When he came downstairs, Gray spotted the person who wanted to see him at a glance, because the other person was too conspicuous.
Wearing an aristocratic orange dress, her hair hangs down behind her and is tied with an orange ribbon. Her face is fair and beautiful.
It's just that she is different from ordinary noble ladies in that she has a tall and straight figure, with a hint of heroism in her softness.
"It's you… "
When he saw the woman, Gray immediately recognized her. This woman was one of the two women who followed Sophia. He remembered that her name should be Julie.
She was quite capable, but the most special thing was that this woman was a rare rune master, which left a deep impression on Gray.
"I have met Master Gray. The lady asked me to come over and invite you."
Julie smiled at Gray, performed a standard aristocratic salute, and then said.
"How do you know I live here?"
Gray frowned slightly, he was fully prepared. He had not even arrived in the royal capital for a day, but the other party actually knew that he lived here, which made him wary.
"You had a conflict with the Warren family on the first day you came here. It's hard not to notice you!"
Julie smiled.
"What is the identity of your young lady?"
Gray asked with a frown.
He originally guessed that Sophia came from the Duke family, but now, he is not so sure about this guess.
"Sorry, you'd better ask the lady. Since the lady didn't tell you, as a servant, I can't make any arbitrary decisions."
Julie shook her head slightly.
"Okay, please lead the way!"
Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Gray had no choice but to let the other party lead the way.
He was wary to a certain extent about Sophia because it was too mysterious. After all, people are always wary when facing the unknown.
But so far, he didn't feel any malice from the other party. It would be better to say that he got a lot of urgently needed things from the other party.
The Barbarian Blood Technique of the Wind Wolf Sequence and the Savage Level Blood Technique of the Wind Wolf Sequence were both acquired from the other party, and now he still owes the other party 1.05 million gold coins.
Following Julie, Gray got into a luxuriously decorated carriage and was driven out of the tavern by the carriage.
The Royal Capital is a huge city with a permanent population of tens of millions. It is so huge that it is difficult to walk from one end to the other in a day.
The carriage drove for half an hour and entered a mansion.
This is a very huge mansion. The architecture is exquisite and beautiful, with huge stone pillars, towering corners, and bright colors, but it does not appear complicated, but is very harmonious and unified.
There are no traces of time in the buildings in the mansion. It can be seen that the construction of this mansion should not take too long.
After walking through the mansion for a while, Gray was finally led to a garden.
Under the morning sunshine, flowers of various colors in the garden compete with each other, and the fragrance of the flowers is fragrant.
Beside a stone table, Sophia was wearing a purple aristocratic dress, with long purple hair shawl, and a beautiful face, like an elf in a flower.
"Please sit down!"
Seeing Gray arriving, Sophia stretched out her hand to signal Gray to sit across from him, made a cup of milk tea and handed it to Gray's seat.
Gray picked it up and took a sip. The tea was mixed with the rich aroma of milk. Now that Gray was influenced by aristocratic life, he could naturally taste that the milk and tea used in this cup of milk tea must be extremely high-end.
After thinking about it, Gray took out a wooden box from the purple ring, placed it on the table, and opened it.
In the wooden box, there are black and purple coins lying one after another, which are magic coins.
"This is the 1.05 million gold coins I owed you last time."
Gray spoke.
"Looks like you made a killing!"
Sophia smiled slightly, glanced at the purple magic ring in Gray's hand, took out the rune space bag and put the wooden box away.
"So be it!"
Gray shrugged and looked directly at Sophia. Of course, he was not obsessed, but he was sizing up this person and wanting to see through this person.
Ever since he came into contact with the other party, the other party gave him the feeling of being extremely mysterious, as if shrouded in fog, both in his behavior and in the things he did.
Facing Gray's extremely "aggressive" gaze, Sophia did not turn away shyly like other noble ladies, nor did she attack him like a pervert like some noble ladies. Instead, she asked very calmly and generously. road.
"You want to ask me something?"
"yes."
Gray nodded, then looked at the other party seriously.
"Who are you exactly?"
"Is this important?"
Sophia asked rhetorically.
"I can't say whether it's important or not, but don't you think it's unfair that only you know my identity, but I don't know yours?"
