Chapter 2153: The Last Commission

~10 min read 1,811 words

"Deal with him?"

Only one-third of the sun was still above the horizon, and the sunset made the shadows of Xia De and the blue-eyed girl sway together:

"I am not a judge, nor am I a policeman. I don't have the power to judge others. I have always just been doing things that make me happy."

He took out the curtain he brought from the casino, twisted it into a rope, and used the "Living Rope Trick" to put the rope on the neck of the fainted man. The rope dragged him toward the tree, and finally hung him on the tree above the tombstone:

"After all, because of him, two people died."

Xia De blocked Little Mia's eyes with his fingers, ignoring the cat's little claws, and looked up at the body swaying a few times, and the living person soon became a dead person.

"Then, you have also completed the fourth task."

Miss Ilese also looked up at the corpse, and then sighed softly:

"Sunset, big tree, tombstone under the big tree, corpse on the big tree, this is a very good picture. I am quite good at oil painting, but I paint more portraits."

She and Xia De turned around and prepared to leave here along the stone path between the cemeteries:

"I know you care very much about the truth of the 'Radiant Messenger', so I will give you the last task now."

Xia De turned to look at the girl walking side by side with him:

"Please tell me."

She also turned to look at him at this time, her blue eyes filled with water. Xia De was very sure that he saw the lightless ocean in those eyes. Her tone was very solemn:

"Please save a little girl who could not have been born and has already died. No matter what, please save her."

Xia De then asked:

"Where is that girl now? Is she in front of me?"

"Meow~"

The cat complained about seeing Miss Ilese's hand, which was very impolitely pressed on Xia De's chest:

"She is not here, she is... in a very distant place that only you can reach."

Both of them stopped walking, and Xia De looked down at the hand on his chest:

"But regarding helping her, I still have some things I don't understand. For example... is that girl a ship or a dragon?"

The blue-eyed girl pursed her lips and looked at him closer and closer in the sunset.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xia De asked again:

"If you can't even give me this kind of help, then tell me, what can I get after completing these five tasks? Just historical data on the Radiant Messenger? Or, just that anchor ornament?"

"What do you want?"

She then asked, and the black long hair under the hat was still so beautiful against the sunset. Raxia and Dorothy had teased the topic of whether Xia De liked red hair or blonde hair more, but to be honest, Xia De actually liked both... but Tifa, Grace, Helen, and Miss Ilese, such black hair, he actually preferred it more.

【So, the girl you admire most in your heart is actually a black-haired, purple-eyed girl with cat ears and a big tail?】

Xia De did not answer this question of "her."

"I want a ship."

Xia De stared at those deep blue eyes and said, seeing the girl in front of him suddenly show a shy expression, he realized that he had said the wrong thing:

"No, no, sorry, I mean, I want to have a ship in the future, which can carry me to distant places."

The girl who had just turned her head looked at him again:

"My Lord - Giver of Dreams, will satisfy the dreams of children. Xia De Hamilton, your dream will also be satisfied after this test. May you and I both enjoy every dream."

She said Xia De's name, stretched out her other hand and wanted to touch Xia De's face, but was caught by Xia De's wrist. So Miss Ilese's right hand was pressed on Xia De's chest, and Xia De's left hand caught her left hand, and the two looked at each other in this sunset.

The cat did not disturb their act of trying to see each other's soul from each other's eyes, until an old woman leaning on a cane passed by on the stone path and whispered things like "young people now," "this is a cemetery," "promiscuous men and women," "actually disturbing the dead like this," Xia De took the initiative to let go of the girl's hand.

Miss Ilese smiled again, she straightened the wide-brimmed hat that had been tilted, and walked side by side with Xia De toward the cemetery entrance again:

"Have you helped many people?"

She asked, and Xia De, who was a little absent-minded, replied:

"Maybe, I won't specifically write down this kind of thing, as long as helping others can satisfy me, that's enough."

Her smile was still brilliant, so Xia De also asked:

"When will we meet next time? You said that every time you see me, you will tell me about this city, I still need your help."

"Next time? Please look forward to meeting by chance. Oh, this time I want to tell you a very important piece of news, but I also have requirements."

