"Brother, is this my sister-in-law?"

"Poof—"

Gray squirted out a sip of tea.

Because Gray needed to make some preparations, and he also needed to explain to Viscount Fergus, he didn't set off on the same day, and Sophia's master and servant naturally stayed at Fergus Castle.

Seeing Sophia, Sarah immediately came to such a sentence, causing Gray to squirt out the tea in his mouth.

What kind of eyesight?

Does this look like your sister-in-law?

If it is really your sister-in-law, your brother will be happy for the rest of his life!

It's not because the other party is not beautiful, in terms of beauty, I don't have to say, Sophia is definitely the most beautiful person Gray has ever seen, but she is really not an easy person to use as a wife.

To be able to afford the rune space bag, and to be able to trade the desolate blood method, the identity is not simple, not to mention anything else, the disparity in identity between the two families is enough to make Gray encounter many obstacles.

Although Gray is confident that his future potential is definitely worthy of the other party, it is too tiring to do so, and he does not want to have a relationship that can be written into a classic love story.

Moreover, although there is not much contact, Gray can clearly feel that the other party has a tendency to have a black belly, if he really marries a wife, he is afraid that he will be eaten to death in the future.

Like now, he has been pitted into becoming a debt slave, and if he really becomes a wife, he may be miserable.

"yes."

"It's not."

Two voices rang out at the same time, the former being Sophia's distinctly joking voice, and the latter being Gray's serious voice.

"Uh-"

Hearing two completely different answers at the same time, Sarah didn't know who she should trust, and she wondered.

"Brother, is it really?"

Glaring fiercely at Sophia, who was obviously teasing Sarah, Gray said with a serious and serious expression.

"Of course not, I don't know her well......"

It took more than ten minutes to convince Sarah that the other party was indeed not the future sister-in-law, and Gray felt that his heart was not ordinary tired, and he became more and more convinced that such a woman was not suitable for being a wife.

……

Early the next morning, the carriage departed from Fergus Castle.

Theresa, the brown bearded man, was still driving, while Gray and Sophia were sitting in the carriage.

Gray didn't bring a mad-level blood beast, the mad-level blood beast target was too big to carry, and he was already a berserker himself, and his combat power and self-protection ability were already extremely strong.

Besides, the castle also needs to be guarded.

Although Viscount Fergus and the others could not command the blood beast because of Gray's absence, before Gray left, he had already given some simple orders to the blood beast.

Once in danger, Viscount Fergus and the others only need to retreat into the basement, and the berserk blood beasts will automatically meet the pursuing enemies and protect them.

"Isn't it time to give me a general idea of the ruins?"

Gray looked at Sophia and said.

He didn't want to know nothing, so he stupidly followed Sophia and the two to explore.

Although it is impossible for the other party to tell him the exact location of the ruins, the general situation, such as the general location of the ruins, needs to be known.

"The ruins are in the Night Forest."

Sophia nodded and said.

"Night Forest?"

Gray is no stranger to the name, and like the Akaji Forest, the Night Forest is a huge forest that traverses the Sidney Realm.

The reason why this forest is called the night forest is because the vegetation in this forest is extremely lush, with many tall trees, and walking in the forest during the day also has a gloomy feeling, such as walking at night.

"How deep will it go?"

After thinking about it, Gray asked.

"It's going to be more than 200 months long."

Sophia said with a straight face.

"More than two hundred months?"

Gray twitched his brow.

Month, a unit of measurement for the length of this world, is roughly equivalent to one kilometer in Gray's previous life, that is, more than 200 kilometers deep into the forest.

This depth is already extremely deep into the forest.

Don't look at the last time Gray walked in the Akaba Forest for more than ten days, but it was more of an arc around the Akaba Forest, not all the way to the depths of the forest.

When it went deepest, it should have been about two hundred kilometers, but at that time, it was already able to encounter a mad-level blood beast.

Although the distribution of blood beasts in different forests is not the same, at this depth, the danger may not be low.

"Declare in advance that if the danger of the exploration process is too high, I will immediately abandon this exploration."

Gray said with a serious expression.

"No problem, we'll judge when the time comes, and we won't be at odds with our own lives."

Sophia smiled slightly.

The carriage had been on the road all day, had some dry rations at noon, and in the evening it drove into a city.

The city has been around for some years, and the walls have strong signs of weathering, judging by the traces, at least hundreds of years old.

This is not a city of a feudal nobleman, but a city that belongs directly to the Sidney family.

Horse-drawn carriages wandered the streets, looking for taverns of a higher class.

Whether it is Gray or Sophia's master and servant, it is obvious that there is no shortage of this money, and there is no need to save for it.

The sun is about to set, but there are not many pedestrians walking on the streets of the city.

Some were caravans and mercenaries like Gray and the others, looking for a place to stay, while others were residents of the city, looking at the stalls on both sides of the street, buying ingredients for dinner.

The sound of chatting, bargaining, the sound of cars and horses, all kinds of sounds are mixed.

It's a lively scene, but also a harmonious one.

Wave –

The carriage moved forward, and suddenly, the originally noisy sound suddenly disappeared, as if everyone was silent for a moment.

"What's going on?"

Such an unusual situation naturally caught Gray's attention.

Why did the street, which was so noisy just a moment ago, suddenly stop making a sound?

He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

On the street, the carriage was still shuttling, and the pedestrians around him were still talking, but he could not hear the slightest sound.

"Something wrong with my ears?"

Gray looked stunned, as if he had been squeezed out of the noisy world of sound.

But he wasn't hurt, and he didn't have any signs before, so how could there be a sudden problem with his ears?

In a panic, he looked at Sophia, who was also sitting in the carriage, but saw that the expression on the other party's face was similar to his, and his face was also shocked.

"Can you hear the outside sound?"

He quickly asked.

"I can't hear you."

Sophia shook her head with a strange expression.

Outside, Theresa, who also sensed that something was wrong, stopped the carriage and spoke up.

"It's a little weird out there, you'd better come out and have a look!"

Gray and Sophia glanced at each other, quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and stepped out of the carriage.

Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians shuttled outside, but there was no sound at all.

Facing them, a carriage was approaching them at a very fast speed, and it looked like it was about to collide.

"Get out of the way!"

Without hesitation, Gray and Sophia jumped out of the carriage and dodged.

Although with their current physical fitness, even if they are hit by a carriage, they will definitely be fine.

But it's one thing not to be okay, it's another to be willing to be hit by a carriage.

Wow!

Next, a strange scene appeared in front of their eyes.

The two carriages collided together, and then, as if one of them was a phantom, the two carriages overlapped each other, and then quickly staggered.

From beginning to end, there was no movement of impact.

"Is it a phantom?"

Gray was stunned.

The carriage that rushed over just now was just a phantom?

But how could there be such a real apparition?

Sophia's face was similar to his, and she was equally stunned.

"How so?"

"See? These guys are all phantoms. ”

Theresa, who had not jumped from the carriage just now, said with a solemn face.

"What exactly did you encounter...... What is it? ”

Gray's face was solemn.

He reached out and touched a passerby, but his hand passed through the man without hindrance, and the man did not react the whole time.

This weird scene is really a bit infiltrating.

"Could it be that I met ...... That one? ”

Sophia's brows furrowed, as if she had thought of something, but she was a little unsure.

"What is it?"

Both Gray and Theresa looked at Sophia, desperate for an answer, even if it wasn't correct.

"I'm not sure, do you have anything on you that you don't know the material or the function?"

Sophia asked as she looked at the two of them with a serious expression.
