Hearing the girl's exclamation, Gray raised his head and looked confused. He didn't remember that he had any acquaintances in Cumberland.
This is a girl with a beautiful face. The most special thing is that she has a pair of lavender eyes, which are unusually conspicuous and beautiful.
Looking at the girl's lavender, unusually eye-catching eyes, Gray felt a little familiar. He felt that he should have met this girl before, but for a while he couldn't remember who she was.
"Who are you… ?"
Gray asked slightly embarrassed.
The other party obviously recognized him, but he failed to recognize the other party, which was a bit embarrassing.
"Damn it, damn it, you don't remember me?"
Seeing that Gray didn't recognize her, the girl's eyebrows suddenly stood up and her face became angry.
"who is it?"
Another voice sounded in the carriage, and then another beautiful woman was seen approaching the carriage window.
The woman also has a pair of lavender eyes, somewhat similar to the girl, but compared to the girl, she is a little more mature and steady, and she should be in her twenties.
"It's you!"
Seeing this woman, Gray finally remembered who these two people were.
A pair of sisters, and a pair of very beautiful sisters. They are very eye-catching at any time and leave a very deep impression on people. Relying on this, he finally remembered.
In order to implant the blood of the Storm Wolf, he went to Tourt City to auction the blood essence of the Storm Wolf. On the way back, in order to deal with the robbery, he briefly cooperated with a pair of sisters.
But I haven't seen him since then. It has been two or three years. I didn't expect to meet him here and the other party recognized him at a glance.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Gray smiled.
"This is no coincidence."
The two women got out of the carriage. The older woman smiled and then said gracefully.
"Let me formally meet you, I am Jasiya Cumberland, and this is my sister Audrey Cumberland!"
Cumberland? The Marquis of Cumberland family
Gray was surprised. The city here was called Cumberland City, which was the territory of the Marquis of Cumberland family. The surname of the sisters was Cumberland. The result was obvious. The sisters must be children of the Marquis of Cumberland family.
And his status in the Cumberland family is definitely not low. The last time they cooperated, the other party was protected by a mad blood warrior.
Although a mad blood warrior is nothing to him now, it is enough to show that the identities of these two sisters are not simple, and they are probably direct children.
"Grey Fergus."
Gray introduced himself.
"Why are you here?"
Audrey looked at Gray angrily, obviously very upset that Gray didn't recognize her.
"Get ready to return to the territory and stop by."
Gray smiled bitterly.
This time he was resented by the other party again. He remembered that he seemed to be resented by the other party last time because he did not let the sisters ride in the carriage.
"Thanks to you for what happened last time. Please be sure to be a guest of the Cumberland family this time."
Jessea extended an invitation to Gray, and Gray resisted it for a while, but in the end, under Jessea's strong invitation, he could not refuse. He got on the carriage of the two of them and headed to the Cumberland family.
Arriving at the Cumberland family, Gray was placed in an elegant courtyard in Cumberland Castle.
The castle was quite lively. Sisters Jessea and Audrey met several groups of people on their way to the courtyard with Gray. Judging from their names, these people, like Gray, were not members of the Cumberland family. .
"Did something happen in the castle?"
Gray asked curiously.
"My sister was promoted to the Mad Blood Warrior not long ago. There will be a banquet to celebrate her tonight. These people are all invited."
Audrey said proudly.
Purple eyes looked at Gray expectantly, and those eyes seemed to say, "How about it, isn't it great?"
"Congratulations!"
Gray's eyes were slightly surprised, and then he sincerely congratulated Jessea.
The other party is not too old, only in his twenties. At this age, to be able to become a mad blood warrior, it goes without saying that he is talented.
As night fell, a grand banquet was being held in the Cumberland Family Banquet Hall, and Gray was naturally among the invitees.
Of course, to attend such a celebration banquet, you need to prepare gifts as a courtesy.
Of course, Gray didn't prepare a gift in advance, but he had a lot of trophies. He remembered that the other party seemed to use a gun, so he picked a long gun that was close to the bronze level as a gift.
Naturally, Gray had no acquaintance in the huge banquet hall, but he did not appear restrained. He had attended such banquets many times and was able to handle them with ease. He quickly joined the discussion of a group of young people.
The topic inevitably came to the Cemetery of Kings.
Even though more than a month has passed, the King's Cemetery is still the hottest topic nowadays.
