The Original Vampire

  ”Dong dong dong.”

  ”Come in.”

  Knight Raymond walked into the room and bowed and saluted: “Lord Viscount, Butler Eamonn, and Knight Rego have arrived at Ice Rock City successfully.” “

  Well, I understand. “Colin had just completed his first embrace of the Charles Knight, and his face was a little pale at this time.

  ”Let them settle down first, and then meet me in the study.”

  ”Yes!”

  After Raymond left, Colin looked at Charles who was not yet awake, and tried to order again: “Get up, Charles, get up!”

  However, , Ciel didn’t respond.

  Colin frowned, not sure whether the first embrace ceremony just now was considered a success.

  Moreover, he was shocked to find that his rank had actually been lowered!

  Colin, who was originally a second-level knight, actually dropped to the first level after this first embracing ceremony.

  I just don’t know if this downgrade is temporary or permanent.

  However, he was still somewhat mentally prepared for this.

  The complete first embrace ceremony will certainly not come without a price.

  Colin was very surprised to be able to create blood slaves at no cost before, if he hadn’t discovered that blood slaves could not continue to create the next generation of blood slaves.

  Colin estimated that he could even create a vampire version of Biohazard in this different world.

  Originally, he wanted to wait for Knight Charles to wake up and conduct further experiments, but considering that Butler Eamonn and Knight Rhaego were still waiting for him, he stopped delaying and got up and walked out of Charles’ room.

  ”When Knight Charles wakes up, ask him to come to the study to see me,” Colin ordered the maid guarding the door.

  ”Yes.”

  All the way to the study, Colin took a sip of water when he saw Raymond walking in, followed by the old butler of the Angele family, Eamonn, and the family knight, Rego Morben.

  ”Master!”

  ”Lord Viscount!”

  ”Haha, I finally expected you to come. Come, sit down, sit down! It’s been a hard journey; what do you want to drink?” “

  Just coffee.”

  Knight Rego touched it. Touching his bald head, he hesitated for a moment, then followed Eamonn and said, “Me too.”

  Colin glanced at Rego with a smile. The other person’s hesitation just now was obviously reflected in his eyes, so he looked towards him. The waiter at the door ordered:

  ”Go and prepare two cups of coffee and a cup of ale.”

  ”Yes!”

  Then, Colin turned back to look at Rego: “If you want to drink, just say so. We haven’t seen you for a while; why are you so polite to me?” Are you up?”

  ”Hey, thank you, Lord Viscount!” Rego grinned, his ugly face turning into a chrysanthemum.

  Rego is Raymond’s elder brother. These two brothers from the Morben family became wandering knights early due to the decline of their families. Later, they became loyal to Baron Angelet and have always had a good relationship with Colin.

  Especially Rego, this tall and strong man has an outstanding talent in martial arts. In the past, when Baron Angelet was not at home, he would always be Colin’s martial arts teacher.

  Therefore, when Colin saw this old acquaintance, although he was no longer the young man before, he still instinctively felt friendly.

  At this time, the three people in the study room, Aemon, Rego, and Raymond, can be said to be the core team of the Angelet family.

  As for the members of the Angelet family, they are not outstanding figures. Colin will only provide them with good food and drink, and give them some simple things to do, but he will not rely too much on them.

  Maybe when Charles Knight wakes up, he can join this inner circle.

  The waiter quickly brought coffee and ale. Colin exchanged a few words with everyone and then turned to the topic.

  ”Aemon, I need you to take over the daily affairs of the territory immediately. In addition, find a few candidates for clerks and tax officers. Make a list and give it to me. I will finalize and assign them to various towns.” “

  Yes. !”

  ”Although the family territory has expanded a lot this time, the family’s financial situation may go through a difficult period.

  Moreover, Ice Rock City has just been looted by trolls and needs to recuperate. I don’t want to raise taxes at this time.

  Therefore, except for daily necessary expenses, there must be no extravagance, and everything should be kept simple.”

  ”Yes, sir. You are really a wise and kind lord!” Butler Eamon said happily.

  But the old housekeeper thought for a while and asked: “But, sir, do you want the castle you live in to be renovated? After all, everything here is left by the Sudo family…” “

  No, I don’t care about this.” Colin waved his hand.

  Eamonn then suggested: “How about changing the color of the castle’s exterior walls? This would not cost much but would also give it a new look.”

  Colin thought about it and felt that this was a good idea.

  Changing the skin of the castle does not cost much, but it can let the residents know that there is a new owner there.

  ”Okay. Let’s change it to red. Is this kind of dyeing material easy to get?”

  Colin felt that, as a vampire, red should be considered his lucky color.

  ”Red…” The old butler thought for a moment and nodded. “Convenient. The coastal area of ​​the southern border of the empire produces a dye derived from coral, which can dye the outer walls of the castle red very well. The price is not expensive.”

  ”Very good, let’s do it!”

  ”Yes, sir.” The old butler nodded in agreement and then asked, “Does the castle need to be renamed?”

  ”Name?” Colin rubbed his chin.

  He suddenly realized that he had never noticed the name of the Sudo family’s castle.

  However, this is no longer important.

  ”Let’s call it the Red Castle.” Colin, the genius of naming, made the decision immediately.

  The corner of Aemon’s mouth twitched, and he was really speechless at this name.

  The original gray castle of the Angelet family was called Gray Castle, which already made the old housekeeper very resentful.

  Unexpectedly, there is another Red Castle now…

  Think about the names of other people’s castles: Frosty Moon Castle, White Dew Castle, Fontaine Castle, etc. This can reflect the self-cultivation that an elegant nobleman should have!

  ”Don’t you think about it any more?” Eamonn suggested carefully.

  ”Well? Doesn’t the name Red Castle sound good?” Colin blinked and looked at Brother Moben again.

  Knight Raymond nodded immediately. This knight always obeyed Colin.

  Knight Rego also nodded wildly: “I think this name is very good!”

  Aemon glanced at Rego and found that the expression on this fool’s face did not seem to be fake. It seemed that he really liked the name.

  For the sake of the family’s style, the Viscount must be kept as far away from these two unlearned guys as possible…

  the old housekeeper thought to himself.

  ”Okay, then it’s settled.” Colin immediately decided on the name of the castle.

  He really couldn’t think of any other better name.

  Aemon sighed secretly, and suddenly realized that there was still a long way to go to improve the style of the Angelet family.

  ”Oh, by the way, why not change the family crest as well?” Colin suddenly suggested again.

  Colin didn’t really like the Angele family’s original emblem of a roaring white bear, and he had some ideas for a new emblem.

  Butler Eamonn reminded: “Master, if you want to change the family crest, you need the approval of the Imperial Senate.” “

  Okay, let’s go through the process,” Colin replied casually.

  ”But you have to go through the process of the Senate, ahem, sir, you know…”

  Colin was stunned, and then he realized what Eamonn meant.

  Actually want to pay bribes!

  Looking through the memories of his predecessor, Colin discovered that the Senate of this empire was really like this.

  Without money, basically, nothing can be done!

  Especially for a small family like the Angelet family, if they don’t bleed once, the elders in the Senate probably won’t even look at them.

  ”Forget it, let’s talk about it later!”

  Colin would not give money away now. His money now can be of great use.

  army!

  The top priority is to raise money to build an army first!
