Original Vampire

"Master, what you said... seems to make sense..."

Emon steward chose his words carefully.

But the hesitation in his eyes still made Colin understand that it was a bit unrealistic for those who do not understand the basic principles of genetics to understand the complicated relationship among the Uman family's descendants.

"Emon, if you are free, you can grow peas, and see if two short-stalked peas can be crossed with tall-stemmed peas, then you can understand why I am certain that Varla must be It's not the reason for Count Uman illegitimate child."

"Yes, sir." Emon took note of the matter respectfully. He is really going to study it later.

"As for the things I just said, whether you are believing or not, you should temporarily bury them in your heart and don't spread them out. The next development of the situation in the northern border should confirm my inference."

"Yes."

Colin raised his glass again, had a drink with his three retainers, and then said, "Okay, now I can tell me about the territory. "

"Yes, sir." Emon cleared his throat and immediately began to report to Colin about the development of the Viscountry since this time.

During Colin's absence for more than four months, the territory's finances have recovered somewhat from the disaster of the previous troll invasion, but the situation is still not optimistic due to the recent food crisis.

Fortunately, Colin brought back a large amount of food from Silver Moon City this time. Presumably, this situation will soon be changed.

Ice Rock City’s "tax reduction and business introduction" measures have been very successful. More and more businessmen now regard Ice Rock City as a transit point for border trade.

With Colin’s current influence in Silver Moon City, more half-elf merchants will come to Ice Rock City in the future. Therefore, the "first border city of commerce" at the mouth of Quincy, It seems to have begun to take shape.

Of course, such distant water cannot save the nearby fire. At present, the finances of the Anglia family can only be supported by loans from the Tulip Chamber of Commerce.

However, after taking control of the wealthy half-elf kingdom, as long as Colin does not immediately engage in brutal violence, Queen Aisha will fully support him.

This is the benefit of raising a rich woman!

Yes, Colin thinks she is the queen of Aisha, not the other way around.

After all, Colin helped her win the throne of Queen Aisha, so there is nothing wrong with it.

After talking about the economic aspect, the next is the military aspect.

The three thousand infantrymen trained by Raymond Baron have basically formed battle strength, while the thousand cavalrymen trained by Knight Charl are still short of fire.

It's okay to let them deal with slave rebellions, but if they want to go to the battlefield to deal with the regular army, I am afraid it is still enough.

However, the six thousand Black Cavalry Colin brought back this time can completely make a qualitative change in the military strength of the Anglia family.

If you add the half-elf Silvermoon Guard that can be dispatched at any time to support, Colin has now become a military force that cannot be ignored in the north of the empire.

Especially in the current situation of chaos, Colin's weight is even heavier.

"Emon, you send someone to Winter City to help me ask Duke Saint Hild to marry Miss Vera."

"Master, you should visit this kind of thing yourself. Winter City is more suitable." Emon hesitated for a moment, but still persuaded.

"But I can’t go away. Now that there are frequent rebellions in the North, it’s more appropriate for me to sit in Ice Rock City. Besides, I had already personally asked the Duke once at Lion's Roar. It’s just that the Duke didn’t agree, and now that the old things are brought up again, even if I am not present, it’s not too rude."

Emon thought for a while and felt that Colin’s words made sense, so he stopped insisting: "Okay. Well, sir, I will arrange it."

Colin was nodded with satisfaction.

He won't go to Winter City himself at this time. In addition to sitting in Ice Rock City, he is also a little worried that he will be plotted against by the gloomy Duke.

Under the current situation in the North, as long as Colin sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, both the Saint Hild family and the Saint Theon family need to win him over.

Therefore, Colin felt that if Duke Saint Hild was wiser, he would definitely not refuse his courtship this time.

"In addition, send people to pay attention to the movements of Marquis Dawson and Count Uman, and report to me at any time." Colin felt that the most important cards in the hands of the Saint Theon family this time should be these two.

I just don’t know if other families have joined.

"Yes, master." Emon nodded responded, and then reminded, "Master, we might also pay attention to troll's movements."

"troll?" Colin said. Only then realized that he almost ignored the enemy of life and death in the northern realm.

Although the main force of troll has just been wiped out by Black Cavalry, with the background of this empire, it is not impossible to piece together a 100,000 army after biting the teeth recently.

This kind of strength also has a decisive weight in the northern territory where the current civil strife is about to rise.

Furthermore, Colin has also realized that the relationship between the Saint Theon family and troll is definitely not simple.

In the first Northern Rebellion, troll was the greatest support of the Saint Theon family.

And this time, Colin remembered that the most important piece of the Saint Theon family in Silver Moon City, that is, Sith Savoy, was introduced to him by Prince Ganben.

Thinking about it this way, the situation Duke Saint Hild is about to face is much more severe than Colin imagined.

"Well, you send someone to stare at the troll, and let me know if you have any news."

"Yes, sir."

"Charl, You can help me train three thousand cavalry. If the instructor is not enough, you can go to Knight Loge."

"Yes, Lord Viscount."

"Wait for Knight Lego to return to Ice After Rock City, let him recruit another 5,000 infantry for training."

Colin now feels a sense of urgency more and more, if he wants to seek self-protection in the upcoming chaos in the north, Even taking advantage of the situation, he must quickly expand his army.

Emon steward frowned, persuaded: "Master, this way, our family's financial pressure will be too great."

"You don't have to worry about this!" Colin big hand With a wave, he said proudly, "I have reached an agreement with Queen Aisha that the half-elf kingdom will support our army building, and in return, I will also help the half-elf resist foreign enemies."

"That's really good!"

Emon and the three obviously don't understand the relationship between Colin and Queen Aisha. Hearing this agreement that is so beneficial to the Anglia family, they suddenly showed an incredible surprise. .

This agreement simply states that the half-elf kingdom will provide money to help the Anglia family raise an army!

Colin smiled reserved, and then changed the subject: "For this Ice Rock City rebellion, do you think anyone is pushing behind?"

Emon said immediately: "Master, I suspect that the Tulip Chamber of Commerce is making trouble behind the scenes. Although there is no direct evidence, they are the first to hoard food, causing food prices to soar, which triggers famine."

"Then immediately put them in the Chamber of Commerce Commerce is under the control of the Chief-In-Charge in the city!"

"Master, if you do this, will Count Uman be stimulated? After all, the president of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce is his lover Penny "

"You don't need to use sedition reasons to arrest people." Colin suddenly remembered the old king of Silver Moon City's methods against the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce.

"Then what reason do we use?"

"Just say that they suspect tax evasion."
