"Are you alright?"

Bernal beckoned to Gray with his usual gentle smile.

"No, it's okay......"

Gray shook his head, and when the dagger was knocked away by the burly man, he had some sprains on his right hand, but it was not serious.

On the contrary, the strong smell of blood on his body made him very uncomfortable, but after taking the blood of the blood beast twice, he already had a certain resistance to the strong smell of blood.

It's just that he still hasn't figured out what this is going on in his heart, and what is the force behind the murder of himself?

The power of being able to dispatch two high-ranking blood warriors can be described as quite large, at least the average baron family cannot afford two high-ranking blood warriors.

On the other side, Viscount Fergus had already walked over to the burly man.

"Layton Heck, it's you......"

The burly man's body type is too obvious, and when he saw the burly man, Viscount Ferguson had already guessed the identity of the other party.

Fergus ...... Viscount, calculating ......, and that one...... It's not an ordinary person who can resist it...... Title temptation. ”

The burly man was bleeding a lot, and there was already a large pool of blood under his body, and the soil was already stained red, he looked at Viscount Fergus weakly, and spoke.

Apparently, by now he had figured out why Viscount Fergus was here.

"That's only to blame you for finding the wrong person, the people of the Fergus family will not betray their own people......"

Viscount Fergus said with a cold face.

"Indeed...... Didn't expect ......"

The burly man laughed to himself.

"The Oliver family instructed you, right?"

Viscount Fergus didn't want to discuss this issue more, and asked directly in a cold voice.

"No...... It's ......"

The burly man shook his head with difficulty.

"Do you think you can fool me? What, you want to take the blame for the Oliver family before you die? ”

Viscount Fergus snorted coldly, obviously not believing the burly man's words.

"Ahem, since you know...... I'm dying, so don't ...... It's been a wasted effort......"

The burly man coughed a few times, spat a few mouthfuls of blood, became weaker and weaker, and finally lost his breath completely.

The Wind Blade is a powerful tool that can only be used after practicing the Wind Wolf and reaching the strength of a fierce blood warrior.

It is a killing move that Viscount Fergus relies on, even if a fierce blood warrior is hit hard, he may be seriously injured or even killed, let alone a high-ranking blood warrior.

"Dead ......?!"

Looking at the burly man who was completely dead, Gray turned pale and something was churning in his stomach, but he held back.

In his previous life and this life, this was the first time he had seen someone die in front of him, but after all, it was an adult soul, and he forcibly endured it, and he still endured it after all.

He looked to the side, and in order to divert his attention, he thought about what he had just heard the conversation between Viscount Fergus and the burly man.

The content of the conversation between the two made him quite concerned, first of all, judging from the meaning of the burly man's words, the other party seemed to have found an internal agent in the Fergus family to assist them in completing the assassination.

Listening to the meaning of the two, this Neiying did not become their Neiying as the burly strong man thought, but told Viscount Fergus about this matter, and Viscount Fergus took the opportunity to set up a trap to lure the burly man and others out.

As for the person who was chosen as the inner response, Gray already had a guess, although he didn't understand why the title was involved, but he would come to hunt because of Bernal's invitation, so Bernal must be the inner response.

Now that I think about it, Viscount Fergus forcibly let him participate in this hunt at that time, and his behavior can be described as quite strange, it turns out that there is such a calculation in it.

"I could clearly sense that Bernal was very hostile to me, but I didn't expect him to make such a decision at a critical moment......"

Gray's impression of Berard has changed a lot, originally he was guarding against the mastermind behind the scenes, but suddenly he found out that the other party was not behind the scenes, and he actually thwarted an assassination attempt against himself, and his emotions were inexplicably a little complicated.

"Listening to the words of the burly man, it seems that there is a knighthood involved between Bernal and me, could it be that Viscount Fergus intends to let me inherit the title?"

Gray was surprised by his own speculation, he had read a lot of books in the library during this time, he knew that illegitimate children had no inheritance rights, and if he wanted to pass on the throne to illegitimate children, there must be a lot of resistance, but he didn't expect Viscount Fergus to plan to do so.

"Whether Viscount Fergus intends to pass on the title to me for the time being, why is the Oliver family eyeing me?"

