Chapter 3373 Sad Story

The white-haired girl listened to Xia De's suggestion and nodded to express her understanding. She felt her mood improved suddenly. Xia De did not directly praise her talent, but just explained the facts. So her head, which was originally curled up in the collar, was slightly exposed to feel the cold wind on the path at the foot of the mountain.

Now it's still far from spring, but she can't feel the real chill of winter:

"So are you in a good relationship with other witch apprentices?"

She asked curiously again, so Tifa and Matilda's faces suddenly appeared in Xiade's head, and he tried his best to ensure that his expression did not change:

"I have a different relationship with different girls. I have the least relationship with Miss Aphrola and the best relationship with Tifa. When Galina visits my house, she often brings the maids to help clean up the house."

"That's why I think Miss Servet is the best of our generation's maids. She is perfect in any angle as an apprentice. I want to become a girl like her."

Miss Larson said enviously.

Although the corpse ghost was controlled, Xia De still didn't want to take it to the city, otherwise there would be more than one casualty if an accident occurred.

So before entering the city, he discussed with Miss Larson. After digging a hole, the two hid the ghoul outside the city. Xia De continued to use the [Moon Halo] to control it to be unable to move, while Miss Larson casts spells and uses the power of ice and snow to temporarily freeze it.

"Don't cast spells for now, wait a moment, I'll take this with me."

Xia De bent down and took off a metal button from the "corpse" in the pit. The button has a unique pattern, so it is very recognizable. And thanks to the corpse being sealed in ice for fifty years, the rust degree of the metal button is not obvious.

After packing up all this, they went to the city to have a meal. There was no accident during lunch. Miss Larson found a good street restaurant herself.

However, the newspaper where Shade was looking for a restaurant waiter to come to discuss the first round of consultations between the two delegations starting next week, and the corner of the local tabloid said that the warships docked at the docks of the two countries affected nearby fishermen going out to sea to catch fish.

"I didn't expect that small cities like Shiluncheng also have their own city newspapers."

Xia De said, and then he saw that the advertising area of ​​the newspaper was full of advertisements for various watch brands. This was not for locals, but for foreign merchants.

"Miss Shivi Aphrola will lead the family's fleet next week on the grounds of helping the warships of both countries."

Miss Larson, sitting opposite the table, said, Xia De nodded, thinking that the boat girl would definitely come over at that time. But I don’t know what changes will happen to the Glory Messenger in two months after the Battle of the Woodlands.

In winter, except for fish, most meat on the island needs to be purchased from cities along the coast of the Flying Star Bay, so the price is relatively high and there are not many types. The restaurant that Miss Larson found is famous for its specialty in chicken dishes, and both Shade and Mia feel that the taste is very good.

After lunch, the two of them went to search for the old lady Miranda Otto according to the address given by Mrs. Reinhardt. At first, Shade was worried that the old man had actually passed away, or that she was not on the island for the time being, or that she had to take care of her nephew had actually given up on her.

Fortunately, they were very lucky this time. At 1:30 p.m., they knocked on the door of 5 Lewis Avenue in the eastern part of Shilun City. After explaining the purpose of the maid and getting permission, they met Mrs. Miranda Otto in a wheelchair in the living room.

She looked quite old, with silver hair and wrinkles on her face, and the age spots on her neck and back of her hands were quite obvious. She and Miss Larson, who had a sensitive sense of smell, could smell the twilight smell of life that was about to come to an end.

Xia De didn't want to say that it was a stinking smell, but he could see that the old lady probably couldn't live for too long.

"We found out from the neighbors of Kyle Todd, where Mrs. Otto originally lived. What's wrong with Mrs. Otto's legs?"

After sitting down, Shade asked hesitantly. In the information given by Mrs. Reinhardt, the old woman could occasionally go out to bask in the sun with a cane.

"I'm old and can't walk."

The old woman with a blanket on her legs smiled and said, looking pretty good in the afternoon.

In addition to her and the servant, because today is Sunday, her nephew is also at home, but her nephew's wife went out with the children.

Mr. Mayer, who looked in his forties, heard that someone was looking for his aunt and he also accompanied him. He was a businessman and knew how to look at people. After observing Xia De, the two people who came to visit, they saw that Xia De's origin was very unusual.

"This time I came to disturb you for an old past. It was a coincidence that this incident was. Mrs. Otto, please see if you know this first?"

