The Witcher: My backyard leads to London

The territory of Frostwind Territory is considered medium in size among the viscounts, with many viscounties covering an area of ​​just over a thousand square kilometers, but these basically cover a lot of land in the county.

Some viscounts can participate in certain diplomatic affairs on behalf of the empire because those viscounts can often influence and control a relatively important city and have important influence in the country.

The land in Frostwind Territory is not close to the county town, but the area is much larger. However, it is close to the Panxue Mountains, with more forests and hills, and less population density.

"How was the investigation into the previous assassination by Night Crow Society?"

Ricardo asked Lorient.

At this time, Lorient was also guessing about Ricardo's true strength like Paris. After hearing the question, he replied:

"The demon hunting knights who are currently in Pansen County have found out that the relatives of the Feng Lang family outside the county have had a lot of contact with the Night Crow Society and Ms. Camilla of the Thieves Guild. And Baron Feng Lang once worked in There was an illegitimate son in Fenglang Town, and he was placed in the town's blacksmith shop. The illegitimate son escaped, and recently he has been connected with many relatives of Fenglang's family outside the county..."

Lorient explained, but Ricardo shook his head.

He obviously did not agree with Lorient's speculation.

"The assassination I encountered at the Golden Deer Family happened just a few days after the Territory War, and it was so large that it even involved the great knights of the Thieves Guild. I don't think the people who escaped from the Feng Lang Family can In just a few days, an assassination of this scale was carried out in series. If they had been planning for months or even years, or if there were any special and famous figures in the Feng Lang family, it might still be possible..."

Ricardo thought of the words the Assassin Mentor said before his death.

"So you think it is Viscount Frostwind who is leading all of this. You...you...you are asking about the situation of Frostwind Territory now, not only about your father's affairs back then, but also about the recent assassination...you want to find out as soon as possible Is Viscount Frostwind in trouble?"

Paris and Lorient both thought of some possibilities at this time.

"Viscount Frostwind is not a simple person... However, if the destruction of the headquarters of the Night Crow Society is really related to you..."

Paris was speechless for a moment. He wanted to dissuade him, but thinking of Ricardo's possible strength, he remained silent.

"If I find evidence that Viscount Frostwind hired an assassin to assassinate my father, the old Lord Ice Lake. But there is only the body of the assassin. In this case, if Viscount Frostwind dies, I may use the territory to In the name of the revenge war, annex the Frostwind Territory?"

Ricardo asked.

"You still want the Frostwind Viscounty!?"

When Paris heard this, he was even more speechless for a long time.

He closed his eyes and thought for a long time before speaking.

"...As long as you have Miss Vera's support, and you have enough merits, of course your strength must be at least a top wizard apprentice or above. After accumulating some merits, it shouldn't be difficult with Miss Vera's help... But so does the Frostwind family. As a big family, the whole process must be planned carefully, otherwise once Viscount Frostwind dies, other nobles of the Frostwind family will try their best to get involved. The longer they are given, the more forces they may be able to involve. …”

"Thanks."

Ricardo believed that there was a solution to this problem.

In the extraordinary world, if a strong man disappears, he will not be considered dead within a short period of time, as long as his body is not found.

Once upon a time, a lord who was an extraordinary person disappeared, and then there were relatives of the lord's family who wanted to seize the position of lord. When the lord disappeared just to break through the knight level, when the lord returned, those who wanted to seize the position of lord The relatives were naturally punished.

But the premise of all this is that the other party appears in the right place. If the other party is blown to pieces in full view of the public, then the fool also knows that as long as the other party is not a wizard, he will definitely be dead.

As long as the other party has been 'missing' for a few months, Ricardo will naturally have the necessary conditions.

In the middle, Ricardo can even let people imitate the other party's handwriting to avoid the possible confusion caused by Frost Wind Collar.

"I heard that Viscount Frostwind has been living in seclusion over the years and has rarely left his territory. And you have mentioned many times that he received inheritance from the tombs in the Panxue Mountains... What is going on... and... why is Panxue In the mountains of the Knights Continent, there will be so many tombs related to the Snow Secret Realm, and are they all of a lower level?"

After Lorient gave him a map of Panxue County and marked some situations in Frostwind Territory on it.

Ricardo asked the final question.

He saw that Viscount Frostwind's castle was close to the Snowy Mountains. Like the Ice Lake Territory, this lord's castle was not on the edge of a populated area, but far away from the town and closer to the Snowy Mountains.

This is more suitable for Ricardo to launch certain plans.

"The original castle of Viscount Frostwind is not here. This is a newly built castle after he obtained the territory of Viscount Frostwind. It is probably this castle that is closer to the tomb where he received the inheritance. He lives in seclusion, which may also be related to him. It is related to the inheritance obtained. If you really think that the assassination by Night Crow is related to Viscount Frostwind, given Viscount Frostwind’s past character, since he paid so much and did not do it himself, he may indeed need to stay in the territory. …”

"As for why there are so many tombs in the Panxue Mountains, this...Miss Vera may have told you something. But I want to say that the real reason will be revealed after the affairs of the Evil Thief Cult are dealt with to a certain stage. It will be announced naturally. There has been some progress in the investigation of the team problem in the mirror shop that you mentioned before, and the results may be available soon."

Paris said at last.

Lorient also added some information later. For example, the man named Idam at the Golden Deer family gathering was actually the son of Lady Camilla of the Thieves Guild, and Lady Camilla was one of the assassins in the second assassination. One, at the same time, the other party was once the mistress of Baron Xuefeng. The Baron Xuefeng is right next to the Viscount Shuangfeng. Baron Xuefeng is considered a noble of the Viscount Shuangfeng line.

…

During this dinner, Ricardo obtained the information he wanted and obtained the information.

