50 Search. (1/2)

The file only contained the necessary information that they already received from Borin.

But since it also detailed the location of each reported incident inside the Azmar City, this would be a great help for them. At least now they knew where to start.

Ozul stood up and left as Raven and Blaze followed right after him when they had obtained everything they needed.

When they came back home, Raven could not hold back her curiosity any longer. She said;

”Why did you tell him the detail? What if... something had happened to you?”- Worry was evident in her tone. Blaze was also worried and was eager to hear Ozul's answer.

”Do you think that when Duke Edwin invested so much just to search for an item... other nobles wouldn't notice?”-

”Oliver would hear this news sooner or later... So, it doesn't matter.”- Ozul explained.

”Besides, the contract cannot harm me in any way.”-Ozul said as confusion appeared on the duo's face.

”Why can't it harm you?”- Raven asked. If this was some sort of unique technique, she also wanted to learn.

”Why?... it's because the contract binds itself to the person's heart.”- Ozul said while he kept walking, but Raven and Blaze just stood there trying to 'decipher' his words.

'If it binds to the person's heart, why can't it harm him?!'- Raven and Blaze had the same thought.

They recovered from their stupor only when they word Ozul's soft words in the distance;

”... and I don't have one...”- It seemed as if Ozul was self-contemplating rather than clearing Raven and Blaze's doubts.

But these words only confused them further! What does Ozul mean by, 'He doesn't have one'? Does he really not have a physical heart?!

It was hard for Blaze to accept that a human can live without a heart. But Raven was not as shocked as him, because she knew that Ozul also didn't have any blood!

”What? Afraid of following a 'real' Devil's Spawn?”- Ozul said when he saw that both stood still at their spots.

He obviously perceived their emotions and knew that there was only confusion in their minds.

But when they heard his words, the hurriedly composed themselves and replied;

”Hmph! You doubt that I would leave for such a petty reason?”- Raven said.

”I'm a demon. If I won't follow the Devil, what will I live for?”- Blaze replied.

”Hm...”- Ozul clearly did not care one bit for their speech as he already knew what their answer would be.

. . .

When they arrived back home, In the living room stood Raven and Blaze before Ozul. Blaze asked;

”With just this much data, how can we locate the culprits?”- There was not much information, to begin with.

They only had the locations marked where the incidents happened the most. And that too, only of Azmar City.

”The culprits cannot be too far away from the incident sites... They would have to give occasional commands to the Beasts.”- Ozul said.

”And we will just have to follow these Beasts back to them!”- Raven finished the explanation.

”The attacks of the Beasts are only to cause unrest in public, which will cause quite a commotion. But kidnapping the children seems like some sort of their short term objective.”- Raven began to explain everything to Blaze.

”We will most likely only reach back to the culprits if we follow the kidnapped children.”- She added further.
