The Original Vampire

When Colin walked into the study, he noticed that the layout had completely changed.

The tables, chairs, cabinets, floors and windows are all rebuilt with brand-new mahogany, and the entire study is filled with a touch of wood.

The snow-white walls are inlaid with a row of white crystals. These crystals are a special arcane material that can amplify light. Without too many candles, the entire study can be as bright as day.

There was originally a huge and colorful tiger head specimen hanging above the fireplace. It was said that it was hunted by the previous generation of Duke St. Hilde himself, but it has now disappeared and been replaced by a gorgeous garland of blood roses.

The changes in the study also seemed to imply that the owner of the castle had changed.

“Count Schulz is not Vera’s biological mother. Fortunately, you were not fooled,” Marquis Garcia said.

Colin nodded, and then carefully tested: “Then, Vera’s biological mother is…”

Marquis Garcia looked at Colin with a warning look, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “You don’t need to know who it is. All you need to know is that she is no longer alive, so no matter who comes forward and claims to be Vera’s biological mother, it is all false!”

Colin sighed secretly, thinking that Queen Midela also lied.

Man, what a fucking bunch of actors!

Fortunately, I am too…

“Then… who are the people who know the true identity of Vera’s biological mother?” Colin asked again.

Because he realized that Mr. Jin dared to let Count Schultz pretend to be Vera’s biological mother, and was sure that Marquis Garcia did not dare to expose them publicly. He obviously knew the true identity of Vera’s biological mother, and knew that this identity should be kept secret.

The question is, how did Mr. Jin know?

Queen Midela knew about this, and Colin could understand it. After all, they were brothers and sisters, so it was not surprising to learn some of his brother’s secrets.

But Mr. Jin… Could it be that when he took over Duke Saint Hilde’s body, he also gained his memories?

“Why do you ask?” Marquis Garcia looked at Colin with vigilant eyes.

Colin had no choice but to tell the story of how Mr. Jin might have taken over the body of Duke St. Hilde and resurrected him, and tricked Count Schultz into pretending to be Vera’s biological mother.

Of course, he did not reveal the secret cooperation agreement that Adjani and he later reached in the church basement.

Marquis Garcia was silent for a long time after hearing this, his expression constantly changing.

In fact, Marquis Garcia knew that what was buried in the family tomb was not his brother’s real body, and he confessed to Colin when he exchanged him from the East.

He could also understand the necessity of using a fake corpse to fool him under the circumstances. He did not blame Colin too harshly. He just said that after Vera successfully inherited the position of Duke, he would then ask the Morrison family for the last Duke. ‘s remains.

But unexpectedly, the body was already occupied by Mr. Jin.

Moreover, this kind of resurrecting of a corpse was so unbelievable that Marquis Garcia found it difficult to accept it for a while.

After pondering for a while, Marquis Garcia suddenly said, “You don’t have to worry about this matter. I will personally negotiate with the Morrison family.”

Colin’s heart moved, and he immediately realized that the St. Hilde family and the Morrison family—I’m afraid there are some connections that I don’t know about.

Even the St. Hilde family knew about the pool of blood under the Morrison family clock tower.

If you think about it more carefully, does the St. Hilde family have ulterior motives for marrying so many of their noble daughters to the Morrison family?

Thinking that so many innocent girls were probably used as tools for some bloody research by the two families without knowing it, Colin couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

But he also knew that this should involve some shady secrets of the Saint Hilde family, and Marquis Garcia obviously did not want him to have too much contact with them.

In desperation, Colin had no choice but to nod in agreement, then changed the subject and told the story about Vera being cast by Pope Gregory when she was baptized.

After listening quietly, Marquis Garcia fell into silence again. After a while, he asked: “Do you know what the biggest difference between Siris and me was at the beginning?”

Colin was stunned for a moment, and then Marquis Garcia realized what he was talking about. The “Serys” in his mouth was the name of the previous generation of Duke St. Hilde.

“It should be the development direction of the Northern Territory, right?” Colin recalled the various conflicts between the two brothers. “The Duke wants to capture the rich but weak Eastern Territory, and you only want to destroy the Troll Empire.”

