Law of the Swarm

Chapter 206 The Old Lich and Sugar

The [Mind Teleportation] that has been upgraded to level 21 has become an extraordinary ability.

Although it didn't bring any new derived abilities to System, the scope of both [Spiritual Connection] and [Spiritual Network] has been greatly improved.

As long as System thinks, his [Spiritual Connection] and [Spiritual Network] can even cover a range of two or three kilometers.

Even though he is underground, he can still communicate with the ants on the surface to learn about the outside world.

However, if the distance is too far, it will undoubtedly put a great burden on System's spirit, and his spirit can last for an hour or two is already the limit.

In addition, the biggest improvement of [Teleportation] is the induction of other life emotions.

System can feel that, for him now, unless the target has the means to shield his inner emotions, he can sense any emotion in life.

Just when System realized this, a buzzing sound came from his ears again...

Not long after, the system prompt sound from [Tools Menu] also came.

Ding!You have been given the title "Listener of All Things".

……

"The Listener of All Things": The title given to System by an unknown being.The sensing ability of your [Psychic Teleportation] talent has been slightly improved.

Listen to the voice of all things, and you will know everything.

……

The information about the title "Listener of All Things" appeared in System's [Tools Menu], and System checked it quickly.

But just when System decided to further test [Mind Teleportation] and "Listener of All Things", a call interrupted System's actions.

The one who summoned System was a regular visitor, the old Lich Kazasimo. After thinking about it, System connected the old Lich's call.

He can just use the [Mind Teleportation] ability to test the old lich to see if he can sense the old lich's emotions...

Soon, System came to that familiar place, a laboratory-like room of tens of square meters.

This is where the old lich summons System every time. It seems that the old lich likes to experiment very much, similar to him, but System obviously doesn't have as many tools as the old lich.

The old lich stared at System's position without saying a word. Although System's consciousness came here and there was no entity, the old lich was able to find out where he was.

System didn't open his mouth either, just staring at the other party just like the old Lich, while testing the effect of [Mind Teleportation] on the old Lich.

In fact, during the last two or three summons, System and the old Lich were in this state. After the summons, the two psychopaths just stared at each other without saying a word.

It usually lasted for more than ten minutes, and when System saw that the old lich didn't want to say anything and had nothing to do, he would hang up the call.

But today, because of testing the ability of [Mind Teleportation], System decided to stay a little longer.

However, the results of the test were not very satisfactory. Maybe it was a plane away, or the Lich was too strong. The emotions that System sensed using [Teleportation] were very vague, but he generally knew the expressionless face. The old lich seemed a little lost and melancholy.

And just as System was carefully analyzing the old Lich's emotions with [Mind Transmission], the old Lich who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.

"Why didn't you leave this time?"

The old lich stood up from the bone chair. He picked up a thumb-sized white crystal on the table, looked at it in front of his eyes, and carefully put the white crystal back.

Watching the old lich's movements, System suddenly guessed what the white crystal the old lich was holding was through vague emotions.

White crystals are something the old lich likes very much, but they can't taste it.

If System's expectations were correct, the crystal should be a sugar cube.

Small rectangular crystal, System has seen the old lich play with it many times, he always thought it was a magic material, but never thought it would be a piece of candy.

Resisting the desire to ridicule the old Lich, System, feeling the old Lich's melancholy, said to the old Lich, "Do you like sweets?"

"Sugar? I didn't expect you, as an abyss creature, to know sugar." The old lich seemed a little agitated, but he quickly calmed down, and then continued: "Sugar is very sweet, very sweet Yes, I remember when I was seven years old, my father bought me candy for the first time, the candy was reddish brown and had a bit of a bitter taste, but I really liked it, after that..."

It seems that because the topic of candy brought back memories, the old Lich talked about his childhood experience, going to the town to steal for candy, and he also ate a lot of candy.

But after stealing an old mage, he was caught by the old mage in a dark mage tower and started his apprenticeship.

Kazaximo originally wanted to escape from the mage tower after the old mage died, but the old mage never died.

Then, when the old mage was finally about to die due to the limited lifespan and Kazaximo saw hope, the old mage transformed himself into a lich and brought him to this desolate world.

Shortly after that, Kazaximer was also transformed into a lich by the old mage.

I don't know how many years passed, but the old mage never came back, so Kazaximo was freed.

But Kazaximo didn't know how to leave the desolate Netherland, so he was trapped here all the time. He would summon some abyssal creatures to relieve his loneliness on weekdays.

The reason why System was chosen was that System was very intelligent, allowing him to play with it for a long time.

Perhaps because he knew that System would not respond to his summons in the future, the old Lich did not hesitate to reveal to System what would happen to him after being summoned. After being tired of the old Lich, he would be Crafted into a Stitch Monster, it will be treasured forever by the Old Lich.

……

The words of the old lich made System feel a lot of emotion. The character of the old lich probably became what it is now because of being alone for too long.

"Candy? In fact, I prefer salty food to sweet food." System said to the old Lich, and then sent a spiritual message to the old Lich without waiting for the old Lich's answer.

There are many kinds of spiritual messages transmitted by System, which can be words, pictures or sounds.

The spiritual message sent by System this time is a video of eating ice cream that he edited. The video not only has the picture, but also the ice cream flavor simulated by System, as well as the taste of eating the ice cream. .

The old lich who received the spiritual message was obviously stunned.

System could feel the unusually strong joy emanating from the old lich, and it took a long time for the old lich to come back to his senses and ask System, "This is... what is this..."

System did not answer, and continued to edit a few images, and stuffed them into the [Data Template], trying to use [Mind Teleportation] combined with the power of the summoning circle to send the [Data Template] to the old Lich.

[Psychic teleportation] After becoming an extraordinary ability, it seems that he can impart some spiritual abilities to others without touching his tentacles. System happened to experiment with the old lich again...
