"According to the custom in the north, the bodies of Navellen and Verena should be cremated together!"

Out of respect, Geralt did not separate the bodies of the two people who were hugging each other. Instead, he lit their bodies on fire and buried them together in a beautiful place in the courtyard.

The moonlight shines on the witcher's silver-white hair, making his tall back look somewhat sad and lonely.

After paying their last respects and saying goodbye to Navellen, everyone returned to the dining room with a warm fire in the manor to warm themselves up and recover their mental and physical strength, which had been on the verge of exhaustion in the high-intensity battle just now.

After a few cups of refreshing fragrant tea, the sad atmosphere in the restaurant became much more relaxed.

They agreed to go back to their rooms to sleep for a while, and then gathered at dawn. Gu Xiaoheng, Geralt, and Maeve said good night to each other and went back to their rooms.

After returning to the room, he turned his attention to the system's task bar - the reward for completing the mission "True Blood". He hadn't even had time to look at it just now!

[Ding! The special scenario mission "True Blood" mission has been completed! 】

[The mission rewards are as follows: "Navellon's Manor Title Deed"

With 20,000 experience points recorded, Gu Xiaoheng's level rose five levels in a row, and the final level column stopped at 75% of level 10.

What surprised him was not only the rapid upgrade speed, which was as fast as riding a rocket, but also the free attribute points and free mastery points used to improve skills.

You must know that in the game "Oracle", the probability of you obtaining free attribute points and free mastery points by completing ordinary tasks is pitifully low. Generally speaking, this probability is as low as almost non-existent.

Only those trial missions that are not easy to trigger, unique limited missions or special situation missions like True Blood will have the privilege to reward these two types of points...

Even if he didn't see the exact amount of treasures that Nevelun hid in the basement, Gu Xiaoheng could smile from ear to ear just by holding the title deed of the manor in front of him.

With the land deed, he can overcome the restriction that all players must reach level 15 to enter the hotel and bind the Hearthstone to return to the city. He will have a fixed return point in the northern region ahead of the large group of players!

How could he not be excited to finally have less of that useless rush?

"System, take out the manor title deed!"

There was a soft popping sound, and Gu Xiaoheng felt a very heavy parchment roll fall into his arms.

Opening the parchment, this land deed prop certified by the system finally unveiled its mystery in front of Gu Xiaoheng, and all its magical functions were clearly visible.

[Exclusive title deed of Bloody Manor] Black dark gold level special props

Item details: Bloody Manor. Ever since Navellen could remember it since he was a child, his grandfather and father, who were bandits, had called this manor by this disgusting name.

After the transfer by the previous owner of the manor, Navellon, the current ownership of the manor has been inherited by an apprentice demon hunter named "Eternal".

Due to years of contamination, Bloody Manor has possessed some of the magical abilities that Nevillen had when he was a monster...

Unique effects: 1. "Hearthstone Binding Point": A hearthstone can be generated every 3 days. After using it, the player can bind the Scarlet Manor as a fixed return point. (This function can later be transformed into a teleportation array by consuming gold coins)

2. "True Blood": As the residence of the legendary lovers Navellen and Verena, the cursed power of the God of Omen and the strange legend of the vampire banshee will always linger and guard this place.

This building has a chance to refresh basic monster defenders of the undead or beast types every natural day. All the refreshed defenders will be permanently loyal to the owner of the manor, and their every move will be controlled by the owner, but their range of activities is limited to the vicinity of the manor.

There is currently a 5% chance of refreshing a level 1~15 forest bear every day, and a 1% chance of refreshing a level 15~35 elite vampire banshee. Currently, you can directly consume coins to directly summon the defenders. This function can also consume gold coins to upgrade.

(The manor’s initial garrison configuration is as follows: level 3 forest squirrel x 50, level 10 forest bear x 4, level 25 elite vampire banshee x 1)

3. "Magic Place": The manor itself can be regarded as a magic unit. The owner of the manor can use the primary spell "Residence Control" within the manor to control the opening and closing of doors and windows, light torches, automatically wash dishes, and automatically become simple.

