Fairy Tail: The Nameless Grim Reaper

Chapter 85: howler of despair

As night fell, it took Achill a whole day to finally arrive at Walker City. In fact, if he hadn't slept so much during the period that he had sat through more than N stations, he should have arrived long ago! Don't waste so much time in vain~

"Should it be here?" Standing in front of a gate at the end of the alley, looking at the dilapidated gate in front of him, Aqier couldn't help muttering to himself, "It must be a dilapidated small clinic! How could it come out?" Can it afford the price of 400,000 J? Or is that so-called relic really important to that guy?"

With doubts, Achill reached out and knocked lightly on the door twice, and shouted: "Is there anyone?? I am a wizard who has received a commission!"

"Come here." A gentle middle-aged voice came from the house, followed by a rush of footsteps, and with a light creak, the door was opened from the inside.

"May I ask who you are?" Hypnos looked at Achill standing in front of the door with a gentle face, and asked kindly.

"My name is Achill! You are the employer who issued the request for finding the lost property, Mr. Hypnos Pryor, right?" After a brief self-introduction, Achill took out the request Shan showed it to Hypnos, and after seeing Hypnos nodded, he said his intention of coming, "In order to help you get back your wife's belongings faster, I want you to explain more specifically. Tell me about the characteristics of this pendant! And by the way, explain to me the approximate possible location of the loss, so that I can better search for it..."

"Okay, this Mr. Achill, please come inside quickly." Hearing this, knowing that the other party was a mage who came to help him find his wife's belongings, Hypnos immediately invited Achill into the room with a look of eagerness. .

After bringing Achill to the back room, Hypnos first politely let him sit on the sofa, then made a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Achill humbly.

In this regard, Achill was not polite, he sat down on the sofa, picked up the teacup and drank.

After drinking two sips of tea, seeing the gentle uncle sitting in front of him, looking at him with a hesitant expression, Archer suddenly said lightly: "Mr. Hypnos, the relic of your deceased wife, that is, the commission I don’t know if there are any very specific characteristics of the silver pendant specified on the list? After all, there are too many silver pendants of the same style in the world. Even if you know the scope of the search, if there are no very specific characteristics , that is also difficult to find.”

"That pendant is indeed the same as what Mr. Archer said. It is so common. In Walker City alone, you can probably find thousands of the same pendant." Hypnos sighed after a wry smile. "However, because it was a token of love that my wife gave me back then, I have always kept it very well. After my wife left, I even kept it as the most precious relic!"

Hearing this, Achill nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue,

"Ten years ago, that is, the year my wife left, I ordered someone to order an extremely strong safe. Even ordinary magicians might not be able to open that safe! And I, just I stored the pendant in that safe, and kept the safe in a very hidden place at home." Speaking of this, Hypnos smiled bitterly, and then said helplessly, "But, just Three days ago, when I went out to buy food, my house was suddenly burglarized, and there were many other things, but the safe, which I hid very secretly, unexpectedly disappeared..."

"Okay..." Speechlessly glanced at the kind old man in front of him, Achill really couldn't say anything about him. You said you made such a big safe and hid it in a hidden place on purpose. Isn't that true? Do you want to seduce other thieves? ! No wonder the thief didn't steal your other things. One may be because he probably can't get so much after moving the safe, so that's why it happened. The other may be because your safe shocked the thief! The thief thought you put all the valuable things in it, so naturally they don't bother to steal other things~

But you are fine! It's just a cheap pendant inside~ Maybe this pendant is very meaningful and priceless to you, but it's a tragedy for other thieves! You let thieves work so hard and risk being caught and sentenced, and then you stole such a pain in the ass! I guess people want to kill you already...

It's not easy being a thief~ Achill couldn't help feeling a few words in his heart, and by the way, silently mourned for the unfortunate thief for three seconds.

Of course, although the thoughts in his heart were weird, on the surface, Achill was still calm.

