The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 75 Night King
"Yaoh?"

A trace of astonishment appeared on Sauron's face, and he recalled an American drama in his previous life in his mind.

"Yes, Night King!",

Frost looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "According to ancient books, the Night King is a symbol of coldness and death, and also the root of all disasters!"

"Legends say that when ghouls and snow demons cross the Great Wall, the Night King will also descend, and the Lost Continent will also usher in a catastrophe!"

"That is... the end of the white disaster!"

Hearing Frost's words, Sauron frowned slightly.

"Yaoh!"

He muttered to himself, thinking of the connection between the Tide and the Night King.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the demon tide that the ancient ghouls and snow demons appear south of the Great Wall, and the sleeping Night King gradually wakes up.

"How about the Principality of Bingxin?"

After a while, Sauron asked, if the Night King really wakes up and leads the army of ghouls across the Great Wall, then the Principality of Bingxin must bear the brunt.

"The situation in Bingxin Principality is still stable for the time being."

Frost nodded and said, "According to the merchants in the north, although there are snow demons and ghouls who have crossed the Great Wall, the number is not too many."

"Therefore, only a few villages fell, and after Queen Bing Xin sent troops, they quickly suppressed them."

"Just because of the spread of the news, the people panicked and caused several riots!"

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind.

It seems that the tide of magic has just begun. Even if there is a Night King in the extreme north glacier, his power will not be too strong.

However, as the tide of magic recovers, the power of the Night King will also increase.

"By the way, how is father?"

Suddenly, Sauron raised his head and asked.

Due to forced meditation, Orens has been in a coma for a long time. According to Thor from the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce, he should have lost his soul.

It may not take a few days for ordinary people to lose their souls before their bodies will gradually decay and perish.

However, Orens is a senior knight after all.

With the heart of a knight in his body, his vitality far exceeds that of ordinary people, but even so, long-term coma will be life-threatening.

"not too good."

Frost shook his head, his face was a little ugly, he got up and took Sauron to the basement.

In the dark basement, Sauron saw Orens.

It's just that the night crow knight at this moment is much weaker than before, and he has been in a coma for a long time and cannot eat, causing Orens' body to become thin.

That pale face was like that of a corpse.

Sauron frowned slightly. If this situation continues, Orens will probably die in a few months at most.

At that time, even if Sauron retrieves the soul of Orens, it may not make any sense.

"It seems that we have to go to Old Lington as soon as possible!"

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly. According to Uris' notes, Old Lington was a city of wizards, and he might be able to find a way to save Orens.

Afterwards, the two left the basement.

Sauron came to Konrad's residence. Since the last battle in the Misty Forest, the Steel Heart Knight was seriously injured, but after half a month of recuperation, he has recovered a lot.

In the room, Conrad was sitting at the desk.

A raven was crouching on his shoulder, and in his hand was a letter, the wax of which had only just been torn off, evidently not long in his possession.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time."

Sauron looked at the letter in Konrad's hand, which had Hester's seal on it, which seemed to be a private letter from the second princess to Konrad.

"It's nothing."

Conrad shook his head, and generously handed the letter to Sauron.

After receiving the letter, Sauron was not polite.

Seeing the contents inside, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

The contents of the letter are not classified.

After the death of the old king, Princess Histor had already arrived in the northern border. Facing the accusation of the third prince Ander, she naturally had no intention of admitting it.

The current Duke of the North has openly expressed his support for Hester. If Evelyn was not still in the hands of the third prince Ander, the army in the North would have already marched towards the capital.

Histor sent a letter to Konrad, mainly to let him be careful of the Duke of the West.

Among the dukes of the Duchy of Tar, Ferrs is not the strongest, but he is the most cunning one. He will never let go of such a chaotic situation.

Therefore, Histor warned Steelheart Knight that he must guard against the Duke of the Western Territory, Fels. After all, Night Crow City and Sauron are her important layouts in the Western Territory.

Today, the Duchy of Tar is in chaos.

The second princess, Histor, has the support of the northern border, and at the same time has a high prestige in the southern border. If she gets help from the army of the western border, the throne is almost within reach.

"Does His Royal Highness have any plans?"

Sauron put down the letter in his hand and asked Konrad.

"Not yet."

Connard shook his head, and pondered: "However, according to my guess, His Highness Hester's top priority now should be to rescue His Highness Evelyn who is trapped in the capital!"

"After all, as long as His Royal Highness Evelyn is still in Ander's hands, His Royal Highness Historic will not be able to send troops to attack the capital."

"Is that so?" Sauron thought thoughtfully.

……

At the same time, the capital.

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound in the palace, and the palace people outside the door fell silent, followed by the angry roar of the third prince Ander.

"Trash! It's all trash!"

Ander's expression was ferocious, and he roared angrily: "You can't even look down on a little girl, are you Kingsguard all trash?"

In front, more than a dozen Royal Guards lowered their heads.

Facing the anger of the third prince Ander, they also felt ashamed, but the matter had already happened, and no one could shirk responsibility.

A few hours ago, Evelyn, who was imprisoned in the dungeon, disappeared.

When the guard who delivered the food went to the dungeon, a huge hole had been corroded by an incomprehensible force in the wall.

And the Kingsguard who was in charge of guarding Evelyn died without exception.

Moreover, their death method is very strange.

In the dungeon, those corpses were like melted black candles, making people look creepy, and there was a bit of horror in the nausea.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to get angry."

Just as Ander was venting his anger, Earl Lane walked in from the outside.

This man, known as the King of the Underground, was quite handsome in appearance and gentle in temperament. He was wearing a black robe, and he wore rings of colorful gemstones on his ten fingers.

"Uncle, I really didn't expect that!"

Ander gritted his teeth and said: "This group of trash! They can't even do such a small thing well. That girl Evelyn is Hester's weakness."

"Keep Evelyn under control, and Hester will have some scruples."

"But now that Evelyn has run away, we have one less card in our hand!"

Thinking of Evelyn's escape, Ander couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, wishing to execute all the Kingsguard.
