The Original Vampire

  The soft light of the crystal chandelier illuminated the main hall of the church.

  Count Falco stepped on the thick, light yellow wool carpet and slowly walked into the palace.

  It was already dark at this time, and there was only an old priest left in the church who was on duty.

  ”What can I help you with?”

  ”I’m looking for Archbishop Ajani.”

  The old priest suddenly frowned. “Sorry, it’s too late today. The Archbishop has taken a rest. You can come back tomorrow…”

  ”Farr Count Falco.” At this time, the emeritus bishop suddenly appeared in the hall and greeted Count Falco, “Please follow me.” Count Falco smiled apologetically at the old priest and then followed the emeritus bishop to walk to the back courtyard of the church.

  During this mission to Winter City, his father, Marquis Dawson, had asked him to find a way to meet Archbishop Adjani.

  Although the unreliable guy Wells often does stupid things, he has finally contacted the leader of the church in the north. Now that the peace talks with the St. Hilde family have reached an impasse, the Dawson family is ready to give the church a try. There may be some unexpected surprises on this road.

  ”Dong dong dong.”

  The emeritus bishop lightly knocked on the door, and a lazy voice came from inside: “Come in.”

  ”Count Falco, please.” The emeritus bishop smiled and stretched out his hand.

  ”Thank you, Your Excellency, Bishop!” Count Falco smiled at the emeritus bishop and then opened the door and entered.

  This room should be the archbishop’s special reception room. Although the decoration inside is not luxurious, it is quite exquisite.

  As soon as Falco entered the door, he saw the back of Archbishop Adjani. She was standing quietly in front of the window, looking at the dark night sky in the distance.

  Perhaps because she is not in public, the Archbishop tonight is not wearing a priest’s robe but a purple dress. The dark clothes form a strong contrast with her white skin, which further highlights her unearthly temperament, like a descendant of the world. Angel.

  On the windowsill next to Adjani, there was a crystal vase with half a bottle of water in it. There was a bouquet of purple irises in the water, which just matched the color of Adjani’s clothes.

  The evening breeze outside the window blew the iris petals, spreading an intoxicating fragrance into the room.

  ”Good evening, Count Falco.”

  Adjani did not turn around, just lowered her head and fiddled with the petals of the iris.

  But just such a back view made Count Falco’s heart beat faster and his mouth went dry.

  He finally understood why his brother was so obsessed with this woman.

  ”Good evening, Your Excellency the Archbishop! I am taking the liberty to visit you. I hope I will not disturb your rest.”

  Adjani pointed sideways at a small round table in the room and said softly: “Don’t be so nervous. Sit down and have something to drink.”

  Count Falco thanked him, sat down at the table, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

  The bitter taste cheered up Count Falco slightly. When he saw Adjani looking out the window in a daze, he spoke again:

  ”Your Excellency, the Archbishop, I came to you this time mainly because I wanted to thank you for my father’s delivery last time. The news. Although the Marquis of Menham has not been deceived by the St. Hilde family, the Dawson family still thanks you for your kind reminder.” “

  Really? The relationship between the Menham family and the Dawson family really makes me Surprised.”

  Because Adjani’s back was turned to Count Falco, he couldn’t see her expression, so he smiled and nodded:

  ”Don’t worry, our dwarf family has been fighting for this common goal for thousands of years, isn’t it Jane? A simple provocation can divide our alliance.”

  At this time, there was a faint noise outside the window, and the expression on Adjani’s face became very exciting.

  Although Count Falco was a little curious about what the noise was about, he couldn’t go to the window to take a look. It would be too rude, so he had to suppress his curiosity for the time being and continued:

  ”Your Excellency, Archbishop, now follow me. The negotiations between the St. Hilde family have reached an impasse. So I thought, could you put some pressure on the St. Hilde family to facilitate this peace negotiation?

  In return, our Dawson family is willing to support you in everything you do in the north. Actions, including, ahem, the issue of the succession of the Duke of the North.”

  After hearing this, Adjani finally turned around.

  There was a faint smile on her face that was as finely carved as jade, and her eyes like autumn water were fixedly staring at Count Falco, and her eyes were filled with charm.

  Count Falco felt that an unknown flame suddenly rose up in his lower abdomen, which made his whole body so hot that he could hardly control himself.

  ”Count Falco, what do you think is my position on the succession of the Duke of the North?”

  Adjani’s lazy and slightly hoarse tone was like a swan feather, constantly stirring up Count Falco’s restlessness. heart.

