Chapter 265, Starry Sky Mushroom
In this grand sacrifice, Rat War is no longer the absolute protagonist.
The rat men gathered one by one and offered their own sacrifices to the gods, performing their own small sacrifices in this rather grand ceremony.
But there is no doubt that the sacrifice given by Rat War is the most eye-catching.
Heads with different expressions were built in Jingguan, magic knights in gorgeous armor were hung high, slaves were pulled onto the altar one after another, and hot blood was filled into the newly excavated A pool of blood and precious blue eyes piled up in the center of the square.
In this grand scene, the sacrifice officially began.
Shouting loudly, countless rat men knelt down in pious and fanatical ways at this moment.
The great gods did not send blessings, but no rat people were struggling with this issue at this moment.
The humble guys felt honored just to participate in this grand sacrifice.
The rat war is also enjoying this moment.
Raising the flag high, amidst the fanatical shouts of the mountains roaring like a tsunami.
………….
There are still many problems faced by the Eastern Expeditionary Force, or in other words, there are still many problems faced by the Rat War.
The rat lords gathered together again, and the two sides quarreled fiercely.
This time, the quarrel between Rat Zhan and the Rat Lords was even more intense than the last negotiation, but the unstable magic power fluctuations no longer echoed in the camp.
Now it’s really time for consultation.
In the camp, at this moment, Shu Zhan was slapping the table with red eyes.
A loud roar.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
With red eyes.
But the negotiations between the two parties came to a conclusion very quickly.
After losing the help of the Rat Man Lord, even though those blue eyes were indeed precious, Rat Zhan could not sell even one.
He has no channels, no caravans, and no way to promote these blue eyes.
In fact, for something to sell well in the Skaven Empire, quality alone is not enough. The extremely vain Skaven Priests Big Claw Priests would rather spend a lot of blood mushrooms to buy a piece of inferior leather. , and will not throw blood mushrooms on another piece of excellent quality leather.
Just add an illusory name to the inferior leather.
For example, from enemies of gods, from powerful heretics.
And those rat mercenary captains, rat farmers, and workshop owners are even more fanatical about things that are related to gods and sought after by rat priests.
If we use this standard, these magic eyeballs produced by the Nether Eye Human Race are simply the best things. After all, the Nether Eye Human Race is not an ordinary heresy.
Such a description seems easy to add, but it is a pity that Shu Zhan does not have any qualifications in this matter, and the right to interpret beliefs has always had nothing to do with Shu Zhan.
That’s not what he said.
The right to interpret religion is now occupied by two groups, the rat priests and the temple guards.
Coincidentally, the relationship between Rat War and these two groups is quite average. I can’t say how good it is, I can only say it is very bad.
In the end of the dispute, Rat War still had the upper hand. This guy was a rogue and would really do things that were harmful to others and not beneficial to himself. He would rather shelve the trophies and let them rot than let them go. .
Faced with this situation, the rat lords gave in. A new trade route was about to fall, which may be called the Eye Road. After all, the most precious product of the Dark Eye tribe has been determined. , those are the faint blue vertical pupils.
The Rat Lords offered a high price, probably giving 60% of the profits to Rat War.
This makes them beat their chests.
A blue eyeball departs from the main continent. As long as it is successfully brought back to the vast grassland, the profit will increase at least a hundred times. But this is not the end. In fact, the vast grassland is far away. It is far from the most prosperous area of the Rat Empire.
If this blue eyeball continues to move forward and can be taken to the underground rat city, the profit will jump a thousand times.
This is the reason why the rat lords spend a lot of energy and resources and do not spare any effort to maintain caravan exchanges.
And now, as soon as Shu Zhan opened his mouth, he wanted to take 60% of the profits on this route.
Both parties are dissatisfied with this result.
Rat War wants to eat them all but Rat Man Lord is not satisfied with such a high ratio of plumpness.
It’s just that both sides are holding the other side’s neck tightly.
Such an agreement was initially reached through mutual compromise.
The influence is far-reaching.
The fall of the agreement will promote the continuation of the war, because in addition to faith, the high profits are also the driving force for the war machine to move forward.
