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

Chapter 292: Offending That Adult

The cold wind brought snowflakes into the warm tavern and sprinkled them on the barbecue and fruit wine. Many people coughed because of the sudden cold air.

The tall bartender folded his arms and looked at the newcomer with dissatisfaction.

The short boss squeezed out of the crowd, looking at the gate that was broken by the knights with heartache, rubbing his hands and forcing a flattering smile.

"Gentlemen, who are you looking for?"

The White Bear Knight who was closest to the boss pressed the bounty order directly on the boss's face and pointed at Sophie.
"Stop wasting time and just look for her. Someone, arrest her for me."

The knights rushed forward to arrest Sophie.

"Ms. Sophie? Wait, there must be some misunderstanding. I'm John, the new member of the expedition team."

The one-eyed man stepped forward and wanted to say a few good words for Sophie, but he was pinned to the ground by seven or eight White Bear Knights. His heavy body made close contact with the floor, making a friction sound.

"Don't move, you ignorant fellow. You have offended our guards. Don't even think about exploring the rift."

"Anyone who is hindering our efforts to apprehend the fugitive will be arrested."

The leading knight captain said.

The tavern suddenly became chaotic, and the guests dispersed, leaving only a mess of cups and plates.

"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."

The boss said in a trembling voice, "We are all law-abiding citizens."

"What do you mean by law-abiding citizen? She's clearly a spy sent by the Holy Empire. Your store is harboring a spy. Do you really want to quit operating?"

The knight captain roared at the top of his voice.

The tall bartender was so scared that his legs went weak and he hid behind the short boss.

The short boss put away his smile, stopped in front of Sophie and Li En, and mouthed to them, "Go."

Then he turned and said to the knight captain,

"The Rat Tavern would never collaborate with the enemy. Miss Sophie is my guest. Please give me some courtesy and don't embarrass her. She saved 35 townspeople from the avalanche not long ago. She's definitely not a spy."

Snapped--

Before he could finish his words, his whole body was knocked away by a heavy punch.

Boom——

His body slammed into the wall, creating a hole in the already weak wall of the tavern.

His entire face was smashed in, he lost consciousness, and his body fell crookedly to the ground, covered by fallen rocks and snow.

"Humph, rat, you want face too? Take her away from me."

The knight captain pointed at Sophie, his fleshy face trembling with excitement.

The knights discovered that there were still people who were not afraid of death standing in front of Sophie.

This person was none other than Li En, a man with blond hair and a stubbled face.

"This guy looks okay, and he has blond hair. Could he be from the Moria family?"

A knight said with some fear.

"How could a big shot from the Moria family show up in White Bear Town? You idiot! This must be an imitation! Didn't those magicians invent hair dye? Who can't have beautiful blonde hair these days? To conclude that someone is a big shot just because they have blonde hair is simply a joke."

Another knight, who thought he was quite knowledgeable, mocked his companions and was the first to draw his iron sword at Li En.

"Get out of the way, you coward! Don't let your blood stain my sword."

"Brother Li En, don't be impulsive. They are the guards."

John, who was pinned to the ground, reminded them, "You are no match for them."

John believed that he should be able to defeat these guards. He was a four-star knight, but he had just obtained the status of an expedition member and did not want to ruin his future.

"Living in White Bear Town, you can offend anyone but not the guards."

The bartender said solemnly.

"Since you're a guard, shouldn't you at least abide by basic laws?"

Li En rubbed his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing just after waking up.

Based on his understanding of Sophie, Sophie would never take the initiative to cause trouble, nor would she be put on the wanted list easily.

Of course, the empire is now fully hunting down Ophelia and the witches under her command, and Sophie might be implicated as well.

But if these white bear guards knew that Sophie was a witch, their attitude would not be as arrogant as it is now.

Li En guessed that during this period, Sophie kept a low profile in order to take care of herself and did not reveal her identity as a witch.

"Of course, we are the most law-abiding people."

The leading knight captain said.

"Then why did you forge a wanted warrant?"

