Chapter 152 Wake Up

Will this devil be 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 he 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, shaking her body 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 might 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 have to do your work first."

“Housekeeper, ask the soldiers to carry my mother to my room to rest.

"Let those 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 who were carrying Mrs. Amala's body.

"Slow down, don't hurt Madam."

After these people all walked out of the room, Dick and Vanessa walked out of the room one after another.

They leaned their arms against the railings in the circular corridor and looked down. They saw 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-killing 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 lightly.

At this moment, he noticed a sparkling diamond necklace around 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 misunderstandings.

He just glanced at it and then looked away.

…

After a moment, Dick satisfied himself and wiped out all the delicious food in front of him, raised his head, and saw Vanessa looking at him with a smile across 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 on 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 her head slightly, and then said softly,

"Kebi is my lover, and we have made a lifelong commitment. Of course, my parents and Odin III did not object to this matter;

"And Kebi once said that you were his best friend, and the two of you once fought against a group of water ghosts together."

Dick suddenly realized:

No wonder the necklace around Vanessa's neck looks familiar to her. Isn't it the same necklace that Kebi gave to Sia but Sia rejected it?

I didn’t expect this kid to know how to make the best use of everything.

Of course, Dick would not expose the little behavior of his best friend.

He smiled again and said:

"Indeed, I once killed a group of water ghosts with Kebi. At that time, he was just a knight's retinue, but now he has become an official knight of the Falcon Knights."

"Yes, Kebi is very powerful." Vanessa's face was full of admiration, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes. "He told me that he killed half of the water ghosts that time and even saved yours. It’s fate.”

Dick kept a straight face and suppressed the corners of his mouth, barely controlling his expression: "...Yes, Kebi is indeed very powerful."

When Vanessa heard this, the pride on her face became even stronger, and she 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 commission fee of 200 crowns. Don't be too little. Please accept it."

Dick looked at Vanessa: "Since you are Kebi's lover, I won't accept the money... let's consider it as a meeting gift with you."

"How can this be done? Master Dick, one code is another code, and it is 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 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'll 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: "Now that the entrusted task has been completed, I should leave."

Vanessa looked a little tangled when she 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.

"Don't 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 head of the bed and waiting.

Not long after, there was a noise on the bed.

Vanessa was delighted and quickly held Mrs. Amara's hand tightly: "Mother, how are you?"

Mrs. Amara opened her eyes in confusion, and seemed to have not recovered yet.

Then she said in a hoarse voice: "My sweetheart, I feel a little pain in my bones. Why are you in my room? Oh, no..."

Mrs. 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?

"I just remember that I entered the mine and comforted the miners with delicious food, and then my eyes went black and I didn't know anything.

"Then I felt like I woke up again, and in a trance, I felt like I could actually crawl upside down on the ceiling and walk."

Mrs. Amara was amused by her own absurd statement, "But how is this possible?"

"Your limbs were twisted before, crawling upside down on the ceiling like a spider. It would be strange if your bones don't hurt now."

But Vanessa would not say this out loud. She was afraid that her mother, who had just woken up, would be frightened again. If her body deteriorated, it would be bad.

Seeing that her mother was fine, Vanessa felt relieved and spoke with concern:

"Then mother, are you hungry now? Do you want to eat something?"

"I am really hungry. Has it really been three days?"

"Yes, what do you want to eat? I'll ask the cook to make it." Vanessa said happily.

"I want to eat chicken."
