The Witcher: My backyard leads to London

The black-robed female knight of the harp walked over to Cohen's body.

She walked around the body.

The blue-gold flame gradually extinguished.

The flesh on the corpse seemed to have completely disappeared, leaving only a headless skeleton full of skeletons.

"The evil spirit curse he suffered has nothing to do with nightmares or the Evil Thieves Order..."

"This kind of curse looks a bit like the tomb of a vampire undead slave once dug near the Panxue Mountains..."

The female knight in black robe looks like Ricardo.

"Clean up the corpse. This unfortunate apprentice will be treated according to the normal pension arrangement for death in battle... If you are determined, you can continue to investigate more..."

"However, if you don't have the slightest connection with the Evil Thief Cult, your merits will not be high..."

After the black-robed female knight finished speaking, she didn't care how the people on the second floor reacted and walked straight to the door.

It seemed like what happened just now was just a small thing that happened casually.

"Olly."

"Put these in special body bags."

Before the female knight had completely walked away, Ricardo immediately greeted her.

He walked over to the window seat where Cohen had been sitting and put away the tabloids on the table that were replicas of his pen pal club.

"As the deputy captain of the Demon Hunter Knight, I will continue to investigate the matter of Cohen being cursed by an evil spirit!"

Ricardo took the tabloid and motioned to the demon hunting knights who had just stood up one after another.

"During the course of this investigation, I also plan to arrange for someone in the Demon Hunter to take over Cohen's previous job as an information broker..."

"If you are interested in knowing more, you can register with Ollie later. As the vice-captain, I will not treat anyone unfairly if they can help me during this period."

Ricardo didn't want to stay out of the situation like he did when he first met the Demon Hunter Knight.

Now he is starting to get involved.

Since Vera wants to have such a big plot in the Panxue Mountains, she will have the Ice Lake Territory undertake a series of tasks in the future.

So no matter what, Ricardo will be involved in the future distribution of interests in Shagang County.

If Vera can really build what she calls a stable secret realm entrance and exit on that piece of land, the secret realm trade that may be involved in the future will affect all aspects of Shagang County.

What Ice Lake gains will definitely have an impact on other forces.

Since you have to enter the game after all, let’s do it!

Ricardo wanted to stay out of the matter before because it was unprofitable. It was enough for him to work on gold fingers and travel between two worlds.

But now, there are enough interests to drive it: the redemption of precious wizard resources, territory expansion, and Vera's support.

The situation has changed.

‘Either you don’t get involved; if you want to get involved, act like you’re involved in the power game. ’

Ricardo thought...

…Looking at Ricardo’s posture, Browning obviously wanted to make a difference within the Demon Hunter Knights.

Suddenly he was stunned.

The subordinates behind him had already helped him pick up the sword from the ground.

Browning didn't even take the sword handed to him by his subordinate. He was so anxious that he walked directly to Ricardo.

"Ricardo's wizard apprentice, is this what you said the day before yesterday, are you only interested in knowledge?"

"I forgot to tell you, Cohen was able to do that because he could produce a special kind of small newspaper. Now that he is dead...it's not that easy..."

Browning gritted his teeth as he read Ricardo's name.

Ricardo obviously tricked him.

This also caused him to lose his prestige in public today.

"Ha ha…"

Ricardo smiled and took out more than ten information trading newspapers from his pen pal meeting in Wizarding Continent from his storage bag.

These newspapers are larger and more sophisticated than the tabloids on Cohen's desk.

"You have nothing to worry about, Major Browning."

"The tabloid fair that Cohen did before was actually modeled after the Wizard's Apprentice Fair that I did. His tabloid was nothing more than a simplified version of the finished product I gave him."

"It doesn't matter. If the apprentices that Cohen connected with before want to learn how to make this kind of newspaper, as long as they do things for me, I will teach them."

Ricardo emphasized his identity as a wizard's apprentice like Browning did, and then he paused,

"...After all! I am the lieutenant colonel of the Demon Hunter Knights, and I will consider everyone's development."

