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

Chapter 76 "Sophie, do you want to do something romantic?"

late at night.

In the Bone Forest, in the lord's tent.

Li En had finished taking a bath, and his body was filled with the fragrance of the dream flower.

But only he could sense this smell, just like he couldn't smell the scent of the dream flower on Simo.

Sophie couldn't smell Li En's body fragrance either, even though she lay on top of Li En and tried hard to smell it with her nose raised for a long time.

"That's all right, Sophie. I trust your honesty."

Li En said with a smile.

It’s a good thing for Li En that others can’t smell this smell.

Because it makes it easier to sneak and hide.

According to Sally, after the scent of the Dream Sleep Flower disappears, that's when he'll need the succubus's help for the second time.

The duration of the fragrance of the dream flower varies from person to person, usually between 1 month and 3 months.

Therefore, Li En doesn't have to worry for the time being.

Sophie withdrew her hands and shrank back, her face blushing belatedly.

What had he done? Not only had he openly watched Master Li En bathe, but he had also stayed close to his body and sniffed at him for so long?
The most important thing is that she is not the only one here.

Father Seamus and Sally were there.

The two men had strange smiles on their faces.

They had already determined in their hearts that the Ice Witch and Li En had an unusual relationship.

"Why don't you leave yet? Do you want me to send you off?"

Lee En looked at Seamus and Sally in confusion.

The two immediately realized that their presence was somewhat redundant.

After seeing Seamus and Sally off, the atmosphere in the tent quickly became ambiguous.

"Sophie, please help me get my clothes."

Sophie hurriedly handed Li En his clothes, including his knight's sword.

Li En put on his clothes, took out his sword, gently stroked the crack on the sword, and frowned slightly.

I didn't expect that the sword would be damaged just by using it to kill some tree monsters.

It seems that it is time to create a knight sword for the four-star shadow knight.

No, the knight's sword should be used.

"Sophie, do you want to do something romantic?"

Li En raised his eyes and looked at Sophie with bright eyes.

"A romantic thing?"

Sophie's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Yes, something romantic."

So, Li En took Sophie and sneaked back to the blacksmith shop in the village outside the high wall, which belonged to the Green Shade Territory.

The owner of the blacksmith shop had closed the shop for a long time, but he couldn't resist the temptation of money and opened a back door for Li En and Sophie.

The boss was half asleep, and since both Li En and Sophie were wearing hoods, they had no idea that the people who patronized the shop were the Lord and the Guardian Witch of the Green Shade Territory. They only guessed that it was a royal craftsman of a noble who did not want to reveal his identity.

For a blacksmith apprentice, what could be more romantic than having the girl he likes watch him forging iron?
"Do you need help?"

The blacksmith rubbed his hands and asked in a flattering manner.

"Need not."

Li En looked at the facilities in the blacksmith shop. It was equipped with a large furnace, anvil, bellows and some necessary blacksmithing tools. The only drawback was that there were no precious materials here.

Ordinary iron is difficult to forge into a sharp knife.

Li En decided to melt his sword and rebuild it.

This sword was left by old Moria. Although it had cracks when it was used to chop down the tree monster, it is made of high-grade blue ore iron after all, and is many times stronger than the materials in the blacksmith shop.

Seeing that Li En really didn't need him, the blacksmith turned and went into the inner room to rest.

He was not worried that Li En would steal things, because all his belongings added up were not worth the reward Li En gave him.

Li En began to forge his own knight's sword.

Sophie was watching from the side.

She knew nothing about blacksmithing, but she was very absorbed in watching it.

Every step she took felt new and exciting. A raging fire burned in the furnace, sparks flying everywhere, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.

Li En stood in front of the black anvil, sweat rolling down his fair skin, as crystal clear as a bead curtain.

His hands were thick and powerful, holding a red hammer, and every swing was like the power of wind and thunder.

Although Li En had never really learned how to forge iron, he was very proficient at it, as if it was engraved in his DNA and was an innate talent.

This is probably muscle memory, accumulated by the original owner over many years in the blacksmith shop.

He had remelted the sword into a hot block of iron.

After repeated forging by the four-star Shadow Knight, the iron block gradually became sharper from rough.

Li En's eyes were focused and determined, as if the knife carried his hope and strength.

The flames licked the iron, as if dancing for the weapon that was about to be born.

Sparks and iron filings flew together, and the sound of hammer and anvil hitting each other was sonorous and powerful, playing a metallic symphony.

Sophie was so fascinated by what she saw that she didn't dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing Li En.

As time passed, Li En's face became more tired, but his hands became more steady.

He folded and forged the iron block, gradually shaping it into the shape of the knife.

On the whetstone, he carefully polished the blade, and every mark of grinding showed his utmost care.

As the blade gradually takes shape, its edge begins to show.

Li En stopped and carefully wiped the blade with an oilcloth. The blade reflected a cold light under the light.

He gazed at his work expectantly, holding the hilt in his hand and swinging it a few times, feeling its balance and weight.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Li En said affirmatively. He placed the knife in the water to cool it down. When the blade completely sank into the water, the water rippled and the ripples gradually dissipated, while the knife lay quietly in the water.

The last step was to have Sophie use ice magic to carve patterns on the knife.

Under Li En's command, Sophie controlled the intensity of the magic just right and carved an exquisite snowflake texture on the blade.

Finally, the knight's sword was successfully made.

Li En was quite satisfied with its appearance and power.

Sophie looked at this strange weapon with curiosity. It looked like both a sword and a knife.

If you call it a knife, it is too long; if you call it a sword, it only has one blade.

As if he understood Sophie's doubts, Li En took the initiative to explain,

"This is a samurai, oh no, a knight's sword."

Sophie seemed to understand, because in this world, knights basically only knew how to use swords, and there were very few knights who used knives.

The sword is not only a weapon to the knight, but also a glory.

Knives are more often used by robbers and civilians.

"I've already given him a nice name, Xuezou!"

The corners of Li En's mouth curled up, and the image of the green algae-haired man appeared in his mind.

Green algae head, let me carry forward your swordsmanship in the other world!

Once the middle school spirit is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish.

Li En even practiced the Itto-ryu Lion Elegy - Iai Slash on the spot.

There was a loud bang.

The blacksmith shop was split into two by the power of the four-star Shadow Knight, and the roof was completely blown off.

The blacksmith and his wife, who were still resting in the inner room, had no time to put on their clothes. They got up and saw the brilliant starry sky above their heads.

"Sophie, retreat!"

Li En took Sophie and ran away.

Amid the angry curses of the blacksmith and his wife, the two men ran all the way from the village into the forest, with the wind in the forest whistling in their ears.

Sophie felt the warmth from Li En's palm, looked at the boy's long hair blown by the wind, and felt a freedom and excitement she had never felt before.

Although she didn't know why she ran away.

But as the guardian witch, she never ran away.

This was the first time she felt that she was not the guardian of Green Shade Territory, she was just an ordinary girl.
