The Witcher: My backyard leads to London

…

Afternoon in the modern world where London is located, evening in the wizarding world.

Ricardo finally had his first meal in the main building of Fanhua Manor.

The manor's chef prepared a sumptuous dinner, with cheese and fruit for starters and roasted ribs with mashed potatoes and peas, and beef soup for main course.

But these are obviously still a bit crude for Ricardo.

Fortunately, he had anticipated it and ordered in advance at the restaurant on the first floor of Liangkesong Hotel, packed it up, and brought it over.

He dismissed the ordinary servants and attendants, and then took out all the packed meals. The sumptuousness of the dinner immediately increased by at least two levels.

Next to the grilled ribs were dishes that clearly did not belong to this era: a plate of foie gras mousse with black truffle and fig jam, a plate of lobster soup with vanilla cream and crabmeat, a roast goose, and a piece of Chocolate cake, plus a bottle of white wine, as well as polished rice and pasta.

"Theresa, let's dine together. Help me carve the roast goose."

Ricardo was bored eating alone, so he asked Teresa, the head maid who also came from the Lord's family, to accompany him.

Theresa became Ricardo's attendant because she wanted to follow Ricardo and practice the path of a wizard.

She also has the strength of a third-level junior knight, and her status is not comparable to that of ordinary attendants.

"Oh... ok, ok..."

"Ricardo...my lord."

Teresa looked obviously nervous when she saw the dishes that were obviously different from the characteristics of the manor kitchen...

…after the meal.

Ricardo asked Teresa to put the food brought from modern times into garbage bags, and then he put them in the magic storage bag.

He will deal with these at the hotel when he returns to London to stay at the hotel in the evening.

"Sir, when I went to the castle to deliver a message to the captain of the guard today, I received a letter from the family."

"Right now, there are some rumors about you in Shagang County and Pansen County."

Theresa mentioned some of the contents of her father's letter to Ricardo.

After hearing this, Ricardo frowned.

He did not expect that the problem of the wizard's path forward after his mental space was damaged would actually spread to neighboring counties.

‘Cohen! ’

‘What a big mouth! ’

Ricardo thought of what Lord Andrew mentioned, which was the news from the apprentice Cohen who returned to his hometown two years ago, and his face darkened.

After he was injured that year, he naturally sought help from the wizard apprentice pen pal group he organized.

Cohen knew it was natural too.

But as soon as he came back, the Jinlu family, an in-law family in the neighboring county, knew about it, which was a bit irritating.

"fortunately."

Ricardo lamented that if he hadn't awakened Golden Finger, his current strength would be even greater than when he was at the peak of the Wizarding Continent.

I'm just not sure what consequences this kind of random spreading of information will have in the end.

"I'll go to the county town tomorrow and go to Parris's office to see if there are any good books. I'll also see if Cohen can get in touch."

Ricardo then decided.

…

Early next morning.

Ricardo took the family carriage and headed to the county seat of Shagang County.

Three days ago, when he returned from overseas, he stayed in a hotel near the dock area outside the county town.

The journey from the hotel to Lord Binghu's territory in the countryside was particularly long.

Set off early in the morning and arrive in the afternoon.

But this time, it was much faster to go directly to Paris Office on the other side of the county town.

Four or five hours later.

Ricardo opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

At this time, the carriage had already entered the county town for a while.

The county town of Shagang County has a population of 500,000 to 600,000, which is one order of magnitude lower than the top two port cities in the West Coast Knight Empire.

But compared to the previous life in the Middle Ages, a population of 100,000 was equivalent to a large city, and it was particularly huge.

Because large cities in the empire usually purchase supernatural powers from wizards for city management, such as opening up sewer systems as huge as a maze city.

At the same time, this era has already entered the steam age in many counties and cities.

So the streets in the city are relatively clean and tidy.

Steam pipes can be seen on many buildings along the street, and gas street lamps and tramcars can be seen on some important streets.

Ricardo's carriage stopped several times in the middle and asked about the approximate location of Paris's office.

After another hour, we arrived at Telegraph Street where the office was located.

