The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 86 Laboratory

"Well, now you have a chance."

Sauron had no expression on his face, and he didn't allow Orion to refuse, and pulled him into the passage.

Not long after, the two came to a basement.

The dark basement is not big, it looks like it is no more than ten square meters, and there is nothing in it, nothing.

"It's impossible!"

Seeing the empty basement, Orion had a look of astonishment on his face, and said hastily, "I saw Mrs. Polka bring a lot of things into the basement, how could there be nothing there?"

"Is there a dark room?"

As he said that, Orion lay down and tapped the ground with his hands. There was a dull sound, and he quickly tapped on the surrounding walls again, but still got nothing.

"Are you kidding me?"

Sauron's eyes flashed a icy coldness as he stared at Orion.

"No! I dare not!"

Orion's face turned pale, and he fell to his knees in fright, and quickly swore that he was not lying.

Seeing Orion's appearance, Sauron's eyes flashed with thought.

Then, he looked around.

There is nothing in the basement, and the surrounding area and the ground are also solid, so there cannot be a dark room.

At this time, the murals on the wall caught Sauron's attention. .

It was a mural of a red snake with an open mouth and sharp fangs. It looked lifelike, especially the pair of vertical pupils were like rubies.

Sauron's heart moved.

He took out the silver-white key and tried to insert it into the mural, but failed.

After thinking about it, Sauron injected magic power into the key.

Immediately, under the influence of the magic power, the silver-white key seemed to come alive and turned into a white snake, which entangled with the red snake on the wall.

At the same time, a crack appeared on the surface of the wall.

Seeing this scene, Orion was surprised.

A smile appeared on Sauron's face. Just to be on the safe side, he grabbed Orion and walked directly towards the crack in the wall.

Passing through the crack, the two came to a space.

The wall behind him twisted for a while, Sauron's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around to stop it, only to see a red snake swimming into his hand, turning into a red key.

Gradually, the wall recovered as before, but the murals on it turned into white snakes.

"Is this the core area of ​​the manor?"

Looking at the red key in his hand, Sauron was thoughtful, then looked around, and found that he and Orion were in an area similar to an underground palace.

"here is?"

Orion looked surprised, opened his mouth wide and said, "Master Boka has never brought me here before."

Sauron didn't speak, and walked forward. Seeing this, Orion hurriedly followed, and he was also very nervous in the face of such a strange scene.

This dungeon consists of several rooms.

Sauron pushed open a door, and inside was a room similar to a laboratory. A huge experimental table was placed in the center, with various beakers, test tubes, glass bottles and other things on it.

In the corner of the room is an iron cabinet with various glass bottles in it.

"Scorpion water!"

Seeing the glass bottles on the iron cabinet, Orion's eyes lit up, and he seemed to recognize one of the glass bottles, which contained something called scorpion water.

Sauron walked in and opened a glass bottle.

"What the hell is scorpion water?"

He turned around and asked Orion.

"Scorpion water is a kind of medicine."

A trace of complexity flashed in Orion's eyes, and he said, "That's the potion developed by Lord Polkadot. Anyone who drinks it once will have to take it every month thereafter."

"Otherwise, the whole body will fester and die!"

While speaking, Orion lowered his head. He was also a victim of scorpion water. If he didn't take scorpion water regularly, he would definitely die.

Sauron was thoughtful.

Back in the Dark Forest, Burt had mentioned the scorpion water, and Sauron guessed at that time that it should be Orion's way of controlling his men.

Now it seems that it is so.

Sauron put down the scorpion water potion in his hand, and looked to the side. There were many potions in the iron cabinet, and there were labels on them.

The name and purpose of each potion are very detailed.

"It's right!"

The corners of Sauron's lips twitched slightly. It seemed that Poka, as a potion master, had almost hidden all his wealth in this underground palace.

Immediately, he stopped hesitating and started searching.

There are many things in the underground palace, and the items stored in different rooms are also different, but most of them are related to potions.

In addition to finished potions, there are also books and materials on potions.

""Introduction to Potion Science", "Classification of Basic Materials", "Introduction to Physical Potions"..."

Looking at the books related to potions in front of him, Sauron's eyes flickered slightly. Compared with those finished potions, perhaps these books are the real wealth.

"In Old Lington, does Polkadot have any relatives or friends?"

Suddenly, Sauron raised his head and asked Orion who was beside him.

"……No."

Orion was taken aback, but said honestly: "I have served Lord Boka for 15 years, and I have never heard of him having any relatives or friends."

"In Old Lington, Lord Polkadot has always been a loner."

"Except for some business collaborators, there are almost no friends."

As he said that, Orion suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Master Boka once had a disciple, but he was driven away two years ago."

"What's his name?" Sauron's eyes flashed.

"Hero." Orion nodded.

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind, if Polka had no companions in Old Lington, did it mean that he could occupy the magpie's nest.

Originally, Sauron sneaked into the manor just to reap some benefits.

But now, after discovering Polka's laboratory, he has a new idea. Anyway, Polka is dead, so as long as Sauron controls Orion and replaces him to occupy the manor, it should not be a problem.

"Maybe you can think about it!"

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly. Anyway, he still had to stay in Old Lington for some time, and this manor was just a place to stay.

Afterwards, Sauron raised his head and asked Orion some questions.

After learning about the situation of the manor and his relationship with Polka, he made a decision in his heart to control the manor.

"My lord, do you want to replace Polkadot and become the owner of the manor?"

At this time, Orion seemed to have seen Sauron's thoughts, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and said: "Actually, this is not difficult."

"As long as you can provide scorpion water, the people in the manor will never oppose you."

Hearing what Orion said, Sauron nodded slightly.

As the owner of the manor, Boca has always used scorpion water to control his subordinates. Although this method is simple and rude, the effect is very good.

Life and death are between Boka's thoughts, so the people under him naturally dare not betray easily.

The former Burt was an exception, but in Sauron's view, the main reason why he dared to betray Polka was probably bewitched by Karina.
