The Original Vampire

At the darkest moment before dawn, the torrential rain that swept through Winter City finally gradually stopped.

In an abandoned warehouse where he could not see his fingers, Count Uman was breathing hard.

He was bleeding with every breath now, and the fractured spine made him completely unable to feel his lower body, but the severe pain in his upper body alone was enough to make him on the verge of fainting.

But Earl Uman still managed not to pass out, and he was still trying his best to seek the last ray of hope.

"Colin, I know it's you, right?"

Earl Uman's eyes stared straight at the figure in front of him. Even if he couldn't see the face hidden in the darkness, even if the person's body was completely different from Colin's, Earl Uman just decided—

This man is Colin Angele!

Colin half-squatted in front of Earl Uman, and said with a chuckle, "Why do you think it's me?"

Such a question basically confirms Earl Uman's guess!

A glint of light flashed in Earl Uman's eyes, trying to maintain his calm, and replied: "Now in this winter city, I hope that you are the only one who will die."

"I may also be Colin's subordinate?"

"If you were Colin's subordinate, you would simply kill me neatly, instead of watching me struggling on the brink of death, enjoying the thrill of revenge!"

Colin laughed, nodded and said, "Lord Count, it's hard for you to keep your head sober. It's really admirable!"

Earl Uman ignored Colin's ridicule and continued in a hoarse tone: "Colin, it was indeed my fault that I sent someone to go to Greycastle to assassinate you. However, you have also assassinated me twice, Cynthia once. , Valla once...

Although I don't know how you moved them to kill me, I think we've evened out, after all, you didn't die back then..."

"Even?" Colin laughed, his face full of mockery, "You don't really think I'll let you go, do you?"

"Why not?" Earl Uman said anxiously, "I can give allegiance to you and give you the command of the Uman family's army..."

"Ha ha.

" Colin sneered again, "Your allegiance? Didn't you also pledge your allegiance to Duke St. Hilde back then, but didn't you delay your secret collusion with St. Theon? "

"If you can't believe in the oath of allegiance, how about using benefits?" Earl Uman said again, "You also know that Valla is my biological son. I have made him the official heir, and your sister married him. Given him, we are in-laws!

Colin, trust me, I can help you! Fighting all over the world for you!

As long as you give me this chance!

The current situation in the Northern Territory has not yet stabilized, the Saint Theon family is still a huge threat, and I have an inseparable blood feud with them!

As long as you let me go, we can work together to thwart the conspiracy of the Saint Theon family!

Also, the position of Duke of the North is definitely the most suitable for Miss Vera to inherit! As for that Joyce, I have a way to disqualify him from the Duke position! "

In order to survive, Earl Uman has no bottom line at this moment, no matter what conditions Colin proposes, he is willing to accept it.

Colin looked at Earl Uman who kept begging for mercy in front of him with a smile, and his heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge.

However, he ignored Earl Uman's plea for mercy and started the interrogation:

"When Vera and I arrived at the Golden Lion's camp at River Run, Captain Nelson Knight said that they had received a letter in advance saying that the remains of the coming Duke would be fake.

Did you write this letter? "

Earl Uman immediately distanced himself: "This matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

"Really?" Colin frowned.

He originally guessed that the Uman family had secretly colluded with the Morrison family, which led to the unpacking of the Duke's body in Flower Whisper City, and tried to prevent Vera from taking over the command of the Golden Lions.

"Is it a conspiracy of the Saint Theon family?" Colin originally thought that the Morrison family, as the diehard loyalists of the Saint Hilde family, would not be able to be attracted by the Saint Theon family, but now it seems that maybe not!

When Earl Uman heard this, he said helplessly: "At that time, I had already broken with the Saint Theon family, and I really don't know if this letter was their conspiracy. However, Mr. Ho takes you very seriously. Vera is trying to control the Golden Lions and will definitely try to stop it."

Perhaps because he was worried that such an answer would not satisfy Colin, Earl Uman said:

"Also, I can guess who Mr. Ho ordered to steal the Duke's body."

"Who?"

Earl Uman did not answer directly, but instead asked: "Did you stop at Huayu City on your way to Laundry River?"

"Have."

"That's right!" Earl Uman said flatly, "It must be the Morrison family who stole the Duke's body!"

Colin's eyes flickered slightly. He never mentioned the Morrison family from beginning to end, so if Earl Uman could guess this, he must know something.

"Why do you think the Morrison family did it?" Colin asked quickly.

