The white figure standing in front of Qin Lun's bed was a little illusory, and his face was blurred, much like a 3D projection with extremely poor image quality. Seeing the doctor sit up from the bed unhurriedly, the white figure floated backwards for some distance before regaining its steady.

"Dr. Stan, have you learned my identity?" A surprised female voice sounded in Qin Lun's mind.

"When I was in the cemetery, I was aware of it. This time following the exorcist into the Maiya Forest, we got a note in the Witch Mesa Witch's hut with a note about you! Qin Lun said with a flat face, "What's the matter with that Mary Albert's tombstone?" ”

"That tombstone isn't a real thing, it's just an image I conjured!" The white figure sighed softly, "Originally, I wanted to arouse your curiosity and come to you without alarming that person, but you later joined the exorcist, so I didn't dare to come to you again!" ”

"Then why are you coming to me now? Have you started trusting me again? Qin Lun tucked the pillow behind his back to make himself more comfortable, "What should I call you?" ”

"Mary Claire has died since marrying Stephen, please call me Nina!" Nina tilted her head and said calmly, "You saved me and Stephen's baby, I should come to thank you!" ”

"Now there are a lot of exorcists in the castle, aren't you afraid that I will hand you over to them?" Qin Lun habitually narrowed his eyes.

"Hehe, my spirit body is almost gone, I came here this time just to thank you, nothing else matters!" Nina covered her mouth and chuckled, not caring about Qin Lun's threatening words.

"Spirits? Isn't that your magic? Qin Lun frowned slightly, and asked in surprise, "You really ...... more than a year ago"

"Magic? Hehe, I died a year ago! As if hearing a little joke, Nina couldn't help but shake her head, "As a witch, my soul is connected to the core of my heart. If the heart core is broken, then my soul will also dissipate very quickly. My body died more than a year ago, but for some reason, I feel like my heart core has only been shattered in the last two days! ”

"I only broke my heart core in the last two days...... I see! Qin Lun raised his eyebrows.

He suddenly remembered the Witch of Mesa, who had two heart cores, and it seemed that her second heart core must be Nina. Although the Witch of Messa recorded the events of more than a year ago in the surveillance notes, she concealed the process of obtaining the second heart core, presumably to avoid being spied on by other witches.

After Nina's heart core was shattered, she didn't disappear immediately, and her soul still survived to this day, so to speak...... Qin Lun frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"After thanking you, my wish has been fulfilled, and after dawn, I'm afraid it will disappear." Nina's ghost tugged at the hem of her skirt and bowed, "Doctor Stan, I wish you a smooth future so that I won't disturb your rest!" ”

"Wait a minute, Ms. Nina, can you answer some of my questions?" Qin Lun came back to his senses and hurriedly called Nina's ghost.

"Of course, you can ask!" Nina was slightly stunned and turned around again.

"From the notes of the Witch of Mesa, we have found that Baron Albert hunted you down with two magical creatures more than a year ago." Qin Lun thought for a moment and then asked.

"However, apart from mentioning your death, the note does not record the situation of Stephen and Miller. I've seen Stephen's grave, it's empty, and Miller's plague is supposed to have been contagious at that time. What I want to ask is, is your escape related to the Alberts' discovery of your identity as a witch? Is Stephen alive or dead now? What is the epidemic that Miller is contagious? ”

“…… I can't tell you that these are secrets that belong to the Albert family! Nina was silent for a long time, then finally sighed and shook her head, "Although Baron Albert let Miller lose his parents at the same time, it is the duty of the Albert family for generations. Miller ...... Always rely on the Albert family! ”

"You're saying that the Alberts didn't break their duties as exorcists?" Qin Lun asked lightly.

"Of course! Baron Albert may have killed me, but I don't blame him. Nina said helplessly, "A thousand years of duty, a thousand years of protection, a thousand years of glory, this is the family motto of the Albert family, but it is too heavy!" ”

"And what about Stephen? If Stephen wasn't dead, wouldn't you want your husband to be freed? He's not an exorcist after all, so there's no need to make sacrifices for it! Qin Lun's eyes flashed, after Xiaole was saved, Nina had no desire or desire, and he changed his tentative direction.

Stephen ...... My Stephen can't come back! Nina looked sad.

"Lady Nina, one last question. For more than a year, why didn't you seek help from others? For example: Stephen's sister, Miss Laura, she also cares about Master Miller! Qin Lun asked lightly.

