"Boom!" The sky above the castle was cloudy, and with the flash of light in the clouds, a dry thunder exploded out of thin air.

"Push, push it away!" The castle's stone bridges were already crowded with people, and thick gates kept the townsfolk with torches out.

"Squeak~~" The thick deadbolt made a screeching sound, and fine cracks slowly appeared on the surface.

"Bang!" The deadbolt finally snapped in two, and the townsfolk poured into the castle courtyard like a torrent. The neat lawn only lasted for a while, and then it blended with the soil.

"Levi, am I doing something wrong!" Holy Healer Toti sighed and turned to look at the mayor of Odia beside him.

"No, Totti! Albert Castle has not had a single exorcist so far, and Dr. Stan is right, it seems that the epidemic in the town is indeed related to the Alberts. Otherwise, Nova and the others would have appeared in front of the door by now to stop everyone. ”

The middle-aged mayor shook his head with a wry smile, "We people don't have the power of exorcists, we can't stop the Albert family, we can only mobilize the townspeople to help Nova and them." ”

"Alas, I only hope that Albert Castle will survive this turmoil." Holy Healer Totti sighed helplessly, "You and the other mayors and sheriffs try to restrain the townspeople so that they don't hurt the innocent castle servants. ”

"My little Wellington, you should be fine!" The angry and distorted faces around her made Catherine feel both familiar and unfamiliar, and she was a little nervous to clamp~ tighten her arms to protect her chest, and staggered forward with the flow of people.

The innkeeper herself did not expect that when she heard that the source of the epidemic was Albert Castle, and that her little lover had not yet returned, she was so worried that she rushed out of the inn to join the townspeople in denouncing Albert Castle.

By the time Catherine came to her senses, she had already appeared in the courtyard of Albert Castle, surrounded by Audia civilians who had lost their minds.

During this period of time, the epidemic situation in the Odia area has become more and more severe, and the death toll has finally exceeded 1,000, and more than 2,000 people are struggling to the brink of death, accounting for more than 15% of the total population. In other words, one out of every six people in the Odia region dies or is about to die.

This proportion has allowed the epidemic to spread to almost every civilian family in the Odia region, and it can be said that everyone in the Odia region feels the imminent death in the body of the sick relative.

At this time, even the most gentle Audia civilians feel that their sanity is crumbling, and their hearts are full of madness and tyranny. And just as everyone was on the verge of collapse, they heard the news that Albert Castle was the source of the infection.

In fact, no one has explored the truth of this news at all, and in their hearts they have long believed this rumor. After all, more than a year ago, the two strangers had died of illness in the town after visiting Albert Castle.

As soon as the news spread, scattered crowds appeared on the central road of the small town of Odia, holding torches and slowly moving in the direction of Albert Castle. The small team grew into a torrent in just a few dozen minutes, and was joined by countless civilians from nearby towns along the way.

Qin Lun lifted the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the banquet hall and smiled slightly at the torrent rushing into the courtyard of the castle.

"As a master of human genetics, the first time I saw that dark green blight virus, I knew it wasn't a germ. Its role is not to make people sick, but more like a modification, a modification of genes. Qin Lun put down the curtains, turned around and said with a smile.

"Human genes?!" There was a trace of confusion on everyone's faces, they were not doctors, and there was no concept of human genes in this era.

"Oh, by the way, you don't know what genes are, let's just think of them as the source of life." Qin Lun pinched his nose in embarrassment, and continued to explain, "The reason why those epidemic patients die is because the power to transform the origin of life belongs to the immortal force, and the body elements of ordinary humans cannot support it until the transformation is successful, and they will eventually die due to the exhaustion of their vitality. ”

"If, Lord Stan, the epidemic virus is an undead plague that modifies the human body, as you say, then ...... There will be at least one modder! Lima, with silver hair and golden eyes, looked at Baron Albert with a gloomy gaze.

