The Original Vampire

Boom!

Suddenly, the dull thunder echoed in the sky above Winter City, waking up countless people from their sleep.

Maester Dawn, who was dozing off on the church seat, also woke up suddenly. He only felt a violent shaking under his feet, as if something fell from a height and hit the ground.

"what--"

A sharp exclamation sounded in the church, interrupting the melodious hymn, and causing a sudden shock in the heart of the Master Dawn who had not fully recovered.

what happened?

Bachelor Dawn hurriedly followed the direction of the voice, and saw that the side hall on the left wing of the church was actually shrouded in a puff of smoke.

"It collapsed! It collapsed!"

Another scream.

Only then did the Master Dawn discover that the ceiling of the side hall had completely collapsed.

The church suddenly became a mess, all kinds of exclamations, screams, and crying continued to sound, making people upset.

"Quiet! Don't panic! Save people first!" The voice of the emeritus bishop came, which made everyone calm down a little.

Bachelor Dawn was hesitating whether to help, and then he saw the city defense soldiers guarding the door of the church rushing over like crazy.

"Lord Thomas! Lord Thomas!"

Looking at the soldiers digging frantically in the ruins, Bachelor Dawn suddenly woke up - isn't the confession room over there!

Is it...

Thinking of this, Maester Dawn could no longer remain calm, and rushed over in a hurry.

Boom!

In the roar of thunder, the torrential rain that had just stopped for a while poured down again, as if to completely drown Winter Winter City before giving up.

In the church, the people who were rescued were already soaking wet. They struggled to remove the rubble and found the first body.

Not Thomas Knight.

Bachelor Dawn breathed a sigh of relief, the light of hope in his heart had not been completely extinguished, and he hurriedly threw himself into the tense rescue again.

Soon, they dug up three more bodies, and the first survivor.

Unfortunately, there is still no Thomas Knight in it.

Thomas's personal guards were also going crazy, their hands had been scratched with blood by the gravel, but they still didn't stop digging.

Finally, they dug out their superior—

corpse.

Pfft!

Maester Dawn sat on the wet ground with his buttocks full of fear.

"What the hell is going on! Why did the ceiling collapse?"

Thomas' personal guards obviously couldn't accept this fact, and they were pestering the emeritus bishop with questions.

"I'm afraid it was caused by a lightning strike..."

Lightning strike?

Bachelor Dawn sneered, how could it be so coincidental?

It just hit the ceiling of the side hall of the church and killed the Thomas Knight who was confessing?

Moreover, Thomas is a fourth-order knight!

Even if you are hit by a boulder, you may not die.

Bachelor Dawn didn't go to the autopsy. First of all, he didn't understand this line of work, and secondly, it was pointless to worry about these things at this time.

He was still a step too late.

Thomas is dead.

Then, his plan was aborted.

Thinking of this, Master Dawn hurriedly got up from the ground, and hurried towards the Lion's Roar Fort regardless of the howling wind and rain outside.

...

Lion's Roar Fort.

Colin stood on the promenade, staring blankly at the heavy rain outside.

The fragrance left by Adjani still seemed to linger on his nose, but he was not thinking about the other party's charming face, but thinking about the last sentence she left.

When she said that, Adjani's demeanor seemed very confident, as if Colin couldn't escape from her palm.

This made Colin feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Time passed little by little, and Colin's unease became stronger and stronger.

Moreover, Master Dawn has been gone for so long, and no news has come back yet.

This also made Colin more and more ominous.

no!

Can't wait any longer!

Although Colin still trusts Maester Dawn, he doesn't want to pin all his hopes on the other side.

What's more, when entering the city this time, Colin also has his own plan. He still has a hole card beside Earl Uman.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning tore apart the dark night, and the roar of thunder shook people's scalps.

Vaguely, Colin seemed to hear some noise from outside the castle.

At this time, he had no intention to pay attention to these anymore, and after making up his mind, he strode away.

boom!

A violent airflow scurried across the promenade, and it seemed that something suddenly rushed into the rain screen.