Xia De handed over the button wrapped in the handkerchief. The old man's eyes were already blurred, and he specifically asked the servant to get the reading glasses. But while the servant hurried to get the glasses, her fingers rubbed the pattern on the surface of the button, and suddenly her eyes turned red.

She didn't care about glasses, and put the button in front of her and observed it carefully, then asked the young people who came to visit her calmly:

"You found him, have you?"

Seeing her expression, Miss Larson sighed in her heart, and this was another tragedy. Xia De nodded:

"But we are not completely sure that is the person you are waiting for. Although it is cruel to say this, are you going to see him?"

The old woman was holding the armrest of the wheelchair and exerting force. Xia De even felt that for a moment she was about to stand up suddenly:

"Where is he?"

When he entered the city just now, Shade discussed with Miss Larson where to let the old woman see Mr. Otto.

It is not possible in a small town or in a city. Xia De would not allow such dangerous things to appear in human settlements. It is not possible in the woods outside the city. After all, Mr. Otto disappeared in the snow-capped mountains. If the body was outside the city, the old man might not believe it.

Therefore, Miss Larson helped Schad choose a cliff location near the foot of the town of Kyle Todd, which is not far or near to the town, but even ordinary people can reach it by walking.

Although Mrs. Otto had never been there, she understood the general location after listening to Xia De's description.

"Aunt, who are you talking about?"

Mr. Mayer, who was standing beside him, didn't understand. The old lady looked at the one lying in her palm with red eyes, the buttons she had sewn on her clothes with her own hands:

"Your uncle."

She had already made up for the fact that what she was going to see was the corpse, after all, half a century had passed.

"ah?"

The businessman was stunned, and Old Mrs. Otto no longer wanted to wait:

"Can you take me to see him now?"

She asked Xia De, and Xia De nodded:

"Yes, because the snowy mountains are cold and buried in the snow all year round, Mr. Otto's has not completely turned into bones."

"Okay, I'll set out now and go now."

Mr. Meyer, who finally figured out what they were talking about, certainly didn't want his elderly aunt to run to the cliff at the foot of the mountain. It's winter now, and the mountain road is not easy to walk on, but the old man insisted on doing so.

He couldn't tell his aunt, and wanted to persuade Xia De to help get the body directly, but Xia De shook his head:

"I am not a professional corpse transporter, and now the city is carrying out major events that affect the situation in the old continent. If the police find me pulling a body into the city, I will cause big trouble."

In the end, the troubled businessman had to agree to let his aunt see the body, but he needed some time to prepare for the old man's trip. Originally, Mrs. Otto wanted to leave immediately, but this time Miss Larson kindly persuaded her:

"This should be the last time we meet, you should dress up and see him."

“Yes, yes.”

The old man with red eyes actually laughed out loud:

"It's been fifty-six years, and I'm finally waiting for him to come back. I need to dress up."

Looking at her expression at the moment, everyone present was in a heavy mood.

Shade and Miss Larson did not wait here, but agreed with Mr. Mayer and the others to meet outside Kyle Todd. When Mr. Mayer tentatively said that he wanted to bring some escorts, he was a little worried that the two young men wanted to trick him into kidnapping him outside the city, Shade nodded indifferently:

"Okay, although there should be no beasts in the mountains this season, safety comes first after all."

Anyway, everyone except the old lady will fall asleep at that time, so it doesn’t matter how many people he brings.

After arguing for a few hours, Shade and Miss Larson left here. After driving outside the city, they put the ghoul back in the carriage, and the two set off and returned to Kyle Todd Town.

The white-haired girl is in a bad mood:

"Have you seen a lot of this kind of thing, Mr. Watson?"

"It is not possible to get it, to be born at the wrong time, to meet it but not to be destined. Although this kind of thing cannot be said to be very common, it will indeed make people feel depressed. But in a good direction, at least Mrs. Otto met you who was kind before her death, so she could get the last chance to meet."

"Mr. Watson, you don't have to praise me. I wonder if Mrs. Otto's mental state will she die immediately after she meets Mr. Otto?"

"It's very likely that, after all, the biggest regret in life is coming true. Do you think we should let them meet?"

The white-haired girl pursed her lips and didn't speak, but just approached Xia De, who was driving:

"You know I can't give an answer, so what do you think?"

"Xiao Mia and I were hired by you for a meal, and we all listen to you."

Xia De said in response to the cat sleeping in the inner pocket of his chest.

"Bad mind."

The white-haired girl whispered, looking sideways at the scenery at the foot of the snow-capped mountain under the blue sky beside the road. After a long time, she suddenly smiled:
