The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 21 The Underground Black Market
"It's up to you here."

Sauron said softly, then turned and left, and came to the center of the camp, outside a two-story rock building.

From the looks of it, this should be the residence of the Bull Rider.

Sauron walked in, but there was no one else in the stone house. After some searching, he found an iron box under the bull rider's bed.

When opened, it was stuffed with jewels and gold coins.

In addition to this, there is also a piece of worn parchment with a bull totem painted on it, and there are many small characters like tadpoles around it.

"Brave bull breathing method?"

Sauron's heart moved. The information on the parchment turned out to be a method of breathing.

"It's a windfall!"

Solu nodded slightly, put away the parchment, and then dragged the box outside. At this time, Ron's guards had already searched the camp.

Afterwards, everyone prepared to leave.

"Burn this damn place down with a fire!"

A trace of hatred flashed in Ron's eyes, and before he left, he ordered his men to set the Bull Rider's camp on fire.

As the raging fire rose, Ron and the others also headed towards the capital.

"This time, it's really thanks to you!"

On the way back, Ron looked at Sauron, a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes, recalling the horror of the bull rider, he couldn't help feeling a little scared in his heart.

The worst thing happened.

Ron was ready for the ransom, but the bull knight had no intention of releasing him, and with the strength of the Moore knight, he was no match for him at all.

Fortunately, Ron specially called Sauron to help out for double insurance.

Otherwise, facing the dishonest bull knight, not to mention saving his father, even Ron himself might die in the southern border.

"You are Welcome."

Sauron shook his head, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

This time he fought against the bull knight, he also gained a lot, and he has a clearer understanding of his own strength.

"Perhaps, it won't be long before I can try to attack the realm of intermediate knights!"

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind. He still had a few golden blood potions in his hand, which were almost enough for him to be promoted to the intermediate knight realm.

In a blink of an eye, one day and two nights passed.

After successfully rescuing his father, Ron and the others traveled day and night and returned to the capital as quickly as possible. Looking at the familiar city wall, Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally back!"

A sigh appeared on Ron's face. The journey to the southern border was quite dangerous this time. If it wasn't for Sauron, he might have died at the hands of the Bull Rider.

"Good brother, I will remember this favor!"

Ron turned his head, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and said, "When my father recovers, I must thank you very much!"

"There is no need to say much between you and me."

Sauron shook his head, and said, "Since I've come back, I'll go back to the academy first. Let's talk about anything after you've settled down here."

After all, Sauron entered the city and returned to the Holy Knight Academy.

Walking on the path paved with white stone slabs, Sauron was about to go back to the dormitory, but he met several students on the way, but found that they had strange expressions on their faces when they saw him.

"Have you heard? There is a war in the western region!"

"Of course, Baigu City."

"I really don't know what this guy thinks, but instead of marrying the beautiful pearl of the western region, he wants to offend the lord of Baigu City!"

There were whispers in his ears, and Sauron's heart moved.

"What happened in the west?"

Sauron stepped forward, stopped a student, and asked straight to the point.

When the student saw Sauron's actions, he was taken aback immediately. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell the story of the attack on Night Crow City by the army of White Valley City.

"Actually...it's no secret."

The student paused for a moment, and said with a strange expression: "It was Ye Crow City who violated the agreement first, and the lord of White Valley City launched the war, and prepared to use this to wash away the shame!"

Hearing what the students said, a trace of thought appeared on Sauron's face.

Afterwards, he got out of the way, let the other party leave, went back to the dormitory on his own, and locked the door behind him.

The incident of White Valley City attacking Night Crow City did not cause much disturbance in Sauron's heart.

After all, when the letter was delivered to Sauron, he felt that things would not be that simple, and the lord of White Valley City would never give up Night Crow City easily.

Sure enough, seeing Sauron's delay in responding, the lord of White Valley City directly chose to attack Night Crow City.

The so-called cleansing of shame is nothing more than a reason. Everyone knows that the real goal of the lord of White Valley City is Night Crow City from beginning to end.

"Oh! It's really a high-sounding reason."

Sauron chuckled, stopped thinking about these things, took out the parchment from his arms, and planned to focus more on improving his strength.

Sauron, who has a data panel, can learn anything very quickly.

In just a moment, he understood the essentials of the bull breathing method, and the information of the bull breathing method also appeared on the data panel.

[Brave Bull Breathing Lv1 (0/100)]

It is easy to comprehend the bull breathing method, but to improve the level of the breathing method, it needs continuous practice and the cooperation with special potions.

"Could it be that the bull knight's strength is amazing!"

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly. Compared with the night raven breathing method, the bull's breathing method is mainly characterized by the improvement of strength.

That's why the Bull Rider is amazingly powerful.

Sauron's heart was full of fire, and he practiced the night crow breathing method, which made him very flexible in battle, but his attack strength was not outstanding.

But now, with the Brute Bull Breathing Method, it can just make up for his lack of strength.

Then Sauron pulled out a box from under the bed.

There were only three golden blood potions left in it. Sauron took out one and was about to use it, but hesitation appeared on his face.

"Will it be too wasteful?"

Sauron pondered for a moment, shook his head, and put away the golden blood potion.

The Bull Breathing Technique is only at the early stage of cultivation, if he uses the golden blood potion, it will be overkill, he can use other potions instead.

Wait until the critical moment, and then use the golden blood potion to make a breakthrough.

After thinking about it, Sauron got up and left the dormitory. Instead of going to the college's shop, he came to the underground trading black market in the capital.

Compared with the college's shops, the black market potions are more expensive.

But there is one advantage, that is, there are more choices. Sauron bought the Bailing potion before to practice the night crow breathing method, and there was already some compatibility, which wasted a lot of potion.

Now that Sauron has money, he can naturally choose a more suitable potion.

After putting on a black robe and covering his face with a hood, Sauron entered the underground black market and arrived at a stall with ease.

"I wonder what this guest needs?"

The owner of the stall was a thin man with a hoarse voice, but there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, like a lone wolf in the desert.

"I need some potions."

Sauron said in a deep voice, this is not the first time he has come to the black market, he has set foot here before, but he did not buy anything.
