The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 105 Promotion to Third Level
Back in Night Crow City, Sauron handed over all affairs to Frost.

Afterwards, he began to retreat and meditate.

To be promoted to a third-level apprentice, breaking through five points of mental strength is the basic requirement. For ordinary people, this may take a long process.

However, Sauron has a proficiency system, as long as there are enough resources, he can quickly increase his mental power and complete the promotion.

Westlands, Stormwind City.

The light of dawn sprinkled in the garden, and on the petals of silver-white roses, the water droplets refracted the sunlight, as pure as crystal.

In the sky, a raven slowly descended.

Manliss, who was walking in the courtyard, stretched out her hand and let the raven fall, took a letter from the other's lap, and frowned slightly after checking the contents.

"Pierre is dead?"

Man Lisi's complexion was slightly gloomy, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Although she didn't feel any sadness about Pierre's death, the accountability from the Tower of the Dead gave Malice some headaches.

After all, Pierre's going to Night Crow City was not an order from the Tower of the Dead, but Manris took advantage of him.

If Pierre is okay, the Tower of the Dead will turn a blind eye at most.

But now, Pierre died in Night Crow City, which made the Tower of the Dead very dissatisfied, and even the tower owner ordered Malice to account for this matter.

"What a waste!"

There was a gloomy look in Manlisi's eyes.

Pierre, that guy, made a strong promise before he set off that he would capture Night Crow City and give it to himself as a gift.

But now, he died in Night Crow City.

"The person who can kill Pierre is probably at least a third-level apprentice!"

Man Lisi's eyes flickered, and she said, "Could it be someone from the [Star Luo Society]? Or, there are other wizarding organizations that want to get involved in the Duchy of Tal?"

After thinking for a moment, Manlis shook her head.

Insufficient information made it impossible for her to analyze the specific situation of Night Crow City. She only learned of Pierre's death through the Tower of the Dead.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.

"Miss Manliese."

The knight in armor knelt on one knee and said, "Just now there was news from the Chishui River Plain that Lord Rocas' army has less than ten days' supply of food and grass. I hope Stormwind City can send another batch over there."

"okay, I get it."

Manlis remained expressionless, and waved her hand to indicate that the knight could step back.

Then, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

That blood lion knight, Rokas, is also a waste. He commanded an army of ten thousand people, but he couldn't even take down a Chishui City, and his granary was burned down, so he needed the support of Stormwind City.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself!"

Manlis's eyes flickered, the war in the Duchy of Tar had just begun, and the unification of the Western Region was only the first step of the Tower of the Dead plan.

If even this cannot be completed as soon as possible, Manlis simply cannot explain to the Tower of the Dead.

……

In the 826th year of the new calendar, November is winter.

The bitter cold wind whizzed past, white snowflakes fell from the sky, fell on the ground, and soon turned into pure white.

Western Territory, Night Crow City.

In the room, Sauron stood by the window, looking at the snowflakes drifting outside, a sigh flashed in his eyes. Before he knew it, he had been in this world for nearly a year.

On the spot, Sauron thought about it.

----------

A light curtain appeared in front of his eyes, and Sauron's eyes flickered slightly.

More than two months have passed since Orens led his army to the Chishui River Plain. Sauron stayed in Night Crow City and spent most of his time in meditation every day.

Relying on the proficiency system, Sauron's spiritual power grew very fast, and now it has reached the level of 4.9, which is only a thin line away from the third-level apprentice.

At the same time, as he continued to meditate, three runes once again condensed in Sauron's sea of ​​consciousness.

Among them, Soul Storm, as the name suggests, is a kind of mental attack rune.

The Binding of Shadows is a control rune.

As for the power runes.

With a thought in his mind, Sauron raised his hand, and the White Bone Wand not far away slowly floated up, and then flew into his palm.

To mind the imperial object is the effect of the mind power rune.

However, with Sauron's current ability, the items he can manipulate are limited. Depending on the quality and weight of the items, when he uses the runes of mind power, the magic power consumed is also different.

"Next, it's time to attack the third-level realm!"

A gleam of determination flashed in Sauron's eyes. After these two months of preparation, he already has the qualifications to hit the third-level apprenticeship.

Since killing Pierre last time, Sauron has been guarding against the Tower of the Dead's revenge, but there has been no movement.

Flutter and rinse!
There was a sound outside, Sauron opened the window, and the crow Ral flew in immediately.

Landing on Sauron's arm, Lal, whose body was already like an eagle, shook the snowflakes on his body, and a glimmer of agility flashed in his black pupils.

A satisfied smile appeared on Sauron's face.

Ever since he mastered potion science, he began to cultivate the crow Lal, and as he drank each of the precious potions, Lal's size also grew several times.

At the same time, its body also began to change. The black feathers were as hard as steel, and a pair of sharp claws could easily crush rocks.

In the world of wizards, cultivating demonic creatures is something that many extraordinary people will do. After all, magical creatures strengthened by witchcraft are the best help in battle.

After checking Lal's status, Sauron turned around and went to a room on the second floor of the castle.

In the study room, there are two bookshelves by the wall, and a desk in the center. The fire is dancing in the fireplace, exuding a warm atmosphere.

Behind the desk, Frost was sitting in a chair dealing with the work at hand.

He was covered with a thick blanket, and the warm fireplace was right next to him, but due to his old age, he still felt a little cold.

"Major Frost." Sauron said softly.

"Sauron, you are here."

Frost raised his head and put on a pair of glasses. When he saw that it was Sauron, a smile appeared on his face, and motioned for him to sit beside him.
