Chapter 274 happens to contain
the half of the thieves card with the coordinates of the weird carriage. Vera had told Ricardo before: The Church of God of War will find a way to extract all the law fragments on it. Even if it is returned to the hand, it may just be an empty shell. Purple flower card.
The purple flower card was extremely precious, and Vera's letter did not mention what merits Ricardo needed to expend to redeem half of the card.
Presumably the other party has already anticipated that the half-thieves card in his hand may not be worth much by then.
Ricardo was indifferent to this.
When he gets the half of the Thief Card, he will divine it first. If it is interesting, he will put it into the giant purple flower given by Vera, swallow the flower language, and see if there is anything new after getting the two Thief Card fragments. Variety.
If it doesn't work, he accepts it, it's free anyway.
His biggest trump card is the golden finger, and the power of the purple flower card is reflected through the language of flowers.
…
Ricardo will next prepare to participate in the annual apprentice trials.
He chose to stay in Old Rand and inquire about some information along the way.
Of course, the evil room in the storm beacon was left in the small botanical garden. He could teleport to the evil room in the storm beacon at any time, and then let the clone leave the evil room to see the situation in the small botanical garden.
During this period, under the influence of Huayu Wealth's loyalty, many members of Xueye County in the apprentice caravan organization had great trust in him.
Whether it is an apprentice or an elder who escorts the apprentice, some letters are often sent to the small botanical garden. Even if Ricardo is not near the magic plant tower, he has the transmission ability and can receive news from the small botanical garden at any time.
In Old Rand.
Mr. Tuva of the White Rose family arranged for the subordinate members of the family business association in Old Rand to provide Ricardo with a residence in Old Rand.
This is an apartment close to the Vigil Investigation Bureau.
The apartment style is similar to the residence style shown by Fatty Kova before.
The area is large, much larger than many hotels and accommodation in the old Rand.
Mr. Tuva originally asked the Chamber of Commerce to arrange some live-in maids for Ricardo, but Ricardo refused.
Sometimes he couldn't get used to sleeping in the old Rand, so he would go back to a hotel in the modern world to sleep.
With this coming and going, there will be more maids in the house, and at this juncture we have to think more about loyalty and confidentiality.
It's not the time yet.
This day, Monday.
Ricardo put on the mask of Parambetta.
He has recently found out a lot about the Vigil Investigation Bureau and the annual apprentice trials.
As Parambetta, he walked out of the apartment and soon arrived near the Vigil Investigation Bureau.
The building where the apprentice organization of the Vigil Investigation Bureau is located resembles a huge villa.
Next to it is a matching Adventurer's Guild, which is connected to the Exorcist Alliance system.
There are more demon hunters in this guild than elsewhere.
On weekdays, these demon hunters can accept tasks from the Adventurer's Guild and the Exorcist Alliance, as well as from the Vigil Investigation Bureau, and even receive long-term and stable employment wages.
In this adventurer's guild, there is a hall that is similar in style to the ticket office where Ricardo bought icebreaker tickets in Snowy Night County.
But it is equipped with many magic crystal screens.
On the magic crystal screen, information about many tasks is displayed.
On one of the most expensive screens, the evil spirit missions or evil realm missions in the areas near the end of the ancient snowy road in Old Rand and the Snowy Province were displayed on it.
The most expensive screen is located near the edge of the hall.
Next to the hall is a small semi-open-air theater area.
The small theater area and the lobby are separated by transparent glass.
On the record board in the glass and small theater area, it has been announced that the annual apprentice trial in the area with the gray mist towers will be carried out in conjunction with the Vigil Investigation Bureau in the form of a points competition.
Although the annual apprenticeship trial has not yet begun, if apprentices who are qualified to participate in the trial can purify and clean up the evil environment in the nearby area from now on...
then the relevant points can be included in the annual apprenticeship trial.
However, this is only for the Evil Realm mission and does not apply to the Evil Spirit mission.
Bad realm tasks involve closed spaces, are dangerous and complex, and are far more difficult than purifying evil spirits. Sometimes the purification of a bad realm may take a long time. Even if it is just the core evil spirits of a small bad realm, it may be purified. It took many days.
The trials are arranged in this way to weigh the pros and cons, so that the apprentices can participate in the mission of the evil realm without being too disadvantaged to the trialists who want to purify the evil realm.
…
The rewards for this trial are very generous, especially the points from the trial can be exchanged for [Divine Way] Water of Yasu. This potion is enough to affect the life path of wizard apprentices. Once it is released, it naturally arouses the enthusiasm of a lot of apprentices.
If it weren't for the annual apprentice trial, not only this side, but this side is only for apprentices from several wizard towers in the snow area and ocean area. The trials in other areas also released the water of Shentu Yasu... I'm afraid, here at this time, The number of apprentices is already overcrowded. Because they can earn points in advance, many apprentices from the Snow Region and Ocean Region have already settled in Old Rand.
