Half a month passed like this.

The village of Baiguoyuan seems to never change. Under the rule and management of the man in black, this village of Taimolia has a more peaceful and stable order than other northern areas.

Perhaps thanks to the local commander of the Nifgaard garrison, he was not necessarily a good person, but at least one person who was very responsible for his territory and affairs.

For example, he used a little trick and tricked Geralt into removing the griffin beast, ensuring people's safety... As for the specific situation, others are not very clear about it. Anyway, only some people in black said something while chatting.

It is said that the white-haired witch hunter, with the griffin beast's head, seemed to be fooled when he went to the military camp to conduct a mission, and finally slammed the door angrily and left.

It seemed that he needed to find a woman, and the commander knew from the beginning that the woman was in Vigima City a day away, but he did not hide it. Instead, he asked the witch hunter to kill the griffin beast first before he could tell the other party about the information.

Although the commander finally gave a considerable amount of gold as a reward, he still could not change the fact that he used the witch hunter.

——But this may be a good thing for the people in the white orchard.

The threat of griffins is quite huge, and according to common sense, they usually only hunt in the wild, and will not rush into towns, and traffic will rush to rage. However, the Nifgads were rude and killed their companions.

As a result, the remaining griffin beast naturally went crazy and began to revenge.

Even though it is for the men in black most of the time, it is difficult to avoid accidentally hurting innocent people. The villagers living in the Baiguoyuan area always come more than the Nivergaard garrison.

Secondly, some big and small episodes—

For example, the two witch hunters made a big fuss on the night they left the White Orchard Hotel. The monster killers were inhumane and directly killed several innocent villagers. They were then caught by the man in black while preparing to escape, and then took them to Vijima City to prepare for execution...

Of course, this version was circulated by the villagers of the Baiguoyuan. Bram didn't believe that the two witch hunters who saved him and didn't even pay him any more is an inhuman monster.

So he told Mr. Conner that the cause of the incident was that a group of "patriots" drank too much that night and made trouble in the hotel.

Those people did not dare to fight against the Nifgaard soldiers wearing black armor, venting their anger and resentment on the boss's head, almost causing a murder. The two witch hunters went up to stop them, but not only refused to retreat, but also drew their swords to kill.

In the end, these "patriots" naturally died under the sharp steel swords of two extraordinary witch hunters.

Moreover, the two witch hunters were not caught, but the woman they were looking for took the initiative to find them and took one of them to Vigima City.

As for the other elderly witch hunter, it seemed that there was something else to do, so he did not follow him, but rode his horse and left the white orchard in the opposite direction.

When talking about this, the traveler still told Mr. Conner a news that he didn't know the truth or the false was unaware of.

That is, when the white-haired demon hunter Geralt and a group of Nifgaard's cavalry left the white orchard, they were actually targeted by the legendary "wild hunter". The demon spirits appeared with the snow-like white frost and chased Nifgaard's cavalry team. I don't know if they had successfully escaped.

The reason why this news came out was that a poor local garrison patrol saw the scene from afar that night. After they came back, they were all trembling with blood on their faces.

This is how Mr. Connor learned about the legend of "wild hunting". It is said that they are a group of knights composed of immortal demon spirits, wearing rusty armor, holding long swords of lightning in their hands, and huge cavalry riding skeleton horses, spreading across the sky in groups.

It is said that "wild hunters" will rush across the sky or the earth to chase their prey. Those they are targeted will inevitably die or disappear. They burn down their houses, take away living people, and further expand their ranks of ghost knights.

This seems to be not just a story - because there are quite a lot of reliable statements about people being captured by wild hunting.

Therefore, the emergence of "wild hunting" is considered a sign of misfortune, death and war, and it is said that generally appears in winter, or before war, always indicates the coming disaster of war.

To be honest, many people believe such rumors, but many people don’t.

Mr. Connor prefers the former. He believes that the world is already so magical, so it is not something that cannot be understood at all. And that night, he also vaguely sensed a strange meaning.

On that uneasy night, the air was filled with an atmosphere of fear. The wild dogs in the woods around the cemetery were restless, and screams came faintly in the wind...

He thought that something might have happened, but in the end he didn't know what happened, but he became alert all night and never closed his eyes until dawn.

After understanding the recent news, the man did not talk too much with Bram. He just came out to replenish food and drinking water. After replenishing, he was ready to go back-

There is good news that because of the two demon hunters passing by, the well of an abandoned village not far away can be used, because the evil spirits entrenched there were driven away.

Therefore, with a stable source of clean water, people no longer need to go to the distance to fetch water, and the price of drinking water will naturally drop.

However, this is somewhat meaningless to Mr. Conner. He currently has a relatively stable source of income. Although there are not many, he has achieved the achievement of having no worries about food and clothing. He is not too concerned about the difference between the copper coins.

Bram didn't ask him what job he had found. Anyway, the other party seemed to have lived in the white orchard well, which was enough.

The villagers of Baiguoyuan didn't know that a gravekeeper lived in the cemetery of their village. Recently, they were still studying the art of necromancers, blaspheming the realm of the dead and the soul...

...

...

After making a special journey, Mr. Conner returned to his temporary residence after confirming that he had not attracted anyone's attention.

He placed the bag containing food and drinking water behind the house and did not bring it into the catacomb. The air underground was not too circulating and the sun was a little damp. Taking the food down to its shelf life would be greatly reduced.

