Section 12 Evolution

Like the wind gently blowing ripples in a pond, something seems to be quietly but irreversibly changing.

The Baku Clan, a clan that has never been prominent and now in decline, has moved to the frontier of the Nezumi Underworld. This was meant to be an expression of vigilance, weakness, and evasion, but in fact, more and more caravans were coming and going to the new territory of the Baku people.

It may have started as a small, unremarkable deal, but by the time everyone realized that something was wrong, the Baku's new territory had become a bustling trading center. The main reason for this effect is that the Baku people buy a large number of various materials.

And all of them are paid in cash with magic stones, the currency of the nezumi society.

This may be due to the fact that the Baku have accidentally discovered an ownerless vein of magic stone in this remote place. The more you hear this, the more similar it becomes, because the current place of the Baku people is not very far from Karak-Grom, and it makes perfect sense to say that one of the rich magic stone veins there extends farther and reaches the territory of the Baku people. Therefore, although this matter has caused a certain amount of suspicion and covetousness, it is not a big deal for the high-level of the rat people.

But there's another thing that's a little stranger. A mysterious alchemical liquid, a valuable medicine that can effectively prolong the life of the nezumen, suddenly appeared in the nezumi society and began to circulate. One of the most typical examples of this is the Great Grey Prophet. Everyone knew that the Great Grey Prophet had already entered old age, and his body had become sluggish and decrepit. But whoever met the Great Prophet now would be amazed. Because the religious leader of the rat people has been rejuvenated and completely rejuvenated.

Not only that, but the Great Prophet also generously rewarded the Grey Prophets who had done a good job and sworn allegiance to the Rat God (although each Grey Prophet was a fanatical believer in the Rat God, there was always a distinction between the Grey Prophets and the Rat God). Of course, the amount of potion they received was not large, not as exaggerated as that of the Great Prophet, but its rejuvenating effect was unquestionable.

This life-prolonging elixir suddenly became a treasure that countless nezumi lords were striving for, and it became a sky-high commodity in the market. But unfortunately, there is no market for life extension pills. All the grey prophets, including the Great Prophet, were silent about the origin of the potion. And the number of such potions that appear in the bazaar is pitiful, and even a bottle of potion can cause a war between two clans.

Of course, for the world of the rat people, as long as they are willing to invest, there is no secret. Under the influence of bribery, kidnapping, black letters, blackmail, etc., the secret was leaked from one of the personal followers of a gray prophet. The potion came from the Baku tribe, the warlord of the Baku tribe, the chosen one of the rat gods, and the abyss lord Ashrufat, who created this magical potion.

Secret news spread quickly. While many clans were struggling in the market for this mysterious life-prolonging potion, other Nezumi lords took a very different approach.

While many mysterious people were searching for the source of this rare potion, Ashruphat was doing something else, and that was to teach his right-hand man Shaka the secret recipe for concocting the potion.

“...... The catalyst, one to four, is diluted with water. Ashrufat watched Shaka's every move and reminded him at the same time.

It has to be said that this brown-furred nezumi is not only intelligent, but also quite agile in his movements, and he quickly mastered the techniques taught by Ashrufat.

"Pour the diluted catalyst into the potion, and add the polished magic stone powder, pay attention to the amount. Ashrufat continued to instruct. Shaka easily followed the instructions and completed the steps.

"At the end of the day, you have to mix it with water. A one-to-one is a normal life-prolonging agent, but a one-to-two will completely disappear the effect of the medicine when the color and smell of the medicine are basically unchanged. If the amount of water is insufficient, it will lead to increased toxicity and directly poison the drinker. Ashrufat instructed. "This is the most crucial thing, and you have to keep it in mind. ”

"Understood...... Understood, master!" Shaka nodded busily. It must be said that purely in terms of individual intelligence, in fact, the intelligence and ability of the rat people are not inferior to humans. For example, this Shaka, he was learning much faster than Ashrufat expected, and more importantly, the brown-skinned rat man didn't need Ashrufat's explanation to understand the significance of what he had learned.

This is a technique that is powerful enough to exert influence on the entire Nezumi society. Even in Shaka's illusory dreams, he had never had such delusions.

"You do it again. Ashrufat ordered. Shaka started immediately, starting from the first step and working his way up to the last step. When the last step was done, he mixed it with a one-to-one water and took a sip of it.

"Very well, so that in case I have something to do, you should be able to guarantee the production of this potion. Remember, you can't teach anyone this technique, you only need to know how to concoct it. If I knew that this recipe was going to be circulated......"

