The Game of Demon Hunter

Chapter 599: Deep into the Mine (3rd update)

"Are you familiar with the environment here?" Xu Yichen held up the torch so that the miners behind him could see the surrounding environment clearly.

Although this world has not developed a complete set of industrial systems, the power of magic has already been involved in the link of industrial production.

In the New World, the exhaust magic array produced by the Witch King is a must-have item in every mining area. It can continuously discharge the underground exhaust gas out of the mine pit with low wind speed.

Therefore, in the shallow mine tunnel of the big mine pit, miners can use torches for lighting, and there are sockets for torches on the walls on both sides.

After a long period of expansion and reinforcement, the mine road has become a mine road with a height of more than four meters, enough for three small carts to run side by side on the ground.

It's just that the big mine pit was completely silent at this time, and it seemed that even the roars of the undead outside were blocked. Apart from the torches in the hands of a few survivors, there was no other light source.

After turning two more bends, the sunlight outside is completely isolated, and the ground and the ground seem to be two worlds, neither pipelines nor sound affect each other.

"My lord, I am familiar with it. I have worked here for eight years, and I have also walked this road for eight years. I can finish it with my eyes closed." The miner said a little nervously: "But if you go 800 meters deeper , I am only familiar with the branch on the west side.”

"It's okay, let's go to the direction you are familiar with first, and tell me what special place there is?" Xu Yichen held a torch and took the lead. He has the talent of [twilight vision], this kind of dark environment, under the light of the fire , enough for him to see all the details: "Whether it's special minerals, geographical environment, or strange people, tell me."

"The tunnel I was working in belonged to Viscount Amos. In addition to red iron, sometimes some associated minerals were found, which could extract some fine gold." The miner carefully recalled the details of his work: "Viscount Amos is very strict with slaves who dig stones."

The miner frowned and said: "Everyone in the city knows about this. Viscount Amos is extremely harsh on the slaves. We have slaves who die in the mine every day, and the corpses are thrown into an abandoned mine. I can't watch it all the time."

"It's been so many years. Wouldn't the rotting corpses of the slaves cause the plague?" Xu Yichen felt that if there were corpses in this confined space, the plague would have been rampant long ago, and it would not be possible to wait until today.

"There is no plague. I don't know if the mine was dug or something. It's bottomless. When the corpse is thrown in, there is no sound of falling to the bottom." The miner suddenly said: "By the way, speaking of that mine, sometimes we When passing by, I could hear the whistling wind below!"

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

Moreover, after losing the maintenance of living people, the magic circles responsible for flowing air also stopped working. Others did not notice it, but the witcher, whose sense of smell has been specially enhanced, can already feel the oxygen content in the air begin 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 going out from the inside to the outside are very scattered. This is left by the collective withdrawal of the miners after the miners in the large mine pit kept disappearing.

The footprints from the outside to the inside are very neat and clear. These are left by Earl Modric and his personal guards, the Furnace Roaring Knights, when they entered the mine to search for missing persons.

This is a team composed entirely of professionals. There are twenty-five people at full capacity. If it weren't for the cornucopia of Storm's End that Count Modric was sitting on, he wouldn't be able to support him at all.

Most of the lords in the Far South region, like Antoine the Fatty, are affiliated with a certain force, and there are one or two professionals around them as bodyguards.

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

These are very attractive to extraordinary people who are born as ordinary people. Guo Yunfeng also told Xu Yichen that the condition offered by Earl Modric is that he has served in the Roaring Knights of the Furnace for five years, and all the equipment belongs to himself. Granted baronetship.

The conditions are really excellent, and there is no deception. Nearly one-third of the nobles in Storm's End are from the Roaring Knights of the Forge.

The Brotherhood, on the other hand, started out as a place where the Knights of the Furnace Roar who retired due to injury or old age met privately and drank.

There is also a relatively secret sound transmission. Count Modric himself once served as the first president of the Brotherhood. Although it was just a formality, Count Modric left in less than a year, but Modric Grae still counts as the founder of the fraternity.

Later, with the development of the Brotherhood, the members gradually changed from members of the knight order to descendants of the knights. There were more and more young people. They were not only selected from the aristocratic class, but also gradually expanded to the common people.

I don't know when, the brotherhood has the principle that no one over forty years old can be appointed as the president, and at the same time it has become a semi-public powerful organization in Storm's End, with great influence.

The lifelong dream of many young nobles and civilians is to join the Brotherhood and make a name for themselves. James, who was beheaded by Guo Yunfeng before, was the last member of the Brotherhood.

It's a pity that before the other party had time to complete the ceremony to formally join the Brotherhood, a change occurred in Storm's End.

Xu Yichen has been wondering whether Earl Modric himself has anything to do with this plague, or what does it have to do with it?

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

After all, as a great aristocrat who successfully rose from the grassroots, the fact that Count Modric has no heir is already a public laughing stock.

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

Compared with Viscount Amos, who is under forty years old but already has three sons and two daughters, which one of them has a greater desire for eternal life?

At the beginning, Guo Yunfeng had such concerns, so he kept fully armed when communicating with Earl Modric. Fortunately, the Earl was very confident in his own strength and didn't care too much.

"Turn left at the second fork ahead, which is the mine tunnel I mentioned, my lord." The miner's face was a little pale under the light of the fire, as if he was a little afraid of the dark surroundings.
