Following Baron Albert into the Judgment Hall, Qin Lun realized that this place was already the top floor of the main castle. The roof is the spire of the tower, the hall is square, and there are large floor-to-ceiling windows inlaid with colored glass. The venue is empty except for the magic circles on the ground.
After entering the judgment hall, many exorcists had expressions of comfort on their faces, but Qin Lun was the only one who didn't notice it. However, he immediately felt relieved that when he signed the exorcist oath, the protective power on it did not have any impact on the body of the law, but a layer of "magic resistance" was condensed on the body surface, and now the longevity power of the Judgment Hall naturally has no effect. to him.
"Nova, Maier, you can talk about it now!" Baron Albert came to the center of the field and reached out his hand to signal, "What have you guys found in the Mayar Forest these days?"
"Let me tell you!" Maier glanced at Nova, and stepped forward to introduce the process of this reconnaissance operation.
There was nothing to say about the contact battle with the magical creatures in the first two days. Maier basically summed it up, focusing on the process from disagreement to unity of opinion, and finally divided into two teams to lure away the magical creatures and find the witch's hut, which also included The key battle for Odo's team to hunt down the witch.
Maier did not participate in the witch hunting battle, and mainly recounted the report after Bonny and Qin Lun returned to the camp.
"So, you made a major discovery in the witch's hut?" Baron Albert's eyes lit up, and he asked hastily.
Nova and Maier glanced at each other, and Maier took out the witch's notebook from his arms and threw it to Baron Albert. All the exorcists were silent, and their eyes focused on the Baron.
"... Are you suspecting that the Albert family has colluded with the Maya witch?" Baron Albert flipped through his notes in bewilderment, and soon noticed the two pieces of information specially marked out by Qin Lun, and his expression changed drastically. Surprised and angry.
"No, father, everyone did not suspect that the Albert family colluded with the Maia witch!" Boni, who had been silent all this time, finally raised his head and asked firmly, "However, I want to know why the werewolf you handed over to me, in After death, you will become a human!"
"It restored a human body!" Baron Albert frowned, but he didn't immediately make an excuse. He scanned the exorcist and said calmly, "Abel is not the only exorcist who drives inhuman creatures. Te family, I think you should have other questions, let’s ask together. I don’t want to answer one by one like a prisoner!”
Seeing Baron Albert's angry expression, the exorcists fell silent, and even Maier was too embarrassed to speak at this time.
"Let me ask. After all, I was the first to question the Albert family!" Qin Lun walked out from behind the crowd with a smile, and nodded towards Baron Albert.
"You? Dr. Stan?" Baron Albert looked at Qin Lun in disbelief.
"Your Excellency the Baron, in fact, you shouldn't be surprised. Don't you understand that any doctor who sees Millet just once will definitely have doubts?" Qin Lun sighed softly and shook his head, "Especially when you asked I've seen so many medicines 'left behind' by doctors."
"They... were not harmed by the Albert family, but..." Baron Albert was slightly embarrassed and said with some embarrassment.
"I know that they may all have died from the epidemic, not the Albert family's man-made harm!" Qin Lun nodded lightly, "However, any doctor can immediately deduce that he has been bedridden for a long time just by looking at Millet. It is definitely not a day or two to be infected with the disease. And the little guy has not died of the disease for such a long time, it is hard not to think that he is the source of the disease."
Baron Albert fell silent, his face was a little cloudy, and the angry expression at the beginning had disappeared.
"According to the records in the witch's notes, Stephen's wife is a Maia witch named Marie Claire, whose alias is Nina. And more than a year ago, it was you who led two magical creatures to kill Nina and took Stephen away." and Miller. Stephen disappeared and Miller was sick in bed until that strange disease broke out in Odia."
Qin Lun curled his lips and continued, "Humans turning into werewolves is really not the focus of our doubts! What everyone really wants to know is whether the plague in the Odia region is the undead plague that you leaked when you developed magical creatures? Millet got so sick. It’s been a long time, and none of the other Albert family members got sick, so do you have the medicinal items that are immune to the disease?”
"So you thought I used Nina's black magic to develop magical creatures, which led to the leak of the undead plague?" Baron Albert's face turned pale, as if he had been hit head-on, and he couldn't help taking two steps back.
"Thomas, everyone doesn't believe that you can use black magic to develop magical creatures, but you have to explain to us the cause of Miller's illness and what medicine you used to keep him alive for so long?" Ms. Nova stepped on Taking a step forward, he asked anxiously.
