Chapter 242, The Crooked Technology Tree
Greystone came to this city, this city that is always mentioned by every ratman, this sacred city.
Carrying that roll of leather, dusty, embarrassed, and exhausted, along the way, in the many cities we passed along the way, many Ratmen wanted to join this journey, and some were big. He swayed the blood mushrooms in his hands, some were weak and thin, begging, begging hard to the big-clawed priest who led the team.
Weak and skinny people are often the more devout believers of that god, and they beg just to get to that place, that city.
More and more Ratmen are born in each Ratman city, but at the same time, more and more Ratmen are moving further and further away from there.
The rat people have no epics, and the rat people do not record history, but the rat people all know that city. The underground rat city did not continue to decline as everyone imagined, and no rat people expected this scene.
The Rat Priests didn’t expect it, Rat Zhan didn’t expect it, the temple guards didn’t expect it, and even the White Rat didn’t expect it either.
With the emergence of rat cities one after another, and more and more breeding houses, the rat people gradually began to share the functions of the underground rat cities in the disorderly expansion, but this did not let this city The city, the first city built by the rat people, declined like this.
On the contrary, it is lifted high, lifted high, becomes sacred, becomes beautiful.
But is it really more different from other rat cities.
Not really.
The city of Ratmen is nothing more than that, with chaotic underground tunnels or regular underground tunnels, in short, they are all repetitive scenery.
They are all those dark and narrow underground tunnels.
But why, why was the Underground Rat City raised high?
Along the way, Gray Stone witnessed countless fallen rat men, kneeling in the direction of the underground rat city.
In fact, the reason is also very simple.
The reason is really simple.
Take the guy Shu Zhan as an example. Even if Shu Zhan is not pious, even if Shu Zhan despises those cowardly priests, even if this guy is so unruly, if one day he really wants to Set foot on the highest point and let him choose a place to climb to the top. That place will be no other than the Underground Rat City, and it will definitely be the temple of the gods in the Underground Rat City.
This is certain. There is no more reason. It must be the Underground Rat City, because among all the rat cities, only it is sacred and only it can carry the most supreme imagination.
When the gods were there, the Underground Rat City was just an important city. When the gods gradually faded away, the Underground Rat City jumped up and became a city of sacred glory that carries everything.
Devout and fanatical believers are always eager to touch the gods, even if they feel that they are touching the gods.
The beliefs of the rat people are not pure enough, but the beliefs of the rat people are extreme enough.
This road has become a road of corpses. Countless rat people kowtow on this road and die of hunger, weakness, and many other things.
It doesn’t matter that the rat people have become the overlords of this area, but for the entire rat people group, the individual and scattered rat people have always been the most humble existence.
A thin wild dog can kill a lone ratman.
Perhaps it was due to the indulgence of those caravans that they created dangers along the way. These big-clawed priests as messengers of the gods wantonly played with the lives of these pious ratmen.
If this road is not dangerous, if this road is not difficult, then who will use blood mushrooms to buy that precious quota?
The road of faith is full of filth, and the road of faith is full of filth.
Greystone finally arrived at the Underground Rat City and walked through this thorny pilgrimage road.
He witnessed the transaction between the Great Claw Priest and the remaining scaly heretics in the swamp in a hidden corner. The rat people who fell behind the caravan were dragged into the depths of the swamp in the dark. He also Witness that when darkness fell, during that lightless day, those scaly heretics tore up the contract and attacked the caravan holding high the flag depicting the red heresy pattern.
In the chaos, he pulled out the sword in his hand, and all the turmoil subsided. Two ferocious heretic corpses appeared in front of him. The Big Claw Priest, who was particularly embarrassed during the attack, changed the way he looked at him and gave A large number of blood mushrooms were purchased to buy the body of the heretic.
Now that he stepped into this city, he had many thoughts, but he was too slow to speak.
This great city seemed to be no different. The sacred hall was also so far away. Far away, he knelt down and stopped moving. That was what an old rat man told him. His way.
