The Witcher: My backyard leads to London

As for the issue of merit, Ricardo has already made a deal with Miss Vera.

Ricardo helped Vera get the piece of land near the ice lake in the Panxue Mountains, which was once considered the entrance to the secret realm of cold snow and was extremely rich in ice energy.

And in the future, after Vera opens a small crack leading to the secret realm of Linxue, he will help her with some business operations.

In return, Vera will help him with mission achievements, and this help will make others think that Vera is Ricardo's backer.

"But recently there have been too many foreign forces and extraordinary beings in the county... That medium-sized evil environment is too dangerous..."

Ricardo asked Ms. Pansen Harp if she had any other missions with the keywords mirror, ice, snow, and destiny, but the other party never responded.

All we can do is continue to wait.

Taking advantage of this time, Ricardo also thought about letting the subspace evil brain research and complete the next complete seal.

The Demon Hunter Knight's Breathing Technique, in addition to the Demon Hunting Sense, also provides the fourth-level Arden Trap, the fifth-level Yakxi Seal, and the sixth-level Alder Seal, these three incomplete seals.

Ricardo is currently considering two options, without inscribing new flower language inscriptions:

One is to inscribe and study the trick of 'dark vision', and on this basis, try to analyze the corresponding inscriptions of the extraordinary ability of 'scarlet vision', and then integrate and complete the charming seal of Yaksi;

The other is to analyze the mental deterrent ability of the Warhammer Breathing Method with the manipulation of airflow based on the 'Netherworld Whiplash', and then integrate and complete the mental power seal of Alder.

Both combine their existing foundations to maximize their advantages.

Let’s not consider using the flower language inscriptions for now, because every time the flower trough of 100% evil is consumed, the length of the slot will become longer. Ricardo considers the long term and will not deliberately waste the flower language quota for the sake of matching the compatibility with the incomplete seal.

To swallow the language of flowers, it should at least be like Shelter Yinyou. Even if it is not powerful, it has many effects. With Shelter Yinyou, Ricardo will at least be more assured of the safety of his family in the two worlds.

…

"Gu."

Not long after Ricardo asked the Subspace Evil Brain to start the next round of research.

The owl reply from Ms. Pansen Harp came, asking Ricardo to go to the office.

Miss Vera wants to see him.

Ricardo still used the family carriage to rush to the county seat.

He did not directly use the teleportation point in the evil realm, where all forces were now watching the entrance and exit. If he came out directly without any trace of entering, if he was discovered, the secret would be exposed.

At this moment, he found that he lacked a means of invisibility. If he could become invisible, and Huayu's ability to protect Yinyou from prying eyes was stronger, he would be able to teleport to the county.

At this time, Sheltering Yinyou also merged with the incomplete seal of demon hunting perception, becoming the Demon Hunting Yinyou Seal.

This seal can strengthen Ricardo's perception of surrounding things, especially monsters, focusing on vision, hearing and intuition. It can also improve Ricardo's ability to prevent prying eyes.

Moreover, the ability to prevent prying eyes brought by Shelter Yinyou is as unreasonable as some descriptions of Hua Yu Pai's crit attack. At some point, it may be able to block some prying eyes that exceed the limits of one's own personality.

…

Ricardo came to the office.

It was already night.

Ms. Pansen Harp, wearing a black custom-made nun's robe, took him to the third floor.

On the third floor, Ricardo saw that Vera and Hedwig were not there.

But Lady Harp led him to a small room at the back of the room.

This is an ordinary small office room with only a desk and a few office chairs.

But there is a balcony to the back of the office.

From the balcony, you can see the Constellation Church building behind the office.

At night, the top of the Constellation Church shines like stars, reflecting each other with the stars in the night sky, which is really beautiful.

Vera was sitting on the balcony, hugging her knees, sitting in the night wind, looking at the stars on the top of the Constellation Church.

Next to her was a familiar canvas stand. The pen drawing on the top was an outline of a human figure with only the left eye.

Ricardo was startled when he looked at the left eye, but he adjusted his expression in a flash.

He looked at Vera, who was taking off her black and red-rimmed glasses and wiping them casually.

"Why don't you just choose that medium-sized evil environment? Didn't you investigate it from the beginning?"

Vera asked.

Ricardo understood that the other party already knew that he had been there once.

"Because of the danger, although I don't have much information, there is no doubt that the matter of the Evil Thieves Order involves more than a formal wizard, and I... am just an apprentice..."

Ricardo answered calmly, but the current environment was quite unique.

The dark room, the dark night outside, the balcony in the night wind, the stars on top of the constellation church outside...

The other party didn't regard him as an outsider, and even sat in a posture of hugging his knees...

