The Original Vampire

"Colin, didn't you sleep last night?"

Vera looked at Colin, who was yawning, and asked with concern, while handing over a roasted deer leg.

Colin took it and smiled: "It's okay, I was woken up by a few mosquitoes in the middle of the night last night, and then I didn't fall asleep."

"Are you going to take a nap in the afternoon?"

"No need, let's continue on our way after we finish lunch later, and withdraw the Golden Lion Army earlier, so that we can feel at ease earlier."

"Okay." Vera didn't persuade anymore, and handed Colin a few slices of white bread.

Bachelor Dawn's eyes flickered slightly, because he saw that when Colin reached out to pick up the food, there were obvious scratches on the exposed arm.

However, he didn't ask anything.

That's how smart people are. Even if they see a problem, they know what they shouldn't ask. Don't ask.

Colin actually noticed the gaze of Bachelor Dawn, but when he saw the other party pretending not to see it, he took a bite of the roasted venison and said:

"Maester Dawn, what kind of family do you think the Morrisons are?"

Maester Dwayne paused, and said after deliberation: "Lord Viscount, I think the Morrison family should have the qualities of a good family, loyal, humble, and pragmatic!"

Colin chewed on the three evaluations given by Master Dawn, and seemed to have some ideas in his heart.

Obviously, the three adjectives given by Maester Dawn were not chosen at random.

First of all, loyalty, which means that the Morrison family is deeply involved with the Saint Hilde family, and there is basically no room for betrayal.

Secondly, humility, this is to imply that the Morrison family is low-key and has a low reputation in the North.

Finally, pragmatically, this is also the most interesting evaluation.

Will a pragmatic family insist on marrying the daughter of the Saint Hilde family from generation to generation, knowing that the bloodline purification theory is not feasible?

Especially when such behavior has caused the Morrison family to suffer a "blood curse".

Obviously not possible.

so,

There must be a deep reason why the Morrison family is obsessed with the daughter of the Saint Hilde family!

Thinking of the horror scene he saw under the bell tower of Phoenix Butterfly Castle last night, Colin suddenly had some guesses.

Bachelor Dawn seemed to see some of Colin's thoughts, so he persuaded: "Lord Viscount, I think you should pay more attention now, not the Morrison family."

"Oh? Which family do you think it should be?"

"The Uman family." Bachelor Dawn said decisively.

"Uman..." Colin chewed on the name of this familiar old rival family, "What do you think?"

"Lord Viscount, you also heard the news that the Falling Eagle City was burned down in Phoenix Butterfly Castle. Obviously, the Uman family has become the abandoned son of the Saint Theon family, no, more accurately, it should be a sacrifice.

Earl Uman, whose home was destroyed, will definitely not continue to be loyal to the Saint Theon family, and his family soldiers will definitely hate the Saint Theon family who destroyed their homeland, so this is our chance. "

"You want to win over the Uman family?" Colin frowned.

He didn't want Earl Uman to be in the same camp with him, doesn't that mean that his predecessor's revenge can't be avenged?

Moreover, with the old silver coin of Earl Uman, Colin could not rest assured to give his back to him.

Bachelor Dawn doesn't seem to be too keen to win over the Uman family, and said lightly: "I just think I can give it a try. However, I guess that the Saint Theon family may have a solution to the Uman family long ago, and they will definitely not. Let the enemy you just established turn around and throw yourself into the arms of the Saint Hilde family.

Therefore, we should first confirm the situation of Earl Uman and his family's army. If he has not yet suffered from the poison of the Saint Theon family, then we can indeed win over and take the opportunity to disintegrate the forces of the Saint Theon family. "

Colin nodded, did not speak, and did not clearly agree with Maester Dawn's suggestion.

Bachelor Dawn seemed to want to say more, but suddenly felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a lot.

call--

The breeze was blowing, bringing with it a burst of frost.

The bonfire in front of him also began to sway, as if it would go out in the next second.

"There is a problem!" Colin immediately stood up, threw away the deer's legs, and held the saber around his waist.

"It's arcane fluctuations!" Vera also exclaimed, "There is a mage casting spells! Moreover, he is an extremely powerful mage!"

"Alert! Search around!" Knights of Logue shouted loudly immediately, and at the same time sent a cavalry squad to try to find the mage who was casting spells.

The originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy in the blink of an eye.

It seemed as if it was going to rain in an instant.

"He's in the woods to the west!" Vera suddenly pointed out and shouted.

"Quick! Stop him!"

Amidst the rapid sound of hoofs, a group of cavalry rushed towards the direction Vera pointed.

But before they could find out the mage hiding in the shadows casting spells, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky.

Boom!

What followed was a dull sound of thunder.

After that, snowflakes fluttered in the sky.

That's it?

Ke Lin and the others, who had been waiting for them, were suddenly dumbfounded.

Looking at the opponent's formation, they thought it was some kind of terrifying spell, but they also thought that it was just snowing.

Of course, being able to create a heavy snowfall in early summer is a bit of a skill...

At this time, the cavalry team that rushed over had also found the mage and immediately escorted him to Colin.

"Mr. Kusius? Why are you?" Vera cried out in surprise when she saw the person who came.

No wonder she always felt a very familiar aura just now, it turned out that her teacher was casting spells.

"Haha, Miss Vera, Viscount Angele, don't be nervous, I'm just joking with you."

Kusius was put on his back with swords by the cavalry, but he had a calm expression on his face, and even had the mind to joke.

Ke Lin looked at this indifferent high-level mage, his mind moved slightly, but on the surface it was a welcoming attitude, smiled and shook hands with the other party cordially:

"Mr. Kusius? I'm so lucky to meet you here! Vera keeps telling me that you taught her a lot in Yeville, and I've always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you in person for taking care of her. "

"Lord Viscount, you are too polite! I hope my joke just now didn't cause you too much trouble."

"Of course not, do you want to have dinner together?"

"my pleasure!"

Kusius was not polite to Colin, he walked carelessly to the campfire, grabbed a piece of roasted venison directly on the grill, and put it to his mouth to chew.

"Wow! It tastes good!"

While eating, he praised with a thumbs up.

"Teacher, what are you doing in the north this time?" Vera poured a glass of red wine and handed it over.

Kusius took the glass, drank it all, then burped the wine contentedly, and said casually:

"I'm just here to travel, and also to see my friends in the north, of course, and you, my good apprentice!

It's been more than a year since you left Yeville, haven't you missed your schoolwork? Do you still remember spell knowledge? "

"Of course I remember!" Vera said immediately, just a little lack of confidence.

Kusius saw through it at a glance, and immediately began to investigate Vera's arcane knowledge.

Colin watched from the sidelines, his vigilance undiminished.

The timing of the appearance of this Khusius mage is too coincidental!

Moreover, according to Vera, this man was a close friend of the gentleman of the Saint Theon family.

Even the Forbidden Spell that killed Duke St. Hilde released by the entire Fallen Eagle City is suspected to be an improved version of a Forbidden Spell called "Petrified Eye" once collected by Master Kusius. .

Under such circumstances, Colin could not believe that Kusius really knew nothing about what happened in Eagle Falling City.

I don't even believe that the other party suddenly appeared here, not because of other intentions.

Of course, Colin wouldn't drive him away, after all, he was also Vera's teacher anyway.

Moreover, a mage who hides in the dark is the most terrifying thing. Those who actively expose themselves like him are not much of a threat.
