There are no rivers around the town of Yuexi, but there is no shortage of water in the town. I admire the people who look for water, and I've always wondered how they find the source of the water in this barren place.

The many wells in the town ensure enough water for domestic use, enough water to feed enough people, and enough people to support enough industries.

There were gold prospectors, smugglers, and even some of the haciendas who came here to reclaim land in an attempt to establish a new farm here. However, domestic water can be guaranteed, and crops do not seem to be very easy to cultivate.

The wheat in the field is not much more than the hair on the head of the balding guys, but the okra, tomatoes, and sunflowers in the field grow really well.

The dried okra here is my favorite ...... Snacks, but okra made dishes, especially soups I said I have always found weird. There is nothing good about this place, the food in the tavern can only be said to be cooked, edible, and nothing more.

Don't pick yet, or do it yourself.

So far, only the citizens of the Stormwind Kingdom have been allowed to mine dwarves, but the people in the town don't seem to have many good people, and the gold diggers are either poor at home or opportunistic, and it is impossible to work in the mines without a little care.

There are caves in the mountains here, and there are jackals and kobolds in the mines, but when more and more people come in, the gnolls retreat into the mountains, and they occupy a part of the mountains, which is a place that humans will not break into for a while. The mountain mines occupied by humans alone cannot be mined.

And the ogres and orcs in the mountains are just a legend, some people claim to have seen them, but this is just a rumor. It is said that there were cases of disappearances when humans first came here, but as more and more people went missing, the number of people who disappeared became less and less.

The legend of ogres and orcs in the mountains has gradually become used to scare newcomers to gold panders and disobedient children.

Dwarves and gnomes also joined the mining process, where in addition to gold, silver, copper, iron, chromium, nickel, tin, titanium, and precious Mithril and Thorium.

Originally, a large number of members of the masonry brotherhood gathered here, who not only opened mines and drilled holes, but also erected beams and piles. Of course, he also started a gold mining business here, but when something happened to Stormwind City, most of the fraternity members here disappeared overnight.

No one knew where they went, and even some that did not disappear did not live long, for the man sent by the king did not intend to spare them.

First interrogated, then hanged.

The people of the town are also inexplicable, but everyone knows that the Brotherhood has become a thorn in the king's side. Although the king's men searched and inspected from house to house, after two searches, there was no other action, except for the outside of the town, the town square, and some conspicuous places such as the town square were plastered with bounty notices and notices.

I don't think there are many people in the town who know how to read, but the number on the bounty is probably not recognized. But when I saw that the head of a fraternity was only worth 10 silver coins, I smacked my tongue, it was too little.

There are also mercenaries in the town, and some guys who don't pan for gold but have some skills in taking care of homes and homes choose to work here as bodyguards for those rich people and farmers.

The churches in the town are almost non-existent, but they have to be, and such places are more for the civilized and wealthy.

There is a small school in the town, but a look at the dirty children running barefoot all over the streets tells that the small school is destined to be unsustainable. What's even funnier is that the school is opposite the tavern.

A tavern is more than just a place to drink. Inappropriate things happen every day. Scold...... Most of the people who come here to pan for gold can't take the money with them. Not only is it possible to encounter roadblocks and robberies and steals, but the drunken gold fans here even surpass Stormwind.

I've been touched no less than six times while sitting at the bar in the tavern, and there's no denying that the tavern is mixed with people who like to be of the same sex, but I think the guys who touched my ass came for the money bag behind my ass.

There's no money in it.

The bartender was a dwarf, not a dwarf like Dan Morona, but a pure human who didn't grow well. That guy is very good at teasing, and it seems that there is no stubble that he can't catch, of course, this kind of guy has more information in his stomach.

I spent a gold coin to find out the whereabouts of the Brotherhood in the neighborhood, but I got the word that they had left.

I asked him how he knew, and he said that the night of the Brotherhood in Mooncreek Town, the news was passed out in advance, and they also fled overnight when they learned of the accident in Stormwind. He said that the men had all gone east, but he did not know exactly where they had gone.

I asked him if there had been any recent robbery or vandalism around the town, and he said no.

As for the reputation of the fraternity here, the bartender pointed to the noisy crowd in the hall, and had a virtue with them. When asked about people's attitudes towards the fraternity, the bartender smiled contemptuously, saying that the people here only recognize money, not attitude.

The more there is no news, the more worried I am that this state is likely to be holding back some big move.

There are more blacksmiths in town, and I think of Jordan Stilwell, but he's probably not working there anymore. I visited all the blacksmiths in town, and although there were dwarves here, the quality of the forged weapons and armor was foolish.

Of course, I'm not an expert, I don't know how to forge, but I can still see what kind of armor is good and what kind of weapons are durable.

Still, I had to buy some, and of course the final price made me choose to pick it up myself late at night, so I didn't have to spend any money.

