Chapter 45 Revealing the Secret (2 in 1)
"Boom!" The sky above the castle was covered with dark clouds, and with the flashes in the clouds, a drought thunder exploded out of thin air.
"Push, push it away!" The castle stone bridge was densely filled with people, and the thick gate blocked the townsmen holding torches.
"Crack~~" The thick door bolt made a harsh sound, and fine cracks slowly appeared on the surface.
"Bang!" The door bolt was finally broken into two pieces, and the townsmen rushed into the castle courtyard like a torrent. The neat lawn just persisted for a while and then mixed with the soil.
"Rivey, am I doing something wrong?" Toti's Therapist closed his eyes and turned to look at the mayor of the town of Odia beside him.
"No, Totty! No exorcist has appeared in Albert Castle so far. Doctor Stan is right. It seems that the outbreak in the town is indeed related to the Albert family. Otherwise, Nova and the others should have appeared in front of the door now to stop everyone."
The middle-aged mayor shook his head with a wry smile, "We don't have the power of exorcists, and we cannot stop the Albert family. We can only mobilize the townsmen to help Nova and the others."
"Oh, I just hope that Albert Castle can be preserved in this turmoil." Toti's healer sighed helplessly, "You and several other mayors, the sheriffs try to restrain the townspeople and don't let them hurt innocent castle servants."
"My Little Wellington, you should be fine!" The angry and distorted faces around Catherine felt both familiar and unfamiliar. She clamped her arms tightly on her chest, and was staggered forward by the abortion.
The hotel owner herself did not expect that when she heard that the source of the epidemic was Albert Castle, and her little lover had not returned yet, she was so worried that she was stunned and rushed out of the hotel and joined the large army that the townsmen declaring Albert Castle.
When Catherine came to her senses, she had already appeared in the courtyard of Albert Castle, surrounded by the unreasonable Odia civilians.
Over the past period of time, the epidemic in the Odia area has become more and more serious, with the death toll finally exceeding 1,000. More than 2,000 people 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 area dies or is about to die.
This ratio has spread the disease to almost every civilian family in the Odia region. It can be said that in the Odia region, everyone feels the God of Death that is so close to each other in the sick relatives.
At this time, even the gentler Odia civilians felt that their reason was collapsing, and their hearts were filled with madness and tyranny. On the verge of everyone's about to collapse, they heard the news that Albert Castle was the source of infection.
In fact, no one discussed the truth of this news, and in their hearts they had believed the rumor. After all, more than a year ago, the two foreigners died of illness in the town after visiting Albert Castle.
As soon as the news spread, there were scattered crowds on the Central Road of the town of Odia. They held torches and slowly headed towards the direction of Albert Castle. The small team grew into a torrent in just a few dozen minutes, and countless civilians from nearby towns joined the way.
Qin Lun lifted up the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the banquet hall and smiled slightly as Torrent rushed into the castle courtyard.
"As a theoretical master of human genetics, the first time I saw that dark green epidemic virus, I knew it was not a bacteria. Its function was not to make people sick, but more like a transformation, targeting genetic modification." Qin Lun put down the curtains, turned around and smiled.
"Human genes?!" A trace of confusion appeared on everyone's faces. They are not doctors, and there is no concept of human genes in this era.
"Oh, by the way, you don't understand what genes are, so just treat it as the origin of life." Qin Lun pinched his nose awkwardly and continued to explain, "The reason why those patients with epidemics die is because the power to transform the origin of life is an immortal force. The physical fitness of ordinary humans cannot support the success of transformation, and they will eventually die due to exhaustion of life."
"Mr. Stan, if as you said, the epidemic virus is an immortal plague and its function is to transform the human body, then... there will be at least one transformer!" Lima, with silver hair and golden eyes, looked at Baron Albert in a drowning look.
"Well, Lima, you're right, there's at least one transformer!" Qin Lun smiled and raised a finger. "I accepted Baron Albert's invitation at that time, just to ask Lord Baron to help me track down this transformer. However, after seeing Master Miller, I immediately realized that this transformer was probably a member of the Albert family..."
"Doctor Stan, your judgment is too arbitrary. Could it be that the disease on Little Miller is the masterpiece of a servant?" Mill asked frowned. "It may also be that his mother, Witch Mary, had a failed experiment."
"Haha, there is indeed this possibility, so I played a trick at that time!" Qin Lun said with a smile.
"I wiped all the glass test tubes in my medicine box cleanly and sprinkled with a small amount of stone powder. Human fingerprints are actually unique. Since the transformer made Xiao Miller sick, he could not cure him. I think it would be curious about the drug that can cure the disease. I want to get its fingerprints and catch it."
"No wonder we took our wine glass so actively that day. It turned out that we wanted to compare fingerprints!" Boni's face turned dark, he looked through his palms carefully, and muttered softly.
"Did you get its fingerprint?" Ms. Nova couldn't help asking when she heard this, even Baron Albert's face moved, and her eyes glanced in a certain direction.
