Chapter 15: The Viscount's Return

Three days later, a cavalry contingent of more than 300 men marched towards Viscount Fergus's castle, which was built on three steep hills.

The first person was a middle-aged man with blonde hair, riding a tall blood-colored war horse and wearing a golden battle suit smelted with precious magical metal, which glittered in the sun.

A little behind him were a burly man in a brown suit and a bearded man in a beige suit.

Behind the two were seven men in black uniforms.

This is the Viscount Fergus and his party who went to exterminate the wandering thieves.

The gates of Viscount Fergus's castle were already open, and at the gates stood Gray, Sarah, Lady Milan, Bernal, Ellis, Caroline, and Lord Linde, the three butlers and two chief maids of the castle, and many servants.

They've been waiting here for almost an hour.

Yesterday, Viscount Fergus had already let people inform him that they knew that Viscount Fergus and his party would be returning today, so they waited at the gate of the castle early.

"Phew—"

Riding to the castle on a scarlet horse, Viscount Fergus turned over and jumped off the scarlet horse and threw the reins to a servant next to him.

"Master, you're back!"

Madame Milan spoke.

"Father, welcome back!"

This is Gray and the others speaking.

"Lord Viscount, you're back!"

These were the voices of three butlers and two chief maids, and numerous servants.

"Well, I'm back!"

Viscount Fergus had blonde hair and a heroic face, but there was a slight evil in his eyes, but he quickly relented.

After more than half a month of chasing and killing wandering thieves, he obviously accumulated a lot of evil energy.

"Phew, hoo, hoo......"

At this moment, the nine men who followed Viscount Fergus, that is, the two barons and the seven lords, had also arrived on horseback and jumped off their horses.

"Sir, a welcome feast has been prepared in the castle."

As the hostess, Mrs. Milan was dressed in a purple pleated dress, with a noble lady's temperament, and spoke.

"Okay."

Viscount Fergus nodded, and immediately walked towards the banquet hall with the two barons, the seven lords, and the Lady of Milan and Gray.

As for the other soldiers, there was also a banquet in another part of the castle, and naturally there would be servants to guide them to the place where the horses were placed.

The huge and spacious banquet hall has three lotus-shaped crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling, which are not lit because it is daylight.

It is surrounded by brown and yellow wooden walls, with framed paintings at intervals, and some wooden sculptures glued to the walls, which elegantly support the environment.

In the center of the ballroom, there are three long tables painted in light brown, one of which is horizontally and the other two are vertical.

In fact, there should have been a lot of round tables around, but they have been withdrawn because the number of people attending the banquet was not too large.

At this time, on the three long tables, there were already wines, melons and fruits.

Viscount Fergus, Lady Milan, and Gray sat at the long horizontal table, with Viscount Fergus in the center, Lady Milan, Caroline, and Sarah on his left, and Bernal, Ellis, and Gray on his right.

The two barons, and the eight lords, including Linde, were each given one baron at the head, followed by four lords.

The servants served dishes such as the chef's secret ham, grilled fish sprinkled with black pepper, beef stewed in a rich broth, and steamed and shelled red shrimp......

In the banquet hall, the atmosphere was so warm that even Gray drank some red wine.

On such occasions, Bernal, as the eldest son, can be said to be at home, toasting the two barons and the eight lords from time to time.

"Uncle Gerbert, tell us about the thieves."

The man he called Uncle Gardner was Baron Kipling, a burly middle-aged man.

After drinking and being affectionately called uncle by Bernal, he immediately opened up the conversation.

"The thieves were really cunning this time, and immediately after the robbery, they moved immediately, and they were extremely sophisticated in their way of concealing their tracks, and they also left many false traces to mislead us, and we followed them for five days in a row, but we did not find any trace of them."

"Sophisticated? Could it be that there are veterans of the battlefield in this group of thieves? ”

Bernal wondered.

"It is true that there are veterans who have been on the battlefield, and there are quite a few of them."

Baron Ricardo, with a slight beard on his chin, answered.

"Especially the leader of this group of thieves, who is actually the wanted criminal Marcellus."

"Marcellus, is that him?!"

Everyone was surprised, even Gray, because he had read the wanted notice for this man.

Three months ago, the original owner of the body had just arrived at the Fergus family, and this wanted warrant had just arrived at the Fergus family, so in a sense, he had read the wanted warrant for this person.