"In other words, it's been three days..." After listening to Hypnos' narration, Achill rubbed his temples with a headache. He felt that the task this time was getting more and more difficult. It is not what he is good at. He does not have the detective talent of Conan or Sherlock Holmes. In terms of magic, his dress-up magic and extreme magic are obviously not suitable for solving cases and tracking, so this is really troublesome. Accepting the task but not knowing how to start it made Achill feel very headache. Of course, it was also the first time that he hated the existence of thieves so much like today!

"My wife's name is engraved on the back of the pendant, and the words inside..." At this point, the gentle expression on Hypnos's face that has never changed all the year round suddenly became extremely painful. He lowered his head and strained his hands. Grabbing her hair, she said in a hoarse voice, "There are also magical images of my dead daughter and her mother!"

"What?!" Archer was taken aback when he heard this! Eyes involuntarily glanced at the photo frame on the table, and saw that in the family photo, a cute little girl who looked about three or four years old was being held in the arms of Hypnos in front of him, with a smile on her face. There was still an innocent sweet smile, and a beautiful young woman next to her smiled and held the girl's little hand lightly.

"That's my daughter..." At this moment, Hypnos seemed to notice Achill's eyes on the photo frame, and said hoarsely, "The one next to me is my wife..."

It seems that this is also a person with a story... I sighed slightly in my heart, even though I have never heard of this Hypnos, Aqier can roughly infer that this must be another unbearable story. What happened in the past...

Perhaps it is because of the relationship between the same tragic experience (Jeral's betrayal as a child, and the death of both parents in Achille's memory), or maybe it is because of the unique resonance between grieving people, Achille can't help but be amazed by what is happening before him. People feel a little bit of sympathy.

"In other words, it must have been stolen by a thief, right..." After a moment of silence, after making up his mind, Achill stood up slowly, stroked the long knife at his waist, and said indifferently, "Do I It can be understood that as long as all the thieves in Walker City are wiped out, then a little clue can be found..."

"You, you, you, you said that you want to catch all the thieves in Walker City?!" Looking at the indifferent Achill in front of him in astonishment, Hypnos couldn't help but stuttered, " I, I heard right?! Do you know how many thieves there are in Walker City?? You want to catch them all?! This, this—”

"What's so good about it, it's just some small thieves..." Aqier said lightly, "If I make a move, no matter how many there are, it's just a cloud..."

"..." After being silent for a while, Hypnos suddenly said, "We are willing to spend such a great price and effort! Are you just doing this to help me find my wife's belongings?!"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Hearing this, Aqier first asked him a question, and then said indifferently, "As an independent mage, it is the most basic thing to do your best to fulfill the employer's entrustment! Although I don't understand-"

"There is such a powerful force hidden in your body, but why don't you use it to retrieve your wife's relics, but choose to let the wizards of the guild help you find it, but..." Staring at The eyes of Hypnos~www.readwn.com~Achille said calmly and indifferently, "All of this has nothing to do with me, but since I have accepted the commission, the only thing I have to do is to help you find the lost The relics of it will do, that's all..."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, leaving only Hypnos behind him staring blankly at his leaving back with a stunned expression.

"There are some things that you want to cherish only when you lose them completely..." Walking to the table, gently stroking the face of the beautiful young woman in the photo frame, Hypnos muttered to himself, "Of course I promised you." , never use this kind of power again, obviously everything has been agreed, we want to go on together, but..." A line of blood and tears flowed slowly from the corner of his eyes, and fell on the photo frame with a tick.

"You have left me without love!! You have left me without love!!" With his fingers deeply stuck into the wooden desk, Hypnos roared like crazy, and a pure black storm of terrifying magic power suddenly emerged from the It exploded from him! In an instant, the entire room was swept away!

Only the mournful howl full of despair and unwillingness to suffer, resounded low and deep throughout the room—

"The gate of Hades!!!"

"Sure enough..." Leaning on a certain high tower in the city, feeling the depressive magic that suddenly erupted in the night, looking up at the deep starry sky, Achill murmured softly as if talking to himself, "Still What a man with a story, or…”

"The strong..."

In a blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the night sky.
