The Wizard: London From My Backyard

Chapter 85 Entering Game of Thrones (for further reading)
The black-robed female knight of the harp walked to Cohen's body.

She walked around the body.

The blue-golden flame gradually extinguished.

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

"The curse of the evil spirit that he suffered has nothing to do with the nightmare or the Thieves' Cult..."

"This curse, it looks like, is a bit similar to the tomb of the vampire's undead servants dug near the Panxue Mountains..."

The female knight in black robe looks like Ricardo.

"Let's clean up the corpse. This unlucky apprentice, please follow the normal compensation arrangements for death in battle... If you are willing, you can continue to investigate more..."

"However, if there is no connection with the Thief Sect, the meritorious service will not be high..."

After the female knight in black robe finished speaking, it didn't matter how the people on the second floor reacted, she walked straight to the door.

As if what happened just now, it was just a trivial matter.

"Olly."

"Put this all in a special body bag."

Before the female knight could leave completely, Ricardo immediately greeted her.

He walked over to where Cohen had been sitting by the window and put away the tabloid copy of his pen pal club on the table.

"I, as the vice-captain of the Demon Hunter Knight, will continue to investigate the matter of Cohen being cursed by the evil spirit!"

Ricardo held the tabloid and signaled to the witcher knights who got up one after another,

"During the course of this investigation, I also plan to arrange someone in the Demon Hunter Knight to take over the work of information broker that Cohen previously assumed..."

"If you are interested in knowing, you can register with Oli later. As the vice-captain, I will not treat anyone who can help me during this time."

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

Now he is starting to bow down and enter the game.

Since Vera wanted to have such a big plan in the land of the Panxue Mountains, she had to let the leader of the ice lake undertake a series of tasks in the future.

In any case, Ricardo will be involved in the future distribution of Shakkang County's interests.

If Vera can really create the so-called stable entrance and exit of the secret realm on that land, the secret realm business that may be involved in the future will affect all aspects of Shacon County.

If the ice lake has income, it will definitely have an impact on other forces.

Since you are finally going to enter the game, then enter!

Ricardo wanted to stay out of the matter before because there was no profit to be made. It was enough for him to engage in cheating and crossing the two worlds with peace of mind.

But now, it is driven by enough interests: meritorious exchange of precious wizard resources, territorial expansion, and Vera's support.

The situation has changed.

'Either you don't enter; if you want to enter, you have to show the appearance of participating in the game of power. '

Ricardo thought...

...Browning looked at Ricardo's posture, obviously wanting to make a difference in the Demon Hunter Knight.

Suddenly stunned.

The subordinate behind him has helped him pick up the saber on the ground.

Browning didn't even go to pick up the saber handed by his subordinates. He was eager and walked directly in front of Ricardo.

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

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

Browning gritted his teeth while saying Ricardo's name.

Ricardo evidently played him along.

It also caused him to be swept away in public today.

"Ha ha…"

Ricardo smiled, and he took out more than a dozen information trading newspapers from when he was a pen pal club in the Wizarding Continent from his storage bag.

These newspapers were larger and better produced than the tabloids on Cohen's desk.

"You needn't worry, Major Browning."

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

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

Like Browning, Li Jia emphasized his identity as a wizard apprentice, and then he paused,
"... After all! I am the lieutenant colonel's deputy team of the Demon Hunter Knights, and I will think about everyone's development."

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

Ricardo directly set up a purification ceremony circle on the second floor with magic stones, just like what Paris had done on the third floor.

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

But the head is still a bit unclean.

Ricardo quickly arranged the ceremony.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the demon hunter knights, he showed his strength as a wizard apprentice, and used the purification ceremony to purify the head part of Cohen's corpse.

The Ollie siblings were surrounded by the group of righteous mercenary knights gathered by Paris.

This team of witcher knights, unlike the team of noble origin, is relatively rare for spellcasters to cast spells.

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

Ricardo's spellcasting proved the strength of the wizard apprentice in front of them, plus the dual natural identities of the vice-captain of the witcher knight and the lieutenant colonel.

In addition, the sword fight that embarrassing Browning just now has initially established prestige in front of everyone.

…Flowers of Evil: 292%
With the malice of Cohen's death, the absorption of the evil spirit's curse, and Browning's malice, Ricardo has gained a lot in this circle.

It's just that the whole process can't call out the evil flower puppet to participate, otherwise you can also improve the breathing method by the way.

…When Ricardo cast the spell just now, Browning had already walked away.

It didn't take long for Teresa to exchange the corresponding bounties in various institutions with the head of the bandit group.

The bounty was exchanged for several bags of gold coins.

The mountain wolf bandit group, transferred from the mountain wolf mercenary group, has been wandering around the two counties of Shagang County and Pansen County for a long time these years, using the Panxue Mountains and Panxue Forest as a basis for advancing and retreating, which has brought huge losses to the business travel between the two counties, not to mention things like territorial looting.

Teresa only made a brief report as required, but Ricardo could imagine the shock caused by her suppression of bandits in the county council, the county office, and the adventurer's guild.

Getting closer to Teresa, Ricardo brought Ollie and his siblings, as well as the witcher knight who was willing to come closer, and invited a big meal at the 'Silver Crown Restaurant' on Telegraph Street.

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

...

Ricardo was on his way back.

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

Browning Panshan was smoking his pipe gloomily.

Although many counties and cities in the empire have entered the age of steam, the way of smoking tobacco wrapped in paper rolls has not yet become popular, and many local nobles still continue the traditional way of smoking with 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 of the Constellation Church. The only thing we can confirm is that Ricardo paid attention to many special meritorious missions at the end today. The rewards of those missions all involve opening up territories near the Panxue Mountains..."

The subordinate reported anxiously to Browning.

"...Panxue Mountain Range..."

Browning Panshan frowned. As a child of the Panshan family, he naturally understood that the Panshan Territory, like the Binghu Territory, was located on the west side of Shakang County, near the Panxue Mountains.

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

"Perhaps, this matter can let Father know..."

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

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

Regarding Ricardo's actions, tell the family and let the old people in the family help digest the information.

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