The Witcher: My backyard leads to London

The real breakthrough in Ricardo's retreat this time was the bloody breathing method. The breathing method is at the viscount level, which corresponds to the eighth to ninth level strength in this world. Of course, the real blood viscount is the second level of strength.

Ricardo himself still has part of the purgatory lord personality, and in many aspects he can achieve effects similar to those of a real vampire viscount, or even stronger.

"I hope to see the two senior students promoted to scholars and professors during their time at school."

Ricardo also returned their courtesy sincerely.

"Thank you, Professor!"

At this time, the two girls no longer called Ricardo a classmate and junior student, but directly used the honorific title of Wizard Professor.

Ricardo left the secret room of the Star Observation Tower.

Meredy, who was waiting nearby, immediately followed.

"You have a breakthrough, my lord?"

Meredy is a vampire lord and a mutated succubus blood slave, so she has a keen sense of Ricardo.

"Well, I just happened to be looking for Dean Macquarie."

Ricardo replied.

Now that he has exposed his eighth-level strength, his treatment level within the Honeysel Castle Group will undergo various changes.

All of this depends on Meredy's grandfather, Dean.

Fifteen minutes later.

Honeysel main castle.

Ricardo appeared in the office of the dean of Chaos College.

Macquarie inside had already learned about Ricardo's promotion from his granddaughter in advance.

When he saw Ricardo walking into the office, Macquarie, who was wearing a pair of reading glasses, immediately greeted him with a smile.

"I have arranged to go to Tang Qiu to make a banner."

“Our college’s banners must not be worse than those next door!”

There was a hint of cunning in Macquarie's eyes. The neighbor he mentioned was a Hero Academy student who had just been promoted to the eighth level.

That's when.

Professor Macquarie suddenly looked confused.

The left eye lens of the reading glasses on his face suddenly appeared a few cracks.

"what's the situation?"

Macquarie looked at this scene with some shock.

"This is...you...you...Classmate Ricardo, are you more than the eighth level..."

"My magic glasses are used to detect dangerous existences above the ninth level, and they are broken..."

"Could it be that... it has reached the ninth level?"

Macquarie hesitated for a while and asked an answer in disbelief.

Ricardo was expressionless.

Neither admitted nor denied.

Macquarie looked at his granddaughter again, and then Meredith looked a little complicated.

Suddenly, Macquarie felt his blood pressure rise a little.

A mixed emotion of excitement and shock appeared in my heart.

"You...such a young professor..."

Macquarie returned to his seat in the dean's office, calmed down for a long time, and took a lot of sedative potions before finally accepting this fact.

Then, he suddenly took out the crystal ball from Dr. Tang Qiu's research team.

Contacted Tang Qiu directly.

"Let's stop with the banner thing for a moment..."

Macquarie said suddenly.

"grandfather!"

Meredy was a little confused and felt aggrieved for Ricardo.

"No, dear granddaughter, what I mean is, let Ricardo keep a low profile for a few days. You know, the Four Powers Tournament is about to begin..."

"The sun never sets on the two houses of the Clock Tower, Hogwart in New Haven, and Columbia in New York..."

"Members of the four ancient wizarding university alliances will gather in Honeysel. Of course, the venue for this cup will also involve Hogwart."

Ricardo had heard the name of this game several times and was immediately curious.

"The Four Strongest Tournament is held irregularly in the alliance, sometimes every four years, sometimes every other year depending on the situation."

"Each school can send one or two representative students to participate. The school that wins the championship can obtain many special shares and powers before the next Four-Power Tournament. The champion himself can not only enter the preparatory committee of the Grand Library Committee, You can also get the right to redeem it from the treasure trove of the Great Library once."

"Ricardo should have made obvious progress in practicing the "New World Law", and it is said that after the "New World Law" reaches the ninth level, there are some precious treasures that can help casters who practice this method have the opportunity to break through to a higher level. "

Macquarie looked at Ricardo expectantly.

"Among the wizard students currently in school, Caesar, the President of the Student Union, is the best, but he is only an eighth-level associate professor, and Ricardo's strength... um... won the Four Wife Championship with a ninth-level combat power. The probability is very high!”

