Laws of the Insect Hive

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

In his sleep, System faintly heard the beep of the [Tools Menu], and after that, he seemed to fall asleep without any memory.

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 asleep, all the images disappeared.

Shaking his head, which was not fully awake, this sleep lasted for more than ten hours, but instead of feeling full of energy, System felt that his spirit became even more exhausted.

The God of Plague and Curse did not send too many messages to System, but only informed System that the existence in front of him was the God of Plague and Curse, and passed on to System a special language ability, and Seduce System to let him continue to gain power.

...

[Plague Word] (2/3): Rafal grants System's language ability. Can communicate in Plague, and can write and read Plague.

...

Because System's body does not have the organ for vocalization, although he has mastered [Word of Plague], System is still unable to speak such words, but he can write the words of [Word of Plague] with his tentacles.

The text of [Plague Word] was roughly the same as the text on the black animal skin book, with only a few differences, but System could fully understand it.

At the same time, System discovered that although the script used by the Rat Man wizard was different from [Plague Language], it seemed to be a script derived from the Plague Language, and System was able to recognize 12 out of ten. .

However, based on only these eleven or two words, System could not judge the contents of the books left by the Rat Man wizard.

As for the black animal skin book and what was recorded on the treasure map, System had now easily understood everything.

The scroll, which resembles a treasure map, can only be seen with a magic false eye, and records the remains of a buried legendary dagger.

According to the records on the map, this map was a clue obtained by a plague wizard named Nairahir who sacrificed himself before his death, from Rafael, the god of plagues and curses.

According to the description of Nairahir on the map, to explore the ruins of the Cursed Killer's Dagger, it is very likely to encounter unknown dangers, and appropriate preparations must be made.

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

System used his tentacles to re-read the exquisite animal skin book beside him.

The text recorded in the black hide book is how to become a follower of Rafal, and how to connect with Rafal without successfully communicating with Rafal.

The method of communicating with Rafael was actually known to System in his sleep, and it was almost the same as the method recorded in the black animal hide book.

The method of communicating with Rafael is easy to say, but difficult to say.

That is, through the portraits on the books, the statue of Rafael is made with some materials by hand. It can be carved from 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 becoming a follower of Rafal, and if the statue is not made successfully, it will never be possible to communicate with Rafal.

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

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

And all the things that Rafal bestows, there is a corresponding price to be paid.

Rafael and the god of winter are completely different gods. It can be said that he is a evil god or a devil.

In fact, even System's [Plague Word] ability was acquired by System.

However, this exchange System has not paid yet, but a form similar to a loan. When System obtains the ability from Rafal again, he will need to make additional sacrifices.

And these sacrifices cannot be replaced by other lives, they can only be obtained by sacrifice themselves.

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

This was also the reason why System called Rafael a devil. Rafael would use all kinds of temptation methods to make creatures sacrifice themselves in exchange for his power.

If System's willpower was not strong enough, he might have been hypnotized by Rafael in his sleep and sacrificed himself in order to gain power.

The previous rat-man wizard's self-destruction before he died was to use Rafal's power to use a sinister curse by sacrificing himself.

Use the tentacles to slowly close the black animal skin book.

System knew that it was because of this black animal skin book that he encountered Rafael in his sleep, and he also knew that perhaps a deal with Rafael, the god of shadows, might lift this curse on him.

But for such an obvious evil god, System was very afraid.

Reaching out his tentacles, System wanted to tear up the black animal skin book, but after a while, System couldn't get it.

System finally decided that the first thing to do is to capture the Rat Man, study the Rat Man's writings, and study the books left by the Rat Man wizard.

If the [Curse of Severance] can be solved with the ability of [Teleportation], it would be fine. If it can't be solved, he can only choose to trade with this evil god.

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

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

System quickly asked Shava to return the book to the original cave of the Rat Man wizard.

...

...

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

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

However, System didn't sleep long this time before Shava woke him up.

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

The Rat Man came from the direction of Lilte Forest and was heading towards the hinterland of Warren Plain.

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

The claws on System's mouth trembled slightly, with joy and excitement.

System decided to take revenge on the Rat Man first. Before interrogating the Rat Man, he would castrate the Rat Man to avenge Xue Ren.

He would also use his tentacles with aphrodisiac effect to entangle the opponent after castrating the rat man, and watch the reaction of the direction.

...

System quickly came to the Rat Man captured by Shava.

The rat-man was dressed in tattered brown linen clothes, and had been successfully paralyzed by the paralyzing needle of the little meatball.

However, System, who was about to be castrated, discovered that the rat man was actually a female rat man and could not be castrated at all.

After the female rat man woke up from the paralyzed state, System conducted an interrogation with a language barrier, and System found that the female rat man should not be literate.
