Early on the next morning, the carriage set off from Fergus Castle and headed for the Evelyn family. In addition to Bernal and Gray, there were also Sarah and Caroline in the carriage.
Caroline wanted to borrow books from the Evelyn family.
Sarah, on the other hand, heard that Gray was going to participate in the battle on behalf of the Evelyn family, and immediately asked to go with great interest.
Ellis was not among them, probably because he knew that he had a bad impression in Gray's mind, so he would try to avoid wherever Gray appeared.
In the afternoon, the carriage fends off the Evelyn family.
"Gray, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
In the living room, Baron Evelyn Derek Evelyn, a middle-aged man with brown hair, thanked Gray.
As a family that is favored by Viscount Fergus and has the opportunity to be enfeoffed by the Marquis family and promoted to the Viscount family, Baron Evelyn has the strength of a fierce warrior.
However, in front of Gray, he did not dare to exaggerate at all.
Although according to rumors, Gray is still only a "high-level blood warrior" and his strength is one level lower than him, but with Gray's potential, it is inevitable to surpass him.
"Uncle Derek, you're welcome. The Fergus family and the Evelyn family have been married. We are already a family. The Evelin family needs help, and it is right for me to help."
Gray said politely.
"Yeah, you're welcome Uncle Derek."
Bernal also answered.
Sitting next to him at this time was a young woman with brown hair, wearing a white dress with lace, beautiful appearance and tall figure. She was the one he was engaged to, Bernice Evelyn.
"Haha, okay, I won't be polite to you anymore. I will keep my thanks to you in my heart."
Baron Evelyn was smiling, and he was even more satisfied with his marriage to the Fergus family.
Originally, his ideal marriage partner was the heir to the title of a noble family, but given the situation of the Fergus family, it was impossible for Bernal to inherit the title.
However, in the end, he agreed to the marriage with the Fergus family because of the potential shown by the Fergus family because of Gray.
With Gray here, the Fergus family is likely to become an earl family in the future. Even if Bernal is not the heir to the title, his future status will not be low.
The most important thing is that if there is support from the Fergus family, who has become an earl family, the Evelyn family's path to promotion to viscount will undoubtedly be much smoother.
"By the way, I wonder who my opponent this time is...?"
Gray asked.
Since you want to fight on behalf of the Evelin family, you naturally need to know your opponent well, especially in battles between blood warriors, because blood warriors who practice different blood methods have completely different strength biases.
Although with his current strength, it stands to reason that no matter what kind of blood method his opponent practices, he cannot be his opponent, but in order not to be too presumptuous, he still decided to learn about his opponent's information.
"This time, it is the McIntosh family that competes with our Evelyn family for the iron mines. Based on the situation of this family, the one who is most likely to fight is Jeffrey McIntosh, who is a mid-level blood warrior."
A man in his early twenties, slightly younger than Bernal, answered.
He is Noah Evelyn, the next successor of the Evelyn family.
"Medium Blood Warrior."
Gray asked no more questions. Although caution is a good thing, proper self-confidence is also necessary. If you don't even have the confidence to deal with a mid-level blood warrior, then it's really better to kill him with a piece of tofu.
Two days later, in an open space near the iron mine, two families who were preparing to fight for the ownership of the iron mine met.
"Humph, I invited him here as expected."
In the direction of the McIntosh family, Baron McIntosh looked at Gray who appeared among the Evelyn family's team. He couldn't help but snorted, with a sneer on his lips, and then looked behind him and said.
"Dennis, my opponent is Gray Fergus. I will trouble you this time."
He naturally knew about the relationship between the Evelyn family and the Fergus family. Even so, he still agreed to the "battle" because he was prepared.
"Uncle Doug, don't worry."
A man with a tall nose nodded. He looked in the same direction. There was no fear in his expression, but he was eager to try.
"It's Denis Coney, damn, why is he here?"
After seeing the tall-nosed man who appeared among the McIntosh family, Baron Evelyn's expression became very ugly.
He walked up to Baron McIntosh with a gloomy face and said.
"Baron McIntosh, you don't want to tell me that Dennis Coney will fight on behalf of the McIntosh family, do you?"
"I am indeed planning to invite Dennis to fight. Why, you are allowed to invite Gray Fergus to fight, but I am not allowed to invite Dennis to fight?"
Baron McIntosh sneered.
"Don't forget that there are rules in the battle. The person invited must be related to your own family."
Baron Evelyn said coldly.
"Of course I know this. Unfortunately, my McIntosh family and the Kony family are already related by marriage."
Baron McIntosh said with a proud smile, looking at the tall-nosed man Dennis Coney. The latter understood, took a step forward, and spoke.
