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

Chapter 249 Sophie: "I want to...stay with you. I'm sorry."

Although the Wise Men are not a power body in the empire, they have a supreme status because they gather the most intelligent people in the world.

They are the inventors, scientists and researchers of the empire. Although many of their inventions cannot be made public and only serve the highest level, almost no one dares to disrespect the wise.

The Witch Project is an important scientific research project of the Wise Group. It is a masterpiece that combines technology, magic and biology.

It was a project that all the wise men wanted to participate in researching, and Giovanni, who was in charge of the project, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award, and his name was recorded in the true historical records that could only be circulated among the wise men.

Even Ophelia, the director of the Guardian Bureau, must cooperate with the Wise Men.

No one dared to stand in front of the Wise Men, as this was equivalent to becoming an enemy of the country.

Cameron wiped his tears and watched the wise men put magic-controlled handcuffs on Sophie and Ellie, and then took them away. His heart was filled with resentment and grievance.

She didn't understand why guardians like Sophie and Ellie, who had clearly passed the period of loss of control and should be enjoying their own lives after their service ended, had to be sent to the Wise Group for research.

Are witches no longer human? Are witches truly unworthy of power?
Cameron didn't know that his thoughts were already quite dangerous and he had already become closer to Miriam, the first witch who rebelled against the Guardian Bureau.

"Don't cry anymore, Sister Cameron."

A 5-year-old Loli witch carefully handed Cameron a silk scarf and comforted him, "They are our heroes."

Cameron looked down at the little witch's tender face, covered his mouth and nose, and tried his best not to cry out loud.

"Ellie. Sophie."

Ophelia suddenly called out to the two of them. Ellie slowly turned around, but Sophie was still looking ahead and did not respond to Ophelia's meaning.

"Remember, you are the witches' heroes. The entire witch community will be blessed because of you."

Ophelia said solemnly.

Ellie nodded, "I understand."

Sophie still didn't respond, and no one knew what she was thinking.

She is like an iceberg, but her heart is softer than anyone else.

That hard shell is just a disguise.

Ophelia was slightly stunned.

Based on her understanding of Ellie, she thought that Ellie, who had a heroic complex, should be inspired by these words. But her performance was a little too flat.

Ellie seems to be no longer the same Ellie as before.

And Sophie, after not seeing her for so many years, she is still as cold as ever.

Perhaps for her, the Guardian Bureau is not her home, but just the beginning of a cage.

But she clearly possesses such powerful magic, why doesn't she resist?

Because deep down, I still hope that I can make some contribution to the witches, and hope that more people can survive because of them?

Although Ophelia couldn't bear it, she also reminded herself that the wise men did this for the future of the empire.

The wise men arrived at the door of the Guardian Bureau and were about to take the two witch experiments onto the carriage when they saw a familiar figure.

This man always appeared in the most authoritative newspapers of the empire, and even the wise men who devoted themselves to academic and experimental research had seen his photo.

"Simon Moriah. What are you going to do?"

The six-star knight who was responsible for escorting the Wise Men stood up and questioned Li En.

The old wise man Giovanni looked at Li En with inquiring eyes.

If it weren't for Li En's powerful background, being an outstanding descendant of the Creed family, being highly valued by Augustus, and even having a certain appeal in the Vatican and the secular world, he would have had a lot of influence.

Giovanni really wanted to include Li En in the research.

When Sophie saw Li En, a glimmer of light flashed in her dim eyes.

Ellie also showed a surprised expression.

Cameron, who had chased all the way, stopped crying. She wiped away her tears, as if she had found her backbone.

At this moment, she knew that even if the whole world abandoned them, Li En would not.

Li En frowned slightly when he saw the magic-controlled handcuffs on Sophie and Ellie's hands.

He ignored the Six-Star Knight's question, walked straight to Sophie, and asked angrily,

"Why are you wearing this? Don't you know how to resist?"

It was the first time Sophie saw Li En angry with her, which made her a little scared.

She lowered her head and whispered, "You said you rebelled because you were treated as a heretic. They didn't treat me as a heretic. They wanted me to be the witch's hero."

"So you're willing to be the witch's hero and leave me?"

Li En asked, the anger in his heart still not dissipated.

Sophie shook her head and said in a lower voice,
"I wanted to…stay with you. I'm sorry."

