It took a moment for Viscount Fergus to retract the smile on his face, look at Gray, and ask with both surprise and doubt in his voice.

"But how did your strength improve so quickly? It's not been a year since you became a low-ranking Blood Warrior. ”

"I don't know."

Gray shook his head, and Mo Ling said.

"During the time I came to the castle, especially after taking the blood of the blood beast, my strength increased faster than before."

The inexplicable "metamorphosis" of the body, Gray felt that it had a lot to do with his own crossing, after all, before he occupied this body, this body did not have such a big reaction to taking the blood of the blood beast, so he selectively kept it and did not say it.

Viscount Fergus frowned, pondering the reason, and after a moment, came to a conclusion.

"It should be that before you came to the castle, there was no blood supply from the blood beast, and the cultivation conditions were too poor, so you couldn't fully stimulate your cultivation talent."

Gray's current situation can only be explained by this kind of explanation.

"Looks like we underestimated your talent."

Viscount Fergus sighed slightly.

He suddenly regretted a little, if he had known that Gray had this talent, he should have taken Gray into the castle to take care of him when he started to cultivate.

It's a pity that he couldn't do this at that time, and he delayed Gray for a year in vain, and if he had done this at that time, Gray might not be far from the upper blood warrior now.

"Father, we really underestimated Gray's talent."

Hearing Viscount Fergus's exclamation, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Bernal's mouth.

Among the people present, he was probably the one who felt the deepest.

is also a median blood warrior, he is in his early 22s, while Gray is not even 17 years old, compared to the two, his talent can be described as a complete failure.

Although he knew that he was not a genius, he did not expect that the gap between himself and Gray would be so big, and the results of seven years of cultivation were actually caught up by Gray in less than two years.

"Perhaps, my father was right to pass on the title to him!"

He couldn't help but think about the biggest contradiction between himself and Gray again.

If he inherits the title, it should be no problem to keep the title and family property, but it is almost impossible to go further and take the only remaining count in the Marquis of Sidney.

And the talent that Gray is showing now is almost certain to become a berserker, with the accumulation of the family's current military exploits, as long as he gains another combat exploits, he will be able to bring the family to the position of earl immediately.

Undoubtedly, for the family, it is the most correct choice for Gray to inherit the title.

"This guy is already a mid-rank blood warrior?!"

Staring at Gray, Ellis's eyes were a little dazed.

He really didn't want to believe that Gray was already a mid-rank blood warrior, but in the face of all kinds of evidence, he had to believe it.

Without the strength of a median blood warrior, Gray would never be able to defeat Morey, who was already a median blood warrior. Locke snatches back the Tiger cub in his hands.

And the Blood Method has been able to cultivate three times in a row and start cultivating for the fourth time, which is indeed a characteristic of a mid-rank blood warrior.

Blood power can be used about ten times in a row, which is also a characteristic of a mid-rank blood warrior.

He didn't think the other party would lie, after all, such a lie could be easily exposed.

"What a strong cultivation talent!"

Caroline also looked at Gray in extreme surprise, she has become a mid-level blood warrior in two years, even if she is a child of the Earl family whose cultivation conditions are better than the Fergus family, I am afraid that she may not be able to do it.

This younger brother who suddenly appeared broke everyone's perception of his talent again and again, not to mention other aspects for the time being, in terms of cultivation talent alone, it can already be described as "amazing".

She couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her eldest brother Bernal.

As for the title dispute between Bernal and Gray, she naturally prefers Bernal, after all, he is the half-brother of the same father, and he must be closer than the half-brother of Gray.

But now, she is really not optimistic about her eldest brother, and it is too difficult to compete for the right to inherit the title with such a person.

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Compared to the complex emotions in Bernard, Ellis, and Caroline's hearts, Sarah is much simpler, holding Gray's hand, her face full of excitement, as if she had become a mid-ranking blood warrior herself.

In terms of closeness, her closeness to Gray is still above Viscount Fergus, and it can be said that she sincerely hopes that Gray's cultivation talent is as strong as possible.

Bang, bang, bang!

Just as everyone was immersed in a shocked atmosphere, there was a knock on the door outside the room, accompanied by the voice of the butler Neeson.

"Lord Viscount."

"What's the matter?"

Viscount Fergus frowned slightly and asked, he had already instructed him just now, if there was no important situation, he would not come to disturb them.

"Lord Viscount, something has been found in the intestines of the cold tiger."

