Mu Yan guessed correctly, the snooping that he noticed near the plantation some time ago was from Mr. John DiPert, although this person was now squeezed like a canned herring, at best, he was only at the level of a fifth-level demonic beast, but he did have a very special perception skill.

Mu Yan had experienced something similar in Fellor, as well as that Mr. Bednar, but it was different.

John's flesh and blood clotted heart has two, a mother and a son, and the two hearts are connected, like a remote monitoring device, so he can monitor the surroundings of the plantation by staying at Sweetheart Manor and not be detected. And he had witnessed Mu Yan's entire "second-hand smoke" plan from the beginning, and he could have avoided the explosion completely, but he didn't do it.

The sub-heart sucked Erin and Farael in together, sent them to Sweetheart's Manor through the teleportation array before the explosion, and then naturally self-destructed, blowing up a large crater, incidentally destroying the teleportation array hidden under the dirt, thus completely severing his connection with the plantation, and at the same time creating the illusion of Chablis returning to normal, allowing the lost population to return, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

It should have been a perfect end to this point, but people are always greedy. As a former genius mage of Morningstar, John developed a strong interest in Mu Yan, so there was this celebration banquet.

In addition to this, the purpose of the banquet was twofold, one of which was to respond to the plea of the Duke. The Grand Duke gave a large part of his property to his vassals, and although he avoided being unprovoked harassment by Charles III at the source, he gradually became a tiger - he could not recover it back, and even spent a lot of energy every year to appease them...... So he planned to use this method to catch them all and recover all his property. The second was to provide enough negative emotions for John's experiment, and John promised to give him a longer life after becoming a mage.

And the so-called strange thing in Chablis has never been a plague curse, it is these two who have done it. The beginning of all this was also Mora's coveting of John's talent.

In the year 773 of the Faith Era, John Dipert, who escaped from Mora, was unfortunately reduced to a wisp of geism, but because of Mora's carelessness in the necromantic experiment, the two shared memories for a moment.

As a result, John Dipert, who survived, always kept one thing in mind: there was a necromancer relic somewhere in Chablis Territory, involved in the 'Chimera Project'.

For a dying man, this is undoubtedly his last place of salvation, so he floated all the way to the ruins.

The ruins happen to be at Sweetheart Manor, where it is now. However, it was well camouflaged, and even though the manor changed hands several times during the Age of Faith, so many people came and went, and walked and came, but no one ever noticed it. Or, the people who found it are dead. These mortal nobles, who could not perceive their true power, became the best shelter for the ruins, protecting the place.

It was for this reason that Mr. Zha didn't dare to act rashly back then, he couldn't make a move against the famous nobles of Morning Star, which was equivalent to declaring war on Morning Star with his own strength.

It is also in response to the saying that there must be a blessing after the catastrophe does not die, although the ghost John, who was robbed of his body, is not like a human ghost or a ghost, but he is just between the dead and the living, and easily passes through the defense line of the manor. And the traps and protections left by the necromancer were only for the living, and they couldn't be effective against him, so John swaggered in and successfully obtained the legacy left by the necromancer.

John was stupid, but his foundation as a genius mage was still there, and with a strong desire to survive as a support, he read through the Codex for the few days he had left. Despite the obscurity of the manuscript, the part he cracked with his ability was enough to save his life - the monstrous body in front of him, which was also the mage's creation.

This strange body seemed to be fused with flesh and blood and the negative emotions of countless people, as if every day, thousands of faces in madness and confusion were squeezing, entangled, and devouring each other, trying to destroy each other, just like raising Gu. As an aggressor with sobriety, John easily eliminated these consciousnesses and took ownership of his body. Since then, he has also said goodbye to the fear of his life, and at the same time has gained this strange perception ability.

But John is not satisfied with just surviving, he understands that this is just a steal, and he desperately wants to get revenge on Mora, take back his body, and become a real man, not a monster. But at the moment, his little strength against Mora was undoubtedly self-defeating, so he simply hid in the manor and silently accumulated strength, and continued to study the obscure codex, which happened to record the knowledge of fusion, regeneration, and even the creation of a new "living form", which he needed most.

The turning point came at a party a year ago.

As we mentioned earlier, Count Sweetheart's fortune came from a gift from the Duke as an expedient measure to avoid disaster. However, people can change, and after a long time, Earl Sweetheart sprouted greed, unwilling to be just a "superficial owner", wanting to take the plantation and winery as his own, and threatened to write to Charles III about this and ask him to punish the duke.

In the face of the threat, the Grand Duke panicked, and the two argued in the study, and finally got into a big fight.

Two elderly people pushing and shoving in the study will inevitably not end well. Accidentally, Earl Sweetheart didn't mention it in one breath, but rolled his eyes and died......

This is a big trouble, even if the earl is a vassal of the Grand Duke, according to the imperial law, killing a nobleman is also a capital crime, not to mention that the duke is still doing it in the manor of the Earl of Sweetheart, this is door-to-door murder......

Just when the Grand Duke was at a loss, John Dipert saw the opportunity and made a decisive move.

After all, John is a person who has died once, and because he has been assimilated by this body, his personality has become treacherous and cunning, and he is more and more adept at demagoguery. Seeing through the Duke's weakness at a glance, he gently reassured, seduced, and deceived him, promising to help him out of his predicament, and to reclaim the wealth scattered in Chablis, while giving him more life in the future.

The two conspired all night, and when it was about to dawn, they finally reached a consensus and colluded together, and from then on the Duke had an additional staff member by his side.

Then there was the strange incident of Chablis Domain, starting with Earl Sweetheart, people disappeared one after another, as a top student of Morrowind Academy, John knew that the Church of the Word had no influence, and the real problem was the Elemental Tower, so even the priest sent by the Church of the Word was not spared.

John obtained the method of making the heart from the Codex, set a trap on the plantation, and collected the materials he needed—flesh, soul, and negative energy. The despair, pain, and struggle of those people before they died, the unwillingness and fear of being betrayed by their peers, and so on.

At first, they also need to prepare poison and ambush soldiers to deal with the adventurers, but later, after the heart works on its own, the plantation produces a fog, and at this time they no longer need to do anything, and the last group of dead adventurers alone is enough to deal with the latecomers, and so on, and gradually forms a virtuous circle.

As for the Rorschach group, it can only be said that their appearance is just right.

As soon as the matter came to an end, John was waiting for the existence of the two extremes of good and evil as the core of the experiment, and Farol and Erin happened to collide. Second, Chablis is the duke's territory after all, and he can't afford to toss for a long time, and he also needs a suitable reason for promising the other party's "catch it all", so after capturing Farol and Erin, they took advantage of the situation to destroy their hearts, and set out to hold this celebration banquet, waiting for an opportunity to attack Mu Yan.

In fact, John doesn't know how to seize Mu Yan's talent for the time being, but he plans to keep Mu Yan in captivity as a precious material, and wait until the day when he really masters the method before doing it, which is why he values Mu Yan very much.

Hearing this, Mu Yan probably understood, he looked at John, who was squeezed into cans, and asked, "What about the codex and notes left by the mage?" ”

"I know me!" Without waiting for him to answer, the Duke preemptively said, "I can lead the way for you!" ”

"Uh, well, thank you."

"It's my pleasure!" The Duke immediately panicked.

Watching the two walk away, only John's inhuman roar was left in the basement.

"No—"
