Original Vampire

It snows almost every year during Winter Veil, and this year is no exception.

Early in the morning, big snowflakes floated up in Ice Rock City, and there were bursts of biting cold wind blowing through the dim sky.

In such bad weather, the benevolent lord did not let the slaves go out to work.

One by one, they squeezed into the newly built refugee camp, relying on each other's body temperature to keep warm.

Suddenly, the camp was boiling again, and all kinds of surprises were screaming, because the benevolent lord even asked the soldiers to bring wine to the slaves.

Wine is certainly not a good wine, and it is also mixed with a lot of water, but for the slave who has never tasted the taste of wine for the overwhelming majority, it seems to be from the kingdom of heaven.

The spicy drink dispelled the cold, and countless slaves crawled on the ground, praising the lord’s mercy loudly.

At this moment, the benevolent lord is still lying in the warm blanket.

There is heavy snow outside the house, but the house is warm like spring.

The flame in the fireplace jumped all night, and the heat emitted made the entire room extraordinarily comfortable.

Cathy walked in lightly and filled a few dry wood into the fireplace. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Colin sitting up on the bed.

"My lord, you are awake."

"En."

Actually, Colin woke up early, but on such a snowy morning, please take a moment. The bed can also be regarded as a memorial and remembrance of the habits of previous lives.

"Happy Winter Veil, Master Viscount! I'll go and prepare the wash and breakfast for you."

Today's Cathy dressed up specially, wearing a white dress With an apron decorated with ruffles around her waist, Maroon's long hair is tied up with a red turban, which looks simple and generous.

Bright and intelligent eyes, long pointed ears, and exquisite facial features make her whole body exude a soft temperament.

"Happy Winter Veil!" Colin smiled and greeted the half-elf maid.

Then I got out of bed and walked to the window, watching the world wrapped in silver and white outside, my thoughts flying.

The Winter Veil Festival is a unique festival of Glorious Empire. It lasts from mid-December to the beginning of January of the year. It is the most grand festival of the year.

On the snow in the castle, there are three children playing around.

They are all collateral members of the Anglia family. Colin was not familiar with it. It took a long time to distinguish the name of one of the little boys. As for the other two, they couldn't remember.

Listening to the innocent laughter of the children in the ear, an unspeakable loneliness suddenly rushed into Colin's heart.

Huh—

Colin suddenly slammed the window open.

The freezing north wind mixed with snowflakes assaults the senses, with an icy chill, seems to be deep into the bones, freezing the blood.

However, Colin didn't care at all.

After being promoted to the fourth rank Knight, his long-silent heart suddenly came to life, beating again, and beating more powerfully and more vigorously than before.

Driven by this heart, the blood in his whole body is also surging like a torrential river, and the heat radiating from his body makes the snow all over the sky melt into water before it touches the skin.

"Yeah! Lord Viscount, why did you open the window? Beware of the cold." Cathy walked in with the washing utensils and couldn't help cry out in surprise.

Colin laughed, closed the window again, and let Cathy wait for herself to wash.

"My lord, are you having breakfast here today or are you going to the restaurant?"

"Is it right here."

"Yes."

p>

Soon, Cathy walked in again with the dinner plate.

The breakfast is very rich, charcoal grilled tilapia, cream tomatoes, almond gingerbread, and a cup of eggnog.

However, Colin frowned: "Eggnog? Didn't I let you prepare deer blood wine for every meal?"

Cathy explained in a low voice: "My lord This is the first meal of the Winter Veil Festival. According to tradition, there must be almond gingerbread and eggnog."

Colin just remembered it, it seems that it is indeed the case.

"My lord, if you insist, I can go to the kitchen to prepare a glass of deer blood wine."

"Forget it." Colin waved his hand.

It doesn't matter if you don't drink blood, and he doesn't bother to let the kitchen go to toss again.

Being in the countryside, Colin also took advantage of these foods to experience the atmosphere of the Winter Veil Festival in this World.

"How do you half-elf usually spend Winter Veil?" Colin asked casually while experiencing the wonderful reaction of gingerbread and eggnog in his mouth.

Cathy, who was standing by, smiled and said: "In fact, the Winter Veil Festival in the half-elf kingdom is no different from the empire. The only difference is that we will hold a bonfire party in the evening."

"Campfire party?"

"Yes, it can also be said to be a bonfire party, but the dancers are all male and half elf. They will show their talents at the party to attract women and a half Elf's gaze."

"Would they not invite women and half-elf to dance together?"

"No, that is the custom of your human empire, half-elf dance is generally They are all solo dances. At the end of the dance party, judges composed of respected elderly people will select the most graceful male half-elf."

Speaking of which, Cathy seems to remember something, little face Suddenly became red, very cute.

Colin was a little speechless.

"The most graceful man..."

This expression made Colin get goose bumps all over his body.

But as a gentleman, Colin still suppressed his inner discomfort and asked with a smile: "Then what reward will this winner get?"

"He will get The title of'Moonlight Dancer'." Cathy's eyes are full of envy and admiration, and she seems to be very yearning for this title.

Colin nodded, suddenly became interested in this moonlight dancer, wanting to see how beautiful their dancing posture is.

"Your custom should be inheritance to the elf family, right?"

"Yes." Cathy nodded, "and, before the elf family disappeared in Brightmoon Forest, Silver Moon In City’s Moonlight Dancers Selection Ball, there will actually be representatives of elf who will come to participate."

"Oh? When did the elf clan completely cut off contact with you?"

Cathy pondered for a moment and replied: "I have read the written in ancient records in the Savoy family. Probably... more than 800 years ago, the elf family completely disappeared in the depths of the glorious forest and never contacted us. Over."

Colin has finished eating the food in front of him, took the napkin and wiped his mouth, said curiously: "You half elf have never tried to enter Brightmoon Forest to find the trace of the elf clan? "

"Of course. In the first few years when the elf clan disappeared, many semi-elf aristocrats in Silver Moon City who were closely connected with the elf clan panicked. They sent a large number of knight-errants and The soldiers went to Brightmoon Forest and tried to find the traces of the elf clan.

But...the half-elf clansman who entered Brightmoon Forest, without exception, never came out again..."

"Haven't come out again?" Colin frowned.

He suddenly felt that the disappearance of the elf clan might not be that simple.

That mysterious and dangerous Brightmoon Forest should hide some unknown things.
