Chapter 2151: Contradictory Commission

Xia De suspected that Little Mia understood the word "cat" said by Miss Ilese, because it struggled even more violently.

"That black cat... Then Miss Ilese, you appear here now because..."

Before the question was finished, Xia De felt the anchor silver ornament in his pocket heating up. The blue-eyed girl continued to walk toward the depths of the cemetery with him:

"Mr. Watson, please lead the way, the fourth task is about to begin."

Miss Ilese didn't say where to go, so Xia De led the way and found the grave of Mr. Harry Gillot, who was killed in the Luo De card casino, according to the location recorded on the note.

It is called a grave, but it is actually a wall space belonging to him in the tomb room in the underground area of the cemetery to place the urn. Because it was buried by the church out of humanitarianism, the specifications of the urn were quite simple, and the inscription on the side only simply marked the name and the date of birth and death.

But at least there were two bunches of white jasmine flowers that were a bit withered beside the urn. It looked like even a criminal still received the respect that the deceased should have.

The underground tomb was extremely cold, but neither Xia De nor Miss Ilese showed any discomfort. Xia De of course did not expect to find the possible Luo De cards under the urn. Even if that card was on Mr. Gillot at the time, it had long been taken away by others.

He originally wanted to communicate with the spirit to ask, but he did not master the high-end technology of bone communication. Fortunately, the soul of the dead merchant himself was here. When Xia De and Miss Ilese came to the tomb, the soul of Harry Gillot was standing expressionlessly in front of the wall full of urns. After Little Mia "roared" at him, the soul looked at the two.

Xia De was not surprised that Little Mia could see ghosts, as it was not the first time he knew. He just looked at the ghost, and after making eye contact with the ghost, the latter understood that he had encountered a legendary transcendent.

The ghost still retained quite high intelligence, and after a slight consideration, he knew why they came:

"Did you come here to find the Holy Sword?"

"Holy Sword?"

Xia De was surprised for a moment, and thought of the chosen one ritual this time, but he thought too much this time.

"【Holy Sword - Dragon Slayer Sword】."

The ghost said very calmly:

"Except for me, no one knows where it is. Help me do one thing, and I will tell you where I hid it before I died."

"But look, I can see your soul now, and of course I have a way to make you tell the truth."

Xia De said so, not because Miss Ilese was by his side, he just casually agreed to such a request. Xia De knew what he wanted to do:

"You want me to help investigate the cause of your son's death, and then help him take revenge, right?"

The ghost of the tobacco merchant nodded:

"Yes, complete what I didn't complete before I died. You don't need to investigate. The casino I broke into before I died is the mastermind. Find the person who killed my son, and then bring him to me."

He did not doubt that Xia De had the ability to force him to speak:

"You didn't destroy me as soon as you saw me, or immediately force me to ask, which shows that you are a good person."

"Because I am a good person, therefore I want to help you?"

"No. 【Holy Sword - Dragon Slayer Sword】 is buried in front of my son's tombstone. Before I made the final decision, I left it there. Dig out the iron box, and the card is in the box. I have no other children, and I also know that my final action will probably lead to death, so I sold my family property and bought the things he liked most to give to him. Now that card belongs to you, will you help me?"

Although he retained intelligence, the soul spoke in a flat tone.

Xia De smiled:

"Because I am a good person, so you gave me the reward directly, and determined that I would definitely do things after taking the reward, right?"

"I am just a weak soul, I have no other way."

The tobacco merchant replied, and Xia De looked at the girl on the side. Miss Ilese was still smiling:

"This is your business, it has nothing to do with me, please handle it yourself."

Xia De did not tell the tobacco merchant whether he would help, but returned to the ground with Miss Ilese. Harry Gillot's son was also buried in this cemetery, but because it was a funeral arranged by Mr. Gillot, he had an independent grave.

After sneaking into the cemetery chapel to find information, Xia De and Miss Ilese found the grave with a beautiful view under the tree in the southeast corner of the cemetery area. There were not many people in the cemetery on Friday afternoon. Xia De didn't even need to cast illusions, just squatted down and dug twice with a small shovel, and really dug out the iron box that was not buried deep.

