Chapter 16: The Copperback Drakemon
Ziyu Hall, a small hall with an area of about 100 square meters, is generally used as a gathering place for members of the family.
In the hall, opposite the doorway, there is a purple stone fireplace, because the temperature is not too cold now, so there is no firewood burning in the fireplace.
In the room, the walls and floor are also paved with purple stone, and many exquisite patterns are also carved, which is why this room is called the Purple Jade Hall.
Opposite the Ziyu Hall, there is also a Jinbi Hall, which is much more spacious than the Ziyu Hall, which is the hall that Viscount Fergus usually uses to receive visitors.
In the center of the purple jade hall, there is a long purple wood ring table, around the long table, there are several chairs with armrests, at this time, most of these chairs are already seated.
Viscount Fergus, Bernal, Ellis, Caroline, and Sarah.
"Father."
Gray walked over and addressed Viscount Fergus, who was dressed in brown lounge clothes, with a slightly stiff salutation.
He was quite resistant to calling a stranger his father, but he had to bow his head under the roof unless he wanted to break away from the Fergus family, which he obviously couldn't do now.
"Well, here, sit down!"
Viscount Fergus nodded, motioning for Gray to find a chair and sit down.
Gray looked at the empty chair, and when he saw a girl with long black hair and blue eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with a happy look that it was the body's half-sister Sarah.
Apparently she wasn't used to the atmosphere, so when she saw Gray arrive, it was as if she had seen the backbone.
Gray walked over, touched her head, motioned for her not to be nervous, and sat down next to her.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Viscount Fergus glanced around everyone's faces and spoke.
"I just came back yesterday, and I didn't have time to ask about your cultivation, Bernal, your cultivation hasn't fallen behind during this time, right?"
In this sentence, you are referring to the Gray people except Sarah, Sarah's age is still a few months away from 14 years old, and the best age suitable for cultivating blood methods is 15 years old, so she has not yet implanted the bloodline cultivation blood method.
"Father, during the time you left, we didn't relax, and our daily cultivation was completed on time."
Bernal replied.
"That's good."
Viscount Fergus nodded, paused slightly, and looked at Ellis and asked.
"Has there been any progress in that cultivation? Ellis, the third blood method cultivation, the first cultivation posture, can you hold on for a few minutes? ”
In this world, the units used for timekeeping are still minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years, and the length is slightly different from Gray's previous life, but not much.
"Three minutes."
Ellis shrank his head and said in a low voice.
"It's time to do a little harder."
Viscount Fergus frowned slightly, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and his voice was slightly dissatisfied.
Ellis became a blood warrior in January this year, and it has been almost half a year now, and his progress is only the third blood method cultivation, and the first posture can only last for three minutes, which makes him very disappointed in his heart.
Then he looked back at Bernal and asked.
"What about you, Bernal?"
"I've been able to complete the first posture of the fourth Blood Law cultivation."
Bernal replied respectfully.
The cultivation of the blood method, if you can cultivate twice in a row, the strength is almost a lower-level blood warrior, if you can cultivate three times in a row, you are almost a middle-level blood warrior, and then up, the number of times that the upper-level blood warrior and the fierce blood warrior can complete in a row will increase in turn.
This is the experience that people in this continent have summed up in their cultivation to judge their current cultivation progress, of course, different people have different blood methods, which are different from this standard, but most people and most of the blood methods are like this.
"Not bad."
Viscount Fergus nodded, Bernal is in his early 22s this year, and this cultivation progress is similar to when he was young.
If nothing else, Bernal should reach the realm of a fierce blood warrior at the age of thirty-five, and there is no problem in inheriting the family business, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to go further.
Then he asked Caroline about her cultivation progress, and gave a vague "okay" evaluation, obviously not very important to Caroline's cultivation progress who was going to marry in the future.
Only finally did he look at Gray and ask.
"Gray, what is your current cultivation progress?"
"The first cultivation posture of the third blood method cultivation can last for almost six minutes."
Gray said without concealment.
There is no need to hide his current strength, but to say it is more important to Viscount Fergus and add some bargaining chips to himself, after all, there is a black hand behind the scenes who wants to kill him, and he needs Viscount Fergus's attention and protection.