After hearing Sophie say this, Li En felt that the stuffy feeling in his chest had dissipated.

He looked at Ellie. Ellie was even more timid than Sophie. She didn't even dare to look at Li En.

She was afraid that Li En would be disappointed in her.

Compared to Sophie, Ellie is more like a devout believer.

Her feelings for Li En are definitely not love, but faith.

Whatever Li En ordered her to do, she would be willing to do it.

She was afraid of losing her faith, afraid of being abandoned again and becoming an outcast.

The six-star knight noticed that Li En had been blocking the team and the carriage, and had no intention of moving. He became a little impatient and asked again,
"Simon Moria, what are you going to do? Get out of the way and don't delay our trip."

"You can go, Sophie and Ellie, they have to stay."

Li En said lightly.

"Simon, let the wise men go."

Ophelia heard the noise at the door and came out with her secretary, accompanied by several witches.

The witches stared at Li En blankly. They all knew the man in front of them, Simon Moria, the man who dared to challenge the Witch Convention for the rights of witches.

Although they don’t know why they should fall in love and get married now.

But when I saw him, an inexplicable curiosity arose in my heart.

I'm curious about what this man in front of me is going to do.

"I'm sorry, Director, but this is the only thing I can't back down on."

Li En spoke slowly and drew out the knight's sword Enzo. The sword made a clear sound when it was unsheathed.

This sword has been with Grand Duke Moria for decades. Now it has changed hands and has truly become a sharp sword in Li En's hand.

It can carry both the power of light and the power of darkness, and is a well-deserved weapon.

"I've used Enzo to kill monsters, sirens, and undead, but I've never used it to kill a human. But if you insist on taking Sophie and Ellie away today, I'm sorry."

"What do you mean? Do you dare to kill a wise man?"

The six-star knight Baleum was so angry that he laughed.

It was the first time he had seen someone as arrogant as Li En, who actually dared to block the wise man's carriage.

Ophelia and the secretary were also terrified.

"Simon! What are you doing? If you don't want to be sent to the High Court again, put away your sword. You cannot harm the wise."

Ophelia said this entirely for Li En's sake.

But Li En didn't appreciate it.

"Wise men are intelligent. They know their value as alive is greater than their dead body, so they won't throw themselves before my knife. But some people are not so smart."

Li En looked at Baleem teasingly.

"Are you mocking me?"

Baleim frowned. Ever since he became one of the few six-star knights in the empire, no one dared to speak to him like that.

He decided to teach this ignorant guy a lesson.

Baleim knew that the Moria family had two geniuses. One of them was Li En, a theological genius that only appears once in a century. In a short period of time, he was promoted from an ordinary believer to a special believer, and now he lives as his twin brother Simon.

A Simon, a unique Blood Knight, died in a naval battle and was posthumously awarded the title of Viscount.

So the man in front of me must be Lee En Moriah.

Even a top-level believer would have no chance of winning against a six-star knight, because believers ultimately value the power of protection, not attack.

Moreover, he took the initiative to block the group of wise men and interfere with their activities. Even if he took action against him, he would be protected by imperial law.

Baleim drew the serrated sword from his back and followed Li En's lead.
"This sword has slain six hundred and fifty-six knights and twelve thousand eight hundred and thirty-one soldiers. If you must stand before me, it wouldn't mind tasting the blood of its followers."

"Oh, so your sword only kills your own people?"

Lee En asked sarcastically.

Baleem's face instantly dimmed. He had never considered these people as his own people. They were just whetstones for him to practice his swordsmanship.

But compared to Li En who only killed monsters and aliens, weren't those he killed his own people?
"Stop talking nonsense and look at the sword."

Baleim was enraged and swung his heavy serrated sword, slashing at Li En.

Li En dodged the powerful attack that was like a heavy weight.

There was a loud bang.

The serrated sword smashed into the ground where Li En had just stood, creating a spiderweb-like crack. The rotating saw teeth made a scraping sound, continuously expanding the scope of the crack, and gravel flew everywhere.

This serrated sword was modified by craftsmen from the Burns Empire and embodies the combination of cold weapons and machinery.

So it not only unleashes the power of the knight, but also provides mechanical attacks.

If Li En had been hit just now, half of his body would have been sawed off.

