The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 39 Forest of Mists
Before Orens fell into a deep sleep, Night Crow City sent people to the Misty Forest almost every month to collect materials such as ghost pattern flowers.

"Forest of Mists..."

Hearing Sauron mention the forest of mist, Madam Lafite showed hesitation on her face.

Around, the eyes of other people also flashed a gleam of fear.

"What's going on?" Sauron's heart moved.

"Recently, undead appeared in the Mist Forest!"

Mrs. Lafite took a deep breath and said, "Early before the White Valley people occupied Night Crow City, Maester Frost sent people to the Forest of Mists."

"As a result, everyone has gone and never returned!"

"And a hunter who escaped by chance claimed to have encountered undead in the forest of mist, and his companions all died in the forest of mist."

"Undead?"

Sauron's eyes flashed.

If it was before, he might have sneered when he heard the appearance of undead in the misty forest, but now from the necromancer, Sauron knows that undead are real things.

When the living die, the soul leaves the body.

The souls of ordinary people will generally be reduced to ethereal spirits, unable to exist in the world for a long time, and will be wiped out as soon as the sun shines.

And if the Void Spirit absorbs the dead energy, it may become an undead.

Although in the eyes of wizards, the undead are also very weak compared to the ethereal, but at least they can survive for a long time in places like cemeteries.

Even mastering some special abilities.

But even so, the undead were still very weak. If something that appeared in the Mist Forest really killed all the people sent by Frost, then Sauron was sure that the other party was not an undead.

At least, there are also ghosts, wraiths and the like!
"Is the ghost pattern flower the only material needed to prepare the night crow potion?" Sauron asked after a long while.

"At present, it looks like this." Mrs. Lafite nodded.

"okay, I get it."

Sauron nodded, thoughts flickered in his mind, thinking that if he had time, he might go to the forest of mist to find out.

Those sent by Frost to the Mist Forest are just ordinary people.

They may be killed by spirit bodies, but Sauron is different. As a middle-level knight, the aura emanating from Sauron's body is enough to make the undead stay away.

"Is there anything else?" Sauron raised his head and asked.

Everyone shook their heads, only Mrs. Ni Lan showed hesitation.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Sauron ignored him, waved his hand to signal that everyone could step back, and then got up to leave.

"Master Sauron."

Just as Sauron had just walked out of the hall, Mrs. Ni Lan chased after her and said in a low voice, "Can I spare you a little time?"

Sauron pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Like Lafite, Ni Lan is also one of the three wives of Orens. The other party is only about 25 years old. She is in the prime of life. She looks delicate and charming, just like a rose. She was deeply loved by Orens before. Adams' favorite.

"What's the matter? Madam Ni Lan." Sauron asked.

Although the other party is a woman of Orens, in a sense, she can even be regarded as Sauron's elder, but there are different rules in this world.

For nobles, except for the main wife, all women are just playthings.

In some open places, nobles would even exchange female companions, so Lafite and the other three wives were actually not important to Orens.

Even, in the eyes of Orens, they are not as loyal as Cavalier Kailo.

After all, as long as one has power, there are as many things as women, but it is not easy to train a knight.

Under such a premise, Lafite and the others had a very respectful attitude in front of Sauron.

They knew very well who was the owner of this castle. If Orens really couldn't come back, then according to the laws of the Duchy of Tar, Sauron had every right to deal with them.

Whether it's driving out of Night Crow City, or being received by my side...

"That's right, Master Sauron."

A hint of flattery appeared on Ni Lan's face, and she said in a low voice: "I heard that after you came back this time, there has been no personal maid by your side, so I want to introduce someone to you."

"She is my niece, she is just 14 years old this year."

"If possible, I would like to introduce her to work in Ravenhold."

Hearing Ni Lan's words, Sauron probably understood.

"sure, no problem."

Sauron nodded. For ordinary people, being able to come to the castle to serve the nobles is definitely a job that everyone is vying for.

"Thank you, Master Sauron." Ni Lan nodded repeatedly.

Afterwards, Sauron ignored the other party and turned back to his room.

"It seems that we have to go to the forest of mist as soon as possible!"

A trace of thought appeared on Sauron's face, and with a thought, a line of data appeared in front of his eyes.

[Night Crow Breathing Method LV7 (25/100)]

Although he has returned to Night Crow City, due to the lack of Night Crow potion, the progress of breathing method is not too fast.

Therefore, Sauron must go to the forest of mist and get back some ghostweed as soon as possible.

As long as he has enough night crow medicine, he can speed up the progress of the breathing method, so as to cultivate the life seed and advance to the high-level knight realm.

Afterwards, Sauron shook his head and checked the progress of the Dark Spirit Sacrifice.

After these few days of meditation, the Sacrifice of the Dark Spirit has not yet broken through Lv1, but it is not too far away from condensing the runes.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

The morning sun rose from the east, emitting bright rays of light. In the open space in front of Night Crow City, Sauron had gathered a group of soldiers ready to go.

"Master Sauron, are we sure we want to go to the Forest of Mists?"

Next to him, Knight Kailo showed hesitation, and seemed a little afraid of the misty forest where there were rumors of ghosts wandering.

"Don't worry, Uncle Kailo."

Sauron shook his head, and said, "This time, Knight Konrad will accompany us to the Forest of Mist. Even if there are undead, it's no big deal."

Hearing that Konrad was accompanying him, Cavalier Kailo was a little relieved.

After a while, a burly figure walked out of the city gate. It was Conrad, the steel-hearted knight, and his followers hurriedly brought him a black horse.

Although Sauron was not too nervous about the undead in the Mist Forest.

But with Konrad accompanying him, there is always an extra layer of insurance. If there are really undead in the misty forest, Konrad, as a high-level knight, is enough to contend a little.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Seeing that Konrad had arrived, Sauron waved his hand and immediately announced the departure of the crowd, and the team marched mightily towards the forest of mist.

Not long after, everyone came outside a forest.

This is the Mist Forest, which also belongs to the territory of the Swain family. When Orens used it as a resource point, as long as materials such as withered hand vines and ghost patterns were lacking, he would send people to the Mist Forest. forest collection.