"The evil realm inside is called Snowy Night Forest. It used to be a valley between several famous peaks in Linxue Province, but now it has turned into a closed evil realm and is not a normal entrance to the secret realm of Linxue."

Vera began to explain this evil situation directly,

"The Evil Thief Cult obtained three 'Storm Beacons' from the Storm Clan from unknown sources and set them up in three different corners of the forest on a snowy night. They placed intermediaries in these three Storm Beacons. Summoning and pulling them to the last evil place they wanted... where a high-ranking official from decades ago was bound..."

Ricardo felt inexplicably nervous. The other party shared this with him, obviously because he wanted to participate in this mission in a bad environment.

"You don't have to be nervous, although I do want you to participate. Tomorrow, the major official forces will send out several elite teams to go to the evil realm to contain the media in the three storm beacons. Among them, the top brass of the Thieves Guild will gather together. Among them, the main tower is the most dangerous, but you don’t need to go there.”

"When the time comes, Lyra will take you, as well as Paris and Lorient, and you choose a storm beacon from the other two directions to carry out the mission. After this mission is completed, you only need to complete one more small mission. With the high level I gave you, The meritorious deeds can almost be exchanged for that territory and the water of Yasu."

"The enemy knows that their numbers are smaller than ours, so they may not even have people stationed in the other two directions. This mission will be easier than you think."

Vera looked at the stars on top of the Constellation Church in the distance and said slowly.

"…yes."

After Ricardo got the golden finger, he thought many times that in the future, he should be crushed across two levels before performing some tasks. Unexpectedly, just after he tried his best to kill Viscount Frostwind, he was assigned to...

Although Vera said it easily, Ricardo still felt that it was not enough and he was not very strict...

He didn't refuse.

When he is in a bad state, he can enter an extremely calm state and can teleport away at any time.

In this mission, the team was led by Ms. Pansen Harp. In the previous contact, Ricardo found that the other party was still able to bring a faint sense of oppression to himself, which meant that the other party was very strong.

Vera needed Ricardo to obtain territory and conduct business operations for her in the future. With such a big boss arrangement and Paris Lorient accompanying him, Ricardo also had a few extra layers of insurance.

"Haha, little Ricardo, you are too cautious... Sometimes, if you don't take risks in life, how can you get some once-in-a-lifetime opportunities? Lorient's younger brother almost died in the previous Puppet Cafe, but when he After he comes out alive, I think he may go very far in the future..."

"The same goes for you. For the other two storm beacons, the medium of one is the lost sacred armor 'Leo Young' of the Constellation Church, and the medium of the other is, I guess, half a purple flower card."

"I promise you, no matter which medium you get, you can keep it for your own use."

As Vera spoke, she casually took out the pen from her hair. Her long dark hair fell like a waterfall. She put on her black and red-rimmed glasses again and looked at Ricardo with a hint of maturity in her eyes. smile.

"Half a purple flower card!?"

Ricardo's heart suddenly tightened.

"It should be half a thieves card...you know?"

Vera suddenly narrowed her eyes and observed Ricardo.

Half a…rogue card.

Ricardo felt a little disappointed and understood that the big boss in front of him was observing his subtle changes.

Your reaction may be seen by the other party.

But, he really doesn’t have the thieves card...

"Well, it seems that you are not that interested in half a Thief card. The high-ranking official of the Evil Thieves Order who wants to rescue probably has half a card left. We will see your fate later. Will you have the chance to carry a complete one? Purple flower card..."

Ricardo's disappointment seemed to make Vera feel a little disappointed.

Ricardo didn't talk much. He was going to leave. Since he was going on a mission tomorrow, he had to make more preparations.

"etc…"

Before Ricardo turned to leave, Vera stopped Ricardo.

"Do you know the person in the painting?"

she asked suddenly.

"...I don't know...this is Miss Vera, your...friend..."

Ricardo tried his best to keep his heart steady and replied.

"Nothing...this is a friend I met when I was young. How old are you?"

"Twenty years old..."

Ricardo replied stiffly. Seeing a hint of disappointment appear on the other person's face again, he hurriedly said goodbye and left the small room.

Vera looked at Ricardo's figure eager to escape as soon as possible and fell into deep thought.

She stood on her knees with a pen, supported her chin, hugged her knees, and looked at the portrait without knowing what she was thinking.

At this time, the pen painting on the canvas frame seems to be slowly extending every black stroke.

More and more lines began to appear on the face that originally had only one left eye.

It can be felt more and more clearly that the painting is a man...a young man...

…

The next day.

Teams from all forces gathered at the entrance to the evil realm of the ‘Snowy Night Forest’.

Before Ricardo left yesterday, he had been notified of the gathering time by Ms. Pansen Harp.
