"Really? You really plan to transform the gods according to your ideas."
Hecate smiled sarcastically. She didn't think Eski's could succeed, but she felt that the white mouse was too arrogant. Did he think that transforming the gods was as simple as using the wind of life to get her pregnant?
"Let's try it, just in case, the gods of the Chaos Demonic Realm have no concept of time, which means that once I successfully transform, I can affect all timelines, at least all the timelines we can touch."
After saying that, Eski fell into a deep sleep.
The dark elf looked at the white mouse snoring quietly with a complicated expression. Although his body was still covered with a defensive magic called a dimensional force field, Hecate could take his life right now if she wanted to.<
/p>
However, until two days later, the white mouse was still living well in his underground fortress.
In the past few days, the earth-based fortress on the ground has begun to take shape, but the sunlight always makes the eyes uncomfortable, and Eski still likes to sleep in the dark underground.
Especially when intense reproduction tasks are required, the underground environment is more suitable for the physiological characteristics of rat people.
In the original city lord's room, there was a room that was specially polished with black stone and looked quite smooth. It was about thirty square meters in size and there was a large bed that was also carved from stone, but without any decoration.
p>
The original animal skin mattress has been replaced by Eski with the mattress he snatched from the Lahmian noble's home last time. The dark red silk sheets and quilt cover contrast sharply with the two white mouse shadows.
Eski was lying sleepily on the bed and continued to release soul magic to repair his soul. Although the effect was still minimal, he still did not give up any moment to recover from his injuries.
And next to him, who was sleeping soundly, snoring faintly from her lungs, was Elizabeth after a crazy night.
Despite the pain in his soul, the big lipstick under Eski's white hair turned red for the first time.
Smell the scent glands of the female rat, suck the musky salty liquid, bite her neck and push forward, it feels like the pain in your soul has disappeared.
Although he knew that there was a high probability that Slaanesh had done something, it was quite difficult to deliberately ignore it - and if it was Slaanesh's manipulation, the subsequent process would make him more and more boring, and the initial feeling was worth remembering.
.
If she's lucky, Elizabeth will give birth to her first cubs within four weeks.
However, because there has been no transformation, Elizabeth's situation is still at a point where there is no way to consider it.
Perhaps, her productivity rate will not be that high, the direction of her coat color cannot be selected, and it is still unknown whether her body, which has not been strengthened and modified, can undertake the task of childbearing when she has just reached sexual maturity.
Is it possible to give birth to a batch of pure white babies, or does it need to be continuously purified?
Daughter's daughter, or my daughter? Although this method of playing will cause a lot of deformities, for Skaven, this method may be worth using?
Thinking about these messy things, the slave rat who reported the news knocked on the door to inform Eski that he was ready to attend today's meeting.
When Eski got up from the bed, the castrate immediately opened it sensibly. It was also a bronze mirror that had been snatched not long after it was installed, and asked the castrate to tidy up his untidy fur with its own tongue. Only then can he open the wardrobe and choose which outfit to wear today.
Looking at the clothes in front of him, Esky was confused.
Even though they were captured from Lahmia and didn't fit very well, they were still the best clothes he could get before Side 1's clothing industry was established.
Different colors will affect the effect of magic. After thinking about it for a long time, Esky chose a yellow and green suit for himself, and put on a suit of animal skin and iron armor for himself. Only then was he relatively satisfied.
Pick up the staff on the weapon rack at the door and prepare to leave.
Before leaving, Eski knocked his head in severe pain, remembered to tell the castrate to prepare breakfast for Elizabeth today, and quickly put away the bronze mirror.
Although this kind of metal mirror can achieve the same effect as a glass mirror, it will soon turn yellow and dim, and a coppersmith will have to re-polished the mirror to return it to its original effect.
In view of the current state of the Ratman's craftsmanship, it would be better to save a little.
As soon as he arrived at the hall, Eski was shocked by the heat wave inside and quickly poured the coolness of the wind of life into the hall. The plants growing on both sides and a large amount of cold spring water formed a natural air conditioner, which finally reduced the indoor temperature.