Baleim does not follow the path of a traditional Glorious Knight, but is more like a heavy knight known for his strength.

Heavy Knight, like Blood Knight, is a special classification of six-star knights. Heavy Knight requires that the knight possesses strength beyond the reach of ordinary people before advancing, such as a strongman.

Generally, a six-star shining knight is a quadrilateral warrior with balanced physique, swordsmanship, speed and strength, while a heavy knight will sacrifice swordsmanship and speed and be more prominent in physique and strength.

In other words, it has thick skin and amazing attack power.

If equipped with the right equipment, the heavy knight can almost instantly kill all the shining knights of the same period.

However, when it comes to dealing with monsters, the Sword of Light of the Shining Knight has more advantages because the Sword of Light has the effect of purification.

This is also why Baleim is so confident.

He has never lost to any knight in the country, and he is not afraid even when facing ordinary witches.

The secretary of the Guardian Bureau frowned and said, "Director, won't you stop him? He represents the Guardian Bureau. If we clash with the Wise Men, we will definitely be the ones to be punished in the end."

Ophelia glanced at the secretary. "Can I stop him?"

The secretary suddenly stopped talking.

"Send someone to fetch Grand Duke Moria."

Ophelia ordered.

The secretary nodded and immediately asked the witch to notify Grand Duke Moria.

I hope he can show up before Li En makes things worse.

Baleem's attack missed, so he swung his serrated sword and launched a second attack.

However, his speed was no match for Li En, and the serrated sword hit the ground again, leaving a crack deeper than the last time.

"It's useless. No matter how many times you dodge my attacks, if I hit you once, you will definitely die."

Baleim said confidently, "My sword gains power with every strike."

"Oh."

Li En responded calmly.

This arrogant attitude made Balemu even more angry, and he secretly vowed to chop the man in front of him in half.

In addition, with Ophelia and many witches watching nearby, Baleem felt completely embarrassed.

He increased the speed of his attack, but fell completely into Li En's trap.

In just 5 minutes, Baleem swung 32 swords, but failed to hit Li En at all.

"So all you know how to do is hide?"

Baleim, sweating profusely, gasped and said this.

Although each sword of the heavy knight is fatal enough to take away a shining knight.

But it also consumes a lot of energy, especially since Baleim increased his speed in order to avoid being laughed at by others.

"Coward, if you dare, just draw your sword against me. I thought you weren't worried about being sent to the Supreme Court."

Baleim cursed.

"hehe."

Li En sneered, "You are not worthy of my sword."

This sentence almost ignited Baleem's anger to the extreme. He was like a powder keg about to explode, gathering strength to attack again.

The wise men shook their heads, somewhat disappointed with the guardian knight in the team.

"All power, no brains."

Boom——

Just after Baleem finished his 33rd attack, the ground he was standing on collapsed.

The cracked ground was like a piece of broken glass. Baleem's heavy body became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The cracks spread rapidly, like a huge palm that stretched out in an instant.

As soon as his heels touched down, he felt the world crumbling beneath him.

Then, he fell down unexpectedly.

The rubble swept him away, rolling deeper into the ground.

This collapsed pit was the result of the combined force of his previous 32 attacks.

Looking at Balem covered by rubble, Li En's mouth curled up slightly.

"Sir Knight, thank you for burying yourself alive."

Only then did Balemu realize that he had fallen into a trap from the beginning.

From the beginning to the end, Li En had no intention of attacking him, but every sword he struck was within Li En's expectations.

Li En guessed that it would take some time for Baleem to crawl out from underground.

Baleim was the most powerful six-star heavy knight escorting the Wise Men. Seeing that he was defeated so easily by Li En, the other knights also felt a little wary of Li En.

Ophelia also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li En was crazy, he had not completely lost his mind. At least he did not attack Baleem. At this level, the Guardian Bureau could still be saved and would not be brought to the Tribunal.

"Simon, that's enough. As the head of the Security Bureau, I order you to leave now."

Although he could see her concerns, it couldn't influence Li En's decision.

He walked up to Ophelia, and a hint of pleading appeared in the proud Ophelia's eyes. She promised in a very low voice,

"Come back, I will protect you."

Even Ophelia herself found it incredible when she said this.

The secretary's expression changed slightly, and she keenly noticed something.

