Thousands of years ago, the war of the gods swept across the continent where humans lived, and also divided the originally intact continent into two parts.

No one knows why the goddess and the demon king, who have always had a good relationship, suddenly started a war, and those who know a little bit about the inside story only know that it was the goddess who provoked this battle first.

Naturally, there were two factions between the gods, and there were originally some neutral gods who joined the demon king's side when they saw that the demon king was under attack from the goddess in order to protect humans.

Valuto, the god of death, is one of them.

The Grim Reaper is in charge of the end of human life, but he doesn't like to see humans change undue to the interference of the power of the gods.

It is rumored that thousands of years ago, the Grim Reaper had the same good relationship with the goddess and the demon king, so he chose neutrality. And not long after he joined the Demon King's side, he disappeared.

The Grim Reaper became the Demon King's best friend after standing on the Demon King's side, and his disappearance also brought a lot of blows to the Demon King's side. At the end of the war, the Demon King dragged his battered body and led his men and his people to settle on the other side of the continent, and set up an enchantment to prevent the invasion of the goddess's side. The goddess side is naturally not without losses, and neither side should continue to fight, so the goddess side has also set up a defense against the attack of the demon king.

There is a secret theory about the disappearance of the Grim Reaper, who discovered the cause of the war before he disappeared and went to investigate it alone, only to be wiped out.

The Demon King denied that the Grim Reaper had fallen, but did not comment on the first half, which also made people more convinced that the Grim Reaper had suffered something because he had discovered the truth.

After the disappearance of the god of death, the end of human life still needs to be managed by gods, so the current agent of the god of death stays in the palace of the demon king every day, looking forward to the return of the real god of death day and night.

According to reliable sources, the last place where the Grim Reaper disappeared was in Serratua, a place that was a relic thousands of years ago.

The ruins are about 4 kilometers east of the town of Timae.

“…… Although it sounds a bit ridiculous. "But I think ...... We may have found out what we were here for......"

This time, no one was going to laugh at Wokan.

After the disappearance of the god of death, the demon king has sent many gods to find his traces, and even the goddess side has also searched. But none of them could get the slightest trace of Death's whereabouts.

As a human being trying to find a missing deity, this seems like too much. Even though their ancestors were gods, the divinity in their blood had long since been wiped out by the blood of humans for many generations.

“…… Don't think about that yet. Kyild knocked on the table, breaking the breathless silence, "The information is not yet complete, and we can't speculate." Back to the pace we should have—then, did the cronies around that lord match Ogani? ”

In order to find the Grim Reaper, his subordinates and relatives were naturally pushed into people's field of vision. But the Grim Reaper had been a loner until he met the Demon King, and he had few subordinates. The current agent of death was one of his cronies, and it was clear that the agent who was currently struggling to cope with the duties of the god of death was not able to act as an old man in this town.

"Except for the one who is now in the capital...... That's it', right? Wokan showed a serious face, but his unorthodox tone revealed that he didn't have much real awe, "That super famous craftsman, in the war a thousand years ago, all our weapons came from him, and he was even able to give the characteristics of creatures to weapons, and he achieved excellent results on the battlefield. ”

"But he probably didn't leave the capital either." Ranoda quickly asked, "After the end of the war, he, like the acting officer, stayed in order to maintain the stability of the Demon King Continent and did not retreat. Although the Demon King's acting officer never restricted his movements, he established a tool factory near the Demon King's Palace—although he didn't need weapons to end his life at war, he did need tools for life. He's been in that tool shop all along, and that's what everybody knows. ”

"The perfect answer, Lanorda, is worthy of being the daughter of the 'teacher'." Leti said gently, "I also visited the craftsman when I was a child, and his appearance and temperament were far from that of Ogani. And most importantly...... The aura on that lord's body is special, and it is difficult to be concealed by props, and he himself does not use the technique of blocking the breath. ”

"So Ogani isn't that craftsman either?" Kyild frowned, "But that's the most reasonable inference, think about the 'key' in his mouth." Isn't the 'key' stored in the human body in line with the craftsman's philosophy of 'giving biological properties to tools'? ”

"And...... There is no one else around the Grim Reaper. Rosette whispered, "The others no longer have the right to use the Grim Reaper's Mark. ”

The room fell silent again. Biancole looked left and right at his companion with a dark expression, then at Kyalde, who was frowning, and quietly took the hand on his lap with his own hands.

