Autumn is the season of harvest, but also the season of withering.
The Fergus family's team moved quickly on the winding road, kicking up a cloud of dust.
On both sides of the road, there are trees, shrubs, and weeds that have turned yellow. The autumn wind blows, and the fallen leaves fall from the trees, fluttering, circling and rolling in the air, like yellow elves in the wind.
Occasionally, I would pass by the fields, and I could clearly see that the fields were empty and the crops had obviously been harvested.
After resting and eating by the road at noon, they set off again. In the afternoon, when the sun was almost invisible, Gray and the others entered a small city with a population of about 3,000 and arrived in front of a castle built on a hillside. .
There were already many people waiting in front of the castle, led by three people.
In the center is a middle-aged man with brown hair and a brown beard. He is nearly 1.8 meters tall and has a slightly thin build.
On his left is a middle-aged woman wearing a black skirt. As she reaches middle age, the woman's appearance has been slightly deformed, but she can still see her beauty when she was young.
On his right was a young man in his early twenties. He had brown hair and was wearing lake blue clothes. He looked quite handsome.
These three people are Baron Bloor Harris, Baroness Beth Milne, and their heir Kevin Harris.
Because the Fergus family had sent cavalry to notify them in advance, they knew that Gray and the others would arrive today.
The Fergus family's team stopped, the cavalry jumped off their horses, and Gray and others walked towards the carriage under the leadership of Viscount Fergus.
"Viscount Fergus."
"Baron Harris."
First, Viscount Fergus and Baron Harris greeted each other. Their titles were more formal. After all, they both represented their respective families. In such an occasion where outsiders were present, neither of them would weaken their respective families. identity.
"Brother, sister-in-law."
"Uncle, aunt, cousin."
"Aunt, uncle, cousin Bernal, cousin Ellis, cousin Caroline."
…
Then the wives and children of both parties came forward to greet each other.
Gray and Sarah also came forward to greet them, but they did not follow Bernal and others in calling them, but just called them "Baron Harris, Mrs. Bess, Brother Kevin".
We can clearly feel the special looks cast by Baron Hals and the other three. It is obvious that the three of them know the identities of Gray and Sarah.
Sarah was a little nervous and grabbed Gray's arm tightly, but Gray faced it calmly.
No matter what attitude the three Harris family members have towards the two of them, their status in the Fergus family cannot be shaken now.
Apart from spending the night with the Harris family tonight, they will not have much interaction with the Harris family in the future, so there is no need to care about the Harris family's attitude towards them.
"this way please!"
The cavalry and carriage were led by the servants of the Harris family to settle down first, while Gray and others were led by the three Barons of Harris to a spacious living room.
There is a rose-shaped rune lamp above the head of the spacious living room. The surrounding walls and floors are beige, and there are vases and other porcelain decorations around it.
Compared with the largest living room of the Fergus family, the area is smaller and the decoration is also a bit worse. However, the Harris family is only a baron family after all, so it is natural that there are some differences with the Fergus family.
"Congratulations on getting a cold tiger cub!"
After everyone took their seats, Baron Harris looked at Viscount Fergus with envy in his eyes.
"I'm so envious to hear that you got a cold tiger cub!"
"Thank you. It's mostly luck that I got the cold tiger cub this time."
Viscount Fergus smiled slightly. Although there was no proud look on his face, the pride in his heart could clearly be felt.
It is indeed something to be proud of to get a blood beast that can be compared to a ferocious blood warrior when it reaches adulthood, and it only takes three years to reach adulthood and become a fighting force.
"Haha, I'm being humble. You can get it mostly because of the strength of your Fergus family."
Baron Harris shook his head.
"If it were my Harris family, even if it was discovered, I'm afraid it would be taken away by the Locke family."
"Yes, uncle, we were able to obtain the cold tiger cub this time entirely because of the strength of your Fergus family."
Kevin Harris also smiled.
"I really wanted to see that cold tiger cub, but it's a pity that you didn't bring it with me."
"Cousin, after the Marquis's birthday party is over this time, why not come with us to the Fergus family as guests, so that we can see the cold tiger cubs."
Bernal suggested aloud.
"Yes, cousin, come with us to the Fergus family then. It's been a long time since you visited our Fergus family."
Ellis was also happy.
"Okay, I will go to the Fergus family with you then."