Becoming a little bit normal.
This kind of heat is of course due to the fact that the space that originally seemed quite empty and has been expanded to about 26 meters long and 13 meters wide is now densely populated by a lot of rats.
In addition to the twelve rats on the thirteen chairs, there were hundreds of not-so-shabby Skaven who were surrounding the conference table and watching them.
This was caused by an order given to Hecate by Eski before entering the room last night. He requested that 168 representatives of all groups in the city, including Hecate, be summoned to the council hall for a meeting this morning.
.
Although among the rats standing aside, there were even some among the clan rats who were obviously trying to make up the numbers, Eski counted carefully and found that they had indeed made up enough.
"So, everyone is here?"
It wasn't until he sat on the main seat that Esky found that most of the lords were just looking at him warily. Only Hecate had no hostility in her eyes, which made him frown.
Eski understands that this is a matter of course. Apart from the fanaticism in the eyes of the Mede clan and the obedience of the apprentices of the Skry clan, the vigilance of these clans comes from the unfamiliarity with the master of his city.
In the past few months, except for his constant dispatch of orders and teaching apprentices in public areas, he had almost no control over anything in the city. These Skaven were more familiar with the dark elves than he was.
"Side1 is already a big city with a population of tens of thousands of rats. Thirteen representatives cannot manage all affairs in the city."
"Furthermore, my establishment of a thirteen-person council in a small place is disrespectful to the Horned Rat. Only 169 members can express their respect for the Horned Rat."
"So, in my Side1, everyone present is a member of the city council."
Hearing this, the Skaven present were not happy, but most of the Skaven standing immediately became arrogant.
No matter how decentralized the power of parliamentarians is, at least they have access to political decision-making.
Eski didn't take much time to pay attention to their emotions. He just pressed a report sheet handed over by Hecate on the table.
"My slave Hecate has sorted out the production capacity statistics for me in the past period. The first thing that matters is that there is a particular shortage of building materials required for city construction, including stone and wood."
"Even our iron mines can't produce enough ore."
"The main reason for the reduction in stone and iron ore production is that damaged tools cannot be replaced. After verification, our mine scraps about 400 pickaxes and other tools every day."
"Scary's current production line is mainly concentrated in the underground fortress. Side1's handicraft workshop cannot produce a sufficient number of pickaxes. At the same time, it will also cause a waste of wood, resulting in insufficient wood."
"Even if I can build a tool manufacturing factory, the construction of the railway ahead will be caused by the shortage of wood. As a result, there will be even less wood."
"So, I am going to solve the wood production problem first."
"Having said that, I do not intend to build logging camps on the ground at will, and all non-permitted logging activities on the ground are absolutely prohibited as before, otherwise our land will soon be so desolate that no grass will grow."<
/p>
Having said this, Eski's scarlet eyes issued a warning to the other Skaven, blooming with green light that frightened the Skaven.
"Whoever prevents grass from growing on my land, I will use his meat to fertilize, maybe the grass will grow back."
After saying that, looking at those people who were eagerly waiting for him to give him a solution, Esky sighed and said.
"My mana pool combined with the warpstone is enough to produce a batch of wood that is enough for us to use for three months. After that, we can rely on my apprentices."
The representatives of the small clans immediately looked happy, at least their shacks should be updated.
However, Eski changed the subject and spoke viciously.
"All rats, please remember to me that excessive use of warpstone has caused serious corruption problems on the land. Outside the designated areas, no one, including my apprentices, is allowed to use warpstone without my approval!"
"I don't want the corruption to spread so that our fields can't grow anything but black corn."
"I'm tired of eating that stuff in Skaven. If anyone lets me go back to eat that stuff again, I'll take off your head and stew it in soup."
After saying that, a group of ratmen from small clans and even big clans looked at Eski in confusion.
They have heard that black corn is exclusive to Skavenmord, and if you eat it, you will be as noble as the breeder father of Skavenmord.
