The Wizard: London From My Backyard

Chapter 212 The Journey Back to the Wizard Continent Begins

The lobby of the Transportation Ticketing Center is quite spacious, with multiple ticket windows, but there are not many people queuing at the moment.

Ricardo has learned that this transport ticket center belongs to the 'White Rose Family', the master family behind the manor.

Although this family is named after White Rose.

But the surname Palan was used.

That's right... Ricardo has discovered that there are many more members of the Palan clan alive than he imagined in Rinxue Province.

The number of the original Palan clan is enough to establish a country alone, and although there are many peripheral branches, the overall strength is definitely stronger than that of ordinary wizard mainland civilians, and the Storm clan, which has not yet fallen as a whole clan. So many clan members fell in the In Rinxue Province, the death rate is also normal.

Ricardo had already thought that the members of the Paran clan rescued by Binghu Leader should not be descendants of the ordinary Paran clan branches in Snowy Night City, but the Palan clan members related to Vera's hometown.

The White Rose family should have received the news of the return of Linxue Province and built such a large ticket center.

They also announced in Snowy Night City that in the next 50 years, they would unite multiple forces to build a steam railway, but this news did not make the public aware of the changes in the Snowy Province.

Many people just think that in the past few years, the bad environment in Xueye City has been cleared up a lot, and the same should be true on the ancient snowfield road. Therefore, in order to facilitate the business routes across the province, these forces want to build railways.

Many people who bought tickets here were dressed similarly to the residents of the settlement that Ricardo saw when he was in the Gray Mist Tower.

Compared with the countryside of the Knight Continent, it is naturally much more refined, but it is generally the style of the steam industry era.

Ricardo went to the ticket window.

He saw a brown wooden board erected beside it.

There is a continuous piece of white paper stuck on the wooden board. The white paper describes the information on the way to and from the ancient snowfield road in the past week: there are caravans and hitchhikers, there are separate horse-drawn carriages... and the most popular one is a method called icebreaker...

"icebreaker?"

Ricardo read out in doubt.

At this moment, the staff at the ticket window sighed.

"There used to be a river on the Snowfield Ancient Road, where there was a river flowing out of the inner sea of ​​floating ice in the center of the Wizarding Continent. After the cataclysm decades ago, the river was almost dry, but under the infiltration of the nearby snow mountain landforms, a special ice and snow swamp was formed. "

"Don't look at many of them are carriage convoys, but if you really want to pass through those ice and snow swamp areas in a straight line, the icebreaker of the White Rose family must be the fastest. It is fast, but there is no need for a horse-drawn carriage to be slow on the grassland."

"However, in order to save costs in the near future, the icebreaker ships sailed to the back of the last ice and snow swamp that is close to two-thirds of the ancient snowy road, and they still have to transfer to a supporting carriage at the back."

Ricardo looked at the staff, the staff was a middle-aged man, he was wearing a black soft hat, black and white checked uniform, and a white rose badge on his chest.

"Thank you, a full package ticket to Rand City at the end of the ancient snowy road, if you want to get there as quickly as possible, I think the fastest way is to take the icebreaker you mentioned."

Ricardo glanced at the brown sign again, and then took out more than 100 gold coins from the storage bag.

None of the various transportation channel charging methods listed on the sign is less than a few dozen gold coins.

really expensive...

Ricardo thought that in Shakang County, the mainland of the Knights, an ordinary resident might not be able to save such a cross-province travel ticket in his entire life.

Of course... this is the price in the wizarding land.

Ricardo had lived in the Wizarding Continent, so he was used to it naturally, and he knew that in some places, he even had to pay with magic stones.

"You are lucky, there will be a group of the largest icebreaker departing in the evening."

"It will take three weeks on the ship, and then it will take another three and a half weeks after landing to change the carriage. The whole journey will take about seven weeks. The icebreaker will provide four meals a day, but the carriage will not cover the latter part of the journey, so you don't need to buy a ticket. In addition to money, you have to prepare food for the later stage of the carriage journey."

"I suggest you prepare food in advance, otherwise it will be very expensive to buy temporarily in the transit town."

The staff member wearing a black soft hat reminded him that he had accepted more than 100 gold coins from Ricardo.

Although the prices in the Wizarding Continent are very expensive, those who can take out more than 100 gold coins and are willing to trek across the province alone must be adventurers of high level.

It is even possible that a noble wizard has concealed his identity, and it is not certain that he will handle a certain task for a long journey.

"Give."

The staff processed a ticket, stamped it, and handed the ticket to Ricardo through the window.

There is a special badge inlaid on the ticket, and it is not cheap to imitate it.

The staff told Ricardo that to take the icebreaker, he had to go to another building near the outer edge of the manor.

That building is called 'White Rose Wharf'.

However, if Ricardo is willing to wait here, there will be a special afternoon carriage to pick him up in two quarters of an hour.

It was still a while before evening.

There are some seats in the lobby, but it says that seats are only available to those who have already purchased tickets.

Ricardo planned to take the carriage, so he found a seat and sat down.

He saw that when he was buying a ticket, there was a middle-aged man behind him who bought a ticket right behind him.

The middle-aged man wore a black top hat on his head, but he was wearing a black knight uniform, and on his waist was a short sword with a white rose pattern on the hilt, and a cane.

