Chapter 46 The Immortal Princess
"Dang!" The iron lock hit the solid corridor, making a huge noise, which scared the many intruders in this sub-fort.
"Hey, open the iron fence quickly, check the last floor, we will go out immediately, the mayor is still waiting for everyone." A middle-aged town citizen frowned and covered his nose, "It's so smelly here!"
There are many ferocious beasts imprisoned in the prison sub-castle, and there are few doors and windows, and the animals are filled with feces and body odors. Although the main fort and the four sub-castles of Albert Castle have been invaded by the townsmen, the deputy prison sub-castle only has various dirty cells and torture instruments. Ordinary townsmen just checked the following floors and stopped going deeper, and directly withdrew from the sub-castle.
The townsmen who are still in the prison guards are still inspecting all the cells. They are security teams led by the town sheriffs of various towns. Their mission is to prevent ordinary townsmen from harming innocent people in the castle, minimize the damage to Albert Castle, and collect evidence and antidotes from the Albert family about the epidemic.
"Hey, look! This is... what, a wolf? Is this... too big, right?" Open the corridor fence leading to the uppermost iron prison, and the townsmen who were the first to enter looked at the creatures in the iron prison in front of them in shock.
"This is probably the magic creature that Toti's Saint Therapist said..." The two sheriffs of the security team looked at each other, and looked at several magnificent werewolfs and swallowed.
"Let's be gentle. These werewolfs have probably been anesthetized. Don't disturb them!" The sheriff gently instructed all the townsmen.
"Sir, there are living people here!" A townshipman who walked to the end of the iron prison area suddenly suppressed his voice and waved to the two sheriffs.
This inside cell has a human whose limbs and neck are locked by an iron collar. The man knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and his face was covered by messy hair. However, judging from his body shape and exposed skin, he should be a young man.
"Sir, he's still alive!"
"Go open the prison door and get him out!" The two sheriffs looked at the iron prison with anger. "The Albert family really has an ulterior secret!"
The Exorcist family raises magical creatures, and although it makes the two sheriffs who understand the inside story of the Exorcist a little unhappy, the Odia area is the front line of fighting against evil creatures after all, and they can understand this approach.
However, if a living person appears in the cell, the nature will be different. The imprisonment and judgment of a living person should belong to the secular regime, which is equivalent to the Albert family invading the jurisdiction of the two sheriffs, which will of course arouse their anger.
After a long time, several town residents finally opened the iron collar that locked the young man with a crowbar and helped him out of the cell.
"Hey, why do I feel he is a little familiar?" A sheriff stroked the young man's blond hair and turned his head to look at his companion in surprise.
"...Who are you?" the young man suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice.
"We are the sheriffs of Odia, collecting crimes from the Albert family!" Another sheriff squatted in front of the young man and comforted softly, "Young man, you are safe now. Tell me, why are you imprisoned by Baron Albert in private, who are you?"
"Collection of the crimes of the Albert family? Who am I...?" A trace of pain suddenly appeared on the young man's face, and he trembled all over and held his head on the ground with his hands in his arms. "Albert...Who am I?"
"Hey, he...I know who he is!" The sheriff who had been frowning and thinking hard suddenly widened his eyes and pointed at the young man as if he saw a ghost. "He is... Baron Albert's eldest son, Stephen Albert, I've attended his funeral!"
"I am... Stephen Albert?! My Nina... No, Mary! Little Miller..." Hearing Stephen's name, the young man suddenly stopped trembling, muttered to himself and raised his upper body, his originally confused eyes slowly becoming clear.
"I remembered it...I remembered it all, haha, it turns out that I am still alive, that old guy is not willing to kill me?!" Stephen's face showed ecstasy, "What a pity Nina... Haha, what's there? Are there other witches in the Maiya Forest?"
"Stephen, since you are Stephen, you still remember what happened more than a year ago? Is there an antidote to the kind of immortal plague developed by Baron Albert?" the two sheriffs looked at each other and asked in surprise.
"A little over a year ago... has it been more than a year since? No wonder I am so hungry!" Stephen glanced at his thin hands, looked up at the two sheriffs and several other townsmen, and showed a meaningful smile, "I don't know what an immortal plague, I just know I'm very hungry, really... Thank you for letting me out!"
Under the dim lights in the corridor, Stephen's shadow projected on the wall grew sharply and rushed towards the sheriff.
"Ah! You...what are you? Save...help!" The screams of the sheriff and the townsmen were faintly heard from the top of the prison deputy fort.
