In the evening, Viscount Fergus returned to the castle with Gray, Caroline, Ellis, and a small number of soldiers, most of whom had been left in Giethoorn and placed under Bernal's command.

As soon as they returned to the castle, Madame Milan and Sarah greeted her, Sarah respectfully called out "Father", while Madame Milan looked at Viscount Fergus with a little confusion and asked.

"Master, why did you come back so late?"

She wore a black low-cut dress with a beautiful sapphire necklace on her chest, showing her noble lady's temperament.

"Because something delayed."

Viscount Fergus spoke.

"Is it troublesome?"

Mrs. Milan frowned in bewilderment, then asked.

By the way, why didn't you see Bernard? ”

Viscount Fergus did not answer immediately, but waved his hand to let the servants around him leave, leading everyone to the purple jade hall before speaking.

"It's a bit of a hassle, but it's a good thing, and as for Berar, I've left him in Giethoorn for the time being."

"A good thing?"

Lady Milan had a deep puzzle on her face, and Sarah also had a curiosity on her face, and sat down next to Gray, looking curiously at Viscount Fergus.

"Yes, in the Akaba Forest next to Giethoorn Village, a pregnant blood beast was found."

Viscount Fergus nodded and explained.

"What, pregnant...... Blood beasts? ”

Madame Milan covered her red lips and exclaimed.

Sarah didn't know much about the value of the pregnant blood beast, but she knew it very well, and her face was full of surprise, and she asked continuously.

"That's wonderful, sir, what kind of blood beast is it? After it gives birth, can you kill it with your strength? ”

"A cold tiger, the adult strength can be comparable to that of a fierce blood warrior, and the strength of pregnancy has become weaker, I estimate that it should not be a big problem to kill it, but to be on the safe side, I am ready to wait for it to give birth to cubs, and then gather Baron Ricardo and them to do it together."

Viscount Fergus tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair and said what he was going to do.

"Yes, the more insurance the better."

Mrs. Milan nodded repeatedly, and Sarah's face also showed joy at this time, just now, Gray had explained to her the value of the pregnant blood beast, and told her the benefits of this pregnant blood beast to the Fergus family.

If it is said that the sense of belonging to the Fergus family, Sarah is still above Gray.

Gray is because he has changed the soul of an adult, and he has a natural strangeness to the world and the Fergus family, and it is impossible to have a strong sense of belonging in a short period of time.

And Sarah does not have this strangeness, and her current privileged life is all given by the Fergus family, so she is particularly dependent on the Fergus family.

"This matter must also be kept secret, so as not to be discovered by other viscount families."

Viscount Fergus commanded.

Lady Milan and Sarah, who knew the importance of the Blood Beast, both nodded, and then Lady Milan said as if she remembered.

"By the way, sir, after you left today, the Ford Auction House sent an auction invitation to invite us Fergus family to participate in the next auction, which will be held on Sunday afternoon."

"Ford Auction House?"

Hearing the name, a trace of confusion appeared on Gray's face, he hadn't heard of the Ford auction house, but he had heard of the Ford family, which he had heard from Caroline after the hunting attack some time ago.

The Ford family, one of the two earls divided by the Marquis of Sidney family, has existed for more than 200 years, and is one of the earliest families to follow the Sidney Marquis family, with an extremely strong heritage.

Moreover, this family's territory also borders a small part of the Fergus family's territory, which is located southeast of the Fergus family.

"Sister Carolyn, isn't the Ford Auction House the property of the Ford family?"

He asked in a whisper to Caroline next to him.

"Well, the Ford Auction House is one of the three major industries of the Ford family, and it earns a lot of wealth for the Ford Auction House every year, which can be said to be the pillar industry of the Ford family."

Caroline replied with a nod.

"What are the three major industries?"

Gray asked curiously.

"Auction houses, aquatic products, textiles, I heard that the annual income of the three major industries of the Ford family is almost as fast as the territorial tax."

Caroline explained.

"Can you catch up with the territorial taxes?"

Gray had a look of surprise on his face.

The world industry is not developed, only a few small handicraft workshops, and most of the income of the nobles still comes from the tax of the territory, such as the Fergus family, and the tax from the territory accounts for more than ninety percent of their income.

The Ford family was able to find another way, make three major industries in addition to the territorial tax, and the income could catch up with the territorial tax, which was really unusual, and he couldn't help but be very curious about the Ford family.