"Well, Lima, you're right, there's at least one transformer!" Qin Lun smiled and raised a finger, "At that time, I accepted Baron Albert's invitation just to help me track down this transformer. However, upon meeting Master Miller, I immediately realized that this remodeler was likely to be a member of the Albert family......"

"Dr. Stan, your judgment is too arbitrary, isn't the plague on Miller the work of some servant?" Maier frowned and asked, "It could also be that his mother, Mary Witch, did a failed experiment." ”

"Hehe, it's really possible, so I played a little trick at the time!" Qin Lun said with a smile.

"I wiped all the glass test tubes in my medicine box clean and sprinkled a small amount of stone dust. Human fingerprints are actually unique, and since the modder made Miller sick, there was nothing he could do. I think it must be curious about the potion that can cure the disease, and I want to get its fingerprints so that I can catch it. ”

"No wonder they were so active in taking our glasses that day, it turned out that they wanted to compare some fingerprints!" Boni's face darkened, he looked at his palm carefully, and muttered softly.

"Did you get its fingerprints?" When Lady Nova heard this, she couldn't help but ask, and even Baron Albert's face moved, and her eyes glanced in a certain direction.

"I got it! In fact, it was very impatient, and the day after I arrived at the castle, I got its fingerprints! Qin Lun sighed, "With the help of Frank, I compared the fingerprints of all the members of the Albert family, and the result was very surprising. ”

"Who's that transformer?" Lima clenched his fists tightly, his golden eyes cold.

He never forgot his father, who tossed and turned on his sickbed for two weeks in agony, and finally died of decay. The guardian power in the exorcist body vetoed the modification of the epidemic virus, and the strong body made Lima's father's death even more painful.

"I got my fingerprints at the time, but then Frank met the gargoyle and I became an exorcist, learning that there were witches and exorcists in the world, as well as Stephen Albert. This information made me realize that the truth is not so simple, and there are several other suspects! ”

Qin Lun spread his hands and said helplessly, "That fingerprint does not belong to any man in the Albert family, but to a young and beautiful young lady." Miss Laura, you've entered my room and touched my medical kit, haven't you? ”

"Laura? Miss Laura! There was a buzz in the hall.

"Yes...... Yes...... It's because I'm worried about Miller's condition! Laura lowered her head a little awkwardly and said softly, "I found a letter with words in your room, I thought it was a prescription, but unfortunately...... Blown away by the wind. And then ...... Flipped through your medicine chest. ”

"I don't blame you, I think it should be! When I first came to the castle, you showed your love for Miller and your doubts about me! Qin Lun said with a smile, "However, please also understand that at the beginning, this alone will not be able to dispel your suspicions. ”

Laura didn't say anything more, nodding silently.

"Just when my quest was getting bogged down, I was given the opportunity to enter the Great Maia Forest. At that time, I was thinking that Maia Witch is the group in the world that knows the most about undead power, and is the best at using it, maybe I can get a breakthrough from them! ”

Qin Lun slowly paced through the hall with his chin propped up, looked up and smiled, "In fact, our sacrifice in the Maiya Forest is worth it. The witch's notes I got from the witch's hut finally allowed me to string all the clues together and have a complete conjecture about the identity of the mysterious transformer! ”

"Do you mean my brother Stephen Albert, or Miller's mother, Mary Claire?" Bony looked at Qin Lun with burning eyes.

"Doctor Stan, no more!" Baron Albert glanced at Miller, who suddenly seemed to be more than ten years old, and said bitterly, "It was I who accidentally infected Miller with the undead plague when I was developing werewolves, and I will take all of it." ”

"Hehe, Your Excellency the Baron, you can't bear it, I won't ......"

"Doctor Stan, since His Excellency the Baron has already taken the blame......" Ms. Nova gritted her teeth, interrupted Qin Lun's words, and looked at the doctor with pleading eyes, "Everything that should have happened has already happened, the most important thing now is to stop the spread of the epidemic, why do you have to force it any further?" ”

"If it were possible, I wouldn't want to destroy a family of exorcists who have been guarding Odia for more than three hundred years." Qin Lun lowered his eyelids and said lightly.