"Do you think it is impossible for the Morrison family to betray the Saint Hilde family?" Earl Uman asked rhetorically.

"How can there be absolute loyalty in this world, I just think that the Morrison family and the Saint Hilde family have been married for so many years, and they have almost become a side branch of Saint Hilde, and their interests should be consistent with Saint Hilde's. That's right, it's hard for Saint Theon to turn them back."

Earl Uman sneered a few times and asked again, "Then do you know the history of the Morrison family?"

This question apparently stuck with Colin.

He looked through the memory of his predecessor, and sure enough, he didn't find any useful information.

The son of the former country baron really had no knowledge.

"Tell me about it." Colin ordered with a light expression.

Earl Uman certainly didn't dare to make fun of Colin's ignorance, and quickly explained: "Actually, the Morrison family was not originally the lord of the North, they moved here more than 500 years ago.

And before that, their territory was in the Eastern Territory! "

"East?" Colin suddenly understood something.

"That's right." Earl Uman nodded. "To be more precise, it is the Northeast Territory!"

The so-called Northeast Territory was actually called more than three hundred years ago.

At that time, the Eastern Territory was divided into two territories, the South and the North, namely the Northeast Territory and the Southeast Territory.

The lord of the Southeast Territory is the St. Pros family, which is the current owner of the Eastern Territory.

The lord of the Northeast Territory is the Saint Theon family.

"So, the Morrison family was a vassal of the Saint Theon family more than five hundred years ago?"

"Yes, and at that time they were madly chasing the daughter of the Saint Theon family, trying to purify the bloodline and let a paladin be born in the family.

Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful.

Perhaps they felt that the blood of the Saint Theon family and the blood of the Morrison family were not suitable, and wanted to try another Paladin family.

Therefore, the Morrison family made a move to relocate the family, came to the north, swore allegiance to the Duke of the north, and then began to frantically chase the daughter of the Saint Hilde family.

Oh, what a bunch of persistent lunatics! "

Colin was also a little speechless, this Morrison family is really... strange.

"However, this does not mean that the Morrison family is still colluding with the Saint Theon family? After all, more than 500 years have passed, and the current Morrison family has long been bound to the Saint Hilde family. Do you still care about the old love?"

Earl Uman shook his head and said, "No, I don't think the Morrison family colluded with the Saint Theon family because of their old relationship."

"What's the reason for that?"

Earl Uman's eyes were dark and he said slowly: "Viscount Angele, you may not know that this is not the first time the Morrison family has stolen the remains of the Paladin."

"Oh?" Colin's heart moved, and he asked quickly, "Did they steal it before?"

"Yes. When they were in the northeast, they tried to steal the remains of a Paladin of the Saint Theon family. However, they were discovered by the Saint Theon family.

After paying a terrible price, the Saint Theon family let them go, but expelled them from the country.

This is another reason why they migrated to the north with their clans.

Therefore, when you pass through the City of Whispering Flowers with the Duke's body, the Morrison family cannot bear the temptation of the Paladin's body! "

It was only then that Colin came to a realization. He also understood at this time that the Morrison family had no loyalty at all. Their family mission was to find out the secrets of the Paladin's bloodline, so that a Paladin would be born from the descendants of the family. !

But then, Colin had another doubt: "How do you know that the Morrison family tried to steal the remains of the Holy Knights of the Saint Theon family? Shouldn't this news be made public?"

Indeed, if this news is made public, the Morrison family will definitely become the rat that everyone shouts and beat, and it is impossible for the North to accept such a family that desecrated the remains of the Paladin.

"I saw this record in the books of the Saint Theon family." Earl Uman explained, "Mr. Ho put all the books of the Saint Theon family in the Falling Eagle City. At that time, I thought it was him against me trust, now think about it...

Hehe, it should be to educate his biological son Lawrence. "

Colin was stunned, obviously shocked by the news.

Lawrence turned out to be the son of Penny and Mr.

Well, Colin observed a moment of silence for the Earl of the Green Hat.

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Earl Uman asked carefully.

Colin shook his head, his eyes gradually turning cold.

Earl Uman seemed to realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait, Colin! Don't kill me! I have a will left by Duke Saint Hilde in my hand!"

"Will?" Colin was stunned.

"That's right! Moreover, it is clearly stated in this will that Miss Vera will inherit the throne of the Duke of the North!"

As a last resort, Earl Uman can only throw out a heavy news, hoping to survive.

Colin was really lost in thought.

After a long while, he said coldly:

"What about the will? Show me."