And in this annual trial, many middle- and low-level apprentices can play the role of intelligence spies. At the same time, in order to accumulate experience, many middle- and low-level apprentices have gathered in Old Rand.
The apprentices cannot gather here every day.
According to past traditions, under similar circumstances, Monday is the time when many apprentices will gather here to meet each other, share information with each other, or reconcile transactions.
Through the glass, Ricardo saw the small theater area, where many would-be wizards in the snowy area were sharing information.
Among them were Aisalia, whom he was familiar with, as well as Percy, Coulson and others who were also genius apprentices of the Magic Plant Tower.
Colson is somewhat distant from everyone in the snow area, and his position is closer to many apprentices in the ocean area.
Ricardo saw many apprentices in the ocean area surrounding a man who looked very similar to Colson.
Official wizard?
Ricardo quickly guessed that the other party should be Colson's brother, a senior wizard named Cote d'Ivoire.
He is also Prol's backer in the apprentice organization of the Vigil Investigation Bureau.
"Beta?!"
Aisalia saw Ricardo and immediately waved to him.
She pointed to the small theater area, an entrance and exit connected to the room behind the Adventurer's Guild.
Alleria sent a message asking Aisalia to assist Ricardo as much as possible in the trial, and hinted that Ricardo's real strength was far stronger than Aisalia.
Aisalia respected Ricardo even more since then. She didn't come over at this time. It was obvious that something happened at that exit.
Ricardo walked to Aisalia.
"People from the Dragon Whale Family are here, and something seems to have happened."
Aisalia explained.
I saw a group of noble wizards in dark blue cloaks walking into the small theater.
These wizards all have shark lines on their faces, and the skin on their faces is slightly blue.
The temperament and style of these people are close to the Storm Clan that Ricardo had seen.
"Although the Dragon Whale family is a descendant of the Storm Clan and stands with the orthodox faction of the clan, their ancestor wizard likes to conduct blood fusion experiments. After their ancestor wizard married a dragon descendant, they let the descendants of the family merge with the sea. There are many marriages between the Sharks in the clan..." "
Among the descendants of the entire family, there are not only the blood of the Storm Clan, but also the blood of the Dragonborn, and the blood of the Sharks... and this family has a special inheritance of druid transformation, which they call themselves. The Druid's transformation form is 'Armanigos'."
Listening to Aisalia's explanation, Ricardo remembered the information about the Sharks.
The Sharks are also called the Mermaids.
This race has a human upper body and a fish tail on the lower body. If you just listen to the name, this race is often confused with the fish-men race with fish heads and human bodies.
In fact, the mermaid tribe often produces beauties that look like mermaids. Compared with the ugly fishmen, the difference is not even a little bit different.
The mermaids of the Sharman tribe have the ability to turn their fish tails into human legs.
The Dragon Whale family only inherited some of the bloodline abilities of the Sharman clan, and the lower body is still a human body.
"Wizards!"
An old man who was the leader of the Dragon Whale family walked to the center of the stage of the small theater, holding a long-handled wand like a crutch.
The old man's face was full of worry and sorrow. He used magic to amplify his voice:
"Bad news. This past weekend, from the snowy grassland to the old Rand, the evil realm made a crazy expansion. , many residents were sucked into the evil environment."
"Including Her Highness Alice from our Dragon Whale family." "
Her Royal Highness Alice disappeared while investigating a strange carriage environment on the snow-covered grassland. ..."
The old man introduced the situation of the carriage.
In that weird carriage realm, there are often two ghost carriages placed outside the realm. They collect customers from the "Snow Boat Town" carriage shop in front of the snow-covered grassland, and then take the guests into the evil realm.
The Evil Realm is said to play out the story of a group of apprentices taking a carriage to the Ice City of Snow, taking a boat, passing through a floating ice sea teleportation vortex, and heading to a certain exorcism temple... among the wizards who broke into this Evil Realm in the
past , before arriving at the teleportation vortex by boat, there were still people who escaped, but after entering the teleportation whirlpool, no one has escaped yet... '
Carriage, apprentice...Snowship Town carriage house soliciting customers...this is not that...'
Ricardo listened. The old man's description immediately reminded him of the strange carriage incident he encountered on the snow-covered grassland.
"The strange carriage incident has always been on the list of dangerous places in the Gray Fog Towers area..." During the
old man's narration, someone had already pointed out the old man's identity. The other party was the patriarch of the Dragon Whale family's branch in Old Rand.
"Her Highness Alice is the natural Armanigus of our Dragon Whale family, and her position in our family is extremely important. This time, we have asked the top brass of the Gray Mist Towers. If anyone can rescue Her Highness Alice, he will get our Dragon Whale The friendship of the family. And you will get points that are regarded as purifying the evil environment behind the strange carriage incident..."
