"Does the Shadow Serpent's blood only strengthen my defenses?"

Gray thought about it as he left the clearing.

In the distance, Barbara, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, walked over, slender and graceful, looking at the figure of the other party walking over, Gray's eyes suddenly opened slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"Master Gray!"

Barbara, the maid, did not notice this minute moment of Gray, and walked up to him and saluted him respectfully.

Gray nodded and commanded.

"Go tell Butler Nick and ask him to find someone to re-pave the slate in that clearing!"

"Yes, Master Gree!"

Barbara, the maid, was gone, and she was used to the slate in the clearing, which had to be repaired every few months.

Green looked at the other party's departing back, and there was a strange look in his eyes.

"I can see ......"

At this time, in Gray's eyes, the figure of Barbara, the distant maid, is no longer wearing a black and white maid outfit, but a vague human figure smeared with red paint like an oil painting.

The shape of the human figure is extremely vague, and the shape of the human can only be faintly seen.

The red on the surface, deep and light, is unevenly distributed, like the random graffiti of an abstract painter.

"Isn't that ...... Infrared sensing? ”

With one hand on his chin, Gray guessed.

Snakes are not very eyesighted animals, it is said that the eyes are short-sighted, but they have an excellent ability to find prey, even if they are dozens of meters away, even at night, they can accurately find their prey.

The reason is that they can feel the infrared emitted by living beings, and this infrared is a kind of thermal radiation, as long as the living beings will inevitably have strong thermal radiation, they will not be able to escape the infrared perception of snakes.

And now, he seems to have acquired this ability to perceive infrared rays as well.

"How so? My strength has not yet reached the level of a fierce blood warrior, how can I have the ability of a blood beast? No, I get ......"

Gray's mind raced, and Gray thought of a reasonably reasonable explanation.

Infrared perception is considered a snake's ability, but this ability is not exclusive to snake blood beasts, even if it is not a snake blood beast, just an ordinary snake, it also has this ability, so he will have infrared perception ability before he reaches the fierce blood warrior.

"I didn't expect that in addition to the defensive characteristics, I also gained infrared perception, even if the strength cannot be determined, this Shadow Snake Blood Beast blood is worth it."

A portion of Shadow Snake Blood is enhanced in two ways, and from this point alone, Shadow Snake Blood is more valuable than the previous Cold Tiger Blood and Wind Wolf Blood.

Moreover, both defensive characteristics and infrared perception characteristics are extremely useful characteristics.

The defensive trait can enhance Gray's defense, and at critical moments, it can completely save Gray's life.

But for example, in the last fight with the wanted McCarthy Thompson, if Gray had already obtained the defensive trait of the Shadow Serpent at that time, he would have been more able to protect himself in the hands of the opponent, and he should not have been injured in his left hand in the end.

And the infrared vision, this thing is also extremely useful.

The last time he went to the imperial ruins in the Akaba Forest, he encountered the Shadow Serpent on the way, and it still made him feel some inexplicable chills in his heart.

The other party was completely hiding in the shadows, even Viscount Fergus didn't notice it, and the sudden attack really startled him.

Fortunately, Viscount Fergus reacted in time at that time, otherwise, he and Bernal would have been seriously injured even if they did not die.

At that time, if he already had infrared perception, even if the other party was hiding in the shadows, he should be able to detect it, so that he could be on guard in advance, and he would not be unprepared.

As if he had discovered a new toy, Gray was in the castle, using his infrared vision.

In his eyes, the servants are like random graffiti, with a strange abstract beauty.

The body seems to be painted with different shades of red paint, and the torso is generally darker, while the limbs are much lighter, even with a hint of reddish-green.

If it is an abstract painter who has obtained this infrared perception, at this moment, I am afraid that he has already burst out of inspiration, and the brush has taken a flight.

It wasn't until a shorter, slender figure than the others ran towards him that he turned off this infrared perception.

No, it can't be said to be off, just adjust the sensitivity amplitude of this infrared perception to the minimum, so that this infrared perception does not affect normal vision, but if you are in a dark environment, you can also feel the person in the dark.

The person who ran towards her was a cute girl about 1.5 meters tall, wearing a long white skirt with two braids on the left and right on her head, which made her look even more cute.

"Brother."

The girl was naturally Sarah, who had turned 14 just over a month ago, in the last month of winter.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the other party coming, Gray couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Brother, you promised me that after the snow melts, you will accompany me to Fergus City to play."

Sarah looked at Gray with anticipation.

"Ugh."

Gray remembered that more than a month ago, on Sarah's birthday, he pulled Gray and asked Gray to take him to Fergus City to play.

However, at that time, there was snow everywhere and the weather was extremely cold, considering that Sarah had not yet started to cultivate the blood method after all, and her physical fitness was far less strong than theirs, and it was easy to catch the wind cold, so he said that he would wait until the early spring of next year to make up for her.

He had forgotten it himself, but Sarah hadn't forgotten it, no, as soon as spring came, the snow melted, and he immediately found Gray.

"Okay."

Since he agreed, there was naturally no reason to refuse, and looking at the expectant eyes of the other party, Gray couldn't bear to refuse.

"Steward Nick, prepare a carriage for us, and arrange a team of soldiers, we will go to the city."

He approached Nick, the castle steward, and commanded.

After listening to his instructions, Nick the butler asked.

"Master Gray, do you need to call Lord Linde?"

According to the convention of the castle, every time Gray needs to leave the castle for something, he needs to be accompanied by Lord Linde for protection.

"Don't bother Lord Linde, I'll just take a walk around Fergus City, and I'll just have a squad of soldiers."

Gray thought for a moment and shook his head.

After all, Lord Linde is a lord with a noble status, and it is really not good to always trouble the other party, and besides, he now has the strength of a high-ranking blood warrior, and he is no longer afraid of the assassination of the viscount families, so he does not plan to trouble the other party.

"Yes, Master Gree!"

Butler Nick respectfully departed, and ordered the other servants to prepare the carriage soldiers, while he himself trotted all the way to the study of Viscount Fergus on the second floor of the castle.

Although this was Young Master Gray's own request, if something really happened, he would definitely be punished, so he came to report the situation to Viscount Fergus as soon as possible.

"It's okay, just let him be, just send an extra team of soldiers to follow!"

Viscount Fergus already knew the strength of Gray's superior blood warrior, and naturally understood that with Gray's current strength, it was impossible for the viscount families to assassinate him.

Moreover, there are many soldiers stationed in Fergus City, and it is very close to Fergus Castle, if it is really attacked, he can arrive in a few minutes at most, and naturally he will not stop it.

They left the castle in the afternoon and spent the whole afternoon wandering around the city, and it was not until late evening that the two returned to the castle.

After an afternoon of wandering around the city, Gray himself had a lot of fun, and it was the first time he had really visited the city of Fergus, which was only a few hundred meters away from Fergus Castle, after being in this world for so long.

Although the last time I was on the way back from learning aristocratic dance, I also walked for a while, but it was just a stopover, not a real walk.

At the same time, since the crossing, the big stone that has been pressing on his heart has also fallen, and in this world, he finally has the ability to protect himself.

With the strength of the high-ranking blood warriors, as long as they don't die by themselves, there should be no problem in self-preservation in the Viscount of Fergus.
