Chapter 8: Weird

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Stan, you're younger than I thought!" Laura Albert lifted the skirt of her whalebone skirt, leaned over slightly, straightened up and asked, "I heard that you removed a diseased organ from a townsman on the spot in the town square of Odia, right?" ”

Is this a question? Qin Lun's eyes flashed, although he couldn't see Laura's expression, he could feel the girl's solemn gaze hidden under the veil.

"Ahem, ahem!" Before Qin Lun could answer, a dry cough from the old butler Jason came from beside him.

"It's rude, please forgive me for my offense!" Laura was slightly stunned, and quickly noticed her question, which was a very impolite behavior for Qin Lun, "Thank you for what you did for Odia!" ”

"Please don't care, it's your responsibility as a doctor!" Qin Lun smiled and nodded.

Laura seemed a little embarrassed, and after apologizing, she immediately carried her skirt past the two of them and hurried away.

After Qin Lun rescued people in the town square, the townspeople talked about his miraculous pot of "magic potions" the most, but no one mentioned the operation he performed on the scene. It's also easy to understand that surgery in this era is not mysterious, and the townspeople don't find it strange that his surgery is a natural treatment for a doctor.

Why didn't Laura Albert care about his potion "World Tree Dew", but instead care about a doctor's most normal surgical operation?

What made this well-educated aristocratic girl give up her reserve, and before she even had time to change out of her outfit, she couldn't wait in the corridor just to ask for an obvious fact?

And also...... Thank you for what he did for Odia? For Odia......

Qin Lun looked at the girl's back, a faint smile appeared on his face, it seemed that there would be a lot of interesting things on this trip to the ancient castle.

……

"If there's anything else you need, be sure to let people know me!"

The old butler Jason sent Qin Lun into a large guest room and closed the door with some surprise. In the corridor just now, the little hostess's appearance made him, an old man who was usually strict with etiquette, feel very embarrassed. You must know that the etiquette of the children of the Albert family was taught by him from childhood to adulthood.

Although the old butler knew the reason for Laura's actions, he still felt a little blamed for himself. However, while blaming himself, the old man had an extra good impression of Qin Lun. The young doctor had been smiling with tolerance from just now to now, and he didn't even ask about the trivial things that he was suffering from.

This is a young man with excellent family education! Jason involuntarily gave an evaluation of a professional aristocratic butler.

After the old housekeeper left, Qin Lun turned around and looked at the VIP room he was in.

This room is very large, and as far as you can see, it is almost hundreds of square meters. In the center is a large double wooden bed with a brocade silk tent with a tassel knot hanging from the headboard, and two mahogany bedside tables, one of which is topped by a delicate glass lamp.

At the back of the room there are two small windows with double doors, and on the walls on either side are some decorative pastoral paintings. On the right side of the room is a small salon composed of several sandalwood chairs and a small coffee table, and at the back is a vertical luxury wine cabinet. On the left side of the room is a desk with letterheads, quill pens, and inkwells.

Looking at these elegant and heavy mahogany furniture, Qin Lun nodded slightly. The aristocratic family that can last for hundreds of years really has an extraordinary family background. These wooden furniture can be placed outside, and it is estimated that they are all valuable antique treasures. At Albert Castle, they are just ordinary furniture that is randomly placed in the guest rooms for the use of guests.

Qin Lun took a few steps forward, sat down at the desk, and pulled out a quill in the pen holder. Rubbing the soft bird feathers at the back of the quill, he slowly fell into deep thought.

Odia Town, Albert Family, Military Castle, Qin Lun dipped his quill in the ink cartridge with some ink, and wrote a few words on the sticky note stationery. After thinking about it for a while, he wrote the names of Thomas Albert and Laura Albert below these three words, and finally paused and wrote the name of Stephen Albert at the bottom.

"Bang Bang!" While thinking, Qin Lun's fingers tapped rhythmically on the tabletop, and the quill unconsciously drew a messy black line between a few words.

Suddenly, Qin Lun felt a cold wind blowing into the back of his neck, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps. He frowned slightly, turned to look, and saw a small double-door window on the back wall of the room, and the wooden window was blown by the cold wind and continuously hit the outer wall of the room, thumping.

Didn't the maid in charge of cleaning turn off properly? Qin Lun stood up, tore off the page of sticky notes with words written on them, and came to the window.

When he arrived at the window, Qin Lun was surprised to find that his guest room happened to be the side of the castle facing the Great Maiya Forest, and the outer wall of the castle under the window was connected to the cliff that stood upright at a ninety degree angle.

By this time, the sky had already darkened, and the darkness below the cliff seemed to be too thick to be resolved. The cold wind outside the window came with heavy moisture, and little drops of water splashed on Qin Lun's face, making him feel a chill.

