The Original Vampire

"The First Kindred ()"

The babbling stream suddenly froze.

Only then did the arcane runes lurking at the bottom of the creek emerge, exuding dazzling brilliance, complementing the low-hanging silver moon.

Bathed in the moonlight, Saruman the Great opened his mouth and let out a silent roar.

This is a trap!

Emperor Saruman struggled hard, but at this moment he was at the weakest moment. He tried his best but still could not break free from the shackles of the circle.

A trace of black light escaped from Emperor Saruman's body, and a sharp roar could be vaguely heard from it.

The pupil of Saruman the Great split once again, and the golden light dots densely covered the originally dark pupil, which also blocked the light of reason and emotion.

At this critical moment, Saruman the Great chose madness again.

It's just that two consecutive maddenings in a short period of time are also a great burden for such a sacred skull crusher.

The golden blood was gurgling out of Saruman the Great's facial features.

But his momentum is also rising sharply, and the moonlight chains have begun to tremble, as if they are about to disintegrate in the next moment.

However, at this moment, Mr. Go ghostly came to Saruman the Great, the dagger in his hand was flashing with blue-purple light, and the lightning was inserted into the chest of Saruman the Great.

Roar! ! !

The roar of Saruman the Great was like a hurricane, sweeping the entire forest.

For a time, flying sand and rocks, the stream flowed backwards, and the arcane magic circle hidden at the bottom of the stream also dimmed. .

The chains of moonlight scattered in midair like quicksand.

But at the moment when Saruman the Great finally broke free from the shackles, Mr. Ho had already opened his chest and stretched out his heart that was still beating!

The golden light in Emperor Saruman's eyes dimmed in an instant, the madness that did not belong to life gradually subsided, and the light of reason reappeared.

After losing his heart, Saruman the Great did not die immediately, but recovered from a state of madness.

He stared blankly at Mr. Go and the heart that should have been beating in his chest, as if he couldn't believe his eyes at all.

"Saruman, you are no longer able to complete your mission, so I can only take back the gift from the teacher." Mr. Ho said lightly, the heart in his hand gradually stopped beating, and slowly changed from a mass of flesh to blood. Some kind of jade-like existence.

Saruman's consciousness gradually blurred, but at the last moment of his life, Mr. Gou in his eyes gradually overlapped with another person's image.

And a long-lost memory can't help but come back to my mind——

"Saruman, do you want to become stronger?"

"think!"

"But getting stronger comes at a price..."

"I'm willing to pay any price!"

"It's going to be a lot of pain..."

"No amount of pain can stop my belief in revenge!"

"You might even die..."

"I am not afraid of death!"

"Very good! Saruman, then go and kill the chief shaman of the Warsong Tribe and take out his heart!"

"But...but, the chief shaman of the Warsong Tribe is my father..."

"Didn't you say you're willing to pay anything?"

"I..." Young Saruman looked at the man in front of him, the hesitation in his eyes was finally replaced by firmness.

There was even a hint of imperceptible madness.

"it is good!"

The tender voice was drowned by the wind and sand, but it seemed to herald a bloody future.

...

"Lord Count!"

"Have you found Saruman's trail?"

"No, we have found the Duke of St. Grian."

"Take me there."

Colin followed the sentry for a while, and saw the Duke of St. Grian leaning against an elm tree.

Her complexion was extremely defeated, and her body was full of large and small wounds, which looked shocking.

Colin rolled over and dismounted, and quickly handed over a water bag full of deer blood.

The Duke of St. Grian took the water bag and drank it cleanly, and then his face recovered some blood.

Looking at the bruised paladin, Colin couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, and then sincerely thanked:

"Thanks for your hard work!"

The Duke of St. Grian gave Colin a blank look and said with a smile:

"I should thank you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to fight Saruman so well. It's just a pity that I still couldn't kill him."

"He can't run." Colin comforted, then looked around, wondering, "Where's Prince Leahy?"

"I lost so much blood before that I couldn't move. Prince Leahy went after him." Then she raised her finger and pointed to the southwest. "He ended up going in that direction..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a beam of light from the low moonlight in the sky burst out strangely, just in the direction pointed by the Duke of St. Grian.

Colin got up immediately and said:

"You rest for a while, I'll chase..."

"I'm better now, let's go together."

Without waiting for Colin to refuse, he jumped up and jumped onto Colin's war horse.

Colin had no choice but to get on his horse, put his arms around Duke St. Grian's waist, and galloped away in the direction of the moonlight.

...

However, it was said that Saruman the Great, whose heart was taken out, finally softened to the ground, and there was no sound.

It's just that his eyes are still wide, revealing infinite annoyance and unwillingness.

Dead restless.

Mr. Go, who was beside him, was carefully putting the heart into a wooden box, but then he seemed to notice something and turned around immediately.

After seeing the face of the person who came, Mr. Ho relaxed a little and said with a smile:

"Prince Lehi, you came just in time. There is a great merit here, waiting for you to come and get it."

Prince Lehi glanced at the corpse of Emperor Saruman, but then his eyes stayed on the wooden box in the hands of Mr. Ho, and asked in a deep voice:

"Mr. Ho, aren't you going to explain all this to me?"

Mr. Ho chuckled and asked back:

"Why should I explain it to you?"

Prince Lehi approached slowly, his face gloomy: "I thought you were a human, even a descendant of the Paladin family, even if you were dissatisfied with the past, even if you had resentment against the royal family, you should never betray the glorious empire. !

But I didn't expect that you actually colluded with foreigners..."

"Collaboration?" Mr. Ho shook his head and interrupted, "No, no, no. There's no collusion, it's just use. Just like when I used trolls to invade the North.

These foreign races are just pawns and have never been regarded as partners by me.

The only people who truly qualify as my partners are humans. "

Speaking of this, Mr. Ho sneered: "You were also regarded by me as a partner. But unfortunately, in the Loire Valley before, when you ignored my advice and hurriedly intervened in this battle, you also lost the continued cooperation with you. I am qualified to cooperate."

Prince Leahy smiled disdainfully and said:

"You have never been regarded as a partner by me, and you are not qualified to teach me how to do things!"

Mr. Ho didn't care about Prince Lehi's rudeness, he just pointed to the corpse of Saruman the Great and said with a smile:

"As a former partner, I give you one last gift - the head of this orc emperor, enough to make you wash away your former notoriety and become a hero of the glorious empire again."

After saying this, Mr. Ho said no more, diddges a few times, and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Prince Lehi wanted to catch up, but when he heard the sound of hooves approaching behind him, he stopped.

Immediately, he strode to the body of Saruman the Great, drew his sword and cut off his head.