"But the Firebather can be reborn! Only by identifying the culprit will there be a way to eradicate this catastrophe and at the same time avoid the same thing from happening again. Lady Nova, let me ask you again, did you become an exorcist to protect the Albert family, or to protect the tens of thousands of civilians in the Odia region? ”

"Okay, I'll just watch right here, and if you don't have a solid foundation for Albert's accusations, I won't let you go!" Nova blushed and yelled in shame.

"Lady Nova, I respect you as a veteran of the Odia region, but if you threaten Lord Stan again, you will be my enemy!" Lima raised his hand expressionlessly and tightened his black gloves.

At the same time, Andre and Jamie also stepped forward, standing on the left and right of Lima, and made their position clear with a straight face. At this time, even the two neutral exorcists took two steps closer to Qin Lun and looked at Nova vigilantly. As Baron Albert confessed to the crime, they also had to begin to abandon their neutrality.

"Nova, calm down!" Melyan put his hand on Lady Nova's shoulder and shook his head at her.

"Stephen and Witch Mary, who goes by the pseudonym Nina, are very suspicious, but they are not the mysterious modders. Perhaps even the mysterious transformer himself did not know what kind of Pandora's box it had opened! The expression on Qin Lun's face was extremely weird, and he said slowly.

"More than a thousand years ago, in the final battle between the Immortal Believers and the Undead Wizards, the Immortal Believers realized that neither the immortal power nor the immortal power should continue to exist, and they sealed the immortal power and immortal power in this world with their lives. Aside from the small number of undead potions remaining in the hands of witches, the world can no longer rely on faith and magic, giving birth to Immortal Believers and Undead Wizards.

However, the mysterious modifier of the Albert family used genes, which are the source of life, to create two creatures, including werewolves. Look at Jason, the old butler, who is a wise werewolf. The servants of Albert Castle here are obviously the wise of the two creatures.

The transformation of the Source of Life is different from the previous way of giving birth to Immortal Believers and Undead Wizards, and their children will inherit the undead power that breaks the seal directly from the bloodline. These people are neither magical nor contract creatures, they are two new humans! ”

When Qin Lun said this, his eyes shot a strange light, he suddenly turned around, and roared at the exorcists, "Don't you still understand? The mysterious transformer of the Albert family created not an undead plague, it discovered another way of giving birth to the undead, and stepped into the realm of the gods! The world's humanity will be wiped out as a result! ”

The banquet hall of Albert Castle fell into a dead silence, and Qin Lun's roar echoed in everyone's ears for a long time, and their brains went blank. Nova and Maier's faces slowly turned white, then to iron.

"Don't let any of them go!" Lima's icy voice sounded in the ears of all the exorcists, and the five exorcists behind Qin Lun quickly dispersed, surrounding the Albert family and all the castle servants.

"Nova ......" Maier looked at the overlord flower that was stunned in place, sighed, turned to Bony and said, "I'm sorry, Bony! ”

"You don't have to apologize to me, I'm an exorcist first, and then a member of the Albert family!" Boni's eyes darkened, and he shook his head firmly, "I will never forget the heroism of Jì Otto and Bligh in the face of evil, and I will not forget my oath!" ”

Bony ripped off the bandages on his face, revealing half of the blood tendons, revealing his white bones, like a ghost-like face, slowly walked to the corner of the encirclement, and pulled out the double swords on his waist and pointed at the original family.

"It seems that the Albert family will at least have the last bloodline left!" Mel sighed softly and was about to take a step, only to find Nova silently walking past him, walking towards the encirclement with a blank face.

With the addition of the three Boni, except for Qin Lun, the remaining eight exorcists finally reached a unity again. The prospect that the doctor had painted for them was so terrible that even Nova and Bony could no longer sit idly by. As Bony says, regardless of their status, they are first and foremost exorcists who have sworn to protect the human world.

