The Death List Novel - Chapter 67

Chapter 67 Decision More Than 300 Years Ago
More than three hundred years ago, the combined forces of the Immortal and Exorcist forces won the final victory. Most of the undying adepts were eliminated, and only a few of the female adepts left the battlefield under the cover of the men.

The witches were forced to flee, and some of them escaped into Maya Forest. At that time, the leader of the exorcists chasing after Maya was Lorenzo Albert, the first Baron Albert.

The Myya Forest was huge, just like an independent kingdom. Moreover, the terrain in the forest was complicated and there were many ferocious beasts. Lorenzo knew that even if he chased after all the exorcists and troops, he wouldn’t be able to completely annihilate the Maya witches.

Thus, he decided to stop pursuing. Under the coordination of the Exorcist headquarters, the human principalities and kingdoms on the border with Maya Forest contributed money to build several sentry strongholds around the forest and surrounded the Maya witches.

Along with the construction of Albert Castle, the Exorcist and the Mayan witches signed a thousand year contract. The Maya witches were no longer allowed to move out of the Mya Forest at will, and the exorcists no longer entered the depths of the forest to hunt down the Maya witches. Although this millennium agreement had magical effects, many of its terms were vague. Both sides had their own thoughts and treated it as a slow-motion tactic.

Baron Lorenzo Albert was a shrewd exorcist leader who knew both the weaknesses of witches and the flaws of humans. The baron firmly believed that with a thousand years of buffer, even if humans lagged behind witches in the supernatural realm, they would definitely be able to abandon witches in other realms. At that time, the witches would have to die naturally.

However, the baron was similarly worried that humans with extremely short lifespans would forget about the threat that the Mayan witches posed to the human world due to their upgrading. Only those old exorcists who had experienced the war years would be able to firmly believe and never compromise with any evil forces.

In this situation, the baron had a fantastic idea. He hoped that the next Immortal or Undead would remain in the Exorcist camp. This Immortal or Undead would teach the younger generation to stick to the faith of the Exorcist until it lasted for a long thousand years.

There was no hope of becoming an immortal. The immortal believers were about to use their lives to seal the immortal and immortal powers, so it was impossible for them to agree with him. Therefore, the baron could only hope to preserve the immortal of the next exorcist camp.

The baron knew that his thoughts were somewhat unorthodox and would never be approved by his fellow exorcists, so he could only carry them out within the Albert Clan. At that time, the members of the Albert Clan were basically all exorcists, and they all had protective power in their bodies, so they were unable to become undying.

After much thought, the baron finally turned his gaze to his youngest daughter, Elizabeth Albert, who had just turned eight. Due to his age, Elizabeth had yet to become an exorcist. He still had a bottle of Undying Potion in his hand that he had left behind from the headquarters of the exorcist. With the help of the magical power he possessed, he could complete the conversion ceremony of the Undying on his own.

Elizabeth’s age was not a problem. The baron was in his prime and could slowly cultivate Elizabeth’s beliefs and abilities. Just like that, an undead with the faith of an exorcist was born …

Of course, there was a slight flaw in the Baron’s plan. He only knew how to use the Undying Potion, but he didn’t know that once the Undying Potion was used, the user’s body would forever retain its original appearance when using the Potion. Thus, Elizabeth became an eight-year-old princess who would never grow up!

“For my father’s sake, I don’t mind this little girl’s body that will never grow up!” Elizabeth smiled sweetly as she pulled the princess’ dress around the banquet hall. However, her eyes revealed a trace of sorrow. “When father realized that I would never grow up again, he destroyed all the records in the family about me and asked Baron Albert of every generation to protect me, the undying princess!”

“Thomas, is that so?” Hearing Elizabeth reveal the secrets of the Albert family, Nova’s eyes flashed with surprise. She couldn’t help but look at Baron Thomas Albert.

Seeing that Thomas, Baron Albert of this generation, nodded lightly, the hearts of the exorcists were filled with mixed emotions. Although they still maintained their encirclement, the alert on their faces eased considerably.

Just as they could see the accuracy of Qin Lun’s conjecture, they could now determine whether Elizabeth was real or not. These shrewd exorcists could see through such a story at a glance.

If what the Albert Clan had done was related to the first generation of Baron Albert, as long as they did not resist, then the right or wrong would probably be decided by the Exorcist headquarters.

At this moment, a discordant voice came from the banquet hall.