All my original equipment was at the King's Castle, and the chances of getting it back were almost gone. I don't think Varian will have a nostalgic mentality to keep, tsk...... Lose it all.

I can't buy a good armour for me, but something is better than nothing. All the shields here are not as light and strong as the one that Lothar gave me, or that is better than nothing!

After I got myself equipped, I decided to get out of here. Before leaving, I stood on the hill and watched the busy crowd in the mountains, and I couldn't imagine what it might be like here in the future. Most of the people here are by no means chaotic and good, and I don't feel like they are completely chaotic and evil. Saying that chaotic neutrality seems to be a bit of a lift-up to them.

Maybe it's nothing if it's destroyed.

Thinking of this, I turned my horse's head and ran eastward. Perhaps it's not impossible that the Brotherhood is now hiding in a forest land that has lost its sunshine forever.

Running all the way, when the sky in the distance felt overcast even during the day, I guess I was about to arrive.

Sure enough, the polluted cursed place was obscured by dark clouds from nowhere, and the sky here has been drifting with gradually thickening dark clouds, from sparse to dense, and the closer you go, the more you will find that even the surrounding atmosphere is starting to become weird.

The color of the ground did not completely lose its luster at first after losing the dazzling sunlight, but when I crossed the wooden bridge over the river, I noticed that the color of the earth on the ground had also become dull.

A sense of lifelessness began to haunt me. There aren't many trees in the western wilderness, but it's different here, and it used to be called Sunshine Glade. In addition to large expanses of seemingly endless forest, there are also small parts of mountainous hills.

Now that they were all under the clouds, I thought they were going to die or not live well, but it was the opposite, the thick trees made me a little dazed, and I even wondered if the trees were like this when I first stepped into the land.

Moreover, the canopy of the big tree is overwhelmingly long, and the leafy branches are no longer enough to describe that luxuriance. It's a strange luxuriation. Those branches didn't grow up trying to get more ...... The sun is not bright at all, but spreads out in all directions, as if it is covering, blocking, hiding.

There were more owls in the trees than I could have imagined, and in addition to the owls, there was a bird that could emit a grumpy, high-pitched call. I hear it all the time, especially at night, but I just can't see what that bird looks like.

Without the orcs, it stands to reason that I can sleep soundly at night, but I always feel like there are eyes around me. But when I looked around, I couldn't find anything.

My horse is not a precious horse, but as an animal, I can feel the strangeness of the forest at night. The horse was a little uneasy.

I raised the pyre high and tied the horse to a large tree with my back. Several fires quieted the horse, and I curled up under the tree, hitching the handle of the mace to my wrist.

With my right hand and hammer under my left armpit, I leaned over the tree and fell into a deep sleep. But I don't know why, when I fall asleep, I feel that my surroundings are getting heavier and heavier, especially when my eyelids are heavy and I can't open them at all.

I knew I was sleeping, I knew I was going to dream, and I knew I might have a nightmare but I couldn't wake up. This feeling of powerlessness breeds a hint of fear.

But when this fear appeared, I instantly felt a blood-red color in front of me. No...... It's not blood red, it's lighter than blood red......

Just as I was thinking about why it was this color, when had I ever seen it, all of a sudden, I heard crying and shouting to kill. That terrible, miserable, miserable scream of despair filled my ears, and I told myself that it was on the battlefield!

But I wondered how I got to the battlefield, and what kind of battle was this? I wanted to see if there were any of my companions around me, if there were any enemies, but apart from the red in front of me, there was chaos in the distance, and I couldn't say whether it was black or black ash and gloomy.

I couldn't see the enemy, and their shouts were in my ears. I couldn't see my companions, and I couldn't hear their familiar calls.

Footsteps, running, sighing, shouting, crying, screaming, roaring, except for the clashing of weapons. I even felt a hint of cold. The feeling of goosebumps in an instant made me want to shiver.

Suddenly I longed to see people, Lothar, Uther, Ralph...... Both. I even said to myself that if I could see them, I would be able to get out of this state. But I still couldn't see them, I tried to think about their faces, but I only felt nothingness, and I couldn't even remember what they looked like!

I wanted to call them, but I couldn't speak.

I wanted to run away, but there was nothing in sight but those damn red and gray. But I could feel as if I was still conscious.

In the midst of the noise that kept getting louder and smaller, there was a hoarse laugh. The laughter that echoed in my head terrified me even more.

The laughter that flickered from afar and near made me realize that I had a nightmare.

I never let nightmares go on like this, I longed to wake up, but my body didn't support me to do so.

Finally the voice spoke, "Come closer, come closer......"

I instinctively rejected the sound, but I couldn't avoid it.

"Thief, traitor, killer......"

The voice echoed, and then slowly said the word—"Servant......" His tone changed suddenly, "You...... Alone. ”

The voice sent shivers down my shoulders.

"You ...... forever Alone! ”