Judging from his gait, the opponent has a certain extraordinary level.

Witcher?
Ricardo sensed it, and found that he could feel a few familiar auras of the witcher's seal from the other party.

At this moment, after buying the ticket, the other party came directly towards Ricardo.

The other party sat down in a seat separated from Ricardo.

He easily lifted the cane on his waist, tilted it slightly to the side, and said comfortably:
"Good afternoon, companions with fate?"

His voice sounded like that of an old friend.

Ricardo will spend a lot of time on this journey. He can't form an additional teleportation point in the Snowy Province, which is also regarded as part of the wizarding world. territory.

Nowhere else in the wizarding world can be chosen.

If he chooses to teleport back to the mirror store and then walk out, then his teleportation coordinate point in the wizarding world will be changed from Rinxue Province to outside the mirror store.

He also tested it before, asking Teresa to use the purple leaf to open the space channel, and go out through the purple leaf channel to see if it will change the teleportation point of the wizard world, and found that it will still change.

Therefore, before he put down the storm lighthouse room, he couldn't teleport randomly in the wizarding world.

But to deal with the government affairs of the territory, he can send back to the card puppet cafe and ask Teresa to bring the information to the cafe.

"good afternoon."

Ricardo also decided to experience more of the journey life on the icebreaker that he had never experienced before during this journey.

Of course, if the journey is boring, he will still run back to the modern world to do other things.

"Patrick, a witcher adventurer."

The other party greeted and exchanged canes.

Ricardo didn't want to shake hands with the other party, he just said in a casual tone, "Ricardo, a knight, can you order something from a witcher?"

He didn't mention that he was an apprentice wizard, and was almost a quasi-wizard anyway.

After all, Linxue Province originated from the Wizarding Continent, and the probability of encountering a formal wizard is much higher than that of the Knights Continent. Once exposed to the general population of the Wizarding Continent as a wizard apprentice, it will attract a lot of troublesome attention.

Although there are many wizards in the Wizarding Continent, they are not so many that you can see them everywhere.

Therefore, Ricardo did not intend to expose his identity as a wizard apprentice before arriving in the wizarding area.

To deter the enemy, it is enough for him to show off a few legendary knight or legendary demon hunter skills.

"That's right, in the past few decades, in Linxue Province, many knights have indeed learned the methods of demon hunters, in order to deal with the damned evil spirits..."

Patrick said with a smile, "This time we have good luck on this journey. I know the staff. On this journey, the White Rose family will send some children who have recently detected wizard qualifications in Snow Night City to Rand City. This is I don't know how many times they have done this in recent months, God knows why they are crazy, they have to send it so far..."

"There are not many demon hunters or knights who can spend more than 100 gold coins as icebreakers these days, and if their children have the qualifications of wizards and want to travel far, some noble elders often accompany them. They are willing to spend money to hire experts on the journey to make accompanying guards..."

When Ricardo heard this, he understood that the reason why the White Rose family was willing to send their children to Rand City across the province was naturally to let these children leave the province and return to the Wizarding Continent to join a better wizarding organization.

"Actually, there are dangers along the way, and if it interferes with the journey, we will take action."

Ricardo chatted.

"However, when they are in great danger, and when their own safety is involved, some masters will charge sky-high prices. Therefore, nobles, some people are willing to open a contract in advance. They are willing to use precious money for such an important matter. Wizard contract scroll, as long as the contract is signed, it is equivalent to an insurance in their minds. And this kind of contract can be signed by multiple people at a time, and the cost is not high for them when calculated comprehensively."

Patrick introduced.

At this time, the carriage to pick up arrived.

Both Ricardo and Patrick got into the carriage and went to the building where the 'White Rose Wharf' was located.

"It's quite interesting. However, although I lack currency, what I lack is not gold coins. Haha, I just want to enjoy this journey now."

Ricardo could see that Patrick seemed to want to introduce him to some business.

He still pointed out his own ideas in advance.

Patrick obviously choked on Ricardo's 'no shortage of gold coins'.

He also didn't realize what Ricardo meant by the lack of currency.

The carriage soon arrived at its destination.

Both Ricardo and Patrick got out of the carriage.

He found that beside the building he came to at this time, there was actually a small cliff.

He walked a few steps closer to the cliff, and found that under the cliff was a pool of water with a lot of ice floating on the surface.

A huge icebreaker is docking on the edge of a cliff.

Ricardo turned to the back of the icebreaker and looked in the direction behind the pool. It was not a glacier, but a swamp covered with a lot of snow and ice.

From the icebreaker came the force field breath of a small amount of energy spar running.

Ricardo understood that this was an icebreaker with wizard technology.

"This... wizard technology icebreaker does not require magic stones, but only gold coins to get on board... The White Rose family has really spent a lot of money to open up this trade route."

Although, Ricardo judged that the wizard technology used by the icebreaker would not be much.

But gold coins are not easy to exchange into magic stones.

The White Rose family's journey on an icebreaker will not be cheap.

However, Ricardo thought of the fact that the White Rose family used the icebreaker to transport mainly noble children with wizard qualifications in recent months, and sent them out of Rinxue Province.

It is very likely that this family mainly charges the parents of those noble children, or may also get paid by some wizarding organizations.
