Jude inquired with the innkeeper about the good ale in the city, and the latter told him that he only had to go out a little further east and see the tavern with a wheat stick in the door, which had all kinds of wine.

Jude noticed that the waitress had a strange look on her face when she said this, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and after thanking him, he strode over there.

Soon he found this tavern called Happy Nest, and to the surprise of the ugly-faced man, there were very few customers in this tavern of large size.

There were only eight or nine people scattered around, and there were four Bathory guards, who must have just arrived, urging the tavern keeper to serve them drinks.

Compared to the other objects in this tavern, the owner's age was a bit excessive.

Jude wasn't in a hurry, he didn't like to deal with people, even if they were companions.

He waited for the Bartoli guards to find a place to sit down with their wines in hand, and then walked to the counter.

"Bring me a glass of ale." Jude said, dropping a silver coin on the counter.

The boss hurriedly accepted the money, took out an empty wooden cup, filled it with golden ale, pushed the cup to the ugly-faced man, and then shrank it aside.

It's like saying drink your bar and stop bothering me.

Jude didn't care, because half of his face was not very popular everywhere he went, and he was used to the white eyes of others.

And the young boss wasn't targeting him, he was the same to all the guests, and he was just as reluctant to avoid the Bartories guards who came to buy wine before.

I don't know if I thought that the drinkers here don't pay for drinking.

But I have to say that their ale wine is really good, I don't know if it has just been brewed, the wheat aroma is very strong, and the cup is also very large, a cup is the size of a general tavern.

It stands to reason that such a delicious and affordable tavern, even if the owner has a bad temper, should be overcrowded every day, but this place is very deserted.

But this has nothing to do with Jude, he is now on vacation, and he doesn't want to meddle with things, so he found a corner and silently finished drinking.

Then Jude asked for another cup, tilted his head, and poured it all into his stomach.

The ugly-faced man feels his body start to heat up, and it's time to have some fun.

Jude returned to the counter with an empty wine glass and asked the young owner of the tavern, "Where have the girls gone?"

"There are no more girls." The boss said coldly.

"What do you mean there are no girls? How could there be no girl in the tavern," Jude frowned, "Is it because of my looks, don't worry, I'll pay double the money, there's always a girl willing to take the job."

"No, there are no more girls." The boss repeated, "Why do you think there are so few people in my tavern?"

"Well, I don't care where everyone goes, and you don't have to explain it to me, I just want to know, if you don't have a girl here, where else can you find a girl in this city?"

Jude said, placing a silver coin on the counter.

The young boss quickly accepted the coin, and then said, "You won't find the girl anywhere."

"It's a day off, and I don't want to cause trouble." Jude placed his holy sword Dongcheng on the table and said calmly, "But you have to give me a reason not to do anything to you."

The tavernkeeper looked at the rows of sharp serrations on the chainsaw, and his expression changed slightly.

"I'm for your good."

"Why don't I think?"

"The city has been cursed." The tavernkeeper said, "The curse has robbed us of the right to have fun."

"Cursed?"

"That's right, that curse came about three years ago, and at first everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and the happy nest was still full of happy people, people got drunk every day, men, women, flirting with each other...... You can always have fun here.

「

But then the curse came, and some people started to feel itchy on their bodies, so they always wanted to scratch it, and then the skin would turn red, and then the pain, the unbearable pain, so the patients had to drink more alcohol and try to numb themselves.

"But it didn't work, their bodies began to bleed pus, erosion, their necks thickened, they had fever, they vomited, they lost their sight, they smelled foul.

"Then came even more terrible pain, terrible red spots, and the curse slowly spread throughout your body, devouring your flesh, gnawing at your bones, and dying in pain."

"We prayed to the god of the earth and the grain, but it did not answer us, and the church sent priests to check on us, but they obviously did not have a good solution, and people continued to die, including the lord's two sons.

"Others say that this is a curse planted on us by Julius himself, because the city was so depraved before that. That's why the gods of the earth and the grain curse the land, curse the men and women above it, and deprive them of the right to pleasure forever."

Jude listened to the tavernkeeper's words, "If you just want to stop me from having fun in the city, you don't have to make up such a big thing."

"I didn't make it up, my father and my mother, they all fell under that curse, one is dead, and the other is not dead, but not far from death, otherwise this tavern would not be taken care of by me now." The young boss said excitedly.

"Do you think I'm going to miss the good old days and deliberately drive all the girls out of the tavern? The truth is that they are either dead or sick, and no one can carry that terrible curse."

Jude also felt a little panicked when he heard this.

He was given a holy sword by Li Yu, and he felt that he was not afraid of any opponent in the world, but in the face of a curse that he couldn't see or touch, he seemed a little unsure of where to start.

Even Jude felt his jaw itch as he spoke, but he didn't dare reach for it.

The ugly-faced man was in no mood to have any more fun, so he returned to the inn early, and he went to the waitress from before to inquire about the curse.

Basically, as the tavern owner said, there are many people in the city who have been tricked, and there is nothing the church can do in the back, so he can only suggest that the lord gather those who have been cursed together and not let outsiders contact them.

This did curb the spread of the curse to some extent, but those who had already fallen under the curse could only die in despair.

Jude then urgently summoned all the warriors of the Black Dog Guard, asked them not to have fun in the city, and then told Ilea and Ferdinand about it.
