The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 18 Request
After a while, Sauron shook his head.

By relying on the Second Princess Histor, he may be able to win the chance to inherit Night Crow City, but once he gets involved in royal disputes, it will definitely bring him a lot of trouble.

For Sauron now, it doesn't matter whether he inherits Night Crow City or not.

With the proficiency panel, Sauron's strength has improved rapidly. Perhaps it won't take long for him to have enough strength to inherit Night Crow City by his own ability.

"Enhance strength!"

Sauron took a deep breath and decided to continue to practice, to improve his own strength as much as possible, and then think about other things.

After a day of practice, Sauron returned to the dormitory.

With the help of the golden blood, the Night Crow Breathing Technique has been upgraded to Lv6, but there is still a gap for Sauron to be promoted to an intermediate knight.

Boom boom boom!
Just as Sauron was about to rest, there was a knock on the door.

"Ron?"

Seeing the figure outside the door, Sauron had a look of surprise on his face. It turned out to be Ron, whom he hadn't seen for a week. The other party's face looked ugly at the moment.

"Is it convenient to come out?" Ron said hoarsely.

"it is good."

Sauron didn't hesitate too much, followed Ron out of the dormitory, came to a tavern outside the college, and entered the pre-booked cubicle.

The two sat opposite each other at the table.

A trace of hesitation appeared on Ron's face, he opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"What happened?" Sauron asked.

"Something happened to my father!"

Ron took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Not long ago, my father led a caravan to the southern border for trade, but was ambushed by a group of bandits."

"Now, those gangsters have detained my father and sent me a letter asking for a ransom!"

While speaking, Ron took out a piece of parchment.

Sauron looked at it, and the brief message on it indicated that Ron's father had been kidnapped and asked for [-] gold coins as a ransom.

"What do I need to do?" Sauron cut to the chase.

"I want to ask you to go."

Ron didn't talk nonsense, and said in a deep voice: "The bandits who kidnapped my father are in the southern border, and the situation there is very chaotic now!"

"I can pay the ransom, but I don't know if the gangsters are honest."

"I'm afraid that these gangsters will not keep their promises and accept the ransom but won't let them go, so I want you to accompany me to the southern border."

"I know it's difficult, but right now, I have no other choice."

"In order to raise the [-] ransom, I even mortgaged the family chamber of commerce. If it is not necessary, I don't want you to be involved in danger."

As he spoke, a sigh appeared on Ron's face.

"Is it the southern border?"

Sauron looked thoughtful, nodded and said, "Okay! No problem, when shall we set off?"

Judging from the current situation, Sauron would indeed put himself in danger if he followed Ron to the southern border.

However, Ron was in trouble, and Sauron couldn't stay out of it.

He had just transmigrated into this world back then. If it weren't for Ron's two hundred gold coins, it would have been very difficult for Sauron to become a knight.

Sauron has always kept this feeling in his heart.

"Thank you!"

Seeing Sauron's willingness to agree, a trace of gratitude flashed in Ron's eyes, and he said quickly: "Sauron, please rest assured, as long as I can save my father this time, I will always remember your kindness!"

"You and I don't have to be so polite." Sauron shook his head and said.

"Then shall we leave tomorrow?"

Ron took a deep breath and said, "This time, we will go to the southern border. In addition to you and me, Uncle Moore and the guards from my family chamber of commerce will also accompany us."

"According to the address sent by those gangsters, it will take about two days to arrive!"

"it is good!"

Sauron nodded. The Moore in Ron's mouth was a knight enshrined in his family. He followed Ron's father in his early years and almost watched him grow up.

This trip to the southern border, the biggest problem is that those gangsters don't keep their promises.

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, Ron called Sauron to help out. The two knights accompanying him were enough to deter the gangsters.

The next day, early morning.

In the distance, the brilliance of dawn appeared in the sky, and the arrival of the recovery season melted the ice and snow on the ground, and the trees began to grow buds, creating a scene full of vitality.

Wangdu, north of the city.

With all the guards arrived, Ron and the others set off towards the southern border. Sauron and Moore were at the forefront, each riding a group of black horses.

"This time, I have to leave it to Mr. Sauron."

Knight Moore was a middle-aged man, and it was not the first time he met Sauron. The other party showed a gentle attitude, but there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

Obviously, Ron's father was kidnapped by bandits, and Knight Moore was also very worried.

"You're welcome, Knight Moore."

Sauron shook his head and said softly, "Ron is my best friend. He has something to do, so I can't ignore it."

While speaking, Sauron looked at Moore.

The opponent, like himself, is a junior knight. Although Moore looks middle-aged, his actual age may be over fifty.

Moore, who is over half a hundred years old, has begun to decline.

Although he still maintains the knight realm, Sauron is confident that he can defeat the opponent within twenty rounds if they really fight.

Also, this is a conservative estimate.

It was precisely because Ron knew the status of the Moore knight that he called Sauron, who had just been promoted to a knight, as a double insurance.

The team started from the north gate of the capital and headed towards the south.

Perhaps out of concern for his father, Ron was very depressed along the way. After two days and one night of rushing, everyone has arrived at the border of the southern border.
