Chapter 405: The Dream of the Nezumik
Levi didn't feel anything wrong when he played games by himself in his previous life.
The basic traditional cos-playing games are usually rare and powerful orange suits, so it is not hesitant to kill the Warlock teammates before unboxing.
But for now... I always feel that this dragon skin armor and other things are no different from the human skin mask in the Silence Lambs...
Oh, maybe it's a little different, after all, this is when I fell asleep, so... More like dead skin buckled off when you have athlete's foot?
Thinking of this, Levi first made himself sick enough...
In the end, he couldn't muster up the courage to send it to Miss Frost Giant himself.
Instead, he wrote a thank-you note and asked Remlu, who was about to rush back to the market to sell grilled fish, to take a trip on his behalf.
After leaving Ig's, Levi transformed into a fish-man again, and continued to visit the other workshops of the Zeelandia Underground Magic Research Institute except for the Golem Workshop, which was something that the last group inspection did not have time to do.
After all, as a person who has come before, I know that the so-called 'leader' inspections are often routine under some glamorous whitewash, and it is difficult to see the real problem.
This is also why some back doors and side windows have become places where the head teacher often 'ghost probes'.
Even though it is easy to cause psychological shadows to some family members and employees, Levi still enjoys it.
"Hey, after all, I've lived the way I ever hated it." ’
Li Wei said with emotion.
After forty-six years of expansion and refinement, the entire Demon Research Institute and his memory have changed beyond recognition.
However, it is generally in accordance with the proposal before sleeping, according to different disciplines, and according to the current stage of different demand progress to set up a temporary development team to deal with some urgent needs.
For example, the tights that Levi got from Bestena have recently been thoroughly studied by a group of magic researchers, and I don't know if the heartbroken scene would be seen by Miss Frost Giant, Li Moulong would be desperate...
Today's Magic Research Institute is divided into military and civilian industry classifications alone, with more than 200 detailed items in five categories.
Perhaps it was far from being compared to the days of Netherel or the majestic modern industry of more than 6,000 branches of Bluestar, but Levi was already satisfied.
Because according to Iggy, it took them less than fifty years for Zelandia to walk the path of Netherel in recent centuries.
Before he could get his hands on the mysterious scroll, Netherel was just lucky enough to be trusted by the Elves of Yerlan and establish trade relations with them, thus exchanging a little magical knowledge.
Perhaps without this magical knowledge as a cornerstone of their pathfinder, they would not have discovered the two 'Nesser Scrolls'.
Even after obtaining the Nether Scroll, that kind of mysterious knowledge was still monopolized by the upper class arcanists, and most of the magic technology was rarely civilized, which once led to Netherel being in a state of class differentiation for a long time.
Perhaps the arcanists had already lifted entire cities into the air and piloted magical ships to explore other mysterious planes, but the lower classes may still be living in the backward Middle Ages.
With their barren intelligence, it is impossible to imagine what the great arcanists are chasing... What do you believe in?
This creates a huge division.
Iggy's teacher once told him that perhaps it was the 'arrogance' of the Grand Arcanists that caused the 'tragedy'.
If those 'thieves' had understood the value of the Nether Scrolls, they might have... I wouldn't do that stupid thing.
They don't know until they die what kind of priceless treasure they have hammered into pieces.
The successive loss of the Nether scrolls undoubtedly brought the originally rapidly developing Nether empire into stagnation and confusion, and the appearance of Ferin Demon Kui made this contradiction even worse.
The only way for the people at the bottom to get rid of the shackles of this class is to enter some private colleges run by the Grand Arcanists through many tests and screenings, just like Xia Duo did back then, and become a stepping stone to impress the Grand Arcanists through their own scientific research results, so as to become the other party's apprentice.
In this way, it can be regarded as officially stepping into the real mainstream society of Netherel and enjoying the dividends of that scholarly country.
But that probability is too slim.