Kyild was stunned for a moment, but quickly disguised his surprise. He flipped the hand over and grabbed the petite palms instead. His mood also improved strangely, and he was no longer as stuffy as he was just now.

"Is it only the closest cronies who can use the sigil?" Lanoda looked at the sigil thoughtfully, "What if...... Can the cronies of that cronie be able to hold the 'marked item'? ”

Wokan stared straight at Lanorda, which gave her a cautious and defensive expression.

"My good girl, how did your little brain grow?" Wokan's exaggerated aria turned Lanoda's expression into obvious disgust, "It's a genius that you can have this kind of thinking. ”

“…… I doubt very much you're laughing at me, Vokan. "If you're serious about appreciation, then I'll think you're being dominated by emotions and just speaking casually in order to please me without regard to reality." ”

Wokan clutched his chest and slumped on the table.

"It's not entirely out of the question." Leti said fairly, "Assuming that Ogani is a close confidant of the craftsman, it is permissible for the craftsman to give the object with the mark of death to Ogani for safekeeping, out of trust. ”

"Actually, we don't need to dwell too much on it." "We are looking for the owner of the sigil in order to know the identity of Ogani and to determine whether Ogani really belongs to this deity based on the similarity of his cronies." However, when we confirmed that this mark belonged to Lord Valuto, the god of death, I think you also felt the fluctuations of the level that came from the mark and was very close to that of Lord Mada. ”

Kyild's words made Leti and Wokan think, and he himself leisurely held Bianco's hand, enjoying the comfort in his soul after being affected by the other's breath.

"Kai is right." Wokan first let go of the previous entanglement, "Since we have confirmed that this mark belongs to the Grim Reaper, then we don't need to explore the identity of Ogani too much. After all, if he wasn't loyal to death, he wouldn't be able to afford the book with the mark. So do you want to read what is written in the book? After all, we have been delayed a lot. ”

Letty nodded her head in agreement. They all stared at the book in front of them and opened it carefully in awe.

That night, they went back to their rooms to rest.

They were exhausted from the night's reminiscences of the imprints of the gods, and there was nothing in the books that baffled them, so they were more relieved to recuperate.

While Biancole went to wash, Kyild lay on the bed and flipped through the book as if he were reading some pastime.

After Organi's credibility was confirmed, he cared most about nothing else, but Bianco's situation and the "soul resonance".

He had heard of soul resonance before.

According to the aristocracy, people with similar soul wavelengths have a chance to resonate, and this resonance can bring about a win-win effect. For example, a soul with an affinity for fire and a soul with an affinity for both fire and wind will resonate, and when the two use magic together, the former will have an affinity for the wind that he does not normally have, and the power of fire magic will be doubled for both.

But according to Organi, the resonance didn't seem to be limited to this level, at least he had never heard of those who fought together to blend their soul aura with each other, because it was very dangerous to behave.

Sending one's own soul breath to the other party is undoubtedly a send-off. In the soul of the other party, as long as the other party wants to, then the other party can wipe out the foreign breath at will, and even attack the soul of its body with the traces of the outside.

According to the theory of this book, the resonators should trust each other completely and unreservedly. If he were to evaluate it, the wording of the book would be less like a partner, more like a ...... Mate.

Judging from the information revealed in Ogani's words, this situation also exists in the Goddess Continent. The Goddess Continent calls it "symbiosis", which is more like an object that will haunt you for a lifetime than just a collaborator.

Moreover, he is far from Bianco's soul characteristics. Yes, he knew very well that the girl did not have any affinity for the elements of magic. Not only Bianco, but also Lanoda and Rosette do not possess any characteristics of the magical element. This is a very strange phenomenon, not to mention others, Rosette, as a descendant of a nobleman, no matter how far that family has declined, the power in the bloodline will never disappear to the point that there is no trace at all.

He couldn't help but wonder if the "ability" in them, or the existence of the "key" that Ogani evaluated, covered their own soul traits. But if that's the case, how can their resonance be achieved?

At this stage, the answer to all this can only be found in this book.
