The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 55
While Welch was talking with Sauron, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall.

"Father!"

But a tall, ordinary-looking man in gray-brown armor walked in and saluted Welch.

"The phosphorescent giant elephant appeared again last time."

"This time, a few more serfs were burned to death. If they are not dealt with, I am afraid that Donghu Village will be destroyed by it!"

While speaking, a serious look appeared on the man's face.

"It's just a few serfs who died."

Welch was unmoved, with a trace of disgust on his face, and said coldly: "Look how panicked you are, how can you still look like a knight!"

"I'm entertaining guests. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

After all, Welch waved his hand, indicating that the man could go down.

"But……"

A trace of unwillingness appeared on the man's face, as if he wanted to say something.

"Okay, big brother."

At this time, Viscount Hall came over and said in a low voice: "Father is entertaining distinguished guests, even if there is something, why are you in a hurry?"

Hearing Hall's words, the man's face became gloomy.

Donghu Village is his fiefdom, and now it is being destroyed by giant elephants. Others are not in a hurry, but it is impossible for him to remain indifferent.

"It has nothing to do with you, go away."

The man said something in a cold voice, then looked at Welch, knelt down on one knee, and begged: "My lord, that giant phosphorescent elephant is wandering around Donghu Village. Recently, many people have died. For the sake of those innocent citizens, please act as soon as possible!"

Hearing the man's words, Welch's face turned ugly.

"Bastard! I'm not dead yet. When will Riverrun be your turn?"

Welch grabbed a wine glass and threw it at the man, cursing, "Is your brain full of water? You're as stupid as your bitch mother!"

The cup hit his forehead, and the man's eyebrows were bleeding profusely.

But compared to the pain on his face, Welch's words made him feel more humiliated, but he didn't dare to say anything more in the face of the anger of the lord of Riverrun City.

Next to him, a sneer appeared on Viscount Hall's face.

"Don't hurry up!"

Welch cursed again, the man could only get up silently, turned and left the hall without saying a word.

"Sorry, Sauron, I made you laugh."

Immediately afterwards, Welch's tone returned to the original, and he shook his head and said, "My eldest son has never been smart and always makes me angry."

"Never mind, let's continue."

Sauron nodded slightly, but thoughtful in his heart.

The one who was scolded by Welch just now should be his eldest son, Moxien, a well-known double-bladed knight in Riverrun.

According to outside rumors, the eldest son, Moxien, was originally regarded by Welch as his successor.

Mosheen's knight talent is good and quite capable. When Welch was away, he managed the city of Riverrun in an orderly manner. He was deeply loved by the people, and his reputation even surpassed Welch for a time.

However, it was this kind of reputation that made Welch very dissatisfied.

At the same time, he also felt a little apprehensive. The eldest son's youth and excellence made the lord of Riverrun feel a sense of crisis.

So, after Hall was born, Welch began to deliberately suppress Mosheen.

Not only was he driven to Donghu Village, but even his training resources were gradually reduced, which caused Moxien to not be promoted to the intermediate knight realm for many years.

"Are you really not in a hurry about the Phosphorous Fire Giant Elephant?"

Sauron pondered for a moment, and said: "If Lord Welch needs it, don't worry about me, we can go to crusade now!"

"It's okay, and there's no rush."

Welch waved his hand, with an indifferent expression on his face, and said, "Anyway, that giant phosphorescent elephant is just wandering around East Lake Village, and it's still a long way from Riverrun City."

"Let it live for one more day, it won't be too late for us to go tomorrow!"

Seeing Welch's attitude, Sauron didn't say anything more.

Anyway, Donghu Village is not his territory, no matter how many people die, it has nothing to do with Night Crow City, it doesn't matter if it is sooner or later.

The sun sets, the moon rises, and night falls quietly, with silvery white rays of light falling down.

In Riverrun City, in a luxurious room, Sauron was sitting by the bed, meditating in the usual way, with a faint light floating around him.

After half an hour, Sauron slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the data panel in front of him, Sauron's thoughts flickered.

Compared with the last time, the changes in the data panel are not obvious. Due to the lack of potion coordination, the progress of the Snow Eagle Breathing Method and the Red Snake Breathing Method have also slowed down.

"I still need a special potion!"

Sauron sighed, and picked up a black book called "The Encyclopedia of Secret Medicines" from the side. After opening it, there were many information about potions in it.

"Sharp Eye Potion, Wind Whisper Potion, Widow's Resentment Potion, Toxic Blood Potion, Crimson Scale Secret Potion!"

From this "Encyclopedia of Secret Medicines", Sauron found five kinds of potions, all of which can be used as potions to match the training of Snow Eagle Breathing Method and Red Snake Breathing Method.

Among them, the sharp eye potion and wind language potion have a very high boosting effect on Snow Eagle's breathing method.

The other three potions are compatible with the Red Snake Breathing Method, especially the Red Scale Secret Medicine, which is almost the exclusive potion of the Red Snake Breathing Method.

If relying on the cooperation of these five potions, the Red Snake Breathing Method and the Snow Eagle Breathing Method can be improved to the extreme soon.

Thinking of this, Sauron's mind flickered.

If the two breathing methods are raised to the extreme, it means two runes, and if he has six runes at the same time, Sauron is only one step away from the realm of a second-level apprentice.

Boom boom boom!
Just as Sauron was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Sauron said.

The door was pushed open, and two charming maids walked in, wearing a gauze skirt with visible flesh, full of exotic allure.

"My lord, please let us serve you." The maid said softly.

"No need, let's go down."

Sauron waved his hand, his face was indifferent. It is a kind of aristocratic tradition to entertain guests with female slaves, even though it is still preserved in many places today.

However, Sauron was not interested tonight.

Not to mention whether the two maids are clean or not, Sauron doesn't want to waste energy on this kind of thing since he will attack the giant elephant tomorrow.
