In a high-end decorated room, an old man was lying quietly on the bed. His eyes suddenly opened, revealing a pair of extremely cold eyes.
His eyes moved left and right. The unfamiliar environment made him suddenly alert, and he turned over and tried to sit up.
"ah-"
The heartbreaking pain that came from his abdomen made him cry out in pain, and he lay back on the bed again, making the elastic bed creak.
He gently lifted off the quilt and looked down at his abdomen. He saw numerous white bandages wrapped around his abdomen.
And it seems that because of his action just now, the wound under the bandage has reopened, and the color of the bandage is turning crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He remembered that he had been stabbed through the abdomen by Manel Sidney with a giant sword. The wound on his abdomen should have been left at that time.
"Manel Sidney."
Thinking of Manel Sidney, his eyes were filled with cold hatred, and his few remaining teeth were clenching, as if they would break at any time.
For a moment, he suppressed the hatred in his heart and turned his attention to the current environment.
This is a luxuriously decorated room. Judging from the decorations in the room, this should be the bedroom of a noble family.
"Where am I?"
"What's going on with the organization again?"
He endured the pain and moved his body gently to the edge of the bed, trying to get out of bed and stand up.
"I advise you not to do this. Your injuries are too serious. Even the healing potion can only hang your life."
At this moment, with the sound of pushing the door, a man walked in. Looking at Rob Tracy who was about to sit up from the bed, the man spoke with an old age in his voice.
"It's you, Ralph Valen."
Rob Tracy turned his head and looked at the speaker. He was an old man wearing a gray coat and his face was full of wrinkles.
He recognized this person because this person had discussed with him many times about merging the Shadow Snake into the Valen family, but he had always rejected it.
"You were so seriously injured that even the healing potion had little effect. You were in a coma for seven days. I thought you had no hope, but you unexpectedly woke up. It seems you are quite lucky."
Looking at Rob Tracy, Ralph Warren sighed slightly.
"Seven days, I was in a coma for seven days?"
Rob Tracy frowned, and after a slight hesitation, he asked in a deep voice.
"How is the Shadow Snake doing now?"
"I think you already know that."
Ralph Valen shook his head slightly.
"Except for you, everyone, including the two captain-level assassins, were killed!"
"The Sidney family, and the Fergus family..."
Rob Tracy's old fists were clenched and his eyes were cold.
Even though he had expected it, he still couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart when he heard this answer.
The Shadow Snake is his hard work. He has devoted his whole life to the organization of the Shadow Snake, but now this hard work is gone.
"hiss-"
He endured the pain in his abdomen and wanted to get out of bed and stand up.
"I know you want revenge now, but I advise you to take good care of yourself first. Now you, not to mention the Sidney family, even any family with fierce-blooded warriors, are enough to take your life. Life."
Ralph Valen shook his head.
"The Sidney family is also the enemy of our Warren family. Our hatred of the Sidney family is by no means weaker than yours."
Having been entangled with the Sidney family for hundreds of years, the two families have forgotten what the original hatred was, leaving only unforgettable hatred.
Many people in the Warren family have died under the assassination and conspiracy of the Sidney family. Many people in the Sidney family have also died under the assassination and conspiracy of the Warren family. Even the previous presidents of the two families have died. The heads of the family all died because of this.
"Bringing it back to the past, I invite you to join the Warren family again. I think you should understand that if you want to take revenge on the Sidney family, your strength alone is far from enough..."
After staying in Sidney Castle for three full days and handling all the tedious matters such as the documents for promotion to the earl family, letters of appointment, etc., Gray and Earl Fergus left Sidney Castle.
The Fergus family was promoted from the Viscount family to the Earl family, and the territory of the Fergus family naturally increased greatly. It expanded tenfold from the original 3,000 square kilometers to a full 30,000 square kilometers.
This area is equivalent to the area of several cities and jurisdictions in Gray's previous life.
The territory was expanded on the basis of the Fergus family's original territory. It expanded in all four directions, showing an irregular gear shape.
Among them, the territories that originally belonged to the Locke family and the Oliver family were also merged into the territory of the Fergus family.
, In the past few days, Earl Fergus has been busy with matters related to promotion to the Earl family, while Gray has been looking through the Sidney family's collection of books, which can be regarded as fruitful.
"I didn't expect the blood of high-level blood beasts to actually have the ability to cause mutations..."
In the practice of blood magic, if blood is implanted across levels, it is likely to cause the body to collapse and directly cause the whole person to go crazy.
However, if you do not implant blood vessels, but simply use high-grade blood beast blood or blood essence through natural absorption, it can speed up the growth of strength.