Li En had a blank expression on his face. He took off the medal representing the Special Advisor of the Guardian Bureau from his chest and placed it in Ophelia's hand.

"I am withdrawing from the Guardian Bureau. I will bear all responsibilities myself."

Ophelia's eyes widened as she looked at Li En in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"I don't hide behind a woman."

Li En's tone was emotionless as he looked at Ophelia calmly.

Plop, plop, plop——

Ophelia was furious, but her heart was beating wildly.

Just looking at the boy's handsome face from such a close distance made her feel a sense of security she had never felt before.

She knew that the boy in front of her was different from any man she had ever met.

Her father, a great emperor of the empire, treated women like clothes, changing them if he didn't like them.

Her younger brother, a new generation of imperial emperor, although in love with Dorothy, also values ​​Dorothy's beauty, power and status, and is destined to have more than one queen.

Her elders only regarded women as tools for the family to make profits, and believed that outstanding women should contribute to the family, obey arrangements, and engage in political marriages.

Her former admirers may have coveted her family background and status, or hoped for her protection, or were attracted by her beauty.

Of course, she has no admirers now, but if she wants a man, she only needs to look down to see a man who will obey her orders.

And Li En is the first man she looks up to after she reached her current position and became the director of the Guardian Bureau.

Li En didn't know how shocked Ophelia was. After putting down the medal, he turned and walked towards the young wise man.

The young wise man had a bunch of keys hanging around his waist, including the keys to Sophie and Ellie's handcuffs.

"Give me the key. I want to take my people away."

"Sir Simon, you don't dare to attack us, right? Because it violates the law."

The young wise man said with his face raised.

"The Heavy Knight has no brains, so I can let him deal with himself. If I encounter a blocker with brains, I don't mind letting Enzo get his blood on him."

Li En placed his sword on the young sage's fair neck.

Wise men do not fear death, but they fear meaningless death.

Because their limited lives need to be used for research and learning.

This scene scared everyone in the Guard Bureau.

Ophelia clenched the badge in her hand tightly, and she didn't feel any pain even when the spikes on the back of the badge pierced her palm.

"Simon, put the sword down."

Ophelia reminded,
"Yes, Sir Simon, please do not act so impulsively. Article 351 of the Imperial Sacred Code stipulates that all actions of the Wise are protected by Imperial law. No one can stop the Wise from taking action."

The secretary also anxiously advised that she thought Li En was illiterate and needed scientific education. The witches also became inexplicably nervous.

Cameron's palms were sweaty. She trotted over to Sophie and Ellie and grabbed Ellie's arm.

"Article 351 of the Imperial Sacred Code provides for the supplementary provisions that killing a wise man will result in life imprisonment, and in serious cases, the death penalty."

Lee En calmly added for the secretary.

The secretary was slightly stunned. "You, you, you know everything, why are you still doing this?"

"No reason, because I'm curious. I'm curious if a wise man would sacrifice his life for his research."

Lee En's sword moved closer to the young sage's neck, pressing against his skin.

The young wise man's Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared when he thought about how much he still had to do.

He had already realized that Li En was not trying to scare him.

If I don't hand over the key, I will really die.

"Why hasn't Grand Duke Moria come yet?"

Ophelia asked irritably.

"Reply, Director, Grand Duke Moria went to the palace for something, we, we didn't find him."

The witch stammered.

Ophelia clenched her fists.

"Director, this matter has nothing to do with us. We cannot stand on Simon's side. We must distinguish our positions. You are the director of the Guardian Bureau and the director of the Empire."

The secretary noticed Ophelia's unusual attitude towards Li En and reminded her.

She didn't want Ophelia, who relied on her own strength to climb to the position of director step by step, to ruin her future because of a boy who was more than ten years younger than her.

If Ophelia was not the director of the Guardian Bureau, her fate would be the same as other Frank women, and she would have to participate in an arranged marriage.

"Simon Moriah, although you are a rising star in the empire favored by the emperor, you have no right to treat the wise man in this way. Everything the wise man does is for the future of the empire."

The old wise man Giovanni spoke slowly, "Put away your sword, and we will pretend this never happened."

"Leave Sophie and Ellie alone, and I'll pretend this never happened."

Li En's tone was three points more determined than Giovanni's.

