The Death List Novel - Chapter 68
Chapter 68 Stephen’s Wildness
“You” Baron Albert widened his eyes in shock.
“Haha, everyone is here! Princess Elizabeth, father, Bonny, Laura, my little Miller!” The figure slowly landed on the ground. The bat wings behind him withdrew and slowly fused into his body.
“You’re Stephen … Stephen Albert?” Nova let out a soft cry and looked at the young man in front of her in shock. “The other undead of the Albert Clan is actually like this!”
“Auntie Nova? Long time no see!” Stephen grinned and said indifferently.
“What happened more than a year ago? Did you say that you were the one who answered Little Miller’s question?” Myr asked vigilantly.
“As the Baron’s successor, I already know the secrets of the clan. Of course, every generation of Baron Albert has to sacrifice themselves to sign a contract with the undead as a summoner. However, I’m different from these idiots of the Albert Clan!” Stephen glanced at his family and said indifferently.
‘It is indeed a good thing to be an undying existence, but I have no great ideals of guarding the human world, and I do not wish to be bound by the contract of servants. I met Mary Clare at the edge of Maya Forest by chance. Interestingly, this Maya witch has moved the mortal heart, wishing to restore the lives of ordinary humans.’
A cold smile appeared on Stephen’s face as he looked blankly at Nina. “Haha, I don’t know who Nina is because she concealed her ugly appearance. However, I didn’t expose her. I found that this was my chance. It was an opportunity to be undying without being bound by the Albert family …”
The crowd of exorcists looked at this gloomy-looking youth, and a trace of coldness appeared in their hearts. In Stephen’s narrative, the events of more than a year ago are finally fully uncovered.
“Actually, even Princess Elizabeth and my father don’t really know what happened.” Stephen said with a smile.
“They thought that Nina wanted to turn Little Miller into an undying person, but because of the Albert family’s bloodline, Little Miller got sick. In fact, the person who wanted to turn Little Miller into an undying person was not Nina, nor Princess Elizabeth, but someone else!”
Stephen turned around and smiled at a corner of the banquet hall. “You’re right, aren’t you? Sister Laura … Oh, no, Aunt Laura!”
Miss Laura! Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. As everyone looked at Laura, this kind of subsequent change was truly … unexpected! It seemed that although he had grasped the general context of the incident, the details were still incomplete.
Laura ignored Stephen and the others’ gazes and squatted down to look at Little Miller. “Little fellow, do you blame me?” She asked softly.
“No!” Miller shook his head and threw himself into Laura’s embrace.
Laura smiled sweetly, picked up Little Miller happily, bowed slightly to Elizabeth, and whispered, “I’m sorry, Princess Elizabeth, I can’t be as strong as you.” After I became an undying person, I could no longer endure the departure of my loved ones for only thirty years. Little Miller … No matter what, I can’t watch Little Miller die like Thomas … ”
“Haha, Aunt Laura, have you made your decision? It’s still the same question from more than a year ago. Would you like to leave the Albert family with me?” Stephen asked excitedly.
“Stephen, I’m different from you. I just want to protect Little Miller!” Laura said expressionlessly.
‘”Laura” Elizabeth’s little face revealed a hint of sadness. She had already realized what was going to happen next.
“Laura … my sister!” Baron Thomas Albert looked at Laura with a complicated gaze. ‘Stephen didn’t sign a servant contract. I can’t control him. But I won’t allow you to leave this place. Little Miller must sign a contract with me after this matter is over!’
“I know, brother!” “As the controller of the contract, you can control me, but you can’t control my descendants … Kill him!” Laura lowered her eyelids and revealed a trace of pain.
“Thomas, be careful!” Lady Nova suddenly widened her eyes and looked behind the baron in horror.
“Pu!” Before Baron Albert could react, he felt a chill in his heart. A bloody tip of a knife pierced through his heart and pierced out of his left chest.
“You … Jason!” Baron Albert spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned to look at the old butler behind him in disbelief and slowly collapsed to the ground.
“I’m sorry, Thomas, I can’t go against master’s wishes!” The old housekeeper, Jason, limped and shook his head with a bitter smile. “Doctor Stan is right. Thomas, you can’t take on this responsibility, or the Albert family can’t. Lorenzo Albert is wrong, the Longevity believers are right, and for whatever reason, that’s not a power that humans can keep in private!”
“Hahaha! Good job, Jason! The contract controller is dead. What about you guys, rush out with me or stay here and wait for the exorcist’s purification!” Stephen laughed out loud, his blonde hair fluttering in the air as he pointed at the castle servants in the banquet hall and said, “We are about to usher in a new era of humanity!”
