Xia Zuo and everyone stood outside the underground secret room, looking at the kerosene lamp hanging in the corridor flickering faintly and lightly, gently swaying under the influence of the breeze, and a little dazed.

It's over.,This commission.。

It was only two days after I arrived at this castle, and I didn't expect the commission to end like this.

We accepted a commission that we shouldn't have accepted: to be honest, if the whole truth had been told when the Saxophone Viscount had been commissioned, I don't think there would be a few Clara in the whole team willing to accept this commission.

This is natural, after all, Viscount Sachs is not doing a good thing: he is killing his own horse and killing people......

Speaking of which, now that the client is dead, I don't know if this commission is completed...... Eighty percent, don't count.

No matter what, there's no need to care too much, anyway, if you entrust more in the future, it's not bad for this one.

So.

Let's end it.

... ...

As time passed, the stars and moon gradually faded, as if the darkness that enveloped the whole world slowly dissipated, revealing a moving light, brighter and brighter.

The sun is about to rise.

Natsuzo crouched on the ground, resting with his back against the wall.

The others also found their own places to rest and wait.

Xia Zuo: They had been waiting outside all night.

No servants or guards of the castle came to disturb them during the night...... Maybe it was because of fear, or maybe it was because of the order given by Viscount Sax, in short, the castle was unusually quiet this night.

And this night, the little Hippogriff did not come out of the secret room.

But also, after all, all of a sudden, the father and mother are gone, let alone the little Hippogriff, and whoever encounters this kind of thing is probably uncomfortable.

Just as Xia Zuo yawned again, rubbed his eyes and was about to stand up, Xia Zuo heard a sound from the door of the secret room, the sound of heavy footsteps.

Xia Zuo looked over to the side of the secret room.

I saw that the little eagle walked out slowly with red eyes, and finally stopped in front of everyone, quietly looking at Xia Zuo and them.

Xia Zuo could feel that the soul quality on the little fippling eagle had obviously been greatly enhanced, and this was because of the death of the griffin.

The griffin is a phantom beast, that is, a soul creature, once it dies, the soul that makes up the body will begin to dissipate naturally, the longer the time, the more it will dissipate, if the griffin's body is not preserved in a special way for a long time, maybe the griffin's body will disappear completely with the passage of the soul, which is similar to the decay of the corpse of ordinary creatures after death, except that the bones of ordinary creatures can still be left after the corpse decays, but the soul creatures are not left at all: because even the bones are formed from the soul.

The separated souls of the griffon's body are often attracted to the nearest collection of souls, and if there is no collection nearby, they may also be lost elsewhere, and the closest collection of souls to the griffin at that time is the little Hippogriff.

Moreover, the soul quality of the little hippogriff is basically the same as that of the griffin, and the phase is very high, especially able to attract the soul lost from the griffin, so a large number of griffin's soul is transferred from the griffin to the little hippogriff.

This is probably the only thing the griffin can leave for the young Hippogriff.

I hope that the little Hippogriff with these powers can live a good life.

"'He' gone?" said Arnos, holding the young Hippogriff, "he" referring to the griffin.

“...... Well. The little Hippogriff nodded slowly.

"Father, he...... Let's go. The little Hippogriff whispered.

“...... Do you need our help to take 'his' body?" Arnos asked.

“...... Good. The little Hippogriff nodded slightly.

"I want to bury my father and mother together......"

Although the griffon's body may disappear naturally after a while, even if it is buried with Leah, it will not be long before Leah is left alone: the griffon's body turns into a fragment of soul and leaves.

But the little Hippogriff still believes that even so, the griffon's soul will remain there, and will always be there for Leah.

“...... I understand. Anos nodded slightly.

"Then we need to find something to remove the griffons?" asked Natsuzo.

"It's hard to carry a griffon's huge body. ”

"Go hire a carriage, though it is said that you will go to the wilderness of the plains of the Dessa, but if you spend a little more, the groom will always agree, after all, 'man dies for money, and birds die for food'. Fred smiled and said to Xia Zuo.

"Also, remember to wrap the griffin's carcass in a cloth later, otherwise it might scare the groom. ”

Xia Zuo nodded, and walked out of the castle.

Seeing this, Edith smiled and followed Xia Zuo out.

At this time, Xia Zuo suddenly reacted.

Wait, wait, why should I be hired?

Isn't that going to cost me money again...... Let the groom take the risk of driving them to the plains of Dessa, which is not a small amount, I wonder if I can reimburse the captain...... After all, Xia Zuo felt that although he was rich, money could not be spent so indiscriminately.

Wait, the things I prepared before I went to the Plains of Desa last time also cost a lot of gold coins, and most of those things are still in the Spatial Ring of Edith, and I haven't used them much and then came back from the Plains...... What a waste.

And now I'm not too embarrassed to ask Edith for it.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but support his forehead.

"Brother, what's wrong?" asked Edith, noticing the unusual demeanor of Xia Zuo, blinking her purple eyes slightly.

