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

Chapter 295: Rift Gathering
A health value of 500 is the baseline. If it exceeds 500, it means that the person's strength is equal to or even exceeds that of a four-star knight, which is the same as the selection mark for the Rift Expedition Team.

Although Hewen Field has gathered so many adventurers, he cannot accept all of them. He must select the best from the best to ensure his final victory and reduce casualties.

The magic crystal lamp hanging high in the hall cast a cold white halo on the stone brick floor. The metal surface of the bronze detection instrument glowed with a faint blue light, and the patterns of gears and runes slowly flowed on it.

Hewen Field stood in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back. The silver embroidery on his gorgeous robe was faintly visible in the light, like a school of fish swimming in a dark river. He looked at everyone with a smile and anticipation.

"I come."

The voice of a strong man from the Fierce Dragon Adventure Group was like a thunderous explosion.

As he knocked aside several adventurers who were blocking his way, the muscles under his leather armor bulged and the sound of his boot heels hitting the ground was brutal.

"Sir, let me try first."

He slapped his palm, which was as heavy as a palm leaf fan, on the testing table, and the metal base creaked under the heavy weight.

As everyone held their breath, the instrument pointer crossed the scarlet 500 scale line and finally stopped tremblingly at the 505 position.

“Not even a hair is pressed!”

The onlookers burst into laughter, but were silenced by his copper-bell-like eyes.

The burly man proudly tossed his spiky hair and rapped his knuckles on the countertop. "That's easy. Who's coming?"

Immediately, the adventurers rushed to get tested.

"I'll come, I'll come."

"Let me test it first."

"Hey, I'm definitely better than that guy."

The atmosphere was lively, and the adventurers who had been hesitant about the test now relaxed and prepared to test their own level.

Hewen Field watched very seriously from the side, while the maid Lolita was in charge of registration and screening out those who were unqualified.

Those whose health points are below 500 can only take a sum of money and regretfully exit the action.

As Noah, leader of the Black Rose, walked towards the instrument, the silver chain waist ornament jingled with his steps.

Her bright red nails lightly touched the table, and the pointer instantly rushed towards the 600 mark like a wild horse, and three golden rings burst out of the obsidian-inlaid instrument panel.

"The captain's hem is enough to crush the monster!"

The members in the rear shouted until their voices broke, and someone threw a leather water bag into the air, and the deep red liquid splashed like a blood rain.

When Noah turned around, the ends of her hair brushed against the crystal screen of the instrument, reflecting the fleeting purple light in her eyes.

"Captain Noah is the best!"

"Too strong, 600 health points!"

"I'm so envious! I wish I could be as strong as the leader."

Cheers rang out and everyone was cheering for her.

Noah waved his hand and said with a suppressed smile,

"It's just a test, there's no need to take it so seriously."

"Humph."

The leader of the Poisonous Insect Adventure Team snorted coldly, walked to the side of the testing instrument, and stretched out his arm covered with insect-shaped totems. His test value was 10 points higher than Noah's, at 610.

The leader of the Fierce Dragon Adventure Group saw that the other two leaders had taken the test, so he stopped hiding and showed his health value, 650.

“It’s over 600.”

"It's incredible."

"Long live the commander, long live the commander."

The members of the Fierce Dragon Adventure Group cheered, and the people from other adventure teams were also very excited.

The stronger the teammates, the higher the safety factor of the exploration team.

"Can I not take the test?"

Inna didn't want to participate in the exploration, and the best outcome was to take some money and leave.

But Noah mistook her for being shy and patted her shoulder with a smile, "Inna, don't worry, you will be fine. Have confidence in yourself."

"Um...no, me."

Before Inna could finish her words, she was pushed up by Noah, and her little hand was pressed on the detector.

The detector spun wildly and finally stopped at 800.

Inna, who had been trying to hide her clumsiness, blushed and silently withdrew her hand.

The hall fell silent in an instant.

The adventurers suspected they had seen it wrong.

Even Noah showed an expression of disbelief.

Li En was quite satisfied with the growth of his succubus sister and nodded slightly.

"Is this...is the machine broken?"

