From Skaven to God-King of War - Chapter 443
With the end of the civil war, until today, Shenqi Star has never recovered its former prosperity. The entire planet is devastated, the population has dropped sharply, and it is desolate and empty.
This planet, once sacred and full of glory, is now likely to be a battlefield in every inch of the planet. Mines are buried in the potholes, and under the fallen leaves in the woods, there are only bones and unexploded bombs. A large number of cities have been abandoned, and the war has made half of the land on Shenqi Star uninhabitable.
This is the indulgence of the indifferent emperor. The long-term advancement war itself is an open conspiracy. A huge empire only needs one center. Now, who remembers the glory of Shenqi Star in the past.
Of course, there is an exception to all this, that is, the Desolate Mountains, the underground rat city, where no war has broken out. The huge army stopped here, but there is no need for Qi Lai to cause trouble here. Those traitors and those temple priests have already messed up the Desolate Mountains.
Now, Shenqi Star has completely lost the ability to support each other with Violent Star and serve as the center of the Rat Empire. The star port hanging high in the sky, which has never been repaired since it was damaged by the war, has become a tombstone recording its former glory.
Everything is moving forward with the passage of time, and there are fewer and fewer old guys in the Rat Empire.
………….
Fortress Star, outer space, a huge meteorite floating alone in space, here is a dangerous laboratory of the Royal Engineers Association. As these crazy guys tinker with things more and more crazy, the rat affairs officers of the Capital Affairs Department have become more and more unable to tolerate these crazy engineers placing their dangerous laboratories on various planets like shit.
Of course, they also responded to such a situation.
After a terrifying explosion, they swept all the dangerous laboratories of these guys into the universe. There are many benefits to doing this. The most significant point is that no matter how dangerous these guys are, they can only create a little bit of waves in this boundless universe, and will not send any of the precious colonized planets owned by the rats to the sky.
This huge meteorite floating alone in the universe is an extremely dangerous laboratory of the royal engineers.
The Psychic Prophet Project is carried out here.
In the empty space, accompanied by a little blue approach, a rat supply ship is heading here.
It is loaded with some extremely important things, which are related to the progress of the Psychic Prophet Project.
The Rat Affairs Officers’ attack was too sudden, and they did not have time to dismantle all the things in the first place, such as the subspace prisons made of soul gem ether crystals.
Without these things, the experiments on subspace creatures will be more difficult.
The supply ship landed on the meteorite. After receiving the signal, a large number of transport trucks appeared on the surface of the meteorite as the secret door opened.
In the cabin of the supply ship, the captain of the transport ship was chewing the dark, moist and tough mushrooms. These were the specialties of the Rye Star, chewing mushrooms.
Recently, many rat medical experts began to emphasize the harm of these chewing mushrooms in newspapers. He even saw the miserable state of those who ate too much chewing mushrooms in the tavern.
The teeth turned black and fell off, and there were tiny holes in the mouth, and pus kept flowing out.
Well, I don’t know when it started, but there were more medical experts. When he was a child, he had never heard of any medical experts. At that time, who cared about what to eat to get sick and what to touch to die.
These guys are just as incomprehensible as the Protestants.
He thought angrily, but when he thought of the miserable guys he saw in the tavern, he suddenly felt that the black mushrooms in his mouth were no longer so tasty.
After struggling, he finally spit the mushrooms in his mouth into the trash can at hand, and at the same time stuffed the box of chewing mushrooms in his hand into the cabinet at the bottom of the driving platform.
However, I also heard that the medical school will be officially opened today, and I can put my daughter in it later.
That is my youngest daughter, and my favorite little daughter. She looks very much like her mother, with very smooth hair. No, she is even more beautiful than her mother, with long pink hair.
It’s a pity that her mother still likes the eldest daughter more. Even if I like the youngest daughter, I can’t give her the right of inheritance.
As the captain of a medium-sized transport ship, he is considered to have a relatively high status among the rats, but it’s a pity that he makes a living in the Fortress Star. Here, in the center of this rat empire, he is just an ordinary transport captain.
He can’t give too much to his children at home, but in fact, he loves his little ones at home very much. However, he loves them, but he is unwilling to distribute his property equally.
Recently, some guys started publishing something called inheritance law in the newspapers, advocating that every ratman family’s children should be given equal inheritance rights and property. They even held a petition not long ago, and he also participated in that petition and voted against it.
He really loves his children, but he also knows better how difficult it is for him to inherit the name.
Hashak, short tail, cargo, transport ship captain
When this name was just born, he was just an ordinary star port dock porter. At that time, the name inherited by their family was Hashak, short tail, and cargo transportation. Until five generations ago, that year, his ancestor successfully obtained a second-hand star ship, which was the beginning of the story of their transport ship family.
He would never support the establishment of that inheritance law. If this law was established, then his ancestor, the beginning of this great name, Hashak, short tail, cargo transportation, even if he passed this name down for a hundred generations, it would be impossible to add the name of the transport ship captain.
Of course, he loves his children! But he cherishes the family glory passed down from generation to generation even more. The medium-sized transport ships in his hands, his channels and connections, these most important wealth will be decided among his several children, and will be inherited by the child who is the smartest and most suitable to become a ratman captain.
