In the following days, Viscount Fergus would take time out every day to give guidance to the four Grays in battle. Gray felt that his combat skills were soaring at a very fast rate. As expected, combat skills can only be improved faster in battles. .
Of course, his rapid improvement in combat skills is also related to the combat talent he inherited from the original owner of his body. In contrast, although Ellis received the same guidance as him, his combat skills obviously did not improve as quickly as him.
The Castle of Viscount Fergus is located on a low slope with steep sides on three sides, and only one side is accessible.
There are walls and arrow towers tall enough to stand on this side, making the entire castle easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At the foot of the castle hill, there is a large piece of flat terrain, which is completely enclosed and used as a place to plant fodder, feed horses, and train horses.
"Drive, drive..."
In the racecourse, Gray was riding on a black horse. He gently pinched the horse's belly with his legs to drive the horse forward. He used the reins to pull left and right to change the horse's running direction.
The black horse he sat on was nearly two meters long and about one and a half meters tall. It had strong limbs and well-developed muscles, but it didn't look bloated.
Next to him, there were four people, Viscount Fergus, Bernal, Ellis, and Caroline, who were also riding horses.
Among them, Bernal was riding a brown horse, Ellis was riding a horse with black and white hair, and Caroline was riding a pure white horse.
Viscount Fergus was riding a horse with blood-colored hair. When he was encircling and suppressing thieves, Viscount Fergus was riding this horse.
Today, Viscount Fergus did not conduct battle training with them, but took them to the racecourse for equestrian training.
This time, the worst performers were Gray, Bernal and others. They had started equestrian training since childhood, so they were naturally very skilled in riding.
Grace only started equestrian training after she came to the castle. She started much later than the three of them, so there is naturally a big gap between her and the three in terms of technique.
After galloping on the racecourse for half an hour, when the horses sitting down were all gasping and panting, the five people stopped, jumped off the horses, and led the horses for a walk.
"Gray, you need to practice more equestrian skills in the future. For noble children, skilled equestrian skills are essential."
Viscount Fergus looked at Gray and said.
"Yes, father."
Gray nodded in response. He could clearly feel the proud glance from Ellis, but he ignored it.
Instead, his eyes looked at the bloody war horse led by Viscount Fergus.
This war horse is obviously taller than the horses that Gray and his four men are riding. It is 2.5 meters long and about 1.7 meters tall. It is full of streamlined muscles. Together with the other horses, it stands out from the crowd, and it is like a king among horses. King.
It was obvious that this horse had an extraordinary pedigree. Both in terms of endurance and running speed, it was obviously stronger than other horses. After half an hour of fast running, the horse was just panting slightly and was being led to walk. After a while, it returned to normal.
"Father, I wonder what kind of horse your horse is?"
Seeing how extraordinary the horse was, Gray asked curiously.
"This is a red blood horse, one of the best horse breeds in the kingdom."
Looking at the red-blooded horse, Viscount Fergus replied.
"In terms of running speed, it can already catch up with some ferocious blood beasts."
"Have you been able to catch up with some ferocious blood beasts?"
Gray was surprised. This horse was indeed as extraordinary as he imagined, and even more.
The running speed can be comparable to that of a ferocious blood beast, which is not something ordinary horses can achieve.
The gap between blood beasts and ordinary animals is like the gap between blood warriors and ordinary soldiers. Ordinary soldiers have not been implanted with the blood of blood beasts. Even if they continue to temper their bodies, it is difficult to compare with the blood warriors.
And the running speed of this horse is actually comparable to that of a ferocious blood beast, breaking the gap between blood beasts and ordinary animals. Even in terms of speed, it can be seen that it is extraordinary.
"What, you like my horse?"
Viscount Fergus looked at Gray with a half-smile.
"No, no."
Gray shook his head. Although he was indeed envious, he didn't want to have it.
In the entire castle, only Viscount Fergus has such a war horse. One can imagine how precious this kind of war horse is.