"I got it! In fact, it was very impatient. On the second day I arrived at the castle, I got its fingerprints!" Qin Lun sighed, "With Frank's help, I compared the fingerprints of all members of the Albert family, and the result was surprising."
"Who is that transformer?" Lima clenched her fists tightly, her golden eyes cold.
He never forgot that his father tossed and turned on the sickbed, and suffered for two weeks, but in the end he still rotted and died. The protective power in the exorcist body rejected the transformation of the epidemic virus, and his strong body made Lima's father die even more painful.
"Although I got its fingerprints at that time, Frank met a gargoyle, and I became an exorcist, and learned about the existence of witches and exorcists in this world, and also learned about Stephen Albert. This information made me realize that the truth was not that simple, and there were 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 lady. Miss Laura, you have entered my room without authorization and moved my medicine box, have you?"
"Lara, Miss Laura!" A buzzing discussion sounded in the hall.
"Yes...yes, I...was worried about Miller's condition!" Laura lowered her head a little crampedly and said softly, "I found a piece of letter paper with words in your room. I thought it was a prescription, but unfortunately... it was blown away by the wind. Then... turned your medicine box."
"I don't blame you, I think it should be the case! When I first came to the castle, you showed your care for Xiao Miller and your doubts about me!" Qin Lun said with a smile, "But please understand that at first, this alone could not dispel your suspicion."
Laura didn't say anything anymore and nodded silently.
"Just when my investigation was in trouble, I got the opportunity to enter the Great Forest of Maiya. At that time, I was thinking that the Maiya Witch is the group in this world who knows the most about the undead power and is the best at using the undead power. Maybe I can get a breakthrough in them!"
Qin Lun paced slowly in the hall with his chin on his back, raised his head and smiled, "In fact, our sacrifice in the Maiya Forest is valuable. The witch notes I got from the witch hut finally allowed me to connect all the clues together, and I had a complete guess and knew the identity of the mysterious transformer!"
"Do you mean my brother Stephen Albert, or Miller's mother, Mary Claire?" Boni looked at Qin Lun with a bright look.
"Doctor Stan, no need to say anything more!" Baron Albert glanced at Little Miller, and suddenly seemed to have been aged more than ten years old, and said bitterly, "It was when I was developing werewolf that I accidentally got into an immortal plague. I will take on everything."
"Haha, you can't bear it, Baron, I won't..."
"Doctor Stan, since your Baron has taken the blame..." Ms. Nova gritted her teeth and interrupted Qin Lun's words, looking at the doctor with a pleading look, "What should have happened has happened. The most important thing now is to stop the spread of the epidemic. Why do you have to force it?"
"If possible, I wouldn't be willing to destroy an exorcist family that has been protecting Odia for more than 300 years." Qin Lun lowered his eyelids and said lightly.
"But the fire can only be reborn! Only by finding out the culprit can we eliminate this disaster and avoid the same thing again. Ms. Nova, I ask you again, is you becoming an exorcist to protect the Albert family or to protect the tens of thousands of civilians in the Odia region?"
"Okay, I'll watch here. If you don't have any real evidence for Albert's accusations, I won't let you go!" Nova blushed and shouted in shame.
"Ms. Nova, I respect you as a senior senior in the Odia area, 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 took a step forward, stood on the left and right of Lima, and expressed their position with a stern face. At this time, even the two neutral exorcists approached Qin Lun two steps closer to Nova, watching vigilantly. As Baron Albert admitted his crime, they had to begin to give up neutrality.
"Nova, calm down!" Mail reached out his hand seriously on Ms. Nova's shoulder and shook his head at her.
"Stephen and the Mary Witch with the pseudonym Nina are indeed very suspicious, but they are not the mysterious transformer. Perhaps even the mysterious transformer himself doesn't know what kind of Pandora's box it opened!" Qin Lun's expression on his face was extremely strange, and he said slowly.
"More than a thousand years ago, the final battle between the believers of the immortals and the undead wizard. The believers of the immortals realized that neither the immortal power nor the immortal power should continue to exist. They sealed the immortal power and the immortal power in this world with their lives. Apart from the small amount of immortal potions left in the hands of the witch, the world can no longer rely on faith and magic to give birth to the immortal believers and the undead wizard.
However, the mysterious transformer of the Albert family used genes, which is the origin of life, to create two kinds of creatures, including werewolf. Look at the old butler Jason, who is a wise werewolf. The servants of Albert Castle here are obviously all wise people among the two kinds of creatures.
The transformation of the origin of life is different from the previous ways in which the believers of the Everlasting and the Immortal Wizard were born. Their children would inherit the immortal power directly from their bloodlines. These people are neither magical creatures nor contract creatures, they are two new humans!"
Qin Lun said this, his eyes shot a strange light, suddenly turned around, and roared at the exorcists, "Don't you understand yet? The mysterious transformers of the Albert family did not create an immortal plague. It discovered another way of birth of the undead and entered the realm of God! Humans in the world will face the disaster of extinction as a result!"
