Chapter 37

"Doctor Stan, please forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the plunge! You weren't originally a townsfolk in the small town of Odia, nor were you an exorcist. Why did you notice these two pieces of information about the Albert family in the witch's notes? ”

Ms. Nova interrupted Maier's words with a wave of her hand, and frowned at Qin Lun, who closed his eyes and recuperated. Although she has a rough appearance, she is more rugged than men, but her mind has a delicate mind that is unique to women, and it is no accident that she can become one of the leaders of exorcists in the Audia region.

While everyone else was shocked by the information recorded in the witch's notes, Lady Nova remained cautious and sane, quickly figuring out the only irrationality that the two pieces of information suggested.

The two shocking pieces of information, one of course, were about the surname of the Witch Mary Claire, which was the name of Stephen Albert's wife. Of course, there is nothing in this information itself, there are many people with the same name and surname in this world, not to mention that only the surname and the first name coincide.

However, the second piece of information had to make the exorcists, who knew the inside story of the epidemic infection, suspicious of the Albert family. In the second piece of information, the Maian witch named Meisha recorded an incident that happened at the edge of the Maiya Forest a year ago.

At that time, a young couple with a little boy was chased and killed on the edge of the Maiya Forest. One of the pursuers was suspected to be Baron Albert, and in the end, the female of the young couple was killed, and the young man and the young boy were taken away.

The reason why Witch Mesa noticed this at the edge of the forest was because the woman who was killed was similar to Witch Mary, who disappeared more than ten years ago. And the other two new creatures in the Chaser also aroused her strong interest.

The exorcist knew from the description in the notes that one of the creatures was a werewolf raised by the Albert family. The other creature resembles a gargoyle, with batwing wings and sharp claws, magical creatures that witches have never seen.

The Maian Witch can use magic to restore her true self as she was when she was young, as all exorcists know. Therefore, if a certain Mayan witch falls in love with Stephen Albert, the eldest son of the Albert family, it is nothing, at most it is just a scandal, and the Alberts will expel the witch.

But this piece of information was recorded just over a year ago. In the aftermath of this incident, two outlanders in the small town of Odia were infected with the disease. The identities of the two strangers were unknown to the townspeople, but the exorcists in the Odia region knew that they were two court physicians from the Duchy of Maiser, who had come to treat Miller Albert.

In other words, the exorcists actually know that the epidemic in the Odia region first broke out at Albert Castle.

However, most of the exorcists' doubts about Albert's castle are only fleeting and buried in their hearts. After all, the Albert family is the core of the exorcists in the Odia region, and has long been at the forefront of the battle, and is respected by everyone.

And now...... Stephen Albert's wife is a witch? Albert Castle actually has two magical creatures, in addition to the known werewolf, and is secretly developing other magical creatures?

What does the Alberts want to do? Is the plague in Miele related to Albert's research into magical creatures? Could that Mary Witch be the Albert family's contact with Maia Witch? Is Baron Albert's organization of exorcists from the Odia region to enter Maia Forest just a superficial cover-up?

A large number of questions filled the minds of all the exorcists, they were not stupid, and these two pieces of information immediately hooked the doubts that were buried deep in their hearts at first. The perception of the past and the information in front of them conflicted, and for a while, many people could not adapt to it.

Hearing Ms. Nova's question, Qin Lun opened his eyes and looked at this "big lady" with a meaty face, and the appreciation in his eyes flashed.

It is not important that the content of the intelligence is authentic, what matters is whether the person who provided the information is reliable or not. The conclusions of the intelligence are also not important, what matters is whether the process of reaching the conclusions is reasonable.

Nova's question is actually to ask Qin Lun, these two pieces of information, it is not surprising that we exorcists can see the problem at a glance, but how do you, an outsider, know these inside information? To know the name of Stephen's wife, as well as the changes that happened to the Albert family more than a year ago, belong to the privacy of the Albert family.

Unless you have ulterior motives, how can you, a doctor, care about this!

This is through the appearance, to the root of the problem!

However, since Qin Lun dared to highlight these two pieces of information and add fuel to the fire, of course he would not be stumped by Ms. Nova's question.

"Lady Nova, I am a doctor and have no interest in the secrets of the Albert family. But......" Qin Lun lightly glanced at the exorcists with doubts on their faces, "On the way to treat Miller, I found that he is different from the plague patients in the small town of Odia, it is not the plague virus that threatens Miller's life, but ...... Long-term nutritional deficiencies lead to weakness! ”

"Doctor Stan, what do you mean......" The Holy Healer beside Qin Lun looked moved.

"Yes, before receiving my treatment, Miller had been ill for more than a year, and the epidemic virus in his body had reached a balance with a substance. He is the root of the disease in the Odia region! Qin Lun nodded and said affirmatively.

