If it was a past life, Mark's first reaction when he heard that someone was working on transforming living people into zombies must have panicked. But when he came to this world, Mark heard this kind of news and expressed his interest for the first time.

"I've been researching for more than 20 years, and I'm just one last step away!" Grom's eyes lit with emerald flames.

"Twenty years, Grom, your perseverance is really strong." Mark exclaimed.

Grom smiled and said, "Mark, you just became a magician and haven't started your own research yet, so you don't know about it, for us magicians, especially necromancers, it's normal for a study to last for decades. Those high-level magicians, their research may take hundreds of years! ”

Mark nodded, Grom was more experienced than him in these areas. However, the mage's research is cruel enough, and Grom, for example, studies the transformation of living people into zombies, and the test subjects he uses must be living people. Twenty years of research, the living people who died at his hands, is definitely a huge number!

"Grom, if your experiment is successful, what is the strength of the transformed zombie?" Mark didn't care about the dead and the living.

"According to my experience, there should be the strength of a second-level warrior." Grom said.

"Tier 2 warrior, that's pretty remarkable, too. If an ordinary person wants to become a second-level warrior, he has to go through more than ten years of cultivation and spend a lot of resources. Mark said, "Zombies are known for their defensive power, can the zombies you transform withstand the fighting spirit of second-level warriors?" ”

Grom smug: "Of course! If it weren't for the lack of vindictiveness, these zombies should have the strength of a third-level warrior! ”

"Awesome, really awesome, Grom, if your experiment is successful, you will have the equivalent of having an army of second-class warriors. As long as there are enough zombies, even a level 4 magician will avoid three points for you! Mark was half-sincere, half-false flattery.

"It's a little early to say success." Grom waved his hand, but he was very happy to be complimented by Mark like this.

Mark was watching Grom's expression change, and he didn't fully believe Grom.

"At the moment, Grom's character seems to be very honest. But he couldn't hide it from me! A murderous necromancer, if he has a good personality, it is a big joke! ”

Mark has long known the cruelty of this world, this world does not talk about laws, nor morality, but only about strength. Grom is a second-level necromancer, much stronger than Mark, such a person deliberately befriended him, he must have a special purpose!

"It should be true that Grom said he was interested in scientific research methods. However, he said that the experiment of transforming zombies is true or not, and it is difficult to say. This kind of thing is done by necromancers, but whether it can succeed is unknown. And, even if it succeeds, I'm not sure what the strength of the transformed zombie is. ”

Grom is interested in Mark's scientific research methods, and Mark is also interested in the other party's research on transforming zombies. According to Mark's understanding, zombies are undead creatures that are more powerful than both skeleton warriors and skeleton knights, and the lowest level 4 warriors are at the bottom. If there really is a group of such subordinates, then Mark can also go sideways in the Roman Empire!

"Grom, what you said before, the method of sensing the world of death, I still have a few questions that I don't understand......"

Mark put down the topic of zombies, and Grom tacitly stopped mentioning it, and the two talked about necromancy again.

It took three days of hard work for the army that had set off from Yonghui City to arrive at the predetermined position, Dilong Valley!

Dilong Valley is located about one hundred and fifty miles northeast of Honglin Town, and is only more than four hundred miles away from Yonghui City. In order to stop the Gutis from marching on the city of Yonghui, Lorot chose this place as a battlefield.

"Grom, it doesn't seem like this Dragon Valley was formed naturally." In the valley, Mark carefully observed the terrain of the Earth Dragon Valley and found that many places were very special. The valley is lined with blackened rocks, some of which have been glazed and glow in the light of the fire.

"This place is called Dilong Valley, of course it is not naturally formed." Grom Road.

"Could it be that this is caused by an earth dragon?" Mark exclaimed.

"Not bad! More than ten years ago, an earth dragon appeared in the Red Earth Ridge, although the earth dragon is not a real dragon bloodline, but it is also a high-level magical beast. At that time, the earth dragon was already an adult, with the strength of an eighth-level demonic beast, and its size alone was more than forty meters long! Grom sighed.

"Eighth-level Demonic Beast, more than forty meters long......" Mark looked at the swarthy valley and the uneven ground in the valley, imagining the demeanor of the powerful earth dragon.

"The Earth Dragon broke into the Red Clay Ridge and immediately attracted the attention of the Romance Empire. Earth dragon, the whole body is a treasure! At that time, the Roman Empire dispatched three main legions, and under the leadership of the god of war, more than 30,000 elite warriors fought a shocking battle with the Earth Dragons here......"

