Chapter 81： Variety

The night is getting darker.

There is no moonlight in Bingyan City tonight, only a little bit of stars.

Colin stood on the balcony of the Red Fort and looked into the distance.

To the north is a cold and barren ice field, and to the east, you can see the edge of the forest.

In the dark forest, I don’t know how many beasts are hidden.

After crossing the dark forest, you can enter the territory of the half-elf kingdom.

Footsteps sounded, and the Charles Knight appeared behind Colin: "My lord, are you looking for me?"

"Sit down." Colin turned around and pointed to the red wine glass on the table again, "Drink."

The Charles Knight hesitated: "My lord, I am ready to give up drinking."

"It's okay, drink less." Colin insisted.

The Charles Knight then picked up the wine glass, touched it gently with Colin, and brought it to his mouth.

Colin drank red wine while paying attention to the reaction of the Charles Knight.

The glass of red wine he gave Shire was poisonous.

Of course, this is not Colin deliberately cheating his blood.

It's just that he is doing an experiment.

And he has experimented on blood slaves before, and found that they are all immune to highly toxic substances.

Therefore, he felt that the more advanced blood should also be protected from the poison.

"How is it? Has there been any change in your body these past few days?" Colin put down his glass and asked.

Charles put down his glass and reported his findings to Colin excitedly.

Through the other party's narration, Colin learned that the Shire Knight's current changes are very similar to him.

Phobia, bloodthirsty, immortality...

Yes, Charles, the ruthless man, started experimenting with his body after he discovered that his severed finger had regrown.

Then, he found that he had no fatal injuries at all.

Of course, unlike the blood slave, Charles still felt the pain.

Colin rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

He now wants to know whether the blood can also be promoted by consuming the blood of high-level knights.

However, Shire is already a Tier 3 knight, and Colin does not have the blood of Tier 4 knights to experiment.

"Can you control your teeth?" Colin asked again.

"Huya?" The Charles Knight looked puzzled, then opened his mouth, revealing two inconspicuous tiger fangs, "It seems...cannot."

"kindness……"

Colin guessed that if the blood cannot control the elongation of the tiger's teeth, it may not be able to release the blood poison through the tiger's teeth, and it will not be possible to create blood slaves.

Of course, it is even more impossible to have a complete first embrace and create the next generation of blood.

Afterwards, Colin talked to the Shire knights about cavalry construction. Seeing that the other party looked as usual and was completely unaffected by the poisonous wine, Colin also confirmed the fact that the blood was immune to poison.

"Oh right, do you like hunting?" Colin asked suddenly.

The Charles Knight was taken aback, nodded and said, "I like it very much."

"Well, the last time I went hunting with Knight Rego, this guy ran into a mysterious knight and was beaten up. I didn't have much fun. I was planning to go with him again, but I was too busy recently. If you have time, , Just accompany him to play again."

After borrowing blood from Lei Ge last time, Colin was successfully promoted to the second rank.

However, he felt that Lei Ge's blood should still be able to help him promote to the third rank, so he wanted to borrow it again.

But Colin didn't plan to lead Rego to go hunting by himself, because that would easily arouse the suspicion of the other party.

If he would be attacked every time he went hunting with Colin, then Rego would be stupid and suspect that the attacker was probably related to Colin.

Therefore, he intends to let the Shire knight lead Rego knight out.

"Okay." The Charles Knight nodded naturally without doubting him.

After sending off the Shire Knight, Colin picked up the opponent's glass and poured the remaining poisonous wine into his mouth.

Blood slaves and blood descent can be immune to highly poisonous, so I should be even more okay.

Colin thought so.

Just as he felt the changes in his body, footsteps sounded again, and Butler Yimon appeared on the balcony: "Master, are you looking for me?"

Colin nodded: "Sit down."

The two sat down on the balcony. Colin clapped his hands and asked the maid to serve two glasses of red wine and some dried fruits.

Of course, there is no poison in the wine this time.

The maid placed the things on the table gently, and then quickly left.

"You changed all the servants in the castle?" Colin asked after taking a sip of red wine.

"No, just changed the personal servant around you again. This is also for your safety, and it doesn't cost much." Yimen quickly explained.

Colin nodded, and said nothing.

The servants of the Red Fort are basically left by the Suduo family at the time. Colin didn’t intend to replace them all. After all, the recruitment and training of new servants need to spend money, and the current financial situation of the Anglia family is not. Ample.

He needs to save every amount of money as much as possible and use it in key places-such as army building.

However, he also knew that the old butler was out of good intentions, so he didn't reprimand him.

"How is Quincy's new tax officer doing now?"

"Very good." Yimen nodded with a smile, "Master, you have found a very good tax officer."

"Well, that's good. But you have to stare at him a little bit. I can't fully trust him yet."

"I understand."

Seeing Yimeng understood what he meant, Colin relaxed, took out another letter from his jacket pocket, and handed it to the old housekeeper:

"Just received a reply from the Marquis Dawson he agreed to provide us with war horses and armor. However, the price...a bit too high, you see if it fits."

Yimeng carefully read the reply from the Marquis of Dawson, thought for a moment, and said:

"Master, we can ask the Marquis Dawson to provide a batch of samples. If the quality of the samples is as he said, no less than the standard equipment of the Black Cavalry, then the price is really not high."

"Well, let him send a batch of samples first." Colin rubbed his forehead, a little annoyed, "but our family finances... can we afford this expenditure now?"

"It's difficult," Yimon said truthfully.

Seeing Colin sinking into deep thought, Yimeng persuaded: "Master, with all due respect, is it too anxious to form cavalry now?"

Colin was silent.

He understands what Yimeng said is reasonable, he is indeed a little anxious.

If you wait a year or two, wait for the territory to recover and develop, and wait for the tax revenue to become abundant, it may be more appropriate to form cavalry.

However, Colin couldn't wait that long.

But he knew that the rift between the Duke of St. Hild and the Marquis of Garcia had been created.

Although the Marquis of Garcia seems to be quiet, he seems to have endured his brother's betrayal.

But who knows when there will be another crisis in the North, when the time comes, will the black cavalry stand on the side of the Duke of St. Hilde unreservedly, just like the previous two?

Therefore, Colin felt a deep crisis.

He must quickly develop his own power, lest he doesn’t even have the qualifications to stand in the team at that time, so he can only follow the crowd and be at the mercy of others.

Thinking of this, Colin gritted his teeth and said harshly.

"We can borrow!"
