The Witcher: My backyard leads to London

Chapter 3: Absorbing Curse, Evil Thoughts and Andrew

A mechanical voice sounded in my mind.

Ricardo had already imagined Goldfinger last night.

After all, Goldfinger should be the embodiment of the program he wrote before time travel.

The main flower language of the clone "Evil Flower of Two Worlds" is "Evil of Another World", which can help him lock in and travel to other worlds.

After the main flower language awakens, the flower of evil will accumulate more evil thoughts in the future, and it can also allow the main flower language to awaken at a deeper level.

Or swallow the flower language of other plants and give them talents.

‘You actually locked onto the alien world where the fragment of the page originated? ’

Ricardo was a little surprised to see that he could go directly to and from Leaky Cauldron Lane in London.

'London……'

Ricardo was full of curiosity about this alien world with the same city and place names as in his previous life.

However, he did not choose to teleport immediately.

He's in trouble now.

Moreover, it is also necessary to do some divination and take some safety measures before taking risks.

All this can be done at night when you are alone.

Ricardo watched the maid in front of him open the door to the Lord's bedroom.

Go straight into the Lord's bedroom.

Ricardo glanced at the bedroom environment.

The Lord's bedroom is the largest of all the bedrooms in the castle.

Thick red velvet curtains hung on the stone walls. The curtains were half opened, and the sun shone in through the glass windows, creating shadows on the floor. Although the light was good, the maid still lit the candlestick for this visit. The three candles on the top are used to fill in the light.

The Lord's bed was also covered with a red velvet blanket.

Ricardo saw Lord Andrew lying ill on the bed, with a basin of water placed on the copper-lacquered table beside the bed.

Andrew is five years older than Ricardo, but the haggard appearance of the other person at this moment makes him look more than ten years older.

"Andrew. I'm back."

"Brother...Ricardo...just come back...I already know about Feng Lang bringing the guests..."

Andrew saw Ricardo's face, which he had not seen for a long time, and his eyes shone a little. He tried his best to cheer up and sit up straight, and then chatted with Ricardo.

"... Just come back, just come back... Two years ago, Cohen, who went to the Wizarding Continent with you to practice in the county town, came back and heard about your situation from him. A few months ago, I went to the county town and met Paris, I also asked you about things..."

"The doctor said that my health is very poor and I may not be able to survive much longer. Compared to your situation, we two brothers are in the same boat..."

Ricardo was a little surprised that Andrew already knew about his injury.

But considering that Shagang County is a port city after all, it is not surprising that many of those who chose to return to their hometown after the setback in the Wizarding Continent were teenagers whose hometown was in the port city. They often brought back a lot of information.

Ricardo sat on the chair that the maid had prepared, and then took out a magic item storage bag from his wizard's black robe. He had been using this magic item for many years.

He took out a row of potions from the storage bag, placed them on the small copper-lacquered table on one side, and picked out two from them.

After all, Ricardo was a man of two lives, and he even held a pen pal group and acted as an information broker for many years.

His net worth is much richer than that of an average mid-level wizard apprentice.

Two of the potions were prepared for Andrew's physical condition.

"...Now that I'm back, let's make up my mind. I can still hold on for a while. The territory still has to be handed over to our own family. After I leave, you will be the lord. Recently, you will follow me to handle many administrative matters in the territory. There are old housekeepers, tax collectors, etc., please take a look... my plan for you..."

Andrew rambled on, probably because of his physical condition. As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the top of the classical bed, squinted his eyes slightly, and tried his best to speak as much as possible.

"Andrew..."

"I brought back a healing potion from the Wizarding Continent. Although the level is not high, it should be useful. Just in case, I also prepared a potion that can dispel low-level curses..."

Ricardo interrupted Andrew's ramblings.

He directly took the two potions he picked and sat next to Andrew.

"Potion?"

Andrew opened his eyes, widened his eyes, and looked in the direction of Ricardo.

He did not expect that Ricardo could have the medicine to save him.

At this moment, Ricardo was sitting next to him with two potions and a wizard's staff.

"Let's see if there is a curse first... You and your father have fallen ill one after another, and the surrounding territories..."

Ricardo closed his eyes and used a zero-ring trick 'Divination' on Andrew.

To become a low-level wizard apprentice, in addition to meeting the mental strength requirements, you also need to learn three wizard tricks and engrave a trick model inscription in the mental space.

To upgrade to an intermediate wizard apprentice, you need to learn six wizard tricks and have three trick model inscriptions engraved in the spiritual space.

As an intermediate wizard apprentice, Ricardo mastered eight tricks and had four trick model inscriptions in the spiritual space.

Divination is one of them.

The engraved zero-ring trick can be cast at a faster casting speed.

"Sure enough, there is a bit of curse influence."

"Andrew, drink this potion first."

Andrew's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he made a squeaking sound. His eyes were a little red. At this time, his brother handed him the potion. He didn't think much and drank the potion obediently.

