The Original Vampire

The dim candlelight and the open coffin made the atmosphere in the camp a bit gloomy.

Colin, Vera, and Bachelor Dawn surrounded the coffin with solemn expressions.

"This is indeed not my father's body." Vera said with certainty, "There is no arcane fluctuation on it, it is just an ordinary stone sculpture. If it is really a body that has been petrified by the Forbidden Curse, this situation is impossible."

Colin slapped the coffin lid with a heavy palm and said angrily, "It must be the Morrison family!"

Vera frowned slightly and asked in doubt: "But why did the Morrison family do this? What is the use of stealing his father's body for them?"

Ke Lin hesitated for a while, but still didn't tell what he had seen in the underground cave of the Bell Tower of Phoenix Butterfly Castle.

After all, it involved his biggest secret, and even if it was the person next to him, Colin was reluctant to tell it frankly.

At least, not yet.

"I suspect that the Morrison family has secret connections with Knight Nelson and others," said Maester Dwayne in a surprising tone.

"Huh?" Colin was slightly startled and asked quickly, "Why do you say that?"

Bachelor Dawn said unhurriedly: "Lord Viscount, have you noticed that when Knight Nelson said that he would pay tribute to the Duke's remains, it was after you gave the suggestion to withdraw troops and return to Winter City.

It seems that he already knew that as long as the coffin is opened, a replaced body will be seen, so that we cannot completely confirm the fact that the Duke is dead.

In this way, Knight Nelson and others would have reason to reject the proposal of a duke heir like Miss Vera. "

Colin nodded solemnly, and found that what Bachelor Dawn said was indeed quite reasonable.

The actions of Knight Nelson and others, in retrospect, do seem to have known in advance that the coffin contained a fake corpse.

"Then, the Morrisons, and the Knights of Nelson, why did they do this?"

Hearing Colin's question, Bachelor Dawn rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before answering:

"I think there should be two motives for them to do this.

First, it was the surrender of the Uman family that made Knight Nelson full of confidence, and this was how he thought of a showdown with the dwarves. If you think so, I am afraid that Earl Uman also participated in this conspiracy. "

hear here,

Colin nodded involuntarily, because he thought of Earl Uman's behavior when he saw the coffin. His pretentious appearance was indeed very much like he had known in advance that the Duke's body was fake.

"Second..." Maester Dwayne continued, "If Knight Nelson and Count Uman join forces to defeat the dwarves, then they will become the true heroes of the North.

At that time, maybe they will also be consulted on the ownership of the Duke of the North.

It is foreseeable that they should elect Master Joyce as the Lord of the North.

After all, a child like Joyce is easier to control, unlike Miss Vera, who has her own opinions and is married to a powerful lord..."

"Haha." Colin suddenly laughed, and he didn't know if it was because of the last little flattery of Bachelor Dawn, or because he was laughing at Knight Nelson and the others over their own abilities.

I have to say that Bachelor Dawn gives a very good analytical perspective.

Colin originally thought that the Morrison family stole the Duke's body on their own initiative and wanted to do some secret research.

But now, he feels that maybe the other party's purpose is not so simple, and there is probably more than just the Morrison family behind this conspiracy.

At least Earl Uman has a high probability of participating. This guy has a grudge against Colin, and he definitely doesn't want to see Vera succeed in taking the position of Duke of the North.

Therefore, he will definitely try to prevent the Golden Lion Army from falling into Vera's control.

"Earl Morrison is so ambitious! Humph! Then he will never marry Cousin Nina!"

Seeing Vera's puffed up appearance, Colin suddenly became happy.

Unexpectedly, this is what she thought of at this moment, the brain circuit is really weird and cute.

Touching Vera's head, Colin turned his head to look at Master Dawn again, and seeing that he was still calm, he asked:

"Master Dawn, when you persuaded me to come here, didn't you think about the situation if Knight Nelson didn't obey the order?"

"Of course I thought of it." Bachelor Dawn looked confident, "There was indeed a backup plan at the beginning."

"Oh? Please tell me." Colin asked quickly with a happy expression on his face.