"Let's keep a low profile for now. We will limit the news of Ricardo's promotion to the eighth level to a small-scale internal discussion. This way, when the Four Powers Tournament begins, it may have a special role in the selection for the Goblet of Flames. …”

"Meleti, you know, because Caesar is too strong now, many people think that Honeycell will only send Caesar in this cup, but now... haha..."

The cunning look on Professor Macquarie's face became even greater.

The reading glasses he originally wore were replaced with a new pair, but the new reading glasses were just ordinary modern items.

"Chaos Academy has not had a representative for many years, and he helped the school win the championship of the Four Powers!"

"Ricardo, if you can do it. With the champion's redemption rights in the Great Library's treasury, I can help you redeem a few more top-notch treasures. Don't worry, you will definitely be satisfied."

Macquarie said a lot.

To the general effect, I still hope that Ricardo will pay attention to this semi-final competition and participate in it.

And in recent times, it has been a bit low-key. For one of the places in the semifinals, almost the whole school has agreed to the student union president Caesar. For the other place, many people have backed down, but they still have to be careful.

"A treasure that can help with subsequent promotions?"

Ricardo was a little surprised when he heard this.

However, I thought that the Great Library has some similar styles to the Great Library of Honeysel in the wizarding world, as well as various other related origins.

As an organization left behind by the legendary wizard, it is understandable that this situation would occur.

…as Ricardo prepared to leave the dean’s office.

Professor Macquarie took the initiative to use magic to create a draft of a banner.

He stretched out his wand and drew it in the air.

[Congratulations to our schoolmate Ricardo for being promoted to ninth level! 】

It was just a draft sketched in the air... Professor Macquarie hoped to produce the corresponding banner after the finals of the Four Powers, which would shock the four schools for many years.

…

Although the banner was not produced.

However, Ricardo's incident has caused an uproar in top student circles.

Didi!

The Ricardo man had just walked out of Professor Macquarie's office.

He felt his ordinary mobile phone vibrating continuously.

Ricardo picked up the phone.

He saw that in several chat groups he was in, people were constantly calling him.

Nowadays, the chat function of mobile phones has become much more complicated.

Probably the scientific and technological progress from the secular side was transmitted to the wizarding civilization.

Ricardo saw that some people in the chat group also began to send him private messages and leave messages for him.

The one he pinned to the top of the list was "New World Group".

The members of this group are considered to be the elite among current students, and they don't like the existence of the student union.

In the group:

Taylor (Heavenly Punishment Academy): Why is the group leader so powerful! ?

Nero (Heavenly Punishment Academy): ...I hope you will call me when you kill Caesar one day, group leader...

Floya (Hero Academia): Come have a student talk, group leader?

Enroth (Gaia Academy): How?

Luna (Yuanmeng Academy): Does the professor want to come to our academy for divination?

…

All kinds of envious voices or remarks mixed with envy filled the group.

Ricardo quickly scanned the comments.

Then I sent a barter link I had prepared earlier to several groups.

Ricardo (group leader}: I just asked the group leader which group leader is the one who gives out benefits like me. I won’t say more, everyone is celebrating.

Ricardo used the authority of the group leader to highlight the link.

Suddenly, the attention of several chat group members began to focus on the link.

The reason why most of the group members stay in Ricardo's group and keep their voices up is because of Ricardo's behavior as a money-giving boy.

Of course, after making money from Ricardo's organization, these people would become more loyal.

He is destined to come back to work for Ricardo in the future.

Maybe Ricardo would gain much more benefits from working in the future than Ricardo invested.

Ricardo himself is not suitable for large-scale trade between the two worlds now.

This transaction model of barter connection is also quite suitable at this point in time.

…

Honeysel University has entered its first semester.

Although there was a banner congratulating Caesar on his promotion to the eighth level, the news that Ricardo had also been promoted to the eighth level in a low-key manner was very impactful.

But for current students, especially freshmen, there are too many things to attract attention at the beginning of the semester.

After spending the summer vacation, Honeysel has entered a normal wizard university state.

Even the number of goblins who usually hang out in several canteens of the castle complex has increased.

In this atmosphere.

The ‘Four-wizard tournament’ of the ancient wizard university alliance was held.

There is a castle in the Honeysel Castle complex specially used to welcome guests.

The main venue for this year's semifinals is Honeysel, and the secondary venue is Hogwart.

Now entering the warm-up phase of the competition, the welcoming castle has begun to receive foreign schools.

