The Witcher: My backyard leads to London

Chapter 1 Returning from the Wizarding Continent and [Flower of Two Realms]

Knight Continent, Knight Empire on the West Coast, and the sea at the port of Shagang County.

As the sun sets, the gentle sea breeze blows on your face.

Ricardo, dressed in gray robe, looked at the port getting closer and closer in the distance.

He was standing on the bow of a huge ship that was hundreds of meters long and tens of meters wide.

After months of turbulence and crossing wild stormy seas, the ship carried Ricardo back to the place where he left ten years ago.

‘I’m back, it’s been ten years. ’

'I remember the last time I left, I was a ten-year-old knight's squire, being shaken in the cabin and vomiting. ’

'Although it was uncomfortable, I was selected as a wizard seed by the people in Wizarding Continent at that time. With the hope of becoming a wizard in the future, I felt happy even though I felt uncomfortable physically. ’

Ricardo smiled lonely as he recalled the past.

'Although hope is beautiful, reality is cruel...cough...cough...'

Ricardo was halfway through remembering the original scene when he suddenly started coughing while holding his chest.

After coughing a few times, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and put it over his mouth.

After a while, I took off the handkerchief and took a look. The handkerchief was covered in black blood.

'Alas, the wizard's future is at an end. I can only return to my hometown to recuperate and try to extend my life as much as possible. ’

Ricardo looked at the black blood on the handkerchief with bitterness on his face.

Ten years ago, as a wizard seed, he crossed the Storm Sea to the Wizard Continent and became a student of the Gray Mist Towers of the wizard organization.

Although his qualifications were neither good nor bad, through Ricardo's efforts and the experience of two lifetimes of struggle, he became an intermediate wizard apprentice in just seven years.

However……

At that time, there was a plane war between the entire wizarding world and the nightmare world.

The evil spirits of the nightmare world continue to infest various areas of the Wizarding Continent.

After Ricardo was forced to assign a task to exorcise evil spirits, during the task, he was eroded by the curse of evil spirits.

The mental space is polluted and damaged.

After that, it would be extremely difficult for him to upgrade his wizard level.

In the past three years, not only has he not made any progress in wizard practice, but his mental strength, which was originally stable at the intermediate wizard apprentice level, has begun to show signs of decline.

His health was also deteriorating. His physique, which had already reached the level of a third-level junior knight, was now vomiting blood.

'My original ambitious goal as a boy was to become a high-level wizard, and then see if I could switch to the path of the immortal gods like the ancestors in some biographies, ignite the divine fire, and witness this possible ongoing event in the eternal years. Tens of thousands of years of plane war...'

'Now that I am over twenty, I have to retire and return to my hometown...'

'hometown……'

Ricardo was a time traveler.

His hometown is within the borders of Shagang County ahead, and is the ‘Binghu Lord Territory’ on the edge of the county.

Ricardo is the second son of the old Lord "Lord Binghu".

During the ten years that Ricardo was away from home, the old Lord had fallen ill and died.

Now it was Ricardo's eldest brother who inherited the title of Lord.

However, after the old Lord died of a strange illness, Ricardo's eldest brother was also seriously ill in bed and dying.

Ricardo's eldest brother had no children yet.

Judging from the letter Ricardo received from his elder brother in his hometown before setting off.

If Ricardo does not come back, if something unexpected happens to his eldest brother, there may be a succession dispute in the 'Binghu Lord Territory'.

A relative in his hometown was seriously ill, and the wizard's future was bleak. After purchasing the healing potion, Ricardo hurriedly set out on his way back to his hometown.

…

Ding.

Half an hour later, the ship docked and began to lower its anchor.

It was dusk.

The entire port was illuminated by the afterglow of the sunset, golden and brilliant, so dazzling.

Ricardo was a little distracted looking at this beautiful scenery. As he was dazed, he noticed a hooded man in black robes appeared in front of him to his left.

Under the hood is the face of a middle-aged man with stubble.

"Senior Paris, long time no see."

Ricardo smiled slightly and saluted the man in black robe.

Paris was Ricardo's original introduction.

The original batch of wizard seedlings were sent to the port by Paris, and one-third of them were wizards whose qualifications were tested by Paris himself.

Paris was also an apprentice of the wizard organization "Grey Mist Towers". When he left the wizard continent, he was already a senior wizard apprentice.

From ten years ago to now, it seems that the opponent's level has not changed.

This is not surprising. The resources of the Knight Continent are poor, otherwise it would not have a completely different civilization style from the Wizard Continent.

"Haha, Ricardo. Your apprentice gatherings have given me a lot of useful information over the past few years."

"Next, I will try my best to help you get on the right track in your retirement life."

Paris's bearded face smiled cheerfully, and it had a completely different temperament from the gloomy look he wore when they first met, wearing a black robe.

Ricardo felt slightly reassured when he saw Paris's reaction.

Many of the wizard seedlings he belonged to finally chose to develop in several areas near the gray mist towers.

With the experience of two lifetimes, Ricardo organized a small pen pal group among them.

Share experiences on the journey of wizard apprenticeship with each other.

