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

Chapter 242: Really Not Considering Marrying into the Family? ( words updated, please vote)
Earl Hall.

According to imperial regulations, the area of ​​an earl's palace cannot exceed that of a duke's palace, and the number of castles cannot exceed that of a duke's palace.

Therefore, there is only one castle in Earl Hall's Palace, named Toledo Castle. The construction style of this castle is completely fairy-tale style, which instantly reminded Li En of Disneyland, except that this castle is more ancient and luxurious.

The castle is surrounded by trees, which is a green area opened up in the king's area where every inch of land is valuable. When the carriage arrives here, it feels like it has arrived in the suburban forest, which further demonstrates the financial strength of the Earl's family. Even the royal palace cannot do this. Tole Castle seems to have jumped out of an ancient fairy tale book, lying quietly in the lush forest with its unique charm.

The castle's towering towers pierced the sky, the Hall Creed banner atop the spire fluttering in the breeze. The stone path leading to the castle gates was flanked by neatly trimmed rose hedges, each blooming and fragrant.

Passing through the heavy door, one enters a spacious courtyard. A central fountain sculpture is vibrant, its water droplets dancing with silver brilliance in the moonlight. On the nearby stone benches, lavishly dressed maids often relax and chat.

Although there was no need to take a carriage inside the castle, Li En still walked for 20 minutes under the guidance of Alexander and Cruise to reach the main body of the castle from the main gate.

This was Li En's first visit, and if he hadn't been holding Alexander in his arms, he would have come empty-handed.

If he came to propose marriage, he would most likely be kicked out by the Earl's family.

This is equivalent to blackmailing one's son.

But fortunately, my purpose is not among them.

And the idle Miriam also followed, complaining about the extravagance of the upper class of the empire all the way.

Miriam, who thought she had seen the world, had only seen such a magnificent castle once.

A well-dressed servant led Li En and Alexander to the castle's reception room.

The pure gold door with intricate carvings slowly opened, and what greeted us was the rich aroma of wood and the faint sound of string music coming from afar.

On the dome, exquisite murals come alive under the candlelight, depicting scenes of the Hall family's ancestors' battles. The magnificent chandelier, like a jewel in the crown, emits a gentle and elegant light.

The flames of the intricately carved marble fireplace dance, casting warm yellow light and shadows, which contrast beautifully with the flowers in the gold-rimmed vase next to it, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

In the center of the spacious room, a long mahogany conference table stood quietly, with exquisite porcelain and silver tableware placed on the table, emitting a faint silver light.

The long sofa along the wall is covered with delicate velvet, and the gorgeous patterns are faintly visible in the candlelight.

Through the tall windows, you can see the garden outside. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the neatly trimmed hedges, as if freezing this place into a permanent dusk.

In the reception room, the handsome middle-aged earl was already waiting.

Dorothy sat next to Earl Hall, looking a little worried.

Seeing Dorothy, the lively Alexander broke free from his father's arms and ran into Dorothy's arms.
"Mother."

"Be good, Alexander."

The fire demon Cruz followed behind Dorothy, a ball of fire that flickered.

Li En slowly walked up to Earl Hall, took off his hat, bowed slightly and saluted.

"Uncle Hall, you're looking for me."

"sit."

Lord Hall said, his eyes falling on Miriam beside Li En.

Li En just casually said, "An ignorant subordinate."

Count Hall knew that this was probably a witch from the Guardian Bureau, but there were so many witches in the Guardian Bureau that Count Hall couldn't recognize them all.

As for the Time Witch who was about to be executed, Earl Hall was completely unaware of it.

In fact, 90% of the executions of witches will not be made public. Only when those witches who are famous die with honor will the whole city watch.

Most of them are resolved within the Guardian Bureau and the Vatican.

Earl Hall did not want to interfere in the affairs of the Guardian Bureau. He already had the power of the supreme commander of the navy. If he interfered with the Guardian Bureau, it would arouse Augulas's vigilance.

This is also the reason why Dorothy has always been reluctant to accept the position of deputy director of the Guardian Bureau.

Augulas wanted to use this opportunity to separate Dorothy from the Hall family and get her on his side.

He even wanted Dorothy to be his queen.

Miriam also felt a sense of oppression when being stared at by Earl Hall.

She could sense that this was a powerful human being, but Miriam was fearless. She maintained an indifferent expression and looked at everything in the living room, while secretly cursing the extravagance of these upper-class people in her heart.

