He set off on horseback that day and traveled all night. At noon the next day, a slightly tired Gray arrived at the city of Sidney.
Entering the city of Sidney, you can hear traders and pedestrians talking about it everywhere, and the content of the discussion is all related to the Sidney family.
The content of the conversation between several of them caught Gray's attention and made him stop involuntarily.
"The sound was like thunder..."
A middle-aged man spoke.
"I thought it was raining, so I got up in a hurry to put away my clothes. Guess what I saw?"
"What did you see?"
Someone asked curiously next to him.
"The sky is blue."
"Cyan?"
"Yes, the sky near Sidney Castle is actually cyan, as if Sidney Castle is glowing."
The middle-aged man said with a serious face.
"The blue light flashed past, and then I heard what must have been a roar from a ferocious beast. The sound was so loud that it almost deafened my ears, but the sound seemed painful."
"it's painful?"
"Yes, it's a very painful feeling, like an animal being whipped by a whip. The screams are obviously painful."
…
After listening for a while, but unable to hear any useful news, Gray rode towards Sidney Castle.
"Could the cyan light be the ability of the wind blood beast?"
He frowned slightly.
Generally speaking, those who show cyan light are mostly wind abilities. Of course, this is not absolute. There are some abilities whose light is similar to wind abilities and also show cyan.
After riding for half an hour, a wilderness appeared in front of Gray.
Among the wilderness, the most conspicuous thing is a mountain peak. There are cliffs on three sides of the mountain peak. Only one side has a slightly gentle terrain, with a stone paved ground that leads directly to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, there is a large group of buildings, where is Sidney Castle.
The building complex that was supposed to be extremely majestic was now clearly showing signs of violent collapse, and the collapsed buildings could be seen from a distance.
When we rode up to the mountain, we saw a building that had almost collapsed.
Walls collapsed, spires broke, and houses shattered... It's hard to imagine that this place was still a magnificent building more than a month ago.
Jumping off the horse and walking into the ruins, Gray saw dried blood.
It was stained on the ground and splashed on the wall, which was shocking.
In some low-lying areas, there was even a bay of blood.
It is conceivable how brutal battles took place here.
From time to time, blood-stained rags cut from clothes could be seen, but no bones were seen.
Gray continued to walk forward and passed by a house where he once lived. At this time, the house completely collapsed, and the tile roof above his head fell directly.
He passed by a garden again, where he had had tea and chatted with Saroyan and Pearly more than a month ago.
At that time, Saroyan also solemnly reminded him to be careful of the Wallen family, saying that there was something wrong with the Wallen family, but he never expected that the Fergus family was not attacked, but the Sidney family was. And even more so, they were exterminated.
"At that time, it was said that there was something strange happening in the Wallen family... and then the Sidney family was exterminated. Could it really be the Wallen family? But the Wallen family should not have such strength."
Recalling Saroyan's solemn reminder at that time, Gray couldn't help but suspect that all this was done by the Varun family, but with the strength of the Varen family, it shouldn't be able to do this.
Not to mention the strongest force in the opponent's family, the rune puppet with the strength of a wild-blood warrior would be difficult to transport away quietly.
Even if it could be transported to Sidney Castle, it would only be on par with the Sidney family's bronze-backed dragon beast at most, and it should not be able to destroy the Sidney family.
"Are there other forces involved? The Warren family has joined forces with other forces?"
If all this is really done by the Warren family, then there must be other forces involved. Otherwise, with the strength of the Warren family, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the Sidney family.
"By the way, there is another wild-blood warrior from the Sidney family sitting in Stormrage Hills. I wonder how he is doing..."
Gray felt that this elder of the Sidney family might also be in trouble. After all, even the branches of the Sidney family had not spared him, let alone a barbaric-blooded warrior like him.
Continuing to walk forward, a smell of burning smell passed into Gray's nose. Gray, who had already vaguely made a guess, walked forward and immediately saw a trace of burnt blackness in the Sidney family's back garden.
The scorched marks were filled with corpses one after another, piled up into a hill.
There is a corpse among them, which is extremely huge, and every bone is extremely thick. It is the corpse of the bronze-backed dragon beast.
"Destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces?"
Along the way, the houses that were obviously deliberately destroyed, as well as the bodies burned to char, all showed that the other party was destroying the traces of the battle, and obviously did not want anyone to trace their identities through the traces of the battle.
Leaving the charred garden, Gray walked among the ruins of Sidney Castle, trying to find some traces of the battle. Unfortunately, the damage was so complete that no trace of the battle could be found at all.
After a fruitless search, Gray left the ruins of the castle and came to the city of Sidney. He paid dozens of people to bury the bodies of the Sidney family.
It was no longer possible to tell who was who, so Gray had no choice but to bury their bodies together.
"Master, we found a basement."
A civilian invited to bury the body came over and reported to Gray Hui.
"Basement? Take me there."
Following this civilian, Gray saw a dark hole in the ruins.
This place should have been buried before, but it was opened by this civilian. Gray could guess the other person's intention of doing this, which was nothing more than looking for valuable things and making a fortune.
After lifting all the rubble covering the roof of the cave, a sloping downward staircase appeared. Gray took out a simple rune lamp from the ring and walked down.
After descending for perhaps a few dozen meters, a passage appeared in front of Gray.
Walking forward along the passage, you will soon see many shining silver blades falling on the ground, and there are also traces of burning. This should be the result of the rune mechanism being triggered.
Continuing to walk forward, several rooms made of stone suddenly appeared. In the rooms, there were cabinets and boxes.
But at this time everything was opened, and nothing remained inside.
Ahead, there is a stone wall and there is no road.
"This should be the treasure house of the Sidney family."
Obviously, this is the treasure house of the Sidney family, but it has been visited by the group that destroyed the Sidney family, and everything has been moved away.
"The Sidney family should also have a secret escape route..."
This basement reminded Gray of a secret escape passage. Maybe someone escaped through the escape passage.
After leaving the basement, Gray quickly called the civilians and asked them to continue searching in the castle. A few hours later, another basement was found.
Walking down the stairs to the basement, you will see a huge space. In the space, there is food, water, blankets, and even beds. This should be the basement where the Sidney family uses to escape crises.
After the space, there was a deep passage, and Gray walked forward along the passage.
"There are footprints!"
Suddenly, Gray discovered that there were many footprints on the ground of this passage.
"Did someone successfully escape or was it left behind by the group that destroyed the Sidney family?"
A look of thought flashed across his face, and Gray walked quickly along the passage.
After walking for more than a hundred meters, a huge black iron-colored metal door blocked the way ahead.
"Has the escape tunnel mechanism been put down?"
Seeing the black metal door, a look of surprise flashed across Gray's face.
The mechanism of the escape passage has been put down, which means that this passage has been used.
Who would use this passage
The answer is self-evident.
"Could it be that the Marquis and others have escaped and are just hiding to avoid being discovered by the enemy?"
Holding the rune lamp, Gray carefully looked at the black metal wall.
I saw scratches on the black iron-colored metal wall.
"Someone from the Sidney family must have escaped from this place."
Seeing these traces, Gray became more and more certain that someone in the Sidney family must have successfully escaped.
From these traces, people who wanted to destroy the Sidney family must have chased after them and wanted to break through the metal wall. However, the metal wall was harder than imagined, and these people ultimately failed.
After leaving the ruins of Sidney Castle and re-entering Sidney City, Gray left Sidney City calmly after getting the blood of the violent wolf he purchased from the Rex Chamber of Commerce branch.
During the process, Gray met other noble families who came to check. Gray just said hello calmly and said nothing more.
He did not make public the news that there might be anyone alive in the Sidney family.
It is not known whether the group has left Sidney City. If the group knew that he knew that someone in the Sidney family was alive and had the idea of saving someone in the Sidney family, the Fergus family might Hence the disaster.
People need to be saved, but they can only do so quietly, and they must not let the other party realize that it is the Fergus family who is saving people.
He still had some confidence in this. On the way to Sidney City, he had already set up several teleportation points in secret places.
As long as they meet up with those who escaped from the Sidney family, they can completely use these teleportation points to bring the survivors of the Sidney family to the Fergus family and hide them without anyone noticing.
