The Death List Novel - Chapter 61
Chapter 61 Hall Of Judgment
The banquet proceeded in an orderly manner. To Qin Lun’s surprise, Bonny, Nova, and the others did not question Baron Albert at the banquet and drank and ate on their own.
Qin Lun did not urge them. In his opinion, this was just the dull moment before the storm. As long as the epidemic in the Odia region did not disappear, these exorcists had no choice but to make a choice.
“Doctor Stan!” A beautiful female voice suddenly came from behind Qin Lun.
“Miss Laura, nice to meet you!” Qin Lun turned around and found Laura Albert holding Little Miller’s hand, quietly standing behind him. “Young Master Miller, are you feeling better?”
“You are Dr. Stan. Thank you!” Little Miller looked at Qin Lun curiously and bowed.
The little boy had blonde hair and blue eyes, and his sharp little face seemed to have incomparably large eyes. Although he had consumed the World Tree Dew mixed with human milk, his weakened constitution had not been fundamentally changed. He still looked skinny.
“Haha, this is my duty as a doctor. You don’t have to thank me!” Qin Lun squatted down with a smile and touched Little Miller’s blonde hair. “Does Young Master Miller still remember how he contracted the disease?” He asked.
“I…”
“Miller has been asleep for more than a year and has lost a lot of memories. Until now, he is unable to recall them!” ‘”Miller, go and play with your sister. Elizabeth has been alone ever since you fell ill!” Laura’s pretty face suddenly changed as she tugged at the little boy.
“I don’t want to accompany her alone!” Miller hesitated for a moment before turning around.
“Miller … Then I’ll go with you.” Laura turned around and forced a smile at Qin Lun. “Doctor Stan, excuse me!”
“Help yourself!” Qin Lun smiled and expressed his understanding. When Laura turned around, a cold light flashed in the doctor’s eyes.
As the banquet progressed, the sky slowly darkened. Baron Albert glanced at the banquet hall and rubbed his nose tiredly. When the exorcist was fighting in Maya Forest, he was also not at ease in Albert Castle.
Nova, Myr, and Oddo were the pillars of the Audi region. Although they did not hold management positions in the ordinary human world, such as mayor, magistrate, police chief, and so on, any candidate for an important position was an ordinary member of the exorcist family, and they were related to each exorcist.
This was also a special feature of the Audi region, as it was the frontline to defend against the Mayan witches. The exorcists sometimes required large amounts of manpower and material resources, a situation that was tacitly approved by the rulers of the Principality of Maezer.
After the exorcists entered Maya Forest, the epidemic situation in the nearby towns was completely suppressed by Baron Albert. He needs to be responsible for coordinating the manpower of all localities to try to control the spread of the epidemic.
“Father, we need to talk!” Just as Baron Albert was about to leave the banquet hall and return to his room to rest, Bonny, Nova and the others stopped him.
“Now?” Baron Albert frowned slightly and looked at Bonny and the other exorcists. “Alright then, let’s go to the Military Vice Fort!”
“No, Thomas, please open the Judgment Hall on the top floor of the main castle. We want to discuss it there!” Nova suddenly raised her head and said resolutely.
“Judgment Hall?!” Baron Albert’s expression changed as he said solemnly, “The opening of the Judgment Hall requires the joint proposal of three or more Intermediate Exorcists. Are you sure that more than half of the Exorcists in Auditoria agree?”
“Yes, Thomas! Me, Myr, and Bonny are all Intermediate Exorcists. In fact, this is the decision of all of our companions here!” Lady Nova said solemnly.
“I understand. Please follow me!” Baron Albert murmured to himself, “Looks like you’ve really received amazing information during this mission.”
“Sir Myr, what is the Judgment Hall?” Qin Lun leaned over to Myr and asked softly.
“The Judgement Hall of Albert Castle was set up by the first generation Baron Albert. It has the blessings of an Immortal believer. It can use the magic array underground to gather the power of longevity. Any evil creature will be suppressed there, and the power of longevity within the exorcist will speed up the recovery.” Myr gave Kieran a meaningful look.
“However, activating the Judgment Hall will consume the long life energy gathered by the magic array for a long time. It is not a matter of life and death. No one is willing to waste this trump card.” At this point, Myr’s gaze darkened. “Of course, other than that, the Judgment Hall has another function. Execution of traitors from the Exorcist camp.”
Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. He recognized the hidden meaning behind Myr’s words, and couldn’t help but look at the big man with a face full of cheeks in surprise.
“Sir Myr, you’ve always objected to me questioning the Albert Clan. Why did you change your attitude so much after just one night?”
“Doctor Stan, you misunderstand! We are also opposed to questioning the Albert family now, but Baron Albert does not represent the entire Albert family. At least Bonny …” Myr said embarrassedly.
“Sir Myr, please don’t take lightly. If you still think of me as a companion, you should tell me the truth!” Qin Lun said expressionlessly.
