The Death List Novel - Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Convene
“Doctor Stan, let’s go. I’ll take you to meet the other exorcists in the Audi region!” Bonny, who appeared outside Qin Lun’s room, beckoned for the doctor to follow him.

“Oh, are they all here so soon?” Qin Lun had a smile on his face, but in fact, he was cursing endlessly in his heart.

He had already spent almost twenty days in this world. Although the quests in the other world had changed, due to the small difference in the content of the quests, the difficulty did not increase much. His stay was still the same as before.

With this calculation, there were only ten days left for the mission of the satellite-level world storyline “Secret Searching”. The five days he had waited for the other exorcists to enter the Myya Forest together had been wasted.

‘”Haha, they have always lived in the Audi region. They could have come here in a day or two. However, the descendants of these exorcists all have their own families. Before they start their mission, they have to make arrangements for their families. In case they fall into the Maya Forest, their families will lose their support!” Bonny said indifferently.

“Lose support?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly. “Didn’t the Exorcist Organization and Albert Castle provide them with compensation and arrange for an escape route?”

“Haha, Doctor Stan, it seems like you still don’t understand what my father said that day. Although the Exorcist Organization also has a headquarters and an organizational system, it is a loose support group as a whole.” Bonny said solemnly, “The exorcist’s struggle against evil creatures is not for money. The exorcist’s mission is not compulsory. He can go or not!”

“Are you saying that it doesn’t matter if the exorcists in the Audi region don’t respond to Albert Castle’s call?” Qin Lun said in surprise.

‘”Yes, those exorcists can completely dismiss the mission issued by Albert Castle. Of course, they will not do so under normal circumstances. First, because this is the responsibility of the exorcist. Second … Albert Castle, as the representative of the organization in the Audi region, is qualified to evaluate and examine the exorcists belonging to this region.” A smile appeared on Bonny’s face.

“Evaluation and review?”

“Well, if an exorcist hasn’t participated in a mission issued by the organization for several years, and doesn’t perform his duties alone, his evaluation in the organization will only get lower and lower, and he will be expelled from the organization in the end!” Bonny was afraid that Qin Lun might not understand, so he immediately added, “It’s to use magical power to erase the name of this exorcist on the oath.”

“You can still do this” Qin Lun was speechless. “Will the exorcist die after erasing his name?”

“That’s not true, but he will become an ordinary person, and he still has the obligation to keep it a secret from the outside world. Even if he is no longer an exorcist, he cannot speak nonsense!” Bonny whispered, “Otherwise, the exorcist organization will take him into custody through official agencies. If the situation is serious, they will keep him in prison!”

Qin Lun nodded in understanding. The descendants of exorcists could be afraid of death and not take on their original duties. However, speaking nonsense, causing chaos in the ordinary human world, would definitely be unforgivable.

“Exorcism requires courage and sacrifice. Most exorcists are members of the exorcist family because there are too many restrictions. However, there are also some ordinary people with extraordinary courage who will join this heroic group that protects the world after learning the truth.”

Bonny said with some emotion, “In my opinion, you are such a hero from an ordinary person!”

“You are truly exaggerating!” Qin Lun replied modestly.

“Of course, as long as you’re an exorcist, most of you won’t lack a source of money!” Bonnie smiled and said, “The exorcist organization does not provide members with any financial rewards, but with its huge network, the exorcist organization does not lack job opportunities.”

“Oh, what kind of job opportunities are they?” Qin Lun asked with interest.

“For example, a doctor with a skill like yours can be recommended to the rich, the nobles, and even the royal families of various countries. These people who are a little sick like to hire doctors from among exorcists at a high price!” At this point, Bonny couldn’t help but grin. “Actually, they don’t know the exorcist doctor’s medical skills. Some of them aren’t as good as ordinary doctors!”

“What about some exorcists who don’t have special talents?” Qin Lun nodded and continued to ask.

“Even if an exorcist doesn’t have a skill, he can still find a high-paying job through the organization’s introduction!” Bonny shrugged his shoulders and said, “For example: police, bodyguards, soldiers, bounty hunters, and so on. These professions that use force. Dr. Stan, you know, most exorcists without other special talents have decent combat abilities!”

“This … are you sure that there are no exceptions? An exorcist like me who is halfway home doesn’t seem to have much fighting strength, right?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he asked with a smile.

‘”Haha, of course you are no exception! The guardian power on the exorcist oath will slowly affect the human physique. You will naturally be able to experience this in the future. Furthermore, even if your physique does not improve, you still have excellent medical skills that can help other exorcists. Otherwise, we will not let you join the exorcist organization.” Bonny explained as he walked without turning his head.