The three of them also had a rare drink.

In the office, the three of them are considered high-ranking members of the Demon Hunter Knights, and this is a rare gathering at this time.

After enjoying themselves, Ricardo wanted to return to his territory, so he said goodbye to the two of them in advance.

After Ricardo left, Paris and Lorient clinked their glasses in silence.

"Lorient, you have performed missions with him, Ricardo's strength..."

Paris asked.

"It is indeed very strong... I was trapped by the evil spirit of the Mirror Shop, and nothing happened to him. He even purified the evil spirit directly. And didn't you see with your own eyes his participation in the territorial war and his performance on the battlefield? , you should know better..."

Lorient replied.

He also has the strength of a fifth-level demon-hunting knight, whose strength is far stronger than that of ordinary high-level knights. He also knew how difficult it was for Ricardo to purify evil spirits at that time.

"I can only say now that the previous story that Ricardo came back because he was injured and exhausted his potential is wrong and is a rumor. I'm afraid there are some special reasons why he returned from the Wizarding Continent... He can be valued by Miss Vera. It’s as it should be.”

Paris was grateful for his previous help to Ricardo, which now seemed like a good investment.

"Where's the guy who was the source of the rumors before? His name seems to be...Cohen?"

"He is dead. Ricardo did it himself."

"Okay...it does look like his style...but Viscount Frostwind...forget it, let's wait for the result...I hope everything goes well for him. How is little Lolita doing recently? If there is a chance, little Lolita can recognize her as a godfather... "

The two continued to drink for a while.

Ricardo had already left the restaurant and teleported directly to the Mirror Shop. At this time, he took the fast lane and returned to Ice Lake Territory. After making some preparations, he teleported immediately...

…

Frostwind Viscounty.

castle.

At this time, Viscount Frostwind and the Knight Commander also received news from the headquarters of the Night Crow Society.

"The stronghold was destroyed and all the people inside were missing."

When the Knight Commander sent the information about the carrier pigeon he received to Viscount Frostwind, he was still a little unbelievable.

"Who did it?"

"Could it be that the Night Crow Society's past missions provoked some powerful spell caster, and then the spell caster passed by and took those people away?"

"There are traces of the explosion of alchemical products left at the scene. It does look like the hands of a spell caster, possibly a top wizard apprentice...or even a wizard..."

Viscount Frostwind read the intelligence letter, then walked to the fireplace and threw the letter in.

He watched the letter burn into ashes and felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"Night Crow failed to assassinate Baron Ice Lake?"

he asked.

"Yes. But the chain of evidence that the Feng Lang family hired the Night Crow Society has been kept. Later, when the Demon Hunter Knight investigates, the investigation will only lead to the Feng Lang family... This newly promoted baron of the Binghu family is really powerful. amazing…"

The knight commander replied with some fear that the failure of the assassination also meant the failure of half of his previous mission.

If he hadn't been the Viscount's confidant, I'm afraid...

"You said... the disappearance of all the people in the headquarters of the Night Crow Society, could it be related to this Baron of Ice Lake?"

"It's possible... I can't say it's completely impossible... It's just that if the other party has such means and strength, the other party can handle many things in the past much more directly. For example, in the war against Baron Wind Wolf, the top wizard apprentice can directly kill the opponent and annex the territory. , there is no need to rely on noble councils and territorial wars..."

"That's right... But the other party's potential will be a disaster in the long run. I can't walk away yet. After a while, people from the Storm Clan will come over. Let's find a way to see if we can kill someone with a borrowed knife... I have learned that, The person behind Baron Ice Lake is Vera from the Constellation Church. Vera comes from the Parlan clan in Linxue Province. The two clans gathered in Shagang County, probably for the sake of the Evil Thief Cult..."

"When the time comes... there will definitely be a chance..."

Viscount Frostwind's eyes revealed a gloomy mood. If he hadn't been at an important moment now, according to his style back then, he would have personally led the team to stay near the Ice Lake Territory...

…

And now, late at night.

Ricardo teleported again and appeared in the secret realm of the headquarters of the Night Crow Society.

Summon the wolf!

Ricardo directly used the wolf bone necklace to summon two huge skeleton wolves.

The skeleton wolf jumped out of the stone door of the secret realm.

They were arranged by Ricardo to drive people away.

All the members in the Nightcrow Club headquarters have disappeared, and this news should have spread to a certain extent.

There may be some people monitoring the area near the headquarters.

And in the middle of the night, Ricardo summoned a giant skeleton wolf with ghostly fire in its eyes.

When nearby observers see this extraordinary creature or the ghostly fire that lights up at night, they will naturally understand that a spell caster is coming.

The ghost fire in the night exudes some hostility towards these people, and these people will naturally shrink away out of awe of the mystery.

If someone really doesn't have eyesight, he will naturally lose his life.

Ricardo walked out of the secret realm after asking the Skeleton Wolf to make sure there were no living people nearby.

He began to approach the Frostwind Territory from the headquarters of the Nightcrow Club.

When traveling about four kilometers.

Ricardo stopped and began to examine the equipment in his hands.

At the same time, he summoned a clone of the Evil Flower Spirit Puppet.

The first thing he checked was the Barrett sniper rifle and its special bullets.

In fact, among the sniper weapons Ricardo purchased before, the most precious ones were not the C4 plastic explosives, these automatic rifles, or the highly destructive sniper rifles.

But some of those bullets.

He took out a cardboard box from the bullet box.

Judging from the way he was holding the carton with both hands, the carton was very heavy, very heavy.

Ricardo placed the carton on the box and opened it, revealing the black box inside.

Ricardo moved very carefully because he knew:

This is the lead box.

The bullet inside is made of depleted uranium and is weakly radioactive.
