Three days later, a cavalry team of more than 300 people came towards the Viscount Fergus Castle built on three steep hills.
The leader was a middle-aged man with blond hair, riding a tall bloody war horse, and wearing a golden battle suit smelted with precious magic metal, shining in the sun.
Behind him, slightly behind, were a burly man in a brown uniform, and a bearded man in a beige uniform.
After the two, there were seven men all wearing black battle uniforms.
This is the group of Viscount Fergus who went to exterminate the fleeing thieves.
The door to Viscount Fergus's castle has long been opened. At the door, stood Gray, Sarah, Mrs. Milan, Bernal, Ellis, Caroline, and Lord Lynde, as well as the three housekeepers and two head maids in the castle. , and many servants.
They have been waiting here for almost an hour.
Yesterday, Viscount Fergus had already sent someone to notify them in advance. They knew that Viscount Fergus and his party would be returning today, so they were waiting at the gate of the castle early.
"U-"
Arriving in front of the castle on a bloody horse, Viscount Fergus turned over and jumped off the bloody horse, throwing the reins to a servant next to him.
"Master, you are back!"
Mrs. Milan spoke.
"Father, welcome back!"
This is what Gray and others said.
"Lord Viscount, you are back!"
These were the voices of three butlers, two head maids, and many servants.
"Well, I'm back!"
Viscount Fergus had blond hair and a heroic face, but there was a bit of evil in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
The pursuit of the escaping thieves for more than half a month had obviously accumulated a lot of evil energy in him.
"Uu, uh, uh..."
At this moment, the nine people following Viscount Fergus, namely two barons and seven lords, had also arrived on horseback and jumped off their horses.
"Sir, a welcome banquet has been prepared in the castle."
As the hostess, Mrs. Milan, wearing a long purple pleated dress and exuding the temperament of a lady, spoke.
"good."
Viscount Fergus nodded, and immediately walked towards the banquet hall with the two barons, seven lords, Lady Milan, and Gray.
As for the other soldiers, there was also a banquet in another place in the castle, and naturally there would be servants leading them to place their horses and go to the banquet place.
In the huge and spacious banquet hall, three lotus-shaped crystal lamps hung from the ceiling. They were not lit because it was daytime.
Surrounded by brown wooden walls, there are oil paintings inlaid with picture frames at regular intervals on the walls, and there are also some wooden sculptures adhered to the walls, which support the environment in an elegant and stylish manner.
In the center of the banquet hall, there are three long tables painted light brown. One long table is placed horizontally, while the other two long tables are placed vertically.
In fact, there should have been many round tables around, but since the number of people attending the banquet was not too large, they have been removed.
At this time, drinks and fruits were already placed on the three long tables.
Viscount Fergus, Mrs. Millan, and Gray sat at the long horizontal table. Viscount Fergus was in the middle, with Mrs. Millan, Caroline, and Sarah on his left, and on his right were Bernal, Ai, and others. Leith, Grey.
The two barons and the eight lords including Linde each had a baron sitting at the head and four lords sitting behind them.
The servant served the dishes, including the chef's secret ham, grilled fish sprinkled with black pepper, stewed beef with rich soup, steamed and shelled red shrimp...
In the banquet hall, there were people drinking and drinking, and the atmosphere was extremely warm. Even Gray drank some red wine.
On such an occasion, Bernal, as the eldest son, could be said to be at ease, toasting and greeting the two barons and eight lords from time to time.
"Uncle Gerbert, tell us about this extermination of thieves."
The man he called Uncle Gardner was Baron Kipling, a burly middle-aged man.
After drinking to his heart's content, and being called uncle by Bernal affectionately, he immediately started chatting.
"The thieves this time were really cunning. After the robbery, they immediately moved away. They were very sophisticated in covering up their traces. They also left many false traces to mislead us. We tracked them for five days in a row, but we couldn't find any trace of them."
"Sophisticated techniques? Are there veterans among these thieves who have been on the battlefield?"
Bernal wondered.
"There are indeed veterans who have been on the battlefield, and there are quite a few of them."
Baron Ricardo, who had a slight beard on his chin, answered.
"Especially since the leader of this group of thieves is actually the wanted criminal Marcellus."
"Marcellus, is it him?!"
Everyone was surprised, even Gray was no exception, because he had seen the wanted notice about this person.
Three months ago, the original owner of the body had just arrived at the Fergus family, and this wanted order had just arrived at the Fergus family, so in a sense, he had seen the wanted order about this person.