In the nearly 5,000 years of Netheriel's history, there are only a few people who have truly stepped from the civilian class to the ranks of Grand Arcanists like Shado.
More, it can only be the N generation of students who were born in a wealthy family like Brad and received elite education since childhood.
Li Wei once heard an interesting remark, that is, the 'second generation' will be far more difficult to surpass than the 'rich second generation' in the future.
Because in a general sense, the 'rich second generation' may only enjoy the inheritance of wealth.
The 'second generation' can not only realize knowledge at any time, but the monopoly of educational resources may be difficult to achieve by ordinary wealth.
There is a high probability that the top student will find another student spouse, and the offspring who have inherited their wisdom will not be so easy to become stupid...
Even under the same test-oriented education system, others are born with an 'IQ hanging', and they can understand mathematics, physics and chemistry at a glance, and they will never forget it.
Such a 'competitor' is undoubtedly suffocating and desperate for ordinary people...
The Netherel Empire is undoubtedly a true portrayal of this kind of case.
It is precisely because of this kind of experience that even if this process of involution is inevitable in the future, at least at this stage, Levi still wants to make Zeelandia's road a little wider and give ordinary people more opportunities.
And that's why he spent so much of his resources to make compulsory education universally available throughout Zeelandia.
He didn't want to follow Netheril's old ways.
Just as Levi was thinking about his future plans, he happened to pass by a project department called Magic Military Motorcycle.
Different from other small departments, this project, which was named by Li Wei himself, has undoubtedly been favored by more resources of Zeelandia, so both the site and the scale are far more magnificent than other projects, and there is even a special smelting plant dedicated to this project department.
From afar, you can see the red-hot molten iron flowing out of the blast furnace, falling into the mold, dividing, and then you can see many gray dwarves using iron tongs to clamp out these red-hot parts, and beat them with hammers and bells.
Originally, Levi didn't care much about this scene, but he actually saw a lot of Cavins Rat Brother Gui on these steel casting parts assembly line.
In a way, they are a spin-off of more than forty years of extreme war rats.
Later, for some reason, Li Weichen temporarily stopped before going to bed.
But the group of Carvins rat brothers who volunteered to participate in the Dragon Knight's Transformation Project to become extreme war rats, Levi didn't have the heart to 'destroy' them all.
Although most of the work done by these Cavins rat brothers was mechanized, it still caught Levi's attention.
Because this means that these Cavins rats can at least initially communicate with the gray dwarves, and can understand the technical requirements of the gray dwarf technicians...
For some reason, this discovery actually sent a chill down Levi's spine...
It's too fast...
You must know how many generations it took for early ape-man to evolve from walking upright to learning to make and use tools.
These Cavins rats have been modified by them and taught them how to adapt to the society of intelligent creatures for their use.
But when he saw them actually holding tools in their hands, knowing how to think like apprentices, and taking the initiative to give feedback to the dwarven teachers and innovate their own work experience, the scene was still a little shocking to him.
With such curiosity, Levi slowly approached the leader of the Cavins Rat workshop who had just finished communicating with the dwarven technical engineer and was about to return to the production line, but suddenly found that the Cavins Rat in front of him was somewhat familiar...
So when the other party turned back, Levi raised his paw and tentatively called out a forty-six-year name:
"Boom!"
This was the name of a food delivery rat he had encountered when he woke up forty-six years ago.
The Cavins rat who heard the 'chirp fly' was obviously stunned, as if he didn't remember when he knew a Kou Tao fishman, but the aura on the other party's body made him have mixed feelings.
It was clear that he instinctively felt natural awe, but he couldn't help but want to get closer.
So he raised his paw and pointed to his chest, and asked with some difficulty, "You, know chirp?"
Levi suddenly remembered that the last time he met the other party, he was still in the form of a ratman, but now he is in the form of a fishman, so he had to haha:
"Goo-ga... yes!yes!”
