The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 12 The end of the trial
"Venomous Snake Shadow!"

Red Knight Mysella frowned, and a coldness flashed in her eyes. She had heard about this notorious assassin organization in the Lost Continent for a long time.

The Fanged Snake Shadow has an extremely ancient history in the Lost Continent.

It is said that as long as the employer can pay enough, even the king will become the target of the fangs and snakes.

Even, in history, the seven generations of kings of the Swamp Principality were assassinated by the fangs and snake shadows.

In the Lost Continent, the Viper Fanged Snake Shadow is notorious, and at the same time, it also makes people talk about it. The major kingdoms have jointly carried out an extermination operation, but they still failed to destroy it.

Now, the assassin of Viper Fang and Snake Shadow actually appeared in the Birch Forest.

There was a trace of solemnity on Myrcella's face, she raised her head and looked at the pale Evelyn, her eyes flashed with thought.

"It seems that Evelyn's background is not small!"

Next to him, Sauron's thoughts flickered. Being assassinated by the fangs and snake shadow is enough to prove that Evelyn's identity is not simple.

In Holy Knight Academy, Evelyn joined as a commoner.

Her knight talent is not good, and her personality is quite shy, but fortunately, she is still smart and has the potential to become a bachelor, so she spends most of her time with Martha's mentor in Shenghui Academy.

However, there are also some rumors that Goliath, a commoner genius, admires Evelyn very much, so he often stays with her.

But just now, what Goliath called Evelyn didn't seem to be the case.

"A member of the royal family?"

Sauron's eyes flashed. Not long ago, when the assassin attacked Evelyn, Goliath seemed to call Evelyn His Highness.

This also means that the civilians may be just pretending, and Evelyn's real identity comes from the royal family.

"Lord Myrcella!"

Just as Sauron was thinking, several students ran over, and one of them said in a deep voice: "The beast tide in the Birch Forest has been suppressed."

"Instructor Raymond is leading people to treat injured students."

Hearing the student's words, Myrcella's expression remained unchanged.

She walked up to Evelyn, first confirmed her safety, then explained a few words to Goliath, and then personally escorted Evelyn out of the birch forest.

Sauron frowned.

After the beast swarm incident just now, the spring hunting trial may end early. The beast swarm in the birch forest and the wild mountain bear are probably all snake shadows with poisonous fangs. They were arranged to assassinate Evelyn, and they almost died to succeed.

"Your name is Sauron, right?"

At this time, Goliath suddenly said, "Thanks to you just now, if you hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid even I might not be able to deal with those three assassins."

"It should be so." Sauron nodded slightly.

"Anyway, this time you have made a meritorious service!"

Goliath took a deep look at Sauron. As a student of the Holy Knight Academy, he was no stranger to Sauron and what happened to him.

It's just that Goliath did not expect that Sauron, who was unknown before, has now been promoted to the realm of knights.

"Let's go, go and have a look at Mentor Raymond."

Goliath shook his head, and beckoned Sauron to walk deep into the forest. In this spring hunting trial, in addition to the red knight Myrcella, Holy Radiance Academy also sent Raymond as the person in charge.

Deep in the birch forest.

In a large open space in Nuoda, surrounded by broken trees, Lei Meng and a group of students surrounded him, and the body of the mountain violent bear fell in the center.

Looking at the dead mountain bear, Sauron's heart throbbed.

It is really unimaginable how such a terrifying monster was killed by the red knight Myrcella.

"It's blood mad grass powder!"

Instructor Lei Meng squatted next to the corpse, inspecting the nose of the mountain storm bear with his hands, and found some red powder, with a serious look on his face.

Blood mad grass, a very rare plant.

Regardless of humans or beasts, if they eat it by mistake, they will fall into a state of chaos and excitement. The mountain bears and beast hordes in the birch forest are probably all because of this thing.

"It's been planned for a long time!"

Sauron sighed in his heart.

For this assassination operation, Viper Fang and Snake Shadow obviously planned in advance. First, he used the blood mad grass powder to trigger the beast tide, and then took advantage of the red knight Mysera, and Mentor Raymond was dragged by the mountain bear, and the three assassins hidden in the dark It was only in two waves.

Among them, the first wave of assassins was responsible for leading Goliath away.

As for the next wave, it is the real key. If Sauron hadn't acted in time, I am afraid that the plan of Fang Fang and Snake Shadow will succeed with a high probability.

"It's amazing swordsmanship!"

There was a hint of emotion on Lei Meng's face, looking at the injury on the mountain bear's chest, his eyes couldn't hide the astonishment.

As the strongest monster in the birch forest, the mountain storm bear is comparable to an intermediate knight.

After falling into a state of madness due to the blood mad grass powder, the destructive power was further enhanced, and even Lei Meng felt a little afraid.

However, as soon as the red knight Myrcella made a move, he beheaded him with a few moves.

That terrifying sword skill made Raymond's heart tremble, especially at Myrcella's age, he was destined to have even higher development potential in the future.

"Phil, find some students and bring the dead mountain bear back to the academy!"

Lei Meng raised his head and gave instructions to a student.

Afterwards, he turned around and looked at the direction where the red knight Myrcella and Evelyn left, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Fortunately nothing happened, otherwise there will be big trouble!"

Lei Meng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of Evelyn's identity, he felt a burst of rejoicing, but luckily the assassination of the snake with fangs was unsuccessful.

……

In the blink of an eye, night fell.

Due to the beast tide in the birch forest, this year's spring hunting trial ended early. Under the leadership of Lei Meng, the students returned to the capital one after another.

At this time, in a manor in the capital.

In a gorgeously furnished room, a woman is sitting on a chair. She has a very beautiful face, her long black hair is softly scattered on her shoulders, and her white neck is shining like moonlight. She is wearing a light short robe, which makes her beautiful figure even softer. .

"So, the assassin of the poisonous snake snake shadow appeared in the birch forest?"

Histor frowned slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said quietly: "And the Holy Knight Academy didn't notice this?"

"It seems... so."

The red knight Myrcella nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The beast horde in the birch forest, as well as those three assassins, are clearly planned for a long time."

"Perhaps, before the start of the Spring Hunting Trial, the Fanged Snake Shadow has already set his sights on His Royal Highness Evelyn!"

"Fortunately, Goliath tried his best to protect it, and that Sauron made a move, so it didn't cause a catastrophe." Myrcella's tone showed a hint of luck.

"I'm not too worried about Evelyn."

Histor shook his head, and said softly, "That girl has mother's relics on her body. There are only a few assassins, and they are not capable of harming her."

"What I care about is the attitude of Shenghui Academy!"