“Since Baron Lorenzo Albert has asked you to teach the Albert family’s younger generation, what about the two newly born creatures?” At some unknown time, Qin Lun had already retreated from the center of the banquet hall to the vicinity of the door.

“Even though the Undying is his daughter, father is still worried that the Undying Potion will change my mind, so he signed a servant contract with me.” Elizabeth ignored Qin Lun’s question and looked at the doll in her hand.

“The contract with the servants of the Undying canceled out the guardian power in his body and damaged his health. In just twenty years, he had reached the end of his life.” Elizabeth spread out her snow-white little arms and gestured.

“Did you know that the man who was once known as the Audi Lion weighed only forty kilograms when he died? His limbs were as dry as firewood and his belly bulged like a stray dog that died on the street!”

A chill rose from the crowd’s tails, and Elizabeth’s words were like soft whispers from the Netherworld.

“Fifty years after my father died, I woke up from my nightmares countless times. I repeated what my father taught me over and over again. ‘A thousand years of duty, a thousand years of protection, a thousand years of glory.’ At that time, I felt like I had died with my father. These words were our tomb inscriptions!”

Elizabeth raised her head and smiled sweetly. “Fortunately, the nightmares about my father only lasted for more than fifty years. After that, I will never dream of my father again. Even if I have seen his portrait during the day, I will never be able to remember him in my dreams.”

Qin Lun sighed softly. He knew that Elizabeth had not finished her words.

“Father has left my dream, but the nightmare is not over! A hundred years later, other people began to appear in my dream. Not only did they have members of Albert, but they also had servants to take care of me.” Elizabeth trembled slightly as she hugged the doll tightly, as if it was the only way to feel a hint of warmth.

‘”You should understand, don’t you, Doctor Stan? The feeling of seeing familiar people die in front of you and being helpless. I played with them on the lawn and watched them grow up. Those innocent and cute smiles slowly matured and became old and withered.”

I am their playmate, their sister, their mother, their teacher, their daughter and their granddaughter. They accompany me, protect me, take care of me. And I taught them to rely on them, and finally … bury them! ”

“Every funeral in that hundred years, I remember the old man’s life in the coffin. Joy, sadness, helplessness, pain, they have everything in life!” A trace of envy appeared on Elizabeth’s face. “Sometimes, I wonder if I could have all of this if it was me lying there!”

“Father gave me a long life, but he also took my life. I was like a bystander, seeing the lives of others.” At this point, Elizabeth revealed a hint of joy and waved her small fist.

‘”But in an accident, I had an argument with one of Albert’s companions. We fought like two warriors. He pulled my hair and broke my head. I bit his hand and kicked his butt. In the fight, his wounds were stained with my blood. A week later, he became the first … Albert werewolf!”

“Princess Elizabeth was telling the truth. This incident shocked Baron Albert at the time. They initially imprisoned the werewolves in the secondary castle of the prison, but they later discovered that the werewolves that Albert’s members had turned into were still intelligent enough to be helpers of the exorcists. So, with Princess Elizabeth’s consent, she began to nurture a portion of Albert’s members to become werewolves … ”

Thomas sighed and said seriously, “Later, the plan slowly expanded to some of the servants who had been serving the Albert family.” “This cannot be blamed on Princess Elizabeth alone. No one has the heart to see it … In fact, the Albert family rarely marries with the outside world because of this. Other than having to sacrifice one person to become a baron, the other Albert exorcists will be sent out to the castle when they grow up.”

“So you originally planned to make Stephen the next Baron Albert and let Bonnie continue the Albert family’s human bloodline?” Myr frowned and said, “Then what about Little Miller?”

“Bang!” A large floor-to-ceiling window in the banquet hall suddenly exploded. A vigorous figure pounced into the banquet hall from outside the window. At the same time, a hoarse and deep male voice sounded.

“Let me answer your exorcist’s question!”

“What … is this?” After seeing the figure pouncing into the banquet hall through the window, a trace of shock appeared on the faces of the exorcists.

The man was dressed as a town sheriff. His hair was long and wet, and his face was pale and handsome. His pupils were strangely purple, and two sharp canine teeth were exposed outside his lips. The strangest thing was that a pair of giant bat wings slowly flapped behind him. Some of them resembled the wings of a stone statue ghost, floating half a foot above the ground.

Qin Lun’s pupils narrowed slightly. The exorcists didn’t recognize this creature, but he had seen it in some books. This was a mythical creature that often appeared with werewolves-vampires, also known as vampires.
