Law of the Swarm

Chapter 106 The Temptation of the Evil God

Ding!You gain the language ability [Plague Whispers].

During his sleep, System faintly heard the prompt sound of [Tools Menu], and after that, he seemed to fall into a drowsy sleep, without any memories appearing again.

Even after System woke up, he couldn't find any traces from the images in the [Tools Menu]. The images in the first half of his sleep still existed, but after he fell into a deep sleep, the images disappeared completely.

Shaking his still not fully awake head, this sleep lasted for a full dozen hours, but instead of feeling energetic, System felt that his spirit had become even more exhausted.

The God of Plague and Curse did not send too much information to System, but only informed System that the existence in front of him was the God of Plague and Curse, and gave System a special language ability, and Tempted System to let him continue to gain power.

……

[Plague Language] (2/3): The language ability given to System by Rafal.Can communicate in plague language, and can write and read plague language text.

……

Because System's body does not have vocal organs, even though he has mastered the [Word of Plague], System still cannot speak such words, but he can write the words of [Word of Plague] with his tentacles.

The words of [Words of Plague] are roughly the same as those on the black animal skin book, with only a few differences, but System can fully understand it.

At the same time, System discovered that although the characters used by the Ratman wizards were different from the [Plague Words], they seemed to be a type of characters born out of the Plague Words, and System could actually recognize one out of ten of them. .

However, based on only one or two dozen words, System was unable to determine what the contents of the books left by the Ratman Wizard were.

As for the things recorded in the black animal skin book and the treasure map, System has now easily understood all of them.

The scroll that resembles a treasure map that can only be seen with a magic false eye records a relic where a legendary dagger is buried.

According to the records on the map, this map was a clue obtained from Rafal, the god of plague and curse, by a plague wizard named Nera Hill who sacrificed himself before his death.

According to the text description of Nera Hill on the map, exploring the remains of the Cursed Slayer's dagger is likely to encounter unknown dangers, and proper preparations must be made.

System watched the video recording of the treasure map in the [Tools Menu] for a while, and then put down the idea of ​​treasure hunting. After all, the location of the ruins is too far away and too dangerous, at least he won't look for it now.

System used his tentacles to review the exquisite animal skin book next to him.

The text recorded in the black animal skin book is how to become a disciple of Rafal, and how to get in touch with Rafal before successfully communicating with Rafal.

The method of communicating with Rafal has actually been known to System in his sleep, and it is almost the same as the method recorded in the black animal skin book.

The way to communicate with Rafal is easy to say, but difficult to say.

That is to use the portraits in the books to make a statue of Rafal with some materials. It can be carved with wood or made of rock. The specific material is not important, but the degree of completion must be high.

This statue is the first step to become a disciple of Rafal. If the statue is not successful, you will never be able to communicate with Rafal.

Therefore, some races with poor hands-on ability may not be able to become Rafal's believers in their entire lives.

In fact, it cannot be said to be a follower of Rafal, because Rafal has no teachings, and Rafal will only continue to lure believers to exchange power from him.

And all the things that Rafal bestows, need to pay the corresponding price.

Rafal and the God of Winter are completely different gods. It can be said that he is an evil god or a devil.

In fact, even System's [Plague Words] ability was bought by System.

However, this exchange has not yet been paid by System. It is a form similar to a loan. When System obtains the ability from Rafal again, an additional sacrifice will be required.

And these sacrifices cannot be replaced by other lives, they can only be obtained by sacrificing oneself.

It can be the remaining life, the limbs and organs of the body, or the senses of one's own body, such as sight and hearing, or dedicating one's entire life.

This is why System called Rafal a devil. Rafal would use various lures to make creatures sacrifice themselves in exchange for power from him.

If it wasn't for System's strong willpower, he might have been hypnotized by Rafal in his sleep and sacrificed himself in order to gain strength.

Before the death of the ratman wizard, he blew himself up by sacrificing himself and borrowing Rafal's power to cast a sinister curse.

Slowly close the black animal skin book with the tentacles.

System knew that he met Rafal in his sleep because of the black animal skin book, and also knew that perhaps making a deal with Rafal, the God of Shadows, might lift the curse on him.

But System was very afraid of such an obvious evil god.

Stretching out his tentacles, System wanted to tear up the black animal skin book, but after a while, System was unable to do so.

System finally decided that the first thing to do was to capture the ratmen, learn the characters of the ratmen, and study the books left by the wizards of the ratmen.

It would be fine if the [Spell of Severance] could be resolved with the ability of [Mind Teleportation]. If not, he could only choose to make a deal with this evil god.

He has a lot of tentacles, and even if he cuts them off, he can quickly grow them back with the [Super Speed ​​Regeneration] ability. I don't know if these tentacles can be used as a sacrifice.

Throwing the black animal skin book aside, System thought for a while, and finally decided not to put the animal skin book in the nest, lest the book tempt him or the ant people.

System quickly asked Shava to send the book back to the original cave of the Ratman Wizard.

……

……

System rubbed his head with his tentacles. Because of the dream brought by Rafal, System became even more drowsy, and he soon fell asleep again.

This time, System successfully entered the half-asleep and half-awake state unique to insects, and his spirit quickly recovered.

However, System didn't sleep for long this time before he was woken up by Shava.

It turned out that in the process of sending the black book to the Ratman wizard's cave, Shava finally found a Ratman again, and the Ratman had been captured by Shava.

The Ratman came from the direction of Lierte Forest, and was on their way to the hinterland of Warren Plain.

Shava saw that there were no ordinary rats around the rat man, and after he was on his way alone, he followed System's instructions and caught him.

The fangs on System's mouth trembled slightly, full of joy and excitement.

System decided to take revenge on the rat man first. Before interrogating the rat man, he had to castrate the rat man to take revenge.

After he castrates the Ratman, he will use his tentacles with aphrodisiac effect to wrap him around him and watch the reaction to the direction.

……

System quickly came to the Ratman who was captured by Shava.

This rat man was wearing worn brown linen clothes, and had been successfully paralyzed by the paralyzing needle of the little meat ball.

However, System, who was about to be castrated, discovered that this ratman turned out to be a female ratman, who couldn't be castrated at all.

And when the female ratman woke up from paralysis, System conducted an interrogation with a language barrier, and System found that the female ratman should be illiterate.