“This … Alright!” Myr rubbed his nose awkwardly. “In fact, Miss Nova received a message from the Totti Paladin’s flying pigeon in the early hours of this morning. The first case of an epidemic occurred in Hansen Town!”
“Hansen Town … I see!” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes.
After entering this world for so long, he was no longer as lacking in common sense as he had been at the beginning. Hansen Town did not belong to the Audi region, but to the Hanover region. Seriously, Hansen Town is at the junction of the two districts.
The Odia region was a mountain forest. Apart from a few small towns, it was surrounded by mountains and forests. The population density was very small, and the entire region only had tens of thousands of people. This was also the reason why the Exorcist organization hadn’t treated such a serious contagious disease as a matter of life and death.
The Exorcist organization is a superpower organization, not a human government. Natural disasters are not under their control. If it weren’t for the fact that this epidemic was related to Witch Maya, the Exorcist organization wouldn’t have intervened.
However, things were different now. The Hanover region was a plain terrain, and there were several large cities with hundreds of thousands of people. They were already close to the heart of the Principality of Maize. If the disease was truly an immortal plague that could not be solved by human medicine, then once it spread throughout the Hanover region, it might really subvert the Principality of Maize and then affect the safety of the entire human world.
Although there was only one case of epidemic disease in Hansen Town, based on the information obtained by Nova and the others in Maya Forest, the nature of the whole incident had completely changed, and finally attracted the attention of the Exorcist Organization.
‘”The Exorcist organization has informed the Maezer royal family that all roads leading to other parts of Hanover have been blocked. I only hope that it is not too late to mend the situation. The higher-ups of the organization are gathering Holy Spirit potions. The exorcists in the Audi region have received a new mission. Once this matter is over, escort you to the headquarters of the Exorcists.”
Myr shook his head and said, “No matter what, we can’t let the Undying Plague leave the Audi region. No matter how close we are to Baron Albert, we can’t be merciful this time. Didn’t you see that Lady Nova has a straight face? When she was young, she was …”
“Humph!” Nova, who was walking in front, seemed to have realized something and turned around to shave Mel fiercely.
“Oh, oh” The bearded man quickly shut his mouth and turned his head away embarrassedly. However, Qin Lun had already understood. He couldn’t help but look at Nova and then at Baron Thomas Albert with a strange expression.
‘”When Nova was young, she was very beautiful. She had only undergone the transformation of her Guardian Strength. Her attributes were partial to strength and physique … As for Thomas, the Albert Clan did not know why. Even if she had Guardian Strength, she would not be able to increase her lifespan. She would age as easily as ordinary humans.” Myr lowered his head and explained in a muffled voice.
Qin Lun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Myr. This guy looked like a middle-aged man, but he seemed to be quite old. He was of the same generation as Nova and Baron Albert. How could he have such a gossipy temperament?
Albert’s main castle had a tower structure in the middle and above, and in the middle was the female wall that Qin Lun had visited. The area above was the residential area of the Albert Family members. After Little Miller fell ill, no servants had come up here.
Now that Little Miller had recovered from his illness and the floors had been cleaned, the gloomy atmosphere had been swept away. However, after crossing the dormitory area and going up, the entire tower once again regained its serenity and gloominess. The corridors only echoed with the footsteps of the exorcists.
After arriving at the top floor, Qin Lun discovered that a heavy door had appeared in front of him. Two tightly closed bronze doors depicted a huge hexagram array. At the center of each of the two bronze doors was a lion-headed bronze head with a bloody mouth.
“Are you ready?” Baron Albert turned around and looked at the exorcists. He took out a small hunting knife from his bosom and slashed it on his finger. Then, he bounced the blood droplets from his finger into the mouth of a lion-headed bronze head.
Nova, Myr, and the other exorcists, including Bonny and Qin Lun, also followed Baron Albert’s example and bounced the blood droplets into the two lion-headed bronze heads.
After devouring the last person’s blood droplet, the hexagram array on the bronze gate slowly lit up. The eyes of the two lion-headed bronze heads suddenly shot out four rays of intense light, sweeping across everyone’s bodies.
When the strong light shone on his body, Qin Lun felt an enormous danger concealing his heart. He resisted the thought of dodging and stood stiffly on the spot. Fortunately, a gentle white light quickly appeared on his body, canceling out the strong light from the lion-headed bronze head’s eyes.
The doctor turned around and discovered that the exorcists also had a similar soft white light on their bodies, avoiding the damage of the strong light. It seemed like this was an exorcist’s verification of identity.
“Rumble!” As the strong light in the lion-headed bronze head’s eyes gradually weakened, the two bronze doors rumbled as they slowly opened inwards.
“Everyone, please come in! The 11th Auditoria Judgment Conference has officially begun!” Albert stroked his chest and bowed deeply.
“We will inherit Audi’s past, decide Audi’s present and protect Audi’s future!”