Giovanni frowned.

At this time, Baleim climbed out of the deep pit he had created, covered in dust and looking undignified.

As a knight, he knew he had lost.

I fell down before the opponent even attacked, so it’s not a loss at all.

But he was still filled with resentment in his heart.

Seeing Li En threatening the young wise man with a sword, Baleim rushed over without saying a word.

He didn't care whether the wise man was killed by Li En. He just found an excuse to attack Li En again.

This time, he must die.

All the strength of Baleem's body was concentrated in the arm holding the sword. His muscles were tense like an iron barrier, and every swing was carried with the force of thunder.

The serrated sword seemed to break free from the constraints of gravity, cutting through the air and bringing up waves of deafening air.

The serrations on the sword made a crackling sound as it was swung, as if it could tear apart all obstacles and ruthlessly devour everything in front of it.

Baleem's eyes were firm and fiery, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of fanaticism and cruelty.

He had fallen into Li En's trap before, but his attention is now completely focused on the wise man, and he will definitely not notice his sneak attack!
Although sneak attacks are shameful for knights, isn’t it shameful that Li En just plotted against him?
It's all about winning!
Baleim was absolutely confident in his sword. Even if he was facing a Seven-Star Order Knight, this full-strength attack was enough to tear through the opponent's defense and cause fatal damage.

In his opinion, fighting against opponents of the same level is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

The serrated sword traced a sharp trajectory through the air, a perfect combination of power and speed. Wherever the blade pointed, even the air seemed to be instantly sliced, leaving visible distortions. Wherever the blade passed, even the most indestructible armor seemed vulnerable before this undisguised destructive force.

As Baleam swung his arm, the serrated sword seemed to come alive. It spun and leaped, and every touch made the air burst and the opponent's heart tighten.

This time, Li En did not hide.

"Can't avoid it? Haha."

Baleem smirked.

However, the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because Li En only stretched out two fingers to catch his serrated sword, which was known to be able to cut through iron like mud.

How could such a strong body be that of a special believer?

Baleem didn't notice that Li En was wearing gloves.

And these gloves are made of Alexander's dragon scales.

Although it is unrealistic to trick Alexander into contributing a complete set of dragon scale armor, Alexander is still willing to give Li En one or two dragon scales.

Li En already possessed the ability of a super craftsman, so he made a pair of gloves for himself.

We’ll talk about other places later.

The first time I used this pair of gloves, the effect was surprisingly good.

Even a full-strength blow from a heavy knight couldn't harm the fingers in the gloves.

"how is this possible?"

Baleim couldn't believe it.

The Cavaliers also showed shocked expressions.

They were all Baleem's subordinates, and they all knew that although Baleem was not very smart, he was absolutely strong.

No one could withstand Baleem's blow with their physical body.

What's more, it's just two fingers.

This scene completely overturned their three views.

Although the wise men saw this, they disdain to show off their wisdom in front of others.

Ophelia, the secretary, and the witches all broke out in cold sweats.

Snapped--

Li En kicked out, kicking Balem, who was still in shock, directly away and hitting the clock tower in the distance.

With a loud bang, the bell tower collapsed, burying Baleim alive again.

Li En twisted his neck and looked at the other members of the Cavaliers.
"If you want a sneak attack, do it now. My sword can't leave his neck. This is a good opportunity for you to strike."

The members of the Knights felt an invisible sense of oppression, a feeling they had only experienced from great figures like Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall.

But it is their duty to protect the safety of the wise man, and they cannot just watch Li En threaten the wise man.

The leading five-star knight gritted his teeth and roared, "Form a formation and attack."

The knights' formations are mostly used on the battlefield and rarely used against a high-ranking knight.

However, the bonus of the formation can ignore the shortcomings of individuals, and can be regarded as an attack method that is beneficial to the group.

Li En held the young wise man's neck with Enzo while fighting with five knights.

Sophie and Ellie really wanted to join the battle, but their magic power was completely restricted, and their physical condition was no different from that of ordinary people. They could only watch helplessly.

Cameron also gritted his teeth nervously, "Should I help now? Ellie, should I go up?"

Ellie looked back at Cameron and nodded heavily.

Cameron plucked up his courage and took out the doll.

Then she put the doll back awkwardly because the battle was over.

