The Original Vampire

Winter City, the gates are closed.

Outside the city, the Golden Lions lined up and waited in an orderly manner.

In front of the array, Colin listened to the messenger's report with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Lord Viscount, Miss Vera, there are rumors in the city that due to the unstable situation and rebels everywhere, in order to ensure the safety of Winter City, the city gate cannot be opened to allow the Golden Lions to enter for the time being.

However, Master Joyce said that you and your wife can enter the city, and you must not bring more than 100 guards. "

"Hahaha, what a big joke! When did the Golden Lion Legion not be able to enter Winter City!"

Hearing Colin's sarcasm, the messenger bowed his head and said nothing.

Colin didn't embarrass him either, he was just a messenger, and now the situation in the city has obviously been controlled by Earl Uman.

Along the way, they also discovered the marching marks left by the army. At that time, Colin guessed that it was the army of the Uman family, but he did not expect them to control Winter City so easily.

There must be someone in the city to cooperate with him!

"Who is the commander of the city defense army of Winter City?" Colin asked, looking at the Master Dawn beside him.

"It's Knight Thomas Saint Hilde." Bachelor Dwayne seemed to see what Colin was thinking, and immediately shook his head after calling out a name, "Knight Thomas should have no bias, Earl Uman can control Winter so quickly City, it should have been helped by other people."

"Who else can help him?"

Bachelor Dawn thought for a while and said, "It should be the housekeeper of the Saint Hilde family - Delinden."

"Butler?" Colin frowned, remembering the old-fashioned, unsmiling old butler he had seen at Vera's bar mitzvah, "Why does he prefer Joyce? Did the Duke of St. Hilde leave? What order did you give him before?"

Bachelor Dawn shook his head: "I don't know if the Duke has explained anything to him. However, the reason why I guess that he helped Earl Uman is because I know that he is a fanatical believer."

"Cultists?" Colin responded instantly.

Even though Vera had accepted the coming-of-age ceremony in the church, she was not baptized after all, nor did she publicly admit her belief in the Lord of Radiance.

Therefore, in the eyes of the housekeeper Delinden, she is still a blasphemous mage and a heretic!

At this time,

Only then did Colin realize that he had never considered the attitude of the church.

However, this cannot be blamed for his lack of thoughtfulness, nor is it that Bachelor Dawn deliberately did not mention it, but that the Church has no say in the appointment of the Duke of the North.

The emperor needs the coronation of the pope, but the duke does not.

The royal family will never allow the church to influence the appointment and removal of vassals.

But obviously, the church will not really stand by and watch, especially when such an important title as Duke of the North is about to be inherited by a mage.

"Is there anything you can do now?" Colin asked Maester Dwayne.

The current situation makes Colin very difficult. A strong city like Winter City cannot be captured in a short time. At this time, the Maynum family is estimated to have joined forces with the Dawson family, and the dwarf alliance will soon follow. will follow.

If the Uman family in Winter City is not resolved quickly, the Golden Lions will face the danger of being attacked by the enemy.

Bachelor Dawn hesitated, but still looked into Colin's eyes seriously, and said solemnly, "Miss Vera cannot enter the city!"

Colin was stunned for a moment, feeling that Bachelor Dawn had said something nonsense.

At this time, Winter City was under the control of Earl Uman. If Vera entered the city, she would only seek her own death.

But he immediately reacted. The messenger opposite just now invited him and Vera, but the Master Dawn only said that Vera could not enter the city alone.

so……

"Are you suggesting that I enter the city?"

"Yes." Bachelor Dawn nodded and added, "If you allow me, I will accompany you into the city."

The latter sentence is a statement, and I want to tell Colin that his suggestion is not for ulterior motives.

In fact, Colin didn't worry that Bachelor Dawn would deliberately frame himself. It has come to this point. Even if Master Dawn sold Colin, it would be impossible to win Joyce's true trust. The division has been completed.

Moreover, with Vera and the Golden Lions outside the city, Joyce wouldn't do anything to Colin as long as he had some sense.

"What about after entering the city?" Colin asked.

Bachelor Dawn said immediately: "Alliance!"

"Alliance?"

"Yes. If Joyce wants to sit on the throne of the Duke of the North, the main enemy is actually the Saint Theon family. Under the current situation, we can use this to unite with each other, first to eliminate the coming dwarf army, and then make other plans."

Colin rubbed his chin and thought about it for a while before finally nodding: "Okay, I'll go into the city with you!"

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards a carriage behind him.

To enter the city, of course, you have to appease Vera first.

Entering the carriage, Colin told Vera about his plans with Master Dawn.

