From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 139, the old white rat, the saint, and the blade that escaped.

Kneel before this vague statue.

Life has come to an end.

But faith has already overcome that hurdle.

The old priest is already a saint.

This is not easy.

In the entire Ratman Kingdom, there are so many Ratman priests, in these years.

He alone crossed this threshold and ascended to sainthood.

Looking at the huge rat-man statue in front of him, this statue embodies the pursuit of most of his life and was born in arrogance and panic.

It is indeed not a god.

But in the blur, the old priest saw the god from the statue.

The god that I have been chasing for half of my life.

He stretched out his arm, trying to touch the huge ratman statue with a blurry face in front of him.

But in the midst of great sorrow and joy, life finally came to an end.

In that sob, his eyes widened.

Toward death.

The old priest's death was not peaceful, as he had too many things to let go.

But death was near.

he died.

Du Yuan’s first saint, the first saint born in the Ratman Kingdom, died on the day he was born.

A hazy golden light emerged from the body of the dead old priest.

This alarmed the young rat priests in the temple.

In that cry of disbelief.

Soon this news was delivered to the ears of other senior rat priests in the outpost.

Those rat priests who regarded the small temple as a hot potato gathered in the small temple.

They looked at the body of the old priest kneeling on the altar of the gods.

Eyes wide open.

Obviously, no one expected this to happen.

But the golden glow on the old priest's body could not be faked.

This must have something to do with that great god.

Looking at the glow on the old priest's body, and also looking at the blood mushrooms gradually sprouting in the blood pool.

Suddenly, some priests had an idea as their eyes turned.

And they all knelt down.

Towards the body of the old priest.

Also towards the blood mushrooms in the blood pool.

After obtaining the body of the old priest, some key items were suddenly gathered in this small temple.

Blood mushrooms and the gift from God.

Well, there is actually already a gift from God in the small temple, that is the statue of the ratman that has turned into a crystal stone, but it is a dim and turbid statue with only a faint breath of God.

How could he compare to the old priest who died in the small temple in front of him, accompanied by a hazy golden light!

You know, the temple in the underground rat city only contains these two things.

The blood pool and the sacred pillar which was a gift from the gods.

And all of these are now available in the small temple!

Some unthinkable thoughts appeared in the minds of these rat priests and became uncontrollable in an instant.

Can we remove the small words in the small temple and turn this small temple at the outpost into a real temple?

Then they can also leap forward and become true temple priests.

What about the ratman temple priest at the outpost?

This idea soon took root and was confirmed by the ratmen priests as they looked at each other.

why not?
The fire of ambition was ignited and began to burn fiercely.

But it is not easy to achieve this.

Because compared to mastering the production of blood mushrooms.

The emergence of another group of temple priests was undoubtedly even more rebellious.

Disobey the existence that stands above the ratman kingdom and watches everything coldly.

Disobey the rat-man high priest, the white rat.

But it is obvious that under that expected vision, all risks are thrown away.

If these abandoned guys can turn things around one day, if one day, they can also become the high and mighty priests of the temple.

They are willing to do anything for this.

As they looked at each other, all the senior ratman priests present saw the madness on the face of the guy opposite them.

Everything in the outpost was mobilized.

A large number of slave rats were driven to the outskirts of the outpost, blocking all the underground tunnels leading to the underground rat city.

Slave-hunting teams were sent to every main thoroughfare in the underground city.

To ensure that everything goes well and to ensure the smooth establishment of the temple priest group in the small temple.

The old priest was blessed by God, and this news was concealed by them together.

They did not know the existence of the saints, but just thought that the old priest was gifted by God.

The blurry statue that embodied the old priest's faith, madness, pursuit, and regret for most of his life was pushed to a corner of the temple by these crazy priests.

Instead, they placed the dead old priest in the place where the statue originally stood.

Be able to accept worship.

A grand sacrifice is about to begin. Whether this sacrifice goes smoothly or not, it depends on whether it can get the attention of the gods.

