The Original Vampire

"...that's probably how things are going."

After listening to Colin's story, Vera stared at her big round eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

It is estimated that I didn't expect that when I woke up from a dream, so many terrible things happened, and I didn't know which one to ask for a while.

"You really killed Cardinal Tournance?" Finally, Vera asked a message that might lead to the most serious consequences.

"That's right." Colin nodded calmly, "That guy's head is still hanging on the outer wall of Lion's Roar Fort."

Vera's beautiful eyebrows suddenly huddled together, and she said anxiously, "What should we do? Are we really going to start a war with the church?"

Colin squeezed Vera's little hand and asked in a relaxed tone, "My lord, do you think we should declare war on the church?"

Vera smiled slightly at the teasing tone of Colin, and her inner tension dissipated a lot, but she still said solemnly:

"Colin, although I am also disappointed and angry at the despicable methods of Pope Gregory and Cardinal Turnance, but... at this critical moment, the empire cannot withstand a civil strife."

Colin smiled noncommittally and continued to ask: "So, what do you think we should do to avoid a civil war in this situation?"

Vera thought for a while and said, "I think that since I have woken up from a coma, I should take the initiative to show up publicly, so that most of the people in the north will naturally dissipate their anger towards the Pope.

As for the death of Cardinal Turnance, although it will anger the church, it is also a punishment for their despicable methods. I believe that Pope Gregory would not dare to attack the North because of it if he was still a little sensible. At least he did not dare Attack at this critical moment.

I think this should prevent the situation from getting out of control. "

Colin sighed and asked, "For Pope Gregory, who almost killed us both, are you ready to let it go so easily?"

Vera was a little tangled and said helplessly: "I also let him be punished as he deserves, but...isn't the time right now...why should we slowly settle accounts with him later?"

"The timing..." Colin smiled and said, "I think now is the best time to persecute the church and make Pope Gregory pay the price!"

"Huh?" Vera was a little stunned.

Colin explained: "You are worried about causing civil strife and letting the Orc Empire take advantage of it, so the Pope is not worried? There are also the royal family, nobles of all realms, and the citizens of the empire, aren't they worried?

So, as long as we put on a crazy stance that we won't give up until we get revenge on you, everyone will put pressure on the church to avoid civil unrest.

Even the Pope himself is afraid of the complete collapse of the empire, so he does not dare to provoke us completely, so I say that now is the best time to force the Church to make concessions. "

"It makes sense." Vera nodded after hearing this, "Then the news of my awakening can't be released for the time being?"

Colin smiled and touched Vera's bright and fair face, and said, "Yes, you have to be wronged for a while, and be a vegetative person."

Vera nodded, she had no objection to this, but after thinking about it for a while, she asked worriedly: "However, if we push too hard, will it really cause the situation to get out of control?"

Colin smiled confidently and said, "Do you know what is most beneficial to us in this situation?"

"what?"

"It's that we are in control of the absolute initiative."

"Absolute initiative?" Gu

"That's right." Colin pointed to Vera and said, "Because you've woken up! This is our most advantageous card.

In this game, the rest of the parties are worried that the situation will collapse completely, and they will all have scruples, but only we do not.

Because even if the negotiation really falls apart, even before the moment before the Northern Alliance and the Knights Templar face off, we still have a way to salvage the situation——

You just happened to be 'miraculously' awake.

At this time, no matter how close the critical situation is, it will be relieved in an instant.

Therefore, as long as we can control the timing of your awakening, then we have the absolute initiative and psychological advantage in this game.

Therefore, it is possible to exert extreme pressure on the church without any scruples!

I want to see, under such pressure, can I pull that old Gregory off the horse? "

Vera nodded, and was finally persuaded by Colin, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Do you want to tell my father about my waking up?"

Colin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's better to hide from Marquis Garcia first. It's not that I don't trust him, it's that you understand his character... He's not a good actor. Now he is in charge of the power in the north. , must show enough anger to make the Church, all sides of the Empire panic."

Indeed, Marquis Garcia's military talent is unparalleled, and Colin is still enjoying his legacy. It can be said that most of the merits he has established today are due to the forging by Marquis Garcia himself. The invincible cavalry.

But unfortunately, Marquis Garcia has no talent in politics, perhaps because of his arrogant personality, which makes him disdain to play tricks and tricks, let alone act to deceive people.

Therefore, Colin felt that it would be better to keep the other party's secret for the time being, so as not to reveal his faults at the time, but it would be a bad thing.

"Okay." Vera wrinkled the tip of her nose and reminded, "Then you must help father well. I'm worried that he will act impulsively and act irrationally."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of this situation. If the situation really shows signs of collapse, I will arrange for you to 'wake up' in time."

"Yeah!" Vera was completely relieved.

Immediately, she remembered another question and said, "By the way, how did I wake up suddenly? Is it really the grace of the Lord?"

Colin thought of the prayer he had just made, and his heart stirred slightly, and said, "If I say that I am an apostle sent by the Lord of Glory to the world, so I can break the Pope's magic to save you, do you believe it?"

"Believe!" Vera nodded without hesitation. "Only the true apostle of our Lord has such mighty power! It's no wonder that you have been able to turn the tide in times of crisis and achieve achievements that mortals can't imagine!"

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Colin's mouth, as if he had finally made up his mind, he said with a smile:

"That's right. I am the apostle of the Supreme Lord, and I have transformed you into my family. From then on, your body will undergo a series of wonderful changes.

However, don't tell anyone this secret.

After all, there are too many false believers in our Lord. If they know my true identity, I am afraid they will not be willing to surrender their authority. "

"I understand." Vera nodded heavily and asked again, "So when are you going to reveal your true identity?"

Colin laughed and said:

"When I have the ability to execute the will of my lord and cleanse all the sins in the world!"
