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

Chapter 293 The King of the North's Heir

The old mayor with wrinkles on his face laughed when he heard what John said.

"I've had a little too much to drink. We welcome our guests from afar once again. We hope you enjoy your stay here. We will see you off when you leave, so don't be polite to us."

Li En didn't care too much. He didn't plan to stay in White Bear Town for long.

Since a certain "big shot" is Moria's illegitimate son, Li En plans to let this "big shot" take him back to the family first and find his grandfather, Grand Duke Moria. Maybe he can find a way to solve the problems he is facing now. Even if he can't solve them, he can definitely answer many questions in his heart.

For example, where did the gifts go? Where did the dragon go after it lost its control? What is the current situation of the witches?

Sophie could not answer these questions for him and could only wait for him to explore them on his own.

If Li En wants to get back everything he has lost, recognizing Grand Duke Moria is crucial.

Moreover, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to

Li En has been a rising star in the empire for so long, but now he has fallen to the point where he has to rely on Sophie to do odd jobs to take care of his daily life, which makes him feel embarrassed.

He heard from the townspeople that during his coma, Sophie made a living by helping the hunters in the town hunt in exchange for supplies.

Once when hunting a black bear, the black bear rushed down from the mountain and rushed into the Rat Tavern, almost trampling more than 30 people in the tavern to death. It was Sophie who saved the situation.

That's why everyone is so enthusiastic about Sophie. Many guys in White Bear Town have a crush on her and want to recognize her as their boss.

Many people in the adventure group wanted to invite Sophie to join, but Sophie refused.

Everyone thought that Sophie couldn't go anywhere because of Li En's illness.

It was not until Li En became famous in one battle, killed the group of bears guarding the army, and treated everyone to a bear banquet that the people in the town realized that the man Sophie was with was not just a burden, but also a strong man.

The people in White Bear Town are simple and honest. After Li En drank a few glasses of wine with them, they became friends.

The men here are generally tall and hairy, and even the women are quite strong.

Someone as thin as Sophie looks a bit out of place.

After eating and drinking, everyone danced around the campfire.

Sophie stood in the snow gently wrapped in the night, her short silver hair fluttering gently in the breeze. Snowflakes were like countless crystal clear diamonds, dotted on the ends of her hair, reflecting the flickering fire behind her, creating a quiet yet vivid picture.

Her eyes were deep and bright, like the brightest stars in the winter night.

In the light of the fire, Sophie's face looked particularly gentle, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

She was wearing a white coat, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, like a blooming white lotus, blending into the surrounding snowy scenery.

Li En took Sophie's hand and spun around in the snow.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped being so anxious to get everything back.

Because the life I have always wanted is right in front of me.

If she could always stay by his side, Li En would be willing to live in a small town and be an unknown hunter.

Perhaps this is the life Sophie has always wanted. No one knows that she is a witch, so no one depends on her, and no one is afraid of her.

Now she is just like any other girl in White Bear Town. She can dance by the bonfire, drink beer, and wear some strange accessories.

Although she had no wreath on her head, she looked more lively and beautiful than before.

She is smiling at this moment, like a blooming, gorgeous crabapple flower.

Everything seemed to fade away in her smile.

Li En really wanted to protect this smile.

It was as if Sophie was always by his side.

"Sophie, let's stay here forever, okay?"

Li En suddenly asked.

Sophie was slightly stunned.

"No, you can't stay here."

The old mayor was really drunk this time. He ignored the townspeople's dissuasion and shouted at Li En and Sophie,
"Leave quickly. White Bear Town cannot be destroyed by that adult because of you. Run away, run away quickly."

Li En's forehead was covered with sweat. Couldn't he give the instructions at another time?
"Don't mind, the mayor is drunk."

John covered the mayor's mouth, fearing that he would continue to say something and offend Li En and Sophie.

Both of these are incredibly strong.

"You guys go on, you guys go on, ignore the mayor."

The other townspeople said.

Li En once again gathered his emotions, "Sophie, we will always..."

"Surround everyone!"

A strange and cold voice cut through the tranquility of the small town, like a sword piercing the silence of the night sky.

The knights were like ghosts in the dark night, accompanied by roaring brown bears. They came on the snow, and their iron armor made crisp sounds in the cold wind.

Hewen Field, the blond dandy, commanded the team with unquestionable authority, and his eyes revealed an irresistible command.

Captain Baird followed closely behind, his hoarse voice echoing in the wind and snow, and every word he spoke was like a hammer hitting the hearts of the townspeople, making them shudder.

The townspeople's heartbeats quickened, the carnival music came to an abrupt halt, and the air was filled with tension and fear.

The men stepped forward and used their strong bodies to build a human wall, trying to protect their homes from being invaded.

The women immediately picked up the children and hurriedly took them back home. They slammed the door shut and peeked through the cracks in the windows to see what was happening outside.

The stew pot in the snow still smelled of meat, and the mellow beer slowly flowed out of the barrel on the ground.

Baird led his knights closer and glanced at the nervous townspeople with disdain, as if he were an elephant looking at a group of ants.

When he saw the brown bear fur on the ground, veins popped up on his face, and he swung the long braid in his hand, knocking the two townspeople closest to him to the ground.

"How dare you eat my bear!"

"Catch them all!"

The knights shouted loudly, and the sound echoed throughout the entire White Bear Town, shaking the snow off the houses.

Hewen Field ignored the indignation of his subordinates and rode a 6-meter-tall, black and white zebra bear towards Sophie.

Li En narrowed his eyes and looked at this relative. He had blond hair, blue eyes, slightly high cheekbones, and his eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like Parker. He should be around 25 years old.

"Ms. Sophie, Brother Li En, run away."

John shouted.

Then, as expected, he was pinned to the ground by a group of knights.

