“We’re finally hoh from atop his horse

After a tumultuous journey, theFilo to relax a little

Every trip that they took outside put theer

Of course, the outcoao was delivered to Scorched Cliff City, thehaul

Disaster and happiness are truly interrelated, Filo thought to hih

He turned around to find the fe Miss, Sicilia

He spurred his horse on over “Madame Isabella, we have arrived at Scorched Cliff City It’s all thanks to your help”

“There’s no need to be polite We’re happy to accompany you,” Isabella replied with a smile

Her appearance was already quite distinct, as she was dressed in a full suit of armor When she smiled, almost everyone around her was iazed at Isabella in a daze, thinking to themselves that the person who married this woman would be incredibly lucky

Perhaps only the bandits who followed Isabella wouldn’t dare to think of such things

After all, any woroup of bloodthirsty bandits did so not through a pleasant smile and a beautiful appearance, but rather an iron fist and bloody hands

Isabella , but after becoe herself to survive

She would either die, or she would succeed

And since Isabella had succeeded, she had become the true leader of the bandits and fully transforirl that she had once been was long gone

But the more Isabella became separated from her innocent past self, the hteous side to others

“Why don’t you come to our family’s residence and stay there a while?” Sicilia asked, extending an invitation to Isabella

“I’ about this city feel a bit strange?”

Even though the city entrance ide open for anyone to coate was extre the streets Actually, this was the case for the entire city, as far as the eye could see

Filo e Where did they all go? Scorched Cliff City is usually not like this”

“Let’s take a walk through the city If anything is up, ill know then,” Isabella replied as she spurred her horse into a trot and entered the city

There should have been soldiers standing guard on the city walls, but not a single individual was present to halt them The caravan entered the city with no issue But the further they walked, the stranger it felt There were a few beggars sitting by the side of the road in tattered clothing, but their gazes were blank, as if they were dead It was iet a response from them

“What the hell happened here?” Filo said with a frown

Sicila replied, “I feel like we’re in a ghost town”

Filo felt his heart tre company”

The caravan took off at a rapid pace towards their trading company

Soon after, they arrived at the Ride Kite Trading Company, which was sile shop assistant standing guard near the entrance

“Ada on here?” Filo asked as he dismounted his horse

“You’ve finally returned, Sir Filo” A ray of hope appeared in Adam’s lifeless eyes

“Hurry up and tell me what happened! Where is everyone? Why is Scorched Cliff City so e of questions

“It was a curse! A terrifying curse!” Adam replied, still terror stricken

Filo soon learned that, not long before their arrival, a curse had suddenly swept through the city

This curse’s effects were terrifying Anyone struck by it would iin to sweat blood until they died The worst part was that the curse was incredibly contagious, and it rapidly spread from an afflicted person to others

This hy a majority of the city’s now ex-residents had run away Now, the city had been essentially abandoned, and the only people who had re with their oer

“How could this be? Is there no way to counteract this curse? What about the Church?” Filo asked loudly

Adaainst a curse of this level, the Church could only do enough to protect the individuals froy to them, this curse permeated infected individuals to the bone, and it was incredibly difficult to extricate

Filo swayed unsteadily on his feet from the shock of the news

Sicilia cried out, “What about my father? How is he?”

“The Patriarch is safe He was able to escape from Scorched Cliff City in time But his wife”

Adam fell silent, but Sicilia knehat had been left unsaid Her vision suddenly darkened as she collapsed onto the ground

“Young Miss” A few of the guards stepped forwards to steady her

“Mother” Siciliabesides cry when trouble coood,” a cold voice said at that moment

Isabella had ju in their direction

A corpse laid in her path, and it probably belonged to soo

Isabella kicked the dead individual aside with her clean ar into the air

“Be careful! Don’t get infected!” Adam cried out
