The team left the forest, and it was almost afternoon. Before night fell, they finally saw Albert Castle at the end of the cliff. Compared with most of the more than twenty people at the beginning, the current team of exorcists has only nine people left.
Among them, seven members died, including five exorcists, as well as Frank and the human-turned werewolf, and the rest were some seriously injured. The bodies of the seriously injured and the exorcist were directly transported to the small town of Odia. Most of the remaining nine people, including Qin Lun, had serious injuries, but they did not affect their lives.
In front of the stone bridge of Albert Castle, the old butler Jason was leading the servants in the castle to welcome him. Albert Castle was condescending, and they had already noticed the arrival of the exorcist.
"Ms. Nova, Doctor Stan, welcome back!" The old butler saluted respectfully, and called the servants to serve the nine wounded exorcists. "We have prepared hot water and food for everyone. Once you arrive at the castle, You can eat right away."
"Is the Baron in the castle now?" Bawanghua waved his hand wearily.
"Well, the Baron is waiting for everyone in the castle!" The old butler turned to Qin Lun in the carriage and said in a good mood, "Doctor Stan, I have some good news for you. Young Master Miller woke up the day before yesterday Yes, your potion has worked, and the young master's health is recovering."
"Oh? This is really great!" Qin Lun's heart moved, and he nodded with a smile.
After the old housekeeper walked away, Ms. Nova suddenly took two steps behind and came to the side of Qin Lun's carriage, looking at the doctor uncertainly.
"Doctor Stan, you have treated my nephew Morrison in the small town of Odia, and now you have cured Miller. Is it really impossible to control the epidemic in the Odia area?"
Qin Lun looked at Bawanghua expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Through the research on the epidemic disease during this period, I have a general understanding of the epidemic virus. Even without the immune substances mastered by the Albert family, there are still ways to control the epidemic. The spread only requires the exorcist organization to pay a great price!"
"What kind of price?" Nova asked hastily, her eyes lit up.
"Doctor Stan, if you can control the spread of the epidemic without forcing the Albert family, I believe everyone present is willing to contribute." Maier and the other exorcists who were next to them heard the conversation between the two, They all lifted their spirits and stared at Qin Lun in unison.
"Give me more than thirty holy spirit potions within three days!" Qin Lun stretched out three fingers lightly, "In this case, I have the confidence to control the epidemic in the Odia region."
"Doctor Stan, are you blackmailing us?" Maier's face darkened and his face stretched.
"Mayer! I believe Dr. Stan doesn't mean that!" Nova stopped the angry Maier calmly, and asked in a deep voice, "But...Dr. Stan, you just came into contact with the Holy Spirit Potion this morning, why are you so sure about it? It will get rid of the disease virus!"
Qin Lun glanced at the exorcists around him, and found that their faces were full of anger. He sighed softly, took out an empty bottle the size of a thumb from his pocket, and threw it to Overlord Flower.
"This is the main ingredient of the potion I used to treat Morrison and Miller! Smell it!"
"In it... there seems to be a breath similar to the holy water of longevity!" Nova put the vial under her nostrils, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Let me see!" Maier frowned and took the vial, just took a sniff, then nodded and said, "The breath left in it really looks like the holy water of longevity!"
Of course, what Qin Lun handed over was the vial containing the World Tree flower dew, but it was empty now. The world tree dew contains a huge amount of vitality, and it is actually a substance with very similar attributes to the holy spirit potion. These exorcists themselves are very familiar with the "life" attribute power, so they can smell it immediately.
Qin Lun asked them to provide thirty Holy Spirit Potions, but he didn't just talk about it, and he didn't simply blackmail them. If these exorcists really took out thirty holy spirit potions, he would give up this alien mission without saying a word, and return directly to Broken Starry Sky when the time for staying was up.
The reward for the foreign world mission is two thousand broken crystals and one broken rule fusion crystal. Two thousand broken crystals are equivalent to the selling price of two holy spirit potions, and one broken law crystal is valued at five to ten holy spirit potions by Qin Lun.
Qin Lun didn't estimate it casually, this broken law crystal was actually used in the Maier crystal ball.
There is Frank's soul in the Maier crystal ball, and Qin Lun's stay in this world is only a few days left. It is difficult to find a suitable body for Frank in such a short period of time, so he can only bring the Maier crystal ball into the Broken Starry Sky. For this, one must obtain a Fragmentation Law Crystal, making the Maier crystal ball a special equipment that the apostles can use.
