The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 27 Introduction
"Enemy of Earl Lane?"

Ron's heart moved, and then he smiled wryly, and said quietly: "Earl Ryan is so powerful, and there are probably very few existences in the Duchy of Tar that can be enemies with him."

"Even if there is, how can I get in touch with such a big man?"

As Ron said, Earl Lane belongs to the topmost existence in the Duchy of Tar, and there are not many people in the Duchy who are qualified to be enemies.

Moreover, each of them is an important figure, and it is by no means that Ron, a commoner, can easily come into contact with them.

"I know someone who may be able to help you," Sauron said.

"Who?"

"Second Princess, Histor!"

Sauron spread his palms and said softly: "In the Duchy of Tar, Earl Ryan's power mainly comes from the third prince Ander."

"Others may have scruples about being an enemy of Earl Ryan, but Second Princess Histor will definitely not!"

Hearing Sauron's words, Ron thought about it.

It is no secret that the old king of Taal has been old for a long time, and his health is getting worse. Now the principality is undercurrent because of the battle for the throne.

In the Principality of Tal, the second princess Histor and the third prince Ander are both the most popular candidates for the throne, and both sides have their own forces to support them.

Now, the revenge of killing his father has made the relationship between Ron and Earl Ryan endless!
Therefore, he stood on the opposite side of the third prince Ander.

If he wants to fight against the pursuit of Earl Ryan, taking refuge in the second princess Hester may be Ron's best choice at present.

"Second Highness?"

Ron muttered to himself, a gleam of light gradually flashed in his eyes.

"it is good!"

Then, he nodded heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I can avenge my father and Uncle Moore, I am willing to pay any price!"

"Sauron, please help me!"

While speaking, Ron suddenly knelt down on one knee, with a pleading look on his face.

Sauron didn't speak, and helped Ron up.

"This matter cannot be rushed."

Sauron pondered for a moment, and said: "You stay here first, I will try the attitude of the second princess first, and if the other party is interested, I will inform you later."

"Okay!" Ron nodded.

Afterwards, Sauron turned and left the cave, and returned to the forest. The corpses of Mars and the two knights were already stiff, and the scene was a mess.

Sauron pondered for a moment and decided to clean up the scene first.

Dragging the three corpses into the depths of the forest, the wild beasts would soon devour everything, but even so, there were still some bloodstains around.

"I'm afraid it's hard not to leave any traces!"

Sauron sighed in his heart, Mars was Earl Lane's steward, and was ordered to kill Ron to silence him, but at this time he was lost in the birch forest.

Earl Lane will definitely investigate after he finds out.

"Forget it, let's talk about it first."

Sauron shook his head. Although Ron's matter might bring him trouble, he has no regrets about his decision.

After returning to the capital, Sauron came to a manor.

This is the address given to him by the second princess Hester. The manor is heavily guarded. Not only are there guards in strong clothes patrolling, but there are also many secret sentries hidden.

"Stop here!"

As soon as Sauron approached the manor, he was blocked by two guards.

He took out the token Hester gave him.

After receiving the parchment with a special imprint, the guard's attitude was immediately respectful, and then he turned back to the manor to report.

"plz follow me."

Afterwards, the guards appeared again and led Sauron to a hall in the manor.

The walls are paved with white tiles. The layout in the hall is not complicated, but it has a sense of simple luxury. There is a sofa not far away.

On the sofa, the second princess, Histor, was sitting lazily on it, and behind her were two maids who were gently kneading her shoulders.

"Second Highness."

Sauron bowed slightly to salute. Last time he was summoned by Histor, the other party was sitting in a carriage, so now it was the first time they met.

"What's the matter? Sauron?" Hester said quietly.

Sauron cut to the chase and told about Ron.

"Is what you said true?"

After listening to Sauron's words, a trace of interest appeared on Hist's face, and he waved his hand, signaling the two maids behind him to step back.

"Don't dare to lie to Your Highness." Sauron said frankly.

"Frenzied Blood Potion!"

Hester's eyes flickered slightly, and he said quietly: "This is something that is explicitly prohibited by the Principality. If everything you said is true, it means that Earl Lane is secretly colluding with the Crucifixion."

Sauron looked calm.

"interesting!"

Histor raised his lips and said softly, "If you want me to believe you, let me see the batch of frenzied blood potion first."

After saying that, Histor clapped his hands.

A man covered in armor, more than two meters tall, who looked like a little giant appeared, and silently came to Hester's side.

Sauron's heart skipped a beat.

From the man in front of him, he felt a sense of oppression. The man was not only a knight, but also possessed force beyond his own.

"Knight Connard, please go." Hester said softly.

"As ordered, Your Highness."

Conrad said hoarsely.

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind, and then he bowed slightly, turned and left the manor, leading Knight Konrad to the birch forest.

On the way, Sauron tried to communicate with Konrad, but the other party said nothing.

Seeing this, Sauron stopped talking.

The two soon came outside the cave, and Sauron explained everything to Ron. Then, the three of them drove the carriage loaded with mad blood potion and headed towards the capital.

"Sure enough, it's a mad blood potion."

In the courtyard of the manor, Second Princess Hester looked at the mad blood potion on the carriage and nodded slightly.

Beside, Ron felt uneasy.

"Your name is Ron?"

After a while, Histor turned around, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "From now on, you can follow me."

"Thank you, Second Highness, for your kindness!"

Excited in his heart, Ron quickly knelt down on one knee and expressed his loyalty: "I am honored to follow the Second Highness, Ron will definitely die in the future!"

Histor nodded slightly, and then ordered someone to take Ron down to rest.

Changes happened one after another in the family, and blood relatives and important people died tragically. Ron was already mentally and physically exhausted. If it wasn't for his knight-level physique, he might have collapsed already.

Seeing Hester accepted Ron, Sauron was also relieved.

Then he was about to say goodbye.

"Wait a moment."

At this time, Histor stopped Sauron, took out an information scroll and handed it to him.

Sauron took the scroll and pulled out the parchment inside.

"Night Crow City was breached?"

Seeing the information on the parchment, Sauron frowned slightly.

Ever since he ignored the request of Dover, the lord of White Valley City, to marry his daughter, White Valley City has used this as an excuse to launch a war against Night Crow City.

Sauron originally thought that this war would last for some time.

But at this moment, he realized that he was wrong.
