"Come and read ...... with me"

"Ah~wave~times~of~"

Next to the tunnel leading to the primeval territory of Moonlight Rat Town, in the large classroom planted with luminescent fungi around it, Long Beard was holding high the whip made by the arthropods of the red and black giant insects, pointing at fifty-six letters that glowed faintly.

It's been just over a month since Ron left the moonlight rat town deep beneath Ascatla, but his long beard has aged a lot, and the slender beard is about to fall to the top of his feet, and even the scales on his tail are beginning to fall off.

Without the physique and bloodline of a rat such as Iron Fang, Shadow, or even Scarface, he was just an ordinary moonlight rat, at most intelligent as a rat, a pet by a mage, and a few books.

"Ah~wave~times~of~"

The moonlight rats squatting in the rows below shook their heads to the rhythm of Longbeard, and a muffled reading sound followed, one of the few things Longbeard was still able to do among the few tasks that Ron had given to Longbeard before he left.

"Good!"

"Everyone's progress is fast!"

"I believe it won't be long before the moon rat language will become the lingua franca of the town. ”

This is the fifth batch of Moon Rat language training groups, and the first few groups of the most intelligent moon rats have learned the moon rat language and used it in high-level negotiations and communication - after all, compared to the instinctive chirp of the moon rat that also needs the cooperation of the front paws, the moon rat language and words with a large number of words and can be combined with each other are more useful.

And the long beard, because of his merits in teaching words, was called a teacher by the moonlight rats - this was left after a moonlight mouse asked the long beard, what humans called the elders who taught knowledge and writing.

"Squeak, Teacher!"

"There's a female rat that's about to give birth!"

"We need your blessing!"

The moonlight rat waiting for the lecture retreated, and a moonlight rat waiting at the edge of the classroom immediately walked quickly to the side of the long beard and bowed his head humbly.

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Wipe the arthropod whip clean, and Beard carefully placed it in front of a solid blackboard with fifty-six letters, then covered it with dry moss - this was the only set of teaching materials in the entire town, and Beard kept it safe.

"Let's go!"

After doing all this, Longbeard turned his head and nodded to the moonlight rat waiting on the side, so the young moonlight mouse led the way in front, and Longbeard slowly followed behind.

Soon, the Bearded Rats are at the Moon Well in the center of town, with Scarface, Shadow, and Iron Fang waiting.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Seeing the appearance of Long Beard, a female mouse lying in a nest built with soft and dry moss next to the moon well immediately breathed a sigh of relief—after delivering and baptizing hundreds of newborn cubs with his own hands, Long Beard has become an indispensable figure for the birth of cubs, and even the scarred face of the temporary patriarch cannot replace it.

"I'm already here!"

"Patriarch Ron is watching you, everything is safe, everything is warm!"

Softly comforting the mother mouse waiting to give birth, the language of the long beard has the power to calm the mind. As a result, the settled mother gave birth to a pair of relatively large twins in just a few minutes — the average number of births for this colony of moonshine rats after settling deeper underground.

Then, following the steps, Longbeard and Scarface each dipped a newborn moonlight rat cub into the spring water of the moon well, exposing only their mouth and nose - waiting quietly for thirty seconds, Longbeard and Scarface lifted the newborn moonlight rat cub high and shouted loudly.

"This is the future of the race!"

"This is the hope of prosperity!"

"Thank you, Great Patriarch Ron!"

"Let's cheer in unison! Moonlight Mouse, Ulla!"

"Ulla!"

Immediately, the moonlight rats around them raised their front paws, looked at the statue of the patriarch holding up the wine bottle with their own head mark next to the moon well, and cheered loudly.

............

Watching the mother rat about to give birth being carried to the clear spring reflecting the full moon, and then more and more moonlight rats gathered next to it, and even Scarface, Shadow, Iron Fang, and finally the long beard appeared next to the clear spring, Ron knew, for some reason, his consciousness was now attached to the statue that resembled himself next to the moon well in the middle of the moonlight rat town—he could hear, see, feel, but he couldn't speak.

Comfort, midwifery, baptism, chanting......

Ron felt quite satisfied as he watched the long beard and Scarface ritual deliver babies to the mother rats, while speaking fluently in the moon rat language.

Obviously, in the more than a month since Ron left Moonlight Rat Town, the entire Moonlight Rat leadership has not forgotten Ron's orders, but has carried them out firmly.

The entire Moonlight Rat Town has made great progress under the leadership of leaders such as Longbeard and Scarface, as can be seen from the fact that the surrounding Moonlight Rat is becoming more and more accustomed to standing upright and accustomed to the communication of Moon Rat language.

"This is the future of the race!"

"This is the hope of prosperity!"

"Thank you, Great Patriarch Ron!"

As the beard recited, Ron suddenly felt something strange in the statue he possessed—a trace of silver light fluttered from the cheering moonlight rat and connected to the statue, among which the silver light floating on the longbeard was the thickest, followed by the iron teeth.

Contented, happy, powerful.

Many good feelings rolled in Ron's consciousness with the convergence of silver light, as if the sweet wine made people intoxicated, and Ron couldn't help but immerse himself in it, unwilling to wake up.

"Let's cheer in unison! Moonlight Mouse, Ulla!"

"Ulla!"

When the final cheer rang out, two rays of light thicker than the silver light that floated from Longbeard's body snaked up from the statue, following opposite paths to the newborn cub of the Moonlight Rat held aloft by Longbeard and Scarface—and then, in a burst of tearing pain, Ron awoke from the neutrality of his beautiful feelings.

At the same time, he also understood what had just happened!

This is the most primitive totem worship!

Because of his contribution to the moonshine rat population and his own power far beyond that of the moonlight rat, Ron became the object of worship of the moonshine rats.

At the same time, because of the last miracle, a statue identical to Ron was born next to the Moon Well, which became the gathering point of the silver light of faith born of worship.

Moreover, because Ron arranged the order that all newborn cubs must be baptized in the moon well by chance, the eulogy that Longbeard came up with became the switch for the convergence of the silver light of faith, and re-infused the silver light of faith into the next generation of moonlight rat cubs!

This is the most superficial cycle, although Ron has no divinity, let alone priesthood and godhead, but with this statue and his contribution to the tribe, Ron has managed to gain the worship and faith of the moonlight rats.

And this time, the heart lake is overflowing, so that Ron and the statue finally have a mysterious connection!

It's just that, except for the pleasure and pain that comes with feeling the cycle, everything is working spontaneously.

Until Ron enters the Legend and gains divinity, all the Silver Light of Faith will ignore Ron![.]
