After the dinner, Qin Lun wandered around the castle with his hands behind his back.
It's night now, but it's not time to lie down and rest. Originally, this time period should be the best time for the host to entertain guests for tea and chat. However, at the dinner party, the baron's son Bonnie Albert questioned Qin Lun, which obviously made it difficult for Baron Albert to invite guests to drink tea and chat.
Qin Lun is now a doctor, and he came here as a guest as a cure for the disease. It's obviously not polite to bypass this topic, but talking about this topic again, under the current situation, is a bit like an interrogation. This is not how nobles treat guests.
What's more, the Baron's family is not a doctor after all, questioning someone's professional field once can be called curiosity. If you question it a second time, you will lose even the most basic etiquette. As a hereditary nobleman, Baron Thomas Albert couldn't do that.
Of course, the baron still doesn't know about his daughter, Miss Laura, but she has already questioned Qin Lun once.
Albert Castle has a large interior space, and the main castle and the four surrounding auxiliary castles are connected by suspended stone bridges. In contrast, there were not many Albert family and servants in the castle, which seemed a bit depressed.
Viewed from the outside during the day, it looks majestic, but at night, this behemoth on the cliff, due to its lack of popularity, looks a bit eerie. If there is a flock of crows around and croaking a few times, people will believe that it is a ghost castle.
Since Qin Lun was a distinguished guest invited by the baron, and the master had also said that he was allowed to visit, he could be said to be unimpeded in the castle. Of course, Qin Lun would not go to the master's bedroom and study for a "visit".
He didn't go back to the guest room, but wandered around in the castle. Apart from wanting to familiarize himself with the internal structure and topography of the castle, he naturally had another ulterior purpose.
"How to get to the parapet of the castle?"
Qin Lun recalled that the baron had said that Odia could be seen from the top of the castle, so he stopped a maid in the corridor and asked.
(The female wall he refers to here is a wall stack built again on the outer wall of Albert Castle, like a wall corridor added to the outside of the castle, located in the upper part of the main castle. As for Odia, Not only refers to the town of Odia, but also generally refers to the human settlements in the area centered on the town of Odia.)
After receiving the maid's guidance, Qin Lun quickly came to the outside of the castle's parapet through the corridors extending in all directions in the castle.
At this time, the torrential rain outside the castle had stopped, and the cool wind full of moisture made Qin Lun extremely comfortable. The little towns under the mountain are dotted with lights like stars in the sky, reflecting a peaceful and peaceful moonlit night scenery.
"Is Odia beautiful?" A crisp child's voice came from the darkness.
"Huh?" Qin Lun turned his head to look, only to see a small figure walking out from the dark corner of the parapet.
"Miss Elizabeth?" Qin Lun looked at the cute little princess of the Baron's family in surprise, "Is there no servant following you?"
"I don't need their care!" Elizabeth shook her head like a little adult with a serious face.
Qin Lun rubbed his nose and looked at this cute and pretty little loli with a smile. Even with his indifferent disposition, he had to admit that the little guy was so cute.
"It's really beautiful, but it's very windy here, Miss Elizabeth should go back to her room to sleep!" Qin Lun squatted in front of the little girl, reaching out to grab the little guy's arm.
"I don't want to sleep yet. Can Mr. Stan let me ride on my shoulders? I'm too short to see the night view of Odia in the distance." Elizabeth puffed her cheeks and made her request unceremoniously.
"Okay, but after reading it, let's go back, okay?" Qin Lun put his hands under Elizabeth's armpits and let her ride on his shoulders, but immediately raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Huh?" , why are you so cold and wet? You've been in the rain, haven't you?"
"It's so beautiful!" Elizabeth did not answer Qin Lun, but opened her small arms like an adult, as if she wanted to embrace the whole of Odia in her small arms, "Wellington, have you ever been exposed to rain?"
"Miss Elizabeth, you should call me Mr. Stan!" The weirdness in Qin Lun's heart had reached an unparalleled level, but he still replied honestly, "I rarely get in the rain, and I don't like wet weather either."
Whether it's a mental hospital or Handan Severe Penalty Prison, as long as it's rainy, the originally small cell will be even colder and damper. If Qin Lun likes rainy days, there will be ghosts.
"Well, I can feel that you're telling the truth this time!" Elizabeth looked into the distance and muttered to herself, "I don't like rainy days either. There is no sun on rainy days. I haven't seen the sun for a long time. Sometimes, I really want to stand here all night until I see the sunrise in the sky!"
