The Original Vampire

  Following Joyce’s angry shout, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

  Everyone’s gloating eyes instantly focused on Colin.

  Everyone seems to want to see how this young but rapidly rising Viscount will deal with the anger from the third son of the Duke.

  To be honest, Colin was not panicked at all.

  After all, he has been on the battlefield and is used to big scenes. Compared with Duke St. Hilde’s seemingly irresistible god-like pressure, this Joyce is completely like a bluff. little lion.

  Colin bowed slightly and put his left hand on his chest, with a trace of fear on his face: “Master Joyce, I don’t know where I went too far. Please tell me.”

  Joyce slowly approached Colin, his steps deliberately slow. It was very slow as if he wanted to create a sense of oppression, but his thin body really didn’t have much pressure. Moreover, Colin was much taller than him, condescending, and instead seemed to be the one who had the initiative.

  ”The most outrageous thing you did was…” Joyce said coldly, “Didn’t bring Sister Vera home!”

  Huh?

  Colin looked up in shock and saw that Joyce’s little face had been replaced with a smile that showed success in mischief.

  ”I haven’t seen Sister Vera for a long time, and I miss her so much! Why don’t you bring her with you when you come to Lion’s Roar Castle this time!”

  Looking at the seemingly innocent little face in front of him, Colin suddenly felt that this third son of the Duke was a bit interesting.

  Taking advantage of his natural advantage as a child, he asked an extremely pointed question and gave Colin a blow.

  Although everyone knows the answer to this question, they also tacitly avoid it.

  As long as the Golden Lion Army cannot enter the city, Vera will definitely not enter and throw herself into a trap.

  This is something everyone understands.

  But at this time, Joyce asked innocently, which made Colin a little embarrassed.

  Is this little guy really talented, or did someone teach him in advance?

  ”Master Joyce, the reason why Vera can’t enter the city is because she has a more important mission outside the city.”

  ”What mission?” Joyce pressed forward step by step as if waiting for Colin to say something wrong. Come up with a solid reason, and then fight back.

  Colin raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said righteously: “Guard the body of Duke St. Hilde!”

  ”Father…” A trace of panic flashed in Joyce’s eyes, and then he unconsciously turned back to look at Butler Derinden. .

  Haha, it seems that the housekeeper taught him in advance.

  Colin felt slightly relieved.

  That would be much easier to deal with.

  Joyce seemed to realize that his behavior was inappropriate, and immediately turned around and continued to ask: “Then why don’t you let your sister go to the city with her father’s body?”

  The smile on Colin’s face became brighter and brighter, and he said with He asked in a very innocent tone: “Master Joyce, do you know how I entered the city?”

  ”How did I enter?” The young Joyce didn’t know that he had gradually stepped into Colin’s trap. Still delivering the message to him with a confused look on his face.

  ”I was standing outside Winter City at that time, and the city gate was just opened like this a small gap!” Colin made a gesture with an annoyed look on his face, “It’s just a small gap that can barely allow one person to pass through! Master Joyce, are you sure you want to Let Duke St. Hilde’s coffin enter the city in this way?”

  ”I…” Joyce panicked.

  Butler Derinden behind him was about to interrupt when he saw this, but how could Colin give him a chance? He immediately continued:

  ”The body of the former Lord of the North is outside the city. Shouldn’t you open the city gate and lead it yourself? Will the members of the St. Hilde family go out of the city to greet him?”

  ”I…” Cold sweat broke out on Joyce’s forehead.

  He never expected that he was originally asking Vera why he didn’t dare to enter the city, but now it was Viscount Angelet asking him why he didn’t dare to leave the city.

  Butler Delinden sighed secretly, knowing that he had underestimated the young Viscount. How could Joyce be his opponent? So, he had no choice but to step forward personally to save the siege and said:

  ”Viscount Angelet, how did I hear that outside the city? Is there something wrong with the Duke’s body?”

  Colin chuckled and asked, “Mr. Butler, who did you hear this from?”

  ”Knight Louis.” Butler Derinden reported a name.

  Immediately, Knight Louis came out of the crowd, first saluted Joyce, then looked at Colin with provocative eyes, and said sharply: “

  Yes, I have personally seen the coffin brought by Viscount Angelet. , However, what is placed there is just an ordinary stone statue, not the Duke’s body at all!” As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of exclamation in the venue.

  Everyone began to turn around and whisper.

  Colin seemed to have expected this to happen and did not panic at all. He explained calmly: “That’s because the Duke was petrified by a forbidden curse, so he looks like a stone statue.” “

  Humph! This is nothing more than a stone statue. It’s your side of the story!” Knight Lewis was obviously determined to confront Colin to the end.

  ”What about this evidence?” Colin smiled and took out a scroll from his arms. “This is the scroll for the forbidden spell. Why don’t you let everyone see it?” “

  What?” Everyone was really surprised when they saw Colin. He took out a spell-casting scroll and suddenly had different expressions on his face.

  ”How come you have that forbidden spell casting scroll?” Knight Lewis screamed again.

  Colin shrugged and pointed to Master Kusius, who was still eating and drinking leisurely on the side: “Of course it was given to me by Master Kusius, the deputy speaker of the Yeville Master Council.”

  Kusius looked at Colin helplessly. , seeming to blame the other party for selling him.

