The Original Vampire

The next morning, outside the north gate of Royal Dragon City.

The crowd who came to see off the new Duke of the North and the Guardian of the North was quite large, and the specifications were also quite high.

Even Reinhard the Great and Pope Gregory came.

Vera was wearing a light green long-distance travel suit today. The golden ducal armbands radiated dazzling brilliance in the sun. Her tall and straight posture showed a sassy temperament, and the sweet smile on her face was still as gentle and pleasant as before.

Colin was wearing a set of silver armor, the surface of the armor glowed with a cold cold light, mysterious and icy, like a knight from the underworld. The surface of the armor is covered with intricate arcane patterns, and at a glance, it is known that it is a valuable enchanted armor.

In fact, this set of armor was sent by the consul of Sebas last night, saying it was a farewell gift for Colin.

Colin guessed that this set of expensive armor was 80% sent by the gold businessmen behind Sebas. It is estimated that he realized the crisis and wanted to quickly repair the relationship with Colin.

Ke Lin did not refuse the kindness of the merchants, and even came out today wearing this armor to reassure the other party.

Of course, Ke Lin will definitely not be bought by a set of armor. He is also a guardian of the North now, and it is not so cheap.

This move is just to numb those businessmen. When he returns to the north, Ke Lin will definitely teach these mercenary bastards a good lesson.

Emperor Reinhardt stood at the forefront of the seeing off team, looked at the pair of bi people in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Vera, Colin, the northern border of the empire depends on you to protect it. I hope you will not betray my trust, let alone let the reputation of the Saint Hilde family get dusted."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Queen Midella took the hands of Prince Harrison and Princess Judy, stepped forward and said, "And these two little guys, I hope they won't cause you too much trouble."

"Of course not!" Vera quickly took Harrison and Judy from the queen, "We will definitely take good care of them."

Queen Midella's eyes were full of reluctance, but she said nothing.

Emperor Reinhardt explained with a blank face: "The young eagle always has to leave the nest to endure the baptism of wind and rain alone."

The two of them were like a loving mother and strict father, but Ke Lin suddenly felt that something was wrong.

At this time,

Pope Gregory stepped forward, first drew a holy cross in front of Vera, and then prayed warmly:

"Your Excellency, may the light of my lord shine on your path."

Vera hurriedly returned the salute.

Colin stared at the Pope's movements, for fear that the other party would come up with something else.

Now he is quite wary of this bald old man.

However, Colin felt that there were advantages and disadvantages to the magic that the Pope performed on Vera.

The disadvantage, of course, is that Vera will be affected by this, and she will gradually tend to the church.

However, this is not without its benefits.

At present, Colin can also see that the royal family canonized him as the guardian of the north just to make him a vanguard against the church.

But how could Colin be willing to become a pawn of the royal family and work hard for the interests of the royal family.

Therefore, Vera, who has been casted by magic, can be a wonderful excuse.

Colin can also use this to swing between the church and the royal family, waiting for a price, rather than stupidly becoming a pawn of the royal family.

The Pope also came to Colin at this time and said with a smile: "Viscount Angele, I can feel the Holy Light's preference for you. I believe that you will definitely achieve something in the way of knights!"

Colin raised his eyebrows, but he remembered that in Winter City, the Archbishop of the North, Adjani, had said similar things to him. At that time, he thought that the other party was just complimenting him, but now it seems that it is not.

Could it be that the blood race has any connection with the Lord of Glory?

Or did he drink too much holy water to have such a reaction?

"Your Majesty, this is all my Lord's grace to me!" Colin said with a hahaha.

Pope Gregory gave Colin a meaningful look, and then said no more.

Colin took Vera to say goodbye to the nobles who came to see them off one by one, and then turned back and walked towards the carriage.

Before getting into the carriage, Colin glanced around the accompanying bodyguards, and sure enough, he found the grandson of Consul Sebas—Knight Webber.

This guy seems to be trying to reduce his sense of existence for fear of being retaliated by Colin.

Colin smiled lightly, ignored the other party, helped Vera into the carriage, and hugged Prince Harrison and Princess Judy up, and finally got in by himself.

Under the gazes of the nobles of the imperial capital, the convoy of the Duke of the Northern Territory headed north.

It was late summer, and the fields were pleasant and sunny.

Inside the carriage, Vera had already dug out a copy of the Holy Codex to read.

Seeing this, Colin frowned secretly. He couldn't figure out for a while whether it was the Pope's magic that played a role, or whether Vera wanted to know the church better after she converted.

The two little guys in the royal family were sitting upright at first, but they soon became impatient.

