The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 97 The Death of King Blood
"In the name of the ancestors of the Tal clan, the kings of all dynasties!"

"I declare that Ander Tal will marry Malice today, and the two will be husband and wife from now on, and their soul and body will never be separated!"

With the end of the Grand Maester's speech, there was a burst of cheers and applause from around.

"Now, invite the two of you to have a drink together!"

Hearing the Grand Maester's words, Manliss showed a hint of shyness on her face, and slowly raised her wine glass, while Ander was also smiling, and exchanged glasses with each other for a drink.

This is the tradition of the Duchy of Tar.

Every new couple will exchange glasses and drink together, which represents the absolute trust between the two parties, and from then on, they will live and die together until death.

"Uh……"

However, just after Ander drank the wine in Manliss' glass, his face suddenly changed, and he saw the mocking eyes of the other party.

The next moment, he seemed to understand something.

"There is poison in the wine!?"

Ander clutched his chest, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, his footsteps retreated one after another, and scarlet blood continued to overflow from his mouth and nose.

The sudden change took everyone by surprise.

"This is a greeting from His Royal Highness Historic."

Man Lisi was expressionless, with a trace of paleness appearing on her face, and the sapphire on her chest flickered for a while, making her whole person seem to become unreal.

"Come on, take her down!"

Earl Lane let out a roar, and hurried forward, supported Ander, and at the same time called for the bachelors to come over and treat him.

In the surrounding area, the Royal Guards also appeared one after another.

They rushed towards Manliss quickly, wanting to take him down, but before they got close, they saw that Manliss' figure had gradually disappeared in place.

Such a strange scene left everyone present dumbfounded.

The originally lively wedding suddenly turned into chaos. Earl Lane's face was gloomy, looking at Ander's face full of pain, he gritted his teeth with hatred.

He raised his head abruptly, looking around.

But then it was discovered that all the guests in the western region were missing, including the blood lion knight Rokas and his guards.

Earl Lane's heart sank.

At this moment, why didn't he understand that everything was a conspiracy arranged in advance, and he hated himself for not being aware of it.

……

Western Territory, Night Crow City.

In the huge room on the second floor of the castle, there was a pungent smell in the air, and a huge experimental table took up two-thirds of the space.

On the experimental table, there are various equipment.

There were test tubes, beakers, candlesticks and other things. Sauron stood by the experimental table, focusing on the movements in his hands.

呲! !

As the last ingredient was poured into the container, the originally dark red liquid quickly turned into sea blue, and at the same time emitted a strange smell.

"The latest antidote, complete!"

Looking at the liquid in the container, a smile appeared on Sauron's face, and he immediately poured it into a glass bottle before it cooled completely.

After doing all this, Sauron's eyes flickered slightly.

It has been ten days since Old Lington returned to the Western Territory. During this period, except for going to the basement to awaken Orens, Sauron spent the rest of the time researching potions.

There is no way, the poison left by Hero is really terrible.

Sauron refined a lot of antidotes, and healed his body little by little. Now that his condition has finally recovered, the progress in potion science is also obvious.

----------

Looking at the light curtain in front of him, Sauron's eyes flickered slightly.

After these ten days of hard work, the toxins in his body have been gradually eliminated, and Sauron's potion science has also been raised to Lv3.

With his current attainments in potion science, he can be on par with Polkadot.

On the other side, the idea of ​​the Dark Spirit's Sacrifice has also been upgraded again. While Sauron's spiritual power is growing, a ninth rune is condensed in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Ghost fire!"

Sauron raised his hand and uttered syllables, a dark green flame condensed in his palm, exuding a chill.

This is the ghost fire rune, a fusion rune of dark and fire elements.

According to this speed of cultivation, it might not take long for Sauron to be promoted to the realm of a third-level apprentice.

While thinking, Sauron took out a piece of parchment.

"Black fire breathing method!"

Looking at the broken information on the parchment, Sauron's eyes flickered slightly.

This breathing method was found by him after killing the high-ranking knight Burt in the dark sea of ​​trees. There was a black monster painted on it.

Under normal circumstances, after obtaining a copy of the breathing method, Sauron will definitely be able to comprehend it soon by relying on his golden finger ability.

However, this time he failed.

The breathing method on the parchment, the information is too incomplete, and at least two-thirds of the text on it is already unrecognizable.

Therefore, Sauron could only use deduction to improve the information of the breathing method bit by bit.

And after such a long time of hard work, Sauron has already understood that the breathing method on this parchment is called the black blood breathing method.

As for the monster above, it was a giant black dragon.

That's right, it's the black dragon!
According to Sauron's inference, this black blood breathing method is likely to be related to the giant dragon, and even the life seed used by Burt at the beginning came from the power of the black dragon.

"This is more advanced than the breathing method I practiced before!"

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind, and then he stood up, went to a side table, opened an ancient book, and continued to study the black blood breathing method.

Through the comparison of a large amount of information, the black blood breathing method is being perfected little by little.

According to Sauron's analysis, he doesn't need the complete Black Blood Breathing Method. As long as he completes part of the information, he should be able to comprehend the Black Blood Breathing Method through the proficiency panel.

Several hours later, Sauron rubbed his dry eyes.

It was getting dark outside, so he put away the Black Blood Breathing Technique, then got up and left the room, and came to the castle hall.

At the huge long table, three ladies sat there one by one.

There is still no sign of Orens on the main seat. Although his soul has been recovered, he has not fully recovered now.

During these days, Orens spent most of his time hiding in his room to rest.

As for the daily work of Night Crow City, Frost and Konrad are in charge. Fortunately, the current situation is fairly stable.
