Chapter 250: Medieval Warhammer
The ancient trees are towering to the sky, the freezing fog is pervasive, and it is not real to see more than ten meters away, and the forest is secluded and misty.
Selene sniffled and whispered, "The smell of death." β
Hermione grimaced and said, "Evil is entrenched here. β
Maria did not speak, she had always said very little, but she drew from her waist the long broiler inlaid with the honeysuckle pattern, which she had worn when she was an attendant to Kane in 1853.
Kane reminded: "Watch out for the plague infection, very powerful, comparable to chemical weapons. β
Hearing him say this, Hermione and the others cast spells to change their costumes, first using the purification technique, and then during the duration of the spell effect, they used the method of disguise, and in an instant, the magic transformation polymer onesie with a better effect than the chemical protection suit was on the body. Once the mask with a filter is worn, the professional-level configuration is complete.
Discerning the next direction, Kane took the lead, and Hermione followed behind him in three turns.
After a while, I saw the bones of a human being, and it looked like a family, a man and a woman, and two children, all dead, and it had been a while, even on this cold winter day, there were still maggots on the corpses.
Kane glanced at it seemingly casually, and then passed by directly with an expressionless face, and Maria also had the same virtue as him, and they all looked unmoved.
CΓ©line was accustomed to being Hermione's guard and secretary, and described it simply: "Dressed in a medieval costume, with a crossbow arrow wound, and died from a sword wound." β
Hermione reached out and nodded at the corpse, and several bright stars flew out of her fingertips, and when they didn't enter the corpse, they burst into holy white flames, and in the middle of a breath, they completely turned to ashes.
I didn't go far, and I saw the corpses exposed in the woodland, the same humans, and the clothes were also civilians.
Hermione frowned, this mode of violent corpses simply fuels the ravages of epidemics, even if it is winter, it is very effective, look at those maggots, you know how strong the survival ability of the insects in this world is, and this is directly related to the effect of spreading the virus.
She realized that someone had deliberately turned the good woodland into a place of evil, and that the smog was presumably filled with deadly viruses.
Just as she shot out the Light Purifying Flame again, she faintly heard a cry.
Then Kane was seen heading that way.
From what she knew about Kane, Kane probably didn't really care about the life he was calling, he cared about the value of his intelligence.
Kane really didn't care, if he wasn't wrong about the events and time, then three-quarters of the population of the Human Empire would have died from this pandemic, which was an astronomical number, and when brought into reality, it was a death scene that numbed ordinary people. And now, it is estimated that it is already in the middle and late stages of the epidemic.
Kane and his party were soon met with a shout.
It also looks like a family, middle-aged men and women, a boy, an old man, the old man and the middle-aged man, and the boy's facial contours, eyebrows and eyes are highly similar.
It was the middle-aged man who was called, he had been shot in the leg, it was a crossbow arrow, it was very deep, it was probably because of the pain that he exclaimed, and when Kane saw them, the old man and the middle-aged woman were running away with him.
In Hermione's eyes, the theme of this scene is that the family has a deep affection and does not give up or give up.
In Kane's eyes, it is necessary to be colder, losing the only strong labor in the family, it is difficult for the combination of old and weak women to survive, and it is indeed necessary to rescue.
The pursuers were approaching, and the shadows swayed between the mist and the trees.
Kane nodded at Maria, and Maria vanished as an afterimage, the mud and dead leaves on the ground fluttering with her hard stomping.
In the time of a few breaths, a shrill and short cry came from the forest, the last wail before the dying.
Soon there was silence, and after a short while, the figure flashed, and Maria appeared in front of Kane, casually scattering her hands in the clearing, and a dozen large rats in human form appeared in the clearing, along with their weapons.
Kane reached out and flipped through the air a few times, then nodded at Maria again.
Maria realized again and began to draw a magic circle in the open space next to her.
Hermione looked at it, a little disappointed, but more happy.
