Chapter 254: Choice
The Marquis's study, returning to the castle of Saroyan with Manel. Sidney, following the Marquis of Sidney, came straight here.
"Father, how are you negotiating with the Valen family, is the other party willing to hand over Rob Tracy?"
Entering the study, Saroyan immediately asked.
"The Valen family directly refused!"
The Marquis of Sidney shook his head, and then said with a cold look in his eyes.
"The people who were sent have already been driven out before they even see the Marquis of Valen."
"It's too much of a deception."
Manel. Sidney's fists clenched, anger in his eyes.
The people who sent there have been driven out without even seeing the Lord, which is a naked humiliation.
"Father, we must teach the Valen family a lesson, otherwise, the Valen family will only think that our Sidney family is easy to bully."
Saroyan also had evil in his eyes, as a member of the Sidney family, he was angry when he learned that the Sidney family was so humiliated.
"I know."
The Marquis of Sidney nodded, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Since this matter was provoked by the Valen family first, then don't blame us Sidney family for doing too much."
"Father, what are you going to ......?"
Seeing that the Marquis of Sidney had already made a decision, Saroyan couldn't help but ask.
"Because of the plant ability, the Valen family built a castle in the forest, hmph, this time let the Valen family feel the taste of the beast tide."
The Marquis of Sidney said with a cold look in his eyes.
As a marquis in charge of a huge territory, when facing the enemy, he is naturally decisive in killing.
Even if he knew that this would involve many innocent people, he would not hesitate in the slightest, he was never a soft-hearted person.
"Beast tide?"
Hear the tide of beasts, Saroyan and Manel. Sidney's heart sank, and he immediately understood the Marquis of Sidney's plan.
However, neither of them had any intention of stopping them, but they were extremely supportive in their hearts, although this was likely to hurt the innocent, but those people were not the people of Sidney at all, so how could they care.
"Alright, the affairs of the Valen family will not be discussed for the time being, you mentioned in your letter before, Gray. Fergus is already a berserker, tell me the details. ”
The Marquis of Sidney waved his hand and interjected from the topic.
"Yes."
Saroyan & Manel. Sidney nodded, and quickly told what the two had seen during the battle, as well as the conversation that followed.
"Ruins? Good luck. ”
Hearing that Gray had found a ruin and obtained the magic weapon that could control the blood beast from that ruin, as well as the blood of the high-grade blood beast, he couldn't help but sigh slightly Gray's good luck.
"Moreover, his blood beast ability has mutated, increasing the ice attribute, and his combat power has been comparable to that of a special blood beast of the same realm."
Manel. Sidney added.
"Mutated? Increased the Ice stat? It seems that he should have taken some kind of high-grade blood beast blood of the ice attribute. ”
The Marquis of Sidney raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The two of us also think so, he should have taken some kind of ice-based high-grade blood beast blood, so that the blood beast's ability has mutated and its power has increased greatly."
Saroyan & Manel. Sidney all nodded.
The family has a rich collection of books, and they are extremely familiar with blood methods, and they all know that the blood of high-grade blood beasts has the ability to mutate the original blood beast ability of the user.
Of course, the probability of this mutation not being too large, and it involves the relationship between taking the blood of the blood beast and one's own level.
Generally speaking, the greater the gap between taking blood beast blood and one's own level, the easier it is to cause this mutation, and the smaller the gap, the smaller the possibility of mutation.
In fact, the last time the desolate blood beast blood that was killed by the copperback dragon beast, Saroyan was taking it, but it was a pity that he continued to take it for so long, and there was no mutation.
"Father, this time to encircle and suppress the Shadow Serpent, the Fergus family has made a lot of efforts, what is your plan for the Fergus family?"
Saroyan asked.
"Still hesitating, what do you two think?"
The Marquis of Sidney said with a slight solemn face.
"Since the Fergus family has met the conditions for advancing to the earl family, I think the Fergus family should be promoted to the earl family."
Saroyan is colorful.
"I also think that the Fergus family should be promoted to the Earl family, but there is a problem here."
Manel. Sidney frowned slightly.
"The head of the Fergus family is still in Emerson. Fergus, according to the regulations, the head of the family who is promoted to the Earl family must at least have the strength of a berserker, and he is obviously not satisfied. ”
"I'm thinking about that as well."
The Marquis of Sidney nodded.
With the potential that the Fergus family is showing now, he will definitely be able to become the left arm of the Sidney family in the future, just like the two earl families, and even beyond, he is naturally happy to let the Fergus family be promoted to the earl family.
However, the trouble is with Gray. Fergus is not yet the head of the Fergus family, and the title is not on his shoulder.
The three of them discussed for a while, and then they asked Viscount Fergus to summon him.
Soon after, under the guidance of the servant, the apprehensive Viscount Fergus entered the study of the Marquis of Sidney.
