The First Vampire-Chapter 533 - : Appointment 531_1

Chapter 533: Appointment 531_1

The night was deep.

The Blood Knight Army’s camp gradually quieted down, the warriors had all fallen asleep, only the night watch soldiers still patrolled back and forth with their torches.

However, in the darkness that the soldiers could not see clearly, a figure was lying breathlessly on the grassland, until the patrol team was far away, then he lifted his head again, carefully identifying the direction.

But soon, this intruder frowned.

He was lost…

This was normal. In a large military camp with tens of thousands of people, unless one was extremely familiar with this army, they would inevitably lose their way after entering.

Just as he hesitated whether to take the risk to grab a Blood Knight soldier and ask, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He turned around abruptly, only to see a figure standing behind him unknowingly!

The figure was shrouded in armor, revealing only a pair of emotionless eyes.

“Wait, I have no ill…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the intruder was knocked out by the armored figure, then hoisted over his shoulder and strode deeper into the camp.

When the intruder woke up again, he found himself in a tent.

“Who are you?”

Hearing the question, the intruder quickly looked over, only to see the person he had been eager to meet sitting behind a table, quietly watching him.

“Count Angler, please forgive my intrusion, but I really meant no harm, believe me, I didn’t even carry a single weapon!” The intruder spread his arms, signaling Colin to allow a search.

Colin yawned, speaking casually: “Not carrying a weapon can’t prove you mean no harm. Who knows if you’re here to spy on military information? Speak up, who sent you?”

“Count Angler, I am here to see you on the command of Archbishop Agani.”

“Agani?” Colin was stunned, “Then why didn’t you announce your arrival formally? What were you skulking about?”

“Archbishop Agani secretly left Winterfell City this time, she didn’t want anyone to know she had been here, or that she had met with you…”

Seeing the intruder hesitating and stammering, Colin raised an eyebrow and asked impatiently, “What on earth are you trying to hide?”

“Count, please forgive us! The Archbishop has important matters to discuss with you, but she was a little apprehensive, so it caused some inconvenience.

But, if you are willing to meet the Archbishop, you might stay a little longer at Black Thorn Village up ahead tomorrow.”

“Black Thorn Village?” Colin’s gaze shifted to the military map hanging on the wall, quickly finding the village the man mentioned.

In fact, Colin didn’t really want to deal with Agani’s sudden invitation.

Because the assassination attempt by Mr. Ji in White Dew City had made Colin wary of Agani, who was affiliated with Mr. Ji.

Was this sudden meeting with Agani a scheme by Mr. Ji, secretly lurking in the dark, just waiting for Colin to fall into his trap?

However, the way the other party arranged the meeting did put Colin’s mind slightly at ease.

Because he could command the Blood Knight Army to enter Black Thorn Village first, searching thoroughly to ensure there was no danger before he himself entered.

Even if Mr. Ji was really hiding in the village, under the siege of the Blood Knight Army, this Holy Knight would find it much less straightforward to kill Colin.

Combined with his three sixth-level blood slaves and the main army, they could even try to exhaust a Holy Knight to death!

The blood of a Holy Knight!

Even if it was a little risky, the potential gain was too irresistible.

Colin licked his lips, nodding and saying:

“Alright, I will then trouble the Archbishop to wait for me at Black Thorn Village.”

…

The next morning, a squadron of the Blood Knight Army arrived at the Black Thorn Village as advance troops.

The arrival of the ferocious cavalry immediately triggered a riot in the quiet little village.

But soon, the riot was quelled.

The villagers, frightened and confused, were closely watched by the cavalry. In the meantime, every corner of the village was meticulously searched.

Nearing noon, the main forces of the Blood Knight Army finally arrived at Black Thorn Village.

A chilling atmosphere enveloped the entire village, and now the villagers dared not even breathe heavily.

However, at this point, a young woman among the villagers suddenly stood up and walked toward the Blood Knight Army.

“Halt!”

“I wish to see Count Angler.” The young woman stared fearlessly at the officer of the Blood Knight Army.

The officer seemed to realize something and immediately brought the girl before Colin, in the midst of the assembled army.

Colin, intrigued, looked at the average-looking and unfamiliar girl before him and asked, “What is your name?”

The girl smiled brightly, bringing life to her otherwise ordinary face, “My lord, please come with me.”

Colin finally recognized those peach blossom eyes, and a thought struck him, so he immediately followed her.

The young woman led Colin into an ordinary thatched house. After a gentle knock on a spot under the floorboards, the ground abruptly split open, revealing a mysterious underground passage.

Colin looked at the underground passage in disbelief; it had not been discovered by the Blood Knights earlier.

However, this was not surprising. After all, they were rushed, and this underground passage had clearly utilized highly sophisticated disguise techniques. Without finding the right cues, it would be hard to discover.

The young woman glanced at Colin. Without saying a word, she descended into the underground passage.

Colin hesitated for a moment, then followed her.

Both sides of the passage had candlesticks. As the girl lit them while walking, the dim candlelight dispelled the deep darkness.

The passage was rather lengthy with many forks. Without guidance, one could easily get lost.

Colin kept a certain distance from the girl in front of him, prepared to transform and bolt out at a moment’s notice.

After about ten minutes, it seemed they had finally reached their destination.

The girl pushed a smooth stone wall hard, a door abruptly opened. She smiled sweetly at Colin, then walked in alone.

Colin stopped. After carefully sensing for a while, he followed her in.

“Count Angler, it’s been a while”

Indeed, the girl was Archbishop Agani.

Her face was damp, having just removed her disguise, revealing her delicate and charming face.

“It’s been a while, Archbishop Agani.” Colin stood at the doorway, not taking a step further.

Agani seemed not to care about Colin’s wariness, and uncoiled her long, lustrous hair, then started to remove her rough peasant dress.

She seemed unwilling to let such coarse things stay on her body even for a second longer.

All the while, Agani’s exposed body was inevitably displayed before Colin, but she seemed completely unbothered.

Colin took the opportunity to appreciate Agani’s curvaceous figure while teasing,

“So this is your secret hiding place?”

“Yes.” Agani gave Colin a coquettish sidelong smile, “Now you know my biggest secret.”

Colin twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled ambiguously without committing, and then asked, “So, can you tell me why you called me here so mysteriously?”

Agani stopped what she was doing, turned to look at Colin and said gravely,

“Count Angler, someone wants to kill you!”
