It took two and a half days for the team of exorcists to enter the Maiya Forest until they found the clue to the witch's hut. However, because the team did not move from the outside to the center of the forest, but in a circle outside, it would not take them another two and a half days to withdraw from the forest.

After Qin Lun returned to the camp, the long night had just passed, and the dawn had already appeared on the horizon. The team had no intention of resting in the camp, and several wagons were emptied to transport the seriously wounded and corpses.

Exorcists don't just bury the corpses of their companions in the forest, and for witches, the corpses of exorcists are the best material to study. In order to avoid defiling the corpse, whenever possible, the exorcist will bring the corpse back to the human world for burial, otherwise it will be cremated.

Qin Lun was covered with a blanket and leaned against the wall of the car, his face was so pale that there was no blood. It's not that the doctor is pretending, he is already very badly injured, and after a night of self-hypnosis, now when he relaxes, almost his bones are scattered.

Unlike when he first entered the forest, on the way back, no exorcist came to him to take the initiative to talk, and his expressions were a little distant.

Come to think of it, it's also easy to understand. It's like a new colleague from a business department in a modern company, who is enthusiastic and diligent, polite and thoughtful, and everyone has a good impression of him. But in a blink of an eye, he reported the work mistakes of the department leader to the company, but this department leader is usually quite respected. Although what the department leader did this time was really not authentic, the seller's good popularity was gone, and everyone would definitely stay away from him.

Qin Lun didn't care what others thought of him, he wasn't originally from this world. After thinking about it, he reached into his arms and took out a tube of golden reagent to check it out.

"Elixir of the Holy Spirit: Elixir of Immortality (Pseudo). This is a healing potion imitated by the exorcist organization to imitate the elixir of immortality, and the first time you take it, you can always increase a small amount of qi, blood and mana, depending on the individual's physique. The main purpose is to heal injuries and continue life, expel negative statuses, and cancel out continuous damage, and cannot be used for necromantic creatures. Can be brought into the Shattered Starry Sky at a sale price: 1000 Shattered Crystals. ”

A Thousand Broken Crystals! Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly, only two thousand broken crystals were required to complete the "exploration" task, you must know that the selling price is one-fifth of the price of huàn, in other words, the actual value of this thing should be five thousand broken crystals.

Sure enough, the effort is proportional to the gain, although Qin Lun narrowly escaped in the battle with the witch, the harvest is also very rich! Even the two tubes of the Holy Spirit Elixir that he drank and tricked, in fact, it was because he won the respect of the Holy Healer in the battle with the witch that people would come up with such a precious potion.

On this trip to Maiya's forest, the quest clues obtained are not mentioned for the time being, only the items that can be brought into the shattered starry sky. He got a total of ten moonlight grasses, a pair of magic eyes, a golden silkworm dust, and a tube of Holy Spirit Elixir, not counting the golden summoning scroll and the Holy Spirit Elixir he drunk.

Of course, there are still some unidentified items, in terms of the price sold to the Shattered Star, a total of 1900 Broken Crystals, and in terms of the actual value of the huàn, it is a full 9500 Broken Crystals, which is equivalent to the Broken Crystals reward of five satellite-level story missions.

Putting the Holy Spirit Elixir into the storage space, Qin Lun flipped his hand, and the evil dagger fell into the palm of his hand. During the battle with the witch, the Dagger of Sin stabbed into the heart of the witch. Surprisingly, the Witch Meisha did not die on the spot, but the Dagger of Sin slowly absorbed the undead power in the heart core.

In fact, the witch Meisha did not die from the devouring of the dagger of sin, after Qin Lun cleaned the witch's hut and used the Mya crystal ball to absorb Frank's soul, he found that the witch who had been skinned by Joey as a skeleton angel had turned into a pile of ashes, as if she had died of serious injuries.

As for the Sinful Dagger, which absorbed most of the witch's power, there was also a slight change.

Sins (dagger)

Faction Type: Killing Relic (Chaos Evil)

Relic Quality: 34 (Ten Slash)

Weight: 215 grams

Length: 230mm

Equipment ability: Soul Eater (Killing Relic Special Skill). It can absorb the soul power of the victim, as well as the attribute power of the same faction. Autonomous Soul Eaters are low-tier creatures, and cannot exceed the third order at most. Under certain conditions, if the enemy loses the ability to resist, it can devour the soul power of some mid-level creatures.

The original soul quality of the Sin Dagger was 12, but now that it has absorbed the witch's immortal power, it has risen to 34, a full 22 more souls. It can be seen that the Meisha witch usually kills a lot of living beings, and carries a lot of soul energy on her body.

After the quality of the relict was greatly improved, the black edge of the dagger was even more graceful, and the whole dagger was like a living thing. Qin Lun held the evil in his hand, only feeling that every inch of the blade from the hilt to the tip of the blade seemed to be the flesh and blood on his hands.