If there is no broken law crystal, it means that Qin Lun must mobilize huge manpower and material resources to find a suitable body for Frank in just a few days. At this stage, only the Exorcist organization meets this requirement, which means that Qin Lun needs a lot of points, which is why he valued the Shattered Law Crystal as five to ten holy spirit potions.
In other words, the apparent price for Qin Lun to give up the alien mission was seven to twelve holy spirit potions.
And this has not yet calculated the world exploration rewards attached to the alien mission, the possibility of upgrading to a planetary level, or even a star-level plot mission, and the 30 points of life soul deducted after Qin Lun failed the mission, and even Frank The danger of possessive failure.
Therefore, Qin Lun asked these exorcists to provide more than 30 holy spirit potions to make up for the loss of abandoning the alien mission. It really cannot be regarded as blackmail, but a very reasonable exchange condition.
"The epidemic virus has the attribute of immortality. Although I can concoct a potion to cure the disease, the prerequisite is to add substances with the attribute of longevity. My own bottle of potion has already been used up, and the holy spirit potion is eligible for replacement." Qin Lun saw Glancing at the exorcists around him, he said lightly.
"According to the scale of the current spread of the epidemic, a large number of potions prepared by diluting 30 holy spirit potions can possibly control the reinfection of the disease patients. But please note that this is only the minimum dose, and it may be necessary later Add the holy spirit potion. Otherwise, Odia will be full of dead bodies, and even spread to the entire Meize Principality."
Nova and Maier's faces turned ashen, and the exorcist who heard Qin Lun's words also fell silent. Through the comparison of the holy spirit potion, they finally realized a little bit about the serious situation after the epidemic spread.
"I know that everyone respects Baron Albert very much, and feels very disgusted by questioning the Albert family!" Qin Lun said indifferently, "But you are all exorcists, and you have sworn to protect the human world. The members of the Albert family who killed tens of thousands of civilians in the Odia area, I am afraid that you will be even more ashamed to face those sacrificed ancestors of the Albert family."
"Everyone, if the Albert family really has the medicine to resist the epidemic virus, I will ask my father to hand it over directly!" Boni's voice came from behind the crowd, and the blond young man with a bandage on his head was exorcising the demons. The man bowed and saluted, "Please don't embarrass Dr. Stan anymore!"
Boni's face no longer had the indignation of the morning, but instead showed a hint of determination. Qin Lun's words just now also touched him a lot. The respect of the Albert family is not due to the achievements of this generation of Baron Albert, but due to the achievements of previous generations of Albert's ancestors.
If Baron Albert really did something wrong, then other members of the Albert family should naturally take the lead in correcting the mistake, blindly covering it up will only cause more damage.
Nova, Maier and other exorcists fell silent. Since even Boni thinks so, they have nothing to say. After this little episode, the exorcist's aversion to Qin Lun was eliminated a lot. At least he no longer ignored him like before.
The corner of Qin Lun's mouth twitched, and he suddenly realized that his use of language was still very immature. If it wasn't for Overlord Hua Nova's casual question, without the comparison of the holy spirit potion, I'm afraid he would always be on the opposite side of these exorcists.
And what he is doing now is actually beneficial to the Odia region, and does not conflict with the fundamental position of the exorcist. To be misunderstood after doing good deeds is simply an insult to the masters of psychology.
The team passed the stone bridge and entered Albert Castle. Baron Albert had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
"Ms. Nova, Your Excellency Maier, Dr. Stan... you are finally back. Please go back to your room and rest, I will let the servants deliver the food to your room. When you recover your spirits tomorrow, tell me about it. The result of this reconnaissance operation!"
Perhaps it was because of Miller's waking up that Baron Albert was in high spirits. It's just that he didn't notice the exorcists under the steps of the hall, but they all had a weird look on their faces, and even Boni didn't cater to the baron.
Baron Albert didn't notice anything. He had already noticed that there were only nine exorcists left. He thought that everyone was mourning the sacrifice of their companions, and did not respond to him.
The exorcists quickly dispersed back to their rooms. Since yesterday, everyone has not rested for two days and one night. In addition to the pain on their bodies, they have really reached their limit.
Under the guidance of a maid, Qin Lun also returned to his room. After entering the room, he threw himself into the big bed and fell into a deep sleep.
However, he didn't know that at this time, the window of the guest room facing the cliff was windless and automatic, and a white phantom figure floated into the room gently, standing in front of the bed, staring at him quietly.
Qin Lun, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the white figure expressionlessly.
"Ma'am, what should I call you? Mary Witch... or Nina Albert?"
