Chapter 3: Tuka's Lucky Day
Tuka felt the damp wind of the sewers passing through his sides, and his shiny black hair blew like wheat in a rice field.
It looked at the black and oppressive giant rat group in front of it, and the clansmen on the giant rat, and there was an indescribable sense of pride in its heart.
He is a rat man who has just turned four years old, and in the age of a rat man, he has reached middle age.
But as a giant rat knight, he is now at his peak, and now it can charge with one charge, if accurate, it is not difficult to take out an adult kobold, you know, kobolds used to be a nightmarish existence of nezumirs.
Faced with this creature, the once weak nezumi had no choice but to burrow into the narrow crevice.
Now, there is capital to counteract.
Looking back on it now, his life is full of legends, as stated in its most cherished human book, "Knight Levi."
It was born four years ago, and it came to consciousness a year later, and Tuka had followed instinct before, not as an intelligent being.
This is already considered a late wisdom among the nezumi, after all, the mutant nezumi who is known as a genius can enlighten in a month.
Sometimes when he heard the elder rats in the clan who had lived for more than ten years talk about the past, Tuka felt his heart pound.
The previous situation in the clan was terrible, just a bunch of old and young, sick and disabled people living in the sewers, not as well as the rats in the sewers.
Until the appearance of the sacrifice three years ago, they saved their sewer rat people, and not only did they no longer have to run around every day for food.
The nezumi who have been born in the clan for one year must also be given special vocational training to increase the combat power of the nezumi.
And Tuka also happened to take a ride and became one of the beneficiaries, which is also the elder rat teacher said that their generation is the luckiest.
However, unlike his compatriots, Tuka did not choose the Ranger or Rogue that the Nezumi were naturally best at.
Although the nezumi are born with stealth and acuity bonuses, and this is a sewer, it can be said that these two classes are the most suitable.
But he still chose the giant rat knight, and when he heard the profession of the giant rat knight in the priest's mouth, he did not hesitate to listen to the dissuasion of his family, and resolutely chose the knight.
It was a dream in his heart, a dream of a dragon slayer, and of course, it was also influenced by that book "Knight Levi".
It's not that the two professions of ranger and thief can't slay dragons, but riding a mount to fight against the dragon is the behavior of a real male rat.
Instead of sneaking cold arrows in the back, quenching poison, sneak attack, and cutting throats.
Although only five of the less than a hundred newborn nezumi in that batch were willing to choose to become knights, the rest were naturally either nezumi rangers or nezumi thieves.
But that didn't dampen Tuca's indomitable spirit, and he insisted on following the knight's path.
Although the knight's road is lonely and rugged, glory can accompany it and be fearless of hardships and dangers.
This sentence is also written in the human book "Knight Levi", in which the protagonist Levi is a human knight.
But Tuka is also a knight, and he still has a sense of substitution.
Levi fought all the way, and countless monsters died at his hands, even the evil dragon that plundered the princess could not escape death.
The story in it is already familiar to me.
But every time he looked at it, Tuka shuddered, his hair stood on end, and a feeling that was difficult to put into words ran through his skull.
Especially on the eve of killing the evil dragon, at that moment, the protagonist Levi stood on the head of the dying evil dragon with a riding spear in his hand, and muttered, "Let me, the reptile in your eyes, end your sinful life!"
The three-meter-long spear is half in the bone, and the evil dragon has fallen!
At that moment, Tuka felt like his whole rat was about to float, which was why he wanted to be indomitable in order to be a knight.
At that time, both his father and mother, as well as his dozen or so siblings, saw it as a joke.
The nezumi, who was born with a defective strength, actually wanted to be a knight.
But then, they shut up, because Tuka had really become a rat knight.
He is also the first giant rat rider in the sewers of Karando, and Tuca's hardships can be seen here.
The cultivation of giant rats in the clan was only put on the agenda after the third month of professional training, and it had been half a year since the giant rat cultivation appeared.
For the first three months, Tuka had no mount training, and it is important to know that the training of a knight is indispensable to mounting.
But despite this, Tuka still mastered the giant rat riding technique in nine months, less than a year, which shows that Tuka's talent is not bad, at least his talent in knighthood is not bad.
But that's what it got from eating and sleeping with the rat for nine months.
First-Order Knights, as the name suggests, require proficiency in horsemanship, as well as proficiency in spear weapons.
The training of the spear, Tuka can also endure hardships.
At that time, the method of sacrificing and training Tuka was to let Tuka take a dead branch that was taller than their own height, use it as a spear, and stab them five hundred times a day.
And the tuka is 1,000 hits, or even more than 1,500 hits.
Moreover, in addition to its usual training, it used a rope to tie its hands to the spear at other times in order to be able to carry the spear all the time and feel the distance control.
I didn't sleep apart.
Many of the same contemporaries quit because of the boring spear training, which they found boring.
Of the last five, only Tuka persevered.
In the end, he was the only one, the only one in the first batch of nezumi to become a knight.
If you only look at the rate, one in five is quite a high probability.
Professionals also have a pass rate, although there are many people who sign up for training in the two ratman professions, Thief and Ranger, most of them are screened out in the first round, and even fewer can go to the profession after that.
Sometimes even a 20-to-1 ratio can't be achieved.
When the knight profession became popular among the ratmen, it was after the giant rat was thoroughly cultivated.
At that time, Tuka rode a giant rat and had to patrol the sewers of the rat people almost every day, not only daring to fight the swamp frogs.
Even Tuka not only defeated the kobold under one-on-one conditions, but also brought the kobold's corpse back to the nezumi gathering place, allowing all the nezumi to eat its flesh.
The profession of Rat Knight has jumped to the top of the profession that the rat people most want to become.
After all, you must know that Tuka, who killed the kobold at that time, was the dream lover of countless female rat men, so that in the current generation of rat men, there are still many rat men with Tuka's blood.
It can be seen that its charm, but when this group of eleven giant rat knights graduates, it will definitely be much better.
This time, Tuka came to this newly opened sewer area with the order of the sacrifice to find a suitable base.
After all, the cunning rabbits have three holes, and the wisdom of the rat people is not low, they consider reproducing in batches, and they can't put their eggs in one basket.
But just as Tuka thought everything was normal, suddenly, a giant rat in front of him suddenly jumped up to a sewer mouth above their heads.
The nezumi Tuka on the giant rat knew that Vicky was the most suitable scout of the rat knights, because it had a very smart nose and could smell what the nezumi couldn't.
I can even smell the breath of a human being, could it be that I am smelling something this time?
"What's the situation?"
Tuka said to Vicky.
"Mistress Tuka!alive!human cubs!females!"
Vicky said happily as if he had discovered a great treasure.
The dozens of giant rat knights below also squeaked in cheer.
But it's true that the nezumi who have eaten the taste of human cubs a few times will never forget the taste.
Fragrant than cheese and sweeter than cake.
Tuka was also very happy in his heart, and what the Secret Priest Lord said was indeed right.
To open up, there are surprises.
Today is really its lucky day, so it might as well change its name to Tukasa.
Casa, in the language of the rat people, has the meaning of luck.
"Vicky!
Tuka, no, it should be Tukasa now.
happily said to the vicky who had entered the sewer pipe and his tail had disappeared.
