On the way back, a game prompt such as [Side Mission Four (Failed)] suddenly appeared in front of Xia Solstice's eyes.

"Is it because I have decided in my heart to give up this task?"

That's quite human.

Xia Solstice thought to himself, and suddenly realized something.

He remembered that he had received this bounty mission from the Adventurers' Union, claiming that someone had found the traces of the fallen ghost clan in this vicinity, and then followed the tips given by the bounty mission to find the village step by step.

In other words, although they came here to take refuge, Amysha's traces have actually been discovered by humans.

"Remind them when you get back." Xia Solstice thought to himself.

Otherwise, maybe one day I will be confused and served in my hometown.

However, when he walked out of the woods with this thought, he saw a flash of fire in the direction of the village in the distance, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night.

"Is there a bonfire party tonight?" Xia Solstice said to himself suspiciously.

But isn't this fire too big? Did they burn down a house to help the fun?

Xia Solstice frowned slightly, and there was a faint premonition in his heart.

At this moment, a new game prompt appeared in front of his eyes:

[You triggered a new side quest: Guard the last gathering place of the Fallen Ghosts (current completeness/required remaining integrity: 83%/50%)].

[Mission Reward: 260 Dream Points].

"Hmm..."

The flickering fire in the distance woke up the girl sleeping lightly in her arms, and Ai Luke raised her head, looked at the fire with a puzzled expression, looked at the summer solstice and asked, "Did something happen there?" "

Xia Solstice didn't answer him, just whispered "hold on", and quickened his pace.

Eluko seemed to realize something, closed his mouth and stopped talking, his hands tightly grasping his clothes.

When the summer solstice arrived near the village, he saw the sight of piercing blood staining the earth, flames spreading through the village, and houses and corpses gradually engulfed in flames.

"The Zanguang Church has killed the Fallen Ghost Clan, and those who have nothing to do with it please leave here immediately." A middle-aged man holding a slender light blue long sword warned him coldly.

Xia Solstice looked left and right, and besides him, there was another young man holding a long, silver-white sword that seemed to be composed of many pieces of different sizes, standing leisurely at the entrance of the village, symbolically blocking the only way out.

In the distant village, there was also a figure holding a crimson longsword, wreaking havoc in the village, and every swing of the longsword would trigger a violent explosion, and it seemed that the flames and the corpses on the ground should have been caused by him.

However, he is also in a little trouble now, and a young girl with the same long fiery red hair blocks his way.

Seeing that Lilia stopped the man, Xia Solstice was slightly relieved in her heart, put down the girl in her arms, and whispered a word of "Stay here and don't move, wait for me to come back", and then walked towards the middle-aged man.

"Don't get any closer." The middle-aged man took a slight step forward and blocked his figure.

"Is this the Holy Sword?" Xia Solstice looked at the thin sword that was also composed of many metal fragments in his arms, and asked curiously: "What is its name?" "

"It has nothing to do with you." The middle-aged man's tone was cold.

"Your companion seems to be in some trouble, aren't you going to help him?" Xia Solstice did not stop and asked while approaching him.

"It has nothing to do with you." The middle-aged man still refused to answer.

"Did the Zanguang Church only send the three of you? But there are thousands of fallen ghosts here, aren't you afraid to let them go? "

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Listening to what you just said, it seems certain that we are not a fallen ghost race, can you ask how you did it?"

Seeing that the summer solstice was getting closer and closer to him, but he still didn't mean to stop, a vigilant look appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes, and his right hand already held the hilt of the holy sword, slightly aggravating his tone:

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Yes?" Xia Solstice paused, "Then let me ask something that has something to do with me." "

"What?"

The middle-aged man failed to ask this sentence.

He only felt that time seemed to stop.

In his retina, the boy who was still some distance away from him was already standing in front of him at this moment, gently raised his hand, and drew an arc in the air.

In this slow-motion world, the teenager's movements look very natural, without any unnecessary movements, as if autumn leaves are slowly falling in the air, which is difficult to be detected.

However, the middle-aged man could not make any reaction, and could only watch the arc pass down his throat.

No blood, no pain.

As if lying in a soft cloud, the middle-aged man's body fell backwards.

He did not realize that he had fallen, but he noticed that the night sky was getting farther and farther away from him, and there was a solid touch of the ground behind his back, as if the earth was standing upright behind him.

"Your sword, can you borrow me to use it?"

The boy's voice came belatedly into his ears. Only then did he notice that the holy sword that had been held tightly by himself had appeared in the other party's hand.

But unfortunately, at this time, he no longer had the strength to snatch it back.

So it is....

The last thought flashed in the middle-aged man's mind in the last moment before his consciousness sank into darkness:

...... You said it earlier.
