Chapter 57: Punishment

Views:

"Doctor Stan, please forgive me! You were not originally a townsman in the town of Odia, nor an exorcist. Why did you notice these two inside information about the Albert family in the witch's notes?"

Ms. Nova interrupted Maier with a wave of her hand, and frowned at Qin Lun with closed eyes. Although she has a rough appearance and is rougher than a man, she has a delicate mind unique to women. It is no accident that she can become one of the leaders of the exorcists in the Odia region.

When everyone else was shocked by the information recorded in the witch's notebook, Ms. Nova still maintained a cautious and rational attitude, and quickly found out the only irrationality reflected in these two information.

Of these two shocking pieces of information, one of course is about the surname of the witch Marie Claire, which is the name of Stephen Albert's wife. Of course, this information itself is nothing. There are many people with the same name and surname in this world, let alone the overlap between the first name and the last name.

However, contacting the second intelligence, the exorcist who knew the inside story of the epidemic had to be suspicious of the Albert family. In the second information, the Maya witch named Meisha recorded a small incident that happened at the edge of the Maya forest a year ago.

At that time, a young couple and a young boy were hunted down at the edge of the Maya forest. One of the pursuers was suspected to be Baron Albert. In the end, the woman among the young couple was killed, and the young man and the little boy were taken away.

The reason why Witch Meisha noticed this incident at the edge of the forest was because the woman who was killed was very similar to Witch Mary who disappeared more than ten years ago. And the other two new creatures in the chaser also aroused her strong interest.

The exorcist knew from the description in the notes that one of the creatures was a werewolf raised by the Albert family. Another kind of creature is very similar to a gargoyle. It also has bat wings and sharp claws. It is a magical creature that witches have never seen.

All exorcists know that Maia witches can use magic to restore their youthful appearance. Therefore, if a Maia witch fell in love with Stephen Albert, the eldest son of the Albert family, it would be nothing, at most it would be a scandal, and the Albert family would just expel the witch.

But this piece of information was recorded just over a year ago. After this incident, two foreigners were infected with the disease in the small town of Odia. Ordinary townspeople don't know the identities of the two foreigners, but the exorcists in the Odia area know that they are two court physicians from the Principality of Meiser, and the purpose of coming here is to treat Miller Albert. sick.

In other words, the exorcists actually knew that the disease in the Odia region first broke out in Albert Castle.

However, most of the exorcists' doubts about Albert Castle were just fleeting and buried in their hearts. After all, the Albert family is the core of the exorcists in the Odia region. They have been at the forefront of the battle for a long time and have been respected by everyone.

And now... Stephen Albert's wife is a witch? There are actually two kinds of magical creatures in Albert Castle. Apart from the known werewolf, are other magical creatures still secretly being developed

What does the Albert family want to do? Is the disease on Miller related to the Albert family's research on magical creatures? Could it be that Witch Mary is the contact between the Albert family and the Maya Witch? Is it just a superficial cover-up that Baron Albert organized the exorcists from the Odia region to enter the Maija Forest

A lot of questions filled the minds of all the exorcists. They were not stupid. These two pieces of information immediately aroused the doubts buried deep in their hearts. The cognition of the past and the information in front of them conflicted with each other, and for a while, many people were unable to adapt.

Hearing Ms. Nova's question, Qin Lun opened his eyes, looked at this "big lady" with a swollen face, and the admiration in his eyes flashed away.

The authenticity of the intelligence content is not important, what is important is whether the person providing the intelligence is reliable. The conclusion of the intelligence is not important, what is important is whether the process of reaching the conclusion is reasonable.

Nova's question was actually to Qin Lun. It's not surprising that we exorcists can see the problem with these two pieces of information at a glance, but how do you, an outsider, know these inside facts? You must know the name of Stephen's wife and the changes that happened to the Albert family more than a year ago, all belong to the privacy of the Albert family.

Unless you have ulterior motives, how can you, a doctor, care about these things!

This is to go straight to the root of the problem through the appearance!

However, since Qin Lun dared to highlight these two pieces of information and add fuel to the flames, of course he would not be stumped by Ms. Nova's question.

"Ms. Nova, I'm a doctor, and I'm not interested in the secrets of the Albert family. But..." Qin Lun lightly swept around the puzzled exorcists, "On the way to treat Little Le, I found that He is different from the plague patients in the small town of Odia, it is not the plague virus that threatens Miller's life, but... the weakness caused by long-term undernutrition!"

"Doctor Stan, what do you mean..." The lay healer beside Qin Lun changed his expression.

"That's right. Before accepting my treatment, Xiao Le had been ill for more than a year, and the disease virus in his body had reached a balance with a certain substance. He is the root of the disease in the Odia region!" Qin Lun nodded , said with certainty.