According to the wanted notice, this person has been on the battlefield between the Kingdom and the Flame Kingdom, and the military exploits he has accumulated are enough to divide the lord.

Later, for unknown reasons, he assassinated the baron he was loyal to, disappeared without a trace, and turned out to have joined the thieves, and also appeared in the Viscount of Fergus.

"According to the wanted warrant, this person has the strength of a high-ranking blood warrior, is it true?"

Bernal asked.

"The strength is real."

Baron Kipling nodded.

"In order to find this group of thieves, Lord Emerson, me, and Gardner's soldiers searched in three ways, and Gardner and I have encountered this person, but after fighting, they all let the other party escape, and the strength of the other party is indeed a high-ranking blood warrior."

"Could it be that my father killed him later?"

Bernal looked at Viscount Fergus.

"This man and this group of thieves were already preparing to escape from the territory after encountering several sieges, but I intercepted them in the Fallen Leaf Hill and killed them."

Viscount Fergus nodded.

……

The feast lasted until the afternoon, when the drunken barons and the other lords were housed in the castle rooms until the next day.

As the nobles of Viscount Fergus, they all have their own territories, and they usually stay in their respective territories, and when Viscount Fergus calls, they will bring their own trained cavalry to respond to Viscount Fergus's call.

Because he didn't drink much red wine, Gray came to his senses early the next day, and went to the remote house south of the castle as usual, preparing to practice in the open space near the house.

Although the strength has been restored to the lower blood warrior, even if he goes to the cultivation ground to cultivate, there will be no problem, but Gray is used to cultivating in this place, and this place is indeed quiet and not disturbed by people, so he still cultivates in this place.

"Drink—"

He let out a low roar and began the cultivation of the blood method "Wind Wolf".

When his strength reached the lower level of the blood warrior, he unconsciously carried a sharp aura on his body, as if he had incarnated into a real wind wolf, and his whole person was completely devoted to cultivation.

Again.

Two times.

It wasn't until the first movement of the third pass, after almost six minutes, that he gasped and stopped cultivating.

Dripping sweat appeared on his forehead, wetting his black hair, and although the 16-year-old looked a little thin, in fact, under his thin body, he had strong muscles that rivaled or even surpassed those of previous boxing champions.

"Young Master, wipe your face!"

Seeing that he had finished his cultivation, the maid Barbara stepped forward at the right time and handed him a towel that had been soaked with water.

Gray reached out and took it, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and the towel stained with cold water brought a comfortable coolness to his body that had just finished cultivating.

Because his strength has been restored, there is no need to hide it anymore, Gray simply brought the maid Barbara over, but when he cultivated, he would still let the other party avoid it.

After coming to this world for more than a month, he has already liked this kind of maid service life, especially this maid is extremely beautiful, tall, fair-skinned, and beautiful, just looking at it has a pleasing feeling.

"Although the cultivation progress is much slower than before becoming a low-level blood warrior, it is still extremely fast."

"It seems that this physical transformation of mine is not over yet, that is to say, the transformation of the body is not because the blood power of the original owner of the body has not disappeared."

Handing the towel back to Barbara, Gray looked thoughtful.

Today is the fourth day that he has become a lower blood warrior, and after a few days of cultivation, he can still feel the rapid improvement in strength, obviously, the transformation of his body is not because the power of the original blood of the body has not disappeared.

As for the cultivation speed, it is much slower than before becoming a low-level blood warrior, which is considered a normal phenomenon.

The cultivation of blood warriors, the later they go, the slower the progress, especially to the point where Viscount Fergus is, if there is no corresponding blood beast blood and medicine to assist, if you want to progress, I am afraid it will take years as a unit.

In fact, not only the cultivation of blood warriors, but also other training classes?

For example, in the 100-meter race in the previous life, when you first started training, the progress must be the fastest, and in the back, especially after entering the ten-second mark, even if it is a 0.01 progress, it will take an unknown amount of time.

Therefore, it is normal for the cultivation speed to be slower than before, and the transformation of the body should still be in progress, and the most powerful proof is that his current appetite has not decreased.

"Let's go back!"

With Barbara, Gray returns to the main castle building.

After taking a shower in the shower room and changing into clean clothes, Gray prepared to head to the library.

At that moment, a man dressed in a black and white valet costume saluted him and spoke.

"Master Gray, Lord Viscount asked you to go to the Purple Jade Hall!"
