The Original Vampire

  Along the mottled stone steps, Colin followed Count Schulz towards the basement of Swansea Castle.

  The two attendants led the way and lit the brazier embedded in the stone wall in advance. The firelight illuminated the dim and gloomy corridor.

  Due to the inconvenient ventilation, the air in the basement was turbid. The aroma of wine, grass and wood, and a faint smell of putrefaction were mixed together, which made people feel stuffy.

  Soon, several people walked down the corridor and came to a spacious underground space.

  Count Schulz pointed to the wooden doors in front of him and asked: “Viscount Angelet, there are seven rooms here. Which one do you want to see first?”

  Colin glanced around the wooden doors and pointed seemingly casually. Pointing to the door in the middle, he said: “Is this a wine cellar?”

  ”Yes.” Count Schulz smiled gently, “And it contains the most precious wines from Swansea Castle.” “

  Then I I want to see it more.”

  Count Schulz nodded to the attendant calmly and motioned for him to open the door.

  With a slightly harsh creaking sound, the wooden door slowly opened, and a tangy aroma of wine escaped.

  Colin’s eyes lit up, and he seemed to be attracted by the smell of wine, and he immediately strode in.

  Count Schulz also walked in, pointed to the rows of wine racks in the room, and introduced:

  ”Viscount Angelet, these are fine wines produced in the Winster Highlands. The higher it is, if you like it, you can choose one to drink at the dinner party.”

  ”I don’t know much about wine; why don’t you help me choose one?” Colin walked in and looked at it casually. as if really attracted by the wine in this room.

  But in fact, he had already smelled the familiar, faint smell of blood.

  The disappearance of Bishop John is indeed inseparable from the Schultz family!

  Moreover, the Schultz family may be related to the Morrison family.

  I just don’t know why they kidnapped Bishop John.

  ”Viscount Angelet, if I were you, I would choose the wine in that row.” Count Schulz pointed to a wine rack in the center of the room and said with a smile.

  Colin asked curiously, “Why?”

  ”First of all, wine is not suitable for drinking immediately when it is first produced. It is best to store it for four to five years to eliminate its sourness. The wines in this row are just right. It was created by Winster Manor four years ago, and that year the climate was hot and the rainfall was abundant, which made the quality of the grapes very good. I believe you will be able to taste the most wonderful flavor.” After hearing this,

  Count Schultz After explaining, Colin nodded as if he understood, and strode forward, ready to pick one and leave.

  Anyway, the purpose of his trip has been achieved, confirming that the Schultz family is indeed as evil as he suspected.

  But just as he picked up a bottle of wine and was about to leave, the corner of his eye glanced at the other side of the wine rack, and his whole person seemed to freeze for an instant.

  ”Viscount Angelet, have you made your choice?” Count Schulz looked at the motionless Colin and asked doubtfully.

  But Colin still stared blankly into the depths of the wine rack, as if he hadn’t heard Count Schulz’s question.

  Count Schulz looked at Lucien next to him, his eyes full of doubts, but he still strode forward.

  Then, the couple also froze.

  Because, a corpse was suddenly lying behind the row of wine racks.

  The blood seems to have been drained from the corpse, and it is pale and haggard, but it can still be vaguely identified that it is Bishop John who has been missing for many days!

  Count Schulz’s eyes widened, and he immediately looked at Lucien, as if asking him, How do you do things?

  Lucien frowned, his eyes full of doubts and grievances. He wanted to tell his wife that he had clearly warned the guy to move to a safe place first.

  But how did he know that that guy had left out the most important “thing”?

  No!

  Not an omission!

  He did it on purpose!

  Count Schulz felt a chill covering her whole body. She already understood the sinister intentions of “Duke St. Hilde.”

  The other party must have realized that his original plan might have been discovered when he saw that Vera had not entered the city, so he immediately changed his plan and sold Count Schulz to him without hesitation!

  Colin has discovered the body; what now?

  Count Schulz felt like his mind was in a state of confusion. Countless thoughts were springing up, but none of them were reliable.

  Colin was also stunned at this moment.

  He never expected that Bishop John’s body would be found in the basement of Swansea Castle.

  When he took the initiative to “visit” Swan Castle before, he had no intention of actually finding Bishop John. Instead, he wanted to confirm whether the Schulz family had anything to do with Bishop John’s disappearance.

  The way to confirm it is through the special smell of blood.

  But he never expected that this situation would occur.

  He had already given the Schultz family so much time to “clean up the scene.” Who knew that the other party would be so stupid as to throw Bishop John’s body into the basement…

  It stands to reason that the case of Bishop John’s disappearance has been solved, Colin should be happy.

  But at this moment, he couldn’t be happy at all.

  Substantial pressure surrounded Colin from behind, completely locking him in place.

  He knew that Lucien had murderous intentions!

  With his heart racing, Colin slowly turned around, showed a stiff smile, and said:

  ”Your Majesty, I didn’t expect the murderer of Bishop John to be so cunning and with sinister intentions!”

  Earl Schulz’s face was expressionless. He looked at Colin and asked, “Oh? Why do you say that?”

  ”Because he actually dumped the bishop’s body in the basement of Swansea Castle. This was clearly because he wanted to blame the Schulz family! You said, he Is there a sinister intention?”

  Count Schulz was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Colin meant.

  At this time, Count Schulz was also very confused and didn’t know how to deal with Colin.

  Bishop John’s body unexpectedly appeared in the basement of Neuschwanstein Castle, which made it difficult for the Schulz family to explain to the church.

  She did think about simply killing the witness Colin to suppress the matter.

  But he was worried that doing so would completely anger the St. Hilde family.

  Now the solution proposed by Colin seemed feasible, but she still couldn’t make up her mind.

  She didn’t know if such an excuse could be used to get past the church, and whether that damn “Duke St. Hilde” might have any tricks up his sleeve?

  Colin looked at Count Schulz, who was silent and his expression was constantly changing, and carefully reminded him: “Your Majesty, don’t make the wrong decision, let alone fall for the real murderer!”

  Count Schulz nibbled on his red face. Lips said in a deep voice: “Viscount Angelet, Bishop John’s death really has nothing to do with the Schulz family!”

  ”I believe you!” Colin immediately responded, “If you knew that Bishop John died here , how could he take the initiative to bring me down to choose wine?”

  Earl Schulz nodded and let out a long breath. Then, she turned to look at Lucien, as if asking for his opinion.

  Lucien did not relax, however. The terrifying power emanating from his body was like a big net, covering Colin, as if if anything went wrong, a thunderous blow would land on his head.

  When Colin saw this, his heart sank. He was about to explain again when he heard the voice of the attendant coming from outside the wine cellar:

  ”Sir, the city defense army sent a message saying that the Archbishop of the North, Ms. Adjani, has just arrived in Swan City!”

  ” Adjani?”

  The atmosphere in the wine cellar changed again.
