‘Soul Captor’ Mondino is a famous necromancer in the North. He has not caused any untold human tragedies, nor has he caused any earth-shattering world-destroying disasters. Instead, he has harvested many souls in the past few decades.
If Mondino had only harvested the souls of ordinary pariahs, no matter how big the trouble he caused, he would not be as famous as he is now. But he did not touch the low-level pariahs at all, and his targets were adventurers with high abilities.
, even the powerful and powerful.
Rumor has it that this 'Soul Capturer' uses a cursed coin to acquire souls every time he makes a move. Those whose souls he acquires cannot escape his clutches, and eventually end up in a miserable state.
"Those rumors are not worth refuting at all. Just think about how many people have been willing to do business with me for so many years, and you know that my credibility is still intact.
There are many people who use their souls as collateral to rent my ability to complete tasks that are usually impossible to complete. Most of them use their opponents' souls to pay for their success after winning. Although some people fail, that has nothing to do with me.
.
In fact, I have a lot of customers, and many times they need to make an appointment or even bid."
The Necromancer's explanation was impeccable, and his ability to 'recognize lies' did not detect that he was lying. Zhou Qingfeng accepted his soul-stirring coin and decided to give it a try when he had time.
Mondino also hopes to live in Harmony Village for a while. After all, there are many adventurers gathered here. These people are eager to make a fortune and are the best potential customers. Someone must be interested in renting the Necromancer's ability.
It's just that the soul quality of most adventurers is too average, and Mondino doesn't like it. But Zhou Qingfeng, as a fellow person, makes him more concerned - how did this young man obtain a high-quality soul?
In Mondino's conjecture, Zhou Qingfeng's construction of Harmony Village and attracting a large number of adventurers to gather here should be a conspiracy, probably for the purpose of harvesting souls. But the things in the village made him unable to understand, because the young man did not seem to be engaged in a
Hammer sale.
There was another group of people who couldn't understand Zhou Qingfeng. This was a huge team marching in the cold wind. They had entered the black forest.
Cronfield. Long Legs, the Lord of Coldwind City. The grandson of the legendary hero of the North, Long Legs Leven. Because his grandfather’s nickname was too loud, he changed his family’s surname.
Five days after Fabbro left Harmony Village, the Lord of the City stood in front of the ruins of the mortar village that was burned to a white ground. Behind him were the City Lord's guards of more than fifty soldiers, more than two hundred armed attendants, and more than three hundred soldiers.
Follow the army and civilian husband.
Drawing on the lessons learned from Fabbro's disastrous defeat last time, the Lord of the City not only brought a large number of men and horses, but also transported more than a hundred carriages of supplies in one go. He will rebuild the Stucco Village and use it as a base to explore the Black Forest.
The ruins of Silverleaf City.
In front of the Stucco Village, the cold wind blew like a wash, blowing the ground to a smooth surface without any dust. Hundreds of people were silent, silently looking at the ruins of broken walls defiled by blood sacrifices.
Occasionally, there are black ghosts moving among the rubble and charred wood. They condense into faceless human shapes, trying to tell the living of their past despair and misery. But no one sympathizes with their plight, and they only arouse disgust and hatred.
hatred.
Several clergy lined up, shouting the honorific title of Kelanvor, the Lord of the Underworld, and sent the souls who were unwilling to leave to their final resting place.
But most of the dead in the village are unbelievers and poor people who are not accepted by any gods. They have nowhere to go back and will be forcibly sent to the Wall of the Unbelievers, where they will be blown by the soul-destroying cold wind in the underworld and suffer in pain until they dissipate.

"Your Excellency City Lord, based on the results of my many years of research, the exact location of the ruins of Silver Leaf City is now very clear. However, it is still very difficult to explore this huge underground city. I am afraid it will take years or even decades."
As a pioneer who had been here before, Fabro took out the information paper he bought in Harmony Village for fifty gold coins and copied it again, which became his "result of many years of research."
Columbine Long Legs had already seen this 'result', and he was very excited with joy, and directly rewarded Fabbro with one thousand gold coins.
In the team, Tambos, who has become an official wizard, can only watch secretly. After he returned to Cold Wind City, the Magic Society confirmed his achievements. He was silently complaining now - Damn Fabro, sooner or later
You have to pay the price for taking credit indiscriminately.