"No...... No, the host, Shaka will keep it a secret, definitely not ......."

"Even if you spread it, it's useless. In her head, Carrie let out a grinning laugh. "The core technique, the manufacture of this special catalyst, is a secret. ”

"You can leave. Ashrufat said, and Shaka hurried out of Ashrufat's room. Now, Ashrufat is left alone.

"It's good, so that all aspects of the arrangement are basically done. In her mind, Carrie said.

"Carrie, why do you want to teach Shaka how to make it?" Ashrufat asked in his mind. Carrie's approach made him a little puzzled. "Wouldn't it be better for me to make as many as I can at once?"

"Because...... Let's put it this way, master, we can't accumulate too many finished products, because there will be a danger of theft. In that case, you may have to cry without tears. ”

"But Shaka...... If the recipe leaks, go to ......"

"Master, Anla, this biological catalyst is specially made, as long as they can't decipher the composition of this catalyst, it is impossible to make a life extension potion in batches. ”

"But......" Ashrufat hesitated. Although he trusts Carrie, he now feels a little uneasy, because in his opinion, the manufacture of such a catalyst is not complicated.

"You're worried about this being interpreted......? Master, let's put it this way, if these rat people know the basic principles behind the operation of this potion, then it is very simple to decipher this potion and make it in batches. However, a large number of basic theories of life theory are involved, including philosophy, biology, spirituality, genetics, genetics, and ...... If the nezumi had mastered these basic theories, we wouldn't be here at all! and the beasts they created weren't so crude and primitive. In fact, it can be seen from those war beasts that the life theory of the nezumi clan is still in a very primitive stage, and they are in the process of exploring from low to high! Even if they don't take any detours, then they will at least need at least hundreds of centuries according to the time of this world, before they can correctly master these theoretical knowledge. ”

"So, the nezumi want to get the most out of their life-prolonging potion......

"Not in a few thousand years!" Carrie replied categorically. "Even if the Rat God comes forward, it won't work. The old model, which had long passed its useful life, had limited knowledge, how could it be compared to me. ”

Eshurufat clearly sensed that Carrie seemed to be growing more and more confident - since being "activated" by the rat god (although Eshurufat didn't really understand what this meant), Carrie had changed significantly. She's ...... to the nezumi now There is a condescending attitude towards many things. Of course, from an objective point of view, Carrie is indeed qualified to do so.

The two things she invented this time alone belong to that incredible anti-heaven existence.

"Well, in my opinion, the biggest benefit of teaching Shaka this method of preparing potions is that it saves you time. Carrie said suddenly. "You can't stay anywhere and prepare your dispensing whenever you want. If you do too much at once, you run the risk of theft. All in all, it's a good thing, but it shouldn't limit your activities. ”

Even Ashrufat had to admit that Carrie was indeed an extremely rational being. She does not have the character traits of a normal person, who is stingy, suffers from gains and losses, and looks ahead. She can see clearly what is important and what is secondary, and she can not hesitate to give up many things that others cannot give up. Although Ashrufat considered himself a brave and decisive man, in some ways he was far from Carrie.

"Master, if you want to push the whole nezumi into the war, this life-prolonging potion is second-hand. Carrie said. "According to our plan, we should prepare with both hands, right?"

"By now, the Great Grey Prophet must have relayed the message about the mysterious life-prolonging potion. Ashrufat said. "In a little while, there should be a large number of guests visiting me asking for this potion. ”

"It's likely to be mixed in with a lot of threats. Carrie seemed to be laughing. "But in any case, it's a very powerful knife. With this 'knife', you have a second weapon besides your religious beliefs to threaten others at the Abyss Conference. ”

"Yes," replied Ashrufat.

"But until then, let's sell the existing life-prolonging potions at a good price. Carrie said. "If I'm right, there will be emissaries and diplomats who come to bargain with you during this time. In addition to selling the potion for a sky-high price, you must also exchange it for other political benefits. Remember, this rat-man society is good, but our real base camp is in Sylvania!"

Where is this underground world good...... Ashrufat actually wanted to refute it, but he still forgot about it.

"Well, that's it. Three elements that can get the nezumi into the war...... Through the religious influence of the Rat God and the Great Prophet of Greypaw, they can play an important role in promoting the middle and lower classes of society. Privately using life-prolonging potions to hijack can effectively exert influence and threaten the upper echelons of society by tying them to your chariot......"