Kneel down and worship in the hall of the great god, and pray devoutly, you can become a rat priest, a high-ranking rat priest.
On the next day, the old rat man who taught him this method died while kneeling in worship.
The dead old rat man raised his head high, so unwilling and unwilling.
At the same time, not far away, a young rat man laughed again, almost madly.
Cheers loudly.
"I'm done, I'm a priest, I'm a priest!"
Dancing crazily, the rat man next to him had a look of fear and a humble look on his face, It was as if the two were completely different at this moment.
The dumbfounded Gray Stone just watched all this silently.
At this moment, he seemed to have a lot he wanted to say, but he was stunned but could not say anything.
I continued to kneel down silently, towards the temple of the great god, towards the great palace.
Day by day, new rat pilgrims came here, and old rat pilgrims died. Some were dancing crazily, regardless of success or failure, and some were silent. Die unwillingly.
Grey Stone hugged the rolled up leather in his hand tighter and tighter. As time passed, he hugged him tighter and tighter. For the first time, he felt a little hesitant. This stupid guy had A little hesitant.
Time passed, and day by day passed, and he did not stand up again. He gradually became weaker and thinner, became restless, and became irritable.
It seems that he can no longer complete the tasks entrusted to him by the woolly rat. He feels that it is impossible for him to become a rat priest.
On the seventh day, Gray Stone stood up, his body swaying.
Leave here in despair, leave here in despair, he still hasn’t figured it out, he has too many things that he hasn’t figured out yet.
But he couldn't tell, couldn't tell.
Holding the leather in his hands tightly, he turned away from these fanatical pilgrims and the distant temple of the gods whose appearance was unclear.
Looking so lost and hesitant.
Behind. Another crazy voice sounded.
“I am done! I am done!”
………….
Zheng Qi fell into a camp. He fell into a camp in this new world. He had to start from scratch. After the lightless day, he lost his goal, deviated from the route, and could not find the way back. .
It’s not that there was no gain, I got a vague sea chart, which I got on a human warship.
The human warship with a big hole in the bottom did not escape because of the slowdown in speed. It was caught up by the rat man's bathtub warship. After throwing several rounds of crossbows again, the warship The ship was completely turned into a hornet's nest. The humans on it abandoned the warship and slid the boat towards other human warships. This human warship was also officially captured by the rat people.
The chart was obtained on this human warship. Sheng Qi was frowning at the chart in his hand, standing on a rock on the shore.
Don't underestimate the rat people, their intelligence is not low, especially those who are good enough to become generals and priests.
The strange-looking thing in his hand is not difficult to understand, but Sheng Qi is not particularly difficult to understand the symbols on the map. The severely biased Rat Man Empire has not really given the text until this moment. Created, this brought a great burden to the operation of the Skaven Empire.
However, their level of civilization has long reached the point where they can understand the concept of words.
The Priests of the Great Claw began to carve on stone walls a long time ago to record the metal ratios they discovered. Those War Priests would also inscribe complex structures on leather, and even a set of standard drawing specifications. It was sorted out by the rat priests.
Not only that, business, calendar, mathematics, aesthetics, engineering, a series of things are developing at an extremely fast speed, but a weird, very weird situation has occurred, but on the basis of writing In terms of basic things, the rat people are indifferent, whether it is mobilization or the transmission of news, they still stay in the backward situation of one rat man calling another rat man, and this rat man then telling another rat man.
There was obviously only a layer of window paper between them, but no rat man really tried to break through it.
On the reef, Sheng Qi understood the chart, climbed a cliff, and determined his position through an island group.
He nodded with satisfaction, and then there was no more. He was not interested in the weird patterns engraved by humans on this chart. The left and right were just the patterns of some heretical gods, and it was not enough. Beautiful, not complex enough, not smooth enough.
Using such divine patterns, it is estimated that the heretic god will not be a powerful guy.
