From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 32, Mining Mastery

The fixed talent of the ratmen is mining mastery, a useful but not that good talent. If they get plague resistance, that would be a big win.

After all, among the ratmen, a recognized weak race, the most famous faction is the Plague Ratmen.

It's a pity, but it's not useless.

Moreover, this God Card of Creation also brought Du Yuan a divine eye, which was the illusory eye floating on the stone pillar of Du Yuan's altar.

Du Yuan still didn't understand its specific function. When he wanted to send his mental power into it, he was rejected. However, every divine eye was a rare thing, and every miscellaneous book that talked about the divine eye highly praised it.

As far as I can remember, there has never been any useless ability. Maybe it has appeared but has not been recorded.

But it's not a big problem. Since Du Yuan has chosen his own altar, he has a way to convince this divine eye. He will know the effect when the time comes.

But there are also disadvantages.

This God Card of Good Fortune plus the God's Eye must be related. It is best not to leave the academy during this period of time.

I don't know what's involved behind the scenes, and who will be targeting me, but no matter what, I should be safe in the academy. After all, the dean is one of the only two medium-level gods in Yuanwang City. Although he is weaker than the city lord who is a war priest, no one dares to act rashly in the academy.

Just stay alive, Du Yuan made this decision.

Once again, he lived in seclusion.

In the clan world, during this period of time, the rat people's development of the forest was very successful.

The large forest near the mountains has been brought under control, but what is infuriating is that most of the resources in the forest were either destroyed or taken away when the Lizardmen left.

Streams were dug and blocked, demonized animals were driven away or hunted, water sources were polluted, useful demonic plants were taken away, and if the trees were tall and difficult to move, they were set on fire.

All that was left for the rats was a barren, empty and messy forest, but fortunately, the rats did not have much demand for various supplies, or even extraordinary plants, and they did not even have much demand for medical care.

If a ratman's injuries are difficult to recover from and affect his combat effectiveness, then throwing him into a lake of blood is basically the most standard answer.

There is no need to treat illnesses or recuperate, and the need for potions is replaced by blood mushrooms, so the impact is not that big, but it is quite annoying.

Moreover, even if things on the ground can be taken away and destroyed, some fixed mineral veins cannot be destroyed or taken away.

The ratmen found a copper mine in the forest, and when they were digging in the mountains, they found an iron mine in the mountains.

It’s a pity that although the mineral veins were found, the rat people simply did not have the ability to smelt metals. However, under Du Yuan’s oracle, the rat people still cleared out some caves to store these ores.

Du Yuan looked at the various minerals that were slowly accumulating in the caves in the mountains and nodded with satisfaction.

If there is an opportunity in the future, the ratmen's metal smelting should be started smoothly with these ores.

However, Du Yuan's oracle actually brought some negative effects.

At least the white rat had a headache after knowing the oracle.

Because other large projects were also being started at the same time, whether it was the excavation of a fortress at the entrance of the mountain, the construction of underground tunnels, the construction of mushroom houses, and the most important, and the one that White Rat was most concerned about, was the construction of the temple.

Not long ago, the ratmen warriors found the original camp of the Lizardmen. Perhaps because they left in a hurry, there were still a lot of infrastructure left inside that had not been destroyed, especially the temple of the heretic god.

The white rat came here from the mountains specifically to take a good look at the temple of the heretic god.

To be honest, it was just a big house made of logs, with some crude statues inside. Although Li Sheng entered the clan world earlier than Du Yuan.

However, it has not yet developed to the extent that the clan can overhaul the temple. Even when Du Yuan saw Li Sheng’s abandoned temple, he didn’t feel anything.

Some people would even sneer at Li Sheng, saying that he had so little and yet he built a temple. But Bai Shu didn't think much of it. After seeing this big wooden house, he immediately thought of the simple semi-open altar of his god.

Well, Du Yuan did have only an altar, and even the altar was quite simple and quaint, just a stone pillar with some stones piled underneath. If you have to call it a temple, then the underground cave where the stone pillar was placed should be considered one.

So, the devout white rat immediately decided to build a huge, luxurious and beautiful temple to dedicate to his god.

Until Du Yuan gave the oracle.

After a large number of slave rats were transferred to mine minerals, a large population gap appeared among the ratmen. In order to solve this problem.

More female ratmen were thrown by white rats to mate and give birth.

The ratmen are becoming more and more numerous.

However, once the number of ratmen increased, the barren and empty forest became a big problem. After all, there were almost no enemies in the empty forest except the ubiquitous goblins.

However, the selection of ratmen warriors and slave rats needs to be determined through battle.

In addition, the number of sacrifices began to decrease, and as a result, the production of blood mushrooms also began to decrease.

In order to deal with these things and to offer gifts to the gods, the first leaders' meeting in the history of the rat people was held.

The White Rat summoned Good Eyes, Long Tail, and a new leader of the Slave Rat Priests, Long Claws.

The four mice gathered in front of the altar and began to discuss countermeasures.

But in fact, it was more about giving orders and dispatching White Rat, although it was said to be a discussion of countermeasures.

Good Eyes was sent with the ratmen warriors to search the forest for suitable targets for blood sacrifice.

The long tail was required to provide food and take care of the logistics with a good look.

Long Claws had no other requirements, just to complete the oracle's instructions and mine more ore.

The White Rat sat at the location of the altar and began to organize the expansion of the altar.

Just like that, a simple meeting was concluded.

But the follow-up gave these rat leaders a huge headache.

Under the strict order of Bai Shu, Hao Yanshen, with his ratmen warriors and those young ratmen who had come in large numbers and failed the trial, began to run wildly in the vast forest in a clueless search.

In addition to growing mushrooms, Longtail also had the important task of transporting the mushrooms, and began to travel back and forth between the mountains and deep in the forest.

Only the one with long claws had it a little easier. As a priest who appeared among the slave rats, he was also a survivor of the war with the Lizardmen, and he also reaped the first wave of benefits from the talents brought by the Creation God Card.

Although digging proficiency has become a fixed talent of Du Yuan's ratman, the white rat, good eyesight, and long tail obviously will not dig holes.

But Long Claws can. With the emergence of digging proficiency, he has become extremely sensitive in digging caves. The caves he digs are not only fast, but also have never collapsed.

Naturally, he was picked up by the white rat and was specifically responsible for digging mineral veins and collecting ores.

He was ecstatic at the time, and during this period he concentrated on the mining task, which made Bai Shu feel at ease and freed up Bai Shu's energy to repair the temple.

But it is hard to say whether he can really make Bai Shu feel at ease.
