Could it be that this devil is also bound by rules?
In this case, if I see him again in the future and he wants to be disadvantageous to me, can I use the rules to defeat him?
Just as she was thinking secretly, Dick heard footsteps at the door and a gust of fragrant wind passed by. Vanessa walked around Dick and fell in front of Lady Amara. He shook her body vigorously with both hands and shouted anxiously:
"Mother, mother, how are you?"
"It's okay." Dick replied in a deep voice, "I have killed the demon in her body. But if you continue to shake like this, your mother may be in trouble soon."
Vanessa stood up a little embarrassed, and then said, "Thank you, Master Dick. But now I have to settle my mother first..."
"It doesn't matter, you are busy first."
"Housekeeper, ask the soldiers to carry my mother to my room to rest.
"Let the maids clean this room, and... the soldiers, maids and cooks downstairs, and see if they wake up."
"Yes, miss."
Then the housekeeper issued orders in an orderly manner, and also directed several soldiers carrying Lady Amara's body.
"Slow down, don't hurt the lady."
After all these people walked out of the room, Dick and Vanessa walked out of the room one after another.
They leaned their arms on the railings in the circular corridor and looked down, seeing that the attendants who had fainted before in the hall on the first floor were all staggeringly waking up, with confused expressions on their faces.
Seeing this, Dick felt relieved: Fortunately, no innocent people were killed in this demon slaying commission.
Vanessa looked sideways at Dick: "Master Dick, thank you again. You haven't had a meal yet, have you?"
"Please have breakfast with me and then ask my butler to provide you with the commission money."
"That's fine." Dick nodded gently.
At this moment, he noticed a sparkling diamond necklace on Vanessa's neck, and couldn't help but be startled:
Why does this necklace feel strangely familiar?
Have I seen it somewhere?
But... always looking at certain parts of a woman can easily lead to misunderstanding.
He just glanced at it and then looked away.
After a while, Dick was satisfied with the delicious meal in front of him. He raised his head and saw Vanessa looking at him with a smile on the other side of the dining table. She had already finished her meal;
The chubby dwarf butler at the table looked at him with gratitude.
Dick couldn't bear the eager gazes of the two of them, so he changed the subject. "Vanessa, you knew my name was Dick the first time you saw me. Why is that?"
"Because..." Vanessa lowered his head slightly, and then said softly,
"Kebi is my lover, and we have made a lifelong commitment. Of course, my parents and Odin III have no objection to this matter;
"And Kebi once said that you were his best friend, and the two of you once dealt with a group of Drowner together."
Dick It suddenly dawned on him:
No wonder the necklace around Vanessa's neck looks familiar to me. Isn't it the same necklace that Kebi once gave to Xiya but Xiya rejected it?
I didn't expect this kid to know how to make the best use of everything.
Of course, Dick will not expose the little behavior of a good friend.
He smiled again and said:
"Indeed, I once killed a group of Drowner with Kebi. At that time, he was just a knight's retinue, but now he has become an official Order of the Falcon knight."
"Yes, Kebi is very powerful." Vanessa's face was full of admiration, with stars twinkling in his eyes, "He told me that he killed half of Drowner that time and even saved your life."
Dick kept a straight face and pressed the corners of his mouth, barely controlling his expression. "... Yes, Kebi is indeed very powerful."
Vanessa Hearing this, the pride on his face became even stronger, and he looked at the housekeeper again.
The butler took out the bulging money bag that he had prepared and handed it to Dick:
"Master Dick, this is your entrustment fee of 200 Kelang. Don't be too short. Please accept it."
Dick looked at Vanessa: "Since you are Kebi's lover, I won't accept this money... let's consider it as a meeting gift with you."
"How can this be done? Master Dick, one code is one code, it's not easy for you demon hunters, how can I let you work in vain?"
"Yes." The butler on the side continued to help,
"What the young lady said makes sense. Demon hunters originally live a life of licking the edge of a knife, and they just earn a little hard money.
"If you don't accept it, our lady will feel even more guilty, and when she wakes up, she will blame her for it."
"Okay then, I will reluctantly accept the money." Dick looked hesitant.
Then he quickly took action, grabbed the purse, and quickly put it into his pocket.
Seeing this, the two people looked satisfied.
Dick stretched hard again, making his spine creak.
After feeling comfortable all over, he said again, "Since the entrusted task has been completed, I should leave."
Vanessa looked a little confused when he heard this.
"What's wrong? Miss Vanessa."
"I just want to ask you to stay for a while. My mother hasn't woken up yet. I'm afraid... there will be another accident."
"Don't worry, I've got rid of the demon, but... I'm not in a hurry anyway, let's just go to your mother's room and guard her. I think she'll wake up soon."
"Thank you again, Master Dick." Vanessa stood up and bowed deeply for Dick.
"No need to be so polite. Just call me Dick from now on."
"Okay, Dick."
The three of them were in Vanessa's room, sitting on chairs at the bedside and waiting.
Not long after, there was movement from the bed.
Vanessa felt happy and quickly held Lady Amara's hand. "Mom, how are you?"
Lady Amara opened his eyes in confusion, as if he still hadn't recovered.
Then she said in a hoarse voice, "My sweetheart, I feel that all the bones in my body hurt. Why are you in my room? Oh, no..."
Lady Amara looked around, "This is your room, why am I in your room?"
"Don't you remember what happened in the past three days? Mother."
"These three days? Have three days passed already?
"I just remember that I entered the mine, went to comfort the miners with delicious food, and then everything went dark and I didn't know anything.
"Then I felt like I woke up again. In a daze, I felt like I could crawl upside down and walk on the ceiling."
Lady Amara was amused by his ridiculous statement, "But how is this possible?"
"Your limbs were twisted and you were crawling upside down on the ceiling like a spider. Now it's no wonder your bones don't hurt."
But Vanessa would not say these words. She was afraid that her mother who had just woken up would be frightened again. If her health deteriorated as a result, it would be terrible.
Seeing that her mother was fine, Vanessa felt a little relieved and spoke with concern:
"Mom, are you hungry now? Do you want to eat something?"
"I am indeed very hungry. Has it really been three days?"
"Yes, what do you want to eat? I'll let the cook do it." Vanessa said happily.
"I want to eat chicken."
