Law of the Swarm

Chapter 211
It was given by the God of Knowledge [mind-reading technique]. Old Anthony immediately discovered Miss Jenny's mind-reading ability.

In the Kingdom of Coslin and the surrounding countries, merchants are most afraid of humans with [mind-reading skills], so old merchants are very alert to abilities similar to mind-reading.

Fortunately, even among the many believers of the God of Knowledge, there are very few people with the ability to read minds.

However, Miss Jenny's words made old Anthony very puzzled.

Not only did Jenny not have much respect for the God of Knowledge, but she even said a name - System.

The statue that Jenny mentioned before seems to be System.

"System? He is... Could it be that he is also a sleeping god?" Old Anthony touched the curly white hair on top of his head, and suddenly thought of the golden banana on the startup screen of [data template] and continued to ask: "That golden banana , Does System like bananas as sacrifices?"

Old Anthony made a sound and looked at the girl in front of him expectantly, only to find that Miss Jenny, the daughter of the count, was dizzy and her eyes had lost focus. After that, the little girl fell asleep lying on the table.

If it wasn't for the little girl's slight snoring, Old Anthony would even have thought that something happened to Miss Jenny.

Because of using [Mind Teleportation] to overdraw her energy, Miss Jenny finally fell asleep, leaving only the old Anthony who was at a loss in the room.

Not long after, under the call of old Anthony, the maid serving quickly found Miss Jenny who was asleep, and helped Jenny from the living room back to the room to rest.

And old Anthony was also invited out of the earl's castle...

Old Anthony, who was invited out of the castle, was in a state of enlightenment all the time. He even forgot the carriage he took to reach the Tennyson Manor and realized it after walking a long distance.

Old Anthony did not return to the manor to take the carriage away, but felt the [data template] ability in his body while walking.

"Could it be..."

Old Anthony suddenly figured out something.

In fact, there were more than a dozen businessmen who went to the castle with Old Anthony, and they were all summoned by Miss Jenny.

But after a few hours, all the other businessmen had left, leaving only himself.

Recalling Miss Jenny's expression at that time, old Anthony suddenly understood.

Miss Jenny is undoubtedly selecting the dozen or so businessmen.

And the self who was left to the end and was given strength, it is obvious——

"I was chosen by God!?"

Old Anthony showed an excited expression, he pinched himself a few times unconsciously, all this seemed like a dream.

After realizing that he was not dreaming, old Anthony became uneasy again.

God favors those who have faith.

Even the kindest god would not help a human being without faith for no reason, let alone endow that human being with abilities.

But why would System treat him favorably even though he knew nothing about System?
Could it be that System is an evil god?
Old Anthony shook his head.

Although System's appearance was very strange, the gods did not define good and evil by beauty and ugliness.

Feeling the miraculous advanced calculator in [Data Template], as well as various other functions, old Anthony knew that the knowledge of this god, System, must be very profound.

The gods who possess profound knowledge and create [data templates] to help human beings are by no means evil gods.

In the end, old Anthony still didn't understand why he was favored by God, but he decided to believe in System from now on.

And his first step is to complete the production of the statue of System as soon as possible according to Jenny's instructions.

The second step is to decide to purchase the bananas transported from the south of Koslin, and select high-quality bananas to sacrifice to System.

However, the next day, old Anthony brought System's statue to Miss Jenny, but got an unexpected answer from the little girl.

"Abyss... Insect Beast? What is that? How is it possible?" Old Anthony made a very surprised voice.

Although the little girl admitted that the [data template] was obtained from System, she said that System was an abyssal beast, not a sleeping god who was about to wake up.

Old Anthony's first feeling was that the little girl was lying to him.

The second feeling is that the little girl is lying to him.

The third feeling is that the little girl is lying to him.

It has to be said that the old Anthony's preconceived impression of System is really hard to change.

Even though it was Miss Jenny who gave him the [data template], old Anthony still denied Jenny's words in his heart.

In Old Anthony's mind, System is undoubtedly a god who has deep research into knowledge and explores the truth like a god of knowledge.

And the abyssal worms that Miss Jenny was talking about.

In the end, Old Anthony blamed it all. This was the test of Miss Jenny who had the ability to read minds. If his beliefs were not strong enough, he would undoubtedly be abandoned by the gods.

Miss Jenny, who loved the wooden statue of System, couldn't put it down. Because she was too focused on the statue, she didn't pay more attention to Old Anthony.

Miss Jenny didn't even notice when Old Anthony left, and naturally she didn't know what Old Anthony was thinking when he left.

……

Old Anthony, who left the Earl's Manor, did not return home this time.

Instead, he finds his old friend, Laurent, a studious young businessman.

Laurent liked magic when he was young, and later learned fighting qi, but all ended in failure. In recent years, Laurent has contacted three churches successively, but unfortunately, he did not receive God's favor.

Over the years, Laurent finally gave up his dream and decided to be an ordinary businessman with peace of mind.

It was also because of this that the old Anthony became friends with Laurent.

Because Laurent had a similar experience with him when he was young, after old Anthony saw Laurent, he seemed to see himself when he was young.

After thinking about it, Old Anthony finally told Laurent that he was chosen by God.

At the same time it was decided to create an opportunity for Laurent.

After five days.

With the help of old Anthony, Laurent created a lifelike bronze statue of System, and gave the bronze statue to "God's Beloved" Miss Jenny, and at the same time began to kneel and beg.

As if moved by Laurent's sincerity, Laurent was favored by the gods in the end, was selected, and obtained the strange ability of [data template] through Miss Jenny.

Two days later.

In order to sacrifice System, the two decided to discuss with Jenny, but Jenny ignored the two of them at all, and only said that they should handle it by themselves.

After half a month.

Old Anthony and Laurent appeared next to a huge wooden altar.

On the wooden altar, there are countless bananas that they spent most of their wealth on.

They decided to learn how to sacrifice to the God of Knowledge and sacrifice to System.

In this way, with the raging flames, the wooden altar and the bananas on the altar burned, attracting many onlookers...

It's a pity that this fire also attracted the knights of the kingdom.

So, in the process of preventing the knights from destroying the sacrifice, the two businessmen rushed forward angrily, but were killed by the knights of the kingdom on the spot.

Before they died, they tried their best to crawl into the banana flames.

……

The two businessmen died, and Miss Jenny, who was living in the castle, didn't know it, and was still obsessively playing with the statue of System.

What is strange is that although the two merchants have died, the price of bananas in the Koslin Kingdom has not gradually decreased, but gradually increased again.

Bananas are still being bought...
