Deep in the Black Soil Forest, outside the cabin where the wanted McCarthy Thompson once lived.

A purple-haired man dressed in black, stepping on the soft black soil, walked towards the hut step by step.

He had a scar that stretched across half of his face, his face was as cold as ice, and even colder were his eyes, like ice rays, as if anything that was looked at by these eyes would be frozen.

He pushed open the door of the hut, stepped into the hut and the like, rummaging through the hut.

Wardrobe, furniture bottom, bed underneath......

He didn't let go of all the places, he searched them carefully one by one, and finally, after searching the whole room, all the places he could find, he stood up, his brow furrowed.

Rustling!

Outside, there was a slight rustle like the wind blowing, and he turned abruptly, staring away with a cold gaze.

Then he saw four figures also dressed in black, appearing in his field of vision.

"Captain!"

Four black-clad figures came outside the hut and greeted respectfully, voices of men and women.

"How's it going, have you found out who killed McCarthy Thompson?"

The purple-haired man with a scar on his face asked in a cold voice.

"It's been found, it's Viscount Emerson here. Fergus. ”

One of the four men in black replied.

"Emerson. Fergus? ”

The purple-haired man with a scar on his face had a cold gaze as he muttered the name.

……

In the afternoon, in the open space south of the castle, Gray was practicing, but saw the maid Barbara running in a panic.

"What's the matter?"

Gray frowned slightly, stopped his cultivation, and looked at the other party.

He doesn't like to be disturbed when he is cultivating, this is known to the maid Barbara, since he still comes to bother when he knows it, then the importance of this matter must exceed his cultivation at this time.

Gray ...... Young master, the viscount asked you to ...... Go to the castle gate and greet your distinguished guests with them! ”

Barbara, the maid, panted for breath as she ran all the way, her chest rising and falling as she gasped.

"Honored guests?"

Gray didn't notice, or rather, he didn't have the energy to appreciate it, and he muttered the word "honored guest" in his mouth.

can be called a distinguished guest by Viscount Fergus, the identity of this person can be imagined, even if it is the lowest, it should be from the earl family, and this person's status in the earl family cannot be too low.

"The Earl family close to the Fergus family is the Ford family, is it from the Ford family?"

"But the Ford family and the Fergus family don't seem to have much to do with each other, right? Why did the Ford family visit? ”

With this in mind, Gray kept walking, and walked quickly towards the castle gate with the maid Barbara.

When he reached the gate of the castle, he saw that Viscount Fergus, Lady Milan, Berar, Caroline, and others were already waiting there.

He walked over to Viscount Fergus, and was about to ask questions, when he saw a procession in the distance approaching him.

At the outskirts of the line were dozens of elite soldiers in black and white armor, and the horses under them were all pure black in color.

Inside the elite soldiers are eight men in white uniforms and riding on white horses.

Surrounded by men in white uniforms and soldiers in black and white armor was an elaborately decorated carriage.

Pulling the carriage are two sturdy and tall horses, their hair is red, their eyes are blazing, they are two red-blooded horses, can be drawn in a red-blooded carriage, it can be seen that the identity of the people in the carriage is not ordinary.

In fact, the carriage of the carriage, on the left and right sides, each has the same blood beast pattern.

It was bronze in color, with a large body, stout four legs, a slightly longer neck, and three sharp horns on its head, one on each side of the head, and one longer than its forehead, which pierced the sky.

This is the pattern of the copper-backed dragon beast, and the identity of the owner of the horse is already obvious.

"It's actually from the Sidney family?"

Gray was surprised in his eyes, because of the word "distinguished guest", he thought of the people of the Earl family, but he didn't expect that the identity of the person who came was higher than that of the Earl family, and he was actually the top boss of the Fergus family, the person in charge of the 400,000 square kilometers of land family.

Under the watchful eyes of Gray and the others, the carriage drove to the gate of the castle, and two people walked down from the carriage.

One of them, with an old face and mottled hair, was dressed in a gray robe, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

The other person, wearing a long white dress, has a well-proportioned and delicate face, a tall and slender figure, and a blond hair tied into a ponytail, which naturally reveals a noble temperament.

"Miss Poli, Master Duru!"

Under the leadership of Viscount Fergus, Gray and the others respectfully greeted them and greeted them.

These two are Poli, the daughter of the Marquis of Sidney, and Master Dulu, the master of alchemy enshrined by the Sidney family.

