The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

"Oh?"

Hearing what the young girl Lina said, Sauron couldn't help being interested.

"Tell me, I can think about it."

"Master Wizard should have discovered that the Hidden Ring is not complete, right?"

Lina took a deep breath and said: "Our Aylin family served a wizard hundreds of years ago, so we got this Hidden Ring."

"However, due to some reasons, the family has lost contact with wizards. Apart from this hidden ring, we don't have any inheritance about wizards."

Saying that, Lina sighed.

"As far as I know, hundreds of years ago, the Lord Wizard bestowed the Hidden Ring on the Ayrin family in order to let the family have a trump card to pass on."

"The Hidden Ring is the family's biggest secret, and the power of this ring can only be used at the most critical moment!"

"Hundreds of years have passed."

"Due to the use of the Hidden Ring by the ancestors of the past dynasties, the interior of this Hidden Ring has already been damaged, and the effect is greatly reduced."

"That's why my father lost to Farrow!"

Lina's complexion was complicated, she looked at the hidden ring in Sauron's hand with sadness from her heart.

"These have nothing to do with me."

Sauron shook his head and said softly, "I just want to know if you can repair this Hidden Ring and make it a complete enchanted item?"

"can."

Lina nodded, and said: "The Aylin family has passed down the Ring of Hidden for hundreds of years, and when generations of clan members used the Ring of Hidden, they have been looking for ways to restore it."

"It's just that it hasn't been successful before."

"Until my father's generation, I found a way to restore the hidden ring from some ancient books!"

"What way?" Sauron raised his eyebrows.

Lina lowered her head, but didn't speak any more, obviously intending to keep a hand as a condition for trading with Sauron.

"Heh, how do I know if you're lying?" Sauron asked.

"I could swear!"

Lina hurriedly said: "In the name of the Ayrin family, I guarantee that everything I say is true. If there are any lies, my soul will fall into hell forever!"

Hearing Lina's oath, Sauron was unmoved.

"If you don't want to believe me, forget it."

Sauron shrugged and said: "Anyway, it is enough to get this hidden ring."

After that, Sauron was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute, my lord wizard."

When Lina saw this, a trace of panic appeared on her face, and she quickly said, "I can tell you how to restore the hidden ring."

"However, Lord Wizard must promise me to avenge the Ayrin family!"

Sauron stopped in his tracks and pondered for a moment.

"Okay, I promise you."

Sauron turned around and said softly, "I can help you avenge."

"However, if you dare to deceive me, you probably won't want to know what the price will be."

Facing Sauron's threat, Lina didn't show any panic.

Ever since the Aylin family experienced betrayal and ended in extermination, that cowardly little girl has grown too much now.

"it is good!"

Lina nodded, and said in a deep voice, "I will tell you the secret of the Hidden Ring right now, and please don't break your promise, Mr. Wizard."

"If you want to repair the Hidden Ring, you must use your soul!"

"Soul?" Sauron frowned.

"That's right, the soul of the Ayrin family."

Lina looked calm, and said: "The wizard who the family served at the beginning, when he bestowed this hidden ring, let the ancestors make a blood contract with him!"

"Only members of the Ayrin family can use the power of this Hidden Ring."

"At the same time, only the souls of the Ayrin family can be used to repair it, thus breaking the contract set by the ancestors and wizards!"

After listening to Lina's words, Sauron was thoughtful.

The secret of the Hidden Ring is not complicated. To put it simply, this magical item was branded by the blood of the Ayrin family through certain methods when it was produced.

Therefore, only members of the Ayrin family can use it.

But now, with hundreds of years of use, the Hidden Ring has been damaged inside, and it can only be repaired by using the souls of the Ayrin family.

As long as all these are completed, the Hidden Ring will also become complete.

At that time, this demonized item will not only be able to exert its real effect, but at the same time, it will no longer need to bear the exclusive restrictions of the Ayrin family, because the souls of the people of the Ayrin family have already fused with it.

"So, are you willing to sacrifice yourself to make the Hidden Ring complete?"

Sauron looked at Lina.

After experiencing the rebellion in White Tower City, the Aylin family had been brutally exterminated, and now only Lina is left alive.

