After realizing that the old man was indeed the son of the owner of the bank, Nan Yuan looked extremely confused.

"So, what's going on here? Why is there such a big age difference between the owner of the bank and his son?"

Zou Jingcheng: "Because they died at different times, their appearances are also different."

Nan Yuan was taken aback for a moment.

In an instant, he understood the meaning of Zou Jingcheng's words,

"That is to say... the owner of the bank died long before his son?"

Zou Jingcheng nodded.

I saw him reach out and pick up the recovered diary,

"According to the records in this diary, the son of the owner of the bank was not taken away by someone, but his mother hid him in this mine and sealed the entrance of the mine for the purpose of Don't let his father find it."

Nanyuan once again looked at the harsh environment in the cave.

The only thing that can satisfy our hunger here is such a fruit tree.

Living here alone for decades is almost worse than going to jail.

"Why did the boy's mother do this?"

Zou Jingcheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,

"Because, the day of his 15th birthday is the day of his death!"

"Death date?" This sentence made Nan Yuan feel a little creepy.

"What does the date of death mean? That is, will he die on his fifteenth birthday?"

Zou Jingcheng nodded.

"It is said that in a valley not far away, there lived an evil dragon. The evil dragon wanted to eat a 15-year-old boy every year, otherwise it would bring disaster to the world. Therefore, every year the king would choose a young boy Boys who have reached the age of 15 are sacrificed to the evil dragon in the valley to pray for a year of peace, and this year, the king chose the son of the owner of the bank."

Hearing this cruel and bloody custom, Nanyuan couldn't help but frowned,

"Are there really evil dragons in this world? Do you need to sacrifice a living person?"

Zou Jingcheng: "Although I don't know whether the evil dragon really exists, it seems that disaster has really come."

Saying that, Zou Jingcheng frowned,

"Originally, the boy's mother told him that he would save him after avoiding the wind. However, he eventually died of old age in the cave, and his mother did not wait. It seems that because there is no priest for the boy, everyone was tortured." Annihilation."

Nanyuan couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

This is a painful choice. If the son is sacrificed to the evil dragon, maybe they can get peace, but they lost this son forever.

Nan Yuan couldn't help but glanced at the old man's body again,

"Then how should we answer the question, is it possible to move the old man's body back?"

If the old man's corpse is used for business, will the owner of the bank be sure to pay them?

At the same time, a gust of wind blew by.

The white bone instantly turned into a piece of ashes, blowing towards the diary.

The diary with the ashes on it began to flip through.

When turning to the last page, the diary stopped.

But on the page, a line of words appeared faintly——

[I want to see my father. 】

Nan Yuan couldn't help but glanced at Zou Jingcheng.

It seems that the soul of the son of the owner of the bank is attached to this diary.

"Are you the son of the owner of the bank?"

I saw a line of words appeared below again——

【I want to ask him, why did he send me as a sacrificial offering...】

Nan Yuan could not help but take a deep breath.

The next moment, he reached out and picked up the diary, and said in a deep voice,

"Okay, we'll take you to your father now."

After walking out of the mine again, Nanyuan saw that the white mist at the end of the road had returned to the appearance of the Brave Town.

I don't know if it's because of watching the life of the owner's son of the bank, I always feel that the town of Brave is much more depressed than before.

After returning to the small town, Nanyuan and the others went straight to the bank.

At the moment when I walked into the bank, I only heard the owner of the bank say quietly,

"It seems that you have completed the task."

Nanyuan nodded.

He sighed softly, put the diary on the counter of the bank, opened it, and handed it to the owner of the bank.

"Your son, he has something to ask you..."

However, the owner of the bank said indifferently,

"I know what he's going to ask."

As he spoke, he picked up the diary blankly.

"Son, today is your birthday. Father wishes you a happy birthday."

Hearing this sentence, Nan Yuan couldn't help feeling startled.

today……

He thought they had spent at most one night in the mine.

Could it be that, according to the proportion of time in the brave town, have they been in the mine for a whole day?

Nan Yuan was about to take a step back and give the father and son a space to reunite.

However, at the next moment, the owner of the bank instantly threw the diary in front of the lit oil lamp,

"Nizi! I finally found you! You are not dead! All of us will be firmly bound!"

But the diary was instantly stained with kerosene and lit up!

Nan Yuan wanted to step forward to stop him, but Zou Jingcheng grabbed him and shook his head at him.

Just listening to the owner of the bank looking at the burning diary, there was a hint of madness in his eyes,

"Die, you die! Only when you become a sacrificial offering can we be freed! Lord Dragon King, have you seen it? We have brought you the sacrifice you want! Dragon King..."

However, before he finished speaking, he saw that the burning diary rushed towards the body of the owner of the bank in an instant, and the fire directly burned to the face of the owner of the bank. The screams made Nan Yuan's heart tremble.

After an unknown amount of time, the screams of the owner of the bank gradually subsided, and the burning flame gradually dimmed.

