Chapter 9 Illusions
After the dinner, Qin Lun wandered around the castle with his hands behind his back.
It's already night now, but it's not time to lie down and rest. This time period should be the best time for the host to entertain guests for tea and chat. However, due to the doubts of the Baron's son Boni Albert of Qin Lun at the dinner, Baron Albert's doubts about Qin Lun obviously made it difficult for Baron Albert to invite guests for tea and chat.
Qin Lun is now a doctor, and he is a visitor as a doctor. It is obviously not polite to avoid this topic. When it comes to this topic, it is a bit questionable under the current situation. This is not a noble way of hospitality.
What's more, the Barons' family is not a doctor after all, and questioning someone's professional field once can be called curiosity. If you question the second time, even the most basic etiquette will be lost. As a hereditary nobleman, Baron Thomas Albert cannot do this.
Of course, the Baron doesn't know his daughter Miss Laura yet, and he has actually questioned Qin Lun once.
Albert Castle has a large interior space, and the main castle and the surrounding four sub-castles are connected together by hanging stone bridges. In contrast, there are not many Albert family and servants in the castle, which is a bit depressing.
When you look from outside during the day, it looks majestic, but at night, the huge creature on the cliff looks a bit gloomy and terrifying due to its lack of popularity. If a group of crows surrounded nearby and croaked and shouted a few more times, it would be believed by anyone to say that it was a ghost castle.
Since Qin Lun was a VIP invited by the Baron, and the owner also said that he was allowed to visit, so he was unobstructed in the castle. Of course, Qin Lun would not have been able to go to the owner's bedroom and study to "visit".
He did not go back to his guest room and wandered around the castle. In addition to trying to familiarize himself with the internal structure and terrain of the castle, he naturally had another unspeakable purpose.
"How to get to the castle's female wall?"
Qin Lun remembered that the Baron had said that he could see the full picture of Odia from the height of the castle, and he couldn't help but stop a maid in the corridor and asked.
(The female wall he refers to here is a battlement built again by Albert Castle on the exterior wall of the castle, like a wall corridor attached to the outside of the castle, located in the upper part of the main castle. As for Odia, it not only refers to the town of Odia, but also refers to the area's human settlement centered on Odia.)
After receiving the guidance of the maid, Qin Lun quickly passed through the well-connected corridor in the castle to outside the castle's female wall.
At this time, the heavy rain outside the castle had stopped, and the cool breeze filled with water vapor made Qin Lun extremely comfortable. The lights in several small towns at the foot of the mountain were as scattered as stars in the sky, reflecting a peaceful and peaceful moonlit night scenery.
"Is Odia beautiful?" A crisp childish voice came from the darkness.
"Hmm?" Qin Lun turned around and saw a small figure walking out from the dark corner of the female wall.
"Miss Elizabeth?" Qin Lun looked at the cute little princess of the Baron's house with some surprise, "Do you have no servants to follow you?"
"I don't need their care!" Elizabeth shook her head like a little adult, with a serious face.
Qin Lun touched his nose and looked at this cute and beautiful little loli with a smile. Even with his indifferent nature, he had to admit that the little guy is cute as he is to refute all living beings.
"It's really beautiful, but the wind is very strong here. Miss Elizabeth should go back to the room to sleep!" Qin Lun squatted in front of the little girl and reached out to pull the little guy's arm.
"I don't want to sleep yet. Can Mr. Stan let me ride on my shoulders? I'm too short to see the night view in the distance of Odia." Elizabeth puffed his cheeks and made his request without hesitation.
"Okay, but after watching, we'll go back, can you?" Qin Lun put his hands on Elizabeth's armpit and asked her to ride on his shoulders, but immediately raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Hey, why are you ice and wet on your body? You've been wet, right?"
"It's so beautiful!" Elizabeth did not answer Qin Lun, but instead opened his little arms like an adult, as if he wanted to embrace the entire Odia in his small arms. "Willington, have you been wet in the rain?"
"Miss Elizabeth, you should call me Mr. Stan!" Qin Lun's strangeness had reached an unparalleled level, but he still answered honestly, "I rarely get wet in the rain and don't like wet weather."
Whether it is a mental hospital or a heavy prison in Handan, as long as it is a rainy day, the originally narrow cell will be even colder and wet. Qin Lun will like to have ghosts on rainy days.
"Well, I can feel that what you are telling the truth this time!" Elizabeth murmured to herself as she looked into the distance, "I don't like rainy days either. There is no sun on rainy days. I haven't seen the sun for a long time. Sometimes, I really want to stand here all night until I see the sunrise in the sky!"
