Chapter 238: The Missing Girl
"Only measel blood?"
The Weasel is a special blood beast of the mad level that Gray, Sophia, and Theresa have teamed up to kill.
The limit of his ability is the mad level, and after reaching the brute level, he will be eliminated, so he always feels that it is too much pity to use a chance to swallow blood.
The blood warrior cultivation system in this world is not implanted with bloodlines that can be infinitely improved, but each bloodline has its own limits.
When the limit is reached, a higher level bloodline must be implanted in order to continue to improve.
It's a bit like the genetic modification of animals that existed in science fiction movies in previous lives.
A genetically modified person based on the wolf's genes and genetically modified will have the greatest limit of the quality of all aspects of the body comparable to this wolf, and will not surpass this species.
Because of this, the ability that Gray gained by swallowing the blood of the blood beast also has the limit of his own growth, and when this limit is exceeded, it is difficult for this ability to grow.
Except for the individual ones, even if they don't grow, they can also have abilities that can help Gray to a certain extent, such as feedback, shadow ability, infrared perception, and other abilities, as Gray's strength increases, they are bound to be eliminated.
Elimination is inevitable, and all Gray can do is to take high-grade blood beast blood as much as possible every time he takes it, so that the elimination will come later.
The Weasel bloodline is obviously the kind of bloodline that will be eliminated in a relatively short period of time, so Gray doesn't want to swallow the Weasel blood as a last resort.
"There are still five months to go, let's see if we can get a more suitable bloodline in these five months."
If he can't find a high-level special bloodline of the wind system within these five months, Gray can only choose to swallow the weasel blood.
Although it is more wasteful, it is acceptable to waste some more than to improve one's strength by leaps and bounds.
"Master Gray."
"Master Gray."
……
Leaving the woods and returning to the castle, Gray walked into the castle hall amid the respectful servants of the castle.
"Master Gray, Lord Viscount looked for you just now!"
Standing in the middle of the hall, Barbara, the maid who seemed to be waiting for him, greeted him respectfully.
"Did you say anything?"
Gray asked.
"No, it's just for you to go to the garden pavilion if you come back."
"Oh."
Gray nodded and walked towards the garden gazebo.
"It's coming!"
In the garden pavilion, there are many tables, chairs and coffee tables, and Viscount Fergus and even the rest of the Fergus family are present, with smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Seeing Gray coming, Viscount Fergus beckoned, and said with a smile on his face.
"Hmm."
Gray answered, and sat down next to Sarah, who had already come over and grinned.
"Sister Bernice is pregnant."
"Pregnant?"
Gray looked at Bernice with a happy smile on his face in surprise, and then at Bernal, who was smiling so much that he couldn't close his mouth, and said with a smile.
"Congratulations!"
The grudge between him and Bernal has long been resolved, and when he heard that the other party's wife was pregnant, he congratulated him from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you."
Bernal smiled in response.
"Sister Bernice is pregnant, I must have a hearty celebration today, I recommend eating the blood beast steak."
Beside her, Sarah coaxed, causing Gray and the others to laugh good-naturedly.
The flesh and blood of the blood beast is not only rich in nutrients, but also becomes extremely delicious after special treatment.
Gray brought back a lot of blood beast flesh last time, and it was all the flesh and blood of mad blood beasts, not to mention the deliciousness.
After Sarah ate it once, she obviously liked it, and from time to time she would encourage her to "eat a big meal".
"Let the kitchen prepare!"
Viscount Fergus smiled and gave an order to a servant next to him, who respectfully answered and left.
Soon after, the servant returned, but with him a middle-aged man.
The man, Nick, the butler of the Fergus family, walked up to Viscount Fergus and spoke.
"Lord Viscount, there was news from Maifeng Town just now, saying that there is a group of suspicious people in the town who have settled down, and they have come here for more than half a month, and the time has just coincided."
"I see, you go down first!"
Viscount Fergus nodded, waved his hand to signal the other party to step back, and frowned slightly.
Gray asked as he looked at him suspiciously.
"Father, has something happened to the territory recently?"
"Well, something did happen."
Viscount Fergus nodded.
"Since more than ten days ago, people have disappeared in the territory one after another, I asked all parts of the territory to pay attention to suspicious objects, just now there is news from Maifeng Town, and a group of suspicious people have been found."
"At present, Bernal is following up on this matter, but now that Bernice is pregnant, he needs to spare some more time to spend with Bernice, it seems that you need to go over and investigate this group."
"No problem."
