The Original Vampire

In the skylark city in winter, there really is no skylark.

However, Ke Lin saw a lot of Nestle in the corners of the eaves along the way. It is conceivable that when the spring flowers bloom, the sky in this city must be quite lively.

"Knight Beatrice, do you know where these larks migrate to in winter?"

Beatrice was stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting Colin to ask such a question.

You know, at this time, they were walking on the streets of Skylark City, and both sides were crowded with glaring Dongjing people.

Today, Colin's reputation in the Eastern Region is not good, and he is almost synonymous with demons.

If it weren't for the guards of the Fein family guarding both sides of the road, it is estimated that many people from the East who were just about to move would have rushed to tear Ke Lin to pieces.

But under such circumstances, Colin was still concerned about the migration of the lark, which surprised Beatrice.

"The lark migrates east in winter."

"Will it migrate into Huiyue Forest?"

"I don't know about this." Beatrice shook her head and said, "If you are interested in this, you can ask Yevil in the easternmost part of the Eastern Territory."

Colin nodded, thinking that he would visit that arcane city one day.

And the reason why he cares about the migration of the lark is because of a question - if the lark can migrate into the Huiyue Forest, doesn't that mean that the taboo restrictions of the Huiyue Forest only exist on the ground?

Of course, this makes no difference to humans. After all, even paladins can only volley briefly and cannot fly long distances.

But Colin can fly.

While thinking about it all the way, Colin had been led by Beatrice into the Fein family's castle and came to the parlour.

Beatrice waved away the maids who wanted to serve, poured a glass of red wine, and then brought it to Colin.

The wine was swirling in the cup, as red as blood.

Colin took it with a smile and drank it.

If it was Grace, she would probably ask one question - aren't you afraid of poison in the wine?

But Beatrice would not try so,

This cool-natured female knight just smiled, showing admiration.

"Lord Count, is my incompetent son okay now?"

"Very good." Colin said with a smile, "Silvermoon City is a good place, and half-elves are also a hospitable race."

"That's good." Beatrice didn't seem to be too worried about her son, and asked without rushing, "Then Lord Earl, what are the conditions for redeeming Lord Fei Ying?"

Colin turned the red wine glass in his hand and asked: "What else can your Fein family give me now?"

"Money, slaves, beauties... Lord Count, as long as you speak, the Fein family will do their best to meet your requirements. But..." Beatrice changed her conversation, "I think some of these things are not worthy of you. ."

"Really?" Colin put down his glass, leaned back on the chair, and asked with interest, "Then, what do you think is worthy of me?"

A strange light flashed in Beatrice's amber eyes. She came to Colin, and while refilling the wine glass, she said:

"How about a head?"

Colin narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "It depends on whose head it is."

Beatrice brought the glass to Colin and smiled sweetly: "Archbishop Kate, how is it?"

"The Duchess?" Colin was surprised.

Of course he knew that the "Archbishop Kate" in Beatrice's mouth was the wife of the Duke of St. Pros.

However, this sturdy female knight has just killed a bishop of Skylark City, and now she proposes to kill another archbishop of the East...

Is this determined to fight against the church?

Colin suddenly thought of something, and immediately crossed his hands to form a lotus-like handprint.

Who knew Beatrice just frowned after seeing the handprint, and asked in confusion, "Lord Count, is this wine not to your taste?"

Colin smiled a little embarrassedly, reached out and took the wine glass that Beatrice handed over and brought it to his mouth, using the opportunity to drink to cover up his embarrassment.

Originally, he thought that this Beatrice was another pawn placed by Queen Midella in the Eastern Territory, but now it seems that he thought too much.

"Knight Beatrice, do you have a grudge against the church?"

"There is no personal hatred, but there is public anger!"

Colin took a sip of wine and motioned Beatrice with his eyes to continue explaining.

Beatrice did not continue, but instead asked: "Lord Count, what do you think is the biggest hidden danger of Radiance Empire at present?"

"Orcs?"

"No." Beatrice shook her head slowly, "The orcs seem to be menacing, but they are not scary. Since the Radiance Empire has repelled the orcs twice, it is natural that they can do it a third time.

Moreover, in my opinion, external threats are necessary. As a person from the north who has been fighting trolls all the year round, you should be able to understand this. "

Colin nodded, already guessing what Beatrice was about to say, but he didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"I think that this degenerate and rotten church is the biggest cancer and hidden danger entrenched in the empire!"

Colin looked at Beatrice, who had a calm face, and reminded with a smile, "Knight Beatrice, do you know what will happen to you if this remark spreads?"

"Burned at the stake?" Beatrice shrugged and said nonchalantly.

Colin put down his wine glass, changed his sitting position, and asked again, "Then tell me, why did the church become the cancer of the empire?"

Beatrice refilled Colin's wine glass and said slowly, "Because of its existence, the Radiance Empire is torn apart.

For example, your invasion of the Eastern Territory this time, if I am not mistaken, it should be inspired by the royal family, right? "

Colin took the glass without admitting or denying it.

Beatrice didn't care, and continued: "The open and secret struggle between the royal family and the church has begun since the beginning of the empire's founding.

Such infighting seriously damaged the stability and unity of the empire.

The church that was supposed to spread the glory of the Lord and help the people realize redemption, has lost itself in the wrong way of fighting for power and profit.

All they think about all day is how to divide and win over the lords to help them fight against the royal family and safeguard their own interests.

Wasn't the Eastern St. Pros family just such a tool - or rather - a victim!

My good daughter-in-law, Bishop of Skylark City, why did you instigate the knights of the Fein family to assassinate you?

Isn't it for the sake of the unresolvable deadly feud between the East and the North!

And the Duchess who is the Archbishop of the East, I know all the little tricks she played in Bailu Castle! "

Hearing this, Colin couldn't help but have some doubts on his face.

Seeing this, Beatrice immediately said, "Lord Count, please allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Beatrice St. Pros."

Colin raised his brows. He didn't expect that this knight was from the St. Pros family, but the doubts on his face did not completely dissipate.

In his opinion, a lady like Beatrice, who married into the Viscount family, probably came from a collateral line, and even after being married for so many years, how could she still be aware of the secrets of Fort Bailu.

Who knows, Beatrice continued:

"I am the sister of the Duke of St. Pros."
