After the dinner, Qin Lun wandered around the castle with his hands behind his back.

It's night, but it's not yet time to lie down and rest. Originally, this time period should be the best time for the host to entertain guests for tea and chat. However, due to the questioning of Qin Lun by Baron's son Bony Albert at the dinner, it was obviously difficult for Baron Albert to invite guests to tea and chat.

Qin Lun's current identity is a doctor, and he also came as a guest as a curator of the epidemic. It is obviously not polite to bypass this topic, and to talk about this topic again, in the current situation, it is a bit of an interrogation, this is not the way of hospitality of nobles.

What's more, the Baron's family is not a doctor after all, and questioning someone else's field of expertise once can be called curiosity. Question it a second time, and even the most basic etiquette is lost. As a hereditary nobleman, Baron Thomas Albert could not do this.

Of course, the baron didn't know that his daughter, Miss Laura, had actually questioned Qin Lun once.

The interior of Albert Castle is very large, with the main castle connected to the surrounding four secondary forts by a suspended stone bridge over Guò. In contrast, there are not many Alberts and servants in the castle, and it is a bit depressed.

During the day, it looks majestic from the outside, but at night, this cliff behemoth looks a little eerie due to its lack of popularity. If there is a flock of crows nearby, and then croaking a few times, people will believe that it is a ghost castle.

Since Qin Lun was a guest of honor invited by the baron, and the host also said that he was allowed to visit, he could be said to be unimpeded in the castle. Of course, Qin Lun would not go to the master's bedroom and study to "visit" without knowing how to go.

He didn't go back to the guest room, he wandered around the castle, in addition to wanting to get acquainted with the internal structure and topography of the castle, naturally he had another ulterior purpose.

"How do I get to the female wall of the castle?"

Qin Lun remembered that the baron had said that he could see the whole picture of Odia from the height of the castle, so he couldn't help but stop a maid in the corridor and asked.

(The female wall he is referring to here is a battlement re-erected by Albert Castle on the outer wall of the castle, like a rampart corridor attached to the outside of the castle, located in the upper part of the main castle.) As for Odia, it refers not only to the town of Odia, but also to the human settlements in the area centered on the town of Odia. ）

After receiving the maid's guidance, Qin Lun quickly went through the corridors in Guò Castle and came to the outside of the castle's female wall.

At this time, the torrential rain outside the castle had stopped, and the cool breeze full of moisture blew Qin Lun extremely comfortably. The lights of several small towns at the foot of the mountain are dotted like stars in the sky, reflecting a peaceful and quiet moonlit night scenery.

"Is Odia beautiful?" A crisp child's voice came from the darkness.

"Huh?" Qin Lun turned his head to look and saw a small figure walking out of the dark corner of the female wall.

"Miss Elizabeth?" Qin Lun looked at the cute little princess of the baron's family with some surprise, "Isn't there a servant following you?" ”

"I don't need their care!" Elizabeth shook her head like a little adult, her face stern.

Qin Lun touched his nose and looked at this cute and beautiful little Lori with a smile, even with his indifferent heart, he had to admit that the little guy had the cuteness of turning all beings upside down.

"It's beautiful, but it's windy in here, and Miss Elizabeth should go back to her room and sleep!" Qin Lun squatted in front of the little girl and reached out to pull the little guy's arm.

"I don't want to sleep yet, can Mr. Stan let me ride it over my shoulder? I was too short to see the night view in the distance of Odia. Elizabeth puffed out her cheeks and unceremoniously made her request.

"Okay, but we'll go back when we're done, okay?" Qin Lun crossed his hands under Elizabeth's armpits and let her ride on his shoulders, but immediately raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Hey, why are you so cold and wet?" You've been drenched in the rain, haven't you? ”

"It's beautiful!" Elizabeth didn't answer Qin Lun, but opened her little arms like an adult, as if she wanted to take the whole of Audia into her little embrace, "Wellington, have you ever been drenched in the rain?" ”

"Miss Elizabeth, you should call me Mr. Stan!" The strangeness in Qin Lun's heart had reached an unparalleled level, but he still replied honestly, "I rarely get wet in the rain, and I don't like wet weather. ”

Whether it is a mental hospital or a Handan Prison for Heavy Punishment, as long as it is a rainy day, the originally small cell will be even more cold and damp, and Qin Lun will like to have ghosts on rainy days.

"Well, I can feel that you're telling the truth this time!" Elizabeth looked into the distance and muttered, "I don't like rainy days either, there is no sun on rainy days, I haven't seen the sun in a long time." Sometimes, I really want to stand here all night until I see the sunrise in the sky! ”

This time it's telling the truth! So which time was it a lie? Maybe this little guy will be a breakthrough!