According to the wanted notice, this man had been on the battlefield between the Kingdom and the Flame Kingdom, and his accumulated military exploits were enough to ennoble him as a lord.
Later, for unknown reasons, he assassinated the baron he was loyal to and disappeared without a trace. It turned out that he had joined the thieves and also appeared in the Viscount Fergus.
"The wanted poster states that this person has the strength of a high-level blood warrior. Is it true?"
Bernal asked.
"Strength is real."
Baron Kipling nodded.
"In order to find this group of thieves, Lord Emerson, myself, and Gardner divided into three groups to search. Both Gardner and I had encountered this man before. However, after the encounter, we both let the other side escape. The strength is indeed a high-level blood warrior."
"Could it be that my father killed me later?"
Bernal looked at Viscount Fergus.
"After this man and this group of thieves encountered several encirclements, he was about to escape from the territory. I intercepted him at Luoye Qiu and killed him."
Viscount Fergus nodded.
…
The banquet lasted until the afternoon and then ended completely. The two drunken barons and other lords were placed in the castle guest rooms and did not return to their respective territories until the next day.
As nobles entrusted by Viscount Fergus, they all have their own territories and usually stay in their respective territories. When Viscount Fergus calls, they will come with the cavalry they have trained to respond to Viscount Fergus's call. call.
Because he didn't drink much red wine, Gray woke up early the next day. As usual, he went to a remote house in the south of the castle and prepared to practice in the open space near the house.
Although the strength of the lower blood warrior has been restored, there will be no problem even if he goes to the training ground to practice. However, Gray is used to practicing in this place, and this place is indeed quiet and undisturbed, so he still practices in this place. .
"drink-"
He roared low and started practicing the blood method "Wind Wolf".
Having reached the level of a low-level blood warrior, he had unconsciously gained a sense of vigor, as if he had transformed into a real wind wolf, and he was completely devoted to his cultivation.
Again.
twice.
It wasn't until the first movement of the third rep, after holding on for almost six minutes, that he gasped and stopped practicing.
Drops of sweat appeared on his forehead, moistening his black hair. Although the 16-year-old looked a little thin, in fact, under his thin body, he had a body that was comparable to or even surpassed the previous boxing champion. Strengthen your muscles.
"Master, wipe your face!"
Seeing that he had finished practicing, the maid Barbara came forward in time and handed him a towel that had been wetted with water.
Gray reached out and took it, wiping the sweat from his forehead. The towel stained with cold water brought a comfortable coolness to his body that had just finished practicing.
Because his strength had been restored and he no longer needed to be secretive, Gray simply brought the maid Barbara over, but he still asked her to avoid him during practice.
After coming to this world for more than a month, he has already fallen in love with this kind of life of maid service, especially this maid who is extremely beautiful, tall, fair-skinned, and has a pretty face. Just looking at her makes her feel pleasing to the eye.
"Although the training progress is much slower than before becoming a low-level blood warrior, it is still extremely fast."
"It seems that my physical transformation is not over yet, which means that the physical transformation is not because the blood power of the original owner of the body has not disappeared."
Passing the towel back to Barbara, Gray's face showed a look of thought.
Today is the fourth day that he has become a low-level blood warrior. After these few days of training, he can still feel the rapid improvement in strength. Obviously, the transformation of the body is not because the power of the blood of the original owner of the body has not disappeared.
As for the speed of cultivation, it is much slower than before becoming a low-level blood warrior. This is considered a normal phenomenon.
The progress of blood warrior training becomes slower as it reaches the later stages, especially at the level of Viscount Fergus. Without the assistance of corresponding blood beast blood and medicine, progress may be made in years.
In fact, not only the training of bloody warriors, but also other types of training are not the same
For example, in the 100-meter race in the previous life, the progress must be the fastest when training first began. Later, especially after entering the ten-second mark, even an improvement of 0.01 will take an unknown amount of time.
Therefore, it is normal for the cultivation speed to be slower than before. The body's transformation should still be in progress. The most powerful proof is that his current food intake has not become smaller.
"Let's go back!"
Taking Barbara with him, Gray returned to the main building of the castle.
After taking a bath in the bathroom and changing into clean clothes, Gray was ready to go to the library.
At this moment, a man wearing a black and white valet uniform saluted him and said.
"Master Gray, the Viscount wants you to go to the Purple Jade Hall!"