Baron Albert slowly raised his head, the cold light in his eyes condensed like substance, stared at Qin Lun deadly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Doctor Stan, I am also an exorcist. I just want to know, is there any truth in your accusations about the mysterious Transformer? ”

"Of course there is!" Qin Lun grinned and nodded elegantly, "When I became an exorcist, I found out from the Odia Exorcist's oath that not every member of the Albert family is an exorcist, at least half of Albert's name is not on the oath, and that mysterious transformer is one of them.

How could a family of exorcists who had sworn to protect the Odia region for thousands of years not be exorcists?

The only explanation for my suspicion is that these members are guarding the Odia region in another form, and they are the original origin of the two new creatures, and the core of the Albert family's battle against the Maian Witches.

Each generation of Baron Albert entered into servant contracts with these members, becoming another form of summoner. Of course, the contract with the undead also cost them dearly, not only canceling out the guardian power, but also shorter lifespans than ordinary humans. ”

Hearing this, the exorcists present were all moved in their hearts, and the situation that Qin Lun told was indeed the truth. It's just that everyone has never doubted this aspect, and they simply think that the physique of the members of the Albert family is special.

"I don't know when the mysterious reformer of the Albert family could no longer tolerate the death of the servants around him, so he turned the transformation that was originally only for Albert members to ordinary castle minions. Of course, these minions themselves do not have the blood of the Albert family, and many of them cannot be successfully transformed, which is the main reason why some werewolves do not have intelligence. ”

A flash of realization flashed in Boni's eyes in the corner of the encirclement, and he remembered the old man who had returned to his human form after death. According to the doctor, the old werewolf was supposed to be a former castle servant as well.

However, for an unknown reason, it decided to transform the underage Miller into an undead. However, it was such an important makeover, and it was wrong.

The reason is simple, Miller has not only the blood of his father Stephen, but also the blood of his mother Nina, and Nina is an out-and-out Maian witch - Mary Claire!

Stephen's bloodline is biased towards immortal power, and Mary's bloodline is biased towards immortal power, both of which have been sealed and cannot be unlocked at all. However, the mysterious Alterant is both a member of House Albert and an immortal, possessing both powers.

By chance, it unlocked the seal on Miller's body.

Perhaps, even it didn't realize that there was a flaw in the unbreakable seal left by the Immortal Believers, and this flaw was it!

However, these two conflicting forces were too great, so big that Miller was sick! For this ridiculous reason, the Witch Mary revealed the identity of the undead.

On their way to Maiya Forest with their husband and son, they were hunted down by Baron Albert. Witch Mary died instantly, and the heart core was poached by another Witch Mesa who was tasked with monitoring the outer perimeter of the forest, which nearly wiped us out in the Witch's Hut.

Witnessing his mother being killed by his grandfather and his father being transformed into a werewolf, Miller falls as soon as he returns to the castle. Since then, he has been in a coma in bed, and the blood veins in his body that have not yet fused began to produce immortal plague gas with his breathing.

However, the Albert family could not ask for help from the exorcist organization, so they had to ask for treatment from ordinary doctors one after another, and infected them with the undead plague, and finally broke out in the current heavy epidemic.

Mary Witch is dead, and Stephen turns into a werewolf and is imprisoned on the ground floor of the military sub-fort. Baron Albert and Bony are exorcists, and it is impossible to have immortal power in their bodies. Miller has immortal power in him, but he's a victim, and he's not the mysterious transformer.

Hehe, in this way, there are only two members of the Albert family who did not appear on the Exorcist Oath and lived in Albert Castle for many years! One of them was Miss Laura......

However, based on another piece of evidence I have, I believe she is not that mysterious transformer!

The mysterious modder of the Albert family...... It's you!

The undead princess of the Albert family - Elizabeth Albert! ”