The telegraph office is a new official department that has just emerged in a few core cities of the empire. It now mainly serves the communication between imperial officials and nobles in core cities.

Paris's office is on Telegraph Street, in a three-story building next to the telegraph office.

The buildings on this street are particularly exquisite. Various buildings are equipped with steam pipes. You can see steam boilers, differential engines, gas lamps, etc. from the exterior walls of the buildings. The glass material of each building is also far better than the windows of castles in the countryside. That kind of glazed feeling is closer to the windows of the modern world.

In the three-story building where the office was located, Ricardo could see the library inside through the glass windows on the third floor.

"It seems that, as Paris said, the office is equipped with a small library and possibly an apprentice club."

Ricardo saw a sign next to the door of the office on the first floor with two lines of words:

‘Shagang County Night Watch Office’,

"The back is the Constellation Church. For non-evil spirit matters, please go directly to the church."

Ricardo looked behind the building, and sure enough, in the distance behind the office building was a church of the Constellation Church, which looked to be quite high in standard.

"Night Watch Officer..."

Ricardo got off the carriage and looked at the name of the firm again.

Thoughtful.

The Night Watchman is a special title, derived from the wizard organization "The Night Watch". Hundreds of years ago, the Night Watch was one of the seven supreme organizations in the Wizarding Continent. However, over the past few hundred years, it has become one of the seven supreme organizations. The only organization in the organization to decline and withdraw from the top ranks.

The former supreme wizard organization has split into several forces, such as the Exorcist Alliance Headquarters, the Exorcist Hall, the Night Watch Association, and the Night Watch Bureau.

One of them even occupied the magpie's nest of the Glory Holy See a hundred years ago, changed the entire Glory Holy See into a new one, and renamed it the 'Holy Holy See'.

"After reading what Paris said, the firm he runs will be organized and merged by wizards in the future. What he said is true."

"Could it be that the Night Watchmen Association will annex this firm in the future? Or is it directly the Exorcist Alliance?"

There is currently a war between the Wizarding World and the Nightmare World, and some of the aftermath of the war has already implicated the Knight Continent.

As Paris said, many wizards have come to Knight Continent and are taking the lead in establishing organizations to deal with evil spirits.

In the Wizarding Continent, the leader in this matter is the wizarding organization "Exorcism Alliance Headquarters" which has declined and withdrawn from the top ranks.

This organization formed the exorcism coalition of the Wizarding Continent. The evil spirits task assigned to Ricardo when his mental space was damaged before. The origin of the exorcism coalition is a few floors up.

Ricardo walked towards the building where the office was located.

He walked directly along the stairs on the outer wall of the building to the second floor. He had already seen an external hall on the first floor, and Paris was obviously not in it.

Enter the corridor outside the room on the second floor from the exterior wall staircase.

You can see through the corridor window that there are many large rooms inside, headed by a club-style conference hall, in which several wizard apprentices sit casually.

The level of wizard apprentices is not high, probably around the low level.

"Ricardo?"

When Ricardo entered the room, he heard a familiar voice calling.

He saw a frail young man with green hair waving to him from the side of the room.

"Cohen!!"

'It's you! It’s you boy! ’

Ricardo's expression darkened and he walked directly in the direction of the green-haired boy.

We're halfway there.

Flower of Evil progress: 82%→84%

Ricardo suddenly saw that the progress of Flower of Evil suddenly jumped up.

wrong!

After possessing the "Brilliant Breath" of the flower language, the removal of deep-seated pollution in his mental space accelerated. Now there are only sporadic pollutions left, and the improvement progress of the Flower of Evil has slowed down again.

Today, it’s impossible to improve that much all at once.

It has improved so much now,

There is only one possibility - malice from somewhere else.

Not Cohen!

As the owner of the panel, Ricardo looked in the direction of Cohen and did not feel any change in the progress of Flowers of Evil.

He carefully looked to the side with the corner of his eye.

Next to a bookshelf in the room, a one-eyed boy wearing an eyepatch was chatting with his companions, occasionally glancing at him with an unkind expression.
