

Zenobia is also a loyal literature lover, but Li En knows very little about the literary works of the Holy Empire, and the two are still not on the same channel.

"Viscount Simon, what exactly do you like?"

Zenobia rested her chin on one hand and asked in confusion, "What kind of woman can get close to you?"

"If it's just about getting closer, Your Highness the Princess is very close to me right now."

Lee En said this in a flat tone, deliberately pretending not to know what Zenobia was talking about.

Zenobia just smiled and said, "I mean into your heart."

"So this is the topic you want to discuss?"

Li En also raised his glass.

Zenobia watched him with interest.

Under the table, Zenobia gently placed her foot on Augustus's foot.

Maybe she felt that Li En was too difficult and wanted to find some comfort from Augustus.

"I like witches."

Li En suddenly said.

Zenobia looked at Li En in surprise. She didn't expect him to be so frank.

She looked at Augulas sideways and said, "I didn't expect that my hobby is the same as yours, my dear Augulas."

Augulas thought that Li En was talking about Sophie, the former guardian witch of Green Shade Territory, and naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Simon, if you really like witches, be careful they might get out of control."

It was just a joke, and Li En smiled in agreement.

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. I will be extremely careful."

Zenobia looked at Augustus in surprise again. When did he become so generous?

Could it be that he had conquered both his body and soul, so he had forgotten Dorothy?
This is unlikely.

Or is it that the witch they are talking about is someone else?

"Who? Tell me, who is it."

Zenobia inquired.

"Sophie Omar."

Li En said with a smile.

He was not worried that Zenobia would cause trouble for Sophie.

Because Zenobia wouldn't do that.

She had no feelings for Li En per se, it was just a spur of the moment action and she would not argue with the witch about it.

After all, the lifespan of a witch is not long, and Zenobia is about to go to the Northern Continent. She doesn't have the time to spend time dealing with a witch. It's better to try to have fun and satisfy herself.

If she had time to look for Sophie, she might as well just put on her cloak, and after the sun sets, ride her horse and gallop through the streets outside the castle, looking for prey at night, giving those lucky ones an unforgettable experience.

In fact, this was Zenobia's plan tonight, because Li En rejected her again.

There are actually many drugs in related fields in the palace, but Zenobia disdains to use them.

Even if it was used, it would be useless to Li En, after all, he was already a six-star blood knight.

"That's all for tonight, Simon. Go back. Your witch is still waiting for you in Alexburg."

After dinner, Augustus said with a smile.

Li En knew that it was actually the young emperor who couldn't help himself.

After all, they are all young people full of vigor and vitality.

A beauty like Zenobia is indeed hard to resist, unless one is someone as determined as himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the delicious food. I have enjoyed myself very much tonight. Your Highness, I will take my leave."

Li En stood up, put his hands on his chest, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.

A flicker of regret flashed across Zenobia's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by joy.

Although Li En had left the restaurant, he could still hear the voices behind him.

Sometimes having good hearing is not a good thing.

Li En had always thought that Auglas had mastered Sequence 1, the Guardian Shield, but the price might be "no".

But now it seems that I was wrong. Perhaps the price of using the Guardian Shield is not the process, but the result.

The very competitive Augustus did not want Dorothy to know this, so he insisted on getting the Blue Dragon Whip before marrying Dorothy.

But Dorothy never thought of marrying him.

Li En returned to Alexburg, and Sophie, Diane and others were still having dinner.

Lee En joined them for dinner. Although she had no appetite for the food, watching Sophie, Kelly, Diane, Parker and other relatives eat was a simple pleasure.

"Where is Grandpa?"

Lee En asked.

"Grandpa has finished eating. He doesn't seem to have much appetite."

Diane answered quickly.

"Parker, you seem to be a lot stronger lately."

Li En suddenly discovered that Parker's three-star knight entry had become a four-star knight.

Parker said excitedly, "I made a breakthrough, thanks to several battles at sea."

Originally, he wanted to tell his brother as soon as he had the breakthrough, but he wanted Li En to take the initiative to discover that he had become stronger, so he kept it to himself.

"Not bad, Parker, your talent is almost catching up with mine."

Li En encouraged.

"No, there's still a long way to go."

Parker scratched his short blond hair sheepishly, then asked, "Grandpa said that the Emperor kept my brother here for dinner today. I thought you would be back very late."

"His Majesty the Emperor has to go to the higher ground. He has no time."

Li En said casually.

"Go to the high ground? What high ground?"

