TOV2
In the dim and empty dining room, Colin carefully unbuttoned his shirt and examined the wound on his chest by candlelight.
The wound has not yet healed, and no treatment has been done.
But there was no trace of blood flowing out.
Because he can now control the blood in his body.
Perhaps this is also one of the natural abilities of vampires.
Colin pressed both sides of the wound and gently pulled it to both sides.
"Hiss—" A tearing pain made him take a breath.
However, Colin was somewhat happy.
At least it shows that his nervous system is still functioning well.
This made Colin feel that he was not very different from normal people.
The wound was opened into a small hole, through the hole, Colin could clearly see his heart.
It has stopped jumping.
Well, this is a little bit different from normal people.
Colin was a little sad.
"Hey--"
With a sigh, Colin let go of his hands, allowing the wound to heal slowly under the pull of the muscles.
Anyway, it won't bleed, so there is no need to bandage.
Just need to observe how long it will heal, if it will heal.
To be honest, when Colin woke up this morning, he was panicked when he found the dagger stuck in his chest.
At that time, he felt that he might be considered the most failed traverser in history, he died when he first arrived.
But then he found out that he couldn't die...
My heart was pierced, and I still couldn't die.
As for who actually stabbed his heart, Colin has no clue at present.
During this journey, Colin successfully inherited the memory of his predecessor.
From these memories, he also didn't find out who was going to kill him.
However, Colin already had some ideas on how to lead the killer hidden in the dark.
But he is not in a hurry.
Now, he is more interested in the new body that he inherited, which is suspected of being a vampire.
Buttoning his shirt again, Colin turned his gaze to the last food on the long table -garlic.
It is said that vampires are afraid of garlic.
In the previous life, Colin didn't know much about vampires in the novels and movies, and he didn't know what setting the vampires in this world followed.
There is no way, but I can only experiment slowly.
Colin cut a piece of garlic the size of an ant with a dining knife, and then carefully put it in his mouth.
"Vomit!!!"
Colin vomited all over the floor very simply.
It seems that vampires in this world are also afraid of garlic.
"Master Colin, are you okay?" The maid who was guarding the door heard the movement and hurried in to check.
"I have nothing to do... vomit!"
"Master, I'm afraid you are sick. I'll go to pastor..."
"No!" Hearing the word pastor, Colin almost jumped up in shock, and hurriedly stopped her, "No need...I am fine..."
"Really? But... but your face is really pale today, and you are still vomiting..."
"I said, no need!" Colin rubbed his stomach and suppressed the vomiting desire, while staring at the maid near the door with vicious eyes.
Seemingly startled by Colin's stern eyes, the maid didn't dare to insist anymore, so she had to leave a word "Then pay attention to your body" and left the room.
"Huh" Colin breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the back of the chair, breathing continuously.
The vampire seeks medical treatment from the priest?
Get sick!
Although priests in this world may not necessarily restrain vampires, Colin did not dare to experiment with his own life.
At least not now.
Perhaps in the future, after he is fully prepared, he will try to test the church in this world.
But by no means now.
After a long while, Colin finally calmed down.
He picked up the quill and continued to write on the roll of parchment:
[Dislike garlic, ingestion can cause vomiting. ]
Feeling carefully the changes in his body, Colin added on the paper:
[But it's not fatal. ]
Staring at the squares on the parchment, Colin frowned.
Wrong.
Colin looked at the garlic in front of him, and suddenly realized that what he had just eaten was only a small piece...
Measurement issues.
A small amount of ingestion may not be fatal, but if you eat too much...
Colin looked at the whole garlic in front of him, his face turned green.
He didn't want to try again.
Forget it, just stay away from garlic in the future.
After struggling for a while, Colin decided to end this dangerous experiment.
Rolling the parchment into his arms, Colin got up and left the dining room.
The maid standing outside saw Colin and then hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Clean up." Colin glanced down at this maid, who was afraid to look at him. "Don't tell anyone about this."
"Yes, master!"
Across the dimly lit corridor, Colin returned to his bedroom.
It was early, and Colin sat down at the desk.
There is a book spread out on the desk "The Memorabilia of the Glorious Empire".
Colin read this book when he was child, but his memory is not clear.
Coming now, in order to better understand the world and find out the clues that vampires may have existed, Colin decided to study it more carefully.
However, this is futile after all.
There is no record of vampires in the book.
Fortunately, Colin didn't get nothing, but he reviewed the history of this human empire.
More than 1,500 years ago, Garner Lorenzo, the Legendary Paladin who served the Lord of Radiance, completed the unification of the human race and established the Glorious Empire, becoming the first emperor.
In order to defend against foreign enemies around the empire, Garner canonized the six paladins under his command as dukes, ordered them to garrison in the four directions, and continue to expand the territory.
Thousands of years have passed, and now there are only four of the six dukes left.
The Northern Territory where Colin is located is currently the domain of Duke Hilde among the four dukes.
The Northern Territory was originally the territory of the Troll race, but they had already been driven by the Hilde family to the frozen ice field farther north.
Unwilling to fail, the trolls are determined to retake this rich land, and they launch a southern expedition almost every year.
This year is no exception.
And Colin's father, Baron Angele, is currently on the front line.
As the night descended, the candlestick on the desk was extinguished, and the bedroom became quiet.
Only the sound of Colin's steady and slight breathing was heard, and the call of owls from far away from Greycastle.
When the dark clouds covered the moonlight, a dark shadow suddenly appeared next to the Colin's bed.
He looked at Colin who was asleep, a look of doubt flashed across his face.
Because he clearly remembered that last night, he clearly inserted a dagger into Colin's chest.
Why is he alive?
Sombra was very puzzled.
But he did not hesitate.
Quietly, he drew out the dagger and slowly placed it above Colin's chest.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that someone had told him:
Although the vast majority of people have their hearts on the left side, a few people have their hearts on the right side of chest.
So, this time, he quietly moved the dagger in his hand a certain distance to the right.
"Hey!"
The dagger pierced Colin's chest fiercely.
The tremendous pain caused Colin to wake up from his dream, and he was about to speak screaming but his mouth was tightly covered by a pair of big hands.
"Woo... woo... woo..."
Colin's eyes widened in horror, staring at the assassin in front of him.
He recognized him!
After a while, Colin's struggle gradually subsided.
But Sombra did not relax his vigilance.
He waited a full ten minutes before removing the hand covering Colin's mouth.
Afterwards, he drew out the dagger from Colin's chest and cut his throat.
Now, damn you.
