Chapter 567 Storm's End!

"On the contrary, I don't want to go out, I want to go in." Xu Yichen looked at the centaur woman hovering outside the barrier with great interest: "So, you are indeed the ring organization of the shepherd tree?"

"That's right, we are the Ring of Herding Trees organization. After sensing the signal from the forest, we rushed over immediately, but it was still too late." The centaur didn't know whether he should believe this Siris Man, the other party does not seem to want to force his way out.

To be on the safe side, the centaur secretly passed the unexpected news to his companions, and then tried his best to delay the time.

"Infected people have already run into the forest, and your blockade has failed." Xu Yichen said to the centaur, "I found a dragon beast eating infected people in the forest near the sea."

"We have been working hard to hunt and kill those plague carriers. The high-level druids are communicating with Mother Nature to keep the animals away from the infected." The centaur looked a little aggrieved: "But our number is too small , and there are always some animals who are too proud to communicate with Mother Nature, and some animals who are too dumb to understand what we are sending!"

"You should join hands with others, you alone cannot stop the spread of the plague." The witcher shook his head: "Say hello to Master Gast for me and tell him I'm not dead yet, I'll go back to Storm's End try to solve the problem."

"If I succeed, I will give you a signal. If I die inside, you can stick to the original plan." Xu Yichen turned and continued to walk in the direction of Storm's End: "Tell Master Gaster, this is Nurgle's Another game."

"Hey!" the centaur shouted from the edge of the natural wall, "Man, whoever you are, good luck! Also, don't try to sneak away, we'll watch you!"

After nearly a week, this was the first time Xu Yichen communicated with intelligent creatures, which made him feel much happier.

Along the way, he ate and slept in the open, and had been dealing with corpses and undead, and finally changed his appetite, which is why he was willing to waste a little time to stop and communicate with the centaur.

Loneliness will always find you unconsciously.

Looking up and looking into the distance, Storm's End occupying the hilly area was already visible to the naked eye. Xu Yichen sorted out his equipment and continued along the wider and wider road.

At a T-junction, an overturned carriage was blocked in the middle of the road. The carriage was full of hay and nearly blocked the entire road after overturning.

The two corpses were probably horse wrecks. In the middle of the road, the black blood had already solidified, exuding a suffocating smell.

The dry grass was mixed with blood, leaving an ominous trail of dragging marks on the ground, making it hard not to imagine the sudden tragedy.

A few tumor-covered crows stood on the road sign at the T-junction, neighing with a strange voice, and their small scarlet eyes moved with the movement of the witcher.

Xu Yichen waved his hand, and Alder's seal, which had controlled his strength, was thrown away, driving away a few infected crows, and then he could see clearly the words written on the bloody road sign.

"To the west, fifteen kilometers, Storm's End."

"To the south, five kilometers, the old mine."

When the demon hunter passed by the road sign with a blank face, a gust of wind blew in. After shaking and struggling a few times, the already devastated road sign broke from the root with a snap and fell to the ground.

Compared with Port Anthony, Storm's End is much smaller in area, but has a larger population.

Unlike the Anthony family, Earl Modric is a titled professional. Not only is his strength extraordinary, but his lifespan is far beyond ordinary people.

In fact, he is one of the founders of Storm's End.

According to legend, the mine veins of Storm's End were first discovered by an adventure group. After the initial hard work, as early as when Storm's End was still the town of Storm's End, Modric put his own Teammates were poisoned to death in their room.

Since then, the town of Wind's End has slowly turned into Storm's End, and the only owner of Storm's End is Earl Modric.

By the way, the title of Earl was awarded to Modric by the French Empire. A colonial title is not very valuable to knights in the Old World, especially when Storm's End itself can produce a lot of weapons and armor.

A large number of civilians came across the sea from the old road because of the superior treatment provided by Count Modric, and they did get the expected treatment and became a glorious miner in Storm's End.

The miners formed the civilian class of Storm's End, and those who were talented and able to explore the direction of ore veins, distinguish mineral types, refine metals, and forge weapons and armor became the core class of Storm's End.

Of course, as a sufficiently ruthless professional, Modric does not reject the use of slaves at all, exchanging his life for mines in the most dangerous positions.

Modric promised that those who perform well among them can become free citizens.

But the earl didn't care about the source of the slaves. It could even be said that he condoned the slave traders to plunder the population of other regions to fill the gap.

Those who could provide a large amount of labor eventually even became the nobles of Storm's End. As a newly emerging city, Storm's End developed and expanded at an unparalleled speed.

If it weren't for this plague called the 'cancer of eternal life', no one could have predicted where Storm's End would end up.

But the sudden natural disaster and death broke the backbone of the city and emptied the city's flesh and blood.

As Xu Yichen went deeper, more and more dense buildings began to appear on both sides of the road. Just like the lower city of Antony Grand Port, in every city, there are always some people who cannot afford the high cost of living in the city and have to face it alone outside the city walls. Danger to the Black Forest.

The simple wooden houses showed the kind of panic experienced by the owners here. The wooden doors were wide open, scratches and bloodstains made Xu Yichen seem to have returned to reality.

However, there was no enemy in the witcher's perception, and he just walked along the deserted road for nearly forty minutes, until he reached the big city gate and city wall of Storm's End, which were visible to the naked eye.

The scene in the distance made Xu Yichen frowned. The majestic city wall of Storm's End was almost covered in flesh and blood. There were several savage growths at the gate, which looked extremely ferocious. They were more than ten meters long and covered with Stingy tentacles.

The entire city gate was filled with human flesh and bones, as if the internal organs had been pulled out of the body.

This also explains why these buildings outside the city are empty of people, or empty of corpses.

PS: emmmmm, how about I also ask for a monthly pass? Seeing that I haven't asked for leave this month?