"Part of why I knew about Stephen and Nina was because I consulted with the Albert family to get some blood samples from them to use to refine the vaccines against the disease. But now it seems that the Albert family would have had a similar medicine a long time ago, otherwise they would have been infected with the epidemic long ago after they had been with Miller for so long! ”

"Hmph, no wonder the Albert family would rather invite a general doctor than let me, the holy healer of the Odia region, treat Miller!" The Holy Healer sneered, "Now do you believe it? I told you a long time ago that the plague was not an ordinary disease, but an immortal plague! ”

"The undead plague?" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he turned his head and asked.

"The Undead Plague is a living virus that has been added to the power of the undead, and it is a plague weapon developed by witches, the main purpose of which is to reduce the huge population of ordinary humans!" Maier glanced at Qin Lun and the Holy Healer, and explained softly, "Actually, when the epidemic first appeared, some of us suspected that it was an undead plague developed by witches, but we didn't expect that its root really came from ...... Albert Castle! ”

Undead plague?! The new clues that appeared were like a bolt of lightning slicing through Qin Lun's mind, and he suddenly remembered the dark green substance that seemed to be a living creature in Frank's vomit on the first night he had just entered this world.

No, the last piece of the puzzle is missing! Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, he finally connected all the fragmentary clues, and now only one core was missing, a key point for all the truth to be revealed.

"Ms. Nova, we must act before the command is given by the headquarters, or it will be too late!" Maier said with a gloomy look.

“…… Well, I agree to return to the castle and confirm the authenticity of these two pieces of information! Nova glanced at Qin Lun deeply, "However, after all, the Albert family is the core of the Audia exorcists, I hope everyone can keep a cool head, and Mel and I will negotiate with the baron alone!" ”

"No need for you! Let me ask my father, and I will prove the innocence of the Alberts! Suddenly, a low voice came from the door of the tent.

The exorcist in the tent of the "Bony ......" looked at the blonde youth who suddenly appeared in amazement.

"Bony, you need to get some rest! In any case, you have proved your innocence with heroic battles, and I am sure that Baron Albert will give us a reasonable explanation when you return to the castle! Ms. Nova stood up and said solemnly.

The blonde youth, whose face was covered with white bandages on half of his face, swept around the exorcists in the tent, and the anger and unwillingness in his blood-red eyes sprayed on everyone's faces like blazing flames. His gaze paused on Qin Lun for a moment, and then he resolutely turned to leave.

The young and strong body fell down, as if it had aged a lot in an instant, and the figure under the bonfire seemed so lonely and lonely.

"Lord Bony, remember what you said to the corpses of Otto and Bligh?" Qin Lun suddenly opened his eyes and asked lightly.

Boni paused, his shoulders trembled slightly, he didn't look back, and the cold words seemed to pop out from between his teeth: "Of course I remember, Bony Albert was an exorcist first, and then a member of the Albert family!" ”

"Let's all go back and get ready, and we'll leave for Albert Castle at once!" Maier waved his hand at all the exorcists in the tent with a straight face, "The witch's backup will soon arrive in this area, and until then, we must exit Maiya's forest!" ”

The exorcists came out one after another, and the expressions on their faces were very heavy. For more than three hundred years, Albert Castle has been the leader of the Odia exorcists, and countless exorcists of the Albert family have died in battles with the Maian witch and evil creatures. The thought of having to question the Alberts' loyalty to the duties of the exorcists made them feel no more relaxed than Bony's.

The exorcists in the tent quickly disappeared, leaving only the seriously injured Qin Lun and the holy healer who took care of him.

"Alright, Dr. Stan, you're a lot stronger than I thought. The wounds are all bandaged, take a rest, and we're about to leave later! The Holy Healer patted Qin Lun's intact left shoulder, smiled and comforted, and turned around to go out.

"Wait a minute!" Qin Lun suddenly grabbed the sleeve of the Holy Healer's roof and said sincerely, "Maybe I can't understand the respect that other exorcists have for the Albert family, but I know that once the undead plague breaks out, tens of thousands of human civilians in the entire Odia region will be turned into corpses......"

"What do you want to say? Haven't you already made a decision? The Holy Healer's eyes flickered and he turned his head away, not looking at Qin Lun's eyes.

"They are all warriors, and they value honor more than their own lives. They have the courage to sacrifice, but their respect for life has become more and more cold. After the outbreak of the undead plague, the region of Odia will be full of dead corpses, and it may even spread to the entire Principality of Mine and the entire continent! Qin Lun said with a gloomy face.

"In this camp, only me, you, the Holy Healer, truly understand the power of the undead plague! Questioning the Alberts is not the point, we must immediately find the key factor that kept Miller from dying from the undead plague, the immune substance that can balance the power of the undead! Even if...... Sacrifice the Albert family for this......"

"What do you want me to do...... Holy Healer shook his hands and looked at Qin Lun in horror, as if he had reacquainted himself with this new exorcist doctor with excellent medical skills.

"I want to ask you to ......" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned into the Holy Healer's ear, and whispered.