Confirming that they had walked out of the cemetery entrance and would no longer be considered disturbing the peace of the dead, she pointed to her side face:

"Can you kiss me?"

She actually didn't wear makeup, but just like this, the skin on her face was better-looking than any girl who wore makeup. The milk-white face, even with Xia De's eyesight, couldn't see the traces of pores, but he was not the kind of man who would kiss others casually.

"Left cheek."

"Can I consider this extortion?"

He hugged Little Mia on his shoulder and blocked it in front of him seriously—actually, this look was not serious at all:

"At least before I complete the last task, I won't do this."

Miss Ilese was not disappointed, still looking at him with a smile:

"You are still like this... Remember, you owe me two kisses on the left cheek."

Without giving Xia De a chance to ask why it was "two," she walked forward with her hands behind her back, and then looked at Xia De with her back to the sun:

"This piece of news is related to that cute little black cat.

It can have such a powerful soul, not just because of simple longing and obsession. There is some kind of power in the sewer that you didn't notice, making its soul become extraordinarily powerful. If it weren't for your appearance, that soul would sooner or later be eroded by power, so I said you gave it a ray of light."

The sunset only had the last part left below the horizon. Because she was facing away from the sun, her face seemed to be hidden in the shadows. Xia De couldn't see her expression at this time, only the pair of glowing blue eyes.

"Xia De, let's meet next time. Please be sure to complete the last task, be sure to save that lost little girl... Goodbye."

Her figure seemed to melt into the sunset light, disappearing completely. This was not an illusion, Xia De could clearly feel the power of space.

(Little Mia is running...)

"Can you answer me a question?"

A few hours later, at the dining table in the restaurant box at No. 18 Silver Cross Avenue, Tobesk, Xia De suddenly asked.

The red-haired duchess sitting next to Xia De naturally wouldn't refuse:

"What question? Since I came to your house to invite you out for dinner just now, you have been thinking about something. Are you in trouble?"

She looked at Xia De, with a concerned expression in her golden eyes.

Xia De shook his head:

"There is no trouble, I'm just very curious, do I have a constant charm spell on me? I met a girl in Moon Bay. Although I almost know who she is, I still can't understand her extraordinary affection for me."

The duchess pursed her lips and smiled, answering him while cutting the veal in front of her:

"At least for me, you do have a charm spell on you."

"Galina, I am asking very seriously."

"Okay, then... Tifa, has Xia De charmed you?"

She asked the black-haired maid who was standing by and serving the masters to eat. The maid with a good figure replied:

"Mr. Hamilton has been charming me."

Although the content of the speech was very embarrassing, the sentence came out of her mouth without any other emotions. The head maid, who would never lie to Miss Galina, answered the question loyally this time. The other maids in the box all smiled, so the witch continued to smile and said to Xia De:

"Look, you really have a charm spell on you."

"Okay, I know I don't, I'm just curious about Miss Ilese's attitude. Forget it, let's eat well first. After eating, I'll go back and flip through the information and use the time key. The adventure of the Lightless Sea should also end."

Saying that, Xia De also touched the cat that was lowering its head and eating.

And the beautiful red-haired witch asked with a smile again:

"Speaking of which, how is your resistance to charm spells? You drink that kind of essence as water, I think magic potions with similar effects should be ineffective for you, so how about charm spells?"

"I don't know, no one has used this kind of strange technique on me."

So Miss Galina became interested:

"Coincidentally, I know this kind of strange technique. Come, look into my eyes, let me try."

Xia De then looked up at her, and Xia De's appearance was immediately reflected in the golden eyes. Xia De looked at her eyes with a smile, and neither of them spoke for a while. He was not sure if the witch's strange technique had been used, because he didn't feel anything wrong with his spirit or soul.

Xia De didn't show any abnormality, but the witch who looked at him became more and more red, and finally she looked away first.

"What's wrong, are you uncomfortable?"

Xia De asked, and then was gently patted by the red-haired witch:

"Spell failed, I was backlashed by 【Love Spell】, and now I love you even more. You have to be responsible for me, I will stay at your house tonight."

The maids laughed softly, and Little Mia was still eating. Xia De smiled at the smiling golden eyes, and he also laughed. This was another little trick of the witch, but Xia De really liked it. ===== CHAPTER 2154 =====
