The Original Vampire

The sunset is in the sky, indicating another good weather.

blah blah blah...

Amidst the rapid sound of hoofs, a horse came galloping north.

The knight on the horse was quite embarrassed, his loose hair fluttering in the evening wind, his original luxurious clothes had been damaged in several places, and his body was covered in blood, obviously he had just experienced a big battle.

This person is Viscount Lawrence who escaped from the Uman family's military camp.

He was holding a blood-stained knight's sword in his hand, but at this time he had used it as a whip, slapping the horse's buttocks constantly, urging the horse to gallop.

In the distance behind him, there is a faint plume of smoke rising.

Dozens of figures galloping on their horses were closely behind him, waving swords and bows, chasing after him.

This chase and escape battle has lasted all day, and Viscount Lawrence feels that he is about to reach his limit.

But he didn't dare to stop.

Because from the previous brief encounters, he could clearly feel that those chasing soldiers really wanted to kill him!

I'm afraid my mother is already in a bad way.

Even, Earl Uman should have known that he is not his biological son!

Viscount Lawrence felt a deep regret in his heart.

Knowing this earlier, he would not have made up his own mind and tried to assassinate Earl Uman with his mother.

Should wait for father to arrange.

But then, he shook his head violently, throwing the thought out of his mind.

Can't wait for Dad to arrange everything!

Viscount Lawrence knew that his real father, Mr. Ho, was not just his son.

Although those are illegitimate children, he himself is not his father's direct son.

Even if his father becomes the new Duke of the North, he will never be able to marry his own sister Penny. Sex is also a taboo love in this world and is not recognized by the world.

so,

If those illegitimate children still have a slim hope that their status will be reinstated, then Lawrence is destined to be impossible to become the heir apparent.

Of course, Lawrence also knew the agreement between his father and his mother that he would become the adopted son of Mr. Ho, and change his surname to Saint Theon.

However, what if in the future, Mr. Go has a direct son of his own?

Mr. Ho is not married yet, but after becoming the Duke of the North?

Will he never marry?

This sense of crisis prompted Lawrence and Penny to decide to assassinate the Earl of Uman, and then take the opportunity to control the army of the Uman family.

In this way, with the army in hand, there is also a bargaining chip.

Their mother and son also have some confidence.

But didn't expect...

screwed up.

Various complex emotions were churning in Lawrence's heart, and he was absent-minded and did not notice that the warhorse under him was dying.

The horse's mouth was already foaming, and it was obvious that it could fall to the ground at any time.

Between chasing and fleeing, in the blink of an eye, they passed another six or seven miles.

The warhorse under Viscount Lawrence was sweating profusely, and there were traces of blood oozing from the foam around his mouth.

Sure enough, in the next second, the warhorse stumbled and rolled to the ground immediately, and the bones broke with a crisp sound, which was extremely harsh.

Viscount Lawrence was immediately thrown out, in shock.

But fortunately, as a third-order knight, his quality is far from that of ordinary people. In the air, he forcibly restrained his body, formed a ball, rolled a few times when he landed, and then jumped up vigorously. .

Viscount Lawrence took a few breaths, looking at the cavalry chasing behind him, a feeling of despair rose in his heart.

But soon, he shook his head and suppressed this emotion.

With a ferocious look in his eyes, Viscount Lawrence held his sword in both hands, bent his knees slightly, and made a move to prepare for battle.

If you fail, you can only bear the consequences.

Viscount Lawrence cast aside all useless emotions and focused on the approaching cavalry.

stomping on...

The sound of the hoofs became heavier and the earth trembled more and more violently.

"Come on! The Saint Theon family will never yield!"

Lawrence roared furiously, with a ferocious expression like a tiger in desperation.

The faces of the cavalry on the opposite side were clearly visible, and they raised their swords one after another, and the cold light that appeared was like a steel forest, rushing towards Lawrence.

closer, closer...

Lawrence took a deep breath, preparing for the impending collision.

Time seemed to slow down, and the air seemed to heat up.

No, not as if!

The air is really hot!

In just a split second, Lawrence felt the oncoming heat wave, as if facing a big stove.

boom!

Just when he was puzzled, a wall of fire suddenly stood in front of him, and the air seemed to be suffocating.

rhythm --

The chasing soldiers were terrified and frantically controlled the warhorse, trying to stop in front of the wall of fire. However, how could the warhorse that has entered the charging state stop in a short period of time?

Like moths fighting a fire, most of the chasing soldiers rushed into the wall of fire one after another under the influence of inertia.

The flaming flames seemed to have a strange magic, turning them into ashes in an instant.

The chasing soldiers who were behind didn't have time to figure out what happened, they tried their best to turn their horses and ran back immediately.

However, before they could escape far, another huge fireball fell from the sky, completely swallowing the remaining pursuers.

The flowing flames instantly covered the grass with a radius of several hundred meters. When the fire subsided, only a large area of ​​scorched earth and remains of suspected ashes could be seen.

When the soft evening wind blows, the ashes flying all over the sky are like a little starlight, which has a strange and cruel beauty.

Lawrence looked at everything in front of him stupidly, as if he had not recovered from the great changes.

After a long while, he finally withdrew the long sword, with a smile of the rest of his life on his face.

"Father, is that you?" Lawrence shouted, looking around.

Soon, he found the inconspicuous figure not far behind him.

"Father!" Lawrence hurried over.

"Why are they chasing you?" Mr. Ho's face was covered in the hood of the mage's robe, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"They..." Lawrenceton was at a loss for words.

After hesitating for a while, he still told Mr. Ho what he and his mother had done.

After Mr. Ho listened, there was no movement for a while.

The sun gradually went down, leaving only a little afterglow barely illuminating the world.

The footsteps of darkness have been unstoppable and are about to rule this land.

The night wind is slightly cool, and Lawrence's heart is even cooler.

Mr. Ho's silence is eroding his belief little by little, making him continue to slide into the abyss of despair.

But just as the darkness was about to completely engulf Lawrence, a ray of light suddenly illuminated his world.

Only to hear Mr. Ho say: "I see."

His tone was extremely flat, as if he didn't care what happened to Lawrence.

Lawrence was uneasy and asked tentatively, "Father, then... what should we do now?"

Mr. Go raised his head suddenly, the wide hood slipped back, revealing his face——

What kind of face is that!

The left half has completely turned into a weird bluish-gray, and the twisted blood vessels are like earthworms, constantly squirming under the skin, and what is even more terrifying is his left eye.

There are no more eyeballs, just a void, a bottomless hole that seems to be sucked into the soul at a glance.

Lawrence was scared to take three steps back, but he immediately realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and hurried forward three steps.

Resisting the fear in his heart and the trembling of his body, he greeted, "Father, are you alright?"

"Follow me." Mr. Ho's tone was cold.

After saying this, he didn't answer Lawrence's question, just stood up silently, and then walked forward.

Lawrence didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly followed.

The last ray of the sun's brilliance also disappeared in the horizon, and the endless darkness completely enveloped the earth.
