"Can you detect my gaze?! Is this person stronger than... Viscount Fergus?"
Gray was secretly shocked.
In a book in the family library, it is recorded that the powerful Blood Warrior can detect the gaze.
For this reason, he once tried it on Viscount Fergus, secretly watching Viscount Fergus from behind, but found that Viscount Fergus did not respond to this kind of sight.
I don't know if Viscount Fergus has become accustomed to his sight, but he is not a powerful blood warrior.
But now, this person is aware of his sight, which means that this person's strength may have surpassed Viscount Fergus.
Having the nerve to smile apologetically, Gray quickly looked away.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
The man's behavior was noticed by Pearly, who turned her head and asked in confusion.
"Nothing, who is that boy?"
Pearly followed the man's gaze and saw that it was Gray. Although she was confused as to why the teacher noticed Gray, she still said.
"That's Gray Fergus of the Viscount Fergus family."
"Gray Fergus? Oh, that's the middle-level Blood Warrior genius who is less than seventeen years old?"
The man's words were plain. Although he said "genius", he did not regard Gray as a genius at all.
"Yes, that's him. The teacher has also heard of him?"
Pearly was obviously used to this kind of attitude from men.
"It's being spread all over the castle. It's hard not to hear about it."
The man said calmly.
…
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Gray immersed himself in eating the delicacies of the castle. After a while, he raised his head, glanced at the man and quickly moved away. Seeing that the man was no longer paying attention to his side, Gray finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the other party has no intention of arguing with him, and at the same time, he can't help but be secretly curious about who this person is.
"Being alone, you shouldn't be a noble..."
"If the Marquis' daughter is treated with respect, then the other party's status must be very high..."
"He has a high status, and he came to this banquet hall alone. Could this person be...?"
Soon, a person with a very suitable identity appeared in his mind, that is, the very mysterious alchemy master that Viscount Fergus had never seen before.
If it was really the other party, then everything would make sense. With the dignity of an alchemy master, it would be natural for him to be treated with respect by the Marquis woman.
"Everyone!"
Just when Gray was secretly guessing whether the other party was the mysterious alchemy master, an elegant male voice sounded.
Gray looked up and saw the Marquis of Sidney, Marquise Jotina, the Marquis' eldest son Saroyan, and the Marquis's second son Manel all coming to the table just now. At this time, the table had become the focus of everyone's attention.
"Let me introduce to you, this one is Master Dulu!"
"Master Dulu is the alchemy master worshiped by the Sidney family, and he is also the teacher of my little girl. Let us pay a toast to Master Dulu!"
Having said this, the Marquis of Sidney raised the crystal glass containing red wine in his hand.
After hearing the introduction, all the noble families looked at the Master Duru with eager eyes. When they saw Marquis Sidney raising his wine glass, they immediately stood up and raised their wine glasses.
Master of alchemy, this is the master of alchemy. If you can please him, wouldn't it be easy to get the magic potion
Following Viscount Fergus, Gray also stood up holding a cup, but his cup was filled with juice.
In this world, drinking is not allowed before the age of eighteen, that is, before the coming-of-age ceremony.
Facing the grand introduction by the Marquis of Sidney and the enthusiastic eyes in the banquet hall, the man known as Master Duru stood up with a calm face.
Ding!
He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the Marquis of Sidney, took a sip of wine and immediately sat down again.
Cold, extremely cold.
The Marquis of Sidney didn't pay attention to the other party's perfunctory attitude, and he was obviously used to it.
He raised his glass and smiled at everyone, drank the red wine in one gulp, and then took everyone in the Sidney family to sit at this dining table.
"He is indeed a master of alchemy!"
Gray's face showed a look of ascertainment, and he couldn't help but look at the man again, with deep amazement in his eyes.
As expected, he is worthy of being a master, he has character, and even the Marquis's reputation is not much to sell.
The most important thing is that the Marquis didn't take it seriously. From this point of view, it is not difficult to see how important the status of Master Dulu is in the Marquis' heart.
If the Marquis looked at Gray with some special eyes, then he valued Master Duru extremely highly.
However, given the identity of the other party, he is indeed worthy of this attention.
A master alchemist who can refine magic medicine is extremely rare even if he searches throughout the Ziyue Kingdom.
The magic potion refined from their hands is a means of saving lives at critical moments. Sometimes, an extra bottle of magic potion is equal to an extra life.
With such means, it is inevitable to be able to eat freely anywhere. No noble will think that he has too many means to save his life.
Even if you can't stay in the Marquis of Sidney, you can definitely enjoy the VIP treatment in another territory.
Moreover, the magic potion they refined was not only a means of preserving life. The means of preserving life was just one of the many abilities of the potion.
Beyond that, there are so many abilities.
Such as rapidly improving strength, such as delaying aging, such as greatly improving strength in a short period of time...
While Gray was thinking for a while, many nobles had already walked to the dining table where Marquis Sidney and the others were sitting, and greeted Master Duru, but all they received were cold responses.
Even the Marquis of Sidney doesn't give much face, so how can he possibly give face to some minor nobles
The Fergus family.
"This Master Duru's character is really... special."
After watching for a while, Bernal considered it and said.
Originally, he wanted to say that the other party's personality was "weird", but considering the other party's status that even the Marquis of Sidney treated him politely, he had to replace the word "weird" with "special".
"It's really 'special'."
Gray could naturally hear the hidden words in his words and couldn't help but smile.
This Master Dulu is very similar to the geeky scholar in his previous life who devoted himself to research.
It’s not that I don’t understand the ways of the world, it’s just that I have disdain for them.
They don't bother to interact with ordinary people, don't bother to remember ordinary people's names, don't bother to respond to ordinary people... As for offending ordinary people because of this, they don't care.
To a certain extent, such people are arrogant, but they do have this kind of capital.
To put it bluntly, if any noble conflicts with Master Dulu in this banquet hall, it is likely that the noble will be kicked out, not Master Dulu.
These nobles obviously knew that this would be the result, so even in the face of Master Dulu's cold response, they still had to smile.
"Master, should we...?"
Seeing that other families were defeated, Mrs. Milan looked at Viscount Fergus with a little hesitation.
Viscount Fergus frowned and shook his head after a moment.
"Master Dulu doesn't seem to like being disturbed, so let's forget it!"
The banquet started at noon and lasted until the afternoon. From then on, the birthday banquet of Marquis Sidney was completely over.