"As for why I know part of the things about Stephen and Nina, it's because I specifically consulted members of the Albert family and wanted to get some blood samples from them to refine the immune vaccine for the disease. But now it seems that The Albert family has already had similar medicines, otherwise they would have been infected with the disease if they had been with Xiao Le for so long!"

"Hmph, no wonder the Albert family would rather invite ordinary doctors than let me, a lay healer in the Odia area, treat Miller!" The lay healer sneered, "Do you believe it now? I have told you As I said, that plague is not an ordinary disease, but an undead plague!"

"Undead plague?" Qin Lun asked with a flash of his eyes.

"The undead plague is a living virus that has added undead power. It is a plague weapon developed by witches. Its main purpose is to reduce the huge population of ordinary humans!" Maier glanced at Qin Lun and the lay healer, and explained softly, " In fact, when the plague first appeared, some of us suspected that it was an undead plague developed by witches, but we didn't expect that its origin really came from... Albert Castle!"

Undead plague? ! The new clues flashed across Qin Lun's mind like a flash of lightning, and he suddenly remembered the dark green substances in Frank's vomit that wriggled like living things on the first night he just entered this world.

No, the last piece of the puzzle is missing! Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly. He finally connected all the fragmentary clues together. Now there is only one core missing, a key point that makes all the truth come to light.

"Ms. Nova, we must act before the headquarters gives orders, otherwise it will be too late!" Maier said with gloomy eyes.

"... Well, I agree to return to the castle and confirm the authenticity of these two pieces of information!" Nova took a deep look at Qin Lun, "However, the Albert family is the core of Odia's exorcist after all, I hope Everyone can keep a calm head, and Meyer and I will negotiate with the baron alone!"

"I don't need you! Let me ask my father, and I will prove the innocence of the Albert family!" A deep voice suddenly came from the door of the tent.

"Bonny..." The exorcist in the tent looked at the blond youth who suddenly appeared in shock.

"Bonny, you need a good rest! No matter what, you have already proved your innocence with your heroic battle. I believe Baron Albert will give us a reasonable explanation after returning to the castle!" Ms. Nova stood Standing up, he said solemnly.

The blond young man with half of his face covered in a white bandage swept around the exorcists in the tent. The anger and unwillingness in the blood-red one-eyed sprayed on everyone's faces like a blazing flame. His eyes paused on Qin Lun, then he turned and left resolutely.

The young and strong body bent down, as if he had aged a lot in an instant, and the figure under the campfire looked so lonely.

"Your Excellency Boni, do you still remember what you said to the corpses of Odo and Bligh?" Qin Lun suddenly opened his eyes and asked calmly.

Bonny's footsteps stopped, his shoulders trembled slightly, he didn't turn his head, and the cold words seemed to come out of his teeth: "Of course I remember, Bonny Albert was an exorcist first, and then he was an exorcist." A member of the Burt family!"

"Everyone go back and get ready, we'll head back to Albert Castle right away!" Maier waved at all the exorcists in the tent with a straight face, "The witch's backup will arrive in this area soon, where In the past, we had to exit the Maya forest!"

The exorcists came out in a file, with serious expressions on their faces. For more than three hundred years, Castle Albert has been the leader of the Odia exorcists, and countless exorcists of the Albert family have died fighting Maia witches and evil creatures. They were not much more relaxed than Bonny at the thought of having to question the Albert family's fidelity to their duty as exorcists.

The exorcists in the tent quickly disappeared, leaving only the seriously injured Qin Lun and the lay healer who took care of him.

"Okay, Dr. Stan, you are much stronger than I imagined. The wounds are all bandaged, take a rest, and you will be leaving later!" The holy healer patted Qin Lun's intact left shoulder, and comforted Qin Lun with a smile , Turn around and go out.

"Please wait a moment!" Qin Lun suddenly grabbed the lay healer's sleeve and said sincerely, "Maybe I can't understand the respect other exorcists have for the Albert family, but I know that once the undead plague breaks out , tens of thousands of human civilians in the entire Odia region will be turned into corpses... "

"What do you want to say? Haven't everyone already made a decision?" The lay healer turned his head away with flickering eyes, not looking into Qin Lun's eyes.

"They are all warriors, and they value honor more than their own lives. They are brave enough to sacrifice, but their respect for life is becoming more and more indifferent. After the undead plague breaks out, the Odia area will be full of dead bodies, and it may even spread to the entire Principality of Meyser And the whole continent!" Qin Lun said with a gloomy face.

"In this camp, only me and you, the lay healer, truly understand the power of the undead plague! Questioning the Albert family is not the point, we must immediately find the key factor that prevents Miller from dying from the undead plague. The immune substance that balances the power of the undead! Even if... the Albert family is sacrificed for this... "

"What do you want me to do..." The lay healer shook his hands and looked at Qin Lun in horror, as if he had reacquainted with this new exorcist doctor with excellent medical skills.

"I would like to ask you..." Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned into the ear of the lay healer, and whispered.