Li En sat down opposite the Earl, and the servant brought him a cup of hot tea.

Li En took the teacup and said politely, "Thank you."

The servant was flattered.

Normally, no noble would thank their servants for bringing them tea.

The servant poured another cup of tea for Miriam. Although Miriam did not sit down with Li En, she took the exquisite teacup and nodded slightly to the servant.

Then Earl Hall asked his servants to take Miriam to the side hall to rest first, and did not let her stay in the reception room.

"Li En, what happened at sea after I fell unconscious?"

Lord Hall asked.

He actually wanted to ask about the Blue Dragon Whip, but it was not easy to speak directly, so he took a step-by-step approach.

"After you fell unconscious, I was also seriously injured, but fortunately the angel Soraya arrived in time and saved us."

"You really have a connection with an angel and can call upon him at any time?"

There was a flash of disbelief in Earl Hall's eyes.

Li En shook his head. "It's not that I can summon it at any time, it just increases the probability. I can only say that I am lucky. I succeed every time."

"No matter what, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to come back."

Count Hall recalled the scene of fighting with the Azure Dragon King and felt that he was indeed a very difficult enemy. Perhaps both he and Moria, two peak Seven-Star Order Knights, could not defeat him.

"Uncle Hall, there's no need to be so polite between us. You're Dorothy's father, and I should do all this."

Li En said modestly.

"Where is the Azure Dragon King?"

Earl Hall continued to ask.

"The Azure Dragon King is dead. Now the Azure Dragon Court has a new king."

Li En said.

Hearing this answer, Earl Hall was stunned again.

Unexpectedly, such a powerful Blue Dragon King also fell under the attack of the angel.

"Why do you want to go to the Azure Dragon Court?"

Earl Hall was looking for the Blue Dragon Whip, but what was Li En's purpose? Earl Hall felt that he had to find out.

"I went to look for Catherine."

Li En made no secret of his true purpose.

The next war in the Blue Dragon Court still needs to win the support of Earl Hall and Grand Duke Moria, so Li En chose to confess part of the truth to Earl Hall.

And ever since he cleared out Earl Hall's second personality, he has become half one of his own.

Besides, the Earl is not a fool, and ordinary lies cannot deceive him.

It’s better to tell the truth.

"Why did Catherine appear in the Azure Dragon Court?"

"I don't know. I just got a clue that she might appear there. That's why I followed the expeditionary force before."

Li En said.

"Yes, Li En had lost some of his memory before, and we all forgot about Catherine. I accompanied Li En to the Azure Dragon Court to retrieve his lost memory."

Dorothy explained.

Earl Hall nodded slightly, "Did you find it?"

"Found it. Not only did we find Katherine, but we also found the Mother of Dragons. The Mother of Dragons is actually Katherine's aunt, a member of the Jackson family. Because of the Azure Dragon Whip, she turned into a giant pseudo-dragon."

Li En did not explain in detail, but Earl Hall was able to guess the specific information. Catherine's aunt was originally a human, but due to the effect of the Azure Dragon Whip, she turned into a dragon mother and gave birth to an army of sub-dragons.

So it is easy to imagine what Auglas will do after obtaining the Blue Dragon Whip.

He would certainly create such an army of dragons, and he chose his queen from the beginning, Dorothy Hall, his own daughter.

Although Earl Hall never supported Augustus's pursuit of Dorothy, Augustus was the emperor.

If he forced Dorothy to become his queen, the Hall family, who had sworn eternal allegiance to the Frank family, would be unable to resist.

Earl Hall also signed a blood pact. If such a situation arises, he may push his daughter into the fire pit against his will.

But he was unwilling to do so.

Although Dorothy is a legendary witch, with her strength she can leave the country on her own and escape to other places on the continent.

But the Hall family is in the hands of the Frank family. Can Dorothy really run away regardless of the consequences?
the answer is negative.

Earl Hall knew that his daughter was a very sentimental person.

She couldn't abandon her family.

As for resistance, as long as Dorothy Hall still has the blood of the Hall family flowing in her veins, she will never be able to resist the Frank family. This is the influence of the blood pact.

The family blood contract signed by Earl Hall in order to protect Dorothy from being used as an experimental subject has now become a shackle that restricts Dorothy.

Earl Hall also felt very helpless.

The only solution Dorothy could think of was to get married early to stop Augustus from having any thoughts of her own.