Eski didn't want to explain anything, and just asked the clerk on the side to formulate the text content, and jumped directly to the second motion with the other people present.
"The second item is the city's sewage treatment problem. It cannot be dumped randomly outside the main avenues like it is now."
"Sewage treatment must have established procedures, and it is not allowed to be discharged into underground rivers and the sea to pollute water sources."
"But they are also dumping upstream."
A Skaven who looked like a boat rat and had the familiar odor of a boat rat stood up and spoke.
"Whoever falls will be destroyed."
Eski said viciously.
"Let the Mede clan go fifty kilometers upriver and wipe out all the clans that pollute, and vote by show of hands if they agree."
Hearing this, almost all the rats raised their hands. Presumably, they also hope to drink relatively clean water, not to mention that they don't need to send troops.
"Then pass."
After saying this, the document was approved and put aside by the temporary clerk on the side.
At this time, Aikins stood up from the right side of Eski. He was the only one among the five apprentice councilors who was appointed by Eski.
He suggested.
"How about pouring the sewage in the city into the monster's cave below the parliament."
Esky immediately stared at him with wide eyes.
"If the methane explodes, will I hold you responsible?"
Of course the white-haired rat knows that with such a large space down there, such a high temperature, and an environment friendly to the wind of fire, the sewage may not have a chance to turn into methane, but there is still a dragon down there.
If the dragon wakes up from its stench, wouldn't the first thing you do is to spray it at the parliament building above?
"I didn't think carefully."
Aikins, who was completely unable to touch, could only lower his head and slowly retreat, maintaining respect for his teacher.
"First find a way to send the feces to the ground and pile it up, and then we will see if it can be used as agricultural waste."
After saying that, Eski jumped directly to the next motion.
"Then there is the third item, the construction of the railway. We have contracted the transportation of dimensional stone, so we need this thing to be transported by sea at our port. This will also require the port to be expanded, but we will talk about that later."
"Concerning the construction of the railway, the small clans in the underground fortress are asking for too high a price. When they ask for a price next time, they will not be needed. I will personally supervise and lead the construction of the apprentices."
Looking at the incomprehensible looks in the rats' eyes, Eski said again.
"Don't worry, I don't need your help."
As soon as these words came out, all the apprentice councilors looked at Eski.
Akins, who originally pretended to be quite submissive, even directly asked loudly.
"Teacher, what do you mean?!"
Eski said to them indifferently.
"It's time to teach you the Wind of Life. The permanent transformation of the Wind of Metal is combined with the life generation of the Wind of Life. You won't need too many slave rats. Maybe you can build a railway in a short time.
Come out."
Having said this, Eski said to Aikins relatively proudly.
"I have considered that the previous problem was lack of cash, so I need to work in areas that do not require dimension stones. For us, the Wind of Magic happens to be free of money."
Hearing this, Aikins' voice rose a little higher, and his tail swayed restlessly on the ground.
"Then wouldn't we apprentices become slave rats!?"
Esky acted carelessly and shouted sharply.
"What are you talking about? Do you still want to learn magic!? I have the right to control the front line of the Skuli clan. This means that whether you are an engineering warlock and whether you are a member of the Skuli clan, these evaluation qualifications are all up to me.
In hand."
"Once you are no longer the Skrei clan, see if you can survive in the underground empire by using magic."
At this time, another brown-haired apprentice who was a member of Parliament stood up. Esky took a look and found that although he didn't know his name, he should have been a slave rat, which could be seen from the whip marks on his hands.
He respectfully lowered his head to Eski and exposed his neck.
"I am a slave rat. I only rely on the teacher's appreciation. Saving dimension stones for the teacher is what I should do."
Akins angrily wanted to use his tail to whip the junior fellow apprentice, but was immediately held back by another member of the group beside him.
Eski said to him quickly.
"Don't be so gloomy. When our stronghold develops, we will compensate you for your share."
"Moreover, permanent transformation and life generation can deepen your understanding of these two winds of magic to the greatest extent. The teacher is doing it for your own good."