The matter of the title could not be concluded for the time being, Gray did not think much about it for the time being, and in fact, he had never considered inheriting the title, he considered the "mastermind behind the scenes" that he heard from the two of them.

"Is it because the Oliver family has an old feud with the Fergus family, or is it for some other reason?"

"And why did I assassinate the illegitimate son, and not Bernal, the first heir to the title?"

Gray thought hard.

"My biggest advantage over Bernal is probably my cultivation talent, which means that the Oliver family is eyeing me because of my cultivation talent."

"It's likely that the Oliver family doesn't want me to grow up, and is ready to strangle me before I grow up? But is the reason really that simple? ”

Although he had already guessed the reason why the Oliver family assassinated him, Gray felt that it was not so simple, and always felt that there was a deeper reason, but with the amount of information he had now, it was really not enough to judge.

He looked at Bernal and asked.

"Brother Bernard, what family is the Olivers?"

"The Oliver family is a viscount family located to the east of our territory, and like us, the same family that is divided by the Marquis of Sidney."

Bernal glanced at Gray with a slightly complicated expression and explained.

"This man is a lord of the Oliver family, so my father is sure that it was the Oliver family who assassinated you behind your back."

"Is our family on bad terms with the Olivers?"

Gray asked, frowning.

"There is no good or bad, and it is common for families to unite and often fight against each other, which is common among aristocratic families."

Bernal nodded and shook his head.

"...... like this"

Gray didn't seem to understand it, but he could probably understand what it meant.

The relationship between the nobles, sometimes intimate, sometimes like a mortal enemy, everything is driven by interests, so it is difficult to conclude the relationship between the two noble families.

But the information he had was still not enough for him to judge the deep-seated reason for Oliver's assassination.

Tell me about it!

With the sound of the bushes being pulled open, a man with a mustache approached, saw Viscount Fergus, and saluted respectfully.

"Lord Viscount."

This person was Lord Linde, who had been stopped by a high-ranking blood warrior before, and there was no surprise in his expression at the appearance of Viscount Fergus, obviously he had heard of the plan before.

"Hmm."

Viscount Fergus nodded faintly and asked.

"Escaped?"

"Yes, after hearing the fight here, I turned around and fled, and I couldn't stop it."

Lord Lind replied, and then he looked at the corpse of the burly man next to him.

"Sure enough, it's Layton Heck......"

He quickly recognized the identity of the burly man, and then looked at Viscount Ferguson and asked.

"Lord Viscount, how are we going to deal with this matter?"

"Tell all the families in the territory to bring troops to the castle tomorrow to meet, follow me to the Oliver family for a trip, and actually dare to assassinate the children of the Fergus family, this matter must be explained by the Oliver family!"

Viscount Fergus had a dangerous aura on his body, like an angry lion, and snorted coldly.

"Master Gray, Miss Caroline, great, you're all right!"

Soon after, Thea, who was in a group with Gray, along with the other noble children, came with a large group of guards.

After separating from Gray and Caroline, and realizing that she was not being pursued, Thea immediately ran to the place where the gravel forest met and brought in rescuers to save Gray and Caroline.

Hearing her words, knowing that Gray and Caroline were being hunted down, all the noble children present were also worried, after all, if Gray and Caroline had an accident, they would definitely be implicated, so they rushed to the rescue with their own guards almost without any hesitation.

Especially Ian. Ricardo was even more worried, he was the initiator of this hunt, and if something happened, the blame would definitely be on him.

"I've seen Lord Viscount......"

Someone had sharp eyes, saw Viscount Fergus next to him, and hurriedly saluted.

When the others saw it, they hurriedly saluted.

Knowing that Gray and Caroline were hunted down, all their attention was focused on the two of them, but they did not notice Viscount Fergus for the first time.

"Thank you for coming to the rescue of Gray and Caroline, but don't worry, the assassins have been killed."

Fergus suppressed the anger on his face and said with his usual majesty.

"Here's what we're supposed to do......"

All the noble heirs said respectfully.

The nobility of the families where they belong is divided by the Fergus family, and they are the retainers of the Fergus family, and it is their duty to protect the children of the Fergus family.