Parker asked in confusion.

"If a child doesn't understand, don't ask so many questions."

Kelly lifted her cheeks with a smile and looked at Li En curiously, "With whom?"

Uh, Aunt Kelly, you are really nosy.

"Isn't Augustus very loyal? Why did he suddenly change? Or are all men like this?"

Seeing that Li En didn't answer her, she guessed that it was probably someone who couldn't speak, so she talked to herself.

"Aunt, what are you talking about? Why can't Daisy understand?"

Daisy asked with her big, bright eyes twinkling.

Parker's cheeks flushed slightly, he didn't understand either.

But he will soon understand.

Because tonight he decided to go to the streets outside the castle with a mask on to find those ronin knights to test his skills.

He wanted to have a real man-to-man duel with them.

The uncles and aunts in the family always gave in to him and made it impossible for him to grow.

After dinner, Parker said goodbye to his brothers, aunts and sisters, put on the ordinary armor he had just bought from the blacksmith shop, put on a knight's helmet and mask, rode a white horse, and left Alexburg.

It is impossible to find the Ronin Knight in the King District. He needs to go to areas outside the upper three districts to look for experts.

Parker squeezed his legs together, and the white horse neighed and rushed out.

The nights in Yalong City were still bustling, but thanks to the wide streets and the separation of pedestrians and vehicles, even a knight on horseback like Parker would not bump into passers-by.

As pumpkin carriages passed by, Parker felt the joy that speed brought him.

He has always loved riding horses. After becoming a four-star knight, riding horses became even more handy. Even though the horse under his crotch was a notoriously unruly and wild horse, he has now tamed it into a docile and obedient one.

What Parker didn't know was that his two curious kids, Aunt Kelly and Diane, insisted on taking Sophie and Lee En with them, and followed him in a rented pumpkin carriage, wanting to see how he grew up.

For the youngest boy in the family, Parker endured a lot of unnecessary attention.

Although Li En thought this was quite boring, Kelly thought it was necessary.

"Lee En, you really have no self-awareness as a brother. Don't you know how much attention Parker has lost because of your return?"

Aunt Kelly pretended to be distressed and said, "You know, Parker used to be the most popular child in the family. His every move touched the hearts of all Moriahs. But since you came back, he seems to have become invisible. Everyone is talking about you and paying attention to you all the time. Even if you change into a dress, you will be praised for a long time. What a huge gap in Parker's heart must be."

"In that case, Auntie, I'm very sorry about this, so I won't change into a dress in the future."

Li En said sincerely that since Annie was not in the royal capital, he did not need to satisfy Annie's obsessive-compulsive disorder and change into a new dress every day.

He didn't like complicated formal wear and felt much more comfortable in casual clothes.

"It's not the dress, it's the person. You don't know, when Parker was promoted to a three-star knight, Grandpa threw him a three-day party for everyone to celebrate. Now he's a four-star knight, but because of you, your family has to keep a low profile, and basically no one knows about it. I'm worried that this kid will be upset."

Aunt Kelly said.

Diane, the little girl who had been eating cake, suddenly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, my brother is wearing a mask. He must have done something bad. We need to catch him red-handed, bring him back, and give him a good spanking."

Kelly rolled her eyes, "Ignore Diane. She's been jealous of all the attention Parker gets since she was little because Diane is the least talented child in the family."

"How could Diane not have talent? Diane is the cutest little princess of the Moria family."

Diane put the cake down angrily, puffed out her cheeks, and said proudly.

"Yes, Diane is the cutest little princess of the Moriah family, but she can't do anything except eating."

Kelly said.

Diane took the cake back and continued eating. "I don't care what my aunt says. I am a strong person."

"So we need to pay more attention to Parker, lest he become a person with a twisted personality. Oh, if that happens, you will lose a lovely brother and gain someone who wants to compete with you for the title. Aren't you worried?"

Kelly looked at Li En with an exaggerated expression.

"I have no intention of inheriting the title. Haven't I been posthumously conferred the title of Viscount by His Majesty the Emperor?"

Li En said casually.

"That's Li En, not Simon. Your current identity is Simon."

Kelly said with a smile.

"Even so, I still have no intention of inheriting my family's title. If Parker wants it, he can fight for it."

"He can't do it. He has many excellent uncles and aunts above him."

Kelly shook her head. "Okay. Basically, you just want to follow Parker and see what he does."

Li En concluded.

"How can this be called stalking? This is caring. We need to care about Parker."

