My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1436 1433. To the Past: "Family Gathering" in the Bottomless Pit

The Big Stomach Rat's first Holy Communion on earth was extremely successful.

His messengers appeased the rat people with delicacies made from dangerous insects, and spread the news of this miracle of worship throughout the entire Mejwa hive in a more exaggerated manner.

At the end of the carnival, Black Servant announced that the Big Stomach Rat would spread the secret of Holy Communion to every hungry believer. The four chefs did not hide their secrets and quickly taught their disciples the methods of cooking the simplest insect meat dishes.

For example, the salt-baked insect meat dish requires basically no advanced skills. As long as there is a specific alchemical solution, even the dumbest ratman can follow the same pattern to make a lot of dried meat.

It may not taste good, but it is enough to fill you up and has some nutritional value.

Most importantly, it is easy to collect.

That night, many ratmen ran out of the nest to look for worker insects in the nearby shadows. The swarm did not focus on attacking the Eternal Rift, so there was only a small insect nest here. Because the ratmen thought the insects were very unpalatable, they did not attack them specifically, but now the situation is different.

When Murphy went out for a walk at night because he found it difficult to fall asleep in the noisy and chaotic ratmen's nest, he saw groups of excited ratmen carrying the captured and tied up worker insects to the "Messenger of God". The helpless Star Soul Eagle was surrounded by many ratmen "cooks" who were learning the techniques of making jerky from him.

There were also many rats that were being sent to decompose the worker insects.

They used stones to smash these insects with poor attack power to death, and then, under the enthusiastic guidance of the players who were idle and imitating the donkey's bray, they used blunt knives to take out the edible parts and placed and processed them in different categories.

According to the teachings of the "Big Stomach God", the eyes of just a worker insect can be taken out to make roasted food, the leg meat can be used to make jerky, and it can be braised using special glands. Finally, the worker insect's shell can be used as a simple protective gear.

Humans cannot directly use insect shells for protection, but the small physique of the ratmen is very suitable for making insect shells into strange "half-body armor". The protective power of this thing is actually very average, but for the ratmen who are extremely short of resources, these insect shells are just right.

The more skillful ones among them quickly learned from the tailor Madam Shui how to use insect tendons as ropes to make simple armor, which made Madam Shui exclaim that she was like a craftsman who came to "spread technology and benefit the rats."

Is this another "spring" for manufacturers?

“It’s not enough to just do this.”

As Murphy watched from above, Tris's voice rang out from beside him. She stepped forward holding the sleepy little dragon and said:
“The belief of the Big Stomach Rat may be able to gain a foothold here with the help of the spread of these technologies, but it will take time for Black Servant to turn the nest into his own territory. Although the four rat warlords are stupid, they will not become Black Servant’s loyal servants just because of a belief that cannot provide power.

So, how do you plan to get these ratmen to step out of their nests and become our vanguards?"

"Hasn't the answer already been given? Food."

Murphy put his hands behind his back and said:

"Black Servant Sen brought the envoy to complete the holy meal of the giant stomach rat just to establish the ritual sense and seriousness necessary for faith. While Star Soul Eagle and his elders were developing the sea of ​​insects cuisine, the R-9 base was also experimenting with making insect ointment.

That was exactly how Dusk had raised the rat people.

The insects are thrown into the processed nutrient blocks for harmless decomposition, and then a nutrient paste with high quality, low price and most importantly, high yield is produced.

This method is more suitable for large-scale use by the ratmen. Black Servant is negotiating with the rat warlords at this time. It will give them food, and the price is that the warlords have to send troops to fight in the name of the Big Stomach God, seize the territory of the shadow elves in the Eternal Rift, and finally shape the prototype of the ratman kingdom.

Once a conflict occurs, the belief of the Big Stomach Rat will develop rapidly among the ratmen, and in this process, Black Servant will also find a way to eliminate these four warlords or tame them.

I believe Hei Pu Sen can do this.

Although its wrist is not as strong as Hogg's, it has its own advantages and is ruthless enough. "

"Well, you really did make preparations for both situations."

Tris sighed:
"It's a good thing that you made some preparations. Black Servant announced to the rat people that this was the 'holy meal of the big-stomach rats'. If you had served a pile of sticky insect paste, I think even the rat people would have doubted the value of this 'miracle'.

This is just like what foreigners complain about on forums.

Even if pre-prepared dishes have their own flavor, if given a choice, everyone would choose to let the chef prepare them himself.

Eating also requires a sense of ritual.

Not to mention that Hei Pu Sen has already linked this process to faith. "

"Yes, we can feed low-level ratmen nutritional paste. As long as they are full, they will not be unhappy. However, high-level ratmen will definitely pursue such a set of 'sacred cooking' processes to show their uniqueness and highlight their identity and status."

