Chapter 199: Assassination
At midnight, Gray and the others returned from a banquet hosted by the Earl of Ford's family.
Since Donne. After the Ford siblings personally delivered the invitation to the auction, there was more movement between the Fergus family and the Ford family.
"Gray, come to the study!"
At the banquet, Gray, who had spent a lot of energy dealing with the overheated aristocratic girl, was a little tired and ready to go back to his bedroom to sleep, but was stopped by Viscount Fergus.
Following Viscount Fergus to the study, Gray was full of doubts.
It's not clear what exactly Viscount Fergus is up to, and why is it being picked at this time?
"Father, what's the matter?"
Sitting across from Viscount Fergus at the coffee table, Gray asked directly.
Viscount Fergus also knew that Gray was very tired at this time, so he didn't hesitate too much and asked.
"What do you think of Miss Hazel?"
"Ah......?"
Gray was startled by Viscount Fergus's unprovoked inquiry, and after a moment, he looked at Viscount Fergus with a strange expression.
"Father, it can't be that Earl Ford wants to marry Miss Hazel to me, right?"
Hazel was the last time she followed Donn. The girl who came with Ford to deliver the invitation to the auction had been met by Gray at a banquet in recent months.
"Nope."
Viscount Fergus shook his head, and Gray breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, he was hit by a hammer again.
"But I can sense that Earl Ford means that."
Viscount Fergus continued.
"If you can marry the Ford family, it will be good for both the Fergus family and the Ford family."
"Of course, it's up to you to do it, and the Fergus family doesn't need to profit from your marriage."
That is, Gray, he would be so eloquent, if it was Bernal and Ellis, he would have decided directly.
There is no way, the current Gray strength is not inferior to him, and it is the hope of the Fergus family to become an earl family in the future, if there is an estrangement with Gray because of the marriage, it will do more harm than good.
"What do you think of it yourself?"
Gray thought for a moment before replying.
"I'm too young to think about it too soon."
In terms of beauty, Hazel is indeed quite beautiful, but not all beautiful people are suitable for wives, Gray does not want to make a hasty decision, and he really does not want to think about such things too soon.
"It's fine."
Viscount Fergus nodded, since Gray had already said so, he naturally had only support.
It was while Gray was talking to Viscount Fergus in his study.
Six figures silently climbed over the walls of Fergus Castle and entered Fergus Castle.
They were shrouded in shadows, and walking along the shadows of the castle building, there were patrolling castle guards, who passed by more than ten meters away from them, and they couldn't find these six people at all.
One of the six was a woman wearing an eye patch, one of the three captains of the Shadow Serpent who possessed Berserker's strength.
With the ability of shadows, the six of them escaped several waves of patrolling guards and smoothly entered the hall of the castle, and then, along the stairs leading to the second floor, groped their way to the second floor.
The second floor is where the bedrooms of the Fergus family are located.
Soon, the person who walked in front entered the second floor, his eyes carefully looked at the sides of the corridor on the second floor, and in the night vision, he did not feel any signs of life.
In order to prevent assassination, some aristocratic families would bring their hounds to the floor of their bedrooms after dark, and with their keen ears and sense of smell, they could spot the assassins in advance.
They had anticipated this situation and were prepared for it, but now it seems that the Fergus family was more vigilant than they thought and did not do so.
He turned his head and held out his hand, gesturing to his companion to follow.
At this moment, in the corridor on the second floor, in a shadow that he had seen before and had not found life, a behemoth suddenly jumped out, brought a strong wind, and slapped his back with a claw.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang, as if something had slammed into the wall, smashing it down.
"Oh no, something happened!"
In the study, Gray and Viscount Fergus looked shocked, picked up the spare weapons in the study, opened the study door, and ran in the direction where the sound came.
Because they have already experienced two assassinations, how could the Fergus family be unguarded, and in the corridor on the second floor, a hunting dog used to be placed.
However, after consulting with Viscount Fergus, Gray replaced the hound with a leopard-type bloodbeast with a sharper sense of smell and hearing.
And the leopard-type blood beast, as the body of the controlled blood beast, naturally cannot sense the body temperature, which is also the reason why this assassin of the Shadow Serpent did not perceive the leopard-type blood beast hiding in the shadows.
"It's an assassin, don't come out!"
When Gray and Viscount Fergus arrived near the stairs, they saw that the leopard-type blood beast was besieged by six men dressed in black.
And a wall next to the second floor has a hole that looks like someone has knocked out.
There is no doubt that this is an encounter with an assassin!
Immediately shouted to stop the crowd who were about to come out of the bedroom.
"How can the Fergus family have a mad blood beast?"
