The Original Vampire

In the hall on the first floor of the Red Fort, the lame-legged sat cautiously on the chair, not even breathing loudly.

A beautiful half-elf maid put a cup of hot water in front of the lame leg, and thanked the lame leg repeatedly, but did not dare to reach out to touch the delicate water cup, as if she was afraid of soiling it.

This half-elf maid was Cathy Savoy.

After completing the task given to her by Colin, she had the opportunity to become a baron in the half-elf kingdom, but contrary to everyone's expectations, she took the initiative to give up the title to another member of the Savoy family. Willingly became Colin's maid.

Others thought Cathy was so stupid that neither the baron nor the maid knew which one to choose.

But Colin felt that this was an ambitious half-elf.

However, if Cathy can't show her due value, then she can only be a maid serving tea and water by Colin's side.

After Cathy stepped back, another fat businessman walked into the hall under the escort of soldiers.

His expression was very haggard, and there were bruises on his skin that could not be covered by his clothes. It was obvious that he had just suffered a torture to extract a confession.

Colin looked at the familiar fat face and asked, "Are you the steward of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce in Ice Rock City - Olma?"

"Yes, Lord Viscount!"

"Who are you, Oliver?"

"He's my brother, my lord."

Colin suddenly smiled: "Oliver and I have some friendship. Since you are his brother, don't be too restrained, sit down."

"Yes, my lord." Allma sat down quickly, but she did not relax at all.

He had long heard his brother mention this Viscount Angele, and knew that this was not a lord who could easily fool the past.

"Alma, to be honest, I'm very sad. My relationship with the Tulip Chamber of Commerce has always been very harmonious, and there is even a loan of up to 300,000 gold coins from your Chamber of Commerce, but I didn't expect that you would try sedition in the territory!"

The fat on Allma's face trembled, and quickly begged for mercy: "Sir, I'm just doing things according to the orders from the Chamber of Commerce headquarters! I don't have any malice towards the Angele family!"

"but,

The rebellion has caused great losses to my territory. What do you think I should do? "

"I..." Olma murmured, but didn't know how to speak.

Originally, he thought that Colin would be afraid of Earl Uman standing behind the Tulip Chamber of Commerce and did not dare to do anything to him.

But unfortunately, a beating in prison made him realize the reality——

The Viscount Angele was not afraid to offend the Uman family at all.

After a while, he had no choice but to bow his head and say, "Sir, I am willing to accept the punishment you want..."

Colin did not immediately say the punishment, but looked at Alma up and down with scrutinizing eyes until he saw his heart tremble.

"You said earlier that the order to incite a slave rebellion was issued by the headquarters of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes, my lord."

"So it's all Miss Penny's idea?"

Allma sweated slightly on her forehead, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "It should be."

Colin asked again: "Ms. Penny is Earl Uman's favorite lover. Does the Earl know about this plan?"

The cold sweat on Olma's face grew even more: "This... I don't know about this..."

"Then what do you think? Is it possible for the Count to know?"

"But... maybe..."

Bang!

Colin suddenly slapped heavily on the round table, causing the two people on the opposite side to stand up in fright.

"Mr. Allma, did you know that you were just questioning the integrity of a northern earl?"

"I...I..." Olma sweated like rain, trembling all over.

Colin showed a gloomy smile: "Say, what would the Count do if he knew that you slandered him, Ms. Penny, and the Tulip Chamber of Commerce?"

Allma fell to her knees with a thud and cried, "Big...sir...forgive me!"

Colin suddenly laughed again, and his tone became soft again: "Orma, I hope you can understand that now it's not about how I punish you, but how the Count will punish you if he knows about you. ."

"Sir... save me..."

"stand up."

Allma stood up tremblingly, and then saw Colin hand over a roll of letter paper and a quill pen, and at the same time ordered: "Write a letter to your brother Oliver."

"Write... write what?" Allma looked blank.

"Tell him that you have leaked Earl Uman's conspiracy to me, and let him be careful not to be liquidated by Earl Uman."

"Sir...this..." Allma didn't dare to touch the pen.

Because he knew very well that Earl Uman might not know what he disclosed about the plot, but if such a letter fell into the hands of the Uman family, then he, and his younger brother, would definitely die without a place to be buried.

"Why, don't want to write?" Colin raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

"I, I write, I write." Looking at Colin's sensible gaze, Allma knew that even if he was reluctant, he had to leave this nomination certificate.

Seeing Olma shaking and picking up the pen, Colin frowned again and said, "Don't shake! What? Are you trying to hide the handwriting on purpose?"

"No, no, no! How dare I?"

Seeing Olma write the letter honestly, Colin recovered his smile and patted the other person on the shoulder a few times: "Don't worry, as long as you don't leave Ice Rock City, no one will dare to take you away. How about it."

"Yes, Lord Viscount!" At this time, Allma also regained her composure.

Because he knew that he had no choice.

Colin put the letter away, pointed at the lame standing beside him, and said, "This is lame, you will explain to him in detail the specific location of the slave rebellion arranged by your chamber of commerce near Ice Rock City. ."

"Yes." Allma nodded in response.

Colin looked at the lame again and instructed: "Lame, what I need you to do is very simple, that is, go to the place where these slaves rebelled and tell the rebels that there is food in Ice Rock City, a lot of food!

As long as you do this well, I can make you a free citizen without having to work hard every day to earn points. "

"Yes, my lord!" Although the lame didn't understand why Colin did this, he still responded loudly.

In fact, Colin just wanted to get more cheap labor.

These slave rebels are just a group of rabble, allowing them to spread across the territory will only cause more damage, it is better to lure them all to Ice Rock City, and then kill them all.

With a large amount of food, Colin was not worried that these slaves could not be resettled.

The slaves could be made to work without being paid, as long as they were given a little bread and broth every day to barely fill their stomachs, and they would not make trouble.

If there were ten more places to become freemen every month, then the slaves would work hard for Colin.

Hey, exploitation, it's that simple.

Of course, in such a famine season, someone like Colin who was willing to give his slaves a bite to eat would definitely be called a benevolent lord.