"Gray Fergus, I have always wanted to compete with a 'genius' like you. This time I finally have the chance. Please do it!"
Reaching out to Gray as a gesture of invitation, the tall-nosed man Dennis Coney himself walked towards a piece of grass not far ahead.
"Dennis Coney?"
There was a hint of surprise on Gray's face.
In the past few months, I have attended many banquets with Viscount Fergus, and I have gained some understanding of the noble families in the Marquis of Sidney.
Dennis Coney, the leader of this generation of the Baron Coney family, is twenty-eight years old and has the strength of a high-level blood warrior. He did not expect that the McIntosh family would form an in-law relationship with this family in order to fight against the Evelyn family.
Although he was a little surprised, it was just a more powerful opponent. He didn't care and walked straight over.
"The opponent will actually be Dennis Coney. Will Gray...?"
Noah Evelin showed worry on his face, and Bernice also showed worry in her eyes.
Although they are both high-level blood warriors, Dennis Coney obviously became a high-level blood warrior earlier than Gray, and he should have more practical combat experience.
This made them quite worried. After all, an iron mine was a huge income for a baron family like the Evelyn family.
"Brother will never lose."
Hearing Noah Evelin's suspicious words, Sarah raised her eyebrows and said slightly dissatisfied.
She knew that Gray was already a fierce blood warrior, so how could he lose to a high-level blood warrior.
"Don't worry, Gray won't lose."
Bernal gave Bernice a reassuring smile and promised.
The Fergus family currently does not intend to disclose the fact that Gray is a fierce blood warrior, so he can only comfort him like this.
While several people were talking, not far away, Gray and Dennis Kony were already fighting.
Sonorous!
The weapon on Dennis Coney's waist was unsheathed. It was a long knife with a green blade and a long narrow blade. If nothing else, this should be a magic weapon.
In a battle involving great interests such as the fight for iron mines, it is inevitable to prepare the best weapons.
In fact, the Evelin family also asked Gray if he needed help preparing magic weapons. Although they didn't have any suitable ones, they could borrow them for Gray, but Gray refused.
Whoosh!
Holding the green magic weapon at an angle, Dennis Coney stepped towards Gray, and then slashed him down with a swift slash.
Under the green sword light, the surrounding weeds were blowing in Gray's direction as if they were being hit by a strong wind.
Stab!
The green sword light slashed through the place where Gray was, cutting nothing but weeds. Long before that, Gray had already stepped out and left the place.
Uh-huh!
Gray appeared next to Dennis Coney, and the blue-white magic sword turned into a flash of lightning and slashed away.
But at this moment, Dennis Coney suddenly turned his head, looked in this direction, turned around and greeted him with a knife.
Dennis Coney naturally knew that the Fergus family's blood magic was good at speed, so he was already on guard against Gray escaping the attack and appearing from the side.
clang!
Dennis Coney blocked the blow, but before he could take the opportunity to counterattack, he found that Gray had suddenly disappeared and reappeared on the other side.
Clang, clang, clang!
Gray's sword kept slashing at him from all directions, and Dennis Coney's resistance gradually turned from calm at first to embarrassment.
Faced with Gray's attacks from all directions, even though Dennis Kony blocked them, he still couldn't help but be slightly affected.
This effect is very small, and it only takes some time to adjust. However, Gray's continuous attacks gave him no time to adjust, and instead caused this effect to accumulate.
boom!
Finally, after this influence accumulated to a certain extent, Dennis Coney could no longer block Gray's sword, and was directly knocked back by Gray's sword, causing his body to lose balance.
Facing the opponent who was knocked back and out of balance, Gray raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chased after him.
This fighting method is the result of his experience in the red leaf forest this time, and he realized it when he was fighting the wind-chasing leopard.
Phew!
Seeing Gray chasing after him like a gust of wind, Dennis Coney gritted his teeth and suddenly inserted the knife in his hand into the ground, and then the power of blood poured into the sword.
Then the long knife bloomed with green light, and then all kinds of weeds around it suddenly seemed to come to life, growing and heading towards Gray.
"You can't even use the properties of magic weapons!"
The smile on Gray's lips became even brighter, and thunder and lightning suddenly surrounded the magic sword in his hand.
Crackling!
Terrifying thunder and lightning erupted, and the weeds that rushed toward Gray turned black and dried up in an instant.
"not good!"
Dennis Coney's expression changed drastically. He wanted to draw his weapon and retreat sharply, but suddenly cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At some point, a magic sword surrounded by lightning was placed near his neck, exuding a terrifying aura.
