Extraordinary Puppet Master

‘Skaven Mordor? Could it be related to the Skaven? ’

After checking the Sage's information, Karin immediately remembered that he had seen a thin booklet in the library - "Detailed Explanation of the Skaven".

It’s just that I only saw the title of the book on the bookshelf, but didn’t take it down to read it.

He immediately took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

‘It’s around six o’clock now, enough time. ’

After closing his pocket watch with a snap, Karin stood up and left the dormitory, walking quickly towards the library.

Although the library has been closed, his authority allows him to enter directly after closing.

After a while, Carlin walked to an inconspicuous small door on the side of the library, took out his ID card and stuck it on the door.

With a squeak, the door opened automatically. A spell to open the door was burned into it. Just take the Ranger Club's ID card and stick it on it to open the door automatically. It was very convenient.

Carlin walked into the library and came out soon with "Skaven Explanation" and returned to the apartment.

Opening the book, Kalin began to read the contents quickly, and soon he had a general understanding of the Skaven, a race that flourished in the middle and late fourth era.

In addition to the main race of humans, there are many other races in the world, including ratmen, goblins, vampires, dwarves, and other races that Carlin could not imagine.

But now the human race is undoubtedly the strongest, so it only occupies the largest resources and territory.

Since the sixth era, with the decline of transcendence, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to see any alien races in the old continent.

In the New World, you might even see some non-human or humanoid races walking on the streets of human cities in broad daylight.

In the Fourth Era, although humans still maintain the position of being the strongest and the hegemon, there are still several races that are slightly weaker but not far behind and are also coveting the title of strongest.

In that era, weak races or forces rose up every once in a while, and powerful races and forces fell.

Among them, the Skaven are a powerful race in the Fourth Age.

Ratmen are born with a weak body, and their innate physical fitness is at a disadvantage compared to some other races.

But this does not mean that their strength is weak. Although the Skaven have a simple body but a developed brain, they can also become stronger through acquired practice.

With the emergence of several new Sichen and alchemy professions, the Skaven did not know what was going on internally, and a vigorous change took place in the entire clan.

The three major clans, Clan Model, Clan Skryre, and Clan Eshin, successfully came to power and jointly ruled the Skaven.

Except for the Plague clan, which lives in the deep jungles of the New World, all other Skaven clans fall under the rule of the three major clans.

"The Skaven Detailed Explanation" also explains this part of the content very briefly, with only a few paragraphs.

But Carlin is not surprised. Very little of the history from that time has been handed down to this day. It is already very good that people in the Sixth Age can archaeologically discover so much content.

However, Carlin may be able to restore some of the truth. When the Sage became the God-King in the early Fourth Era, there was an additional [Sage] path in the world, and some changes may have occurred within the Skaven as a result.

The Skaven have always been vigorously developing steam technology, and they are extremely powerful in terms of both supernatural power and technological power.

They built a magnificent giant capital city in the middle of the Fourth Age - Skaven Mordor. This city gathered the wisdom essence of the entire race.

After it was built, it immediately became famous all over the world. Even before its fall, it was nicknamed "The Magic City That Will Never Fall" by others.

Kalin read the introduction to the Skaven in the book with great interest.

But after some introductions at the beginning, there were only a dozen pages, and he flipped through it in just a few seconds.

Even how the Skaven fell, and descriptions of the social system and extraordinary system of the Skaven in the Fourth Age are extremely rare.

It is only recorded that after the fall of the Skaven Demon City, most of the Skaven migrated to the New World to survive. Due to the deterrent power of the Plague Clan, these small Skaven clans were not completely exterminated by other races.

By the sixth era, the Skaven were scattered and no strong man emerged to reunite the entire race. Many clans were also lost due to inheritance, and the extraordinary system had no way out after reaching the mentor level.

Carlin shook his head helplessly, the recorded information was too little.

Archeology is not only a technical job, but also a high-risk profession. Too much historical information will be spiritually contaminated.

This resulted in the entire history of more than 2,000 years ago not being systematic. There was fragmented information everywhere.

There are also many conflicting records in ancient documents and ancient books, causing a small quarrel in the academic world for three days and a big quarrel for five days. It is really impossible to archaeologically unearth the historical truth without some hard skills.

‘The complete history has to be explored by myself. ’

Karin looked at the [Witch King] and then at the [Sage]. The [Witch King] has not yet reset time, and the [Sage] can enter at any time.

‘Are the reset times of the two copies calculated separately? ’

While thinking this way, Karin began to prepare before entering. After ensuring that the alchemy table, bookcase and other items could be brought in, he chose to enter [Sage].

After a period of distortion and change in front of his eyes, Karin came to a new room.

When he regained his vision, his eyes widened, and a pungent smell of blood rushed toward him.

Not far ahead, a disemboweled, headless corpse was lying in a pool of blood that had long solidified.

Next to it, there was a slightly raised mouse head, and its eyes that had lost their highlights looked directly at Karin, as if they were looking at him.

Karin began to look at everything in front of him.

Since traveling to this world, he has seen many corpses, but this is the first time he has seen the corpse of an inhuman race.

This is an empty hall, but the ceiling has been lifted and the walls on all sides are in ruins.

Based on the surrounding information, Carlin immediately deduced that the place he was in was the lobby of a duplex apartment.

It's just that this apartment was ravaged by heavy artillery fire, and it's now in ruins.

The collapsed remains of the stairs in the hall made the place seem less empty. Fortunately, the four walls were preserved, which could at least block the view of the outside world.

In addition to Karin and the items he brought in, there was also the corpse he saw when he arrived.

This is not a human corpse, it looks like a rat that has been enlarged many times.

He was only about 1.4 meters tall. The blood-stained clothes and shoes on his feet showed that he was an intelligent creature with his own civilization, not a beast.

His hands, which only had four fingers, were still tightly holding a steam rifle that looked smaller.

at this time.

boom--

Da da da da da da da da—

Carlin's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of gunshots outside.

‘Repeating firearms! machine gun? Or an automatic rifle? ’

Shaking his head, he ignored the sound of gunfire and walked to the body of the headless rat man.

Carlin has absolute confidence in the initial safe zone. No matter how chaotic the outside is, he can't be hit here.

He took the steam-powered rifle from the rat man's hand and began to examine it. During this period, he also removed the magazine and observed each bullet.

After checking it for a while, Carlin felt very bad.

'The caliber exceeds 7 mm, the magazine capacity is 15 rounds, and it is equipped with a sniper scope. The visual range is at least 400 meters. The bullets are engraved with runes.

Uh. The hot weapons in this dungeon should only be firearms, right? ’