Lee En asked.

"What nonsense are you talking about, stranger?"

The knight captain narrowed his eyes, and the scar on his face looked a little hideous.

"This is the Northern Territory. According to the Moriah family's style, all wanted posters are stamped with a unique bear shield logo, indicating that they are wanted posters issued by the Northern Territory. If the wanted poster you received is not from the Northern Territory, but from the Holy Empire, then given the current relationship between the Northern Territory and the Empire, you should be the ones who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country."

Li En said in a calm tone.

John and the big bartender were both stunned. They didn't expect that Miss Sophie's friend knew so much.

The knights looked at each other, and finally at their leader.

The captain swung the whip in his hand and hit the white bear, which let out a deep roar.

"Ignore this guy, grab that woman, and crush anyone who dares to stand in my way into a pulp!"

The knights riding bears rushed towards Li En again. These people were at least three-star knights, and each of them was muscular and strong.

A crowd of onlookers had gathered outside the pub. They were observing a moment of silence for Sophie and Li En, and discussing what had happened inside the pub.

"How did Miss Sophie offend the guards?"

"It's not that I offended the guards, it's that I offended Lord Hewen Field."

"Ah? How could I have offended that gentleman? Miss Sophie has always been very low-key."

"It's all bad luck. A week ago, Lord Hewen Field came to White Bear Town to hunt and happened to meet Miss Sophie. Lord Hewen Field fell in love with Miss Sophie at first sight and wanted to take Miss Sophie home to be his tenth wife. Miss Sophie ignored him, so Lord Hewen Field tried to snatch Miss Sophie back, but was beaten by Miss Sophie. He must have a grudge against her, so he came here."

"So that's how it is. If you offend Lord Hewen Field, you'll have a hard time."

"Yes, Lord Hewen Field is actually..."

The voices of people talking became quieter and quieter, but the wind and snow became stronger and stronger. They pulled at their fur coats and cloth armor. Many people chose to go home quickly to avoid the temperature drop. There were only a few strong men on the street who wanted to witness the end of Sophie and Li En.

The three-story Rat Tavern was reduced to ruins in an instant, and the bartender and John dragged the seriously injured owner out.

Their faces were filled with shock.

"What's going on? Why is the tavern destroyed?"

The onlookers asked.

"That...that man."

John stammered, unable to articulate a clear answer, which only intensified the townspeople's curiosity. Amidst billowing smoke and dust, Lee En emerged, dragging the knight captain with him. Beside him stood a strikingly beautiful girl with short silver hair.

The captain who was full of vigor and energy just now was now beaten beyond recognition. He even lost two front teeth and his mouth was full of blood.

No one expected this to happen.

The man in front of me looked so thin and was said to have been paralyzed in bed for several months, but he actually had such fighting power.

More than twenty knights from the guard team did not last even a minute in his hands.

Even those ferocious polar bears were knocked down by him with his bare hands.

"You...you...you shouldn't do this to me. You will be killed by Lord Hewen Field in the most cruel way."

The Knight Captain made a hoarse sound.

Li En twisted his neck and stretched his muscles, which made him feel relaxed all over.

Although his knight attributes were frozen, his physical strength and reaction speed were not weakened.

【当前体质1199、剑术938、暗杀技巧1337、速度1943、力量1165、魅力358、魔力180、魔法抗性60，暗影加成80%】

With a physique of 1199 and a strength of 1165, let alone dozens of three-star knights, even if a seven-star knight stood in front of him, he would still be beaten by him without using the power of rules.

"Oh, Hewen Field, huh? I remember his name. Please go back and call him over. I'll talk to him properly."

Li En threw the knight captain to the ground. The other knights immediately stepped forward and helped their leader up. They did not dare to care about their unconscious mounts and turned around to flee, fearing that they would be caught by Li En if they ran too slowly.

As soon as the guards left, the streets soon became lively again.

The townspeople who had been hiding in their homes came out one after another and asked about the situation here.

"Oh my god, Li En, you are so good at fighting. How did you do it?"

