"Why did the Duke of Merdewing come in with a dagger?"
Ke Lin looked at the bloody assassination scene in front of him with a gloomy face, and asked.
All the guards looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, they all turned their gazes to a warrior covered in armor.
They knew that it was this member of Earl Angelet's personal guard who personally searched Duke Merdewing, but they didn't know if he was careless or...
Colin also noticed the gazes of the guards, and looked up at his personal guard.
The guard's face was hidden behind the thick armor, making it difficult to see his expression clearly. However, when he saw Colin's gaze, he immediately knelt down on one knee and raised his saber above his head.
Although he didn't speak, such an attitude is an admission of guilt.
Ke Lin looked at the personal guard coldly, hesitated for a moment, but perhaps thinking of the serious consequences of this matter, he finally made up his mind to take the other's saber and plunged it straight into his chest.
The personal guard let out a miserable howl, and finally tilted his head and fell silent.
Ke Lin waved his hands with some disinterest, and said, "You all go down, no one is allowed to tell the outside world about what happened here!"
"yes!"
When only Colin was left in the courtyard, the angry expression on his face disappeared instantly.
And the "killed" guard also stood up again, completely ignoring the long sword piercing through his chest, and took off his helmet, revealing a weather-beaten middle-aged face.
He still didn't speak, just stood aside quietly.
Colin leaned over to feel the pulse of Marquis Vincent, and found that this person still had a little life, but he was also disappearing rapidly.
So, without further hesitation, he immediately lowered his head and bit Marquis Vincent's neck.
"Gudu... Gudu..."
Wisps of blood-colored smoke rose up, condensing into mysterious and mysterious patterns between Colin and Marquis Vincent.
Amid the flashes of blood, an ancient and weird ritual was in progress.
…
After a long time, Colin raised his head again and heaved a sigh of relief.
Only after that did he have the time to check on Duke Merdevan, and found that he was completely cold.
This former half-elf prince was really an honest man, and he died so thoroughly.
Perhaps, William Murdev was indeed dead.
Colin lowered his head and mourned for this man for a while, and then he noticed that Marquis Vincent's fingers moved slightly.
Seeing this, he quickly turned his head and gave him a look. The guard who had been standing beside him with a sword in his chest immediately collapsed on the ground, pretending to be a corpse.
"I... what do I do?"
Marquis Vincent got up in a daze, as if he hadn't figured out the situation yet.
"You are dead." Colin said lightly.
Marquis Vincent was stunned for a moment, looked at Colin, then at the body of Duke Mordiven beside him, finally came to his senses, and said anxiously:
"Count Angelet! This William Murdwin is going to kill me!"
After a few quick breaths, Marquis Vincent discovered two horrific wounds on his chest and waist. He just wanted to ask Colin to call a doctor to treat him, but then he discovered that the two wounds seemed to be different. no problem.
There was no bleeding, no pain, as if those two wounds were just an illusion.
"I... what's wrong with me?"
Colin smiled and reminded again: "Didn't I tell you that you are dead."
Marquis Vincent's face froze, and he said embarrassingly, "Count Angelet, don't make such a joke..."
"I'm not joking." Colin said seriously, "You were indeed dead just now, and I gave you a second life."
Marquis Vincent opened his mouth, but did not speak again easily.
If in the past, someone dared to say such things to him, Marquis Vincent would slap him directly to wake him up.
But at this time, facing Colin's "crazy words", Marquis Vincent fell into deep thought.
Because he found that Ke Lin in front of him exuded an inexplicable aura, that kind of irresistible strength and holiness, which made him unable to bear the urge to worship him from the bottom of his heart.
Although the deep-rooted hatred for Colin was still there, it was firmly suppressed deep in his heart by a stronger sense of reverence.
Moreover, Marquis Vincent had an inexplicable premonition that his life was in Colin's hands. He could easily let himself live or die.
The former enemy of life has now become the master of his own destiny!
"You... What did you do to me?" Marquis Vincent suddenly fell into endless panic.
"I gave you a second life." Colin said in a grand and chant tone.
Marquis Vincent suddenly seemed to realize something, and then his expression changed completely, as if inspired by the Lord of Radiance, the fear and doubt on his face gradually faded away, replaced by infinite reverence and devotion.
"You are the apostle of our lord, the chosen one!"
"That's right." Colin turned on the deceptive mode with a pious face, "I was ordered by my lord to come to the world to investigate the severance of the faith transmission channel. At the same time, I was also ordered to clean up those high-level church members who have long been corrupted."
Now that Colin has learned many secrets of the Radiance Church, he naturally began to upgrade the brainwashing manifesto he designed.
Normally, Marquis Vincent would not believe this kind of nonsense, but after experiencing the miracle of life and death reversal and discovering that Count Angelet in front of him was exuding an irresistible divine radiance, Marquis Vincent had no choice but to believe it. This rhetoric.
So, the Marquis of the Eastern Region immediately prostrated himself on the ground, kissed Colin's toes, and said in an extremely pious tone:
"The supreme lord of brilliance! After all, you have not abandoned the most pious and humble believers! May your brilliance reappear, illuminate all things in the world, and sweep away all evil!"
Colin blinked his eyes, obviously a little surprised that the effect of this set of rhetoric was so good.
Just when he was in a daze, Marquis Vincent raised his head and said loudly: "Master Chosen One, what is my Lord's plan, please tell me, I will definitely do my best to help you complete it!"
Colin touched the tip of his nose, and said calmly: "I can't tell you the plan of my lord yet, if you are still loyal to your belief, follow my arrangement."
"Yes, Lord Chosen!" Marquis Vincent agreed without hesitation.
This made Colin even a little suspicious. Could this guy put on such a submissive appearance on purpose because he realized that his life was in his hands and was worried that Colin would settle those old accounts with him.
However, Colin did not continue to test. After all, he could easily kill Marquis Vincent through blood suppression, but he still couldn't test whether the other party's loyalty was reliable.
Unless he transformed Marquis Vincent into a blood slave without self-awareness.
But that would be such a waste.
For Marquis Vincent, Colin is of great use.
So, Ke Lin changed the subject and asked, "What happened to the previous assassination?"
Marquis Vincent pointed at the body of the Duke of Merdewing beside him, and replied, "It was William Merdevan, who suddenly took out a dagger and wanted to kill me like crazy! Oh yes, it wasn't just him, at that time I I also feel another breath, at least the fifth level... "
Speaking of this, Marquis Vincent suddenly noticed another "corpse" on the ground.
That is, the guard who was "killed" by Colin himself.
But when Marquis Vincent saw the face of the guard, he suddenly froze.
