Although it is said that there are 135 living corpses, there are only 80 corpses here for the time being.

For there were twenty living corpses for Mr. Connor to arrange in the cemetery above ground, they were evenly distributed around the room, and a mound was found as a hiding place.

The two nearest bodies were even in the mounds on either side of the doorway to the house, and the furthest was at the very end of the main road leading to the cemetery, hidden in the ground among the trees on either side, about a mile away from the lonely house of the cemetery.

They mainly play the role of defense and vigilance respectively -

It can prevent wild dogs or corpse-eating creatures from breaking into the cemetery of Baiguoyuan Village and tearing them apart if necessary. It can also allow Mr. Connor to grasp the information on the ground without leaving home when he is studying and doing experiments in the base deep underground.

At the very least, make sure that the area around the cemetery in Baiguoyuan Village is under his control, so as not to be surrounded by the army and people without knowing what is going on.

Thirty-five other living corpses were sent out to work for Mr. Connor and earn money for his daily needs...... It sounds absurd, but the reality is so magical.

And because they had no real self-awareness or intelligence, Mr. Connor managed to put them in some drudgery positions, and made excuses to do so.

For example, "can't speak", "my tongue was cut", "the death of the whole family caused a major blow", ...... And so on and so forth, and also using enchanting spells to impress the people involved who might be dealing with living corpses, so that they are convinced, and minimize the risk of exposure as much as possible.

To be honest, it shouldn't be too easy to expose.

Because of the special treatment, the living corpse does not have any other obvious characteristics of the deceased except that its face is paler and the body temperature is too cold.

Moreover, Mr. Connor also tried to pick out the corpses that had no obvious injuries, or were not particularly conspicuous, after all, if half of the head was missing, or the neck had been cut open...... It is impossible for such a corpse to be hidden, unless everyone is blind.

It is precisely by relying on more than 30 living corpses to work hard every day, but he does not eat or drink, almost a million profits, that Mr. Connor can ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing, and at the same time, he is slowly accumulating more funds.

Another reason is that those living corpses are not only working outside to make money, but also doing some convenient and stealing jobs.

Collecting herbs while passing through certain places is only a basic operation, and they even take advantage of their work to steal corpses.

For example, there are some living corpses that have been arranged to help the army do some work such as disposing of corpses, and of course it is impossible to make money purely for work.

- And because Mr. Connor needs more corpses.

Although he knew that the true meaning of a necromancer was to master the delicate balance between life and death, he was far from the stage of pursuing the true meaning, and he only hoped that the more necromantic legions under his command were, the better, and the bigger the better.

And since it is a necromantic legion, it is naturally based on the dead, and of course the more corpses, the better.

But Mr. Connor wasn't so mad as to kill the living in order to gain the resources of corpses, otherwise he would have been preparing to bloody the White Orchard by now.

There was no doubt that he could do it, he had already controlled more than one hundred and thirty living corpses, and the combined strength of Mr. Connor's troops was close to half of the local garrison in White Orchard, and the living corpses were much stronger than normal even as the lowest undead units.

The strength of human muscles during life will remain after death, although unlike a living body, adrenaline will certainly not have any effect on the deceased, so the living corpse will not have any explosive power to speak of.

What is really terrifying about them is their seemingly never-ending staying power......

Think about it, how terrifying is a monster that can maintain the strength of a normal human and sustain its actions with the same amount of power? As long as humans don't kill them, they will definitely kill the former.

Because humans will quickly run out of energy and exhaust in the midst of high-intensity combat, and they will not.

Well, it's not that they won't, after all, they are not perpetual motion machines either, and they have physiological limits. When the amount of exercise reaches a certain level, you need to stop and let the magic repair the wear and tear of the body. Otherwise, there is also a possibility of muscle collapse.

But at least understand that ordinary human soldiers can't consume them.

In addition, they are already undead, they are not afraid of pain or death, and it is likely that when someone else pierces their hearts, they are rejoicing that they have won the battle, only to be cut off by them in turn the next moment.

With all these characteristics and advantages combined, Mr. Connor, who had an undead army of more than a hundred living corpses, felt that if he suddenly attacked, the Nilfgaard garrison in the White Orchard area could not be his opponent at all.

But in the end, he still didn't do it, after all, first, because he couldn't pass the level of his own humanity, and secondly, because he felt that he was still too weak now.

