The Original Vampire

The night is dark.

The grand banquet in Ice Rock City finally came to an end.

However, the nobles who left the banquet one after another had different expressions.

Some people are excited, some people are afraid, some people are looking forward to it, some people are afraid...

Tonight is doomed to sleepless.

A carrier pigeon rose from the Ice Rock City and dispersed to all parts of the north.

They will deliver a shocking news - the eldest son of the Duke of St. Hilde, Marquis Charles, under the questioning of Marquis Garcia, announced to give up his title!

The title of Charles is a virtual title, and there is no corresponding territory.

What it really represents is actually the inheritance of the Duke of St. Hilde!

Abandoning this title also means that Charles gave up his right of inheritance.

Of course, strictly speaking, only when the Duke of St. Hilde approves Charles' request will he be officially deprived of the title of Marquis and completely lose the right to inherit the Duke.

However, what is really intriguing, or even more frightening, is that Charles voluntarily gave up his title under the pressure of his own uncle.

Since Charles will not inherit the dukeship of the St. Hilde family, who will inherit it?

The Duke's second son?

Or, the Duke's brother?

It stands to reason that as the Duke's younger brother, Marquis Garcia's succession is after the Duke's three sons, and even after the Duke's adopted daughter Vera.

But now, no one can be sure who the title of the Saint Hilde family will fall on.

And will that golden lion flag turn into a black lion?

A terrifying storm has quietly approached the northern border of the Empire.

Some people rejoiced and tried to take advantage of this opportunity.

Others are worried and scared by the hidden crisis.

Colin walked quietly on the streets of Ice Rock City, thinking about how the Angele family should behave in this coming storm.

To be honest, he didn't want the northern border to be chaotic at this time.

This is not because of how loyal he is to the Duke of St. Hilde, or how sympathetic he is to the Marquis Charles, nor because he is worried that Vera will be involved in this turmoil, but because he knows very well that if the North falls into civil strife at this time , then who will be the biggest beneficiary.

No doubt, it will be a troll!

You must know that the army of 300,000 trolls on the ice field in the sky has not yet withdrawn far. Maybe they are now staring at the northern border on the border!

Once Marquis Garcia and Duke St. Hilde were pinched, the trolls would definitely take the opportunity to head south again.

The Northern Territory will certainly be devastated!

Colin doesn't care about the power struggles of those in power, but as a human being, he certainly doesn't want to see the North become a place where trolls are rampant.

But unfortunately, other people's words can't change the current situation.

I can only hope that the Duke of the North, who is far away in Winter City, can retain a trace of reason and make appropriate concessions.

Colin returned to the hotel, took off his armor, and fell asleep.

When I woke up, the sun was shining.

Although the atmosphere in Bingyan City was a little tense, there was no chaos, as if everything last night was just an illusion.

After breakfast, Colin went out for a walk, taking the cat with him.

Of course, Xiaobai was reluctant to be walked around, but Ke Lin just dragged it out.

After the protest was invalid, the angry Xiaobai got into Ke Lin's clothes and continued to make up for sleep.

In fact, Colin is not really wandering the streets aimlessly, he is purposeful - the Church of Radiance.

The church of the Glorious Church in Ice Rock City is not far from the west of the Suduo family castle. It is a high tower made of pure white rock. long sky.

Colin is no longer as afraid of the Church of Radiance as he was when he first passed through.

After all, he has already drank holy water and even advanced because of it.

In fact, when he successfully advanced to become an official knight and was able to stimulate the energy of the Holy Light, Colin already had a guess—

The vampires in this world should not be restrained by the church.

So, he walked into the door of the church in a grand manner.

The guard at the door saw that Colin was dressed gorgeously, so he didn't stop him.

In the empty prayer hall, there was no one, only rows of tables and chairs, and the sculpture erected in the front row.

Sculpture is naturally the image of the Lord of Radiance.

This is a middle-aged man in a simple robe, with long hair and a shawl, holding a scepter in his right hand and pointing forward with his left hand. The only strange thing is his face——

There are no facial features on it!

According to the Church, the reason why the Lord of Radiance has no facial features is because he can be the image of anyone - an elegant nobleman, a poor commoner, or even a lowly slave.

Colin raised his head and looked up at the god who was said to protect mankind, but an inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly appeared in his heart.

He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out where the familiar feeling came from.

"Dear knight, is there anything I can help you with?"

Just as Colin was thinking about the sculpture of the Lord of Glory, an old voice suddenly woke him up.

"Hello, dear pastor, please call me Colin."

The cloudy eyes of the old priest flickered slightly, and he said with a smile, "It turned out to be Knight Colin, I have heard of your name."

Colin was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect that he was so famous now?

The old pastor seemed to see Colin's doubts and explained with a smile: "Archbishop Raven came here before and mentioned you to me."

It was only then that Colin suddenly realized that he had left a deep impression on Archbishop Raven.

It is estimated that he was thinking about drinking his entire bottle of pure holy water.

Humph, stingy bishop!

Colin murmured in his heart, but on the surface he looked deeply honored: "I didn't expect Archbishop Raven to remember me, it's an honor."

"I don't know what the knight Colin came here for?"

"That's right, I actually want to buy some holy water, so I can save myself if I get seriously injured next time."

Since the last time he advanced, Colin has come up with the idea of ​​the holy water of the church. It is rare to have free time now, so he naturally wants to get some holy water to drink.

"So that's the case. Then please come with me." The old pastor nodded and led Colin through the prayer hall to the back hall.

In fact, it has long been the norm for churches to sell holy water.

Also, the price is extremely expensive.

The church not only did not feel ashamed about this, but justified it righteously - "The gift of the gods requires a price."

The two soon came to a small room in the back hall.

The interior of the house is simple, with only a holy water pool the size of a bathtub arranged in the center.

The water in the pool was as smooth as a mirror, glowing with a milky white holy light.

This is of course holy water, but it is diluted.

Ke Lin resisted the urge to loot the church, and handed the water bladder to the old pastor: "Please help me fill it up."

"OK."

"Gu dong... gu dong..."

The old priest quickly filled the water bag, and then returned it to Colin: "Knight Colin, a total of thirty gold coins."

so dark!

You must know that these holy waters are diluted, not the pure holy water without water that Archbishop Raven gave Colin to drink.

As for how much to dilute.

According to Colin's understanding, the common practice of the church is a thousand times more.

Therefore, the real content of all the holy water in the holy water pool of the church in front of him is estimated to be inferior to the small bottle concentrated in the hands of Archbishop Raven.

And now Colin spent a huge sum of money to buy a whole water bag of holy water, it is estimated that it is almost one or two drops of pure holy water diluted.

Colin felt a pain in his flesh, but he had no choice but to hand over thirty gold coins to the old priest.

Try it first to see if it works.

Colin bid farewell to the old priest and left this "black shop".
