There was no one coming or going to the Baiguoyuan Hotel, but it seemed a little deserted.

However, Connor did not doubt what Bram said before. He believed that it was probably because the witch hunter named Geralt had a fight here and even beat up many fault seekers.

——Most people don’t want to cause trouble, so they naturally choose to avoid trouble.

After all, even on the 21st century earth, people will instinctively choose to avoid places where dangers may occur, let alone in this ignorant and backward world similar to the medieval era.

Considering Bram's statement that he had heard before, it seems that the witch hunter is generally treated by many people as monsters, aliens, and inhuman killers, so it is normal for people to avoid it... What's more, it's still in the war period now.

Thinking of this, Connor couldn't help but look at the old witch hunter Visemille who was drinking beer on his own - the young witch hunter named Geralt seemed to have gone out to collect clues.

Then he found that on both sides of the hotel lobby divided by counters, there was indeed only one side where the old witch hunter was on was not others. And there were two tables on the other side, and there were a lonely drinker sitting respectively.

A villager who looked like an ordinary villager was drunk and muttered something in a vague way while holding the wine bottle.

The other person was wearing relatively bright clothes, which looked very decent and out of place with the villagers of the white orchard.

Connor looked at the two of them, then chose a table to sit down on his own. Although he wanted to sit with the old witch hunter and set up some valuable information, it seemed a bit deliberate, so he still didn't take the initiative to get closer.

After sitting down, he continued to flip through the catalog of various "books" in his mind, thinking about what kind of related knowledge areas it would be better to start learning, while waiting for the boss's wife to deliver food and drinking water.

He knew he needed to seize the time, but he understood even more that he could not just ignore the priorities and learn whatever he had...

Although the profound, great and extraordinary knowledge in my mind is strictly necessary to learn.

He didn't intend to give up anything either.

However, under the premise of limited time, he is more willing to learn some of the types that are most helpful to his current situation and are useful at the moment.

Simply put, when you are a soldier, you have no point in learning to arrange troops and arrange strategic vision, because you have no power or control at all, and you cannot even refuse the tasks assigned to you-

Even if you think this task is stupid, there is no need to be a death sentence.

So as a soldier, what you should learn is various combat skills, how to use your weapons and armor to better kill enemies and avoid being killed by enemies, and other skills including directional off-road, secret infiltration, armed survival, etc.

After becoming a general, you don’t have to take risks to fight the enemy like a soldier. At this time, the skills you need to learn will get rid of the field of combat and become tactical aspects such as marching and fighting, placing troops and formations.

According to your current situation, arrange the courses you study and master the most useful abilities to you in a short period of time. This is the right choice.

Don’t be excited and study hard for several months. I feel that I know astronomy and geography and trivial matters, but I find that those things are something I can’t use at the moment... It’s just a waste of time.

The boss's wife soon came up with a tray, a few pieces of bread, a glass of water, and the copper coins she had found were placed on the table. She turned around and left after watching Connor counting.

Is one kroner equivalent to one hundred copper coins?

After properly packing the money he recovered, Connor vaguely understood how much money Bram paid him for fifty crowns. It was not too much, but it was definitely a lot, which seemed to be enough for him to live for a while.

Of course, he was not very sure. After all, he was a newcomer and didn't even have a preliminary understanding of the world.

Moreover, wartime problems are always easy to cause various problems, and modern economic systems are difficult to maintain stability, let alone ancient times. Perhaps in such a Baiguoyuan village, which can maintain peace, stability and generally order, prices are relatively stable and resources are not too short.

But if you go to the area where the war is most severe, it may not be necessary. It is probably normal to have money to buy things. Even the crown is probably not easy to use in those places. Only long swords, axes, bows and arrows are the strong support for the communication.

Connor licked his dry lips, then took a sip of water directly, shook his head, feeling that this is a really bad world, even drinking water costs money, and it is even more than twice as expensive as bread.

But it is understandable that the river is full of corpses and the pollution is too severe.

People can wait for a longer time without eating, but if they don’t drink water, they won’t survive for three days.

It is probably because the "compression packs" that come out of my mind are too large in size. Just opening them to look at the catalog took Connor a lot of time. He found some ways to develop his own blood potential and obtain magic.

This is the most basic guarantee. No matter how he wants to survive in this world in the future, the first thing he needs is to ensure that he has the ability to protect himself.

This world is not only full of supernatural creatures such as griffins, water ghosts, and corruption-eating demons, but also has intelligent races such as elves, dwarves, and goblins, which are older than humans and have a longer history.

This is a complete magical plane. Although it seems that human civilization is beginning to rise, it is even massacre and persecuting non-human races as a whole, and various witch hunting actions are also carried out, gradually forcing many spellcasters such as mages and warlocks to a desperate situation.

But in fact, this is just happening near and around a small section of the coastline of a continent on this planet.

No one can deny that the importance of magic and the power of elements have long penetrated into the realm of this world and spread across all aspects. Magic is the combination of art, chaos and science. It can be said that magic is the science of this world, both a threat and progress.

However, when it comes to science, it seems that a lot of extraordinary knowledge I have mastered is not only used in magical crafts. Can you consider it from this aspect?

Connor thought so wildly, then turned his head slightly and looked at the man who was dressed in a beautiful and decent manner, and at first glance he looked like an intellectual, frowned:

"Sorry, is there anything you have to do? Since the beginning, you seem to have been watching me all the time?"