"And the result?" Mark asked busily.

"The result, of course, is that the earth dragon is dead. After all, no matter how strong the earth dragon is, it is only one. Grom said.

Mark smacked his lips and said, "This valley must have been caused by that great battle." This valley is several times larger than Yonghui City, and the eighth-level demonic beast really has the power to destroy the world. ”

"Yes, but the Roman Empire killed this earth dragon, and its own losses are not small." There was a bit of schadenfreude in Grom's words.

"Oh?"

"The Protector God of War of the Roman Empire did not appear again after that war, and it is said that the Protector God of War is recuperating from his injuries, but I know that he is actually dead!" Grom whispered.

"Dead?" Mark was shocked, this was the first time he had heard of this news.

"Grom is so sure, what is his identity?" Mark was shocked in his heart, he was a descendant of the Xiwen family, and he had lived in the imperial capital of Roland City for more than ten years, he didn't know the news, and Grom would know!

Grom didn't care about Mark's suspicions, he continued: "Yes, the Protector God of War of the Roman Empire is an eighth-level warrior, and he is also the strongest warrior in the Roman Continent. With him, the Roman Empire's rule over the Roman Continent is solid. In his absence, some people started to think about it, including the Xiwen family. ”

As he spoke, Grom gave Mark a meaningful look.

Mark looked stunned and said in a deep voice, "Grom, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Hehe, Mark, don't be nervous, in fact, what I'm saying is an open secret." Grom said, "In fact, who of the seven major duke families of the Roman Empire does not have a heart? It's just that because there are eighth-level warriors in the Roman Empire, they don't dare. Don't look at the eighth-level warrior is only one level higher than the seventh-level warrior, in fact, there is a world difference in the strength of the two! ”

Mark also knows that in this world, first-level fighters belong to beginners, second-level to fourth-level fighters belong to beginners, fifth-level to seventh-level warriors belong to intermediate fighters, and eighth-level to tenth-level warriors belong to advanced fighters. Starting with the eighth-level warrior, each level has a specific name. The eighth-level warrior is called the Sky Warrior, the ninth-level warrior is called the Legendary Warrior, and the tenth-level warrior is called the Sanctuary Warrior.

Level 8 warriors are called Sky Warriors because they are able to fly!

"If what Grom said is true, then the disappearance of my body's father, Mondel, and Horner's superiority, should also have something to do with it."

Mark's reaction was quick, he followed Grom's train of thought, and immediately figured out many things.

"Mondell is a seventh-level peak warrior, and when the Protector God of War is here, he may not dare to break through, because the Roman Empire will not allow another Sky Warrior to appear. After the death of the Protector God of War, Mendel will definitely find a way to break through, and the royal family of the Roman Empire must know this. If Mendel succeeds, then the Romans will probably change to the Western Empire! ”

Grom looked at Mark's face and said with a smile: "It seems that you have already thought of something, the Roman Empire has set up a bureau for Duke Xiwen, of course, with them alone, this bureau is definitely not perfect, but, with the cooperation of Horner, it will be different." Eventually, Duke Siwen disappeared and Horner became the new patriarch of the Siwen family. ”

Mark looked at Grom coldly, and he said word by word: "Grom, who are you?" ”

Grom didn't care about Mark's gaze, his eyes were hollow and fire was dancing in his sockets.

"I'm just a necromancer."

The atmosphere between the two became awkward.

After a while, Mark suddenly smiled: "Grom, these speculations of yours are very interesting, but I still have to verify the facts." Still, thank you for telling me this. ”

Gromch said: "After listening to this, you don't hate the Romance?" Originally, you were supposed to enjoy a luxurious life in Roland City, but they kicked you to the barren Red Clay Ridge and let you participate in a brutal war, they are your enemies, right? ”

Mark didn't care: "I don't have the energy to hate the Romance Empire now, what I want to do is to survive the war in front of me." I also wanted to explore the true meaning of magic, especially necromancy. I'll talk about the rest later. ”

Grom gave Mark a deep look and nodded, "Yes, for us magicians, the study of magic is the most important thing. Mark, I'm going to tell me about scientific research methods......"

Mark and Grom talked about parting late in the evening, and when they returned to their tent, Mark's face instantly turned gloomy.

"Who the hell is Grom?" Mark had a big question in his heart, before, he thought that the other party was a magician, but now it seems that his identity is definitely not simple.

"No matter what your idea is, if you want to calculate me, then come!" Mark clenched his fists.
