The Original Vampire

The warm morning light gently penetrated the treetops, leaving mottled light and shadow on the grass.

Amidst the crisp birdsong, Lawrence woke up.

After getting up from the ground, he immediately looked around, until he saw the thin figure shrouded in the mage's robe not far away, and he finally felt relieved.

Lawrence walked over and asked softly, "Good morning, father."

Mr. Ho didn't look back, just concentrated on recording something.

Lawrence was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to disturb too much, so he backed away lightly, preparing to find some prey for breakfast.

In the morning in the forest, the air is extraordinarily fresh, and a little dew remains on the leaves.

Lawrence found the traces left by several hares and immediately chased after them.

But before he went far, he saw a flock of frightened birds fluttering out of the woods.

someone is coming!

Lawrence immediately ran back.

When he saw Mr. Hoo's figure again, he immediately shouted: "Father! Someone is coming! I'm afraid it is the pursuit of the Uman family!"

As if he didn't hear the shouts behind him, Mr. Ho continued to write and draw on the parchment scroll.

Lawrence ran to Mr. Hoo and reminded him again, but Mr. Ho was still silent.

This time Lawrence was blinded. Just when he didn't know what to do, there was a rustling in the surrounding bushes, and soon, a group of heavily armed soldiers surrounded them.

Lawrence held his sword in both hands and looked around nervously, while Mr. Ho was still burying his head in writing, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

After the surrounding soldiers formed a formation, they did not step forward.

Lawrence was in doubt when he saw a knight coming out.

He rolled over and dismounted, took off his helmet, and showed an expressionless face—

It is the Earl of Uman!

Lawrence groaned inwardly, secretly screaming bad.

The appearance of Earl Uman,

It means that the army is nearby, which also means that they may not be able to escape.

Even if Mr. Ho is a powerful sixth-order mage, it is impossible to escape the containment of tens of thousands of troops.

In Lawrence's desperate eyes, Earl Uman walked towards them slowly.

Mr. Ho finally finished writing at this time, took care of the parchment and stood up.

As it happened, Earl Uman also walked over.

Lawrence's sword-wielding hands trembled involuntarily. He wanted to say hello, but he didn't know what to call Earl Uman.

Earl Uman did not look at his former "son" at all, but said to Mr. Ho, "Is this how the Saint Theon family treats allies?"

Mr. Ho pointed to his left eye and said with a blank face: "How can you not pay a price for killing a Paladin. Falling Eagle City is your price, and I also paid my price."

Earl Uman sneered and said disdainfully: "A left eye and a city, Mr. Ho, do you think such a sacrifice is fair?"

"It's really unfair." Mr. Ho said lightly, "What compensation do you want, you can say it directly."

"Compensation?" The sarcasm on Earl Uman's face became stronger and stronger, "The last stupid woman who wrote me a bad check has been killed by me, don't forget that you are not the Lord of the North, so don't You want to compensate me for what you don't have!"

When Mr. Ho heard the "stupid woman", his eyes flickered, and he seemed to understand the fate of his sister Penny, but he didn't say anything, but asked flatly: "Then, just say what I have now. ,what do you want?"

Earl Uman's eyes were full of tyranny, and he roared: "I want you to pay for the life of the 300,000 people in Fallen Eagle City, are you willing?"

Mr. Ho shook his head indifferently: "If you kill me now, it will not help the situation of the Uman family, but cut off his last hope."

Earl Uman did not refute this time, and he obviously agreed with Mr. Ho's point of view.

He needs Mr. Gou to live.

But the anger in Earl Uman's eyes grew uncontrollably, almost gushing out.

Lawrence huddled between the two big men like a quail, trying to reduce his sense of existence, but obviously, his efforts were somewhat futile, because he heard about his name——

"Alright then, let your son Lawrence pay for your life for Falling Eagle City!"

"it is good."

Hearing Earl Uman's request, Mr. Ho agreed without hesitation.

As if the other party wanted to kill, it was not his own son, but a pet dog that he had just adopted.

"What?" Lawrence stood on the spot, as if he couldn't believe his fate was so easily decided.

He trembled uncontrollably, and shouted hoarsely, "Father, father!"

Unfortunately, his biological father, Mr. Ho, ignored him at all.

And his nominal father, Earl Uman, had already stepped forward and grabbed his hair with one hand.