"Okay, Ollie, collect the body bag for me, and then register all the people who are willing to do things for me."

Ricardo directly used magic stones to set up a purification ritual circle on the second floor just like Paris had done on the third floor.

Cohen's body had been almost purified by the black-robed female knight.

But my brain is still not clean.

Ricardo quickly arranged the ceremony.

Then, in full view of the demon-hunting knights, he showed his power as a wizard's apprentice and used a purification ritual to purify the head of Cohen's corpse.

The Ollie siblings were surrounded by the group of righteous mercenary knights who had a mud-legged background gathered by Paris.

This team of demon-hunting knights, unlike the team of nobles, rarely saw spellcasters casting spells.

Some of them did not participate in the operation against the Wind Wolf Territory the day before yesterday.

Ricardo's spell casting proved the power of the wizard apprentice in front of them, plus his dual natural identities of deputy captain and lieutenant colonel of the demon hunting knight.

And the sword fight that embarrassed Browning just now has already initially established prestige in front of everyone.

…Flower of Evil: 292%

Coupled with the malice of Cohen's death, the absorption of the evil spirit's curse, and Browning's malice, Ricardo gained a lot from this cycle.

It's just that the evil flower spirit puppet cannot be summoned to participate in the whole process. Otherwise, a wave of breathing techniques can be improved by the way.

…When Ricardo was casting the spell just now, Browning had already left.

Not long after, Teresa had brought the heads of the bandit group and exchanged the corresponding bounties at various institutions.

The bounty was exchanged for several large bags of gold coins.

The Mountain Wolf Bandit Group transferred from the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Group has been wandering around Shagang County and Pansen County for a long time in recent years, using the Panxue Mountains and Panxue Forest as a basis for advancement and retreat, providing the two counties with The trade back and forth brought huge losses, not to mention things like territorial plunder.

Teresa only gave a brief report as required, but Ricardo could imagine the shock caused by his suppression of bandits in the county council, county office, adventurers guild, etc.

After getting closer to Teresa, Ricardo took the Ollie siblings, as well as the demon hunting knights who were willing to get closer, and invited them to a feast at the 'Silver Crown Restaurant' on Telegraph Street.

After the meal, Ricardo began to return to his territory.

…

Ricardo was on his way back.

In a small room on the second floor of the office.

Browning Panshan was smoking his pipe somewhat depressedly.

Although many counties and cities in the empire have entered the steam age, the method of wrapping tobacco in paper rolls for smoking has not yet become popular, and many local nobles still continue to smoke in traditional pipes.

"Check it out, what did Ricardo do today..."

He arranged for his subordinates to say.

After a long time, the subordinate finally came to report.

"We don't know much about the big shots involved in the Constellation Church. The only thing we can confirm is that Ricardo paid attention to many special meritorious tasks at the end today. The rewards for those tasks all involve developing territories near the Panxue Mountains..."

The subordinate reported to Browning anxiously.

"...Panxue Mountains..."

Browning Panshan frowned. As a descendant of the Panshan family, he naturally understood that the Panshan Territory, like the Binghu Territory, was on the west side of Shagang County, close to the Panxue Mountains.

"I remember that my father was very angry at Baron Frostwind who wanted to open up territory in the Panxue Mountains and be promoted to Viscount... In the end, the newly promoted Viscount chose to exchange territories with a promoted noble from Pansen County, and completed the field Promotion…”

"Perhaps, my father can know about this..."

It is not yet clear what the relationship between Ricardo and the Constellation Church is, and Browning cannot take too many actions now.

In this era, whether in the countryside or in towns, the pace of information is very slow. A story told by a bard in a tavern in a village or town may still feel fresh after being told for several months.

Regarding Ricardo's actions, just tell the family and let the elders of the family help digest the information.

For these nobles, the various information about the Game of Thrones is much more interesting than the bard's stories in the tavern.
