Extraordinary Puppet Master

Faced with the various difficulties in building the [Throne Difference Engine], Kalin did not show any expression of frustration, but opened the panel of the virtual kingdom of God with great ambition.

‘Now that my strength has undergone a qualitative change, it’s time to explore [Sage]. ’

After regaining his vision, Karin came to the familiar ruins hall again.

Ignoring the rat corpse in the hall and the gunshots outside, the witch began to recite the incantation.

"Shadow Illusion——"

With the surge of spirituality, there is a shadow illusion around Snicki that can be confused with reality.

Carlin did not go out immediately. After waiting quietly for half a minute, the gunfire outside finally subsided.

At this moment, the illusion swooped out of the hall. At this time, Death Master Snitch had just wiped out the group of rat soldiers and returned to the street.

He saw a black shadow passing by him like a whirlwind, rushing towards the other end of the street.

The newly relaxed Death Master and the red-clothed rat-man soldiers immediately entered combat mode.

Master Death also instantly went into hiding and chased after the black shadow, while the soldiers in red raised their rifles and fired continuously.

For a moment, the streets that had just calmed down were filled with gunfire again, and bullets emitting a miserable green light were fired towards the illusion.

Carlin, who was in the safe zone hall, waited until the illusion led the Master of Death out of the street, and then controlled Snitch, who was in hiding, to go out and move towards the opposite end of the street.

The sky in Skaven Mordor is covered with dark clouds, and the smoke of death is frantically venting their violence.

Snitch quickly walked through the ruins. The city was full of collapsed buildings and steam pipes, and of course there were also the broken limbs of the Skaven.

Although Carlin didn't know what happened in Skaven Castle, he at least knew that the time of [Sage] was shortly before the fall of Skaven Castle.

This should be a civil war among the Skaven, and this civil war directly caused the Skaven to be severely weakened.

The history of the fall of Skaven City is completely blank, and everyone is speculating on what happened to cause the fall of this steam city that is said to never fall.

But now Carlin understands somewhat. Mr. Lu Xun once said: A strong fortress is often the first to disintegrate from within.

The civil war between the Skaven clans swept the entire city, resulting in a great loss of strength and empty defenses. Then other races seized the opportunity to break through the Skaven city.

‘I just don’t know what the cause of this war is. Forget it, don’t think about it now, it’s more important to explore the path. ’

While Carlin controlled Snitch to explore the way outside, he also controlled Eric to start divination.

As Eric's spirituality surged, the pen of the story flickered slightly and flew out of his hand and began to write on the incomplete wall.

‘Although the enemy’s level is only the apprentice level, there is no so-called level division for steam machinery, thermal weapons, war beasts and extraordinary items.

The smoke-filled ruins are surrounded by dangers, including the trappers of the Model clan, the engineer warlocks of the Skry clan, the organized army, as well as the steam airships and steel behemoths hovering in the sky.

Every danger is enough to bring death to Carlin, maybe he can try to find a way into the underground city? ’

After reading what was written in the story pen, Carlin only felt a toothache.

Originally, he thought that after Snicki was promoted to the professional level, even if he couldn't crush and kill all the way, he could still come and go freely here.

But Eric's divination poured cold water on him.

In the Fourth Age, the Skaven were ruled by three clans: the Eshin clan, which was proficient in assassination and shadow magic, the Skryre clan, which was proficient in steam technology, and the Model clan, which was proficient in blood transformation.

The leaders of these three clans are Snitch, the Master of Death, Ict Claw, the Engineer, and Slott the Unholy, all three of whom are demigods.

In addition, the legendary level and mentor level in the lower two floors may not be crowded together, but the number is definitely more than Karin imagined.

Now that the level of these rat men has been suppressed to the trainee level, they themselves are the limit of the human body.

Although he can rely on his level to crush and beat up his little killer friends in black, the trapper's rat beast and the engineering warlock's life weapon will not be downgraded.

If Kalin thought that he could spend as much money as he wanted because Snitch was at the highest level, he would be totally wrong. The organized rat-man army alone would be enough for him to drink.

After realizing this, Carlin set a tone. Among the [Sages], you must be obedient. If you can avoid showing up, it is best not to show up. If you can sneak attack, you should never be aggressive.

Then he once again controlled Eric to consume his spiritual energy for divination.

As spirituality passed quickly, the pen of stories suspended in mid-air continued to be written on the wall.

But this time I am not writing a story, but drawing a map.

Eric's spiritual energy was consumed very quickly this time. It took half a minute for the story pen to stop drawing and fly back to his hand after most of his spiritual energy was consumed.

Karin quickly memorized this picture in his mind, and after a while the map disappeared. Only then did he have time to look slowly in the memory library.

This map is a three-dimensional urban zoning map of a 500-meter radius around the safety zone, distinguishing the above-ground and underground parts.

Not only are the names of all streets and buildings marked, but in many places the emblems of the three major clans are also marked, showing patrol teams.

Karin took a deep breath while looking at the dense army markings, and then began to look for a passage to the underground.

Although there are also many dangers in underground urban areas, compared to the bombing by flying fortress aircraft overhead, it is safer underground. At least you don't have to worry about being faced with artillery fire at any time.

Soon he found an underground entrance that was not patrolled by ratmen nearby.

Snicki immediately changed his direction of travel and rushed into a half-broken dome building on the street.

Although the lobby on the first floor of this building is in a mess, with all kinds of debris scattered on the ground, the overall building structure is well preserved.

Snicki didn't see any corpses or blood. It should be due to the hasty evacuation of the large group of ratmen here when the war started.

After scanning the area, Snicki found no information recording carriers such as books on the ground, so he stopped paying attention to the things on the ground and started looking for the entrance to the underground.

Although there are many metal coins, jewelry, and works of art on the ground, Carlin cannot take any of them out. The most valuable thing to him in the fantasy world are books or other information recording carriers.

Soon, Snicki found a mechanical elevator. After seeing the two rows of buttons embedded in the metal door frame, he directly pressed the up button.

Clang-clang-clang-clang-

Carlin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the sound of gear bites and metal collisions driving the transmission of metal rods and brass hinges from far to near.

Fortunately, the elevator is still functioning, otherwise Snitch would have slid all the way down the elevator shaft.

Soon the platform rose up, and the iron gates automatically opened to both sides. Snicki walked into the lifting platform and began to slowly descend.

The elevator appears to be intact. The surface of the cage has been coated with anti-rust coating and there is no trace of rust. The war has not yet burned this place to the ground.

After descending nearly fifty meters, the elevator stopped. When the iron gate opened again, a spectacular sight came directly into Carlin's mind.

What appeared before him was an orderly underground neighborhood.

Rows of streets and steam pipes crisscross each other, as neatly as a chessboard.

One after another, thick metal pillars are connected to the roof and bottom to support the underground space. Tunnels and iron gates on the edge stone walls connect to other places underground.

Not only is the Skaven City extremely prosperous on the ground level, but the urban area underground is also equally prosperous.

It's a pity that all of this is a simulated scene restored in Carlin's mind.

Now this place is also affected by the flames of war, with the sounds of gunfire and explosions happening one after another, and even Snicki feels that the ground is shaking slightly.

Boom——Boom——Boom——

‘It seems to be very lively here’
