Chapter 43 Riot
"Thomas!" Nova exclaimed loudly and rushed to the broken floor-to-ceiling window.
The exorcists came to the window a few steps and saw Baron Albert falling very fast, and in just a few seconds it had fallen to the middle of the main castle. At this time, a pure black chain shot out from the baron's sleeves, barely hooking the window of a room in the main castle.
The baron echoed in the air, and the crisp sound of glass rupture came from below, and his figure quickly disappeared in front of everyone.
"Why do you want to escape? Father, don't you know that you can't explain it again?" Boni murmured to himself in a daze.
"Oh, let's go down too!" Maier glanced at Boni with a complicated expression.
With Boni here, the Albert family still has a chance to revive, but their reputation will still be greatly affected. At least it is impossible to become the leader of the Audia Exorcist again.
The exorcists looked at each other with a little embarrassed expression. So many of them did not leave Thomas Albert in the Judgment Hall. Now Thomas escaped to the lower level. With his understanding of the castle, he would probably leave the castle within a few minutes and escape into the hillside woods opposite the castle.
It is dark now, and most of the exorcists are injured and cannot conduct large-scale searches. By dawn, Baron Albert would have disappeared long ago.
"Your Baron will not succeed!" Qin Lun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked into the distance, and said lightly, "Look at the mountain road opposite the castle!"
Albert Castle is located on a cliff, and the slope opposite the hillside is much gentler. There is a winding dirt road, and there is only the stone bridge of Albert Castle between the two cliffs.
At this time, on the mountain road connecting the stone bridge, there was a fire dragon circling the mountain. This fire dragon was extremely eye-catching. If the exorcist had not been on Baron Albert's attention, he would have noticed it long ago. Now, when Qin Lun reminded him, he immediately discovered this abnormal situation.
"Where did this team come from? It seems there are hundreds of people!" Miel opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Although the cliff where the castle is located is as high as one or two hundred meters, in fact, except for the relatively steep terrain, it can only be regarded as a hillside. The fire dragon surrounding the mountain road below almost spreads from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It looks like there are more than a few hundred people all over the mountain.
The first Baron Albert, more than 300 years ago, was built here because of his terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the beginning of its construction, Albert Castle was used as a military fortress against the Witch Maiya.
If the Maiya Witch wants to invade the human settlements of Odia, it will not be able to bypass Albert Castle. If you want to attack the castle, you can only pass through mountain roads and stone bridges. If you don’t attack the castle, you may be cut off from the rear path, which is a dilemma.
It was only as time went by that, the Maiya Witch lost the ability to attack humans on a large scale. Albert Castle changed from a military fortress in the Odia area to a private castle of the Albert family.
"The army of the Principality shouldn't have come here, and it's not so fast. I'm afraid they are all villagers from several nearby towns!" Nova's face was solemn, she frowned slightly, turned her head and looked at Qin Lun suspiciously, "Doctor Stan, have you made any arrangements?"
Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and Ms. Nova's keen intuition surprised him a little. However, he did not intend to hide these exorcists. Anyway, they would soon learn about the inside story.
"Yes, when Totti's Saint Therapist returned to town, I gave him a suggestion to spread the news that Albert Castle might be the source of the disease!" Qin Lun nodded slowly and admitted readily, "However, Totti's Saint Therapist rejected this suggestion at that time. Now it seems that it should be an unexpected situation in Hansen's town that changed his mind!"
"How can you do this? Don't you know that the situation in the Odia area is like a powder keg? These townsmen will turn Albert Castle into ashes!" Ms. Nova opened her eyes angrily and roared at Qin Lun.
"If it weren't for my suggestion, I'm afraid Thomas Albert had escaped into the woods now!" Qin Lun said coldly with a stern face, "If you were not lucky and unwilling to turn against Baron Albert, how could the nine exorcists let him escape from his nose?"
"You are quibbling. We were just suspicious of Thomas at the time, and there was no conclusive evidence that he was related to the epidemic!" Ms. Nova finally lost her calmness and shouted angrily, "And you made such an irreversible arrangement from the beginning. What if you were wrong?"
The expression on Qin Lun's face suddenly became strange, and the tone in his mouth became calmer. He turned his back and said lightly: "If I were wrong, at most, I would have to pay a Wellington Stan. Even if I added an Albert family, I would have to spend more than a dozen lives. If you were wrong, Ms. Nova, do you know how many lives I would pay in the Odia area?"