This guy who had just breathed a sigh of relief from being skinny and bones even felt a little bit more moody.
This arrogant state is shared by many rat people.
Although this arrogance also made the rat people miss a lot of things, Sheng Qi would not know that the power contained in these things that he dismissed was powerful enough to change many things.
It’s even enough to make the aloof gods drop gifts.
Precious gifts passed him by in his arrogance.
Well, this may be the reason why the rat people never penetrated this layer of window paper. In many times, they missed some changes because of their arrogance.
But for them, such a mentality is not surprising. After all, until now, they are all winners. Victory is everything, and nothing about losers will be in their eyes.
I don’t know when cowardly rat people generally had this mentality, but this attitude is very similar to that guy in Rat Zhan.
As the protagonists of each race, heroes’ actions seem to really affect the future, path, and choices of this race.
On the coast, the Big Claw priests gathered in front of the human warship captured by the ratmen and pointed.
After some appreciation, I gave a very unified opinion. It is not beautiful enough, not complicated enough, not powerful enough, not as good as my own design, in short, it is nothing.
The Big Claw Priests shook their heads in front of the warship, wondering how they, the guys who tinkered with the bathtub warship, had such big faces.
Even though the development of science and technology has a large number of branches, in terms of battleships, the bathtub battleship is also a complete freak, a design that should never be used.
But it was tricked out by these unreliable guys.
It can be said that most of Sheng Qi’s torture along the way was due to this damn thing created by these guys.
But what is very helpless is that, at least in terms of marine technology, this group of unreliable guys still have the absolute say in the Rat Empire. The entire Rat Empire only has Sheng Qi’s Western Expedition. The army will go to sea.
The only people in charge of science and technology in the Western Expeditionary Force are this group of big-claw priests who believe in the spirit of the ore.
It can be predicted that the warship style of the rat people will be soaring all the way on the bathtub battleship style.
It cannot be said to be a good thing, or it is not a good thing at all.
But it should be impossible to reverse it for the time being.
………….
The three scales were cherished and sent out of the barren mountains.
Being sent to the vast grassland, being sent to the forged metal road, will eventually reach the New World, and be delivered to the hands of Rat Zhan.
This is something that Long Paw offered to the white rat. Long Paw, who regained his senses, immediately came to the white rat and lowered his head. He was not as arrogant as Rat Zhan, or even if Even the arrogant guy from Rat Zhan has to bow his head in front of White Rat.
These three scales were given as chips to prove their worth.
Waiting anxiously for the white rat's response, the white rat did not hang him to death or send him to the altar. His playful eyes fell on the long paws that tightened his body.
Even though Long Claws has initially completed the leap, he is still afraid in front of the white mouse and his body is shaking unconsciously. The white mouse does not hide his aging, but as he ages, his aura becomes stronger and stronger. It's so overwhelming that people can't breathe.
White Rat accepted the chips offered by Long Claws. Long Claws was very smart. He knew who was the most conspicuous thorn in the Rat Man Empire now, so he sent the scales away. There was also a grudge between him and Rat Zhan.
Of the three scales, two are ordinary and one is deep and dark.
Long Paw believes that Mouse Zhan will not refuse this gift. This is a real gift and real power. Even if he does not accept it, after White Mouse gives these things away, Mouse Zhan will use them. Will definitely use it.
No matter what the situation is then, my research will continue, relying on the rat war. In the rat man empire, the rat war is the best material and the perfect ladder. No matter these God's Abandoned Scales will What changes will it bring to Rat War?
They will all become his ladder, because the real seed, the real heart of God is firmly held in his hands, and it will only be his.
When returning to the abyss, the long-clawed face put on that hideous smile without knowing it. Of course, this is not surprising, he is already a madman.
By the way, in addition to these three scales, Long Claw also gave another thing. The mother version of the skinned giant rat was also among those who gave away things, but compared to this Three Abandoned Scales of God, the mother version of this skinned giant rat is really nothing.
