The Original Vampire

Colin suddenly thought, does this Archbishop Adjani have any connection with the royal family?

So, seemingly inadvertently, he raised his hands to his chest, palms turned inward, and his fingers intertwined, forming a lotus-like mudra.

Then, he carefully observed Adjani's reaction.

However, Colin was disappointed.

When Adjani saw this handprint, she only showed doubts and didn't say anything else.

This handprint was shown to him by Queen Midella after "forming an alliance" with Colin, and she also said that if you see this handprint, you are someone you can trust.

But obviously, Adjani is not an ally of the royal family.

Colin immediately put away the handprint, folded his hands on his chest, and said with a smile, "I think you should go to the royal family. They are more interested in the Pope's black stuff."

However, Adjani shook her head and said, "Lord Viscount, you are wrong. The royal family is well aware of the degeneration of the church, and they are also willing to fight against the church, but they will never agree to reveal the truth to the public.

If I go to the door, I will only end up like the Dark Emperor. "

"Sorry, Your Excellency Archbishop, I don't want to end up like the Dark Emperor either." Colin shrugged and refused directly, "Only the two of us, even if we reveal the truth, we will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the church and the Paladin family. kill, and we will be vilified as lunatics and blasphemers, and no one will believe what we say.”

"Your Excellency Viscount, I'm not stupid, I certainly won't disclose the truth until I have enough strength.

And the reason why I choose you as a partner is because you are not a member of the Paladin family, but you have the potential to dominate a territory and even a larger territory! "

"His Excellency Archbishop, you look at me too highly." Colin's expression was still indifferent.

"No." An inexplicable brilliance flashed in Adjani's eyes, and her tone also contained a hint of bewitching, "You are now the guardian of the North, and I also know that the half-elf kingdom is also yours. Under control, even in the future, it is not impossible for you to march eastward, defeat the Tianma Army again, and enter Bailu City.

However, have you ever thought about a question.

Even if you do conquer the Eastern Territory one day, can the Angele family become a duke family? "

Colin's heart moved,

Seems to understand what Adjani wants to say.

"Your Excellency, the Duke of the Empire has never been granted to someone who is not a Paladin family! No matter what dazzling feats he has made!

I know your talent is amazing, you are already a fifth-order knight at a young age, but do you think you can become a paladin? "

Colin didn't answer.

However, he felt that if he could absorb the blood of the Paladins, he might not have the possibility to set foot in the sanctuary.

"It's not that I hit you, but in the more than 1,000 years of the Empire's history, no one from a non-Holy Knight family has ever set foot in the Sanctuary!

I don't know what secrets lie in it.

However, I think that even if you are a genius, I am afraid that you will not be able to break this shackle.

So, even if you become a sixth-order knight, what is the difference between you and the sixth-order warrior Lucien?

He is attached to Count Schultz, and you are also inseparable from the Saint Hilde family!

Even if you lead your army to conquer the Eastern Territory one day, the Angele family will never become the Lord of the Eastern Territory! "

Colin narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What are you trying to say?"

Adjani took a few steps closer, stared into Colin's eyes, and said seriously, "Didn't you keep asking me why I chose you as a partner?

That's the real reason.

Because you are not from the Paladin family!

The current belief system built on deceit, the last thing I want to see collapse is the church and the Paladin family.

Therefore, they will work together to conceal this truth and prevent the crisis of belief from happening.

However, as a descendant of a non-Holy Knight family, Viscount Angele, even if a crisis of faith occurs, the Shining Church's belief system collapses, is it really a bad thing for you?

Without the power of faith, there is no priest.

Without priests, no new knights can be born, and naturally there will be no more paladins!

Without the Paladins, why would the current royal family and the four major families stand at the top of the empire?

Why can't the Angele family become a duke? even……"

Adjani suddenly stopped talking, but Colin had completely understood what she meant.

At the same time, he also saw clearly the true face hidden under the pious appearance of Adjani——

That face is full of something called ambition!

Moreover, he was also frightened by Adjani's madness.

This woman looks holy, peaceful and compassionate, but in fact, she is a crazy careerist who can't wait for the chaos in the world!

Seeing that Ke Lin was silent, Adjani thought that he had already made up his mind, but he still couldn't make up his mind, so he opened his mouth again and said:

"Your Excellency Viscount, the battle between the royal family and the church is our best chance!

On this trip to the Royal Dragon City, I think Reinhard the Great must have encouraged you to enter the Eastern Territory?

To tell you the truth, His Majesty the Pope has repeatedly instructed me to prevent the northern army from successfully capturing Bailu City.

However, if you and I cooperate, I can help you block all the pressure from the church and promise you a stable rear, so that you can also enter the East without distractions.

As long as we conquer the Eastern Territory, we will have the capital to not be afraid of the Church and the Royal Family! "

Colin sneered and said, "Your Excellency Archbishop, have you forgotten that there are still two Paladins in the empire. They will sit by and watch us shake the foundation of the entire knight system?"

Adjani said confidently: "Your Excellency Viscount, have you forgotten that there is also a force in the East that can fight against the Paladins."

"Yavier?" Colin's expression changed, he realized something in an instant, and immediately said, "So you and Mr. Ho are in the same group!"

Adjani smiled suddenly, her beautiful face like a peach blossom.

"Your Excellency, do you have confidence in our plan now?"

Obviously, Adjani acquiesced to Colin's guess.

Colin lowered his head, all sorts of thoughts swirling in his heart.

He didn't expect that the haunted Mr. Xiang had quietly put his hand into the church, and even bought a high-level figure like the Archbishop of the North.

No wonder he dared to kidnap the bishop of Swan City, and even killed it outright, without worrying about the retribution of the church.

Adjani is bound to give him cover and help him through his weakest period.

And now, they have turned their minds to Ke Lin again, trying to win over the actual northern controller.

I have to say, Colin was a little moved.

He suddenly realized that this was indeed a good opportunity.

Originally, Colin was sandwiched between the royal family and the church. Both sides of the battle were trying to win him over, but they both wanted him to be a sharp sword in their hands. Now that a third party is added, Colin has more choices. , the space for both sides to move around and turn around will be wider.

At least, if Adjani and Colin reached a secret agreement, then he wouldn't have to worry that when he entered the Eastern Territory, the church would make trouble in the Northern Territory and drag him down.

Of course, Ke Lin is still very vigilant towards Mr. Ho and Ajani. Neither of them are good people. They just want him to be a tool for him.

"I wonder if I can meet Mr. Ho?" Colin asked tentatively.

Adjani hesitated, but nodded and said, "I will convey your intention to Mr. Ho, but you must also know that Prince Lehi is also in the north and is chasing after him, Mr. Ho is not too It is convenient to show up, so it may not be possible to arrange a meeting with you in the near future."

"I can understand." Colin smiled lightly and didn't say much.

He knew that he should have not really gained the trust of the other party.

"By the way, the magic in Vera, can you help to remove it?"

Adjani shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Viscount, that was a divine technique performed by the Pope himself, and only he can lift it. However, you don't have to worry. With me in the north, the church will never be your constraint. I will never use the Duke to cause you trouble."

"That's good." Colin nodded. In fact, this was the biggest reason why he was willing to cooperate with Adjani.

As for how the relationship between the two sides will develop in the future, and whether they will turn their faces, we will talk about it in the future.

Colin is confident that by that time, he should already have the confidence to compete head-to-head with the opponent.

"Happy cooperation!" Adjani stretched out her white and tender little hand and smiled.

Colin also held the other's hand and showed a bright smile:

"Happy cooperation!"
