The Original Vampire

"Are you going to lead an army to the Western Territory in person?"

In the study, Mrs. Grace looked at Marquis Garcia in surprise.

Marquis Garcia nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie."

"What about Earl Angeli?"

"He will stay in the North."

Seeing Mrs. Grace frowning, Marquis Garcia seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and quickly added:

"Auntie, I know that you want the Swallow Butterfly Army to go to the West, and take this opportunity to establish merits and realize the re-rise of the Morrison family. So, if you have confidence in me, you can ask them to follow me on the expedition."

"Of course it's not that I don't believe in your military ability." Mrs. Grace looked at Marquis Garcia seriously, "It's just that your body has not fully recovered..."

"Don't worry, Auntie. Although I can't charge into battle like I used to, it's fine to be in command."

"Why not let Earl Angelie lead the army? He has proven himself many times and is an outstanding commander who is not inferior to you. Why should you be brave?"

Marquis Garcia hesitated for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said, "Auntie, you can't stand my loneliness. I have been away from the battlefield for too long, and I can no longer suppress my desire for victory. If this continues, I'm afraid... it's really going to be scrapped."

Mrs. Grace was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked in a deep voice:

"Garcia, do you think we might lose this war?"

Marquis Garcia's eyes flashed and he opened his mouth, but he nodded awkwardly in front of Mrs. Grace's sharp eyes and said:

"Auntie, I just got the news that Your Majesty will be on the expedition in person."

Mrs. Grace's expression changed, and she scolded angrily: "That guy who is ambitious and ignorant wants to go on a personal expedition? Doesn't Yulongcheng understand anyone? Where's Midella? She won't dissuade her?"

Marquis Garcia sighed and said, "That's why I have to lead the army in person, but don't worry, Auntie, I will try my best to preserve the army in the north, even if it violates His Majesty's military orders... This kind of thing is only me. Do it properly.

As for Colin, let him stay and guard the northern border this time. "

Mrs. Grace had a gloomy face, obviously very indignant at the news. She thought that this orc war would be an opportunity for the Morrison family to be reborn from the ashes, but now, it is very likely that the goddamn emperor will make it happen. a disaster.

Just when the atmosphere in the study fell into silence, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in." Marquis Garcia said casually, and then saw the housekeeper open the door.

"Lord Marquis, Lord Cardinal is here to meet."

"Tournance? He wants to see me?"

"Yes."

Marquis Garcia frowned suspiciously and said:

"Okay, bring him here."

"Yes."

Mrs. Grace took the opportunity to get up and said goodbye, "Then I'll go first, so I won't disturb your visit."

"Okay." Marquis Garcia nodded and said again, "Auntie, if you are worried about the war in the Western Region, you don't need to send all the Phoenix Butterfly Army to the battlefield..."

"No." Mrs. Grace shook her head firmly, "This is the best chance for the Morrison family. If you don't go all out, it will only lead to the disintegration of people's hearts... Once people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to get together again. .

Therefore, the Phoenix Butterfly Army will all follow you to the Western Territory. Whether the Morrison family can be revived depends on the arrangement of the Supreme Lord. "

After saying that, he turned and left. Valley

Marquis Garcia looked at the back of the other party and fell into deep thought.

It was not until the door was knocked again that Marquis Garcia came back to his senses, seeing that Turnance was already standing at the door, looking at himself with a smile, and said:

"Marquis Garcia, take the liberty to come, please forgive me."

"Sit down." Marquis Garcia nodded expressionlessly, as if he was in no mood to deal with the Cardinal of the Radiance Church.

Tournance didn't care about Marquis Garcia's indifference, walked into the study without seeing, and sat down on the sofa.

With light steps, the maid brought a cup of tea to Turnance, put away the cup that Mrs. Grace had used just now, and left quietly.

Turnance naturally saw the teacup that Mrs. Grace had used, her eyes flickered but she didn't ask anything.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "Marquis Garcia, I didn't disturb your reception, did I?"

"No." Marquis Garcia said casually, "I don't know why you came to see me, what's the matter?"

Turnance put down the teacup and said frankly: "Marquis Garcia, this time I visited the North Territory, in fact, I was entrusted by the Pope to investigate the tithe interception by the Eastern Territory nobles as military expenses."

Marquis Garcia's expression remained the same, as if not surprised by this, and said lightly:

"Then you came to the wrong place? You should go to White Dew City, not Winter City."

Tournance smiled slightly and said, "Marquis Garcia, I came to see you with infinite sincerity, so you don't need to deal with me with such diplomatic rhetoric, right?"

Marquis Garcia nodded. He was a straight man, and he didn't like those stupid things, so he said bluntly:

"You came to see Earl Angelie? But why do you want to see me?"

"Count Angele was excavated and promoted by you, and you also gave away the most precious black cavalry, saying that he is your heir, right?" Tournance said solemnly, "Now He has caused trouble, and of course I want to ask your opinion."

Marquis Garcia smiled noncommittally and said, "If you want to ask me about my attitude towards the interception of tithing by the eastern nobles, I actually support it.

At least in the current situation where the orcs are about to invade, if the Eastern Territory is to quickly mobilize and organize, it is natural to use some unconventional means.

I also believe that as the spiritual leader of the Radiance Empire, His Majesty the Pope will be able to understand and support the behavior of the nobles of the Eastern Realm. "

The smile on Tournance's face did not change, and it seemed that he was not surprised by Marquis Garcia's statement, but he did not continue to discuss this issue, but instead asked:

"So, what do you think of the series of new policies implemented by Earl Angelie in the North?"

"New Deal?" Marquis Garcia frowned and said, "I'm not proficient in politics. Those things were initiated by Earl Angele and implemented by Bachelor Dawn and Bachelor Sonny, and I was not involved.

However, given the current state of the North's rapid recovery from the turmoil, I think these new policies have been extremely effective. "

Turnance nodded, indicating that he understood Marquis Garcia's position, but then, his face became straight, and he said solemnly:

"Marquis Garcia, but in my eyes, Count Angele's new deal is utter blasphemy!"

"Where is the blasphemy?" Marquis Garcia asked with a sarcastic smile.

"Welfare lottery! That is the evil thing that evokes greed and longing in the depths of human hearts. It is the temptation of the devil! If things go on like this, everyone will have no intention of working hard and just want to buy lottery tickets and win big prizes!"

Marquis Garcia shrugged and said indifferently: "Since you think there is a problem with this policy, I will discuss with Count Angele to see if it can be cancelled..."

"No! Not enough!" Turnance put down the teacup, got up and came to Marquis Garcia, stared into the other's eyes, and said coldly, as a blasphemer, Count Angele must pay the price! "

"What price?"

"The price of life!"