Ricardo watched Andrew take the potion and then waited for a while.

Andrew's face turned rosy.

A stream of black energy emerged from Andrew's left arm and dispersed into the air.

‘Detected a little curse and evil thoughts, started absorbing it! ’

Flower of Evil: 1% → Flower of Evil: 9%…

"Sure enough, there is a problem. It seems that someone is behind my brother's illness, or even his father's death."

Ricardo heard the sound of machinery and then saw the progress of the Flower of Evil increase by a few percentage points.

It's not much, but it's better than nothing.

At this time, the Flower of Evil is still slowly uprooting the pollution of evil thoughts deep in his mental space. Although the speed has slowed down, the progress of the Flower of Evil is still increasing.

"Drink this potion again."

Ricardo handed Andrew another potion.

"younger brother……"

Andrew's face was already rosy. He stretched out more parts of his body with some excitement, and then drank the new potion given by Ricardo in one gulp.

More than ten minutes later, Ricardo watched with satisfaction as Andrew regained a lot of strength and sat on the bed.

"The rest are just symptoms of cold and cold. If you rest for a few months, you will definitely be able to live for more than ten years. Andrew, if your knight level can be improved by one more level, your body should be able to return to the state before the illness. …”

"It's just a small curse, and the level involved seems to be at the apprentice level at most... No matter how powerful it is, there is no need to bother. For wizards with higher levels, it can be solved directly or there is a method that leaves no trace..."

Ricardo smiled for the first time after entering the room.

"Thanks!"

Andrew was shocked that his body had recovered a lot, but he also looked at Ricardo with trust.

"...Brother, I didn't expect my body to return to its previous state... Since you still want me to continue to work harder, I can only let it go... After hearing that you are back, the in-laws of our Binghu family are here. Last month, the family’s daughters were sent to be your personal maids. Unfortunately, one of them fell into a bad situation and disappeared halfway...and the knight families below also sent a few..."

"Those, before your sister goes to the Royal Capital Knight Academy, I asked her to help you screen... Now that you are all back, you have to plan your life events. Which noble lady..."

Ricardo heard Andrew mention the word planning again.

He covered his face in amusement.

When he was a child, Andrew always took good care of him and his sister, and he was so nagging at that time.

During the ten years he traveled away from home, Ricardo also learned from Paris that Andrew's wife died in childbirth and his sister was admitted to the Royal Capital Knights Academy early.

Without loved ones, the stubbornness of people is further strengthened.

"Andrew, on the journey across the storm sea and back to the mainland, I have found a way to treat the injuries I suffered. Now I am almost healed. In the next few years, I may even be promoted to a senior wizard apprentice."

"Does Paris know?"

"I don't know yet, because it's not completely healed and it will take some time."

Hearing that Ricardo's body had also solved a major problem, Andrew's eyes widened even more happily.

"Then we need to carefully plan what happens after you become a senior wizard apprentice in the future. That is a figure comparable to a great knight. I think you can even consider a young lady from the Viscount family..."

Andrew was cheerful and at the same time related the topic to major life events.

Ricardo smiled wryly and waved his hand.

"Andrew, you have seen what happened just now. Your injury this time is not simple. Although it only involves the wizard apprentice level, I went to the port yesterday and found some information along the way. Several territorial lords near the ice lake , the past two years have been somewhat weird."

"Now is not the time for romance, Andrew. I need the support of the territory, whether it is finding the truth behind this incident, revenge on the conspirators, or the next journey of being a wizard..."

Ricardo reminded Andrew that things were not simple this time.

Andrew also calmed down when he mentioned revenge.

"Ricardo, you can do it with confidence and boldness. You can use the 'Flower Manor' next to the castle as your laboratory, and the territory's military force will be deployed by you. As for the gold coins, you can go directly to the inner treasury or find the tax officer. .If the tax official refuses to listen to you, I will take a whip and slap his ass hard!..."

In this way, Ricardo took over many powers in the territory from Andrew.

Now Andrew still needs to recuperate, and he has no energy to focus on territorial affairs.

Ricardo was also happy to accept it.

Regarding the territory, it is not becoming the lord that is most useful to him.

Ricardo Now that the wizard's path has been restored and he has a golden finger, this rural territory is only a temporary place of cultivation.

Under the Wizard's Path, the realm ultimately becomes a component that supports his Wizard's Path, and Andrew, as his trusted relative, is better able to make this component work for him.

Today, when treating Andrew, Ricardo had foreseen most of the situations.

The only thing he didn't expect was that his fellow apprentice who returned to his hometown two years ago would actually spread the news about his injury.

The spread may not be widespread, but the news that a wizard's future is blocked due to injury may cause some people in Sargang County to misjudge his potential.

‘It’s important to improve yourself first. If someone really misjudges, they will have to rely on their improved strength to fight back. ’

Ricardo looked at the panel information in his mind and felt slightly reassured.
