Chapter 214 At night
Ricardo sat there calmly.
Although everything I saw today had a sense of novelty that I had seen for the first time.
However, he just wanted to enjoy this novelty and did not want to find anything to do.
He is not short of money either.
Along the way, his area of activity is not limited to the cabin. He can go to the Puppet Cafe and the modern world at any time.
"Okay, man, it seems that you are a rich man."
Patrick was a little stunned after hearing the rejection. Ricardo mentioned that he would help a little, which clearly hinted that his strength was not simple.
He squinted and looked at Ricardo, but couldn't find anything.
Ricardo has a complete seal of magic hunting Yinyou combined with the language of flowers to protect Yinyou. Most people who want to spy on him can basically not see anything.
Even a big shot like Vera only came to some different conclusions after a week, with Hedwig, Lyra, and many other people around her, as well as Ricardo.
Patrick did not realize how much strength Ricardo hid. He could only think that Ricardo was not short of money.
"Okay, actually I want to tell you. After arriving in Rand City, Mr. Tuva also had the idea of hiring this temporary bodyguard for a long time. This is a long-term job. Mr. Tuva's status in the White Rose Family is increasing rapidly. Ascending, the White Rose family also has the surname Paran. In addition, it is said that Rand City is also undergoing construction... In short, this task has a lot of benefits. Man, if you change your mind, you can come to me at any time, my The cabin room is..."
Patrick seemed to be used to being a broker. He quickly adjusted his mentality to Ricardo's rejection and continued to give information.
This made Ricardo have a good impression of him.
…
After the meal, Ricardo left the restaurant.
He took a walk during overtime.
Looking at the snowfield scenery on both sides, as the icebreaker moves forward, it continues to retreat.
The icy wind whined in his ears.
Ricardo, who had a legendary physique, naturally wouldn't care about this level of coldness.
Then he wandered around the ship with great interest, but mainly around the floor where his cabin was located, and the deck level.
The room he booked was not the highest-end one. The highest-end one had already been bought out when he bought it, and seemed to be occupied by Snowy Night City nobles like Mr. Tuva.
The cabin he was in was better than the lowest-grade ones, but the washroom and shower room were shared, with eight rooms corresponding to one. This made it possible for passengers to queue up for toilets and other issues. If you are in a hurry, The ship can also provide a temporary toilet...this way makes it less steampunk.
But after all, this steamship has many metal pipes laid and boilers burning, so it can supply hot water.
Having hot water makes life seem more advanced.
Ricardo returned to the guest room. He did not teleport to the modern world, but checked the recent scientific research progress of the Kia Space Evil Brain.
After the Flower Knight Puppet is awakened and upgraded to the 'Profane Puppet', the skills that Ricardo can upgrade are not limited to knight skills, but also include any blasphemous skills.
Ricardo did not quite understand what constituted blasphemy approved by Goldfinger.
If you look at the temporary awakening state, he is already a quasi-wizard, but in fact he still lacks advanced meditation methods.
It turns out that the meditation method in the Wizarding Continent is just the most popular basic meditation method.
And he found the 'Mirror Spirit Meditation Technique' obtained in the tomb behind Viscount Frostwind to be too weird. In the past two months, he had seen images of distorted Mirror Spirit faces on enemies several times.
This kind of scene made him feel a little dangerous just thinking about it.
But this meditation method is a relatively advanced one after all.
Ricardo didn't want to waste it, and he thought about it. He already had a clone of the Huayu Mirror and a Soul-Eating Control Body. In addition, he also had the Noble Phantasm Heroic Spirit clone 'Little Black Lion' that was contaminated by the power of the mirror.
He thought about whether the evil brain of the subspace could do scientific research and modify the meditation magic of the mirror spirit to remove the danger of distorting the face of the mirror spirit.
He realized that maybe the key to the Mirror Spirit meditation method was to use the distorted Mirror Spirit face to stimulate his own spirit, so as to improve his mental power over time.
"Can you replace that mirror spirit with your own heroic spirit clone, the little black lion?"
Ricardo thought of the scenes of the mirror spirit clones of Adario he had encountered in the Capricorn Palace and the Gemini Palace.
He felt that it should be feasible to use this mirror spirit clone to replace the distorted mirror spirit face and stimulate mental power.
The Subspace Evil Brain has already conducted preliminary scientific research on this idea.
Ricardo checked the current scientific research progress of the Subspace Evil Brain.
He was overjoyed with the results.
The time required to scientifically research and modify the Mirror Spirit Meditation Method was much shorter than he expected.
The reason lies in the magic modification. You only need to replace the mirror spirit with a clone of the heroic spirit that has been affected by the power of the strange mirror.
Ricardo predicted that, as the subspace evil brain has been under scientific research for some days, the Mirror Spirit Meditation Method will be successfully transformed in the near future.
He has also thought of a name for the new meditation method.
Named the Leo Young Heroic Spirit Meditation Method.
Ricardo took the opportunity to look at the progress gauge of Flower of Evil.
"Before, Devouring Flower Language consumed five slots. Each time a segment is consumed, the length of the progress slot will become longer..."
Ricardo looked at the changes in the progress of Flower of Evil and felt that Evil Thought was not enough.
He felt particularly sorry for Addario's death.
With a combat power as great as Adalio's, if he could be fully exploited before dying, I'm afraid he would be able to use the Flower of Evil for a long time.
"We still need to find ways to increase the income of evil thoughts."
