Chapter 174: The Shadows Reappear
Somewhere in the kingdom, a slightly gloomy living room.
On the throne sat a thin old man, his eyes were gloomy, and his body exuded an eerie aura, and the whole person looked like a poisonous snake ready to show its fangs at any time.
"What do you three think of this news?"
He asked, looking at the people sitting on his left and right.
There were three people sitting on his left and right, and two on his left, one a man with purple hair and the other a man with short brown hair.
On the right, a woman wearing an eye patch.
The three of them were the three Shadow Serpent captains who had infiltrated the Marquis of Sidney.
"According to our previous investigation, this Fergus family has indeed benefited a lot from previous incidents, and the possibility of news is very high."
The purple-haired man said after a moment's thought.
"But the source of this source is unknown, and I fear that it is a conspiracy of the Sidney family."
The short-haired man frowned.
"Whether it is a conspiracy or not, as long as this news is true, it cannot be let go."
A cruel smile appeared on the woman's face, and she looked at the thin old man.
"My lord, let me go, no matter whether the Sidney family has a conspiracy or not, this Fergus family, I will make it disappear forever."
The thin old man frowned and thought for a moment, then decided.
"Since the credibility of the news is very high, then this Fergus family can't stay, however, the Fergus family is just a viscount family, you don't need to take action personally, you can arrange a few fierce assassins to carry it out."
……
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten days since Gray returned to Fergus Castle.
In the past ten days, in addition to his cultivation, he also participated in some aristocratic banquets.
Viscount Fergus seems to be interested in letting the aristocratic circle know Gray, so he frequently takes him to various banquets.
Because of the talent he showed, he was naturally highly sought after at the banquet, and many aristocratic girls looked at him, their eyes were shining, and they were very interested in him.
Before he was a minor, he was already a high-ranking blood warrior, and Gray's potential could be seen by anyone.
If it was the original owner of this body, I am afraid that it would have already swelled at this time, but fortunately, he is an adult after all and has rich social experience, so it will not be like this.
In a mountain forest near the castle, Gray walked in.
As Gray walked into the mountain forest, in the mountain forest, there was immediately a trembling movement, and soon, nine blood beasts and a fierce blood warrior appeared in front of him.
Gray stepped forward and took a closer look at the nine Blood Beasts plus the Blood Warrior.
"It's been more than 20 days since I got these corpses, but there are no signs of decay, it seems that the previous guess was right, the ability to control the corpse can not only control the corpse, but also keep the corpse not destructible."
Gray pinned his chin with one hand and muttered to himself.
This is undoubtedly good news, being able to keep the body for a long time without decay, that is, without damage, it can be held for a long time.
In this case, it is possible to expand the number of blood beast corpses under control.
Otherwise, while expanding, it is decaying and disappearing, and it is almost impossible to have a large number of blood beasts.
"I have to find a time to go to the Red Leaf Forest, hunt the blood beasts, increase the number of blood beasts, and see if there is a limit to the control, and what the limit is......"
Let the nine blood beasts and one blood warrior remain hidden in the woods, and Gray leaves.
There is no village near Fergus Castle, and naturally there are few hunters, so it is not easy to find nine blood beasts and a man of medium stature hidden here.
As for the regular patrols of the castle, Gray had already greeted them, and had already listed this place as one of his usual cultivation places, and he was not allowed to enter without his permission.
When night fell, it shrouded Fergus Castle like a huge black cloth, and the castle was lit up with sparkling lights.
Silently, five figures shrouded in darkness came towards Fergus Castle.
They avoided the sight of the castle's sentinels and came to a wall on the side of the castle.
Listening to the movement behind the wall, and then one of them gestured with his fingers, and the five of them suddenly formed five fingers into claws, like sharp claws, picking at the gaps in the wall, and slowly crawling towards the wall.
The walls, which were four or five meters high, were easily climbed up by them, and they jumped into the castle with ease.
A four-man Fergus family patrol walked by, and the four of them pounced like a gust of wind, and one of them covered the mouth of one of them, and with a slight twist, the four of them collapsed weakly.
After dinner, the Fergus family sat in the living room, chatting casually.
"Hey, I'll never go to a banquet with Gray again, and if he attends a banquet, those noble ladies will only surround him, so that I can't even find a dance partner."
Bernal sighed, of course, this is an exaggeration.
Although he is indeed not as popular as Gray, after all, he is the eldest son of Viscount Fergus, how can he not even find a dance partner, saying that this is all to liven up the atmosphere.
"yes, I thought you were because of Bernice. Miss Evelyn is dismissive of the other noble ladies. ”
Gray smiled and quipped.