Later, Ricardo even wrote a letter to Paris, the original introduction person, and brought Paris into the communication of the pen pal group.

Knowledge, information... have a place that cannot be ignored on the wizard's path.

Much information that may be no more than common sense to some wizard apprentices may be treasure trove to others.

Through this pen pal association, Ricardo also gained some trust with Paris.

At this time, the two met and communicated with each other, and became more familiar with each other.

"In the past ten years, Shagang County has developed rapidly. Now it is truly the third largest port city in the empire..."

"The war between the Wizarding World and the Nightmare World has also affected the Knight Continent. Now there are often evil spirits and evil events on the continent."

Paris and Ricardo were chatting.

His words clearly revealed that he came to Ricardo with a purpose.

Ricardo was not surprised. Before returning home, in a letter to Paris, Ricardo hoped that the other party could introduce the future channels for obtaining wizard resources in Knight Continent.

"Evil spirits, and [Nightmare Realm]?"

Ricardo captured the key point in Paris's words.

He thought about the fact that he was injured by the evil spirit, and his expression was slightly unnatural.

"That's right."

Paris took out a black sealed bag from his arms, and Ricardo immediately recognized it as a sealed bag of demonized items.

However, the sealed bag is not completely sealed and looks like it can be taken out at any time.

Apparently what's inside isn't that dangerous.

Paris handed the bag to Ricardo.

"Now, some official wizards from the Wizarding Continent are taking the lead in setting up organizations on the Knights Continent to target evil spirits and evil environments."

"They also issue tasks, and various resources can be obtained through tasks."

"Shagang County recently cleaned up a [Nightmare Land]. The evil spirits inside have been resolved, and the remaining pollution will dissipate within a year."

Paris motioned to Ricardo to take out the contents of the bag.

"This is something taken out from that evil place. It is a fragment of a page that is still slightly contaminated by evil spirits. I helped you receive this easy task. Your task is to pass this piece of paper in the next year. Use the remaining pages to use divination to monitor the changes in that evil environment."

"Once the evil realm pollution is completely dissipated and transformed into a secret realm, the mission will be considered a success. A very simple mission."

After hearing this, Ricardo fumbled in the sealed bag and prepared to take out the fragment of page.

"What's the name of the evil realm?"

Paris thought for a moment, "It's a bit hard to pronounce. It's called 'Langdun Purple Flower Island Cafe'."

"Lang Dun?"

"Lang... Atsushi?"

Ricardo thought this name was a bit special.

"This word, it is said, was uttered by the evil spirits in the evil realm themselves when they were being exorcised."

Paris explained.

Ricardo expressed his understanding that a lot of information about the nightmare world has been circulated in the Wizarding Continent.

When the nightmare world erodes a plane, it will first pollute certain areas in the plane, intersect these areas with the wizarding world to form a bad environment, and then place them in the wizarding world.

"I guess 'Langdun' is the place name of another world eroded by the nightmare world. Unfortunately, the evil realm is completely closed. The wizarding world has never been able to enter the world behind the evil realm through the evil realm."

At this time, the remaining pages were taken out.

A piece of broken yellowed letter paper with words different from those in the wizarding world.

Ricardo glanced at the fragment, paused on his hand, and the pupils in his eyes shrank without trace, then pretended to be casual and threw the fragment back into the sealed bag.

"Okay, let's talk about the rest later."

"I opened an office in the county town, waiting for it to be merged by the wizard-led organization in the future, and then it will also be equipped with a small library and an apprentice club. After you return to the lord's territory and pack your luggage, you can come and take a look."

"A wizard apprentice, no matter what, must have access to resources and information."

Paris confirmed that Ricardo had put the remaining pages back into the sealed bag, then turned to say goodbye.

A gust of wind blew.

Paris disappeared.

…

The sunset is setting.

Ricardo turned sideways and looked at the sea in the distance.

His hands were shaking unconsciously.

After calming down for a while.

He took out the fragment of page from the sealed bag again.

"That's right..."

Ricardo's hands were trembling as he translated the text on the remaining pages.

This text...

It was the English he was familiar with in his previous life.

Some English phrases on the remaining pages are translated as:

London...travel notes...magic...

… Leaky Cauldron Alley, Honeysel University…

at the same time.

A mechanical voice appeared in Ricardo's mind.

‘An item of evil thoughts from another world is discovered, the template is activated, and the evil thoughts are being absorbed…’

As the voice ended, an information panel appeared in Ricardo's mind.

Name: Ricardo

Physique: 7.5, Spirit: 12

Related: None

Talent: New Territory Clone

Clone: ​​The Evil Flower of Two Worlds (the main flower language has not yet awakened)

Flower language: none

Flower of Evil: 2%...3%... (Absorb evil thoughts, when full, you can swallow the flower language or awaken)

Inside the gray robe on Ricardo's arm, an illusory vine with a gray sunflower is wrapping around it.

The illusory vines have branched out vine tentacles and are wrapping around the broken page...

Flower of Evil: 3%…4%…

Absorbing evil thoughts...

'My golden finger...it...awakened like this? ’
