Chapter 433: Gnawers
With the rat men restrained, Sage locked eyes with one of them, Tell me about the world.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.
Only, the response was unintelligible. While his intention was transferred, he didnt speak the same language as these rat people. Their speech, if you could call it that, was a sort of guttural chittering. He tried a few other ways to speak with them and then gave up. He threw the whole lot of them into his Inner World, putting them next to the mothers of the five Tiankong Siblings. He took away all their equipment and instructed some Hoplites to learn their language and put it onto a Memory Sphere. While Sage no longer trusted Hoplites in the outside world, they were more capable of learning than the Dragoons. He already knew of their flaw, being absolutely loyal to their superiors, no matter who they were. Only, in the Inner World, Sage was like a god. The Hoplites were downgraded from soldiers into stewards and caretakers. If only I could increase their intelligence even more I could have a whole race of craftsmen and researchers working for me.
The Memory Seed rode in his body and it acted like a sort of invisible camera man, recording the world and events that happened around him. It couldnt see inside his body, read his mind, or track his consciousness. Hmm, now that I think about it the Memory Seed would be perfect for making some reality shows. We may have to share the Airships with others, but the media business is untapped ground. If only cultivators werent so hooked on training all the time.
The giant cockroach only got a little more of an examination before Sage sent it to an Insect Ranch on the Inner World. It appeared to just be a giant cockroach, but with slightly more intelligence to put it on the level of a cow. It didnt seem to have any extraordinary characteristics, but better safe than sorry and Sage didnt want to miss anything. Next he examined their equipment. Surprisingly there were a few things that seemed at a much higher technology level than the Cultivator World. The goggles were double-pane and had a small circle in one corner with an actual magnifying lens built in. On the Cultivator World, glass was only used to make decorative trinkets. They werent even making windows out of it, let alone knowing how to create magnification or using two panes to prevent fogging up.
Hed given the rat people over to some Hoplites to learn their language. Without anything to rely upon, it could take years to slowly piece something like that together. Especially since the Hoplites werent that bright to begin with. Yet, with the time dilation, it would take less than five days for a full year to pass in the Inner World. In just 90 days, nearly 20 years would go by. Sage wasnt worried about them being able to learn the language, he was actually more concerned the rats would die before the Hoplites could complete their knowledge.
Sage wasnt here for that. Instead he went to the Insect Ranch where hed sent the giant cockroach and used it to breed a variant of the Warp Worm and the Dragoons. From what he saw, the skies were pretty clear so if he wanted a guaranteed way to escape hed choose to go underground. He didnt plan on completely replacing the Dragoons at this point either, but he also planned to tweak and improve them as much as he could. They werent meant to be the most powerful creatures, but the most efficient. Just like a colony of ants. Even if an individual ant wasnt a match for most other insects or creatures, they made up for that with numbers and in order to focus on quantity, it was important to make each individual as simple and efficient as possible. Or at least thats what it came down to for him. The more complicated they were, the more energy and resources they took to hatch and raise to maturity.
When he exited the Universe Ring a few days later, Sage was met with two new discoveries. The first, was that his assumption had been correct. That greyformation hed seen from above was in fact a city. A ruined and devastated city, but a city nonetheless. The second, was that the number on the back of the golden token had ticked down to 107.
Ahh, so it was weeks. Wan Ling is not going to be happy about me being gone for two more years...
