The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 15 Letters from the West
"no need to worry."

Sauron shook his head, and said softly: "I still have nine golden blood potions in my hand, which are enough to stabilize the realm."

"Okay, then I'm not going to be polite!"

Ron's eyes flickered, looking at the golden blood in his hand, his heart felt hot. This is a precious potion exclusively for the Tal royal family.

If it is used well, Ron can even hit the realm of knights with this.

Thinking of becoming a knight, Ron couldn't help but twitch his lips, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who?"

Ron frowned, walked over to open the door, and saw a man in long gown standing there with an ugly expression on his face.

"Uncle Moore?"

Ron was a little surprised that it was his cousin who came.

Moore opened his mouth and was about to say something, but saw that there were outsiders in the room, so he hesitated and waved to Ron.

"Sorry, Sauron, excuse me."

Ron said hello, and then followed Moore out of the room. The two went outside to talk, and the content seemed to be related to the family business.

"...What? Is father important?"

"How did this happen? Where's Uncle Broca?"

"Damn Crusaders!"

The conversation outside soon ended, Moore turned and left, and Ron, who returned to the room, turned a little gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Sauron asked.

"……nothing."

Ron shook his head, forced a smile, and said, "Something happened to the family business, and my father has almost dealt with it."

"Forget it, stop talking about it."

"Sauron, now that you have been promoted to the knight realm, what are your plans next?" Ron said with a serious expression on his face.

"Plan?" Sauron frowned slightly.

"Of course it's about Night Crow City."

Ron lowered his voice and said, "Your father, Lord Orens, has been missing for so long. Night Crow City must be in chaos. Now a lord is urgently needed to stabilize people's hearts."

"And according to the law, you who have been promoted to a knight already have the qualifications to inherit Night Crow City!"

Ron's words stopped and did not continue, but Sauron already understood what the other party meant.

"I don't plan to leave the capital for the time being."

Sauron shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Even if I can inherit Night Crow City according to the principality's law, but I don't have enough strength, even if I sit in that position, I'm afraid it will be a disaster!"

"……Right."

Ron nodded, his eyes flashed with complexity. Compared with the events in Night Crow City, the troubles in his family's business were nothing at all.

After parting with Ron, Sauron returned to the dormitory.

Being promoted to the realm of knights only gave Sauron a certain ability to protect himself. As for returning to the western region to inherit Night Crow City, it was something he had never considered.

"We still have to continue to improve our strength!"

A gleam of light flashed in Sauron's eyes. Looking at the nine golden blood potions, he took a deep breath with a firm expression on his face.

In this extraordinary world, strength is the basis by which everything is measured.

In the days that followed, life gradually returned to calm.

After the turmoil of the Spring Hunting Trial ended, Sauron never saw Evelyn again, and Goliath also graduated from the Holy Knight Academy ahead of schedule not long after.

According to reliable sources, Goliath has joined the Kingsguard.

As a guard exclusively for the royal family, the Kingsguard is the dream of every knight. Goliath, who was born as a commoner, can join it, which is equivalent to stepping into the noble class with half a foot.

After the end of the Spring Hunting Trial, Sauron stayed at the Holy Academy.

Relying on the ten golden blood medicines given by the second princess Histor, he began to practice in closed doors. In less than ten days, he raised the level of the night crow breathing method again.

On this day, in the dormitory.

The data panel appeared in front of his eyes, and Sauron looked at the night crow breathing method that had been upgraded to Lv5, and the luster in his eyes flickered slightly.

"As expected of the Golden Blood Potion!"

Sauron sighed in his heart, the blood of gold is indeed the royal family's exclusive potion, and its effect on improving breathing is higher than that of graphite potion.

During these ten days, he only used up two golden blood potions.

However, the Night Crow's Breathing Technique has improved two levels in a row. According to this speed, perhaps when all the golden blood is used up, Sauron will have a chance to become an intermediate knight.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, which disturbed Sauron's thoughts.

He got up and opened the door. A messenger stood outside, handed Sauron a letter sealed with wax paint, and then turned and left.

"A letter from the western border?"

Sauron frowned, went back to the dormitory and opened the letterhead, and found that the letter came from the western region, signed by the lord of Baigu City in the western region.

There isn't much on the letterhead.

After reading it, Sauron frowned slightly, and put the letter aside, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Engagement? Is there any?"

Sauron stroked his chin.

The letter was sent by the lord of White Valley City, who said that Orens, the lord of Night Crow City, had a marriage contract with White Valley City.

Today, Sauron is about to come of age.

According to the agreement of the two lords, he should return to the western region as soon as possible to complete the wedding with the youngest daughter of the lord of Baigu City.

At the same time, the lord of Baigu City also said.

Since the lord of Night Crow City disappeared, the current Night Crow City is in a state of panic. As the legal successor, Sauron should return to Night Crow City to take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible. As long as Sauron is willing to marry his daughter, he is willing to give Soren some help.

"Ah!"

Sauron chuckled and threw the letter aside.

The attitude of the lord of White Valley City was obvious, but Sauron did not intend to respond to the other party. No matter whether he had a marriage contract with the lord of White Valley City's youngest daughter or not, in terms of the current situation, it was impossible for Sauron to return rashly. western border.

What's more, the lord of White Valley City asked Sauron to go back to the west to marry his youngest daughter, and he probably didn't have good intentions.

Today's nobles in the western region, who do not stare at Night Crow City.

However, due to the laws of the Principality, no one dared to annex Night Crow City blatantly. It has to be said that Dover, the lord of White Valley City, is a very smart person.

He wanted to get Night Crow City, but he didn't want to be the first bird.

Therefore, the lord of Baigu City mentioned the marriage agreed with Orens many years ago. As long as Sauron returns to the west, he must marry his youngest daughter.

And once the wedding is completed, Dover will also help Sauron inherit Night Crow City.

Of course, this kind of succession is only superficial. The lord of White Valley City, Dover, will become the real master of Night Crow City, and Sauron will become the opponent's puppet.

The lord of White Valley City had a good plan, but Sauron had no intention of going back to the Western Territory.

To him, Night Crow City is not important. Before he has enough strength, even if he successfully inherits Night Crow City, he will only put himself in danger.

Therefore, Sauron's biggest goal at present is to improve his own strength.

As for the situation of Night Crow City, it is out of his consideration for the time being. If there is a chance, it doesn't matter if he considers taking back Night Crow City in the future.