Gray looked at the other party and said.
"Well, it is indeed a bit unfair. Since you want to know, let me tell you that I am the second princess of the Purple Moon Kingdom."
Sophia said calmly.
"Second princess?"
Gray stared at Sophia blankly.
When the other party asked Julie to invite him, he vaguely guessed that the other party was not from the Third Duke family, but from the royal family. After all, the royal capital was the territory of the royal family, and the other party had such well-informed information channels in the royal capital. It must be related to the royal family.
However, when I got the confirmation from the other party, I couldn't help but be shocked. Not only was the other party a member of the royal family, but he also had a high status in the royal family. He was actually a direct descendant of the royal family.
"Yes, I have a sister above me, so I am the second princess."
Sophia said very calmly.
"Your identity is really scary."
After a while, Gray showed a strange look on his face and said.
He once had the idea that after his strength reached the king level and he was qualified to talk to the royal family, he would contact the royal family and exchange it for blood beast blood that surpassed the king level.
But he didn't expect that he himself had already been in contact with the royal family and had already made deals. He didn't know whether he should be called lucky or unlucky.
"I'm sure you won't be scared."
Sophia took a sip of milk tea gracefully and smiled slightly.
"You really trust me."
Gray smiled wryly and shrugged.
He was indeed surprised, but he was not frightened. With his current strength, he was no worse than the average marquis family, so he would not be frightened because of the identity of the other princess.
Moreover, Gray himself is very clear about his own potential. As long as he is given time, it is inevitable to become a king-level powerhouse. With this kind of potential, he will not feel inferior in front of the other party.
"Of course, I am very optimistic about you."
Sophia blinked her beautiful eyes slightly and said half-jokingly.
"Thank you very much."
Gray laughed.
"You should really thank me. I helped you solve a big problem."
Sophia smiled.
"Big trouble?"
Gray looked at her doubtfully.
"Nei~em~mu~family."
Sophia said softly with her red lips.
"What… ?"
Gray's pupils shrank suddenly and he almost stood up from his seat. He looked at Sophia in surprise. He did not expect to hear about the Nahum family from Sophia's mouth.
"A few months ago, the Nahum family conducted a large-scale search for you in the kingdom, but I suppressed it and helped you cover it up a bit."
Sophia said with a slightly solemn expression.
"How could you offend the Nahum family? And judging from the Nahum family's attitude of not sparing manpower, it is obvious that they will not give up easily."
"Some time ago, I led Nahum to the Thunder Forest to get a silver metal ball like last time, but it was targeted by people from the Nahum family..."
Gray explained.
Originally, he was still wondering why, given the intelligence capabilities of Duke Nahum's family, his information was not found. After all, he was also a well-known figure in the Sidney Territory. Unexpectedly, it was because Sophia helped cover it up.
Although I don't know exactly how the other party did it, there is no doubt that I owe the other party a big favor this time.
"Thanks."
Gray thanked him sincerely.
Although even if he is found by the Nahum family, he is sure to escape with everyone in the Fergus family, but that will inevitably abandon the foundation that the Fergus family has worked hard for for generations. He will never do this unless it is absolutely necessary.
"No, although I have covered you up, it doesn't mean that the Nahum family can't find you. You should be careful."
Sophia reminded solemnly.
After staying in Sophia's mansion for a while, Gray said goodbye and left. He learned that the Nahum family was searching for him, which gave him an extreme sense of urgency.
"Your Highness, is it worth investing so much in him?"
Not long after Gray left, Julie walked into the garden and frowned slightly.
"Although his potential is good, the blood method he has practiced has limited his growth. His future achievements will only be that of an ordinary wild blood warrior at best."
The difference between special blood methods and ordinary blood methods is not only reflected in power, but also in terms of growth.
The highest level of ordinary blood magic is only the desolate level. The desolate level is already the highest level of ordinary blood. The next higher level, the king level, can only be achieved by those who practice special blood methods.
"His bloodline has mutated. If he is lucky enough, it is possible to become a king-level warrior."
Sophia smiled mysteriously.
“As for whether it’s worth it or not, you’ll never be able to decide until the last minute.”
