Before Snorri and the dwarves he brought could speak, the dwarves of Torrent Pass under Balentine shouted first.
"As expected of the goddess! So generous!"
"We can't embarrass Zhufuba!"
"Does it mean that if Eternal Peak has money, we in Torrent Pass will have no money?"
"That's it, let's split the spoils in half!" Balentine made up his mind after hearing the shouts of his subordinates.
"I leave that magic stone halberd to you! Only a strong person like you who has mastered the power of runes can deal with the pollution caused by the magic stone."
The dwarves call the warpstone magic stone, which is a material crystallization of chaos magic. It is powerful but extremely uncontrollable and will corrupt everything around it. We can think of it as nuclear fuel.
However, the Skaven have shown strong immunity to the radiation of Warpstone. Not only can they use dark magic powered by Warpstone, they can even apply Warpstone internally and externally in various ways to directly obtain life extension, enhanced mana and other beneficial effects.
Generally speaking, only the Gray Seers and the engineering warlocks of the Skryre clan can use dimensional magic. The former is more like a wizard in the traditional sense, while the latter uses magical energy in a more "scientific" way. The specific technology is somewhat similar to the dwarf rune blacksmith.
.
Compared with dwarf technology, rat technology driven by warpstone directly solves all energy problems with magic nuclear fuel. All that is left to do is how to guide this power.
For other races, dealing with the pollution caused by the radiation of the warpstone is already troublesome. As for the warpstone itself, it is even more of a hot potato. Dwarves usually have rune blacksmiths to carve runes to seal it.
After the rest, the dwarves on both sides searched the rat-man corpses on the ground together. They dug out about four thousand gold coins, and other equipment not worth collecting and unusable sundries were burned together with the rat-man corpses.
Ratmen carry all kinds of strange bacteria on their bodies. If they are not incinerated at high temperatures, they may contaminate water sources and even cause plague.
In the firelight ignited by the Skaven corpse, the dwarves on both sides said goodbye. "My eldest brother Gnom Skullcrusher is now in charge of Karak Varn," Snorri spoke,
"He plans to rebuild the mountain fortress and recruit immigrants to mine mineral deposits. Maybe your land can start trade with us?" Snorri started to use diplomatic rhetoric.
In his opinion, the advanced technological level of Torrent Pass will definitely speed up Big Brother's reconstruction work.
"That's natural!" Balentine said, "Our control of Shanhu Castle has been intermittent over the years, and the lack of a stable and sufficient supply of meteorite has greatly restricted our development!" He also seemed very excited.
"When I go back to report the good news, the caravan should be here soon!" Balentine continued.
"Are you going back to Shanhu Castle now? Then maybe you can come and visit us in a few days. The elders in the clan have been talking about you!" Balentine issued a warm invitation.
"That's natural. I've heard about the prosperity and advanced technology of Torrent Pass for a long time. It's great to come here and open my eyes!"
Balentine spoke out Snorri's innermost thoughts. He has always believed that technology is the primary productive force.
"Oh? Really?" Balentine was very surprised when he heard Snorri's reply.
"It's beyond my expectation that you are willing to come! As the inheritors of traditional craftsmanship, rune blacksmiths have always been at odds with engineers who represent emerging technologies! It has been a long time since a rune master was willing to visit Zhufuba!" He
His tone was very exciting.
"In my opinion," Snorri said carefully, choosing his words.
"Regardless of new technology or old traditions, as long as it can enhance the strength of our dwarves and help us revitalize the mountain kingdom, it is a good thing worth learning!"
His voice was deliberately kept very low, so that only Balentine on the opposite side could hear it. Balentine nodded after hearing this. As a native dwarf, even if he lives in a relatively open city, he can't hear these words.
It takes some time to digest.
"Well, let me take the liberty of saying, is this what you mean?" Balentine also asked quietly,
"For now, that's what I mean!" Snorri replied.
"Okay, Master Snorri, my father King Serendine will definitely be happy for your visit!" Balentine raised his voice so that the dwarves in the entire tunnel could hear him clearly.
The dwarves on both sides were eager to return to their lives. After saying goodbye to each other, they each walked in the direction they came from.
On the way back, the dwarves under Snorri changed their solemn attitude when they arrived, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.
Snorri played with the dimensional stone halberd in his hand as he walked. Just when he was bored and felt uncomfortable with the soreness of his feet, a voice suddenly came to his mind:
"The system has been upgraded. It has been detected that the host led the army to victory for the first time. New functions are now unlocked to help you recover the lost mountain fortress, retrieve the lost artifact, and restore the glory of the mountain kingdom!"
Hearing this, Snorri suddenly became excited.
Without wasting a second, he decisively opened the system. He found that the system's original function of forging weapons, equipment and runes with oath gold had been replaced by a series of ritual options.
The skill panel has not changed much except that one more skill point can be allocated for upgrading by winning in battle, and other parts remain the same.
Snorri studied the content of the ritual as he walked. The main objects of the ritual were the ancestral gods of the dwarves and a few of the most famous heroes, such as the aforementioned High King Gautry who killed the Elf Phoenix King Caledor II.
K-Starbreaker.
Sacrifice is divided into three levels according to the status of the objects of sacrifice. The lowest level is the great ancestors. There is only one choice for their sacrifices, and that is to summon their spirits to come to the mortal world. These spirits can all serve Snorri.
You can make suggestions and fight for him in all directions.
The objects in the second level are ancestors and secondary gods, and there are three levels of sacrificial offerings to them.
The lowest level is to enhance the strength of the troops under the influence of the ancestor god's authority during a period of battle. For example, worshiping Mogrim, the God of Engineers, can increase the reloading speed and shooting accuracy of the war machine;
The second level is to enhance Snorri's abilities within the authority of the ancestor god. Likewise, Mogrim can enable Snorri to master the production method of a certain type of equipment;
The highest-level ritual can directly enhance the ability of Snorri's faction in a certain aspect, such as research and development speed, personnel proficiency, etc.
The sacrifices of the three main gods are graded more carefully and produce stronger effects. The time and scope of the effect can be controlled according to the amount of sacrifice.
Take the Mother Goddess Valaya as an example. From the lowest level, she can make an army full of courage in battle and gain psychological immunity, to clear the chaos in an area, to increase the fertility of a single dwarf, a city, a faction or even the entire dwarf race.
It can be done.
