[The Lord has the right to accept the support of the people, but at the same time, he must also bear the obligation to protect the people from evil.]

In this crisis-ridden world, although human beings occupy the richest land in the center of the continent, they also bear gazes from the surrounding alien races.

Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Glorious Empire, a [Lord's Law] was established to clarify the rights and obligations of the lord.

According to this law, nobles who lost their territories will be deprived of their titles.

Knight Carter is the victim of this law.

The title of his family was deprived because his territory was breached by the trolls.

Thus, Carter became a wandering knight.

Losing the territorial support, this knight lived a miserable life, and even the money for maintaining his armor and weapons was almost out of stock.

Fortunately, Baron Angele took him in.

Carter also offered his loyalty to the Angele family.

But obviously, this loyalty cannot stand the test.

Because just now, the knight Carter personally inserted the dagger into the chest of the son of Baron Angele.

Also inserted twice.

Carter looked at Colin's body, the guilt flashed in his eyes, but they quickly became firm again.

Thinking of that person's promise to him, Carter felt that his dream of the rejuvenating family was just around the corner.

However, when Carter got up from the bed and was about to quietly leave, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Turning around, Carter only saw a ray of cold light hitting him!

"Hey!"

A sharp pain came from Carter's chest, making him scream in a low voice.

But the pain in his chest can't conceal the fear in the soul at all, Colin who should have died is alive again!

Is he the devil?

Amidst pain and panic, Carter subconsciously picked up the unfolded dagger in his hand and stabbed it forward.

"What!"

There was a muffled hum on the other side, followed by Colin who gritted his teeth and laughed: "It hurts, right? You crap, stabbed me twice! Oh, no, three times!"

"You...you..." Carter only felt the strength of his whole body quickly leaving him, and his consciousness began to blur.

"Say! Who sent you here?"

But before he could ask for anything, Carter's body has gradually softened, and blood couldn't stop gurgling from his mouth.

Colin leaned closer, only to hear his dying voice: "Weird...monster..."

Is he dead?

This is too casual!

Colin looked at Carter, who had completely lost his voice, and suddenly regretted it, he should avoid the other party's vitals.

Well now, the only clue is broken.

Looking at the bloody corpse in front of him, Colin gasped for a few moments, but he was not panicked.

In the first place, what he did was considered as a legitimate defense, without any psychological burden.

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

Of course, "he" here refers to the former owner of the body that Colin currently occupies.

Colin in his previous life was a law-abiding good citizen. Not to mention killing, he didn't even know how to fight, but the owner of this body had been on the battlefield. There are many scenes in his memory that are more bloody and terrifying than everything before him.

Therefore, after the memories were merged, these things before him could only be regarded as a small scene.

"Puff!", the candle on the desk was lit.

Colin rolled out the roll of parchment and recorded:

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

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

[Only ordinary weapons, silver weapons to be tested...]

At this point, Colin is a little worried, how to test this?

Shouldn't you stab yourself with a silver weapon?

What if you really stabbed yourself to death?

However, Colin immediately came to his senses, which normal-brained guy would use silver as a material to build weapons?

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

So, he no longer struggled with this.

Putting down the quill, Colin picked up the wine glass on the table and came back to the body of knight Carter.

"Puff!"

The dagger was pulled out from the corpse's chest, and blood gurgled out.

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

The flickering candlelight reflected Colin's pale face, coupled with the smell of blood permeating the air, it looked strange and terrifying in this dim night.

"Guru, Guru..."

Take a sip.

Very sweet.

Colin smacked his lips, still feeling a little bit unfinished.

Then he closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body, it seemed to be nothing different from the reaction after drinking deer blood.

There are only signs of slight fever.

Colin thought this was a sequela of the violent fight just now, so he didn't care too much.

Drink animal blood in the future.

Colin still has some psychological barriers to drinking human blood. Since there are no additional benefits, then he doesn't have 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 had already dealt with the murderer who attempted to assassinate himself, Colin also knew that the knight Carter was just a pawn, and there must be someone else who really killed him.

The reason is simple: Carter kills him, except that he will be chased by the Angele family to the end of the world, he will not get any benefits.

Moreover, he and Carter have no personal enmity.

Therefore, someone must pay a big price for hiring Carter to assassinate him.

Who will this person be?

Colin searched for people in his memory, but there was no suspicious person.

There is no way, there are too few clues.

This feeling that the enemy is in the dark makes Colin particularly uncomfortable.

Moreover, since this person can buy Carter, I'm afraid he can also buy other people.

Is butler Yimen involved in this matter?

Anyone else?

Thinking of this, Colin suddenly felt that the current Greycastle was very dangerous.

Especially when Baron Angele is outside the territory.

He didn't want to deal with rounds of assassinations. After all, he couldn't be sure whether he really couldn't be killed.

Although his current body doesn't seem to have any deadly vitals, if someone cuts off his head, he doubts whether he can grow another...

Moreover, even if he is really immortal, if this secret is leaked out, then his situation will probably be very unfavorable.

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

The two or three hours before sunrise is when people sleep most peacefully.

Even guards on duty can't help but doze off right now.

However, they were quickly awakened by a scream: "It's on fire! It's on fire!"

The Greycastle in the dark became hot instantly, and the messy servants and guards rushed to Colin's bedroom with buckets in their hands, trying to put out the raging fire.

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

Suddenly, Colin stopped abruptly, holding the hilt of the sword 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 who had just been defeated by him during the day, and suddenly became arrogant.

Colin breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the kitten by the back of his neck and carried it in front of him, and smiled: "Hey, since you found me, then you can go with me."

"Meow--"

"Well, just right, you can be a mobile blood bag."

"Meow?"

This guy is kinda dumb to allow the knight to stab him so many times and then killed him without getting clues out of him.

He's supposedly a warrior who had fight in wars before and he's also supposedly had a proper plan to deal with the killer. Turned out his plan is kinda dumb.
