Chapter 16 The Gargoyle Core
"Father, you..." The tall and handsome blonde young man Boni called behind him with some hesitation.
"Doctor Stan, he will be exposed to all this sooner or later!" Baron Albert waved his hand, "You come too, maybe you need your strength!"
Boni's lips moved twice, but in the end he did not dissuade him, and followed the two of them silently.
Baron Albert brought Qin Lun and Boni to the main fort hall, pushed open a secret door behind the hall, revealing an underground corridor.
Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he put his right hand behind his back, and the sin fell from his sleeves. Before he could figure out the Baron's intentions, necessary precautions were still needed. The three of them walked along the corridor for a while and then came to a spacious basement.
The basement is square, with bright corridor lights around it, with sword chains and hammers hanging on the walls, and a half-person-high stone platform in the center. The gargoyle that Qin Lun saw last night curled up and lay on it. To his surprise, the gargoyle had turned into a real stone, not like last night, a creature that could move.
"Is this a little demon statue on the stone bridge?" Qin Lun asked with a frown.
"No, this is the real murderer who attacked your follower! It is a magic creature named Gargoyle!" The old baron stared at Qin Lun with a bright look, trying to see something from his face.
"I have to say that your joke is not funny. There is no magic in the world, and there will be no magical creatures!" Qin Lun said with a stern face and expressionless face.
"Hehe, Dr. Stan, you are the most skilled doctor I have ever seen, but in life experience, please believe me, the old man. This world is not as simple as you imagined!" The old baron saw Qin Lun's reaction and shook his head with a smile.
"I heard that on the other end of the mainland, someone has invented a huge jet iron cart that can act on its own without the help of horses and manpower. Perhaps with the development of so-called science and technology, some ancient historical truths will become more and more distant from us. But now, some aristocratic families on the mainland that have a long history still maintain certain historical secrets, and the Albert family is one of them."
"This... a gargoyle is really a magical creature? It's not a beast, nor a stone statue?" Qin Lun touched the gargoyle's hardened bat wings in surprise.
"If you still don't believe it, I will prove it to you!" The old baron nodded to Boni, who was standing quietly beside him.
Boni grinned at Qin Lun, turned around and walked towards the corner of the wall, and took off a ferociously shaped mace.
"Please move a little bit, Dr. Stan!"
Qin Lun took a few steps as he said, and saw Boni lifting his mace and hitting the petrified gargoyle. Suddenly, gravel in the basement splashed, and the gargoyle was slowly smashed into a pile of gravel.
"Doctor Stan, come and see!" After Boni finished smashing, the old baron took two steps forward, groped in the gravel, and found a small stone with red light and handed it to Qin Lun.
Qin Lun's heart moved and took the stone. The stone was shaped like a baby's heart, red and translucent, as if it was wrapped in a ball of flowing magma. When placed in the palm of his hand, he felt warm and very comfortable.
"Apostle No. 70053, you have come into contact with the Gargoyle Core for the first time. This item belongs to a magic item in another world, classified as equipment materials and elemental energy, meets Article 320 of the Broken Law, and opens the Rule Item redemption list!"
"Tip: The apostle can view the Rule item redemption list through the Soul Seal. Apostle No. 70053, your Soul Seal has been connected to the special equipment "Death List", and you can directly check it in the "Death List"!"
Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. He could not control the death list as he pleased. Now is not a good time to check the redemption list. He temporarily put aside the content of this prompt.
"Is this the heart of a gargoyle?" Qin Lun looked at the Baron and his son with curiosity.
"This is called the Gargoyle Core, which is a magical item made by a wizard, specially used to drive Gargoyles." Baron and Boni looked at each other with a smile, and Boni explained, "Doctor Stan, do you believe our words now?"
"It's really incredible that such a small thing can turn a heavy stone statue into a moving creature?" Qin Lun flipped the gargoyle core with his hands in love and asked, "Can I keep it?"
"Of course, your entourage hunted this gargoyle, and it will naturally belong to you!" The old baron nodded with a smile, "Let's go back to the top. The basement is not a good place to talk. I believe you should still have many questions!"
"Hisser Baron, are you willing to tell me the historical truths of the...distant era?" Qin Lun asked cautiously with a flash of eyes.
"Doctor Stan, I shouldn't have told you about these things. The Albert family has been guarding this land for hundreds of years, but we are helpless about the current epidemic in the Audia area. You are the only doctor who can solve this problem, and we must get your assistance!" Baron Albert said with a smile.
"Now it depends only on your own wishes. Are you willing to accept the guidance of the Albert family and become a member of the Exorcist camp? If you don't want to see another dangerous world, then we will not tell you anything again. Please keep a secret from everything you know now. As for the epidemic, we will try our best to repay you in the form of money!"
"Please give me some time to consider!" Qin Lun said hesitantly.
"As you wish!" Baron Albert and Boni looked at each other and bowed slightly with a smile.
After the three of them returned upstairs, the old butler Jason found Qin Lun.
"Doctor Stan, your entourage is awake!"
Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and as the old housekeeper came to Frank's room, Baron Albert and Boni did not come with him again. They knew that the master and servant might have something to talk about.
"Why have you been delaying outside for so long? Do you know that you have shed a lot of blood? The situation just now is very dangerous!" After the old butler went out, Qin Lun looked at the hunchbacked servant with a stern look.
"Master, I just want to come later, which will make you less suspicious!" Frank muttered embarrassedly.
"Then you can't joke about your own life. You are not allowed to be so reckless in the future. If you are going to die, where will I go to find a suitable follower!" Qin Lun said seriously with a stern face.
"I know, Master!" Frank grinned, "They don't doubt us!"
"It shouldn't be!" Qin Lun smiled slightly, "You almost died. They wouldn't have guessed that you had been hiding outside for so long, so naturally they wouldn't have thought that we were actually acting together!"
"By the way, young master, I'll give you this!" The hunchbacked servant took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Qin Lun.
"That person? Take him with you!"
"But he is just an ordinary person?!"
