Chapter 9: Discovery
The main building of the Fergus family castle is a spire building made of white stone, and some low-rise houses have been built around it, and there are many places such as gardens, training grounds, horse farms, etc., and the outermost layer is a towering wall and a spire watchtower that allows people to walk on it.
In addition to being used as kitchens, some of the low-rise houses were used as servants' quarters, while others were used as warehouses for miscellaneous items.
On the south side of the castle is a house with miscellaneous items, which are rarely used by the servants of the castle, because they are piled up with seldom usable debris.
Next to the house, there is a vacant land of about 100 square meters, and there are stone slabs on top of the clearing, but because few people visit, they are rarely cared for, and from the cracks in the stones, you can see clusters of weeds from time to time.
This is the remote place Gray has found to be used for cultivation.
Coming here and making sure that there was no one else around, Gray began to cultivate.
Prostrate.
Pounce.
Biting.
Look up to the sky.
Cultivating the blood posture that evolved from the wind wolf, he was like incarnating a real wind wolf, waiting for the prey, pounced on the prey, biting the prey, and roaring in the sky.
There was a slight numbness in his body, which was the wind wolf blood implanted in his body under the stimulation of the blood method "Wind Wolf", which began to become active, gradually strengthening his body.
Bloodline implantation is the only way that the humans of this world have researched to fight against blood beasts in the process of fighting against blood beasts for a long time.
With it, the blood method became otherworldly, unlike the Xingyi Fist in the previous life, which only had to have its form, but truly possessed the essence of the gods.
Compared to blood beasts, human beings are thin and weak, and even adults with weapons can compete with ordinary beasts at most, but not with blood beasts, so they will come up with a way to implant the blood of blood beasts.
The human beings who have been implanted with the bloodline of the blood beast, although there is a huge difference between them and the blood beast in terms of body, but in essence, they are not much different from the blood beast, but they should still be in the juvenile stage, and their strength is far from the level of an adult blood beast.
In fact, when a person has cultivated a certain blood method to the extreme, he usually doesn't see anything, but once he fights fiercely, he will show some characteristics of the corresponding blood beast.
For example, the "Wind Wolf" that Gray is cultivating now, if he cultivates to the limit, and his strength reaches the level of a fierce blood warrior comparable to that of an adult wind wolf, when he fights fiercely, he will grow wolf claws and canine teeth.
"Drink ......"
An hour later, with a low roar, Gray, who had maintained a "pounce" posture for ten minutes, stopped practicing.
He was sweating profusely, his chest was panting violently like a windmill, and there was a feeling of soreness in the muscles of his body, but also a sense of fullness from strength.
Although he has not yet become a low-ranking blood warrior, he is now only 16 years old, and in terms of strength and physical strength, he is no longer weaker than a sturdy adult.
After a moment, his breathing became steady, and he wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, and Gray walked in the direction of the castle baths.
In a house stacked with miscellaneous items near the open space where Gray was cultivating, Ellis, who was standing beside a manservant, quietly looked at Gray in the distance.
"Young Master Ellis, why did Young Master Gray stop when he didn't finish his cultivation for the second time?"
The freckled valet beside him hesitated slightly, and spoke in confusion.
The cultivation of the blood method by the people of the Viscount Fergus family will not make the servants retreat, because the real essence of the blood method is the implantation of the blood beast bloodline, and this cannot be learned secretly.
Because in addition to the need for the precious blood essence, you also need a matching drug formula, if there is no matching drug formula, even if you have the blood essence, it can be used as a great tonic at most, and it cannot be implanted with the blood beast bloodline.
Watching Ellis and the others cultivate often, he knew that the physical strength of the following blood warriors was enough to cultivate the blood method at least twice in a row, but just now, he clearly saw that Gray's second cultivation was only halfway through cultivation and stopped.
"I can't say for sure yet, but it's very likely that this guy has a physical problem because of the injury he had last time."
An inexplicable look flashed in Ellis's eyes.
"Something is wrong with your body? How...... Yes? ”
The freckled manservant exclaimed, his face full of shock.
If there was really a problem with Young Master Gray's cultivation, it would be a really big deal.
The Viscount's emphasis on Young Master Gray, they can naturally see it, and even faintly feel that the Viscount attaches more importance to Young Master Gray than to Young Master Ellis.
However, Young Master Gray's talent is indeed remarkable, and in just one year, he has already cultivated to the next level of blood warrior, and as far as he knows, it took Young Master Ellis two and a half years.
If this young master Gray, who had high hopes for the Viscount, really had a problem with his body, I am afraid that there would be a major earthquake in the entire castle.