The loss is naturally because Maria understands Kane better than her, and the joy is because in the parallel world she came from, Kane's shadow guard has not been in place (largely because the growth is too fast, and the shadow guard can't keep up with the pace of growth), and there is no strong lieutenant, which is an important reason why Kane finally died in battle. And now, this shortcoming has been filled early.
By this time, Kane had already spoken to the fleeing family, and he said to the family with fear and trepidation in their eyes in the lingua franca of the Empire with an Aldorf accent: "You are sick, you are obeyed, you are rescued, or you are left to fend for yourselves." β
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she blurted out, "You can really cure the Black Death?"
The old man hurriedly answered, and said humbly: "My lords, please forgive me, country women, we are rude and rude, and we are willing to obey any orders." β
Kane nodded, turned to Hermione and said, "Okay, Holy Mother, the old man should be able to get more information from him." β
So Hermione walked over, she didn't speak the lingua franca of the Empire, but for a god-level existence, psychic communication was a basic ability, and her voice sounded directly in the old man's head......
Kane has experienced so much that he wants to vomit, and he has no interest at all, and he has to deal with even the most basic treatment, so he handed it over to Hermione, and he went to tinker with those night running rats.
Skaven, one of the evil races in the medieval Warhammer world, is the biggest beneficiary of the battle of the end, from the black technology of biotechnology and evil technology to the flying minions of chaos.
And these in front of you, just look at the clothes, you know, are the notorious night running rats, they are fast troops, mountain troops, sneak attack and beat the master of the stick, there is a certain ninja style.
That's right, as a low-dimensional universe born in the Origin World, the Medieval Warhammer is full of various elements of human civilization in the Origin World, and even the world map is very similar.
The geographical location of the human empire is a large area of central Europe, Germany and Austria-Hungary.
Maria was still drawing the circle there, while Kane took one out of his backpack and, with a shake of his hand, formed a camping facility in the clearing.
Kane's Frontier Research Station, compared to Kane's magic tent when he visited the Lovegood family, is much more complex and used, it is not for enjoyment and pretending, but for scientific research.
The blood of the night running rat was drawn, analyzed, and after a series of calculations, an alternative was available.
Kane flipped through it a few times, and knew what to expect.
As he thought, the genes of ordinary Skaven rat people are still a little weaker, if you want to find really valuable rat genes, the leader of the thirteen clans or the albino pro-guard rat should be a good choice, of course, it is better to have the big horned rat who became the fifth god of chaos in the final battle, but if you want to get the blood of the big horn rat, you have to completely the Skaven rat, which is not easy.
Kane finally chose the ferocious rat transformation scheme characteristic of the DND universe, atavistic mutation + dark destruction.
The brain-dead Night Runner was thrown into the magic circle,
The muscles under the skin squirmed wildly, scales, horns, bone spurs, etc. were generated, and the original straightened was only about 1.4 meters, but now it has been straightened by more than 1.8 meters, and the weight has more than doubled, more than 200 pounds.
The Skaven rat people who are good at biological black technology are large, like rat trolls, ogres, and storm rats. But that's the best of the best, and it's expensive.
Kane's method is much cheaper and more versatile, and these brutal nezumi with dragonborn features in the final appearance are the flesh golem series in the golem family.
The brain is a good thing, it is also a golem, the flesh golem tends to be smarter, and the flesh golem artificially modified by the Skaven rat whose wisdom does not belong to the human is the best among them.
"Apart from the yield, nothing else. Kane looked at the sturdy rat man in front of him and said with some pride.
The Skaven Rat Man was most criticized by Kane for its worm tail, which was more disgusting than the fleshy rat tail, like the body of a barley worm, with a few hairs in the bare section.
Now, it has been replaced by a lizard-tail-like scaly tail, which is thicker and more advantageous, helping to keep your body balanced when running.
It must be said that although the Skaven in human form is still very fast, it is still much worse than the real beasts that are known for their speed and agility, and this atavistic structure allows them to gain the speed of a velociraptor
"It's hard to associate with rats anymore, like lizardmen. Hermione said.
