Chapter 4 Traveling through London (seeking follow-up reading)
...
it’s already night.
The conversation between Ricardo and Andrew lasted for a long time, and by the time Ricardo was about to have dinner, the other members of the family in the castle had already rested.
Ricardo kept the golden finger in mind, and after a casual meal, he returned to his bedroom to rest.
He told the maid not to let anyone disturb him while he was resting.
Ricardo looked at the layout of the bedroom and felt a little familiar.
However, when he was tested for wizard qualifications ten years ago, his room in the castle was changed. The old lord gave him a guest room in the castle that was second only to the lord's bedroom in size.
The room in front of him only imitated the layout of his former bedroom.
The overall environment of the castle is gloomy.
Facing the candlestick with candles in the room, Ricardo felt a little depressed.
Without much delay, Ricardo immediately began preparations for traveling to another world.
First, Ricardo cast a trick on himself - 'divination'.
Among the four tricks engraved in his mental space, this is the one he uses the most.
Other 'Energy Spells', 'Stun Spells', and 'Mage's Hands' are not used as much as this one.
In order to further enhance the effect of this divination, Ricardo rarely used many magic materials, such as herbs, essential oils, powders, hydrosols, etc.
There are four tricks that Ricardo inscribed and eight that he mastered. Four of them are not inscribed and generally require the use of magic materials to assist in spell casting.
In this divination, he asked his subconscious mind whether there was any danger in traveling through time.
What he wants to do is related to the golden finger, and the golden finger is part of his spirituality in mysticism. It has a high status, and the place he travels through is pointed by the golden finger, which has a strong correlation.
The divination results came out quickly: there was no danger, everything went well.
Huh...
Ricardo let out a breath and got ready to go.
Wizard's robe and staff.
As a third-level junior knight, he also wore inner armor, a short sword and a hand crossbow at his waist, and a magic short-blade dagger hidden inside his left boot.
Also placed in the bag of the robe are spell scrolls, potions, several demonized items, and a broken witchcraft.
'The other world has been locked, and you can travel back and forth freely. The current travel location is 'Leaking Cauldron Lane, London'. Do you want to teleport immediately? '
'Teleport! '
The illusory gray sunflower vines on Ricardo's body gave off a ray of light and quickly wrapped around him.
...
The world was spinning, and in the blink of an eye, the world changed.
During this process, Ricardo opened his own information panel.
He saw changes in the 'own talent' column in the information panel.
'Talent: New Territory Clone→...'
Ricardo's consciousness gradually returned to itself, and he smelled a smell different from that of the dark castle.
I saw myself arriving in an open grassland outdoors.
An old stone wall covered with green plants surrounded this piece of grassland, and in the center and one side of the grassland, there were some dilapidated and abandoned stone buildings.
At this time, it was not night here yet, but the sky was dark and it should be cloudy.
It only took a moment, before Ricardo recovered, he saw the words 'New Territory Clone' flashing on the panel, Talent: New Territory Clone → Talent: New Territory Clone (generating).
Then a shadow appeared in front of him, floated towards him, and merged into his body.
At the same time, he discovered that in the hidden corner of the grassland ahead, there was a set of clothes placed on the ground in human shape. The clothes were Western-style high school uniforms from his previous life. On one side of the clothes, there was a pocket watch and a wallet.
In his mind, there were suddenly many memory fragments.
"...Ricardo, an exchange student from the other side of the Eurasian continent, is currently studying at a Chinese school that cooperates with Gio Public School...acquired the wizard inheritance from his distant grandfather in London, and went to the ruined house purchased by his distant grandfather Richard. While searching for clues to the wizard's legacy in the wasteland outside the cauldron lane, he triggered the magic circle restriction and died suddenly..."
This time he was not just a physical time travel!
Because of his talent, he directly replaced a certain London high school student named Ricardo in this world!
Moreover, he obtained the other party's memory fragments.
Ricardo opened the panel.
Name: Ricardo
Physique: 7.5, Spirit: 14 (increases some mental power after awakening the language of flowers)
Related: None
Talent: New Realm Clone (generating)
Clone: Evil Flower of Two Realms,? ? (Generating)
Flower Language: Main Flower Language (evil from another world)
Flower of Evil: 12% (absorbing deep pollution from the spiritual space, slowly increasing)
His time traveling is causing him to form a new clone.
"I didn't expect that after traveling to another world, I can directly obtain an aboriginal identity in the other world." "
And, after the new clone is generated, it may be able to gain another ability?"
Ricardo walked forward.
