Chapter 451 The Terrible Curse
Jude asked the hotel maid where there was good ale in the city, and the latter told him that as long as he went out and walked east for a while, he saw the tavern with the wheat sticks outside the door, and there was all kinds of ale in it. .

Jude noticed that the waitress had a strange look on her face when she said this, but he didn't take it too seriously, and strode over there after thanking her.

Soon he found this tavern named Happy Nest. To the surprise of the ugly-faced man, there were very few customers in this sizable tavern.

There were only eight or nine sporadic people, and there were also four guards from the Bathory family, who should have just arrived and were urging the tavern owner to serve them wine.

Compared with other items in this tavern, the age of the owner is a bit too young.

Jude was not in a hurry, he didn't like dealing with people, even if they were fellow travelers.

He waited for the guards of the Bathory family to find a place to sit down with their wine before walking to the counter.

"Give me a glass of ale." Jude said, throwing a silver coin on the counter at the same time.

The boss took the money in a hurry, 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 beer and stop bothering me.

Jude didn't take it seriously, because his half of his face was not very popular no matter where he went, and he was used to other people's eyes.

And the young boss wasn't targeting him, he treated all the guests like this, he also avoided those few guards from the Bathory family who came to buy wine before, reluctantly.

I don't know, I thought that the drinkers here don't give money for drinking.

But I have to say that their ale is really good. I don’t know if it’s freshly brewed. The aroma of the ale is very strong, and the cup is also very big.

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

But this has nothing to do with Jude. He is on vacation now, and he doesn't want to meddle in other people's business. He found a corner and finished his drink silently.

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

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

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

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

"What do you mean there are no girls? How can there be no girls in a tavern?" Jude frowned. "Is it because of my looks? Don't worry, I will pay double the money. There must be girls who are willing to take this job. "

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

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

Jude said, and at the same time put a silver coin on the counter.

The young boss quickly accepted the silver coins, and then said, "You can't find girls anywhere."

"Today is a rest day, and I don't want to cause trouble." Jude put 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 tavern owner looked at the rows of sharp teeth on the chainsaw, his expression changed slightly.

"I'm doing it for your own good."

"Why don't I think so?"

"The city has been cursed," said the tavernkeeper, "and that curse has deprived us of our pleasures."

"curse?"

"That's right, the curse appeared about three years ago. At the beginning, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. The happy nest is still full of happy people. People get drunk every day, men and women. , flirting with each other...you can always have fun here.

"But then the curse came, and some people started to feel itchy and wanted to scratch, and then the skin would turn red, and then there was pain, unbearable pain, so those patients had to drink more alcohol and try to numb themselves.

"But it didn't help. Their bodies began to ooze pus and rot, their necks became thicker, they had fever, vomiting, blindness, and a foul smell.

"Afterwards, there was even more terrible pain and terrible erythema. This curse slowly spread to your whole body. It devoured your flesh and blood, gnawed at your bones, and made you die in pain."

"We prayed to the God of the Earth and Grain, but it didn't respond to us. The church sent priests to check, but they obviously didn't have a good solution. People are still dying, including the two sons of the lord.

"It is also said that this is the curse that Julius himself planted on us, because the city was too depraved before this. That's why the god of the earth and grain cursed this land, and cursed the men and women on it, forever deprive them of the right to enjoy themselves."

After listening to the tavern owner, Jude said, "If you just want to stop me from having fun in the city, just say it directly, and you don't have to make up such a long paragraph."

"I didn't make this up. My father and mother were all under that curse. One was dead, and the other was not dead, but he was not far from death. Otherwise, this tavern wouldn't be here now." Let me take care of it." The young boss said excitedly.

"Do you think I would miss the good old days and drive all the girls out of the tavern on purpose? The fact is that they either died or fell ill. No one can survive that terrible curse."

Jude also felt a little panicked after hearing this.

He was given the holy sword by Li Yu, and he felt that he was not afraid of any opponent in the world, but when faced with the invisible and intangible curse, he seemed a little at a loss as to where to start.

Even when the tavern owner was talking, Jude felt his jaw itch, but he didn't dare to reach out to scratch it.

The ugly-faced man was not in the mood to have fun any more, he returned to the hotel early, and he found the waitress from before to inquire about the curse.

It is basically the same as what the tavern owner said. Many people in the city have been tricked, and the church has nothing to do afterwards. It can only suggest that the lord gather those cursed people together and prevent outsiders from touching them. .

This move curbs the spread of the curse to a certain extent, but those who have already been cursed can only wait to die in despair.

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