TOV69

With the departure of the Duke of St. Hilde, the rest of the lords of the North also left one after another.

Ice Rock City also became deserted.

Of course, such desertedness is only relative.

Compared with Graycastle Town, the former fief of the Angele family, Ice Rock City is obviously much hotter.

The lives of the residents in the city seem to have returned to the original trajectory. Although the owner of the city has changed, it does not seem to have much effect on them.

Compared with who is the lord of Ice Rock City, these civilians are more concerned about whether the food at home is enough to eat, and the clothes are enough to wear.

However, for some people, this is an earth-shaking change.

These people, of course, are the former masters of this city-the Sudor family.

Deprived of the title and fiefdom, the Sudor family can only choose to leave sadly.

For the Sudor family, Colin didn't plan to kill them all. After all, the unspoken rule of this world is to tolerate the losers.

Of course, the loser must be a nobleman.

The life and death of civilians are a matter of no concern.

These failed noble children will become wandering knights, exchanging force and loyalty for the lord's acceptance.

He will look forward to one day, by virtue of his military merits, he can regain his fief and knighthood and regain the glory of the family.

This is the tolerance of the world for the lost nobility.

Because in the eyes of people in this world, failure is only temporary, but the blood is handed down from generation to generation.

Noble blood can give birth to great heroes.

And these heroes who can turn the tide are the foundation of the human race in this world.

Today, a family has been extinct, and a noble lineage has been cut off. Perhaps, this has killed a hero who may save the human race in the future.

This of course is never allowed.

Therefore, even the Duke of St. Hilde, after executing the rebellious lords, can only deprive their family titles and fiefdoms, but will not kill their family members.

Of course, Colin didn't dare to break this unspoken rule, unless he didn't want to stay in the Glorious Empire.

However, although he would not kill the Sudor family, but one of them, Colin did not intend to let her go easily.

This person, of course, is the mad woman who has troubled him time and time again - Cynthia Sudor.

"Still can't find it?"

"Yes, Master Viscount."

Obviously, Cynthia seemed to have expected that Colin would not let her go. As soon as the knighting ceremony was over, she ran away without a trace.

Colin frowned, also feeling a little tricky.

If a Tier 3 knight wanted to escape, it would be really difficult for him to catch the opponent.

"Where is the servant of the Sudor family named Thrall?"

"Sorry, my lord, I didn't find it either."

Colin snorted coldly, somewhat helpless.

However, he didn't blame knight Raymond too much.

After all, how long did the Angele family take over Ice Rock City? It was considered a standard outside force, and there were not many soldiers brought by Raymond from Graycastle before. It was simply unrealistic to block the entire city.

"Forget it, let's not look for it for now. You send someone to Fallen Eagle City to find out, maybe Cynthia and Thrall will appear there. Don't mess around after you find them, just send someone to stare at." 

"Yes, my lord!"

Colin felt that they will most likely choose to take refuge in the Uman family, after all, they were related by marriage.

As for how to get someone from Earl Uman, Colin still hasn't thought of any way for the time being.

Speaking of Earl Uman, Colin still hasn't forgotten that the suspect who wanted to murder him has yet to figure out who it is.

However, the most suspected one is the Earl of Uman.

As for sister Caitlin.

After getting along for so many days, Colin felt more and more that her suspicion was not big.

After all, no one can act so real.

Moreover, Caitlin's husband knight Varla, there is still no news.

In Colin's eyes, this guy probably really died in an unknown corner of the battlefield.

But Caitlin was obviously unwilling to accept this fact, and she still inquired about Varla's information from every caravan returning from the ice sheet, and even ran several trips to the ice sheet in person, trying to find the whereabouts of her husband.

This is simply looking for a needle in a haystack.

Colin was not good to persuade, so he had to toss with her.

He himself is also very busy now, and he has to deal with a lot of things in the new territory.

At this time, the person Colin looked forward to most was the old steward of the Angele family - Yimen.

If he were in Ice Rock City, he would definitely help Colin handle these things in an orderly manner.

"Where is the Yimen now? When will he get to Ice Rock City?"

Colin asked this question almost every day.

"It's coming soon, it is estimated that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest." The knight Raymond was also a little helpless.

With the communication methods of this world, he can't grasp the exact location of Butler Yimen in real-time.

"I know, go ahead." Colin sighed, not embarrassing Raymond.

"Yes."

After Raymond left, Colin once again immersed himself in handling the documents piled up on the desk.

I don’t know how long it took, and the candles on the table almost burned out. Colin rubbed his sour eyes and said, "Give me a new row of candles!"

However, the servants outside the door did not respond.

Colin waited a moment, then called again, but still received no response.

He frowned, thinking that the guy guarding outside was dozing off again, so he got up and walked to the door.

"Come on."

The moment he opened the door, Colin suddenly realized that something was wrong.

But just when he wanted to retreat quickly, a long sword pierced the door of the room and pierced his heart!

"Boom!"

Between the lightning and flint, Colin immediately fell back and fell to the ground, avoiding the sword.

The dazzling holy light flooded like water, the wooden door burst open, and the sawdust fluttered around.

Colin rolled quickly, quickly climbed up from the ground, and rushed towards the [Judgement Blade] hanging on the wall of the room without looking back.

However, the speed of the assassins was faster.

Still not waiting for Colin to touch his weapon, there was a sharp sting behind him.

"Puff!"

The injured Colin fell to the ground.

However, there was not much panic on his face.

He struggled to turn his head, leaning against the wall to look at the incoming person—

It really is Cynthia, this crazy woman!

"Ahem, did you come to kill me by yourself? Or was someone instructed you to come?" Colin asked in a sharp voice.

"Hey, I'll kill you, do I still need someone to instruct me?" Cynthia slowly approached Colin, gritted her teeth.

Colin was a little disappointed, and seemed to hope that the other party was instigated.

But I didn't expect that this woman was really a reckless lunatic.

"Kill me, you can't live."

Cynthia sneered, not caring about Colin's threat.

"Hey!"

The long sword pierced Colin's chest.

"Cough cough..." Colin's face was distorted with pain, but he still asked unwillingly, "Really no one ordered you to kill me? There is no such thing as Earl Uman?"

Cynthia obviously didn't expect that Colin would still care about this before he died. She shook her head and sneered, "No!"

"Crazy woman." Colin also sneered and cursed.

Cynthia laughed excitedly in the face of Colin's abuse.

Cynthia, who was immersed in the pleasure of revenge, did not notice that Colin's eyes at this time gradually became fierce and bloodthirsty.

I saw him ignoring the long sword that pierced his chest, rushing forward, grabbing Cynthia's neck.

Then, he took a bite!
