The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

"what!!!"

Accompanied by an incomparably shrill scream, the bearded man was swallowed by the dark green flames, and in just a moment, he had already turned into a white bone.

Surroundings, the knights of White Tower City changed countenance.

Sauron was expressionless.

Perhaps, this bearded man was not lying, he had indeed killed a "wizard", but unfortunately, that was just the wizard he thought.

The opponent is most likely only a first-level apprentice, who has mastered the power of runes for some reason. Although he can display extraordinary means, he is still pitifully weak in essence.

"Next, it's your turn."

Sauron raised his head and looked towards Farrow in front of him.

The face of the other party changed.

"Kill him for me!"

However, at this moment, Farrow no longer had any illusions, let out a roar, and all the knights and soldiers of the White Tower City surrounded him.

In an instant, a group of soldiers surrounded him.

Sauron's face was calm, and with a thought in his heart, the invisible power spread, and the swords in the hands of the surrounding White Tower City soldiers floated out of thin air.

next moment!
The floating swords shot away like sharp arrows, and in just an instant, they harvested the lives of a large number of soldiers and knights.

In a blink of an eye, blood flowed like rivers in the castle.

Farrow's face was pale. Looking at the scene in front of him, he could hardly believe it. Although he had known for a long time that the legendary wizard was terrifying, the current situation still made him hard to understand.

"Damn it, I'll fight you!"

Farrow roared angrily, he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for him to have any retreat in the current situation.

Only by fighting to the death can he have a chance to survive!
"I'm a senior knight, I can definitely do it!"

A gleam of hope flashed in Farrow's eyes. According to ancient rumors, although wizards possess all kinds of incredible magical powers, their bodies are often very weak.

Therefore, some ancient books record that once wizards are approached, even mortals have a chance to kill them.

Facing Farrow who rushed over, Sauron's eyes flashed a sneer.

He raised his hand casually, and the four cross swords beside him slowly floated up.

Followed by.

call out! ! !
Four cross swords shot out, piercing Farrow's limbs in an instant.

Severe pain came, and Farrow fell to the ground uncontrollably.

A great fear gripped my heart.

Even high-level knights, with their limbs crippled, have no power to resist, and can only lie on the ground like a bug.

"If you want revenge, why not do it yourself?"

Sauron said softly, and Lina who was beside her saw this and rushed up without hesitation.

"Wait a minute, Lina!"

A trace of fear flashed in Farrow's eyes, and he quickly begged, "Please spare my life, I am willing to surrender to the Ayrin family..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lina had already grabbed a long knife and swung it at Farrow fiercely. In a moment, her flesh and blood were bloody from beheading him.

"Father, have you seen it?"

Lina burst into tears, looking at the bloody corpse on the ground, with a crazy expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

After Farrow's death, the surrounding Baitacheng soldiers immediately dispersed.

However, Sauron did not intend to let them go.

The psychic rune controls long swords, like a death scythe, harvesting the lives of these soldiers. After a while, Baita City has already flowed into rivers of blood.

"That should work, right?"

Sauron turned his head and looked at Lina who was beside him. At this moment, the other party was already in tears, looking at the castle where he had lived for many years, and nodded slowly.

As night falls, in the forest.

It was still the same cave as before, with the flames burning and dispelling the surrounding darkness. Sauron looked at the ancient books in front of him and thought.

"It seems that the wizard that the Ayrin family served back then should be an alchemist!"

Sauron opened an ancient book.

The things recorded in it are all about alchemy, and many things are precious alchemy that has long been lost.

After reading all the books, Sauron also successfully comprehended alchemy.

Although it is only at the level of Lv1 for the time being, as long as you keep practicing, you can raise it to a higher level sooner or later.

----------

Looking at the data panel that appeared in front of his eyes, Sauron's thoughts flickered.

After he was promoted to the level of a wizard, those twelve beast-type runes had been transformed into the mad spell - Beast Blood Boiling, but this did not mean that Sauron could not use the power of those beast-type runes.

On the contrary, after completing the solidification of the mad technique - beast blood boiling, for Sauron, the effect of the twelve beast-type runes will be exerted even better.

At the same time, Sauron's physical condition is getting better and better as time goes by.

"Where should I get the witchcraft crystal?"

On the spot, Sauron showed thought. For wizards, the more witchcraft they master, the more powerful they are.

Today's Sauron only masters one sorcery, so among the first-order wizards, he should belong to the weakest level of existence.

Moreover, the mad technique - beast blood boiling belongs to the transformation system of witchcraft, and the effect it can exert in battle is also very single.

If there is a chance, Sauron naturally hopes to master more witchcraft.

According to the runes he has mastered, Sauron already has a direction for his second witchcraft.

Shadow Technique · Shadow Corps!
In the tower of Normaros, although Sauron did not find the witchcraft crystal, he found many books about witchcraft and runes.

Among them is a book that records many necromantic witchcraft.

After some selection, Sauron finally chose the shadow technique-Shadow Corps.

This witchcraft is composed of shadow-type runes and necromancy-type runes. The initial effect is ordinary, but the later development is very impressive.

According to the records in that book, there was once a wizard in history who destroyed a city by virtue of the power of the shadow technique Shadow Corps.

However, any witchcraft construction needs witchcraft crystals as the foundation.

Therefore, if Sauron wants to master the Shadow Corps, he first needs to obtain the corresponding witchcraft crystal.

In situ, Sauron pondered for a moment.

Afterwards, he shook his head. He had just been promoted to the level of a wizard now, so he didn't need to worry about hardening the second witchcraft, the way to restore his own state was the kingly way.

At the same time, restore the enchanted item completely.

