The Original Vampire

  When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on Gray Castle, the fire in Colin’s bedroom had already been put out.

  Fortunately, most of the building materials in Graycastle are non-flammable rocks, otherwise, the fire might not have burned down only this one room.

  In a messy room, the housekeeper Aemon stood with his hands behind his hands, staring at the charred corpse in front of him in a daze.

  Dong Dong Dong…

  Amidst the heavy footsteps, a tall figure appeared in the room.

  ”Aemon, I have people seal the castle, and all entrances and exits of Graycastle Town have also been strengthened. Humph, I don’t believe we can let the murderer escape this time!”

  The person who came was three meters tall and extremely strong. Like a black bear.

  His whole body was wrapped in thick armor, but he did not wear a helmet, revealing a big round bald head. With a face full of flesh, a ferocious expression, and a huge battle ax with mottled blood in his hand, it was enough to destroy Graycastle. All the children in the town were frightened and cried.

  ”Thank you for your hard work, Knight Rego.” Aemon did not look back, his eyes were still staring at the charred corpse, but the focus was a little blurry, as if he was thinking about something.

  Seeing this, Rego thought that the old butler was sad about the young master’s death, so he sighed: “Hey, let’s arrange the young master’s body and bury it when the master comes back.”

  Eamonn did not respond.

  Rego touched his bald head, thinking that the old butler was blaming himself, so he took a few steps closer to Eamonn and whispered: “Eamonn, I didn’t see Knight Carter today. I suspect…”

  Hearing Carter’s words Name, Aemon’s distracted eyes condensed for a moment, and then he turned to the servants who were still cleaning up the mess in the house and ordered: “There is no need to clean up here. You can go down.” “

  Yes.”

  After the servants left one after another, Aemon raised his head slightly and looked at the tall Rego, and asked: “I remember, three years ago, you and Carter competed once in the knight championship held by Count Uman?”

  Rego was a little confused, he didn’t understand Aemon Why did he suddenly mention the previous Knight Championship, but still replied: “Was that three years ago? It seems so. Hehe, I beat him badly that time!”

  Eamonn smiled: “Yes, he You shot him off his horse, broke his arm, and lost two teeth.”

  ”Hehe.” Mentioning his glorious record, Rego felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time, he was also extremely confused, “Now Why are you talking about this?”

  Eamonn did not answer, but continued to ask: “Do you still remember whether the two teeth Carter lost were on the left or the right?”

  ”How would I know?” Rego was a little anxious, Eamonn The reaction made him very confused and dissatisfied.

  Aemon didn’t pay attention to Rego’s attitude, but showed a mysterious smile and pointed to the charred corpse on the ground: “If you can’t remember clearly, you can go and take a look for yourself now.”

  Rego frowned. He stared at Aemon for a long time with big copper-bell eyes. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be joking, he finally knelt down and reached out to open the corpse’s mouth.

  ”Crack!”

  Aemon’s mouth suddenly twitched as he watched the rough-handed Rego completely break off the corpse’s jaw.

  Rego was also startled, and then he hurriedly tried to put the fallen chin back on…

  ”Okay, stop doing it, take a closer look at his teeth.” Eamon looked at the clumsy Rego, and was really speechless.

  ”Oh, okay…hey! There are indeed two gaps on his lower left gum!” Rego turned back with gleaming eyes and asked eagerly, “Did Carter lose his left tooth?” Obviously,

  this reckless man He also realized something was wrong with the body.

  Unfortunately, Eamonn shook his head: “I don’t know which two teeth Carter lost back then.”

  Rego frowned and was about to speak when he heard Eamonn say slowly again: “But, I know Master Colin has never lost a tooth.”

  ”That’s right!” Rego stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly.

  But then, he seemed to realize that his voice was too loud, and quickly lowered his voice: “So, this body is not Master Colin at all, but that bastard Carter!” “

  No.” Eamonn smiled and shook his head. Shaking his head, “The young master has been killed by Carter. Now you must lead people to capture this evil betrayer.”

  ”What?” Rego’s eyes widened again, “Are you stupid?”

  Aemon sighed and patiently explained: “Think about it, why did the young master set this fire? And why did he leave without saying goodbye?”

  Rego touched his round bald head and seemed to understand: “You mean, the young master deliberately burned Is this corpse meant to make others think he is dead?”

  ”Yes.”

  ”Why did the young master do this?”

  ”Maybe he wants to see who is behind Carter? What is his purpose? Or maybe he wants to Hide yourself… In short, since the young master has his own plan, what we can do is to cooperate with him and continue this game.” “

  Okay, I understand.” Rego walked out with his head buried, “I’m here Just go and order the arrest of that bastard Carter.”

  Eamonn watched Rego’s tall back disappear outside the door, and silently added in his heart: “It may be that the young master no longer dares to trust us…”

  ”How could I not trust you?” Colin smiled and said to the old mercenary in front of him, “What I mean is that I will pay you half of the commission first, and wait for your help with the remaining half. I will introduce you to a caravan heading to Fallen Eagle City.”

  ”Then what if you refuse to pay the rest when I introduce you to the caravan?” The old mercenary was obviously not satisfied with this payment method of paying the deposit first and then the final payment.

  ”Do you think I’m in need of that little money?” Colin took out a gold coin and tossed it up and down in his hand.

  The old mercenary’s eyes widened instantly, and his eyes followed the gold coin up and down.

  There is no way, for people at the bottom of society like him, copper coins are the daily currency, silver coins are rare, and as for gold coins, they are only available to nobles and big businessmen.

  ”Then I want thirty copper coins!” The old mercenary realized that he was in front of a fat sheep and immediately began to increase the price.

  ”Twenty coins. If there are more, I will find someone else.”

  ”Deal!” The old mercenary happily caught the ten copper coins thrown by Colin and began to lead the way.

  After a while, the two came to the west area of ​​Graycastle Town and walked into an old tavern.

  ”The Bearded Tavern.”

  After entering, Colin discovered that the name of this pub was indeed worthy of its name. At first glance, almost all the people drinking inside were bearded.

  The old mercenary was obviously very familiar with this place. While greeting everyone, he led Colin inside.

  The two came to a long table in the corner of the tavern. The old mercenary hunched over and muttered for a moment in the ear of a bearded man sitting at the head table.

  The bearded man looked at Colin a few times in the direction of the old mercenary’s finger and then waved to Colin to come over.

  ”This is Lord Saru, the leader of the Fire Fox Mercenary Group. Lord Saru is a second-level warrior, and he is about to go to Falling Eagle City. You will definitely be safe with their team!” The old mercenary first told Ke Lin to introduce the bearded man.

  Then he turned to the bearded man, his attitude was obviously much more attentive: “Lord Saru, this is my nephew. Don’t think he is not strong, but his martial arts is quite good…” “

  He is your nephew?” Saru sneered. A sound interrupted the old mercenary’s words.

  ”Yes…yes!” The old mercenary choked slightly, with a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.

  Then he quickly explained: “Don’t look at him, he doesn’t look like me. The main reason is that this boy’s appearance is similar to that of my brother-in-law. Moreover, I have been running around outside for so many years, and this old face has long lost its appearance. You know, when I was young, I was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament…”

  Saru sneered and interrupted the old mercenary again: “Is your nephew a knight?”

  When he heard the word knight, the old mercenary seemed to suddenly be grabbed by the neck. The boastful words were immediately choked in the throat.

  Colin’s pupils shrank instantly.
