The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 42 Serving
But fortunately, Sauron did not gain nothing from going to the Forest of Mist this time.

The ghost pattern flowers collected by everyone are enough to configure a lot of night crow potions, allowing Sauron to use them for a long time, and even be promoted to a high-level knight.

And as long as they are promoted to high-level knights, Sauron and Konrad will almost have no fear of the wraith tree demon in the Misty Forest.

"Mr. Conrad, are you all right?"

Sauron turned around, looked at Konrad, and used the power of the life seed many times in a row, which was a great burden even for high-level knights.

"fine."

Conrad shook his head, the injuries he suffered in the Misty Forest were not serious.

"That's good."

Sauron nodded, and then led everyone back to Night Crow City.

After returning to Night Crow City, Maester Frost was taken aback when he saw that half of the team had been lost. He was relieved to see that Sauron was safe and sound.

"Maester Frost."

Sauron opened his mouth and said: "Decree, from today on, no one is allowed to step into the forest of mist again, and those who violate it will be punished as robbery!"

"Yes, my lord." Frost nodded.

"Also, please configure some night crow medicine as soon as possible."

Afterwards, Sauron gave all the ghost pattern flowers collected from the Misty Forest to Frost, and ordered the other party to make the night crow potion as soon as possible.

This is easier for Frost.

With the ghost pattern flower, the matter of the night crow potion is no longer a problem. After explaining everything, Sauron turned and went back to his room.

After a short rest, he ordered people to prepare hot water.

After a chaotic battle in the Misty Forest, his body was stained with a lot of blood-red liquid, and now he smelled bad, so he wanted to wash it off as soon as possible.

So Sauron came to the bathroom.

The bathroom in Raven Castle is divided into several places, the largest of which is similar to a swimming pool. The Noda pool is filled with hot water and is emitting white mist.

In the bath, a burly figure sat inside.

Sauron frowned, unexpectedly, the injured Conrad also wanted to take a bath, and came to the bath one step earlier than himself.

Shaking his head, Sauron took off his coat.

Wearing only a pair of shorts, he walked into the bath, feeling the wrapping of the water, and felt as if all the tiredness in his body would be swept away.

On the opposite side, Konrad was silent.

Although he had known the other party's character for a long time, Sauron still felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he pondered for a moment, and then took the initiative to speak.

"Mr. Conrad, do you know my father?"

Hearing Sauron's words, Konrad nodded slightly.

"Are you friends?" Sauron asked.

"No."

Connard shook his head, fell silent for a moment, and said calmly, "I once had a duel with Orens, and I lost to him."

Sauron's heart moved.

Connard and Orens are both high-level knights, and the confrontation between the two is normal, but, judging from Connard's attitude, it seems that things are more than that simple.

"That should be a wonderful duel, right?" Sauron said tentatively.

Conrad fell silent.

After a long while, he said quietly: "Your father only used one move, and completely defeated me!"

"One trick?" Sauron's heart skipped a beat.

"Not bad, only one move!"

Connard's eyes were complicated, and there seemed to be a hint of bitterness in his tone.

Then, he got up slowly.

Whoa!
Conrad's sturdy body appeared in front of Sauron, with a hideous scar on his chest, which looked like a twisted centipede.

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly.

Judging from Connard's wounds, he and Orens may not know that it is a simple duel, and the two parties may already have the belief of going all out.

But in the end, it ended in Connard's disastrous defeat.

"For so many years, I have been hiding in the capital and cultivating painstakingly, so that one day I can fight Orens again!"

Conrad's eyes flickered, and he said quietly: "Only by defeating him can I break the barrier of my heart and get the chance to step into a higher level!"

Hearing Conrad's words, Sauron looked thoughtful.

"Unfortunately, my father has disappeared." Sauron said lightly.

"I can wait."

Conrad said with a blank expression: "I never believe that Orens is dead. One day, he will return to Night Crow City."

"And at that time, it's time for us to fight again!"

"This time, I must win!"

Conrad's tone was calm, but a determined light flashed in his eyes.

The experience of losing to Orens many years ago was already a demon for Connard, so much so that he was unable to break through his own realm now.

Sauron didn't speak, but he sighed in his heart.

Orens was not missing, but was sleeping in the basement below Raven Castle, but it was uncertain when he would wake up.

Therefore, Conrad's wish may not be fulfilled in a short time.

In the bathroom, the two stopped talking.

After a while, Konrad got up to leave, and Sauron noticed that the wounds he had suffered in the Misty Forest had almost healed by now.

"Is this the physique of a great knight?"

A thought flashed in Sauron's eyes. The physique of a high-ranking knight was different from that of ordinary people, and his recovery ability could almost be described as terrifying.

After a while.

Sauron also had a similar soak, so he called two maids to give him a massage, and he immediately felt much more relaxed.

Then, he put on clean clothes and turned back to the room.

At this time, night has quietly fallen.

After experiencing the misty forest, Sauron didn't want to meditate anymore today, so he planned to take a good sleep to recover his spirit.

"Who?"

But just as Sauron closed the door, he suddenly noticed a figure curled up under the quilt at the corner of the bed, with only half of his head exposed.

"Sau...Master Sauron."

It was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a sweet and weak appearance. She was wrapped in a quilt at the moment and looked a little shivering.

"Who are you?" Sauron frowned slightly.

"Mrs. Ni Lan is my aunt."

The girl bit her lips lightly, and said in a low voice, "My aunt asked me to serve Master Sauron."

There was a flash of surprise in Sauron's eyes.

Before, Mrs. Ni Lan did mention to him that she hoped to introduce her niece to work in the castle.

Sauron didn't care at the time.

Now it seems that the girl in front of her is Ni Lan's niece.

"How will you be here?"

Sauron frowned. Even if Ni Lan wanted her niece to work in the castle, there was no reason for her to appear in her room.

"Auntie... Let me serve Master Sauron tonight."

The girl's face was as red as an apple, and she mustered up the courage to slowly lift the quilt on her body.

The naked body as white as snow appeared in front of Sauron, perhaps because she was too nervous, the girl's body couldn't help trembling slightly.