Tell the truth this time! When did you tell a lie? Maybe this little guy will be a breakthrough!
Qin Lun's face darkened, his eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Miss Elizabeth, your family doesn't seem to believe that I can cure the disease?"
"Hee hee, the only people who can protect Odia are the Albert family!" Elizabeth's childish laughter was exquisite and sweet, "My father once said that Odia is the responsibility of the Albert family for thousands of years, the guardian of thousands of years, The glory of the millennium! No one can replace Albert to guard this land!"
"This is really a heavy responsibility! Is your father the baron, or Lord Bonny?" Qin Lun smiled noncommittally, arguing with a little girl on such a topic is really boring.
"No, it's not them! Well, let me down, I should go back to sleep!" Elizabeth smiled and patted Qin Lun's head, "Thank you, Wellington, you are a good man!"
"Run slowly, Miss Elizabeth!"
A little girl actually issued a good person card, Qin Lun looked helplessly at Elizabeth bouncing and disappearing at the end of the aisle.
…
In this castle, not even an eight-year-old girl believes that she can cure the disease! While thinking, Qin Lun slowly walked towards his guest room.
No, if they really didn't believe it at all, they wouldn't question the procedure. Since there are doubts, it means that the Albert family is still not sure whether the surgery is effective for the epidemic.
On the contrary, they didn't question the potion "World Tree Flower Dew" that was spread by the townspeople, which showed that they didn't believe that there was a medicine that could cure the disease. The family must have known something, maybe even a clear picture of how the disease came about.
In addition, Elizabeth said that she was not the daughter of the Baron, nor the daughter of Bonnie Albert. Could she be that person, the daughter of Stephen Albert
Qin Lun was thinking, and finally came to the door of his guest room.
After entering the room and closing the door again, Qin Lun subconsciously glanced at the empty room. When his gaze fell on a certain place, the murderer's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a pinhole.
"Ugh!" Qin Lun bent over in pain and retched, dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he couldn't help covering his face with his hands, and a low growl like a beast came out of his throat.
A bloody and brutal aura rose from the murderer's body and diffused in the room. Between his fingers covering his face, two crazy scarlet auras shot out.
At the same time, in a certain bedroom of the castle, a figure sat upright from the bed as if frightened, and two light blue flames lit up in the darkness.
"This direction is... such a tyrannical and terrifying aura!" The figure whispered to himself, "At first, I thought the bloody smell on his body was brought by the doctor's profession... I am old, I really misjudged my eyes! Unexpectedly, Our Dr. Stan is not a little sheep, but a big bad wolf! Do you want to tell them? Forget it, let's not tell them, how fun it would be! Hehe... "
The soft slang words slowly dissipated in the room, and the figure lay down on the bed again, breathing evenly. In the other room, Qin Lun had already reached his limit, on the verge of his sanity collapsing.
"Damn it, I'm hallucinating again. Someone did it on purpose, on purpose!" A beast-like growl rolled out of Qin Lun's mouth.
"This is impossible, no, Joey... this is not a hallucination we have experienced!" Qin Lun's tone changed and he struggled hard.
"Leave it to me, leave it to me!" The roar sounded again.
"No, this place is very weird, you will fail, you will die!" Qin Lun knelt on the ground, holding his head, and slammed the floor frantically.
"Let me do it! Ah..."
"No, let me do it! I promise, I promise!"
"Bang bang!" There was a rapid knock on the door.
"Doctor Stan, are you inside?" Jason's voice sounded from outside the door.
"Remember, you have to remember, you promised, you promised..." Qin Lun's body stiffened slightly, and the low growl in his throat slowly subsided.
"Butler Jason, please forgive me, I knocked over some things just now!" Qin Lun slowly stood up from the ground, his face was already pale.
"Ah? Do you need me to ask someone to come in and clean it?" the old butler asked suspiciously.
"No, no need, I've already cleaned it up, so I don't need to bother you!" Qin Lun replied resolutely.
After dismissing the old housekeeper, Qin Lun took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, turned around again, and looked at the desk by the wall with complicated eyes.
On the desk, a crumpled post-it note was quietly laid flat on the table, with several names and place names written on it. Between these words, there are some random black lines, as if they were scribbled by children.
This is exactly the letter that was torn apart by Qin Lun and thrown into the cliff during the storm!
However, the letter now not only shows no signs of damage, but also no signs of being wet by rain. It's just that at the bottom of the letter paper, there is a line of delicate handwriting.
"Please save us!"
