The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 54 Phosphor Beast

"It's actually quite simple."

Viscount Hall pondered for a moment, and said, "Recently, for some unknown reason, a group of phosphorous fire beasts appeared near Riverrun City!"

"This group of phosphorous beasts not only destroyed the farmland, but also injured the lives of several free folk."

"Father was very angry when he learned about it, so he sent an army to fight against it. As a result, not only did they not kill all the phosphorous beasts, but they also lost a lot of people."

After speaking, Holder paused, and said: "So, if Lord Sauron can take action to eliminate those phosphorous beasts, it will be of great help to Riverrun City!"

Hearing Hall's words, a trace of thought appeared on Sauron's face.

It turned out that a group of monsters appeared near Riverrun City, threatening the surrounding people, so Lord Welch asked Night Crow City to help solve it.

"Phosphorus!"

Sauron's eyes flickered, and he pondered: "As far as I know, phosphorous fire beasts are not large monsters. If they are just them, Lord Welch should be able to deal with them, right?"

The so-called phosphorous fire beast is a monster shaped like a wild boar.

They have rough skin and thick flesh, have slender fangs, and emit high temperature from their bodies, so it is indeed dangerous to appear in groups.

But Welch, the lord of Riverrun, is a senior knight.

With his strength, it should be easy to deal with a group of phosphorous fire beasts, and there is no reason to ask Night Crow City for help.

"If it's just a phosphorous fire beast, it's easy to deal with."

Viscount Hall sighed, and said quietly: "According to the report from the knights who went to hunt down the phosphorous beasts, there is also a phosphorous giant elephant among the group of phosphorous beasts!"

"That monster is a variant of the phosphorous fire beast, and belongs to the king of the group."

"I heard from my father that if he was young, it would not be a problem to deal with a giant phosphorescent elephant, but now it is a bit difficult."

"That's why I thought of Night Crow City." As he spoke, Viscount Hall gave a wry smile.

"So it is."

Sauron's expression suddenly changed. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "In that case, no problem! Night Crow City is happy to help Riverrun City solve its troubles."

"But after it's done, please Lord Welch to fulfill his promise."

"Of course it's fine!"

Viscount Hall readily agreed, and then stood up and said, "If possible, I hope Lord Sauron can act quickly to get rid of the group of phosphorous beasts as soon as possible."

"How about leaving early tomorrow morning?" Sauron asked.

"it is good!"

Viscount Hall nodded. If it was only a day, he would not be in a hurry. It was just that some more farmland in the territory of Riverrun City was destroyed by phosphorous fire beasts.

Afterwards, Sauron ordered someone to prepare a residence for Viscount Hall.

The next day, dawn.

The sky in the distance was slightly white, and the sun was shining on the ground. Under the leadership of Viscount Hall, Sauron and a group of soldiers came to Riverrun soon.

"Hello, young Lord of Night Crow City."

In the castle of Riverrun, Sauron saw Lord Welch, who looked old, with wrinkles on his face that could not be concealed, and silver-white hair all over his head.

"Lord Welch." Sauron said softly.

"Welcome to Riverrun."

Welch looked Sauron up and down, with a sigh on his face, and said: "It's been so many years in a flash, I remember the last time I saw you, you were only this tall."

"Now, he is already a real man!"

Speaking, Welch raised his hand and gestured. He didn't lie. The last time he saw Sauron was many years ago.

Sauron at that time was only a child less than ten years old.

"I am deeply sorry about what happened to your father!"

Afterwards, Welch spoke again and comforted: "However, you don't have to worry too much. Orens is the most powerful senior knight in the Western Region. Although I don't know what he is going through now, I believe that he will get rid of it sooner or later." Dilemma returned to Night Crow City."

"Thank you, Lord Welch." Sauron nodded slightly.

The news about Orens has already been spread in the western region, but the outside world thinks that Orens is missing, but they don't know that he never left Crow City from the beginning to the end.

Under Welch's call, everyone entered Riverrun.

When he came to the castle, Welch had already prepared a banquet. In the magnificent hall, many nobles of Riverrun were sitting.

"Come on, Sauron."

Welch pulled Sauron to sit down, and said with a smile, "Your father and I are best friends, so you don't have to be restrained when you come to Riverrun."

Sauron nodded politely, but laughed in his heart.

The relationship between Orens and Welch seems to be good, but in fact, it is only on the surface. Otherwise, when Night Crow City was captured by White Valley City, Riverrun City would not be indifferent.

Facing Welch's hypocrisy, Sauron's expression remained the same.

Game of Thrones is often like this, only interests can move people's hearts, as for things like emotions, they are not trustworthy at all.

While speaking, Welch introduced everyone in Riverrun to Sauron.

There are already hundreds of people sitting in the hall at this moment, a large part of them are descendants of Welch. Compared with Orens who has few offspring, Welch has quite a few children.

Among them, there are only six sons.

As for the daughters, there are more than 30 of them. The oldest one is nearly 40 years old, and the youngest ones are only three or four years old.

"Lord Welch, you are really old and strong!"

Looking at the youngest girl, Sauron couldn't help sighing. Welch and Orens were of the same age, but their actual age was much older than Orens.

"Haha, isn't that what men are like!"

With a smug expression on his face, Welch pulled a beautiful maid next to him into his arms, and said while reaching out to caress her softness.

"Since you can still move, you will naturally have to toss it hard!"

"Otherwise, when one day you can't move and can only lie on the bed, wouldn't you not even have any good memories?"

"In this regard, I am different from your father."

As he said that, Welch shook his head and said, "Olens is good at everything, but he is too old-fashioned. He is the majestic lord of Night Crow City, and there are only a few women around him."

Sauron was noncommittal after hearing this.

Compared to other noble lords, Orens was indeed very restrained when it came to women. Since the death of Sauron's mother, he seemed to have lost interest in matters between men and women.

Although there are three wives in Night Crow City, they are rarely favored by Orens.

In the eyes of Orens, the allure of men and women is far less than that of chivalry, and his desire to become a great knight makes him extremely strict with himself.

"However, then again."

At this moment, Welch sighed again, and said, "If it weren't for his resolute character, maybe Orens would not have become the strongest among the senior knights in the Western Region!"
