Chapter 267: The Messenger of the Scourge
() After landing, the two did not take any rest and found the vehicle they needed in a small town overnight.
Then, Xia Feng and the others used the van they got to start their journey across the kingdom of Letania, and the van did not stop along the northern border route, and the wheels were about to fly.
Without any rest, they have been maintaining a high-speed movement, this is not Victoria, in the process of the south wind is driving, Xia Feng has always maintained a high level of vigilance, although they are not afraid of anyone, but some troublesome situations are still detected in advance, and it is better to avoid them if they can avoid them.
...............
Two days later.
The van braked and stopped on the side of the road in a small town, which was already on the edge of Casimir.
From the time they set off, the two of them had hardly rested all the way, and the two Dou Zong powerhouses had barely shown their tiredness, and their eyes were bloodshot.
This town is the first town on the westernmost side of Casimir's borders, and unlike Victoria, Casimir is a vast and sparsely populated country, and it lags behind Victoria in terms of technology, economy, military, transportation, etc.
It's a country where chivalric culture is prevalent, and it's also commonly known as Equestria, just like Ursas, and the country's national ethnicity is also very uniform, basically all of them are Kuranta, and there are not no people of other races, but there are very few.
As a Kuranta tribe, the people here also have a soft spot for horses, just like this border town where Xia Feng is located at the moment, people riding tall horses can be seen everywhere, and there are many carriages loaded with goods in front of the shops.
Xia Feng felt that his senses were instantly pulled to the Middle Ages, and this was the result of information closure.
Because of natural disasters, not only every country, but even every city and every small town, except for merchants and travelers, it is almost difficult to get effective information exchange, especially in countries where this knightly culture is prevalent, Xia Feng even suspects that they do not even have such a thing as a mobile phone.
Because of this inherent thinking, the people living in Casimir are more dependent on improving their own strength, as well as on source stone skills and spells, than on the development of technology like other world powers, just like a few operators from Casimir that Xia Feng is familiar with, most of them are good at using bows and arrows.
In such a country with a large land area and a serious lack of information exchange, various civilian armed forces and organizations in the nature of the Source Stone Technique Research Society have also emerged.
In addition, perhaps due to geographical reasons, Casimir's western border is a disaster-prone area, which also attracts many greedy marauders from all over the world.
But when the raiders arrived, most of them found that things did not seem to be what they imagined, and even though they knew that there were many natural disasters here, the natives of some remote villages may not have experienced them in their lifetime, because Casimir's land is too vast.
Due to the lack of technology, some medium-sized cities in Casimir don't even have the technology to predict natural disasters, let alone capture them in the wilderness.
This is normal, many backward and small countries in the world of Terra cannot rely on scientific and technological means to take refuge, since they cannot rely on technology, they can only use manpower, so, a special profession was born, natural disaster messenger.
According to Xia Feng's shallow understanding, the natural disaster messenger is not an international organization that does not belong to any country, and their work is also very easy to understand, using rich meteorological knowledge, as well as extraordinary insight and experience, they can perceive the signs of natural disasters by **, if the area where they measure the natural disaster befalls coincides with a certain city on their way, then they need to notify the residents of the city to evacuate.
In a sense, the Scourge Messengers seem to bring despair, because as long as they identify themselves, it means that the Scourge will follow.
But in fact, what they really bring is hope, and it is because of them that those who are unaware of natural disasters can escape.
Of course, this is the message of the Scourge Courier's performance.
They are observers of natural disasters and saviors after natural disasters, Xia Feng does not know where this international organization originated, nor does he know what their true purpose is, but there is one thing that cannot be ignored.
That is, they have a powerful intelligence message, this intelligence is not a person, not a thing, but information about natural disasters, for ordinary people, natural disasters are disasters that destroy everything, but for some people, natural disasters also represent the lifeblood of this world, that is, the source stone.
Xia Feng and the border town where they are now are called Karan Town, an hour ago, Xia Feng and South Wind happened to meet someone while looking for a hotel.
It's a stranger, but his strange outfit catches Xia Feng's attention.
This man was wrapped in heavy clothes and wore a turban on his head, his figure was not strong, but a little thin, his limbs were slender, and his steps were capable.
Of course, it didn't matter if this person was a long-distance runner or an infected, but in the accidental rubbing on the street, he sensed something abnormal.
The black and white twin in his body has been running for the 26th day, and even if he doesn't draw out the black power, his perception of energy has reached a very terrifying level.
Xia Feng clearly felt that this person's body was filled with a heavy source stone substance, and through careful identification, he found that this was not the source stone energy emitted from the blood of the infected, but attached to the surface of the body, that is, this person was not an infected person, but he had been exposed to a large number of source stones in a short period of time.
Even if it is Casimir, the trading of source stones is officially absolutely prohibited, although the source stone energy on his body is strong, but there is no accurate source, that is to say, he has no source stone on his body at the moment, so there are only two possibilities for such a huge amount of source stone energy attached to his body.
First, he used to carry a large number of source stones, and he was a companion who smuggled source stones.
Second, he had recently left the Scourge Zone.
If it was the first one, then Xia Feng would not be of much interest, but if it was the second, it would somewhat overlap with a plan he had envisioned before he set off.
Xia Feng stopped, turned around and intercepted the person who had passed them.
"Brother, can you borrow some time, I have something I want to ask you about."
It wasn't until he was stopped that the man noticed Xia Feng, and soon, he smelled a familiar breath from Xia Feng's body with his experience, this young man was infected.
Suddenly stopped by two strangers, this man did not show any nervous look, he took off the scarf on his face, revealing a face covered with stubble, it can be seen that he is not young, about 40 years old.
"Little brother, is there anything wrong with you?"
"Sorry to stop you suddenly, I want to know something from you."
"What's the matter?"
Xia Feng looked around for a moment.
"It's too noisy here, let's find a quiet place, sorry, it might take up some of your time."
The man nodded slightly.
"Okay."
Originally, Xia Feng proposed to go to the tavern, but the man refused, saying that he had urgent matters and was in a hurry.
In desperation, Xia Feng could only take him to a secluded alley.
The middle-aged man sat against a wooden box by the wall and stretched his legs, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.
He asked, looking up as he hammered the muscles in his legs.
"Little brother, if you have anything to ask, just ask, I don't have any secrets, if it is information that I can help, I will definitely tell you."
Seeing his calm attitude, Xia Feng asked directly to the point.
"Big brother, what do you do?"
This question didn't seem to be a secret to this middle-aged man, so he answered directly.
"I'm a Scourge Courier."
