Chapter 340, Rat University
Du Yuan's blessing, that extremely generous blessing, is working.
The upper limit of the Rat Man has been raised, and its strength, speed, and more have been further improved, and that's not all.
The power and ways of the human gods were generously spread into the bodies of all rat men, and were engraved deep in the blood of the rat men.
Some talented guys may awaken their own innate spells. To a certain extent, the rat people also have the possibility of becoming a magical race.
It's just that the blessing of bloodline may not be able to compete with the overly rough breeding model.
The countless breeding houses used an almost brutal method to crazily extract the power from the depths of their blood and the blessings of the gods.
The blessings Du Yuan spread were generous, but they were not necessarily a good thing.
The Big Claw Priests who run the breeding house take another step forward in the mature process of screening, sorting, and recycling rat newborns, nurturing them.
Learn from those rat priests who usually package their products.
Learning at this point is very fast, which is not surprising. After all, the Great Claw priests are deeply involved in the operation of the rat caravans.
Those who were stronger, smarter, and able to mature faster were selected, gathered together, and taught.
Learning how to fight, learning more knowledge, and learning more religious rituals is also an indirect understanding of one's own history.
How should I put it, the rat people haven't even fully used words yet, but the school has caught up first.
In the midst of extreme involution, the Big Claw priests worked hard to sell their goods at a good price.
The response has been pretty good.
Just how to say it.
Skaven warriors are Skaven warriors from birth.
One more step has been added to the rat people's unbreakable class chain.
And Du Yuan's generous blessings to the rat people accelerated this process.
The stronger ratmen, the ratmen who manifest more gifts, have widened the gap between them and other ordinary ratmen since their birth, and will be directly designated as ratmen warriors by the priests of the Big Claw. Better products are sold.
Although it seemed to be the case before.
But God's gift, Du Yuan's gift, has firmly established this principle.
Moreover, a new hot-selling product has been added to the Big Claw Priests.
Possible rat mage.
Those who can awaken their innate spells represent the emergence of another path among the rat people. Du Yuan generously gifted magic to the rat people without any restrictions, because the magic at this time belongs exclusively to the rat people. The priest deliberately concealed this part of his power.
But the situation may not be what Du Yuan intended.
There is a saying that these breeding houses that have begun to progress have taken a step forward and become more dedicated to cultivating special commodities of higher value.
There seems to be a trend towards something that has a strong sense of déjà vu.
Rat Man University………….
A very strange development, but it makes sense.
There is no doubt that Du Yuan's gift will bring about many changes.
But in fact, nothing can be shaken.
The professionalization of rat warriors is something that has always happened, but this time, the appearance of the more powerful ordinary rat warriors has completely knocked the nail on the head.
The fate of the Rat Man has been almost falling since birth, and this sentence becomes even more valuable.
As for the rat mages, this is a group of guys who are most likely to cause violent shocks. This seems to be the case, because they seem to be qualified to challenge the authority of the rat priests.
But no matter what, it only looks like it.
The Skaven Empire cannot be separated from the Skaven Priests, large and small, as well as the Big Claw Priests who are divided from the Skaven Priests.
This is by no means because they are the only group in the Skaven Empire that can perform divine magic.
What's more, they are the only two ascending routes in the Ratman Kingdom.
There are so many despicable guys in the Skaven Empire, those guys who are as despicable as dust. The only thing they can hope for is to become Skaven Priests.
Slave rats aspire to become Greatclaw Priests, and ordinary Skaven aspire to become Skaven Priests.
This is a desire that costs nothing, a distant but still possible dream.
You only need to put in a little faith, pray devoutly to the great gods, keep hoping, keep hoping, maybe one day you can become that high and mighty man.
You just can be different.
This is why the rat wizards will never challenge the status of the rat priests.
This group of noisy, disunited, fighting each other, violent internal conflicts, and no doubt worms, they are an extremely important and special part of this twisted country.
As long as those countless despicable guys are still wailing day and night, the glory engraved on the name of the rat priests will never fade, and they will never fall into the dust.
This is why the rat priests are still able to thrive despite rounds of raids and suppressions. In contrast, the rat warlords are almost all taken away in one wave of attacks. .
Of course, this is part of the reason why Du Yuan's path gradually became distorted.
After all, in terms of image, Du Yuan seems to be an unscrupulous guy selling lottery tickets.
Whispering to all the lowlifes in the Skaven Empire.
"Buy a ticket, just offer your faith."
Those rat priests who are extremely evil, greedy, cruel, wanton, and like termites, are the lucky winners who are displayed.
Well, there is such a feeling.
………….
The recent big claw priests are not at peace. These guys who are used to manipulating crude benzene gears and crude benzene gears have made some new progress recently.
The gift from the mushrooms.
Under the unlimited manipulation of the big claw priests, the cave mushrooms can no longer bear it. In the recent period, violent mutation tendencies have continued to appear in the latest generation of cave mushrooms.
This is a sign that they are about to be broken. After all, cave mushrooms are just ordinary mushrooms. They can't stand the endless accelerated iteration of the big claw priests.
A silent resistance.
It's just a pity that the resistance is ineffective. These big claw priests hold pure blood mushrooms in their left hands and black blood mushrooms in their right hands. On the one hand, they are nurturing the essence of life, and on the other hand, they are inducing mutations with life pollution.
All kinds of strange mushrooms appeared in the hands of the big claw priests, including a very flexible mushroom, which looked as hard as nitrated leather and had almost no edible value.