Ricardo currently has the Ice Lake Territory expanded into a viscounty territory, but the expansion is in the sparsely populated areas of the Panxue Mountains, and there are not many villains.
In the modern world, the Prison Knights organization on the Prison King's side is not yet fully established.
However, he is still imprisoning some villains in the dungeon of the modern world, such as Bernard. He has not yet been executed. He is waiting for the completion of the scientific research on the heroic meditation method, and directly uses its final wave of oppression to improve the meditation method. .
…
It was nightfall the next day.
As Patrick said before, White Rose No. 7 will be repaired in place every two days.
White Rose No. 7 stopped on the ancient snowfield road.
Ricardo didn't sleep well in bed last night, and finally went to the Modern World Hotel to sleep.
That night, he wanted to see how the icebreaker was doing while it was being repaired in situ, so he did not return to the Modern World Hotel.
Ouch!
In the cabin, his keen spiritual intuition allowed him to hear the roar of wolves on the snowy field.
He sensed something might be happening outside.
Wolves?
Ricardo listened again.
This time he listened more carefully, and not only that, he also felt that as the wolves approached, there was some evil contamination influenced by the power of nightmares.
Pollution from evil thoughts?
Ricardo pondered for a moment and then walked out of the cabin.
He followed the sound to the deck.
It was already night, and in the sky of the Snowy Province, Ricardo saw two moons hanging high in the sky.
A crimson moon and a bright white moon.
This is?
When Ricardo looked at the two moons, he always felt something was different.
He bypassed several patrolling crew members and walked to the front deck of the ship. At this time, he saw Patrick, Mr. Tuva, his bodyguards, his two children, and some other knights and demon hunters. He was standing next to the railing that penetrated the front.
"Dad, the moon! Two moons. There are two moons today!"
The boy among the two children suddenly looked at the sky in surprise.
Only then did Ricardo remember.
In the past few decades in Linxue Province, only the crimson moon, which symbolized mystery, could be seen by the residents of the province. .
And with the return of the Snowy Province to the wizarding world, in addition to the crimson moon, the normal white moon can now be seen again.
This is likely to make many extraordinary people realize that Linxue Province may be undergoing changes such as a return.
The secret information that is still circulating in small circles may soon no longer be secret.
"Is this? Is Linxue Province going to return to the Wizarding Continent?"
Some demon hunters looked at the night sky in surprise and speculated.
"Don't think too much, guys, tonight we mainly want to prevent the snow wolves from attacking the ship."
Next to Mr. Tuva, a tall old man wearing a captain's uniform suddenly said.
"The combat power on the ship is limited. If there is a situation, we have to combine everyone's strength."
His voice fell.
The sailors on the ship who were wearing knight's sword armor had already arrived at the bombardment position next to the ship.
Many of the guns were loaded.
"Captain Bray, all the guns have been checked!"
the gunner shouted from a distance on the other side of the edge of the ship.
"Okay, let's release a beast destroyer first!"
"We are repairing here because it can greatly reduce the energy crystal loss of the boiler and save some magic stones for the family. If we really want to fight, it is better to destroy the ship as soon as possible. Move!"
Captain Bray commanded.
boom!
A white cannonball was blasted.
The blast reached the sky above the snowfield wolves.
The cannonball exploded, scattering a large cloud of ice mist.
Under the influence of the ice fog, many wolves whose original movement route was somewhat close to the icebreaker retreated.
Ricardo glanced around at the surrounding wolves.
Estimated.
This surprised him. There were hundreds of wolves in the snow looming in the distance, and there were wolves passing by even further away.
Under the night, pairs of scarlet eyes of these wolves flashed.
'Progress of the Flower of Evil...'
At this time, Ricardo felt that the progress value of the Flower of Evil was slowly and continuously increasing.
And the micro-domain purification force field has also been discovered.
Some of those wolves were actually eyeing the icebreaker!
And many of them can actually cause pollution with evil thoughts!
These direwolves should have third-level combat power as adults. If they have been contaminated by the power of nightmares, they should be able to exert even stronger combat power.
Ouch!
Just then, the leader of the wolf pack closest to the icebreaker roared.
boom!
Before the wolf leader had finished roaring, a cannon sounded from the icebreaker.
The howling wolf was directly hit by the cannonball.
The entire wolf body exploded into two pieces!
The nearest wolf pack, seeing this scene, took a few steps back.
Seeing the death of the wolf leader, these wolves patrolled for a while and then retreated directly to the rear.
Many of the snow wolves in the distance seemed to be afraid at this time, and the original movement routes of the wolves had some changes.
"The wolves are scared...tonight, there should be no wolf siege."
Captain Bray was holding a pair of old and simple telescopes and looking into the distance.
He put down the telescope and chatted a few more words with Mr. Tuva beside him.
Mr. Tuva’s face sank.
Then he turned around and announced a message to the crowd on the rear deck.
"Anyone who can help kill wild monsters within one kilometer of White Rose Ship No. 7 will be rewarded by the White Rose family. The corpse of the snow dire wolf will be exchanged for generous gold coins. The sailor who uses the ship to kill the most wild monsters during the entire journey, and Every time the ship stops for repairs, passengers who perform particularly well will gain the friendship of the White Rose family and receive a pot of White Rose tea!"
Mr. Tuva's words immediately caused a commotion on the deck.
Only then did Ricardo realize that there were actually quite a few knights and demon hunters on the entire ship. They were either adventurers or mercenaries like Patrick and Ricardo, or they were the guards of the wizard apprentices.
