From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 273: Ratman's Background
The transition from the old to the new era is not just happening to the Rat People.

What kind of city is this?

The resurgent elemental tide brings so many possibilities.

Designs that were originally unrealistic and abandoned in the corner began to shine.

Elemental core, universal channel, elemental siphon technology, of course, these are too advanced and cannot be perceived by everyone.

To ordinary Ghost-Eye humans, these things were the same as the giant crucible of the dark wizard in the story: incomprehensible, with strange functions, dangerous and mysterious.

But not all magical creations are like this.

The magic lamp is one of the most typical ones.

A structure that is not complicated only requires a semi-constant spell, the most inconspicuous illumination spell, which is able to emit light for a long time and stably. There is no technical threshold, but it has not really emitted light on a large scale on that day in these long years.

With its simple structure and extremely low threshold, any spell apprentice can make it easily. However, this brings about a problem that cannot be ignored. If you want the magic lamp to stay lit for a long time, there must be magic power running through the semi-constant spell structure at all times.

In the past, the Dark Eye people could not do this.

But now, this is not a big problem.

The dazzling and constant light dispelled the darkness, and magic lamps covered the entire city.

The city, which was called the Sun by the Youyan people, began to shine like the sun for the first time.

Everything is changing, in the surging elemental tide, not only the Ghost-Eyed People, the Underground Rat City, but also the dark abyss.

A change has also entered the brewing stage.

The rat people are not as naturally sensitive to elements as the Ghost-Eyed People, nor have they accumulated anything over the long years.

Those tiny traces were engraved in history, along with all kinds of fantastic ideas and the sighs of countless sages. What was left behind is the heritage of the Youyan human race.

This is something that the rat people don't have.

Their history begins with their encounter with the great gods, and so does their progress.

Apart from the endless number of rats, the monstrous killings, and the piles of corpses, the rat people's background is only made up of them.

The underground rat city was also affected by the famine caused by the rat priests, but the affected people were very limited, not even involving slave rats, after all, slave rats were protected property.

In this huge and extremely twisted holy city, the group of pilgrims of ratmen faced this crisis head-on.

They are all Du Yuan's most devout believers, but they are the only ones facing this crisis.

During this period, the birth of rat priests reached a peak, because these guys did not have many choices. They could either kneel there and pray for the favor of the god before starving to death, or they would actually starve to death.

Unexpectedly, the pilgrims were not discouraged, but became more and more fanatical.

Their bodies are emaciated, with skin and flesh clinging to their bones, looking ferocious and ugly, but they are still kneeling with concentration and calling out devoutly. Even if the crisis is over, all kinds of food that have become cheap due to hoarding will begin to circulate again.

But they still chose hunger, not for any complicated reason.

In hunger and desperation, more rat priests were born than usual, that's all.

This is an unconfirmed answer, but it is regarded as a guiding principle by these guys, and they imitate and practice it fanatically.

Or maybe he was left with nowhere else to go, and after kneeling for so long, trekking through mountains and rivers, and walking such a long distance, he was really unwilling to accept the reality that he was a talentless person.

They are so devout that they are willing to do anything.

Oh God! Why don't you bless me! Why don't you bless me!
In this accumulation of thoughts, even death is no longer so scary. Even witnessing their bodies weakening day by day and witnessing the life slowly passing away in their bodies, this process is not so scary. Death has even become a kind of relief. Until the moment of death, there will be a smile on their faces. However, in the illusion before death, most of them have become a real rat priest.

The life of a rat man is meaningless.

The dead pilgrims would be thrown into the dark abyss by the city guards.

This is a sacred city, cannibalism is not allowed.

At least it is not allowed openly.

Of course, these guys, these pilgrims were not the protagonists of that change, they were just a bunch of poor lunatics.

Not all rat people firmly believe that they can achieve what they want in such extreme pain.

Not everyone even believes they can become a rat priest.

But if you don't become a rat priest, you are destined to become a lowly rat running in the dark corners of this huge and twisted city.

Free people, free people, they are called free people, but in the eyes of the real bigwigs in the Ratman Empire, these guys are just a group of wild rats without any right of belonging.

This is a dangerous thing. After all, the death of lowly people is a normal thing.

But I can’t die, not yet.

During this time, Huishi experienced many things in the underground rat city. The blood mushrooms in his hands had been used up, and his hope of becoming a ratman priest was so slim. However, he held the leather scroll in his hand tightly and never let go.

No blood mushrooms means no food.

Without food, there is only death.

He can't die yet.

He came to the abyss, and on this continent of flesh and blood, he began to chew the skinny corpses of pilgrims in big mouthfuls in order to survive.

This is not decent, and there is not even any more hope. This dull guy is just doing his own thing as usual.

Although it's a little different from usual.

In the past, he just obeyed stupidly, but now he really wanted to do it.

He didn't want to let that guy down, even though he was already dead.

The dazed guy was chewing his arm in big mouthfuls.

It's not that there is no possibility.

Graystone witnessed a very special scene.

The flesh and blood ground squirmed in front of him, as if it were alive, swallowing up the emaciated body of a pilgrim.

Faintly, you can hear a frantic call and a burst of faint blue light.

This was a very special scene, and fortunately this stunned guy seized the opportunity.

The rat people don’t have much background, and the piled up corpses are an important part of it.

The stunned guy dropped the arm in his hand and tried to explore the pile of flesh and blood.

Although it is still unknown what will be created in the end.
