"Greed, I can hardly deny that I have it. But stop whispering. You know you cannot break my will with your magic."
"Souls belong to precious collections, and yours is especially precious. How could I give up trying?"
The mouse's head, which already had hairless pink-purple smooth skin, still had a charming smile.
"You are looking for death, Clerk."
As Eski's finger pointed at Bisis, the dimensional lightning formed blazing plasma in the air, bombarding the demon's body, and his abdomen was instantly melted out of a large black hole at the edge.
"Does this make you remember to abide by some rules here? Even if the devil can be resurrected, you will have to wait a long time to stop being enslaved by the soul furnace."
As he spoke, Esky lifted the scribe up by holding the spine inside the burnt hole.
"Can you still repair your body like this? Or can I send you to the Demon Realm of Chaos?"
But soon, the sticky touch made his eyes move down to Bisis's wound. What was not in line with Eski's understanding of ordinary demons was that in his hand, the sticky pink granulation had His claws wrapped around him.
Looking at the tentacle-like flesh sprouts that almost surrounded his claws, trying to break through the defense line of the thin layer of elemental force field isolated above, Eski followed the direction of those flesh tentacles, pinched one of them, and used his right claw to It tore off the claw and caught it in the other claw.
"It can still be repaired. This is beyond ordinary demons, Clerk Mobrier."
"It's Bisis Yin (blessed by the horned rat), my master."
The clerk covered his wound and said through gritted teeth.
"Yin (Blessing of the Horned Rat), does this suffix mean that you are too talkative, so you are treated like this by other demons?"
"Speaking of which, where are your pliers? Why didn't I see it? With the appearance of a hairless rat, could it be that your new master is guessing my interest? Does this mean that you can't completely see through my soul? "
The engineering warlock's words showed more and more contempt for the demon of Slaanesh, and he withdrew his arm from the wound of the demon that was still squirming, Eski said.
"I don't care what you and your new masters are planning, because I know you can never be eradicated."
"If you want to leave your new master's garbage to me, then stay, otherwise, leave my territory now, otherwise the next plasma will be aimed at your poor little head. "
"Okay, okay. My master, if you don't mind if I leave on foot."
With Eski's nod, the clan rats of Mede clan made way for a passage, allowing Bisis to move slowly towards the northern city gate.
Along the way, the Slaanesh demon turned back three times in the direction of Eskiland.
They even caught a clan rat leader who was sleeping in a shack on the road and wearing obsidian armor.
Bisis's tail hooked the clan rat's lower limbs, caressing his chest, making his eyes filled with feverish desire.
Eski knew very well that it was not a charm spell or anything like that, because Bisis did not have the magic power fluctuations that he had just whispered to him.
That is simply being aroused by the appearance of Bisis, the most primitive desire.
In other words, in the eyes of other clan rats, can't we see the look of Bisis in his eyes?
"Only a special group of people can see the true face of the demon of Slaanesh. Ordinary mortals cannot do this, even the Skaven with the highest Chaos resistance."
Eski murmured, causing Riel to look at Bisis over there.
The "Great Horned Rat" is still around, and they obviously won't be affected by this. It's all the fault of those ungodly heretics who deserve to be sacrificed.
"What's this?"
Riel's eyes fell on the ground, where there was a pile of paper-like things made of purple material that were stepped on by the clan rats, almost causing him to trip over.
"He really left something belonging to his new owner."
Eski walked over, picked up those things and looked through them.
"Demon forging technology? Slaanesh demon engine? These are really good things. Are souls from other worlds so valuable?"
The technology certainly cannot be taken over and used directly. We can only learn from some of its principles, and even the raw materials cannot be used.
But in this case, it would be the same as not getting these technologies.
"It doesn't seem certain."
Esky thought of what rats usually do.
"It's you, Akins. I can give you a small class. It's true that the horned rat is taking care of you."
About an hour later, Aikins, who had officially become Esky's apprentice, and his teacher appeared inside the Scully factory in the underground fortress with two large bags about the same height as them.
"Sure enough, the transportation ability of this teleportation circle is still too weak."
Esky spat.
Teleporting people and things over such a long distance not only used up the shadow wind he collected, but also consumed about one-eighth of the dimensional energy.
"Okay, my dear apprentice, start here to learn the engineering techniques I will teach you."
"Let's start with the runes first, okay?"
"You are still so ambitious, Akins, I recommend you start with the mechanical structure."
Eski stretched out his claws and pulled out the pile of rat-skin paper that Akins was holding tightly, and turned to the mechanical structure at the back.
"If you want to raise your upper limit, it's best to start with the manufacturing of these precision structures."
This way the time it takes for you to break should be delayed a bit.
Eski muttered in his mind.
He has no intention of sending another spellcaster to Slaanesh. As long as Aikins shows signs of becoming Slaanesh, he will kill him immediately.
However, before they could continue teaching and experimenting, a group of engineering warlocks broke into his factory.
"Wittrick, everyone, I didn't expect you to be here too."
Eski looked at the guard outside the door with dissatisfaction, and quickly looked away again.
Letting the Clan Rats block the Engineer Warlocks is still too much.
"There are such obvious traces of teleportation. Are we not blind?"
Vitrick spoke.
"What are you going to do this time?"
"Building roads."
Esky said with a smile.
Slaanesh's technology is very helpful for the early release of the dimensional stone generator, but this still requires Akins, a white-haired mouse, to test the toxicity.
"The mines here are sufficient, but food is still very tight. As far as I know, the Slippery Clan's transportation capacity is already at full capacity."
