The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 14 Golden Elixir
"Yes!" Sauron nodded.

"I'm Evelyn's sister."

The woman in the carriage spoke softly, and said, "When we were in the birch forest, thank you for your rescue. Please accept a little thank you."

While talking, another Royal Guard came out carrying a wooden box.

"This is?"

Sauron frowned. The wooden box seemed to be very heavy, but he didn't know what was inside.

"By the way, this is for you."

At this time, a voice came from the carriage again, and at the same time a palm was stretched out, saying: "I also know something about your father."

"Although from my standpoint, it's inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of the Western Territory."

"However, if you have any difficulties, you can come to this place to find me!"

Saying that, a piece of parchment with the address on it fell in front of Sauron, and that white jade-like palm was also retracted into the carriage.

Then, the wheels rolled.

Escorted by two Kingsguards, the carriage quickly disappeared into the street. Sauron picked up the parchment on the ground and looked at it.

There was an address written on it, which he kept in mind.

Immediately afterwards, Sauron picked up the wooden box again, and when he opened it, a golden light radiated from it, making his pupils shrink.

Immediately, Sauron closed the box.

Returning to the college dormitory as quickly as possible, Sauron locked the door, opened the wooden box, and took out all the contents.

A full thousand gold coins, plus ten golden potions.

"Could it be that this is the rumored golden potion?"

Sauron looked at the golden potion in the wooden box, his eyes flickered slightly, and he had also heard about the golden potion specially used for the royal family.

Golden Elixir, also known as Golden Blood!

It was the exclusive potion of the Duke of Tal's royal family. It was extremely expensive, and it had a high auxiliary effect on any breathing method.

"It seems that Evelyn is indeed a member of the royal family!"

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind. The golden blood potion in the wooden box proved once again that Evelyn was the royal blood of the Duchy of Tar.

The woman in the black carriage claimed to be Evelyn's sister.

"Second Princess, Histor!"

A figure appeared in Sauron's mind. According to his memory, the current King of Tal did not have many heirs in his lifetime.

From the perspective of age and status, the second princess, Histor, is the most suitable for the woman in the carriage.

After all, with the same blood of the royal family, there are not many who are qualified to command the Royal Guards, and even fewer people can take out ten golden bloods at once.

"It's a big deal!"

Sauron sighed, and a smile appeared on his face. With these ten golden bloods, he no longer needed to think about potions in a short time.

At the same time, that one thousand gold coins can also do many things for Sauron.

The next day, early morning.

The sun rises from the east, the brilliance of dawn shines on the earth, and the ice and snow on the eaves melt and fall down.

Sauron came to Ron's residence early in the morning.

"Thanks, Ron."

Putting two hundred gold coins and a golden blood potion in a box, Sauron handed them to Ron, which was regarded as repaying his debt.

"The thing about the birch forest is true?"

Ron took the box, with a complex look on his face, hesitantly said: "You have really been promoted to a knight, and you have joined hands with Goliath to kill three assassins with fangs and snake shadows?"

The assassination incident of the Spring Hunting Trial has now spread in Shenghui Academy.

At that time, Ron was also in the birch forest. Although he didn't witness the assassination, he experienced the riot of the beast tide and was almost involved in it.

After returning to the academy, Ron heard about the fangs and snake shadow assassins.

Several students witnessed the scene of Sauron fighting the assassins with their own eyes. Therefore, it is no longer a secret that he was promoted to a knight.

"And thank you for your help."

Sauron nodded and said with a light smile, "If it wasn't for your two hundred gold coins, I wouldn't have been able to get the graphite potion to hit the knight realm."

"Oh my god! That's the realm of knights!"

Ron rubbed his forehead, with an envious expression on his face, and said quietly: "You have already taken that step before you graduate."

"In the next few years, can't you walk sideways in the academy?"

Shenghui Academy is the best place for knight training in the entire Tar Principality, but among the hundreds of students who graduate every year, very few can be promoted to knights.

In the Principality of Tar, and even the Lost Continent, knights have special meaning.

For commoners, that represented a change of status. In most cases, only those who were promoted to knights were eligible to become nobles.

The leap of class has caused countless people to fight for it.

As a businessman, Ron's father has accumulated a lot of wealth through the struggle of his grandparents and grandchildren for three generations. However, because no knights were born in the family, he has never been able to become a nobleman.

It was also for this reason that Ron's father wanted to send Ron to the Holy Knight Academy no matter what.

However, Ron's talent is only mediocre.

If you want to be promoted to a knight, in addition to rigorous training, and the help of resources, the success rate can be slightly improved.

"Don't worry."

Sauron patted Ron on the shoulder, and said with a light smile, "With your ability, you may not have the opportunity to be promoted to the knight realm before graduation."

"Me? Maybe?"

Ron shrugged his shoulders, with a bit of self-deprecation in his tone, then opened the box and found that besides two hundred gold coins, there was also a golden potion inside.

"Is this... golden blood?"

Seeing the medicine in the box, Ron's face changed slightly, his pupils shrank for a while, and he asked in surprise, "Where did you get this thing!?"

Sauron recounted what happened last night.

"It seems that the rumors are true!"

Ron's face was agitated, his voice trembling a little, and he said, "Evelyn is indeed a member of the royal family, and her sister is probably Second Highness Hester!"

"It's possible." Sauron nodded.

"Is it not only possible?"

Ron couldn't help the twinkle in his eyes, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Except His Royal Highness, who can take out ten golden blood potions at once as a reward?"

"Damn it! Why didn't such a good thing happen to me?"

"If I had known that Miss Evelyn was His Royal Highness's younger sister, I should have behaved well, and maybe I could win her favor!"

Ron scratched his head for a while, looking very regretful.

Sauron rolled his eyes. Even if he knew Evelyn's identity in advance, with Ron's status, he might not have the right to approach her.

How can commoners be allowed to touch the blood of the royal family?

Even the genius knight Goliath, by Evelyn's side, is no more than a guard at most, and this is an opportunity that many people can't ask for.

"That's right, Sauron."

At this moment, Ron spoke again, and said, "Do you really want to give me this golden blood potion? You have just been promoted to the knight realm, don't you need potions to stabilize it?"