Therefore, if you want to restore the Hidden Ring, you can only pay the price of Lina's soul.

"Yes I do."

Lina nodded, with a trace of determination on her face, then smiled wryly, shook her head and said, "What's more, what if I don't want to?"

"Those who use the Hidden Ring must bear the curse of death!"

While speaking, Lina had complicated eyes and said quietly, "I'm just a mortal, and I know very well the consequences of using the Hidden Ring."

"Now I have no way out."

"The only requirement is that before I die, I can watch those traitors pay the price!"

In situ, Sauron fell into silence.

"Okay, I promise you."

After a while, Sauron nodded and said, "Take me to the White Tower City. I will let you enjoy the joy of revenge before you die."

"Thank you, Mister Wizard."

Lina breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved expression on her face.

……

Swamp Principality, White Tower City.

On the gray-white city wall, there are soldiers wearing strong and sharp clothes. The city gate is wide open, but there are not many people coming in and out.

Not long ago, White Tower City experienced a bloody rebellion.

The Ayrin family that had ruled the White Tower City for hundreds of years was destroyed overnight, and the new lord, Faro, became the master of the city.

Although it has not been recognized by the king's capital, this does not prevent Faro from ruling the city. Anyway, in the White Tower City today, there is only one senior knight in Faro.

Inside the White Tower City, in a castle.

It is still a gray-white rock castle, with exquisite sculptures everywhere, fountains in the garden, and flowers around it exuding fragrance.

In the courtyard, a young man was sitting there.

Not far away, several naked maids were playing in the garden. Farrow looked at the scene in front of him with a satisfied expression on his face.

"This is the treatment a lord should have!"

The corners of Farrow's lips twitched slightly. After destroying the Ayrin family, he has become the lord of the White Tower City, and it's time for him to enjoy the beauty of life a little bit.

"My lord, let me have a drink with you."

Ahead, a fair-skinned, naked girl walked over, as if she had no bones, and snuggled into Farrow's arms.

"Okay."

Farrow smiled, and kneaded the woman's body politely, which caused the other party to laugh, but he seemed a little careless.

Although the woman in his arms was also very beautiful, to Farrow, she was just a vulgar fan, and another figure appeared in his heart.

"Sooner or later you will be mine, Lina!"

A gleam of fire flashed in Farrow's eyes, thinking of the most beautiful girl in the Ayrin family, he felt a little hard to support, and pressed the woman in his arms under him.

However, at this moment.

When Farrow was about to enjoy some joy, there was a sudden noise outside, followed by screams.

Suddenly, Farrow's heart skipped a beat.

"who is it?"

Farrow got up abruptly, pushed the woman away casually, and after putting on his clothes, he was about to go outside. He wanted to see who was causing trouble in his own territory.

Still, Farrow hadn't gotten very far.

Bang!
The gate of the castle was suddenly blasted open, and two figures walked in slowly, surrounded by soldiers from the White Tower City, but they dared not step forward.

"Lina!?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Farrow's eyes, and he recognized the woman in the two figures as Lina Ailin, whom he had been thinking about.

However, the man next to him was someone Farrow had never seen before.

"Lord Lord!"

Next to it, a knight rolled and crawled, came to Farrow, and said in a trembling voice: "This guy is a monster, he killed many brothers."

Farrow's face darkened.

"Take it for me!"

Following Farrow's order, the surrounding White Tower City soldiers rushed forward one after another, as if they were going to take Sauron down the next moment.

But at this moment, an incredible scene happened.

On the spot, Sauron thought about it.

The formless thought power seemed to turn into waves, overturning all the soldiers to the ground in an instant, Farrow's pupils shrank, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

"Wizard!!!" Farrow said in amazement.

Recalling certain rumors about the Ayrin family, Farrow felt a chill in his heart, and uncontrollable fear began to spread throughout his body.

"Is that him?"

Sauron looked calm, and looked at Farrow in front of him, who seemed to be the only high-ranking knight in this White Tower City.

"Yes, it's him!"

Next to her, Lina gritted her teeth, a trace of strong hatred flashed in her eyes.

