Chapter 399, Rat Man Code
But he still decided to do this.
The eyes slowly fell from the height.
Landing on the towering flame-spewing furnace, countless ratmen were currently active for this sacrificial ceremony.
Densely packed, gathering from all directions.
Not limited to identity or status, noble or humble, so many rat people gathered here.
This is a very incredible scene. After all, theoretically speaking, all kinds of rat men have conflicts that are difficult to eliminate. There is no need to provoke their differences. They want to kill each other and fight to the death.
This is the Rat People, a plate of mud and a plate of loose sand, but unfortunately, they are able to come together at this moment to carry out a big thing.
Only the great god can do all this, and all of this depends on the faith of that great god.
But he just wanted to see more.
In the long night, he stretched out his claws, and from a distance, he seemed to catch all the rat people gathered in front of him, and he caught all the rat people in his hands.
Is this an offense to the great gods? Maybe, after all, there is always such a contradiction between divine power and royal power.
It's just very lucky that at this moment, when this ambitious guy is about to take the most critical step, a guy is also watching all this.
Du Yuan has been witnessing the history of the rat people and the history of these noisy guys.
………….
Grand sacrifice, grand sacrifice, blood, corpses, hot molten iron, cheers, and the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.
The leader of the temple guards stepped onto the high platform.
Raising their arms high and shouting loudly, all kinds of guys gathered in the audience.
Today is a great day.
Today is the first step towards the expected future.
This guy, this guy who often hides behind all the ratmen, is indeed the best person to inherit the position of high priest.
Not because of anything else, the arrogance is exactly the same.
Looking at him on the high platform.
In a trance, the figure of the white mouse vaguely overlapped with his.
It’s all like this, it’s not driven by the times, nor is it obedient to the times.
Instead, he jumped up arrogantly.
All the Skaven seem to be just pawns in the hands of such a guy.
Seeking what they want to see.
The towering furnace began to collapse in the flames. In the hot flames, pieces collapsed, and a dark clock appeared in front of all the rat men gathered here.
The flame has not been extinguished, but it has begun to dim after leaving the towering furnace.
But the other flame began to burn vigorously.
Shouting loudly.
The sacrifices were carried onto the high platform one by one, and blood continued to spatter on the crude bell embryo.
But everything is not so smooth.
One by one, the sacrifices and their corpses were piled neatly on the high platform, and the blood spattered extinguished the flame on the bell embryo.
The surrounding rat people gradually became silent.
From day to night.
The leader of the temple guards stood motionless on the high platform for a long time.
This guy wants to truly create a rat-man empire.
But he fell on the first step.
The rat people are so deeply bound to the great gods that no one can disobey this set of rules without the approval of the great gods.
Under such circumstances, the rat people are destined to revolve around the gods.
In order to open a hole, he chose to use the Cold Soul Giant Bell as the breakthrough. As long as the Cold Soul Giant Bell is willing to admit this code, it is equivalent to tearing a hole.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to offer such a grand war sacrifice.
It's just a pity that something seems to have gone wrong.
The cold soul giant bell did not respond.
This grand sacrifice from morning to night did not receive any response.
It all seems to be turning into a bleak farce.
It can only be said that they really chose the wrong person to worship. The Lenghun Giant Bell was too lazy. Before, Du Yuan was trapped in the high sky with those group of demigods. During the stalemate, the Cold Soul Giant Bell was still somewhat active.
But now, except for the bell ringing at a fixed time every day, this guy almost doesn't respond to anything from the outside world.
One grand sacrifice may attract Xiaochun's visit, but ten grand sacrifices probably won't make this guy move even one more point.
This is a sacrifice that is destined to fail, until a guy can't stand it anymore.
In the barren mountains, the underground rat city, in the original temple, on the top of the pyramid in the blood pool, a big clock shook its body lazily.
The time is almost up and it is about to knock itself.
As for the sacrifice offered to it, it had already sensed it, but it was just too lazy to move.
But inexplicably, a bad feeling appeared in its heart.
I always felt like I would be unlucky if I refused that sacrifice.
This lazy guy muttered this in his heart, but obviously, as a clock, he didn't think he could be unlucky, so this premonition was completely ignored.
The sacrifice was about to end, and the connection passed through it was getting weaker and weaker, so it was better not to disturb him.
Just when he was about to stretch his body and ring his own bell to announce the arrival of a new day.
Suddenly, a crack opened behind it, and then a big foot kicked out. It couldn't make any response at all, and the cold soul giant bell flew out like this.
In the series of crisp sounds caused by the dragging, this lazy guy flew out.
Of course, in order to be afraid that this guy would destroy something, a crack was deliberately opened in front of him. When the Cold Soul Giant Bell passed through this crack and reappeared, it was already on the barren mountain range. In the sky, the momentum continued unabated, and this guy turned into a meteor, streaking across the sky.
In front of Prairie City.
When the confused Leng Hun Juzhong appeared here in an attitude hanging high in the sky. Everything continues.
The guy on the high platform was finally able to take his final step.
Shouting loudly from the high platform.
Shout out such a sentence.
“I will drop the code at this time, witnessed by the sacred bell!”
The rat people began to chant loudly.
Probably more than 90% of the guys gathered here don’t know what this sacrifice is for, nor do they understand what this so-called code is.
But this does not prevent them from shouting randomly at this moment.