But she chose to look for someone from the Moria family, Lee En Moria.

If Dorothy married Lien Moriah, it would mean an alliance between the Hall family and the Moriah family, violating the Creed family covenant and causing even deeper dissatisfaction and fear from Auguras.

Unless Li En Moriah is willing to give up his identity as a member of the Moria family and marry into the Hall family.

This raises another problem.

Will Augustus really watch Dorothy marry Li En?

The answer is also no.

Earl Hall found that his daughter's marriage had reached a dead end. The only thing he could do now was to prevent Augulas from getting the Blue Dragon Whip.

He is not in a hurry to marry Dorothy now because he has not yet obtained the Blue Dragon Whip.

Once he gets the Azure Dragon Whip, he will no longer give Dorothy the freedom to choose.

"I will not let Auglas get the Azure Dragon Whip."

Earl Hall said in a firm tone.

This is exactly what Li En and Dorothy want to achieve.

"I've already convinced Auglas that he will send witches to participate in the expedition. All we need now is Dad's cooperation."

Dorothy said.

Earl Hall was slightly stunned. "Witches joining the battle?"

"Yes. Li En will go and persuade Grand Duke Moria, and he will cooperate with us."

Although Dorothy did not tell her the specific plan, Earl Hall saw that Dorothy and Li En were confident and must have been quite sure of it.

He suddenly felt like he was getting old and it was time to leave the world to this group of young people.

"As long as you prevent Auguras from obtaining the Azure Dragon Whip and prevent more people from bleeding and being killed due to my negligence, I will follow your arrangements."

Lord Hall said.

"Uncle Hall, don't worry. I won't let Augulas get the Azure Dragon Whip, and I won't let Dorothy marry Augulas."

Li En assured Earl Hall.

Earl Hall looked at Li En and Dorothy and said, "This is the world of you young people. I am really old."

"Dad, you're not old at all."

Dorothy said.

"Yes, Grandpa, you are still very young."

Alexander echoed.

Earl Hall smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand, hugged Alexander, ruffled her black hair, and looked at Li En again with a much softer look.
"Li En, you saved me again. Tell me what you need, and I can give it to you."

"Uncle Hall, I don't need anything. These are what I should do."

Li En felt that it was too early to ask for compensation now. After all, when he married Dorothy in the future, all these would be his.

Unless Dorothy changes her mind and doesn't want to get married.

This is indeed possible. Dorothy has discovered that she no longer needs to rely on having children to reduce the burden of magic, because she can help her clear the entries.

She is now the vice president of the Entry Mutual Aid Association. If things get out of control, there is no reason for me not to help her clean up.

And it seemed that he had never confessed his feelings to her. Apart from the bond of Alexander, the emotional foundation between the two was not solid.

Besides, it was impossible for him to cancel his engagement with Catherine.

It was only normal for a legendary witch as high and mighty as Dorothy to refuse to marry him.

Thinking of this, Li En asked weakly,
"Uncle Hall, do you still want the Eye of the Future?"

This sentence has two meanings. The first is whether the agreement between Earl Hall and Old Jack is still valid, and whether the Eye of the Future can be used as a betrothal gift to make Dorothy sign a marriage contract with him.

The second meaning is whether Dorothy is willing to marry.

Earl Hall needs a man who can protect Dorothy, because he can no longer do it himself because of the family blood pact.

Li En is a man who can summon angels to save him twice, and is Earl Hall's only choice.

Even so, Earl Hall was still brooding over Catherine's affairs.

He looked at Dorothy hesitantly.

Dorothy's cheeks turned slightly red. Of course, she could understand what Li En meant.

But this doesn't feel like a confession at all.

"Do you like Dorothy?"

Earl Hall suddenly asked.

This made Dorothy instantly nervous, and she wanted to stop her father from asking questions.

"like."

Li En said it almost without hesitation.

Dorothy's face turned even redder, and many scenes of her interactions with Li En emerged in her mind, although most of them were not suitable for children.

Earl Hall nodded slightly. "Then you can just give the Eye of the Future to Dorothy. I'm not very interested in gifts."

After a pause, Earl Hall continued,
"Li En, are you really not considering marrying into the Hall family? You will be the head of the Hall family in the future."

"If I marry into his family, Grandpa will probably be so angry that he will vomit blood. I want him to live a few more years."

Li En used Grand Duke Moria as a shield.

