The Original Vampire

  Colin suddenly thought, could Archbishop Adjani have any connection with the royal family?

  So, seemingly inadvertently, he raised his hands to his chest, palms facing inward, and his fingers intertwined to form a lotus-like mudra.

  Then, he carefully observed Adjani’s reaction.

  However, Colin was disappointed.

  After Adjani saw this handprint, she just looked confused and didn’t show any other expression.

  This handprint was shown to him by Queen Midela after she “formed an alliance” with Colin. She also said that seeing this handprint means she is someone she can trust.

  But obviously, Adjani is not an ally of the royal family.

  Colin immediately put away his fingerprints, clasped his hands on his chest, and said with a smile, “I think you should go to the royal family, they are more interested in the Pope’s dirty information.”

  Adjani shook her head and said: “Master Viscount, you are wrong. The royal family is fully aware of the corruption of the church and is equally willing to fight against it. However, they will never agree to make this truth public.

  If I come to you, I will only end up like the Black Emperor.”

  ”I’m sorry. , Your Excellency the Archbishop, I don’t want to end up like the Black Emperor.” Colin shrugged and refused directly. “Just the two of us, even if the truth is revealed, we will never escape the pursuit of the church and the Paladin family. And we will also be slandered as madmen and blasphemers, and no one will believe our words.”

  ”Your Excellency, Viscount, I am not a stupid person. Of course, I will not disclose this truth before I have enough strength.

  And I The reason why I chose you as a partner is because you are not from the Paladin family, but you have the potential to dominate an area or even a larger territory!””Your Excellency, Archbishop, you think too highly of me.” Colin’s expression remained the same: indifferent.

  ”No.” Adjani’s eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, and her tone also had a hint of bewitchment. “You are now the Guardian of the North, and I also know that the Half-Elf Kingdom is also under your control. Under control, even in the future, it is not impossible for you to march eastward, defeat the Pegasus Army again, and march into Bailu City.

  However, have you ever thought about a question?

  Even if one day you really conquer the Eastern Territory, Ange can the Lie family become a duke family?”

  Colin’s heart moved, and he seemed to understand what Adjani wanted to say.

  ”Your Excellency, the title of Duke of the Empire has never been granted to someone who is not from the Holy Knight family! no matter what dazzling achievements he has made!

  I know that your talent is amazing and that you are already a fifth-level knight at a young age, but do you think you can become a Paladin?”

  Colin did not answer.

  However, he felt that if he could drink the blood of the Holy Knight, he might not be able to set foot in the Holy Land.

  ”I’m not trying to hit you, but in the empire’s more than a thousand years of history, no one from the Holy Knight family has ever set foot in the Holy Land!

  I don’t know what secrets there are.

  However, I think even if you were talented, you may not be able to break these shackles.

  So, even if you become a sixth-level knight, how different are you from that sixth-level warrior, Lucien?

  He is attached to Count Schultz, and they are also inseparable from the Saint Hilde family!

  Even if one day you lead an army to conquer the Eastern Territory, the Angelet family will never become the Lord of the Eastern Territory!”

  Colin narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice: “What exactly do you want to say?”

  Adjani took a few steps closer, stared into Colin’s eyes, and said seriously, “Aren’t you always asking me why I chose you as a partner?

  This is the real reason.

  Because you are not people from the Paladin family!

  The current belief system is based on deception; the only people who don’t want to see it collapse are actually the church and the Paladin family. That’s

  why they will join forces to conceal the truth and prevent a crisis of faith from happening.

  However, as a descendant of a non-paladin family, Viscount Angelet, even if a crisis of faith occurs and the belief system of the Radiant Church collapses, is it really a bad thing for you?

  Without the power of faith, there will be no priests.

  No. Without priests, new knights cannot be born, and naturally, there will be no more paladins!

  Without paladins, why do the current royal family and the four major families stand at the top of the empire?

  Why can’t the Angelet family become dukes? Even…”

  Adjani suddenly stopped talking, but Colin had completely understood what she meant.