This time I told the truth! Then when did I tell lies? Maybe this little guy would be a breakthrough!
Qin Lun's face turned dark, his eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Miss Elizabeth, your family doesn't seem to believe that I can cure the disease?"
"Hehe, the only one who can protect Odia is the Albert family!" Elizabeth's childish laughter was exquisite and pleasant, "My father once said that Odia is the responsibility of the Albert family for thousands of years, the protection of thousands of years, and the glory of thousands of years! No one can replace Albert to protect this land!"
"This is really a heavy responsibility! Is your father the Lord Baron or Lord Boni?" Qin Lun smiled unquestionably. It was boring to argue with a little girl about this topic.
"No, it's not them! Okay, let me down, I should go back to bed!" Elizabeth smiled and patted Qin Lun's head, "Thank you, Wellington, you are a good person!"
"Run slowly, Miss Elizabeth!"
A little girl actually sent a good person card. Qin Lun looked helplessly as Elizabeth jumped and disappeared at the end of the aisle.
...
In this castle, even an eight-year-old girl didn't believe that she could cure the epidemic! Qin Lun was thinking while slowly walking towards his guest room.
No, if they really don’t believe it at all, they won’t question the surgical process. Since there are doubts, it means that the Albert family is still unable to confirm whether the surgery is effective for the epidemic.
On the contrary, they did not question the potion "World Tree Flower Dew" that was spread by the townspeople, which showed that they did not believe that there were drugs that could treat the epidemic. This family must have known some inside information, and may even know the origins of the epidemic.
In addition, Elizabeth said that she was not the Baron's daughter, nor the daughter of Boni Albert. Could she be that person, Stephen Albert's daughter?
Qin Lun finally came to his guest room while thinking.
After entering the room and closing the door again, Qin Lun subconsciously glanced at the empty room. When his eyes fell somewhere, the murderer's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a pinhole.
"Vomit!" Qin Lun bent over and retching in pain, dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't help but reach out to cover his face, and a low roar like a wild beast appeared in his throat.
A bloody and brutal aura rose from the murderer and spread out in the room. Between his fingers covering his face, two crazy scarlet blood rays burst out.
At the same time, in a bedroom in the castle, a figure sat upright from the bed as if frightened, and two light blue light fires lit up in the dark.
"This direction is... such a violent and terrifying aura!" the figure muttered to himself, "I originally thought the smell of blood on his body was brought by the doctor's profession... I'm so old that I've really misunderstood! Unexpectedly, our Dr. Stan is not a little sheep, but a big bad wolf! Should I tell them? Forget it, I won't tell them for now, how fun this should be! Haha~~"
The soft slang slowly dissipated in the room, and the figure lay down on the bed again, and soon made a uniform breathing sound. In the other room, Qin Lun had reached his limit and was on the verge of his sanity being about to collapse.
"Damn it, I'm having hallucinations again. It was someone who deliberately did it!" A wild beast-like roar rolled out from Qin Lun's mouth.
"This is impossible, no, Joey... This is not an illusion we have experienced!" Qin Lun's tone changed and he struggled hard.
"Leave it to me, leave it to me!" The roar sounded again.
"No, it's very weird here. It will fail and die!" Qin Lun knelt on the ground, hugged his head, and slammed the floor frantically.
"Let me do it! Ah~~"
"No, let me do it! I promise, I promise!"
"Bang bang bang!" There was a hurried knock outside the door.
"Doctor Stan, are you inside?" The old butler Jason's voice rang outside the door.
"Remember, you have to remember, you have promised it, you have promised it..." Qin Lun's body stiffened slightly, and the low roar in his throat slowly lowered.
"Butler Jason, please forgive me. I just knocked over something!" Qin Lun slowly stood up from the ground with sweat on his head, his face pale.
"Ah? Do you need me to ask someone to come in and clean it?" the old butler asked in confusion.
"No, no need, I have cleaned it up, I don't have to bother you!" Qin Lun replied firmly.
After sending the old housekeeper away, Qin Lun took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, turned around again, and looked at the desk beside the wall with complicated eyes.
On the desk, a wrinkled note on the desk was quietly flat, with several names and place names written on it. Between these words, there were some disorderly black lines, as if they were a child's graffiti.
This is the letter paper that was torn apart by Qin Lun and thrown into the cliff in the storm!
However, this letter paper is not only without any signs of damage, but also without any signs of being wet by rain. However, there is a line of beautiful handwriting under the letter paper.
"Please save us!"