"Nova, even you..." Baron Albert took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his expression had calmed down.
"I have nothing to say. Werewolves are not magical creatures at all. I can prove it. As for Little Miller's illness, I can't explain it. I can only say that it is because of the special physique of the members of the Albert family. If you don't believe it , you can ask Bonny if he has taken any special immune medicine."
"This doesn't prove anything. You can mix that kind of medicine into Boni's diet!" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a light smile, "Of course, it's not impossible for you to prove your innocence. Since Xiao Le can survive until now , I believe his father, Stephen Albert, is still alive. As long as you can ask him to testify... "
"Wellington Stein, you are not qualified to ask me to do anything?" Baron Albert glanced at Qin Lun and said coldly.
Qin Lun smiled slightly, took a step back, and hid behind others again.
"Thomas Albert, in the Judgment Hall, the exorcists in the Odia region are no longer under your leadership, everyone is an equal brother." Maier slowly lowered his face, took a step forward, and stood in front of Qin Lun .
"What Dr. Stan says is our opinion!" Nova finally had a spark in her eyes, and slowly clenched her bowl-sized fist. The expressions of the other exorcists also changed, and they looked at Baron Albert angrily.
"So that's why you asked me to open the Judgment Hall..."
Baron Albert was in a daze for a while. He really didn't expect the exorcists to react like this. It seemed that the friendship of comrades-in-arms in the past was completely an illusion. In his opinion, it should be Qin Lun who was coldly stared at by the exorcist. Could it be that he, Nova and others have not reached true trust after decades of friendship
Qin Lun watched with cold eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Baron Albert's reaction was not surprising at all. When he first started questioning the Albert family, Nova and the others really raised their eyebrows and were unwilling to trust him at all.
You know, at that time, Qin Lun had just fought to the death with Witch Meisha, and he had also healed many exorcists in the team. It can also be seen from this that these exorcists have a deep relationship with the Albert family, and they will not easily betray each other.
However, it is different now. The epidemic that is approaching step by step has forced these exorcists to temporarily put aside their personal relationship with Baron Albert, and they have no choice but to protect the fundamental position of the human world.
"Father, you must explain everything to us in detail!" Boni said with a serious expression, "Because the disease patients appeared in Han, Sen, Xiao, Town!"
"Hansen town... Hanover area..." Baron Albert was shocked, his eyes swept across the people in front of him in a daze, as if he was trying to verify the authenticity of the news, and his expression quickly faltered.
"It's true! Thomas, tell us the truth!" Ms. Nova turned her head a little unbearably, "Maybe there is still a chance of redemption!"
"... Well, since you insist on knowing, then I'll tell you!" Baron Albert slowly raised his head, and walked toward the back of the hall expressionlessly, "The exorcists in the Odia region all have a cognition. Members of the Burt family are always prone to aging, even if they become exorcists, they only have the life span of ordinary people, but you never know why!"
"Thomas, is there any secret in this?" Ms. Nova's heart moved.
"That's right, not every exorcist in the Albert family is prone to aging, but only the contemporary baron!" Baron Albert smiled faintly, "It's just that the Albert family has not been very prosperous. The person in charge of affairs is always the contemporary baron, and it took you a long time to give you this illusion!"
The exorcists frowned slightly, lost in memory, and after thinking about it carefully, it was true. For this generation of Albert family members, Baron Albert aside, Bonny Albert has been wandering in other places, and only returned to Albert Castle after Stephen's accident.
Stephen Albert has never met other exorcists at all. Baron Albert's explanation to the outside world is that Stephen does not like fighting, and he has not been trained as an exorcist at all, so he does not need to intervene in the affairs of the exorcist . Now that I think about it, I guess there are secrets involved. As for Laura, Nina, Elizabeth, and Miller, the sense of existence is even weaker, and almost no one pays attention to their situation.
"Actually, every man in Albert's family, no matter what combat profession he started out with, will definitely become a summoner after he becomes a baron!" Baron Albert said softly, leaning on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"From that moment on, the longevity power we obtained must be used to maintain the survival of servant creatures, and can no longer bring any benefits to ourselves. The werewolf of the Albert family is not a magical creature, but a servant contract with us Humans. Those brothers and sisters who volunteered to protect the human world and dedicate themselves to the cause of exorcists!"
"Clang!" Baron Albert suddenly punched and smashed the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, jumped out of the window, and flew down.