Looking at Baron Albert lying in a pool of blood, a trace of confusion appeared on the faces of the castle servants. A trace of grief and indignation slowly appeared on the faces of most people, while the eyes of a few others flickered as they retreated towards the floor-to-ceiling window at the edge of the hall.
“If the rebels die, kneel down. The Exorcist Organization will rearrange the contestants for you!” Qin Lun’s gloomy voice came from behind. He looked at Stephen and the castle servants in front of him. All the exorcists, including Bonny, slowly tightened their grips on the weapons in their hands.
“Kill them!” Stephen’s wings flapped and he was the first to pounce on the exorcist.
“Ao!” Many inhumane roars rang out in the banquet hall. Looking at Miss Laura who had turned into a giant silver-white wolf, Qin Lun sighed softly and resolutely turned around to leave the banquet hall. He didn’t even look back and ran towards the corridor.
At this moment, a boiling noise could be heard on the lower floors of the banquet hall. The townsfolk were rushing towards the upper floors of the castle …
“Apostle 70053, you have witnessed key historical nodes, satellite-level storyline upgrades to storyline quality. Witnessing the origin of the Audi region’s epidemic, the storyline was upgraded to Star Traveller. “The two Dark Progenitors who witnessed the beginning of the Dark Age of this world, Laura Albert, the werewolf progenitor, and Stephen Albert, the vampire progenitor, have upgraded their storyline to Star Rank.”
[Prompt: Due to Apostle 70053 personally witnessing and changing history, the Exorcist organization sensed the seriousness of the Dark Age ahead of time, eliminated a large number of second and third generations of werewolves and vampires, greatly reduced the history of the Dark Age, and shattered the starry sky to plunder 51 World Essence Points]
[Prompt: When the apostles return, the Broken Universe will calculate the World Exploration Reward based on the World Origin they plundered, and increase the mission evaluation by an appropriate amount!]
Looking at the large number of notifications on the death list, Qin Lun shrugged his shoulders and sped up his pace. There were too few exorcists in the banquet hall. Although ordinary townsfolk could help exorcists obtain victory in this battle, they would definitely not be able to intercept all werewolves and vampires.
Especially Laura and Stephen, the two progenitors, who were estimated to be able to escape from Albert Castle. As for the lives of the others, it was impossible to predict. Little Miller’s body was too weak, and he was very likely to die in the midst of a chaotic battle.
As for Elizabeth … Qin Lun’s eyes lit up, and for the first time, a trace of regret appeared on his face. The undying princess should not have escaped. He could tell from the banquet hall that Elizabeth had the will to die, or that she had become a walking corpse after she became undying.
The first Baron Albert gave the eight-year-old girl too much responsibility. “A thousand years of duty, a thousand years of protection, a thousand years of glory.” In Qin Lun’s eyes, it was more like a thousand years of sorrow.
Lorenzo Albert, the lion of Odia, did not know what he was doing and in a sense buried his little daughter.
It was an inexplicable paradox to oppose the belief of an undying exorcist while protecting the ideal of an exorcist with an undying body. Lorenzo’s ideals were great and underpinned Elizabeth’s struggle against nightmares in the cycle of death of her family and relatives.
Today’s events, however, show that Lorenzo did the wrong thing and that the foundations of the faith have collapsed. Even if the Exorcism Organization did not punish Elizabeth out of respect for Lorenzo, she would not be able to survive.
Qin Lun could understand Elizabeth’s sorrow, but he couldn’t understand it. He had no memories of people or things, and he did not feel sad about the death of his ident. I.ty. In fact, many times, the people beside him were killed by him. Even Frank’s death was only the first time he felt a sense of anger, not sorrow, that his dignity had been violated.
In the eyes of the murderer, there was nothing wrong with being a bystander. Curiosity about mysterious events and new things was his motivation for survival.
Qin Lun quickly saw the townsfolk who had barged into Albert Castle. He wisely hid in a guest room, took off his gown, walked out of the room wearing only a T-shirt, and disguised himself as an ordinary townsfolk.
The doctor continued to walk against the flow of people to the lower level of the castle. However, as he approached the entrance of the castle, his movements were increasingly hindered.
This was not because the townsfolk suspected his identity, but because there were too many people below the castle. Along with the passage of time, not to mention the hundreds of townspeople who had just broken into the castle, countless Audi civilians were still rushing over from the mountain road, almost filling the entire castle. The entire situation was moving towards an uncontrollable situation.
After Qin Lun squeezed out of the main hall of the main castle, his heart finally relaxed. He took a few deep breaths in sweat and continued to head upstream towards the stone bridge outside the castle.
Amidst the crowd, Qin Lun suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked up in surprise. At the far end of his left, a familiar figure appeared in the doctor’s field of vision.
