The Wizard: London From My Backyard

Chapter 20: Food comes to the city and the flower of evil grows (please read it later)

……

Afternoon in the modern world where London is, evening in the wizarding world.

Ricardo finally had his first meal in the main building of Fanhua Manor.

The chef of the manor carefully prepared a sumptuous dinner, with cheese and fruit as an appetizer, roast ribs with mashed potatoes and peas, and beef soup as a main course.

But these are obviously still a bit crude for Ricardo.

Fortunately, he had expected it a long time ago, ordered and packed the meal in advance at the restaurant on the first floor of the Liangkesong Hotel, and brought it here.

He dismissed the ordinary servants and attendants, and then took out all the packed meals, and the richness of the dinner immediately increased by at least two levels.

On the side of the roast ribs, there are dishes that obviously do not belong to this era: a plate of foie gras mousse with black truffle and fig jam, a plate of lobster soup with vanilla cream and crab meat, a roast goose, and a piece of chocolate cake. There is also a bottle of white wine, as well as rice and pasta.

"Teresa, let's eat together. Help me cut up the roast goose."

Ricardo was bored eating alone, so he asked Teresa, the head maid who also came from the lord's family, to accompany him.

Teresa became Ricardo's attendant because she wanted to follow Ricardo to practice the wizarding path.

She also has the strength of a third-tier junior knight, and her status is not comparable to that of ordinary attendants.

"Oh... ok, ok..."

"Ricardo...my lord."

Seeing dishes that were obviously different from the specialties of the manor kitchen, Teresa looked a little nervous...

…after the meal.

Ricardo asked Teresa to put the food brought from modern times into garbage bags, and then he put them in the magic storage bag.

He will dispose of these at the hotel when he returns to the hotel in London at night.

"My lord, when I went to the castle to deliver a message to the captain of the guard, I received a letter from the family."

"Right now, there are rumors about you, my lord, in Shakang County and Pansen County."

Teresa mentioned some contents of her father's letter to Ricardo.

After hearing this, Ricardo frowned.

He didn't expect that after his mental space was damaged, the problem of the wizard's way forward would spread to the neighboring counties.

'Cohen! '

'This big mouth! '

Ricardo thought of Lord Andrew's mention of the news from Cohen, an apprentice who returned to his hometown two years ago, and his expression sank.

Back then, after he was injured, he naturally asked for help in the wizard apprentice pen pal club he organized.

It was only natural that Cohen knew.

But just after he came back, the Jinlu family, the in-law family in the neighboring county, knew about it, which was somewhat annoying.

"fortunately."

Ricardo sighed, if he hadn't awakened Goldfinger, his current strength would have surpassed that at the peak of the Wizarding Continent.

It's just not allowed, what consequences will this kind of information spread in the end?

"Tomorrow, I will go to the county town, go to Paris's office to see if there are any good books, and see if Cohen can be contacted by the way."

Ricardo then decides.

……

The next morning.

Ricardo took the family's carriage to the county town of Shakang County.

Three days ago, when he came back from overseas, he stayed in a hotel close to the wharf area outside the county town.

The distance from the inn to the Lord of Ice Lake in the countryside is particularly long.

Depart early in the morning and arrive in the afternoon.

But this time, it was much faster to go directly to the Paris office on the other side of the county town.

Four or five hours later.

Ricardo raised the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

At this time, the carriage had already entered the county town for a while.

The county town of Shagang County has a population of [-] to [-], which is one order of magnitude lower than the top two port cities in the West Coast Knight Empire.

But compared to the previous life in the Middle Ages, a population of [-] was equivalent to a large city, and it was particularly huge.

Because the large cities of the empire usually buy supernatural power from wizards for city management, such as opening up a huge maze-like sewer system.

At the same time, in this era, many counties and cities have entered the era of steam for a long time.

So the streets of the city are relatively clean and tidy.

Steam pipes can be seen on many buildings along the street, and gas lamps and horse-drawn carriages can be seen on some important streets.

Ricardo's carriage stopped several times in the middle, and asked about the approximate location of Paris' office.

