The Death List Novel - Chapter 63

Chapter 63 Riot
“Thomas!” Nova cried out loudly as she pounced on the broken French window.

The exorcists took a few steps to the window and saw Baron Albert fall extremely quickly. In just a few seconds, he had already fallen to the middle of the main castle. At this moment, a pure black chain shot out from the baron’s sleeve, hooking the window of a room in the main castle.

The baron echoed in the air. A crisp sound of glass breaking came from below, and his figure quickly disappeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Why did you run, Father? Don’t you know that you can’t explain it anymore after escaping?” Bonny muttered to himself in a daze.

“Alas, let’s go down as well!” Myr looked at Bonny with a complicated expression.

With Bonny around, the Albert Clan still had a chance to revive. However, their reputation would still be greatly affected. At least, it was impossible for them to become the leader of the Auditoria Exorcists.

The exorcists looked at each other with embarrassed expressions. So many of them actually didn’t leave Thomas Albert in the Judgment Hall. Now that Thomas had escaped to the lower floor, with his knowledge of the castle, he would probably leave the castle in a few minutes and escape into the forest on the hillside opposite the castle.

It was already dark, and most of the exorcists were injured, preventing them from launching a large-scale search. By dawn, Baron Albert would probably have disappeared long ago.

“Your Excellency the Baron will not succeed!” Qin Lun stood in front of the French window and looked into the distance. He said indifferently, “Look at the mountain road opposite the castle!”

Albert Castle was situated on a precipice. The slope across the hill was much smoother. There was a coiling mountain path, and between the two cliffs was only the Albert Castle Stone Bridge.

At this moment, there was a fire dragon circling the mountain on the mountain path connecting the stone bridge. This fire dragon was extremely eye-catching. If not for the attention of the exorcist on Baron Albert, he would have noticed it long ago. Now that Qin Lun had reminded him, he immediately noticed this abnormal situation.

“Where did this team come from? It looks like there are hundreds of people!” Myr’s eyes widened in surprise.

Although the cliff on which the castle was situated was one to two hundred meters tall, apart from the steep terrain, it could only be considered a hillside. The fire dragon that surrounded the mountain path below almost spread from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It looked like it was filled with mountains and wilderness. There were probably more than a few hundred people.

More than 300 years ago, the first generation of Baron Albert had built Albert Castle here precisely because he had taken a fancy to the terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Albert Castle was built as a military stronghold against the Mayan witches.

If the Mayan witches wanted to invade the human settlements in Audi á, they would not be able to bypass Albert Castle. To attack the castle, one could only go through mountain paths and stone bridges. If one did not attack the castle, one might be cut off from the rear path. This could be said to be a dilemma.

However, over time, Witch Maya had lost her ability to attack humans on a large scale. Only then did Albert Castle change from a military stronghold in the Audi region to a private castle for the Albert family.

“The army of the Principality shouldn’t have come here, and it shouldn’t have been so fast. I’m afraid they’re all townsfolk from a few nearby towns!” Nova’s expression was grave. She frowned slightly and turned to look at Qin Lun suspiciously. “Doctor Stan, did you make any arrangements?”

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. He was a little surprised by Ms. Nova’s sharp intuition. However, he did not intend to hide it from these exorcists. Anyway, they would soon learn the inside story.

“That’s right. When Totti returned to town, I gave him a suggestion to spread the news that Albert Castle might be the source of infection!” Qin Lun slowly nodded and readily admitted, “However, the Holy Healing Master Totti rejected this suggestion at that time. Now, it seems that it was an accident in Hansen Town that caused him to change his mind!”

“How can you do this? Don’t you know that the situation in the Audi á region is already like a powder keg? These townsfolk will turn Albert Castle into ashes!” Lady Nova angrily opened her eyes and roared at Qin Lun.

“If it weren’t for my suggestion, Thomas Albert would have escaped into the woods by now!” Qin Lun said coldly with a stern face, “If you weren’t lucky and didn’t want to fall out with Baron Albert, how could the nine exorcists let him escape from under your noses?”

“This is a sophistry. At that time, we only suspected Thomas. There was no conclusive evidence to prove that he was related to the disease!” Lady Nova finally lost her calm and shouted angrily, “And you made this kind of irreversible arrangement from the beginning. What if you were wrong?”

Qin Lun’s expression suddenly became strange. His tone became calmer and calmer. He turned around and said indifferently, “If I’m wrong, I’ll lose at most one Wellington Stan. Even if I add the Albert family, there won’t be more than a dozen lives. If you’re wrong, Miss Nova, do you know how many lives the Odia region will lose?”

‘”I…” Nova was stunned, and her face instantly lost all color.

