Chapter 1199 121. Ratman Artisan
Gail cooperated to remove the evil spell, leaving behind a ratman who was incontinent and fell to the ground twitching.
Annan had little sympathy for it. The guards said that it was the most ferocious and almost bit the bakery owner's wife.
He walked up to the rat-man craftsmen: "Who is your leader?"
"Annan is a human being that the elders value, and his words are equal to mine." Gale's words floated from behind him Come.
A figure came out among the rat men.
The Skaven of Stun are closer to humans in size than other clans, except for the Skaven craftsmen who stay in the underground hive all day long.
However, it can also be said that the Sturn Ratmen are following the path of blood. They will mate with whatever race they need, and then select excellent genes through continuous breeding...
Maria is the product of this system, as are the rat craftsmen, but not all Gale, so She also retains many of her Skaven traits.
Without the cover of the cloak, the rat-man craftsman's huge, deformed arms were exposed in front of his eyes, and his muscles almost squeezed his head.
"Human thing..." Even the rat-man's characteristic high-pitched voice became thicker.
"My name is Annan."
"Annan stuff..."
Annan always has a high tolerance for people with skills and doesn't mind being called that. , just smiled and asked: "What's your name?"
"No, name."
Annan asked about other things: "You took the rat people out to do bad things?"
The leader of the rat craftsmen shook his head.
"Since it's not you, why don't you stop them?"
"Why, stop them?" the leader of the rat craftsmen asked.
"Because..."
Annan was speechless and did not dwell on the issue.
"This is the territory of human gadgets. You should know that humans and rat people are different. For example, we will not attack each other, nor will we snatch each other..."
"Rat people too No."
"Then why do you..."
"Because you are human things." The words of the leader of the rat craftsmen suddenly became smooth.
Annan was speechless and even wanted Gale to continue.
"Forget it this time, because you don't know anything, but if something like this happens again, there will be legal punishment from Liberty City... I think Gale and the elders will also be on my side."
Gail walked up to Annan in time and stared at this group of lowly brown rats with arrogance.
The Skaven craftsmen expressed their submission.
“Luoxi, send someone to count the damaged shops and ask them to ask the city lord for compensation.”
Annan asked the rat craftsmen again: "Do you know what you are going to do?"
The leader of the rat craftsmen shook his head.
“I haven’t told them yet,” Gale said.
"Then follow me first."
They all just finished breakfast, and Annan took them directly to the forest mountains. In the next few months, these rat craftsmen will stay here.
"The place you are going to next is the reason why I invited you here... It is a secret project of Liberty City, please keep it secret." Annan and the rat craftsmen said.
Annan didn't know which one of them was the undercover agent installed by the rat man elders, but if he wanted them to work willingly, he had to let them know that they were involved in a secret. "You are the same as other workers, with a daily salary of 2 to 3 silver coins and a twelve-hour rest period every day. The only thing you need to pay attention to is abiding by the laws of the Free City."
Payment— —This is a temporary decision made by Annan. It doesn't cost much to pay a hundred more people's wages, but in exchange the ratmen who have the money need to spend it, and to spend money, they need to come into contact with humans. Only by contacting humans can they have a chance to be changed by the Free City.
Arriving at the busy construction site, Yili has already led the workers to set up temporary sheds.
The arrival of the ratmen caused the workers to watch, but they were informed last night that a group of ratmen colleagues would be coming, so they just watched curiously.
Eli, who was like a tree stump, was coming this way. Annan looked at the figure beside him and suddenly let out a light sigh.
"Little Small?"
"Master Annan..." Little Small saluted when Annan called out his name.
“Why are you here?”
Annan remembered that Little Small stayed at the Free Blade, and the eldest sister liked his leadership skills and arranged to study in the school.
“I found that I like the feeling of clanking in the mine.” Little Small smiled shyly.
Annan wants to say that tunneling is different from mining, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be no difference.
The dignified commander of the Blades of Freedom, dressed in Fast clothes, came to work as a hard worker. Annan suspected that he was suffering from traumatic stress syndrome...
But Little Small appeared again. The appearance of Vice enjoying it.
Confirming that he was sane, Annan handed the rat man to Eli and stayed aside to watch the tunnel excavation work.
Annan was curious about what the rat craftsmen used to dig holes. They didn't have sharp claws, so they couldn't be rodents, right?
Then he saw the rat craftsmen walking to the basket they carried, lifting the tarp, and taking out the gauntlets with three sharp metal picks from inside, putting them on their hands, and stood In front of the rock wall, layers of debris were scraped off like logging, at an alarming speed.
The digging speed of these one hundred rat-man craftsmen is enough to match eight hundred human workers... But then I thought about it, they are craftsmen of the rat-man clan, not hard laborers, and it is normal to have some skills.
The width of the tunnel is limited. Seeing how capable they are, Yili decisively transferred all the rat craftsmen to be the main force and excavated with all their strength. The human workers were responsible for sending out sand and gravel and widening and strengthening the tunnel.
The workers were also divided into day shift and night shift, and with the participation of rat craftsmen, Eli Gravel assured Annan that soldiers from Liberty City would be able to reach Franco territory directly before the autumn harvest.
"Don't say it so harshly, Franco Territory is our trading partner." Annan corrected.
Seeing baskets of rubble being transported out of the tunnel, Annan couldn't help but feel hot in his eyes.
Such talents...should belong in Liberty City!
……
The same fiery gaze also appeared on Little Small.
While he stared at the rat craftsmen, the workers who had been with him for several days were also staring at him.
"Little Small, you...you can actually talk to Lord Annan?"
"I did some things for Lord Annan when I was in the kingdom." Little Small said modestly, Be proud of it, but don't show off.
But it was enough for the workers to make a fuss and shout.
What else did they want to ask, and Yili came over: "How about giving you a task to look after the rat craftsmen?"
"Me?" Little Small pointed at himself.
"Aren't you curious about the Skaven Craftsmen? I'll give you a chance to observe." Eli obviously knew that he had a former Freedom Blade commander under his command, and noticed his curiosity.
“Can you do it?”
“Leave it to me!”
Yili was pleased with Little Small's spirit, pointed to his clothes and added: "You should change your clothes before you go there. Rat people are more... snobbish. If you dress like civilians, they won't listen to you."< br>