Many adventurers who failed the test raised questions. They just couldn't believe that they would lose to a little kid.

"Yes, Lord Hewen Field, is this test accurate?"

Facing everyone's questions, Hewen Field coughed twice and said seriously,

“One hundred percent accurate.”

"Inna, you're so strong."

Noah put his hands on Inna's shoulders and shook her.

The corners of Inna's mouth twitched, and she forced out an awkward but polite smile.

"Nancy, go and try it too. Let me see if you have hidden your strength as well."

Noah was very excited at this time because Inna and Nancy were both members of her Black Rose Adventure Group.

Their strength undoubtedly increases the overall strength of the team, and the probability of the team surviving in the cracks is also increased.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Nancy reluctantly walked to the testing instrument and put her hand on it.

The value finally stopped at 801.

Nancy breathed a sigh of relief.

Inna curled her lips, feeling upset because she lost to Nancy by 1 point.

The members of the Black Rose Adventure Group were excited and shouted Nancy's name loudly.

Hewen Field touched his chin and said to Li En,

"Look, this blue-haired lady not only possesses unique charm, but is also very powerful. No wonder Captain Noah likes her so much. Your hope is even slimmer now."

"What hope?"

Li En asked doubtfully.

"The hope of pursuing her. I just saw it. The way you look at her is the same as the way I look at Lolita."

Hewen Field leaned close to Li En's ear and whispered.

Li En pushed his face aside and said, "You misunderstood. I didn't."

Sophie tilted her head and looked at the two people who were whispering.

"It's a misunderstanding."

Li En explained to Sophie. Sophie nodded, although she didn't know what the misunderstanding Li En was talking about was.

For Sophie's sake, Li En decided to keep a distance from Nancy Stuart along the way. Since she didn't remember him, he would pretend not to know her for the time being.

"Lord Hewen Field, did you say before that everyone must be tested?"

Someone suddenly asked in the crowd.

Hewen Field nodded. "Yes, that's what I said. Any questions?"

"Then should these two newcomers around you also be tested?"

The eliminated adventurer said unwillingly.

They hope to have more people to take the blame.

Li En looks very weak, maybe just like Hewen Field, only 200, or even lower.

Hewen Field looked at Li En, and thinking of how Li En had once single-handedly taken out his entire Bear Knight Order, he immediately nodded, "Of course we have to do a test. Come on, brother, let everyone see your strength."

"Oh."

Li En did not refuse. He also wanted to know whether the values ​​of his system were consistent with those of the detector.

Li En placed his hand on the instrument platform and felt a prick in his finger. Then a weak electric current spread through his palm and spread throughout his body. The dial of the detector began to rotate.

The value finally stopped at 1199.

All the adventurers in the hall were stunned.

They didn't expect Li En to be so strong, exceeding 1000!

This is equivalent to the Seven Star Knight, right?

Li En withdrew his hand and confirmed that his health was equivalent to his physical fitness.

"Are you the Seven Star Glory Knight?"

The leader of the Fierce Dragon Adventure Group looked at Li En with admiration.

Li En shook his head. He was not considered a Seven-Star Glory Knight now because he could not use the power of a knight.

"I didn't expect this newcomer, oh no, senior, to be so strong."

"Yeah, his health points are over 1000. How did he do that?"

People were talking about it and looking at him with envy.

Hewen Field laughed heartily.
"Haha, it looks like our team might become the strongest exploration team."

Just as everyone was congratulating Li En and Hewen Field, Sophie quietly placed her hand on the detector.

boom--

The detector is broken.

Sophie nervously withdrew her hand and hid behind Li En like a child who had done something wrong.

Except for Nancy and Inna, no one else cared about this scene. They were all attracted by Li En.

Originally, the three adventure teams had a total of 152 people. After such a screening, only 20 people were left. Together with the elite members of the Knights Templar, Hewen Field formed a 30-person exploration team.

The next morning, the bells of Bear City rang on time, and the sunlight shone on the snow-covered buildings, waking up the people of the city.

With his long hair combed into a ponytail and dressed in gorgeous casual clothes, Hewen Fell led the new expedition members onto the quaint carriage decorated with iron patterns.