Bachelor Dawn looked at Colin and said leisurely: "Lord Viscount, the backup plan I mentioned actually lies in one person. You should have noticed who he is."

When Colin rolled his eyes, he immediately thought of the knight Cambering who had been silent among the three high-level commanders of the Golden Lions.

Before leaving, Colin also had eye contact with the other party.

Obviously, the knight Cambering had something to say to Colin.

"You're talking about the Knights of Cambering."

"That's right!" Bachelor Dawn snapped his fingers and explained, "Actually, when the Duke appointed the commander-in-chief of the Golden Lion Legion, he kept an eye on it.

You should have also seen that Knight Cambering, Knight Nelson and Knight Lewis are obviously wrong. No, it's not just the wrong way.

In fact, Knight Cambering and Knight Nelson have an enmity, which is old and old, but the Duke just shoved Knight Cambering into the Golden Lion Army led by Knight Nelson and became his deputy. One of them is that they don't want the top management of the Golden Lions to become monolithic.

In this way, Knight Cambering became an eye that could not be bought, watching Knight Nelson on behalf of the Duke.

And if something goes wrong with Knight Nelson, then..."

Colin took the conversation decisively: "Then the Cavaliers of Cambering are the candidate for the legion commander!"

Bachelor Dawn nodded slowly, showing his white teeth with a smile, looking a little hideous in the dim candlelight.

Hearing this, Vera seemed to react, her eyes widened in surprise, and she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Could it be that...you want to kill Knight Nelson?"

Colin's eyes flashed and he comforted: "Knight Nelson doesn't have to be killed, as long as he takes back the command of the Golden Lion Legion from him. As for Earl Uman, hehe, he has to die!"

"But...but, hasn't Earl Uman surrendered?" Vera obviously still has illusions about Earl Uman and even Knight Nelson, "Can't we just let Earl Uman and Knight Nelson fight the dwarves? If they If you win, won't the northern rebellion be completely pacified?"

Colin shook his head firmly: "You are too naive. Even if they can defeat the dwarves, after the victory, the first thing to deal with is the Angele family, and of course you. The superior clears the obstacle.

What's more, the Golden Lion Legion is the last chip of the Saint Hilde family, why should it be handed over to others and become their bet on the table?

If this bet is lost, then Winter City will definitely not be able to hold on. At that time, the Lord of the North will really have to change his surname.

Under the current situation, the safest choice is to lead the army back to Winter City. We cannot allow Knight Nelson to lead the Golden Lion Legion into the abyss for his own sake. "

Only then did Vera silently nodded, but she couldn't bear it: "What about Earl Uman? Since he has surrendered to the dark, there is no need to kill him, right?"

Ke Lin had to speak again: "Do you remember when I ran away from home alone, and then met you at Jinghu Camp?"

"Of course I do." Vera nodded, wondering why Colin mentioned these things at this time.

"Do you know why I ran away from home alone?"

"why?"

Colin's face was gloomy, and he said fiercely: "Because, I was assassinated in the bedroom of my castle! The assassination of the knight from the Angele family!"

"What?" Vera was taken aback and quickly asked, "Who is the envoy?"

"Earl Uman." Colin blurted out, "I learned later that my father died in the front line, so if I am also killed, then the title of the Angele family will fall to my sister Catelyn. , and Caitlin..."

"Married to Valla Uman!" Vera suddenly realized, and immediately said resentfully, "Count Uman dared to assassinate a nobleman! What a disgrace to a knight! It should be killed!"

"It really should be killed!" Colin then resumed his smile, "So, we must not let the plot of Earl Uman and Knight Nelson succeed, even if we take the most extreme measures!"

"Yeah." Vera nodded heavily, and no longer felt any psychological burden to kill an allied army.

When Master Dawn saw that the young couple finally reached an agreement, he breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly:

"Lord Viscount, it is not easy to seize the command of the Golden Lions from Knight Nelson. We also need to take a long-term plan."

Colin smiled confidently and said:

"You don't have to worry about it, I already have a solution."