An improvement in physique? Qin Lun shook his head slightly. He had a death list, and even the slightest change in his body could be intuitively reflected. Right now, he didn’t feel that the guardian power was changing his Laws body.

In fact, Qin Lun did not know that the guardian power of the exorcist oath had already been used on him. Of course, this kind of guardian force could not directly act on the body of Laws. Instead, it was attached to Qin Lun’s body like a membrane.

There were many forms of guardian power. Some exorcists would increase their strength, some would increase their agility, and some would increase their spells. Since Qin Lun’s Laws Body did not accept the entry of Guardian Power, it could only helplessly display its most essential form-the “Life” attribute of the Evil Breaking Guardian.

In other words, the defensive power that the exorcist had sworn had become Qin Lun’s “magic resistance”! Of course, this “magic resistance” was only effective in this world. Once Qin Lun left this world, his guardian power would disappear.

As he spoke, Bonny brought Qin Lun to a sub-castle hall. This was the third sub-castle Qin Lun had seen after the two sub-castles in the library and arena. After Bonny’s explanation, he learned that the secondary castle was specially designed to receive “special guests”.

Thinking about the three sub-castles that he had seen, each of them had their own functions, Qin Lun was interested in the last one. However, he did not ask Bonny about this. The most important thing now was to participate in the reconnaissance of Maya Forest. Everything else can be put aside first, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Qin Lun had a faint intuition that as long as he entered the Myya Forest where the witches resided, he would definitely gain something.

After entering the hall, Qin Lun discovered that Baron Albert was already inside. Apart from him, there were more than twenty exorcists sitting or standing around. These exorcists were mostly males, old and young. The youngest exorcist looks to have just reached adulthood, probably under twenty years old. The oldest should be Baron Albert’s age.

There were only four female exorcists, or … five? Qin Lun’s face twitched slightly. He looked at an exorcist in the corner of the hall with a face full of flesh that was twice his width. If it weren’t for the two giant flesh bullets in front of her chest, the doctor would definitely treat her as a man.

This powerful heroine was currently eating a large bowl of mutton in front of her. Beside the wall behind her was a huge horse knife, or a dog’s head? Anyway, that big blood-stained toy was definitely not used to cut people, it was more like cutting cattle!

Qin Lun only looked at her for a few moments before he quickly turned his head. He had a feeling that the lioness might have noticed his line of sight. If he continued to look, it would be troublesome if he caused other people’s dislike, but if he caused a good impression, then it would be even more troublesome!

This is not Catherine, he is not interested in experiencing another new feeling!

Looking at the other exorcists, Qin Lun discovered that there were quite a few familiar faces among them, as if they had seen each other several times in Auditoria Town. One of the most familiar faces was the middle-aged man who owned the inn next door to Catherine.

He was actually an exorcist! Qin Lun was slightly surprised!

The middle-aged man’s senses were very sharp. He noticed that Qin Lun was looking at him and immediately smiled as he walked towards Qin Lun.

“Doctor Stan, I’m Oddo! I heard your name in the town. I didn’t expect to see you in Albert Castle! It looks like you’ve also become an exorcist. Welcome to join us!” The middle-aged innkeeper extended his hand to Qin Lun in a friendly manner.

“Hello, Oddo. Nice to meet an acquaintance!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he reached out to hold Oddo’s hand. “How many exorcists live in Odia Town?”

“More than a third of them have already done so. In fact, the exorcists here have done a lot of work to clean up the aftermath of the epidemic in the Audi á region!” Oddo smiled bitterly and said, “However, after you appeared, the news of the plague became public!”

“I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect such a reaction!” Qin Lun said apologetically.

“It doesn’t matter. Actually, even if you don’t show up, the epidemic situation will worsen. Our efforts have always been limited. At this point, it’s hard to conceal it anymore!” Oddo shook his head and said with a heavy heart.

“Has the spread of the disease spread again?” Qin Lun was slightly stunned.

‘”Yes, you’ve been in the castle these past few days. All the nearby towns have suffered from epidemics in public. At present, the death toll from exorcism and the official statistics of the town have reached more than three hundred. The number of patients is as high as a thousand, accounting for more than 8% of the total population of the area.”

‘”That’s why so many exorcists have gathered at Albert Castle. Everyone wants to know if witch Maya is behind this plague,” Oddo said with a solemn look in his eyes. “This is the reason why so many exorcists have gathered at Albert Castle.”
