Jude asked the waitress at the hotel where to find good ale in the city. The latter told him that as long as he went out and walked east for a while, he saw the tavern with a wheat stick outside the door.
have.
Jude noticed that the waitress had a strange expression on her face when she said this, but he didn't take it too seriously. After thanking her, he strode over there.
Soon he found the tavern called Happy Nest. To the ugly-faced man's surprise, there were only a few customers in this large tavern.
There were only eight or nine scattered people, and there were also four guards from the Bathory family, who must have just arrived and were urging the tavern owner to serve them drinks.
Compared with other items in this pub, the owner's age is a bit too young.
Jude was not in a hurry. He didn't like dealing with people, even his companions.
He waited until the several Bathory family guards had found a place to sit down with their drinks, and then walked to the counter.
"Bring me a glass of ale," Jude said, throwing 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 was like saying drink your wine and stop bothering me.
Jude didn't take it seriously, because that half of his face was not very popular no matter where he went, and he was used to other people's looks.
And the young boss wasn't targeting him. He was like this to all his guests. When the guards from the Bathory family came to buy wine, he was just as reluctant and reluctant to avoid them.
I don’t know, I thought the drinkers here didn’t pay for their drinks.
But I have to say that their ale is really good. I don’t know if it was just brewed. It has a strong aroma of malt, and the cup is also very big. A cup is the size of a cup and a half in a pub.
It stands to reason that such a delicious and affordable tavern should be crowded with people every day, even if the owner has a bad temper. However, it is very deserted here.
But this had nothing to do with Jude. He was on vacation now and didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He found a corner and drank the wine silently.
Then Jude asked for another glass, raised his head, and drank it all into his stomach.
The ugly-faced man felt that his body was starting to heat up, and it was time to have some fun.
Jude returned to the counter with the empty wine glass in hand and asked the young owner 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 appearance? Don't worry, I will pay double. There will always be girls willing to take this job."
"
"No, there are no girls anymore." The boss repeated again, "Why else do you think there are so few people in my tavern."
"Well, I don't care where everyone has gone, and you don't need to explain this 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, while placing another 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 day off, 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 attack you."
The tavern owner's expression changed slightly as he looked at the rows of sharp teeth on the chainsaw.
"I'm doing this for your own good."
"Why don't I think so?"
"This city has been cursed." The tavern owner said, "The curse has deprived us of the right to have fun."
"curse?"
"Yes, that curse appeared about three years ago. At the beginning, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. The Happy Nest was still full of happy people. People were 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, so they always wanted to scratch it, and then the skin would turn red, and then there would be pain, unbearable pain, so those patients could only drink more wine to try to anesthetize themselves.
"But this is of no use. Their bodies begin to ooze pus and rot, their necks become thicker, they have fever, vomiting, blindness, and a foul odor.
"Then there will be more terrible pain and terrible red spots. This curse slowly spreads to your whole body. It eats your flesh and blood, gnaws at your bones, and makes you die in pain."
"We prayed to the God of Earth and Grain, but he did not respond to us. The church sent priests to check, but they obviously had no good solution. People were still dying, including the lord's two sons.
"Some people also say that this is a curse planted on us by Julius himself, because this city was too degenerate before this. That's why the god of earth and grain cursed this land and the men and women on it forever.
depriving them of their right to enjoy themselves.”
After hearing what the tavern owner said, Jude said, "If you just want to stop me from having fun in the city, just say so. You don't have to make up such a long paragraph."
"I'm not making this up. My father and my mother are all affected by that curse. One is dead, and the other is not dead, but he is not far away from death. Otherwise, this tavern would not be here now.
Let me take care of it," the young boss said excitedly.
"Do you think I would not miss the good old days and deliberately drive away the girls in the tavern? The fact is that they are either dead or sick. No one can withstand that terrible curse."
Jude also felt a little scared after hearing this.
He was given the Holy Sword by Li Yu, and he felt that he was not afraid of any opponents in the world, but when faced with the invisible and intangible curse, he seemed a little confused as to where to start.
Even when the tavern owner was talking, Jude felt his chin itched, but he didn't dare to reach out and scratch it.
The ugly-faced man was not in the mood to have any more fun, so he returned to the hotel early and found the waitress from before to inquire about the curse.
Basically, it was similar to what the tavern owner said. Many people in the city were affected by the curse. Later, the church had no choice but to suggest that the lord gather all those who had been cursed together and prevent outsiders from contacting them.
.
This move has curbed the spread of the curse to a certain extent, but those who have been cursed can still wait for death in despair.
So Jude urgently summoned all the soldiers of the Black Dog Guard and asked them not to have fun in the city, and then told Ilea and Ferdinand about the matter.