………….
The rat people completely occupied Mountain Dew City.
This huge city has not been completely destroyed. Even if you just vent your anger and want to completely destroy such a huge city into ruins, it is not easy, and it is really strenuous. Something to please.
But the arrival of the rat people is not a good thing for the city.
The endless rat-men have replaced humans and become residents of this city, wandering in every corner of the city.
This city is not simple. As the center of a prosperous human province, a super giant city with a long history, the things listed in the city are already a valuable asset.
Not to mention the huge library in the center of the city, nor the human enchanted weapon workshop next to the city wall.
Just the clinics scattered throughout the neighborhoods, the bulky magic machines that were abandoned on the streets and stained with blood, and the strange stone pillars in the ground that can solidify the earth.
Each of these messy things has great value.
But how can I put it, the rat people once again demonstrated their ability to destroy everything.
The library was set on fire, and countless pieces of knowledge written on paper dissipated into the heaven and earth with the flames.
It’s not just that.
The magic workshop experienced plunder and looting as soon as the rat people invaded the city.
Those precious forging hammers engraved with fine magic patterns were robbed by the young ratmen, various forged weapons, half-forged armors, various parts, not to mention how many of these, large machinery , magic circuits, magic pools, everything has become the object of snatching by the rat people.
The screws of the machine were removed, and the magic circuits embedded in the wall and engraved in the metal were removed. Not only that, these guys even tore down the bricks that built the magic pool one by one and robbed them all.
Although these are understandable, after all, those weird-sized mechanical parts and the faintly glowing magic circuits are indeed very attractive to young rat people.
But it is really a waste of natural resources.
This is a really good thing. The magic pool can be regarded as the pinnacle of Youyan human magic craftsmanship, and it can be regarded as a small artificial magic core. It can automatically absorb magic elements in the air and provide connected equipment and magic structures.
It's just a restricted world. The magic power in the previous world was too thin. Even if this thing was created early, the magic power it could output was not good.
But the situation is different now.
The tide of magic is continuously pouring magic into this small world.
There are only two such magic pools in the entire Mountain Dew City.
One set fell in the Magic Workshop, and the other set fell in the Golden Wheatfield Academy.
Golden Wheatfield Academy was not ransacked by the ratmen immediately. As a serious magic academy, the various magic traps and defensive measures were obviously not just a decoration.
It just didn’t last long.
During the test of the rat people, a big-clawed priest drove the huge trebuchet over. During the continuous bombardment, a hole was quickly opened in the college wall.
This time the sacking of the Golden Wheatfield Academy involved the participation of the Big Claw Priests. These guys are much more knowledgeable than the young ratmen and rat warriors. They just buried the magic pool underground in the center of the academy. Still did not escape the end of being torn into bricks.
The disassembly this time was not smooth, but the bricks that built the magic pool were very attractive to the rat people.
The silver-white material is engraved with complex patterns. Once you look at it, you just can't take your eyes away.
During the disassembly process, something seemed to intensify.
The magic power gathered in the magic pool is rapidly going berserk, and a young ratman is brutally dismantling the parts of the magic pool.
Intensified the process.
Violent magic spread out, covering this area.
At this moment, the young rat man finally disassembled a silver cube engraved with complex patterns. Before he could make the next move, the violent magic that filled the area overwhelmed him.
Not long after, a rat-man statue made of turbid crystals appeared underground in the center of the Golden Wheat Field Academy.
The Great Claw Priest ignored the violently dismantled magic pool. As soon as he got in through the hole in the wall, he was attracted by the half-finished golem displayed in the corner of the academy, showing its internal structure. , the densely packed gears bite together, which is very eye-catching at a glance.
Faced with such a complex mechanical structure, the big-clawed priest carried forward his good habits and started to get started on the spot, disassembling gears and twisting joints.
It’s just that this set of magical equipment tinkered by the Nether-Eyed Human Race is really incompatible with the traditions and routes of the rat people. It is too delicate and complicated. Faced with the large and small gears, it will soon become a big problem. The claw priest was dumbfounded. He could take it off but couldn't put it back on.