"The place where I died was just across the Cockscomb River, near the edge of the Maiya Forest, and I couldn't get too far from it!" Nina said lightly, "As for Laura...... I don't want to disturb her life anymore! ”

"Dr. Stan, it's time for me to take my leave, thank you again for saving my son!" Nina turned and floated out the window.

"Lady Nina, don't you want to see Miller and Elizabeth again before they disappear?" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly.

Nina's white figure trembled slightly, but she didn't stay any longer, and floated out of the window.

This time, Qin Lun didn't keep Nina's ghost again, he knew that if he continued to ask, he was afraid that there would be no more results. Although he wanted the answer, Qin Lun had already heard a lot from Nina's words.

The contents of Witch Mesa's notes have been confirmed, and Stephen's wife is indeed a Maia witch. From this, the second piece of information in the note is also credible, and Baron Albert did hunt them down with two magical creatures, and killed Nina, bringing back Stephen and Miller.

Although there is no evidence, Qin Lun believes that Nina is not lying, and the Albert family should not deviate from their duties as exorcists. However, the clues to Stephen's life and death, as well as the cause of Miller's illness, have been cut off.

Qin Lun leaned on the soft pillow and closed his eyes in contemplation. Nina's appearance, although it didn't make all the truth come to light, but he was not disappointed. Nina didn't know that the doctor didn't actually hope that she would give a direct answer, but confirmed some of his conjectures from her reaction.

"Bang Bang!"

"Dr. Stan, are you awake?" A knock on the door woke Qin Lun from his sleep.

"Wait a minute!" Qin Lun shook his head and pulled out the pillow behind his back, he found that he was still sitting at the head of the bed, not lying down, it seemed that he fell asleep directly last night in the process of thinking.

"Hula, hula!" The curtains at the back of the room fluttered in the breeze, and the windows and doors were wide open.

Qin Lun stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the big forest on the other side of the cliff. The air outside the window was a little stuffy, and it didn't seem to rain last night. The sky was cloudy, and the low and gloomy feeling was a little oppressive.

It was getting close to evening, and it looked as if he had slept all day. There was still some pain in my chest and shoulders, but it was much better than yesterday, and it looked like the Holy Spirit Elixir was working well.

"Gollum!" As consciousness struck, a feeling of extreme hunger came from his belly.

Qin Lun closed the window, walked to the coffee table in the room, picked up a few pastries and stuffed them into his mouth. These were the food that the maid in the castle had brought to his room last night, and he fell asleep before he could eat it.

"Butler Jason, what time is it?" He asked, smiling, opening the door.

"It's the evening of the second day you're back at the castle!" The old butler held back a smile and explained kindly.

"Did I sleep all day and night? Looks like I'm causing you a problem! Qin Lun said apologetically, "Ms. Nova and them, they should have gotten up a long time ago!" ”

"Hehe, they didn't have much earlier than you, most of them slept until the afternoon and woke up, it seems that you have a lot of work this time!" The old butler said politely, "The dinner is about to begin, and everyone is gathering in the hall. Are you too injured to be there and need food to be brought to your room? ”

"No, there could be a storm tonight, and I don't want to be alone in my room!" Qin Lun said meaningfully.

"Oh, well! It's hot and humid these days, and there is a real chance of a storm at night! The old butler smiled and said, "Please come with me, and I will take you to the banquet hall!" ”

"Butler Jason, if you quit your job at Albert Castle one day, what would you want to do?" Qin Lun followed behind the old butler with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked with a smile.

"Huh? I didn't think about it, why do you ask that? The old butler was slightly stunned and asked strangely.

"Nothing, just ask!" Qin Lun shook his head indifferently, "How many years have you served the Albert family?" ”

"This ...... It's been almost thirty years! Jason sighed with emotion, "I don't know what to do if I leave the castle!" ”

"Hehe, you are such a loyal steward!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he asked casually, "Miss Elizabeth and Young Master Miller should have grown up watching you!" ”

"This ...... Yes, Master Miller has been very well-behaved since he was a child, but fortunately you cured him! The old butler hesitated for a moment, then said gratefully.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the banquet hall. The banquet hall still takes the form of a buffet salon, where everyone can enjoy their own wine and food.

Qin Lun swept around the hall and found that Baron Albert had not yet arrived, and the exorcists such as Lady Nova and Maier were already present, while Bony was sitting alone in a corner of the hall with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. The exorcists sat in the surrounding salon with wine glasses in hand, and the atmosphere was a little dull.

"Hehe, we're late, please forgive me!" Baron Albert appeared at the door of the hall, with Miss Laura standing beside him, as well as Miller and Elizabeth, and the Albert family was all present.