"Master Ellis, could this be mistaken?"
The freckled valet still had shock on his face.
"If you're mistaken, you'll find out if you test it."
The look in Ellis's eyes turned cold.
"Young Master Ellis wants to fight Young Master Gray?"
The freckled manservant's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of Ellis's plan, to determine a person's strength, the best way is naturally to fight him.
"But if there is really something wrong with Young Master Gray's body, I'm afraid he won't agree."
He quickly frowned slightly, considering the feasibility of the battle.
"Then find an opportunity he can't refuse."
The corners of Ellis's mouth showed a hint of coldness.
"When my father comes back, I will ask him for advice, and as long as he allows it, he can't refuse if he wants to, and this is just enough to let him know that there is something wrong with his health."
Leaving the open space where he usually cultivated, passing through a miscellaneous house with windows, and letting his back face face with his back facing this miscellaneous house, there was already a trace of gloom on his face.
"Trouble, it seems that it has aroused suspicion!"
When he turned around and left the clearing, he found a vague figure next to the window of the miscellaneous object, obviously, he did not go to the cultivation ground to cultivate, but instead found a remote place to cultivate alone, which had aroused the suspicion of others.
Although I don't know who the person in the clutter is, there is no doubt that this person will definitely not be a "friend".
In the entire castle, except for his half-sister Sarah, the others, only Barbara, the personal maid, can be regarded as his "ally".
In this world, in a certain nature, the personal maid is equal to personal belongings, and the master is both prosperous and lossy, and has the right and obligation to take care of any aspect of the master, and many personal maids are the "enlightenment" of the children of the nobility.
Obviously, the person who was by the window of the miscellaneous house just now was not either of the two, because if it were these two people, they would never say hello when he left.
"Sure enough, it still attracted it."
Although he knew that it would definitely arouse suspicion and snooping, Gray still did not expect that it would come so quickly.
With his current cultivation speed, just concealing it for a month is enough to restore the strength of the lower blood warrior and completely eliminate the hidden danger of strength exposure, but unfortunately now it seems that concealing it for a month is completely impossible.
Although he also thought about not cultivating the blood method within this month, after all, his current physical condition is relatively special, even if he does not practice the blood method, his physical fitness will improve rapidly, but it will be slower than when he cultivated the blood method.
However, after careful consideration, he dismissed this approach.
Doing so will only make people more suspicious, and at the same time cause dissatisfaction with the "umbrella" of Viscount Fergus.
Dissatisfaction is secondary, I am afraid that in order to urge him, Viscount Fergus is ready to personally supervise his cultivation, which will backfire and expose his current situation faster.
"The only thing that is fortunate is that Viscount Fergus has gone to exterminate the roaming thieves in the territory, and the Viscountess has no right to drive me out of the castle."
Kicking out a child who had been brought into the castle by Viscount Fergus, the Viscountess obviously did not have such power, and if she had, Gray would have been kicked out long ago.
Even if Gray has revealed that he has a physical problem, he will definitely wait until the Viscount returns to make a final decision.
"But even so, the remaining time is definitely less than a month, and it is unknown how long it will take Viscount Fergus to clear out the wandering thieves, but it should not take as long as a month."
"No, maybe it won't take a month."
Suddenly, Gray's eyes lit up, and he thought of something else.
As a powerful creature whose adult strength can reach that of a fierce blood warrior, the blood of the blood beast is obviously rich in extremely rich nutrients, and the previous cup of blood beast blood has greatly improved his physical fitness, which is the best proof.
If nothing else, the next time he takes it, his physical fitness should also be greatly improved, saving him half a month's time.
At this time, half a month has passed since he last took it, and at most half a month is left, and he will be able to receive the next month's share.
"Half a month's rapid increase in strength, plus the half month saved by the blood wolf's blood, half a month should be enough to raise my strength to the next blood warrior."
"Half a month? I don't know if it's too late, can I reach it before Viscount Fergus returns? ”
Gray had worry in his eyes.
"Now we can only take one step at a time, and even if my physical condition is exposed, I will not necessarily be kicked out of the castle."
During this time, he could clearly feel that Viscount Fergus valued this physical talent, so even if the physical condition was exposed, as long as it was not completely incurable, there was a possibility that he would not be kicked out of the castle.
Gray thought as he walked towards the main building of the castle, and before he knew it, he was about to enter the top three floors of the castle, and he could already see servants coming in and out.
He forcibly restrained the worry on his face, his face turned calm again, and he walked into the three-story building of the castle and walked towards the bathroom, at this time, the servants would usually prepare bath water for Gray and the others who had finished cultivating.
