Countess Schultz felt like she had just had a long dream.
In her dream, she saw the God of Light.
The God of Light touched her forehead gently, as if he had said something.
However, Countess Schultz found that she could not hear the God of Light clearly. It was as if something had cut off the connection between her and the God of Light, preventing them from communicating.
Opening her eyes, Countess Schultz found that she was still in her bedroom in Swan Castle. With the help of the dim moonlight shining through the window, she could clearly see Colin sitting in a chair in front of her, calmly looking at her.
Countess Schultz felt that she should have felt fear, but in fact, Colin seemed to be shrouded in a layer of holy light at this moment.
In a trance, the image of the God of Light that she had seen in her dream overlapped with the face of the young Viscounts in front of her!
This discovery made Countess Schultz inexplicably horrified, but a deep reverence and admiration rooted in the depths of her blood uncontrollably welled up in her heart, making Countess Schultz only want to worship Colin.
"I … What happened to me …" Countess Schultz's eyes were hazy, and she asked in a dreamy tone.
Colin sat upright on the chair, looking down at Countess Schultz who had collapsed on the ground, and said indifferently, "You just died.
"You've just died, but I've forgiven you, so I've granted you rebirth!"
"Rebirth?" Countess Schultz's face was filled with disbelief, but when she lowered her head, she saw the dagger that was still inserted in her heart.
"Pull it out yourself." Colin's indifferent voice sounded again.
Countess Schultz's hands trembled as she grasped the handle of the dagger. Her heart was filled with fear, but she did not hesitate to follow Colin's orders.
"Whoosh!"
The dagger was pulled out.
Countess Schultz cried out in pain, but she did not see the blood splattering everywhere as she had expected.
Moreover, she even felt that this wound that should have been fatal did not exist at all.
"From now on, you will be bathed in the grace of the God of Light, and you will not die so easily." Colin opened his mouth again and tried to trick him. Perhaps even Pope Gregory himself might not be able to do a better job than him.
The fear on Countess Schultz's face was gradually replaced by devotion. She prostrated herself on the ground and said, "Praise the Lord!"
Raising his head again, Count Schultz looked at Colin with eyes full of reverence. "Are you God's chosen one?" he asked.
Colin nodded and said, "Yes, but you should keep my identity to yourself. You are not allowed to tell anyone else."
"I understand!" Count Schultz nodded.
After experiencing the "miracle" that happened to him, Count Schultz had unreserved trust in Colin.
Colin carefully observed every tiny change of Count Schultz. He wanted to see if transforming into a blood descendant could really turn an enemy into a friend.
After all, the Blood Descendants had self-awareness. That was why Colin had been very careful to avoid converting them into enemies. He was worried that the Blood Descendants would show respect on the surface but betray him behind his back.
Now, it seemed like Count Schultz had been brainwashed. He no longer had any hostility towards Colin.
However, Colin could not make a conclusion yet. He still needed to verify it further.
"Tell me, what's going on with Bishop John? Who asked you to pretend to be Vera's biological mother? "
Faced with the same question again, Count Schultz decisively did not quibble anymore. Instead, he answered honestly,
Instead, he said honestly, "It all started ten days ago. At that time, a man who looked exactly like the previous Duke Of St. Hilde suddenly came to me …"
"The Duke Of St. Hilde?" Colin's heart skipped a beat. He could not help but exclaim in surprise.
"Yes. Although he looked exactly like the previous Duke, there was a big difference in his tone and demeanor. Of course, I could tell.
It was only because this man also had the strength of a Paladin that I did not dare to resist. I could only follow his orders.
This man must have been injured, so he asked us to help him catch Bishop John and heal him.
Also, he knew a lot of secrets about the House of Saint Hilde, including Vera's background. That was why he asked me to pretend to be Vera's biological mother. He said that there was no need to worry about me being exposed, because Vera's real mother did not even dare to acknowledge her as her daughter … "
Hearing Count Schultz's story, Colin frowned and asked, "What happened after that? How did Bishop John's body end up in the basement of Swan Castle?"
"When we saw John's body, Lucien and I were also quite shocked. I asked Lucien to warn that man, and he also knew that you were going to search the whole castle. I thought that he would hide somewhere else for the time being, but … "
"Who would have thought that he would betray you all!" Colin immediately understood.
Count Schultz nodded, "Yes. I think he saw that the Duke did not enter Swan City, and he felt that the Schultz family had lost its value. So he decided to provoke the conflict between us and the House of Saint Hilde."
Colin thought for a while and asked again, "Do you have any contact with the Morrison family?"
"The Morrison family?" Count Schultz was a bit surprised that Colin would suddenly mention this family. He paused for a second and then shook his head, "We've never been close to the Morrison family, and we haven't had any contact with them recently."
Colin was very cautious about Count Schultz's frankness.
He could not check the consciousness of his blood kin, so he did not know whether she was lying or not.
However, judging from what Count Schultz said earlier, Colin was inclined to believe that she was telling the truth.
After all, if she wanted to lie, she would not have made up a story about the Duke Of St. Hilde coming back from the dead. It was too unbelievable.
If she was telling the truth, then what was going on with this Duke Of St. Hilde?
Could it be that the Morrison family had really resurrected the Duke Of St. Hilde?
Colin could not help but think of the strange blood pool under the clock tower of Phoenix-Butterfly Castle.
But then, he remembered that Count Schultz had said that this Duke Of St. Hilde's demeanor, tone, habits, and so on were different from the real duke. So, perhaps he had not come back from the dead, but came back from the dead in someone else's body!
At this moment, Colin suddenly remembered Prince Lexi's reminder that Mister Chi was not dead.
Thinking of this, those isolated doubts seemed to be strung together by a string.
Although this conjecture was too unbelievable, it seemed to be the most reasonable explanation.
Mister Chi had used the corpse of the Duke Of St. Hilde to come back to life!
Colin suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill. That terrifying person who had plunged the Northern Frontier into misery and suffering was actually still hiding in some corner, and could come out at any time to stir up another bloody storm!
Perhaps, the Schultz family was the result of the other party's small experiment.
Colin narrowed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.
He knew that Mister Chi was not invulnerable. At least, the other party only dared to hide in the shadows now, even if he had already taken over the body of a Holy Knight.
That's right!
Although he had successfully come back from the dead in someone else's body, the Duke Of St. Hilde had suffered heavy injuries before his death.
No wonder he wanted to kidnap Bishop John, he probably wanted Bishop John to treat his injuries.
Colin immediately became alert. He had to inform the church of this matter. If Mister Chi wanted to recover from his injuries, he would definitely kidnap more high-ranking priests of the church.
In addition, he also thought of Prince Lexi.
Wasn't this person tracking Mister Chi all over the world? If he revealed this information to him, presumably this Holy Knight of the San Lorenzo family would be willing to help the Northern Frontier get rid of this evil!
Thinking of this, Colin finally let out a sigh of relief.
His gaze once again returned to Count Schultz.
The Countess, who had been preparing to sleep, was now wearing a simple corset dress. She did not have any jewelry on her, but the dress was well-tailored, vividly outlining her exquisite curves. The semi-circular neckline revealed her delicate collarbone and snow-white skin.
Coupled with her current submissive posture, it accentuated her mature, beautiful, and seductive charm.
Colin forcibly retracted his gaze, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.
Colin still needed to give this blood descendant, who had been transformed from an enemy, a final test.
He really wanted to know if this blood descendant would betray him.
"Count Schultz, next, I need you to do this..."