If he married into the wife's family, he would not be able to marry multiple wives.

What about Catherine? What about Sophie? What about Nancy and Anna? Fia... forget about that, it's just a simple py relationship.

Li En was daydreaming when he saw Dorothy's burning gaze.

Although the young men of the empire are always happy to confess their love to Dorothy and duel for her.

But they never really moved Dorothy.

But Li En is different.

He was the only person who made Dorothy happy, both body and soul.

So after hearing Li En's confession, Dorothy felt both shy and expectant.

If their engagement cannot be made public for the time being, then it's better to keep it secret.

"Okay, I don't have any more questions. Alexander, please stay and keep Grandpa company. You can go back first."

Lord Hall did not keep the two of them for dinner.

The two young men's eyes were shrunken, and he knew that he should leave them alone now.

Dorothy and Li En said goodbye to Earl Hall and got on Dorothy's pumpkin carriage. They completely forgot that the time witch Miriam was still staying in the Earl's mansion.

Alexander and Cruz stayed to have dinner with Earl Hall while they returned to the tower.

The pumpkin carriage moved forward slowly.

Li En reached out and took Dorothy's hand.

"If you want the Eye of the Future, I can give it to you now, but I must tell you that using the Eye of the Future will cost you the loss of an important person in your life. This is the price. If possible, I hope you will never use the Eye of the Future."

"Then I don't want it. I'll stay with you."

Dorothy said directly.

Li En was slightly stunned. "Aren't you afraid that I will use the Eye of the Future and cause you to disappear or die?"

"Doesn't that just prove that I am very important in your heart?"

Dorothy said.

"Of course you are an important being. I will never use the Eye of the Future."

Lee En assured Dorothy and then pulled her into his arms.

The two of them haven't been affectionate for a long time.

"Then will you use the Azure Dragon Whip on me?"

Dorothy asked in surprise.

"No, I have my own."

Li En leaned forward and pressed Dorothy down on the car seat.

The pumpkin carriage returned to the tower from Earl Hall's Palace. At its speed, it should have only taken more than ten minutes, but it took several hours.

The young men and women in the car enjoyed a wonderful time without being disturbed.

"Li En, tell me again."

"Dorothy, I like you."

"How much do you like it?"

“I love it so much that I can’t stop.”

The pumpkin carriage bumped along towards an unknown direction, the air in the carriage filled with the scent of hormones and love.

When we returned to the tower, it was already dawn the next day.

If Dorothy wasn't a witch, she probably wouldn't be able to get off the carriage.

"Let's get engaged quietly."

Dorothy suggested.

"No, I can't let my woman suffer any injustice. Let's wait until the Azure Dragon Court stabilizes and then we'll get engaged there."

Li En had made plans. Since he couldn't get engaged in a grand ceremony in the Northern Continent, he would choose the Canglong Court.

Let the expedition team become Dorothy's wedding procession.

“That sounds good.”

Dorothy smiled in agreement and kissed Li En on the cheek, "I need to take a shower first."

She had too much of Lee En's scent on her body. If she didn't wash it off, Cameron and Ellie would probably find out.

Although these two idiots have no experience, it is not ruled out that they would not think too much.

Besides, Sophie and Fia would also come to the tower today. Li En decided to take a bath with Dorothy before Sophie and Fia arrived.

While taking a shower, the two couldn't help but stick together again. Couples in love are always easily stimulated by hormones.

Li En discovered that there was a big difference between witches and ordinary people. Catherine could never complete many difficult moves, but Dorothy could.

While the two were busy making love in the bathroom, Sophie and Fia arrived at the tower.

Fia and Sophie both like Dorothy's Tower.

Because there are not only interesting magical creatures here, but also endless magic books to read.

The most important thing is that this is the headquarters of the Entry Mutual Aid Association.

They can continue to make magic cards and discuss pets and knowledge here.

Sophie has regarded the knowledgeable Faye as her teacher and always asks her for advice about pets.

Fia also gave Sophie a potted cactus plant, which she claimed would never die and could survive even in the most difficult environments, as a token of her friendship.

Fia thought that if Sophie could kill a cactus, then the only pet she could have in the future would be a vampire like Li En.

Sophie held her beloved cactus and carefully poked the cactus's thorns with her hands.

Hearing the voices of Fia and Sophie, Li En held Dorothy in his arms and asked nervously, "Is the bathroom soundproof?"

Dorothy nodded, "Just need to set up a barrier."