"It's over. Miss Sophie and Mr. Li En will definitely be captured."

"They have offended Lord Hewen Field and may be imprisoned and tortured."

People were talking in low voices, their eyes filled with fear.

Hewen Field walked up to Sophie, rolled off the bear's back, and with a plop, he knelt on half of his knees in the snow. His movements were so smooth and fluent that it was astonishing.

No one expected that he would suddenly kneel down.

Almost everyone has a question mark on their head.

Hewen Field said seriously, "Miss Sophie, please come back with me. You are wasting your talent in White Bear Town. I can appoint you as my first female knight. Please fight on my behalf no matter what."

"What...what's going on?" "Why is Lord Hewen Field kneeling down?"

"Is Lord Hewen Field proposing?"

"It doesn't look like it. What is he talking about?"

For a moment, people were talking about it.

Li En looked at his golden-haired relative in surprise, who might be a brother or an uncle or nephew.

This seems to be different from what was rumored.

He didn't seem to be coveting Sophie's beauty, but rather her abilities.

"Cough cough."

Baird coughed and shouted, "Get out of here, everyone! Do you really want to be arrested?"

When the townspeople heard what Captain Baird said, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only the Knights, Li En and Sophie in the snow.

"Why don't you leave?"

Hewen Field turned his head and looked at Li En.

I feel like this guy standing here is really in the way. I'm kneeling, but he's standing. It's really an eyesore.

"Why should I leave?"

Lee En asked.

Hewen Field narrowed his eyes, stood up, and patted the snow on his knees. "Golden hair, are you also from the Moria family?"

"Well, like you, he's a bastard."

Li En spoke frankly.

The onlookers all chose to keep their mouths shut. They even wanted to cover their ears and pretend that they heard nothing.

Hewen Field frowned, "Are you here to compete for the position of heir as well?"

"What heir position?"

Li En asked in confusion.

Hewen Field did not doubt Li En's identity. Looking at his appearance, which was somewhat similar to his own, he was sure that Li En was not lying.

First of all, there are too many illegitimate children in the Moria family.

Secondly, no one in the North dared to pretend to be the illegitimate son of the Moria family.

"So you don't know anything."

Hewen Field suddenly felt a sense of superiority as the eldest brother. He sneered and said,

"Our King of the North, the great King Alex, recently announced that he would re-elect his successor. Anyone of the Moria family's bloodline can participate in the competition. Victory will secure the position of heir and become the next King of the North. Even if failure is achieved, a good ranking will grant access to new territories."

Hewen Field said excitedly, "I want to join this competition too."

"Is this why you wanted Sophie's help?"

Lee En asked.

"Yes, Miss Sophie is the strongest female warrior I have ever seen. If she helps me, I will definitely get good results."

Hewen Field is outspoken.

"So you don't covet Sophie's beauty?"

"What? Beauty? Are you kidding? I only like those who are taller than me."

Hewen Field glanced at Li En suspiciously.
"You don't think Miss Sophie is beautiful, do you?"

Almost all the knights and those who were watching Heven Field through the cracks in the window looked at him with suspicion.

They thought there was something wrong with Heven Field's mind.

I actually think Miss Sophie is not pretty.

After confirming that there were problems with his relative's aesthetic taste, Li En nodded with satisfaction.

"Hewen Field, I want to see my grandfather. Can you take me there?"

Hearing what Li En said, Hewen Field suddenly burst into laughter.

"I've been in the North for over twenty years, and I haven't even seen him. Besides, can you call him grandpa? We are all illegitimate children, and we are not qualified to call the King of the North grandpa. If you want to see King Alex, you must compete like me. Only if you win will you be qualified to see him, otherwise."

Hewen Field pointed to the mountains in the distance. On the top of the misty mountain stood a towering castle.

"You have no choice but to climb up to the Sky Realm. No one can reach that canyon, not even a witch."

"That sounds difficult."

Li En nodded slightly.

"Of course, it's very difficult. The fog at the foot of the mountain is enough to get you lost, so just be honest and join the competition like me. I'll try to give you some leeway."

Hewen Field said politely.

Perhaps it was out of mutual sympathy for the illegitimate child.

"That's not necessary, I can help you."

Li En is not very interested in being the heir to the North. He just wants to meet Grand Duke Moria and find out what happened.

"you help me?"

Hewen Field looked at Li En suspiciously.

Li En nodded, "Sophie and I will help you together."

"Then it's a deal, bro."

Hewen Field reached out and shook Li En's hand excitedly.

"My name is Li En."

"My name is Hewen Field Moriah, you can call me Hewen."

Hewen Field felt very sympathetic towards Li En because he only had a first name and not even a last name, which meant that his status was even lower than his own.

"Why don't you take my last name, Field? My mother, Field, is an incredible gourmet. She can make the most delicious dishes in the world. My father fell madly in love with her because of her cooking skills. But he was already engaged at that time. Oh, to be more precise, his wife was already pregnant. My mother..."

As Hewen Field chattered on, Li En seemed to see Diane's shadow.

He now suspected that Hewen Field was Diane's half-brother.

Hewen Field invited Li En and Sophie to sit in the luxurious carriage pulled by a brown bear, and a strong maid served them hot coffee.

The carriage quickly left White Bear Town and headed towards Bear City.

"I'd love to invite you to taste my mother's cooking, but unfortunately she passed away 10 years ago. When she was alive, she always loved describing her passionate love story with my father over and over again. She was my father's favorite mistress, bar none."

"Alright, I have no interest in your background. Tell me the rules of the family competition."

Li En interrupted Hewen Field, feeling that if he continued listening, his brain would be eaten by zombies.

Hewen Field put away his cynical expression and his tone suddenly became serious.

"The rules are simple. Team up and go to the rift."