Seeing the envy on Gray's face, Viscount Fergus said with a smile.
"If you can raise your strength to a mid-level blood warrior when you hold your coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 18, I will give you a red-blooded horse."
Uh-huh!
For a moment, Gray could feel two eyes on him.
Looking sideways, he saw Ellis and Bernal, looking directly at him with envy in their eyes.
For a horse rider, who doesn’t want a good horse
Especially since this is a war horse that can run as fast as a ferocious blood beast, one can imagine the envy of the two of them.
Even Gray couldn't help but have a look of shock and surprise on his face. Although he hasn't been training horses for a long time, Gray has already fallen in love with the feeling of galloping on a horse. For a horse that can be as fast as a ferocious blood beast, Naturally, he is eager for a good horse.
"Come on!"
Seeing the look of shock and surprise on Gray's face, Viscount Fergus smiled and said.
"Yes, I will!"
Gray nodded solemnly, but his heart was already filled with joy.
At his current training speed, as long as he keeps it up, he can become a mid-level blood warrior in not even two years, not even a year, so the red blood horse is almost in his possession.
With a flash in his eyes, Bernal led the horse to Gray and said to Gray.
"Gray, Ian Ricardo, the eldest son of the Ricardo family, organized a hunt the day after tomorrow and invited us to go. Will you go with us?"
"hunting?"
When he heard Bernal's invitation to hunt, the first thing that popped into Gray's mind was vigilance.
Last time, the original owner of the body was assassinated because he attended a party in Fergus City. Now he heard an invitation to hunt, and it was also proposed by one of the suspected masterminds behind the scenes. He reflexively refused.
"Thank you, Brother Bernal, for your kindness. You guys have a great time, and I won't go."
"Gray, although training is important, you should also relax properly occasionally. The people participating in the hunt this time are all children of noble families in the territory, which can help you expand your network."
Bernal persuaded earnestly.
"Later, for now I just want to concentrate on training."
Gray still refused. Although he yearned for this aristocratic hunting life, he obviously valued his own life more than his own.
But at this moment, Viscount Fergus unexpectedly spoke.
"Hunting? It's a very good activity, Gray. You have stayed in the castle for so long, and you really should go outside for a walk."
"But… "
Gray was anxious in his heart. He had already had the idea to go for a walk outside the castle, but with the mastermind behind it, how could he dare to go out casually
"There is no need to worry about safety."
Viscount Fergus seemed to see Gray's concerns and said.
"I will ask Lord Linde to accompany you. He will protect your safety."
"Okay, this matter is settled."
Finally, Viscount Fergus made the final decision.
"yes."
Having been forcefully decided by Viscount Fergus, Gray had no choice but to agree, and being accompanied by Lord Lynd also made him feel at ease.
With Lord Linde's strength as a high-ranking blood warrior, even if there were assassins, it would be difficult to assassinate him.
In the afternoon, a carriage drove out of the Castle of Viscount Fergus, with Bernal sitting in the carriage.
He parked the carriage at the Qin Music Hall, but he left through the back door of the Qin Music Hall and came to a relatively remote residence.
Knocking on the door, the door opened and he was welcomed in by a man dressed as a civilian. After a moment, a man with a cloak covering his face appeared. It was the cloaked man that Bernal met in the washroom of the Music Hall last time.
"Master Bernal, you will appear here. It seems that you have figured it out."
The cloaked man said with a slight smile that he was sure of victory.
"Yeah, I figured it out."
Bernal nodded sharply.
"The day after tomorrow, he will go hunting in the Shipo Forest outside the city, but he will be accompanied by a high-ranking blood warrior. Can you do it?"
"High-ranking Blood Warrior? Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not a problem. Don't worry, as long as we can lure him out, we will do the rest."
The cloaked man said confidently.
"Okay, I hope you won't make a mistake and can do it."
Sensing the confidence of the cloaked man, Bernal breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, you won't let Master Bernal down!"
The cloaked man smiled conspiratorially.