The first ones to arrive were naturally the classmates from the brother school, Hogwart.

New Haven, where Hogwart is located, is also in the northeast of the country, very close to Boston.

Hogwart is bound to Yale University. Yale is a school founded by the Puritans, graduates of Oxford University where the sun never sets.

Inheriting the serious and awkward style of Oxford, the school uniform of Hogwart Castle is generally a black robe, but with white ruffles on the cuffs and hem of the robe.

If it's winter, they also wear a look cloak outside.

…Then, along came Columbia University.

This magic school from New York is full of New York fashion sense. Students not only have gorgeous school uniforms that focus on elegance and fashion, but the school also encourages students to wear modern uniforms that suit their personality.

Finally, there is Clock Tower University from the Japanese Empire:

The Clock Tower is bound to the South End University of Oxford, and the Clock Tower is bound to the North End University of St Andrew's.

The student uniforms of Clock Tower University are full of retro and mysterious atmosphere.

Both boys and girls wore ancient scholar robes, which were darker in color and covered with symbolic patterns of various shapes and colors.

Every student at Clock Tower University wears a certain style of special pointed hat.

…Four wizarding universities gathered in the Honeysel Castle complex.

As outsiders, the students arriving from these schools are like tourists, leaving traces in the Charles River Valley, the nearby Magic Alley City and Boston City.

Times like this didn't last long.

The formal process of the ‘Four Strong Tournament’ begins:

The first is the registration and selection ceremony.

Today, the Ancient Wizarding University Alliance rented multiple banquet halls in the Great Library.

The main banquet hall is the same banquet hall where Ricardo used to participate in the Star Observation Tower activities when he was a high school student.

At this time, the banquet hall has been transformed into a mysterious ceremony style.

Multiple banquet halls have been connected to each other.

in this huge venue.

It is enough to accommodate students from the four universities of the ancient Wizarding Alliance who are willing to come and watch the Four Wizards Tournament.

…Night comes.

The exterior decoration of the Great Library on the right side of the mouth of the Charles River Valley is now rendered with large gray flames.

There was a trophy shaking faintly behind the flames.

The trophy is called the Holy Grail of Flames.

It is the winner’s trophy of the Four-wizard Tournament;

It is also a trophy for registration and selection.

Students from the four schools who want to sign up to participate in the Four Power Tournament must write a note with their name, then inject wizard magic into it, and throw it into the Holy Grail of Evil Flame before a certain time limit on the night of the registration ceremony.

After the time limit, the names of the students allowed to participate will appear in the Holy Grail of Evil Flame.

One to two people per school.

There are extreme situations in history where three people appear.

…The flames are blazing.

The gray trophy was placed on a goblet in the center of the grand ballroom.

Suddenly the gray paint surface turned into gold, and the entire trophy was shining and resplendent.

Flames ignited in the trophy.

It's just that the flames are a little gray.

At this time, President Dempsey and other principals and senior leaders of wizarding universities stood on the stage.

Principal Demps began to introduce the entire registration process and some additional points to pay attention to.

"The Holy Grail of Evil Flame is also a special witchcraft. It carries the evils of many wars throughout the ages. Its prototype is the 'Holy Grail of War', an artifact that was briefly held by the Clock Tower in its history."

"The Holy Grail of Evil Flame was born after imitating the Holy Grail of War. It also contains a lot of negative energy, including many special curses. These curses are transformed into special sacrificial energy during the brewing of the Holy Grail."

"The contestants feel like they are fighting a war during the competition. They can absorb the power transformed from the evil of war from the Holy Grail!"

The principal's voice was a little confusing.

Ricardo was very interested in the Holy Grail mentioned in the flower language just now, which contained the evil of war.

in his perspective.

From the moment the Holy Grail of Evil Flame was ignited, he felt that he was continuously absorbing the power of the curse.

The amount of evil thoughts accumulated by exploiting villains in the past was far less than this time.

"Now the official registration process begins!"

Accompanied by Principal Dempsey’s announcement.

In the banquet hall, students from the four schools stood up one after another, holding a piece of paper infused with wizard magic and heading to the Holy Grail.

Only official wizards have wizard magic.

Ricardo could feel that the seventh-level wizard scholars present today were also official wizards, and there were quite a few in each school.
