The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 121 Two months later
After Angel left, the tent fell into silence again.

Hester was expressionless, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Should we really rely on the power of the Star Luo Society to fight against Garen's Eastern Border Army?"

Beside, Myrcella hesitated.

"Angel can't be trusted."

There was a glimmer of coldness in Hester's eyes, but then he rubbed his forehead with a look of helplessness on his face.

For Hester, the Star Luo Society is indeed unreliable.

However, the opponent is indeed Hester's chance against Galen.

After all, the last time the Wraith struck, Hester had already understood that there was another wizarding organization behind Gallon.

Tower of the Dead!
The vengeful spirit attack that almost killed Histor before was the method of the Tower of the Dead. If the other party wanted to support Galen to the top, he naturally wanted to eradicate all competitors.

Today, the situation in the Duchy of Tar is divided into two parts.

The battle between Histor and Gallon will determine the ownership of the throne, and at the same time, it is also a dispute between the Star Luo Society and the Tower of the Dead.

"Then... what shall we do next?" Myrcella pondered.

"Just wait and see."

Hist's eyes flickered, and the war in the peak, mountain and gorge was difficult to end in a short time. After the last encounter, Hist did not dare to act rashly again.

……

New calendar 827, recovery season, February.

The brilliance of dawn sprinkled the earth, and as the ice and snow gradually melted, the earth became muddy, and the trees sprouted buds one after another.

Western Territory, Night Crow City.

In the room on the second floor of the castle, Sauron sat cross-legged on the bed. After a round of meditation ended, he slowly opened his eyes.

----------

It has been more than two months since the war with the Western Border Army.

Perhaps it was the last failure that taught the Duke of the Western Territory a lesson. Recently, the other party has not taken any action.

In this regard, Sauron also took advantage of the trend.

Using these two months, he cultivated with peace of mind, improved his strength as much as possible, and all statistics have improved significantly, especially in terms of spiritual attributes.

At the same time, three new runes also condensed in Sauron's sea of ​​consciousness.

Roar of the Wild Lion, Shadow Blade, Swamp of Darkness.

Among them, the roar rune of the wild lion comes from the breathing method of the wild lion. After Sauron killed the blood lion knight Rokas, he got a potion formula from him.

And the potion called [Lion's Blood Secret Medicine] happened to be the exclusive potion for the Wild Lion Breathing Method. Relying on the cooperation of the potion and the proficiency system, Sauron quickly practiced the Wild Lion Breathing Method to the extreme .

As for the Shadow Blade Rune and the Dark Swamp Rune, they were all condensed by the idea of ​​the Dark Spirit's Sacrifice.

Since then, nineteen runes have condensed in Sauron's sea of ​​consciousness.

Flutter and rinse!
There was a sound outside, Sauron raised his hand and let the crow Ral land on it.

"It's grown bigger again!"

Looking at the crow Ral who was already comparable to a calf, Sauron had a sigh on his face.

Since Lal started taking the potion, the other party's size has become bigger and bigger. Over time, he has grown to this appearance now.

Moreover, according to Sauron's guess, this should not be the limit of Lal, and after some witchcraft transformation, maybe it won't be long before Lal can fly to the sky with Sauron on his back.

After checking Lal's status, Sauron let him out of the window.

Then, he walked out of the room.

At this moment, Frost happened to be walking towards him, his excitement hard to hide on his face.

"There's news!" Frost said excitedly.

"What news?" Sauron asked in confusion.

"Lord Orens!"

Frost took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and whispered: "He is still alive, and, now, he is in Winter City!"

"Winter City?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Sauron's face, and he asked doubtfully, "Isn't that the main city in the northern border? How could father be there?"

Frost quickly explained.

It turned out that during the Battle of Yueshan City, Orens was seriously injured in covering the alliance army's breakout, but after a lot of fighting, he finally escaped.

Afterwards, he planned to lead his remnant soldiers back to Night Crow City, but was hunted down by the Western Territory Army, and had no choice but to leave the Western Territory.

After hearing the news, the Duke of Porta in the north immediately sent an army to meet Orens and secretly brought him to Cold Winter City.

In order to prevent the news from leaking and attracting revenge from the Duke of the West, Orens did not contact Night Crow City after he came to Winter City.

It wasn't until a few months later that Orens' injuries fully recovered and he broke through his own realm, that he sent Raven to Night Crow City.

"This is a letter from the raven."

Frost handed a letter to Sauron, and the handwriting on it was indeed from Orens.

"Father has been promoted to the realm of Grand Knight?"

Looking at the contents of the letter, Sauron looked thoughtful.

He had already guessed that Orens did not die in Yueshan City, but he did not expect that the other party went to the northern border with the help of Duke Botha.

And, now he has successfully promoted to the realm of great knight.

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that if a senior knight wants to be promoted to a great knight, he really needs life and death honing. Although Orens was seriously injured in the battle of Yueshan City, he was blessed by misfortune and got the opportunity to be promoted to a great knight.

But now, the other party is planning to return to the Western Territory and start another war.

However, this time, Orens will have the support of the Duke of Botha in the North, and challenge the authority of the Duke of the West as a newly promoted Grand Knight.

"So, His Highness Histor, is it intentional to support father to replace the Duke of Ferrs?"

Sauron stroked his chin and said.

"It seems that there is a possibility!"

A flash of excitement flashed in Frost's eyes, and he said, "The situation in the Principality of Tal is chaotic now. Since Fers is unwilling to stand by His Royal Highness, he is naturally her enemy!"

"Olens has been promoted to Grand Knight."

"According to the unspoken rules of the Duchy of Tar, only the Great Knight can be granted the title of Duke. If we can defeat Fels on the battlefield, it is not impossible to replace him!"

Frost said with a hint of excitement on his face.

As a bachelor who has served three generations of Night Crow City, Frost has no descendants. In his eyes, Night Crow City is everything to him.
