With doubts in his heart, Gray walked to the door of Jinbi Hall and knocked gently.
"Come in!"
Viscount Fergus's voice sounded inside. Gray pushed open the door and saw two other people in the living room besides the Fergus family members.
One of them is a young man wearing formal clothes. He has an extremely ordinary appearance. If he puts on a set of civilian clothes and then throws him into a pile of civilians, he will definitely look like a civilian.
The other person is a girl. Unlike the young man, the girl has a beautiful oval face, fair skin, and wears a light blue slim dress, showing a slender figure.
"This is my third son Gray."
Viscount Fergus introduced both parties.
"Gray, these are Master Tang En and Miss Hazel, who are from the Earl Ford family."
"I have met Master Tang En and Miss Hazel."
Gray greeted the two.
He had met these two people at Sidney Castle, and he had already known the name of Don Ford. As the leader of the next generation of the Ford family, Bernal introduced him to him.
As for this girl, I don’t know much about it, but she seems to be one of Earl Ford’s daughters.
"Hi, nice to meet you!"
Tang En and Hazel both stood up and greeted Gray politely.
Tang En looked at Gray with a hint of caution and politeness, while Hazel looked at Gray with a hint of curiosity and suspicion.
"Master Tang En and the others are here specially to deliver invitations to the auction!"
Viscount Fergus motioned for Gray to sit down, and then asked the servant serving next to him to hand an already opened invitation letter to Gray.
Gray reached out and opened it. There were some polite invitations in the front, and a list of valuable items that would appear in the auction at the back.
Gray browsed down one by one, including runes, various jewelry, and even magic items.
As an Earl family, the Ford family has good friends with master refiners, so they can get magic weapons from time to time, such as the Iron Rhinoceros inner armor that Gray is currently wearing.
Gray browsed through them one by one, but he was not very interested in most of them. However, when he came to the last item, he couldn't help but feel slightly happy.
"Magic sword?"
For the Blood Warrior, good weapons can often bring out stronger combat power. The last battle with the Iron Arm Ape also proved that he indeed needs a better weapon.
He didn't expect that sword-shaped magic weapons would appear at Ford's auction, which made him excited. Although similar auctions had been held several times this year, this was the first time this year for sword-shaped magic weapons.
As for whether he has the ability to take the photo, Gray is not worried at all. The Fergus family now has sufficient funds.
This time, the Fergus family earned 1.1 million gold coins, and a little change was enough to purchase it.
His contribution to obtaining those imperial era gold coins was huge. He did not believe that Viscount Fergus was not willing to pay even this small amount of money.
"This is a weapon refined by Master Roland. It is a magic weapon with thunder and lightning properties. After being activated, the sword will cause lightning damage."
Seeing Gray's interest, Tang En said with a smile.
"Thunder and lightning attributes?"
Gray's eyes couldn't help but brighten. The effect of thunder and lightning is not only reflected in the damage.
Weapons with thunder and lightning properties can not only cause damage to the enemy after hitting the enemy, but can also paralyze the enemy and make their movements slow.
To a certain extent, in addition to having the lightning attribute, this magic weapon also has another hidden attribute that can cause paralysis to the opponent. It should be more valuable than Viscount Fergus's magic sword. .
At this moment, Gray felt someone pulling on his clothes next to him. He looked sideways and saw Sarah, who was wearing a white dress, looking at the invitation in his hand with great interest.
Next to her, a giant tiger with white hair was lying there quietly.
"Brother, I want to see it!"
Seeing Gray's gaze, she immediately giggled.
"for you."
Looking at her expression, Gray could guess that she was very interested in this auction. He gave her a funny look and handed the invitation to her.
"Lord Viscount, could this one be the cold tiger from back then?"
Tang En asked looking at Han Hu lying next to Sarah.
When the Locke family and the Fergus family competed for the cold tiger cubs, the Ford family had also heard about it.
"Indeed, this is the cold tiger from back then!"
Viscount Fergus nodded.
"Congratulations, Lord Viscount, this cold tiger should be able to reach adulthood in more than a year at most."
Tang En looked at it carefully and then said.
For the Viscount family, it is difficult to obtain blood beast cubs, but for the Ford family with their mad blood warriors, although it is equally difficult, it is not impossible.
In fact, Tang En himself received a blood beast cub during his coming-of-age ceremony, so he has a strong say in the matter of blood beasts.
"Thanks."
Viscount Fergus smiled.
After having lunch with the Fergus family, the Ford family said goodbye and left.
In a carriage pulled by two strong horses, with images of lions wrapped in flames on both sides of the carriage, Tang En and Hazel were sitting in it.
"Second brother, you are too polite to the Fergus family."
Hazel looked at her second brother Tang En in confusion.
She knew what kind of character her second brother was. He seemed to have no arrogance, but in fact he was extremely arrogant.
When faced with people she looked down upon, or her family, she would remain indifferent and distant, but this time, she could clearly feel how polite her second brother was to the Fergus family.
This made her wonder. What was there about the Fergus family that made her second brother look at him differently
"Why, are you still complaining about your father asking you to come with me to deliver the invitation?"
Tang En didn't answer, smiled slightly, and joked.
"Humph, I really don't know what my father thinks."
Hazel said dissatisfied.
Her lips were slightly pouty, but it did not affect her image at all. Instead, it gave her a unique character.
She had some objections to her father asking her and her second brother to come in person to deliver the invitation letter.
As direct descendants of the Ford family, although they did not have a title, their status was extremely high, and they were worthy of delivering the invitation in person. Usually, only the Smalley family and the Sidney family were the only ones.
Under normal circumstances, the Viscount family would only send one steward to deliver the message, but this time, her father uncharacteristically ordered the two of them to come in person, which puzzled her.
"Okay, don't be angry. There is a reason for father to do this."
Tang En smiled and said.
"What reason?"
Hazel looked curiously at her second brother Tang En, the future heir of the Ford family.
"this… "
Tang En was a little hesitant. Since his father didn't tell Hazel, it was because he didn't want Hazel to know.
"If you don't tell me, I'll ignore you from now on!"
Hazel turned her head to the side and pretended to be angry.
"Okay, okay, I say, but don't tell anyone else about this."
Tang En said helplessly "surrender".
"In fact, that Gray Fergus is already a high-ranking Blood Warrior. In the battle between counts, if nothing else happens, the Fergus family should win."
"How is this possible, a high-ranking blood warrior? Isn't he only 17 years old this year? Could my father have made a mistake?"
Hazel looked at her second brother Tang En in shock.
"There should be no mistake, because this is what Master Saroyan told his father himself."
Tang En said with certainty.
"You also know what a 17-year-old high-ranking blood warrior represents. As long as the opponent does not die midway, it is certain that he will become a mad blood warrior in the future, and there is even the possibility of becoming a barbaric blood warrior. If it really reaches that stage, it will be the Ford family who wants to It’s up to him to ask for help.”
There was a long silence in the carriage. Hazel was shocked by the news, while Tang En was thinking about the Ford family's future development strategy.
