The Original Vampire

It's the end of summer, the weather is getting cooler, and the sun is no longer poisonous.

Ke Lin led the blood cavalry army all the way north, and it took only six days to reach Winter City.

In the evening, the towering Winter City is even more solemn and solemn under the reflection of the setting sun.

When Colin arrived under the city wall, he found that Vera was already standing in front of the drawbridge, welcoming the man who had returned from afar.

She was wearing a long purple lady's dress, which brought out the beautiful curves of her body without losing her dignified elegance. The just-right makeup made her already beautiful face more bright and moving, and the beautiful eyes looking at Colin were full of tenderness and sweetness. .

Colin felt warm in his heart, and immediately got off his horse and strode up.

Although he really wanted to hug the cute person in front of him into his arms, Ke Lin suppressed this urge and, according to the proper noble etiquette, knelt down on one knee and greeted his lord.

Unexpectedly, Vera grabbed Colin before he knelt down and said affectionately, "Colin, welcome home!"

Colin immediately stopped worrying about the red tape, leaned over and kissed Vera's clean forehead, and said with a smile, "My lady, you are so beautiful today!"

Vera smiled sweetly, then took Colin's arm and walked into the city together.

"Hello teacher!"

Inside the city gate, Prince Harrison and Princess Judy greeted crisply.

Colin nodded to the two little guys, and then helped Vera into the carriage.

Surrounded by a team of guards, the carriage passed through half of the city and came to the Lion's Roar Fort on the top of the mountain.

The servants had already prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome Colin's return.

Walking into the Knights Hall with Vera, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of roses.

Marquis Garcia, wearing a neat noble dress, stood in the center of the hall with his hands tied, and nodded to Colin.

Compared with more than a month ago, Marquis Garcia's spirit is much better, and his face is also a little bloody, but his body is still stooped, with a cane in his hand, and his eyes are no longer sharp. God has completely disappeared.

Colin also hurriedly bowed in return, and exchanged a look with the other party,

But didn't say much.

At this time, Bachelor Dawn, Knight Cambering, Emeritus Bishop and others also saluted Colin.

Master Joyce was also in the hall, but this young man was not very good at hiding his anger and anger. He nodded to Colin perfunctorily, and then he puffed out his cheeks and looked at the ground, as if he was reluctant to appear here.

Colin, of course, ignored a tantrum child, and immediately invited everyone to take a seat.

At such a formal dinner, everyone's seats are very particular. Colin and Vera sit side by side in the main seat, Marquis Garcia and Bishop Emeritus are on the right, Prince Harrison and Princess Judy are on the left, and Joe is on the left. Iss, Maester Dawn, and knights of the Saint Hilde family.

Since Archbishop Adjani is still dealing with Bishop John's funeral in Swan City, the Emeritus Bishop attended the welcome dinner on behalf of the church in Winter City.

Ke Lin looked around for a week, but he didn't see the former Minister of Agriculture of the Empire who was kidnapped by him from Winter Spring Town, so he asked, "Why didn't I see Bachelor Sonny?"

Bachelor Dawn smiled slightly and said, "Student Sonny said he would investigate the north to prepare for the next agricultural reform, so he is not in Winter City now."

Colin nodded, thinking that this Bachelor Sonny is really dedicated, and he started investigating as soon as he arrived, so he ignored him and let Vera announce the start of the banquet with a smile.

Vera immediately picked up the golden wine cup and said loudly: "Everyone, please drink this cup full. May the glory of the Lord of Glory protect us, and may the Saint Hilde family be prosperous forever!"

Everyone picked up their wine glasses and responded loudly.

Colin drank the champagne in his glass and said with a smile, "Everyone, please enjoy the food tonight!"

Everyone cheered, and immediately began to concentrate on the food on the table.

In this world, it is a very serious thing for a lord to hold a family banquet, and there is a very standard set of etiquette.

In the process of eating, no one is allowed to speak until the main course is finished, and the plate is struck with a knife and fork, indicating that they are full, and then they can chat with other people who are full.

The whole process is rather dull, and the only fun is seeing who eats more.

This is actually a part of etiquette. The more you eat, the more you can show your satisfaction with the food arranged by the lord, and at the same time you can show your strength and bravery.

The cooking level of the St. Hilde family chef is of course top-notch, charcoal-grilled crocodile tail, white mushroom oysters, steamed salmon, wine-broiled foie gras, creamy salad... All kinds of delicacies filled the giant long table.

With the clanging sound of the expansion of the knife and fork, everyone tried their best to stuff all the food into their stomachs while maintaining etiquette.

The maids walked lightly like butterflies wearing flowers, constantly changing clean plates and adding drinks to everyone.

Although Ke Lin didn't need these ordinary foods to replenish his energy, he began to feast upon the crowd who had a high appetite. The maid behind him had already changed his plates four times.

Seeing that the maid was about to change his plate for the fifth time, Colin finally tapped the plate to signal that he was full.

Vera, who was on the side, had already finished eating. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "Kolin, you have a good appetite today."

"Yeah, after leaving the North for so long, I still miss the food at home."

Bishop Emeritus also knocked on the plate, put down his knife and fork, and asked, "Your Excellency Viscount, I heard that Bishop John of Swan City was killed by Lucien?"

"To be precise, it was murdered by Lucien colluding with outsiders..."

Next, Colin selectively told everyone what happened in Swan City.

Of course, he didn't mention the "Duke St. Hilde" who had risen from the dead, but just replaced it with a "mysterious man".

The matter of Mr. Ho returning to his soul is too bizarre, and it is difficult to explain it clearly. Moreover, Ke Lin and Mr. Ho have reached a secret cooperation agreement now, and he does not want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Even though Colin had already hidden the most bizarre part, everyone still looked shocked, apparently not expecting that the peak warrior, the husband of Earl Schultz, would do such a thing.

"May the light of our Lord illuminate Bishop John and let his soul rest in peace!" After hearing this, Bishop Emeritus looked complicated and bowed his head in prayer.

Seeing this scene, everyone bowed their heads in prayer and expressed their condolences.

Colin looked at the people who were praying devoutly, thinking, if they knew that the Lord of Radiance had long been unable to hear their prayers and could no longer receive the power of their faith, would these people still remain pious?

After the prayer was over, the crowd began to chat.

Seeing that everyone had finished their meal, the butler instructed the maids to serve dessert.

Colin and Vera shared various experiences and knowledge of this trip to Royal Dragon City, and the atmosphere gradually became soothing and harmonious.

However, Colin noticed that Joyce kept whispering in Princess Judy's ear, making Judy giggle from time to time.

This made Colin look slightly moved. He was very curious. Is this Joyce really so attached to Princess Judy, or is he deliberately approaching the princess under the guidance of someone with a heart?

if the latter one……

The candles on the long table gradually burned out, and the dinner party came to an end.

Vera stood up to announce the end of the banquet, and then took Colin's hand and walked out.

However, at the entrance of the Knights Hall, Colin stopped, and after Marquis Garcia followed, he smiled at Vera: "You go back first, I will have a chat with the Marquis."

"Okay." Vera smiled gently and left immediately.

Marquis Garcia nodded to Colin and said, "Come with me to the study."

"it is good."
