In the dark and empty restaurant, Colin carefully unbuttoned his shirt and examined the wound on his chest by candlelight.

The wound had not yet healed, and no treatment had been done.

However, not a single drop of blood flowed out from the wound.

That was because he could now control all the blood in his body.

Perhaps, this was also one of the vampire’s innate abilities.

Colin pressed on both sides of the wound and gently pulled to both sides.

“Hiss!” a tearing pain made him suck in a breath of cold air.

However, Colin was somewhat happy.

At least it meant that his nervous system was still functioning well.

This made Colin feel that he was not too different from a regular person.

The wound was pulled open into a small hole. Through the hole, Colin could clearly see his own heart.

It was no longer beating.

Well, this was a little different from the average person.

Colin was a little sad.

“Sigh.”

With a sigh, Colin released his hands and let the wound slowly close under the pull of the muscles.

Since there was no blood, there was no need to bandage it.

He just needed to observe how long it would take to heal.. if it could still heal.

To be honest, when Colin woke up this morning and found the dagger in his chest, he panicked momentarily.

At that time, he felt that he was probably the most failed transmigrator in history; he died as soon as he arrived.

However, he then found that he couldn’t die.

His heart was pierced, but he still couldn’t die.

As for who stabbed his heart, Colin had no clue at the moment.

He had succeeded in inheriting the memories of his predecessor.

From these memories, he couldn’t find out who had wanted him dead.

However, he had some ideas on how to lure out the killer hidden in the darkness.

But there was no rush.

What he was more interested in now was the new body he had inherited that looked like a vampire.

He buttoned his shirt and looked at the last piece of food on the long table.. garlic.

It was said that vampires were susceptible to garlic.

In his previous world, Colin didn’t know much about the vampires in novels and movies, and he didn’t know what rules of nature the vampires in this world followed.

He had no choice but to experiment slowly.

Colin cut a piece of garlic the size of an ant with a knife and carefully put it into his mouth.

“Urgh!”

Colin threw up on the ground.

It seemed that the vampires in this world were also susceptible to garlic.

“Young Master Colin, are you okay?” The maid guarding the door heard the noise and quickly came in to check on him.

“I’m fine.. Urgh!”

“Young master, I’m afraid you’re sick. I’ll go look for Pastor Miguel right away..”

“No!” Hearing the word “pastor”, Colin was so shocked that he almost jumped out of his skin. He hurriedly stopped her, “No need.. I’m fine..”

“Really? But.. But your face was really pale today, and you’re vomiting now..”

“I said, there’s no need!” Colin rubbed his stomach and forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit while glaring at the maid at the door with a fierce gaze.

As if frightened by Colin’s stern gaze, the maid dared not insist. She could only leave with the words, “Then take care of your body.” Then she scurried out.

“Phew.” Colin heaved a sigh of relief and leaned against the back of the chair, gasping for breath.

A vampire seeking treatment from a priest?

What the hell!

Although the priests in this world might not necessarily detest vampires, Colin did not dare to experiment with his own life.

At least not now.

Perhaps in the future, when he was fully prepared, he would test the churches of this world.

However, it was definitely not the time now.

After a long while, Colin finally calmed down.

He picked up the quill and continued to write on the parchment:

[ I hate garlic. Eating it will cause vomiting. ]

Carefully feeling the changes in his body, Colin added on the parchment:

[ But it’s not fatal. ]

Staring at the words on the parchment, Colin frowned.

That’s not right.

Colin looked at the garlic in front of him and suddenly realized that he had just eaten a very small piece.

It was a matter of dosage.

A small amount of it might not be fatal, but if he ate too much..

Colin looked at the entire piece of garlic in front of him, and his face turned a little green.

He dared not test his theory.

Forget it, just stay away from garlic in the future.

After hesitating for a moment, Colin decided to stop this dangerous experiment.

He rolled up the parchment and put it into his pocket, then stood up and left the dining hall.

The maid guarding outside the hall hurriedly bowed when she saw Colin.

“Tidy up.” Colin glanced at the maid who lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at him. “Don’t tell anyone about this.”

“Yes, young master!”

After passing through the dark corridor, Colin returned to his bedroom.

It was still early, so Colin sat down in front of his desk.

There was a book open on the desk, The Chronicles of the Glorious Empire.

Colin had read this book when he was young, but he had no memory of it.

Now that he had transmigrated here, in order to better understand this world and find out some clues about the existence of vampires, Colin decided to study it again.

However, it was futile.

There were no records of vampires in the book.

Fortunately, Colin did not come up empty-handed. He could be considered to have reviewed the entire history of this human empire.

More than 1,500 years ago, the legendary paladin who served the Lord of Glory, Gunnar Lorenzo, completed the unification of the human race and established the Glorious Empire, becoming the first emperor.

In order to resist foreign enemies around the empire, Gunnar conferred the six Holy Knights under his command as dukes. He ordered them to guard the four cardinal directions as they gradually expand their territory.

After thousands of years, only four of the six great dukes were left.

The Northern Territory where Colin was located was currently the territory of Duke Hilde, one of the four dukes.

The Northern Territory was originally the territory of the trolls, but they had been driven to the frozen land further north by the Hilde family.

The trolls did not give up so easily, they wanted to take back the fertile land. They would march south almost every year.

This year was no exception.

Colin’s father, Baron Angele, was on the front lines of the war.

It was getting late. The candles on the desk were extinguished, and the bedroom was still with silence.

Colin’s breathing was slow and steady, and the owl’s voice came from outside the Kingdom of Graycastle.

When the dark clouds blocked the moonlight, a black shadow suddenly appeared by Colin’s bed.

He looked at Colin, who was sleeping soundly, and a confused expression appeared on his face.

He vividly remembered that last night, he had stabbed a dagger into Colin’s chest.

How did he not die?

The black shadow was very confused, buthe did not hesitate.

He silently pulled out the dagger and slowly placed it above Colin’s chest.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that someone had told him,

“Although most people’s hearts were on the left, there were people who were born with it on the right.”

Hence, this time, he quietly moved the dagger in his hand to the right for a distance.

“Chi!”

The dagger stabbed into Colin’s chest.

The immense pain woke Colin from his dream. He was about to scream when a pair of large hands covered his mouth tightly.

“Wu.. Wu.. Wu..”

Colin’s eyes widened in horror as he stared at the assassin in front of him.

He recognized him!

After a moment, Colin’s struggle gradually subsided.

However, the black figure did not let down his guard.

He waited for a full ten minutes before he moved his hand away from Colin’s mouth.

Then, he pulled out the dagger in Colin’s chest and stabbed him in the throat again.

This time, you should stay dead.