"You've been able to hold on for six minutes? Well, that's good! ”
Hearing Gray's answer, a smile finally bloomed on Viscount Fergus's face, and he patted the armrest, and his face was full of smiles.
It has only been three and a half months since Gray became a lower blood warrior, but he has already been able to achieve the third blood method cultivation and hold the first posture for six minutes.
According to his estimate, according to this cultivation progress, Gray should be able to become a median blood warrior in two years, and maybe even less than two years, this cultivation speed can be said to be extremely fast, far exceeding him at the beginning, so he is so happy.
The rest of the room also looked at Gray with different expressions.
Lisa is happy from the bottom of her heart, after all, he and Gray are now both prosperous and loss, and she is also very dependent on Gray's brother, so she naturally hopes that Gray is as powerful as possible.
Caroline was simply amazed at Gray's talent, and how Gray's achievements had nothing to do with her, but Gray's talent was indeed surprising to her.
Bernal was deeply jealous, and the talent Gray showed was too much of a threat to his position in the family.
Ellis was jealous and suspicious, both jealous of Gray's talent and suspected of Gray's falsehood, after all, according to his previous observations, Gray's body was in trouble.
"With Gray's cultivation talent, I am afraid it is possible to become a berserker in the future."
Bernal had already restrained his jealousy, at least not on his face, and he said in a voice that was envious and happy for Gray.
"It's possible."
The smile on Viscount Fergus's face lingered for a long time.
Berserker, the level above the Berserker, is also the level he desperately desires to achieve, the strength is far stronger than the Berserker, under normal circumstances, one Berserker is enough to single out five Berserker warriors like him, which can be called terrifyingly strong.
It's a pity that at his current age, his body has begun to regress from prime to old age, and if there is no special opportunity, it is estimated that he will stop at the fierce blood warrior for the rest of his life, which is also a regret in his heart.
Now, seeing that Gray really has this talent, he is relieved and at the same time can't help but strengthen the previous thought, the benefits of berserker compared to ferocious blood warrior are not only reflected in combat power.
"Keep up the good work, don't slack off, don't waste your talent."
After thinking about it, afraid that Gray would be proud of it, Viscount Fergus added.
"I will, father."
Gray replied.
After talking about the cultivation, they began to chat, and the interesting stories and interesting things they saw in the books or heard were all in their small talk, and the atmosphere became much warmer than at the beginning.
"Father, I heard that there is a copperback drake in the Marquis of Sidney's family that is comparable in strength to the Blooded Warriors, is this true?"
Gray couldn't help but take the opportunity to ask his curiosity.
The Marquis of Sidney family, a family full of legends, because this family is different from other families, not by the way of lords, barons, viscounts, etc., step by step, but directly awarded the hereditary marquis title in one step.
This family is also the family that rules the Fergus family, and the Fergus family is divided by this family, and the wanted warrant mentioned yesterday was issued by this family.
There are many rumors about the legendary pioneering history of this family, the most well-known rumor is that the first family of the Sinis family had a copper-backed drake mount, and it was with this copper-backed drake that it became the current Marquis family in one fell swoop.
In the more than 300 years since it became the Marquis family, there has been no trace of this copper-backed drake in the Marquis of Sidney's family, but it is generally believed that this copper-backed drake did not die of old age.
Dragon beasts, blood beasts that have a direct bloodline relationship with the legendary mythical beast - dragons, generally have an extremely long lifespan, like the copper-backed dragon beast has a lifespan of thousands of years, which is far beyond the reach of humans.
"This copper-backed drake does exist."
As a direct member of the Sidney family, Viscount Fergus has obviously dealt with the Sidney family a lot of times, he said with great certainty.
"There really is !!"
Caroline covered her red lips with a rare look of surprise on her face.
The reason Gray asks about the Brasmike is because he has seen books related to the Sidney family on the miscellaneous shelves in the library, and Caroline has apparently read this book.
"I once saw it in the Sidney family, covered in brass-colored scales, and exuding a terrible aura......"
Viscount Fergus had a look of memory in his eyes, and it was obvious that that encounter with the copperback drake must have left a deep impression on him.
Afterwards, some interesting anecdotes were discussed, and it was close to noon, and a servant had already come to inform him that lunch was ready.
At this moment, Ellis stood up and spoke to Viscount Fergus.
"Father, I want to fight Gray, please allow me!"