After all, a real miracle, it did happen like this.
Of course, not everyone is so happy. Those rat lords look like they are mourning their concubines. Obviously, since such a code fell, they have completely guarded the temple. I can't stand up straight in front of me.
How can this not make them depressed?
Besides them, the ones with a somewhat strange expression were the two limping guys.
With the combined effect of large doses of blood mushrooms, trauma mushrooms, and various strange supplies, Qi and Heimao were finally able to get up before this grand sacrifice and limped here to participate. Watch the ceremony.
At this time, they no longer looked like they were dying just now.
The two limping guys withdrew their eyes from the miracle in front of them and looked at each other, only to find that there was something inexplicable in each other's eyes.
It's just that this strangeness didn't show up for a long time. Soon, the two guys withdrew their gaze and made a respectful expression.
The dull blood color and gray shell on the bell embryo are peeling off little by little.
The pieces fell off and began to shine. Apart from the complex patterns that had been hung since its birth, the code of law was the thing that occupied the largest space of this big clock.
Its existence is equivalent to a certificate, which is enough for the ambitious guy to do what he wants to do.
But long after the sacrificial ceremony ended, the cold soul giant bell hanging high in the sky did not dare to leave.
Obviously, it has an inexplicable shadow over today's events.
But if it does not leave, then this sacrificial ceremony will not end.
Although the rat people didn't have any objections to this, they knelt down on the ground one by one, raised their heads high, and looked like they wished they could carve the cold soul giant bell in the sky into their eyes. .
Until that day officially turns to night, and a new day begins.
The cold soul giant bell rang itself unconsciously, and the clear sound of the bell washed everywhere, and everything was over.
The cold soul giant bell disappeared here. Soon after, it was able to return to the original temple, but it no longer dared to be so lazy. For a period of time, the clear bell that washed the desolate mountains was much clearer.
It's a pity that this diligence only lasted for a short period of time.
After the Imperial Code was officially put down, the temple guards began to carry out large-scale construction.
New rat cities were built by them, and the abandoned rat cities were repaired.
A new set of rules has fallen on this land.
And it's not the same as the previous rules. This set of rules not only includes the slave rats, free rat people, big-claw priests, but even rat priests, rat lords, and even the last temple guards. Within the constraints of the rules.
This is a hard thing to imagine.
Although this set of rules is not that fair, it even clearly engraves the status gap between the rat people.
If a slave rat kills another slave rat, the killing slave rat will be sentenced to hanging.
But if a free ratman kills a slave rat, he only needs to pay a certain amount of blood mushrooms as compensation.
In this way, it was passed up level by level, until the last rat lord and temple guard.
Many of the entries are very interesting. For example, in the entry about slave rats, it is written that if two slave rats belonging to the same rat slave owner commit murder, then the rat slave owner will You can use fewer Blood Mushrooms to absolve your slave of the guilt of killing another of your slaves.
This is a very interesting entry. The root of it is obviously to separate the absolute dominance of the rat slave owners over the slave rats.
There are many such entries, and the targets include all kinds of rat people.
The plot is also very simple. Such a code almost breaks out the various things and rights that the big figures in the Rat Man Empire originally owned, without directly erasing them. , but summarized it into the imperial code.
I have to admit that this code is still very rough.
But the guy who wrote about him is also extremely bold and arrogant.
He dismantled all the rat people included in this land, no matter who they were, and dismantled the rights in their hands one by one, including himself, dismantled these rights one by one, and summarized them into in this sacred code.
Although there seems to be no difference at first glance.
For example, there is such an article in this imperial code.
If slave rats and rat free people offend the rat lord, then the rat lord has the right to execute the offending slave rats and rat free people.
Such an article seems to be like this before and now.
After all, if the rat lord wanted to execute the slave rats and rat free people who offended him, it seemed that he could easily hang these guys up in the past.
This is a right that has always existed. The existence of this regulation only gives this right a transit place.
It seems there is no difference, but is it really so?
Obviously, the leader of the temple guards would not do something useless, and after going through so much trouble, he would not just tinker with something useless.
What is needed is such a transfer. It seems that this is just an extremely useless thing, but in fact it is.
The things that the rat lord can do at any time, after such a transition, no longer belong to the rat lord's rights, but become rights granted by the imperial code.
What they were originally able to do, with such a simple transformation, became the rights granted by the imperial code.
At this time, you have to understand why the first thing the temple guards have to do before preparing for this sacrifice is to eliminate the instability in the scarlet grassland.
First there were the rioting group of slave rats, rat gangsters, and rat ghouls, and then there were these rat warlords and the armies in their hands.
There is no shortage of smart people among the rat people. Of course they know what this code represents. If they do not take the lead in cleaning up these rat warlords, then I am afraid that as soon as the imperial code falls, a The civil war is about to start first.
In order to prevent this bad scene from happening, the temple guards were very decisive and direct in selecting these rat warlords as sacrifices and inviting those rat lords to the viewing platform. Taiwan, after a tragic massacre, there was also the sacrifice that gave birth to a miracle.
By doing all this, they can push forward this code.
Everything is to build momentum, and now, this momentum has been built up.
The leader of the temple guards standing on the high platform glanced at the group of rat lords, and what he saw was a group of guys with extremely gloomy faces.
In this way, he is qualified to promote all this.
