Hearing the words of the Evil Light Mage, all the villagers rushed towards Zhao Sen and Qin Ni, and they all said words of thanks, and some enthusiastic villagers held the hands of the two of them, and they had to invite the two of them to their home as guests

Looking at the enthusiastic villagers, Zhao Sen and Qin Ni had nothing to do at the moment, they had to say in unison: "It's nothing, this is what we should do."

It had been making noise for nearly an hour before the villagers gradually dispersed, and at this time, the evil light mage walked towards Zhao Sen and Qin Ni

"Dear adventurer, thank you for saving me and the villagers of Rutherford Village I have a relationship with these kind and simple villagers In the future, I have decided to settle in this Rutherford Village In the future, if you need any help, you can come here at any time to come to me If you are free, you are also welcome to come to Rutherford Village at any time," the Evil Light Mage bowed to Zhao Sen and Qin Ni after speaking, and then turned around and floated away

"This ...... What about the reward for the task "Looking at the back of the evil light mage gradually moving away, Zhao Sen was dumbfounded

"Isn't our mission yet complete?" Zhao Sen scratched the back of his head and muttered to himself in confusion

"It's okay, anyway, we've already done something meaningful, aren't we?" Qin Ni wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled

"Uh...... I still want the task reward......" Zhao Sen teased Qin Ni

"You......" Qin Ni smiled and stretched out her finger to poke Zhao Sen's forehead

The two laughed for a while, and Zhao Sen looked at the time on the control panel

"Qin Ni, let's go back to the city first," Zhao Sen said to Qin Ni

"Hmm" Qin Ni is still as well-behaved and obedient as ever

In Dragon Slayer City, it's still the same as usual, players should set up stalls, they should watch and watch, everything is so intimate and familiar

Looking at the person in front of you, I don't know why, when doing the "Death of Rutherford" task chain, Zhao Sen had a feeling that he couldn't say He himself didn't know whether this feeling was good or bad Anyway, he felt weird in his heart

After brushing the monster for a few hours, Zhao Sen finally couldn't help it

"Our "Rutherford's Fall" quest chain hasn't been completed yet, so why don't we go back for a while?"

Seeing Zhao Sen say this, Qin Ni nodded and said, "Okay."

The two of them directly pressed the teleport button to enter the hidden map

The white light condensed and the charming figures appeared at the entrance of Rutherford Village

When Zhao Sen and Qin Ni opened their eyes, they both felt a little wrong at the same time

"What's wrong with the sky here?" Qin Ni asked with a puzzled look up

I saw that in this small canyon where the village of Rutherford was located, the sky was gloomy, and the sky that had been sunny had become as dark as the hazy sky on the top of the cliff, and it was impossible to distinguish between morning and evening

"Maybe it's climate change, let's take a look at the village first," Zhao Sen took Qin Ni's hand, and the two slowly entered the village

The lively street in the village was deserted now, and Zhao Sen and Qin Ni occasionally saw one or two villagers, but when they saw Zhao Sen and Qin Ni, they immediately ran away like ghosts

The doors and windows of every house on both sides of the side street were closed, and there was an ominous smell throughout the village of Rutherford

"Let's go, let's go to Archibald's house first" Seeing this situation, Zhao Sen suddenly realized that the task chain was probably progressing, and he led Qin Ni towards Archibald's house in the east of the village

When Zhao Sen and Qin Ni came to the door of Archibald's courtyard, Archibald's family was cooking

Unlike other villagers, Archibald and his son and daughter-in-law immediately greeted Zhao Sen and Qin Ni with a smile on their faces

"It's you, hurry in and sit," Archibald enthusiastically took Zhao Sen's hand and let them into the courtyard, while his daughter-in-law pulled Qin Ni to the small wooden table in the courtyard and sat down

"Brother Zhushen, Sister Yini," said Juliet, who ran out of the house

"Juliet, brother has come to see you," Zhao Sen smiled and took out a bunch of candy from his backpack and stuffed it into Juliet's hand

"You came just in time, our meal will be ready soon, you are not allowed to go anywhere today, just stay at my house to eat," Archibald said to Zhao Sen happily touching his beard

"This ...... How embarrassing is it "Zhao Sen hurriedly excused himself

"That's it, I'll go get some good wine, Juliet, you go buy some bacon, come back, son, go and bring our new patriarch, and say that the two benefactors have arrived," Archibald instructed his son and daughter-in-law

"You drink tea here first, we'll be back soon, you must not leave," Archibald said to Zhao Sen, and hurriedly went out with the pot, and his son and daughter-in-law also went out

Now there are only Zhao Sen, Qin Ni and Juliet left in the small courtyard

"Juliet, are you happy with your parents?" Qin Ni asked her with a smile as she pulled Juliet to her side

"Happy," Juliet replied childishly

Looking at Juliet's innocent and cute appearance, Zhao Sen also leaned over Without waiting for him to speak to Juliet Juliet spoke first

