Ten days later, the remaining top leaders of the noble families arrived in the royal capital.
A year later, Gray came to the royal capital again.
There are rumors that the royal capital was built when the Purple Moon Kingdom was founded, and there are also rumors that it was preserved from the imperial period.
A thousand years or even more than a thousand years have made it full of vicissitudes, and you can feel the changes of time and the passage of time from it.
It is towering and majestic, like a lying giant beast, as if it will wake up at any time.
This is not a metaphor, it is a fact.
After thousands of years of perfection by the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom, the city's underground and even above the city walls are full of rune patterns. Once the formation formed by these rune patterns is fully activated, it will have amazing defensive power and terrifying attack power.
And the most terrifying thing is the possible ultimate method in the rumors.
It can bless the power of the Royal Capital's formation patterns on people. Even a wild-blooded warrior can possess the strength of a king-level warrior with the blessing of the power of the Royal Capital's formation patterns.
There are not many king-level warriors in the royal family, but there are definitely many warrior-level warriors. It is conceivable that if these powerful warriors are blessed by the power of the royal capital's formations and all have the strength of king-level warriors, they will be What an amazing thing.
Even if the Flame Kingdom comes, it will definitely be defeated.
Regarding this rumor, Gray didn't know whether it was true or not, but he vaguely felt that the rumor was probably true.
And I feel that compared to the Ziyue Kingdom, the other three kingdoms also have more or less similar methods.
The reason why the Purple Moon Kingdom, the Crimson Kingdom, and the Gem Kingdom can compete with the Flame Kingdom, which has significantly more king-level experts than them, is to form an alliance. The most important thing is probably this ultimate foundation.
At the gate of the royal capital, there was a lot of excitement. There were nobles and civilians, all cheering and welcoming the return of the nobles headed by Francis Violet.
Francis Violet stood on the desolate-level blood beast, fresh and handsome, but without losing its majestic aura.
After him, there are Sophia and Hilya and other important members of the royal family.
After that, there are the duke families, the marquis family and a large number of nobles.
Gray mingled among the Marquis' senior executives and was not too conspicuous.
Although his record was extremely terrifying, his reputation among the commoners and nobles of the royal capital was extremely low, and almost no one recognized him.
He rode a war horse in a low-key manner, walking side by side with Saroyan, Pearly, and Darren.
Entering the royal capital, he and the three of them stayed at the residence arranged by the royal family.
"I never thought you could make it this far!"
Saroyan sighed slightly at the residence of four people.
He still clearly remembered the first time he met Gray a few years ago.
At that time, although the opponent was quite talented and was already a mid-level blood warrior at the age of less than 17, it was absolutely unimaginable that the opponent would grow up to be able to kill wild blood warriors in just a few years, and his reputation would spread throughout Ziyue. Kingdom level.
Gray smiled. With the ability to transform, he could have expected that he could reach this point, but he was still quite happy that he could grow to this point.
After thinking about it, he solemnly thanked the three people.
"Thank you very much for the title reward in the kingdom."
Under normal circumstances, feudal nobles would be resented if they left distant nobles, but the three of them were very generous and did not have any dissatisfaction with him, which moved him very much.
"No, the Sidney family has done enough."
Pearlie shook her head.
She has dazzling blond hair, big eyes, and skin as white as ivory. After a year of great changes in her family, she looks more mature and stable.
She had no resentment towards Gray's separation from the Sidney family.
Gray had done a lot for the Sidney family. If Gray hadn't risked his life to save them, they might have died in the pursuit, and then he risked his life to protect them and came to the royal capital to inherit the title.
It can be said that the Sidney family still exists entirely because of Gray's contribution.
Now that Gray is facing the threat of the Nahum family and needs such an identity to protect herself, she naturally has no reason to resent or stop her.
"Gray, don't be too burdened. Even if my father is still here, if you encounter such a situation, he will definitely support you in accepting the title."
Seeing Gray's concern about accepting the knighthood, Saroyan patted Gray on the shoulder and said.
"Father… "
When mentioning the old head of the Sidney family, both Pearly and Darren couldn't help but feel slightly sad. Even though a year has passed, some pain will never be forgotten.
The events of that day seemed to have happened yesterday, and they were still vivid in their minds, making them unforgettable. For many days and nights, they were dreaming about the nightmare of that night.
After glancing at Pearly and Darren, and then at Saroyan, who also had slightly sad eyes, Gray hesitated for a moment, looked at the three of them and said seriously.
