The Original Vampire

When Colin walked into the study, he noticed that the layout here had completely changed.

Tables, chairs, cabinets, floor and windows are all rebuilt with brand new mahogany, and the entire study is filled with a touch of log atmosphere.

A row of white crystals are inlaid on the snow-white walls. These crystals are a special arcane material that can amplify the light. Without too many candles, the entire study can be brightened like daylight.

Above the fireplace hung a huge and colorful tiger head specimen. It is said that it was hunted and killed by the previous generation of Duke Saint Hilde, but now it has disappeared, replaced by a gorgeous blood rose garland.

The change in the study also seems to suggest that the owner of the castle has changed.

"Count Schultz is not Vera's biological mother. Fortunately, you were not fooled." Marquis Garcia said.

Colin nodded, and then carefully probed: "Then, Vera's biological mother is..."

Marquis Garcia glanced at Colin with a warning look, hesitated for a moment, but said, "You don't need to know who she is, you just need to know that she is no longer alive, so no matter who comes out and claims to be Vera's biological mother, all fake!"

Colin sighed secretly, thinking that Queen Midella had indeed lied.

Good guy, it's all a bunch of fucking actors!

Fortunately, I myself...

"Then... Who are the people who know the true identity of Vera's biological mother?" Colin asked again.

Because he realized that Mr. Ho dared Earl Schultz to pretend to be Vera's biological mother, and was sure that Marquis Garcia would not dare to expose them publicly. Obviously, he knew the true identity of Vera's biological mother, and knowing this identity should be shameful.

The question is, how did Mr. Ho know?

Queen Midella knew about this, and Ke Lin could understand it. After all, they were brothers and sisters, so it was not surprising that they knew some of his brother's secrets.

But Mr. Ho... Could it be that while he occupied Duke St. Hilde's body, he also gained his memory?

"Why do you ask that?" Marquis Garcia looked at Colin with vigilant eyes.

Colin had no choice but to tell the story that Mr. Homage might have occupied Duke St. Hilde's body to revive him, and bewitched Earl Schultz to pretend to be Vera's biological mother.

certainly,

He did not reveal the secret cooperation agreement between Adjani and himself in the church basement.

Marquis Garcia was silent for a long time after hearing this, and his expression kept changing.

In fact, Marquis Garcia knew that what was buried in the family tomb was not the real body of his brother. When Colin exchanged him from the East, he confessed to him.

He could also understand the necessity of using fake corpses to fool the past under the circumstances at the time. He did not criticize Colin too much. He just said that when Vera successfully succeeded the duke, he would ask the Morrison family for a duke. 's remains.

Unexpectedly, this body has already been occupied by Mr.

Moreover, this kind of reinstatement of a corpse was too unbelievable, and Marquis Garcia was a little unacceptable for a while.

After thinking for a while, Marquis Garcia suddenly said: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I will personally negotiate with the Morrison family."

With a move in Colin's heart, he immediately realized that the Saint Hilde family and the Morrison family might still have some connections that he didn't know about.

Even the blood pool under the Morrison family clock tower, will the Saint Hilde family know about it?

Thinking about it a little more, the Saint Hilde family married so many noble daughters to the Morrison family, didn't they have other plans?

Thinking that so many innocent girls were probably unknowingly used by the two families as a tool for some kind of bloody research, Colin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

But he also knew that this should involve some dark secrets of the Saint Hilde family, and Marquis Garcia obviously didn't want to let him get in too much contact.

In desperation, Colin had no choice but to nod and say yes, and then changed the subject, telling the story of Vera's magical technique by Pope Gregory when she was baptized.

Marquis Garcia listened quietly, and fell into silence again. After a while, he asked back: "Do you know what was the biggest difference between Sirius and me?"

Colin was stunned for a while, and then realized that the "Seris" in the mouth of Marquis Garcia was the name of the previous generation of Duke Saint Hilde.

"It should be the development direction of the North, right?" Ke Lin recalled the various conflicts between the two brothers, "The Duke wants to conquer the rich but weak East, and you are bent on destroying the Troll Empire."

