The Wizard: London From My Backyard

Chapter 1 Return from the Wizard Continent and [Two Worlds Flower]
The Knight Continent, the Knight Empire on the West Coast, and the sea surface of the port in Shakkang County.

As the sun sets, the gentle sea breeze blows across the face.

Ricardo in a gray robe looked at the port that was getting closer in the distance.

He was standing on the prow of a huge ship hundreds of meters long and tens of meters wide.

After several months of turbulence, the ship crossed the manic stormy sea, and carried Ricardo back to the place where he left ten years ago.

'It's been ten years since I came back. '

'I remember the last time I left, I was a ten-year-old squire, shaken and puking in the cabin. '

'Although it was uncomfortable, I was selected as the seed of a wizard by the guides of the Wizarding Continent at that time, with the hope of becoming a wizard in the future, and I was happy in my heart when I was suffering physically. '

Ricardo recalled the past and smiled lonely.

'Hope is beautiful, but reality is cruel...cough...cough...'

Ricardo was halfway through reminiscing about the original scene, and suddenly coughed while clutching his chest.

After coughing a few times, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his mouth.

After a while, I took off my handkerchief and took a look.The handkerchief was black with blood.

'Alas, the future of the wizard is over, and I can only go back to my hometown to recuperate and try to prolong my life. '

Ricardo looked at the black blood on the handkerchief with bitterness on his face.

Ten years ago, as a wizard seed, he traveled across the stormy sea to the wizard continent and became a student of the wizard organization Gray Mist Tower.

Although his aptitude was neither good nor bad, after Ricardo's hard work and the experience of two lifetimes of struggle, he became an intermediate wizard apprentice in just seven years.

however……

Time, the war of planes in the wizarding world and the nightmare world.

The evil spirits of the nightmare world continue to plague all regions of the wizard continent.

After Ricardo was forced to assign a task of exorcising evil spirits, he was corrupted by the evil spirit's curse during the task.

Mental space is polluted and damaged.

After that, it would be very difficult for him to raise the wizard level again.

In the past three years, not only has he not made any progress in his wizard practice, but even his mental strength, which was originally stable at the level of an intermediate wizard apprentice, has begun to show signs of decline.

His body is also deteriorating. His physique, which has already reached the third-level junior knight level, is now vomiting blood.

"Originally, the lofty goal of my youth was to become a high-level wizard, and then see if I could turn to the path of immortal gods like some of my predecessors in the biographies, ignite the divine fire, and witness this plane war that may last tens of thousands of years in the eternal life..."

'Nowadays, when I am over twenty, I have to 'retire from old age and return to my hometown'...'

'hometown……'

Ricardo is a time traveler.

His hometown is in Shakang County in front of him, which is the 'Lord of Ice Lake' on the edge of the county.

Ricardo is the second son of the old Lord of 'Ice Lake Lordship'.

During the ten years Ricardo had been away from home, the old Lord had fallen ill and died.

It is Ricardo's elder brother who now inherits the title of lord.

However, after the old lord died of a strange illness, at this time, Ricardo's eldest brother was also seriously ill and dying.

Ricardo's elder brother has no heirs yet.

From Ricardo’s letter from his elder brother received before his departure.

If Ricardo doesn't come back, once his elder brother encounters an accident, there may be a succession dispute in the 'Ice Lake Lordship'.

Relatives in his hometown were seriously ill, and the future of the wizard was uncertain. Ricardo hurriedly embarked on the road back to his hometown after purchasing the healing potion.

……

hum.

Half an hour later, the ship docked and began lowering anchor.

It was dusk.

The entire port was covered with the afterglow of the setting sun, golden and brilliant, so dazzling.

Ricardo was a little distracted looking at the beautiful scenery, and in a daze, he found a man in a hooded black robe appeared in front of him on the left.

Under the hood is the face of a middle-aged uncle with a beard.

"Senior Paris, long time no see."

Ricardo smiled slightly and saluted the man in black.

Paris was Ricardo's guide at the beginning.

The original batch of wizard seedlings were all sent to the port by Paris, and one-third of them were wizard qualifications tested by Paris himself.

Paris was also an apprentice of the wizarding organization "Tower of Mist", and was already a senior wizarding apprentice when he left the wizarding continent.

From ten years ago to now, it seems that the opponent's level has not changed.

This is not surprising, the knight continent is poor in resources, otherwise it would not have a completely different civilization style from the wizard continent.

"Haha, Ricardo. Over the past few years, your apprentice gatherings have given me a lot of useful information."

"Next, I will try my best to help you get on the right track for your retirement life."

Paris had a hearty smile on his bearded face, and he had a completely different temperament from the gloomy look he wore in the black robe when he first met.

Ricardo felt a little relieved when he saw Paris's reaction.

Not many of the wizard seedlings he was in finally chose to develop in several areas near the gray mist towers.

Ricardo organized a small pen pal club in it by virtue of his experience as a human being in two lifetimes.

Share with each other experiences on the wizarding apprenticeship path.