"I..." Nova stood there in a daze, and her face instantly lost all the blood.
"Ms. Nova, are you an exorcist to protect the Albert family or to protect the tens of thousands of civilians in the Odia region? If you can't even tell the difference, what else do you do to do?
Qin Lun's cold words were as dull as before, but Nova felt like she was hit hard, and an unbearable colic came from her heart, like a stone statue standing in place.
"Let's go, let's find Baron Albert!" Qin Lun said, turned around and walked through the crowd and headed towards the lower floor of the main fort.
Behind him, three younger exorcists immediately followed, and two older exorcists looked at Nova, sighed and left. Only Nova, Mair and Boni were left.
"Nova, that boy Wellington is saying too much, don't take it to heart!" Miel asked with concern.
"Puff!" Nova, who was standing still, squirted out a blood arrow, and her burly body hunched down at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her face was originally full of flesh, but her youthful face seemed to have suddenly aged, and she just shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"He was right in this matter. My feelings for Thomas did affect my rationality." Ms. Nova closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "But...Myer, don't you think Dr. Stan is too cruel and ruthless?"
"Well, I feel it. Although this kid possesses great justice, he may not be selfless and should have his own purpose. After this incident, the exorcists in the Odia region will probably be reshuffled. In any case, he cannot be the leader of the region." Mail said cautiously, "Boni, you have been with him for the longest time. What do you think?"
"I don't want to express any opinions before the Albert family suspicion cleared up!" Boni said expressionlessly, a trace of confusion flashed deep in his eyes.
The blonde young man is not a fool. In the battle of the witch, he actually had doubts about Qin Lun. Although he could not see the final result of the battle of the witch, the doctor had already performed well before the battle with two evil creatures.
Since Qin Lun has the ability to fight against evil creatures and witches, it would be less reasonable to hide aside and watch Odo die in battle before this. Of course, Boni cannot accuse Qin Lun of this, after all, his profession is a doctor, not a combatant.
"Let's go down too and meet Thomas. I have a feeling that there will be many 'surprises' tonight." Miel said with a wry smile.
Qin Lun quickly walked between the corridors of the castle, followed by three exorcists, and two exorcists kept a certain distance and followed slowly. The doctor did not know his previous performance, which aroused the fear of Nova and three senior exorcists.
However, even if he knew, Qin Lun didn't care. He was not really trying to seize the leadership position of the Audia Exorcist.
Qin Lun could have been perfunctory when Nova questioned him, and apologized to an exorcist senior, and would not lose hair. He could continue to hide behind Nova, Maier and others without having to stand out by himself. At this critical moment, he suddenly showed a strong side and had some intentions to confront Nova against him.
The arrival of more than a thousand town people has blocked Baron Albert's escape route. Unless he can fly and even fly into the Maiya Forest, there is no way out. All the secrets of the Albert family will probably be revealed tonight, and Qin Lun's mission will also be finalized.
However, the more in the end, Qin Lun became more careful. The more than a thousand town people should have organizers, including many of them like Toti's Saint therapist, town mayor, sheriff, etc. If the nine exorcists led by Nova and Mair are united and mobilize their respective influence on these organizers, it is still possible to calm the turmoil.
If Albert Castle had not been purged and Baron Albert would not speak, the secrets of the Albert family might not be exposed. If Nova, Maier and others were concerned about friendship and were waiting for the instructions from the Exorcist headquarters, Qin Lun might have let the daylily cool down and he would not complete the task.
Therefore, Qin Lun decided to split the nine exorcists and prevent them from continuing to unite.
He has performed very well so far. He found evil creatures from the reconnaissance mission and pointed out that the witch's hut was close to everyone. He helped all exorcists heal their injuries and killed the witch with his own hands. Until now, he confirmed Baron Albert's suspicion and made arrangements in advance to block the Baron's escape route.
Although this cruelty and ruthlessness made Nova and Mair feel full of doubts, it inevitably left the impression of other exorcists as decisive and extremely witty. Some people disliked them, and some people also appreciated them.
When he attacks and belittles Ms. Nova again, a senior exorcist, it will naturally increase his prestige and attract several exorcists who appreciate him. The three young exorcists who are following him are the results of his strong performance just now. Unlike Nova and Mair, these three exorcists are still young and do not have such a deep affection for Baron Albert.
