The Original Vampire

Silvermoon City once again returned to its former prosperity and noise, as if the previous coup and bloody battle did not exist.

But people with a heart can feel a completely different temperament from the faces of the half-elf people. Compared with before, it seems that they have completely changed their race.

Lawrence Uman felt this change.

As the eldest son of the Uman family and the first in line to the title of Earl, Viscount Lawrence has been to Silvermoon City several times. When the half-elves saw him at that time, their waists were still bent very low, unlike now , although the attitude is still respectful, but it has brought a taste of neither humble nor arrogant.

"Sorry, Lord Viscount, all the food for our chamber of commerce has been pre-ordered by the Angele family."

It's the Angele family again!

Viscount Lawrence was depressed for a while. He has almost visited the large and small chambers of commerce in Silvermoon City in the past few days, but found that all of them have been taken by the Angele family.

Thinking of the several half-elf nobles who visited before, the attitude of the other party and some vague hints, Viscount Lawrence rubbed his chin and sighed secretly:

"Colin Angele, is the real owner of Silvermoon City now?"

...

"Lord Viscount, a Viscount Lawrence, who claims to be the eldest son of Earl Uman, has asked to see you."

Ke Lin was stunned for a while, obviously not expecting to meet people from the Uman family in Yinyue City. After pondering for a moment, he made a random gesture to invite the other party in.

Viscount Lawrence is a handsome and elegant young man, in his twenties, with a pair of burgundy pupils like his father, Earl Uman, an impeccable smile on the corner of his mouth, and every move is polite. The style of the eldest son of an earl.

However, Ke Lin looked at the other side and looked unpleasant, but he never forgot that the Uman family had a great suspicion that they had conspired to assassinate him.

Of course, on the surface, Colin still pretended to be kind and friendly: "Your Excellency Viscount Lawrence, welcome to Silvermoon City!"

"His Excellency Viscount Angele, thank you for your hospitality!

My father always said that you are a military wizard, and I didn't expect to be proven so quickly. In the battle of Silvermoon City, your glorious deeds of defeating the Pegasus Legion in the East with the remnants of the Black Cavalry and the Silvermoon Guards of the Half-Elves have spread all over the North, and countless bards are singing your name! "

Words of praise came from the mouth of Viscount Lawrence,

With a sincere smile on his handsome face, even though he knew it was a polite remark, he still made the person being complimented feel his sincerity.

"You're too good. The battle in Silvermoon City was mainly due to the bravery and skill of the soldiers. I really didn't do much." Ke Lin invited the other party to sit at the round table with a smile, and asked the maid to bring coffee.

While sipping coffee, Viscount Lawrence looked at the furnishings in the hall, and seemed to be deeply attracted by the frescoes and sculptures. It took a while for him to smile with satisfaction, as if he had obtained great satisfaction from his appreciation.

Colin doesn't have such appreciation ability. In his opinion, these famous paintings and sculptures might as well be replaced by gold coins...

"I don't know what's wrong with Your Excellency Lawrence coming to Silvermoon City? If there is anything I can help you with, please say so."

"Actually, this is the case. You must have heard that the northern region is currently suffering from famine, and the territory of the Uman family is no exception. Therefore, my father sent me to Silvermoon City this time to buy a batch of food. Go back to relieve the urgent need.

However, in the past few days, I have visited the major chambers of commerce in Silvermoon City, but found that the food has been purchased by you in advance. So, I came here with a cheeky face, wanting to buy some food from you. "

Colin put down the coffee cup, deliberately showing an embarrassed expression:

"I see. In fact, I am very willing to help the Uman family. After all, our two families are also considered relatives by marriage. However, the food shortage in the Angele family's territory is indeed too large. Even with the current food reserves in Silvermoon City, It's just barely enough, so..."

Hearing Colin's prevarication, Viscount Lawrence kept a smile on the surface, but he had long since scolded—

The half-elf kingdom is well-known for its level of agriculture, and Silvermoon City has always been known as the granary of the empire. In the past, the half-elf kingdom produced more than half of the grain to supply half of the northern border, but now it is said that it is barely enough to supply a viscounty?

What a liar!

"Lord Viscount, I can understand your embarrassment. However, the Uman family does need help right now. Well, as long as you are willing to allocate a portion of the grain to sell to us, I can accept any price."

Colin was overjoyed, waiting is what you said!

This time, he monopolized the food of Silvermoon City. In addition to supplying the viscounts, the extra part was originally intended to be sold to make a fortune. Now that he has been taken advantage of, of course he will not be polite.

"Ahem, you're out. Since the Uman family is so short of food, of course I won't let it die, but I won't take advantage of the danger and sell it to you at the market price."

"Thank you, Lord Viscount!" Viscount Lawrence quickly thanked him.

However, he knew in his heart that this so-called "market price" was definitely not the market price of Silver Moon City, but the market price of the North.

But now the price of food in the north has risen to the sky...

This still has the face to say "will not take advantage of people's danger"?

Colin Shishiran picked up the coffee cup and said with a smile, "I will arrange for someone to contact you. You can discuss the details of the transaction with him."

"Okay." Viscount Lawrence had no choice but to nod his head.

Then, he asked again: "Lord Viscount, take the liberty to ask, when will you leave for the North?"

"Tomorrow is Queen Elsa's coronation, and I plan to return after the ceremony."

Viscount Lawrence didn't seem surprised by this, but just smiled and reminded: "Lord Viscount, there has been some unrest in the north recently. When you go back, you have to be more careful."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Colin's mouth: "With the black cavalry escort, I want to see who has the guts to attack me."

"Ah, that's right! I was overthinking it!" Viscount Lawrence patted his head and laughed.

After taking a sip of coffee, Viscount Lawrence said again: "Lord Viscount, have you heard of a rumor circulating in the north during this time?"

"What rumor?"

"Rumour has it that this famine in the North was actually a tactic by the Duke of St. Hilde."

Colin's heart moved, and he already understood, but on the surface he asked calmly, "What's the plan?"

"When the trolls broke through the northern defense line and invaded the hinterland of the north, it was actually a deliberate play by the duke. The purpose was to paralyze the trolls and lead snakes out of their holes, so as to create a chance for the black cavalry to win a battle."

Colin drank coffee silently, but cursed in his heart, isn't this the first plan proposed by your father, Earl Uman? Why do you want to dump the blame on the Duke of St. Hilde now?

"Didn't you say it was a rumor? It probably doesn't have much credibility."

"Yes. However, if this rumor is true, Lord Viscount, do you think Duke St. Hilde is responsible for this famine?"

Colin blinked, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said solemnly: "If it is true, then Duke St. Hilde should indeed be responsible for this."

Hearing Colin's answer, Viscount Lawrence finally showed a sincere smile.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Viscount Lawrence took the initiative to leave.

Looking at the back of the other party's gradually receding back, Colin can already confirm that——

A storm is about to sweep the north!