  At the same time, he also saw clearly the true face hidden under Adjani’s pious appearance—that face was filled with something called ambition!

  Moreover, he was also frightened by Adjani’s madness.

  This woman looks holy, peaceful, and compassionate, but in fact, she is a crazy careerist who wants the world to be in chaos!

  Seeing that Colin was silent, Adjani thought that he had already moved but could not make up his mind yet, so she once again said seductively:

  ”Your Excellency, the conflict between the royal family and the church is our best opportunity!

  This time the royal family is fighting.” During your trip to Dragon City, Emperor Reinhard must have encouraged you to march to the East, right?

  To be honest, His Majesty the Pope has told me many times to prevent the Northern Army from successfully capturing Bailu City.

  However, if you and I cooperate, I can help you block all pressure from the church and promise you a stable rear area, so that you can march into the East without any distractions.

  As long as we conquer the Eastern Territory and hold both territories, we will have the capital to not be afraid of the church and the royal family! Colin sneered and said, “Your Excellency, Archbishop, have you forgotten that there are still two paladins in the empire?” Are they going to sit back and watch as the two of us shake the foundation of the entire Cavaliers system? Adjani said confidently: “Your Excellency, Viscount, have you forgotten that there is also a force in the East that can fight against the Paladins?”

  ”Jevil? ” “Ke Lin’s expression changed, and he realized something in an instant, and immediately said, “So you and Mr. Jin are in the same group! “

  Adjani suddenly smiled, her beautiful face blooming like a peach blossom.

  ”Your Majesty the Viscount, are you confident in our plan now? “

  Obviously, Adjani acquiesced to Colin’s guess.

  Colin lowered his head, with various thoughts circulating in his mind.

  He did not expect that the lingering Mr. Jin had quietly reached into the church. He also bribed high-level figures like the Archbishop of the North.

  No wonder he dared to kidnap the bishop of Swan City and even kill him without fear of retaliation from the church.

  Adjani would definitely cover him and help him survive. They have been through the weakest period at present.

  And now, they have turned their attention to Colin again, trying to win over the actual controller of the northern border.

  I have to say that Colin is a little moved.

  He suddenly realized that this was indeed, a good opportunity.

  Originally, Colin was caught between the royal family and the church. Both parties in the fight were wooing him, but both wanted him to be a sharp sword in their hands. Now that a third party has been added, what choice will Colin make? The room will be greater, and the space for maneuvering will be wider.

  At least, if Adjani and Colin reach a secret agreement, then he will not have to worry about the church stirring up trouble in the north when he marches into the east. Making rain is holding him back.

  Of course, Colin is still very wary of Mr. Jin and Adjani. Neither of them are kind people. They like Colin and just want him to be his tool. That’s all.

  “I wonder if I can see Mr. Jin? “Kelin asked tentatively.

  Adjani hesitated, but still nodded and said, “I will convey your intention to Mr. Jiang, but you must also know that Prince Laich is also in the north and is in need of him. It is difficult for Mr. Jiang to show up, so we may not be able to arrange a meeting with you in the near future.

  ” I understand.” “Ke Lin smiled faintly and didn’t say much.

  He knew that he probably hadn’t really gained the other party’s trust yet.

  ”By the way, can you help remove the magical spell that Vera has possessed? Adjani

  shook her head and said, “I’m sorry, Your Majesty the Viscount, that was a magical spell performed by His Majesty the Pope himself, and only he can remove it.” However, you don’t have to worry. With me in the north, the church will never be a constraint for you! I will never use the Duke to cause you any trouble. “

  ”That’s good. “Kelin nodded. In fact, this is the biggest reason why he is willing to cooperate with Adjani.

  As for how the relationship between the two parties will develop in the future and whether they will fall out, let’s wait until the future.

  Colin is confident that by then, he should already have the confidence to compete head-on with the other party.

  ”Happy cooperation! “Adjani stretched out her white and tender little hand and said with a smile.

  Colin also held the other person’s hand and showed a bright smile.

  ”Happy cooperation! ”