After the sacrifice is over, the news that the god has bestowed his blessing in the small temple will be spread.

The old priest's body, emitting a hazy glow, will serve as evidence.

They will also become witnesses of the divine grace, and in that supreme glory, announce the establishment of a new priesthood and officially take office as temple priests.

When all is said and done.

Even if they died on the spot, they died as temple priests.

In a sense, the Skaven priests of these outposts are undoubtedly planning a grand rebellion.

But they did not betray the great God.

Instead, he declared rebellion against the temple priests of the underground rat city and the newly established rat council.

And this is a rebellion that has a great chance of success.

Although the outpost was far less prosperous than the Underground Rat City, the priests here were also ridiculed by the priests of the Underground Rat City.

But what they want to do is not to start a protracted war with the Rat Council in the underground Rat City.

Just buy yourself some time.

Just complete that grand sacrifice and successfully form another group of temple priests.

Just hold on until everything is settled.

At this time, if they took the initiative to submit, as a group of temple priests who were also watched by the gods, even if they were just guinea pigs, they would have to accept it with a pinch of their noses.

As for the blow to the prestige of the Ratman Parliament and the turmoil it will cause, I'm sorry, that's something the real Ratman Parliament needs to consider.

It is not something that our outpost temple priesthood needs to consider.

But is it really that easy?
………….

In the underground rat city.

In the excavated underground cave.

The white rat sits upright.

A tall rat-man assassin stood in the darkness beside him.

Faintly, it seemed to merge with the darkness.

A somewhat wilted blood mushroom was placed in front of the white mouse.

The rat rapped his knuckles on the table.

This is the first blood mushroom that sprouted in the outpost.

But at this time, it was placed in front of the white mouse.

Just a glance, in that brief moment of thought.

Abnormally, the rat did not make a decision on the spot.

Instead, he threw the question to the tall rat-man assassin hiding in the darkness.

"You can handle it, but don't damage the temple of the gods."

White Rat did not treat the small temple as a joke like most of the ratmen priests.

Because of this, the crystal statue imbued with the aura of the gods was sent to the small temple.

Although he mostly ignored the rat priests in the outpost, there was indeed an exception, and an accident.

The guy who turned into a statue, and the guy who carved the gods himself.

Back then, the guy who carved the gods also made him look sideways.

But it was just a sidelong glance.

As the high priest who lies on the kingdom of the ratmen.

The white rat's pride needs no reason.

But time still left irreversible marks on him.

For this purpose, he forged a sharp blade, and at the same time, he was going to let go of this blade.

Eyes slightly closed.

He didn't even look at the ratman assassin beside him.

He sighed without any feeling of sadness or joy.

“I’m old too.”

He has no more feelings about aging.

But these words made the ratman assassin who was about to leave pause slightly.

The ratman assassin paused at the door, blocking out the light outside.

It also revealed a little bit of my appearance.

She has white hair like a white mouse.

Soon, he took another step and the rat assassin disappeared into the underground tunnel outside the door.

The darkness is surging.

A force hidden in the dark began to take action, and the rat assassins began to gather towards the outpost.

Leading the team was a tall rat-man assassin.

………….

Just when the Ratman Empire was in turmoil again.

Du Yuan was not idle either.

In the dark abyss.

A dispute began.

The leap in rank brought Xiaochun a lot of improvement in wisdom.

This guy even wanted to do something secretly.

The main body clung to the divine pillar where Du Yuan was sleeping, appearing to be at peace.

The spreading branches reached this deep abyss.

Want to secretly attack the craftsman's heart.

Having improved her wisdom, Koharu is no longer frightened by the crude tricks of the Craftsman's Heart.

The spreading branches could not be stopped by the craftsman's heart which only had a little bit of hazy spirituality.

The branches inserted into the beating heart of the craftsman, greedily wanting to eat the heart of the craftsman in front of it.

Until a figure appeared in the deep abyss.

With just a grasp, Xiaochun's branches were firmly controlled by Du Yuan.

Facing Du Yuan's revealed figure, Xiaochun's branches shook violently in fear and became soft.