Half a day later, the team of exorcists finally broke away from the Great Maia Forest and appeared by the Cockscomb River. All the exorcists felt a sigh of relief in their hearts, and in the second half of the way home, in fact, some of the most intuitive exorcists had already sensed that a great danger was approaching the team, and it felt like a man's back.

Everyone understands that this may be the backup sent by the Maiya Witch, and if the time drags on for another half a day, they will have to be tested again.

After leaving the forest, the team of exorcists dispersed again, and some of the seriously injured needed to be well rested, and they could no longer make the bumpy journey to Albert Castle, and had to go to a nearby town for treatment.

Totti, the only healer in the team, also wanted to leave, and he was very resolute. Although he was not injured, he had nothing to say under the pretext of taking care of the other wounded.

In fact, Lady Nova and Maier are reluctant to leave Totti, who is not a combatant, but each of them has a high status in the Exorcist Order. If he coordinated, as long as the Alberts did not deviate from the fundamental principles of the exorcists, they believed that things could still be resolved smoothly.

Looking at Totti's departing back, Qin Lun's eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking. The healer eventually agreed to his plan, just as Lady Nova and Mel, the exorcists, were unaware of the severity of the contagious disease. Totti, a non-combatant, also didn't realize how much of a storm was brewing in Qin Lun's seemingly simple plan.

"Doctor Stan, you're seriously injured too, do you want to come with Totti!" Ms. Nova walked up to Qin Lun and said lightly.

Overlord Flower's favor for Qin Lun had been lost at first, and she had a hunch that it would be better to let the doctor follow them to Albert Castle, and if things would not be cleaned up, it would be better to send him away now.

"Ms. Nova, the weather is a bit muggy, and there may be heavy rain at night!" Qin Lun raised his head and said in a non-answering manner.

"Isn't it normal to have storms this season?" Nova frowned, glanced at Qin Lun, and said lightly, "If you have to go to Albert Castle with you, I hope you can shut up and let me negotiate with Maier and Baron Albert!" ”

"Lady Nova, the storm does not depend on the will of man!" Qin Lun gently closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The psychology of Overlord Flower and Maier and others, Qin Lun understands very well. These exorcists have always fought side by side with Albert Castle, and they have a comradeship that is thicker than water. At the slightest possibility, they all wanted to exonerate the Alberts.

What's more, this age is different from a thousand years ago, and witches are no longer the number one threat to the human world. In the eyes of Nova and others, as long as the Albert family did not violate the fundamental principles of exorcism, other mistakes could still be forgiven.

However, Qin Lun knew very well that if his guess was correct, then these exorcists and the Albert family might not be able to reach an understanding.

Qin Lun's mission to the other world is actually a secret that the Albert family cannot explain to outsiders, and the fundamental positions of the two sides are opposite. All along, he has been using various conditions and clues to investigate the privacy of the Albert family.

The witch's note was the best weapon Qin Lun had ever found, and it was evident from the leopard in the tube, and from Boni, he could fully imagine how powerful the Albert family was. Coupled with the connections they have, it is not something that Qin Lun can fight against at all. Therefore, he can only use the exorcist to get the desired results.

In fact, the information shown in the witch information is really not a big deal, even if Stephen does marry a witch, you must know that Stephen did not join the Exorcist organization. What can the Alberts do when they are developing magical creatures, there is no evidence that they have harmed other ordinary humans.

This is also the main reason why Nova and the others want to talk to Baron Albert first, instead of immediately using force against the Albert family. If it weren't for this imminent outbreak of the epidemic, without Qin Lun, Nova and the others wouldn't even come to the door like this, but would have reminded Baron Albert in a more subtle way.

The reason why the current urgent antagonistic situation has formed is completely caused by Qin Lun. However, at this point, the killer did not do anything wrong, or his position itself was not wrong, despite using all the people and information at his disposal.

The otherworldly mission given by the Shattered Star Sky is not a casual quote, even if it is just a novice apostle's guidance mission, there must be a historical and regional nature behind it, nothing more than the size of the affected geographical area and the length of the time span.

What Qin Lun is doing now, in addition to his own task, is indeed to prevent the spread of the epidemic in the Odia area.

Is the outbreak of Odia an immortal plague after all? Is there an intrinsic connection between this epidemic and the Albert family? What will the disease ultimately do to Odia, the Duchy of Maiser, and the world?

These questions are still unknown. Qin Lun caused the confrontation between the exorcist and the Albert family, and the most direct purpose was to complete the "exploration" mission about Stephen Albert. Of course, in the process, the answers to these questions will also be revealed.

As for the fate of the Albert family, it is actually not in the hands of Qin Lun, but in their own hands. Qin Lun just tightened the clockwork for the carriage of fate, waiting for the final moment to come.
