The Original Vampire

"Earl Hall, do you like this city?"

Standing on the balcony of Phoenix Butterfly Castle, watching the rising sun illuminate the sky of Huayu City, Ke Lin asked this question again.

If it was said that Earl Hall was still a little confused when he first entered the city, but after a thrilling night, he finally understood the meaning of Colin's question.

The Morrison family has been deprived of titles and territories, so this earl territory can be used as the fief of the Hall family.

"Of course I like it." Earl Hall said respectfully immediately.

In fact, he didn't particularly want to take over this earl territory, because it was deeply branded by the Morrison family, and the Hall family had to go through a long process to get the people in this territory to return to their hearts.

Even some ignorant territorial people will think that the move of the Hall family has led to the defeat of the Morrison family, and those who are nostalgic for the Lord will probably resent the Hall family for this. The former lord was a little harsh, and I am afraid that it will immediately cause a lot of dissatisfaction and even riots.

However, Earl Hall also understood that he could not refuse Earl Angelie.

After so many days of getting along, Earl Hall has also figured out the character of this young guardian of the north. It seems gentle, but in fact it is extremely strong.

Since Earl Angelie has decided to confer this earldom to the Hall family, Earl Hall actually has no chance of rejecting it.

You must know that a piece of earldom is not small, and even the Duke of the North may not be able to easily take it out.

If they miss the Morrison family's territory, the Hall family still doesn't know if they can get a territory that matches their status.

Although there are many troubles in running this territory, perhaps this is the test of Earl Angele for the Hall family.

Even if you think about it a little more, maybe Earl Angelie just doesn't want the Hall family to control the new territory too smoothly.

Because the main army of the Hall family is the navy, and cannot participate in this war against the orcs, then when the northern army goes to the west, in the empty north, the Hall family seems to stand out from the crowd.

As a force that has just joined the North, Earl Angele must be wary of the Hall family, so assigning them a territory that is not so easy to control is one of the preventive measures.

Colin looked at Earl Hall with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, since you have no opinion, after we return to Winter City, I will let Duke Saint Hilde confer this place to the Hall family. "

While speaking, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps behind him.

Colin turned back and saw Knight Logue hurriedly ran to the balcony.

"What's wrong?"

"Lord Earl, Franco Morrison died of poison."

Colin froze for a moment, sighed, and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Not long after, Colin came to Franco's room under the leadership of Knight Logue.

It was already crowded with people, and the important members of the Morrison family were basically there, but they looked at Franco's body with different expressions, some were sad, some were resentful, and some were relieved...

After all, Franco can be said to be to blame for the current situation of the Morrison family. Perhaps the reason why he committed suicide by taking poison was because he did not know how to face the clansmen.

"Count Angrie, I made you laugh." Lady Grace, who had just lost her beloved son, was as pale as a piece of paper, but she still greeted Colin with Nina's support.

Colin still has a good impression of Mrs. Grace. After all, without her help, the Morrison family might not be obedient, and Colin would have to spend a lot of money.

"Mrs. Grace, please also condolences."

Mrs. Grace was silent for a while, then looked into Colin's eyes seriously, and said:

"Count Angele, I want to ask you one thing."

Colin smiled slightly and said, "Please speak."

Mrs. Grace's cloudy eyes swept across the faces of the Morrison family members, and then said in a deep voice:

"Count Angrie, I would like to ask you to accept the allegiance of the Morrison family."

Colin was slightly startled, and before he could speak, he saw Seiken Morrison stood up and shouted with red eyes:

"Grandma! I will never give allegiance to him!"

Mrs. Grace looked at her grandson quietly, and said quietly:

"Seiken Morrison, then tell me, what are your plans? How are you going to restore the Morrison family's glory?"

"I..." Seiken Morrison was at a loss for words, and the confusion in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

But he still held his neck and said stubbornly: "Then I will not swear allegiance to the enemy!"

"Enemies?" Mrs. Grace shook her head and said, "Don't you understand now? The Morrison family is self-inflicted. If you want revenge, you should go to Mr. Ho, the mage who took Horus away!

And Earl Angelie is not only an enemy of the Morrison family, on the contrary, he stopped Horus' evil deeds, which is the greatest kindness to the Morrison family. "

Seiken Morrison stopped talking, but still looked down at his father's body, still unwilling to submit to Mrs. Grace's arrangement.

Mrs. Grace was disappointed, but she regained her spirits. She glanced at the Morrison family knights in the room, and said loudly:

"You are the knights of the Morrison family, and it is your responsibility to protect the honor of the family.

These are the hardest times for the Morrison family, but it's also the time when the Morrisons need you the most.

No titles and territories, but at least you still have strong physique and unyielding will.

Moreover, the orc invasion is imminent, it is a good time for you to make achievements!

If you still recognize me as an old grandmother, believe me this time, be loyal to Count Angele, and follow him to the West to fight on the front line against the orcs!

That's the only hope for the Morrison family's revival. "

The room fell silent for a moment, and many people's faces showed signs of struggle.

But as time went by, many knights from the Morrison family came to Colin one after another and knelt down on one knee.

Now that the Morrison family has lost their titles and territories, these people have become wandering knights. Although they will not be reduced to the commoners, they have also lost their source of income. If they do not find a lord who is willing to take them in, they will soon be There is no money to support the horses and maintain the weapons.

At that time, they will really be no different from civilians.

Mrs. Grace is right. If they want to return to the noble class, their only hope is to make achievements in this war against the orcs.

Of course, orcs are not easy to deal with.

In order to build meritorious deeds, rather than to die, one must first follow a strong commander.

And Earl of Angele... Is there a commander in the north who is better at fighting than him?

Looking at the Morrison family knights who were kneeling in front of him one after another, raising their sabres above their heads, Colin also hesitated——

To accept, or not to accept?
