"Warner Nahum?"
Gray raised an eyebrow.
In the past six months, he and Warner Nahum met several times at parties. Every time they met, the other party would give him a cold look.
However, apart from the cold stare, the other party did not do anything provocative, and the scale was very measured. Even if Gray wanted to take the opportunity to take action against him, there was no chance.
Obviously the other party knew that he was no match for Gray and had been holding back. Even the sword that was taken away by Gray did not come out to ask for it.
"The war is over, and I'm afraid it won't be long before the Nahum family takes action against me..."
Naturally, Gray would not be so naive as to think that the Nahum family would give up because of Sophia.
The Nahum family will not let it go, because the last incident was disgraceful on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is probably the "magic weapon" that he exchanged for the mysterious silver metal mine.
Many of the various abilities he displayed on the battlefield will definitely be associated by the Nahum family with the magic weapons exchanged for silver metal ores. This magic weapon is probably even more inevitable.
"Hmph, I want to see what your Nahum family can do. You can't kill me on the battlefield, but can your Nahum family kill me?"
With a cold snort in his heart, Gray looked away and didn't bother to pay attention. He couldn't attack the other person at the banquet just because he didn't look at him well, so he could only let it go.
After the celebration banquet was over, Gray was stopped by Sophia as he was about to leave, and she took him to a living room.
There were already two people in the living room, one of whom was a handsome young man, and the other was a beautiful woman with a graceful figure. He knew both of them, so he said.
"Your Highness Francis, Your Highness Hilya!"
"Gray, sit down!"
Francis Violet had a handsome face and was very approachable. He smiled slightly and motioned for Gray to sit down.
Gray had nothing to be cautious about. He had met these two people several times at the party and sat down on the chair next to them.
But he was quite curious in his heart. He didn't know why these two people were looking for him. Originally, he thought it was Sophia looking for him, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case.
"Gray, you really shocked us this time. Not only did you kill Curtis Lieyan, but you also killed Texi Jeffrey and a wild-blood warrior from the Lieyan Kingdom. In this battle, You killed three desolate levels by yourself."
Francis Violet said with exclamation in his voice.
Although Tessie Jeffrey's realm has not yet reached the desolate level, his combat power with magic weapons is still at the desolate level, so Ziyue Kingdom also regards him as a desolate level combat power.
"I'm just lucky. Besides, this time, if Her Highness Sophia hadn't saved me, I would have almost fallen on the battlefield!"
Gray said with a wry smile.
"This is not luck. If it were luck, how come none of us were able to kill the Huang level, but you killed three people."
Hilya Violet smiled slightly and said with a smile.
She has high breasts and a curvy figure. She is wearing a long, close-fitting dress that fully reveals her perfect figure.
"You think so? Sophia?"
"It's really not luck."
Sophia also said with a bit of ridicule.
Her fair skin complements her gorgeous purple hair, and her face is playful now, exuding a different kind of beauty that is different from usual.
"But I'm sorry to tell you that you have been targeted by the Flame Kingdom. I believe that you will definitely be among the people that the Flame Kingdom wants to kill the most after today!"
"Does that mean I won't be able to enter the Kingdom of Flames in this life? I originally wanted to travel to the Kingdom of Flames."
The atmosphere was quite relaxed, and Gray joked easily.
"I still want to travel to the Kingdom of Flames, so dream on. I bet that once you step into the territory of the Kingdom of Flames, a king-level warrior will immediately come to hunt you down!"
Sophia rolled her eyes and said.
"Indeed, you don't have to go to the Flame Kingdom in this life. The other two kingdoms, the Crimson Kingdom, the Gem Kingdom, and the Purple Moon Kingdom are closely related, so you can go there."
Francis Violet laughed and answered.
After a few people chatted for a while, Francis Violet's face became slightly serious and he said.
"Gray, thank you for getting rid of three enemies for the Purple Moon Kingdom. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Purple Moon Kingdom."
"Your Highness Francis, you're welcome."
Gray responded sternly.
"You have accumulated a lot of military exploits by killing three wild-level warriors this time. After discussion between the three of us, we decided to apply for a title for you from the royal family."
"Title...?"
Green looked shocked and looked at Francis Violet in surprise. He almost thought that he had heard wrong. He actually planned to use military merit to apply for a knighthood for him. This was something he had never thought of.
The title the other party mentioned must not be a title of feudal nobles, but a title of kingdom nobles.
Although he knew that Ziyue Kingdom would never treat him badly for killing three desolate-level people, he never expected that it would actually decide to reward him with a title.
"But I am a descendant of a feudal noble, and the Sidney family..."
Gray raised his eyebrows slightly.
There is no need to argue whether the title of a noble in the kingdom is good or not. It is definitely many times better than the title of a feudal noble. Apart from anything else, the mere fact that the title is applicable to the entire Ziyue Kingdom is enough to make many people flock to it.
