Chapter five hundred and ninety-eight deep into the mine
"Are you familiar with the environment here?" Xu Yichen raised the torch so that the miners behind him could see the surrounding environment clearly.
Although this world has not developed a complete industrial system, the power of magic has already intervened in the process 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 underground waste gas out of the mine pit at low wind speed.
So in the shallow mine tunnels of the large mine, miners can use torches to illuminate, and there are also sockets left for torches on the walls on both sides.
After a long period of expansion and reinforcement, the mine has become a mine road more than four meters high, enough for three small carts to run parallel on the ground.
However, at this time the large mine was silent, as if even the roars of the undead outside were blocked. There was no other light source except the torches in the hands of a few survivors.
After turning two more corners, the sunlight outside was completely isolated, and the ground seemed to have become two worlds, neither the pipeline nor the sounds affected each other.
"Sir, I'm familiar with it. I've worked here for eight years, and I've also walked this path for eight years. I can finish it even with my eyes closed." The miner said with some trepidation: "But if I go further eight hundred meters deep, I'll only be familiar with the branches in the west district."
"It's okay, let's go to the familiar direction you first and tell me what special places are there?" Xu Yichen held up the torch and moved forward first. He had the talent of [glimmer vision]. This dark environment, under the light of the fire, was enough for him to see all the details clearly: "Whether it is a special mineral, geographical environment, or strange people, tell me."
"The tunnel I worked for belongs to Viscount Amos. In addition to hematite, sometimes some companion minerals can be found, which can extract some pure gold." The miner carefully recalled the details of his work: "Viscount Amos treats those slaves who dig stones very strictly."
The miner frowned and said, "Everyone in the city knows this, Viscount Amos is extremely harsh on slaves. Every day, we have slaves who die in mines and throw their bodies into an abandoned mine. Sometimes we can't even see them."
"After so many years, will the plague not cause a plague after the corpse of a slave rot?" Xu Yichen felt that if there were corpses in such a confined space, the plague would have been rampant for a long time and he would not have been able to wait for today.
"There is no plague. I don't know if the mine was dug or what. It's so deep that the body is thrown in. There is no sound of falling to the bottom." The miner suddenly said: "By the way, when we talk about that mine, sometimes when we pass by, we can hear the whistling wind below!"
An underground space? Xu Yichen frowned. He was not afraid of the evil demons in the Demon Abuse Army, but he was very worried that he would be defeated by this complex underground space.
Moreover, after losing the maintenance of the living, the magic circles responsible for the flowing air stopped working, and others did not notice it, but the demon hunter 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.
Due to dust, the footprints on the ground are very clear, and the footprints that walk out from the inside out are very scattered. This is left by the miners collectively evacuated after the miners in the large mine pit.
The footprints from the outside to the inside are very neat and clear. These are the ones left by Count Modric and his pro-guard furnace Roaring Knights when they entered the mine to find the missing people.
This is a team of professionals, with twenty-five people under the full troop. If Count Modric had not been to the treasure trove of Fengxi Castle, he would not have been able to afford it.
Most of the lords in the far south are like fat Antoine, who are affiliated with a certain force, and there are one or two professionals who are bodyguards around them.
Modric is not only a powerful extraordinary person, but also provides these extraordinary people with real magic equipment, as well as the specialties of Fengxi Castle, and plate armor made of Hematite.
These are extremely attractive to extraordinary people from civilian origins. Guo Yunfeng also told Xu Yichen that the condition offered by Earl Modric was to serve in the Roaring Knights for five years, and all the equipment was individual. Those who had been in the Roaring Knights for ten years were given the baron status.
It is really excellent in terms of conditions and is undeniable. Nearly one-third of the nobles of Fengxi Castle were from the Roaring Knights of the Furnace.
The Brotherhood, at the beginning, was also the place where the Roaring Knights, who retired from injury or old age, gathered and drank in private.
There is also a relatively secret message transmission. Count Modric himself served as the first president of the Brotherhood. Although he was just a formality and Count Modric left office in less than a year, Modric can still be regarded as the founder of the Brotherhood.
Later, as the Brotherhood developed, its members gradually changed from members of the Knights to descendants of the Knights. More and more young people were selected. They not only selected from the aristocratic class, but also gradually expanded to the common people.
I don’t know when it started, but my brothers had the principle that they were over forty years old and were not allowed to serve as president. At the same time, they also became a semi-open powerful organization in Fengxi Castle with great influence.
Many young nobles and civilians have a lifelong dream of joining the Brotherhood and making 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 of officially joining the Brotherhood, Fengxi Castle changed.
Xu Yichen has been wondering whether Count Modric himself has anything to do with this plague, or what is it?
Is this the dream of eternal life of Viscount Amos, the leader of the Brotherhood, or the dream of Count Modric?
After all, as a great nobleman who has successfully risen from the grassroots class, the fact that Count Modric has no descendants is already an open laughing stock.
Not only were the nobles waiting for Count Modric to make a fortune in the distribution of property after his death, but even the civilians would gossip about the current situation facing Count Modric every day.
Compared with Viscount Amos, who is less than forty years old but already has three sons and two daughters, who will have greater desire for immortality?
Guo Yunfeng had this kind of concern and maintained full armedness when communicating with Earl Modric. Fortunately, the Earl was very confident in his strength and didn't care much about it.
"When the second fork in front is the mine, I mentioned the mine. "The miner's face looked a little pale under the flames, and seemed to be a little afraid of the dark environment around me.
