Law of the Swarm

Chapter 719 The Old Lich and the Little Boy

Just in the process of System using the Internet to make a mess.

The old lich in the Komo world has summoned dozens of skeletons near the garbage mountain one after another, and began to search for news about the owner of the "Heavenly Falling System" - in the Komo world, there seem to be many unburned corpses.

This is a sad world, even more chaotic than the human kingdoms adjacent to the Wolf Man in the Warren Plain.

Because even in those backward countries, human corpses will not be thrown into the garbage mountain like garbage.

Unnamed corpses can be seen everywhere, and people in the science and technology world have long been accustomed to these, and take them for granted.

The skeletons gathered tremblingly beside the old lich. Some of the soul fires in their eyes were brighter, and some were darker. Because the time of death was different, the souls of these undead creatures had some differences.

The skeletons with dim soul fires have been dead for at least a year, and their souls have all dissipated. The old Lich's [Skull Summoning] is equivalent to condensing a brand new soul for them. It will take several months for the soul to fully recover. It will be completely stable, and the soul fire will become bright.

These skeletons will have some instincts from their previous lives, and perhaps some memory fragments from their predecessors, but they have actually become brand new individuals.

The bright skeletons with soul fires represent that the death time of these people is not long, and the souls of these skeletons have not completely dissipated.

Because of the old lich's superb necromancy, these skeletons generally have memories of their lifetimes. While accepting the old lich's call, they slowly moved towards the old lich, while touching their cold and hard skulls in doubt .

Obviously, there are many skeletons who are wondering about their resurrection from the dead.

And in the process of these skeletons coming back to life, the trembling ten-year-old boy surprisingly stopped crying, and he looked at the old lich no longer with fear, but full of curiosity.

"That's Uncle Joseph..."

The skinny little boy wore a slightly larger protective suit in tatters, and his blond hair was covered with oil. He wiped his eyes, stared at a one-armed skeleton and made a sound.

There were many skeletons with mutilated bodies, but the walking posture of this skeleton was almost exactly the same as that of Uncle Joseph who had helped him several times.

Reminiscent of the flesh and blood skeleton that had been ripped open from the corpse before, the little boy seemed to understand something, and he walked towards the old lich.

"Can you turn me into them?"

The little boy stood in front of the old lich, his blue eyes full of anticipation. As he carefully watched the old lich and his group, the little boy's expression became more determined.

Children are more sensitive than adults. He found that although these monsters or gods looked terrifying, they had no intention of killing them.

And as he got closer to the old lich, the little boy discovered that the wrinkled gray skin of the old lich was covered with a set of exquisite robes without any stains or dust, and the clothes on the slime people around him were also neat as new.

These brand new clothes are even more expensive than those owned by the nobles in Sky City. Not only that, the little boy also smelled a faint fragrance from the old Lich.

The little boy didn't know what this fragrance was, it was something he had never smelled since he was born, he only knew that it smelled good.

Not the aroma of food, but something special.

Obviously, the little boy who grew up at the bottom of the Kemo world had never seen flowers at all, and it was even more impossible to know that the scent on the old lich came from the perfume of roses.

The strange laughter of the old Lich gradually stopped. He stared blankly at the little boy for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice: "You said, you want to become the same bones as them?"

The little boy nodded expectantly.

"Why?" The old lich looked at the little boy and asked in confusion.

In the Golden Banana Federation, if it wasn't for the end of life, and there was no other way, almost no one would reincarnate themselves as an undead creature, let alone the most garbage skeleton among the undead creatures.

Listening to the old Lich's inquiry, the little boy gave a very simple answer without hesitation: "Because if I become them, I won't be hungry."

"hungry?"

The old lich looked at the little boy, and without knowing why, he took out a beautiful bone jar, and there were many white sugar balls the size of marbles in the jar.

No one knew, not even the old lich's disciple Jenny, that these sugar balls were secretly made by the old lich in memory of the past during his free time in liver games in the past two years.

The appearance of the sugar balls was similar to the ones he ate when he was young, but since he became an undead creature, he could no longer taste the taste, and the old Lich didn't know what the sugar balls he made were like.

The old lich opened the jar in his hand, handed out a pill to the little boy, and motioned the little boy to eat it.

The little boy didn't doubt it either, and ate the jelly beans directly.

Soon the little boy's eyes widened.

This kind of sweet jelly beans with a hint of milk taste was something the little boy had never eaten before, and he showed an expression of enjoyment.

Jie Jie Jie Jie's strange laughter came from the mouth of the old Lich again, but hearing the old Lich's laughter again, the little boy could no longer feel the slightest bit of eerie terror.

After enjoying the deliciousness of the candy ball for a while, the little boy vomited the candy ball into the small plastic box he carried with him with a look of reluctance—naturally, the little boy couldn't finish eating this delicious food in one go.

The old lich nodded lightly. Looking at the little boy's movements, he seemed to see himself when he was young. He was also like this at that time. He bought an irregular sugar ball with the saved copper and was reluctant to eat it all at once. .

At that time, he also set a weird rule for himself, he had to silently recite a hundred numbers in his heart, and then he could lick the candy.

"After you become them, you will no longer be able to taste this sweet taste." The old lich stroked the little boy's dirt-covered head with his hands, and sighed hoarsely.

The little boy was puzzled at first, but quickly understood the meaning of the old lich's words.

His hands tightly held the plastic box containing the sugar balls, showing a struggling look, but the little boy finally knelt down under the old Lich, and begged the old Lich: "I don't want to go hungry anymore, You'd better let me become them."

Listening to the little boy's words, the old lich showed a puzzled look.

Because he is an undead creature that can't be hungry, and later lived in the Golden Banana Federation where food can be wasted at will, so the old lich doesn't know the horror of hunger at all.

hunger.

The old lich opened the [data template] and entered this word. With the help of Master M, the old lich quickly got an explanation of hunger.

As he watched the explanation of the entry, the old lich showed a thoughtful look, and even used the sensory video library to simulate the feeling of hunger.

"It seems that if the people here are starving, they will not be able to play games properly..."

The old lich let out a sigh of emotion, and he found that the little boy was turning his head to look at the sky obliquely above, where a woman floating in mid-air seemed to appear.

Twisting his head, the old Lich Kazaximer met the goddess of fate, Furney for the first time...