“Miss Nova, did you become an exorcist to protect the Albert Clan or the tens of thousands of civilians in the Audi á region? If you can’t even tell that, why are you still an exorcist?”

Qin Lun’s cold words were as calm as before, but Nova felt as if she had been heavily injured. An unbearable coldness came from her heart, like a stone statue frozen in place.

“Let’s go find Baron Albert!” After Qin Lun finished speaking, he turned around and walked through the crowd towards the lower level of the main castle.

Behind him, three younger exorcists immediately followed. The other two older exorcists looked at Nova and left with a sigh. Only Nova, Myr and Bonny remained.

“Nova, that kid Wellington has gone too far. You … don’t take it to heart!” Myr frowned and asked with concern.

“Pu!” Nova, who was stiff and motionless, spat out a blood arrow. Her sturdy body bent down at a speed visible to the naked eye. Originally, his face was full of flesh and blood, but his youthful face suddenly seemed to have aged. He just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“In this matter, he is right. My feelings for Thomas have indeed affected my rationality.” Lady Nova closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “But … Mel, don’t you think Dr. Stan is too ruthless?”

‘”Yes, I can feel it. Although this brat is righteous, he may not be selfless. He should have his own goal. After this incident, the exorcists in the Audi region will probably reshuffle their cards. No matter what, we can’t let him become the regional leader.” Myr said solemnly, “Bonny, you’ve been with him the longest. What do you think?”

“I don’t want to express any opinions until the suspicions of the Albert family are cleared!” Bonny said expressionlessly, but a trace of confusion flashed through the depths of his eyes.

The blonde youth was not an idiot. In the Witch Battle, he actually had doubts about Qin Lun. Although he could not see the final outcome of the witch battle, the doctor had already performed well in the battle against the two evil creatures.

Since Qin Lun had the ability to fight against evil creatures and witches, it would be unreasonable to hide at the side and watch Oddo die in battle. Of course, Bonny couldn’t blame Qin Lun for this. After all, he was a doctor, not a combatant.

“Let’s go down and see Thomas as well. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of’surprises’ tonight.” Myr said with a bitter smile.

Qin Lun walked quickly through the corridors of the castle, followed by three exorcists. The other two exorcists maintained a certain distance and followed behind them unhurriedly. The doctor did not know that his previous performance had aroused the fears of Nova and the other three senior exorcists.

However, even if he knew, Qin Lun didn’t care. He wasn’t really trying to seize the leadership position of the Audi Exorcist.

Qin Lun could have perfunctorily apologized to a senior exorcist when Nova questioned him. He could still hide behind Nova, Myr, and the others without showing his head. At this critical juncture, he suddenly displayed a strong side. He had a certain intention to fight Nuova head-on.

The arrival of more than a thousand townsfolk had already sealed off Baron Albert’s escape route. Unless he could fly and fly into Maya Forest, there was no other way. All the secrets of the Albert Clan will probably be revealed tonight, and Qin Lun’s mission will be settled in the end.

However, the more he reached the end, the more cautious Qin Lun became. These thousands of townsfolk should have organizers, and many of them might have roles like Totti’s Holy Healing Master, Town Mayor, Sheriff, and so on. If the nine exorcists led by Nova and Myr were to unite and unleash their influence on these organizers, they would definitely be able to calm down this disturbance.

If Albert Castle hadn’t been purged and Baron Albert hadn’t opened his mouth, the secrets of the Albert Clan wouldn’t have been exposed. If Nova, Myr, and the others cared about their friendship and waited for the orders of the Exorcist headquarters, Qin Lun might have cooled down the day lily and failed to complete the task.

Therefore, Qin Lun decided to split up the nine exorcists and prevent them from continuing to unite together.

He had performed very well so far. From the scouting mission to discover the evil creature’s purpose, he pointed out that the witch’s cabin was right in front of everyone’s eyes. Help all exorcists heal their wounds and personally kill witches. Until now, after confirming Baron Albert’s suspicions, he had made arrangements in advance to block the escape route of the baron.

Although this ruthlessness made Nova and Myr feel doubtful, it inevitably left an impression on the other exorcists that they were decisive and clever. Some people are not pleasing to the eye, but there will also be people who admire it.

When he defeated a veteran exorcist like Lady Nova, he would naturally increase his prestige and attract a few exorcists who admired him. The three young exorcists behind him were the result of his strong display just now. Unlike Nova and Myr, the three exorcists were still young and did not have such deep friendship with Baron Albert.

With the help of these three exorcists, along with the other two neutral exorcists, the nine exorcists finally broke apart completely. They no longer had the power to stop the next uprising of the townsfolk.
