Vol 4 Chapter 146: The world of the rat race

.., Demon Hunting College
As a saying goes well, height determines your field of vision, and your level determines the scenery in your field of vision.
This sentence is also very appropriate in the wizarding world.
Just like in the first university, standing at different heights, there are huge differences in the scenery you see. For example, standing at the height of the great wizard, you can see the bright and endless starry sky above your head, while standing at the height of the juggler, you can only see whether there are ferocious beasts on the edge of the silent forest 100 meters away. For another example, standing on the surface, you can see the sun and the moon when you look up, there is a soft lawn with your head down, a silent forest in the distance, and a noisy market nearby; while standing below the surface, you can only touch a dark world.
This dark world is built between criss-crossing sewers and secret grottoes eroded by earth dragons. And the master of this world belongs to a group of mice in clothes.
Of course, this group of mice is not the natural owner of this dark world-before them, this world once belonged to some slippery reptiles, eight-legged insects, mutant goblins, and some dirty dead spirits. . But since the first mouse in clothes came to this world sixty years ago, all the races that used to dominate the situation have been silent one by one. Instead, more and more people wear clothes between the sewers and the grottoes. The mice.
Unlike the scrawny and mottled mice that used to beg for life in the sewers, these mice in clothes seem to have a self-consistent civilization and social organization. In this dark world, they opened schools, organized fairs, set up handicrafts, created financial systems, repaired broken pipes and severely weathered grottoes-if you ignore the appearance of these mice and the dark colors of this world, here and outside There is no significant difference in human society even compared with other civilizations in the alien world. At best, the level of civilization is slightly behind.
Compared with these mice, the aboriginal people of the underground world are obviously more civilized: reptiles like to live alone and don’t like to talk; eight-legged insects are too cruel and unpleasant; mutant goblins are organized and linguistic. Their greedy nature can destroy any kind of economic system; as for those dead souls, they are not even interested in the society of the creatures. They are more concerned about when they have the opportunity to take a few lonely creatures and draw a little bit of life. Joyful.
As the saying goes, one must be beaten if one falls behind. This is also an unbreakable truth in nature.
The clothed mice with strong organizational capabilities and advanced social forms quickly swept the entire underground world with a crushing force. The reptiles either fled or became the pets of the clothed mice; the eight-legged insects encountered more cruel creatures—the clothed mice found these thin-skinned and juicy creatures to be extremely delicious, and they simply kept them. , As a snack;
The undead were expelled; only a few strong mutant goblins remained, becoming the favorite coolies of clothes-worn rats, and were rushed to the bottom of the underground world to help the rats dig mines and repair sewers and clean up those from the ground. Dirty things dripping down.
The situation is so tragic that many aborigines of the underground world began to look forward to the surface wizards coming soon, to clean up the group of lawless rats, and even to die with them. It is the so-called ‘when you mourn, let you die.’
As the true master of Phuket Island, First University will naturally not turn a blind eye to a new society that is close at hand. As early as the opening of the first night school for mice, the First University dispatched an observation group organized by professors and researchers to the underground world to observe every move of this new society.
But beyond the expectations of the aboriginal people in the ground, after a period of observation and research, those
surface people
only slightly modified the envelope of the school’s protection formation and redrawn many guarding formations. The dark world was left unattended, as if no anomaly had ever been discovered-and the aborigines of this dark world did not even become the keywords in the wizard's observation report.
Thus, the mouse in clothes has truly become the new master of this world. And they also have an official name in the official documents of the First University-Rat Race.
Compared with the mature social form of surface people, the social form of the rat tribe is still very rough and backward. Their society presents a very rigid pyramid shape: at the top of the entire race, it is the first mouse to come to this underground world, and is called the "ancestor" by the whole rat race; and under this ancestor , Is the first batch of clothed mice he bred-these mice are now more than sixty or seventy years old. It stands to reason that they have long exceeded the life limit of the average rat race, but they still survive for some reason-these mice There are about twenty or thirty, and they are called'elders' by the rat tribe.
Under the elders, there are batches of new generations of dressing rats. These new generations wear vests of different colors according to various differences such as age, work, and status. For example, small mice under one year old are only allowed to wear yellow vests and are not allowed to go out of the underground world. Most of their jobs are to take care of bugs and go to school on time. You can put on the green vest and go out to work-this is also the most desirable job for most mice.
Because going out to work means that they can get out of this dark world~EbookFREE.me~ Go to the world where it is said that you can see the red sun and yellow moon, and the sky full of stars.
They just want to wear a blue vest. These mice have to take an academic ability test once a month. The test scope includes four subjects: language, arithmetic, ground common sense, and hole-punching skills. Only Tsing Yi mice with a good average score on the test or above Will be allowed to work in the surface world.
After these Tsing Yi mice return from work, they all need to complete their work reports and present them to the elders one by one. If the content of individual reports exceeds expectations, they are still eligible to meet the ancestor who has ignored the vulgar for a long time.
Just like Ding Dong ears and Ding Dong ears, two mice in cyan vests.
One of them met a black cat who could speak human words, and the other not only met a black cat who could speak human words, but also made a deal with the black cat. This matter is beyond the scope of the Rat Clan elder's authority.
And now, these two mice in Tsing Yi were waiting outside the elder's office, waiting for a free-time rat clan elder to take them to that sacred place and to meet their ancestors.