Moreover, when the high-level blood beast blood taken has the same attributes as the blood method practiced by oneself, the effect of accelerating the speed of strength improvement will be better.
Precisely because he knew this, Gray used the fact that he had obtained the blood of a high-level blood beast as a cover-up when Saroyan mentioned the speed of his strength improvement.
But what he didn't expect was that the blood of high-level blood beasts could actually cause mutations.
"It seems that the mutation of my blood beast's ability should be recognized by the Sidney family as the reason why I swallowed the blood of a high-level blood beast!"
Originally, Gray was still wondering, but the Sidney family didn't seem surprised about his bloodline mutation, and they didn't even ask him specifically.
Now he understands that swallowing the blood of high-level blood beasts may cause bloodline mutation.
In order to cover up the reason for his rapid improvement in strength, Gray mentioned that he had obtained the blood of a high-level blood beast. The Sidney family obviously thought that he had mutated by swallowing the blood of a high-level blood beast, so they did not have too many doubts about this matter. .
"However, swallowing the blood of high-level blood beasts may cause mutation, which is quite similar to the transformation of my body."
Gray has been exploring the origin of the phenomenon of his body swallowing blood and causing transformation, and what exactly caused this transformation.
Now, Gray saw similarities in the phenomenon of mutation caused by swallowing the blood of high-level blood beasts.
Of course, the transformation phenomenon caused by Gray swallowing the blood of a blood beast is different from the mutation caused by swallowing the blood of a high-level blood beast.
Even swallowing the blood of a blood beast of the same realm can cause mutation, and it is not like the mutation caused by swallowing the blood of a high-level blood beast. It only has a small probability of happening, but it will definitely happen.
Not only that, after swallowing the blood of a blood beast that is higher than its own level, the body will be in a secondary transformation for a long time. In this transformation state, the food intake will increase, and the corresponding strength improvement speed will also become extremely terrifying.
Obviously, the transformation phenomenon after Gray swallows blood is more significant than the mutation caused by ordinary people swallowing the blood of high-level blood beasts. It is simply an evolved version of this phenomenon.
It's as if this mutation phenomenon has been improved and evolved in Gray.
Two days later, Gray and Earl Fergus returned to Fergus Castle with the only remaining bronze rhinoceros.
In front of the castle gate, upon learning that Gray and Earl Fergus had returned, everyone in the Fergus family came to greet them.
"Father, Gray, you are finally back. You have been gone for more than 20 days and there has been no news."
Seeing that neither Gray nor Earl Fergus showed any signs of injury, Bernal breathed a sigh of relief and spoke.
No one else in the castle knew what exactly Gray and Fergus were being recruited for by the Sidney family this time, but he knew it and was extremely aware of the danger this time.
Although the full strength of the Shadow Snake organization is not known, we can already know the organization's strength from the fact that this organization was an enemy of the Sidney family more than 20 years ago, but it was not destroyed, and there are several mad blood warriors in the organization. not simple.
He even vaguely guessed that there should be wild blood warriors in this organization.
Gray and Earl Fergus went there, but no news came back for more than 20 days. He couldn't help but feel vaguely uneasy. Fortunately, Gray and Earl Fergus returned safely.
Boom, boom, boom!
Entering the castle, Gray directed the Bronze-Armored Rhinoceros to go to the basement. When he saw the numerous injuries on the Bronze-Armored Rhinoceros' bodies, their expressions changed slightly.
"The Bronze-armored Rhinoceros is injured!"
Sarah and Bernice looked surprised.
"With the strong defense of the Bronze-Armored Rhino, it would actually leave such serious injuries..."
Caroline frowned.
"The Bronze-armored Rhinoceros was actually so seriously injured."
Bernal's pupils shrank, and he could feel the brutality of this battle just from the injuries on the bronze-armored rhinoceros.
"Master, are there three more mad-level blood beasts?"
Mrs. Milan keenly discovered something that several people had ignored.
"It's all destroyed."
Earl Fergus shook his head.
"All destroyed?"
Several members of the Fergus family changed their minds.
Although most of them had not heard from Viscount Fergus about what this trip was about, they all had some vague guesses. After all, this time they had brought four blood beasts with them unprecedentedly.
Now among the four blood beasts, three were damaged and one was covered in wounds. You can imagine what kind of battle took place.
"People safe is good."
Several people said comfortingly.
Although it was a pity to lose the Wind Controlling Leopard and Jade Lizard who could fully exert their mad-level combat power, the most important thing was that they were fine.
Faced with the comfort from several people, Earl Fergus smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, it's not a loss this time."
