The Witcher: My backyard leads to London

Chapter 37 Discovering cursed evil thoughts and similar [teleportation] (please follow up)

Directly visible hostility alone increases progress by 7 points.

When Ricardo returned to the castle, the total amount of malice provided by the two Wind Wolf Baron knights after being whipped was only about 9 points.

"Sir Ricardo!"

The captain of the castle guard and the cavalry who followed him stopped their horses, then dismounted and saluted.

"This is the guard captain of the Wind Wolf Baron. He has sent Master Kerry's letter to Lord Andrew and you."

"My lord is sick in bed. He simply read his letter and then said that you will decide everything."

With that said, the guard captain handed over the two letters.

Ricardo took the letter.

He saw that the malicious captain of the Wind Wolf Baron did not dismount, nor did he salute.

He just looked at him with arrogant eyes under the almost completely closed helmet.

Ricardo narrowed his eyes, and the illusory vines in his wizard's gray robe were already ready to move.

He opened Kerry's letter to Andrew first.

Kerry was the illegitimate son of the old lord, and Ricardo had only seen him on the fringes of the occasional family banquet when he was a child.

He is one year older than Andrew, and he once joined the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Group in the territory.

In a certain year, the Mountain Wolf mercenary group turned into bandits and became the Mountain Wolf bandit group. After Kerry quit the mercenary group and went to the county to find a job.

The letter to Andrew contained only a few words: 'Andrew, how have you considered my suggestion? My previous conditions have remained unchanged...'

It can be seen from the letter that the fact that Andrew's serious illness has been reduced to a common illness has not been leaked from the castle, and the outside world does not know that Ricardo gave Andrew a therapeutic medicine.

Ricardo opened Kerry's letter to himself again.

"My dear brother, I am glad that you can return from the Wizarding Continent...Although it has been rumored in the county circles that you came back because of an injury, after all, you are also an intermediate apprentice with a status at least at the level of a senior knight. My friend A lot. Even if your cultivation level may be reduced to a junior apprentice in the future, I can help you run into some church branches or some apprentice organizations, as long as you..."

In the beginning of the letter, Kerry spoke loudly. Although he was not deliberately sarcastic, Ricardo still read the arrogance.

The other party didn't know that Ricardo had solved the injury problem, and that he had organized a pen pal club in Wizarding Continent and made a fortune.

In addition, because of Cohen's relationship, after two years, the news slowly fermented, and now even Kerry knows about it.

"...I suggest you not to find a way to cure Andrew, and not to get involved in the grudge between us. Baron Wind Wolf is on my side, and we have several senior knights here. I can even tell you that I originally I work for the Thieves Guild in the county. If you want to be my enemy, haha, although there are not many intermediate apprentices even in Shagang County, but..."

By the second half, threats were already appearing in the letter.

"If you want to forcefully seize the inheritance rights from me after Andrew's death. Then...I can only say that the bandits in the territory now are a small warning. Please retreat."

After reading the letter.

Ricardo folded the letter silently.

Bandits, thieves guild...

Also, speaking like this to an intermediate wizard apprentice, it sounds like this thieves guild, which has been banned by the church, is not simple, or does the thieves and the thieves guild have a complicated background?

Some speculations flashed through Ricardo's mind.

Opposite him, the guard captain of Baron Wind Wolf finally spoke.

"Master Ricardo, you have seen Master Kerry's kindness. I hope you can be more sensible..."

This senior knight on horseback did not hide his malice when he spoke.

As the captain of the guard of the Baron of Wind Wolf, Kerry already knew what he knew. When the two sides were enemies, he would not respect an enemy apprentice whose future as a wizard was cut off.

"Come down!"

Watch the progress of Flower of Evil slow down.

Ricardo looked at the senior knight on the horse with a provocative look.

"What?"

The senior knight on the other side knew that his posture was arrogant, but he didn't expect that he would just get into trouble without saying much.

spit!

Seeing the senior knight stunned, Ricardo directly used the power of the third-level junior knight and the newly mastered breathing method to spit in the senior knight's face.

Snap.

The spit hit the gap between the eyes of the senior knight's helmet directly.

"you!!"

The other party was shocked and then furious.

"Captain of the guard, whip!"

Ricardo said to the captain of the guard the same words as the last time he faced the knights of the Wind Wolf Barony.

"yes."

The captain of the guard quickly handed the discipline whip around his waist to Ricardo, then retreated and immediately climbed onto the saddle.

He wanted to prevent the senior knight in front of him from violently counterattacking.

‘Energy’!

Ricardo looked at the other party and was furious, and then the progress of the stagnant Flower of Evil increased again.

Without any change in expression, Ricardo waved the whip in his hand.

Just hit the opponent directly.

No!

The senior knight of the Wind Wolf Barony hadn't fully figured out how to deal with it yet, so he could only resist it with the arm armor on his hand.

But the whip hit it directly, and the senior knight felt that he was about to fall off the horse.

He quickly grabbed the horse's reins with both hands and tightened his legs around the saddle.

He lowered his body and shook a bit to avoid falling off the horse.

Want to fight? No!

Walk!

The senior knight was just here to deliver a message this time, and his malicious intent was his force's plan against the Ice Lake Territory, but he had no right to decide whether to take action now.

"Don't go too far!"

Flower of Evil progress: 53%…57%…

The senior knight showed hatred in his eyes, and then he drove his horse in a sideways direction.

But Ricardo's whip didn't look like he would stop immediately.

His whip hit the opponent's armor back directly.

The opponent stumbled and almost fell completely on the back of the horse to prevent him from falling.

He drove his horse directly towards the woods in the distance.

‘Evil thought curse detected, start absorbing it! ’

At this moment, the mechanical sound sounded, and the progress of the Flower of Evil suddenly increased from 57% to 62%.

Then it stagnated.

what's the situation?

And a curse? Is there anyone behind this senior knight?

Ricardo was shocked. When he was analyzing, he asked the two cavalrymen behind the guard captain to dismount, and he sat astride them, one person and two horses.

When he rode on the horse, he judged that the increase in evil thoughts was similar to the previous situation of absorbing the curse from Andrew.

There might be an enemy nearby holding a cursed supernatural item, or a low-level wizard apprentice might have cast a curse on him.

The progress of Flower of Evil is still increasing.

Ricardo didn't know at this time whether this progress came from the malice of the senior knights as they fled, or from the subsequent absorption of the curse of evil thoughts.

But he knew that if it was the malice of a senior knight, he would have to be harmed even slightly again to solidify the progress of the Flower of Evil.

He directly controlled the two horses and rushed into the woods ahead.

He ignored the guard captain calling behind him.

Entering the woods, he summoned the Evil Flower Spirit Puppet and programmed him with a riding action mode.

Let the evil flower spirit puppet ride the other horse.

Let him and his clone keep a certain distance apart, and head towards the woods together to chase the enemy on horseback.

He expected to at least give the senior knight of the Wind Wolf Barony one more whip.

And find out who is causing the evil curse in the woods.

When he is separated from the clone, he can teleport back to London and then teleport back to replace the clone's position, thereby achieving teleportation within the world in a short period of time.

However, this teleportation operation cannot be seen by others. After all, the ability to teleport is not something that an apprentice or even a low-level wizard can do.