"Lord Marquis, Lord Manel, Master Saroyan!"
Seeing the three people in the study, he hurriedly saluted.
"Sit."
Motioning to Viscount Fergus and Manel. Sidney and Saroyan sat together on a fur sofa next to them, and the Marquis of Sidney spoke.
"I called you here mainly to discuss the promotion of the Fergus family to the Earl family."
"The promotion of the Fergus family to the Earl family?!"
Hearing this, Viscount Fergus first felt his heart beat half a beat slower, and then beat wildly again.
Promoted to the Earl family, this is the expectation and long-cherished wish of the Fergus family for generations.
The previous generation of the head of the Fergus family, that is, his father, died in the war with the Flame Kingdom in order to accumulate military exploits, but he didn't expect that his generation would finally have a turnaround.
It took a few moments for him to calm down.
Seeing that Viscount Fergus had calmed down a little, the Marquis of Sidney continued.
"The Fergus family's contribution to the Sidney family over the years is seen by the Sidney family."
"It's enough in terms of exploits, and now Gray. Fergus is already a berserker, and in principle, the Fergus family already has the qualifications to advance to the Earl family, but ......"
Hearing the Marquis of Sidney's mouth, Viscount Fergus chuckled in his heart, and his heart hung in his throat, for fear of hearing something bad.
"But now the head of the Fergus family is still you, not Gray, who has become a berserker. Fergus, this is different from the conditions for advancing to the Earl's family. ”
As soon as he heard that Gray was not currently the head of the Fergus family, he could not be promoted to the earl family, although Viscount Fergus was a little reluctant, after all, his current age was not too big, but he did not hesitate and immediately said.
"Lord Marquis, I will pass on the position of head of the family to Gray as soon as possible."
Losing the position of head of the family, compared with making the Fergus family an earl family, how to choose, he naturally understands very well.
"Don't make a decision so early, listen to me first."
The Marquis of Sidney waved his hand and motioned for Viscount Fergus to listen to him.
"At present, Gray is still too young and lacks experience in governing the territory, and during the period after being promoted to the Earl Family, many things need to be dealt with about the territory, and Gray may not be able to deal with it."
"The Sidneys have come up with a compromise solution, and you grant Gray a new option. As the successor to the title of Fergus, the Sidney family made an exception to promote the Fergus family to the earl family. ”
"Grant Gray the status of successor to the title and promote the Fergus family to the earl family?"
Viscount Fergus had a look of surprise on his face, he didn't expect the Sidney family to make such an offer.
"Of course, this method is a bit of a loss for Gray, and you need to go back and discuss this matter with Gray."
"Whether Gray inherits the title directly or by granting Gray the status of successor to the title is up to you."
Said the Marquis of Sidney.
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Viscount Fergus is coloring.
……
"The Fergus family has been confirmed to be promoted to the Earl family?"
Hearing the news that Viscount Fergus brought back, Gray couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
I didn't expect the Sidney family to really promote the Fergus family to the earl family.
Originally, on the way back, he and Viscount Fergus only thought about it for a while, and they were not too sure, but they didn't expect to be really promoted to the earl's family.
"Yes."
Viscount Fergus couldn't help but smile on his face, and then said with a grim face.
"But this is not unconditional, the marquis gave you the choice of directly letting you inherit the title and granting you the status of the successor of the title, only if one of these two conditions is met, the Fergus family can be promoted to the earl family, Gray, what do you think?"
"Just grant me the title of successor."
Without much hesitation, Gray made his choice directly.
The title is indeed tempting, but it is also very tiring, and now that he is not yet 20 years old, he really doesn't want to focus on governing the territory now.
And he doesn't have the ability to govern the territory now, and the period when he was just promoted to the earl family can be said to be the most chaotic period in the territory, and he is unwilling to do this kind of thankless work.
The most important thing is that if he inherits the title, he will inevitably drag down his cultivation because of too much entertainment.
For him, compared to governing the territory, the improvement of his own strength is the most important.
And with his view of the nature of this world, in this world, the most important thing is always strength, and everything else, such as power and wealth, is secondary.
With strength, power and wealth will be possessed, and without strength, even if you have power and wealth, you will not be able to last long.
"Gray, you don't have to worry about me!"
Seeing that Gray chose the latter without hesitation, Viscount Fergus said.
"No, father, I didn't make this choice because I was afraid of you."
Gray shook his head.
"I'm only under 20 years old now, and I want to spend my energy on cultivation more than governing the territory."
"Okay then, since you insist."
Seeing Gray say this, Viscount Fergus didn't say anything more.
In fact, in his heart, he also wants to sit on this earl's seat, it doesn't take too long, it is enough to sit for a few years and enjoy the addiction of the earl's position.