With this level of status, the entire Ziyue Kingdom can enjoy many preferential treatments.
However, his current status is that of a descendant of a feudal noble. If he accepts the feudal family, he will inevitably break away from the Sidney family. This is no different in nature from the Smalley family defecting to the Sidney family.
"Don't worry about the Sidney family. I have already communicated with Saroyan and they have agreed."
Francis Violet waved his hands slightly and said.
"And it's not that the Fergus family is separated from the Sidney family. It's just that you are separated from the Sidney family. The kingdom's nobility will be inherited by your line. The Fergus family's enfeoffed noble status can be inherited by your eldest brother's line."
"this… "
Gray is really a little hesitant. In fact, he doesn't pay too much attention to things like titles. He doesn't want to be distracted from his practice because of things like titles. He even has the idea of waiting for Bernal to reach the level of the Berserker. Bernal's idea of inheriting the title.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highnesses, but I don't want to spend too much energy on the management of the territory. I want to focus more on cultivation."
After thinking about it, he decided to refuse.
"Listen to what we have to say first, don't make a decision in a hurry."
Frances Violet shook his head.
"Concentrate your energy on your cultivation. The three of us agree on this. If you are distracted from your cultivation because of the territory, it will be a great loss to the Ziyue Kingdom."
"The royal family has already considered this situation. It has opened a special school to train many talents in management. I can take the decision to assign a few people to your territory and let them manage the territory for you. You only need to go to the territory once a year. Just collect taxes.”
Gray still had some hesitation. When he suddenly encountered this kind of thing, he was a little unsure whether this title would do more harm than good to him, or whether the good would outweigh the harm.
"What's there to hesitate about?"
Seeing that Gray still looked hesitant, Sophia said angrily.
"Don't forget, although I helped you suppress the last conflict between you and the Nahum family, the Nahum family may not let it go."
"With the current status of the Fergus family as a feudal noble, if the Nahum family is really cruel and wants to deal with you, even the royal family will not be able to stand up for you."
"Thank you, Your Highnesses, I am willing!"
After hearing what Sophia said, Gray finally made up his mind, stood up and bowed slightly to the three of them.
Indeed, if he becomes a noble of the kingdom, the Nahum family will no longer dare to blatantly attack him and the Fergus family.
He is quite powerful now, and he has forbidden weapons in his hands, but he never dares to say that he is completely unafraid of the Nahum family.
There has been a king-level powerful family in the past, and the background is not simple. It is very likely that they also have forbidden weapons. In this case, the deterrent effect of the forbidden weapons in his hands will be greatly reduced.
What worries him even more is that the other family almost certainly possesses silver-level magic weapons.
Silver-level magic weapons have a strong effect on increasing combat power. Although not every wild-blood warrior can exert the combat power of a king-level warrior in their hands.
But even the weakest wild-blood warrior would be extremely dangerous if he had such a silver-level magic weapon in his hand.
If he really encounters the opponent holding a silver-level magic weapon, he may have no choice but to use space teleportation to escape.
After a day of rest, the allied forces of the Purple Moon Kingdom began to evacuate the Dukedom of Nelm. Most people would return directly to their own territories, while important figures from the noble families of each kingdom would accompany them to the royal capital to receive rewards from the kingdom.
A few days later, the coalition forces left the Dukedom of Nelm. From time to time, teams left the coalition forces and returned to their own territories.
The Nahum family sent people to closely monitor Gray and others. Once Gray and the Fergus family left the coalition, they were ready to attack the Fergus family and Gray.
Soon, the coalition troops approached the Sidney territory. It was Sidney's turn to lead a group of feudal nobles to leave the coalition and return to the territory. The Fergus family was bound to be among them.
But at this moment, a news spread from the royal family and quickly spread throughout all the noble families.
"What, His Royal Highness Francis will apply for a knighthood for Gray Fergus?"
After hearing the news, Warner Nahum crushed the wine glass with a click, and the scarlet wine spilled into his hands, as if it were blood.
His heart was filled with violent emotions. He had been waiting to kill Gray Fergus, but he didn't expect such a change to happen.
"What should we do? Gray Fergus will become a noble soon. After he becomes a noble, if he attacks him, the royal family will never ignore him!"
"Why don't we kill him directly before he participates in the knighting ceremony? After all, he is not yet an official noble."
A senior member of the Nahum family said with a ruthless look in his eyes.
The head of the Nahum family had a flickering look in his eyes, and finally sighed.
"It's too late. The news has already spread. If you dare to take action against him again, the royal family will never ignore it."
"Father, can this be the end of it?"
Warner Nahum was unwilling to accept it.
"Of course not, but he is already a noble after all. If you want to attack him, you must be more cautious. Stop your action first and look for opportunities next time. You must not be discovered by the royal family."
A cold look flashed in Duke Nahum's eyes.
