Chapter 285: Temporary return to his hometown of Ice Lake leads
him to the hell inheritance memory, which contains some contract-type spells.
The devils of Hell are experts in contract magic, although devil's contracts often have sinister plots.
But what Ricardo wanted was better contract effects.
Ricardo briefly explained to Patrick, and then asked him to sign a confidentiality contract with himself.
"Tina and Baker have been saved?! Did you save them?"
Patrick was shocked to know that Ricardo had purified the evil environment.
Because he hid in the cafe, he missed Tina Baker. Patrick had a way to contact the two children, and he immediately started to contact them.
"You settle them well, and then explain the identity of Parambetta and me, the masked man, as friends of the apprentice caravan. Then there should be two top apprentices beside the two children. You let those two people be there. Apprentice caravan name."
"I still need to go to Linxue Province now. Send a message to the White Rose Chamber of Commerce to arrange the fastest carriage."
After Ricardo arranged the task for Patrick, he rushed directly to Linxue Province. Near the entrance to Snow Province.
He found the White Rose Chamber of Commerce, then took a carriage directly to the other side of the black mausoleum at the entrance.
The next thing he wanted to do was to solve the Dragon Whale Family's mission:
to enter the strange carriage world and use the spell scroll that emits the coordinate signal, and then see if he could rescue the Dragon Whale Family's Alice.
He has now purified the evil realm of the steam train. If he completes this task for the Dragon Whale Family, he will directly lock in the highest honor of the annual trial.
The Dragon Whale Family has said before that the rescue mission is regarded as a mission on the Bad Situation List.
If Ricardo gets the highest honor and completes this task, then he should be able to apply for a good low-level wizard tower when he applies for a wizard tower. According to Alleria, he can even apply for two wizard towers with two identities.
Moreover, the annual trial currently held by Old Rand is itself a points competition. Among the rewards for redeeming points, there are permission rewards related to the Wizard Tower.
…
Riding a carriage, Ricardo returned to Linxue Province and entered the valley before the Black Tomb.
At this time, the valley was already a metropolitan built-up area.
The driver of the carriage told Ricardo that the urban built-up area in the valley had been connected to Rand County, the end point of the Snowfield Trail.
And the steam train railway from the valley to Snow Boat Town is about to be completed.
"This also means that the news of Linxue Province's return to the Wizarding Continent should have been widely spread within the province, instead of being limited to a few noble circles as before." "With the spread of the information, the Knights Continent and
Wizards On the mainland, the areas near the entrances and exits on both sides will also have more and more people coming and paying attention, and they are bound to become more and more prosperous." "
Perhaps, there are some residents of Linxue Province now trying to use the temporary entrances and exits of Ice Lake Territory. , Heading to the Knights Continent..."
Ricardo thought of this and returned to the Puppet Cafe in the middle, asking Teresa to summarize some of the recent information in Sarport County into a briefing.
Return to the valley again.
Ricardo found one of the most famous witcher bars in the area in the urban built-up area near the valley, and then began to inquire about the information.
The Vigil Investigation Bureau itself is a group of demon hunters that connects with the old Rand.
Now the mission of the Dragon Whale Family of the Old Rand Vigil Investigation Bureau has been made known to everyone in the circles of demon hunters, knights, mercenaries, etc. in the Old Rand.
Especially the circle of demon hunters, there must be a lot of information.
On his way to the Wizarding Continent, Ricardo had already been involved in a strange carriage situation and obtained an extra teleportation point.
In fact, he can teleport inside at any time and directly complete the task of transmitting the coordinate signal of the evil environment.
However, he planned to complete the rescue mission incidentally.
The evil scene of the strange carriage is said to be very large, involving several carriages transporting wizard apprentices to a port and then transferred to a mysterious area.
Her Royal Highness Alice of the Dragon Whale Family was involved. Even if Ricardo entered the evil realm now, facing this huge evil realm, he might not be able to find him right away.
However, Ricardo has hope in the darkness of the language of flowers, and draws his sword to death in the third stage of the language of flowers.
The flower language "Hope in the Dark" requires him to be in a bad environment, constantly polluted by it, accumulate purifying joy, and finally see a picture of the way forward as he becomes increasingly calm.
But in a bad situation, after finally seeing the picture of the way forward that is needed, the most effective way to achieve the goal in the picture may be to use the draw sword to death.
But it would be better to find a way to kill him with his sword right from the start.
The premise of using Huayu's sword-drawing duel is that there needs to be a target nearby who can duel.
It is impossible for Ricardo to choose Alice as the duel partner. The consequence of doing so would be the death of the mission target.
"The ideal situation is to understand the reason why Alice was on the snow-covered grassland in the first place, and then who was around her, who was involved in the strange carriage, and whether there are villains among them who are worthy of a duel."
