"Are you familiar with the environment?" Xu Yichen held the torch aloft so that the miners behind him could see his surroundings clearly.

Although this world has not developed a complete industrial system, the power of magic has intervened in the process of industrial production.

In the New World, the Witch King's Wind Exhaust Magic Array is a must-have item in every mining area, which can continuously discharge underground exhaust gases out of the pit with low wind speeds.

So in the shallow tunnels of the big pits, the miners could use torches for lighting, and there were also jacks left for the torches in the walls on both sides.

After a long period of expansion and reinforcement, the tunnel has become a tunnel more than four meters high, enough for three small carts to run parallel on the ground.

It's just that at this time, the big pit is silent, as if even the roars of the undead outside are blocked, and there is no other light source except for the torches in the hands of a few survivors.

After turning two more corners, the sunlight outside is completely isolated, and the ground and underground seem to become two worlds, neither the pipeline nor the sound affect each other.

"My lord, I'm familiar with it, I've worked here for eight years, and I've walked this road for eight years, and I can finish it with my eyes closed." The miner said with some trepidation: "But if I go eight hundred meters deeper, I will only be familiar with the branch on the western side." ”

"It's okay, let's go in the direction you are familiar with first, and tell me what is special about it?" Xu Yichen took the lead with a torch, he had the talent of [Shimmer Vision], this kind of dark environment, under the light of the fire, was enough for him to see all the details clearly: "Whether it is a special mineral, a geographical environment, or a strange person, tell me." ”

"The tunnel where I work belongs to Viscount Amos, and in addition to hematite, some associated minerals are sometimes found, which can be refined into some pure gold." The miner carefully recalled the details of his work: "Viscount Amos was very strict with the slaves who dug for stones. ”

The miner frowned and said: "This matter is known in the city, Viscount Amos is extremely harsh on slaves, and every day we have slaves die in the mines, and the corpses are thrown into an abandoned mine, and even we sometimes can't stand it. ”

"After all these years, doesn't the corpse of a slave cause a plague when it decomposes?" Xu Yichen felt that in this kind of confined space, if there were corpses, I am afraid that the plague would have been rampant a long time ago, and he would not be able to wait for today.

"There is no plague, I don't know if the mine was dug or what, it is bottomless, and there is no sound of the corpse being thrown into it and falling to the bottom." The miner suddenly said, "By the way, speaking of that mine, sometimes when we pass by, we can hear the wind whirring below!" ”

An underground space? Xu Yichen frowned, he was not afraid of the demons in the Demon Army, but he was very worried that he would be defeated by this complex underground space.

And after losing the maintenance of the living, the magic arrays responsible for moving the air also stopped working, and the others didn't notice it, but the demon hunters whose sense of smell was specially strengthened could already feel that the oxygen content in the air began to drop, and it was accompanied by a smell of rotting corpses.

Because of the dust, the footprints on the ground are very clear, and the footprints that go out from the inside to the outside are very scattered, which are left by the miners who withdrew en masse after the miners continued to disappear in the large pit.

The footprints from the outside to the inside are neat and clear, left by Count Morderick and his personal guard, the Knights of the Forge Roar, when they enter the pit to search for missing persons.

This is a team composed entirely of professionals, with twenty-five people at full strength, and if it weren't for Count Modric's cornucopia, he wouldn't have been able to support him.

Most of the lords in the Far South are like the fat Antoine, attached to a certain force, and there are one or two professionals around him as bodyguards.

And Modric is not only a powerful transcendent himself, but can also provide these transcendents with real magical equipment, as well as a specialty of Storm's End, plate armor made of red iron.

Guo Yunfeng also told Xu Yichen that the condition offered by Count Moderick was to serve in the Knights of the Furnace Roar for five years, and all the equipment belonged to the individual, and those who completed ten years would be given the status of baron.

The conditions are really excellent, and the children are not bullied, and nearly one-third of the nobles of Storm's End are from the Knights of the Crucible Roar.

The Brotherhood, on the other hand, was originally a place where the Roaring Knights of the Crucible, who had retired from the Forge due to injury or old age, met in private for a drink.

There is also a more secret rumor, Count Morric himself once served as the first president of the Brotherhood, although it was just a formality, and Count Modric left office in less than a year, but Modric can still be regarded as the founder of the Brotherhood.

Later, as the Brotherhood grew, its members slowly changed from members of the Order to descendants of the Knights, and there were more and more young people, who were not only selected from the aristocratic class, but also gradually expanded to the commoners.

I don't know when it began, the Brotherhood had the principle that no one over the age of forty could be the president, and at the same time, it also became a semi-public elite organization in Storm's End, with great influence.

Many young nobles and commoners have a lifelong dream of joining the Brotherhood and getting ahead, and James, who was beheaded by Guo Yunfeng before, is the last member of the Brotherhood.

It's a pity that before the other party could complete the ceremony of officially joining the brotherhood, a change occurred in Wind's Breath Castle.

Xu Yichen has always wondered if Count Modric himself has anything to do with this plague, or what does it have to do with it?

Is this the dream of immortality of Viscount Amos, the leader of the Brotherhood, or the dream of Count Modric?

After all, as a great aristocrat who has successfully risen from the grassroots, Count Modric has no heirs, and is already a public laughing stock.

Not only are the nobles in the city waiting for Count Modric to make a fortune in the distribution of property after his death, but even the commoners will gossip about the current situation facing Count Morric every day.

Compared to Viscount Amos, who is not yet forty years old, but already has three sons and two daughters, who of the two would have a greater desire for eternal life?

Guo Yunfeng had this kind of concern at the beginning, so he kept fully armed when communicating with Count Modric, but fortunately, the count was very confident in his strength and didn't care too much.

"Turn left at the second fork in front, and that's what I said about the mine road." The miner's face was a little pale in the light of the fire, and he seemed to be a little frightened by the darkness around him.