"Well, louder then."

Dorothy knew what Li En meant, and she felt embarrassed and annoyed.

Why does this man like listening to sounds?

Dorothy's voice was beautiful, like a nightingale singing, the most pleasant melody, which made Li En enjoy this time of love even more.

If he had a mobile phone, he would record the sound without hesitation.

Unfortunately, in this era, not to mention mobile phones, even landline phones had not been invented yet.

"You have to sing to me more often in the future, okay?"

Li En touched Dorothy's nose affectionately.

"This isn't singing at all."

Dorothy's face was as red as an apple, and her body was covered with the steam from the bathroom. She looked crystal clear, like the most perfect work of art.

Li En pinched her tender face until a layer of grievance filled her eyes, and then he let go.

Considering that Sophie and Fia were outside, Li En didn't want to waste any more time to avoid being discovered by the two powerful witches, especially Fia, whose intuition was terrifyingly sharp.

"Sophie, don't you want to take a shower? I think the bathroom in the tower should be available."

Although Fia has been to Dorothy's Tower only a few times, she is very familiar with the environment here.

Because this morning, Sophie visited the place where she kept her pet briquettes, which caused her body to be covered with dust, and Fia's manor happened to have no hot water supply due to a collective water outage in that area, so neither of them took a shower.

Fia thought Dorothy wouldn't mind borrowing her bathroom.

Sophie, who was covered in dust, felt that she really needed to take a shower, so as to avoid seeing Li En later, which would not look good.

Fia began to look for Dorothy in the tower and asked Sophie to go to the bathroom first.

Sophie walked to the bathroom door and turned the doorknob.

Can't open it? Is there someone inside?

Sophie knocked on the door, but there was no response.

So Sophie turned the handle again.

Finally, the door opened.

Li En, wearing a bathrobe, stood in front of her, his tall figure casting a shadow.

Sophie raised her head and saw that the ends of the blond man's hair were still dripping with water. She was slightly stunned.

"Leen?"

"Sophie, do you want to come in and take a bath together?"

Li En looked at the dust on the tip of Sophie's nose and couldn't help but reach out and wipe it clean for her.

Sophie blushed and stepped back.

She was not yet ready to take a bath with Li En, this was happening too fast.

She shook her head in refusal.

Li En closed the door with a look of regret, but he was actually very panicked inside. Fortunately, it was Sophie who knocked on the door, not Fia.

If it was Fia, that fox nose would have probably smelled Dorothy.

Dorothy hid in the bathtub, carefully poked her head out, and her eyes conveyed, "Gone?"

Li En nodded.

Sophie's mind was a little confused. She turned around and hugged the cactus blankly to look for Fia.

Li En quickly walked out of the bathroom and found that Sophie and Fia were not in the living room, so he called Dorothy out.

Maybe because she had just taken a shower, Dorothy's cheeks were still a little flushed. She was relieved when she saw that no one saw her.

In addition to carpets, table lamps, magic books, sofas, crutches, crystal balls, and bookshelves.

"Oh, look, Dorothy and Lee En come out together."

"What did these two people do in the bathroom just now?"

"When will you get married?"

Dorothy waved her hand, and a cloud of magic dust spread all around. The chattering magical creatures immediately fell silent, and the world became quiet.

"If you continue discussing this topic, next time I will do more than just take away your voice."

Dorothy said, covering her hot cheeks. She was now a little worried that the magical creature had told Sophie and Fia that the two of them had entered the bathroom together.

Fortunately, these magical creatures also knew how to recognize their masters and did not speak carelessly.

Li En fully agreed with Dorothy's approach. He didn't want Sophie to hear these strange remarks.

"Dorothy, are we forgetting something?"

"Forgot something?"

Dorothy looked at Li En curiously.

Li En thought for a moment and said, "It seems like I've forgotten someone."

"Who?"

"The time witch Miriam who followed me to the Earl's Mansion yesterday seems to have fallen into the Earl's Mansion."

Li En suddenly recalled.

Dorothy also suddenly realized.

"It's okay, just tell Alexander to take her with him when he comes back."

Sophie and Fia came up from downstairs and saw only Li En sitting on the sofa.

Dorothy came out of her room and greeted the two of them politely.

"Fia, Sophie, good morning. You came really early today. Oh, Li En is here too."

"Yes, Miss Dorothy, I borrowed your bathroom for a moment. I hope you don't mind. The water supply in the area where I live happens to be cut off."

