Chapter 17 The Millennium Deed

If possible, Qin Lun hopes to delay a few days before replying to Baron Albert, so that the credibility will be higher. However, it has been almost half a month since he entered this world. Although he feels that he has slowly approached the core of the mission, time is no longer enough.

Therefore, after dinner, Qin Lun took the initiative to find Baron Albert and expressed his willingness to join the exorcist camp to further protect the Odia area.

Baron Albert was very happy and took Qin Lun and Boni to a sub-fort hall on the right side of the main castle.

This sub-castle hall is actually a library, surrounded by tall bookshelves, rows of well-maintained hardcover books can even smell the fragrance of ink. Above these bookshelf, many portraits of people are hung.

These portraits are both men and women. Judging from their appearance, they are somewhat similar to Baron Albert and Boni. They should be both ancestors of the Albert family.

Qin Lun's eyes fell on the bookshelf in the back of the hall, on a portrait of a person in the center. This portrait is twice as big as the portrait of other characters, and the oil painting depicts a tall knight in plate armor.

The knight held his helmet in his left hand and inserted the great sword into the ground with his right hand as a crutch. He stood on the top platform of Albert Castle, staring at the Great Forest of Maiya in front of him with bright eyes.

Below this painting, a line of small words is inscribed.

"A thousand years of duty, thousand years of protection, thousand years of glory! We are Albert of Odia!"

A very familiar sentence! Qin Lun's eyes flashed and he rubbed his temples.

In the center of this library is a small salon with a large round coffee table and some rattan chairs.

"Doctor Stan, I'm glad you can join us! Please sit down!" Baron Albert picked a rattan chair and sat down, stretched out his hand to signal Qin Lun to sit down.

"His Excellency Baron, do you need to go through any rituals to join the exorcist?" Qin Lun asked with a smile.

"Haha, no need, no need!" Baron Albert waved his hand with a smile, "Exorcist is not a religious organization, on the contrary, it is more like a loose mutual aid group. As long as there are old members' recommendations, anyone can become an exorcist, but if you want to become an exorcist, you must have the courage and will to fight against evil!"

"It is the honor of the Stan family to be able to serve the exorcists!" Qin Lun leaned forward slightly, "I would like to ask the Baron for more advice in the future!"

"It's not a question of advice. Since I have introduced you to the society, I will naturally tell you some of the truth of history and the purpose of our exorcists!" Baron Albert took the wine glass handed over by Boni, shook it gently in his hand, his eyes falling into memories with a little blurred look.

More than three thousand years ago, various booming human settlements appeared on the continent. The improvement of productivity has gradually produced classes and kingdoms in these human settlements, and humans at the top of the pyramid began to enslave other people.

A large amount of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people, and after satisfying the most basic food and clothing, these people began to pursue spiritual liberation. Some of them devoted all their energy to the noble cause that improves the overall well-being of mankind. Others began to pursue higher personal enjoyment and tried to prolong their lives.

Over time, the former noble character proposed the concept of faith and began to spread the gospel on the mainland. They hoped that all human beings could have a spiritual sustenance, liberate their minds and souls, and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude even under harsh living conditions.

The latter type of people who pursue personal interests frantically begin to accumulate wealth, persecute the people, and plunder other countries' land. They use wealth and knowledge to begin to study the mystery of immortality.

Unlike the time and space of the earth where Qin Lun is located, over the long river of time, these two people have discovered the mystery of immortality and some other powerful spells.

However, the mystery of immortality discovered by these two types of people is different. The former person obtains the mystery of "eternal life" through faith and firm will. The latter person obtains the real mystery of "immortality".

The mystery of "Eternal Life" requires a pure heart and strong will. They call themselves "believers". The mystery of "Immortality" relies on external forces. They named it "witchcraft" and used "witchcraft" to create evil magic creatures and called themselves "wizards".

Believers and wizards not only gained completely opposite powers, but also had ideas at two extremes. They rarely had irreconcilable contradictions and the war began!

At the beginning of the war, because the requirements for the birth of believers were too high, and wizards who rely on external forces were relatively easy, the believers retreated step by step. However, at this time, ordinary people who were bullied and persecuted by wizards for a long time began to join the believers' camp.

These ordinary people do not have a long life, but their number accounts for 99.9% of the human world. After uniting, they defeated the wizards almost invincible. In the long-term war, some ordinary people also gained quite powerful combat power.

