The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 35 Basement

Boom!

As Moran's head fell to the ground, the headless corpse also fell slowly.

Beside, Konrad frowned.

"Since you dare to provoke a war, you should be prepared to pay the price."

Sauron withdrew his cross sword and said calmly, "If I don't kill him today, I'm afraid the entire western region will think that the Swain family is weak and deceitful!"

Ever since Orens disappeared, Night Crow City and the Swain family were almost like fat in the eyes of the nobles in the western region.

Everyone wants to come and get a share.

Therefore, for Sauron's return this time, he not only had to take back Night Crow City, but also had to kill people to show his power, so as to deter those greedy wolves.

Although Morun was right, according to the laws of the Duchy of Tal, after nobles were captured in war, they did have the right to pay ransom in exchange for their own lives, but the premise was that Sauron was willing.

"Hang the corpse on the city wall!"

After Sauron killed Morun, he ordered his body to be hung on the city wall. Anyway, he had already been inseparable from Baigu City, so he didn't mind taking things to an end.

At the same time, the fire in Ravenkeep was gradually extinguished.

Ever since the city was broken, Morun knew that he had lost this war, so he planned to destroy Raven Castle before evacuating Night Raven City.

However, his plan was unsuccessful.

The fire was extinguished in time, and the Baigu soldiers in the city were defeated. Morun also paid the due price for his actions.

A few hours later, the city returned to calm.

Knight Kylo led people to clean up the mess, while Sauron came to the dungeon of Night Crow City and released all the imprisoned members of the Swain family.

"Little Sauron? Is that you?"

In the deepest part of the dungeon, in the prison guarded by several Baigu soldiers, an old man raised his head and looked at Sauron with some cloudy eyes.

"Maester Frost!"

Sauron ordered people to open the prison and rescued Bachelor Frost inside.

Bachelor Frost is an elder who has served four night raven city lords so far, and even Orens respects him very much.

Sauron naturally did the same.

"It's really little Sauron!"

Frost walked out of the dungeon with the support of the soldiers, and looked at Sauron with a hint of excitement on his face, as if he hadn't thought that Sauron had returned to the Western Territory.

"Take a break, Maester Frost."

Sauron said softly that the elderly Frost must have been very weak after being imprisoned for such a long time.

Immediately, he was going to order someone to help Fros go down to rest.

Frost hesitated for a moment, seeming to hesitate to speak.

"Is there any problem? Maester Frost?" Sauron asked puzzled.

"fine."

Frost shook his head and didn't say much.

Afterwards, Sauron also left the dungeon.

The war to retake Night Crow City went very smoothly. After Konrad broke through the city gate, everything was like a broken bamboo, and White Valley City was powerless to resist.

The sun gradually went down, and night fell quietly.

Night Crow City, the castle.

In the study, Sauron was sitting in front of a table, looking at the three black potions in front of him, with a look of disappointment on his face.

"Is that all there is to it?"

Sauron frowned slightly, and finally regained Night Crow City. He immediately asked Kylo Knight to search for all Night Crow Potions in Raven Castle.

However, even in the entire castle, there were only three night crow potions.

As for the remaining night crow potion, it was destroyed by the people of Baigu City long ago. The secret medicine of the Swain family is specially used in conjunction with the night crow breathing method.

Even if other people drink it, they will not be able to absorb the effects of the potion.

The only three night crow potions were saved by a maid who hid them in the kitchen, otherwise they would probably be destroyed by the people of Baigu.

"Not enough!"

Sauron shook his head. Only three night crow potions are obviously not enough to practice the night crow breathing method to the limit, and it is not even enough to improve a level.

For Sauron, the reason why he went back to the western region to capture the Night Crow City was not only the second princess Histor's active help, but also the main reason was that he wanted to use the Night Crow potion to cultivate his own breathing method to the limit.

Only in this way can he be promoted to a senior knight.

"It seems that Bachelor Frost can only prepare some more."

Sauron sighed.

The preparation of potions has always been the work of bachelors. Apart from Frost, there are many bachelors in Night Crow City. As long as there are enough materials, it is not a problem to prepare some night crow potions.

However, that will take some time.

Boom boom boom!
Just as Sauron was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Sauron said softly.

Frost opened the door and walked in, leaning on a cane in his hand, still in a weak state, but much better than when he was in the dungeon.

Sauron was a little surprised.

He got up quickly and brought a chair for Frost. The elderly bachelor did not refuse, and slowly sat on the chair.

"What's the matter, Grandpa Frost?"

Sauron said softly that, like Knight Kailo, Maester Frost watched Sauron grow up, and even took him to the lake to fish when he was a child.

"You've grown up, little Sauron."

Frost looked at Sauron, couldn't help showing emotion on his face, and said softly: "I still remember a few years ago, when Orens didn't send you to the capital, you were still a little carrot."

"Now, he has been promoted to the realm of knights."

"It seems that the future of the Swain family will be borne by you!"

Hearing Frost's words, a trace of hesitation appeared on Sauron's face.

"Grandpa Frost, is my father really missing?"

Sauron pondered for a moment, then asked, "Did he leave any clues or messages before he disappeared?"

The disappearance of Orens is the key to the crisis in Night Crow City!
It was also because of the loss of the protection of the high-ranking knights that the Swain family was attacked by Baigu City, attracting the prying eyes of those Western Territory wolves.

"Who said Orens is missing?" Frost said quietly.

Sauron's pupils shrank for a while.

"Come with me, little Sauron."

Frost got up slowly, leaning on crutches and walked outside.

Sauron hurriedly followed.

The two came to Frost's room on the first floor of the castle, one after the other.

The old bachelor's residence was very simple, except for the bed and the table, there was only a row of bookshelves. Frost signaled Sauron to close the door, and then went to the bookshelves.

crunch!
Frost took out a book from the bookshelf, and behind it was a mechanism that could be pulled. As the mechanism was triggered, the floor in the center of the room was slowly sunken.

A staircase extending downwards appears.

Sauron's heart moved, but he saw Frost beckoning, and he was already walking towards the basement.
