The Original Vampire

"Hiccup~~"

Walking on the streets of Ice Rock City, Colin touched his stomach and hiccupped.

He just came out of the church and drank a lot of water.

It's just that the expected advancement has not come.

Not even the kind of situation where the body heats up.

Colin thought, it is estimated that the effect will not be so fast, there must be some reaction time, so he waited patiently.

This waits from early morning until sunset.

Still no response!

At noon, he could feel a slight fever in his body.

But extremely inconspicuous.

Could it be that the dose is too low?

Colin was a little puzzled.

But also a little helpless.

The last time Archbishop Raven was looking at Vera and Marquis Garcia's face, he used a whole bottle of pure holy water to save him in a very extravagant manner.

Now if he wants to get some holy water to drink himself, he can only buy it with money.

But when he thought of the expensive price, Colin felt a pain in his flesh.

I am afraid that the Angele family's bankruptcy is only enough to buy the holy water in the Church of Ice Rock City.

But just relying on the diluted holy water might not be enough for him to advance to the third rank.

Depressed, Colin went to the tavern next to the hotel and ordered a glass of deer blood wine to relieve his worries.

Night shrouded Ice Rock City again.

And Colin's hearing also became more sensitive at night.

So, after drinking a little drunk Colin, he began to sit idle in the tavern, while eavesdropping on all kinds of gossip.

After listening for a while, Colin found that the most talked about was the matter of Marquis Garcia forcing Marquis Charles to give up his title at the banquet last night.

Moreover, most people believe that Marquis Garcia's approach is very appropriate.

The Marquis of Charles must pay the price for the previous fiasco.

However, not many people realized what a huge impact this incident would have on the situation in the North.

This is not surprising.

After all, they are just a group of uninformed civilians. What kind of politics do they know?

Many people don't really support Marquis Garcia, they just want to see Marquis Charles unlucky.

Just as the arrest of corrupt officials can always lead to cheers from the masses, the tragic experiences of the upper-ranking people always give the lower-ranking people some psychological balance.

As for whether this superior person really deserved what he deserved, that's all secondary.

Besides the unfortunate Marquis Charles, the most discussed person in the tavern was the Duke's adopted daughter, Miss Vera, who made her public appearance in the North for the first time.

Especially when the night was darker and the wine was drunk more, Marquis Charles was gradually forgotten by everyone, and Miss Vera's name became a new focus of discussion.

Some people described Vera's face with swear words as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Some people mysteriously talked about Vera's true identity as a mage, which immediately attracted a burst of amazement.

Colin took a closer look at the guy who revealed Vera's identity as a mage, and found that the other party was indeed familiar.

It is estimated that they were people who had experienced the "Great Escape" together.

He didn't care either. Among those who fled together, Colin just wanted to find the dutiful son Thrall, and then teach him a profound lesson.

However, some remarks about Vera in the tavern later caught Colin's attention.

Because many people are speculating about Vera's biological parents.

It was only then that Colin suddenly discovered that Vera's biological parents seemed to be indeed a mystery.

But since she could be chosen by the Duke of St. Hilde to be the adopted daughter, Vera's biological parents must also be big nobles.

Who would that be?

Just when Colin was in deep thought, he suddenly heard some drunks,

Taking advantage of the wine, the words were very disrespectful to Miss Vera, and some of the remarks were really unbearable.

Colin was furious when he heard it, and was about to beat up this group of idiots even at the cost of his own worth, when he realized that someone had taken the lead.

As a result, the tavern became lively in an instant.

Fighting, watching, applauding...

Pretending to persuade the fight was actually deliberately instigating it, and the one who was watching was accidentally injured, and the one who saw the blood boiled and joined the battle group...

The whole scene is chaotic, full of hormones that have nowhere to vent.

Only the owner of the tavern was crying and trying to dissuade the siege from behind.

But these drunkards, who were aroused by Vera's name, can only vent their anxiety through this most primitive physical conflict, and they may be stopped by a few words of persuasion.

Colin ordered another glass of deer blood wine and sat in the corner with great interest.

Finally, the fierce fight attracted a team of city defense troops.

In front of the heavily armed soldiers, these drunks lost their tempers, were subdued one by one, and squatted on the ground for interrogation.

According to the punishment for private fights in the city, these people have to pay a fine of 30 copper coins, or they will go to prison for ten days.

Some honestly paid fines.

But there are also some poor people who can't even get 30 copper coins, and old fried dough sticks who would rather go to jail if they can.

The latter two were naturally taken away by the city defense army.

The pub instantly became much more spacious.

But also a lot less interesting.

Colin finished his glass of wine and was about to go back to sleep when he found an acquaintance walking in.

"Bliss Knight!"

That's right, the person who came was the knight of the Saint Hilde family who fled with Colin.

Bliss Knight followed the voice and found Colin as well.

A rare smile appeared on his indifferent face, and he walked over and sat down beside Colin.

"Your right hand..." Only then did Colin notice the empty right arm of the other party.

After the first battle of the running river, Colin fell into a coma, and the Knights of Bliss accepted the order of Marquis Garcia and left before Colin woke up.

Therefore, Colin did not know that Bliss had become a one-armed hero.

"It's nothing. It's just a little injury in the Battle of Running River." Knight Bliss said lightly.

Seeing that the other party didn't want to talk more, Colin didn't bother about this topic, and instead asked, "What would you like to drink? I invite you."

"What are you drinking?"

"Deer blood wine."

Knight Bliss glanced at Colin in surprise, as if he did not expect that the gentle-looking heir to the baron would have such a strong taste.

"Then give me a glass of the same."

Colin smiled slightly and ordered a glass of deer blood wine for Bliss.

"Where did you go after the Battle of Running River?"

"Winter City."

Colin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly asked, "What are you going to do?"

But he seemed to realize something again, and quickly added: "If it's inconvenient to say it, forget it."

"No inconvenience."

After the Battle of Running River, the Knights of Bliss seemed to have recognized Colin, with a somewhat omniscient posture:

"I am under the order of Marquis Garcia to go to Winter City to ask the Duke for military orders."

Colin secretly said yes.

Then he asked, "So, what military order did you bring back?"

This time, the Bliss Knight hesitated a little, but still said:

"The Duke ordered Marquis Garcia to command the Black Cavalry and pursue the army of trolls who are evacuating the north."