Gray nodded in agreement, then continued.
"Who are the missing people?"
"It's all girls."
"All girls?"
Green raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, it's all girls, if nothing else, it should be done by mercenaries, after you pass, don't alarm this group of people first, and investigate clearly before you do it."
Viscount Fergus said.
"I see."
Gray nodded.
The aristocracy of this world knows how to enjoy pleasure very well, and some nobles with a very erosive style will collect beautiful girls for their own "enjoyment".
Some mercenary groups see the huge profits and will engage in human trafficking.
It's all girls who disappeared this time.,If nothing else.,It should have been captured by a mercenary group that trafficked in people.。
For this kind of mercenary, the nobles of each territory will not forgive once they are discovered.
After all, population is the foundation of a territory, and if a disappearance of a population causes a riot and causes the loss of population in the territory, the consequences will be quite serious.
"Selling girls!"
"How can there be such a mercenary?"
Caroline's brow furrowed, her face full of disgust, and Bernice frowned.
"These mercenaries are really badass."
Sarah frowned as well, then rolled her eyes and shook Gray's hand.
"Brother, take me with you!"
"Next time?"
Gray raised an eyebrow, he wasn't worried that something would happen to Sarah, with him, a berserker, with him, that kind of thing naturally not going to happen.
It's just that this time he went to secretly investigate the group, not to go on an outing, and if he followed, he would inevitably have to suffer some hardships.
"No."
Sarah's head shook like a wave.
"Okay, I can take you there, but you have to do what I tell you to."
Gray's face straightened and he said solemnly.
"Got it."
Sarah nodded hurriedly.
Viscount Fergus saw that Gray agreed to Sarah's go, and he had no intention of stopping him.
It's just an ordinary human disappearance, it should only be done by some small mercenary groups, otherwise, he wouldn't have handed it over to Bernal before, and with Gray, a berserker, making a move, it is naturally impossible for something to go wrong.
After lunch, Gray and Sarah rode in a normal carriage to the town of McFung, south of the territory.
The town of Maifeng, one of the few towns led by Viscount Fergus, is surrounded by the most important grain producing area for the Fergus family, and is able to provide a large amount of income for the Fergus family every year.
Because he didn't want to startle the snake, Gray didn't take the guards with him, and even the carriage was specially changed to an ordinary carriage.
With his strength, if he wants to deal with these mercenaries, he doesn't need the soldiers to follow him at all.
Moreover, Maifeng Town, as a town with a population of thousands of people, is also an important producer of grain, so the Fergus family naturally has soldiers stationed here, even if they need soldiers, they only need to be dispatched in Maifeng Town.
In the afternoon, the carriage drove into the town mayor's house.
"Quick, meet Master Gray, Miss Sarah."
The mayor of the town was an old man in his sixties who had met Gray and Sarah at the Fergus family's New Year's party.
Seeing the arrival of the two Grays, he hurriedly took his family and saluted the two Grays.
Originally, he thought that it would be Young Master Bernal who came this time, but he didn't expect it to be Young Master Gray, and he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
Among the several young masters and ladies of the Fergus family, who is the most powerful, naturally there is no need to think about the question of knowing, if the children of his own family can be valued by this young master, the benefits are needless to say.
"Master Gray."
"Miss Sarah."
Behind him, two middle-aged couples, two young men, two young girls, and one teenager, all saluted Gray respectfully.
"Hmm."
Gray nodded faintly, glanced at several people, and finally returned to the old man and said.
"This time we came quietly, don't spread the word about us."
"Understood, understood."
The old man nodded repeatedly.
"How's that guy doing?"
"They are still at their residence, so as not to alarm them, no one has been sent to monitor them nearby."
"I just know that in the last few days, they have left the town every day, sometimes they return the same day, sometimes they come back the next day, and I don't know where they went."
The old man hurriedly said.
"Prepare a normal set of clothes for each of us, and then have someone take us over to see it."
Gray thought for a moment and commanded.
More than half an hour later, Gray and Sarah, dressed in ordinary clothes, led by one of the two young men before them, came to a remote street on the edge of the town.
"Master Gray, they live there."
The young man looked at a room in the distance and said.
Gray followed the other's gaze and saw a slightly old and even dilapidated room.
"This house is a rundown house in the town, and the gang bought it at a high price."
"Let's go."
Gray glanced at it, didn't stay too long, took Sarah, casually wandered around the town, and returned to the mayor's house.
He plans to come over at night to find out if the gang is the "traffickers" they are looking for.
