The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 66 Ghost
"Having trouble sleeping?"

Hearing Conrad's words, Sauron frowned slightly.

Then, he came to the other side.

Lifting the gauze on Konrad's chest, Sauron found that the wound had begun to heal, but considering the great knight's physical fitness, such a recovery speed was really slow.

"What happened?" Sauron asked.

"I'm afraid there are no living people left in Giethoorn Village today!"

Conrad said in a deep voice: "After I entered Giethoorn Village, it was shrouded in mist, and all the villagers seemed to have turned into living dead."

"The living dead?" Sauron frowned.

"Not bad!"

Connard nodded and said: "Those villagers should be controlled by the undead, so they became the living dead. After seeing me, they launched a crazy attack!"

"Even you can't stop it?"

"There are too many living dead in Giethoorn. They have no fear, and seem to ignore most physical attacks. Even if they are pierced through the heart, they still have the ability to move!"

Connard shook his head and said: "What's more, besides the living dead, there are many undead wandering in Giethoorn."

"What's even more frightening is that there's that magic tree!"

"Magic tree?"

Sauron frowned slightly, and said, "Isn't that magic tree supposed to be in the Misty Forest? Why did it appear in Giethoorn?"

"It's not the body, it's the roots!"

Conrad said with a serious face, "The roots of that demon tree have already extended to Giethoorn Village, and they can drill out the roots from the soil at a distance of a thousand meters!"

Sauron's heart skipped a beat.

"Has it extended to Giethoorn Village?" A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

The Demon Tree in the Misty Forest is a mutated creature produced by the attachment of vengeful spirits.

Sauron had guessed a long time ago that the demon tree might grow further with time, but the speed of the other party's development was somewhat unexpected.

If this speed is followed, perhaps within two months, the roots of the demon tree may even spread to the night crow city.

At that time, the strength of the demon tree must be even more terrifying!
"It seems that we have to act as soon as possible!"

A trace of solemnity flashed in Sauron's eyes. According to his original plan, he planned to become a second-level apprentice before going to the Misty Forest to deal with the demon tree.

But now it seems that the plan is going ahead of schedule.

crunch!
Just as Sauron was thinking, Connard next to him suddenly clenched his teeth, his face became a little ferocious, and even his blood vessels protruded slightly, as if he was enduring some great pain.

"This is?"

Sauron's heart trembled.

Behind Konrad, a twisted black mist seemed to emerge from flesh and blood, and the translucent body was like a woman with disheveled hair.

"ghost!"

Sauron's eyes flashed, and he immediately saw that the distorted phantom attached to Connard's back was a ghost-level spirit body.

No wonder Konrad has been having trouble falling asleep since returning from Giethoorn.

It turned out that the other party was actually haunted by a ghost.

"What's wrong with me?"

Connard's face was ferocious, and his body twisted unnaturally.

"Come here, get the salt!"

Sauron stepped back slightly, and at the same time shouted loudly to the outside.

"Salt?"

Frost was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't understand the reason, he hurriedly asked people to prepare.

Meanwhile, in the room.

The ghost in Konrad's body seemed to be a little impatient, and after a scream, it rushed towards Sauron.

brush!
Without hesitation, Sauron drew out the cross sword from his waist and swung it.

In mid-air, the ghost was cut to pieces by a sword.

The last time the Black Sail Merchant Guild came to Night Crow City, Sauron specifically asked Thor for advice on how to deal with spirit bodies. The other party said that ordinary spirit bodies would be afraid of iron and sea salt.

In most cases, a piece of iron coated with sea salt can kill the undead.

And spirit bodies that have reached the level of ghosts or wraiths, although they have a certain degree of resistance, will still be hurt if they are touched by sea salt or iron objects.

But, not enough to be fatal.

In mid-air, the ghost that was cut to pieces by the cross sword immediately turned into black mist and drilled back into Konrad's body. As the opponent's body trembled, the originally brown eyeballs gradually turned into pure black.

Sauron's heart sank, knowing that this was a manifestation of being controlled by a spirit body.

Immediately, he quickly exited the room.

On the other side, Konrad swayed for a while, and suddenly let out a screeching sound that didn't resemble a human being. He grabbed a weapon and rushed towards Sauron.

The next moment, the two came back and forth to the hall.

Mrs. Lafite and all the female relatives screamed, and Cavalier Kylo quickly escorted them away and ordered the guards in the castle to come over.

Stab la la!
In the hall, Konrad, who was controlled by the spirit body, attacked Sauron like crazy, and the friction between the weapons made a harsh sound.

On the other hand, Maester Frost sent sea salt.

"give me!"

Sauron grabbed a handful of sea salt and swayed it directly into the air.

The next moment, sea salt like snowflakes fell.

Connard, who was possessed by a ghost, let out a scream as if his skin was burned the moment he touched the sea salt.

But just this is obviously not enough to kill the ghost.

At the same time, the guards also rushed into the castle.

"Everyone, spread out!"

Sauron ordered in a deep voice, and then sprinkled half a can of sea salt on Konrad.

"what!!"

Conrad, who was burned by the sea salt, made a sharp sound, as if a twisted black mist was about to emerge from his body.

Seeing this scene, all the guards had terrified expressions on their faces.

"Don't be afraid!"

Sauron said loudly: "Sea salt and ironware are the nemesis of the undead."

"Everyone, take a handful of sea salt and smear your chest!"

Hearing Sauron's order, the guards hurried over to fetch sea salt. Fortunately, Frost prepared a lot of sea salt, which was enough for everyone.

Not far away, the ghost in Konrad's body also stabilized.

As if feeling threatened, she turned her head and looked around suddenly, and then rushed towards the second floor of the castle with one stride.

"Want to escape?"

Sauron's eyes flashed, and he immediately rushed towards Konrad.

In mid-air, Sauron swung his sword.

The cross sword made of iron slid across Konrad's back, and the ghost in the opponent's body screamed, and then fell directly from the escalator on the second floor.

The surrounding soldiers saw the timing and sprinkled a large amount of sea salt on Conrad.

Like snowflakes of sea salt swaying down.

The ghost suddenly screamed, and couldn't bear it any longer. It came out of Konrad's body, turned into black mist, and was about to escape from the castle.

"It's now!"

Sauron's eyes flashed, and he immediately uttered a syllable, "Traveling the Spirit!"

Immediately afterwards, Sauron raised his hand.

The invisible chain shot out from the cuff, and went straight to the ghost in mid-air, and bound the black mist-like ghost in just an instant.

The next moment, Sauron had a thought.

The invisible chain seemed to be burning, and the burning ghost caused her to let out a scream.
