As the saying goes, height determines your vision, and your level determines the scenery in your vision.

This phrase is also very appropriate in the wizarding world.

Just like at the first university, there is a huge difference in the scenery you see from different heights. For example, standing at the height of the Great Wizard, you can see the bright, boundless starry sky overhead, while standing at the height of the Magician, you can only see whether there are fierce beasts at the edge of the silent forest a hundred meters away. Another example is standing above the surface, looking up to see the sun and the moon, looking down at the soft lawn, the silent forest in the distance, and the noisy market nearby, and standing below the surface, you can only touch a dark world.

This dark world is built between the criss-crossing sewers and the hidden grottoes eroded by the earth dragons. And the owner of this world belongs to a group of rats in clothes.

Of course, the rats weren't the natural owners of this dark world—before them, it had belonged to slippery reptiles, eight-legged insects, mutant goblins, and some filthy necromancy. But since the first clothed rat came into the world sixty years ago, all the once dominant races have fallen silent, replaced by more and more clothed rats between the sewers and the grottoes.

Unlike the scrawny, mottled rats that begged for a living in the sewers, these clothed rats seem to have a self-consistent civilization and social organization. They run schools, organize fairs, set up handicrafts, create financial institutions, repair broken pipes and weathered grottoes in this dark world—if you ignore the appearance of these rats and the dark colors of this world, there is no significant difference between this place and the human society outside, or even with other civilizations in the alien world. At most, it's just a little backward in terms of civilization.

Compared to these rats, the natives of the underworld are obviously more backward in civilization: reptiles like to live alone and do not like to talk, eight-legged insects are too cruel and unpleasant, mutant goblins are organized and verbal, but their greedy nature can destroy any kind of economic system, and as for the necromancers, they have no interest in the society of living beings, they are more concerned about when there is a chance to capture a few lonely creatures and draw a little vitality and have fun.

As the saying goes, if you are backward, you will be beaten, and this is also an unbreakable truth in nature.

The rats in clothes, with their strong organizational skills and advanced social forms, soon swept the entire underground world with a crushing force. The reptiles either fled into the desert or became pets of the clothed mice, while the eight-legged insects encountered even more brutal creatures - the clothed rats found these thin-skinned and juicy creatures so delicious that they kept them as snacks;

The necromancy has been banished, leaving only a few sturdy mutant goblins, who have become the favorite coolies of the clothed rats, and are sent to the bottom of the underworld to help the rats mine and repair the sewers and clean up the filth that runs down the ground.

The situation is so tragic that many of the natives of the underworld have begun to hope that the surface wizards will come and clean up the lawless rats, even at the cost of dying with them. As the saying goes, 'time is mourning, and you are dying'.

As the true master of Phuket Island, First University naturally does not turn a blind eye to a nascent society that is close at hand. As early as the opening of the first night school of rats, First University sent an observation team organized by professors and researchers to the underground world to observe the actions of this new society.

But contrary to the expectations of the underground natives, after a period of observation and research, those 'surface people' only slightly modified the enveloping scope of the school's protection array, redrew many guardian formations, and ignored this dark world, as if they had never found anything abnormal—and the natives of this dark world did not even become a keyword in those wizard observation reports.

As a result, the clothed rat has truly become the new master of this world. And they also have an official name in the correspondence of the First University - the rat clan.

Compared with the mature social form of the surface people, the social form of the rat people is still very rough and backward. Their society is very rigid pyramidal: at the top of the entire race are the first rats to come to this underground world, called 'Old Ancestor' by the entire Rat Clan, and under this Old Ancestor are the first clothed rats he bred—most of these rats are now sixty or seventy years old, and they have long exceeded the life limit of the average rat race, but they still survive somehow—this group of rats, about twenty or thirty of them, are called 'elders' by the rats.

Under the elders, there are batches of new-generation clothed rats. These new generations wear vests of different colors according to their age, job, status, etc. For example, small mice under the age of one are only allowed to wear yellow vests and are not allowed to go out of the underground world, and most of their jobs are also light tasks such as taking care of bugs and going to school on time;

Because being out in the field means they can get out of this dark world and go to a world where they can supposedly see the red sun and yellow moon, as well as the starry sky.

However, if they want to wear green vests, these rats must take a knowledge and ability test once a month, which includes language, arithmetic, ground knowledge and hole-making skills, and only the rats in Tsing Yi with an average score of good or above will be allowed to work in the surface world.

After these Tsing Yi rats returned from the field, they all needed to complete their respective work reports and face the rat elders one-on-one. If some of these reports exceed expectations, they will still be qualified to meet with the ancestor who has ignored the mundane for a long time.

It's like two mice in cyan vests, Jingle Ears and Ding Dong Ears.

One of them met a black cat that could speak human words, and the other not only met a black cat that could speak human words, but also made a deal with the black cat. This matter is beyond the purview of the Rat Clan Elder.

And now, the two green-clad rats were waiting outside the elder's office, waiting for some Rat Clan elder to take them to that sacred place to meet their ancestors.