"If I can become a king-level warrior, I will kill the King of Killers to avenge the old Marquis!"
The old Marquis treated the Fergus family and Gray very well. When he was not strong enough to compete with the Oka family, it was the old Marquis who frightened the Oka family, so that the Oka family did not dare to take action against him. These things He had heard it from Saroyan.
Coupled with the generosity of the three Saroyans in regard to his separation from the Sidney family, he felt a little ashamed, which ultimately prompted him to make this decision.
"Gray, thank you... you!"
Pearly raised her head in surprise and stared at Gray with gratitude and excitement in her eyes.
"Gray, thank you!"
Saroyan and Darren also had surprise in their eyes. They stood up together with Pearly, bent at ninety degrees and saluted Gray.
Nowadays, the talent displayed by Gray is extremely valued by even the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom. He has a great possibility of becoming a king-level powerhouse. If it is the other party, he might really be able to kill the King of Killers, and for Xi De To avenge the dead members of the Ni family.
"You don't have to be like this. The old Marquis treated me very well. If I have the opportunity, I will naturally be obliged to do so."
Gray helped the three people up.
"Of course, the premise is that I can become a king-level warrior. Maybe I can't become a king-level warrior, and your expectations will be in vain."
"No, you will definitely become a king-level warrior!"
Pearly looked at Gray with beautiful eyes and said firmly.
Looking at Gray like this, a strange ripple appeared in her heart, as if a pebble was thrown into a dead lake, causing strange waves.
A few days later, Gray and Saroyan were transported by the royal carriage and entered the palace to attend the award banquet.
One by one, nobles came forward to accept the reward.
Rewards are awarded based on the statistics of combat merit, including monetary rewards, magical potions and magical weapons, and titles and territories.
Among them, a marquis family was born, and the Third Duke and Seventh Marquis of the Purple Moon Kingdom were officially changed to the Third Duke and Eighth Marquis.
The one who was promoted was the original Earl family, the Leo family, which was a family whose background was no worse than that of the Marquis family. Gray, Earl Fergus and others had accepted invitations from this family and participated in banquets held by this family.
This time, the family killed many Barbarian Blood warriors and finally accumulated enough military exploits to become a Marquis family.
Gray was rewarded with an earldom.
This reward is a bit small for his merits on the battlefield, but considering that this is the first time he has been awarded a title, this reward seems a bit too heavy.
Other families basically climbed up from lord, baron, and viscount through the efforts of several generations or even more than ten generations of the family, but he did it in one step and directly awarded the earl family. This is in the Purple Moon Kingdom. It is also rare in history.
The only one who surpassed him was the original Sidney family. Because their military exploits were so outstanding, the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom directly awarded them to the Marquis family.
In a room in the palace, Gray met Francis Violet and Sophia.
"Here, the red lines marked on the map are the fiefdoms prepared for you. Each piece is about 50,000 square kilometers. You can choose one by yourself!"
Francis Violet handed Gray a map of the entire Purple Moon Kingdom.
On the map, there are more than a dozen areas marked with red lines.
Some are slightly oval in shape, some are shaped like a gear, and some are shaped like a crescent... The shapes vary, but judging from the area, they should all be about the same size.
The 50,000 square kilometers is more than twice the current territory of the Fergus family. From this alone, it is not difficult to see that the nobles of the kingdom are treated better than the feudal nobles of the same rank.
And this is only preferential treatment in one aspect. I believe there will be a lot of preferential treatment in other aspects. No wonder the nobles of the kingdom of the same rank are generally more powerful than the feudal nobles. This is not without reason.
"These dozen or so places are all places with extremely superior natural conditions. They were specially selected by me and my brother."
Next to her, Sophia explained with a smile.
Gray thanked him gratefully and finally chose a crescent-shaped territory.
There is a large lake in the territory with very rich fish resources. I believe this lake alone can bring a lot of profits every year.
Of course, the most important thing is that this place is very close to Sidney. It should only take two or three days to get to Sidney.
After selecting the territory, Gray and the two chatted while drinking milk tea carefully prepared by the palace maid.
There was no particular topic, the content of their conversation was very casual and not specific.
Although the two of them had noble status, they did not use their status to oppress others. Gray did not find it difficult to get along with the two of them. Of course, this was only Gray's point of view. It was unknown whether other people would think so.
"Last time you said you wanted to travel to the Flame Kingdom. You definitely can't go to the Flame Kingdom, but there is a chance to go to the Gem Kingdom."
Looking at Gray, Francis Violet said with a smile.
