A deathgod artifact?

The few of them were pleasantly surprised. The excitement in the eyes of Joelson and Godfrey could not be hidden any longer.

If they could obtain information about the deathgod artifact, then all the hardships and setbacks they had gone through along the way were worth it!

"Deathgod artifact? Johann, are you really sure that it's a deathgod artifact? Could it be that you heard it wrong?"

To be on the safe side, Godfrey asked again.

"No, no, no, I didn't mishear. I heard the words clearly. Deathgod artifact. There's no mistake."

Johann said with certainty.

"Then..."

Joelson stroked his chin and thought for a moment, quickly sorting out the logic of the whole matter in his mind.

That royal envoy only started to think about the deathgod artifact when he came into contact with that skeleton archmage.

In other words...

The news of the deatgod artifact was actually obtained by the royal envoy through the skeleton archmage...

That was why he killed the skeleton archmage. So that was the case. Since that was the case, everything could be sorted out.

"F*ck..."

If that was the case, it seemed that the royal envoy was quite ambitious..

Joelson replayed the entire incident in his mind.

Perhaps the skeletal archmage had found out about the whereabouts of the deathgod artifact from god knows where, or some other news. In short, there was news about the deathgod artifact.

After the skeletal archmage received this news, he must have been, or rather, was very anxious, wanting to hurry back and report to his king. And at that moment...

The skeletal archmage had bumped into the royal envoy...

After being interrogated by the royal envoy, he had been cruelly killed...

The royal envoy had harbored evil thoughts, wanting to intercept the deathgod artifact. That was why he had killed that so-called skeletal archmage.

However, if that was the case... it would be troublesome...

Joelson furrowed his brows in worry.

If others were to know of this existence, then the situation would definitely be stirred into a mess.

If that was the case...

It would be difficult to handle.

Joelson's mood was mixed with happiness and worry.

Half of it was happiness. It was rare to receive news of the deathgod artifact. This way, his group would not have to wander around aimlessly like headless flies.

The other half were worried.

After the royal envoy found out about the whereabouts of the deathgod artifact, he ordered the skeleton archmage's subordinates to be hunted down...

Then, were there people under the skeleton archmage who knew about the whereabouts of the deathgod artifact?

If they knew, then once they told the news of the deathgod artifact to others, then there would definitely be more forces joining the battle for the deathgod artifact...

In that case, the situation was very bad for him. The fewer people who knew the news of the deathgod artifact, the better. Now that so many people knew about this matter, the situation was instantly difficult to handle.

Moreover, it was not just that skeleton archmage.

There was also that royal envoy...

Did the royal envoy tell his king about this matter...

If his king knew about this matter... then it would be even more troublesome.

After all, the Underworld was a place full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. He was not that powerful, so powerful that he could ignore the struggles of all the forces.

Damn it... it was really troublesome...

Joelson rubbed his head in distress. He had a headache!

"Then, how much do you know about that skeleton archmage?"

After agonizing over it for a while, Joelson asked.

Instead of wasting his time here, he might as well ask for more information.

Who cares what it is.

If he dares to fight with me for the deathgod artifact, I'll kill him!

I'll kill whoever dares to come!

What's there to be afraid of? I'll just kill him!

"Hmm... about the skeleton archmage... I really don't know who he is, because when I came back, my master, the royal envoy, had already killed him."

"Is that so..."

Joelson sighed.

"However, instead of asking me, why don't you ask him directly? The person next to me, his master is the skeleton archmage. Perhaps, compared to asking me, this skeleton archmage might know more."

Johann said and pointed to another ball of soul fire beside him.

That ball of soul fire was the skeleton that he had chased after previously. At this moment, his eyes were staring blankly at the ground, as if he had no consciousness of his own.

"Hmm... that's true!"

Joelson expressed his understanding. After listening to Godfrey's translation, he nodded.

"Then, Godfrey!"

Upon hearing Joelson's call, Godfrey immediately replied:

"I'm here, my master. Do you have any orders?"

"Can you wake him up? The skeleton man that was being chased doesn't seem to have his own consciousness."

"Yes, indeed."

Godfrey looked at the lifeless skeleton man, who seemed to have no consciousness of his own. He nodded and said.

"Let me wake him up!"

After saying that, Godfrey made a hand gesture.

"Wake up, confused soul. Return to your body with your doubts!"

A golden light suddenly appeared and directly drilled into the lifeless skeleton man's head.

His expression became painful. After struggling for a while, he woke up.

I... I was there..

The skeleton man opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him with a blank expression.

He touched his own body and suddenly realized that he couldn't touch anything.

"What... I... Why can't I touch my own body...?"

The skeleton man wanted to touch his face in shock but his hand went through it again. He couldn't touch anything.

"This..."

The skeleton man couldn't figure out what was happening at the moment. He trembled in fear.

"This guy... doesn't seem to know that he's dead..."

Joelson touched his chin and looked at the skeleton man's panicked reaction.

"Yes, my master."

Godfrey nodded and agreed with Joelson's guess.

"Well, how could this be? Don't you think Johann knows his own condition very well?"

Joelson looked puzzled.

"Yes, but not everyone can achieve the state of relief that Johann had. Only those who had no regrets before their death and reincarnated as the dead could achieve the state of relief that Johann had. As long as there are regrets and obsessions before their death, they will be like this skeleton man, completely unaware of the fact that they have died, and fall into a kind of confusion and pain."

Godfrey explained.

"Oh... That's terrible..."
