The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 26 The Bloody Potion
"Hahaha!"

Ron lay on the ground and laughed loudly, and said in a hoarse voice: "The things brought back from the southern border have already been burned by me with a fire!"

Masi's face changed, and a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"you wanna die!"

Marth's eyes were as cold as a knife, and he raised the rapier in his hand, and the next moment it stabbed out suddenly, about to pierce Ron's eyeballs.

call out!
At this time, Sauron, who had been hiding in the tree, finally made a move. After bending his bow and nodding his arrow, an arrow shot out like clouds and flowing water.

laugh! !

Masi only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he lowered his head with some difficulty, only to see that an arrow had pierced his heart.

Pfft!
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the luster in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he finally fell to the ground.

Sauron also jumped down from the tree and quickly came to Ron.

"Don't worry, you won't die yet."

Ron, who was wounded all over his body, was almost like a blood gourd, but when he saw Sauron, he could barely squeeze a smile on his face.

"Now, I'm afraid I will never pay back what I owe you." Ron said with a wry smile.

"what is the problem?"

Sauron frowned slightly, and said: "How could you offend Earl Lane, what kind of goods is this guy talking about?"

Ron sighed and spoke slowly.

"...that's how it is."

After a long while, a trace of sadness flashed in Ron's eyes, and he said quietly: "This time, it was just my father's mistake, which led to the destruction of my family."

"Father is dead, Brother Carl is dead, and Uncle Moore is also dead..."

After listening to Ron's narration, Sauron looked thoughtful.

He already understood the general idea of ​​the matter. To put it simply, Ron's father, Anwald, in order to obtain noble status and join the Earl of Lane, went to the southern border to conduct a black deal with the Crusaders and successfully shipped a batch of contraband back to him. The royal capital, but was silenced by Earl Ryan.

"Unload the mill and kill the donkey!"

Sauron sighed, and thought to himself: "Perhaps, from the very beginning, Earl Lane had no intention of accepting Anhuade's refuge."

"Those big shots are just using Anwald."

"Because of the special nature of that batch of goods, Earl Lane was inconvenient to leave the scene in person, so he handed over the task to An Huade."

"After the matter is completed, kill people directly and silence everything, and everything will be dead without evidence."

"But Earl Lane did not expect that in the process of killing the mouth, Ron broke through the realm of knights and dramatically snatched the goods."

Thinking of this, a trace of curiosity arose in Sauron's heart.

What kind of goods is it that makes Earl Lane so aggressive? You know, Earl Lane, who is known as the king of the underground, is extremely powerful in the Duchy of Tar. Even the Crusaders have been funded by him, but some contraband will be like this bother.

"That batch of goods has already been burned?" Sauron asked.

"……No."

Ron hesitated, shook his head, and said, "I originally planned to burn it, but I haven't had time yet, and it's not too late to deal with it now."

With that said, Ron was about to get up from the ground.

"You don't have to worry."

Sauron supported the other party, and said in a deep voice: "What kind of goods will make Earl Lane so mobilizing?"

"I don't know too well, it looks like it should be a potion."

Ron pondered for a moment, pointed forward, and said, "Come with me, I will hide that batch of goods in a cave ahead."

Sauron nodded.

Afterwards, he supported Ron and walked forward. The two soon came to a cave and saw the goods hidden here.

"Is this... the mad blood potion?"

Sauron took out a test tube from the box and found a red potion inside. After careful identification, he deduced that it was a potion of mad blood.

"Frenzied Blood Potion!" Ron's heart skipped a beat.

The so-called mad blood potion is also a potion, but this potion is very special, it is specially prepared for practitioners of the mad blood breathing method.

Ordinary knights can also take it, and it can greatly increase their strength in a short period of time.

But the price is that it consumes a lot of vitality, and if it is used many times, even a knight is at risk of death, so it has always been regarded as a contraband in the Duchy of Tal.

"It turns out that the Crusaders have the refining formula for the mad blood potion!"

Next to him, a flash of understanding flashed in Ron's eyes.

It's no wonder that the Crucifixion is rising so fast. After diluting the mad blood potion, ordinary people can also use it to quickly increase their combat effectiveness at the cost of consuming vitality. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Crucifixion members is naturally very strong.

With such a mad blood legion, the rapid rise of the Crusaders is not a problem.

"But, what does Earl Lane want so many frenzied blood potions for?" Sauron frowned slightly.

"It should not be Earl Lane, but the third prince!"

Ron's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Now that His Majesty's health is declining, the battle for the throne is inevitable. Earl Lane is a firm member of the Three Kings, so buying so many mad blood potions is naturally an advance for the third prince." Prepare!"

Sauron nodded, and gradually realized in his heart.

As the blood relative of the third prince, Earl Lane naturally firmly supports the other party, and force is naturally indispensable if he wants to fight for the throne.

With such a batch of mad blood medicine, it is enough for the third prince to create a group of mad blood soldiers.

This will be a powerful hole card in the battle for the throne, and even at certain critical moments, it will become the key to victory or defeat.

"Forget it, these things have nothing to do with us."

Ron shook his head, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and said, "Since Earl Lane wants to get these frenzied blood potions so much, I just want to destroy them!"

With that said, Ron was about to destroy the mad blood potion in front of him.

But at this time, Sauron stopped the other party, and said in a deep thought: "It would be a pity to destroy these frenzied blood potions like this."

"Don't you want to take revenge on Earl Lane?"

Hearing Sauron's words, a trace of sadness flashed in Ron's eyes.

"Revenge? Of course I would."

Ron smiled wryly, and said quietly: "What can I do? Use this batch of mad blood medicine as evidence to expose Earl Lane's collusion with the Crucifixion?"

"It's useless, it's not evidence."

"It was my father Anhuade who brought this cargo back from the southern border. Even if I could meet His Majesty and confront Earl Lane in court, as long as the other party denies it, I have no evidence at all. Instead, I will take all suspicions to myself."

Sauron shook his head and said, "I didn't tell you to expose Earl Lane."

"Then what do you mean?"

"This batch of mad blood medicine can be used as your bargaining chip!"

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Besides destroying these mad blood potions, you have another choice."

"That is to give them to Earl Ryan's enemies!"
