The Original Vampire

"Dong dong dong."

"Come in."

Knight Raymond walked into the room, bowed and saluted: "Lord Viscount, Butler Aemon and Knight Rego have successfully arrived at Ice Rock City."

"Well, I see." Colin had just finished his first embrace of the Ciel Knight, and his face was pale at this time.

"Let them settle down first, then meet me in the study."

"Yes!"

After Raymond left, Colin looked at Ciel who was still awake, and tried to order again: "Get up, Ciel, get up!"

However, Ciel did not respond.

Colin frowned, not sure if the first embrace ceremony just now was a success.

Moreover, he was horrified to find that his rank was even lowered!

Ke Lin, who was originally a second-order knight, was actually lowered to the first-order after this first embrace ceremony.

I just don't know if this downgrade is temporary or permanent.

However, he was still mentally prepared for this.

Presumably the complete first embrace ceremony will not come without any cost.

Colin was very surprised to be able to create blood slaves at no cost before, if it wasn't for the discovery that blood slaves could not continue to create the next generation of blood slaves.

Colin estimates that he can even create a blood race version of Resident Evil in this different world.

Originally, I wanted to wait for Ciel Knight to wake up to do further experiments, but considering that Butler Aemon and Knight Rhaegal were still waiting for me, they stopped delaying and got up and walked out of Ciel's room.

"When Knight Ciel wakes up, let him come to the study to see me." Colin instructed the maid who was guarding the door.

"Yes."

All the way to the study, Colin just took a sip of water when he saw Raymond walk in, followed by the old housekeeper of the Angele family - Aemon, and the family knight - Rego Morben.

"master!"

"Lord Viscount!"

"Haha, I'm finally looking forward to you. Come, sit down, sit down! It's been hard work all the way, what would you like to drink?"

"Just coffee."

Knight Rego touched his big bald head, hesitated for a moment, then followed Aemon and said, "Me too."

Colin glanced at Rego with a smile, and the hesitation of the other party just now obviously fell into his eyes, so he instructed the attendant at the door:

"Go get two cups of coffee and one ale."

"Yes!"

Then, Colin looked back at Rego: "If you want to drink, just say it. I haven't seen you for a while, why are you being polite to me?"

"Hehe, thank you Lord Viscount!" Rego grinned, his ugly face turned into a chrysanthemum.

Rego is Raymond's older brother. The two brothers of the Moben family became wandering knights very early because of the family's decline. Later, they became loyal to Baron Angele, and their relationship with Colin has always been very good.

Especially Rego, this tall and strong man has extremely outstanding talent in martial arts. When Baron Angele was not at home, he was the guest of Ke Lin's martial arts teacher.

Therefore, when Colin saw this old acquaintance at this time, although he was no longer the young man he used to be, he still felt kind to him instinctively.

At this time, the three people in the study, Aemon, Rego, and Raymond, can be said to be the core team of the Angele family.

As for the members of the Angele family, they are not outstanding people, and Colin will only serve them with delicious food and drink, and give them some simple things to do, but he will not rely too much on them.

Perhaps when the Ciel Knight wakes up, he can join this inner circle.

The attendant soon brought coffee and ale, and Colin exchanged a few words with everyone before turning to the topic.

"Imon, I need you to take over the daily affairs of the territory immediately. In addition, I will find a few candidates for the clerk and tax officer, make a list and give it to me, and I will finalize and assign them to various towns."

"Yes!"

"Although the family territory has expanded a lot this time,

However, the family's financial situation is likely to go through a difficult time.

Moreover, Ice Rock City has just been sacked by trolls and needs to recuperate, and I don't want to increase taxes at this time.

Therefore, except for daily necessary expenses, there should be no extravagance, and everything should be kept simple. "

"Yes, sir. You are really a wise and kind lord!" Butler Aemon said with great relief.

But the old butler thought about it and asked, "However, sir, do you want to renovate the castle you live in now? After all, everything here is left by the Suduo family..."

"No, I don't care about that." Colin waved his hand.

Aemon also suggested: "Would you like to change the color of the outer wall of the castle, it will not cost much, but it can also show a new look."

Colin thought about it and thought that this idea was a good idea.

It doesn't cost much to change the skin of the castle, but it can let the people know that there is already a new owner here.

"Okay. Let's change it to red then. Is this dyeing material easy to get?"

Ke Lin felt that as a blood clan, red should be regarded as his lucky color.

"Red..." The old butler thought for a while and nodded, "Convenient. The coastal areas of the southern border of the empire produce a dye derived from coral, which can well dye the outer walls of the castle red. The price is not expensive."

"Very well, then do it!"

"Yes, sir." The old butler nodded in response, and then asked again, "Does the castle need to be renamed?"

"Name?" Colin rubbed his chin.

He suddenly realized that he had not paid attention to the name of the castle of the Suduo family.

However, this is no longer important.

"It's called the Red Fort." The ghost named Colin immediately made a decision.

The corners of Aemon's mouth twitched, and he was really speechless about the name.

The old gray castle of the Angele family was called the Graycastle, which made the old butler very resentful.

Unexpectedly, there is another red castle now...

Think of the names of other people's castles, Frostmoon Castle, Bailu Castle, Fontaine Castle... Only this can reflect the self-restraint that an elegant nobleman should have!

"You don't have to think about it anymore?" Aemon suggested cautiously.

"Well? Is the name Red Fort unpleasant?" Colin blinked and looked at Brother Moben again.

Knight Raymond nodded immediately, this knight always obeyed Colin.

And Knight Rego nodded frantically: "I think this name is very good!"

Aemon glanced at Rego, and found that the expression on this fool's face did not seem to be fake, and it seemed that he really liked the name.

For the sake of the family's style, the Viscount must be kept away from these two ignorant guys as much as possible...

The old butler thought to himself.

"Okay, then it's settled." Colin immediately set the name of the castle.

He really couldn't think of a better name.

Aemon secretly sighed, and suddenly realized that there is still a long way to go to improve the style of the Angele family.

"Oh, by the way, let's change the family crest as well." Colin suddenly suggested again.

Colin, the original roaring white bear badge of the Angele family, didn't like it very much, and he also had some ideas about the new badge in his heart.

Butler Aemon reminded: "Master, if you want to change the family crest, you need the approval of the Imperial Senate."

"Okay, let's walk through the process." Colin replied casually.

"However, to go through the process of the Senate, ahem, sir, you know..."

Colin was stunned for a while, then realized what Aemon meant.

Actually want to bribe!

Looking through the memory of his predecessor, Colin really found that the senate of this empire really looked like a bird.

Without money, basically nothing can be done!

Especially for a small family like the Angele family, they don't bleed once. It is estimated that the gentlemen in the senate won't even look at them.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later!"

Colin won't give money now, his current money can be of great use.

army!

The first priority is to raise money to build an army first!
