Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

Under the temptation of cheese, the female rat finally told Windlow all the information he needed.

For the rat people, as long as the benefits are great enough, they can do anything unimaginable.

Unfortunately, some in-depth intelligence is too important to this female ratman, such as the location of her clan, which she can protect with her life.

There isn't much information known at the moment, but it's a lot too.

The female ratman was unwilling to reveal her name, but revealed that her clan was called the Snake Clan, a clan that was independent from the Assassin Clan Eshin.

Independence was gained at a great cost, and Clan Eshin was willing to keep Clan Snek's secrets.

They would search for food in the outskirts of human cities and raid other ratmen clans, killing female ratmen that had been contaminated by the warpstone and turned into breeding machines, and saving healthy female ratmen to join the clan.

Although this clan is not large in scale, it is a big trouble for the small ratmen clans.

After all, for the ratmen, there are only two kinds of wealth. The first one is of course the dimensional stone, and the second one is naturally the female ratmen.

Thanks to the good relationship with Clan Eshin, a clan specializing in assassination, Clan Snek was not exposed to the eyes of other ratmen.

"Clan Eshin?"

Windlow tilted his head to look at Mousse. The dark elf dread lord crossed his arms and certainly knew something about the ratmen clans.

"This is a clan of ratmen who are experts in assassination. An interesting thing is that they are very loyal to their lords, and the dark elves also have many contracts with them."

Just as Mousse said, Clan Eshin is an exception among all the ratmen. They will abide by the contract and will not betray it. They even have connections with the Cathay Dynasty.

Clan Eshin allows the existence of Clan Snek and is willing to hide the existence of Clan Snek from the other ratmen clans.

But all this comes at a price.

Every once in a while, Clan Eshin will send their best assassin rats to Clan Snake to mate with the female ratmen in Clan Snake who are proficient in assassination.

In the eyes of Clan Esin, ordinary breeding female ratmen are unable to mass-produce high-quality ratmen offspring. If they want to have stronger offspring, they must have two strong parents combined.

A pregnant female Snek clan assassin rat is protected by both clans until she gives birth.

According to the contract, the male cubs must be taken away by Clan Eshin without compensation, while the female cubs belong to Clan Snek.

This is one of the reasons why the Snek clan has been able to survive until now.

And like all the other clans' ratmen, the female ratmen of the Snake clan are evil and full of hatred.

However, their hatred is only directed at male ratmen from other ratman clans, and they have almost no hostility towards humans and elves.

They even have quite a bit of goodwill towards humans, and they rely entirely on human food, otherwise the Snek clan would have been wiped out by other ratmen clans long ago.

Slowly chewing the cheese in his hand, the female ratman in front of him had already said enough, let her feel the taste of the cheese.

And the rat woman was indeed selfish and protective of her food. She didn't allow anyone to get close to the food in her hands, and she held the cheese tightly with her claws. Even Mousse rolled her eyes.

She might not be able to get the cheese back.

Everything has been fully understood, and now we need to plan the next business path. The business journey in Miragliano City has ended.

"Leslie, go inform Unicorn that we are going to continue our business trip."

"Izexi, use Heaven's Magic to predict our future fortunes and tell us where we are more likely to make money."

"Moose, pack up, we have to leave and continue our business journey."

"Trading business, what does that mean, what does that mean?"

In almost the blink of an eye, the female rat man ate all the cheese in her hand and looked at Windlow with her bloodshot eyes.

"Trading means doing business everywhere and making money."

"Can I join your business trip? I'll serve, for food, yes yes."

Windlo looked around, but the elves around him all had indifferent expressions. In the eyes of the elves, the ratmen really did not pose any threat at all.

"I know alchemy, engineering, and chemistry. If I join your team, it will be beneficial to you. You will make a lot of profit."

Just as the female rat woman described, she indeed possessed powerful alchemical abilities, and the antidote she made was able to contain the plague within a day.

As for engineering and chemistry, these are exactly the skills that Windlow needs. You can't expect the elves to handle chemical and physical problems.

"Okay, I allow you to join my caravan, but you must tell me your real purpose honestly and not tell me a lie."

The female rat man paused for a long time, stretched out her two paws and slowly washed her face, and finally opened her blood-red eyes and told the truth.

She needs a platform, yes, a platform.

She barely has a stable base due to the hostility from the other ratmen clans.

There are no stable experimental props and instruments, let alone stable sources of income and food.

If she could join the caravan, she would enjoy protection and stability, which would be very helpful for her research.

At the same time, you only need to provide a little research product to exchange for a lot of food and safety guarantees. It is very cost-effective, yes.

It is indeed risky to form a caravan with humans and elves, but the risk is worth it, very much worth it, in the face of the reward.

Due to his connection with Clan Eshin, Mousse also trusts the female ratmen of Clan Snek.

Only Leslie objected. After all, she was a little unhappy that the prey in the past was on an equal footing with the hunter.

In Izeshi's final vote, the female ratman also obtained permission to join the caravan.

Because Izeki has already prepared a huge chess game.

The first thing is to establish contact with the ratmen and learn more about the dimensional stone. Secondly, there is only one step left to complete my plan, and I need some external power to balance it.

"Wendello, my heavenly magic has predicted that our future is on the sea. It is more profitable to trade with ships than with carriages, just like our Asur sea caravan."

Yes, Izexi's words directly woke up Windlow. He realized that he had accumulated a lot of wealth now and should indeed expand the scale of his business.

It is not a big deal to turn one carriage into two carriages, but if you change from land business to sea business, not only can the profit be doubled, but the travel cost will also be reduced.

He immediately opened his wallet and took out all his savings, a total of 500 gold coins.

At the port of Miragliano, this money was just enough to buy a shipload of goods.

and a small merchant ship used for maritime trade.