Qin Lun's face darkened, his eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Miss Elizabeth, your family doesn't seem to believe that I can cure the epidemic?" ”

"Hee-hee, the only people who can protect Odia are the Albert family!" Elizabeth's childish laughter was delicate and pleasant, "My father once said that Odia is the duty of the Albert family for a thousand years, a thousand years of protection, a thousand years of glory!" No one can replace Albert to protect this land! ”

"That's a lot of responsibility! Is your father Lord Baron, or Lord Bony? Qin Lun smiled noncommittally, arguing with a little girl on such a topic was really boring.

"No, it's not them! Alright, let me down, it's time for me to go back to sleep! Elizabeth smiled and patted Qin Lun's head, "Thank you, Wellington, you are a good person!" ”

"Slow down, Miss Elizabeth!"

was actually issued a good person card by a little girl, Qin Lun watched helplessly as Elizabeth bounced and disappeared at the end of the aisle.

……

Not even an eight-year-old girl in this castle believed she could cure a disease! Qin Lun slowly paced towards his guest room while thinking.

No, if they really don't believe it at all, then they won't question the procedure. Since there are doubts, it means that the Alberts are not sure whether the surgical operation will be effective against the epidemic.

On the contrary, they did not question the potion spread by the townspeople, the "World Tree Dew", indicating that they did not believe that there was a cure for the disease. The family must know something inside, and may even know the ins and outs of the epidemic.

Also, Elizabeth said that she was not the daughter of the Baron, nor was she the daughter of Bony Albert, could she be the daughter of that person, Stephen Albert?

Qin Lun was thinking about it, and finally came to the door of his guest room.

Entering the room and closing the door again, Qin Lun subconsciously glanced at the empty room. When his gaze landed somewhere, the killer's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a pinhole.

"Gross!" Qin Lun bent over and retched in pain, dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't help but reach out to cover his face, and let out a low roar like a beast in his throat.

A bloody and brutal aura rose from the killer's body and spread throughout the room, and between his fingers covering his face, two crazy streaks of scarlet blood burst out.

Meanwhile, in one of the castle's bedrooms, a figure sat up straight from the bed as if frightened, and two pale blue fires lit up in the darkness.

"This direction is...... Such a tyrannical and terrifying aura! The figure whispered to himself, "Originally, I thought the smell of blood on his body was due to his profession as a doctor...... I'm old, and I'm really blind! Unexpectedly, our Dr. Stan is not a little sheep, but a big bad wolf! Do you want to sue them? Forget it, let's not tell them yet, how much fun it should be! Hehe~~"

The whispered slang slowly dissipated into the room, and the figure lay back on the bed, soon making an even breathing sound. In the other room, Qin Lun had already reached his limit and was on the verge of collapsing his sanity.

"Damn, it's hallucinating again, someone did it on purpose, on purpose!" A beastly low roar rolled out of Qin Lun's mouth.

"It can't be, no, Joey...... It's not an illusion we experience! Qin Lun's tone changed, and he struggled hard.

"Give it to me, give it to me!" The roar rang out again.

"No, it's weird here, it's going to fail, it's going to die!" Qin Lun knelt on the ground, holding his head, and hit the floor frantically.

"Let me come! Ah~~"

"No, let me do it! I promise, I promise! ”

"Bang bang bang!" There was a sharp knock at the door.

"Dr. Stan, are you in there?" The voice of the old butler Jason sounded outside the door.

"Remember, you have to remember, you promised, you promised......" Qin Lun's body stiffened slightly, and the low roar in his throat slowly fell.

"Butler Jason, please forgive me, I just knocked over something!" Qin Lun slowly stood up from the ground sweating profusely, his face was already pale.

"Huh? Need I get someone in and clean up? The old butler asked suspiciously.

"No, no, I've cleaned it up, so I don't need to bother you!" Qin Lun replied in a resolute tone.

After sending the old housekeeper away, Qin Lun took a deep breath, calmed down his feelings, turned around again, and looked at the desk by the wall with complicated eyes.

On the desk, a crumpled letter note sits quietly flat on the table, with several names and place names written on it. Between these words, there are also some chaotic black lines, as if they were children's graffiti.

This is the letter that was torn apart by Qin Lun and thrown into the cliff in the storm!

However, not only does the letter now show no signs of breakage, but it also shows no signs of being wet from the rain. It's just that at the bottom of the letter, there is an extra line of beautiful handwriting.

"Please help us!"
