The Original Vampire

  The soft afternoon sun shines warmly on people.

  The boat floating on the Nushui River rippled gently with the waves, like a cradle, making the people on board drowsy.

  Colin stood up and stretched as if trying to ward off the surge of sleep.

  There was still some distance from the center of the river for the prisoner exchange, so Colin simply struck up a conversation with Marquis Vincent next to him: “Marquis Vincent, are you still used to staying in Ice Rock City in the past six months?”

  Marquis Vincent snorted lightly and ignored Colin.

  Half a year of being a prisoner made the once high-spirited Marquis of the East Territory much more haggard.

  However, Colin did not abuse the other party; he was not that boring yet.

  In addition to having no personal freedom in Ice Rock City, Marquis Vincent was provided with good food and drink and even found some skilled women to help him solve his physical needs every week.

  At first, Marquis Vincent felt that Colin was insulting him. How could he, the majestic Marquis of the East, the legitimate son of the noble Paladin family, touch those lowly women?

  But it didn’t take long for the noble Marquis of the East to be controlled by his own raging desires and succumb to the pomegranate skirts of those skilled women.

  A profound interpretation of what it means to “say no with your mouth, but your body is very honest.”.

  However, although his physical needs were met, the mental humiliation made Marquis Vincent lose weight day by day, and he was looking forward to escaping from the hellish place of Ice Rock City all the time.

  Now, the light finally appears.

  Marquis Vincent never wanted to see Colin’s disgusting face again.

  Faced with the undisguised disgust of Marquis Vincent, Colin was not angry and continued to chat with a smile: “I heard that after you were captured, the Duke of Saint-President considered setting up your brother, Count Evan, as the first heir.”

  ”Impossible!” After hearing this, Marquis Vincent finally spoke.

  What Colin said was his biggest nightmare after being captured.

  Seeing that the other party finally responded, Colin continued with a smile: “I met Count Evan once. He is a smart man. If I were the Duke of Saint-President, I would also consider changing the heir.”

  Marquis Vincent was so angry that he gritted his teeth, stared at Colin with undisguised hatred, and cursed, “If I were your father, I would strangle you to death in your infancy!”

  Haha, his defense was broken.

  Colin shook his head and said, “Marquis Vincent, you have lost your composure.”

  Marquis Vincent snorted and turned away as if he did not intend to talk to Colin anymore.

  However, Colin spoke again: “To be honest, I don’t like your brother very much. When he was in Silver Moon City, he was making trouble, and now he has extended his hand into Alfalfa City. Haha, what an annoying guy.”

  Yes, after several days of investigation, Colin already knew that the supporter behind the Alfalfa Brotherhood was none other than Count Evan.

  After hearing this, Marquis Vincent’s expression finally softened, and he seemed to feel that Colin and he finally had something in common, so he said coldly, “What exactly do you want to say?”

  Colin returned to Marquis Vincent. Sitting down across from him, he said with a smile, “I don’t want to see your brother become the Marquis of the East either. At this point, our interests are the same, so why not cooperate?”

  Marquis Vincent sneered with disdain. He said, “Cooperation? Haha, have you forgotten the deep hatred between us and actually want to cooperate with me?”

  Colin shrugged and said innocently, “We made our grudges on the battlefield, but after all, it is when the two armies confront each other that there is an open and honest confrontation. There is no personal grudge between you and me.

  But your brother always uses some insidious tricks, which is really annoying and is simply an insult to the dignity of a nobleman!”

  Marquis Vincent’s face softened a little, and he stared at Colin for a long time and said, “My brother is indeed annoying, but if you want to stir up conflicts between us and plunge the Eastern Territory into civil strife, haha, I advise you not to waste your efforts. Now.”

  Colin still had the same smiling expression. He didn’t seem to be discouraged because the other party saw through the scheme. Instead, he patted Marquis Vincent’s shoulder gently and said in a friendly tone:

  ”Don’t refuse in such a hurry. I really don’t want to see a cunning and cunning guy who always causes trouble for me inherit the position of Duke of the East.

  So, think about it again. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me at any time.

You should also know my current identity. Vera is about to inherit the position of Duke of the North, and I am her husband. Don’t you want to have strong foreign aid?”Marquis Vincent lowered his head and remained silent. I don’t know if he was persuaded.

  Colin continued, “Whether you believe it or not, I am a peace-loving person, and Vera is not an ambitious person. Of course, we prefer a neighbor who is also peace-loving.” Marquis Vincent seems to have finally felt moved; he whispered, “I don’t want to be an enemy of the North either.”

  Colin smiled slightly, knowing that the other party had been persuaded by him.

  However, he did not continue to persuade.

  Too much is not enough.