Looking at the two of them, Gray's gaze was not ordinary surprise.

One is the daughter of the marquis, and the other is the alchemy master who the marquis dares not to give face, the identities of the two, even in the family of the Marquis of Sidney, are also known for their dignity, but they did not expect to come to the Fergus family inexplicably, which is really beyond his expectations.

"Hmm."

In the face of everyone's greetings, Master Duru only nodded lightly, but it was Polly who replied to everyone with an elegant demeanor.

"Viscount Fergus, and all of you, take the liberty of disturbing!"

"Miss Poli is polite, it is the glory of the Fergus family that you and Master Duru can come to Fergus Castle, please come here!"

Viscount Fergus personally led the way for the two and introduced them into the Fergus family's living room, which was specially used to entertain VIPs.

The servants served pastries and milk tea, and everyone in the Fergus family sat around the two of them, like stars holding the moon.

"I didn't know that Miss Polly and Master Duru would arrive, only these two entertained people, please forgive me!"

Madame Milan accused.

"Madame is gracious!"

Polly smiled slightly, elegantly picked up the milk tea, and took a sip.

"It tastes good!"

"If only you liked it!"

Madame Milan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The arrival of the two was so sudden that no one came to report until they were about to arrive at the castle, and the time was rushed, and many things were not prepared in time.

The alchemy master Du Lu was obviously not interested in the pastries and milk tea prepared by the Fergus family, and did not move at all, but looked at Viscount Fergus and said directly.

"We're here this time, firstly, for the alchemy manuscript and the bottles of potions you mentioned in your last letter, and secondly, to go to the cabin where McCarthy Thompson once stayed."

"The manuscript and potions are in the castle, but the wooden house is a bit far from the castle, so I can only take Master Duru there tomorrow."

Finally understood the reason for the arrival of the two, Viscount Fergus hurriedly said.

"Then give me the manuscript and the bottles of potions first!"

Master Duru nodded faintly.

"Okay, I'll have someone get it."

Viscount Fergus was naturally able to guess the value of the manuscript and potion of the beast control potion, but in his hands, the manuscript and the potion were just like a pile of waste paper and a few bottles of waste liquid, so he naturally didn't mind doing a favor and handing it over to the other party.

"Bernal, go and get that stack of manuscripts on the desk in my study, and those bottles of potions in the locker!"

Bernal responded, and soon after, returned with the manuscript and several vials of potions.

As soon as the alchemy master Du Lu saw the result, he looked at it as if no one was around, not caring that there were Viscount Fergus and others around.

And as he watched, the look in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and a faint smile appeared on his face, obviously he should have discovered something.

It also confirmed Gray's previous suspicion that this was a deductive manuscript about alchemy, and only an alchemist could understand it.

Master Duru was busy looking at the manuscript, but the atmosphere in the living room did not get colder because of this, all because of Poli.

She didn't talk to everyone without any pretensions, and she talked and laughed with everyone.

"I didn't expect Sister Caroline to like to read books, by the way, what type of books does Sister Caroline like to read?"

She looked at Caroline.

"It's more miscellaneous, you can read all the books, but my favorite is the books about the customs and customs of various places!"

Carolyn said.

"Is it the customs? It's really interesting, even at home, you can know the scenery and people's habits in a far, far away place. ”

Polly smiled.

"My favorite thing is the biographies of historical figures, and it's really fun to look at their legends and feel like you're traveling, adventuring, and seeing all sorts of events with them."

"If you want to have a biography, there is a library in the castle, but I don't know if you have read it......"

It's rare to meet someone who likes to read, and Caroline is also interested.

"What's the name?"

"Luca's Travels," Wynne's Biography, Roger's Biography......"

"Some of them have been seen, but there are many that have not been seen."

Polly said with a smile on her face.

The books in this world have obvious regional characteristics, and many books are only circulated in a small area, which makes it impossible for even the top aristocratic families to guarantee that all the books have been collected.

"This young lady of the Marquis family is unexpectedly easy to get along with."

In the living room, Gray occasionally interjects a few words, but most of the time he is in the audience.

From the words and demeanor of this young lady of the marquis's family, he could feel that the other party was not as domineering as the ordinary noble children.

The body is full of gentle and elegant temperament, and the conversation is extremely decent, and there is no superior posture, it is easy to mingle with the people around you, and you can feel the atmosphere in the living room at this time.
