Chapter 119: Another Nezumi (Part II)
"Great Rafal, your servant hears your call, and the creatures of the world will perish with the plague......"
"Gahaha, hey, hey, hey, hey......"
"Great Rafal, I am willing to dedicate my sense of smell and taste, and I beseech you to give me the gift."
The unconscious nezumi had a pained expression as a result of the shoulder injury, and sometimes uttered indistinct [Plague Words], sometimes with maniacal laughter, some like deranged madmen.
When Systran wakes up the nezumi with rain, Systham discovers that the nezumi is not much like a madman.
This female nezumi knows [the language of the plague] and also recognizes the words of the nezumi, similar to a fanatic follower of the god of plague and damnation.
According to the Nezumik's slumber words, she must have sacrificed her sense of taste, smell, and her left eye.
When Systran used his dagger to sever the nezumi's tendons, the nezumi let out a hoarse laugh at the nezumi, instead of showing the slightest fear.
And when Systm tasted the blood flowing from the rat's wrist with his tentacles, the female rat-man also raised her wrist and sucked her own blood, showing an expression as if she was enjoying it.
To be able to taste his own flesh like this, and eat so happily, apart from himself and the little ball, this nezumi should be the third one Sistemm has seen in this world.
In order to prevent the madman who can communicate with the evil god from blowing himself up, or suddenly sacrificing himself to do something, Systm decided to kill the nezumi as soon as possible.
There are many ways to kill the nezumi, and after thinking about it for a while, Syst decided to send his old friend Slime, who had no mind or consciousness.
In this way, even if the followers of the evil god suddenly go crazy and sacrifice themselves before they die, it will only be the slimes who will be harmed.
However, because the nezumi knew [the language of the plague], Sistemm thought about it and used the paper obtained from the nezumi wizard to write some words and ask some questions before killing the nezumi.
Contrary to Sistum's expectations, when Sistemm wrote the words [Words of the Plague], the nezumi was still insane, but his attitude changed dramatically, and his gaze on Sistemm changed.
The nezumi ignored Systham's previous act of picking on his tendons, and sent him a crazy and friendly look.
"Divine language, you even understand divine language!"
"Assert ......"
Although the state of the nezumi is still crazy, they are surprisingly able to communicate, and Sistem, who wrote the text of [Words of the Plague], has obtained a lot of information.
However, the nezuman's speech was confused, and Systm didn't know if it was true or not, so he just listened.
Based on the nezuman's words, Systham learns that the Rafal fanatic had come to his lair because of Rafal's guidance.
Well, after detailed questioning, Systham discovered that the female one-eyed rat-man would say that whatever he did, it was from Rafal's guidance.
Sistemm speculated that the nezumi had come to a higher place more than a dozen kilometers away from the rain to escape the rain, and then found the hole and decided to burrow into it.
Through his communication with the nezumi, Systham also learned about the social relationships of the nezumi.
Although they are an intelligent race and like to live together, the nezumi themselves are not as united as Sistemm imagined, and there will be small-scale wars between the nezumi, and there are classes among the nezumi.
Nezumi who live in colonies have a higher status, while some low-status nezumi live around the colonies, and these nezumi are required to hand over food to nezumi colonies on a regular basis.
It has a feeling like a lord and a peasant.
It is precisely because of this that the nezumi in the nezumi gathering place are aware of the arrival of the rainy season, while the scattered nezumi are completely unaware.
And by continuing to inquire about the nezumi, Heatham also learned about Helencia, a nezumi city in the Warren Plains.
Based on the female's confused words, Systm speculated that the nezumi had lived in the nezumi city of Helencia before being banished from the nezumi city and had come here again.
Although the female nezumi always speaks without a word and sometimes laughs in a convulsive manner, she will answer more or less when asked.
Systum gave up on his plan to kill the nezumi immediately, deciding to use the nezumi to learn the words for a while.
……
Because Heatham could communicate with the rat-man by writing [Plague Language] on paper, Heatham was learning very quickly.
In just three days, the female nezumi had verbally narrated a dozen books owned by the nezumi wizard.
These books generally don't have many pages, so although the female nezumi is often insane, they are also quickly translated.
Although the Nezumi language is not yet mastered, and the clever Black is only not satisfactory, with the presence of video recordings in the [Tools Menu], Systm can repeatedly consult the contents of books.
So the crazy nezumi lost his value to Sistem.
Systham had thought that killing the mad nezumi who could only communicate with the evil gods would be a bit of a problem, and that he would need to use his old friend Slime to complete a complicated operation.
But what did Syst not expect was that he had only used the same clumsy tricks he had used to deceive ants and some insects, and only said that by stabbing himself in the head with a dagger, he could return to the embrace of the god of plague and curse and become extremely happy.
After taking out a dagger and getting stuck in the dirt walls of the dungeon, the deranged female slammed her head into the dagger and killed herself......
Before he died, the nezumi smiled happily and maniacally, not at all like the timid and cunning nezumi that Sistemm had seen.
Compared to the cunning and easy to lie, such a crazy nezumi makes Sistemm even more fearful.
In fact, it took a while for the nezumi to die before Sistemm mustered up the courage to touch the nezumi's corpse with his tentacles, and Sistemm hesitated for a moment whether to use the nezumi's corpse as food.
……
After three days of questioning the deranged nezumi, the rain in the sky showed no signs of stopping.
Rainwater near the nest of Systham accumulated nearly twenty centimeters deep.
However, after the excavator had controlled the dirt and raised the entrance to the nest by half a meter, it was already a meter high, and Sistemm estimated that even if the rain continued for a dozen days, the nest would not have any problems.
Heatham also began to research the books left behind by the nezumi wizard.
According to a notebook-like description, the nezumi wizard who blew himself up and cast the [Spell of Severance] on him is supposed to be named Lance, an upper-class nezumi from the nezumi city of Helencia, who came here to study the plague.
Most of the dozen books are about the plague, and in addition to some about the use of plague spells, there are also many nezumi understandings of the plague.
The nezumi already knew that the plague was an extremely small germ, and they had also developed a unique spell that allowed them to see microscopic things and achieve the effect of a microscope.
Sistemm cursolutedly re-read the books, and then looked at the only book on curses, which had more than a dozen ways to use curses.
However, there is a prerequisite for the use of both plague and curse spells, which is to communicate with the evil god Rafal and offer sacrifices.
Only then can you have the possibility of casting plague and curse spells.