Slide to your knees without hesitation.

He didn't even dare to resist.

The shadow that Du Yuan left on Xiaochun was quite profound, one of instinctive fear and obedience.

But at the same time, the craftsman's heart had a different attitude, as if he had finally met a savior. The misty spirit continued to emit a familiar breath towards Du Yuan.

But Du Yuan ignored him.

He held the branch of Xiaochun in his hand without any sadness or joy.

He has already made a decision on the dispute between Xiaochun and the Craftsman's Heart.

In fact, there is nothing to hesitate about. In the next war, he needs Xiaochun even more.

As for the craftsman's heart, the ratmen's metal smelting is on the right track.

At the same time, its spirituality has become obscure due to its incompleteness.

In fact, he could still wait and wait for his spiritual completion, but Du Yuan was also curious.

What will devouring the craftsman's heart bring to Xiaochun?

Just a little bit.

This devouring must be carried out under one's own leadership.

Only Xiaochun can take what he gives to her.

This must be understood by him.

He is the master of everything.

At the same time, some rules also need to be determined by him.

The rat people need more blood mushrooms, and the blood mushrooms will inevitably spread throughout the entire rat kingdom, which is also what Du Yuan wants to promote.

But it's all about balance.

As Xiaochun trembled, Du Yuan let go of the branch and paused quietly aside.

Xiaochun was a little overwhelmed, but at the same time, she instinctively climbed towards the Craftsman's Heart in front of her.

But this time, Xiaochun learned his lesson and watched Du Yuan's attitude from the sidelines.

Only after making sure that Du Yuan did not stop it did the swallowing start again.

Du Yuan silently witnessed all this happening here.

It was not until the death of the old priest that Du Yuan felt something.

But there is no need to look away.

That bit of true spirit has already followed the connection and found Du Yuan.

The divine pillar where Du Yuan's real body was sleeping was thrown into place, and golden spots of light were flying inside it.

Du Yuan's real body opened his eyes for a moment and shook his head regretfully.

Unexpectedly, after mocking the boar man god, he himself encountered the same situation.

Saints are naturally precious, but Du Yuan, who does not uphold the Kingdom of God, is also unable to accommodate the true spirits of believers.

In most cases, one can only allow the believer's true spirit to dissipate naturally, but after this old priest became a saint, he was able to sense his own existence through that little connection.

It just so happened that Du Yuan was very close.

Flying up and down around Du Yuan in the divine pillar.

But it is difficult to resist the fate of disappearing.

This is why Du Yuan shook his head.

As for the waves surging in the ratman kingdom and the situation occurring in the outpost.

The white mice have always been handled well.

He needs to keep an eye on Xiaochun's swallowing and leaping. When necessary, he needs to interrupt or guide her.

At the same time, he will also deal with the balance of the blood mushrooms after Xiaochun completes the leap.

Du Yuan will not directly interfere in the affairs of the rat people.

Although he kept his eyes on them, on this group of noisy guys.

………….

Outpost.

The Skaven Assassins have arrived.

After passing through a secret underground tunnel, you will easily appear in the outpost.

The outpost at this moment was much more deserted and empty than before.

A large number of slave rats that had originally gathered there were driven away to block the road.

Those rat priests who stopped at the outpost were either killed on the spot or expelled.

The outpost, which had been prosperous recently due to the victory of the third expedition, became silent.

But this is just appearance.

As long as you get close to the small temple in the outpost, you will find that a grand sacrifice has entered the preparation stage.

All of this was observed by the rat assassins hiding in the darkness.

There wasn't much hesitation.

Faced with this situation, the tall assassin leader gave the order to kill.

She didn't care what the priests in these outposts were doing.

Nor do they care about their plots.

Once they crossed the line, in her opinion, these guys were dead.

As sharp blades, their job is to kill and they only kill.

　The author has been killed by the weather recently. It's too cold. It snowed today in the south where it never snows. I also have a slight cold. I will update again when it gets warmer.