After the owner of the bank twitched twice, he propped himself up on the ground in a twisted posture, and climbed up with difficulty.

But he saw that his hair was all scorched black, his face was covered with burn blisters, and his fingers and body looked abnormally stiff.

He tilted his head, dragged himself to Nanyuan and the others, and said in a low voice,

"I've been waiting for a long time, now I will settle the task rewards with you."

Hearing this sentence, Nan Yuan couldn't help frowning.

The voice and tone of this speech are very different from the previous boss of the bank!

Is it possible...

At this moment, I saw the owner of the bank covering his head and tilting his head, as if he wanted to straighten his head.

At this moment, Nan Yuan couldn't help being startled.

Although the owner of the bank's skin was already covered with burn marks, he could still see the eye-catching mark of roses on his neck.

It seems that he... is no longer the original owner of the bank.

Nan Yuan couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

Although the original owner of the bank was ruthless and used his own son as a sacrifice, his starting point was to save everyone.

In this matter, between their father and son, it is impossible to judge who is right and who is wrong.

The culprit was the object of the sacrifice—the evil dragon.

At this moment, Nan Yuan exchanged all their rewards for cash.

The score of the additional question is 2 points, and the 5 of them added up to get a total of [-] points.

He also got ten coins for this.

Now, all the coins on his body add up to 12 coins.

At the same time, they found that the road back to the village of the brave was open again.

In order to confirm who between Tang Yi and Tang Xu was telling the truth, Nan Yuan and Zou Jingcheng decided to go to the Village of the Brave to clarify the matter first.

After returning to the village of the brave, I saw that it was already night there.

There was no one in the tavern, no sign of anyone.

After counting the time, Nan Yuan couldn't help frowning.

"It's almost time for the rally that night."

Zou Jingcheng nodded, "Go and have a look at that open space."

After several people rushed to the open space, they saw the familiar scene that they saw that day.

In the center of the open field stood a wooden stick, with a person tied to it, and a firewood that was about to burn on the other side.

However, the person tied to it has changed from the original Jiang Qiu to someone else.

This person is none other than Tang Xu!

The old man holding the torch stepped forward and shouted at Tang Xu:

"Thieves are shameful!"

The people below also shouted,

"Thieves are shameful!"

Nanyuan couldn't help but frowned.

What's the meaning?Isn't Tang Xu an archer?Why are they calling thieves?

Tang Yi had never seen such a posture before, and the shock was clearly no small matter, and he was about to rush forward to save his sister.

Before he could rush up, Xie Yi reached out and grabbed him, and said in a deep voice,

"You, a blacksmith, rushed directly to fight with so many people, are you looking for death?"

Tang Yi said anxiously: "But my sister will be burned to death by them!"

Zou Jingcheng: "This is a fixed plot, don't worry, we have watched it several times."

Nan Yuan looked at Zou Jingcheng: "Should Xu Yang's water column appear next?"

Tang Yi: "..."

However, the plot this time is different from last time, Xu Yang did not appear on stage.

However, a sudden downpour of rain suddenly extinguished the torch in the old man's hand.

Zou Jingcheng looked at Nan Yuan, "Is there any anesthetic left?"

Nan Yuan nodded, "There are still some, which were not used in the mine later."

Zou Jingcheng: "It can be used now."

Nan Yuan was stunned, "But, there are so many people in this village, I only have two or three medicines in my hand, is it enough?"

Zou Jingcheng glanced at Xie Yi at the side,

"Isn't there another wizard here?"

Nan Yuan said in a deep voice, "Could it be that there is still a spreading witchcraft?"

At this moment, Xie Yi nodded, "Yes, but the power will be weakened after spreading, and the anesthesia effect may not be so good."

"It doesn't matter."

Zou Jingcheng gestured to Jiang Qiu again,

"Isn't he a thief? He should be very good at stealing things, right?"

Jiang Qiu: "...Don't you want me to steal someone?"

Zou Jingcheng pointed to Nan Yuan who was beside him,

"Everything is under the command of the captain."

Nan Yuan: "..." Why does he have the feeling of being shot?

However, this is the best way at the moment, he can only bite the bullet and nod towards Jiang Qiu,

"Jiang Qiu, please!"

Jiang Qiu sighed and nodded, "I'll try my best."

After everything was ready, Nan Yuan took out his anesthetic and signaled Xie Yi to perform the spreading witchcraft.

The next moment, all his anesthetics were scattered towards the villagers.

And Jiang Qiu took the opportunity to go to the place where Tang Xu was bound, and successfully rescued Tang Xu.

Just when Tang Yi stepped forward to check on Tang Xu's injuries, Tang Xu threw himself on Nan Yuan's body and hugged her tightly, with tears in his eyes, and trembling words,

"Brother Mingqiu, you finally came to save me, I'm so scared, my brother... my brother hit me again..."
