The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 43 The First Class Apprentice

Until now, Sauron didn't understand Madam Ni Lan's true intentions.

The so-called maids seem to be more than just working in the castle.

"What's your name?"

Sauron looked at the young girl. She was not much different from him in age. His body had just developed, but his soft chest had already begun to take shape.

"My name is Nora." The girl lowered her head.

"Madam Ni Lan asked you to be my maid, you should know what it means, right?"

Sauron said lightly.

"Yes... yes." A shy and nervous expression appeared on Nora's face.

"Okay, let's get started."

Sauron raised the corners of his lips and walked slowly towards Nora without being polite.

Nora bit her lip and slowly closed her eyes.

The next day, early morning.

When Sauron came to the hall, breakfast was ready, and the Swain family was waiting for her in an orderly manner. Madam Ni Lan couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"Damn little bitch."

Beside, Madam Lafite had an ugly expression.

Today's Sauron is already the master of the entire Night Crow City and has absolute rights, which means that whoever can please him can get a better life.

In Ravenkeep, Orens had three wives.

On the surface, the three wives are harmonious, but in fact they have been fighting openly and secretly. In order to get Orens' favor, they did almost everything.

Mrs. Lafite did not expect that Ni Lan would act so quickly and stuff her niece into Sauron's room. Now she had seized the opportunity.

Sauron sat on his seat, ignoring the struggle between Lafite and Mrs. Ni Lan.

For him, the women's disputes in Raven Castle didn't mean much, and the reason why he accepted Nora was just to have some fun for himself.

"Master Sauron, Maester Frost has already prepared five potions of night crows, will they all be sent to your room in a while?"

After breakfast, Mrs. Lafite reported.

"So fast?"

Sauron raised his brows, but he didn't expect that Frost moved so fast. The ghost pattern flower he got yesterday has already prepared five night crow potions today.

"Bachelor Frost has been preparing the night crow potion for many years, and now there are assistants to cooperate. As long as the materials are sufficient, it is not a problem to configure the potion." Lafite smiled.

Sauron nodded.

The night crow potion is the key to his promotion to a high-level knight. Now that the problem has been solved, Sauron only needs to concentrate on practicing and he will soon be able to break through.

In the following days, Sauron's life became peaceful.

In addition to practicing the night crow breathing method, Sauron spent almost all of his remaining time in meditation, and his mental strength gradually improved.

In the new calendar year 826, the season of fire, May.

Duchy of Tar, City of Night Crows.

In the room on the second floor of the castle, Sauron sat cross-legged on the bed. When the round of meditation ended, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Finally successful!"

Sauron's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his face.

After such a long period of meditation, the first rune was finally condensed in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Dark soul wave!
According to the records in the Handbook of the Necromancer, this is a dark elemental attack rune, which can condense a cloud of dark elemental energy to attack after being used.

"If you have the chance, you can try it!"

Sauron thought about it, and then opened the data panel.

----------

After this period of practice, the night crow breathing method has reached its limit, and relying on the special potion refined by Frost, the improvement speed of the bull breathing method is also very obvious.

But the Sacrifice of the Dark Spirit has never been upgraded.

But even so, Sauron condensed a rune and successfully became a first-level apprentice. According to the description in the Necromancer Handbook, it would take at least three to five years for ordinary talents to reach this point.

"It's cool to hang on!"

Sauron was very happy, relying on the proficiency panel, he had no bottleneck in his cultivation, and he could continue to improve as long as he followed the steps step by step.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock at the door, and Maester Frost entered.

"What's the matter, Grandpa Frost?"

Sauron was in a good mood and asked with a smile.

"three things."

Frost stretched out three fingers and said, "The first is that the ghost pattern flowers in the castle have been used up, and there is not enough material to prepare the night crow potion."

Sauron nodded slightly.

The ghost pattern flowers collected from the Misty Forest last time should have been used up long ago. Bachelor Frost prepared more than 100 night crow potions, which were enough for Sauron to be promoted to a high-level knight.

Therefore, today's Sauron doesn't really need the night crow potion.

"Second thing, there is a letter from the capital!"

Frost said, taking out a letter from his bosom.

Sauron's heart moved, and after receiving it, he found that the second princess Histor sent someone to briefly ask about the current situation of Night Crow City, and then warned Sauron to be more careful in the near future.

"Venomous Snake Shadow?"

Sauron's eyes narrowed slightly. The letter seemed to be written by the second princess herself. According to Hester's information, it seemed that someone had placed a reward on Sauron's assassination from the Fanged Snake Shadow.

Now, the assassin of Viper Fang and Snake Shadow has probably sneaked into Night Crow City.

"White Valley City?"

Sauron stroked his chin with a pensive expression on his face. There were many people who wanted to kill him, but Baigu City was definitely the most suspected one.

In the war two months ago, Sauron not only beheaded Morun, one of the Three Musketeers of White Valley City, but also sent his head back to White Valley City.

Such behavior is tantamount to a disgrace to Baigu City.

Sauron thought that after that, Baigu City would start a war again, but two months had passed, but there was no movement from the other party.

Now it seems that Dover, the lord of Baigu City, is very calm.

He knew that provoking a war would bring him many hidden dangers, so he chose a better way to deal with Sauron.

The reason why the Swain family can still rule Night Crow City today is mainly because of Sauron.

And Sauron was able to regain Night Crow City, relying on the support of the second princess, Histor.

This also means that if Sauron dies, the connection between Night Crow City and the second princess Histor will be completely severed.

At that time, how the lords of the Western Territory will deal with Night Crow City will be a matter within the Western Territory, and even the Second Princess Histor will not be able to intervene.