Li En said.

"It's ok."

Dorothy said generously, "Yalong City is prone to water shortages every autumn, and even worse in winter."

Fia looked at Li En suspiciously. Since Yalong City is very large, some areas will indeed have water outages, but it will definitely not be in the upper three districts.

This lame lie might be able to fool a simple witch like Sophie, but it would never fool Fia.

She pushed her gold-rimmed glasses, thought for a moment, and came to the conclusion that the two had just been bathing together.

Dorothy probably felt embarrassed, so she cooperated with Li En and told a lame lie.

And what about Li En?

Fia looked at Sophie and immediately understood.

Li En was attracted by the silly witch Sophie.

She looked at Li En with admiration again, not understanding how Li En did it, liking all the pretty girls so seriously, or were all men like this?

Noticing Fia's burning gaze, Li En twitched his lips.

He almost guessed what Fia was thinking.

Don't say anything about Fia admiring my own philandering. He just wants to face the Shura field himself.

I just made the same mistake that all men make.

Because he didn't want to face Fia, who was too smart and had unique ideas, Li En first praised the cactus in Sophie's hand, and then left early on the pretext of having to discuss important matters with Grand Duke Moria.

As soon as Li En walked to the door of the tower, he saw Cameron and Ellie rushing over.

"Master President, something bad has happened."

Cameron saw Li En and said breathlessly, "The director found out that Miriam is missing, and now the entire Guardian Bureau is looking for Miriam."

Ellie nodded and added, "The chief is furious."

Someone escaped from Hongta prison. If the media knew about this, it would definitely become the new headline of the Holy Empire.

The public began to question the power of witches.

It seems that Nina Owen's clone still couldn't deceive Ophelia.

Originally, Li En thought that if things went well, the clone would be able to go to the guillotine instead of Miriam.

Now it seems that things are not going so smoothly.

"Have you two also been sent to look for Miriam?"

Lee En asked.

"No, our main task is still Miss Sophie."

Cameron said.

Li En frowned and whispered,
"It seems we are under suspicion."

Cameron and Ellie looked at Li En in surprise.

Only then did they realize that their decision to rush back to find Li En seemed to be a mistake.

"Director Ophelia, please stop hiding it, okay?"

Li En said.

Ophelia walked out of the Quiet Forest, leading two hounds.

This hound is not an ordinary hound, but a spiritual hound with a very keen sense of smell and spiritual perception.

They can clearly identify the scent of each witch.

So if Miriam were here, the Spirit Hound would tell Ophelia.

Unfortunately, because Miriam was not in the tower at the moment, the spiritual hounds did not play their role.

"Our important prisoner is missing, and I'd like to ask Deputy Chief Miss Hall for help."

Ophelia made the excuse she had prepared long ago.

In fact, she just suspected Dorothy and Li En.

The reason for the suspicion was very simple. The time when Augulas asked him to go to the palace yesterday was exactly the time when Miriam escaped from prison.

She also learned from other witches that she had gone to the top floor once.

So who is pretending to be himself?
There has never been a prison break in the Guardian Bureau over the years.

It was not until Li En became a special consultant and Dorothy was appointed as the deputy director of the Guardian Bureau that Miriam's prison escape occurred, making it difficult for Ophelia not to be suspicious.

But Ophelia didn't understand why the two men kidnapped Miriam.

Miriam had no connection with them at all and could be said to be a complete stranger.

"Of course, Miss Hall and I are very willing to cooperate with the Director to find this important criminal."

Li En said with a smile, not showing any panic.

Ophelia walked up the steps of the tower with her two spiritual hounds, and Cameron and Ellie followed nervously behind.

When Dorothy saw Ophelia and Li En appear together, she immediately understood what had happened.

This is to find the Time Witch Miriam.

When Sophie saw the director of the Guardian Bureau again, she put her hands on her chest and made a witch's guarding gesture.

"Director."

"Well, Ice Witch, have you felt anything special lately?"

Ophelia asked with concern.

Sophie is a key monitoring project of the Guardian Bureau. Although Cameron and Ellie will report her situation regularly, Ophelia couldn't help but ask with concern since she saw it.

Sophie shook her head.

"Well, that's good. Perhaps this is the natural growth of a witch."

Ophelia finished speaking and looked at Dorothy.

"Deputy Director Hall, I'm here to ask for your assistance in investigating the prisoner's escape."

