Chapter 3, Tuka's Lucky Day

However, just when Tuka felt that everything was normal, suddenly, a giant rat leaped up from the front and into a sewer opening directly above them

Even under one-on-one conditions, Tuka not only defeated the Gnoll but also brought the Gnoll's corpse back to the Ratmen's gathering place, allowing all the Ratmen to share in its flesh

In the first three months, Tuka did not undergo mount training, as it is essential to understand that the training of a knight is inseparable from that of their mount

Many contemporaneous mouse people withdrew due to the tedious long spear training, finding it uninteresting

And Tuka just happened to catch a ride on the coattails of fortune, becoming one of the beneficiaries, which is also why the elder Teacher Shu often says that their generation is the luckiest.

It is not that the professions of ranger and rogue cannot slay dragons, but rather that confronting a giant dragon while mounted is the true act of a hero.

Tuka was also very happy in her heart, as the Dark Path Priest had indeed spoken correctly

In the end, he was the only one, the sole individual among the first batch of ratmen to become a knight

This time, the mission card carries the command for a ritual, to come to this newly developed sewer area and search for suitable strongholds

Professionals also have a qualification rate. Although many ratmen apply for training in the professions of thief and ranger, half of them are eliminated in the first round, and even fewer are able to progress to become professionals.

However, those ratmen who have tasted the flavor of human infants cannot forget that taste after having experienced it a few times

More fragrant than cheese, sweeter than cake

The training with long guns is rigorous, and Tuka is also capable of enduring hardship

It gazed at the dense swarm of giant rats ahead, as well as the tribesmen on the giant rats, feeling an indescribable sense of pride in its heart

However, despite this, Tuka mastered the art of riding giant mice in just nine months, a remarkably short period of less than a year. This demonstrates that Tuka's talent is not lacking, at least in terms of his aptitude for knighthood.

It was born four years ago, and only after one year did it barely develop consciousness. Before that, Tuka was merely following instincts, rather than acting as an intelligent being

The breeding of giant rats within the clan was only scheduled for the third month after the commencement of professional training, and by the time the breeding of giant rats began, six months had already passed

The previous conditions within the clan were truly deplorable, consisting merely of a group of the elderly, young, sick, and disabled barely surviving in the sewers, living a life far worse than that of the rats in the sewers.

At that time, both his father and mother, as well as his more than ten siblings, regarded it as a joke

Tuka felt the unique damp and cold wind of the sewer sweeping past her body from both sides, her glossy black hair blowing like the wheat in a rice field, undulating in waves

The ratman, inherently flawed in strength, actually aspires to become a knight

rather than secretly plotting behind someone's back, poisoning, launching surprise attacks, or slitting throats

Although among that batch of fewer than one hundred new ratmen, only five were willing to choose to become knights, the others were naturally either ratmen rangers or ratmen thieves

Especially on the eve of slaying the evil dragon, at that moment, the protagonist Li Wei stood atop the dying dragon's head, holding a lance, murmuring, "Let me, the insect in your eyes, bring an end to your wicked life!"

However, Tuka, unlike its fellow citizens, did not choose the ranger or thief, which the rat people are naturally most adept at

However, this did not dampen Tuka's unwavering spirit; he still persisted in following the path of a knight

Today is indeed its lucky day, so it might as well be renamed to Tukaasa

The path of the knight, though lonely and rugged, can be accompanied by glory, unafraid of hardships

The dozens of giant rat knights below also began to cheer with squeaks.

Tuka, no, it should now be Tukasa

Sometimes, when listening to the elders of the clan who have lived for ten years recount past events, Tuka feels a chill run down his spine

He is a rat person who has just turned 4 years old, which is considered middle-aged in rat person years

The rat people who have been born within the clan for a full year still require specialized vocational training to enhance their combat capabilities

After all, even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and the wisdom of the rat people is not to be underestimated. They consider reproducing in batches, ensuring that they do not put all their eggs in one basket

However, as a knight, Tuka still evokes a sense of immersion

Card Master! Living! Human infant! Female!