The blindfolded woman was shocked at this point, almost thinking that she had chosen the wrong target.
originally thought that with his own leadership, he wanted to destroy the Fergus family, a viscount family with only one bloody warrior, and he should be able to capture it.
But he didn't want to, and he hadn't started the assassination yet, but he was attacked by a sneak attack, and one person was the first to be injured.
What surprised her even more was that the blood beast that suddenly attacked them was actually a mad-level blood beast.
A family that only has fierce blood warriors would actually have a precious berserk blood beast, according to common sense, this possibility is almost minimal, but now it has happened!
"Leave two people with me to intercept this blood beast, and the other three, go kill them!"
Seeing Gray and Viscount Fergus coming, she immediately ordered.
Whoosh!
Hearing her order, even three of them withdrew from the siege and pounced on Gray and Viscount Fergus.
"Drink—"
For the three people who pounced, Gray and Viscount Fergus did not hesitate, and they both cast their wind blades.
The space in the corridor is narrow, which is very suitable for using the ability of blood beasts, and the two of them will naturally not miss it!
Sou!
Two cyan wind blades struck the three of them one on the left and one on the right, and the three of them dodged to the left side together, and then waved the weapon in their hands without hesitation, slashing at the wind blade on the left.
Swish!
The Wind Blade on the right passed by them, while the Wind Blade on the left collided with the blade in their hands.
Click!
Although the blood beast's ability was powerful, in the face of the full force of the three fierce blood warriors, it still couldn't help but shatter like glass.
But at this moment, the bone-chilling cold suddenly erupted, and the icy frost spread and spread towards them, and suddenly a little frost appeared on them.
"Not good!"
The expressions of the three of them changed drastically, and they all retreated sharply.
Fortunately, they were not hit head-on by the Wind Blade, and only a little frost appeared on their bodies because of the diffuse cold.
At most, their bodies were slightly stiff, and with the physical fitness of their blood warriors, it only took a few moments to recover.
Whizzing!
But Gray and Viscount Fergus obviously won't let go of this opportunity.
It erupted with terrifying speed, quickly appearing in front of the three people, and the weapons in their hands slashed at each of them.
Clang!
The man who was attacked by Gray hurriedly raised the short knife in his hand to resist.
The hasty resistance, coupled with the fact that he was facing a very powerful Gray, the result was conceivable.
Fly backwards like a cannonball!
Clang!
The man who was attacked by Viscount Fergus, although he was better than the man who was attacked by Gray, but because of his hasty parry, he couldn't help but retreat backwards, and Viscount Fergus chased after him.
Because it was not the primary target, the third person reacted, but at this time, Gray had already slashed one person, freed his hand, and slashed directly at this person with a sword.
Clang!
The weapon collided, and this person was also shocked and retreated, even if he had reacted, his body was still slightly stiff, and he still couldn't help but be at a disadvantage in the face of Gray, who had terrifying power.
Sou!
Gray appeared at the man's side, sword in his right hand and a dagger in his left hand that shimmered with a faint green light.
Clang!
Using his sword to block the opponent's weapon, the dagger in Gray's hand slammed past the opponent's waist.
Burst!
Blood splattered, but what was splashed out was no longer red liquid, and the assassin stumbled a few times before falling limply, and between the corners of his mouth, there was also green liquid flowing out.
At this time, the assassin who had been smashed by Gray at the beginning had already climbed up and pounced, and Gray caught up.
Burst!
Shortly after Gray killed the first Assassin, the Assassin who fought with Viscount Fergus was wounded several times and was slashed in the neck by Viscount Fergus.
already has the upper hand, coupled with the opponent's frozen body and inflexible movements, in such a situation, Viscount Fergus naturally has no reason not to win.
Killing the Assassin, Viscount Fergus besieged the Assassin who was fighting Gray, and the two joined forces, and the third Assassin was also killed.
"Damn it!"
Although she was fighting with the leopard-type blood beast, the woman with the blindfold still noticed the battle on the other side, and when she saw three of her men killed, her face turned pale.
A complete miscalculation!
Not only is there a mad blood beast, but even the fierce blood warrior is not one, but two!
Moreover, the strength of this leopard-type blood beast is even stronger than her.
The combat power of the leopard-type blood beast is no different from when she was alive, and the blood method she cultivates is better at sneaking into assassination, and combat is not her strong point.
"Failed!"
There is no doubt that the assassination failed.
"Withdraw—"
She shouted in a low voice, and as soon as she held on to the handrail of the stairs, she slid down and fell, and she had already jumped from the second floor to the first floor.
Burst!
The other two Assassins also imagined her fleeing like this.
However, the leopard-type blood beast had already reacted, and suddenly intercepted there, slapping its claws at the front of the person and intercepting it at the top of the staircase.