Meals etc...

When magical creatures move within the manor, the upper limit of mana is increased, and the recovery speed of mana is increased.

(The manor itself has a hidden barrier, which can reduce the chance of being discovered by passers-by and attacked by wild monsters to a certain extent)

——————

A manor with its own garrison!

I'll be nice! When it comes to cheating, the system is still better than you!

Holding the land deed in his hand also means that Gu Xiaoheng has officially become the owner of the Bloody Manor at this moment, and has the ability to acquire certain magical abilities within the manor.

"Check the status of the treasures in the basement of the manor!"

As soon as Gu Xiaoheng had a thought, a picture of the basement where the treasure was stored appeared in his mind.

"This is...!!" The moment he saw the detailed scene in the basement, Gu Xiaoheng's Adam's apple twitched in shock and he swallowed wildly.

.....

"So, sir, you got a batch of gold worth at least 300 gold coins from the basement so easily?"

On the way to Winterfell in the early morning, Maeve, who was riding with Gu Xiaoheng, was also almost shocked, and even almost fell off her horse when she heard the news.

At the same time, the Mimic Slime, which was in the form of a cat but was held in Maeve's arms, made a beeping sound to express its dissatisfaction at being almost thrown out by Maeve. The poor little guy, after experiencing the blood-sucking experience last night,

After the battle, the banshee became the only surviving undead servant under Gu Xiaoheng.

"Of course. With our relationship, can I still lie to you, Maeve? Well, they are all gold bars like this."

After happily taking out a gold bar from his arms and showing it to Maeve, Gu Xiaoheng quickly put it back into the player's backpack.

Geralt, who was riding horseback with the two of them, also shook his head when he saw this scene.

"Eternal, the road we are taking now is not very safe, please keep a low profile."

After nodding to show that he understood, Gu Xiaoheng deliberately lowered his voice and whispered in Maeve's ear: "Geralt is an honest man, let's not care about him. I just said I would give him some gold bars and he still doesn't want it!"

With the sharp hearing enhanced by the witcher, a black line brushed across Geralt's forehead when he heard what Gu Xiaoheng whispered.

"Hey, you two know what I can hear, right? Eternal, I guess you must be deliberately trying to make me angry!"

....

While playing around on horseback, everyone finally walked along the country road to the main road at the entrance of Winterfell.

The warm winter sun hanging high in the sky is enough to prove that the time is far from the early morning when Gu Xiaoheng and his party set out.

The clock tower towering in the center of the city and clanking as it chimes the time on time, clearly indicates the bustle of Winterfell at ten o'clock in the morning.

At the bustling city gate, there are carriages and pedestrians coming and going everywhere. In this noisy scene, many of them are the work of players who wander around like ADHD.

According to the rules, Gu Xiaoheng and his party dismounted like other pedestrians, and led the horses obediently through the routine inspection of the guards at the city gate.

"The entry fee of 10 copper coins per person is really not cheap!" Gu Xiaoheng complained softly with some distress when he saw the Ice Wolf flag of the Stark family, the guardian of the North, raised high on the top of the tall city wall.

"Sir, you are so stingy! Even Geralt didn't complain about how expensive it is, let alone you are now a rich man with no shortage of money to spend."

Standing in the warm sunshine, Maeve playfully made a face towards Gu Xiaoheng.

"Because I paid for his entrance fee!... It's strange that he feels so distressed!"

When they talked about this, Gu Xiaoheng, who paid three people even though they went to the city together, felt even more heartbroken, causing Geralt beside him to laugh evilly.

...

Under the leadership of Geralt, everyone walked along the stone sidewalks in Winterfell, which is connected in all directions.

When Gu Xiaoheng was so tired that his back ached and his legs were aching, and he was doubting his life, Geralt led everyone to stop in front of a bar.