"My southern stronghold has another port. We can get enough supplies from the sea. As long as the transportation capacity can keep up, it is easy to supply hundreds of thousands of rats."
"But I heard that the people from the Slippery Clan are planning to use an underground river to connect your side. This may be another suspicion of betrayal."
An old engineering warlock stared at Esky with his only remaining eye and asked.
"What a good intelligence expert. You can know the movements of the Slippery Clan faster than me. How come you are here to become an engineering warlock?"
Esky said with a sneer, then shook his head with a regretful expression.
"I really don't know what you are talking about. What kind of betrayal? Is there any black and white agreement between me and the Slippery Clan?"
A group of engineering warlocks immediately became noisy.
Not only because Eski's move may mean that they may be betrayed in the same way in the future, but also because they really used their own blood to sign a black and white agreement with Eski.
"Quiet!"
Vitrik's newly installed sound amplifier from his vocal cords produced a loud sound that almost caused tinnitus among all the engineering wizards.
, and then he turned in the direction of Eski.
"What are you going to do?"
"There must be small clans here that are short of funds. Maybe I can turn them into our contractors."
As he spoke, Esky drew small circles in the air with his fingers.
"us?"
Wittrick asked.
"This is a big project. It's impossible for an engineering wizard to eat it all, right?"
Eski pushed Aikins and his rat-skin paper back, and the dimensional force field blocked the engineering warlocks from the interior of the factory, Eski said this.
"Besides, the engineering warlocks of the Skry clan must unite. This is what the chief engineering warlock and the supreme horned rat want to see."
Whitrick's eyes were cast on his former apprentice. It seemed that what the apprentice had in his hands was quite important.
He put on a kind smile and said to Eski.
"Clan Skryre? Maybe, we can go to the territories of those small clans together."
Eski smiled back.
"Of course there is no problem, my dear Grand Engineer Vitrik."
They were both engineering warlocks, and although their skills in using teleportation spells varied, it still took them less than five minutes to reach the dirtiest part of the underground fortress. A stepped rock wall carved above the pier.
This is a large settlement of various small clans.
When the Slippery Clan doesn't have enough people to unload the goods, they will often go down to help and earn a few meals of their own.
Since their physical strength is better than that of many slave rats, the Slippery Clan is also willing to hire some cheap rats as temporary labor.
Esky narrowed his eyes and stared at these familiar rock walls.
He remembered that when he first came to this ghost place, it was these guys who were dumping excrement into the underground river below, right?
Is it because of this that the stench of the river lingers for miles?
Vitrick and Esky walked up to the temporary high platform, and the former shouted.
"The Skuli clan needs auxiliary clans and workers. I will not give you too many political treaties. It is better to say that there is only one treaty. 80% of the population must be invested in the construction tasks required by Skuli when it is needed. "
"If it were the Skull in the big city, of course it wouldn't need to accommodate you so cheaply, but after all, this is the Skull on the front line, and we need you."
"In this way, you don't have to worry about starving to death without work in the future. You should all be grateful for the kindness of Chief Engineer Warlock Mosquita. Next, we..."
While Vitrik was still speaking, a burst of green smoke made Esky disappear from the podium.
In Iklit's camp, Eski looked at the warlord whose face became solemn due to his sudden appearance, and spoke directly.
"I just said directly that I want to build an underground railway from the underground fortress to Side 1 to supply food consumption for the underground fortress. Eshiliga is still on the way, so I guess he will be late for the decision."
Ikrit quickly stuffed a grape into his mouth and chewed it quickly.
"Building roads? I admit that this is good for neutralizing the fortress, but it is already time. The Gray Prophet has proposed duel rituals several times and asked for the replacement of councillors."
"If we are building roads, we need to guard the slave rats and have a stable environment. In this case, I can use the name of Scully to increase the number of troops deployed."
Esky shook his head and said.
"Also, this is for you."
As he spoke, Esky seemed to have remembered something, and took out a box from the sapphire arch. When he opened it, he found a blue glass ball wrapped in soft, fluff-filled cloth.
"What is this?"
Of course it was Trabb's legacy, but Eski didn't say it directly, tilting his head and saying.
"The new poison gas bomb, remember to stay away and attack the challenger
If you throw it away from your body, this thing can corrode the armor and the person as well. "
"It's so useful, but what about the Gray Prophet?"
Esky twitched the corner of his mouth. If this thing was really that easy to use, Trabb wouldn't have died in his hands, but he still continued to explain. Read the book
"I suggest you not to despise any spellcaster. You don't know how the wind of magic will help him when he adapts to the weather."
"However, the recent situation, in the end..."
The discussion in the warlord's camp did not last long. About four hours later, Eski met with Vitrik, who had already returned to Skull.
Looking at the rat-skin paper that Eski brought back, he started to complain directly.
"If the demolition fees are paid according to this standard, we will have to spend at least 4,000 dimensional coins. No matter how we calculate it, the money is too much." (approximately RMB 250 million)
A total of 4,000 dimensional coins is already twice the net worth of an ordinary engineering warlock.
"After all, we are inside the fortress, and I have to give the council some face."
As Esky said, he threw a map with complicated markings in front of the engineering warlocks.
"I will provide three thousand of the most elite Mede clan to join here."
"The settlement will be divided according to this. The Med clan will focus on the most critical passes nearby."
Pointing to the several roads above that lead to the Scully Industrial Zone and the Parliament, Esky marked a few red dots.
"If possible, I would like to create a small conflict and let them see the characteristics of my men."
"It's a pity that they don't want to cause small conflicts. They prefer larger conflicts. It seems that my Rat Lin will be used on my own people first."
