Chapter 598

"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 the world has not developed a complete set of industrial system, but the power of magic has been involved in the link of industrial production.

In the new world, the magic array of wind exhausting produced by the wizard king is an essential item for every mining area. It can continuously exhaust the underground waste gas from the mine with low wind speed.

So in the shallow tunnels of large mines, miners can use torches for lighting, and there are sockets for torches on the walls on both sides.

After a long time of expansion and reinforcement, the mine has become a full four meters high mine, enough for three carts on the ground in parallel.

But at this time, the pit was silent, and it seemed that the roar of the dead outside was blocked. There was no other light source except the torches in the hands of several survivors.

After two more turns, the sun is completely isolated from the outside. It seems that there are two worlds on the ground and underground. Neither the pipeline nor the sound affects each other.

"My Lord, I am familiar with it. I have worked here for eight years, and I have walked this road for eight years. I can finish it with my eyes closed." The miner said with some trepidation: "but if I go further 800 meters, I will only be familiar with the branch on the west side."

"That's OK. Let's go to the direction you're familiar with first and tell me what's special about it?" Xu Yichen took the lead with the torch. He had the talent of "dim light vision". Under the light of the fire, this dark environment was enough for him to see all the details clearly: "tell me whether it's special minerals, geographical environment, or strange people."

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

The miner frowned and said, "it is known in the city that Viscount Amos is extremely harsh on slaves. Every day, we have slaves die in mines, and their bodies are thrown into an abandoned mine. Sometimes we can't even see them."

"After all these years, will the corpses of slaves not cause pestilence?" Xu Yichen felt that in this kind of confined space, if there were corpses, I'm afraid the plague would have been rampant and could not wait for today.

"There is no plague. I don't know whether the mine was dug or not. It's too deep to see the bottom. The corpse doesn't even fall to the bottom." The miner suddenly said, "by the way, speaking of that mine hole, sometimes when we pass by, we can hear the wind below!"

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

After losing the maintenance of the living people, those magic circles responsible for the flowing air also stopped working. Other people didn't notice it. However, the demon hunters whose sense of smell had been strengthened could already feel that the oxygen content in the air began to drop, accompanied by a smell of rotten corpses.

Because of the dust, the footprints on the ground are very clear, and the footprints that go out from inside to outside are very scattered, which is left by the miners' collective withdrawal after the miners in the big mine are constantly missing.

The footprints from the outside to the inside are neat and clear. They were left by count Modric and his bodyguard, the furnace roaring knights, as they entered the mine to find the missing.

This is a team composed entirely of professionals. There are 25 people in full capacity. If the Earl Modric did not sit in the treasure pot of fengxibao, he would not have been able to support it.

Most of the Lords in the far south, like Antoine the fat man, are attached to a certain force, and there are one or two professional bodyguards around.

And Modric is not only an extraordinary person with extraordinary strength, but also provides them with real magic equipment, as well as the local product of fengxibao, the plate armour made of red iron.

These are of great appeal to ordinary people. Guo Yunfeng also told Xu Yichen that the condition offered by the count of Modric was that he had served in the furnace roaring Knights' order for five years, and all the equipment was personal. If he had completed ten years, he would be given Baron status.

It is true that the conditions are excellent, and the old and the young are not deceived. Nearly one third of the nobles in fengxibao are from the order of the furnace roaring knights.

And the brotherhood, at first, was a place where the brawling knights, who had retired from their careers because of injury or old age, gathered in private to drink.

There is also a more secret message that the Earl of Modric himself once served as the first president of the brotherhood. Although it was just a passing show, count Modric left office in less than a year, but he was still the founder of the brotherhood.

Later, with the development of the brotherhood, its members gradually changed from members of the order to descendants of the Knights. There were more and more young people. They were not only selected from the noble class, but also gradually expanded to the common people.

I don't know when the brotherhood began to have the principle of not being the president of the brotherhood over 40 years old. At the same time, it has become a semi public organization of powerful people in fengxibao, with great influence.Many young nobles and civilians dream of joining the brotherhood and getting ahead. James, who was beheaded by Guo Yunfeng, is the last member of the brotherhood.

It's a pity that before the other party can finish the formal ceremony of joining the brotherhood, fengxibao has changed.

Xu Yichen has been doubting whether the count of Modric himself has anything to do with the plague, or what is it?

Is this the eternal dream of the brotherhood leader Viscount Amos or the dream of count Modric?

After all, as a great aristocrat who rose from the grass-roots class successfully, the fact that the count of Modric had no queen was already a public laughing stock.

Not only were the nobles waiting for count Modric to make a profit in the distribution of property after his death, but even ordinary people would gossip about the current situation of count Modric every day.

Compared with Viscount Amos, who is under 40, but has three sons and two daughters, who has a greater desire for eternal life?

At the beginning, Guo Yunfeng had this kind of concern, and he kept fully armed when communicating with count Modric. Fortunately, the count was very confident in his own strength and didn't care much about it.

"Turn left at the second fork in front of you. That's what I mean by the mine, my Lord." The miner's face looked pale in the light of the fire, and seemed to be afraid of the surrounding dark environment.