...

"Lord Count, just received the news that the side hall of the Glory Church collapsed, crushing more than a dozen people. Among them, Knight Thomas was also included."

"I see." Earl Uman nodded with a calm expression, as if he had expected Knight Thomas' death.

Put on a coat, the residence where Earl Uman left.

Just after a few steps, Viscount Valla came over.

"Father!"

"En." Earl Uman nodded with a smile, "Have you not slept so late?"

"The thunder was so loud tonight that I couldn't sleep. Father, are you going out?"

Earl Uman nodded, and then said: "Since you can't sleep, come with me to see Master Joyce."

Viscount Valla was stunned, and hesitantly said: "Father, it's so late to disturb Master Joyce... It's not good?"

Earl Uman sighed and said helplessly: "No way, there was a collapse on the church side just now, and Knight Thomas was unfortunately killed. We must let Master Joyce know about this, and the commander of the city defense army also needs to appoint a new one. ."

"Thomas Knight... Died?" Valla looked surprised, and it took a while for her to regain her senses. She carefully approached Earl Uman and whispered, "Father, this shouldn't be an accident, right?"

Earl Uman smiled mysteriously and patted his son on the shoulder, but did not give a clear answer.

At this moment, a huge figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the promenade. His whole body was shrouded in thick blue armor, which gave people a strong sense of oppression, but strangely, his footsteps However, it was extremely light, and appeared suddenly there like a ghost.

Earl Uman frowned, as if there was no such person among the strange Saint Hilde family guards.

Suddenly, Earl Uman felt a sharp pain in his waist.

Bang!

He kicked the attacker out with one kick, but Count Uman's face was full of puzzlement and astonishment.

"Valla... why?"

Earl Uman trembled uncontrollably, but not because of the physical injury, but because of the greater pain in his heart.

He couldn't understand why he was assassinated one after another, and the assassins were all people he trusted.

Lawrence, Penny, Cynthia, and now even his own son Valla will kill him!

For a time, Earl Uman felt a sense of betrayal and separation, as if the world was going to be his enemy.

But he quickly calmed down, and even guessed the mastermind behind the assassination.

Valla was a "meeting gift" given to him by Colin. Obviously, 80% of the assassination was ordered by Colin.

Earl Uman couldn't figure out how Colin drove Valla to kill his biological father, but he felt like he was in a cocoon.

Perhaps, this "meeting gift" is also a "returning gift".

A year ago, Earl Uman instructed Knight Carter to assassinate Colin in Greycastle. A year later, Colin instructed Valla to assassinate Earl Uman in Lion's Roar Castle.

This may be fate.

Valla slowly spit out a mouthful of blood. Count Uman's counterattack just now was quite sharp, denting a large piece of his chest, but the expression on his face was not the slightest panic, and there was no regret. Yes, just deep-rooted hatred.

"Because you are damned!" Valla roared with a grim face, "You are willing to lead wolves into the room for your own selfishness! The early death of my mother, the pain of the first half of my life, the chaos in the North, and the Thirty Falcon City. All innocent lives are thanks to you!"

Earl Uman was stunned. He wanted to argue, but found that in the face of his own son's betrayal, it seemed that any justification was ineffective.

The various conspiracies of the past flashed through his mind like a flash, and a trace of regret quietly emerged, but it was immediately suppressed by Earl Uman.

His face became firm again.

He has no regrets!

What about the betrayal of relatives, and the enemy of the whole world?

If you want to rise to the top of power, how can you not pay the price?

Chi!

Earl Uman pulled out the dagger from his waist and threw it forward suddenly.

Ahead, the huge blue armored man who suddenly appeared has already rushed over, the giant shield in his hand flashing with a faint blue luster, as if to crush everything in front of him.

At the same time, a man in red armor also appeared behind Earl Uman, but compared to the huge figure in front, this one was very small.

But the huge hammer in his hand shows that this is not an easy role to deal with.

Earl Uman quickly drew out his long sword and shouted loudly:

"Viscount Angele! How dare you show up to fight me!"
