Early the next morning, Colin said goodbye to Count Morrison.
Count Morrison brought his family and personally sent Colin and Vera to the gate of Floral City.
However, Colin did not see Sir Franco Morrison, whom he had met by chance the night before, in the farewell procession.
The weather today was good. The sky was clear and the wind was not dry.
Colin and the others sped up and headed south.
In the evening, Colin ordered them to stop moving forward and set up camp to rest.
After a simple dinner, everyone went to bed early.
But as the night deepened, Colin sneaked out of the camp.
When he came to an uninhabited wilderness, his body suddenly emitted a blood-colored smoke.
As the smoke lingered, countless strange runes appeared in the air and then disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, Colin's body gradually swelled.
Puchi!
A pair of black bat wings emerged from his back and then stretched out.
Whoosh!
Amidst the raging waves of air, Colin shot up into the sky like an arrow released from a bow, shooting in the direction he had come from.
…
Phoenix-Butterfly Castle.
After Colin and the others left, the castle returned to its usual tranquility.
Everything seemed to be the same as usual. Dinner started at six o 'clock and ended at seven o' clock. Count Morrison would patrol the castle as usual after dinner, and Madam Grace would go to the church to pray as usual. Knight Franco, on the other hand, would eat alone in his bedroom as usual.
After ten o 'clock, the lights in Phoenix-Butterfly Castle gradually extinguished as usual.
Perhaps the only difference was that the southeast corner of the castle was brighter than usual.
When the patrolling guards saw this, they quickly went to check.
"Fire! Fire! "
Immediately, the shouting woke the entire Phoenix-Butterfly Castle up.
Groups of patrolling guards rushed to the southeast corner of the castle. Count Morrison also immediately got up from the bed. He did not have time to put on his armor and rushed out with a knight sword.
At the same time, in the northwest corner of Phoenix-Butterfly Castle, a bloody and strange massacre began.
"What is it?" A guard in front of the clock tower seemed to feel something flying over his head, but when he raised his head, he could only see the dark night sky.
Tonight, the sky was overcast, and the moon could not be seen. Even the starlight was completely covered.
The guard turned around and was about to ask his companion when he suddenly realized that his companion's head was gone.
The headless corpse was still standing in the same place, blood spurting out from its empty neck.
"Enemy …"
Crack.
He only managed to say half of the word "enemy attack" before it was cut off. At the same time, his head was cut off.
Colin threw away the head in his hand and walked towards the door of the clock tower.
He tried to push it twice, but it didn't budge.
Clang!
Colin simply barged in.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding guards. Colin soon heard a series of footsteps behind him.
However, before the footsteps could get close, a series of screams and the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
Colin no longer cared about what was behind him. He lowered his head slightly and entered the clock tower.
There were a few torches on the walls of the clock tower, and the light from the torches illuminated the stairs leading to the top. However, Colin did not walk up the stairs. Instead, he lay on the ground and sniffed carefully.
The smell of blood came from underground!
Soon, he locked onto his target's position.
Boom!
The marble floor was smashed into pieces by Colin's foot, and his huge body fell through the hole in the floor.
Boom!
The drop was not big, probably only about ten meters. Colin stood firmly on the ground.
Although smoke and dust were everywhere, and gravel flew everywhere, he still opened his eyes wide and stared at the darkness in front of him.
When the dust settled, nothing came out of the darkness.
Colin's expression softened. He felt that he might have been too cautious.
Flapping his bat wings, Colin flew up the clock tower hall, took a torch from the wall, and returned to the basement.
With the help of the torch's light, Colin could see clearly that this was not a basement, but a sealed and damp cave.
There were cold and hard stones on both sides of the cave. One end was blocked by a pile of rocks, and the other end extended inwards. He did not know where it led to.
Since he was already here, Colin naturally would not be afraid. He immediately walked forward.
After turning a corner, what appeared in front of Colin was a long stone corridor. However, the stones here were a little strange. They were actually emitting a faint light. Even without the help of a torch, he could roughly see the path under his feet.
Colin continued forward. The smell of blood in his nose became more and more intense.
Moreover, he could even hear the faint sound of water flowing.
After walking for a while, the sound of water gradually became louder and louder.
Not long later, Colin saw the end of the passage in front of him. A curtain of water hung down from the top of the cave. The water splashed in all directions, sparkling and translucent. Finally, it fell into a small pool at the end of the passage.
Colin had never thought that there would be such a place hidden under the Phoenix-Butterfly Castle's clock tower!
However, at this moment, Colin was not in the mood to admire this underground river.
Stepping into the pool, the ice-cold water did not slow down Colin's movements. He walked towards the curtain of water in large strides, as if he was sure that behind the curtain of water, there would definitely be a target he was pursuing.
Splash!
The transparent and clear water curtain wet Colin's body.
Behind the curtain of water was another deep and serene tunnel. The stone walls on the side of the tunnel also emitted a faint light, allowing Colin to see the path clearly without the help of a torch.
Along the way, nothing happened. However, this made Colin even more vigilant.
This was too abnormal!
For a moment, he even planned to go back the way he came. However, since he had already come here, if he did not figure out what secrets the Morrison Family was hiding, he would definitely not be satisfied.
This family that had always kept a low profile in the Northern Frontier was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface!
While thinking, Colin suddenly stopped. This was because he had already reached the end of the tunnel.
There, impressively, was a huge sculpture of a butterfly.
The insignia of the Morrison Family was the "Golden-tailed Butterfly". However, the tail of this butterfly sculpture was not golden.
Instead, it was blood-colored!
Colin looked at the blood-tailed butterfly in front of him and carefully approached it.
After passing by this sculpture, he unexpectedly arrived at a rather spacious underground space.
Just as he entered this place, a strong smell of blood assaulted his senses, almost causing Colin to suffocate.
Considering his identity as a vampire, Colin increasingly felt that there was a terrifying scene ahead.
Sure enough, when he clearly saw the situation in this underground space, his whole person was stunned on the spot.
Blood!
Endless and endless blood!
The stone walls were covered in blood. The air was filled with the smell of blood. The ground …
It was completely a huge pool of blood!
Above the pool of blood, there seemed to be a huge spiderweb-like thing.
And within this spiderweb, there were many "cocoons".
Within the cocoons, there were clearly living people!
Traces of blood continuously dripped from these living people, falling into the pool of blood.
Seeing this scene before his eyes, even as a vampire, Colin, who had the bloodthirsty characteristic, could not help but feel a bone-chilling chill from the bottom of his heart.
What kind of Asura hell was this?
What did the Morrison Family want to do?
Bang!
Just as Colin was in a daze, an armored man suddenly scuttled out of the pool of blood.
Brandishing a blood-red longsword, he directly chopped down at Colin!
