The Original Vampire

After entering the Lion's Roar Fort, the butler Delinden personally took Colin and his party to a courtyard.

"Lord Viscount, please rest for a while, I will send someone to inform you when the dinner starts."

"it is good."

Since Joyce wasn't in a hurry to see Colin, Colin couldn't show it either.

However, considering that the army of dwarves was about to catch up, Colin's side couldn't wait even more.

But Colin also understood that the more he couldn't wait, the more he had to act impatiently or impatiently, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage in the next negotiation.

When he had nothing to do, Colin simply took off his armor, took a bath, and changed into an aristocratic dress.

In the evening, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, and darkness enveloped the earth earlier than usual.

Lightning flashes across the sky from time to time like silver snakes dancing wildly, and bursts of thunder blast over Winter City, causing the eardrums to ache.

"Dong dong dong."

Under the cover of the roaring thunder, Colin almost didn't hear the knock on the door.

Opening the door, I saw a young maid standing outside, respectfully inviting Colin to the banquet.

Colin nodded, put on the raincoat prepared by the maid together with Bachelor Dawn, and plunged into the storm.

The torrential rain made the guests at the banquet a little embarrassed, but the banquet hall in the main castle was still very lively, with bursts of laughter and laughter spread far and wide, even the thunder could not cover up.

He took off the dripping raincoat and handed it to the attendant on the side. Colin straightened his clothes and strode onto the heavy wool carpet in the banquet hall. The soft and comfortable touch made Colin feel like he was walking on the clouds.

In the banquet hall, seven crystal chandeliers hang on the ceiling, surrounding a large crystal chandelier with a diameter of three meters in the center.

On the dark red carpet, there is only a long table in the middle. The table is covered with white velvet, and there are all kinds of exquisite food and precious red wine. There are many pure gold knives and forks next to it. and ceramic dishes.

Around the table were a group of well-dressed and elegant gentlemen and ladies. When Colin walked in, they all cast exploratory glances, as if they wanted to see what happened to Viscount Angele, who had recently gained fame in the north. What is it like.

Ke Lin didn't care about the curious eyes of everyone, Shi Shiran walked to the dining table,

A smiling maid thoughtfully handed over the tableware, and then softly asked Colin what he wanted.

Colin glanced around the table and didn't see deer blood wine - such a vulgar thing certainly wouldn't appear on a formal banquet table.

Disappointed, he picked up a few desserts at random.

The Master Kusius, who came over, filled himself with a full plate of food with great interest, causing the surrounding nobles to cast contemptuous glances from time to time.

Especially when they saw the mage robe on Kusius, the disgust was barely concealed.

However, Kusius seemed to have turned a blind eye to these glances, and still poured himself a large glass of champagne and began to eat and drink.

Colin didn't care about him, and stood in a deserted corner at will, eating dessert while listening to Bachelor Dawn introduce all kinds of characters in the hall.

There are basically members of the Saint Hilde family here, but they are all unimportant collaterals. Colin was absent-minded and didn't remember a few.

There were only two people, which made Colin's eyes stop for a moment.

One is Thomas Saint Hilde Knight, the commander of the Winter City defense army. This time the Uman family's army can enter the city smoothly, and this person's help must be indispensable.

There is another, Nina St. Hilde, the daughter of the St. Hilde family that Earl Morrison wants to marry.

This Vera's cousin has a pretty face and exudes a ladylike elegance and dignity all over her body. It is no wonder that Earl Morrison takes a fancy to her.

Looking at the smiling Nina, Colin suddenly recalled the strange scene he saw under the bell tower of Phoenix Butterfly Castle when he visited the Morrison family that night, and wondered to himself whether he should destroy this marriage.

Pushing such a flowery girl into the fire pit of the Morrison family, Colin always felt a little unbearable.

Moreover, preventing Nina from marrying into the Morrison family can also see what the Morrison family's reaction is.

If they are really in a hurry, it means that the blood pool under the clock tower may have an inevitable connection with the daughter of Saint Hilde who has been married over the years.

Just when Colin was calculating the Morrison family, Earl Uman walked in, followed by Valla.

However, Colin was surprised to find that Valla was wearing a Viscount dress!

It seems that after breaking with the Saint Theon family, Earl Uman has also determined to restore Valla's heir status and confirm his right of inheritance.

This banquet is also a good opportunity to formally introduce Valla to the nobles of the north.

As if sensing Colin's gaze, Valla glanced at Colin, and then immediately looked away.