She has already taken care of that family, and she is gently rubbing her temples at the moment, after all, it is not the body, and she has obtained too much information at once, and she feels more strained and has a headache.
But correspondingly, I can also talk to Kane.
The Lizardmen are the second oldest race in the Warhammer World (also known as the Old World) after the Dragons, and like the trolls in the World of Warcraft, the Lizardmen once had a glorious civilization.
Now the lizardfolk are in decline, thriving on the land of South America, which is analogous to the Earth. They are the most decent species of the Old World, the kind that do good deeds without a name and no one is grateful.
Of course, this is the result of analysis from the big perspective, camp, concept, and performance at critical moments, in fact, their Aztec civilization style is extremely strong, and it does not get along well with other group forces.
Especially for humans who are accustomed to looking at faces, appearance is justice, appearance is original sin, coupled with the characteristics of lizardmen who are sensitive to action and reluctant to speak, so it is easy to happen such a scene:
"Monster! Don't come here. β
Bang bang! boom! Musket + artillery, the lizardmen were attacked for no reason, and fought back, so they became enemies.
Therefore, the information that Hermione obtained about the lizardmen was the opposite, one of the many monsters that humans need to face. Of course, there are no muskets and artillery in this era, and this year is the year 1112 of the imperial calendar, and compared with the human civilization on the earth, the scientific and technological level of the Warhammer World Human Empire is higher, almost the level of the 13th century in Europe.
The interesting point is that if the barbarians in northern Europe had not destroyed the ancient Roman Empire, but allowed it to evolve on its own, then the technological level of the current Warhammer Human Empire would have been much higher. And in the world of Warhammer, the empire is precisely the social system of the ancient Roman era, and the emperor was born from the elector.
After learning the year, Kane silently calculated that the current emperor of the empire, Boris the Richer, was about to burp now. Either he died this winter, or he died next spring, and the specific date was hidden for a while, so it became a mystery.
After that, the major event of the empire was the Battle of the Roaring Hills in 1124. Mandred, one of the Electors, led an expeditionary force and completely drove the nezumi out of the empire, so the elector, known as the 'Nezumi Killer', was elected emperor.
In 1152, Mandred was assassinated by nezumi assassins, the Elector was unable to agree on the next candidate, and the empire was divided into a long dark age of warlordism, and the level of suffering against the backdrop of alien and chaotic forces cannot be overstated.
"The world of Warhammer, Hope is dead, and in terms of despair and darkness, there is nothing but the world of Cthun that can be ahead of it. β
"Do you know what I hate most about this world?"
"What?" asked Hermione.
"The four evil gods of subspace are forced to have a low personality and a low godhead, staring at human beings all day and night to play and ravage, either sending thugs or rolling up their sleeves in person. In my previous life, I had problems that I had to be bound by, and in this life, I have encountered them, and I will eventually make them regret being born in this universe!"
"Such a big grudge?"
"Hmph, look at it, these evil gods born from primordial evil thoughts, this kind of wild faith gods, are just good-for-nothing scum!"
Kane does have a special hatred for the four evil gods of subspace, and the reason is simple, they can be said to be the most antagonistic villains to him.
Kane pursues the principles of order, creativity, and rational self-discipline. The four evil gods are the path of chaos, destruction, and sensual indulgence.
The gods of the Cthulhu line are evil, but they are not so targeted. And people are very high, they don't like to take care of human beings, and they don't have so much time to waste time on ants.
The four subspace gods of the Warhammer universe are not, quite tasteless, endless, from the medieval warhammer to the warhammer 40K, all the way to the death.
Kane can't get used to this kind of top powerful people bullying the little fart people every day for fun, and he really doesn't want Bilian at all.
It can be said that the four evil gods of Warhammer and Kane are not dealing with each other, and they naturally become enemies, Kane pondered, and when he swallowed subspace with the dark dimension and deprived him of the power of darkness, he wanted to see how those four pretended to play chaos with him.