Murphy complained harshly:

“Alas, we intelligent creatures are always full of troubles, but I am relieved that today’s Holy Communion went so smoothly.

Once the food problem that has been plaguing the Skaven warlords is resolved, the expansion of the Skaven in the Eternal Rift will immediately be put on the agenda, and then Black Servant will adjust the wind direction, ultimately pointing the Skaven to confront the Zerg.

You know what's the best part, Trish?"

"The Swarm will not refute or explain."

The Blood Eagle Duke laughed and said:
"Once the ratmen attack them, the Zerg will immediately fight back!
In their eyes, ratmen are also excellent biomass. They didn't catch them before because the terrain of the Eternal Rift is complex, and there is a giant wall of locusts in front to attract attention. Once the situation on the front line becomes tense, the swarm will even actively hunt ratmen to replenish biomass.

Even without our instigation, the confrontation between the two races was inevitable sooner or later.

Now with the guidance and prophecy of the Big Stomach Rat, in the near future, when the ratmen and the insect swarms face off, these timid guys will have more courage in their hearts.

Well, in the name of Holy Communion, steal, rob!
The Order Alliance resisted the dangerous soldier insects, and the ratmen plundered the worker insects that were the foundation of the insect swarm in the rear. The cooperation between the two sides was enough to reduce the threat of the locust plague by an entire order of magnitude. "

"You are the smart one."

Murphy laughed and said to Trish:

"Go and have some rest. We will leave here early tomorrow morning and head to Suiying City as quickly as possible to find out the situation there.

We don't have much time left. The Lord has already launched an attack on the Castle of Sin. He assessed the battlefield and said that in the absence of foreigners as vanguards, it might take five to seven days for the Holy Blood Regiment to recapture the city on the edge of the gray desert."

"My Lord, are you training your troops? Otherwise, he could have swept through the Castle of Sin with just one gun. A simpler way would be to have the Light Chaser fire a few solar bombs at the city.

Anyway, we only want what is hidden under the city, and we don’t need the dwarf city to remain intact.”

Cui Si stroked the little dragon in her arms and said:
"It seems that he is really considering retirement. He wants to leave an undefeated army for the future vampire king's court before leaving. To be honest, Murphy, I am a little worried. You know what I am worried about."

"Ok, I know."

Murphy sighed and said:
"We are not afraid of our Lord failing. We are afraid that he will actively pursue failure. He is too tired."

"The breaking point is that crazy bitch Lily!"

Trish said:
"Use your supreme wisdom as a trainee creator and find a way to send Lily back to the Lord. These two people suffer from the same disease, and they are the only two people in the world who can heal each other."

"How can this be easier said than done?"

Murphy shook his head and glanced at the family of chefs who were teaching skills to the future "Ratatouille Kings". The Vampire Governor laughed when he saw the "Chinese master" waving a whip and scolding his rat apprentices to wash their dirty bodies and claws before learning the details of cooking.

He turned and said, "Where's Adele? I haven't seen her since the Holy Communion."

"We went to the city. To be more precise, we went to the ruins of the gladiatorial arena in Mejwa City. When the city fell, that place was heavily attacked by the Burning World Demon Soldiers and has collapsed into the area below."

Trish said:
"The local ratmen call that huge pit the 'Bottomless Pit'. I just went to see it. The subsidence of that place may have accidentally opened up a crack leading to the Underdark. But if we want to really open the passage, the ratmen have to continue digging. Perhaps the Stonemason Brotherhood and explorers will be interested in this place.

I should have shown my jealousy of Adele's concern at this time, but I also know that this city means a lot to E妹.

So, go and accompany your little lover.

I hope she has adjusted her mindset when we set off tomorrow.

In addition, Adele's personal strength has reached the level of a gold-level warrior after long-term hard training and the blessing of the Night Singer. With Shani's remote guidance, a breakthrough in strength may be imminent.

When a vampire's golden one breaks through, she may fall into a frenzy caused by the awakening of her ancestral bloodline, so you'd better keep a close eye on her."

"Tracey, my dearest Tricey, how can I live without you?"

Murphy hugged his wife, but was pushed away by Tris in disgust. The way the old couple got along made Murphy quite helpless. After saying goodbye to Tris, he could only go to the bottom of the city of Megewa. On the way, he met Vilanser and a group of weaving girls who were busy "setting up equipment" in an intact mistress's pavilion.

They will bury a cylindrical metal container inlaid with many computing orbs in the rock, hiding it as the physical node of Ms. Rose's "World Network". Over the past period of time, Vilanser has buried such "distributed servers" all over the world as a medium for Ms. Rose to interfere with reality.

Well, I have to say that at present, the Eternal Rift has become the place with the fastest "Internet speed" in the ring continent area because of the large number of buried servers.

