Half a month later, in the evening, in the restaurant of Viscount Fergus's castle.
On the ceiling, a huge lotus-shaped crystal lamp sheds bright light. Just one lamp illuminates the spacious restaurant as bright as day.
The crystal lamp is not the grease lamp in Gray's room, but a rune lamp made by a rune master.
If you look closely, you can find that the center of the huge lotus-shaped crystal is surrounded by a circle of weird runes.
Some of these runes looked like beasts lying on their backs, some looked like sacrificial movements, some looked like standing snakes... and more, they were weird lines that looked like nothing.
This kind of rune lamp is extremely expensive. Even with the background of the Viscount family, it is impossible to place one in every room. It can only be placed in some important rooms, such as banquet halls, restaurants, conference rooms...
Under the light, seven people were sitting around a long dining table.
The person at the main seat was a middle-aged man with blond hair. He was wearing a long coat with two rows of buttons on the chest and a Laba collar around his neck.
With a slightly blond beard, a pair of blue eyes, and an air of undisguised majesty, he was the owner of the Viscount Castle, Emerson Fergus.
Sitting opposite him was a brown-haired woman.
The woman was wearing a low-cut black gauze skirt, with a large sapphire necklace hanging around her neck. She looked graceful and luxurious.
Although her face is slightly older, she can vaguely see her beauty when she was young, but her lips are slightly thin, which inevitably gives people the impression of being mean.
This person is Milan Harris, Viscount Fergus's wife, a woman from the Baron family.
On the right hand side of Viscount Fergus, three young men, two men and one woman, were sitting. They were, in order, the eldest brother of this body, Bernard Fergus, the second brother of this body, Ellis Fergus. The embodied third sister, Caroline Fergus.
The former two inherited Viscount Fergus's blond hair and blue eyes, while the latter's eyes were inherited from Viscount Fergus, but his hair color was inherited from the Viscountess. He is about a year older than Gray, tall and has a high nose bridge. Well, he has the excellent genes of Viscount Fergus and Viscountess Fergus.
Sitting on the left side of Viscount Fergus are Gray and his half-sister Sarah Fergus.
Both of them have black hair color, inherited from their mother who died of depression, and blue eyes, inherited from Viscount Fergus.
Ding ding!
The sound of a table knife colliding with a white porcelain plate sounded softly.
In the restaurant, Viscount Fergus and others had finished their meal, and only Gray was still dining. This was already his second dinner.
This is the first time Gray has come to a restaurant to dine since his injury.
Seeing Gray who was eating his second dinner, some people looked calm, such as Viscount Fergus and his wife, and Gray's nominal eldest brother Bernal, because they had already heard from the servants that Gray's appetite had increased greatly in recent days. , each meal will serve two people.
Some people stared at Gray in surprise, such as the third sister Caroline in this body. She was more indifferent and indifferent to the two illegitimate children, brother and sister, whom her father brought back because of their influence on her. Almost zero.
Ding!
Placing the knife and silver fork flat on the porcelain plate, taking the tablecloth handed by the maid next to him, Gray wiped his lips and hands and said with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"I'm sorry, father, madam, my appetite has suddenly increased recently."
Originally, he planned to only eat one portion for one person, and planned to go back to the bedroom and ask Barbara to get another portion. However, thinking that his appetite had suddenly increased greatly in the past few days, Viscount Fergus might have known about it, so he just decided to eat it. No more hiding.
"It doesn't matter."
Viscount Fergus spoke calmly.
"Now that you are growing, you should eat more."
Viscountess Fergus Milan said with a faint smile on her face.
The smile on his face was impeccable, with a sense of intimacy and no hint of alienation.
But Gray knew that all this was a disguise. The original owner of the body and his sister were connected to this castle. She was probably the most unhappy. After all, they were the children of Viscount Fergus's lover. What real wife would Are you happy to live with your husband’s lover’s children
Moreover, if that assassination really came from some of the four people, I am afraid that the Viscountess's influence was indispensable. After all, if you want to mobilize people without alerting Viscount Fergus, you can only let Her natal family took action.
"How are you recovering from your injuries?"
Viscount Fergus asked again.
"Thank you for your concern, father. It's almost better now."
Gray said with a slightly "excited" expression.
After saying this, even he himself felt goosebumps.
Now the person who dominates this body is no longer the original Gray, and there is no father-son relationship with Viscount Fergus at all. However, in order not to show any abnormality, he has no choice but to "behave" like this.
