The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 96 Wake Up
In an instant, the soul-inducing scroll burned.

"The lost soul, return to the body!"

On the spot, Sauron spat out syllables lightly, bit the tip of his tongue at the same time, and sprayed a mouthful of blood at the spirit body not far away.

Suddenly, the spirit body let out a shrill scream.

Immediately afterwards, under the influence of the soul-inducing technique, he turned into a cloud of gray mist, and finally surged back into Orens' body.

In the coffin, Orens trembled all over.

At this time, the scroll of soul-inducing technique had been completely reduced to ashes. Sauron stepped forward quickly, looking at the man in the coffin.

Orens trembled all over, his eyes were still closed, but his face was slightly distorted.

"Uh...ah!!!"

The next moment, Orens opened his eyes and sat up suddenly from the coffin. While trembling, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

His face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear.

"Success!"

Not far away, seeing Orens waking up, Frost looked excited, and hurried forward, but was stopped by Sauron with a wave.

Sauron shook his head, signaling Frost not to come forward.

"What's wrong with me?"

Orens sat there, looking at his trembling hands, a trace of pain appeared on his face, and some unbearable images seemed to recall in his mind.

After a while, Orens raised his head.

"... Sauron?"

A trace of confusion flashed in Orens' eyes, and he said hoarsely, "Aren't you supposed to be at Shenghui Academy? Why are you coming back now?"

Frost hesitated, but said nothing.

"Father."

Sauron looked calm and said softly: "Do you still remember what happened before?"

"Before?"

Orens was taken aback, and murmured: "I remember...the black book...the skeleton...my soul seems to have left my body!"

After finishing speaking, a trace of pain appeared on Orens' face.

Sauron was thoughtful.

It seems that the experience of losing his soul caused Orens to lose part of his memory. Perhaps the current him does not know that a long time has passed, and the memory in his mind still stays in a long time ago.

"Let's rest for a while, father."

Sauron stepped forward and helped Orens out of the coffin.

Beside, Frost also stepped forward.

"Maester Frost."

Orens' face was pale, and his state was extremely weak. Looking at Frost next to him with a concerned face, he forced a smile.

"I'm fine..."

As soon as the words fell, Orens closed his eyes and fell into a coma again.

However, this time the coma was entirely due to the weakness of the body, and it only needed a period of rest to recover.

Sauron helped Orens back to the second floor of the castle.

The maids who were cleaning were all surprised when they saw Orens, but they didn't dare to say anything under Frost's warning eyes.

"God, what happened?"

Sonia came towards him, and when she saw the unconscious Orens, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Father is in a weak state, tidy up a clean room and come out."

Sauron ordered.

"Yes!"

Sonia nodded quickly, although she had too many doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to ask questions now.

Not long after, Orens was helped to a room.

Sonia ordered people to prepare food and water, and thoughtfully took over the task of taking care of Orens.

"Father will leave it to you, Maester Frost."

After handing Orens to Frost, Sauron turned and went back to his room.

"Cough cough!"

As soon as he returned to the room, Sauron's face changed, and then he coughed violently.

On the ground, a ball of black blood was shocking.

Sauron's face was gloomy, and when he came to the mirror, he found that his face was bloodless.

blah!

Pulling off the clothes on his chest, Sauron looked at himself in the mirror, his chest was pitch black, and his blood vessels protruded like tiny poisonous snakes.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work!"

Sauron sighed.

On the way back to the Principality of Tal, he was intercepted and killed by Hiro and others. Although he successfully wiped out all the enemies, he was also poisoned because of it.

The nameless poison was particularly strong. Even Sauron couldn't completely remove it with antidote, and could only temporarily suppress it with magic power.

And until just now, the toxins in the body finally couldn't be suppressed.

"It seems that we must find a way to refine some powerful antidotes!"

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly.

The poison in his body had a great impact on him. If he couldn't get rid of it in time, it might even cause his life to be in danger.

Fortunately, Sauron got the knowledge of potions in Boka's manor back in Old Lington.

Relying on the proficiency system, Sauron has already learned about potions. Next, as long as he spends time, he can completely refine potions to detoxify by himself.

However, Sauron didn't want to leak the news of his poisoning.

The situation in the Principality of Tar is tense now.

The reason why Night Crow City was not annexed was largely due to Sauron's strength. If the outside world found out that he had been poisoned, then no one knew what the Duke of the West Territory, Ferrs, would do.

……

In the new calendar year 826, the harvest season, August.

The Duchy of Tar, the capital of the king.

The golden sunlight swayed down from the sky. In the ancient and luxurious palace, on the huge square, the ground made of pure white rocks had already been cleaned clean.

In front, there is a [-]-meter red carpet covered with flowers on both sides.

Ander wore a crown on his head, and the joy in his heart could not be concealed on his face.

Today is his wedding day.

As long as he married Malice, Ander would be able to gain the support of the Duke of the West Region, thereby strengthening the legitimacy of his throne.

"Wait, Hester, Gal!"

Ander's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself: "When I get the army from the Western Territory, you two traitors will pay for your actions!"

Just as Ander was thinking, Earl Lane's voice suddenly sounded.

"The time has come, Your Majesty!"

Earl Lane, wearing a white robe, stood aside and said softly.

Ander nodded, and then swaggered forward.

At the end of the red carpet, a beautiful girl stood there.

Manlisi was wearing a white gauze dress, which set off Miaoman's figure even more beautifully. Her long black and soft hair was casually scattered behind her shoulders, and an aquamarine gemstone on her chest shone with pure luster in the sunlight.

Seeing how beautiful Manlis was, Ander felt a burst of fire in his heart.

Originally, he was still a little worried that the daughter sent by the Duke of the Western Territory would be an ugly toad, but the moment he saw Malice, Ander's heart fell completely.

The other party can not only bring him the support of the western region, but also has a face that any man can long for.

In the front, the bachelor presiding over the wedding was chattering and reciting the etiquette, and Ander couldn't help but feel a little impatient, but he still kept smiling.