We have not been apart even while sleeping

Among the last five individuals, only Tuka persevered.

Even able to smell the scent of humans, could it be that this time it has detected something?

Li Wei has forged ahead through countless obstacles, slaying countless monsters along the way, including the wicked dragon that had kidnapped the princess, which also met its demise at his hands

Under the conditions at that time, the method for the sacrificial training of the Tuka was to have them take a dry branch that was taller than themselves, using it as a spear, and to thrust and poke it five hundred times each day

However, afterwards, they fell silent, for Tuka truly became a giant rat knight

The giant rat known as Vichy, adorned with the insignia of the ratmen, is the most suitable among this group of ratmen knights to serve as a scout, as its nose is highly sensitive and can detect scents that the ratmen cannot.

Faced with such a creature, the once weak ratmen had no choice but to burrow into narrow crevices

Only by venturing forth can one discover surprises

Happily looking at the Vicky that has already entered the sewer, with its tail completely vanished.

This is a dream in his heart, the dream of a dragon slayer, and of course, it is also influenced by the book "Knight Li Wei"

One can see its charm; however, once this group of eleven giant rat knights graduates, it is expected that things will improve significantly

If we only consider the rate, one-fifth represents a relatively high probability

Until the emergence of the rituals three years ago, it saved their sewer rat clan, allowing them no longer to struggle daily for food

Now, there is capital to counterbalance.

At that time, the Tuka rode the giant rat, patrolling the sewers of the rat people almost every day, not only daring to confront the swamp frogs

Although ratfolk are inherently endowed with stealth and heightened senses, and considering that this is the sewers, it can be said that these two professions are the most suitable

As a giant rat knight, he is currently at the peak of his abilities. At this moment, with a single charge, if accurate, it is not difficult to take down an adult goblin. It is important to note that goblins were once a nightmarish presence for the ratmen.

However, these were also earned after nine months of sharing food and sleeping with the giant rat

The diagram card is one thousand times, and in some cases, it can reach up to one thousand five hundred times

He is also the first giant rat knight in the sewers of Kalando, as evidenced by the difficult journey depicted in the image

Tuka to Vichi Interchange

A three-meter-long spear penetrates halfway into the bone, the evil dragon has fallen

This can already be considered late intelligence among the rat people, after all, the so-called genius mutant rat people can awaken their abilities in just one month

In the language of the rat people, "Kasa" carries the connotation of luck

The story cards inside are already deeply ingrained in my mind

This sentence is also recorded in the human book "Knight Levi", in which the protagonist Levi, although a human knight

A first-level knight, as the name suggests, requires a mastery of equestrian skills and a proficient command of lance weaponry

Yet every time I looked at the image card, I was filled with a shiver, my hair standing on end, as an indescribable sensation permeated its skull

However, he still chose the Giant Rat Knight. When he heard the priest mention the profession of Giant Rat Knight, he resolutely disregarded his family's advice and decisively chose to become a knight

Now, as he reflects on his life, it is filled with legendary tales, much like what is said in the book he cherishes most among human literature, "Knight Levi"

It is important to note that at that time, the one who killed the Doghead was none other than Tuka, who was the dream lover of countless female ratmen. As a result, among the current generation of ratmen, there are still many who carry the bloodline of Tuka.

"Vicky! Catch the live one"

Vicky? What is the situation!

Vicky joyfully exclaimed above, as if she had discovered a great treasure

The profession of knight became popular among the ratmen after the giant rats were fully cultivated.

At that moment, it made Tuka feel as if his entire being was about to float away, which is also the reason why he has been so determined and relentless in his desire to become a knight

Moreover, in addition to regular training, at other times, in order to always carry the long gun and experience the control of distance, he even used a rope to bind his hand to the long gun.

The profession of the Giant Rat Knight has risen to the top as the most desired career among the ratfolk

Sometimes even a ratio of 20 to 1 cannot be achieved