"Is it raining?" Qin Lun wiped his face, casually tore the sticky note paper in his palm into several pieces, and threw it off the cliff.

In just over ten seconds after he closed the window, the lonely raindrops outside the room turned into a downpour. The rain and cold wind smashed against the wooden windows, as if there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a real knock on the door on the other side of the room, but combined with the darkness and the raging storm that he saw on the cliff outside the window just now, it made Qin Lun's heart palpitate slightly inexplicably.

"Doctor Stan, dinner is ready, Your Excellency Baron has asked me to invite you to your seat!" Outside the door came the voice of the old butler Jason.

"I'll come out now!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, he glanced back at the medicine box in the corner, and turned around and walked towards the door.

Behind Qin Lun, the closed window trembled slightly under the wind and rain. Rainwater slowly seeped in along the window frames, leaving a cloud of water stains on the windowsills.

"Crackle!" A bolt of lightning lit up in the wind and rain outside the window, illuminating the already empty guest room. In the flash of lightning, a strange palm print appeared on the water stain on the windowsill.

……

Qin Lun followed the old butler into the dining room of Albert Castle, the dining room was very large, there was a long dining table in the center, and several maids standing on the wall.

There were already several members of the Albert family at the table, and when they saw Qin Lun coming in, Baron Thomas Albert, who was sitting on the main seat, nodded at him, and the old butler took him to sit first on the left hand of the baron.

Opposite Qin Lun, sat a blonde young man with a face that resembled a baron. The young man was about twenty years old, with a sturdy physique and a heroic face. He only wore a white shirt with a V-neck on his upper body, and he was not wearing a formal suit, which looked a little wild and uninhibited.

On the young man's left hand, it was Laura Albert, whom Qin Lun had met. Although Laura was still wearing a whalebone skirt, she had removed her veil, revealing a quiet and serene melon seed face. As he expected, this girl with a pleasant and soft voice was indeed a standard beauty.

Opposite Laura, also Qin Lun's left hand, sat a little girl of seven or eight years old. The girl is wearing a princess dress, with silky blonde curly hair, and her complexion is snow-white, delicate as water, and she looks like a beautiful Barbie doll. At this time, she was staring at the strange young man beside her curiously, with a pair of beautiful big blue eyes.

Looking at the girl's fat face, Qin Lun suddenly remembered the little confusion who should still be in the Moonlight Forest, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch the tender flesh on the girl's face, showing a friendly smile at her.

The little girl didn't expect to be suddenly attacked by Qin Lun, her eyes widened, and she was a little overwhelmed and stunned.

"Hehe, it looks like our Dr. Stan likes little Elizabeth very much!" The old baron, who sat on the throne, let out a hearty laugh.

"Please forgive my offense, Miss Elizabeth!" Qin Lun looked at the young beauty with a smile, although his mouth was apologizing, but everyone in the restaurant couldn't feel his sincerity.

"I hate this body that hasn't grown up, everyone treats me like a child!" Little Elizabeth finally came back to her senses, glared at Qin Lun, and poked at the steak in front of her with a knife and fork in a huff.

The little guy's vicious movements, the milky voice, made everyone in the restaurant laugh.

Qin Lun held the wine glass and slowly looked at the people at the table. After a small episode between him and Elizabeth, the distance between the Albert family and him was much closer, and the orderly meal was interspersed with friendly conversations.

"Doctor Stan, forgive me for taking the plunge! Did you really take out the townman's infected organ in public and cure him in the town square? Halfway through the meal, the blonde young man opposite Qin Lun finally entered the theme.

It's another question about surgery! Qin Lun frowned slightly, whether it was Laura or Bony Albert, the baron's son, they all took the initiative to avoid the suspicious "magic potion", and only questioned the most ordinary surgical procedures.

Could it be that I have neglected something, or ...... Qin Lun's eyes flickered and he put down his wine glass!

"That townsman was only treated in a relatively timely manner, and he was infected with that strange epidemic for a short time, and the lesions in his body were all concentrated in one place, so he could be saved!" Qin Lun said cautiously, "In addition, I have an ancestral secret medicine at home, which seems to have a little special effect on suppressing this epidemic......

Listening to Qin Lun's vague explanation, the Albert family showed a confused look and glanced at each other.

"Thank you for your hospitality, I will continue to do my best to serve every citizen of Odia, I wonder what else Your Excellency has commanded?" Qin Lun's mind turned, he wiped his mouth, stood up and asked with a smile.

"Hmm...... You've just arrived at the castle today, and it's not early, so let's talk about it tomorrow! The old baron stopped talking, glanced in Qin Lun's direction, and replied with a smile, "If you don't want to rest yet, you can take a look around the castle." The view is very good, and from the top of the castle you can see the whole town of Odia in its entirety. ”