Originally, he thought that Vera would definitely object, and he had prepared some rhetoric in advance, but he did not expect that this time, although Vera was full of worry and reluctance, she did not reject Colin's proposal.

"Okay, then you go. If you have an accident in the city, even if you destroy this Winter City, even if the Saint Hilde family loses the North, I will avenge you!"

After so many things, the once innocent girl has gradually matured.

Colin smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, now that the great enemy of Saint Theon is outside, if the people in the city are not stupid, they will not completely anger us at this time."

Vera nodded lightly, helped Colin straighten the collar of his shirt, and said emotionally, "Kolin, you have paid so much for the North, how can I thank you?"

Your being the Duke of the North is the best thank you!

Of course, Colin wouldn't say it directly, it would be too unpleasant.

Looking at Vera's watery eyes, Colin chuckled lightly, took her into his arms, and said warmly, "You can marry me, which is the best thank you to me!"

correct answer!

Vera smiled sweetly, stood on tiptoe, and kissed the man she loved.

After some warmth, Colin left the carriage.

Afterwards, he found Knight Cambering again and ordered:

"Stay outside the city, pay attention to the movements of the dwarves army, if the enemy is approaching, just hold the position, don't take the fight lightly.

In addition, after I enter the city, I will send someone out to deliver the letter every day. If I don't receive the letter, it means that we have an accident inside. What to do at that time, you can listen to Vera's order. "

"Yes, Lord Viscount!"

After explaining the knights of Campbellin, Colin asked the dazed Mage Kusius:

"Mr. Kusius, have you been to Winter City before?"

"I've been here." Kusius nodded and shook his head again, "but I haven't been to Lion's Roar Castle."

Colin laughed and invited: "Now there is a good opportunity, would you like to accompany me?"

Master Kusius rolled his eyes and hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and said, "This is my honor!"

Ke Lin was reluctant to let this unrecognizable mage be out of the city. What if he did something wrong beside Vera, so it was better to bring him into the city with him.

In the end, Colin explained a few more words to Knight Logue, and then he led a hundred guards and walked towards Winter City.

In the dull roar, the huge steel city gate slowly opened a small gap for one person only.

Colin shook his head with a laugh, and the other party was really cautious.

Packing up his mood, he immediately strode forward and walked into the city first.

After entering the city, Colin saw Earl Uman standing in front of him at first sight.

I haven't seen him for a year. The Earl of Uman looks a lot older, but his waist is still straight and his eyes are still sharp, like a fighter who will never bow his head and admit defeat.

"Viscount Angele, welcome to Winter City!"

"Count Uman, long time no see!" Colin smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with each other, as if an old friend he hadn't seen for many years was reunited.

"By the way, why don't you see Miss Vera?" Uman looked behind Colin and asked pretendingly.

"She's ill and can't come, sorry." Colin made up a reason casually, and then changed the subject, "Lord Count, I have a gift for you."

"Oh?" Earl Uman's eyes flashed, "You are so polite."

Colin smiled and waved behind him, and an accompanying personal guard came up and took off the helmet he was wearing.

After Earl Uman saw the face of the other party, he was instantly shocked and his tone was trembling: "Wa... Valla?"

"Father." Valla raised her head and exposed half of her face, which was burned beyond recognition by the fire, to the sunlight.

Looking at this distorted face, Earl Uman couldn't help shaking his whole body, and the hateful gaze in his eyes seemed to make the surrounding temperature drop by more than ten degrees.

He stepped forward slowly, hugged his "illegitimate son" in his arms, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, your hatred, the hatred of the Uman family, the hatred of the 300,000 people of Fallen Eagle City, I will definitely Report!"

Colin looked at the warm scene of father and son reunion in front of him with a smile, and joked: "Count Uman, are you satisfied with this gift?"

Only then did Earl Uman let go of Valla, looked back at Colin, and said solemnly: "Viscount Angele, I will definitely repay your kindness in the future!"

Colin laughed and waved his hand: "Just kidding, the Valla Knight is my brother-in-law anyway, and it is my duty to save him.

However, I also deeply regret the tragedy that happened in Eagle Falls. This move by the Saint Theon family is really outrageous, and it will be destroyed!

For such a dehumanizing demon, we should unite and drive it out of the north together! "

Earl Uman nodded, and seemed to agree with Colin's opinion, but he did not express his position in words, but made a gesture of invitation:

"Viscount Angele, please, Master Joyce has been waiting for a long time."

"it is good."

Ke Lin strode forward, and the steel city gate behind him slowly closed, dividing the inside and outside of the city into two worlds.
