Oriden. Pirenod, the last member of the royal family of Pirenod, who is now dead.

In the history of the empire, because of the fear of the orcs, and unilaterally opened the Alterac Mountains to the orcs, which directly led to the orc siege of the "mad" king Aiden. Pirenod was his uncle, and according to the original Alterac succession law, Oriden was not eligible to inherit the throne.

Especially after the Presto family was entrusted with the management of Alterac by the alliance at that time, the royal family of Pirenord has lost actual control of the ancestral land, but again, no matter how rotten a system is, when it is on the verge of collapse, it will not be a bunch of cowards.

There will always be people who will come forward and try to save it, and Oriden is one of those old nobles who tried to save the rule of the Pirenod royal family, and his personal experience is, frankly, definitely bumpy and bumpy.

Oriden is 32 years old.

Eight years earlier, he had served at Dunhold Castle in the Hills Hills, when he was looked at differently by the castle's general, Blackmore, and if the tragedy that followed had not happened, Oridon would probably have become a general in the kingdom of Alterac, or even further, a field marshal.

But the destruction of Dunhold Castle buried this future.

That night, after being rescued from the castle by the Chaldean priest, and looking at the corpse of General Blackmore, whom he admired the most, O'Raidon, who had lost his purpose in life, returned home, a not-so-ornate house in Alterac City, and he became a drunkard.

But the nightmare didn't let him go so easily, and one night shortly after he returned home, the orcs and death knights raided Alterac City, setting the city on fire, and Auriden, who was out hunting at the time, was lucky to escape the disaster, but after hearing that His Majesty Aiden and all the royal family members of Pirenod had been slashed by the orcs, who were imprisoned in the royal palace, Oriden had a bad premonition.

Since then, Oriden. Pirenod changed careers and lived invisibly, living in the hills of Hillsbrad and the Arathi Highlands that he was most familiar with, until a few years later, when he heard that the Human Empire had been rebuilt and that the Emperor of Lothar would rule directly over Alterac, Oriden returned to his homeland after a long absence.

But he didn't want to get on with his life, but to make a last-ditch fight for his family name and bloodline... To put it more bluntly, Oriden returned to Alterac to commit suicide... He's had enough of the misery of being displaced, he's had enough of the nightmares.

At this time, he was approached by the Syndicate, a secret gathering of nobles from the original Pirenod dynasty, who needed a signature figure to gather power, and the weak Auriden was a perfect fit.

This time, though, it's time for Oriden to finally get on the move, because he's met a woman... A woman who could save him from his nightmare.

"Whew"

Under Nassa's gaze, and under the gaze of the rest of the inner circle at the top of the syndicate, Oriden reached out and slowly removed the black and white mask from his face, revealing a slightly pale, and somewhat emaciated, but with a hint of fortitude and handsomeness.

The bloodline of the Pinoride family is still very good, coupled with several years of exile, so that Oriden is full of a kind of free and very manly taste, and under the harmony of the blood of Sarein, Oriden's face is a little feminine, especially the eyes that shine with blood and have a hint of gentleness, which almost immediately attracted the attention of the young "magician" lady.

He wore a old-fashioned dress that only the old nobles would wear, a frugal and modest black, a white shirt and bow tie, and a stray black hair, which made him look personable.

If Tyrion were here, he would surely comment that this was definitely the most perfect template for a human vampire in his imagination... That's right, Nasa came to the Syndicate, and Nasa controlled the Syndicate, not just to gather intelligence... She has another purpose, another mission.

Create a team of human vampires... to serve as a fifth column to break into the upper echelons of the Human Empire.

And in the second half of last year, after obtaining the heir of the bat god Hirik, the blood lords have made a great breakthrough in the research of how to control the blood servants, and now Oridon is standing in front of the syndicate leader. Pirenod was the first successful product of such a breakthrough.

Where does he look like he's 32? It's like a rejuvenation, and it looks like a 20-year-old at most!

This scene made everyone's eyes widen.

"That's it?"

The old man "Navigator", who was very calm just now, became no longer calm after seeing Oriden's face, he stretched out his fingers tremblingly, trying to touch Oriden's cheek, in his memory, Oriden's face was a scar, but now, the scar disappeared, the face was smooth like a newborn baby, even a group of ordinary people, can clearly feel the strong vitality of Oriden's body like a new life.

"That's what you promised... New life? ”

The navigator turned his head and looked at Nassa, who picked up a glass of blood wine, shook it at him, and said in a languid voice:

"Yes, Mr. Navigator, you really don't care about worldly rewards, but I won't repay you with those ordinary money, I know that in your heart, there is a reluctant soul hidden, as a great nobleman who once ruled under the royal family of Pirenod, you once had everything, even after the fall of the royal family of Pirenod, you did not lose your wealth, but there is one thing... You can't get it back anyway. ”

"Life, time, in the passage of time, you become old, like a traveler who follows the river of time all the way down, and is about to reach the end, all those good things in life will be destroyed by the fear of death, every day, every day you live now, is a cruel gift... Who wouldn't want life to be turned backwards? Who wouldn't want to embrace a new life? ”

Nassa drank the blood wine from the cup, she stood up, and placed a blood-red gem in front of the "navigator", which flowed with a liquid like blood, and she said in a seductive voice:

"Now that it's right in front of your eyes, embrace it, say goodbye to death, and enjoy your new life to the fullest... You see, in the future of immortality, what does it matter if your old lord can reign again in Alterac? Old man, people, sometimes live a little more selfishly, and you will reap more happiness. ”

"Immortality?"