"Brother Zhushen, Sister Yiyi, I'll get you something delicious," said Juliet, who jumped into the house

"This Juliet is really sensible," looking at Juliet's busy back in the house, Zhao Sen smiled and said to Qin Ni

"I'll go see what this little guy is doing" Qin Ni, who has always been a child, wanted to tease Juliet again

Qin Ni tiptoed towards the house Zhao Sen shook his head with a smile Pick up the teacup and drink it

At this moment, Qin Ni, who had just walked into the house, suddenly let out a scream

"Ahh

Zhao Sen was suddenly taken aback, he quickly put down the teacup, took three steps and made two steps, and rushed towards the house

Zhao Sen stepped into the house and saw Qin Ni covering her mouth with her hand and looking at Juliet next to the cupboard with a frightened expression

Following Qin Ni's gaze, Zhao Sen was also taken aback

I saw Juliet holding an earthen bowl in her hand, and the bowl was full of black maggots that were more than an inch long and wriggling

Juliet seemed to be oblivious to Zhao Sen and Qin Ni's reactions, and she took two steps closer to the two of them and picked up the earthen bowl in her hand

"Brother Zhushen, Sister Yiyi give"

At this moment, Zhao Sen was surprised to find that a black maggot had come out of Juliet's ear hole

This......

It is a typical symptom of being cursed

At this time, Juliet grinned, and her originally neat little white teeth turned into a mouthful of black and yellow mutilated rotten teeth A fishy breath spewed out of her mouth Zhao Sen and Qin Ni were nauseous when they smelled it

"What's going on, what's wrong with Juliet" Qin Ni was taken aback by Juliet's sudden change

"Don't worry about it so much, let's go out first" Zhao Sen took Qin Ni's hand and grabbed the door

When the two of them came to the small courtyard, the originally gloomy and gray sky suddenly became extremely dark, and layers of dark clouds gathered on the horizon, rolling towards the sky above Rutherford Village

"Ding" A crisp task prompt sounded, and Zhao Sen hurriedly clicked on his task panel to check

I saw that a new quest prompt finally appeared in the "Death of Rutherford" quest chain in the quest panel

"Honorable Demon Thief Curse God, Because you and your companion broke the seal of Zekaus's dragon skeleton without careful investigation, the village of West Rutherford, which was controlled by Zekaus, broke the seal and returned to the ground Curse in his body The villagers of West Rutherford, who have completely become Zekaus's minions, have brought a terrible curse to their relatives Now the whole village of Rutherford has become a hell on earth Women, children, old people, ignorant children, thousands of innocent villagers have been turned into walking corpses, all of this It all stems from your mistakes, and you are the ones who have created this tragedy...... Now the Rutherford Death quest chain is on red alert, and if you don't make the right move and trigger the next quest prompt, the quest chain will be judged a failure, and you will be severely punished by the system."

Seeing this, Zhao Sen and Qin Ni were dumbfounded

This...... How so

Zhao Sen and Qin Ni originally just wanted to reunite the separated villagers of Rutherford Village, but who knew that now it has become a good thing to do bad things The situation in Rutherford Village has become even worse

Then Juliet staggered out of the house, and her appearance returned to her normal appearance, but she had a lovely little face, and her face was very ugly, and it seemed that she had not been cursed for a long time, and the curse had not yet fully begun

"Brother Zhushen, I'm uncomfortable......" Juliet clung to her heart, looking at Zhao Sen and Qin Ni pitifully, tears rolling in her eyes

"Poof" Juliet, who couldn't hold it up, sat down on the ground, and a touch of red blood flowed down the corner of her mouth

"Brother Zhushen, what's wrong with me, wow......" Juliet, who was only 5 years old, was frightened by herself, she cried out as soon as she wowed, and a mouthful of blood sprayed to the ground, and then a blood bar appeared on the top of Juliet's head, and this small piece of blood had changed from bright red to a cursed green color, and the blood volume was still dropping rapidly

Looking at Juliet who was dying, Zhao Sen and Qin Ni's hearts were like knives Zhao Sen and Qin Ni didn't care if it was dangerous or not at the moment The two of them rushed to Juliet in a few steps Qin Ni even squatted down and hugged Juliet into her arms

"Juliet, you're fine, you'll be fine," Qin Ni had tears on her face, she waved the staff in her hand to dispel the healing spells, and brushed them on Juliet's body one after another

It's a pity that no matter how hard Qin Ni tries, Juliet's cursed state still hasn't eased, and her blood volume is also falling down one by one, seeing that her poor blood bar is about to bottom out

Looking at Juliet, whose faces were getting greener and greener, Zhao Sen and Qin Ni felt extremely guilty in their hearts

And all because they were careless, and if they had been a little more careful investigating the situation on the top of a cliff, they might have been able to avoid this tragedy
