The Original Vampire

Under the reflection of the setting sun, the majestic Lion Roar Fort is even more desolate.

On an open-air balcony in the main castle, Colin was standing side by side with Vera, admiring the beautiful sunset.

Vera is wearing a palace-style tube top and corset dress today, revealing round shoulders and a slender neck, her long golden hair is casually held, and her white, tender and clean skin makes people unable to resist the urge to kiss.

The afterglow of the setting sun outlines her perfect profile, which makes Colin a little ecstatic.

"What are you looking at?" Vera turned her head and smiled at her husband.

"I'm looking at the future Duke of the North!" Colin teased with a smile.

Vera rolled her eyes with a cute look, and her tone was a little worried: "There is still a rebellion in the north! What's more, I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor and the Senate will agree to my succession to the dukeship."

Colin was about to release his wife when he heard footsteps from behind.

Immediately, Basti, the new housekeeper of the Saint Hilde family, came to the balcony and bowed to report:

"Miss, Viscount Angele, the dwarf messenger has been brought."

Vera turned around slowly, nodded and said, "Okay. Please come over."

Colin also turned around, just in time to see a dwarf with a familiar face walking in.

"Dear Miss Vera, Viscount Angele, Anka, son of the Marquis of Maynum, I hereby extend my sincerest greetings to you!"

When Colin heard the other party's name and self-introduction, he remembered that he had seen this Earl of Anka in Ice Rock City.

When he had just returned from the Troll Empire, he had met the dwarf Earl at the triumphal banquet, and the other party also proposed to replace the Angele family's territory with the Maynum family's part of the Scarlet Flame Territory.

"Count Anka, please take a seat." Vera returned a salute, and then invited the other party to sit down at the small round table on the side of the balcony.

The waitress brought coffee and dessert at the right time.

Colin also sat down at the table, took a sip of coffee, and asked with a smile, "Count Anka, is it because of the replacement of territory that you are here this time?"

Count Anka sighed slightly,

Then he shook his head slightly embarrassedly and said, "No. Besides, the matter of replacing the territory is about your wishes and my wishes. If you are not willing, our Maynum family will of course not force it."

Colin raised his brows, a little surprised at Count Anka's weak attitude.

When he was in Ice Rock City, the dwarf earl was quite arrogant. He said that he would never let the Angele family suffer, and then that the army of the Maynum family was about to arrive in the north, so he had to force Colin's hand. Let him sign it.

There must be a reason for the change in Count Anka's attitude now. Could it be that the dwarves felt that they could not conquer Winter City. Is this preparation for peace talks?

"Then why did you come to Winter City this time?"

Count Anka glanced at Vera and saw that she had been drinking coffee silently and sipping dessert, and seemed to have no interest in this conversation.

Such an attitude made Count Anka immediately understand that Viscount Angele was the real owner of the current Winter City.

"Miss Vera, Viscount Angele, this time I am here to reach a peace agreement with you, and to bring an end to this mess in the north."

"Peace agreement?" Colin raised his brows and gave Count Anka a serious look.

The dwarves really wanted to have peace talks.

Colin began to ponder in his heart.

In fact, at this time, Colin was oscillating between war and peace.

The plan given by the Master Dawn was indeed an old-fashioned and prudent plan, but after the running river severely weakened the Dawson family, he harvested the army of the Uman family in Winter City. With the confidence to fight against the dwarf army.

Therefore, he wrote to Ice Rock City and asked the main force of the Black Cavalry Army and the Silver Moon Guard to come here.

But unexpectedly, just when he was gradually inclined to fight the dwarves to the death, the dwarves suddenly cowarded.

This made Colin feel a sense of suffocation with a punch in the air.

"Tell me about your conditions." Colin decided to look at the situation first.

Earl Anka was refreshed, and immediately said: "Your Excellency Viscount, the Maynum family has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Saint Hilde family, and is very willing to see a peaceful and stable north!

Therefore, as long as you agree to our request for independent statehood, the dwarf army outside the city will be withdrawn immediately!