” That’s right.” Marquis Garcia nodded, with a look of emotion on his face, “At this time last year, after we annihilated an army of 300,000 trolls on the sky ice field, Siris couldn’t hold it in any longer. He is determined to go eastward.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to marry Vera to the half-elf kingdom, just to control the key to the east. At the same time, he also forced me to lead the black cavalry army eastward.

Unfortunately, Mr. Jin’s conspiracy completely disrupted Siris’s plan…”

Colin Moran, had personal experience with Vera’s marriage to the Half-Elf Kingdom. At that time, he was still complacent and thought he had taken advantage of it. In fact, looking back now, He himself is just an ignorant chess piece drifting on the chessboard.

“Serys wants to march into the Eastern Territory. In addition to coveting the riches of the Eastern Territory, it is also because the royal family is instigating it behind his back.” Marquis Garcia glanced at Colin and asked, “This time when we go to Yulong City, Reinhardt The Emperor and Queen Midela should have also tried to win over you, right?”

Colin nodded and said, “Yes, they really hope that I can march into the East and cut off the church’s biggest supporter in the secular world.”

Marquis Garcia stared into Colin’s eyes, and asked: “What do you think?”

“I…” Colin looked at Marquis Garcia’s serious expression and changed his words, “I think human beings should not kill each other. This will give alien races an opportunity to take advantage of it!”

Marquis Garcia’s as expected, a gratified smile appeared on his face, and he nodded: “As long as you understand. As a knight, the most important character is loyalty.

I remember asking you when I was in Ice Rock City, what is loyalty?”

Colin nodded and involuntarily touched the Blade of Judgment at his waist, and scenes from the past gradually came to mind.

Marquis Garcia continued: “Loyalty does not mean being loyal to a certain person, because people’s hearts are unpredictable and changeable. The only thing that is truly worthy of your infinite loyalty is a certain belief!”

“Faith?” Colin chewed and added Marquis Xia’s words seemed to make sense in his heart.

“The knight’s belief is to protect.” Marquis Garcia’s face became extremely pious, “My whole life is to protect the human race! This is my belief. No matter what happens, no matter where I am, I will always be loyal. It’s about it.”

At this point, Marquis Garcia patted Colin’s shoulder heavily and said seriously: “I hope you can also find a belief worthy of your infinite loyalty.

Only in this way will you not be trapped in nothingness. He lost himself in the endless struggle for power and profit.”

Colin looked at Marquis Garcia’s pure and fearless eyes and felt the weight on his shoulders. He suddenly understood why this Marquis spent the first half of his life They were all thrown on the most difficult front line in the north, and regarded the trolls as their lifelong enemies.

And the entanglement between him and his brother turned out to be because of this.

Perhaps, this is the real knight, this is the guardian of the human race!

For a moment, the rickety figure of Marquis Garcia grew taller in Colin’s eyes.

“I understand.” Colin said seriously.

Marquis Garcia smiled lightly and said: “I have always been optimistic about you, don’t let me down.”

After saying this, he turned and walked out the door.

Colin suddenly said: “Your Majesty, Marquis, I am planning to implement Bachelor Sonny’s agricultural reform plan in the north, and I am also preparing to borrow money…”

Marquis Garcia waved his hand without looking back, and interrupted: “These government affairs are not necessary. Tell me, you can just take care of it yourself. After all, you are now the guardian of the North and Vera’s husband. You have the qualifications and the obligation to help her manage the North.” ”

Okay.” Colin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He actually did not want to be restricted by Marquis Garcia, but fortunately, the other party did not have this intention either.

Immediately, Colin said again: “In addition, I will go to the Half-Elf Kingdom next month to purchase food. I hope you can help control the northern border.”

Marquis Garcia turned around, with a hint of sadness on his face. A narrow smile: “Is Queen Elsa going to give birth soon?”

Seeing through her true purpose, Colin smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Marquis Garcia didn’t say much. After all, he had an illegitimate daughter himself, and he didn’t blame Colin on this issue…

“Be careful on the road.” Marquis Garcia nodded casually and walked out of the study. .

“Yes!”
