From Skaven to God-King of War - #244 - Chapter 242, Distorted Technology Tree
Gray Stone came to this city, this city that was always mentioned by every rat man, this sacred city.
Carrying that roll of leather, dusty, embarrassed, and exhausted. Along the way, in many cities passed by, many rat people wanted to join this journey, and some shed a lot of blood on their hands. Mushrooms, some weak and skinny, begged, begged the big-clawed priest who led the team.
The weak and thin ones are often the more devout believers of that god, and they beg just to get to that place, that city.
More and more rat-men are born in each rat-man city, but at the same time, more and more rat-men are getting 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, the rat war didn’t expect it, the temple guards didn’t expect it, and even the white rats 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, this rat people The first city founded simply declined.
Instead, it is lifted high, lifted high, made holy, made beautiful.
But is it really more different from other rat cities?
not at all.
Ratmen’s cities are nothing more than that, with chaotic underground tunnels or regular underground tunnels. In short, they are all repetitive scenery.
They are all those dark, narrow underground tunnels.
But why, why was the Underground Rat City lifted 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 position , let him choose a place to climb to the top, and that place will not be any other, it will definitely be 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, only it can carry the most supreme imagination.
When the gods were around, 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.
Although the rat people have become the overlords of this area, for the entire rat people group, the individual and scattered rat people have always been the most despicable existence.
Even a weak 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 path of faith is strewn with filth, the faith is strewn with filth.
Gray Stone 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. At that time, during the lightless day, the scaled 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.
There seemed to be no difference in this great city, and 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.
Kneel down before the hall of the great god and pray devoutly, and you can become a rat priest, a high-ranking rat priest.
But the next day, the old rat man who taught him this method died while kneeling.
The dead old rat man raised his head high, so unwilling and unwilling.
At the same time, not far away, a young rat man burst into laughter that was almost crazy.
Loud cheers.
“I am finished, I am a priest, I am a priest!”
Dancing his body crazily, the rat man next to him had a fearful look on his face and a humble look, 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 dumbfounded and couldn’t say anything.
Silently, he continued to kneel down, 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 of them danced their bodies crazily. Regardless of whether they succeeded or not, some died in silence with reluctance.
Gray Stone hugged the rolled up leather in his hands tighter and tighter. As time passed, he hugged him tighter and tighter. For the first time, he felt a little hesitant, and this stupid guy felt 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.
He seemed unable to complete the task entrusted to him by the woolly rat. He felt that it would be impossible for him to become a rat priest.
On the seventh day, Gray Stone stood up, his body swaying.
He left in despair, left here in despair, he still hadn’t figured it out, there were too many things he hadn’t figured out.
But he couldn’t say it, couldn’t say it.
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.
He looked so lost and confused.
behind.
Another crazy voice sounded.
“I am done! I am done!”
………….
Sheng Qi fell into a camp, and he had to start from scratch after landing in a camp in this new world. After the lightless day, he lost his goal, deviated from the route, and could not find his way back.
It’s not that there was nothing gained. I got a vague sea map, which was obtained on a human warship.
The human warship with a big hole in the bottom did not escape due to the slowdown in speed. It was caught up by the rat man’s bathtub warship. After throwing a few more rounds of crossbows, the warship was completely smashed into pieces. After reaching the hornet’s nest, the humans on it abandoned the warship, slid the boat, and rushed to 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 Empire has not really created words until this time, which gives Rat The operation of the human empire brought great burdens.
But their level of civilization has long reached the point where they can understand the concept of words.
The priests of the Big Claw began to carve on the stone walls a long time ago to record the metal ratios they found out. The war priests would also inscribe complex structures on the leather. Even a set of standard drawing specifications were given by the rat priests. Sorted out.
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 it is in writing, the most basic thing, The rat people were indifferent, whether it was mobilization or the transmission of news, they still stayed 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 sea map. The left and right were just the patterns of some heretical gods, and they were not beautiful enough, not complex enough, not enough. Smooth.
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 since when cowardly rat people generally had this mentality, but this attitude is very similar to that guy in Rat Zhan.
Heroes are the protagonists of each race, and their actions seem to really affect the future, path, and choices of this race.
On the coast, the Great Claw priests gathered in front of the human warship captured by the ratmen and pointed.
After some appreciation, I came to a very unified opinion: it is not beautiful enough, not complex 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 weirdo, a design that should never be used.
But it was all tinkered with by this group of unreliable guys.
It can be said that most of Sheng Qi’s torture along the way was due to this damn thing concocted 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. In the entire Rat Empire, only the Western Expeditionary Force of Sheng Qi 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.
He was sent to the vast grassland, to the forged metal road, and would eventually reach the New World and be delivered to the hands of Rat Zhan.
This was something that Longclaw offered to the white mouse. Longclaw, who had regained his senses, immediately came to the white mouse and lowered his head. He was not as arrogant as Rat Zhan, or in other words, even the arrogant Rat Zhan was. The guy also has to bow his head in front of the white rat.
These three scales were given as chips to prove their worth.
He waited anxiously for the white mouse’s response. The white mouse did not hang him or send him to the altar. His playful eyes fell on the long paws that stretched tightly around his body.
Even though Long Claws has initially completed the leap, he is still afraid in front of the white rat and his body is shaking unconsciously. The white rat 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.
Among the three scales, two are ordinary and one is deep and dark.
Long Claw believes that Shu Zhan will not refuse this gift. This is a real gift, with real power. Even if he does not accept it, after White Mouse gives these things away, Shu Zhan will use it, and he will definitely use it.
No matter what the situation is then, I will continue my research, relying on Rat War. In the Rat Man Empire, Rat War is the best material and the perfect ladder. No matter what these God’s Abandoned Scales will bring to Rat War Such changes.
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 had that hideous smile that he didn’t know he had. 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 these three Abandoned Scales of God , the mother version of this skinned giant rat is really nothing.