The banquet hall of Albert Castle fell into a dead silence. Qin Lun's roar echoed in everyone's ears for a long time, and his mind was blank. Nova and Maier's faces slowly turned white, and then turned ashen.
"Don't let anyone go!" Lima's cold voice sounded in the ears of all the exorcists. The five exorcists behind Qin Lun quickly dispersed, surrounding Albert's family and all the castle servants.
"Nova..." Mail looked at the Overlord Flower who was stunned and sighed, turned around and said to Boni, "I'm sorry, Boni!"
"You don't have to apologize to me. I am first an exorcist, and then a member of the Albert family!" Boni's eyes darkened and he shook his head firmly. "I will never forget the heroic spirit of Odo and Bry in the face of evil, and I will never forget my oath!"
Boni pulled off the bandage on his face, revealing half of the blood-tight knot, exposing the bones, and slowly walked to a corner of the encirclement, pulling out the two swords from his waist and pointing at his original family.
"It seems that the Albert family can at least leave the last bloodline!" Miel sighed lightly, and was about to take a step, but found Nova quietly walking past him and wading towards the encirclement expressionlessly.
With the addition of Boni and the other three, the remaining eight exorcists, except Qin Lun, finally reached a unified unification again. The prospects that the doctors described to them were too terrible, and even Nova and Boni could not sit still. As Boni said, no matter their personal identity, they were the exorcists who swore to protect the human world.
Baron Albert slowly raised his head, the cold light in his eyes condensed as the substance, staring at Qin Lun tightly, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Doctor Stan, I am also an exorcist. I just want to know, is there any real evidence for your accusation about the mysterious transformer?"
"Of course there is!" Qin Lun grinned and nodded gracefully, "When I became an exorcist, I discovered from the Odea Exorcist vow that not every member of the Albert family is an exorcist, at least half of Albert's name is not on the oath, and the mysterious transformer is one of them.
How could half of the members of an exorcist family who vowed to protect the Odia region for thousands of years?
In my guess, the only explanation is that these members are guarding the Odia region in another form, which is the original origin of the two new creatures and the core combat power of the Albert family fighting the Maiya Witch.
Each generation of Baron Albert signed a minion contract with these members and became another form of summoner. Of course, the contract with the undead also cost them a heavy price, not only offsetting the protection power, but also having a shorter lifespan than that of ordinary humans."
Hearing this, the exorcists present all had a heart move. The situation Qin Lun told was indeed true. It was just that everyone had never doubted this aspect, but they simply thought that the Albert family members had special physiques.
"I don't know when the mysterious transformer of the Albert family could no longer bear the death of the servants around him, so he turned the transformation that was originally only for Albert members to ordinary castle servants. Of course, these servants themselves do not have the blood of the Albert family, and many people cannot transform successfully. This is also the main reason why some werewolfs have no wisdom."
A trace of enlightenment flashed in Boni's eyes, and he remembered the old man who had recovered from his human form after death. According to the doctor, the old werewolf should have been a former castle servant.
"However, for some unknown reason, it decided to transform the underage Miller into an undead. However, it was such an important transformation that it made a mistake.
The reason is very simple. Little Miller not only has the bloodline of his father Stephen, but also the bloodline of his mother Nina, but Nina is an absolute witch of Maiya - Marie Claire!
Stephen's bloodline is biased towards the power of immortality, and Mary's bloodline is biased towards the power of immortality. Both of these powers have been sealed and cannot be untied at all. However, the mysterious transformer is both a member of the Albert family and an undead, and he also has two powers.
By chance, it unbuttoned the seal on Miller's body.
Perhaps, even it itself did not realize that the ununclear seal left by the believers of the immortals had a flaw, and this flaw was it!
However, the two conflicting forces were too huge, so huge that they made Little Miller sick! Mary Witch exposed the identity of the undead for this ridiculous reason.
On their way to the Maiya Forest with her husband and son, they were hunted by Baron Albert. The witch Mary died on the spot, and her core was poached by another witch Mesa who was responsible for monitoring the periphery of the forest, which almost wiped out our entire army in the witch's hut.
Witnessing his mother was killed by his grandfather and his father was transformed into a werewolf, Miller fell down as soon as he returned to the castle. From then on, he fell into a coma, and the bloodline that had not yet merged in his body began to produce immortal plague gas as he breathed.
But for such a thing, the Albert family could not ask for help from the Exorcist organization, so they had to ask ordinary doctors to treat them one after another, and spread the immortal plague to them, and finally the current major epidemic broke out.
The witch Mary is dead, Stephen becomes a werewolf and is imprisoned at the bottom of the military sub-fort. Baron Albert and Boni are exorcists, and there is no immortal power in their bodies. Little Miller has immortal power in his body, but he is the victim, and he is also not the mysterious transformer.
Haha, after doing so, there were only two members of the Albert family who did not appear in the Exorcist oath, and who lived in Albert Castle for many years! One of them was Miss Laura...
However, based on another evidence I have, I believe she is not the mysterious transformer!
The mysterious transformer of the Albert family...is you!
The Immortal Princess of the Albert House - Elizabeth Albert!"
