[The lord enjoys the right to receive support from his subjects, but at the same time, he must also bear the obligation to protect his subjects from all evil persons. 】

  In this crisis-ridden world, although humans occupy the most fertile land in the center of the continent, they are also under the eager gaze of the surrounding alien races.

  Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the Glorious Empire, a [Law of Lords] was established to clarify the rights and obligations of the Lords.

  According to this law, nobles who lose their territory will be deprived of their titles.

  Carter Knight was a victim of this law.

  Their family’s title was deprived of them because their territory was invaded by trolls.

  As a result, Carter became a wandering knight.

  Without the support of his territory, the knight’s life was very miserable, and he could hardly afford the money to maintain his armor and weapons.

  Fortunately, Baron Angele took him in.

  Carter also dedicated his loyalty to the Angelet family.

  But obviously, this loyalty has not stood the test.

  Because just now, Knight Carter inserted the dagger into the chest of Baron Angelet’s son with his own hands.

  I inserted it twice.

  Carter looked at Colin’s body; guilt flashed in his eyes, but he soon became determined again.

  Thinking of that man’s promise to him, Carter felt that his dream of reviving his family was just around the corner.

  However, just when Carter stood up from the bed and was about to leave quietly, his steps suddenly stopped.

  Turning around suddenly, Carter only saw a cold light coming towards him!

  ”Chi!”

  A sharp pain came from Carter’s chest, causing him to scream in a low voice.

  But the physical pain could not cover up the psychological fear at all—Colin, who was supposed to be dead, was actually alive again!

  Is he the devil?

  In anger and fear, Carter subconsciously picked up the dagger in his hand and stabbed it forward.

  ”Ah!”

  There was a muffled groan from the other side, followed by Colin’s teeth-gnashing laughter: “Does it hurt? You bastard, you stabbed me twice! Oh, no, it was three times!”

  ”You…you… …” Carter felt that all the strength in his body was quickly withdrawn, and his consciousness began to blur.

  ”Say! Who sent you here?”

  But before Colin could ask anything, Carter’s body gradually went limp, and blood flowed uncontrollably from his mouth.

  Colin got closer and only heard the dying voice of the other party: “Weird…monster…”

  He was dead now?

  It’s too careless!

  Colin looked at Carter, who had completely lost his voice, and suddenly felt regretful—he should have avoided the opponent’s vital points.

  Well now, the only clue is broken again.

  Looking at the bloody corpse in front of him, Colin took a few breaths but didn’t panic much.

  In the first place, it was considered self-defense, and there was no psychological burden on him.

  Secondly, this is actually not the first time he has killed someone.

  Of course, the “him” here refers to the former owner of the body that Colin now occupies.

  In his previous life, Colin was a law-abiding citizen. He never got into many fights, let alone killed people. However, the owner of this body had been on the battlefield, and there were many scenes in his memory that were a hundred times more bloody and terrifying than anything he saw before him.

  Therefore, after the memory is fused, what is happening in front of Colin can only be regarded as a small scene.

  Poof, the candle on the desk was lit.

  Colin rolled out the parchment again and recorded:

  [Attacks targeting the heart and throat are no longer fatal. ]

  Thinking that vampires in the legend seemed to be afraid of silver weapons, he added:

  [Only ordinary weapons and silver weapons are to be tested…]

  After writing this, Colin felt a little worried. How do I test this?

  You can’t stab yourself with a silver weapon, right?

  What if he was really stabbed to death?

  However, Colin soon came to his senses – who in their right mind would use a metal like silver to make weapons?

  Therefore, unless he deliberately exposes his weakness, no one will specially make silver weapons to deal with him.

  So, he stopped worrying about this.

  Putting down his quill, Colin picked up the wine glass on the table and came back to Knight Carter’s body.

  ”Poof!”

  The dagger on the corpse’s chest was pulled out, and blood gurgled out.

  Colin looked calm and placed the wine glass under the wound.

  The flickering candlelight reflected Colin’s pale face, coupled with the smell of blood permeating the air, making it look particularly strange and terrifying in the dim night.

  ”Gulu, Gulu…”

  Take a gentle taste.

  Very sweet.

  Colin smacked his lips, feeling a little unfinished.

  Then he closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body – it seemed to be no different from the reaction after drinking deer blood.

  In addition to the slight signs of fever in the body.

  Colin thought this was the sequelae of the violent fight just now, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.

  Let’s drink animal blood from now on.

  Colin still has some psychological barriers to drinking human blood. Since there are no additional benefits, there is no need for him to make himself uncomfortable.

  Putting down the blood-stained wine glass, Colin looked at the corpse in front of him and began to worry.

  Although he has solved the murderer who tried to assassinate him, Colin also knows that Knight Carter is just a pawn and that there must be someone else who really wants his life.

  The reason is simple: if Carter kills him, he will get nothing except being hunted by the Angelet family to the ends of the earth.

  Moreover, there is no personal enmity between him and Carter.

  Therefore, someone must have paid a large price to bribe Carter to assassinate him.

  So who could this person be?

  Colin searched his memory, but could not locate any suspicious person.

  No way; there are too few clues.

  This feeling that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light makes Colin particularly uncomfortable.

  Moreover, since this person can bribe Carter, he may also be able to bribe others.

  Is Eamonn, the steward, involved in this?

  And who else?

  Thinking of this, Colin suddenly felt that Gray Castle was very dangerous now.

  Especially when Baron Angele is away at war.

  He didn’t want to deal with the assassinations one after another. After all, he couldn’t be sure whether he was really unkillable.

  Although his current body does not seem to have any fatal injuries, if someone cuts off his head, he doubts whether he can grow another head…

  Moreover, even if he is really immortal, if this secret were leaked, his situation would probably be very unpleasant.

  So, looking at the row of flickering candles on the desk, Colin gradually made up his mind…

  The two or three hours before sunrise are the times when people sleep most peacefully.

  Even the guards on duty began to doze off uncontrollably.

  However, they were soon awakened by a scream: “It’s on fire! It’s on fire!”

  The Graycastle in the darkness instantly became lively, and the hurried servants and guards rushed to Colin’s bedroom with buckets, trying to put out the raging fire. of fire.

  At the same time, Colin himself quietly jumped from the window on the other side of Gray Castle, rolled on the spot, and then hurried away under the cover of night.

  Suddenly, Colin stopped and held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand.

  Amidst a rustling sound, a kitten emerged from the bushes in front of Colin.

  ”Meow——” The kitten seemed to recognize the stupid human being whom it had just defeated during the day and suddenly became arrogant.

  Colin breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the kitten by the back of the neck, and lifted it in front of him. He smiled and said, “Oh, since you have discovered it, then you can follow me.”

  ”Meow——”

  ”Well, just right. You can be used as a mobile blood bag.”

  ”Meow?”