Pushing down the wooden door and walking down the underground passage, the man soon arrived at the catacomb. Now it has changed a lot. Not only is the space more spacious, but there is a torch on the surrounding walls every once in a distance.

But what emits is not the normal warm fire, but the blue ghost fire. Although it illuminates a certain range of areas, you will not feel any temperature even when you get close.

——Or it should be said that on the contrary, these ghost fire-like flames will not only not emit heat, but will also absorb heat within the bright range.

After entering the fire range, ordinary people will quickly feel that the temperature of the air around them drops sharply, and even their body temperature and heat will drop rapidly, as if their anger is being sucked away.

This ghost torch is one of the results of Mr. Connor's research and study in the past half month, but it is not a shocking and inspiring ghosts and gods. It is an invention that has never been seen before and has never come. It can only be said to be on the surface.

The field of necromancer is profound and profound. The use and control of corpses are only at the initial stage. The real development direction of this branch of mystery is actually closely linked to soul science, and it explores the mystery of the soul field.

If you refine it a little more, it is related to the various existence elements that make up "life", including spirit, consciousness, cognition, thinking, etc.

Necromancer is not simply controlling inanimate objects as puppets, but is studying the mystery of the integration of spirit and flesh, exploring the depth of the soul field, and studying how to maintain subtle stability and balance from the duality between life and death.

Although it is different from what ordinary people imagine, this is the fact that the necromancer not only masters death, but also studies the essence of life.

At first, Mr. Conner simply felt that necromancer must be an evil force, and that it was the direction of development of the dark magic of death and corruption. However, the more he studied, the more he felt that the knowledge was profound and vast.

A true necromancer is a group of people who truly understand the balance of all things, understand and accept them, and exist as a natural way of reincarnation.

He pulled a torch, and then accompanied by the dull rock movement and the sound of friction, a brand new tunnel appeared in the corner of the wall of the tomb chamber, which looked like a step, leading to the lower level, and the light of the dark blue ghost torch shone out.

This is the secret base that Mr. Connor has torn during this period. In addition to using the magic power he accumulated during this period, in addition to activate the bloodline of the semi-demon and strengthening his own magical talent and magic limit, most of it is used in the "disintegration technique" and "petification technique".

These are two low-level spells that he has learned thoroughly in the early stage of memory practice.

It sounds powerful, but it is not.

For example, the disintegration technique can't deal with targets with magical attributes at all, so don't expect that the disintegration technique will be divided into pieces when it hits. In fact, people or objects with a little bit of magic can offset the effect of this spell.

However, when used as a material for ordinary material, the effect is quite good.

Therefore, the disintegration technique is also called fossils into mud, and petrochemical technique is also called fossils into stone. The two spells do not consume much magic, but the alternating use can allow a magician to easily transform the terrain on a large scale and build a huge underground facility space.

Those world-famous underground tombs were made by manpower. In ancient times, hundreds of thousands of people were often recruited and built continuously for at least 10 or 20 years to succeed. Even in modern times, the manpower and material resources required to reproduce such a huge project will not be less.

But if he had an experienced magician, he would have enough magic power supply and he would have been able to complete the workload alone for a few months.

After all, whether it is to dig a mountain or dig a hole, it is not something that can be started casually. It detects and understands the hydrological geology, collects sufficient data, and after precise calculations, various safety work must be done to avoid collapse, casualties, and the more you dig, the more you collapse.

However, magic is unreasonable. One hand disintegration technique dissolves soil and rock formations, the other hand petrochemical technique strengthens soil and strengthens rock strength...

As long as you have a clear idea, not a very stupid person, and make particularly serious mistakes, then that's fine.

The magic of these two spells alone made Mr. Connor sigh. He also relied on these two spells to dig downwards. Although he was preparing to build a huge underground palace, the expanded area was more than a hundred times larger than the previous tomb chamber.

He placed his study, research, experiments and preservation places for his achievements deeper into the ground to ensure safety-

After walking below, there was a huge and spacious rotunda. Under the dim blue firelight, pale "people" stood in rows with expressionless faces, as if they were sculptures.

They are all corpses, living "corpses".

There were 135 corpses in total, most of which were obtained by Mr. Conner from secretly digging the graveyard from the white orchard cemetery, and a small part of which he had fished from other places, for example, from the river.

It is really difficult to transport the body back from a distance and not be seen, but after waking up the first living zombie, it is not a difficult task.

——Even the lowest level of the undead, at the same level as the skeleton warriors, the power of the living zombies is far greater than that of ordinary people, and they are tireless.

Now, Mr. Conner has begun to try to create advanced undead like ghosts and soul-returning corpses. As for the more advanced banshee, the hatred and even the death knight, it is still a bit too far away for him.

Moreover, the resources on hand are not satisfied with the creation of intermediate or even high-level undead for the time being, which is not very realistic.

Of course, he believed that he was approaching that goal, or it should be said that every time he awakened and controlled a dead soul, his power and capital in this world would increase, and he firmly believed that he was constantly becoming stronger in this way.

As an outsider, he could not win the trust of the Niphgad Empire, nor would he have received the help of Temolia.

Therefore, we can only accumulate capital in this way.

After all, Mr. Connor was an officer after all. In his concept, the idea of ​​commanding the power of a large-scale army was completely ingrained, and the only resource that could be seen everywhere in this world was all kinds of corpses.

It just so happened that the compressed bag in his mind contained a lot of secret knowledge about the Necrotic School, and war and death hit it off.