"Father!" Lawrence looked at Earl Uman with pleading eyes.

At this time, he no longer cares who the two people in front of him should call his father. Anyway, as long as anyone can save his life, he will call his father.

You can even call them both...

Swah——

A silver light flashed, and Lawrence's head was cut off.

The gushing blood instantly splashed all over Mr.

Earl Uman deliberately raised Lawrence's head in front of Mr. Ho, and said coldly, "This is just interest."

Mr. Ho stared straight at Lawrence's head without any movement.

Earl Uman seemed to finally be out of breath, carried his bleeding head, and walked away.

After all the surrounding soldiers dispersed, Mr. Ho took out the parchment scroll on his body again and continued to write and draw.

Lawrence's headless corpse fell at his feet like this, and the cross-flowing blood quickly stained a large area of ​​grass.

The surrounding air suddenly condensed a little bit of frost, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees without warning, as if the cold winter had enveloped the earth again.

"You don't even collect a corpse for your son?" The white-robed mage Kusius suddenly appeared beside Mr. Ho and joked.

Mr. Ho raised his head, did not answer the question just now, but frowned at his friend's white hair and the uncontrollable cold air around him: "Why are you so embarrassed?"

Kusius sighed, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "I met Ernest, ahem, why do you think this old guy wants to go against us? Can't he see what we have researched? Can the Mage Council really embark on the road to rise?"

Mr. Ho sneered: "He is just worried that his position will be challenged."

"Hehe, short-sighted old thing!" Kusius cursed, and then he wondered again, "But, how did this old thing know about our plan? It happened to appear in Eagle Falling City at this time?"

"It should be that Emperor Reinhardt informed Ernest."

"Emperor Reinhardt? Why did he..." Kusius stopped halfway through.

Because, he had already guessed the reason why Emperor Reinhardt did this.

Obviously, Emperor Reinhard was afraid of Mr. Ho, worried that he would use this forbidden spell to blackmail him. Since the feasibility of the forbidden spell has been verified, and the casting scroll of the forbidden spell has been obtained, then Mr. Ho will naturally die. Better to drop.

"In this case, the assassination against us is probably just beginning." Kusius' face was a little gloomy.

Mr. Ho shook his head: "No, Reinhardt will only imply that Ernest, or even Prince Leahy, will not send someone to kill us if he does something to us."

"Do you just trust him? Or did he promise you something?"

Mr. Hoo didn't answer Kusius' question, and still focused on the parchment in front of him.

Seeing this, Kusius understood that the other party didn't want to talk, so he scratched his head helplessly, and then changed the subject: "What about Earl Uman? You let him humiliate you like this?"

Mr. Ho paused for a moment and said softly, "The two heads of the descendants of the Saint Theon family are enough for him to win the trust of the Saint Hilde family."

Kusius thought about it for a while, and seemed to understand what Mr. Xiang meant, and said in a deep sigh: "You destroyed Eagle Falling City, he killed your sister and your son, um, this can indeed make the people of the Saint Hilde family think that You are broken.

But, under such circumstances, you can continue to trust this person?

Will Earl Uman continue to trust you? "

Mr. Ho shook his head: "Trust this word, it's too extravagant. I just think that Earl Uman will make the choice that is most beneficial to him. And this choice will also help me.

Therefore, I will allow him to take the heads of Penny and Lawrence. "

"What do you mean?" Kusius obviously couldn't keep up with Mr. Ho's train of thought.

"After the death of Duke St. Hilde, Vera and Joyce are the ones who are most likely to inherit the title of Duke. Earl Uman can't support Vera because he has a grudge with Viscount Angele. .

Therefore, he must be on Joyce's side.

And one of my next major targets is also the Angele family.

Therefore, no matter how much Count Uman hates me, he will be my natural ally. "

Speaking of which, there was a look of helplessness on Mr. Ho's face: "Originally, I had better arrangements for Earl Uman, but now, because of the reckless actions of two idiots... that's the only way."

Kusius laughed, suddenly playing with his taste: "Speaking of which, Vera was my student in Yeville back then. Would you like me to help you?"

Mr. Wang paused, looked at Kusius seriously for a long time, and finally nodded after seeing the other person feeling uncomfortable.

"Okay, you can try it. However, I want to remind you that Viscount Angele is not easy to deal with."

"Don't worry, I'm measured."