"That's right." Marquis Garcia nodded with a look of emotion on his face, "At this time last year, after we wiped out an army of 300,000 trolls on the ice field in the sky, Sirius couldn't bear it any longer. Live your determination to go east.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to marry Vera to the half-elf kingdom, just to control the key to enter the eastern border, and at the same time force me to lead the black cavalry to the east.

It's a pity that Mr. Ho's conspiracy completely disrupted Sirius' plan..."

Colin Muran, he had personally experienced Vera's marriage to the half-elf kingdom. At that time, he was still complacent, thinking that he had taken advantage of it. In fact, in retrospect, he himself was just drifting on the chessboard. An ignorant pawn.

"Seris wants to enter the Eastern Territory, in addition to coveting the richness of the Eastern Territory, but also because the royal family is behind the instigation." Marquis Garcia glanced at Colin and asked, "This time I will go to Royal Dragon City, Reinhardt. The Great Emperor and Queen Midella should have drawn you in too, right?"

Colin nodded and said, "Yes, they do hope that I can enter the Eastern Territory and cut off the Church's greatest support in the secular world."

Marquis Garcia stared into Colin's eyes and asked, "What do you think?"

"I..." Colin looked at Marquis Garcia's serious expression, but changed his words, "I don't think humans should kill each other, this will give aliens an opportunity!"

Marquis Garcia showed a relieved smile on his face, nodded and said: "You can understand. As a knight, the most important character is loyalty.

I remember when I was in Ice Rock City, I once asked you, what is loyalty? "

Colin nodded, involuntarily touched the blade of judgment on his waist, and scenes of the past gradually came to his mind.

Marquis Garcia continued: "Loyalty does not mean being loyal to someone, because people's hearts are unpredictable and changeable. What truly deserves your infinite loyalty can only be a certain belief!"

"Faith?" Colin chewed on Marquis Garcia's words, if he realized something in his heart.

"The belief of a knight is to protect." Marquis Garcia's face became extremely pious, "I have done everything in my life to protect the human race! This is my belief, no matter what happens, no matter where I am, I will always be loyal. to it."

Having said that, Marquis Garcia patted Colin's shoulder heavily and said seriously: "I hope you can also find a belief worthy of your infinite loyalty.

Only in this way, you will not be caught in the endless struggle for power and profit, and you will not lose yourself. "

Colin looked at Marquis Garcia's pure and fearless eyes, and felt the weight coming from his shoulders. He suddenly realized why this Marquis had spent the first half of his life on the most difficult front line in the North, and regarded trolls as his life. enemy.

And the entanglement between him and his brother turned out to be because of this.

Perhaps, this is the real knight, this is the guardian of the human race!

For a time, the hunched figure of Marquis Garcia became taller in Colin's eyes.

"I see." Colin said seriously.

Marquis Garcia smiled lightly and said, "I have always been optimistic about you, don't let me down."

After saying this, he turned around and walked out the door.

Colin suddenly said: "Lord Marquis, I am going to implement the agricultural reform plan of Bachelor Sonny in the north, and I am also going to borrow..."

Marquis Garcia waved his hand without turning his head and interrupted: "You don't need to tell me about these government affairs, you can do it yourself. After all, you are now the guardian of the north and Vera's husband. You are qualified and obligated. Help her manage the North."

"Okay." Colin breathed a sigh of relief. He actually didn't want to be restrained by Marquis Garcia, but luckily the other party didn't want to either.

Immediately, Colin said again: "In addition, I will go to the Half-Elf Kingdom to purchase food next month, and I hope you can help me sit in the northern border."

Marquis Garcia turned around with a narrow smile on his face: "Is Queen Elsa about to give birth?"

Seeing through his true purpose, Colin smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Marquis Garcia didn't say much, after all, he has an illegitimate daughter himself, and he didn't accuse Colin on this issue...

"Be careful on the road." Marquis Garcia nodded casually and walked out of the study.

"Yes!"