"Ah no, it's fine. Xia Zuo hurriedly responded to Edith.

Forget it, who called himself so proactive, the money will be spent, and sooner or later it will be earned.

Shazo and Edith quickly rushed to the streets near the castle.

Although yesterday's storm destroyed most of the castle and caused panic among the residents of the nearby area, now that the storm has long since dissipated, the direct impact of the storm on the nearby area is actually very small, so the residents are still out to work as usual.

Although it was still early, many people could still be seen on the streets at this time coming out to put up goods for sale, sometimes looking at Sachs's castle, sometimes whispering, speculating whether Viscount Saxe had done something bad and suffered a curse.

Xia Zuo soon found a relatively strong and bold groom here, and when he heard that he was going to the Desa Plain, the groom shook his head slightly, saying that it was too risky, and the benefits and risks were not proportional, but after Xia Zuo paid a high price of thirty silver coins, the groom hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Chazzo and Edith arrived at Sachs's castle with their grooms and carriages.

The griffon's carcass had already been wrapped in cloth and brought to the castle gates.

The groom was startled at first, thinking that it was the corpse of a dead man, but he was a little relieved by the explanation: after all, how could there be such a large corpse? This size looked almost bigger than a tiger.

Xia Zuo and the others worked together to lift the materialized griffin, and then put it in the carriage behind the carriage, and then squeezed into the carriage together.

So they went to the plain of Dessa.

As for the little hippogriff, the little hippogriff circled and flew in the sky, following closely behind the carriage.

... ...

Three days later.

Daytime, Clara, Baker District, Locke Street Detective Agency.

Xia Zuo sat in a chair, facing the table, writing something seriously.

If someone looked over at this time, they would find that Xia Zuo was writing a diary.

In the face of such a risky and exciting work, Xia Zuo felt that he needed to write a diary to record these things, lest he, a soul hunter, fail to hunt souls one day and unfortunately die, leaving nothing behind.

While other ordinary people might think that it was written by some delusional maniac and throw it away, it could also be picked up by some interested person and rewritten into a novel or play.

In that case, it feels pretty good.

I saw Xia Zuo write in his diary: Tianping Era, April 30, 343 calendar, Tuesday.

On this day, we finally completed this commission for griffins.

We moved the griffon's body to the plains of Desa and buried the griffin and Leah together.

... ...

Wednesday.

Although we successfully resolved the Griffin incident, it was still troublesome to deal with the aftermath, and we did not save Viscount Saxophone as the client, and Viscount's family and other nobles asked us to give them an account at the Night Veil.

But the Veil of Night will not yield to power.

We made public the truth of this commission, stating that Viscount Sachs deserved it and did not accept rebuttals from other nobles.

Some nobles were already aware of Viscount Saxe's anomaly, and their relationship with Viscount Saxe was not good, and they only denounced us for the safety and self-interest of the nobles, and they chose to withdraw after we made the truth public.

But there are still many nobles who refuse to accept it.

... ...

Thursday.

Fred was such a man of God.

I don't know if the Tanagus family behind Fred is really more influential or what's going on.

When Fred visited the stubborn nobles one by one, the nobles withdrew from the denunciation without even saying a word afterwards.

I can't guess what Fred did to these nobles when he came to the door, and how he borrowed the power of the family behind him to make them all quit without saying a word.

When I asked Fred curiously, Fred just said "secret~" and walked away, which made me cry and laugh, forget it, anyway, it would be good if the matter could be solved.

... ...

Friday.

I went to visit the Hippogriff today.

The baby Hippogriff lives in the Plains of Desa, where its father and mother are buried.

The little Hippogriff is now living very well, it has a strong hunting ability, and there is no shortage of food in the Desa Plain, a place where wild animals are infested, and it can live freely in this plain.

I hope that the little Hippogriff can always live like this.

Soar freely between the skies in the company of the souls of its parents.

... ...

Saturday

Today is not over yet, but the post-mortem of this commission is almost done......

Edith also said that she still had something she wanted to do, and that she needed to get away for a while, so it was quiet on my side.

Finally, I can feel at ease again.

In addition, to be honest, it really scared me a little to be denounced by so many nobles before.

Fortunately, there is no danger.

In addition, I hope that the reputation of our Night Veil will not fall because of this, and even if it has an impact, I hope it will not fall too much, otherwise I may have nothing to do as a "salted fish" again, and I won't be able to make any money...... The rent and daily necessities here are very expensive.

But...... Anyway, I feel like the harvest is pretty good.

I can now sense and control the power in my body more easily, I can feel my strength getting stronger and stronger, maybe one day, I can become a very good soul hunter, and then protect or help everyone.

Me...... I don't want to hurt anyone else because of my own mistakes.

So...... Come on, Natsuzo.

... ...

Xia Zuo finished writing, stopped writing, and then slowly closed the diary.

The event is over.