  ”I…” Count Falco was breathing heavily, his face was red, and his eyes were fixed on Adjani as if he wanted to completely melt her with his gaze.

  ”What are you doing?” Adjani turned her right wrist lightly, and a long purple whip flew out and struck Count Falco on the shoulder.

  ”Ah!”

  Count Falco screamed.

  He didn’t understand why Adjani suddenly turned against him, but what was even more shocking was that he was obviously a fourth-level warrior, and he didn’t dodge a priest’s attack just now!

  You must know that the priest is an auxiliary profession and is not known for his combat effectiveness at all.

  Moreover, the whip was not very fast. If it were normal, Falco felt that he could avoid it completely.

  But now, he found that his legs seemed to be filled with lead, his whole body was on fire, and his brain was filled with all kinds of messy thoughts, making him unable to stay calm.

  ”Count Falco, what do you want to say?”

  The smile on Adjani’s face became sweeter and sweeter, and her voice was as gentle as a wife greeting her husband who returned home, but at the same time, the long whip in her hand was once again merciless. He threw it out, knocking Count Falco to the ground with a loud bang.

  There’s something wrong with the tea!

  Count Falco finally reacted, but at this time his consciousness was on the verge of collapse.

  In his eyes, the Adjani in front of him had completely changed from an angel to a devil, although he had no idea why the other person did this.

  The noise outside the window became louder and louder, and at the same time, bursts of fire gradually lit up, dispelling the darkness that shrouded the earth.

  Adjani took one last look at the movement outside the city, put away the long whip, and then strolled towards the door.

  When she reached the door, she put one hand on the handle but looked back at Count Falco who was struggling on the ground, as if she was expecting something.

  After a while, Count Falco finally raised his head and let out an unusual roar.

  His eyes had turned red as if he had completely lost his mind. When he saw Adjani at the door of the room, he immediately jumped up from the ground and rushed towards her.

  A smug sneer appeared at the corner of Adjani’s mouth, and she immediately tore off the sleeves of her dress, revealing her smooth and white arms. At the same time, she opened the door and rushed out, crying miserably:

  ”Count Falco! You, you What are you doing!”

  …

  ”Count Falco, Count Falco!”

  Count Anka knocked on the door for a long time but found no response at all.

  An alerted patrol guard came over and said, “Count Falco is out.”

  ”Do you know where he went?”

  ”Sorry, I don’t know either.”

  Count Anka was anxious and didn’t know what to do for a moment.

  He was awakened by the noise outside the city. Winter City was built on a mountain, and Lion’s Roar Castle was on the top of the mountain. Looking down, he could see the firelight in the dwarf camp outside the city.

  Count Anka didn’t know what happened there, but he guessed that it was probably not a good thing.

  Seeing that Count Falco was not there, Count Anka walked towards the main castle alone.

  ”Have Miss Vera and Viscount Angelet rested?”

  The guard glanced at Count Anka and then motioned for him to go in.

  Earl Anka quickly pushed open the heavy door and then saw Colin and Vera in the hall at first sight.

  ”Count Anka, can’t you sleep either?”

  Colin didn’t seem to be surprised by the arrival of Count Anka and turned around to greet him with a smile.

  But Count Anka’s heart sank because he saw Colin wearing armor with the help of Vera!

  ”An… Viscount Angelet, what are you going to do?” Count Anka asked in a hesitant voice.

  Colin patted the Judgment Blade on his waist and said with a smile: “There are some people outside the city who are dishonest and making noise so late. I have to teach them a lesson.”

  Cold sweat broke out on Earl Anka’s forehead, and he struggled with difficulty He said, “Lord Viscount, what is going on outside?”

  ”You come with me to have a look, and you will know everything.”

  Colin had already put on his armor at this time and kissed Vera gently on the forehead. , and then sent an invitation to Count Anka.

  But the bad premonition in Count Anka’s heart became stronger and he said urgently: “Lord Viscount, are you preparing to provoke a war?”

  Colin’s face turned cold and he said forcefully: “The war has started from the moment you besieged the city. It’s started!”

  ”I…” Count Anka wanted to defend himself, but Colin was already striding out.

  ”Miss Vera! Do the Saint Hilde family really want to fight to the death with the dwarves?” Earl Anka still refused to give up and shouted to Vera.

  However, Vera simply ignored him, took Colin’s arm, and walked out together.

  Earl Anka stood there for a long time, his expression changed drastically, and finally, he gritted his teeth and followed.