But it could replace leather to replace and upgrade the equipment of the rat warriors.
And not only that, after spending a lot of effort to cut the tough mushroom surface, a milky white viscous liquid was discovered by the big claw priests. This thing, which would solidify into an extremely tough colloid after drying, attracted the attention of the big claw priests and was soon tried to use.
The first direction of application was to fill the gaps and corners of the blast furnace.
The big claw priests had discovered that a more closed and high-pressure environment could greatly improve the smelting efficiency, but due to the limitations of materials and skills, their blast furnaces had never been completely sealed.
And now, the appearance of this colloid has changed this.
The smelting skills of the rats have increased by one.
And there are some unexpected gains.
Some rat priests encountered explosions when testing the sealed blast furnace.
The blast furnace that suddenly exploded aroused the great interest of the Big Claw Priests.
A new thing was born in such curiosity.
The steam engine came out.
In such a leaping process.
But it doesn't seem strange. After all, the rats have indeed met the previous technology, mature casting skills, advanced sealing technology, and basic understanding of heat.
These previous technologies have been met, and it should be a very smooth thing for the rats to find the steam engine.
But people still can't help but be surprised and want to shout that sentence.
"When did the Big Claw Priests become so reliable?"
It was a bit abnormal.
The thick gears and black shell, the first generation of the rats' steam engine came out, and the unique style of the Big Claw Priests was very strong, and the appearance was also quite distinctive.
Compared with those clumsy machines, it looks like a mobile cast iron blast furnace, and it actually has the function of a cast iron blast furnace.
Completely close the sealed chamber at the top of the blast furnace and fill it with a certain amount of clean water. Then, under the action of the boiling steam, the thick gears will begin to rotate slowly and firmly.
Reopen the sealed chamber and fill it with ore. Then this prototype steam engine can also be used as a blast furnace for smelting metal.
A groundbreaking invention was born in this way, in the dim and narrow underground, amid the cheers of a group of big claw priests.
But before this epoch-making invention began to play its own light and heat, it still had to face a backlog of competing products from colleagues.
As a power source, it has brought large and small gears to their limits. It is a masterpiece given by the big claw priests of the waste slag city.
The ultimate huge, powerful and huge gear flying disc!
Of course, if you want to be more figurative, you can call it a super hamster flywheel.
It has to be admitted that the big claw priests have gone a long way in gear structure, so far that such strange things have been made.
The fit of large and small gears is connected to a round metal cage, which almost takes the biological energy to the limit. Five deformed giant rats can drive a huge metal fortress on land.
It is hard to imagine that in that holy war, the metal fortress that the rat priests brought out and crushed everything on the battlefield was actually driven by such super hamster flywheels.
Strange picture.
We should be thankful that this time these guys have not remembered to continue to cultivate this technology line, and the steam engine has been successfully launched.
Otherwise, the tragedy that happened to the rat fleet might happen again.
But before the weird furnace steam engine can set things right, there is another challenge waiting for this new thing with infinite potential.
Competition.
The guys who tinkered with the super hamster flywheel will not easily give up their creation.
Strange picture.
………….
Preparations for war began almost as soon as Sheng Qi took office.
Holy war! Holy war!
So fast, because it is in the interests of almost all parties in the Skaven Empire.
The Skaven priests need the benefits brought by the war.
The Claw priests need the war to pay for the industrial areas, planting rooms and breeding houses.
The temple guards need more land and sacrifices to offer more glory to the gods.
Sheng Qi also needs to seize the war to attract attention and give himself more space and bargaining chips.
The rats need more wars.
The seats have not been determined, and nothing has been completely settled. In the second half of this power game, the war has directly entered the preparation stage.
There are mountains of various weapons, cave mushrooms, and countless new generation rat warriors that can be sold.
Even those rat freemen who have no contact with this power game at all have begun to get ready.
The moment this news was released, the whole of the Rat Empire began to cheer for this war.
The discomfort caused by the stagnation of the war was almost noticed by all groups in the Rat Empire.
Even the slave rats cheered for this war from the bottom of their hearts. It was a very strange phenomenon, but it was the fact.
This group of timid and cowardly guys were extremely fond of the cruel and bloody war.
As long as the war started again, even the slave rats would be able to bear less whipping from the big claw priests.
Of course they should cheer for this.
War, war, war!
For the great God!
Everything began to flourish.
After the announcement of the upcoming war.
Of course, there must be losers for every winner.
Although this power game has not been completely settled, losers have already been born, the rat warlords.
The rat warlords are completely out of this power game. Although the seats of the twelve rat councillors have not been completely settled, there will probably be no rat warlords among them.
It has nothing to do with their extremely unpopular rat commander.
Of course, they are not completely ruined. The sacred stone tablet that was once regarded as a witness of shame after the rat war came to its senses, and the contract reached under the witness of the gods saved these miserable guys.
No matter how miserable these guys are, as long as a new commander is born, he will definitely be only half a step weaker than the high priest.
This is also a transcendent position, a position witnessed by the gods, as the bottom pants of the rat warlords.
It's just a pity that the position of the Grand Commander will remain vacant for a long time, but this is not a problem.
With this position, even if the contemporary rat warlords cannot escape the fate of being used as tools and weapons of war, the situation will always change.
Not long ago, the black dragon flag was brought back to the underground rat city and placed on the pyramid in the original temple, quietly displayed together with the wooden spear.
There will always be someone to take over the job of that arrogant guy.
