The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 127 White Valley City

A shrill scream sounded suddenly, and wherever the light went, the wraith wailed in pain, as if his body was swallowed by flames.

The next moment, resentful spirits soared into the sky.

The wraith who was so severely injured disappeared without a trace in an instant, and turned into a cloud of black mist and fled towards the distance in a short time.

In the camp, Orens looked pale.

A crack appeared on the crystal pendant in his hand. As a knight, Orens was incapable of using this extraordinary item.

However, in the situation just now, Orens didn't have much choice. He could only forcibly use the power of the extraordinary item at the cost of consuming his vitality.

But fortunately, the effect is very significant!

With the shining of the holy light, the wraiths receded, and Orens was not affected too much.

"The power of a wizard?"

Orens turned around, looking at the direction where the wraith was escaping, a thought flashed in his eyes.

He already knew about wizards, and at the same time, he also knew about the Tower of the Dead behind the Western Territory, and the pendant on his body was given to him by someone from the Star Luo Society.

"My lord, are you all right?"

Silver Fox Knight's face was pale, and there was a trace of tension in his voice.

Orens shook his head, with a trace of rejoicing in his heart.

Fortunately, the pendant in his hand is an extraordinary item specially aimed at spirit bodies, otherwise he really didn't know how to deal with the attack of the resentful spirit just now.

"Tomorrow dawn, take Riverrun City!"

A gleam of light flashed in Orens' eyes. The attack of the resentful spirit did not make him fearful, but on the contrary, he became more determined to become the Lord of the Western Region.

The tide of magic power is surging again, and the lost continent is about to usher in an era of chaos.

Orens has become a great knight, but his inner ambition is more than that. He longs for a higher level, extraordinary and even legendary.

……

In the west, in the valley.

Standing in the white tower next to the deep pit, Normaros sat cross-legged, with ten white candles around him, and there was a wailing sound as they burned.

All around, the gray-white spiritual body floated like mist.

Norma Rose was pale and thin like a skeleton.

Since failing to attack the realm of wizards many years ago, Norma Rose's body has fallen into a state of extreme weakness. If he wants to maintain his vitality, he must feed on his soul.

In situ, Norma Rose's eyelids trembled.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, only to see a cloud of black mist surging towards him, burrowing back into the mirror like a wounded night owl.

"Father……"

In the mirror, Wraith Galo let out a whimpering sound.

Norma Rose's heart sank.

Seeing the other party's state, Norma Rose understood that the mission he had given had failed, and Orens hadn't died, but the wraith Jia Luo had been injured.

"Useless trash!"

Norma Rose's face was ugly, and when he waved his hand, gray flames hit him.

Wraith Jia Luo screamed, and immediately wanted to dodge, but was restrained in place by the chains that emerged from the mirror.

"No! Father, please forgive me..."

Jia Luo begged for a while, and his already injured body suffered terrible pain again.

Norma Rose was unimpressed.

Wraiths who could not complete the task had to be punished. Under the burning of the gray-white flame, Jia Luo soon died.

"Humph!"

Norma Rose snorted coldly, and then extinguished the gray flame.

On the spot, Norma Rose narrowed his eyes slightly.

Now that Wraith Galo has failed, Orens must have something to rely on, and after this incident, the other party will become more vigilant.

It has become more difficult to kill it.

"Forget it, let you live for a while."

Norma Rose's eyes flickered, and he said quietly: "When my strength recovers, I will have a way to kill you, as well as that brat in Night Crow City!"

Thinking of the person who killed Pierre, Norma Rose's eyes flashed a gloomy coldness.

Although Pierre was the only blood of Normaros, in fact, for him, Pierre's death did not cause sadness.

The other party acted on his own, and was bewitched by Malice to go to Night Crow City. Even if he didn't die, Norma Rose would not let him go easily.

However, the loss of the White Bone Wand was something that Norma Rose could not accept.

That transcendent item didn't belong to Pierre, and Norma Rose was his real owner. If it wasn't for his current poor condition, Norma Rose would have personally gone to Night Crow City to retrieve the Bone Wand.

……

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

Western territory, Baigu City.

On the vast and flat field, an army was marching towards Baigu City. Under the banner with the clan emblem printed with crows circling, was a black-haired boy riding a horse.

In the sky, black-feathered crows fluttered high like giant beasts.

"It's really getting bigger and bigger!"

Cavalier Kailo raised his head and looked at the giant crow flying across the sky, with a sigh on his face.

Sauron looked calm.

The crow Lal, who has been bred by various witchcraft methods, has grown bigger and bigger, which can be called terrifying in the crow group.

"Unfortunately, no magic ability has been cultivated."

Sauron shook his head, feeling a little pity in his heart. Using so many potions for Crow Lal did make it grow significantly in size.

However, just the potion does not give it the ability to awaken spells.

This made Sauron feel a little pity.

There was the sound of the river rushing in the distance. Sauron looked at it, and saw a white city sitting on the plain, with a rushing river in front of it.

"That's Baihe!"

Knight Kailo pointed forward and said, "Crossing this Baihe River is Baigu City. The last time I came here was more than ten years ago."

Sauron looked away.

The Baihe River is tens of meters wide, and the water is so fast that the suspension bridge on it can only accommodate five or six people walking side by side.

For Baigu City, the Baihe River is a natural moat.

As long as the suspension bridge is guarded, it will be difficult to break through even several times the number of enemies.

However, to Sauron's surprise, such an important Baihe Bridge is currently unguarded.

There was no one on the drawbridge.

"I'm afraid there is fraud!"

A hint of vigilance appeared on Kailo's face, and he looked at Baihe cautiously.

Sauron raised his hand, signaling the army to stop.

Then, with a thought in his mind, his consciousness resonated with Crow Lal.

In the sky, Lal let out a crow cry.

Immediately afterwards, it flew towards the front, overlooking the Baihe River and the suspension bridge, but did not find any ambush or abnormality.

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly.

Immediately, he controlled the crow Lal to the top of Baigu City, only to find that there was no one on the streets of the big city.

Moreover, the gates of the entire Baigu City were opened, as if welcoming the Night Crow Army into the city.

"A trap?"

A thought flashed in Sauron's eyes. With such an abnormal behavior, I am afraid that anyone will be vigilant and will not take risks easily.
