TOV1
The spring in the northern border of the Glorious Empire always comes very late.
It was not until the beginning of April that the blizzard that had been raging for half a year finally unwillingly receded, and the warm sun once again descended on the northern border, bringing vitality to all things
But such bright sunshine does not seem to be liked by everyone.
For example, the man who just walked out of Greycastle.
He was wearing a leather tricorne hat, with the brim of the hat pulled very low, completely covering his eyes, but he still seemed to feel the harshness of the sun and raised his hand to lower the brim a bit.
This man looks seventeen or eighteen years old. He is tall and handsome. He wears a black shirt with red stripes. The crimson cross-patterned knight boots are wrapped around the knees, making him a little fluffy black pants. It bulged up and looked extravagant against an almost knee-length burgundy coat.
It's just that his face was exceptionally pale as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
"Master Colin!"
"Master Colin!"
...
Along the way, the servants in Greycastle greeted the man.
However, the young master Colin seemed to be worried, and he responded somewhat perfunctorily to the servants' greetings.
After a while, he finally stopped in front of a cabin as if he was hesitant to go in.
"Meow~~"
At the corner of the wall, a kitten wailed dissatisfied. Seeming to blame the man for blocking his sunlight.
Colin Angele recovered from his thoughts looking at the kitten at his feet, his frowning brows relaxed a little, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
He knelt, reached out, and hugged the kitten.
"Meow!" The unbearably humiliated kitten opened its teeth and danced for a while, but couldn't break free of Colin's claws at all, so he resigned and fell silent, just trying to stare at the stupid human in front of him with his wide-open eyes.
Colin's fingers gently rubbed the kitten's slender neck, as if hesitating.
"Bah—" Seeing the human being in front of him slowly revealing sharp tiger teeth, the kitten grinned at him unwillingly.
One person and one cat-faced each other for a while and Colin suddenly let out a laugh and put the kitten back on the ground.
"Meow! Meow! Meow~" It seemed that he had successfully defeated the stupid human in the confrontation just now, and the kitten cried out proudly.
Then it profusely lay down, turned over, exposed its belly, and signaled "the defeated general" to come and serve the master.
It's a pity that stupid human didn't reason with it, but got up and walked into the hut.
The busy maids in the house were a little surprised when they saw Colin. They stopped their work and asked carefully:
"Master Colin, why are you here? It's not time for dinner. If you are hungry, we can prepare afternoon tea for you."
"No, I'm just wandering r around." Colin glanced around in the kitchen and asked when he saw the reindeer with his limbs tied up in the corner, "Today's dinner is venison?"
"Yes, master. Carrot stew with venison, vegetable soup, butter bread, and wine."
Colin touched his chapped lips: "I don't need wine anymore. Give me a glass of deer blood."
"Okay." The maids were a little surprised but nodded in response.
In their impression, among the owners of this Greycastle, only the Baron likes to drink deer blood, and Master Colin's taste has always been very light.
After Colin finished his request, he turned and left, but when he walked to the door, he seemed to think of something, so he turned around and said:
"Add another garlic, raw."
"Okay, master." The maids responded quickly.
At the same time, I was slanderous, Master Colin's taste is getting heavier...
As night fell, the dining room on the top floor of Greycastle was illuminated by a row of candles and flames in the fireplace. The decoration in the hall was quite luxurious, but it also had a rough atmosphere.
A kite shield with the head of a roaring bear is hung above the fireplace. Surrounded by paintings of different styles, and animal head specimens used to show off the lord's strength.
"Master, the wine cellar just bought a few barrels of white wine from Winster Estate a few days ago. Would you like to try it?"
After the maids set up the dining table, Yimen, the housekeeper stood behind Colin with his hands tied and whispered:
"The rainy season in Winster last year was short and the sun was full. The quality of this batch of wine should be very good, and it matches tonight's venison."
After learning of Master Colin's abnormal behavior in the kitchen, Yimen was really worried.
The rude Baron Angele was hopeless in Yimen's heart, but for Master Colin, this butler who wanted to improve the Angele family's taste had great hopes.
It was unexpected that today Master Colin had prepared deer blood and garlic in the kitchen!
Yimen felt that he had to do something.
The Angele family must be elegant!
"Okay." Colin nodded in response after being moved by the butler's words.
With a relieved smile, Yimen quickly poured Colin a glass of white wine by himself.
"Do you need anything else?"
Colin waved his hand: "No, go ahead."
"Ok."
As the steward's footsteps disappeared outside the door, only Colin was left in the empty dining room.
His father, Baron Angele, was fighting abroad, his mother had been dead for many years, and his sister was already married. Therefore, only Colin sat on the empty and long table.
However, he didn't seem to feel lonely at all.
After quickly eating the food in front of him, Colin was stunned while sipping white wine. He looked at the only remaining deer blood and garlic.
After drinking a glass of wine, he finally picked up the glass of deer blood, frowned slightly, and then brought it to his mouth.
There was no fishy smell as expected, and there was no nausea. Colin drank it all in one fell swoop.
A bit sweet.
Colin licked the corner of his lips, wondering whether he should be happy or sad.
"Is it really a vampire?" Colin whispered.
Afterward, he put down the cup, took out a roll of parchment from his arms, and spread it on the table, recording in words that did not belong to this world:
[Ordinary food cannot produce any taste, nor can it cause a feeling of fullness. ]
[Drinking deer blood can bring significant satisfaction and restore physical strength. ]
[Other blood, to be tested...]
Putting down the quill, Colin sighed.
What he hopes most now is to have a "Novice Crossing Guide", "Vampire Survival Manual" and other things for him to refer to, instead of guessing and trying by himself.
Even if there were none of these, at least he should cross into the existing species in this world, so that Colin knew exactly what he was, what upgrade route he had, and then go to visit a teacher.
But unfortunately, there is no record of vampires in this different world similar to the Western Middle Ages.
This world has elves, orcs, trolls, nagas...there are dragons that once ruled the world but are now extinct.
But there are no vampires.
Colin felt that he might become the first vampire in this world.
This makes him a little worried.
Because in his original world, the vampire is basically a creature that only exists in fantasy.
How powerful they are and what weaknesses they have are all imagined.
And the settings in different works are not the same.
Therefore, to fully understand his new body and new role, Colin can only experiment with himself now.
So far, he found that he was really like the legendary vampire.
Photophobia, bloodthirsty, immortality...
Yes, not to die.
Because, when he just came to this world this morning, he found out.
A dagger was stuck in his chest.