This is a small bar that looks so dirty on the surface that it can make anyone who sees it doubt their life.

If Geralt hadn't pointed it out, maybe Gu Xiaoheng and Maeve wouldn't have noticed its existence at all.

Pedestrians hurriedly passing by on the roadside did not even glance at the bar. They acted as if they had been confused by some goblins who like to play tricks on people. They would only land on the bookstore and another restaurant next to the bar, as if they were not there at all.

It's like you can't even see the bar...

On the dirty plaque with a few scratches on the door frame of the bar, there are only four characters written in big words - Leaky Cauldron Bar!

"This is it, the Leaky Cauldron, a very famous place." Geralt took the initiative to signal the two of them to the place.

"I said Geralt, why are you so mysterious along the way! I really didn't expect you to bring me here. Is it for Gringotts in Diagon Alley?"

After agreeing with Gu Xiaoheng's conjecture with a mysterious look on his face, Geralt took out the Gringotts loan certificate he had dug out from the corpses of two NPC passers-by on the roadside the night before and pointed it toward the door of the bar.

A wave of void.

The next second, an invisible light curtain split in two in front of everyone, like an unlocked door, indicating that visitors could enter.

Seeing that his prepared methods were quite effective, Geralt pouted proudly.

"Look, it's really convenient to have this Gringotts loan voucher. At least we can pass the Muggle-repelling curse test at the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron without asking a wizard to guide us."

"Muggle?" Maeve looked very curious about the unfamiliar words in Geralt's mouth.

"That means those without magic, Maeve."

"Okay, everyone, please stop standing at the door stupidly and hurry in!"

Before Gu Xiaoheng could speak, Geralt had already pushed him into the bar.

As the entrance to Diagon Alley, the wizarding shopping mall in the north, the Leaky Cauldron is too dark and dirty.

Several wizards who looked like old women wearing traditional tall hats were sitting in the corner of the bar drinking small glasses of sherry. One of them had a furry ball-shaped creature on his head - a magic that is more popular with young wizards.

The creature "Pu Rong Rong" was recognized by Gu Xiaoheng at a glance.

Past the crowd of drinkers who were chatting animatedly, Geralt led everyone to a small patio behind the bar that was surrounded by walls.

There is nothing else here except a trash can and weeds.

Seeing this wall that he was so familiar with, Gu Xiaoheng remembered something that he had almost forgotten, but it was a little too late to mention it at this moment:

Among the three of them, not even one is a wizard. But if there is no magic wand, how can one alone knock on the magical door in front of him that cannot be opened without holding a magic wand?

"I know what you're thinking, Eternity. You're wondering why I didn't just ask any wizard in the bar to open the door for us with a wand, right? You really know a lot about Diagon Alley! Come on, come on

, you two look at what this is-"

A gray wand made of birch tree suddenly appeared in Geralt's hand like magic.

While Gu Xiaoheng was still surprised, Geralt put the wand into his hand and encouraged him: "This wand came from an old friend of mine. Anyway, he didn't need it when he gave it to me.

A magic wand. Give it a try, eternity! This is also the most effective and simple test to verify whether your Trial of Grass activation talent is related to wizards."

Ah this...

With some hesitation, but unable to resist Geralt's kindness, Gu Xiaoheng finally decided to do as he wanted.

After all, from the bottom of his heart, he was still willing to believe Geralt's previous judgment - the mysterious talent he obtained from the Trial of Green Grass was a wizard's talent.

Naturally, there is nothing wrong with trying your magic talent in front of the magic door leading to Diagon Alley.

"Count three pieces upward, two pieces horizontally, and knock three times."

After tapping the birch wand on the wall three times, a magical scene happened.

The brick that Gu Xiaoheng knocked on shook and began to move. A small hole appeared in the middle, and the hole became bigger and bigger.

Not long after, a broad archway that was wide enough for three people to pass side by side appeared in front of everyone, leading to a winding cobblestone street with no end in sight.
