The second malicious fragment of Chapter 21 (please read it later)
is him!
Ricardo immediately identified the source of his evil thoughts.
Was it when Cohen called him by his name just now that the other party judged his identity?
Yes, that should be that time.
For a little person like me, there is no need for someone to use extraordinary objects to record his image against him.
But if you can tell your identity just by hearing your name, it means that the other person already knows what your identity means.
He has already developed ill will towards this identity.
Having been in the Wizarding Continent for many years, Ricardo has always been cautious about any potential enemies that show hostility.
He did not directly choose to go up and explore the reason.
Instead, as he walked toward Cohen, he thought about the possible motives behind his malice.
Is it a matter of territorial inheritance in the lordship?
Is it the enemy he once provoked in the Wizarding Continent, or the enemy who appeared out of nowhere in the past few days?
Or maybe he directly or indirectly robbed some treasure?
Ricardo felt ridiculous about his supposed motives when he thought that he had only been back for three days.
He walked up to Cohen.
"Ricardo, long time no see."
The frail green-haired young man sat on a chair in the back. Next to him was a table like a food stall.
There are several books and newspapers on the table.
One of the newspapers Ricardo saw was the pen pal newspaper he wrote before leaving the Wizarding Continent.
The information pen pal meetings between apprentices he organized in the Wizarding Continent for the past ten years were carried out through this method of regularly collecting information in a pen pal newspaper, and by connecting all parties to exchange information and arrange private chats.
Shagang County is a port city, and ships travel between the Knight Continent and the Wizard Continent every year.
So some letters from wizards can be passed on, including this kind of pen pal newspaper.
After writing the last PenPal newspaper before returning home, he handed over the PenPal organization to other apprentices.
"..."
Ricardo looked at the frail green-haired young man and said nothing.
He narrowed his eyes and sat on the seat next to the green-haired young man.
At this moment, he had judged by comparing his mental power that the green-haired young man Cohen was still a junior wizard apprentice.
When he left the Wizarding Continent two years ago, he was a junior wizard apprentice, and he still is.
"Cohen, if you had spent your usual gossip time on wizard training, you wouldn't be still a junior wizard apprentice now." Ricardo's
tone was quite rude, "I have only been back to Shagang County for three days, and my attendant Just tell me that my in-laws in the neighboring county also know that I chose to return to my hometown because my mental space was damaged." "The only
people who know about my affairs are you and Paris, and Paris is not like you who doesn't keep secrets. People!"
Listening to Ricardo's question, the green-haired young man Cohen was a little confused.
He realized that this was Ricardo accusing him of spreading news and causing trouble for him. Then he subconsciously said,
"I'm sorry. But this happened sooner or later. I told you before I returned home that we In the end, everything will return to the ordinary..."
"Isn't it right now? I'm still a junior apprentice who is stuck at the bottleneck of an intermediate wizard apprentice. And you, even though you have made a lot through pen pals over the years, you should be four years behind the breakthrough of the intermediate apprenticeship. In the inscription stage, no progress can be made..." "
... Back then, when we were in the cabin heading to the Wizarding Continent, didn't we agree that if there was no way, we would all be salted fish together..."
Cohen said, but saw Ricardo's expression. Obviously unhappy, staring at the newspaper in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and his voice became softer.
"According to your personality, you should have used the information you got from the pen pal meeting and exchanged a lot of things at the apprentice gathering here..." "I think you may not be suitable for our circle
..."
Although Ricardo said The organization of the Pen Pal Society was passed on to other apprentices, but they still have influence over the loose organization.
It is still easy for the other apprentices he has entrusted to expel a junior apprentice who has already left the Wizarding Continent to withdraw from the association.
It's just a letter.
"No, no, I know I'm wrong..."
Cohen immediately surrendered in a low voice, "You are the boss of the pen pal club, and you will always be my boss."
"You know that although I have a bad mouth, I have always been an informant in low-level circles. , I can do any chores you want me to do."
"You're here to see Paris, right? Paris had a temporary task of expelling evil spirits last night and was hampered. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back today. Today's business So if you have anything important, you can find Lorient or Miss Vera on the third floor."
Cohen was like a chameleon, with a flattering expression on his face.
Ricardo was silent for a long time, glared at Cohen fiercely, and then turned around and said.
"Come to the third floor with me first."
"Let me ask you something by the way."
Ricardo stood up.
Let the green-haired young man Cohen follow him out of this room.
The two of them walked towards the door. As the one-eyed boy passed by, Ricardo glanced at each other again from the corner of his eye.
At this time, the other party and his companion were chatting happily, and their eyes swept over Ricardo, perfectly covering up his unkindness.
Walk outside the room on the third floor.
Ricardo asked Cohen:
"Who is the apprentice wearing the one-eyed mask on the second floor? He asked you the reason why I returned to my hometown, right? He also knows about my injury, right?" Cohen was stunned, obviously a little bit interested in
Ricardo's acumen. Accident.
He wanted to subconsciously quibble, but he paused and finally held it back. After thinking for a while, he replied,
"He did ask about you. His nickname is 'One-Eyed Marten', and he is from the Thieves Guild. He is indeed related to You are a bit unmanageable."
"In the past two years, there have been several evil incidents in Shagang County. Investigators from several major churches and official departments have found out that these are all related to the 'Evil Thief Cult'. This is Whenever an evil organization has a conspiracy in a place, it will often recruit the local thieves guild to serve as a peripheral organization and operative." "So, the thieves guild in
Shagang County was banned. Those teenagers were originally trained by the local thieves guild. Wizard Apprentice, now that the Thieves Guild has been banned, they have been officially assigned to work in the office. They formed a small group. They originally planned to take over the 'Cafe Divination Task' entrusted to you by Paris, but you were Here..."
Ricardo was a little strange. He didn't expect that the commissioned task that Paris gave him was so popular.
"Just an ordinary divination task?"
Ricardo took out the demonized seal bag given by Paris from his arms to confirm that he was not mistaken.
"ordinary?"
"Do you know how many times the Holy See, the Constellation Church, and several vigilante teams from other counties failed in that evil situation, and how many people were lost? In the end, it is said that special talents were dispatched! On the third floor Miss Vera was probably the last special talent sent by the Constellation Church at that time. Now she is sitting in the office to see how things will develop." "
That evil situation is not simple. Many forces in the nearby counties are very concerned about that evil situation. I'm interested, and I plan to see if I can buy it after converting it into a secret realm in the future. At least a cafe secret realm is quite suitable for a stronghold." Hearing
this, Ricardo unconsciously touched the demonized seal bag.
He remembered that this evil place that was mistakenly called the 'Langdun Purple Flower Island Cafe', from his perspective, was able to activate the golden finger that he had not activated for so many years. From this perspective It's worth paying attention to.
"Actually, there are two places for the 'Cafe Divination Task', but this task has been entered into the task list of the Exorcist Alliance. After the task is completed, it may be obtained by the Exorcist Alliance that merged the office in the future. A certain amount of merit. In order to let you monopolize these merits, and the task itself is not difficult, Paris did not arrange for a new trustee to choose." "
You have this demonized seal bag, and Miss Vera has another one, that is The second place that was originally planned."
Is the organization that the firm will merge into in the future really the Exorcist Alliance?
There is another magic seal bag.
Ricardo remembered that when Golden Finger awakened, the initial 14% of the Flower of Evil progress he obtained came from the broken pages with evil thoughts in the sealed bag.
There is one more now.
This means that once he gets it, the Flower of Evil will be able to advance by more than ten points?
Flower of Evil progress: 85% → Coming soon...?