Here, the super-powered hackers can easily contact Ms. Rose and download powerful data magic from the World Network to assist in combat, which has caused great disturbances in the shadow elf society as a group of unique followers.

However, being able to set up extremely expensive server nodes in the ratmen's city, it seems that Rose really intends to extend her "World Network" to this uncivilized population of ratmen. Perhaps Rose has her own plans for this.

At least Murphy discovered some time ago that Black Pusen was also clumsily learning how to use the calculation orb. Perhaps Black Pusen, the "Chosen of Big Stomach Rat God", was also trying to use the power from other gods when he was weak. Well, this is a good thing!

The spread of knowledge is always a good thing.

With such thoughts in mind, Murphy quickly entered the most severely collapsed area of ​​the Mejewa ruins, propelled by his nimble wings.

The collapse of this place was too severe, so the rats would not go near it. Tracy said there was a crack leading to the shadow area, and perhaps the unknown aura of that underground world was also affecting the rats.

It is not a place that the ratmen can explore yet.

Murphy followed the elf's written instructions in the collapsed area and quickly arrived at the ruins of the arena. The collapse here was the most serious, but he could still vaguely see the circular grandstand and the gladiators' rest room built by the Megerva elves here. He followed the scent into the shadows and soon found Adele's trace.

But just when Murphy was about to show up, he heard Adele whispering something in a place in the ruins.

Eavesdropping was not a good thing, but Murphy stopped and let his senses go.

"Salifu told me where you were buried. It was in the room where you first met your mother. He buried you here with his own hands. Perhaps out of guilt, only he and I knew your final whereabouts."

Adele's voice is filled with a kind of silent sadness, just like a girl expressing her feelings in front of her father's tombstone.

She didn't notice Murphy hiding in the shadows not far away, she just half-knelt there and continued:

"He gave me your weapons, and he tried to tell me what a great man you had been, that you were the only one in the family with a conscience. In the little memory I have of my mother, she always avoided talking about you, I guess out of guilt.

Like Salifu, she was involved in your murder.

She knew the consequences of her begging you to help them escape, but she did it anyway.

She is a selfish person and I have never concealed my resistance to her.

But did you know?
When I arrived here in person, I realized with all my heart that the only two people in this world who would unconditionally protect and love me have left me.

It was not until then that I realized for the first time how lonely I was, father, even though I had never met you.

I know that you helped my mother leave here not only because of your love for her, but also because of me.
Technically, I was also an accomplice to the murder.

My mother, Sarifu and I teamed up to destroy the legendary warrior leader of the Eternal Rift, and perhaps also destroyed the hope of the shadow elves. I hope you can forgive us.

You don't have to worry about my life now.

I have a man who I call my 'master' but is more like a lover by my side. Due to some insidious vampire traditions, I have to share him with another lady who is far superior to me in every aspect. I know that this choice will definitely make you and your mother scold me for being shameless.

But there's nothing you can do, love is so unreasonable, just like you know you can't be with your mother, but you still do it.

Perhaps this stubbornness is also inherited from your blood.
Well, maybe I am too sad and have hallucinations. Why do I see your illusion appearing in front of me? This is not the first time.

Father, do you wish to say something to me?"

"Adele, get out of the way!"

Murphy knew he couldn't hide any longer.

Although he still wanted to hear more of Adele's thoughts, he had to stand up. He landed beside his little lover as his blood wings flapped, pulled her back, and said:

"There is a remnant of Chaos in this place. It must have been left behind by the Burning World Demon Soldiers when they attacked here before! No wonder the rats don't like this place. What you just saw was not an illusion of your father.
The bad news is that Chaos has brought his ghost back to life, and the two of us have to face the test of His Excellency 'Hydra', the legendary warrior leader of the Eternal Rift.

The good news is”

Murphy squeezed Adele's hand and said:

“You don’t have to do this alone.”

"Me, damn it! I was too immersed in my own emotions, Master."

Adele realized that she had made a mistake and might even implicate Murphy, so she immediately apologized but was slapped on the butt by Murphy.

Enough of this overly polite way of getting along!
He took Adele and were about to leave the ruins of the arena along the same route they had come. However, just as they stepped out of the inner circle, as shadows gathered, an armored elven ghost appeared in front of them, blocking their way out.

The other person held a phantom blade in his hand, exactly the same as the Shadow Fang in Adele's hand.

"Oh, I knew it. I even suspected that Tris had already noticed your presence and took the initiative to let me come down so that I could participate in this embarrassing first visit."

Murphy breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the Long Night Guard, and said:

"If a dead person cannot let go of his thoughts about the mortal world, dangerous things will be born. But it is also natural for my father-in-law to worry about the stinky man who cheated his daughter away. Seeing that you are so aggressive and want to teach me a lesson, I have no choice but to accept the challenge, sir.

Look, my legs are right here.
Come on, interrupt it!"
