At dinner time, the Fergus family sat around the long dining table to dine.
The staple food is Okuyama steak. This is the most tender part cut from the back of Okuyama beef and grilled. The meat is extremely delicate. When you bite it, it is tender, juicy and has an excellent taste.
Oshan beef is one of the specialties of the Sidney family. It is produced in Oshan. Because of its excellent meat quality, it is often used to make steaks. It is very popular among nobles. It is not only sold to the Marquis of Sidney, but also to Other nearby marquis territories.
The Fergus family also buys it from time to time, but rarely can they buy such high-quality tenderloin beef. There is very little meat in the tenderloin part of a whole cow. Most of it has been digested internally by the Sidney family, and only a small part. The tenderloin oozes out.
After eating three large portions in a row, Gray touched his belly and ended the meal. As for Viscount Fergus and others, they had already finished their meal.
This kind of situation can be said to happen often in the Fergus family. Although Gray has a lot of fun and always asks everyone to wait for him to finish the meal, for the sake of his stomach, he can only be shameless.
Everyone did not disperse. After dinner, they would chat for a while. This has become a tradition of the Fergus family.
"Sir, are the other viscount families here?"
Mrs. Milan asked.
For the Fergus family, the greatest threat is naturally the other five viscount families.
Other families, the baron family directly entrusted by the Sidney family, are not a big threat, while the two earl families, the Ford family and the Smalley family, are not a direct threat. After all, there is no direct threat between the Fergus family and these two families. There is no conflict of interest.
"The Oliver family, the Richens family, the Shirley family, and the Bessemer family have all arrived. Only the Locke family has not arrived yet."
Viscount Fergus said.
After arriving just now, he left his residence and visited Sidney Castle. While visiting the nobles he was familiar with, he also inquired and collected intelligence.
"The Locke family hasn't arrived yet?"
Bernal frowned slightly.
This time, the Fergus family has him, the mid-level blood warrior, and Gray, the mid-level blood warrior who is stronger than him and has not yet been exposed. Together with Ellis, the lower-level blood warrior, their strength can be described as It is extremely powerful.
In his opinion, there are only two viscount families that can compete with the current Fergus family, and the other families are slightly inferior in overall strength.
Of these two viscount families, one is the Lichens family, the head of the six viscount families, and the other is the Locke family.
The Locke family has not yet arrived at Sidney Castle. In his opinion, it is very abnormal, as if they are deliberately delaying their arrival.
Gray couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The Locke family had to be on guard. After all, the Locke family already knew that he was a mid-level blood warrior. After thinking about it, he asked.
"Father, have the four viscount families ever fought against each other?"
"not yet."
Viscount Fergus shook his head.
"Only some baron families have fought against each other. The viscount family and the two earl families have not yet taken action."
He glanced at Gray, Bernal, and Ellis and continued.
"Although our main opponents this time are the Richens family and the Locke family, other viscount families must also be careful."
"Every young generation of the Viscount family has a mid-level blood warrior. It has happened before that one person defeated two people. Don't be careless."
Viscount Fergus said with a serious expression.
"yes."
Bernal and Ellis nodded solemnly.
"yes."
Gray also nodded solemnly.
As far as he knew, when fighting, under normal circumstances, only one-on-one was allowed.
Therefore, even if the Fergus family has two mid-level blood warriors, they can only send one person to challenge each time.
This gives some families with only one middle-level blood warrior an opportunity to take advantage of it, making it possible for one person to defeat two people in a row.
Of course, in fact, although the possibility of such a thing is possible, it is not high. Everyone is a mid-level blood warrior with equal strength. It is not possible to win easily.
Even if you can defeat your opponent, you will inevitably consume a lot of physical strength and blood power. Facing another person who is in a state of complete victory in physical strength and blood power, the possibility of victory is naturally very small.
But although it's not big, it's not nothing.
The current head of the Bessemer family, Isabel Bessemer, once accomplished the feat of defeating two opponents of the same level in a row, which shocked many people at the time.
And even now, Isabel Bessemer is still recognized as the strongest among the six viscounts. If it weren't for the two fierce-blooded warriors in the Lichens family, the Bessemer family would have fallen to the Bessemer family.
"Of course, before that, you should be most careful about the Oliver family."
Viscount Fergus continued.
"Father, do you think the Oliver family will be the first to challenge us?"
Bernal asked.
"Um."
Viscount Fergus nodded.
"I know Waters Oliver. He suffered a loss in the last territorial war and will definitely not give up. In addition, our Fergus family's apparent strength is only you, a mid-level blood warrior, who cannot attract them. If they have no scruples, they will definitely take the lead in challenging our Fergus family.”
