Chapter 28 028, Wake Up

Colin woke up.

He looked around and found himself still in the original tent.

He didn’t know how many days he had been unconscious, but he could only tell from the surrounding light that it was night.

Besides him, there was another person in the tent, Vera.

She lay quietly on the edge of the bed, seeming to be asleep.

Colin looked at Vera’s snow-white hair, and a trace of warmth emerged in his heart.

It could not be denied that his previous actions were indeed using his immortality to put on a show.

However, it seemed that he had gone a little overboard.

Thinking back now, when he was injured the first time, he could still control his injuries.

Though the second time, when he took a bullet for Vera, he could not handle it.

The intense pain and the overly severe wound made Colin unable to stop the bleeding in time.

In addition, he saw some scenes that were inappropriate for children.

In short, Colin felt that the accident was caused by excessive blood loss.

It seemed that he had to stop the bleeding as soon as possible if he was injured in the future.

Colin secretly warned himself.

Then, he recalled that he seemed to have woken up once before.

Moreover, there was a priest who was pouring holy water into his mouth at that time.

However, the holy water did not seem to cause him any harm. Instead, it helped him recover.

That was not right.

It was not just recovering his injuries.

Colin carefully felt the changes in his body.

He found that his body was actually slightly warm, just like the situation after drinking Knight Carter’s blood!

Could it be that the holy water could also help him increase his strength?

This was interesting.

Colin suppressed the joy in his heart and decided to wait a few more days to see if his strength had really increased.

If the holy water really had the same effect as the knight’s blood.

Then, it was either that the vampire settings in this world were a bit strange.

Or…

It was the holy water of the Church of Light, there was a bit of a problem…

Also, the silver python that he had dreamed of while he was unconscious.

It seemed to be more than just a random dream.

He felt that the taste of the blood of the giant python was too real.

It was so vivid that it did not seem like a dream.

Colin lay on the bed, his thoughts running wild.

He had just woken up from his coma, and he could not fall asleep either.

Thus, he waited until dawn with his eyes open.

“Good morning, Miss Vera.”

“Ah, Colin, you’re awake!”

Colin felt a little guilty when he saw the genuine and undisguised surprise in Vera’s eyes. Was it not good to deceive an innocent little girl like this?

Though soon, Colin got rid of this idea. After all, although he had intended to play dead, he had almost made it real.

So, Vera’s good impression could indeed be considered that he had traded his life for it.

According to the rhythm of the melodramatic TV series, Vera should have given herself to him by now.

“How long have I been unconscious for?”

“Three whole days!”

“That long?”

“Yeah. It’s all thanks to Archbishop Raven’s holy water.”

Colin secretly memorized Raven’s name and at the same time asked, “Then I must thank him! I wonder how Archbishop Raven appeared here?”

“He came here with my uncle, Marquis Garcia. Oh right, my uncle came with the Black Knights to support us, so we are safe!”

“Marquis Garcia is here too! Then we are indeed safe.”

“Yes. You must be hungry, right? I will go find some food for you.”

Vera said as she got up and walked out of the tent.

Looking at the girl’s graceful figure, Colin suddenly felt that he had made a worthwhile sacrifice this time.

“Meow.”

Whitey also found that its “human slave” had woken up. It excitedly came over and licked Colin a few times, then found a comfortable position on the bed and continued to sleep.

Colin stroked the kitten’s soft fur and began to search for relevant information about Marquis Garcia in his mind.

Then, he found that his predecessor was, as expected, an admirer of Marquis Garcia.

Well, who wasn’t a young man of his age in the Northern Territory?

However, Colin also found some interesting things in his memory.

For example, although Marquis Garcia was the number one person in the Northern Territory army, the Black Knights army in his hands was also an invincible army.

However, he had already retired from the front line of the battle against the trolls three years ago.

At that time, Marquis Garcia had taken the initiative to retire from the front line. He even claimed that he wanted to take a vacation and let the soldiers of the Black Knights army rest for a while.

However, in the eyes of a discerning person, this “official story” was obviously not the truth of the matter.

There was only one reason that really made Marquis Garcia retire from the front line, suspicion!

Suspicion from the Duke of the Northern Territory

Although there was no such thing as overpowering the Lord, the logic was the same.

There was no difference in the hearts of the people.

The prestige of Marquis Garcia and the strength of the Black Knights’ army had already made the Duke of the Northern Territory restless.

Even if Marquis Garcia was the younger brother of the Duke of the Northern Territory…

In the face of power…

Not to mention brothers…

Even father and son could not be relied on.

A terrifying force like the Black Knights could make the trolls not dare to set foot in the Northern Territory or change Winter City’s leader by force.

Therefore, Marquis Garcia was transferred away from the front line.

The sharp blade of the Black Knights was forced into its sheath.

The one who replaced him in the front line was the eldest son of the Duke of the Northern Territory, Marquis Charles.

The Duke of the Northern Territory obviously hoped that his son would be able to take on this burden and train a strong army for the Northern Territory at the front line.

An army that truly belonged to the direct line of the St. Hilde family.

It was done in order to balance the influence of Marquis Garcia.

Unfortunately, Marquis Charles did not live up to expectations.

He held on for three years at the front line, but in the end, he could not hold on.

The trolls had charged in.

So, Marquis Garcia had to be summoned again, butColin was a little worried.

If Marquis Garcia did not disappoint the public this time and once again crushed the invading trolls like he had done countless times before, then how would the Duke of St. Hilde reward those who had contributed?

It was impossible to advance in the rank of nobility.

After the marquis, there would be a duke.

And in the Northern Territory, there could only be one duke.

As for the territory.

Marquis Garcia’s current territory size had already far exceeded the standard of an ordinary marquis.

Moreover, more territory meant more taxes and population, which also meant greater military potential.

Although the Black Knights were powerful, it was also costly to provide for them. Therefore, their size had never exceeded 50,000 people.

However, if they were given more nutrients and allowed to continue expanding…

It would probably be even more difficult to deal with.

At the thought of this, Colin suddenly felt some sympathy for Vera’s adoptive father. Letting the Black Knights come to rescue showed that the situation at the front line was really critical, but it was also like drinking poison to quench thirst.

Of course, if Colin knew that Marquis Garcia had simply sent troops on his own this time and had not received the duke’s order, he would probably be even more worried.
