Chapter 32, Digging for Mastery
The Ratman's fixed talent is Mining Mastery, a talent that is useful but not that good. If you get Plague Resistance, you'll hit the jackpot.
After all, among the rat people, a recognized weak race, the most famous sect is the plague rat people.
It's a pity, but it's not useless.
Moreover, this God of Creation card also brought Du Yuan a divine eye, which was the illusory eye suspended on the stone pillar of Du Yuan's altar.
Du Yuan still doesn't understand the specific function. Du Yuan was rejected when he wanted to send spiritual power into it. However, every divine eye is a rare thing. Every miscellaneous book talks about divine eyes and they are quite praised. .
In my impression, there has never been a useless ability. Maybe it has happened but it has not been recorded.
But it's not a big problem. Now that he has chosen his own altar, Du Yuan has a way to convince this divine eye. He will know the effect when the time comes.
But there are also disadvantages.
This God of Creation Card plus the Divine Eye must be involved, so it would be best not to leave the academy during this period.
I don’t know what is involved behind it and who will be concerned about it, but in any case, it should be safe in the academy. After all, the dean is the only medium-level divine power in Yuanwang City, although he is weaker than the city lord with the war priesthood. , but no one dares to make trouble in the academy.
Just be patient, Du Yuan made this decision.
Once again, he was living in seclusion.
In the world of the Familia, during this period of time, the rat people were developing the forest smoothly.
The large forest near the mountain range has been brought under control, but what is annoying is that most of the resources in this forest were either destroyed or taken away when the lizard people left.
Streams were cut and blocked, demonized animals were driven away or hunted, water sources were polluted, useful magical vegetation was taken away, and tall trees that were difficult to move were set alight by fire.
Only a barren, empty and messy forest was left to the rat people. Fortunately, the rat people had little demand for various materials, even extraordinary plants, and even little need for medical treatment.
If a ratman is injured and has difficulty in recovering and affects his combat effectiveness, then being thrown into a lake of blood is basically the most standard answer.
There is no need to treat diseases or recover from injuries, and the need for magic potions is replaced by blood mushrooms, so the impact is not big, but it is quite refreshing.
And even if things on the ground can be taken away and destroyed, some fixed mineral veins cannot be destroyed or taken away.
The Rat Man found a copper mine in the forest, and when the Rat Man was digging in the mountains, he found an iron mine in the mountains.
It's a pity that although the ore veins were found, the rat people simply did not have the ability to smelt metal. However, under Du Yuan's oracle, the rat people still made some caves to store these ores.
Du Yuan looked at the various ores that were slowly accumulating in the mountain caves and nodded with satisfaction.
If there is a chance in the future, the start of rat metal smelting should be smooth with these ores.
However, Du Yuan's oracle actually brought some negative effects.
At least the white rat had a headache after learning about the oracle.
Because other major projects were being started at the same time, whether it was the excavation of the fortress at the entrance of the mountain range, the construction of underground tunnels, the construction of the mushroom house, and the most important, the construction of the temple that attracted the White Rat the most.
Not long ago, the rat warriors found the original camp of the lizard men. Perhaps they left in a hurry, but there was still a large amount of infrastructure left inside that had not been destroyed, especially the temple of the heretic god.
The white rat came specially from the mountains to take a good look at the temple of the heretic god.
One thing is that it was just a big house made of logs, with at most some rough statues inside. Although Li Sheng entered the world of the family before Du Yuan.
But it has not yet developed to the extent that the family can overhaul the temple. Even if Du Yuan saw Li Sheng's abandoned temple, he had no other feelings.
He even sneered at Li Sheng for setting up a temple with just such a few things.
But the white mouse didn't think much about it. After seeing this big wooden house, he immediately thought of his god's semi-open and simple altar.
Well, Du Yuan does only have an altar, and even the altar is quite simple and simple. It is just a stone pillar with some stones piled underneath. If we insist on calling it a temple, the underground cave where the stone pillar is placed should be considered one.
Ever since, the pious White Rat immediately decided to build a huge, luxurious, and beautiful temple to dedicate to his god.
Until Du Yuan sent down the oracle.
After transferring a large number of slave rats to dig mine veins, the rat people had a large population gap. In order to solve this problem.
More female wererats were thrown away by the white rats to be paired up and give birth.
The Skaven are becoming more and more numerous.
But once the number of rat-men increased, the barren and empty forest would become a big problem. After all, except for the ubiquitous goblins, there were almost no enemies in the empty forest.
But the selection of rat warriors and slave rats needs to be determined through battle.
In addition, the sacrifices have begun to decrease, and the production of blood mushrooms has also begun to decrease.
In order to deal with these things and to offer gifts to the gods, the first leaders' conference in the history of the rat people was held.
White Rat summoned Good Eyes, Long Tail, and a new leader of the slave rat priests, Long Claws.
The four mice gathered in front of the altar and began to discuss countermeasures.
But in fact, when it comes to discussing countermeasures, it is more about the white rat giving orders and maneuvering.
Good Eyes was sent to lead the rat warriors to start looking for suitable objects in the forest for blood sacrifice.
The long tail is asked to provide food and then use good eyes to take care of the logistics.
Long Claw has no other requirements, as long as he completes the content of the oracle and digs out more ores.
The White Rat sat at the location of the altar and began to organize the expansion of the altar.
The dust settled on such a simple meeting.
But the follow-up gave these rat-men leaders a huge headache.
Under the strict orders of White Rat, Good Eyes, his own rat warriors and those young rat warriors who came in droves and failed to pass the test began to run around in the vast forest without a clue and search.
Long Tail, in addition to growing mushrooms, also had the additional task of transporting mushrooms, and began running back and forth between the mountains and the depths of the forest.
Only the long claws were a little easier. As a priest who appeared in the Slave Rat, he was also a survivor of the Lizardman War, and he also received the first wave of bonuses brought by the talent of the God of Creation card.
Although proficiency in digging has become a fixed talent of Du Yuan's rat man, a white rat, good eyes, and a long tail obviously don't know how to dig holes.
But Longclaw knows how to do it. With the emergence of digging proficiency, he has a kind of spiritual sensitivity when it comes to digging caves. He directs the dug caves not only at a high speed, but also without collapse.
Naturally, he was picked up by the white rat and was responsible for digging veins and collecting ores.
He was ecstatic at that time, and during this period of time he was concentrating on the task of mining, which made Bai Mouse feel relieved and freed up his energy to build the temple.
It's just that it's hard to say whether he can really make the white mouse feel at ease.