Now he is facing the threat of the mastermind behind the scenes, and he cannot do without the protection of Viscount Fergus. If he loses the protection of Viscount Fergus, the assassins may arrive immediately, so the protective umbrella of Viscount Fergus cannot be lost yet. .
Moreover, he did not think that Viscount Fergus was really very kind to the original owner of the body, at least not all the time. In his opinion, Viscount Fergus was a person who paid more attention to interests than family ties.
In the previous 16 years, Viscount Fergus had paid almost no attention to the Gray siblings and only visited them a handful of times. Because of this, their mother died of depression.
And when Gray showed his excellent talent as a blood warrior, he suddenly seemed to have a conscience, and connected the two people into the castle. Obviously, everything was because of Gray's talent. In the final analysis, it was because Gray's current talent was worth it. Values he values.
"That's good."
Viscount Fergus seemed very satisfied with Gray's performance and said with a faint smile on his face.
"You can ask your elder brother Bernal for advice on training. He is now a mid-level blood warrior."
"I will, Father."
Gray first responded "respectfully", then looked at Bernal, the nominal eldest brother, and said.
"I might have to disturb Brother Bernal then."
"welcome any time."
Bernal said with a sunny smile on his face.
Beside him, Gray's second brother Ellis, because of the presence of Viscount Fergus, suppressed the contemptuous expression on his face when he saw Gray, and watched the "interaction" between the two with cold eyes.
He didn't know about Gray, but he knew about his elder brother. His hatred and disgust for Gray were even worse than his.
The conversation after dinner only lasted for a while and then came to an end. After saying hello to Sarah, Gray returned to his bedroom and lay on his back on the soft bed, with thoughts racing in his mind.
"My body is indeed undergoing some kind of transformation..."
It had been half a month since the last time he took blood beast blood. Within this half month, his food intake had greatly increased. Each meal was twice as much as a normal person's, and this was only barely full.
If he wasn't afraid of being too abnormal, he even planned to have a meal for three people, but after careful consideration, he gave up.
A meal for two people can barely cover it up with a large increase in food intake, but a meal for three people would be too abnormal.
After eating such a large amount, his changes were obvious. His physical fitness was increasing at a perceptible rate every day. Half a month later, he was able to complete the second posture for the second time.
"And this rapid growth is obviously not due to practicing the blood method."
In order to judge whether this increase was related to practicing the blood method, or not, yesterday, he did not practice the blood method all day long, but when he practiced the next day, he still felt the increase in physical fitness, and it was the same as the previous day. not much differences.
Obviously, the enhancement of his physical fitness did not come from practicing the blood method. At least most of the effects did not come from practicing the blood method, but should come from some unknown "transformation".
"What kind of transformation is this? To what extent can my strength be improved at the end of the transformation?"
As for the cause of this "transformation", Gray can almost lock on the blood beast blood he took a few days ago, but as to what kind of transformation is taking place in his body, and to what extent his strength can be improved after the transformation, he But he didn't know.
Searching through the memories of the original owner of the body, there was no memory that had the slightest resemblance to this transformation.
"Now it seems that the blood power of the original owner of the body has not completely disappeared but has been hidden. This speculation cannot be completely denied. I am afraid that only the blood power can be re-upgraded to a lower-level blood warrior. Let's see if the physical fitness will improve quickly. Only then can we judge the correctness of this guess.”
"Also, the original owner of this body is just an illegitimate child. The level he has access to is too low and the amount of information he knows is too little. It seems that he needs to go to the castle library tomorrow to check out the relevant books on blood magic. "
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of a reason. Gray skipped the matter about physical transformation and thought of the benefits brought by this transformation.
"This transformation allows me to quickly improve my physical fitness, which is absolutely good news for me."
If he continues to improve at the current rate, it will probably only take him more than a month to reach the level of a low-level blood warrior again. By then, the risk of his being exposed will be greatly reduced.
In the entire castle, Viscount Fergus and others did not know him well. They only knew that he had cultivated the power of bleeding and had reached the level of a low-level blood warrior. After all, they had only been together for more than two months.
And as long as he regains the strength of the lower blood warrior, the possibility of being exposed can be said to be extremely small.
As for his sister Sarah, who knew the original owner of the body very well, she was just a little girl. With his adult mind and the memory of the original owner of the body, if he couldn't fool even a little girl, then he would be too much. Waste.
