Chapter 121: The Skaven Conspiracy
"Red Finger" did not escape from the New World by ship. Aiden knew that they had no chance to retreat because someone was watching them.
As far as Aiden knows, all the mercenary legions that left recently disappeared in the waves... Aiden thinks it's the legendary moving island that's causing trouble.
That wizard should be from the Invisible Island. Aiden has come into contact with several similar beings.
Everyone who knows of the existence of the island longs for that secret place that can fulfill the wishes of mortals.
Aiden was no exception, but after careful intelligence collection, he came to a conclusion that was terrifying to think about.
The person who makes the wish must pay a price, and it must be his own life.
Anyone who has anything to do with the Invisible Island will eventually have a bad ending.
…
The wizard took out a crystal mirror and talked to a Norse slave trader under the light of the mirror.
The item that the Mirror Spirit had the merchant steal was already in his hands, and the plan was going smoothly.
Before they could even start talking for a few words, the slave trader was suddenly choked to death by the air.
This ridiculous way of death made the wizard shudder. He knew that the unfortunate guy's fate had come true.
…
At night, Traits Weiwei looked at the two engineers who were thought to be dead with horror.
They wore iron goggles with tiny indentations and their jaws were surrounded by metal, like two giant flies.
The portable iron pump carried by the warlock continuously injected unknown liquid into their chests through the catheter.
Lis and Lik, from Clan Skryre, one of the four great clans... That was nothing to Tsanquiro, because it was a member of the overlord clan, Clan Greyseer, but Dreadtail was just an ordinary warlord.
They are the dimensional twins second only to Chief Warlock Engineer Ikit Talon.
Cui Tesi tried hard to conceal its presence. After all, it was just a lucky clan rat.
Weiwei became increasingly pessimistic about his trip to Lustria and completely gave up the idea of being proactive.
The fact that so many big names have met with disaster in the rainforest is enough to show how dangerous the jungle is. Only those crazy plague monks like it here.
The Grey Seer Chuanquilo deliberately stroked the amulet given to it by the Lord of Decay.
It knew that without this talisman, even the warlord huddled beside it would dare to confront it.
Chuan Kui Luo waited for the other party to greet him, but these two stupid fleas ignored the god-like majesty of the great Doomsday and hurriedly spoke nonsense to the wise Gray Prophet.
"I found this on the hairless thing! This!"
Liss took the credit away from Lick, and Lick suddenly raised his voice and repeated his brother's words.
It tried to take back the credit for its discovery, even though they had discovered the statue together.
The Dimensional Twins killed a human with colorless poison gas and found a small golden statue in the human's bag.
The dimensional twins vied with each other to claim credit, and in the end no one could hear clearly what they were saying.
As the fight raged, a tiny statue rolled onto the moss.
All the ratmen stared at the large piece of gold and swallowed their saliva together.
Before the looting could happen, the Gray Prophet slammed the ground with his staff and walked to the golden idol, facing the jealous gazes of the crowd.
At this moment, Chuan Kui Luo suddenly felt that there seemed to be another presence behind him.
All its hair stood up, and before it could cast a spell to kill the flea, the flea appeared by itself.
An Eshin sorcerer covered in black cloth flattered the envoy of the Thirteen Councils with exaggerated flattery while shirking his own responsibilities.
"Welcome! Tranquilo, the most terrible Grey Prophet of Doom. My master, the unpredictable Lord of Night, is watching! Watching you.
Your arrival will save! Save the plan that was messed up by the Dimension Twins!"
The Eshin alchemist bared his throat to the Grey Seer in a traditional gesture, as a sign of respect and obedience, but there was an ambiguous warning in his words.
The Night Lord's gaze doesn't just mean approval; it could be the selection of the next person to be assassinated.
The dimensional twins exuded a smell of grievance and fear, and retorted in unison at a louder volume.
Representatives of the two forces began to argue, and in the end, they tacitly pushed the responsibility for the destruction of engineering equipment onto the Plague Clan.
Just when they smugly thought that the outcome was finalized, a resentful curse tore through the newly-enshrined peace.
"Plague Lord Sikuk, remember! Remember you!"
A plague priest hurried over with a group of plague monks that the ratmen feared, and offered obedience and awe to the Grey Prophet.
Chuan Kui Luo calmly accepted the salute from the Plague Priests. These ratmen, who used to hold high positions, flattered him without limit, causing the tip of the Gray Prophet's tail to tremble with excitement.
Chuanquilo coughed twice in an attempt to assert his authority.
It could feel that all the ratmen were secretly looking at the black amulet around its neck with jealousy and fear.
"Representatives of the great clans of the Underground Empire, I am here to discuss with you as a representative selected by the parliament..."
The quarrel that broke out again among the three parties drowned out the voice of the Gray Prophet.
"We know! We know why. The Lord of Decay sent you to spy on us!"
The Dimension Twins were eager to shift the blame to other clans, but before they could open their mouths, the new High Priest of Plague suddenly attacked.
"Because of you! Your foolish and fragile dimensional engineering! And your blasphemy! Blasphemy against the Horned Rat!"
"Embrace the Horned Rat for who he really is! Repent to him and abandon! Abandon your abominable technology."
Even among the great clans, Clan Plague stands out in terms of faith and strength. If it weren't for the assassination threat from Clan Eshin, they would have unified the underground empire long ago.
"Shut up! Shut your filthy mouth!"
"You lice-licking scabby rat! If you hadn't blasphemed the Horned Rat Orthodoxy, how could we be targeted by the Thirteen Councils?"
Chuan Kui Luo blinked and looked around at the warlords and sorcerers present. The fleeting sneer from Trites Weiwei made it furious.
It kicked the hapless warlord away, admiring the other party's courage to be angry but not to speak out. At the same time, Chuan Kui Luo tried to increase the volume to make his words more authoritative.
"Everyone from the great clan, I come as..."
A louder scolding overwhelmed Tsanquiro's voice.
"The faith of plague is the path of the Horned Rat! The path! If we want to blame someone, blame Eshin's tail for not being able to! Not being able to clean up the traces on the ground! That's why the device was exposed! Exposed!"
"Great! You're right just because you have a loud voice? It's all your fault for attracting lizards! Lizards!" The Eshin Alchemist was inexplicably singled out by the Plague Priest, and he roared back at it without any hesitation.
"Isn't it you! You brought these! These maggot-eating beasts?" Engineer Warlock Liss did not hesitate to add insult to injury.
Rick took advantage of their two mouths and slandered their former accomplices like Ratlin.
"It's you, the ugly gutter fish that sells death! You colluded with the rotten rats of the Plague Clan, and let them send the useless! The useless and conspicuous sick warlock!"
"This was a good idea before. They can die instead of my claws. Die!" The Eshin wizard shrugged frankly.
The scene was silent for a moment, and the ratmen who were qualified to participate in the topic turned their eyes to the Eshin Alchemist, unable to believe that he could be so shameless and undisguised.
"I am the Lord of Decay..."
The more intense dispute overwhelmed Chuan Kui Luo's tentative words, and the Aisin alchemist who was being targeted became angry and said:
"You better watch your shadows! Shadows! The Death Master is on his next mission!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Skaven suddenly stopped and looked around nervously.
Feartail had retreated into its fortress of stormvermin, but that didn't make it feel safe.