  When Marquis Vincent’s position in the East was really seriously threatened by his younger brother, he would naturally think of someone who had offered him an olive branch on the Nushui River today.

  By then, hehe…

  Just as the two were thinking about their own thoughts, the boat slowly arrived in the middle of the Nushui River.

  There, a gorgeously decorated flower boat had parked.

  The familiar fragrance of blood roses filled the air, and it was obviously Queen Elsa’s ship.

  As the nominal ruler of Alfalfa City, Queen Elsa is the host of this prisoner exchange ceremony.

  At the same time as Colin arrived, another small boat from the other side of the river was slowly approaching the flower boat.

  Boom!

  The gangway was lowered, and Colin and Marquis Vincent boarded the flower boat one after another.

  As soon as he stood firm on the deck, Colin saw Count Evan and Marquis Garcia climbing up on the other side.

  After not seeing him for a long time, Marquis Garcia turned out to have a head full of white hair and was using a cane. Apparently, the tragic defeat left his body with injuries that were difficult to recover from.

  Although his eyes were still sharp, they no longer had the invincible aura that he had before.

  Colin sighed secretly in his heart and then stepped forward to say hello.

  Marquis Garcia looked calm as he greeted Colin and even nodded to his enemy, Marquis Vincent, as if he had forgotten everything in the past.

  Marquis Vincent was also stunned. Apparently, he did not expect Marquis Garcia to treat him so kindly. In comparison, the relationship between him and his brother, Earl Evan, was somewhat tense.

  Queen Elsa Shi Shiran walked up to the crowd and said with a smile, “The Lord once said that all hatred, resentment, and malice should be eliminated from your hearts. You can only treat each other with kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. Only then can we be saved.”

  As she said this, she asked the maid to bring five glasses of wine and handed them to everyone.

  When everyone picked up the wine glasses, Queen Elsa continued, “Let us drink this cup together in order to forgive each other and for the Lord’s salvation!”

  Colin and others also raised their glasses and drank it all.

  The atmosphere relaxed a little.

  Earl Evan looked at Colin and said with a smile, “Viscount Angelet, I’m so happy to hear that the chaos in the north has been resolved!”

  Colin also responded with a smile: “Thank you for your trouble. After all, evil can’t be defeated. Defeat justice.”

  Earl Evan nodded solemnly and said in an infinitely sincere tone:

  ”You are right! The St. Xion family has forgotten its mission and glory and even committed the evil act of sacrificing a city. It’s really an unforgivable crime!

  If Prince Leahy hadn’t already killed Mr. Jin, our St. Pros family would definitely have sent people to assist the St. Hilde family in getting rid of this extremely evil mage.”

  Colin smiled politely, not speaking; of course, he would not take the other party’s hindsight remarks seriously.

  Earl Evan’s eyes moved slightly and continued: “Although Mr. Jin has received the trial he deserves, as far as I know, there are still fish that have slipped through the net.”

  Hearing this, Colin became somewhat interested. , asked: “Oh, I wonder who are the remnants of the St. Xion family? Where are they hiding now?” “

  That Mr. Jin’s whereabouts are secretive. It is indeed very difficult to completely figure out who is left in the St. Xion family, but, I do know the whereabouts of one of his sons.”

  ”Where is it?”

  Earl Evan pointed to the shore and said, “It’s in Alfalfa City.”

  Colin narrowed his eyes and asked, “What’s his name?” Earl Evan spread his hands and said, “I didn’t find out about this either.”

  Colin sneered in his heart, obviously not believing this kind of nonsense. It seemed that Earl Evan didn’t want to talk anymore.

  However, Colin did not intend to ask further questions.

  Once Mr. Jin died, the St. Xion family no longer had anything to fear from Colin’s point of view.

  What threat could a family without its own territory or a direct army pose?

  Earl Evan turned to look at Queen Elsa again and said with a smile, “Your Majesty, I heard that you have recently found a lord of Alfalfa City?”

  ”Yes.” Queen Elsa nodded lightly.

  With a mysterious smile on his face, Earl Evan said to Colin, “Viscount Angelet, if you want to find this remnant of the Saint Xion family, shouldn’t you seek help from the Lord of Alfalfa City?”

  Colin nodded lightly. “I will.”

  But Earl Evan’s unintelligible smile made Colin unable to help but start thinking wildly—maybe the city lord Queen Elsa just found is a remnant of the Saint Theon family…

  ” Then I wish you good luck!”

  Earl Evan then left and left the flower boat with Marquis Vincent one after another.

  Colin glanced at Marquis Garcia and asked respectfully, “Mr. Marquis, shall we go back too?”

  ”Yes.” Marquis Garcia nodded and stared at the water, seemingly without any interest in talking.

  Colin winked at Queen Elsa, and then the flower boat began to slowly turn around and sail towards the shore.