In the face of this strange temptation, even the "Duke" who is in the prime of life can't help but swallow his saliva, let alone the "navigator" who is already dying, even if he has unimaginable wealth, but as Nassa said, those riches can't buy him to be young again.

But after all, the "Navigator" was once the top nobleman of the Alterac Kingdom, even now, most of the land and industry have been cleared by the Human Empire, he still has unimaginable influence in this land, this perennial high position has brought him enough sanity, his breathing is heavy, but he did not reach out to hold the blood gem in Nasa's hand, he gritted his teeth and asked:

"So, at what cost?"

"That's smart... Of course there is a price. ”

Nassa stepped forward, shoved the cold blood gem into the Navigator's palm, and said to him:

"The price is... The entire Barov family will be loyal to the new king, and in return, His Majesty will generously grant you true eternal life... It can also create opportunities for you to return to the imperial system, what you have to do is very simple, just the necessary moment, pass on some necessary news to us, and that's it. ”

"How would you know!"

The old navigator let out a scream as his greatest secret was revealed, but the next moment, anger slipped away from the old man, and he was silent for a few seconds, then reached out and removed the mask from his face, and after seeing the wrinkled face, Miss Magician and the Duke said his name at the same time.

"Count Alex Barov..."

No wonder the "Navigator" has terrifying power and endless wealth under his command... No wonder...

The Barov family, which is the top nobles of the Alterac Kingdom and even the entire Human Alliance, can describe the prosperity of their family in one sentence, the entire South Sea Town, Tarenmere, Keldaron and Brill The four large towns were once the private land of the Barov family, and in the time before the Second World War, the Barov family was one of the ancient nobles who really stood at the top of human history.

It's a pity, Aiden. Pirenord's madness ruined all of this, but even now, like a rat crossing the street, the wealth in the hands of the Barov family can still make people shudder.

"So, what do you say? Mr. Alex Barov. ”

Nassa sat back in her chair and looked at the old-fashioned old nobleman in front of her, she saw the deepest longing in Count Barov's eyes, and she knew very well what choice he would make.

"Bang"

The blood gems were crushed by his hands, and the cold blood that flowed entangled in Barov's old hands, he looked down at his fingers, watching the living liquid seep under his skin, watching the wrinkles on his hands fade at a speed visible to the naked eye, his skin became smooth again, and a new power slowly grew in his body.

"The metamorphosis will last for seven days."

Nassa's voice was distant as if it came from another world:

"The blood of Sarein will turn your time back forever, sleep, Count Barov, when you wake up, you will see a new world... And, at that time, you should ask your new king... Allegiance. ”

As she spoke, Nassa reached out and pushed Count Barov, who had fallen into a coma, forward, and at the moment when his body fell, two figures of the Blood Watchers appeared strangely behind the Count, supported him, and sent him into the dark room on the other side of the room, where there was a carefully prepared walnut coffin, decorated with cozy velvet and fragrant flower petals.

There will be the residence of Count Barov for these 7 days.

After doing all this, Nassa turned around, one hand crossed over her waist, while Oriden stood silently beside Nassa, the two of them staring at the two people in front of them, the Duke felt the pressure, as an assassin, although he was not as intimidated as the "Duke" of Ravenhold Manor, he was definitely a good player.

But after seeing the Blood Watchers' movements, he no longer had confidence in his skills, and it was much easier for him to make a choice for the big-chested noblewoman "Magician" around him.

The female mage, who was also from the ruined aristocratic house of Alterac, generously took off her mask, revealing her pretty baby face, and then gritted her teeth and said to Nassa:

"Give me a gem too..."

"You're thinking too much, cutie."

Nasa scoffed, "Blood Gems are only given to valuable members, but if you really want to join us... Dabel. Countess Montrose, are you really ready? ”

The female mage looked at Nasa with some fear, nodded like a little rabbit, Nasa nuzzled at Oriden beside her, and the next moment, Auriden's figure turned into a black bat swarm and disappeared in place, and when she reappeared, she stood behind the female mage, he stretched out his hands, gently hugged the female mage Dabel, and then lowered his head and kissed her slender neck.

The two were as intimate as real lovers, and after the faint pain in their necks, a strange pleasure spread through the female mage's body, causing her to collapse into Oriden's arms, and she heard Oriden's whisper like a lover:

"You... It's mine. ”

"I... I do..."

Nasa looked at the scene in front of her a little speechlessly, this big-chested girl is really easy to deceive, however, she still has one last trouble, she looked at the "duke" who quietly retreated, she asked in a cold voice:

"Duke Facurrest, what is your answer?"

"Boom"

Three sharp and cold knife wheels from the shadows behind them, against the Duke of Facurrest's body, feeling the coldness coming from behind, the high-level assassin Fakurest, the former nobleman of the Alterac Kingdom, gritted his teeth, and finally threw away the dagger in his hands.

"Alright, I'll join you!"