Viscount Fergus introduced.
"The Oliver family has a total of two children. The eldest son, Kebbel Oliver, is already a middle-level blood warrior, and the second son, Boyle Oliver, is still a low-level blood warrior."
The Fergus family looked at Bernal and Ellis.
"For the sake of the future, I hope you two can survive this battle. It's best not to expose the strength of Gray's mid-level blood warrior."
"Yes, father."
Bernal and Ellis both answered in unison.
At this time, even Ellis, who didn't like Gray, had no intention of resisting.
He understands that Gray, the mid-level blood warrior, is currently the Fergus family's trump card, and it can only have the greatest effect if it is used at critical moments.
In the challenge, the more outstanding the Fergus family's performance is, the more valued they will be by the Sidney family, the more resources they will receive, and the more training resources they will receive.
He has no resistance at all to matters related to his own vital interests.
Viscount Fergus looked at Gray again.
"Gray, even if you have to take action, it is best not to use the strength of a mid-level blood warrior unless it is absolutely necessary."
"I see."
Gray nodded.
Things like trump cards naturally need to be hidden and unknown to others. If the other party knows, is wary, and makes some wrong targeted arrangements, not to mention that there will be no effect at all, but the effect will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
The study of the Marquis of Sidney covers an area of 300 square meters.
To the left of the entrance is a row of bookshelves filled with hardcover leather books.
There are books about blood magic, blood beasts, and disappearing empires. Different from the books placed in the library, every book here is of extremely high value. It is precisely because of its extremely high value that it is placed in the library. here.
Directly opposite the door is a huge rosewood desk, deep purple, noble and solemn, with a refreshing fragrance that keeps the brain alert at all times. Working in such an environment will undoubtedly greatly increase your efficiency.
Of course, the cost is also extremely expensive. On the market, the exchange ratio between the price of rosewood and gold coins is 1:1. That is to say, the same weight of rosewood requires the same weight of gold coins to buy, and it is generally cheaper. The market will be sold out as soon as it appears.
The cost of such a huge desk would never be less than three thousand gold coins, which shows how wealthy the Sidney family was.
On the right side, there is a golden pear wood round table and five golden pear wood armchairs. Although the cost is slightly lower than that of rosewood, it is definitely worth a lot of money. A conservative estimate is that such a large round table and five wooden chairs cost one thousand. Gold coins are indispensable.
At this time, two people were sitting on the two adjacent golden pear wood armchairs.
One of them is an elegant middle-aged man with blond hair and a handsome face. However, some inconspicuous parts of his face have some traces of time. It is obvious that he is not young anymore. He is the Marquis of Sidney. In a few days it will be his 50th birthday party.
The other person is a young man with blond hair, handsome in appearance, but with some fortitude, wearing a sky blue dress. It is Saroyan, the eldest son of the Marquis, whom Gray and the others met this afternoon.
"Except for the Locke family, other families above the viscount level have arrived. What do you think of their reception these days?"
Marquis Hidri said with a faint smile.
"They haven't made a move yet, so we can't see much for the time being, but judging from their momentum, I feel that the two Earl family children should be in the middle, and among the Viscount family, the Richens family should be the strongest, and the Bei family should be the strongest. The Semai family comes second.”
Saroyan thought for a moment and said.
"However, judging from the information we have received, the two descendants of the Locke family are already mid-level blood warriors. If the Locke family arrives, there should be a possibility of competing with the Lichens family."
Regarding Saroyan's judgment, Marquis Sidney was noncommittal and continued to ask.
"So what do you think of the Fergus family?"
Saroyan frowned slightly, thinking about his father's intentions, and after a moment, he spoke.
"Although he gave birth to an illegitimate child with outstanding talent, he is still too young after all. He is now just a low-level blood warrior."
"As for the eldest son, Bernal, I have seen him. He is not very talented. At present, there should be no possibility of competing with the three families of Lichens, Locke and Bessemer."
"Then which family among the six viscount families do you think can win this war of counts?"
Marquis Sidney still did not express his position and continued to ask.
"I think it should be the Richens family!"
Saroyan spoke.
After saying this, he suddenly noticed that his father, the Marquis of Sidney, was looking at him, and he couldn't help but frown and ask.
"Father, was my judgment wrong?"
"No, judging from the current situation, your judgment is not wrong."
Marquis Sidney shook his head.
"However, as the future successor of the Marquis, I would like to warn you not to make your judgment easily. Nothing is absolute until the last moment."
Fortunately, I wrote it down