He is looking forward to adding the word “fleet captain” to the great name inherited by their family in the future.
He does value his family honor more than his children, but these two things are not something that cannot coexist. Now, the children are growing up one after another, and he has been busy recently, driving his old friend back and forth in the starry sky more frequently.
In order to earn more money, and also to arrange a few places for those grown-up children.
In this situation, he recently received the task of transporting resources to this place, and he signed a long-term contract with those rat engineers.
This matter is not so difficult. He only needs to stop at the designated place at the agreed time to load the goods, and then transport the loaded goods here within a period of time. It is not so difficult, but sometimes the transported things are strange, but his experience tells him that even if it is strange, he should not ask and pretend not to see it.
No matter how pitiful those goods are.
After this round trip, he only needs to know that he can get a lot of blood gold coins again. When his children leave their families, they will give him a big hug because of this money. That’s enough.
After repeating this, this guy, this senior space transport captain, Hashak, short tail, cargo, transport captain, unknowingly took out the round metal box from the bottom grid of the console, opened it, and put a few black tough mushroom strips into his mouth.
Chewing, forgetting and ignoring the scene that was happening.
Soon, the transport vehicles unloaded all kinds of things from the transport ship with the rear hatch opened, a can of faint blue ether crystal fragments, food, various golden materials, some engine parts, several complete engines, and the young mouse people loaded in sealed containers that looked like hamster balls but were in the shape of cubes.
Ah, these cute little guys, each of them has not grown up yet, and they are at the most tender time, and they are also the most pitiful.
They are obviously very scared of such a situation, curled up in the corner of this small square box, with horror on their faces.
The guys who were carrying them were indifferent to their reaction and just carried out their actions indifferently. Soon after, all the cargo on the transport ship was loaded and unloaded, and Hashak could leave.
Perhaps the little guys on the ship reminded him of his most lovely little daughter. He was not so calm. He decided not to cooperate with these rat engineers after the long-term contract ended. What the newspaper said was indeed true. These guys were all crazy.
Thinking of this, the rear hatch of the transport ship slowly closed. With the ignition of the engine, he drove his transport ship into the sky and disappeared in the vast starry sky.
Inside the meteorite, a huge experimental base was built.
In fact, the project they led has been more than half successful. These crazy guys have found a way to guide out a certain power and concept in the spirits of the subspace. The rest is to successfully combine these concepts and powers with a rat man, and then, then it’s done.
However, such a simple step has trapped them for a long time. Ordinary ratmen cannot bear such power at all. These concepts will collapse and go crazy the moment they are injected. Even those who are determined can only hold on for a while, and will still go crazy and collapse.
Try again and again, even if you use exhaustive methods, send ratmen to the test bench day after day, and watch him collapse and go crazy. Doing this continuously, you can’t meet a lucky person who can accept these things.
In this situation, they have to start changing their thinking. Of course, they will not give up. This experiment has come to the last moment and the most important moment. They will never give up. For this reason, in order to succeed, they will not hesitate to start searching for ratmen with psychic talents in the rat empire again, to search for these guys who are already very rare among the ratmen, to find, hunt, and buy and sell those precious materials.
Du Yuan once gave the ratmen the talent to awaken magic abilities, which is a blessing and a gift in itself.
But in the end, the ratmen who could awaken their magic abilities would not have a particularly good outcome.
If the ratmen priests could still communicate with Du Yuan’s divine magic network, they should be tolerant of those who could also use magic. After all, you can use magic, so can I, and I am also the messenger of God.
But the situation is not good. After Du Yuan sank into the gap between the two worlds, these ratmen priests lost their ability to cast spells. At this time, a bunch of guys who could cast spells suddenly appeared, so what they had to face was naturally imaginable.
Earlier, these ratmen priests really knew how to use the stick of judging heresy.
In this way, the vigorous witch hunting movement lasted for nearly a hundred years, and almost all the ratmen wizards in the open were caught in one fell swoop. Until now, when the ratmen priests were completely weakened and the ratmen sects were changed to Protestantism, these ratmen wizards have just breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past hundred years, they have thought about resisting those crazy rat priests, but how to say it, the main reason is that they can’t beat them. These guys without foundation can’t even get the support of any party in the rat empire. And they want them to rely on their not-so-powerful innate magic to compete with the rat priests in the dusk sunset period, which is really overestimating them.
The rats have also slaughtered serious magical creatures.
So, it is Du Yuan’s blessing that provides the basis for the existence of these rat wizards, not anything else. Every rat has such a blessing in his body, and every rat has the possibility of becoming a rat wizard. In this way, the rat wizards struggled to survive the day when the rat priests completely declined, and began to slowly recover their vitality.
Is it really possible? No, when the rats walked out of the Shenqi Star and began to shuttle in space, a problem was placed in front of these rat wizards. Not every planet has magic power. In this physical universe, the best way to replenish magic power is to open the gap of the subspace.
These guys have also adapted to this situation. Perhaps Du Yuancifu is flexible enough, or perhaps life itself is looking for a way out.
The new generation of rat mages have had some connection with the subspace at the moment of awakening, from a mage to a psychic.
This attracted the attention of the rat engineers, these research madmen.
