By the time the two arrived at the restaurant, the others, including Viscount Fergus, had already arrived.

Seeing Gray and Caroline walking together, several people had different expressions in their eyes.

Viscount Fergus was relieved that Gray was able to get along with the rest of the family, and that the family was able to accept Gray, which was what he wanted to see.

Although he had rarely asked about the Gray brothers and sisters in the previous 16 years, he had to admit that during the more than two months that the Gray brothers and sisters came to the castle, perhaps out of compensation, he did give the Gray brothers and sisters a lot of love.

Of course, it's all based on Gray's talent as a blood warrior.

Sarah looked puzzled, she hadn't heard from her brother Gray about when her relationship with Caroline's sister had improved.

Viscountess Milan and Gray's eldest brother Bernal were first surprised, and then with a faint smile, as if they were like Viscount Fergus, they were also very pleased to see this scene, and they didn't know what they thought in their hearts.

Gray's second brother Ellis had a cold gaze, but because of Viscount Fergus's presence, he only asked in a slightly questioning tone.

"Why did you come here?"

"We were all reading in the library, so we came together."

Caroline explained casually.

She didn't deliberately say that her relationship with Gray was estranged or cordial, and this is where she stands in the family now.

"You've been in the library this morning?"

Viscount Fergus showed great interest in Gray's heading to the library, and asked Gray.

"Yes, father."

Gray explained.

"I felt that I didn't know much about blood beasts and blood methods, so I went to the library and found some related books to read."

"Reading is a good habit to increase knowledge and insight."

Viscount Fergus nodded in satisfaction.

"When you have time, you can go and see more, knowledge and insight are indispensable for nobles."

"I will."

Gray agreed.

Even if Viscount Fergus didn't say it, he would do it, coming from the world of the information explosion in his previous life, he naturally understood the importance of knowledge.

Hearing Viscount Fergus's words, Bernal, who was sitting opposite Gray, couldn't help but have a trace of gloom in his eyes.

From the conversation between Viscount Fergus and Gray, he could feel that Viscount Fergus cared about Gray, and this kind of care was more than treating him.

And the word "noble" at the end can be said to have touched his nerves greatly.

In the Purple Moon Kingdom and even the Flame Kingdom, the Crimson Kingdom, and the Gem Kingdom, the title of nobility is not something that can be called casually, even if the father is a nobleman, the children cannot be called nobles, unless they are granted or inherit the title of nobility.

Although Viscount Fergus was just an unintentional sentence, it revealed the kind of image that let Gray inherit the title, which couldn't help but make him feel a deep crisis.

Among the nobility, titles are generally inherited by the eldest son born to his wife, and illegitimate children have no right of inheritance, but there are exceptions.

If a nobleman applies to the kingdom and can be recognized by the kingdom, even if he is an illegitimate child, he can inherit the title, such a thing has happened several times in the history of the Purple Moon Kingdom, which can't help but make him vigilant.

Like him, her face became slightly gloomy and Viscountess Milan, who obviously thought of this layer as well, and her whole face was not good, and she almost couldn't maintain her usual elegance.

Lunch ended in a slightly dreary atmosphere, and as Gray put down his knife and silver fork at the end of his meal, Viscount Fergus coughed lightly.

"There is a group of thieves roaming around the southwestern border of the territory, and I will leave the castle tomorrow to exterminate them."

"Master, is the situation serious?"

Hearing this, Viscountess Milan frowned deeply, and the faces of the others couldn't help but show worry, even Gray at this time.

He is now relying on the Fergus family for food, and if the interests of the Fergus family are lost, he will also be affected.

Most of the expenses of the nobility came from the taxes of the territory, and for the nobles, the territory was the foundation of everything.

If the thieves' destruction is too severe, the loss of the territory is too great, and the tax revenue is reduced, his current luxury life will inevitably be seriously reduced.

Although he had not been in this world for a long time, he had already become obsessed with the luxury of living in a huge castle and being served by dozens of people.

Moreover, the benefits of blood wolf blood once a month are obvious, just one cup has increased his strength a lot, and the value of this kind of thing is obviously very expensive, it needs to spend a lot of money to buy, if the territory is seriously damaged, this supply will probably be interrupted.