After another hour, they arrived at Telegraph Street where the office was located.

The telegraph office is a new official department that has just emerged in a few core cities of the empire, and now it mainly serves the communication between the imperial officials and nobles in the core cities.

Paris' office is on Telegraph Street, in a three-story building next to the telegraph office.

The buildings on this street are particularly exquisite. Various buildings are equipped with steam pipes, and steam boilers, differential engines, gas lamps, etc. can be seen from the outer walls of the buildings. The glass material of each building is far better than the glazed feeling of the windows of the castle in the country, and is closer to the windows of the modern world.

In the three-story building where the office was located, Ricardo could see the library inside through the glass windows on the third floor.

"It seems that the office is equipped with a small library and possibly an apprentice club, as Paris said."

Ricardo saw a sign next to the gate of the office on the first floor, with two lines on it:

'Shacon County Night Watch Office',

'Behind is the Constellation Church, please ask the Church for help if you are not dealing with evil spirits'.

Ricardo looked at the back of the building. Sure enough, in the distance behind the office building was a church of the Constellation Church, and the standard level was not low.

"Night Watchman..."

Ricardo got off the carriage and glanced at the firm's name again.

Thoughtful.

The Night Watchman is a special title, which comes from the wizard organization "Night Watch Holy Order". Hundreds of years ago, the Night Watch Holy Order was one of the seven supreme organizations in the wizarding continent, but in the past few hundred years, it has become the only one among the seven organizations that has declined and withdrawn from the top ranks.

The former supreme wizard organization split into several forces, such as the headquarters of the Exorcism Alliance, the Exorcism Hall, the Night Watchman Association, and the Night Watch Bureau.

One of them even occupied the magpie's nest of the glorious Holy See a hundred years ago, changed the entire glorious Holy See, and renamed it the 'Holy Holy See'.

"After reading what Paris said, the firm he built will be merged by wizard-led organizations in the future. What he said is true."

"Could it be that the Night Watchman Association will annex this firm in the future? Or directly the Exorcist Alliance?"

It is now in the war between the Wizarding World and the Nightmare World, and some of the aftermath of the war has already been implicated in the Knight Continent.

As Paris said, many wizards have come to the Knight Continent and are leading the establishment of an organization to deal with evil spirits.

In the Wizarding Continent, the leader in doing this is the wizarding organization 'Exorcism Alliance Headquarters' that has declined and withdrawn from the top ranks.

This organization formed the Allied Forces of Exorcism in the Continent of Wizards. Ricardo was assigned the task of evil spirits when his mental space was damaged.

Ricardo walked towards the building where the office was located.

He walked directly along the stairs on the outer wall of the building to the second floor. He had already seen an external hall on the first floor, and Paris was obviously not inside.

Enter the corridor outside the room on the second floor from the outer wall stairs.

It can be seen through the corridor window that there are many large rooms inside, the head of which is a club-style conference hall, in which several wizard apprentices sit casually.

The level of wizard apprentices is not high, probably around the low level.

"Ricardo?"

When Ricardo entered the room, he heard a familiar voice calling.

He saw a frail young man with green hair waving to him in the back of the room.

"Korn!!"

'It's you!It's you boy! '

Ricardo's face darkened, and he walked directly in the direction of the green-haired boy.

I'm halfway there.

Flower of Evil progress: 82%→84%

Ricardo suddenly saw that the progress of the Flower of Evil suddenly jumped up.

wrong!

After possessing the flower language 'brilliant breath', the removal of deep pollution in his spiritual space was accelerated, and now only sporadic pollution remained, and the promotion progress of the flower of evil has dropped again.

Nowadays, it is impossible to improve so much all at once.

Now raise so much,

There is only one possibility—maliciousness from elsewhere.

Not Cohen!

As the owner of the panel, Ricardo looked in the direction of Cohen, and did not feel the change in the progress of the Flower of Evil.

He carefully used the corner of his eye to look to the side.

Beside a bookshelf in the room, a one-eyed boy wearing a blindfold was chatting with his companion, and occasionally glanced at him with an unkind expression.