Under the advocacy of believers, these ordinary people with powerful combat power joined hands with believers to jointly establish the Exorcist organization. The purpose of establishing the Exorcist organization is to expel "wizards" and their magical creatures and protect the human world.

In the final battle, most male wizards disappeared into the world, leaving only a few female wizards to escape into forests, deserts, mountains, swamps, etc., with the worst living conditions.

The believer camp has also suffered great trauma. The remaining believers feel that both the mystery of immortality and the mystery of immortality have too many temptations for ordinary humans.

Therefore, they used their lives to launch a powerful guardian spell, sealing the secrets of these two laws of this world forever. Apart from the remaining witches and a small amount of potions that can give birth to the undead in the hands of the witches, there is no longer any immortal or undead in the world.

In order to protect the world, believers' noble concept of sacrifice, impressed all exorcists. They vowed to protect these two secrets and never see the light of day again, and were willing to chase the witches who returned to the human world for generations and the magical creatures they created.

In the following years, the witches gathered their strength and repeatedly fought back from all corners of the human world. Although they were all defeated by the Exorcist organization, ordinary people in the human world also suffered heavy casualties.

Under this premise, the exorcist reached an agreement with the witches. The witches and their magical creatures no longer appear in front of ordinary people, and the exorcist no longer chases the witches who settle in remote corners.

The term of this agreement is one thousand years. The exorcists believe that in a thousand years, human beings will become stronger and a rare number of witches will not be a problem. The witches believe that in a thousand years, the exorcists will lose their faith and inheritance power, and they will be able to rule the world again, and use the power of the world's laws to break the guardian spells of believers and start the era of great wizards.

"The agreement between the witch and the exorcist is called the Millennium Confession, and more than three hundred years have passed now!" The old baron shook his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Is there a witch in the Maiya Forest?" Qin Lun asked quietly.

"There is more than one witch in the Great Maiya Forest. The area of ​​this forest is too large, with more than ten witches hiding in it. Unless humans burn the entire Great Maiya Forest, many people will die under the cover of the terrain." Baron Albert said with a wry smile, "If this were not the case, those witches had been killed by the Exorcist organization hundreds of years ago!"

"Doctor Stan doesn't have to worry. In fact, there is really only one witch near the edge of the Odia area. And the exorcists surrounding the Great Forest of Maiya are not only the Albert family, but there are five exorcist families in the Maiya forest in the Duchy of Maiya." Boni added with a smile.

"Since there is a thousand-year contract, why is my entourage still attacked by gargoyles near the castle?" Qin Lun suddenly frowned and asked.

The Baron and Boni looked at each other, and the old Baron spoke and explained: "No contract can be perfect, and the Millennium Deed also has loopholes. At that time, when the contract was signed, the magic oath restricted the attacks of witches and magic creatures on humans, but did not include the magic creatures remade by the witches after this!"

"So, those cunning witches took advantage of this loophole and often sent newly-made magic creatures to attack humans?" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this useful?"

"Well, they have limited resources at hand. The purpose of doing this is to plunder some other people as slaves, and use these prisoners to test all kinds of evil black magic!" Boni nodded and said in a deep voice, "However, we are the same. The exorcist family often lets some members avoid oaths and enter the Great Forest of Maiya to reconnaise the movements of the witches."

"So, the gargoyles on the castle stone bridge..." Qin Lun rolled his eyes and asked softly.

"Only a small number of them are real stone statues!" Boni said with a smile.

"Doctor Stan, do you have any questions?" Baron Albert looked at Qin Lun with a smile.

"Well, there is another last question!" Qin Lun pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is this epidemic a masterpiece of a witch?"

"We don't know yet, but using the epidemic virus to greatly reduce humans in the Odia area will indeed help them rush out of the Maiya Forest in the future!" The Baron's eyes flashed and hesitated, but Boni hesitated for a moment and kept silent.

The reactions of the two fell into Qin Lun's eyes, but he did not question the two of them anymore, but just nodded with a smile.

"Doctor Stan, in two days, we will organize a reconnaissance team to enter the Maya Forest. I wonder if you are interested in being a doctor with the team and joining the reconnaissance team!" Baron Albert asked seriously.

"Haha, if this is the test of the Exorcist organization for newcomers, I am happy to show everyone the courage of the Stan family!" Qin Lun raised his wine glass and paid tribute to the two Alberts opposite him.