  Colin looked at Kusius with a smile, as if to say – don’t you want to find more people to help you share the pain? Now, I’ll make it public!

  Colin actually made this move carefully considered.

  Although the “Eye of Judgment” is a forbidden spell for Paladins that is extremely terrifying, its release conditions are equally harsh.

  Not to mention the condition of a sixth-level mage, there are still 300,000 human lives to be sacrificed.

  Such a sacrifice is not easily implemented.

  If Earl Uman hadn’t led the troops to fight outside at that time, Falling Eagle City would have been completely under the control of Penny and Mr. Jiang. In addition, they took advantage of the opportunity of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce to repair the city and buried a large amount of coal in the city. Mr. Jiang would definitely It is impossible to create the terrible scene of a burning city.

  Just to burn down the city of Fallen Eagle, without the help of coal laid out in advance, would probably require a forbidden spell.

  Therefore, as long as the release conditions of the “Eye of Judgment” are made public, its deterrent effect will be greatly weakened.

  After all, the big cities of the Glorious Empire are controlled by nobles. Once they know this terrible forbidden curse, they will definitely take precautions to prevent their cities from being sacrificed by mages.

  At this time, facing the scorching gazes of all the nobles, Master Cusius could only nod his head and say:

  ”Yes, this casting scroll of the Eye of Judgment was indeed given to Viscount Angele by me. As for what happened in Falling Eagle City, I am also very sorry and apologize to you all here.

  But please believe that the Yeville Master Council also hates this kind of inhumane forbidden curse. I promise that such a thing will never happen again in the future!”

  Colin looked at this man Master Kusius, who had an upright face, and became more and more certain that this guy just wanted to use himself to clear his name.

  Once the forbidden spell “Eye of Judgment” is released, Mr. Jin will inevitably become a public enemy of the knights. Cusius probably does not have much confidence in Mr. Jin, so he wants to use this method to draw a clear line with the other party, so as not to become a public enemy himself. The target is pursued by the knight.

  Seeing Master Cusius proving the authenticity of the scroll, everyone present immediately started making noises, demanding to see the scroll in Colin’s hand.

  Of course, Colin would not refuse, and immediately handed the scroll to Steward Drinden and asked him to circulate it to everyone present.

  The nobles here basically understand some Elvish literature. Although they may not be able to understand the casting principle of this forbidden spell, let alone learn it, there is still no problem in understanding its casting conditions and results.

  After everyone had circulated it, Colin looked in the direction of Viscount Valla and blinked.

  Viscount Valla immediately understood what Colin meant, and immediately took the initiative to stand up, and as an eyewitness, told what happened on the night that Eaglefall City was burned down.

  With the testimony of this client, everyone became more convinced that Mr. Jiang indeed sacrificed the Eagle City and released the “Eye of Judgment” to petrify Duke St. Hilde.

  Moreover, because Viscount Varla is now the legitimate son recognized by Count Uman, the credibility of his words has been greatly improved. What’s more, in the eyes of everyone, the Uman family is on the opposite side of the Angele family, and it is impossible for Varla to help. Colin spoke.

  At this time, Knight Louis also knew that he could no longer dwell on this issue, and even began to doubt whether the stone statue really be the remains of the Duke.

  Seeing that the time was ripe, Colin was about to propose an alliance, but unexpectedly, Count Uman took the lead and stood up and shouted:

  ”Everyone, Mr. Jin sacrificed an entire city of innocent people and brazenly killed Duke St. Hilde. , It is an unforgivable crime! Facing such a public enemy in the north, we should unite and kill him together!”

  Colin was stunned, obviously not expecting Count Uman to steal his lines, but he immediately followed up The other party said:

  ”That’s right! Under the current situation, we should put aside the dispute and speak unanimously! Master Joyce, please open the city gate and let the soldiers of the Golden Lion Corps escort the Duke’s body into the city!”

  ”Enter the city !? Why enter the city?” Before Joyce could speak, Count Uman stood up and objected, “Facing the incoming enemy, we should take the initiative to attack instead of hiding in the city!

  Viscount Angelet, I heard that you have After defeating the Pegasus Army in Silver Moon City and annihilating a hundred thousand troll army in the Sky Ice Field, now you dare to fight side by side with me and go out of the city to defeat the invading dwarf army?” Only a devil is

  willing to fight side by side with you!

  Colin cursed secretly.

  He knew that Earl Uman was unwilling to let the Golden Lion Army enter the city, but he did not expect that the other party actually offer to go out of the city to fight.

  Colin didn’t know what the other party was up to, but he certainly didn’t want to fight alongside someone with ulterior motives.

  But before he could object, Archbishop Adjani spoke with justice and dignity:

  ”Okay! Don’t be afraid of danger and take the initiative! This is the responsibility of the northern lords!

  I will personally pray for you, and may the glorious Lord be watching you and give you courage, wisdom, and undefeated faith!”

  As soon as the beautiful archbishop spoke, Colin found that he could no longer make suggestions to defend the city and avoid its sharp edges.

  Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that he is not a qualified northern lord?

  He rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled: “Okay! Then let the Lord of Glory witness that we defeat the invading enemy together!”

  Bang!

  Colin and Count Uman raised their right hands at the same time and struck each other hard.

  A temporary alliance was established.