The convoy was like a long winding dragon, slowly moving along the frosty official road towards the Northern Wall.

In the morning mist, the carriage wheels rolled over the cobblestone road, making a dull and rhythmic thud.

The carriage pulled by the brown bear was huge and steady, and every step it took seemed to cause slight vibrations at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

The cold mountain wind blew through the caravan, lifting the edge of the cloak and ruffling the witch Sophie's silver hair.

Sophie was holding a cup of hot coffee, with no expression on her cold face.

As the convoy went deeper, the scenery of the snow-capped mountains became more spectacular and desolate.

The towering peaks are like the backbones of ancient gods, covered with white snow. Only the occasional exposed rocks bear witness to the vicissitudes of this land.

The sunlight shines through the clouds and falls on the snow, forming dazzling spots of light.

Li En reached out and touched the icicles on the car window, feeling the cool and transparent texture, while secretly thinking about the upcoming challenges.

Hewen Field lay in the arms of his maid Lolita, eating grapes and talking about his competitors.
"Our uncle, Auston, is only 37 years old this year, but he's already a six-star peak knight. He's the most likely competitor. He's participated in 324 battles defending the North. Of course, I think this number might be inflated. Otherwise, why wouldn't the King of the North just give him the position instead of staging this election?"

"Oh, our cousin Lister is an outstanding five-star Glory Knight. He's even more talented than Austin, but due to excessive indulgence, his realm can no longer be improved. He already has thirty-six wives. Oh, damn Lister, he always shows off in front of me. I hope we don't run into him because he might bring a team of wives with him."

"And Marvin and Brown are also strong competitors. Oh, brother, are you listening to the end?"

Hewen Field, who had been talking to himself, suddenly sat up and looked at Li En opposite him.

His maid Lolita's legs felt a little numb, so she simply changed her position and sat next to Hewen Field, picked up the teapot and poured tea for Hewen Field.

"I heard it."

Li En looked at Hewen Field who was chattering non-stop.

"I don't know any of these people you're talking about."

"Isn't it normal that you don't know him? You're a bastard even more destitute than me, and you don't even live in the North."

Hewen Field shrugged his shoulders, as if realizing that he had said something wrong, and he comforted her,
"Brother, don't worry. This is my own path. You are not interested in the position of heir, so there is no need to bear so much pressure."

"Why isn't Parker among the group you mentioned?"

As the third generation of the Moriah family who became a four-star knight at the age of 14, Parker should be more qualified than Heven Field to participate in the family competition.

But Parker was not among the opponents that Hewen Field mentioned, which was why Li En remained silent.

"Parker? Are you talking about Parker Moriah?"

Hewen Field took the exquisite teacup handed to him by the maid Lolita, took a sip of mountain black tea, and shook his head.

"He would have been a popular option if he hadn't been missing."

"Missing? What do you mean?"

Li En frowned slightly.

"That lucky man named Parker Moriah spent the first 14 years of his life by the King's side, receiving his guidance. He was the envy of all of us, but his luck ran out this year. When the King of the North and his men retreated back to the North, he disappeared. It was said that he was taken away by a rioting witch, while others said he was captured and imprisoned by the Frank family."

Hewen Field adjusted his meticulously combed blond hair and asked in confusion,

"Do you know him?"

"The King in the North didn't send anyone to look for him?"

"It seems you do know him. The King of the North dotes on him very much, so he naturally sent people to look for him. But three months have passed, and his whereabouts are still unknown. He is most likely dead."

Hewen Field said indifferently that he did not have much affection for his cousins, especially Parker, who had been loved since childhood and was almost the imaginary enemy in the minds of all the third generation of the Moria family.

"If he hadn't disappeared, there might not have been a chance for us to turn things around."

Hewen Field said slowly.

"What about Diane?"

Li En continued to ask.

"Princess Diane has always stayed with the King in the North and is his favorite granddaughter. If we win, we might have a chance to meet her."

After saying this, Hewen Field looked out the window. The convoy had passed the snow-capped mountains and arrived at the Northern Wall.
