Chapter Forty-Six: The Immortal Princess

"Dangchang!" The iron lock smashed against the solid corridor with a loud noise, startling many of the intruders in the secondary fort.

"Hey, open the iron fence quickly, check the last layer, and we'll go out immediately, the mayor is still waiting for everyone." A middle-aged townsman covered his nose with a frown, "It stinks so much here!" ”

There were many ferocious beasts imprisoned in the prison sub-fort, and with few doors and windows, there was animal feces and body odor everywhere. Although the main fort and the four sub-forts of Albert Castle have been invaded by the townspeople, the sub-fort of the prison only has all kinds of filthy cells and torture instruments, and ordinary townspeople just check the lower floors and do not go deeper, and directly exit the sub-fort.

The townsfolk who are still in the sub-fort of the prison and insist on inspecting all the cells are the security teams led by the magistrates of each town. Their mission is to prevent ordinary townspeople from harming the innocents in the castle, to minimize damage to Albert's castle, and to gather evidence and antidotes for Albert's crimes.

"Hey, look! This is...... What's the matter, the wolf, this is also ...... Too big, right? Opening the barricade of the stairway leading to the top of the iron prison, the first few townsfolk to enter looked in shock at the creatures in front of them.

"I'm afraid this is the magical creature that Totti's healer said......" The two sheriffs of the vigilante looked at each other and swallowed as they watched the majestic werewolves.

"Let's be lighter, these werewolves are probably anesthetized, don't alarm them!" The sheriff gently instructed all the townspeople.

"Sir, there are living people here!" A townsman who had walked to the end of the iron prison suddenly suppressed his voice and beckoned to the two sheriffs.

This cell, which came out of the innermost cell, contained a human with iron collars around his limbs and neck. The man sat on his knees, his head bowed, his face obscured by a mess of hair, but judging by his size and exposed skin, he was supposed to be a young man.

"Sir, he's alive!"

"Go open the cell door and get him out!" The two sheriffs looked at the iron prison with angry faces, "The Albert family really has an ulterior secret!" ”

The exorcist family raises magical creatures, which makes it a little unpleasant for the two sheriffs who know the inside story of the exorcists, but the Odia region is on the front line against evil creatures, and they can forgive this practice.

However, if there is a living person in the cell, the nature is different. The imprisonment and trial of the living should belong to the secular regime, which is equivalent to the Albert family encroaching on the jurisdiction of the two magistrates, which of course causes their anger.

After a long struggle, several townspeople finally used a crowbar to break the iron collar that had locked the young man and helped him out of the cell.

"Hey, why do I feel like he's a little familiar?" A sheriff brushed the young man's blond hair and turned to look at his companion in disbelief.

“…… Who are you? The young man suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice.

"We are the sheriffs of Odia and are collecting the crimes of the Albert family!" Another sheriff crouched in front of the young man and comforted him softly, "Young man, you are safe now, sue me, how can you be imprisoned privately by Baron Albert, and who are you?" ”

"Collecting the crimes of the Albert family? I am...... Who? The young man's face suddenly showed a look of pain, and he trembled and held his head in his hands and leaned on the ground, "Albert...... Who am I? ”

"Hey, he'...... I know who he is! The sheriff, who had been frowning and pondering, suddenly widened his eyes and pointed at the young man as if he had seen a ghost, "He is...... Baron Albert's eldest son, Stephen Albert, I attended his funeral! ”

"I'm ...... Stephen Albert?! My Nina...... No, Mary! ......Hearing Stephen's name, the young man suddenly stopped trembling, muttered to himself and straightened his upper body, his originally confused eyes slowly cleared.

"I remembered...... I remembered it, haha, it turns out that I'm still alive, and that old guy is not willing to kill me?! Stephen's face was ecstatic, "It's a pity Nina...... Hehe, what's that, aren't there other witches in the Maiya Forest? ”

"Stephen, since you are Stephen, do you remember what happened more than a year ago? Is there an antidote to the kind of undead plague developed by Baron Albert? The two sheriffs looked at each other and asked in surprise.

"It was a little over a year ago...... Has it been more than a year? No wonder I'm so hungry! Stephen glanced at his thin hands, looked up at the two sheriffs and a few other townspeople, and smiled meaningfully, "I don't know what the undead plague is, I just know that I'm hungry, really...... Thank you for letting me out! ”

In the dim light of the hallway, Stephen's shadow on the wall swelled sharply and rushed towards the sheriff.