More than a hundred living corpses are nothing, and his goal is not to occupy a white orchard and then appoint himself a village chief. As it is now, the more time drags on, and the longer the war continues, the more favorable the situation will be for him.

For the longer the Nelphgaard and the Temerians fought and the more people died, the more the overall power was weakened, both sides.

But he is different, strictly speaking, the more dead people he has, the more "resources" he has, and it is completely possible to pull out an invincible army of the dead in the end.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to expose it now, to survive as much as possible, and to accumulate more capital by lewd development, because time is on Mr. Connor's side.

- He was convinced of that last point.

……

……

In the bright alchemy laboratory, standing in front of the alchemy table, he drank the configured clarity potion, and the man instantly felt that the sleepiness that had just emerged was suppressed, and there was no trace left.

However, I don't sleep much for half a month, and the feeling of forcing myself to stay awake is really good, and for people whose willpower is not strong enough, this is an unspeakable torture and torment.

Just like the "eye" of the gods of a certain world and the current sage of the earth, Mr. Connor also discovered his biggest problem in the early stage, and naturally chose the same solution.

Although this may seem like a fatal weakness, if used well, it is also a plug-in similar to a "learning device".

Moreover, Mr. Connor also has a unique advantage, he is not in an ordinary demonless world, so that even the early stage of accumulating magic power requires painstaking efforts, and refining the clarity potion requires using his own blood instead of magical substances for alchemy......

However, there are pros and cons, and it is unlikely that he will start in such a mysterious world where magic is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is unlikely that he will be like Mr. Smith, relying on the advantage that I am the only one in the world who has extraordinary knowledge, promising all kinds of interests to attract people into the gang, and tying all kinds of magnates and royal families to his chariot.

"Let's try to make a rejuvenated corpse today...... And during this time, a lot of mutilated corpses have also accumulated. ”

Talking to himself, the man decided on his plan for today, then turned around and left the alchemy laboratory, walking towards the Hall of the Dead.

"Picking out the soldiers' to make skeleton warriors can inherit a certain degree of combat literacy, and the rest may be able to create abomination."

The habit of talking to oneself was something that Mr. Connor had only recently developed, for it was not a pleasant task to be alone, and to repeat the extremely boring and unchanging process every day.

This is also the reason why he wants to toss out the soul returning corpse as soon as possible.

Because compared to low-level living corpses who only know how to accept and execute simple instructions and have no ability to think for themselves, advanced reincarnated corpses are undoubtedly mid-level undead, and they are a very important branch of all undead units.

This undead spirit is not only able to move, but also to eat, to follow the instructions of the person who speaks to him, and even to converse, and has begun to have a certain degree of autonomy and the ability to think.

Although they tend to be less intelligent, no one can deny that this is a crucial turning point – and that their intelligence will grow even better over time.

In the end, they can behave almost like a normal living person, without much difference.

In addition, if you want to cultivate mid-to-high-level high-intelligence undead such as banshees and death knights, then the soul corpse is definitely a key to technology that cannot be bypassed. Just like the skills in the game, if you don't point out the pre-skills first, the subsequent branches and advanced routes will always be gray, and they won't light up at all.

The Hall of the Dead is the place where Mr. Connor used to store his corpses, and it can be understood as a morgue. The corpses in the vicinity of the white orchard have been basically placed here.

Less than a third of the bodies were intact, and most were mutilated. However, mutilated corpses can also be used, such as Abomination, which is a mid-tier undead unit that is characterized by the fact that it is a large stitch monster made up of many fragmented corpses.

This is probably the most cost-effective mid-level undead unit, the difficulty of manufacturing is extremely low, lower than that of low-level undead, but the power is extremely high, because there is no need for technology at all, the only problem is that it requires a large number of fragmented limbs...... Then there's nausea.

However, starting from scratch in the early stage, even transforming a lowest-level living corpse, now Mr. Connor needs to do it himself, so what is not disgusting? He could only grit his teeth and endure it, reassuring himself that this situation would not last forever.

In addition, the psychological pressure caused by the desecration of the deceased's body also caused him a considerable degree of mental pain, as well as self-doubt and self-denial.

He could only tell himself over and over again that everything was the fault of the war, and that he himself did not take the initiative to kill any living people, but only used their dead bodies...... And even if he didn't use it, their corpses would only be able to stink and rot in the wild—

It's still the best, being dragged away by a corpse eater or turned into a wraith is the worst outcome.
