The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 46 Breathing

"Necronomy? Meditation?" Frost was at a loss.

"Maester Frost."

Sauron pondered for a moment, and said: "Please leave first, there are some things I want to talk to Mr. Thor alone."

Frost hesitated, nodded and turned to leave.

Sauron and Thor were the only ones left in the basement, their expressions on each other were indifferent, as if they were in control of everything.

"So, my father fell into a coma because of meditation?" Sauron asked.

Although it has been mentioned in the Necronomicon Handbook, those who do not have the talent of a wizard will inevitably pay a price for forcefully practicing meditation.

But Sauron didn't know what the current situation of Orens was.

According to Thor, because of practicing meditation, Orens' soul was lost, and now there is only one body left in the sarcophagus.

"Don't you have a mentor?"

Thor looked at Sauron, and suddenly said: "Oh! I understand, you are not an apprentice trained by the Necromancer School, but you just got the inheritance accidentally, so you embarked on a journey of wizarding."

"That's no wonder."

Thor nodded, looked at the sarcophagus beside him, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it was Lord Orens who received the inheritance of the Necromancer School first, but he didn't have the talent to become a wizard. The soul is lost."

"And after Lord Orens, the inheritance of the Necromancer School fell into your hands."

"I have to say that Lord Sauron is lucky. In the mundane world, there may not be a single talented person among hundreds of people."

"If you can cultivate magic power through meditation, it proves that you have the qualifications to become a wizard!"

Hearing Thor's words, thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind.

As I guessed before, Thor and the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce behind it are indeed an organization supported by wizards.

"Mr. Thor, is my father really hopeless?"

After a while, Sauron asked.

"Not at all."

Thor shook his head and said, "Lord Orens doesn't have the talent of a wizard, but he forcibly practiced meditation, which caused his soul to be lost."

"If you want to wake up Lord Orens, you just need to find his lost soul."

"It's just that I don't have the ability."

"Then who has it?" Sauron blurted out.

"At least it must be an official wizard-level existence?" Thor pondered for a moment, and said: "I don't know where the soul of Lord Orens is now, but I think an official wizard should be able to solve his problem."

"What do I need to pay?" Sauron asked.

According to the records in the Necromancer, wizards have always believed in the principle of equivalent exchange, so Sauron knew very well that if he wanted an official wizard to make a move, he had to pay the price.

"Ha ha."

Thor chuckled and said, "With all due respect, Lord Sauron may not be able to accept the price of asking an official wizard to act."

"However, since you asked the question, I will tell you."

"The common currency among wizards is only a resource called magic stones. If you want to invite an official wizard to make a move, you must prepare at least [-] magic stones."

With that said, Thor stretched out a palm.

"Five hundred magic stones?"

Sauron's heart moved. The magic stone is the transaction currency between wizards, which is extremely rare in the secular world. He doesn't have any in his hand now.

"Also, you have to hurry up."

Suddenly, Thor spoke again, saying: "Lord Orens' soul has been lost, leaving only a body, I'm afraid it won't last long."

"Even if he has the physique of a high-level knight, in his current state, the vitality in his body can only last for about half a year at most."

"Half a year?" Sauron's heart sank.

"Yes."

Thor nodded and said, "You must retrieve the lost soul of Lord Orens within half a year, otherwise he will die of exhaustion!"

"...I understand." Sauron's eyes flashed a trace of solemnity.

Afterwards, the two left the basement.

After learning Thor's identity as a superhuman, Sauron's attitude became eager. Through talking with the other party, he learned more about the wizard.

Back on the square, Thor introduced the goods brought by the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce to Sauron.

Some of them are extraordinary items.

"what is this?"

Sauron pointed to a strangely shaped bracelet and asked.

The whole body of the bracelet was pitch black, and it looked like a small snake connected end to end. On the head of the snake were two ruby ​​eyes the size of rice grains.

"Extraordinary item, the ring of the black snake."

Thor picked up the bracelet and said softly: "This is an extraordinary item made by my mentor himself. After injecting magic power, it can summon a black snake!"

"It turns out that this is a supernatural item!"

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly, and there were also records about supernatural items in the Necronomicon. In the world of wizards, anything with supernatural attributes could be called supernatural items.

Looking away from the ring of the black snake, Sauron did not ask the price.

If one wanted to buy supernatural items, one could only use magic stones as a transaction currency, but Sauron didn't even have half a magic stone in his hands.

"Mr. Thor, how many gold coins can I exchange for a magic stone?" Sauron asked.

"Gold coins are the transaction currency in the secular world. In the eyes of wizards, they are just a special metal, and they don't have much value."

Thor shook his head and said, "As far as I know, very few wizards will exchange magic stones for gold coins, so there is no specific exchange ratio between the two."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Sauron's eyes.

Afterwards, he checked in the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce. Thor brought a lot of supernatural items, but it was a pity that Sauron couldn't afford any of them.

"How much is this?" Suddenly, Sauron asked.

"Snow Eagle Breathing Method?"

Thor frowned, and said in a low voice: "The mundane knight's breathing method is not worth much. If you want it, you can get three thousand gold coins."

Sauron's heart moved.

Finally, there was something he was interested in that he could afford, so without hesitation, he bought this Snow Eagle Breathing Method with [-] gold coins.

Later, Sauron asked Thor if there were other breathing methods for sale.

Thor thought for a while, and then found another copy of the Red Snake Breathing Method.

For extraordinary people, the breathing method practiced by knights is of little value, and few apprentices would waste time on it.

However, Sauron was different.

With the proficiency panel, Sauron can quickly comprehend any breathing method, and after being promoted to the extreme, he can condense the seeds of life.

That is the power of runes!
Today, Sauron currently only masters two breathing methods, among which the night crow breathing method has been cultivated to the extreme, thus transforming into the [Raven Spirit] rune.

As for the bull breathing method, it is only one step away from the limit, and it must be able to provide Sauron with a rune in the near future.