"What are you talking about, I'm not ...... Miss Bernice?"
Originally, he wanted to make fun of Gray, but he didn't expect to be teased by Gray, and Bernal couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Yes, that's a pity, I heard from my father that he had plans to marry the Evelyn family, alas, since you don't want to, my father had better give up."
Gray shook his head slightly.
"Indeed, the Evelyns are the old baroness, one of the most likely to be granted the title of viscount by the Marquis of Sidney."
"If the two families can marry, it will be beneficial to both parties, but since you don't want to, then just do it."
Viscount Fergus couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious.
"No, I didn't say I didn't like it......"
Bernal blushed and denied, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
After chatting for a while, it was not too early, and everyone got up and prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest.
The door to the living room opened, and Bernal, who was a little agitated at this time, walked out first, as if fleeing, with Gray behind him.
Walking out of the living room, Gray looked casually down the hallway.
The next moment, his face changed suddenly, and he grabbed Bernal's shoulder, pulled him and hurried back into the living room, shouting loudly.
"There are assassins!"
Just now, at a casual glance, he actually found two shadow positions in the corridor, where a man in black used his shadow ability to crouch there.
Whew, whew!
And at the same time that Gray pulled Bernal into the living room, two black shadows also moved, and the two of them came straight to Gray and Bernal, and the weapons in their hands were dark, attacking the two.
Poof, poof!
Gray and Bernal suddenly retreated to the living room, causing their attacks to land on the wall.
The stone wall was easily pierced like tofu, and the two of them swiped casually, and the stone chips flew and the weapons reversed, striking at Gray and Bernal again.
Sou!
However, Gray burst out with terrifying speed, and suddenly retreated into the living room with Bernal.
"Bad ......"
In the living room, Viscount Fergus and the others all stood up, hearing Gray's shout and hearing the movement of the sharp blade cutting through the wall, everyone's faces changed drastically.
Among them, Viscount Fergus reacted the fastest, and took out a sword from a corner of the room with his backhand.
As a nobleman, assassination and assassination are common, so they often hide some weapons in some places they often visit.
Bernal and others are also looking for weapons.
Bang, bang!
At this moment, the two windows in the living room suddenly shattered, and two black shadows jumped in from the broken windows.
After jumping in, the two men armed with weapons and rushed towards the crowd.
For a while, assassins appeared outside the living room and inside the living room.
Retreating into the living room, Gray immediately pulled out a sword from the position where the weapon was hidden next to him, and at this time, the two people outside the living room door also happened to rush to the door of the living room.
Sou!
With a terrifying burst of speed, Gray appeared in front of an assassin and slashed his sword into the assassin's throat.
Clang!
Faced with the sudden outbreak of terrifying speed and a fierce sword to the throat, this assassin hurriedly resisted with a short knife, but the power from the short knife was beyond his imagination.
Boom!
He was knocked upside down and flew out, slamming into the hallway wall, and the entire wall completely collapsed.
Swish!
The second assassin, facing Gray who was attacking his companion, immediately struck and slashed at Gray.
Sting!
At the same time as the second assassin's knife was slashed, Gray had already withdrawn.
Eventually, the second assassin's knife grazed Gray's throat, and several hairs could not be dodged, and they were directly wiped by the sharp blade and fell down.
"Drink—"
Dodging the second Assassin's knife to his throat, Gray's sword, like a swift bolt of lightning, slashed out and struck the second Assassin.
Clang!
The second assassin met him with a sword and blocked it.
Because he was already on guard, he was not like his first companion, and was slashed out by Gray's sword, but he was also shocked by the huge force from the sword, and he retreated again and again.
"Stand back, these two are not something you can deal with!"
Facing the two assassins who broke through the window and attacked, the strength was obviously not weak, Viscount Fergus had a solemn face and greeted him.
Behind him are Madame Milan, Bernal, Sarah, and the others, and he must stop the two Assassins or they will surely die.
Poof!
In the face of these two assassins, although Viscount Fergus has the advantage of speed, he does not have the same strength characteristics as Gray after all, and can simply attack one of them into the air, forming a one-on-one situation.
Dodged the attack of one of them, but was hit by the attack of the other person, and a wound immediately appeared in the abdomen, and drops of blood spilled.
In desperation, he had to take a few steps back and cast his wind blade to attack the two of them.
"Drink—"
Faced with the sudden attack of the Wind Blade, the two Assassins immediately struck together, slashing at the Wind Blade with their swords.
Although he was knocked back again and again by the impact of the wind blade, he finally blocked it and pounced on Viscount Fergus again.