"It sounds like this is an internal matter of the Guardian Bureau. I'll take my leave now."

Fia was holding a thick book, and it seemed that she came to Dorothy to borrow some books.

"kindness."

Ophelia nodded slightly. Feia is still a member of the Holy See.

Ophelia doesn't want the Vatican to get involved.

What surprised Ophelia was that Fia and Dorothy seemed to have a good relationship.

Rumor has it that High Priest Fia is a loner and has no friends.

Now it seems that is not the case.

The relationships among the people in this room seem to be complicated.

What they have in common is that they are all connected to Li En.

After seeing Feiya leave, Ophelia slowly said,
"Deputy Director Hall, I wonder if you know the Time Witch Miriam."

"do not know."

Dorothy waved her hand and the teapot flew to her hand. She poured a cup of tea for Ophelia.

Ophelia took the teacup and looked at the two very well-behaved hounds at her feet.

If Miriam hid here, the spiritual hound would definitely find her and bark non-stop.

But now the two dogs didn't react at all, which meant that Miriam was indeed not here.

"Where is Mr. Li En?"

Ophelia looked at Li En.

"I'm sorry, although I'm a special consultant to the Guardian Bureau, I don't know all the witch ladies. Apart from Cameron and Ellie, I'm afraid I only know Sophie, Dorothy, and Ashley."

Li En said in a calm tone.

"Last night, the imprisoned Miriam was replaced by someone disguised as me. Although Miriam successfully escaped from prison, she did not have the key to unlock her shackles, and the key has always been with me. If she wants to be free, she must come to me to get the key."

Ophelia deliberately revealed key information, hoping to lure Li En and Dorothy into the trap.

But she didn't know that Li En had already used extreme methods to solve the shackles made of the Philosopher's Stone.

"It sounds like this witch named Miriam was only half successful. If her accomplices want to free her completely, they must go to the Guardian Bureau again."

Li En said this deliberately in a cooperative manner.

Ophelia nodded. "That's right. I'm looking forward to them coming to me."

Although it was only speculated that Lee En and Dorothy were the murderers, due to the lack of evidence and their special identities, even Ophelia could not arrest them directly and had to resort to this method.

The spiritual hound did not find Miriam, but it did not eliminate the suspicion of the two in Ophelia's mind.

"Director, do you need my help using the locating magic?"

Dorothy asked.

"Okay."

Ophelia couldn't tell whether Dorothy was acting or not, but she was quite cooperative.

She took out the photo of Miriam and handed it to Dorothy, observing the changes in Dorothy and Li En's expressions.

The two performed seamlessly and there was nothing unusual.

Ellie doesn't have much expression because of her facial paralysis.

Cameron, on the other hand, seemed a little nervous.

Li En realized that with Cameron's psychological quality, he needed at least one hypnosis session to prevent Ophelia from noticing the problem.

Dorothy took out the map of Yalong City, placed the photo of Miriam on the map, lit a candle, and with the candlelight, Dorothy chanted a spell and then sprinkled a handful of gravel.

The gravel gradually gathered into the shape of an earthworm, crawling towards the east of the map, and finally crawling out of Yalong City and turned into a ball of loose sand.

"I only know that she is not in Yalong City now."

"To the east of Yalong City is Gaojunling. I will send people to Gaojunling to look for Miriam."

Ophelia said, standing up.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't find the exact location."

Dorothy said apologetically.

This alleviated Ophelia's suspicion of her a little.

"Cameron, Ellie, come back with me to the Guardian Bureau."

Ophelia suddenly said, scaring Cameron so much that his face turned pale.

"Okay, I'll go back to the Guardian Bureau with them later. If something like this happens at the Guardian Bureau, I will definitely help find the Time Witch."

Li En stood in front of Cameron, blocking Ophelia's sight, and said seriously.

Cameron breathed a sigh of relief.

Ophelia said nothing and turned away.

Shortly after she left the tower, Lee En asked Dorothy to temporarily hypnotize Cameron and Ellie, making them forget the memory of Lee En's successful rescue of Miriam.

Afterwards, Li En did not rush to take Cameron and Ellie back to the Guardian Bureau, but went to Alexburg first according to the original plan.

Li En discussed the expedition with Grand Duke Moria, and before sunset, he took two of his subordinates to the Guardian Bureau.

Ophelia called Cameron to the director's office alone.

"Cameron, I have always trusted you very much."