Not long after, an angry guy kicked hard on the gears piled on the ground, but the flesh and blood obviously couldn't hit the metal head-on, and he let out a painful whine.
Soon, a limping guy gritted his teeth and lit the flame.
The flame was ignited in the Golden Wheatfield Academy.
The rat people have never had such respect for the heretical knowledge and creations. Perhaps these structures, golems, and these liberated magic pools have not really entered the battlefield, giving these arrogant people Guy a tough lesson.
These are not the only things that were destroyed.
What Golden Wheatfield Academy has always been good at is not the research and development of various war machines, constructs, and magic technology.
Agriculture is what they are good at.
A group of young rat men broke into a constant-temperature greenhouse.
Dots of bright light appeared in front of them, attracting the attention of this team of rat men. The protective measures outside this greenhouse were surprisingly good. Even after problems occurred in the magic pool that supplied energy, they could still continue. operation.
This team of ratmen spent a lot of effort to break in, but what caught their eyes was somewhat ordinary.
A cluster of mushrooms, a cluster of mushrooms growing on rotten wood. There is nothing else in this greenhouse. There are only these densely growing mushrooms. If you look carefully, the most eye-catching part of these mushrooms is the umbrella cover. The stars are dotted with glowing spots.
These mushrooms worked together to light up the greenhouse.
But mushrooms are far from being a strange thing to rat people, even glowing mushrooms.
The rat man who took the lead picked up a glowing mushroom and stuffed it into his mouth without even thinking about it.
It was not poisonous, but the rat man who tasted the glowing mushroom had an expression of disgust on his face, and he spit out the mushroom in his mouth.
This damn thing reminded him of the sun-dried cave mushroom, a disgusting thing that he would never want to eat again.
The rough claws of the hands kept scratching the tongue. In this moment of abundance, even the appetites of the low-level rat people were gradually being developed. Except for the slave rats, there were almost no rat people to eat those big claws. The dry and difficult cave mushrooms produced by the priests are dry.
It’s just that this abundance doesn’t last long, the momentary abundance is about to end.
The mage who cultivated these glowing mushrooms noticed this, and also noticed the darkness that had not dissipated for a long time.
If the darkness continues, the problem may be serious. Obviously, the wheat, barley and rye that the Dark Eye tribe relies on are not the kind of crops that can thrive in the dark.
This is a very capable mage.
We were aware of this problem and responded to it in a very short period of time.
These mushrooms are his solution.
It must be said that even though this huge human empire is decayed, it still has many geniuses.
As soon as the sky darkened, some people started to worry.
Although the leader of the team of ratmen who broke into the greenhouse was not satisfied with the mushroom in his hand, even if the spotted mushroom fell to the ground, it did not escape and was chopped severely.
The rats cursed and left.
I don’t know if the mage who cultivated this mushroom survived in the end. He was really unlucky. The rat people came and killed him. This huge city was captured. He carefully cultivated these mushrooms to deal with the darkness. They were also trampled on casually by these guys.
Where the mushrooms grew, there was a sign scattered on the ground, with a name engraved on it, Starry Sky Mushroom.
The team of rat men leaving the greenhouse were hit by the terrifying heat wave that spread from the flames that filled the Golden Wheatfield Academy.
The fire-fighting measures deployed in the academy also lost their effectiveness after the magic pool went out of control.
The flames spread wantonly, and the rat people running around the academy also began to flee in a hurry as the flames spread. The initiator of all this was a limping priest with a big claw.
After doing all this, he seemed to have a little regret. He was still waving his arms, still thinking and recalling the structure he had just seen, but now it was obvious that there was no chance to observe again.
These guys are still so rude and brutal.
A terrifying explosion appeared in the center of Golden Wheatfield Academy, and the out-of-control magic pool finally led to the simplest and most direct result.
With a bang, everything nearby was blown up to the sky.
The Golden Wheatfield Academy was directly destroyed in half by the bombing, and all kinds of messy and precious things inside were also sent to the sky.
The rat people are still so rude, brutal, arrogant and wasteful.
This is such a waste.
I don’t know who I learned it from.
