The Original Vampire

[The lord has the right to accept the support of the people, but at the same time, he must also undertake the obligation to protect the people from all evil. 】

In this dangerous world, although human beings occupy the most fertile land in the middle of this continent, they also suffer from the coveting eyes of various alien races around them.

Therefore, the Radiance Empire established a "Lord's Law" at the beginning of the establishment of the state, which clarified the rights and obligations of the lord.

According to this law, nobles who lose their territories will be stripped of their titles.

Knight Carter is a victim of that law.

Their family's title was stripped from the troll invasion of their territory.

Thus, Carter also became a wandering knight.

Without the support of his territory, the knight lived a miserable life, and he couldn't even get the money to maintain his armor and weapons.

Fortunately, Baron Angeli took him in.

Carter also offered his loyalty to the Angele family.

But apparently, this loyalty did not stand the test.

Because just now, Knight Carter inserted the dagger into the chest of Baron Angele's son.

Also plugged in twice.

Carter looked at Colin's body, the guilt flashed in his eyes, but soon became firm again.

Thinking of that person's commitment to him, Carter felt that his dream of reviving his family was just around the corner.

However, just as Carter stood up from the bed and was about to leave quietly, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Turning around suddenly, Carter only saw a cold light coming towards him!

"Hey!"

A sharp pain came from Carter's chest, causing him to growl in a low voice.

But the physical pain can't hide the fear in the soul - that Colin, who should have died, is alive again!

Is he the devil?

In the midst of anger and panic, Carter subconsciously picked up the dagger in his hand that had not been put away, and stabbed it forward.

"what!"

There was a muffled groan from the opposite side, followed by Colin's gritted laughter: "It hurts, right? You bastard, you stabbed me twice! Oh, no, three times!"

"You...you..." Carter only felt that his body's strength was quickly withdrawn, and his consciousness began to blur.

"Speak! Who sent you here?"

But before Colin could ask anything, Carter's body had gradually softened, and blood could not stop gurgling from his mouth.

Colin approached, only to hear the dying voice of the other party: "Strange...monster..."

Is this dead?

It's too unscrupulous!

Colin looked at Carter, who had completely lost his voice, and suddenly felt a little regret - he should avoid the other party's key points.

Well now, the only clue is broken again.

Looking at the bloody corpse in front of him, Colin took a few breaths, but he didn't panic.

At first, he was considered a legitimate defense, and there was no psychological burden.

Second, this is not the first time he has murdered.

Of course, "he" here refers to the former owner of the body that Colin now occupies.

In his previous life, Ke Lin was a law-abiding citizen, not to mention murder, and he never fought much, but the owner of this body had been on the battlefield, and there were many scenes in his memory that were a hundred times more bloody and terrifying than everything in front of him.

Therefore, after the memory fusion, these are only small scenes for Colin.

Pfft, the candle on the desk was lit.

Colin rolled out the parchment again and recorded:

[The attack on the heart and throat is no longer fatal. 】

Thinking of the legend that vampires seem to be afraid of silver weapons, he added:

[Only ordinary weapons, silver weapons to be tested...]

Writing here, Colin is a little worried again - how is this test?

You can't stab yourself with a silver weapon, can you?

What if you do get stabbed to death?

but,

Colin immediately woke up - what kind of guy in his right mind would use silver as a metal to forge weapons?

Therefore, unless he deliberately exposes his weakness, no one will specially make silver weapons to deal with him.

So he no longer bothered about it.

Putting down the quill, Colin picked up the wine glass on the table and came back to Knight Carter's body.

"puff!"

The dagger on the chest of the corpse was pulled out, and blood gushed out.

Colin's face was calm, and he put the wine glass under the wound.

The flickering candlelight reflected on Colin's pale face, and the smell of blood permeated the air, making it particularly eerie and terrifying in this dark night.

"Gollum, Gollum..."

Take a light bite.

very sweet.

Colin smacked his lips, a little unfinished.

Then he closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body - it seemed to be no different from the reaction after drinking deer blood.

In addition to the body there are some signs of a slight fever.

Colin thought it was the aftermath of the fierce fight just now, so he didn't care too much.

Let's drink animal blood.

Colin still has some psychological barriers to drinking human blood. Since there is no additional benefit, he doesn't have to make himself uncomfortable.

Putting down the blood-stained wine glass, Colin looked at the corpse in front of him and began to worry.

Although he had solved the murderer who attempted to assassinate him, Colin also knew that Knight Carter was just a pawn, and there must be someone else who really killed him.

The reason is simple: if Carter kills him, he will not get any benefit except that he will be hunted to the ends of the earth by the Angele family.

Moreover, there is no personal enmity between him and Carter.

Therefore, someone must have paid a lot of money to buy Carter to assassinate him.

Who will this person be?

Colin searched his memory for a while, but he didn't find any suspicious person.

No way, there are too few clues.

This feeling that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the open made Colin extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, since this person can buy Carter, I am afraid that he can also buy other people.

Is Steward Aemon involved in this?

And what about others?

Thinking of this, Colin suddenly felt that the current Graycastle was very dangerous.

Especially when Baron Angeli is out on a mission.

He didn't want to deal with round after round of assassinations, after all, he couldn't be sure right now if he really couldn't be killed.

Although his current body does not seem to have any fatal points, if someone chops off his head, he doubts whether he can grow another head...

Moreover, even if he is really immortal, if this secret is leaked, then his situation will probably be very unpleasant.

So, looking at the row of flickering candles on the desk, Colin gradually made up his mind...

—————————

The two or three hours before sunrise is the time when people sleep the most peacefully.

Even the guards on duty could not help but doze off at this moment.

However, they were quickly awakened by a scream: "Fire! Fire!"

The graycastle in the dark became lively in an instant, and the busy servants and guards rushed to Colin's bedroom with buckets, trying to put out the raging fire.

At the same time, Colin himself quietly jumped down from the window on the other side of Graycastle, rolled on the spot, and then hurriedly ran into the distance under the cover of the night.

Suddenly, Colin stopped abruptly, holding the sword hilt around his waist with his right hand.

With a rustling sound, a kitten emerged from the bushes in front of Colin.

"Meow—" The kitten seemed to recognize the stupid human who had just been defeated by him during the day, and suddenly became arrogant.

Colin breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the kitten by the back of the neck and carried it to him, and said with a smile, "Oh, since you found out, then you can come with me."

"Meow--"

"Well, just right, you can be a mobile blood bag."

"Meow?"