Fabbro said that it would take several years or even decades to excavate Silver Leaf City. The long-legged city lord only shook his head slightly. He looked into the depths of the black forest with a gloomy face and whispered: "The battle for kingship in the North is about to begin.
To get started, we don't have that much time to waste."
The battle for royal power is a heavy word and a terrible word. It means that the order is broken, the desire for power will lose people's hearts, and countless lives will die as a result.
Fabbro didn't even dare to talk about it. Even if he was the 'chief alchemist' in the city, he could only bow his head and refuse to comment.
The city lord was minding his own business and said: "Hanfeng City does not want to get involved in the war, but we have no choice. What we can do now is to raise as much military expenditure as possible so that we can recruit more mercenaries to fight for me in the future.
Originally I had no hope for this, but the appearance of the elven ruins made me excited. The notes left by my grandfather described in detail this city hidden in the forest and the incredible civilization of the elves.
The elves moved as much of their property as possible when they evacuated, but it was impossible for them to move the city. As long as I can dig out this ruins, I will have countless gold coins. I may even...
, possessing royal power.”
Talking about the elven ruins in the Black Forest, and by extension the impending kingship of the North, the members of the guard behind the City Lord became excited. Only Fabbro whispered again, "Your Excellency, City Lord, but in this Black Forest
There is another force..."
"What kind of village are you worried about that untouchable built?" Cronfield Longlegs laughed loudly, "They are just a bunch of country bumpkins, savages who were almost killed by goblins. I don't understand why you are so afraid of them?"
Fabbro said seriously: "Your Excellency, City Lord, I have no doubt about your bravery. But that evil village has silently gathered a lot of forces. We cannot allow it to continue to develop."
The Lord of Long-Legged City also darkened his face, but then shook his head and said: "I heard that Dark Sun has a new chosen one and has placed the church in that village. I'm not actually worried about that village, but I have to worry about the God of Murder.
power."
The so-called "name of a person, shadow of a tree", Cyric has fallen crazy, but as long as it is not completely dead, no one dares to despise it. Just like the god of war can be resurrected at any time, the god of murder may be
One day I will return to the Kingdom of God.
It's easy to provoke anyone, but don't provoke a lunatic who may go crazy at any time.
"I remember you said that the leader of that village is named Victor Hugo. I will send someone to persuade him. I can recognize his power, as long as he doesn't come to make trouble with me. The elf ruins are huge, and I
He can be allowed to enjoy some scraps."
The long-legged city lord snorted and sneered, but his eyes were still focused on the plaster village that was about to be rebuilt. Victor Hugo, who he didn't care about, was not having a good time now. He was being beaten violently in a fight with the halfling Kelly.
, being beaten and screaming at the same time.
"Stop, stop, stop, I promised not to slap you in the face."
"You are not allowed to lift your vaginal legs. Oops, I almost got kicked by you."
"Okay, okay, today's practice is over. I'm afraid of you, but you are the queen today."
Zhou Qingfeng limped out of the training ground with a bruised nose and swollen face.
The 'Shiying' in the audience was howling miserably, "Master, please be more serious, okay? Beat that little dwarf hard. If it doesn't work, I will join you. Look at you, you have lost three games in a row. I am beaten by you."
I lost all my pants."
"Damn horse, shut up. What kind of underwear do you have? Aren't you running around naked all the time?" Zhou Qingfeng won't lose the battle, and his momentum is pretty good. If the halfling girl not far away wasn't so arrogant
It would be better to call him a coward.
Inisa applied the anti-swollen ointment to Zhou Qingfeng, and while applying it, she sighed: "Oh..., some men are just unreliable. They say they are great, but in fact they are not even a little girl."
Can't beat them."
"Little girl?" Zhou Qingfeng pointed unconvinced at the halfling girl who was laughing and taking the bet, "She is much older than me. She is still a chosen one, the chosen one of the God of Murder. You don't even know her fists
How hard it is.
You are all trying to trick me, why did you recommend her to practice fighting with me? You also said that little girls are easier to deal with. I really shouldn't believe your lies."
Zhou Qingfeng's distress made Cyric laugh out loud for a long time, and at the same time he gave an oracle to his chosen girl...
"Yes, yes, this is how you beat this kid. Keep beating me, beat him hard, until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen. You must not let him go. I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and you must take it out on me!"