That was obviously originally a biscuit box, and after opening the box, there was really a Luo De card inside, but unfortunately only one. I saw a dragon falling in the valley on the card face, and a long sword was inserted on the dragon's head:

【Holy Sword - Dragon Slayer Sword】, Suit: Flower 13. When drawing this card, guess the suit of the next card in the deck. If the guess is correct, you can adjust the points of this card to one of the next card or this card. The next card is removed from the deck.

"Is it genuine?"

【Yes.】

"She" said gently, and Miss Ilese beside her asked curiously;

"Is this card very valuable?"

Xia De nodded immediately, standing in front of the tombstone, gently rubbing the card face with his fingers:

"The older the Luo De card, the more valuable it is. The earliest Luo De cards are the 【Founder】 series, and its value cannot even be described in money. And when the Luo De cards were first issued, the series themes at that time were not as close to life as they are now, choosing fairy tales, urban stories, machinery, and scenery. The Luo De cards of the earliest era were mostly related to more ancient legends. The Demon series, Holy Sword series, and Angel series were all issued in that era."

"Yes, for those who don't understand Luo De cards, the price of 20 crowns each is of course very high, but if you take this card that only appeared in the records of the Diviner Association but has never been seen by anyone for hundreds of years to auction, I think the price will be even higher. The money my father spent was worth it. Even if I were still alive, I would support him."

Xia De then looked at the young man who was speaking, or rather the soul of the young man. Young Mr. Gillot stood beside his tombstone, looking at Xia De holding the card with some envy. He knew very well that he was already dead, and couldn't even touch this kind of real object, so he didn't have too much hatred and resentment because Xia De took the card:

"Did my father's soul tell you the location of this card?"

"Yes, your father is not far under our feet. Don't you want to go see him?"

Xia De asked the young man who was thin and only 16 years old when he died.

Young Mr. Gillot shook his head with regret:

"I am bound here and cannot leave the range of 5 feet around my body... This is the reward he gave you, so father asked you to take revenge?"

Xia De looked at Miss Ilese again. She was still standing there with a smile and didn't speak. If it weren't for the fact that both Mr. Gillot just now and young Mr. Gillot now had looked at her, Xia De would even think that she was a phantom that only he and Little Mia could see:

"Yes, yes. Although I am still considered a warm-hearted person, compared to taking revenge for the dead, I prefer to help those who are alive. It's just that your father is very wise, he gave this to me directly."

Xia De shook the priceless divination card in his hand:

"Taking other people's things, if there is time, I have to do things for others, unless I am willing to not want this."

This is of course impossible. Even Xia De cannot be sure how long it will take to encounter the special cards of the 【Holy Sword】 series next time. Like the 【Holy Sword】 series, the 【Demon】 series is also ancient. So far, he has only obtained one 【Demon - Soul Stealer Bishop】 from that demon scholar Sean Asmon.

"Your father entrusted me to find the murderer and bring him to him. If you didn't appear, I would probably have set off by now, but now it seems that you seem to have different ideas?"

Xia De asked the thin soul, and the latter nodded. Although it was close at hand, it sounded like his voice had an echo effect to Xia De:

"Father wanted to take revenge for me with his own hands, but please don't do this. I became what I am now..."

He looked at his transparent hands:

"Although I don't understand what a soul is, I know that if we are in this state and kill someone, we can't turn back."

"Yes, especially since your father won't just kill someone simply."

Xia De agreed with his view, so young Mr. Gillot continued to request:

"I don't care that you took this card that I can no longer touch, but please don't let my father kill anyone."

"So your father hired me with this card, and you also want to use this card to stop your father from hiring me?"

Xia De asked, but didn't ask him to answer:

"This is really contradictory, I can't complete these two requirements at the same time. But you are lucky, there are things more precious than this card here."

He turned to ask Miss Ilese:

"Then the fourth task I want to complete is to successfully handle this matter?"

The blue-eyed girl responded with a smile:

"Yes, there is no specific task goal, as long as the result of the handling makes me satisfied."

Xia De nodded to show understanding, and looked up at the sun in the sky:

"It's not early, it's too late to go into the city to find the murderer, pretend to be a detective then... well, I am a detective. Acting as a detective and then going to kidnap someone, there is no time, I originally planned to tonight..."

He then asked the soul in front of him:

"For the murderer who murdered you, I think you should have guesses in your heart. Regardless of whether we will send the murderer to your father, at least you definitely don't mind letting us help you take revenge." ===== CHAPTER 2152 =====
