Chapter 38 The Eve of the Storm
The exorcist team entered the Maiya Forest until they found clues to the Witch's Hut. However, because the team did not move towards the center of the forest from the outside to the inside, but instead moved around the outside, it did not take another two and a half days for them to withdraw from the forest.
After Qin Lun returned to the camp, the long night had just passed and dawn had appeared in the sky. The team did not plan to rest in the camp. Several carriages that stored materials were originally emptied to transport seriously injured and bodies.
The exorcist will not bury the corpses of his companions in the forest casually. For witches, the corpses of the exorcist are the best research materials. In order to avoid defiling the corpses, the exorcist will bring the corpses back to the human world for burial, otherwise they will be cremated directly.
Qin Lun covered a blanket and leaned against the wall of the car, his face was pale and bloodless. This was not because the doctor pretended to be mysterious. He was seriously injured, and he had to endure self-hypnosis all night. Now that he relaxed, his bones almost dissipated.
Unlike when he first entered the forest, on the way back, no exorcist came to him to talk to him on his own initiative, and his expression was a little distant.
Think about it, it is easy to understand. Just like a new colleague came to a business department of a modern company. He was originally enthusiastic, diligent, polite and thoughtful, and everyone had a good impression of him. But in a blink of an eye, he reported the work mistakes of the department leader to the company, but this department leader was usually quite respected. Although the department leader did not do this this time, the betrayer's good popularity was gone, and everyone would definitely stay away from him.
Qin Lun didn't care about what others thought of him. He was not from this world at all. After thinking about it, he reached into his arms and took out a tube of golden reagent to check it out.
"Holy Spirit Potion: Holy Spirit (Pseudo). This is the healing potion of the exorcist organization imitating the Holy Spirit of Eternal Life. The first time you take it, you can always increase a small amount of qi, blood and mana. The specific difference depends on the personal constitution. The main purpose is to cure injuries and extend life, drive away negative states, offset continuous damage, and cannot be used for necrotic creatures. It can be brought into the broken starry sky, and the price is for sale: 1,000 broken crystals."
One thousand broken crystals! Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly, and only after completing the "Secret Exploration" mission can he get two thousand broken crystals. You should know that the sale price is one fifth of the exchange price. In other words, the actual value of this thing should be five thousand broken crystals.
Sure enough, the efforts were proportional to the harvest. Although Qin Lun almost died and survived in the battle with the witch, the harvest was also extremely rich! Even the two tubes of Holy Spirit potion he drank and deceived actually won the respect of the holy healer because he won the respect of the holy healer in the battle with the witch, people would take out such a precious potion.
The mission clues obtained during this trip to Maiya Forest are not mentioned yet, but are only considered items that can be brought into the broken starry sky. He obtained a total of ten moonlight grasses, a pair of demon eyes, a portion of golden silkworm dust, and a tube of holy spirit potion. This is not the golden summoning scroll and the holy spirit potion that he drank.
Of course, there are some unidentified items among them. For the price sold to the Broken Starry Sky, there are a total of 1,900 Broken Crystals. In terms of actual exchange value, it is a total of 9,500 Broken Crystals, which is equivalent to the Broken Crystal reward for five satellite-level plot missions.
After putting the Holy Spirit potion into the storage space, Qin Lun flipped his hand and the evil dagger fell into his palm. In the battle with the witch, the sin dagger stabbed into the core of the witch Mesa. Unexpectedly, the witch Mesa did not die on the spot, but the sin dagger slowly absorbed the undead power in the core.
In fact, the witch Mesha did not die from the devour of the sin dagger. After Qin Lun cleared the witch's hut and absorbed Frank's soul with the Maiya crystal ball, he found that the witch who was stripped into a skeleton angel by Joey had turned into a pile of ashes, as if he had died of serious injuries.
As for the sin dagger that absorbed most of the witch's power, there was also a slight change.
Sin (short dagger)
Faction type: Killing relics (Chaos Evil)
Remnant Quality: 34 (Ten People Kill)
Weight: 215g
Length: 230 mm
Equipment ability: Soul Devouring (special skill of killing relics). It can absorb the soul power of the victim and the power of the same camp. The autonomous soul devouring object is a lower-level creature, and cannot exceed the third level. Under certain conditions, if the enemy loses its resistance, it can devour some soul power of the middle-level creatures.
The original soul quality of the evil dagger was 12. Now it has absorbed the witch's immortal power and has actually risen to 34, with 22 more souls. It can be seen that the witch Mesa has also harmed many creatures and carries a lot of soul energy on her body.