Sauron nodded slightly.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty the Wizard."

On the opposite side, Farrow's expression changed, and he said hastily: "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to help the Ayrin family deal with me?"

"As long as the wizard does not interfere with this matter, you will be a friend of White Tower City forever!"

While speaking, Farrow's eyes flickered.

He had heard rumors about wizards a long time ago, but he had never been clear about the power of these mysterious beings.

As a senior knight, Farrow is very confident in his own strength.

However, he didn't dare to be careless in the face of the mysterious wizard.

"Is there anyone else besides him?"

At this time, Sauron spoke again, and did not answer Farrow's words, but asked Lina who was at the side, since the matter of the Ayrin family is to be resolved, it is naturally best to do it all at once.

"There are still some minions!"

Lina hesitated, although the person she most wanted to kill was right in front of her eyes, but if possible, she also did not want to let go of other enemies.

"Okay, I see."

Sauron nodded, looked at Farrow, and said quietly: "Call all your men over, I don't want to waste time."

Hearing Sauron's words, a trace of coldness flashed in Farrow's eyes.

"So, Your Excellency must be my enemy?"

Farrow's face was as gloomy as water, and he suddenly took out a signal flare from his arms, and fired it directly, a cloud of fireworks bloomed over the White Tower City.

Sauron frowned.

Farrow sneered. He didn't know the strength of the wizard on the opposite side, but it was definitely not a bad thing to go all out.

On the spot, Sauron didn't make a move immediately.

Not long after, a famous knight came, all under Farrow's men. Looking at the enemies around, Lina's eyes flashed with intense hatred.

"It's these people!"

Lina gritted her teeth, and said coldly: "Everyone of them is a traitor, everyone has the blood of the Ayrin family on their hands!"

Many knights surrounded the two of them.

Sauron looked around, feeling the aura of the surrounding enemies. Except for Faro, there was not even a high-level knight.

Such an enemy, even if Sauron has not been promoted to the realm of a formal wizard, it is completely easy to deal with.

"Last chance."

On the opposite side, Farrow tried to try one last time, saying: "Your Excellency, leave now, and I can pretend that nothing happened!"

Sauron said nothing.

"My lord, don't be afraid!"

At this time, a bearded middle-aged knight suddenly had a smirk on his face, and said coldly: "It's just a wizard, not as powerful as the legend says, I even killed one half a year ago!"

Hearing the bearded knight's words, Farrow couldn't help being taken aback.

Sauron also frowned.

"Have you ever killed a wizard?"

There was a bit of hesitation in Farrow's tone, as if he didn't quite believe the bearded knight's words.

"Not bad!"

The bearded knight straightened his chest, with a confident expression on his face, and said with a sneer, "When I was doing business in Feng Kecheng, I met a wizard on the way. I thought he was someone."

"In the end, even I couldn't resist an axe, and that guy died!"

While speaking, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the bearded man.

Farrow looked strange.

This bearded man was an intermediate knight who had joined him not long ago, and he had always been the leader of the gang in the Swamp Principality.

It wasn't until later that this guy provoked the Aylin family, and as a result, the gang was wiped out. As a last resort, he chose to join Farrow.

Hearing this guy say that he had killed a wizard, Farrow naturally didn't believe it, but seeing the swearing look on the other side's face, he couldn't help being a little puzzled.

Could it be that the rumored wizard is really not that powerful?

"If you don't believe me, I'll smash this kid's head!"

The bearded man grinned grimly.

After all, before Farrow opened his mouth, he swung his ax and rushed straight at Sauron with the aura of an evil spirit.

"Alright!"

In the distance, Farrow narrowed his eyes slightly, and it would not be a bad thing to let the bearded knight try the wizard's strength. If the opponent is really vulnerable, Farrow will definitely make him regret appearing in the White Tower City.

In situ, Sauron looked calm.

It wasn't until the battle ax in the bearded man's hand struck that he slowly raised his head, and with a wave of his hand, a dark green flame bloomed.

The next moment, the bearded man's expression changed.

Incomparably intense pain came from his chest, as if his soul was being burned.