The Saint Hilde family will also receive eternal friendship and gratitude from the dwarves! "

Colin rubbed his chin, of course he wouldn't be surprised by this condition. Isn't this group of dwarves fighting with Mr. Hoo for so long.

However, why did they voluntarily give up the Saint Theon family at this moment, and instead began to seek cooperation with the Saint Hilde family?

Colin immediately realized that something must have happened to the opposing camp.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the dwarves to just besiege the city, without even a tentative attack, and they plan to negotiate a peace.

"You want to establish an independent country in the north?"

"Yes."

"What about the territory?"

Count Anka was already prepared. Hearing this, he immediately took out a map from his arms, spread it on the table, and introduced:

"Miss Vera, Viscount Angele, please see, this is the area of ​​the dwarf kingdom we planned.

It includes the current Dawson family territory, as well as the territories of the Lombard family, the Billy family...

Please rest assured, except for the Dawson family, the rest of the northern lords agreed to exchange their territories with the Maynum family..."

"Wait!" Colin interrupted Earl Anka immediately and asked, "Agree? Who agreed that they exchanged territory with the Maynum family?"

Count Anka jumped in his heart and said carefully: "Viscount Angele, these lords have agreed, and we have also obtained the permission of Emperor Reinhardt."

Ke Lin was unmoved, and said coldly: "What about the Saint Hilde family? Have you forgotten who is the master of the North?"

Earl Anka said with an apologetic smile: "That's why I came to Winter City to get the approval of the Saint Hilde family."

When Vera heard this, she didn't look up, as if she had no interest in Count Anka's proposal.

Colin put the coffee cup heavily on the table, and said in a bad tone: "Count Anka, your Maynum family is going to dig up such a large territory to establish an independent country as soon as you come to the north, I am afraid you have never taken the Saint Hilde family. Keep an eye on it."

The corner of Count Anka's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was holding back the anger in his heart, but he still forced a smile and said:

"How could it be! The Maynum family has always respected the Saint Hilde family, and this time the establishment of the country was also approved by Emperor Reinhardt. Moreover, after the founding of the country, the dwarf kingdom will also become the eternal partner of the Saint Hilde family! "

"Partner?" Colin sneered, "But the Saint Hilde family doesn't need a partner like you. If it's a vassal, it can be considered. Otherwise, your Maynum family swears allegiance to the Saint Hilde family. , the Northern Territory can accept you to settle here.”

Count Anka's face also darkened, and he seemed to have lost patience with Colin, so he turned to Vera and asked directly:

"Miss Vera, is that what you mean too?"

Vera then raised her head, looked at Count Anka calmly, and nodded seriously: "This is what I mean, and it is also the will of the Saint Hilde family!"

Count Anka was finally provoked, and immediately stood up and said loudly:

"I came with peaceful goodwill, but I didn't expect to receive a strong hostility!

Miss Vera, Viscount Angele, I already understand what you mean, and I will definitely tell my father and let him make the decision.

Thank you for your hospitality and farewell! "

After speaking, Count Anka gave a perfunctory salute, and then left with a big stride.

Looking at the back of the other party, Colin frowned and said to Vera beside him:

"I think something might have happened to the dwarves, otherwise they wouldn't have come to negotiate with us so early, and their attitude was very low when they came up. I deliberately provoked him a few times before finally getting angry with him."

Vera chuckled, patted Colin's arm, and said with a smile, "I thought it was strange just now. Is this a dwarf known for his violent temper? He has endured you for so long.

It seems that the other party is really eager to talk to us. "

Colin stretched his waist and said leisurely: "What the enemy wants to do, we can't let them succeed easily! So, don't worry, let's talk slowly.

If they really want to make peace, they will come again. "

Vera's eyes flashed, and she thought for a while and said, "I think the accident on the dwarf's side may be related to the arcane wave that I noticed in the morning."

"Oh?" Colin's heart moved. "Then do you understand what happened outside the city that morning?"

"It's too far apart, and I don't know what it is." Vera shook her head, but then she suggested, "Maybe you can ask the teacher."

"Mage Kusius?" Colin thought for a while, then nodded.

"Okay, I'll go see if he knows."