After the quality of the soul was greatly improved, the black edge of the dagger flowed even more gently, and the whole dagger was like a living thing. Qin Lun held the sin in his hand, feeling that from the hilt to the tip of the blade seemed to be every inch of his sharp edge.
After half a day, the exorcist team finally left the Maiya Forest and appeared by the Jiguan River. All the exorcists felt relieved. In the second half of the way home, some exorcists with keen intuition had already noticed that huge danger was approaching the team, making people feel like they were on their backs.
Everyone understands that this may be the support sent by the witch Maiya. If time is delayed for a long time, they may have to undergo a major test.
After leaving the forest, the exorcist team was dispersed again, and some seriously injured people needed to get a good rest. They could no longer bump into Albert Castle and had to go to nearby towns for treatment nearby.
Toti, the only Santa Claus in the team, also wanted to leave, and his attitude was very firm. Although he was not injured, he had nothing to say to take care of other wounded people on the pretext of taking care of other wounded people.
In fact, Ms. Nova and Mail were unwilling to leave the Saint Therapist Totti. Although Totti was not a combatant, each Saint Therapist had a high status in the Exorcist organization. If he had coordinated, as long as the Albert family did not deviate from the fundamental principles of the Exorcist, they believed that things could be solved smoothly.
Looking at Totti's departure back, Qin Lun's eyes flashed with no idea what he was thinking. The holy healer finally agreed to his plan, just like Ms. Nova and Mail, the exorcist, could not realize the major harm of the infectious disease. Totti, a non-combatant, also did not realize how big a storm was brewing in Qin Lun's seemingly simple plan.
"Doctor Stan, you are also seriously injured. Do you want to go with Totty?" Ms. Nova walked to Qin Lun and said lightly.
At first, the Overlord Flower had lost all her favor for Qin Lun. She had a premonition that she would ask the doctor to follow them to Albert Castle. Maybe things would be out of control, so it would be better to send him away now.
"Ms. Nova, the weather is a bit stuffy and there may be heavy rain at night!" Qin Lun raised his head and said ignorantly.
"Isn't it normal for this season to have a storm?" Nova frowned, glanced at Qin Lun, and said lightly, "If you have to go to Albert Castle, I hope you can shut up and let Me and Baron Albert negotiate with me!"
"Ms. Nova, the storm will not be diverted by human will!" Qin Lun closed his eyes gently and stopped talking.
Qin Lun understands the psychology of the Overlord Flower and Maier. These exorcists have been fighting side by side with Albert Castle, with comrades who are thicker than water. As long as there is a hint of possibility, they all want to excuse the Albert family.
What's more, this era is different from a thousand years ago. Witches are no longer the number one threat to the human world. In the eyes of Nova and others, as long as the Albert family did not violate the fundamental principles of exorcists, other mistakes can still be forgiven.
However, Qin Lun understood very well that if his guess was correct, then these exorcists and the Albert family might not be able to reach an understanding.
Qin Lun's mission in another world was actually a secret that the Albert family could not explain to outsiders. The fundamental position of both sides was an opposition. He has been using various conditions and clues to explore the privacy of the Albert family.
The Witch Notes are the best weapon Qin Lun found, and you can see it from the sight of the leopard. From Boni, he could completely imagine how powerful the Albert family's force was. In addition, the connections they had were not something Qin Lun could fight against. Therefore, he could only use the exorcist to get the desired result.
In fact, the information displayed in the witch's intelligence is indeed not a big deal. Even if Stephen really married a witch, you should know that Stephen did not join the Exorcist organization. What can the Albert family do when developing magical creatures? There is no evidence that they have hurt other ordinary humans.
This is also the main reason why Nova and others wanted to talk to Baron Albert first instead of using force to fight against the Albert family immediately. If there was no such an upcoming epidemic and Qin Lun, Nova and others would not have come to the door like this, but would have reminded Baron Albert in a more obscure way.
The reason why the current urgent opposition situation was completely triggered by Qin Lun. However, at this point, although the murderer used all the people and intelligence that could be used, he did not do anything wrong, or his position itself was not wrong.
The tasks given by the Broken Starry Sky are not randomly cited. Even if they are just guided by a novice apostle, they must be historical and regional, and they are nothing more than the size of the affected geographical area and the length of time span.
What Qin Lun is doing now, in addition to his own mission, is indeed to prevent the spread of the epidemic in the Audia region.
Is the outbreak of Odia an immortal plague? Is this disease inherently related to the Albert family? What impact will the disease eventually have on Odia, the Principality of Meze, and even the whole world?
These questions are still unknown. Qin Lun triggered the opposition between the Exorcist and the Albert family, and the most direct purpose was to complete the "exploration" mission about Stephen Albert. Of course, in this process, the answers to these questions will also be revealed.