"According to the information obtained, the strength of this group of thieves is not strong, but there is no fixed gathering place and they are often moved."

Viscount Fergus waved his hand.

"It's fine."

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is rare for a strong blood warrior to appear among the wandering thieves, and a strong blood warrior can usually easily find a good job, it is not absolute.

In the kingdom, there will occasionally be some powerful blood warriors who are wanted by the kingdom because of their mistakes to join the bandit group, and some nobles will also cultivate some robbers to achieve the purpose of quickly accumulating wealth and fighting rival families.

"So don't worry, it's not too serious."

Viscount Fergus concluded.

"Father, can you take me?"

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Bernal's eyes moved and he spoke.

Viscount Fergus glanced at Bernal unexpectedly, with relief in his eyes, obviously satisfied with Bernal's behavior, but after a little consideration, he shook his head and said.

"This time should take a long time, and there is not much experience value, next time, if there is a suitable opportunity, I will bring you, I look forward to the opportunity for our father and son to go to the battlefield together."

"Yes, father."

Bernal had a slight regret on his face, but he was quite happy in his heart, and everyone could see that his performance just now had made him a lot of points in the heart of Viscount Fergus.

On the morning of the second day, under the farewell of Gray and the others, Viscount Fergus, dressed in a golden battle uniform, full of blonde hair, and with a faint majestic aura on his body, rode a blood-colored war horse, and led more than 300 warriors on war horses and armor to leave the castle.

Behind him, a little behind him, there were two middle-aged men.

One of them, middle-aged, wearing a brown battle uniform, with a burly body and a square face, with an obvious evil aura on his face, was Baron Gardner Kipling, who was divided by the Fergus family ten years ago, and had the strength of a high-ranking blood warrior.

Another middle-aged, dressed in a beige battle suit, is of medium height, has a wisp of beard on his chin, and has a slightly rigid face.

He comes from the Baron family Ricardo family, which was divided by the Fergus family 50 years ago, and is the baron Gerbert Ricardo of the Ricardo family, and he also has the strength of a high-ranking blood warrior.

Behind the two of them, there were seven men all dressed in black uniforms, all of whom were lords.

Two barons, seven lords, plus Lord Lind, who was in charge of the castle and stayed behind in the castle. Niathan, this is all the nobles in the Fergus family's domain.

Generally speaking, a viscount can be divided into three barons and ten lords, an earl can be divided into three viscounts, ten barons, and then upwards, marquises, dukes, and so on.

Because this group of thieves was wandering around and needed to be searched by several routes, Viscount Fergus recruited all the nobles and warriors in his domain.

"The nobility of this world, with so much power, can not only divide the lower-level nobles, but also openly own the army."

Looking at Viscount Fergus and his party riding away on a war horse, Gray was thrilled, and he couldn't help but have a trace of desire to become a nobleman in his heart.

The nobility of this world, in his opinion, is simply the emperor of the earth.

Not only does it have the autonomy of the territory, the right to divide and remove the nobles and officials of the territory, but it can also openly recruit and train the army, and there is not even a limit to the number.

Of course, considering the ability of the territory to support, the army that each nobleman can afford must be limited, and even then, it is already extremely impressive.

In fact, not only Gray, seeing such a scene, even Bernal and Ellis couldn't help but have their eyes blazing, and this feeling of commanding a cavalry of more than 300 people obviously made the two yearn for it.

It wasn't until the party had disappeared from view that the people in the castle returned to the castle.

Gray traveled to the lesser-visited places in the castle he had found before, ready to start today's cultivation.

Although the progress of his cultivation was gratifying, and he should be able to become a low-level blood warrior again in a month at most, he still hoped that this time would be faster, so he never slackened his daily cultivation.

Shortly after he left, Ellis looked at the valet who was following him with a slightly gloomy face.

"Do you know where that guy is cultivating now?"

The manservant who followed him was a man in his twenties, with a little freckles on his face and shrewdness in his eyes.

"I've asked, near the remote house south of the castle."

"Hmph, lead the way, I want to see what he's up to."

Ellis snorted coldly, followed the manservant, and walked towards the remote house where Gray usually cultivated.

Gray didn't go to the cultivation ground, but found a place to practice secretly, which finally caught his attention.
