The two of them followed the NPC to the center of the village. It was a small clearing with no buildings around it. In the middle of the clearing was a wooden platform. On top of the platform was the phylactery that Sorrowful Autumn had brought back. Of course, there were also candles and other decorations around the platform. It really did look like an altar, even though it was a little crude.
Morrisa was standing beside the altar. When she saw Sorrowful Autumn, she happily walked up to them and said, "My lord adventurers, the item is ready."
"Hmm …" After hearing Li Huailin's words, Sorrowful Autumn also looked at Morrisa. However, he still wasn't sure if Li Huailin's guess was correct. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What should we do now?"
"The last step is to summon the villagers' souls back. We still need your help, my lord adventurers," Morrisa said. "In a while, I will open the gate to the world of the dead. The souls of the villagers are there now. We must let them out and then put them into this phylactery. But there are two problems. The first is that they will not come out on their own, and the second is that the souls that come out will not enter the jar. Because they are all vengeful spirits, they are very violent and may even attack people."
"What should we do then?" Sorrowful Autumn asked.
"First, if they refuse to come out, one of us must go through the door and chase them out. As for the second problem, I do have a way to control them and let their souls enter the phylactery, but the vengeful spirits are too strong. If I don't weaken them a little, I won't be able to control them. So, I need someone here to help me weaken them, "Morrisa replied.
"Oh, that's why I need two people …" Sorrowful Autumn nodded. "But Miss Morrisa, can I ask what you want with the villagers' souls?"
"Oh?" Morrisa was surprised, but she quickly replied, "Of course I want to help them. Now, their souls can only wander in the Undead World. It's such a pitiful thing. Of course I want to summon them back. I have already sent them to the Pure Land of Heaven, where they can rest in peace …"
Morrisa sounded very sincere when she said these words. Her voice was full of emotion. Li Huailin glanced at Sorrowful Autumn. It was obvious that this guy believed her.
"Don't worry, Miss Moira. I'll definitely help you." As expected, Sorrow of Sorrow immediately said.
"Yes, Sir Adventurer, I believe in you. You will definitely help our village," Morrisa said.
"Heavens …" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"Huailin, you stay here and help Morrisa. I'll go in," Autumn Sorrow said.
"You believe me just like that?" Li Huailin asked.
"Hmm? Didn't Morrisa already answer your question? Sure enough, you were thinking too much. "Yi Shui Bei Qiu said.
"I …" Li Huailin held his forehead again. There was really such a naive guy in this world. He really didn't believe that he hadn't met one.
"Alright, let's do this," Sorrowful Autumn said.
"Alright, I already said that I have to do the quest." Li Huailin shrugged. This guy was so naive that he didn't even care about me. I'll just keep doing the quest.
"Miss Moira, we're ready. I'll go into the Undead World. My friend will help you here," Sorrowful Autumn said to Morrisa.
"Alright, thank you for your help, Sir Adventurers." Morrisa bowed and said, "Let's not waste any more time. Let's start now."
"Alright," Sorrowful Autumn nodded.
"Please step back. I'm going to open the gate to the Undead World now." Morrisa took a wand from a villager beside her. Li Huailin looked at the wand and facepalmed again. This thing was obviously very expensive. No matter how he looked at it, it was not something that an ordinary person could afford.
However, Sorrowful Autumn didn't seem to notice it at all. He just waited calmly on the side.
Morrisa didn't notice Li Huailin's gaze either. She focused on chanting an incantation, "The evil spirits are coming. The gates of hell will open once more. To all the evil spirits that have submitted to me, I command you to return me to the void. Welcome me. The space before me will lose all meaning. Open, Gate of the Undead … "
A beam of black light shot out from the tip of Morrisa's staff, and the space in front of them began to rotate as if responding to the beam of black light. As Morrisa chanted, the beam of black light expanded, and a small hole appeared in the space in front of them. The hole gradually expanded, and soon, a two-meter wide hole appeared in front of them.
"Sir Adventurers, this is the gate to the Undead World. Please enter quickly. With my current mana, I can only maintain it for ten minutes. Please complete it within that time," Morrisa said to Sorrowful Autumn when she saw the gate open.
"There's a time limit? Alright, I'll go right away. " This was also the first time Sorrowful Autumn heard about the time limit, so he immediately rushed into the gate.
"Sir Adventurers, if you see any Vengeful Spirits coming out later, you can attack them directly. Weaken them, and I'll be able to control them and put them into your phylactery," Morrisa said to Li Huailin.
