The Witcher: My backyard leads to London

…

It didn't take long.

Ricardo and Lorient arrived on the hillside outside Snow Deer Village.

Ricardo asked the coachman to pull the carriage aside and wait there.

He jumped off the carriage and walked next to Lorient.

From the hillside, you can see a nearby stream and waterfall. That is the direction Lorient is looking at. It must be the entrance to the evil realm.

Ricardo estimated the distance from the waterfall to Panxue Forest Manor to Binghu Lingfanhua Manor. This distance was only more than ten kilometers.

The increase in evil realms will inevitably bring many disasters to the Knight Continent, but if the evil realms are completely purified and transformed into secret realms, it will be a valuable asset to the wizards.

For Ricardo, even if this evil environment is not purified, it serves as an additional transfer point. In the future, he can use it to return home whenever he wants, even in the ends of the world.

"Over there is Snow Deer Village. This evil realm is currently sealed. When it was not sealed before, some young people in the village broke into the waterfall while playing. They entered the evil realm and never came out again."

Lorient got off his horse and introduced the situation.

"Lieutenant Colonel Ricardo, this is your first mission in a bad place. Paris and Lady Vera value you very much, so they asked me to be your partner and guide. If you want to continue working in the Demon Hunting Knights and the Exorcist Alliance , you will definitely encounter a lot of bad realm missions in the future. Even if the current bad realm mission is not difficult, you still have to be extremely vigilant. There are many weird things in the bad realm, and you can even kill people regardless of the difference in power level... Well, wait a minute, except for the last time you were cursed by the evil Nightmare Crow, have you ever entered an evil realm in the Wizarding Continent?"

Lorient asked.

"Except for the time with the evil Nightmare Crow, and the evil situation in the cafe that I monitored on my hand, I have never encountered other evil situations."

Ricardo deliberately confused the description of the Cafe Badlands. Previously, the Cafe Badlands had a temporary entrance and exit on the county side. As a result, Celia and others were able to enter it from an ordinary cafe in the county town. However, After the official joint elite team jointly dealt with the bad situation, that entrance has disappeared.

Now only Ricardo himself can enter the evil world of the Purple Flower Island Cafe through the malicious fragments and purple leaves.

"In the Wizarding Continent, low-level evil realms can be transformed into secret realms, and it is not our turn at all. If they are higher-level, they are too dangerous, and we apprentices can't even stay away. At most, we will be dragged to deal with some evil spirits while running errands, or Secondary disasters caused by adverse events.”

Ricardo replied.

"Okay. Then you have to pay attention from this time. Even if the evil spirit you face is very weak, you still have to be vigilant. You can treat the other party as a higher-level monster. If you allow the other party to encounter it, maybe in This kind of bad situation is okay, but if you replace it with something a little weirder, you might die."

Lorient warned, his words also reflected his judgment that the danger in this evil situation was not high.

"Is this bad environment really not dangerous? It involves keywords such as mirror, ice and snow. Doesn't it mean that the group of spellcasters behind the Thieves Guild are doing this? How come there are so many people in and around the Shagang County area? There are so many bad situations similar to keywords, but there don’t seem to be any secondary disasters?”

"'Those people', that is, people related to the Evil Thief Cult, should want to summon a specific evil environment. Although the keywords involved in the current evil environment are related to that specific evil environment, this does not mean that , these evil situations are not what the Evil Thief Cult really wants to attract, they are just bonuses that lead to misdirection."

Lorient seemed to have gone through many changes and didn't talk much. He didn't give Ricardo a friendly response during several meetings, but he still showed enough patience when answering questions.

It seems that the other party is a responsible person.

"A quick survey of the village, and then we'll go straight in."

Lorient said.

Snow Deer Village is located next to the Panxue Mountains and the Panxue Forest, and is surrounded by part of the outer woods of the Panxue Forest, making it appear somewhat isolated from the outside world.

It is an ancient village that retains many ancient and exquisite buildings. Ricardo can see it from the hillside. There is an old church in the center of the village.

The church is built of gray stone, its roof is carved with various constellation symbols, and there is a blue ceiling glass that allows you to see the starry night sky inside the church at night.

There is a blue star pattern logo on the top of the white circular arch of the church, which symbolizes the constellation goddess Ariana.

In Sargang County and Pansen County, although the power of the church is relatively declining in the county towns, many people in the medieval-style countryside still retain their ancient beliefs.

These rural parishes are the sphere of influence of the Constellation Church.

After a quick investigation, Lorient also informed Ricardo of some investigation procedures and techniques as a routine ritual.

Then the two men returned to the waterfall.

"Be prepared and go right in."

"Judging from the investigation records of previous people, the danger of this evil environment is not high for spell casters. Even if its entrance and exit fail, they will be automatically expelled after staying in it for half a day. However, ordinary people will be attracted by the evil spirits inside. I was so scared that I lost my ability to move."