The people who talked about it had a look of envy and fear on their faces. They were envious of the massive treasures and powerful magical weapons in the King's Cemetery, but they were also afraid of the dangers in the King's Cemetery. Even four barbarian blood warriors had died.
"Have you heard? More than 10 days ago, the Wallen family suffered a big loss. I heard that even Marquis Wallen was seriously injured, and some were even disabled!"
someone said.
"What?"
"What force did it?"
"Could it be done by one of the three duke families?"
Everyone who heard it looked surprised.
The Warren family, even among the Marquis families, is a family that can be ranked at the forefront. It can make such a family suffer, and the power to take action is not unpowerful.
"No, this force is not the Third Duke family, or even the Marquis family. I heard that it was done by the person in the King's Cemetery who had a conflict with the Warren family?"
"What, one person did it? How is that possible?"
"What family does this person come from? Is he from a hidden family?"
…
Everyone was discussing this topic, and Gray was in a complicated mood. He didn't expect that the topic would come to him, so he calmly changed the topic.
"Does anyone know what the situation is like on the border with the Flame Kingdom now?"
"It's not optimistic. I heard that a war could break out at any time."
said a noble young man.
"Indeed, frictions continue. I heard that frictions occur every day. Large-scale conflicts almost occurred in the past few days, but both parties endured it."
Another noble young man said.
"Hmph, I really thought that our Ziyue Kingdom was easy to bully, so we wouldn't be able to fight."
A young black-haired nobleman said.
There was no fear in his voice, but a sense of eagerness to try.
War is not all bad, at least for nobles.
Military exploits, wealth, titles... all kinds of things, what is the fastest way to obtain them
Of course it's war.
Only in war can one quickly accumulate military exploits and gain wealth and title.
The family of the black-haired young man is obviously a member of the radical faction and hopes to gain titles and wealth through war.
After listening for a while, Gray left the group.
"I hope there won't be a war!"
He raised an eyebrow.
The area bordering the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Flame Kingdom belongs to the territory of the Nahum family. Because of the silver metal ball, he had a conflict with this family. For the silver metal ball, this family once searched for him nationwide. If it weren't for Sophia Help cover it up, he may have been discovered by this family.
In order to avoid being discovered by the Nahum family, he naturally hid as far away from Nahum territory as possible.
But if a war breaks out, even if you don't want to go to Nahum Territory, you may have to go. After all, when a war breaks out, the Sidney family will definitely be drafted, and the Fergus family will naturally have to follow.
Although there is also the option not to follow the Fergus family, however, the current strength of the Sidney Territory is declining, and there are no strong men who can take it at all. If there are not enough strong men to sit in, the chance of survival on the battlefield will be It can be said to be extremely small.
"you are here!"
Two beautiful women came over carrying tall crystal glasses.
One of them is wearing a white dress, elegant and beautiful, while the other is wearing a yellow dress, cute and cute, they are the sisters Jessea and Audrey.
Gray clinked glasses with the two of them, took a sip of red wine, and said.
"You can do whatever you want, don't worry about me!"
"It's okay. Those who should say hello have basically said hello. Besides, you are also our distinguished guest!"
Jessea said with an elegant smile.
"Who is this one?"
Following the sound, a young man walked over. He was a handsome man with slightly fair skin and an impeccable smile on his face.
"Let me introduce you, Gray. This is Master Nelson, who comes from the Marquis Spike family. Master Nelson, this is my friend Gray Fergus."
Jessea introduced the two of them, and then Gray and Nelson greeted each other.
"Gray, it seems that the surname Fergus does not exist among the kingdom's nobles. Your family is a feudal noble?"
A few people were chatting, and Nelson seemed to ask casually and without any contempt.
"Yes, my family is the tetrarch of Sidney."
Gray glanced at Nelson, nodded and said.
The other party's attitude was polite, and his words and deeds were impeccable, but Gray was keenly aware of the other party's vague hostility, but he didn't understand why the other party could be hostile to him.
"The Sidney family?"
Jessea and Audrey were shocked. They were naturally aware of the changes in the Sidney family. They did not expect that Gray was actually a nobleman from the Sidney territory.
"The Sidney family..."
Nelson was also slightly shocked, but there was a trace of undetectable contempt in his eyes.
Soon after, Jessea and Audrey said goodbye and left, leaving only Gray and Nelson.
Nelson moved slightly closer to Gray, and his voice suddenly turned cold.
"If you want to marry into the Campbell family and join the Marquis family, I think you have made the wrong decision. You don't have any chance!"