...
Surprised, confused, confused, solemn... Many expressions appeared on the faces of the two gangs confronting each other in the banquet hall, and only the person involved who was accused by Qin Lun looked indifferent.
The immortal princess who was called Albert by Qin Lun, wearing a princess dress, still had a sweet smile on her round and white little face. The little princess played with her curly blonde hair with her chubby fingers, held the doll in her arms and stepped forward two steps.
"What a wonderful reasoning! Doctor Stan, I think that an exorcist like you, even in the last century more than 300 years ago, would be enough to become the chief of staff of the Exorcist Legion." Elizabeth blinked at Qin Lun playfully, "But I still have a question. Can you answer me truthfully?"
As soon as Elizabeth's words opened, the exorcists showed shock on their faces. Although they had already believed Qin Lun's inference in their hearts, the confirmation from a young girl still made everyone feel incredible.
"My little princess, if you have any questions, just ask!" Qin Lun nodded enthusiastically.
He didn't mind delaying for a little longer. Although the gate of the main castle was very strong, it probably couldn't last long in front of thousands of townsmen. His mission had been completed, and he had no interest in participating in the battle that was likely to happen next. Leaving Albert Castle in the chaos was the best choice.
"Hehe, Doctor Stan, you just said that you had obtained another evidence and ruled out Laura's suspicion!" Elizabeth pouted, sucked her chubby fingers, and said with big eyes flashing, "Can you tell me what kind of evidence it is? Little Elizabeth feels that she is pretending very well!"
"Oh? This!" Qin Lun frowned and spread his hands and said, "Actually, it's better that you don't know! Because... even without that evidence, your disguise is bad!"
"Say! If you don't say anything, Elizabeth won't let you go!" The girl shook the doll in anger and waved her small fist viciously.
"Okay, let's talk about the decisive evidence first!" A smile appeared on Qin Lun's face, "Do you remember on the first night I came to the castle, after I finished dinner, I ran into you on the female wall outside the castle?"
"Of course I remember, it seemed that it rained one day!" Elizabeth tilted his head and thought, "You are just suspicious that I am an undead when I saw that I was in the rain and was not sick, right?"
"Haha, of course not!" Qin Lun smiled, "It was after I became an exorcist that I realized something was wrong that night! You once told me the family motto of the Albert family that night, right?"
"A thousand years of duty, a thousand years of protection, a thousand years of glory!" Elizabeth lowered her eyelids and said in a serious tone, "Is this the sentence?"
"Well, yes! You said at that time that this is what your father said!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he said with a serious expression for the first time.
"After becoming an exorcist, I learned about Stephen from Boni. It seems that in your impression, Stephen does not like fighting and has no interest in becoming an exorcist. Although Nina only revealed her identity more than a year ago, as her husband, I believe Stephen should have learned this fact earlier than you, otherwise Nina would not have taken him to escape to the Maiya Forest!
If Stephen had learned Nina's true identity a long time ago, then the problem would be. He did not like fighting, did not want to become an exorcist, and even concealed the truth that his wife was the witch Maiya. How could such a descendant of Albert keep the family exorcist motto of the family?”
Elizabeth had a bitter face and her eyebrows were frowned. She seemed to know what Qin Lun would say next. Sure enough, Qin Lun looked at her meaningfully and continued to say with a smile.
"So, I doubted at the time that your father was not Stephen Albert! And when I saw the portrait of the first Baron Albert in Albert's library sub-castle, and saw the family precept below the portrait, I knew who your father was!"
Qin Lun bowed gracefully to Elizabeth, "Please accept the respect of a backward exorcist to your father. The first Baron Albert, Lorenzo Albert, is a role model for all of us exorcists!"
"You guessed it! Forget it, don't be polite anymore. I start to hate your cleverness!" The smile on Elizabeth's face finally disappeared, she sighed helplessly, and waved her hand weakly, "Are there any other flaws?"
"Yes, many! However, compared with this guess, there are some small details!" Qin Lun nodded honestly, "If you finish asking, I have a question to ask you too! I don't know..."
"Are you trying to ask me why I became an undead?" Elizabeth calmly closed her big eyes, as if she was trapped in a long-standing memory, "It's okay, I will tell you! My father once said that if I get tired one day, I don't have to worry about the Albert family anymore, and I can tell all this to the world!"
PS: I asked weakly, can the gluttons ask for a monthly ticket?
