123 The beginning and the end of everything.

When she heard the words of Ale, Laure couldn't help but be scared.

Onee-sama... put Lulu's soul...?

"... I asked the queen. I want Laurel to meet Ryul...."

That being said, Ellen had a question.

Even a soul ascending to heaven can tell.

Unexpectedly, the goddess told me about it.

"I know, as long as I have a contract with the Spirit."

"If you connect with the Spirit, you will benefit a little? The same goes for the human soul. It takes time to get back to heaven."

"It takes time...?

"I wonder what to say. Everything in this world is made of magic elements, right? Unlike humans and animals, spirits have different concentrations of magin."

Magic elements are so-called powers. The more powerful the Great Spirit is. I wonder if the concentration means it's that strong.

"May I sort it out a little?

Fine.

Val readily agreed to Ellen's puzzling question.

"Does man's soul return to heaven when he dies?

"Don't, don't, uh, climb up."

Vaud taught me how to supplement Ark's traceable explanation.

"I'll go into a little more detail. Everything about animals, plants and spirits, not just humans, is made from magin if you're in this world. So if you die, you go back to magic and go up to heaven."

"Yes, that's the constraint."

"So, what happens next to the magic elements that return to heaven?

"We merge into the circulation of the magic that supports this world and descend into a new land. It's a new source of life."

Having heard that, Ellen was convinced.

"I told you earlier that the concentration is different, but the concentration of spiritual magic elements takes time to disperse because of the concentration... is that OK?

"That's right, Ellen!

Well done, Val and Val clapped their hands and praised Ellen.

"The density means that the power that is gathering is also strong... Did you follow the remnants of that power to identify Mr. Ryul's soul?

Yes, I see. The Queen searched for the soul of Ryul, dyed from the power of the straw into the power of the pair. "

Laure, who broke up with Rule, kept Rule's will alive.

And he watched over the children of Ryul alone, and swore to protect the land.

But he seemed to miss me somewhere.

At that time, the straw was already surrounded by the temple. Covering my Lorelei, man tries to hunt her down with his own imagination. That's why I chose not to let Laure get hurt... "

Onee-sama......

Laure also wanted to go to the side of the alley, but she couldn't help but hesitate to go to the side of the alley with no strength.

Lorelei, who had continued to do terrible things to humans, had to be alert to humans other than Rühl and his descendants.

I didn't think it would have been good to tell Richard, but at the time, even if it was a spirit, it was quite weak, and since it was further separated from the pair, it was no different from just a long-lived cat.

Over the last few hundred years, Laure and Ale finally said they had gained strength.

That's why Ale went to wish for the Spirit Castle with the Origin if he had to.

When Ellen heard what happened, she thought, "Please wait a moment."

Ellen repeatedly recalled what Ale had said in her head.

(Something is caught...)

From what Ellen herself called "selection," I wonder if the goddess can touch people's souls.

(Why did Mother help you find Lyul's soul and reincarnate...?

With that in mind, Ellen noticed haha.

It wasn't the answer I had in mind, but I felt that another part was connected.

The fact that Rühl's soul is thick because it was contracted with Laure means that it still affects the mother or the fetus.

"Is that why Mr. Rühl returned to his ancestors?

"Eh!?"

Suddenly staring at Ellen, Rühl jumped his shoulders too far in surprise.

"What's going on?"

Duran must have been worried about that. Unexpectedly, the question came to my mouth.

"If it's a soul that retains Lorelei's power, it's also strong. Its strength is the strength of the magic element. Man's body is influenced by magic elements. It was Lorelei who gave birth to Mr Lulu with blonde hair."

"My hair...."

Really!?

Laure couldn't hide her surprise.

It was easy to think that because it was simply the soul of Lulu, it might have been returned to its ancestors, but there was a good reason.

Rühl's hair color described the strength of the bond that had sprouted between the Spirit and man.

"The colour of that damned hair traitor is the influence of Lorelei...!?

Duran's expression was filled with sadness.

Because I admired Lorelei and believed in "black," I must mourn knowing that the proof of my bond with Lorelei is "the money of the traitor."

But Laure disagreed unexpectedly.

Duran! Golden hair is not a traitor!

"Nah...."

I betrayed him a few generations ago!

Duran was surprised, as were his guards and Rühl.

A few generations ago, Hergunner had a terrible dispute over the succession to the throne.

That's when the color of the hair determined the inheritance. I kept shouting, "Stop the stray!"

I don't want the descendants of Rühl to think that way. But things got too serious, and the gold-haired family was taken somewhere.

It wasn't you who banished me because it wasn't the same color as the straw! The Templars didn't do anything wrong!

"Nh... hmm..."

Why do humans stick to color! I hate strays!

But Laure cried out that she was very sad because she admired her color.

"The Templar royal family... aren't they traitors?

The chaotic Duran muttered the visionary Vaud.

"If your ancestors weren't of the same color as Lorelei, they threw out a message that we should look for spirits of the same color."

"Oh, that's right. So I went to the hills where there was a lot of witness information about the spirits, and I really tried to find them."

The goddess murmured when she remembered that.

Duran had a headache or wrinkles between his eyebrows and held his temples with one hand when he was told that there was a misunderstanding between Helgner and Temple.
