Chapter 2197 Contradictory Commission

Shade doubted that little Mia understood the word "cat" spoken by Miss Elisa because it struggled even more.

"That black cat, then Miss Elise, the reason why you appear here now is..."

Before he finished asking the question, Shade felt that the silver anchor in his pocket was heating up, and the blue-eyed girl continued walking with him towards the depths of the cemetery:

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

Miss Eleser didn't say where she was going, so Shade led the way, and according to the location recorded on the note, she found the grave of Mr. Harry Gilot who was killed in the Lord's Casino.

It is said to be a tomb, but it is actually in the tomb in the underground area of ​​the cemetery. There is a wall space of its own for placing the urn. Because the burial was funded by the church for humanitarian purposes, the specifications of the urn are quite simple. The inscription on the side

It simply marked the name and date of birth and death.

But at least there are two bunches of withered white jasmine flowers next to the urn. It seems that even the criminals still get the respect that the deceased deserves.

The underground crypt was extremely cold, but neither Shade nor Miss Elise showed any discomfort. Shade certainly did not expect to find the possible Rhodes card under the urn, even if the card was on Mr. Gilot at the time.

It had also been taken away by someone else a long time ago.

He originally wanted to ask a psychic question, but he did not master the high-end technology of channeling ashes. Fortunately, the soul of the dead businessman was here. When Shade and Miss Elisa came to the tomb, Harry

·Gilot's soul stood expressionlessly in front of the wall filled with urns. After little Mia "roared" at him, the soul looked at the two of them.

It was not the first time that Shade knew that little Mia could see ghosts, so he was not surprised. He just looked at the ghost, and after looking at the ghost, the latter understood that he had met the legendary

Extraordinary.

The ghosts seemed to still retain a high level of intelligence, and after a brief consideration, they knew why they were here:

"Are you here to find the Holy Sword?"

"Holy Sword?"

Shade was surprised and thought of the chosen ceremony for the first time, but he thought too much this time.

"[Holy Sword·Dragon Slayer's Sword]."

The ghost said calmly:

"No one knows where it is except me. Do one thing for me and I will tell you where I hid it before I died."

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

Shade said this. He did not just agree to such a request just because Miss Eleser was around. Shade 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, finish what I didn't finish during my lifetime. You don't need to investigate. The casino I broke into before my death was the real culprit behind it. Find the person who killed my son and bring him to me."

He did not doubt Shade's ability to force him to speak:

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

"Because I'm a good person, so I want to help you?"

"No. [Holy Sword: Dragon Slayer Sword] was buried in front of my son's tombstone. I left it there before making the final decision. I dug out the iron box and found that card in the box. I

There are no other children, and I know that my last action will most likely lead to death, so I sold my property and bought his favorite things to give to him. Now that card belongs to you, do you want to help me?"

Although wisdom remains, the soul speaks in a flat tone.

Shade smiled:

"Because I am a good person, you just gave me the reward first and made sure that I would do the work after receiving the reward, right?"

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

The tobacco merchant replied, Shade looked at the girl aside, Miss Elisa still had a smiling expression:

"This is your business. It has nothing to do with me. Please handle it yourself."

Shade did not tell the tobacco merchant whether he would help, but returned to the ground with Miss Elisa. Mr. Harry Gilot's son was also buried in this cemetery, but because he was killed by Gilot,

The husband arranged the funeral, so there is a separate grave.

After sneaking into the cemetery chapel to find information, Shade and Miss Elise found the grave with a beautiful view under the tree in the southeast corner of the cemetery. There were not many people in the cemetery on Friday afternoon, and Shade didn't even use it.

Using an illusion, he just squatted down and dug twice with a small shovel, and he really dug out the iron box that was not buried very deep.