"Oh, okay, no problem. Isn't it just killing monsters?" Li Huailin shrugged. "Oh right, are we going to attack their souls directly?"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot," Morrisa suddenly said. "I have a bottle of potion in my pocket. If you apply it on your weapon, you'll be able to attack their souls."
"Why have I heard of this thing before …" Li Huailin said. Wasn't it the Holy Sand from the last dungeon? "Alright, give it to me," Morrisa said.
"I'm sorry, Sir Adventurers. I forgot to give you this thing. I need to maintain the gate, so I can't move it. Why don't you take it yourself? It's on the right side of my robe," Morrisa said.
"Me?" Li Huailin looked at the villagers around him. "Aren't there people around?"
All the villagers immediately took a step back and said, "We wouldn't dare."
"Heh …" Li Huailin laughed. "Do you really want me to do it?"
"Only Sir Adventurers can do it yourself." Although Li Huailin couldn't see Morrisa's face, he could tell from her tone that she didn't want him to take something from her robe. However, she couldn't move now, so there was nothing he could do about it.
Just as they were talking, the door on this side suddenly flashed, and then a transparent humanoid thing ran out from inside. Li Huailin turned around to look. It was the soul of a villager, and it was written in red. It was a monster. Li Huailin immediately looked at it with Transcendent Insight.
Villager's Soul: Level 30 HP: 2,500 Physical Attack: 105 Physical Defense: 90 Magic Attack: 0 Magic Defense: 65 Physical Attack and Physical Skills are ineffective. Light Magic Damage increased by 33%.
The monster's difficulty wasn't high, but Li Huailin's Attributes had been reduced. Although he would have no problem defeating this one, the quest required both quantity and time. If he was too slow, he'd be overrun by Souls. Souls would soon fill the mountains and plains. Fortunately, Li Huailin's Attributes had been reduced.
"The soul has appeared. Sir Adventurers, please hurry up," Morrisa said as soon as she saw the first soul appear.
"Wait … let me take a look at the goods first …" Li Huailin suddenly said.
"Goods?" Jasmine did not know what Li Huailin meant, so she asked curiously.
Before Morrisa could react, Li Huailin suddenly reached out and pulled Morrisa's hood. In an instant, an exquisite face appeared in front of Li Huailin. This wizard named Morilla was a very young girl, no more than 20 years old. She was also very beautiful, with clear, bright eyes, curved eyebrows, long eyelashes, fair, flawless skin, and thin lips like rose petals. Although she was a human, she looked just like Phyllis, who was destined to go to the elves. Morilla's eyes were bright and clear, and her eyebrows were curved. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her skin was fair and flawless. Her lips were as delicate and tender as rose petals.
However, because of Li Huailin's sudden action, Morrisa was stunned for a moment. Then, she suddenly became angry, "You …"
Just as she finished speaking, Li Huailin suddenly received a system notification.
System Notification: Your actions have angered Morrisa Wester Pallie. Morrisa Wester Pallie's favorability towards you has increased by 20 points. Current favorability: Friendly.
"What are you doing!" The surrounding villagers saw Li Huailin's action and immediately shouted angrily.
"It's none of your business!" Li Huailin said as he spread out his hands.
"You!" The villager next to him immediately wanted to step forward, but before he could, Morrisa suddenly said, "Wait … it's okay."
"Lady Morrisa!" The villager was also confused. Why didn't Morrisa look angry when Morrisa suddenly said this?
"It's okay." Morrisa stared at the villager next to her, and the villager immediately stopped talking.
"That's right, she doesn't even mind, why are you guys so anxious?" Li Huailin looked at the villager next to him and said with a smile, "But to be honest, you have a pretty face."
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Adventurer, but for now, shouldn't we take care of the evil spirit over there?" Morrisa said to Li Huailin with a much better attitude.
"I was just about to get some potions. Come, let me touch you," Li Huailin said with a lascivious smile.
"Touch me? What are you trying to do? "Morrisa suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Just … like this!" Li Huailin said as he attacked Morrisa's chest with his right hand.
Feeling something soft in his hand, Li Huailin immediately heard a long list of system notifications.
System Notification: Because you have violated the game's rules by harassing an NPC of the opposite sex, you have received the curse "Vulgar."

System Notification: Because of your inappropriate behavior, Dark Church's favorability towards you increased by 55 points. Current favorability: Respected.
"Dark Church?" Li Huailin was surprised.