Kevin Harris was obviously moved by this proposal. A cold tiger cub would become a ferocious combat power when it grew up. He really wanted to go to the Fergus family to have a look.
"My cousin will have to stay longer by then, and we haven't seen each other for more than a year."
Caroline also smiled slightly and said.
"It seems that your Fergus family has done several big things this year that attracted attention. At this Marquis's birthday party, you may be targeted by several other viscount families."
Baron Harris said with a slightly serious expression.
"That's what I estimated."
Viscount Fergus's face also became serious, and he just wanted to take aim at it. The key point is that this involves the Marquis of Sidney family's preference for the resources of each family, which indeed needs to be treated with caution.
"The families you need to be most careful about this time are the Lichens family, the Bessemer family, and the Locke family. Among these three families, the younger generation is extremely powerful."
Baron Harris said.
"Especially the Locke family. The last time they failed to capture the Cold Tiger cubs, they will definitely target you this time. Moreover, both Alf Locke and Morey Locke are already mid-level blood warriors."
Based on his information sources, he only knew that the Locke family suddenly appeared to snatch the cold tiger cubs, but they were not able to snatch the cold tiger cubs away. The rest was not very clear.
The Locke family did not publicize the fight between Gray and Morey Locke because they had a plan. The Fergus family also did not want people to know too early that Gray was already a mid-level blood warrior, so they deliberately blocked the news.
"I see."
Viscount Fergus nodded, but glanced at Gray.
Not only him, but Bernal could not help but glance at Gray at this time, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
If there were no Gray this time, the pressure from the Fergus family would probably be on him. Although he is already a mid-level blood warrior, other viscount families also have mid-level blood warriors, such as the Locke family and the Richens family. If there are as many as two, the pressure will be even greater.
Although many-on-one challenges are prohibited, wheel battles are not prohibited. After all, having more people is an advantage. This advantage can be used even on the battlefield in the future.
Therefore, even if he defeats one of the mid-level blood warriors, he may be defeated by another mid-level blood warrior of the opponent due to heavy physical exertion.
Now, with the addition of Gray, a mid-level blood warrior, his pressure has been reduced. Moreover, Gray's strength is even better than his. At the critical moment, he will definitely be able to give other families a big surprise.
As for why the Locke family didn't publicize the fact that Gray was already a mid-level blood warrior, they probably guessed what the other party was planning, but after weighing the pros and cons, they still felt that it would be more beneficial for them not to expose Gray's strength.
As the conversation continued, the atmosphere in the living room became extremely lively. Everyone was talking about the birthday party of the Marquis of Sidney and the past events between the Fergus family and the Harris family.
Of course, in this excitement, Gray and Sarah have to be excluded.
The two of them failed to join the conversation from beginning to end. It was not that they did not want to participate in the conversation, but that the three Viscount Harris spoke very skillfully. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they brought most of the topics to Gray. And Sarah is not involved in the atmosphere.
Feeling that she could not fit into the atmosphere, Sarah's face turned slightly pale. She was just a girl who was not yet 14 years old. She felt that she was being rejected and her mood couldn't help but become depressed.
"Are you showing off your power?"
After patting Sarah's hand and whispering a few interesting things in Sarah's ear, which made Sarah amused and relaxed her mood, Gray glanced at the three Baron Harriss and sneered in his heart.
In his previous life, he had heard about cold violence. The best way to express disgust towards a person was not to insult him in any way, but to ignore him and treat him as air. Obviously, what he was experiencing with Sarah now was That's it.
"Father, I heard that Viscount Bessemer is a woman, and the next generation heir of the family will also be a woman. Is it true?"
Gray's heart moved and he asked Viscount Fergus.
Since I can't participate in your topic, it's better for me to lead the topic. Although Gray was just an ordinary person in his previous life, he is an adult who has entered society after all. He still understands how to break the deadlock.
"Indeed, the Bessemer family is very peculiar. The outstanding children in each generation must be women, so the Bessemer family has a tradition of women being the heirs."
The three members of the Harris family intentionally distanced themselves from Gray and Sarah. How could Viscount Fergus not notice it? Although he did not express it on his face, he already had some dissatisfaction in his heart. When he heard Gray's inquiry, he immediately spoke.
"In your generation, the most outstanding woman in the Bessemer family is a girl named Qiaoli Bessemer. This person has become a mid-level blood warrior more than a year ago, and her talent is no worse than Morey Locke..."