He gathered up all the high school students' clothes on the floor.
While gathering his clothes, he recalled more memories of Ricardo, a high school student.
He picked up the pocket watch beside Ricardo.
The first time I picked it up, I opened the pocket watch as if with skill.
Click. He unfolded the pocket watch and saw a small, incomplete photo
on the inside of the metal case . The small photo was originally a group photo of three people, with the boy Ricardo in the middle and two girls wearing similar high school uniforms on the left and right. The photo of one of the girls has been cropped out. The girl who was still on top had a pretty face, a tall figure, and looked to be of mixed race. The girl has black hair and black eyes, with a few strands of red hair dyed in her beautiful black hair, which gives her whole person a sense of mystery, rather like the female apprentice Ricardo had seen in the Wizarding Continent. "Nono." Ricardo's memory fragments awakened, and he subconsciously read the girl's name. In his memory, one of the two girls in the photo was named Nono, and the other seemed to be named Qiu Zhang. Like him, the two of them were exchange students from the other side of the Eurasian continent. Nono has some connection with his distant grandfather Richard Sr. From Ricardo's perspective after merging his memories, he has a sense of mystery like that of a female apprentice from the Wizarding Continent. The other girl had complicated emotions in Ricardo's memory.
The admiration in junior high school, the disgust after discovering the utilitarian side of the other person, and the cutting off after being completely disappointed...
"Obviously, like Nono, she is also of mixed race, but as a fellow villager, she insists on being called Qiu Zhang. Rather than the normal way of saying things from home, which is flattering and arrogant..."
Ricardo subconsciously remembered his former high school student's views on girls.
"But what does it have to do with me?"
"For me, this world is just a treasure trove of possible resources..."
Ricardo shook his head.
During the period just now, he has felt the energy density of this world, which is much higher than that of Knight Continent!
Even a little higher than the outermost edge of the Wizarding Continent.
This kind of energy density determines that the extraordinary resources produced in this world will not be too few or too poor.
And the effect of meditation will be better than in Knight Continent.
As for the extraordinary civilization status of this world.
Judging from the information Ricardo has received so far.
This world, like the wizarding world, also has a wizarding civilization.
But the wizarding civilization did not manifest itself to the world.
Rather, it’s like the Harry Potter/Hogwarts world, hidden in urban corners.
Hidden where most people cannot see.
It is so hidden that most people believe that there is no supernatural ability in this world.
Wizards are subject to various restrictions when using standard spells in the city. Until now, wizards have not been exposed like the world of Hogwarts.
In terms of the level of wizard civilization, this world is much lower than that of the Wizard Continent. The distant grandfather of high school student Ricardo, Old Richard, is just an intermediate wizard apprentice like him.
Still an old man.
But in the Wizarding Alley City, Leaky Cauldron Alley, London, he was honored as a fourth-level wizard.
In a world where apprentices were regarded as formal wizards, Ricardo could already imagine its upper limit.
"Let's explore this land first. After all, it is a legacy given to me by old Richard."
Ricardo walked into the abandoned building in the middle of the deserted grassland.
This piece of grassland is located on the outskirts of the Leaky Cauldron Wizarding Cemetery in London, just outside the fog of Wizarding Alley.
Wizards generally hide themselves in this world and rarely reveal their extraordinary abilities in front of mortals.
The fog that separates the Wizard Cemetery and the wasteland is actually the effect of the magic circle used to hide the Wizard Alley.
To enter Wizard Alley, you have to go through the secret door inside the mortal bar 'Triangle Memory Bar' at the entrance of Leaky Cauldron Alley.
When you leave Wizard Alley, you can walk directly out of the fog.
The central building in the deserted grassland is an abandoned church.
From the memory fragments, we know that our distant grandfather, Old Richard, was once a priest. He started his own fortune after taking over this private church and accidentally breaking into the wizarding world.
Before his death, Old Richard was a stronghold of the East Circle Gang, a Chinese gang in London. He had accumulated a lot of wealth, bought this land outright many years ago, and established his own wizarding inheritance.
Avoiding the gravel and potholes on the ground, Ricardo walked into the abandoned church.
It was dark inside, with only a few beams of light coming through the gaps in the windows. There were many holes in the ceiling, many cracks in the walls, and a lot of dust on the floor. Decorations such as altars, crosses, icons, etc. were all dumped aside, or Damaged or stained.
After a quick glance, Ricardo quickly saw the treasure that moved his heart.
On the pulpit deep in the church, there is a large cross made of magic stone.
Magic stone!
This is a magic stone!