Especially Princess Judy, with her big and smart eyes, she suddenly said to Colin, "Teacher, can you tell me a story?"

This royal princess is wearing a pink floral dress, her pink face is bright and moving, especially those sapphire-like eyes, there is a hint of stunning and enchanting temperament, perhaps inherited from the peerless queen. Mother.

Of course, in Colin's impression, this is a quirky little girl, but he clearly remembers the savageness shown when the other party kept trying to step on his feet at the dance.

Confused, Colin nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you a story."

"Thank you teacher!" Princess Judy smiled sweetly.

Prince Harrison, who was somewhat restrained on the side, was suddenly surprised. He had learned the "tearful" lesson last time, and knew that the teacher's story was not so pleasant. After listening to it, he might have nightmares again tonight.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Sister Vera, teacher, I... I want to go out and take a breath."

"Go." Colin nodded with a smile.

Prince Harrison was amnesty and ran out immediately.

Princess Judy looked at her brother's embarrassed figure and whispered, "Destroyer!"

Colin glanced at the eccentric princess, cleared his throat, and began to speak:

"It is said that in the depths of the vast sea, there is a kingdom of mermaids. The king has six daughters, and the youngest daughter is the most beautiful and the most beautiful singing..."

"What is a mermaid? Naga?" Princess Judy couldn't help interrupting.

"It's about the same, but it's more beautiful." Colin explained casually and continued, "When the little mermaid princess was fifteen years old, she floated on the surface to play, and when she saw a handsome prince, she was deeply attracted. Stay. The storm wrecked the prince's ship..."

With the development of the story, even Vera, who didn't care about it at first, put down the Holy Codex in her hand and listened intently to Colin's narration.

"...The mermaid princess found the witch...Drinking the elixir, she became a human, but she was also cursed. The mermaid princess became mute, every step she took was like stepping on the tip of a knife, and if the prince didn't marry the mermaid princess , then she will become a foam in the sea..."

Vera and Judy were completely fascinated by Colin's story at this time, and they couldn't help but start to worry about the mermaid princess when they heard this.

"...She found the prince and danced the most beautiful dance for him. Unfortunately, the prince didn't know what kind of pain she endured, and she didn't know that she saved him..."

"...The sisters of the mermaid princess couldn't bear to see her die, so they went to the witch, and the witch gave the mermaid princess a sharp knife. Only by killing the prince with this knife can the curse be lifted...

But the mermaid princess didn't kill the prince, he just kissed the prince on the forehead, and then jumped into the sea..."

"And then?" Princess Judy asked eagerly.

"Later..." Colin said in a low voice, "After that, people couldn't find the mermaid princess anymore, only a piece of pure white foam was found on the beach."

After finishing "The Daughter of the Sea", Colin picked up the kettle to moisten his throat.

However, the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely solemn at this time. The little girl had already been touched by the tragedy of the mermaid princess, and was about to cry. Even Vera's eyes were red, and she looked at Colin a little badly.

He seemed to blame him for telling such a poignant story.

"Princess Mermaid... is she really dead?" Princess Judy couldn't help asking timidly.

"Yeah, she's turned into foam in the sea." Colin gave a cruel answer with an indifferent expression.

"Wow—" Princess Judy couldn't hold back any longer, and cried out loudly.

Vera glared at Colin, and hurried over to hug the little girl in her arms, comforting her warmly.

Colin touched the tip of his nose and seemed to feel that he had gone too far...

So, he hurriedly took out some small cakes prepared by Queen Midella before leaving, and sent them to Princess Judy, comforting: "Here, your favorite cake!"

It's a pity that Judy ignored him, just buried her head in Vera's arms, her shoulders twitched, and she looked extra sad.

Collin was a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the motorcade suddenly stopped at this time, and at the same time, the voice of Bachelor Dawn came from outside the car: "Lord Duke, I met Mr. Ernest, the speaker of the Council of Mage, and he wants to meet you."

Ke Lin was amnesty, and immediately got up and said to Vera: "You have converted to the Lord of Glory now, and if you get entangled with the mage, you will always cause gossip, so let me go and see him."

Vera nodded.

Colin quickly got out of the carriage.

Princess Judy just raised her head from Vera's arms, but her face was covered in tears, looking distressing.

Vera handed over the small cake and said, "Would you like to eat some?"

Princess Judy took the small cake and stuffed it into her mouth, her rosy cheeks bulging suddenly.

The cake is sweet and delicious, but it was just my favorite food in the past, but now it also has some inexplicable bitterness.