Li En shrugged helplessly and looked at Sophie who was listening very attentively.

"Sophie, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking, your family is really well connected."

Sophie said honestly.

"Of course, Sister Sophie, this is what family is. Even if Parker does something bad, we have to watch."

Diane worked on the strawberry cake seriously.

"I think everyone's worrying is unnecessary. Parker is just looking for someone to practice with."

Despite Lee En's explanation, the curious Kelly and the idle Diane still didn't believe it.

And Sophie also seemed to find it interesting to get to know Lee En's family, mainly because she now seemed to treat Diane as her own pet.

The pumpkin carriage followed Parker all the way to the middle district of Yalong City where the middle class gathered. The streets were no longer as wide as those in the upper three districts, and were even a bit crowded. Fortunately, the pumpkin carriage was a relatively flexible carriage and did not get stuck in traffic due to the crowded crowds.

Rows of tall buildings passed by the window, their Gothic spires piercing the sky.

The streets are crowded with small vendors selling all kinds of goods, from fresh fruits and vegetables to exquisite accessories, with a wide variety of goods available.

The civilians of Yalong City shuttled among the crowd, their clothes colorful and embroidered with exquisite patterns.

Parker rode through the alley where the blacksmith shop was. The clanging sound of iron seemed to be accompanying him, making him even more excited.

Finally, Parker came to an old castle.

This used to be the residence of a certain baron, but the baron was sent to the guillotine for political reasons. Later, it was rumored that the baron's mansion was haunted, so it was abandoned. Due to its unique location, close to the pier, it became a gathering place for many ronin knights and adventurers.

Many adventurers and warriors in Yalong City who did not join the army are now forming teams to explore new routes, making this old castle appear prosperous.

The so-called Ronin Knights are those knights who rely on their own efforts, do not take aristocratic courses, and only follow a knight teacher to learn. They also follow the path of chivalry, but have not been recognized by the country.

Strictly speaking, Li En also belongs to this category.

Also known as the knights without organization.

Compared with royal knights and regular noble knights, their combat effectiveness is generally higher than that of ronin knights, which is caused by the difference in educational resources.

But we cannot underestimate these ronin knights, because many of them will join adventure groups and accumulate experience in survival in the wild.

However, most of the Ronin Knights are very poor, and it costs a lot of money to follow the path of knighthood. Most of them have already emptied their family's wallets for three generations by the time they reach the rank of three-star knight. Unlike Li En, who relies on plug-ins, he has never tasted the bitterness of poverty.

Therefore, these ronin knights are willing to take on some missions from adventure groups to increase their own economic income.

"Who is willing to duel with me? If you win, I can take this bag of gold coins."

Parker took out a bag of gold coins and threw it on the ground.

Immediately a group of ronin knights arrived.

When they saw the horse Parker was riding, they knew that the visitor must be a nobleman.

But since they were wearing masks, they pretended not to know.

As long as they can make money, these ronin knights and adventurers who are struggling for a living are willing to participate.

"But I want to make one thing clear. If you are injured by me in a duel, I will not pay compensation."

Parker said.

The soft light of dusk sprinkled on the bag of scattered gold coins, emitting an even more dazzling light, attracting more people to watch.

A sturdy man in tattered armor pushed aside the onlookers and walked up to Parker. He was about to pick up the bag of gold coins directly, but was stopped by Parker's sword.

"Warrior, don't even think about taking my gold coins unless you defeat me."

The burly man sneered and punched Parker's white horse.

Parker was quick-witted and quick-handed, pulling the reins to turn the horse's head in time, saving the white horse from being hit hard.

Then he jumped off his horse and swung his sword at the strong man.

The burly man turned around and couldn't dodge, so he took out his tattered shield to block.

The shield was instantly cut in half by Parker's sword. Parker took advantage of the victory and swung his fist, hitting the strong man in the abdomen.

The sturdy man flew backwards and hit the already dilapidated city wall. With a loud bang, he collapsed along with the bricks and stones.

The onlookers laughed.

"Hahaha, is that all you have? Come on, let me do it."

Another challenger emerges.

When the pumpkin carriage quietly followed the castle, Parker had defeated three challengers in a row.

"It turns out Parker really came here to practice."

Kelly looked at Li En in surprise.

"Isn't this obvious? After he was promoted to a four-star Glory Knight, he must want to know where his level is."

Li En looked at Aunt Kelly speechlessly.

"Then your presence is even more necessary. What if Parker encounters a ruthless kidnapper? The capital has been quite restless lately due to the war, and many adventurers have come."