"Aha, then you recognize the wrong mouse, chirp fly It's, my great, great, great, great grandfather, he, are, die!die for years... My, Name, Beta, Beta, Beta!"
There was no sadness on the face of the brother noble rat man, but he rubbed his beard with honor.
It dawned on Levi that Calvin seemed to have told him that the average lifespan of a Cavins rat was only three to five years. In some harsh food-poor environments, most of the Cavins rats do not even live for two years.
Their whole life is constantly looking for food, looking for everything to eat, making sure they live, and then mating to reproduce as many offspring as possible.
This was originally the only reason for their survival:
Continue, even if you are ignorant, you must live by any means.
Until... Their arrival.
Breaking the original peace of the nezumik...
Seeing that Levi was silent, the rat-man brother thought that he was remembering his great-great-great-great-grandfather, so he smiled and comforted Levi with that tongue-twisting 'Karp dialect'.
Says his grandfather was once the longest-lived Skaven in their family.
It was the appearance of Chirp Fei that led their family out of their original ignorance and darkness, and found meaning other than sacrificing flesh and blood for the 'Lord'.
With that, the nezumi solemnly clasped his paws together and prayed to an unknown being:
"Chirp!" (Thank you to His Majesty Calvin for giving me peace!)"
(Thank you Calvin for washing away my sins!)"
"Chirp!" (Thank you Calvin for giving me a new lease of life!)"
Levi looked at the devout belief of this rat man named Beta who was about to burst into light, and suddenly couldn't help but say in his heart:
'Stop chattering... Tweet again, your Calvin's Immortal is going to trim the horns again. ’
Levi suddenly asked curiously, "Googa, Beta, do you... Dreams?"
"Dreams?"
Beta scratched the sparse sideburns on his skull, and said that he wanted to see the dwarven technician's so-called magic power technology one day realized, and he could ride on a large motorcycle assembled from his own assembly line to produce metal parts.
Since the death of its great-great-great-great-grandfather, who had the honor of being recruited to work in this labyrinthine metal factory, six generations of their grandparents have worked on this molded assembly line.
I watched the hand-cast assemblies assembled into large metal structures, but they failed to meet the technical requirements of the dwarven technical engineers and were abandoned.
So his only dream is to see that day before his life ends.
If he can't see it, hopefully his descendants will be able to do it.
As he spoke, he pointed to the other, younger, shy, shy Skaven on the line.
That's his son.
Maybe one day, they, the Skaven, will be able to open the steel golems that are as high as hundreds of nezumi in the mouth of the dwarven technicians.
Conquer the chaotic world for Calvin the Great Horned Rat.
Sweep away his enemies for the 'Demon Dragon'.
This small but great ambition made Levi silent for a while.
The Cavins are undoubtedly a creature with great potential, a race awakened by his and Calvin's shared obscureness.
But just like the Creator Paradox, will these Skaven rats, who are 'simple' and 'simple' at the moment, always maintain their 'true heart' at the moment?
Upon discovering that Zeellandia is already secretly controlling their proliferation rate, will it be possible to 'awaken' some dangerous thoughts to see these intelligent creatures they have spent their lives devouring their kind?
Levi didn't know.
He was going to go back and ask the 'father of the Skaven' what their 'Lord' thought.
Just as Levi was about to say goodbye to Beta, he found that the Cavins rat man who had been chattering about his 'dream' suddenly became a little lost.
Levi's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but ask the reason.
I saw that Beta suddenly held her head in some confusion and pain, and her voice became organized for the first time:
"Chirp... Calvin... His Majesty, we, the Great Horned Rat, still, did not respond to us.
"Could it be that we're doing something wrong..."
This sentence made Levi's expression become a little solemn again, and then asked when this happened to Beta.
That's not right!
Could it be that Calvin had actually answered the prayers of these nezumen before?
This is an extremely dangerous thing to do.
Acting as non-gods, but doing godly things, is still responding to this group of deranged Cavins ratmen...