John couldn't believe it. He hadn't seen Li En's movements clearly. "Wait, are you a magician?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know magic."

Li En's tone was calm.

"What should we do now?"

Sophie asked.

"Let's wait. Maybe the person just now will give us a surprise."

Lee En blinked.

"What surprise? You have offended Lord Hewen Field this time. You'd better run away."

The bartender said seriously, "Or you can join the expedition team. With your skills, you can definitely get in. If you join the expedition team, at least you won't be found by Lord Hewen Field so quickly."

"That's right, come with me to the expedition."

John said excitedly.

The townspeople also persuaded the two to leave.

"We can't leave here now."

According to Li En's understanding of the villain, if he and Sophie left White Bear Town, the entire White Bear Town might be destroyed. On the contrary, if they stayed here and waited for the villain to appear in person, there would still be a chance to change the fate of White Bear Town.

"Who is Hewen Field? Can anyone tell me about it?"

Lee En asked.

Everyone's eyes flickered, obviously knowing something but not daring to say it out loud.

Li En could only ask John. John leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Lord Hewen Field is the illegitimate son of Lord Moria. White Bear Town, Black Bear Town, and Yellow Bear Town are all under his jurisdiction."

Illegitimate child? He's a relative.

Li En's mouth twitched. He should have thought of it earlier. The Moria family was so romantic that it was impossible for all of their descendants to be elite. There would always be a few playboys.

It turns out that these playboys are hiding in the northern border.

"How much can we sell these bear skins for?"

Li En asked again.

"This...this won't do. These are precious white bears. Only the military is allowed to use them. How can we just skin them and sell them?"

John waved his hand, indicating that Li En's idea was terrible.

"Then help me chain him up and sell him to the slave market where goods are transported."

Li En had already guessed that Sophie had no money, and he was also penniless now, so he had to find a way to get some money and stay in a hotel.

"No, no. No slave market would dare to accept White Bears. You can only send them back."

John said.

The townspeople agreed with this and persuaded Li En to release these precious white bears.

Until Li En used a knife to cut open the neck of one of the bears, revealing the brown fur.

"This...this isn't the real Baidi Bear!"

"This is a fake, it's a brown bear!"

"No wonder these bears are so much smaller."

The onlookers were talking about it. They admired Li En's boldness, but were also surprised that this was not a real White Bear.
The white bear is actually a branch of the snow bear and is a very rare species. Li En had seen real snow bears before, so when he saw this group of bears, he always felt a sense of incongruity.

Facts have proved that the guards in such a small town are not worthy of owning a high-level mount like the White Bear. Everything they do is just a show of force.

"Anyone want to have a brown bear party?"

Lee En asked.

The townspeople immediately cheered.

People in White Bear Town love to eat meat, they can't live without meat.

So everyone took out knives from their homes and started dissecting the bears.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but people felt that the snow started to fall less, especially when the bear meat was put into the pot, the snowflakes seemed to stop.

A raging fire was burning in the town square, and the flames illuminated the red faces of the people sitting around.

The air was filled with the aroma of bear meat, which came from the huge iron pot. The copper lid was lifted, revealing the meat rolling inside, glistening with oil and steaming.

The blacksmith kept stirring the meat with a long-handled iron spoon to prevent it from sticking together. His brows were furrowed, and he was obviously carefully controlling the heat.

The surrounding area was bustling with townspeople, the men in coarse linen robes and the women in colorful aprons, their faces filled with festive joy.

Children shuttled among the crowd, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and desire for the upcoming delicious food.

The strong men were using knives and axes to cut the bear meat, revealing the tender meat inside.

The long table on the side was filled with various kinds of bread, cheese and jam, as well as wine brewed by the peasant women, which swayed in the coarse porcelain cups.

The old mayor smiled and raised a bowl of broth, and came to Li En and Sophie.
"Welcome our guests from afar, thank you for the delicious food you have given us. From now on, you may all live here."

"Mayor, they have offended that gentleman."

John reminded quietly.