The most direct way that Ricardo thinks of to solve the problem now is to find a villain who may be around Alice or a monster that can be killed, such as a monster.
Then after entering the evil realm, he directly draws his sword and fights to the death to see if he can find Alice with the help of Golden Finger.
Then take the other person out of the bad situation.
Of course, if there is no one around Alice who can be used as a duel partner, then Ricardo still has to accumulate purifying joy in a bad situation, become calm, and then rely on the language of flowers in the dark to see the picture of the road ahead. Ricardo spent two days in the bar of the valley.
For the past two days, he stayed at the Modern World Hotel, so he didn't need to worry about resting.
In terms of information collection, he had Patrick lead the men from the White Rose Chamber of Commerce to run errands.
The Dragon Whale family is somewhat vague about what Alice was doing on the snow-covered grassland before she disappeared.
It seems that there is something unspeakable involved, and he doesn't want to reveal what the other party is doing.
Who was around the other party? Even when Ricardo arranged for people to inquire about him, he refused to reveal even a single detail.
However, after all, Ricardo was not a lone wolf mercenary. He had a bunch of people running errands.
On the second night, he learned a piece of news:
Before Alice disappeared, she was in Snow Ship Town with members of the Storm Clan who came from the entrance to the Knights Continent.
As for those members of the Storm Clan who came from the entrance to Knight Continent, someone heard in a bar in Snow Boat Town that one of them was wanted by some extraordinary forces in Knight Continent half a month ago. The other party was not the Marquis of Storm, but Just a Storm Lord.
Hear the news.
Ricardo immediately moved the Storm Beacon Bad Room to a small rented courtyard near the valley.
Then he teleported back to the Ice Lake Territory.
More than three months have passed since he quietly headed to the Wizarding Continent from the Ice Lake Territory.
He did not announce this matter to the outside world.
For more than three months, he relied on Teresa at the Pai Puppet Cafe to deliver news, and he also handled some necessary official business at the Pai Puppet Cafe.
In fact, after he was able to place the Storm Beacon Evil Room on the Wizarding Continent, he could teleport back to his hometown.
However, at that time, Ricardo considered that he was not a wizard yet, and the transportation facilities on the ancient snowfield road had just begun to improve. If he was too eager to appear in Shagang County, it would be easier for him to expose his ability to teleport over long distances.
Nowadays, with the construction of steam trains and railways on the Snowfield Ancient Road, aerial airships are still testing and traveling back and forth at the risk of transforming into evil environments... Ricardo saw from Snowy Night County on the Snowfield Ancient Road
to Rand County at this end, The round trip time is getting shorter and shorter.
"It's time to show up in Shagang County, but you still have to be cautious enough and show up in the territory first." In
Shagang County for many years, one official wizard was enough to suppress the entire county.
But Ricardo thought that there was a Libra saint from the Constellation Church like Miss Vera. Although the incident of the Evil Thief Cult had come to an end, he still needed to be careful enough.
Flowery Manor.
Study next to the master bedroom.
After more than three months, Ricardo appeared in the study again.
He walked to the window of the study and saw the familiar scene in the Flower Manor. For a moment, he felt as if he was in another world.
"Lord!"
Theresa walked in wearing the uniform of a maid.
The Lord she called actually had two meanings: one was about the Ice Lake Territory, and the other was about the Purgatory Lord.
"Regarding the Evil Thief Cult incident three months ago, the investigation results and related handling have come out." "
According to the conclusion of the official joint investigation team, relevant personnel of the Storm Clan, Ocean Church and God of War Church were detained by the Evil Thief Cult. Bewitched, causing some members to betray the force... The traitors have all fled Shagang County. Near the temporary entrance and exit of the Ice Lake Territory, people from the Parlan clan have seen people with the characteristics of members of the Storm clan and forced their way in... Now, The entrance and exit of the black mausoleum in Shagang County has also been cleared. During the cleanup process, some people also saw related wanted traitors, who relied on the black mausoleum to enter the Snow Province..." "...The traitor headed by the Storm Clan is the Storm Marquis
Tagu La..."
"...Storm Sir Takino and others also defected with Tagula... These people are already wanted..."
Takino?
In Therese's report, Ricardo captured this personal pronoun.
In the previous mission in the snowy night forest, Takino had caused him trouble.
If the other party defected...
then among the Storm Clan members Alice met in Snow Ship Town, would there be the other party?
When Ricardo felt like it, he could go to Snow Boat Town to do some divination.
Or, after he teleports directly into the evil realm.
It's a direct duel to the death with sword drawn, and the duel partner is Takino.
If the opponent is not nearby, Draw the Sword to Death cannot be activated.
This can also be confirmed.
"What on earth did these traitors from the Evil Thief Cult and the Storm Clan Ares Church want to do in the evil realm of the Mirror Temple? Is there any conclusion from the investigation team?" Ricardo continued to ask
.