It was obviously originally a biscuit box, and after opening the box, there was actually a Rhodes card inside, but unfortunately there was only one. On the card was a giant dragon that had fallen into the valley, and on the dragon's head was

With a long sword stuck in it:

[Holy Sword·Dragon Slayer's Sword], suit color: Flower 13. When you draw this card, guess the suit of the next card in the deck. If the guess is correct, you can add the points of this card to the next card and this card.

Choose one of the two cards to adjust. The next card is removed from the deck.

"Is it authentic?"

【Yes.】

"She" said softly, while Miss Elisa beside her asked curiously;

"Is this card valuable?"

Shade immediately nodded, stood in front of the tombstone, and gently rubbed the card with his fingers:

"The older the Rhodes cards are, the more valuable they are. The original Rhodes cards were from the [Original] series, and their value cannot even be described in terms of money. When the Rhodes cards were first released, the theme of the series was not like

Nowadays, we choose fairy tales, urban stories, machinery, and scenery that are closer to life. Most of the Rhodes cards in the earliest era are related to older legends. The Demon series, the Holy Sword series, and the Angel series were all released in that era."

"Yes, for people who don't know about Rhodes cards, the price of 20 crowns is certainly high, but if you consider that this card only appears in the records of the Prophet Association, but has never been seen by anyone for hundreds of years.

When the cards are put up for auction, I think the price will be higher. The money my father spent is well worth it, and I will support him even if I am still alive."

Shade then looked at the young man who was speaking, or rather the young man's soul. Little Mr. Guillot stood next to his tombstone, looking at Shade with some envy as he held the card. He knew very well that he was dead.

, can't even touch this kind of physical object, so there is not much hatred and resentment because Shade took away this card:

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

"Yes, your father is not far from our feet. Why don't you go and see him?"

Shade asked the young man, who was emaciated and only 16 years old at the time of his death.

Little Mr. Gilot shook his head regretfully:

"I'm bound here, unable to move within 5 feet of my body. This is his reward for you, so Father wants you to take revenge?"

Shade glanced at Miss Elise again. She was still standing there with a smile and said nothing. If Mr. Gilot just now and Mr. Gilot now were looking at her, Shade would even think,

She is a phantom that only she and little Mia can see:

"Yes, yes. Although I am still a warm-hearted person, I am more inclined to help the living than to avenge the dead. But your father is very wise, and he gave this to me directly."

Shade shook the priceless divination card in his hand:

"If I take other people's things, I have to do things for them if I have time, unless I don't want to do it."

This is of course impossible. Even Shade is not sure how long it will be before he encounters the special cards of the [Holy Sword] series next time. The [Demon] is as old as the [Holy Sword] series, and he has not yet seen it so far.

I just got one [Demon Soul Stealer Bishop] from the demon scholar Sean Asmon.

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

Shade asked the thin soul, who nodded. Although he was close at hand, his voice sounded like an echo to Shade:

"Father wants to personally avenge me, but please don't do it. I have become what I am now."

He looked at his transparent hands:

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

"Yes, especially your father will not simply kill someone."

Shade agreed with him, so Mr. Gilott continued to request:

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

"So your father used this card to hire me, and you are going to use this card to stop your father from hiring me?"

Shade asked, but not demanding an answer:

"This is really a contradiction. It is impossible for me to fulfill these two requirements at the same time. But you are lucky, there is something more precious than this card here."

He turned to Miss Elise and asked:

"Then the fourth task I have to complete is to handle this matter smoothly?"

The blue-eyed girl smiled and responded:

"Yes, there is no specific mission goal, as long as the results of the processing satisfy me."

Shade nodded to express understanding, then looked up at the sun in the sky:

"It's not too early. Now go to the city to find the murderer and pretend to be a detective. Well, I am a detective. I will pretend to be a detective and then kidnap someone. It's too late. I originally planned to do it tonight."

He then asked the soul in front of him:

"As for the murderer who murdered you, I think you should have some guesses in your mind. No matter whether we will send the murderer to your father or not, at least you will not mind and let us help you get revenge."
