The Original Vampire

Chapter 3: leave

Views:

[The lord has the right to receive support from the people, but at the same time, he must also undertake the obligation to protect the people from all evil.]

In this perilous world, although human beings occupy the most fertile land in the center of the continent, they are also under the eyes of various alien races around them.

Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the Glorious Empire, a [Law of the Lord] was established, which clarified the rights and obligations of the Lord.

According to this law, nobles who lost their territories will be deprived of their titles.

Carter Knight is a victim of this law.

Their family's title was taken away precisely because the territory was breached by trolls.

So Carter became a wandering knight.

Without the support of the territory, the knight lived in a very miserable life, and he almost couldn't even afford the money to maintain the armor and weapons.

Fortunately, Baron Angelet took him in.

Carter also offered his loyalty to the Angelet family.

But obviously, this loyalty has not stood the test.

Because just now, Cavalier Carter inserted the dagger into the chest of Baron Angelet's son.

Plugged it in twice.

Carter looked at Colin's body, guilt flashed in his eyes, but soon became firm again.

Thinking of that person's promise to him, Carter felt that his dream of reviving his family was just around the corner.

However, just as Carter stood up from the bed and was about to leave quietly, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Turning around suddenly, Carter only saw a cold light coming towards him!

"Hey!"

A sharp pain came from Carter's chest, which made him growl in a low voice.

But the physical pain can't cover up the fear in the heart at all—Colin, who should have died, is alive again!

Is he a devil

In anger and panic, Carter subconsciously picked up the dagger in his hand and stabbed it forward.

"ah!"

There was a muffled groan from the opposite side, followed by Colin's gritted laughter: "It hurts, right? You bastard, you stabbed me twice! Oh, no, it was three times!"

"You...you..." Carter felt all the strength in his body withdraw quickly, and his consciousness began to blur.

"Speak! Who sent you?"

But before Colin could ask anything, Carter's body had gradually weakened, and blood flowed out of his mouth unstoppably.

Colin moved closer, only to hear the other party's dying voice: "Weird... monster..."

This is dead

It's too careless!

Colin looked at Carter who had completely lost his voice, and suddenly felt a little regretful—should avoid the other party's vital points.

Well now, the only clue is broken again.

Looking at the bloody corpse in front of him, Colin took a few breaths, but he didn't panic.

First of all, he can be regarded as self-defense, and he has no psychological burden.

Secondly, this is actually not the first time he has killed someone.

Of course, the "he" here refers to the former owner of the body that Colin now occupies.

In his previous life, Ke Lin was a law-abiding citizen, not to mention killing people, he had never fought much, but the owner of this body had been on the battlefield. In his memory, there were many scenes that were a hundred times more bloody and terrifying than the one before him.

Therefore, after the memory fusion, what was in front of him could only be regarded as a small scene for Colin.

Pfft, the candle on the desk was lit.

Colin rolled out the roll of parchment again, and recorded:

[Attacks aimed at the heart and throat are no longer fatal.]

Thinking of the legend that vampires seem to be afraid of silver weapons, he added:

[Ordinary weapons only, silver weapons to be tested...]

After writing this, Ke Lin felt a little worried—how to test this

You can't stab yourself with a silver weapon, can you

What if he was really stabbed to death

However, Colin immediately came to his senses - which guy in his right mind would use a metal like silver to make weapons

Therefore, unless he deliberately exposed his weakness, no one would specifically make silver weapons to deal with him.

So, he didn't worry about it any more.

Putting down the quill, Colin picked up the wine glass on the table and came back to the corpse of Cavalier Carter.

"puff!"

The dagger on the chest of the corpse was pulled out, and blood gushed out.

Colin looked calm, and put the wine glass under the wound.

The flickering candlelight reflected Colin's pale face, coupled with the smell of blood permeating the air, it looked extraordinarily weird and frightening in this dark night.

"Gulu, Gulu..."

Take a light taste.

very sweet.

Colin smacked his lips, feeling a little unfinished.

Then he closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body—it seemed no different from the reaction after drinking deer blood.

In addition to some signs of slight fever in the body.

Ke Lin thought it was the sequelae of the violent fight just now, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Let's drink animal blood in the future.

Ke Lin still has some psychological barriers to drinking human blood. Since there are no additional benefits, there is no need for him to make himself uncomfortable.

Putting down the blood-stained wine glass, Colin looked at the corpse in front of him and began to worry.

Although he had already dealt with the murderer who tried to assassinate him, Colin also knew that Cavalier Carter was just a pawn, and there must be someone else who really wanted his life.

The reason is simple: if Carter kills him, he won't get any benefits except that he will be hunted down to the ends of the earth by the Angelet family.

Moreover, there is no personal enmity between him and Carter.

Therefore, someone must have paid a high price to bribe Carter to assassinate him.

Who would this person be

Colin searched his memory, but he didn't find any suspicious person.

No way, too few clues.

This feeling that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light makes Colin extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, since this person can buy Carter, he may be able to buy other people as well.

Was Aemon the Steward involved in this

Who else

Thinking of this, Colin suddenly felt that the current Graycastle is very dangerous.

Especially when Baron Angelet was away on an expedition.

He didn't want to deal with round after round of assassinations. After all, he couldn't be sure if he really couldn't be killed.

Although his current body does not seem to have any vital points, if someone cuts off his head, he doubts whether he can grow another head...

Moreover, even if he is really immortal, if this secret is leaked out, then his situation will probably be very bad.

So, looking at the row of flickering candles on the desk, Colin gradually made up his mind...

—————

Two or three hours before sunrise is the time when people sleep most peacefully.

Even the guards on duty couldn't help dozing off now.

But they were soon awakened by a scream: "Fire! Fire!"

Graycastle in the darkness instantly became lively, and the servants and guards rushed to Colin's bedroom with buckets in their hands, trying to put out the raging fire.

At the same time, Colin himself quietly jumped out of the window on the other side of Graycastle, rolled on the spot, and then hurried to the distance under the cover of night.

Suddenly, Colin stopped abruptly, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand.

Amidst a rustling sound, a kitten emerged from the bushes in front of Colin.

"Meow—" The kitten seemed to recognize the stupid human being defeated by him during the day, and suddenly became arrogant.

Colin breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the kitten by the back of the neck and brought it to him, and said with a smile, "Heh, since you've discovered it, come with me."

"Meow-"

"Well, just right, you can be a mobile blood bag."

"Meow?"