The wailing knights were lying in disorder on the ground.

A faint trace of blood also appeared on the young wise man's neck.

"I'm sorry, I was busy fighting just now. I hope I didn't hurt you?"

Li En asked casually.

The veins on the wise man's forehead bulged. "Simon Moriah, just wait for your appearance in the Supreme Court. How dare you hurt the wise man?"

"Ophelia, do you want to continue watching the show?"

The old wise man Giovanni turned around and looked at Ophelia, the director of the Guardian Bureau.

"Of course, our Guardian Bureau will not sit idly by. Captain Witch, please step forward."

The secretary exercises authority on behalf of Ophelia.

She did it for the entire Guardian Bureau, so Ophelia wouldn't blame her.

A witch captain stepped forward, but she looked hesitant.

"Stop Simon Moriah."

"Yes."

Witch Captain Fula stepped forward, but Cameron suddenly blocked her way.

"Fula, don't do this."

"Cameron, come back."

Ophelia cried.

Cameron, who was always obedient and a little afraid of death, shook his head and said, "Commander, I'm sorry, but I can't just watch my companions being taken away. We are not experimental subjects, we are human beings."

"If our lifespan depends on the sacrifice of our companions, then I would rather never grow up. I would rather stay 15 forever!"

Cameron cried out loudly.

These words shocked all the witches.

Do they realize how cold-hearted and selfish they were before, sending their companions to death just for the hope of survival?
Fulla looked at Cameron's tears, drew her sword, and said unhappily, "Coward, I thought you would always hide behind others, but I didn't expect you to stand in front of me."

Cameron was stunned. She knew that Fulla's strength was far superior to hers, and Fulla had a bad temper and hated anyone blocking her way the most.

Maybe she would cut me into pieces.

But the next second, Fulla dropped the sword in her hand, turned to Ophelia and said,

"Fula is willing to resign from the position of Witch Captain. Fula's sword will not harm her companions. Fula's sword is a sword of protection."

Fulla has a high prestige among the witches, and she is also the witch who has always stayed with Ophelia.

She is 19 years old and she is worried that she won't make it to 20. But she is even more worried that because she is afraid of not making it to 20, she will erase the 19 years before that.

Witches have been instilled with the ideas of justice and protection since childhood, and they should be the most upright people.

But when they were faced with the choice just now, they chose to compromise with the darkness.

Fulla felt ashamed of herself just now.

"Fula, do you know what you are doing?"

Ophelia looked at the witch who had grown up by her side like a daughter.

In fact, like Fulla and Cameron, they had long unknowingly come to respect and love Ophelia as their mother.

Ophelia is not a piece of wood, how could she not know their feelings for her.

So she is very angry now, not only at Fulla who wants to leave the Guardian Bureau, but also at herself.

“I know I don’t have long to live, but I’m not afraid of death. I’m afraid of myself becoming ugly because of the fear of death.”

Fulla said seriously.

"Fula, witches cannot leave the Guardian Bureau unless you serve in the Vatican or are sent to the guillotine."

The secretary reminded.

"Yeah. I know. But I can't be more of a coward than a coward."

Fulla looked at Cameron, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying. She took off her cloak, folded it carefully, and handed it to Ophelia along with the medal on her chest.

"Director Mom, I hope I can make you proud. Even if I die, I will still be the justice-filled and sunny Fulla."

Ophelia was unwilling to accept Fulla's resignation. The word "Mom" made her heartbroken.

Even though they were not related by blood, she still had the illusion of being separated from her flesh and blood.

Ophelia admitted that she couldn't be kind to all the witches, but she had done her best to protect them.

"Fula, I command you to put on your medal, pick up your sword, and put on your cloak. You will still be the witch captain of the Guardian Bureau. You will be my glory and the glory of the empire."

"I'm sorry to have been under your protection for so many years. I'm sorry to disappoint you this time."

Fulla bowed deeply to Ophelia.

Although Ophelia was very angry, she could only choose to ignore her.

Fulla didn't know what her action meant. The Wise Men saw it all. They would evaluate the witch's behavior, and those who were considered heretics like Miriam would be sent to the guillotine or directly sent back to the laboratory.

In order to prevent more people from following Fulla's example, Ophelia drew her sword and pointed it at Li En.
"Simon Moriah, don't force me to become your enemy."