"... Sorry, I just think you shouldn't be like those uninformed farmers, so I want to see if you are a suitable player." The man nodded calmly and said loudly, "I am Adot Kilt, an assistant professor at Ossenfort University and a professor of contemporary history."

"My name is Connor, I'm very happy to know you... But what does the card player mean?" Connor nodded and also reported his name. He was a little unsure what he heard.

Card player?

Playing cards? At this time?

"Gunte, do you want a game?" Adot Kilt immediately raised a deck of something like a playing card in his hand, stood up and walked over.

"Okay... OK."

Connor replied hesitantly, although he always felt something was wrong, considering that he needed to collect information from this strange world as much as possible, he still agreed.

After all, Bram is just a traveling businessman. Although he is more knowledgeable than a farmer who has been in the same village all his life and only knows how to take care of crops and fields, he is just that.

Since we need to collect more and more comprehensive information, we naturally need to start from people from all walks of life.

...

...

I knew that this cheating Gunte brand was poisonous!

When Adot Kilt, the scholar set out again and left the white orchard in pursuit of his dreams, Connor still felt a little unsatisfied, but fortunately he woke up in time.

When he saw that it was already dark, half a day had passed without realizing it, and he didn't even feel anything. It was because the other party had to set off in order to pursue his dream. He smacked his lips before he realized that he had reacted when he watched the other party leave.

Connor, who grabbed his hair with great annoyance and felt that he wasted his precious time, must be because the damn Gent card was magical.

During this period, he did not fail to notice other things happening in the hotel, such as Geralt who had come back once and had a quick and low voice with the old witch hunter Visemir.

However, he heard it clearly, as if the two were pursuing a woman named Yennefa. A few days ago, the woman should have passed by the territory of the White Orchard, and the spy Nifgad, who was garrisoned in the local army, had seen her.

But when the White Wolf - Geralt, who was called by Visemir, who was probably a nickname or something - found the military camp, the commander made a request, that was, to help the army hunt griffin beasts, and in exchange for the latter, he would tell him Yennefa's information.

Geralt could only agree and reconnaissed the attack site of the griffin beast, and even found out the information about the griffin beast, but a special plant used as bait has not been found yet.

He said he had learned from a herbist where the herb was, but it was too late and it was not a good time to go hunting.

So the two witch hunters plan to wait until tomorrow to start working, and now make some preparations first, such as boiling some decoctions, sword oil, making bombs, adjusting their own state through meditation... and so on.

This seems to be the real way of fighting for the witch hunter, and pre-war preparation is far more important than the battle itself.

Humans are not the only ones who know how to make and use tools, but with the help of the power of tools, they can do many things that beasts without wisdom cannot do. Perhaps it is because of the witch hunters' unique decoction, sword oil and bombs that they can survive and win in the confrontation with those monsters?

This made Connor feel that he seemed to have some clarity and vaguely grasped the direction of the road he was going to take later.

Of course, it was just a feeling for the time being. After all, he had discovered that the fragments of knowledge in his mind also contained a large amount of knowledge such as alchemy and herbalism. It should not be difficult to copy and reproduce the fighting style of the witch hunter.

But what is more important is another news. White Wolf Geralt said casually to Visemir, saying that there is a magical place in the cemetery of Baiguoyuan Village, which is the gathering place of magic.

He also killed a demon spirit in the family tomb of the local lord there, and found a corpse of a fellow snake school.

It seemed like a poor witch hunter sent out to find the lost weapon drawings of their school. After the mission was successful, he was ready to go back, but the villagers suspected that the son of a local beekeeper was kidnapped by the villagers in the Baiguoyuan, so he could only undergo trial and try to clear the ghosts in the lord's family's tomb.

However, he never came back and died there with the hope of their school.

When Geralt and Visemille talked about this, both of them looked a little sad, but there was nothing they could do. The long-standing prejudice and false rumors made the witch hunter scared and hated by the world.

It will not take a day or two to suffer extreme persecution in their profession.

Because Connor was not a witch hunter, he regretted not being able to empathize. He just felt that he had a safe and stable way to obtain magic. Moreover, the ghosts in that place were just eliminated by Geralt, without any danger.

This is like someone just wanted to fall asleep and someone gave him a pillow.

Taking advantage of the night, the villagers returned home and closed their doors. When no one noticed, he decisively left the hotel and walked towards the cemetery of Baiguoyuan Village.

The night is hazy, the moonlight is bright, and it doesn't look dark. Conner is not afraid of anything, but he is still very alert. After all, there are many ghosts and beasts in this world, and even when walking by the river, water ghosts may jump out to attack.

Walking alone at night with bare hands is really not a good choice. Even the soldiers patrol the road in groups as much as possible.

Connor himself knew that this was a bit dangerous. If the crazy griffin beast suddenly attacked, he would not even be able to escape on the empty ground alone.

But for the sake of the future, we still have to take some risks now...

After leaving the village and fields, he cautiously and carefully avoided the patrol soldiers on the road. It took more than ten minutes to finally approach the cemetery.

There are tombstones and ghosts, and the cold night wind seems to be walking through it. Even the moonlight seems to be difficult to illuminate this area... But perhaps because everyone knows that there are ghosts here, soldiers are unwilling to approach this area.

——This facilitates Mr. Connor’s next action.