"Ahh You...... What are you? Save...... Help me! "From the top floor of the sub-fort of the prison could be heard the screams of the sheriff and the townspeople.

……

Surprised, stunned, confused, dignified...... Many expressions appeared on the faces of the two groups of people facing each other in the banquet hall, but only the parties accused by Qin Lun looked indifferent.

Called Albert's immortal princess by Qin Lun, Elizabeth, who was wearing a princess dress, still had a sweet smile on her round and snow-white face. The little princess played with her curly blonde hair with her chubby fingers and took two steps forward with the doll in her arms.

"What a wonderful reasoning! Dr. Stan, I think an exorcist like you, even in the last centuries of more than three hundred years ago, would be enough to become the chief of staff of the Exorcist Legion. Elizabeth winked playfully at Qin Lun, "It's just that I still have a question, can you answer me truthfully?" ”

As soon as Elizabeth said this, all the exorcists had a look of shock on their faces. Although they had already believed Qin Lun's inference in their hearts, it still made everyone feel unbelievable when they were confirmed from the mouth of a seemingly young girl.

"My little princess, if you have any questions, just ask!" Qin Lun nodded with interest.

He didn't mind delaying any longer, and although the gates of the main fort were very strong, they probably wouldn't last long in front of the thousands of townspeople. His mission was accomplished, and he had no interest in the most likely battle, leaving Albert Castle while the chaos was the best option.

"Hee-hee, Dr. Stan, you just said you had another piece of evidence that ruled out Laura's suspicion!" Elizabeth pursed her lips, sucking on her chubby fingers, and said with big eyes fluttering, "Can you sue me, what kind of evidence is it?" Little Elizabeth feels like she's in good disguise! ”

"Oh? This one! Qin Lun frowned, spread his hands and said, "Actually, it's better that you don't know!" Because...... Even without that proof, your disguise sucks! ”

"Say! If you don't say it, Elizabeth won't let you go! The girl shook the doll angrily and waved her little fist viciously.

"Well, let's talk about the conclusive evidence first!" A smile appeared on Qin Lun's face, "Do you remember the first night I came to the castle, after dinner, I bumped into you on the women's wall outside the castle?" ”

"Of course I remember, it seems to be raining one day!" Elizabeth tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Don't you suspect that I'm immortal because I'm not sick because I'm in the rain?" ”

"Hehe, of course not!" Qin Lunwan smiled, "It was only after I became an exorcist that I found out that something was wrong that night!" You told me the Albert family motto that night, right? ”

"A thousand years of duty, a thousand years of protection, a thousand years of glory!" Elizabeth lowered her eyelids and said in a stern tone, "Is that it?" ”

"Well, yes! You said then, this is what your father said! Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he said with some solemnity on his face for the first time.

"After becoming an exorcist, I learned a few things about Stephen from Bony. It seems that you don't like to fight, and he doesn't have any interest in becoming an exorcist. Although Nina's identity was revealed more than a year ago, as her husband, I believe that Stephen should have learned about this fact before you, otherwise Nina would not have fled to Maia Forest with him!

And if Stephen had learned Nina's true identity a long time ago, then the problem would have been. He doesn't like to fight, he doesn't want to be an exorcist, and he even hides the truth that his wife is a Maia witch, how can such a descendant of Albert talk about the family's family motto of the exorcist? ”

Elizabeth made a bitter face, her eyebrows furrowed, she seemed to already know what Qin Lun would say next. Sure enough, Qin Lun glanced at her meaningfully and continued to smile and continue.

"So I suspected that your father wasn't Stephen Albert! And when I saw the portrait of the first Baron Albert in Albert's Library, and the family motto at the bottom of the portrait, I knew who your father was! ”

Qin Lun bowed gracefully to Elizabeth, "Please accept the respect of a junior exorcist for your father, the first Baron Albert, Lorenzo Albert, is a role model for all of us exorcists!" ”

"You guessed it! Forget it, don't pretend to be polite anymore, I'm starting to hate your cleverness! The smile on Elizabeth's face finally disappeared, she sighed helplessly, and waved her hand weakly, "Anything else, are there any flaws?" ”

"Yes, a lot! However, compared to this speculation, it is all small details! Qin Lun nodded honestly, "If you finish asking, I also have questions for you!" I don't know ......."

"Are you trying to ask why I became an immortal?" Elizabeth calmly closed her big eyes, as if caught in a long memory, "It's okay, I'll sue you!" My father once said that if I get tired one day, I don't have to worry about the Albert family anymore, and I can tell the world all this qiē! ”
