A few days later.
Fergus Family White Rock Training Ground.
Bang!
The two figures fought together, and then quickly separated.
One of the figures, wearing a khaki battle uniform, has a thin face, is over 1.7 meters tall, and is holding an ironwood sword. He is Lord Linde, the commander of the castle soldiers.
Another figure had black hair, wore a gray battle uniform, had a young face, and also held an ironwood sword in his hand. It was Gray.
Uh-huh!
Gray stepped lightly on the ground, took a few steps, and appeared beside Lord Linde. The ironwood sword in his hand was like a streak of black light, slashing towards Lord Linde.
Uh-huh!
As for Lord Lind, when Gray approached, he was already changing direction and adjusting his center of gravity. When the ironwood sword in Gray's hand was slashed out, he happened to be facing Gray. The ironwood sword in his hand was swept out to block Gray's attack. sword.
Bang!
The weapons collided, and Lord Linde took a few steps back before steadying himself.
Bang bang bang!
Gray retreated quickly, as if he couldn't bear the power of Lord Linde's sword and kept retreating.
But his retreating steps were extremely neat and did not appear disordered at all.
Moreover, after taking a few steps back, he slipped and slid out quickly like a loach.
In fact, he was using the force of the repulsion from the sword to distance himself from Lord Linde and move around behind Lord Linde.
Uh-huh!
Sure enough, the next moment he appeared behind Lord Linde, with the ironwood sword in his hand drawing black light and slashing towards Lord Linde's back.
Bang!
Lord Linde quickly turned around, swept out the ironwood sword in his hand, and blocked Gray's sword.
It's just that compared to before, the sword was a little hasty, the force was much weaker, and the angle was also a little worse because of the haste, and he was shocked and took several big steps back.
Gray once again used the force of the counter-shock to speed up his movement and attack Lord Linde from the other side.
Boom, boom, boom!
In the field, Gray continued to use his speed to attack Lord Linde from all angles, while Lord Linde was finding it increasingly difficult to resist.
Bang!
After another hasty resistance, Lord Linde was shaken to the point where his center of gravity was almost unstable. He didn't need much, just one more sword, and he would probably be defeated.
But at this moment, Gray took the initiative to distance himself from Lord Linde and stopped fighting.
This is Gray trying to save face for Lord Linde. After all, the opponent has been a high-ranking Blood Warrior for many years. If he is defeated by Gray, a man who has become a high-ranking Blood Warrior not long ago, he will definitely lose face.
Lord Linde could naturally see Gray's intentions. Looking at Gray like this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Master Gray's strength is no worse than that of the veteran high-ranking Blood Warriors!"
He still remembered the scene when Gray first came to the castle last year, and the blood beast's blood was robbed by Ellis, and he asked him for help.
At that time, the opponent was not even a match for Ellis, but now, the opponent's strength has not only surpassed Ellis, but even he, a high-level blood warrior, has been surpassed.
With such a growth rate and such potential, as long as he doesn't die midway, becoming a mad blood warrior is inevitable. He couldn't help but feel happy that his original decision was indeed the right one.
"Uncle Linde is joking, I still have a lot to learn!"
And Gray couldn't help but sigh slightly.
He didn't even use Cold Tiger's power trait, but only used Wind Wolf's speed talent to defeat Lord Linde.
Once upon a time, Lord Linde was so powerful in his eyes. Every time he left the castle, he would feel at ease with the protection of the other party. But now, he has surpassed him.
There is no doubt that his growth this year has been terrifying.
At night, the purple crescent moon hangs high over Fergus Castle, shrouding Fergus Castle in a purple mist.
After receiving the notice from the servant, Gray and Bernal came to the door of Viscount Fergus's study. They couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.
At this point in time, they had already washed up and were getting ready to sleep. What on earth could have made Viscount Fergus summon them in such a hurry? Could it be something about the Shadow Snake
Boom, boom, boom!