Outside the door, Neeson, the butler, spoke.

"Come in!"

Viscount Fergus nodded.

Crunch!

The door was pushed open, and Neeson, the housekeeper in a black butler suit, walked in, holding a piece of yellow leather more than ten centimeters long and wide, with wet marks on the surface, and it was impossible to tell what kind of animal leather it was.

With the leather in hand, he walked up to Viscount Fergus and spread it out on the table in front of Viscount Fergus.

Viscount Fergus looked at it casually, and then the next moment his gaze couldn't help but become slightly solemn, he turned his head to look at the butler Neeson, and said.

"Go down first, and warn all the servants not to tell anything about this leather."

"Yes, Lord Viscount."

Neeson, the butler, bowed respectfully, turned to leave, and as he left, closed the door again.

"Father, what the hell is it?"

Gray and the others obviously noticed the change in Viscount Fergus's expression just now, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Let's take a look!"

As he spoke, Viscount Fergus handed the leather to the lady of Milan beside him.

Everyone circulated it one by one, and the faces of those who read it couldn't help but have a trace of surprise, and finally passed it to Gray, who spread it out on the table and looked at it.

I saw that on this leather, there is an irregular pattern imprinted on the whole body, and the corners of the pattern are not rounded, and occasionally there are sharp corners that extend out.

And near the lower part of this silhouette, there is a clear triangular mark.

"Triangle signs? It's the same sign I got last time that it was suspected to be an Imperial Ruins, so is this also a map of Imperial Ruins? ”

"And this pattern looks like a topographic map of the Akaji Forest......"

Curious, Gray handed the leather to Sarah, who looked at it and lost interest, handed it to Caroline on her right, and eventually, the leather was back in the hands of Viscount Fergus.

"How's that, do you see that?"

Viscount Fergus looked at everyone with a smile.

"Father, this should be a treasure map, right?"

Bernal said after a moment's deliberation.

"Well, it's a treasure map, and what else can you see?"

Viscount Fergus asked with interest.

"This should be a map of the Akaba Forest."

Carolyn's brow furrowed slightly, slightly uncertain.

"Sure enough, it's the Akaba Forest!"

Hearing Caroline's judgment in the same way, Gray became more and more sure of his own judgment.

"That's right, this is indeed a topographical map of the Akaji Forest, and if nothing else, it should be a treasure map."

Viscount Fergus smiled slightly and concluded.

"Master, how can this treasure map be in the body of the cold tiger?"

Mrs. Milan asked with a frown.

"I am afraid it was swallowed by accident."

Viscount Fergus paused for a moment.

"Judging from the map, the location of this treasure should not be far from Giethoorn, and I have always been curious about how the cold tiger appeared at the edge of the forest, and now it seems that it is likely to have been artificially driven to the edge of the forest."

"Artificially driven? So someone has already traveled to this place where there may be treasure? ”

Mrs. Milan's expression suddenly became slightly disappointed, and when she saw that it was a treasure map, she was still wondering if the Fergus family would make a windfall, but she didn't expect that the place had already been patronized.

"I guess, I'm going to check it out when I have time, but don't get your hopes up."

Viscount Fergus nodded.

"By the way, master, this time the Locke family actually robbed the cold tiger cubs, and they almost robbed them, what are you going to do about this matter?"

Losing interest in the treasure map, Mrs. Milan couldn't help but turn her attention back to the fact that the Tiger cub was almost snatched by the Locke family.

When she learned that Hanhu was taken away, she was extremely angry, and scolded the Locke family for their shamelessness several times in a row, but fortunately she took it back, otherwise the Fergus family would have lost a lot this time.

Speaking of the matter about the Locke family, Viscount Fergus couldn't help frowning slightly, and after a moment, he sighed and said.

"This matter needs to be put aside for a while!"

"Father, this is too cheap for them, isn't it?"

Ellis said hatefully.

Viscount Fergus shook his head.

"In the last battle with the Oliver family, although we won, we also suffered a lot of losses, plus the cold tiger cub was also recaptured, this matter can only be put on hold for the time being."

After a slight pause, Viscount Fergus continued.

"However, sooner or later, this account will be calculated with the Locke family, okay, it's not too early, you all go and rest, tomorrow morning, you remember to receive a piece of Cold Tiger blood!"

"Although the effect is not as strong as the blood of the wind wolf, after all, it is also the blood of a fierce blood beast, so it should still have a good effect."