"I didn't expect Valla to be the true son of Earl Uman." Bachelor Dawn seemed to see some clues, and his tone was quite emotional.

"Yeah, who would have thought of that." Colin said with a smile.

Just as Earl Uman introduced all the gentlemen and ladies to meet his real son, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

Colin was in doubt when he saw a tall woman walking in at the entrance of the hall.

Her chestnut-colored hair was as soft and bright as satin, draped over her thin and white shoulders, and her face was well-defined. Although she had no makeup, her perfect facial features and her milk-white skin made her look even more refined and refined.

It's just that she has a pair of peach blossom eyes, with a slight natural pink halo around her eyes and a slightly warped end of her eyes. Even if she is not smiling, she also has a charming and bright smile, her eyes are blurred and addictive.

Her whole body is shrouded in loose priest robes, and only when she is walking, will she occasionally reveal her exquisite body curves, towering chest, slender waist, round plump, and slender legs. Hidden and visible, it is thought provoking.

But her demeanor was extremely pious, and her whole body exuded a holy brilliance, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable temperament, just like an ascetic in the church.

The temptation of charming bones and the holiness of tranquility and water, two contradictory qualities appeared in this female pastor at the same time, and they mixed into a kind of soul-shattering charm, which made everyone present couldn't help but sway in the heart. waves.

"Who is she?" Colin swallowed quietly and asked Maester Dwayne.

"The new Archbishop of the North - Pastor Adjani." Bachelor Dawn's voice was a little hoarse, and he seemed to be shocked by Adjani's beauty.

"Such a young archbishop?" Colin looked at Maester Dawn in disbelief.

You must know that the position of Archbishop is in charge of the entire Northern Diocese, and this woman is only in her early twenties.

Although age and ability are not necessarily proportional, in a perfect system, it is too shocking to be able to occupy such a high position at such an age.

Bachelor Dawn nodded seriously, indicating that he was not mistaken: "It is said that this archbishop is twenty-four years old, but he is highly regarded by the Pope, and the speed of promotion is simply astounding.

During this period of time, the situation in the north was turbulent, and the personnel changes of the church in the north were equally drastic. Archbishop Adjani just took office at the beginning of this year. "

Colin's expression moved slightly, as if he understood something: "So, this woman should support Joyce?"

"should be."

While gossiping with Maester Dawn, Colin was stunned to discover that the Archbishop of Adjani was walking straight in his direction.

"Good evening, Viscount Angele!"

The beautiful priestess came to Colin, bowed down and smiled.

In an instant, it was like a peacock opening its screen and a short-lived flower in full bloom, and the entire banquet hall became brighter because of this.

The hearts of the men present were all racing, their mouths were dry, and they wished to replace Colin and stand in front of the archbishop.

But soon, Adjani withdrew her smile and returned to her original indifferent and alienated expression, like an angel who descended into the mortal world, looking down at her followers.

"Good evening, Archbishop Adjani!"

Colin greeted in a flat tone, but infinite vigilance rose in his heart.

This woman is as coquettish as a poppy flower, full of fatal temptations. If she is not careful, she may be pulled into the endless abyss at any time.

No wonder he became an archbishop at such a young age, it is indeed amazing!

"I heard that you are a kind lord who not only provided food for the slaves during the famine season, but also sent people to teach the slave children." Adjani's voice was clear and slightly lazy, as if it was a summer afternoon The girl who just woke up is coquettish to her lover.

Colin looked back, and sure enough, he found the figure of the emeritus bishop behind Adjani. These things were obviously told to Adjani by the former bishop of Ice Rock City and the current bishop of Winter City.

"Archbishop, you have won awards. These are just my responsibilities as the lord of Ice Rock City."

Just as Adjani was about to speak, she saw a small figure walk in again at the entrance of the hall.

But it was this small figure that caused all the nobles present to bow down and salute.

Obviously, this is the now nominal "owner" of Lion's Roar Castle - Joyce St. Hilde has arrived.

Colin also quickly put down the plate in his hand and bowed to the host of today's banquet.

At the same time, he glanced at the wall clock on the wall from the corner of his eyes-this little guy was actually late.

I don't know if it was intentional or...

"Viscount Angele!"

Just when Colin was secretly slandering, he heard Joyce calling his name.

"Master Joyce!" Colin hurried out of the queue, with some doubts in his heart.

Joyce raised his chin and said angrily, "You are too much!"

Collin's heart suddenly froze.

Um?

Is it so exciting to come up?