Kelly said.

Diane also curiously pressed her head against the window and clenched her fists, "Hit him, hit him, hit him."

Sophie looked at Diane. It seemed that she was not encouraging her brother, but wanted to go on stage and beat Parker up.

It seems that Kelly was right. Diane has always been jealous that Parker received more attention from his family than herself.

There is no way, the path to transcendence in this era is too harsh for women.

Diane is not a witch and has not been favored by the gods, so she can only be a foodie in a big family.

Sophie gently ruffled Diane's hair, silently comforting the little one.

It seems to be saying, even if you are useless, I will stay with you.

Diane felt a little embarrassed by the comfort. She blushed and said, "Men just like to fight and kill. It's really boring. In the end, they still have to rely on us for protection. If Parker is in danger later, none of you go. I will go to save him."

"?"

The three people in the carriage looked at Diane suspiciously at the same time.

Diane patted her chest and said, "Princess Diane of the Moria family is here. Who among you dares to be presumptuous?"

Although Moriah is only a duke, there is nothing wrong with Diane saying that she is a princess, because her status is indeed as noble as the princess of Frank's family.

Directly revealing your identity is actually a way to defeat your opponent.

In the royal capital, no one dared to attack the Moria family.

"Then can't Parker just reveal his identity himself? Do you really need to step in?"

"Impossible. Parker has been defeated. He certainly doesn't have the nerve to take off his mask and admit that he is from the Moria family. He doesn't want to be recognized. Only I can save him at this time."

Diane said firmly.

"So you have brains."

Aunt Kelly said with great relief.

Diane glared at her aunt and held Sophie, "Sister Sophie, she bullied me and froze her into an ice sculpture."

Sophie almost did this, but fortunately Li En stopped her in time.
"Diane was just joking, Sophie, don't be impulsive."

The table in front of Aunt Kelly had been frozen into an ice sculpture, and the hem of her skirt was stained with ice chips.

She hid behind Li En in fear.

Li En knocked on Diane's head and said, "If you make such a request again, I will confiscate all your desserts."

"Oh, no, Diane loves desserts. Diane can't live without desserts."

"Then you know you're wrong?"

"Diane knew she was wrong."

Diane stuck out her tongue, put her head close to Sophie, and whispered, "Sister Sophie, can you freeze Brother Li En too next time?"

Sophie shook her head.

She can meet all of Diane's requests, but she will not take action against Li En. This is a matter of principle.

Diane was a little jealous.

"Very good. Next time you are frozen by Sophie, I will not cast healing magic on you."

Li En said threateningly.

Diane immediately admitted her mistake sincerely, "I'm sorry, brother, I was wrong."

The sky gradually darkened and night enveloped Yalong City.

There weren't many lights near the abandoned castle, but that didn't affect Parker's duel with the people around him.

After defeating sixteen opponents in a row, Parker regained his confidence in becoming a four-star Glory Knight, but of course his body also reached its limit.

"I can't believe Parker has become so strong. He hasn't even been defeated once."

Diane showed an incredible expression.

Kelly smiled and said, "This is Parker, this is what the third generation of the Moria family should be like."

"Aunt, you don't seem to appreciate me and Brother Li En very much."

Diane said.

"Don't confuse you with Li En."

Kelly pinched Diane's chubby little face.

"Parker is almost leaving, and it's almost time for us to go back."

Li En judged that no one dared to challenge Parker to a duel, so the bag of gold coins would probably not be delivered today.

This is exactly what happened.

"Anyone else wants to challenge me?"

Parker asked.

The surrounding adventurers and ronin knights all dispersed, booing in regret.

Parker bent down, picked up the bag of gold coins, and jumped on his horse.

Just as he was about to leave, a mysterious woman in a black cloak walked through the crowd and came to Parker.

Her body was wrapped in a black cloak, almost blending into the night, but from her perfume and body shape, it could be determined that she was a woman.

Under Parker's doubtful gaze, he climbed onto Parker's horse and whispered in Parker's ear,

"Knight, take me away."

The mysterious woman pressed herself against Parker's chest and raised her head slightly.

She had a half mask on her face, but Parker was instantly attracted by her extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes.

　Haha, AI drawing is rubbish, six fingers, did you guys notice?
　　But it's so cute that I can still use it.

　　ps: Merry Christmas to everyone!
　　Sophie, Anna, Anne, Dorothy and Catherine send Christmas greetings to everyone!