"Father."
After knocking on the study door, Gray and Bernal shouted.
"Come in!"
In the study, Viscount Fergus's voice came immediately.
The two pushed the door open and saw Viscount Fergus sitting in the study, at the tea table on the right side of the door.
But at this time, besides Viscount Fergus, there was another person in the room.
This is a blond young man with a tall figure, a strong body and well-proportioned facial features.
The most special thing is that he has a unique temperament that makes people look at him involuntarily.
Seeing this man, Gray and Bernal couldn't help but feel slightly surprised, and then shouted respectfully.
"Master Saroyan!"
This man is surprisingly the eldest son of the Marquis of Sidney and the future heir of the Sidney family, Saroyan Sidney.
"Good evening you two, please take a seat!"
Saroyan smiled slightly and motioned for Gray and Bernal to sit down at the coffee table.
Gray and Bernal looked at each other, walked over, and sat at the tea table. They already had a rough guess about what they were going to say next.
Seeing the two of them sitting down, Saroyan looked at Gray among the two and said.
"Polly has already told me about the last assassination. My father and I were both shocked and broke out in cold sweats. Fortunately, Gray, you were the first to discover the group of assassins. On behalf of the Sidney family, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
"You're welcome, Master Saroyan. I just discovered it by accident."
Gray shook his head.
"The discovery was accidental, but being able to stay calm and calmly come up with a solution in that situation is not accidental. It is indeed thanks to you that Pearly and Master Dulu are safe."
Saroyan smiled.
"I heard from Pearl that you like books about blood beasts. The Sidney family has quite a few. If you have time in the future, you might as well visit the Sidney family as a guest."
"Thank you, Master Saroyan."
Gray's eyes lit up and he thanked.
The books about blood beasts were indeed what he wanted to read, and he did want the Sidney family to read them.
However, the Sidney family is a marquis family, and he is just the illegitimate son of Viscount Fergus. In terms of status, he is not qualified to visit the Sidney family alone without Viscount Fergus accompanying him.
As the lord of such a large territory, Viscount Fergus naturally had various matters to deal with, so it was impossible for him to take him to the Sidney family just so that he could borrow books.
Now with Saroyan's invitation, he can go to the Sidney family without the help of Viscount Fergus, which is undoubtedly a good thing for him.
"Master Saroyan, when you come here this time, have you confirmed that the Shadow Snake is lurking in the Oliver Viscounty?"
Seeing that the conversation between Saroyan and Gray had come to an end, Viscount Fergus asked.
"It has been confirmed that he is lurking in a village not far from Oliver's Castle."
Saroyan clenched his fists, with a chill in his eyes.
"He eats everything he eats, is entrusted by the Sidney family, and enjoys all the preferential treatment given by the Sidney family, but secretly colludes with the Snake of Shadows."
Viscount Fergus asked.
"Master Saroyan, do you need the Fergus family to participate in this siege of the Shadow Snake?"
"No."
Saroyan shook his head.
"Early tomorrow morning, we will launch a campaign against the Shadow Snake. At that time, the Oliver family will be handed over to the Fergus family, regardless of life or death."
"Yes, Master Saroyan."
Feeling Saroyan's strong murderous intent, Viscount Fergus' eyelids twitched and he responded hurriedly.
Next to him, Gray was thoughtful when he heard the time set by Saroyan to encircle and suppress the Shadow Snake.
The blood magic practiced by the Shadow Snake can lurk in the shadows, and it also has night vision. A sneak attack at night will be detrimental to the Sidney family, so the Sidney family will time the sneak attack during the day.
As for why it is in the morning and not at other times, it should be to take advantage of the Shadow Snake assassin to attack in the morning when the vigilance is lowest.
After staying for a while, Saroyan said goodbye and left. After the three Grays sent him away from the castle, they returned to the study and began to discuss how he should act. He was destined to have no sleep tonight.
