Chapter 273, The Background of the Rat People
The handover between the old and new eras does not just happen to the Rat People.
What kind of city is this.
The resurgent elemental tide really brings too many possibilities.
Every design that was originally unrealistic and abandoned in the corner began to shine.
Element core, general access, element siphon technology, of course, these are too high-end and cannot be perceived by everyone.
For ordinary people of the Dark Eyes, these things are the same as the giant crucible of the dark mage in the story. They are incomprehensible, have strange effects, are dangerous and mysterious.
But not all magical creations are like this.
The magic lamp is one of the most typical existences.
An uncomplicated structure that only requires a semi-constant spell. The most inconspicuous illumination spell can bloom light long-lasting and stably. There is no technical threshold, but it is not here. On that day over the long years, light blossomed on a truly massive scale.
With a simple structure and extremely low threshold, any magic apprentice can easily make it. However, there is a problem that cannot be ignored. If you want to keep the magic lamp bright for a long time, it must have magic power at all times. Through the semi-constant spell structure.
In the past, the Youyan human race could not do this.
But now, this is not a particularly big problem.
The dazzling and constant light dispelled the darkness, and the entire city was covered with magic lamps.
The city called the sun by the Youyan people shines like the sun for the first time.
Everything is changing, in the surging elemental tide, not only the Youyan human race, the underground rat city, but also the dark abyss.
A revolution has also entered the brewing stage.
The Rat People are not as naturally sensitive to elements as the Dark-Eyed Humans, nor have they accumulated anything over the long years.
Those tiny traces are engraved in history, all kinds of whimsical thoughts, and the sighs of countless sages. What is left behind is the heritage of the Youyan human race.
This is something the rat people don’t have.
Their history begins with encounters with the great gods, and so does their progress.
Besides the boundless rats and the monstrous killings, the only traces of the rat people are the piles of corpses.
The underground rat city was also affected by the famine caused by the rat priests, but the affected objects were very limited, and it did not even involve slave rats. After all, slave rats were protected property.
In this huge and extremely twisted sacred city, the group of pilgrim ratmen faced this crisis head-on.
They are all Du Yuan's most devout believers, but they are the only ones facing this crisis.
During this period of time, the birth of rat priests reached a peak, because these guys didn't have much choice. They could either kneel down and pray for the god's favor before starving to death, or they would really starve to death.
Unexpectedly, the pilgrims were not shocked, but became more and more fanatical.
The body is emaciated, the flesh is close to the bones, ferocious and ugly, but it is still kneeling attentively and shouting piously. Even if the crisis is over, all kinds of food that have become cheap due to hoarding have begun to circulate again.
But they still chose hunger, not for such a complicated reason.
In hunger and desperate measures, more rat priests were born than usual, that's all.
This is an unproven answer, but it is regarded as a guideline by these guys, and they are imitated and practiced enthusiastically.
Maybe it’s because I have no choice but to kneel down for a long time, travel across mountains and rivers, and travel such a long distance. I really don’t want to accept the reality that I am a talentless person.
They are so religious, they are willing to do anything.
O God! Why don't you give me a favor? Why don't you give me a favor?
In this accumulation of thoughts, even death is no longer so scary. Even if I witness my body getting weaker day by day, and witness the slow passage of life in my body, this process is not So scary. Death even becomes a kind of relief, until the moment of death, there will be a smile on the face, but in the hallucination before death, most of them become a real rat priest.
The life of the Rat Man is meaningless.
Dead pilgrims will be thrown into the dark abyss by the guards in the city.
This is a sacred city, and eating each other is not allowed.
At least it is not allowed on the surface.
Of course, these guys, these pilgrims are not the protagonists of the revolution, they are just a bunch of pathetic lunatics.
Not all rat people firmly believe that they can achieve what they want in that extreme pain.
Not everyone even believes that they can become a Skaven Priest.
If you don't become a rat priest, you are doomed to be reduced to a humble rat running around in the dark corners of this huge and twisted city.
Free people, free people, they are said to be free people. But in the eyes of the real big figures in the Rat Man Empire, these guys are just a group of wild rats without the right to belong.
This is a dangerous thing, after all, the death of a lowly guy is a normal thing.
But I can’t die, not yet.
During this period of time, Gray Stone has experienced many things in the underground rat city. The blood mushrooms in his hands have been exhausted. The hope of becoming a rat priest is so slim, but the leather scroll in his hands has been killed. Hold on and never let go.
No blood mushrooms means no food.
Without food, you can only go to death.
He can't die yet.
He came to the abyss, and on this continent of flesh and blood, he began to chew the emaciated corpses of pilgrims in order to survive.
This is not decent, and there is no more hope. This stupid guy is just persisting in his own way as usual.
Although it is a little different from usual.
Usually, he just obeyed blankly, but now he really wants to do it.
He didn't want to let that guy down, even if he was dead.
The dumb guy chewed the arm in his hand.
It’s not impossible.
Greystone witnessed a very special scene.
The flesh-and-blood earth squirmed in front of him, as if alive, swallowing the emaciated corpse of a pilgrim.
Faintly, you can hear a fanatical call and a burst of blue light.
This is a very special scene. Fortunately, this stupid guy seized this opportunity.
The rat people don’t have much background, and the piled corpses are also an important part of it.
The dumb guy dropped his arm and tried to explore the pile of flesh and blood.
Although what will be created in the end is still unknown.
