Mystery: Beginning with the Warrior Path

Chapter 103 Relics of the God of Death (! Please subscribe!)

Death ring...

Even though it was understood in Agnes' memory, when Herbert said the word, Roman still couldn't help feeling a palpitation.

That's a real god.

Roman looked at the exquisite little box engraved with complicated patterns, and asked Herbert:
"That ruin is really the ruin of the god of death?"

Herbert didn't seem to have such a pious belief in the god of death. Hearing Roman's slightly profane tone, he didn't get angry. Instead, he thought carefully and explained, with a tone like the kind of researcher Roman knew in his previous life.

"Actually, I don't know."

"Because of my limited strength, in the more dangerous area behind, only one Lord Saint entered and brought out this ring."

"Looking at the way he came out, he was a little embarrassed. It must be very dangerous inside."

"The inside seems more like a mausoleum, or it may be a palace, which cannot be confirmed."

"I can only confirm that there is a lot of space inside and there are many leftover items, but this ring is the most dangerous among them."

"After it is completely unsealed, it may cause a large number of deaths."

"I heard their plan, intending to use a large number of deaths to unlock the full power of this ring."

"I felt the power of God from above."

"That shouldn't be under their control."

"In the hands of the royal faction, this ring would be used to create a large number of deaths in an attempt to awaken the gods."

"They firmly believe that the gods are not really dead, but have fallen into a deep sleep, waiting for us to wake up."

"Awakening the gods will inevitably cause a lot of death, whether it's us, the Loen people, or the Feysac people."

"I can't watch a lot of life die in the midst of my research, I have to do something."

"I know that the 'Artificial Death Faction' has a stronghold in Backlund, and I have a friend there."

"If this ring falls into the hands of the 'Artificial Death faction', it will be completely sealed and used as a material for the ceremony."

"It would save a lot of unnecessary deaths..."

Roman looked at the eloquent Herbert, and interrupted:

"How can you be sure that this ring won't cause more casualties in the hands of the 'Artificial Death faction'?"

"You know, that's Backlund, a super city with a population of over 500 million."

"Once this ring is activated, whether intentional or not, it will lead to a tragic accident."

"I'm not as naive as you. Not only do I not trust the so-called 'royal faction', I also don't trust the 'artificial death faction'."

"I don't believe that if there was an opportunity to hit the 'capital of all', they would miss it."

Roman looked at the thin man in front of him with piercing eyes.

Watching his eyes gradually slack.

In fact, Roman was not surprised by the conflict between the "royal faction" and the "artificial death faction" of the spiritual sect that Herbert mentioned.

The "Royal Faction" is composed of the descendants of the Eggers family. Their idea is to resurrect, or awaken the original god of death.

They believed that the original God of Death, the "Emperor of the Underworld" Salinger, did not really pass away, but was sleeping in the depths of the underworld or elsewhere. They collected the items left by the God of Death in order to "awaken" that god.

The "Artificial Grim Reapers" tend to be artificial Grim Reapers. They got inspiration from the "Hidden Sage" who suddenly came back to life, and hope that the current only conceptualized Grim Reapers will have a similar situation.

However, Roman also has doubts about the true purpose of the so-called "Royal Faction". After all, the current leader of the "Royal Faction" is a descendant of Eggers, known as the "Pale Queen".

Sequence 1 of the suspected death path, "Pale Emperor".

For him, once the god of death returns from resurrection, he will inevitably fall, and Roman does not believe that he does not know the secrets about sequence 1 and sequence 0.

It is very doubtful that He is still obsessed with "resurrection", or "awakening" that god of death.

Unless there is a secret at the top of the "Reaper" path that Roman doesn't know, maybe He can also choose to become an angel by degrading himself without falling?
While thinking in his heart, Roman looked at Herbert.

"What else did you get from that ruin?"

Herbert, who was in a daze, answered Roman's question without much thought.

"There are mainly buildings and sculptures on the outside, and only by going deep inside can we get some valuable things."

"There are only some not-so-powerful Extraordinary items on the periphery, and I took a few."

"According to the saint, there is a huge black coffin inside, but due to customs, the specific age and function of the black coffin cannot be confirmed."

I know this, the Southern Continent has unique customs, and the coffin can even be used as a means of transportation... Roman thought secretly.

As Herbert spoke, his thoughts gradually became clearer.

"I'm not sure if the actions of the 'faux Reapers' will endanger that city, or the people there."

He looked a little guilty.

"I just wanted to keep this ring away from Balam."

"Contacted my friend via messenger and after getting a reply I made a decision."

"Thinking about it now, my 'friend' replied a little too quickly. As an ordinary member of the 'Artificial Death Sect', how could he make such a promise?"

"Maybe, after not seeing him for a few years, he has also undergone other changes..."

Roman listened and wondered if Herbert had been betrayed by his "friend" to the "Artificial Grim Reaper".

Of course, Roman felt that Herbert in front of him was more like a pure researcher, a scholar, maybe his friends were also like this.

Maybe it was just the friend's wishful thinking, thinking that the "artificial death faction" would take in Herbert and would not use that ring to do bad things.

Sometimes, pure researchers like scholars have simpler thinking, which is not surprising.

"Do you have a way to summon your friend's messenger?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Herbert asked slightly puzzled.

"After a while, I will summon a courier to send a message to your friend, saying that your whereabouts were leaked on the road, you were attacked by 'Agnis', and Fania was injured. After you are treated here, you plan to change the ship and avoid pursuit. Soldiers, set off again and arrive at Pritz Harbor 3 days later than scheduled."

"This……"

Herbert hesitated a little.

"Be careful, there is no big mistake. Besides, you were indeed hunted down by Agnes, and Faunia was indeed seriously injured. You are not deceiving your friends."

"When you arrive at Pritz Harbor and Backlund, inquire about the news first before making any further decisions. This is also for the safety of yourself and Faunia. Given her current situation, of course you should be more cautious."

Listening to Roman's words, especially the last sentence, Herbert fell into a tangle again.

He didn't want to believe that his friend had deceived him, and he didn't want to treat his friend with tentative behavior, but the current situation of Fania...

"Okay, I'll write to him in a moment, and if it turns out that I was wrong about him, I'll make a serious apology to him."

Herbert made up his mind.

Roman looked at the gradually firm Herbert, and said with a slightly relaxed tone:

"Actually, you have a better choice for that ring."

"What?" asked Herbert expectantly.

"Dedicate that ring to the Lord of Sleep and Silence."
