The Original Vampire

With the departure of Duke St. Hilde, the rest of the lords in the north also left.

Ice Rock City also became deserted.

Of course, such desolation is only relative.

Compared with Greycastle Town, the former fief of the Angele family, Ice Rock City is obviously much more lively.

The life of the residents in the city seems to have returned to the original trajectory. Although the owner of the city has changed, it does not seem to have much impact on them.

Compared with who is the lord of Ice Rock City, these commoners are more concerned about whether there is enough food at home and enough clothes to wear.

For some, though, it was a sea change.

These people, of course, were the former owners of the city, the Su Duo family.

Deprived of their titles and fiefs, the Suduo family could only choose to leave sadly.

For the people of the Su Duo family, Ke Lin did not intend to kill them all. After all, the unspoken rule of this world is to be tolerant of losers.

Of course, the loser had to be a noble.

No one cares about the lives of civilians.

These failed noble children will become wandering knights, with force and loyalty in exchange for the lord's acceptance.

I look forward to one day being able to regain the fief and title by virtue of military exploits, and restore the glory of the family.

This is the tolerance of this world for the lost nobles.

Because in the eyes of people in this world, failure is only temporary, but blood is passed down from generation to generation.

Noble blood can give birth to great heroes.

And these heroes who can turn the tide are the foundation of the human race in this world.

Today, a family has been exterminated, and the inheritance of a noble bloodline has been cut off. Perhaps, it has killed a hero who may save the human race in the future.

Of course this is never allowed.

Therefore, even the Duke of St. Hilde, after executing the rebellious lords, can only deprive his family of titles and fiefs, but will not kill all their family members.

Of course, Colin didn't dare to break this unspoken rule, unless he didn't want to hang out in the Radiance Empire.

However, although he would not kill the Su Duo family, there was one of them, and Ke Lin did not intend to let him go easily.

This person, of course, is the crazy woman who has repeatedly troubled him - Cynthia Sudo.

"Still haven't found it yet?"

"Yes, Lord Viscount."

Obviously, Cynthia also seemed to expect that Colin would not let her go, and as soon as the conferring ceremony was over, she ran away without a trace.

Colin frowned, feeling a little tricky too.

If a third-order knight wants to escape, it is really difficult for him to catch him.

"What about the servant of the Sudo family named Thrall?"

"Sorry, my lord, I couldn't find it either."

Colin snorted coldly, a little helpless.

However, he did not blame Knight Raymond too much.

After all, it wasn't long before the Angele family took over Ice Rock City. It was a standard foreign force, and Raymond had not brought many soldiers from Graycastle before. It was not realistic to want to block the entire city.

"Forget it, then don't look for it for the time being. You send someone to the Falling Eagle City to inquire, maybe Cynthia and Thrall will appear there. Don't mess around after finding them, just send someone to watch."

"Yes, my lord!"

Ke Lin felt that the most likely lord of the Suduo family was the Earl of Uman, after all, they were related by marriage.

As for how to get someone from Earl Uman, Colin had no idea for the time being.

Speaking of Earl Uman, Ke Lin has not forgotten that the suspect who wanted to murder him at the beginning has not yet figured out who it is.

However, the biggest suspect at present is Earl Uman.

As for sister Caitlin.

After getting along for so many days, Ke Lin felt more and more that she was less suspicious.

After all, no one can act so real.

Moreover, Catelyn's husband, Valla Knight, has yet to be heard from.

From Colin's point of view, this guy may have really died in some unknown corner of the battlefield.

But Caitlin was obviously unwilling to accept this fact, and she still inquired about Valla from every caravan that came back from the ice sheet, and even made several trips to the ice sheet herself to find out her husband's whereabouts.

This is simply looking for a needle in a haystack.

It was not easy for Colin to persuade him, so he had to let her go.

He himself is too busy now, and he has to deal with a lot of things in the new territory.

At this time, the person Colin looked forward to most was Aemon, the old butler of the Angele family.

If he was in Ice Rock City, he would definitely be able to help Colin handle these things in an orderly manner.

"Where are Aemon and the others now? When can they get to Ice Rock City?"

Colin asks this question almost every day.

"Come on, it is estimated that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest." Knight Raymond was also a little helpless.

With the means of communication in this world, he couldn't grasp the exact location of Butler Aemon in real time.

"Got it, go get busy." Colin sighed, not embarrassing Raymond.

"Yes."

After Raymond left, Colin once again immersed himself in dealing with the documents piled up on the desk.

I don't know how long it took, the candles on the table were about to burn out, and then Ke Lin rubbed his sore eyes and said in a loud voice, "Change a row of candles for me!"

However, the servant outside the door did not respond.

Colin waited for a while and called again, but still received no response.

He frowned, thinking that the guy guarding outside was dozing off again, so he got up and walked to the door.

"Click."

The moment he opened the door, Colin suddenly realized that something was wrong.

But just when he wanted to retreat quickly, a long sword slammed through the door and stabbed towards his heart!

"Bang!"

Between the lightning and flint, Colin immediately fell back and fell to the ground, dodging the sword.

The dazzling holy light poured in like a tide, the wooden door burst open, and the swirling sawdust fluttered around.

Colin hurriedly rolled, quickly got up from the ground, and rushed towards the [Blade of Judgment] hanging on the wall of the room without looking back.

However, assassins are faster.

Before Colin could touch his weapon, there was a sharp stabbing pain behind him.

"Pfft!"

The injured Colin fell to the ground.

However, there was not much panic on his face.

He struggled to turn around and leaned against the wall to look at the person who came--

Sure enough, it was the crazy woman Cynthia!

"Cough, did you come to kill me yourself? Or did someone instruct you to come?" Ke Lin asked in a condensed voice.

"Oh, if I kill you, do I still need someone's orders?" Cynthia slowly approached Colin, gritted her teeth.

Colin was a little disappointed, and seemed to hope that the other party was instructed.

But I didn't expect that this woman was really a reckless lunatic.

"Kill me and you won't survive."

Cynthia sneered, paying no attention to Colin's threat.

"Hey!"

The long sword pierced Colin's chest.

"Cough cough..." Colin's face was twisted in pain, but he still asked without giving up, "No one really ordered you to kill me? Neither did Earl Uman?"

Cynthia obviously didn't expect Colin to care about this before he died, she shook her head and sneered: "No!"

"Crazy woman." Colin also sneered and cursed.

Facing Colin's abuse, Cynthia actually laughed excitedly.

Cynthia, who was immersed in the thrill of revenge, didn't notice that Colin's eyes gradually became fierce and bloodthirsty at this time.

I saw that he completely ignored the long sword that pierced his chest, rushed forward, and grabbed Cynthia's neck.

Then, take a bite!