Later, Ricardo even wrote a letter to Paris, the original guide, and drew Paris into the exchange of the pen pal club.

Knowledge, information... have a place that cannot be ignored on the path of wizards.

Much information that may be no more than common sense to some apprentice wizards may be treasure to others.

With this pen pal club, Ricardo also gained some trust with Paris.

At this time, the two met and communicated with each other, and became a lot more familiar with each other.

"In the past ten years, Shakang County has developed rapidly, and now it is truly the third largest port city in the empire..."

"The war between the Wizarding World and the Nightmare World has also affected the Knights Continent, and now there are often evil spirits and evil events on the mainland."

Paris and Ricardo chatted.

In his words, it was obvious that he came to find Ricardo with a purpose.

Ricardo was not surprised. Before returning to his hometown, in his letter to Paris, Ricardo hoped that the other party could introduce the channels for obtaining wizard resources in the Knights Continent in the future.

"Evil spirits, and [Nightmare Realm]?"

Ricardo captures the crucial point in Paris's discourse.

He thought of what he had been injured by the evil spirit, and his expression was a little unnatural.

"Yes."

Paris took out a black sealed bag from his arms, and Ricardo immediately recognized that it was a sealed bag of magical items.

However, the sealed bag is not the kind that is completely sealed, it looks like it can be taken out at any time.

Apparently what's inside isn't that dangerous.

Paris handed the bag to Ricardo.

"Right now, some official wizards from the Wizarding Continent are leading the establishment of an organization on the Knights Continent to target evil spirits and evil environments."

"They also issue missions, and various resources can be obtained through missions."

"Shakang County recently cleaned up a [Nightmare Realm], the evil spirits inside have been eliminated, and the remaining pollution will dissipate within a year."

Paris signaled Ricardo to take out the contents of the bag,

"This is something taken from that evil environment. It is a broken page with a little bit of evil spirit pollution. I helped you get this easy task. Your task is to monitor the changes in that evil environment through divination through this broken page in the next year."

"Once the pollution of the evil environment completely dissipates and transforms into a secret environment, the mission will be considered a success. It's a very simple mission."

Hearing this, Ricardo groped in the sealed bag, ready to take out the broken page,

"What is the name of the evil environment?"

Paris thought for a while, "It's a bit of a mouthful, it's called 'Langdon Purple Flower Island Cafe'."

"Langdon?"

"Lang... Dun?"

Ricardo felt that the name was a bit special.

"This word, it is said, was said by the evil spirits in the evil realm when they were exorcised."

Paris explained.

Ricardo expressed his understanding that information about the Nightmare World has now spread a lot in the Wizarding Continent.

When the nightmare world erodes a plane, it will first pollute some areas in the plane, cross these areas with the wizard world to form a bad environment, and then put it in the wizard world.

"It is estimated that 'Lang Dun' is the place name of another world eroded by the nightmare world. It is a pity that the evil environment is completely closed, and the wizard world has not been able to enter the world behind the evil environment through the evil environment."

At this time, the remaining pages were taken out.

A piece of tattered yellowed letter paper with words different from the world of wizards.

Ricardo glanced at the torn page, paused in his hand, the pupils in his eyes shrank indistinctly, then pretended to be casual, and threw the torn page back into the sealed bag.

"Okay, for the rest, let's talk about it later."

"I opened an office in the county town, waiting to be merged by the wizard-led organization in the future, and then I also set up a small library and an apprentice club. After you go back to the lord's land and pack your luggage, you can take a look."

"An apprentice wizard, no matter what, must have access to resources and information."

After confirming that Ricardo had put the broken pages back in the sealed bag, Paris turned and said goodbye.

A gust of wind blows.

Paris disappeared in place.

……

The afterglow of the setting sun falls.

Ricardo turned sideways and looked at the distant sea.

His hands were trembling unconsciously.

After calming down for a while.

He took out the broken page from the sealed bag again.

"That's right..."

Ricardo's hands trembled, translating the text on the broken page.

this text...

It was the English he was familiar with in his previous life.

And the translation of some English phrases on the broken page is:

London... Travelogue... Magic...

…Leaky Cauldron Lane, Honeyell University…

at the same time.

A mechanical voice appeared in Ricardo's mind.

'I found an evil item from another world, the template is activated, and the evil is being absorbed...'

As the sound ended, an information panel appeared in Ricardo's mind.

Name: Ricardo
Physique: 7.5, Spirit: 12
Related: None
Talent: New Territories clone

Clone: ​​Evil Flower of Two Realms (The main flower language has not been awakened)

Flower language: none
Flower of Evil: 2%...3%... (absorb evil thoughts, when the accumulation is full, you can devour flower language or awaken)

Inside the gray robe on Ricardo's arm, an illusory vine with a gray sunflower growing around it.

The tentacles of the phantom vines branched out and were entangled on the broken page...

Flower of Evil: 3%…4%…

Absorbing evil thoughts...

'My goldfinger...it...was awakened just like that? '