"I wonder if I can make some inheritance from my past life in this world?"

After thinking about it, Gray shook his head with a wry smile in his heart.

Although he has a high status in the Fergus family, he has not yet had the opportunity to get in touch with family management, so it is impossible to engage in industry.

Moreover, in his previous life, he was just an office worker, not a scientist engaged in invention, and the little chemical knowledge he learned was completely forgotten in the first few years of work, and he returned it to the teacher, and he didn't know where to start.

The most important thing is that even if he has not forgotten the chemistry knowledge he learned before, he may not be able to make it out in this world.

It's really hard to say whether different worlds have the same rules of chemical reactions, especially in this world, where there are obviously many places that are different from previous lives.

Such as the shape of the world, such as the supernormal species of the Blood Beast, such as the Blood Warrior, an existence that transcends the limits of the human body...... In short, this is a completely new world, a world different from the previous life, and whether the things of the previous life can be used in this world remains to be clarified later.

On the other side, the conversation between Viscount Fergus and Madame Milan continued.

"Invitation to the Ford Auction House?"

Hearing Mrs. Milan's words, Viscount Fergus raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a little consideration, he shook his head and said.

"In the recent period, it is best not to let other families notice the Fergus family, and this time, our Fergus family will not participate in this auction."

"No, sir, I think the Fergus family should go to this auction."

Madame Milan smiled gracefully and shook her head.

"Oh?"

Viscount Fergus looked at Lady Milan.

"In the past auctions, the Fergus family has participated, and if I don't participate this time, it will be easier for other families to notice the Fergus family, so I think I should go to it."

Mrs. Milan explained with a smile.

Viscount Fergus touched his chin with one hand, carefully considered Madame Milan's words, and said.

"There is some truth to what you say, then this auction will be business as usual."

On Saturday afternoon, the open space south of the castle.

The black hair on the temples had been soaked with sweat, and drips of sweat had slipped down the chin and the tip of the nose, falling on the ground paved with stone slabs, and suddenly left a small trail of water on the stone slabs.

And as the sweat slides down, the water trail continues to expand.

Gray's body, on the other hand, shook slightly, like a tree shaken by the wind, which was a sign that his physical strength was reaching the limit.

"Drink—"

Finally, Gray couldn't hold on any longer, and with a low roar, he retreated from his cultivation posture.

Holding his knees with both hands, he regained his strength, and it took him half a while to regain some strength and stand up.

Cracking sound!

Twisting his body slightly, his whole body made a crackling sound like popping beans.

He let out a comfortable sound, this kind of movement of muscles and bones after cultivation, soothing the body, and giving him a different kind of enjoyment.

"Master Gree, wipe your sweat!"

Barbara, the maid, stepped forward and respectfully handed the towel with both hands.

Gray stretched out his hand to take it, and carefully wiped it on his face and head, but there was a little joy in his heart.

"The fourth time the first cultivation posture can last for a minute!"

From the time his strength reached the middle blood warrior to the present, only five days had passed, and in just five days, he had been able to hold on to the first cultivation posture for one minute for the fourth time, and this progress speed, although it was slightly slower than that of the lower blood warrior, was already extremely terrifying.

You must know that even at the lower Blood Warrior stage, it took Ellis half a year to increase his limit by four minutes, and it takes a month and a half to increase his physical limit by one minute.

And Gray, who is in the middle of the blood warrior, is already one level higher than Ellis in improving his strength, and he can still increase his physical strength limit by one minute in just five days.

Comparing the two, it is not difficult to see how fast his current cultivation progress is.

The reason is still that inexplicable "transformation", he is now in love with that inexplicable "transformation", the disadvantages are not seen, but the benefits are obvious, almost every day, the strength has been greatly improved.

"I'm going to go to the auction early tomorrow morning, but I can't cultivate, I heard that the place where the auction is held, that is, the main city of the Ford family, Ford City, is a city with a population of 300,000, so you can have a good look at it then."

With a permanent population of about 30,000, Fergus City can be counted as one of the largest cities in the Viscounty of Fergus, as well as other surrounding viscounties.

However, the population of the main city of the Ford family reached 300,000, which is ten times the population of Fergus City, and he was really full of curiosity, what kind of city is this?
