The Original Vampire

In the quiet room, Vera was lying on her back on the bed.

Her face was as white as paper, her breath was weak, but there was an indescribable strength in her soft expression.

Beside the bed, Turnance folded his hands on his chest, exuding a holy white light, and was performing a healing technique.

The effect of the healing technique performed by the cardinal himself is of course needless to say, but Vera showed no sign of waking up at all.

As time passed, cold sweat gradually oozes out of Turnance's forehead, and the light from the holy mark on his chest also flickered, and it seemed that there was a sign of exhaustion.

But he still dared not stop.

Because Colin and Marquis Garcia were staring at him from left to right, it is conceivable that if Vera could not be cured, Turnance felt that his life might really be in worry.

Needless to say, Ke Lin didn't hide the killing intent in this guy's eyes at all.

And Marquis Garcia is also killing intent, which makes Turnance very incomprehensible.

The reason why he dared to go to Marquis Garcia just now was because he felt that this person was someone who could cooperate with him.

After all, no matter how close he is to his niece Vera, in the face of the temptation of the Duke of the North, Turnance believes that Marquis Garcia can make the "right" choice.

But the truth was like a slap in the face.

Marquis Garcia did not show any coveted heart for the Duke of the North at all, and even when he saw Vera lying on the bed without knowing her life or death, the killing intent in his eyes was not at all necessary for Colin Shao.

Turnance felt very incomprehensible.

What made him even more incomprehensible was why Vera didn't kill Colin?

Has the Lord of Radiance really abandoned his followers?

Tournance felt that his beliefs were crumbling little by little...

Finally, Turnance exhausted the last trace of holy power under the murderous gaze of Colin and Marquis Garcia.

I saw him collapsed in front of the bed, shaking his head helplessly:

"Sorry, the situation of the Duke...I...I really can't do anything..."

"What is powerlessness?" Marquis Garcia grabbed Tournance by the collar and growled, "Why did she become like this?"

Up to now, Turnance also understands that the Pope's plan has completely failed, so he can only honestly confess:

"The duke was actually baptized by the Pope's blessing. This blessing can greatly improve the recipient's affinity for the Holy Light, which is beneficial to the practice of the knighthood.

But at the same time, it actually has a hidden function.

It is to be able to control the mind of the subject through certain stimulation methods, so that she can obey in a short period of time...

Three days ago, when I saw the duke in the prayer hall of the central church of Winter City, I had the hidden effect of triggering the blessing, and wanted the duke to assassinate Count Angele...

But...but, I don't know why it's like this? "

Hearing this, Colin added coldly: "Vera did try to assassinate me just now, but at the last moment, she stopped, and it could be seen that she was in extreme struggle and seemed to be fighting The magic that controls her mind."

With an unbelievable look on his face, Turnance shook his head and said, "Impossible, no one has ever been able to fight against divine magic! That is the brilliance of the Supreme Lord, and no one can resist it!"

Colin immediately sneered and sneered: "With all those dirty things you did, you still have the face to mention the glory of my Lord? Stop talking nonsense, how can this magic be lifted? Don't say you can't!"

"I really can't lift it." Turnance saw Colin's two eyes, and immediately added, "Only the Pope has the ability to lift this magic. However, I can tell you that even if the Pope is really willing I'm afraid it won't help the duke to lift the magic art..."

"Why?" Marquis Garcia asked eagerly. Valley

"This magical technique involves the field of human will, which is a restricted area for mortals, and even the Pope can only temporarily control the subject.

And the situation of the Duke... has never happened in history.

But I guess that the Duke must have forcibly closed his consciousness in order to resist the control of the divine art... In this case, even if the divine art is lifted, the Duke cannot be awakened, and the healing art is useless..."

"Then how can Vera wake up?"

"This..." Tournance said with cold sweat on his forehead, "I'm afraid... it depends on the Duke himself..."

"Look at herself?" Colin said through gritted teeth. "Does that mean she may never wake up again?"

Turnance lowered his head, not daring to face Colin's murderous gaze, and whispered:

"There is... there is a possibility..."

"So, you have no way to wake Vera, and you don't know when she will wake up?" Marquis Garcia's tone suddenly became very calm, so calm that it was palpitating, "Then what's the use of you?"

Tournance immediately realized something, grabbed Marquis Garcia's arm and prayed:

"Marquis Garcia, don't be impulsive! At this critical moment, the empire cannot withstand a civil strife..."

The cardinal's words stopped abruptly.

Because, a bloody mouth appeared in his throat.

Turnance tried in vain to cover it with his hands, but blood with bubbles still gurgled from between his fingers.

"Save...ho...save me...hoho..."

Colin watched this scene coldly, without any intention to stop or save the cardinal.

When Tournance was completely silent, Marquis Garcia looked at Colin calmly and asked:

"I'm going to declare war on the church. If you want to withdraw, it's still too late to draw a line with the Saint Hilde family."

Colin smiled lightly, and without hesitation he drew his sword and cut off Turnance's head, saying:

"Lord Marquis, I actually wanted to do this for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be one step faster than me."

Marquis Garcia stared into Colin's eyes, before nodding heavily for a while, then said solemnly:

"Okay! I didn't see you wrong!"

After he finished speaking, he motioned for Colin to follow him and strode out.

Because Colin didn't hide the news of Vera's coma, there were already a lot of people waiting anxiously outside the door.

When the heavy wooden door was pushed open, before the words of these people's questions could be spoken, they were shocked to find that Marquis Garcia came out covered in blood.

And behind him, Count Angele was holding a head in his hand——

The head of Cardinal Tournance of the Church of the Radiance!

Marquis Garcia's cold eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone, and then said aloud:

"Cardinal Tournance conspired against the Duke of St. Hilde, causing her to fall into a coma, her life and death are unknown!

Therefore, I, Garcia St. Hilde, together with Count Angele, Keeper of the North, call upon all vassals of the House of St. Hilde, all lords of the North, all loyal knights, to fulfill the promises you have made The oath, to the main messenger of this despicable plot—

Pope Gregory, declare war! "
