The Original Vampire

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, for accidentally letting him slip into the palace and disturbing you."

The knight holding the sword bowed slightly towards Emperor Reinhardt and apologized.

Emperor Reinhardt looked at the intruder who was restrained by his guard knight, smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, you go down."

The guard knight was still a little hesitant, but the intruder in the mage robe spoke up: "Your Majesty is a sixth-order knight, at such a close distance, are you still afraid of me being a mage?"

This is a fact, the Mage is at an absolute disadvantage in the duel with the knight, especially when the distance between the two sides is close enough.

If the mage who broke into the Phoenix Palace wants to be detrimental to Emperor Reinhardt, at such a close distance, I am afraid that the first syllable of his spell will be unscrewed by the emperor, who is a sixth-order knight. .

"Humph!" The guard knight glared at the intruder viciously, then retracted his long sword, bowed to Emperor Reinhardt, and then quietly retreated.

"I heard that they all call you 'Mr. Ho'?" Emperor Reinhard poured himself another glass of red wine and smiled as he looked at the mage across from him.

"It's just a title, you can call it whatever you want, Your Majesty."

Mr. Ho lowered his hood, revealing a slightly pale and weathered face. He walked up to Emperor Reinhardt and gave a respectful salute.

Emperor Reinhardt looked at the impeccable court ceremony and said with a smile: "It's been more than three hundred years, and it's hard for you to remember how to salute."

"Of course I remember." Mr. Ho said sternly, "I dare not mention my surname. If I forget the etiquette, then what is the difference between our family and those ignorant commoners?"

"Oh, there is a lot of resentment." Emperor Reinhardt played with his taste.

"Don't dare. Your Majesty, we Saint Theon will always abide by the duty of our servants. Unlike some people, they get carried away when they are proud, and regard His Majesty's favor as an arrogant capital."

"Duty?" Emperor Reinhard seemed to have heard a big joke, "When the 'Judger' of your family stabbed the long sword into the back of the 'Dark Emperor', was he also abiding by his duty? "

"Your Majesty, no matter how pure the blood is, there will inevitably be a black alien. You can't ignore the loyalty of the Saint Theon family for thousands of years because of the judge's betrayal.

Just as the dominance of Prince Lehi alone cannot deny the status of the San Lorenzo family as a model of knights. "

Reinhardt saw that Mr. Ho was always bringing the topic to Prince Lehi, and he couldn't help laughing: "Prince Lehi is my uncle, and he is also a powerful paladin, you don't think he is qualified to be a role model for knights. ?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to be a role model for knights, you not only rely on strength, but also on virtues that are more important.

There is no doubt about the strength of Prince Lehi, but as a collateral member of the San Lorenzo family,

However, he was arrogant and arrogant, and repeatedly occupied the banquet hall of the Phoenix Palace to hold birthday celebrations. Such arrogance was a serious violation of the virtues of knights. "

"Mr. Ho, you came to the Phoenix Palace to see me at such a great risk just to sow discord between me and Prince Leahy? If that's the case, hehe, then your Saint Theon family should continue to be silent for another 300 years. Bar."

Facing the ridicule of Emperor Reinhardt, Mr. Ho was still in a calm attitude, as if nothing in the world could make him move, he just shook his head and said:

"No, Your Majesty, I'm here this time, in fact, for the North."

"Northern? Hmph! I heard that you made a big battle in the North! You even united with trolls. Why, do you really think I can't kill you, a traitor of the human race?"

"Your Majesty, please don't get angry. Think about it carefully, has the strength of the trolls increased or weakened after I have been in the troll empire for so many years?"

Emperor Reinhardt shook the red wine glass in his hand and sneered disdainfully: "What? You still want to take the credit of Marquis Garcia to yourself?"

"No, Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. As a barrier to the north of the empire, the Saint Hilde family is certainly well-deserved, and I dare not take credit.

I just want to tell you that trolls are just a knife in my hand, I have no affection for them, much less loyalty. "

"Then who are you planning to cut with the knife in your hand now?"

"The Saint Hilde family." Mr. Ho said without hesitation.

Emperor Reinhardt did not show an unexpected expression, obviously he knew it for a long time.

"Then why did you come to see me?"

"I would like to ask you not to interfere in the upcoming war in the north."

"Hahaha..." Emperor Reinhard suddenly laughed, "Have you forgotten that Duke St. Hilde is the queen's brother? Why do you think I will sit by and watch as a former betrayal like you? Descendants steal authority in the North?"

Facing the doubts of Emperor Reinhardt, Mr. Ho seemed to have a plan.

I saw that he slowly took out a scroll from the large mage robe and respectfully handed it to the emperor.

Emperor Reinhard showed a hint of doubt, but he took it personally.

When he opened it, he saw that the scroll was filled with dense elf texts.

Reinhard the Great, who had received a strict court education, could of course understand the Elvish script, but the more he read, the more his brows furrowed.

Mr. Ho stood with his hands tied and waited quietly.

Only the sound of steady breathing remained in the hall.

There is not much content in the scroll, but Emperor Reinhard looked at it for half an hour. When he raised his head again, the frivolity on his face disappeared again, and his tone became extremely solemn:

"How do you convince me that it will work?"

Mr. Ho bowed again and said indifferently, "I will show it to you in the north. I just ask you to give me this opportunity. Moreover, I always believe that Prince Lexi is not qualified to hold a birthday party in the Phoenix Palace."

This time, Emperor Reinhardt did not speak. After a long while, he finally nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll give you a chance."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A smile finally appeared on Mr. Ho's thin face.

"How many people have seen this scroll?"

"Including you, three people."

Emperor Reinhard narrowed his eyes, his sharp eyes full of undisguised fear: "Who else is there besides you and me?"

Mr. Ho kept his mouth shut.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more dignified, and the visible heat wave transpired in the air.

Emperor Reinhardt's eyes had turned golden yellow, and countless tiny golden lines covered his face, as if he had put on a golden mask.

Invisible coercion filled the hall, making people completely breathless.

Mr. Ho is like a small boat that is swaying in the stormy sea, and it seems that it may be torn to pieces by the violent storm at any time.

But his expression remained indifferent as usual, turning a blind eye to the threat of Emperor Reinhardt.

After a while, the storm suddenly calmed down.

The golden light faded quietly, and Emperor Reinhardt returned to his original lazy and frivolous posture, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

"Okay, Mr. Ho, I'll give you a chance. I hope you can prove to me with facts that you are qualified to be the new Lord of the North."

Only then did Mr. Ho let out a sigh of relief. Obviously, he was not as relaxed as he appeared just now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
