The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 77 Old Warrington

"By the way, what about the western border?"

Suddenly, Histor asked.

"According to your order, Goliath has gone to the west."

Misera hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The Duke of the Western Territory received Goliath, but the other party did not agree to support you as the new king!"

"normal."

Histor nodded and said with a sneer, "The battle for the throne has just begun, that old fox won't take sides so easily."

"However, it doesn't matter."

"As long as the Western Territory doesn't side with Gallon in this battle for the throne, even if Phils chooses to stay out of it, I can accept it!"

As he said that, Histor's eyes flashed, and he said quietly: "However, if he insists on being my enemy, then don't blame me!"

……

The sky in the distance glowed a flaming red, the sun gradually sank to the west, and the afterglow fell on the barren road. A knight was riding forward.

Herod!
Sauron pulled the reins, controlled the horses to stop, took out a map from his arms, glanced at it, and his eyes flashed with thought.

"Old Warington can be reached in the dark."

Sauron nodded slightly. Five days had passed since he set off from Night Crow City.

In the past few days, Sauron traveled day and night. He had already left the territory of the Principality of Tal, and he was getting closer and closer to the free city of Old Linton.

"Before entering Old Warington, though, let's get rid of that little mouse."

A trace of coldness flashed in Sauron's eyes.

The next moment, he took off the longbow and shot an arrow at the rock not far away.

call out!
The moment the sound of piercing the sky sounded, the stone let out a shrill scream.

Immediately afterwards, blood flowed from the stone hit by the arrow, and at the same time, it twisted and turned into a thin man with pointed ears and monkey cheeks.

"Damn!"

A glint of viciousness flashed in the man's eyes, he pulled out the arrow on his shoulder, slapped the ground with both hands, and pierced through the soil one by one like bamboo shoots.

Sauron jumped up and drew out the cross sword.

"what!!"

Jianmang stabbed straight ahead, the man screamed and scrambled backwards to dodge.

"My lord, please forgive me..."

A plea flashed in the man's eyes, but Sauron responded with a merciless sword.

brush!
The cross sword sliced ​​through the man's throat, blood gushed out and ended his life at the same time.

In situ, Sauron remained expressionless.

As early as yesterday, he had sensed the existence of the man, but he kept his face all the time, and now he took action to deal with him.

In Uris' notes, Old Lyndon is a city built by wizards.

Therefore, the closer you are to here, the more likely you are to meet a transcendent.

Sauron came to the man's body.

After some searching, they found more than a dozen magic stones. It seemed that the other party was a first-level wizard apprentice.

His strength is not very good, but he is very courageous. He dared to ambush Sauron on the road, but in the end he lost his life.

"The city of wizards!"

Sauron stood up, looking forward, the light in his eyes flickered slightly.

On the way to Old Lington, he encountered an ambush by an extraordinary person. He didn't feel scared, but a little bit of excitement arose in his heart.

After all, being able to meet wizard apprentices here shows that Old Lington is indeed a gathering place for wizards.

Immediately, Sauron stopped hesitating and accelerated towards Old Lington.

Before dark, a city appeared in the distance.

The gray-white city wall is tall and strong, with a moat in front of it. On the huge suspension bridge, people from all over the world are constantly entering and leaving the city gate.

On both sides of the city gate, there are two statues standing.

Each statue is ten meters high, and one of them is a harpy-faced banshee with lifelike gray wings behind her.

And the other is a knight holding a spear, a round shield, and a mask covering his face. He looks ordinary, but his eyes seem to be watching everyone below.

"Witchcraft puppet?"

Sauron's heart moved, recalling the description of Old Lington in Uris' notes.

"Everyone who enters the city will pay one silver coin."

At the gate of the city, guards in strong and sharp clothes charged the fee for entering the city.

Old Lington is a free city-state, so it does not belong to any kingdom or principality. The superficial controllers here are the major chambers of commerce in the city.

But in fact, behind the old Linton, it has always been controlled by the extraordinary family.

There is also, it is said, a real wizard.

After paying a silver coin, Sauron entered Old Lington. This city is not too big, but it is full of ancient atmosphere.

The buildings on both sides are mostly made of rock, and the walls are full of traces of time. In the center of the city, there are several white towers standing.

Sauron came to a street.

He stopped, looked up and saw a place called Dayfire Tavern. According to Uris' notes, behind this tavern was a family of extraordinary people.

Walking straight into the tavern, Sauron looked around.

On the surface, the Dayfire Tavern is no different from an ordinary tavern. There are a few tables in the not-so-large space.

On the table by the window, there were a few men sitting, drinking and chatting. On the other side, an old man who was already drunk was lying there and sleeping soundly.

The maid with a hot body twisted her waist to serve the guests food and drinks, and she winked from time to time, causing the men to whistle.

"They're all ordinary people?"

Feeling the breath of the guests in the tavern, Sauron felt a little disappointed in his heart.

But then, his heart moved.

At the counter not far away, a mild-looking middle-aged man was wiping a wine glass. He wore a silver-white ring on his left index finger, which caught Sauron's attention.

"Extraordinary item!"

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly, and he could tell at a glance that it was an extraordinary item.

So he walked over.

"What would the guest want?"

The man didn't stop what he was doing, and continued to wipe the wine glass in his hand.

"Have a glass of fire wine." Sauron said.

Hearing the fire wine, the man's movements paused for a moment, but it was only for a moment before he recovered and put the cleaned wine glass aside.

"Please wait."

The man said softly, and then took out some materials for making fire wine from under the counter.

After a smooth process, the man pushed a glass of red wine, which seemed to be burning, to Sauron.

"enjoy your meal."

The man smiled and looked at Sauron with interest.

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind.

The fire wine in front of me is not an ordinary drink. It is mixed with several special ingredients, which is fatal to ordinary people.

If it is an ordinary person, drinking a cup of fire wine may burn his intestines through, and only extraordinary people can withstand fire wine.

And this is also the way the Dayfire Tavern uses to distinguish between ordinary people and extraordinary people.

Anyone who comes to the Dayfire Tavern can only be recognized by drinking a glass of fire wine.
