Chapter 592: Goal, Death Knell!
Lord Modric's lord occupies the highest point of Storm's End, which is said to be where he discovered the hematite veins.
The Earl's favorite thing is to wake up in the morning and watch the city he has built come alive like a great life as the sun rises.
Miners and slaves walked in droves along the Red Iron Street to the large pit, and the metal ore was soon transported out in a steady stream, back and forth, like a cycle of life.
Of course, every time at this time, Modric would pour himself a glass of bourbon, and the bourbon made by Storm's End had a bronze color, like flowing metal.
The life of Count Modric is a real legend, a mercenary leader of the Old Continent, who disappeared from the Far South for ten years, and when he returned to Upper Gaul again, he smashed out a countdom with a splash of money.
With that hematite, Captain Modric eventually became Count Modric.
This little story is a widely circulated version in the Storm's End, and Guo Yunfeng can hear the naked exchange of interests and the smell of blood between the lines.
Guo Yunfeng, who was invited to dinner by Count Modric, was quite familiar with the terrain of the lord's leaning, and in Guo Yunfeng's impression, this was a very serious person who was not smiling.
Although he is not from an aristocratic background, he is more like a nobleman than most of the nobles Guo Yunfeng has ever seen, always wearing well-fitting dresses, and every step is a measured and accurate span.
These details made Guo Yunfeng, who had similar habits, have a pretty good impression of the lord.
Of course, private messages about the Count were also circulated among the nobility and commoners, for example, perhaps the jealous and lucky man, and that Morderick had no descendants.
Until the disaster, he failed to become a father, wife after wife, and continued to work hard, but the final result was unsatisfactory.
Either there was no movement, or there was a deformed stillbirth.
Moreover, among the nobles of Storm's End, there were none of the companions who discovered the hematite with the Earl, and it is said that they had already taken a compensation and flown away.
But the aristocrats preferred to believe that those men had been buried in the great pit by Modric.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Guo Yunfeng and other survivors, who are here to demolish their homes today.
The lordship was built using a white stone, a specialty of Upper Gaul, which Modric had traveled to the Far South at great expense to make himself feel like he was living at home.
The stone was not very suitable for use as a building material, as it was not so hard, and once a daring thief spent three hours with a dagger to carve a hole in the wall.
This is a good thing for the survivors, Guo Yunfeng brought ten shovels, and it would be great if he could directly dig down the watchtower.
Guo Yunfeng carefully asked Xu Yichen about the combat power and regeneration ability of the Great City Gate, as well as the meaning of its existence.
The Great Gate is a landmark of the Storm's End, and in the more than 30 years since the establishment of the Storm's End, some children born inside the Great City Wall have never even stepped out of the Great City Gate.
And the iron bell is made of red iron, another symbol of the Storm's End.
At that time, this hematite bell was forged as a symbol of the city, and it cost 700 kilograms of hematite, which could already be exchanged for the ownership of a small village in the Old World.
At Storm's End, it was hung from the central bell tower that everyone could see, until the plague raged, and it was not known what creature had moved to the lord's side.
So they speculate that the remaining three members of the Brotherhood will likely be molded into other similar beings.
Guo Yunfeng is not a native of Storm's End, but he can also name several representative aspects of the city.
The giant furnace used to smelt hematite and purify the purity of hematite is called a constant gold furnace because some constant gold is added to increase stability.
Originally, the Hengjin Furnace was placed in the blacksmith area, but it happened to be diagonal to the Steelwalker camp, and Guo Yunfeng didn't have enough strength to send someone to investigate the situation there.
The other is the statue known as the Glory of the Miners, which sits at the mouth of the large pit tunnel, a huge statue more than three meters high, carved from a single block of obsidian.
It is the spiritual sustenance of countless miners who silently watch when they walk into the pit every day, and there is no specific prototype, but the story of this nameless miner can be said to be the same for several days and nights.
It seems that the story of every brilliant miner is arranged on the stone statue, and countless surviving miners who have experienced mining disasters promise that they have seen the figure of the nameless miner in the dark underground.
It tends to use a heavy cough to remind dangerous miners that they are struggling to survive when they make the wrong choice.
Some people also said that because of the lack of oxygen, before he was about to close his eyes, someone gently hit him in the face with a stone, so that he stayed awake and persevered until the rescuers arrived.
And this stone statue has disappeared.
As for the last symbol, the two Seris thought of Storm's End itself, the city and its lords miraculously growing like towering trees growing out of the cracks in the stones.
"If there is no plague, I am afraid that there will be an embryonic capitalist incident in this hellish place!" This is Guo Yunfeng's original words: "It has the basis for all changes, but it is destroyed by magic." ”
"It's the Plague of Chaos, there's a big difference between this thing and magic." Xu Yichen corrected the other party's statement, but also nodded: "Large-scale enrichment of ore veins, inexhaustible timber, and sufficient manpower, if there is no plague, it does have a chance to rise." ”
There is nothing more precious and symbolic in this city than the Storm's End itself.
Guo Yunfeng commanded the survivors to form a circular formation, killing all the undead along the way, and with the strong support of the transcendentals, the miners fought very calmly, leaving only the corpses of the heads in one place.
In the distance, the white lord is getting closer and closer, and in the black main color of the Wind Breath Castle, the presence of the lord is like a pearl, and the mansion designed by someone exudes its own charm.
However, a tall tower within the lord's top breaches spoils this pure beauty.
Green, brown flesh wrapped around the tower in veins, and several powerful but tumor-infested muscles connected a large bell from both sides.
That's their goal, the death knell!