"Let's come here this time to see if we can lock down the evil spirits inside and purify each other. Then let this evil realm begin to transform into a secret realm..."

Lorient took out a black umbrella from his horse, then opened it, took out some spell-casting materials, arranged the ritual circle, and mobilized his spiritual power.

"Umbrella?"

Ricardo was a little surprised.

"Of course. I'm a fifth-level demon hunting knight. I don't have a spell to block the flow of waterfalls. It's not normal to use an umbrella. Have you inscribed or learned similar spells?"

The ritual circle emits a faint shimmer, and then the aura behind the waterfall seems to change. People with high spiritual awareness can feel that the back becomes a little deeper.

Lorient used the ritual circle to unlock the simple seal behind the waterfall, and then directly entered it holding an umbrella.

A fifth-level senior knight...still practicing the Demon Hunter Knight Breathing Technique...

Ricardo understood why Lorient could assist Paris in managing the demon-hunting knights in Sarport County.

The supporting practice of the Demon Hunter's Breathing Technique can obtain the three incomplete seals of Demon Hunting Perception, Arden Trap and Yaksi. And after the three seals, the power of the seals is linked, which can not only improve the mental power, but also make a person The knight's strength and means have undergone a qualitative change.

Lorient's ability to arrange ritual circles and cast spells is proof of this.

As for the supporting combat skills such as Dance of the Silver Sword, Ricardo obtains them automatically by upgrading the skills, while Lorient has practiced them over time.

With such a variety of methods that are more diverse than those of ordinary high-level knights, as well as combat skills such as Silver Sword Dance that can restrain evil spirits, he can naturally take on important tasks.

…Manipulate airflow!

Separate the water!

Ricardo didn't have an umbrella, so he directly used the special effects of the War Hammer Breathing Technique to separate the flowing water of the waterfall, and broke into the back of the waterfall with one step.

The cliff behind the waterfall looks like an illusion, but Ricardo could reach into it and explore the world behind it.

After a brief divination and confirming that he could be transported to the modern world for refuge at any time, Ricardo entered the evil realm.

…

"...The anti-jamming mechanism is activated and extra teleportation points are obtained."

Briefly encountering the darkness that appeared through the cliff wall, Ricardo's eyes became bright again.

At the same time, mechanical sounds rang in my ears.

Ricardo received an additional teleport point.

‘Finally got it! ’

Ricardo felt happy in his heart, and immediately judged that he could be transported from here to the outside of the evil world, or to the modern world at any time.

Ricardo felt relieved.

This step forward, although it is only a short step, is of great value.

Ricardo immediately thought of a wonderful picture: when he becomes more powerful, he will get on a ship returning to the Wizarding Continent, and then let his avatar be on the ship. He will be teleported to the modern world for half a year. After arriving at the Wizarding Continent, he will teleport back. With greater strength, he also found a similar low-level evil environment in the Wizarding Continent, leaving a teleportation point.

Then he can return to the Ice Lake Territory by following the teleportation path of 'Wizard Continent - Mirror Shop Evil Realm - Coming out of the Evil Realm'.

Or follow the teleportation path 'Knight Continent - Wizard Continent is similar to the Evil Realm - Come out of the Evil Realm' to return to the Wizard Continent.

He can not only carry out the operation of betrayal between the two worlds, but also conduct instant cross-continental trade when he is short of money!

It was just a sudden idea. Ricardo looked ahead and became more vigilant:

The most important thing right now is to deal with the evil situation in front of you first!

…

Ding dong!

The electronic welcome to a store that is often heard in the modern world reached my ears.

The evil realms encountered in the wizarding world, except for the secret realm of cold snow mentioned by Vera, all came from "that other world", that is, the modern world that Ricardo traveled to and from many times.

This is a bright, modern style shop.

Ricardo was standing at the door at this time. He saw a vertical signboard on the right front side with the words "Mirror House" written on it.

The decoration and shelf arrangement of the store are somewhat like a modern optical store.

It's just that compared to the optical shop, there are several more rows of slender display cabinets in the middle. Various small mirrors are placed on and in the display cabinets: round, square, heart-shaped, star-shaped, etc. Wait, on the innermost wall, you can see a full-length mirror and the passage leading to the back room next to the full-length mirror.

The store is like any other optical store, with a bright interior and several white modern lamps installed on the ceiling.

That's what was written in the previous information sent by Pansen Harp: ...a high-end lamp with a bit of Wizard Continent style.

After taking a quick look at the situation in front of him, Ricardo immediately noticed something was wrong.

...Why is he alone?

"Lorient!"

Ricardo looked at the seemingly empty shop and called to the other party.

In the small shop space, Ricardo's words had the feeling of reverberating in the open space.

It even seemed like he could vaguely hear the echo of his own voice.