"It's an honor to be your enemy."

Li En said modestly, "But I must tell you that you're always frowning, which makes people feel boring. You look very beautiful when you smile. You should smile more often."

You look beautiful when you smile, you should smile more often.

Ophelia was very familiar with this sentence.

It once appeared in my dreams and appeared in my memories countless times.

Wasn't that a dream at all?
Or is it a man-made dream? !
At this moment, Ophelia was extremely angry. She no longer cared and swung her sword at Li En.

Li En still had no intention of letting go of the young wise man and pulled him over to use as a shield.

Ophelia was therefore timid, but she also fully expressed her attitude.

The Wise Men will not blame the Guardian Bureau for this, but they will take away the witches who are leading the trouble, such as Fulla who wants to resign.

Obedience is a mark engraved in the witch's mind. Once this mark is removed, even if Fulla has feelings for Ophelia and humans, there is no guarantee that she will not become the next Miriam.

"Let go of the wise one."

Ophelia didn't really want to kill Li En, so she didn't use much force. In addition, the wise man was blocking her way, so she quickly put away her sword and acted as if she had no way to deal with Li En.

She was indeed angry just now, but after swinging a few swords, she caught a glimpse of the expressions on the witches' faces out of the corner of her eye.

They are afraid.

The witches who had never feared anything were now afraid.

It's not the fear of monsters or death, but the fear of important people getting hurt.

Both herself and Li En who fought for them were important people to them.

Ophelia also figured out why Li En wanted to provoke her, it was just to absolve herself of responsibility.

Now she could only vent her nameless anger on Grand Duke Moria. If he had not been unable to arrive in time, how could the situation have developed like this.

Under the secretary's command, the witches surrounded Li En, Sophie, Ellie, and the hostage in Li En's hand, the young wise man with a wounded neck.

"You can't escape, even if you kill the wise man. Facing so many witches, unless the angel protects you again."

The secretary exclaimed.

How could Li En not have thought of summoning an angel?

But he also knew the drawbacks of doing so.

If everything summoned angels, he would become a thorn in the side of the Pope, the Emperor, and the old immortals hiding behind the scenes.

Because his power was above that of the Pope and the Emperor.

It was understandable that they summoned angels to deal with undead monsters before, but now they summon angels to deal with witches and wise men?
He has not yet dealt with his enemy Randall, and does not want to list the Auglas and Frank families as hostile forces.

Of course, if it's for Sophie, it's all worth it.

There was anticipation in the eyes of the wise men, they also wanted to see with their own eyes how Li En summoned the angels.

Including the young wise man, he has already asked the witches to attack Li En at the risk of his life.

"It seems like you are really not afraid of death."

Li En hit the young wise man with his hand knife, and he instantly lost consciousness and fell limply to the ground.

Li En squatted down, took the key from his body, and uncuffed Sophie and Ellie.

As the handcuffs fell to the ground, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.

Sophie pulled the collar of her fox fur coat and exhaled a puff of white air.

She turned around and looked at the witches with indifference.

"If you don't want to die, retreat."

The witches were stunned. They didn't expect Senior Sophie to say such a thing.

She had just sacrificed herself for all the witches and left with the Wise Men.

But now it is as cold as a piece of ice that has been frozen for thousands of years.

"Just as we thought, a witch who has broken through her limits will also break through the effect of enlightenment to a certain extent."

The old wise man Giovanni spoke, and the other wise men wrote down what he said with their pens.

"Ophelia, now try to force Sophie and Ellie to kill Simon Moriah. This is a key part of the experiment."

Giovanni said.

Ophelia frowned slightly, she was unwilling to do this.

"If you don't, I will report the truth and have the Emperor replace the Director of the Guardian Bureau. You are no longer worthy of holding the Empire's scepter."

Giovanni said in a calm tone.

Ophelia frowned and said in a deep voice,
"Sophie, Ellie, follow orders and trap Simon Moriah."

Ellie and Sophie's eyes instantly lost their luster and became cloudy.

A voice sounded in her ears, repeating what Ophelia had just said.

"Obey orders, obey orders..."

　Chapters 247 and 248 have undergone major changes, which are almost equivalent to rewriting them. You can go back and take a look. Don’t complain that the plot doesn’t match.
