With Xia You's words, the mayor's expression became more and more shocked, and after a moment, he knelt on the ground weakly.

The whole book is mostly about demonic beliefs, and it mentions a ritual that requires the sacrifice of a living person, and the sacrifice can increase the power of the user.

The prompt for the completion of the mission still hasn't come, and there is something you haven't asked?

How does the system judge the task, and it already knows the result?

[Based on the information collected, the system can infer the subsequent situation]

So just tell me no?

[The result is useless, what is needed to parse the world is the action of the player]

I see.

Xia You looked at the mayor at the bottom of the pit: "You still have something to hide from me, tell me honestly." ”

The mayor smiled wryly, his lips moved twice, then closed again, and only then did he say when Xia You pinched his knuckles:

"The book was given to me by one person, and I joined the Demon Church."

"Who gave it to you?" Xia You continued to ask.

"yes—"

“？？？”

When it comes to what to call halfway, do you think you're a husky!

Soon, Xia You discovered that the mayor's cry was not a language, but a wail, and the black fighting qi on his body slowly turned into black flames, and the flames burned his body.

"Fake, it's fake in that book!" After leaving such a last word, the mayor of the town was reduced to ashes.

A gust of wind blew, and the ashes drifted away with the wind, leaving only a hole in its place.

At the same time, the book in Xia You's hand also burned, and the flames touched his palm, leaving no damage, but the book turned into black ashes.

The flames burned so fast that Xia You didn't have time to find a way to extinguish the fire.

Shaking off the ash in his hand, Xia You sighed.

Magic, it's annoying.

Wait for the system store to come out, buy an attribute card, and find a way to learn magic yourself.

【Mission Accomplished】

[Trigger a C-rank quest to solve the mastermind behind the Book of Demons and reward [C-rank Gacha Ticket*1], [Token*1000]]

Serial quests? But there are no clues at all, it's a bit difficult!

With his hand on the ground, Natsuyu uses the [Gate of Truth] to fill in the pit. He glanced out the window, where a dozen or so villagers were pointing at his house from a distance.

The villagers were attracted passively, and if they could clearly distinguish that the shaking of the earth was coming from Xia You's house, they would have thought it was an earthquake.

Because of Xia You's movements, half of the houses in the nearby two houses collapsed.

Fortunately, Xia You used the [Gate of Truth] to strengthen his house.

After going out and compensating the villagers for the loss with a few silver coins, and driving them away, Xia You returned home and opened the door of the inner room.

Yuna sat honestly on the edge of the bed, and there was some worry in her eyes:

"Dad, are you alright?"

"It's fine." Xia You waved his hand.

The girl bit her lip.

"Don't worry, it's really okay, your dad and I are very strong!" Touching the girl's hair, Xia You said, "But in order to prevent danger, you don't want to be separated from me recently." ”

Normally, as long as she touched the girl's head, the girl's mood would rise slightly, but now Yuna still lowered her head:

"It's all my fault." The girl said.

"It's none of your business, that man is here to look for trouble, if Yuna hadn't kicked him down, it would have been even more troublesome."

comforted the girl, Xia You felt a little heartache, this kind of thing shouldn't be shown in front of the child.

It's a pity that he doesn't know magic, and with the magic of magic, things can be made much easier, and he doesn't have to take the girl with him to protect him.

……

……

A month later, the town, in the toy store.

Bella handed the new golden mouse toy on the cabinet to the child in front of her, and turned her head to look at the door of the shop, where there was a wooden chaise longue, on which a teenager was lying, and a girl was lying on the boy's body.

That's Natsuyu and Yuna.

With a slight strain in his waist, Xia You controlled the recliner to shake.

Lying on the recliner leisurely, basking in the sun, touching Lori, life in another world is so beautiful.

However, his leisurely pace was quickly broken, and the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and finally stopped beside Xia You.

When he opened his eyes, Xia You saw two horses, and there were two people sitting at once.

One was the mayor's daughter, a red-haired female guard, and the other was a blond-haired, well-faced man wearing silver full-body armor with a large sword hanging from his waist.

The man dismounted from his horse, his armor rattling with metal.

Yuna, who was lying on Xia You's body, raised her head and glanced at the man, with timidity in her eyes, she rolled over and ran into the store.

Xia You glanced at the man dissatisfied, blaming him for scaring away his Lori.

"This is the knight of the Holy See......" The red-haired female guard walked over and explained to Xia You.

They had come to investigate the mayor's disappearance, and after a few brief questions, they got on their horses and left.

They didn't think Xia You was suspicious, because killing the mayor didn't do him any good, especially if the mayor wanted to marry his daughter to him.

The truth is always buried under the impossible.

Xia You also hopes that they may find out something, and it is best to help themselves find out who is behind the scenes. Xia You has been looking for a month, but still has no clue.

There was no Lori on his body, Xia You gave up and continued to lie down, and he entered the store.

"Subaru, there's a commission." Bella stopped him.

"Delegate?" Xia You wondered, who would give him the commission?

"It's a carpenter's commission." Bella pulled out a piece of paper and gave it to him.

A carpentry commission? Has anyone finally discovered their identity as an artist?

What does it do? Wooden cattle and horses?

Spreading out the paper, Xia You saw a design drawing with detailed data, and scanned the drawing, his expression froze.

"What does this do? Decorations? Bella leaned over to Xia You's side, "The surface should be very smooth, the shape should be rough, isn't it just a small wooden pillar!" ”

Turning his head, Xia You looked at Bella.

"See what I'm doing?" The girl panicked, and she straightened her hair.

"Don't you recognize what this is?" Xia You pointed to the drawing.

"Put it on the table as an ornament?"

"In a way, there's nothing wrong with it, you don't have to grind the corners of the table."

"Huh?" Bella was even more confused.

Dropping the drawings, Xia You rubbed his forehead, he didn't expect that someone would entrust him to make such a thing.

"You push it, you won't accept custom items in the future."

"But there is a lot of money, and the raw materials are provided by the client, as long as they are processed." Bella was a little puzzled.

"You'll understand when you're older." Xia You touched the girl's head.

"Why do you say such old man's words, I'm as old as you!"

"I'm talking about the age of the heart."

Natsuyo looked at Yuna on the side, the girl was also aroused, she looked at the drawing in Bella's hand, and after a moment, her face flushed, and she looked away in panic.

“？？？”

After a moment of silence, Xia You decided to pretend that he didn't see it.

Bella was still persuading Xia You: "The country of Songshi and the country of Taru next door are fighting, and the war may spread to us, and it will be very difficult to sell toys at that time......"

Xia You was unmoved, he led the girl out of the town and towards the village.

Halfway through, Xia You's body stopped.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Yuna asked.

"The village is in front, you go back first, I have another matter."

The girl flattened her mouth and obediently left.

Seeing her enter the village, Xia You came to the side of the road and touched a tree on the side of the road.

There was a pattern carved into the tree, the pattern he had seen from the mayor a month ago, and the pattern was drawn in the Book of Demons.

After looking around, Xia You found that the soil on the ground was a little loose, he dug up the soil and turned out a cloth bag, which contained a piece of paper.

On the paper, in the words of Songshi Country, there was an address and a time, the address was on a hill not far away, and the time was this evening.