Thinking of the hidden ring, Sauron got up and went outside the cave. In the forest clearing in the distance, Lina was sitting on a rock.

Under the moonlight, the girl looked calm.

"It's so beautiful!"

Suddenly, Lina sighed, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said with complicated eyes: "In the past, I really never thought that the moon is actually only so close to me."

Sauron did not speak.

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, Lina coughed twice again, and her already pale face became even more ugly. The moonlight shone on her face, revealing a trace of poignant beauty.

"Drink this."

Sauron took a step forward, handed over a potion, and said softly, "Although it can't change anything, at least it can make you feel better."

"Thank you."

Lina nodded, drank the potion without any hesitation, and said softly, "How long can I live in my current state?"

"...Three days." Sauron said.

As a mortal Lina, she forcibly used the power of the magic item before, so her vitality was seriously overdrawn.

Now, the blood in the body has gradually dried up.

In at most three days, Lina's life will come to an end, and Sauron will also use her soul to repair the magic item, the Hidden Ring.

After learning the date of her death, Lina's expression didn't change much.

"Three days?"

A trace of complexity flashed in Lina's eyes. Ever since her family was destroyed, she had long since lost her belief in living. Everything she had worked hard before was also for revenge.

But now, the enemy has been killed.

The depression in Lina's heart dissipated, and after thinking about it carefully, she didn't know why she still had to live.

"Is there any unfulfilled wish?"

Looking at the girl under the moonlight, Sauron sighed.

Lina was silent.

"Master Wizard, let's do it!"

Suddenly, she raised her head, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"What?" Sauron was taken aback.

"When I was in Baita City, my father was very strict with me."

A trace of shyness appeared on Lina's face, while taking off her clothes, she said, "Before I die, I want to become a real woman!"

While speaking, Lina had already taken off all her clothes.

There was a strange flash in Sauron's eyes.

Under the moonlight, the young and beautiful girl stood there naked, with a calm expression on her face, but her trembling palms revealed her inner anxiety.

"Let me become a real woman, my lord wizard."

There was a blur in Lina's eyes, and then she walked straight towards Sauron. At the end of her life, she hoped to try something she had never experienced before.

"it is good."

Sauron was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, picked up the naked Lina and walked towards the cave.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

"Will it be painful?"

In the cave, Lina was lying weakly on the stone bed. At this moment, her vitality was almost exhausted, and she couldn't even raise the strength in her whole body.

"will not."

Sauron shook his head and said softly: "It's like a dream, after you fall asleep, you won't feel any pain."

"I promise."

Saying that, Sauron took out a purple potion, full of fantasy colors.

A trace of complexity flashed in Lina's eyes.

She knew that her life had come to the end, but now Lina could face everything calmly.

"Thank you, Sauron."

Lina said weakly, took the highly poisonous potion, drank it with the last bit of strength without much hesitation.

Then, Lina slowly closed her eyes.

A trace of complexity flashed in Sauron's eyes.

The lives of mortals are so weak, Lina's life force has been exhausted, even Sauron has no ability to save her.

Recalling the past three days together, Sauron sighed slightly in his heart.

Then, he took a deep breath.

Lina's body gradually became cold, and when the last breath of life disappeared, Sauron raised his hand, a black ring in his palm exuded a strange light.

The books found in the White Tower City contained a lot of knowledge about alchemy.

Today's Sauron already has some understanding of alchemy.

He knows how to restore the Hidden Ring.

"spiritualism!"

At the same place, Sauron had a thought, and under the guidance of the evocation rune, Lina's soul slowly emerged like a cloud of white mist.

There was a bit of calm in Sauron's eyes.

Using the knowledge of alchemy, he began to fuse Lina's soul with the Hidden Ring, and only in this way can the ring be complete.

In the palm, the Hidden Ring exudes a strange light.

Like a vortex, Lina's soul slowly poured into it, and with Sauron's thoughts, the two gradually began to fuse.

Time passed little by little.

Everything went very smoothly. With sufficient preparations, Lina's soul quickly fused with the Hidden Ring, thus making this broken magical item gradually complete.

"Soul imprint!"

At the last critical moment, Sauron's eyes flashed, and the soul imprinted rune flickered in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The Hidden Ring slowly floated up.

With a burst of gloomy light flickering, the broken hidden ring was repaired, and Lina's soul was completely integrated with it.

"Success!"

The corners of Sauron's lips were slightly raised, and a smile appeared on his face.

Through alchemy, he successfully restored the Hidden Ring.

Immediately, Sauron put the Ring of Hidden on his left hand.

This was the first magical item he owned, and Sauron couldn't wait to try his effect. With the injection of magic power, the Hidden Ring emitted a strange light.

In situ, Sauron's figure was unreal for a while.

The next moment, he completely disappeared in place, feeling the state of invisibility, and Sauron couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression on his face.

Half a minute later, Sauron recovered from his invisible state.

The effect of the hidden ring is invisibility, but each use consumes a lot of mana, and the duration is only a moment.

"It can be used as a hole card!"

A smile appeared on Sauron's face. Even though he had been promoted to the realm of a wizard, a magical item was still a great improvement for him.

The next day, dawn.

The brilliance of dawn sprinkled the earth, the sun slowly rose in the distant sky, and in the forest, a black shadow suddenly swept up.

Roar!
It was as if the roar of an ancient giant beast sounded and spread throughout the entire forest. Wherever the sound wave went, even the most ferocious beast could only humbly crawl in the corner and tremble.

"Finally, it can be used freely!"

Sauron stood on a huge rock, the light in his eyes flickered slightly. (end of this chapter)
