He set out on horseback that day, traveled overnight, and at noon the next day, Gray, who was a little tired, arrived in Sidney.

When you enter the city of Sidney, you will hear a lot of talking about the merchants and pedestrians, all of whom are related to the Sidney family.

The conversation between several of them caught Gray's attention and made him stop.

"It sounded like thunder......

A middle-aged man spoke.

"I thought it was raining, so I hurriedly got up and put away my clothes, guess what I saw?"

"What do you see?"

Someone next to him asked curiously.

"The sky is blue."

"Cyan?"

"Yes, the sky near Sidney Castle is actually blue, it looks like Sidney Castle is glowing."

The middle-aged man said with a serious face.

"The blue light flashed, and then I heard a roar that was supposed to be a beast, and it was so loud that it almost deaf my ears, but it seemed painful."

"It's painful?"

"Yes, it's a painful feeling, like a whipped animal, and the cry is obviously painful."

……

After listening for a while, unable to hear any more useful news, Gray rode towards Sidney Castle.

"The cyan light, could it be the ability of the wind-type blood beast?"

He frowned slightly.

Generally speaking, most of the rays that show cyan light are wind abilities, and of course they are not absolute, and the light of some abilities, which is similar to wind ability, also shows cyan.

After half an hour of horseback riding, a field appeared in front of Gray's eyes.

The most conspicuous of the wilderness is a mountain peak, which is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, but one side is slightly gentle, with a stone paved ground that leads to the summit.

At the top of the mountain, there is a large complex of buildings, and there is Sidney Castle.

It was supposed to be an extremely majestic complex, but at this time, the traces of a violent collapse could be clearly seen, and the collapsed buildings could be seen from a distance.

When I rode up the mountain, I saw a building that had almost collapsed.

Walls collapsed, minarets broke, houses shattered...... It's hard to imagine that just over a month ago, this was a magnificent building.

Leaping off his horse and walking into the ruins, Gray saw dried blood.

Stained on the ground, splashed on the wall, shocking.

There are some low-lying places, and even a bay of blood water has formed.

You can imagine what a terrible battle took place here.

From time to time, blood-stained rags can be seen peeled from clothes, but no bones can be seen.

Gray continued to walk, passing a house where he had once lived, which had completely collapsed and the roof above his head had fallen off.

He passed by a garden where, more than a month ago, he had had teaed and chatted with Saloyan and Polly.

At that time, Saloyan also solemnly reminded him to be careful of the Valen family, saying that there was an abnormality in the Valen family, but he never thought that the Fergus family was not attacked, but the Sidney family was attacked, and it was exterminated.

"At that time, it was said that there was an abnormality in the Valen family...... Then the Sidney family was wiped out, could it really be the Valen family? But the Valen family shouldn't have that kind of strength. ”

Recalling Saroyan's solemn reminder at that time, Gray couldn't help but suspect that all this was done by the Valen family, but with the strength of the Valen family, it should not be able to do this to this extent.

Not to mention the strongest force in the other family, the rune puppet with the strength of the Wild Blood Warrior, it is difficult to be able to transport it away quietly.

Even if it can be transported to Sidney Castle, it will be at most on par with the Sidney family's copper-backed dragon beasts, and it should not be able to destroy the Sidney family.

"Could it be that there are other forces involved? The Valen family has united with other forces? ”

If all this is really done by the Valen family, then there must be other forces involved, otherwise, with the strength of the Valen family, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the Sidney family.

"By the way, there is another Brute Warrior of the Sidney family sitting in the Furious Winds, I don't know what happened to him......"

Gray felt that this patriarch of the Sidney family was likely to be more than lucky, after all, he didn't even let go of the branch of the Sidney family, let alone let go of a brute warrior like him.

Continuing to walk forward, a scorching smell came into Gray's nose, and Gray, who had already faintly guessed, walked forward, and suddenly saw the back garden of the Sidney family, a scorched black trace.

Among the charred marks, there were bones one after another, piled up into a small mountain.

Among them was a corpse, extremely huge, each bone was extremely thick, it was the corpse of the copper-backed drake.

"Destroy the corpse?"

Along the way, the houses that were clearly deliberately vandalized, and the corpses that were burned to charcoal, all showed that the other side was destroying the traces of the battle, and obviously did not want anyone to trace their identities through the traces of the battle.

Leaving the charred garden, Gray walked around the ruins of Sidney Castle, trying to find some traces of battle, but unfortunately, the other party was so completely destroyed that he could not find the slightest trace of battle.

After a fruitless search, Gray left the ruins of the castle and went to the city of Sidney, where he paid dozens of people to bury the bodies of the Sidney family.

It was no longer possible to tell who was who, so Gray had to bury their bodies together.

"Young master, a basement has been discovered."

A civilian, who had been invited to bury the body, came over and reported to Gray.

"Basement? Take me there. ”

Following the civilian, Gray saw a dark hole in the ruins.

This place should have been buried before, but it was opened by this civilian, and the intention of the other party to do so, Gray could guess, was nothing more than to find something valuable and make a fortune from the dead.

Removing all the rubble from the top of the cavern, a staircase sloping downwards appeared, and a simple rune lamp was taken out of the ring, and Gray walked down.

After descending for a few tens of meters, a passage appeared in front of Gray's eyes.

Walking along the passage, I soon saw that on the ground, there were many silver shining blades falling, and there were also burn marks, which should be the result of the rune mechanism being touched.

As we walked on, several rooms made of stone appeared, with cabinets and chests in the room.

But at this point, everything was opened, and there was not the slightest thing left inside.

Ahead, there is a wall of stone, and there is no road left.

"This is supposed to be the Sidney family's treasure trove."

It was clear that this was the Sidney family's treasure trove, but it had been visited by the same group that had been destroyed by the Sidneys, and everything had been removed.

"The Sidney family should also have an escape secret passage...... right"

This basement reminded Gray of the escape tunnel, which might or may not have escaped.

Leaving the basement, Gray quickly summoned the civilians and told them to continue rummaging through the castle, and a few hours later, another basement was found.

Walking down the stairs down the basement, you will see a huge space with food, water, blankets, and even beds, which is supposed to be the basement used by the Sidney family to escape the crisis.

Behind the space was a deep passage, and Gray followed it.

"There are footprints!"

Suddenly, Gray noticed that there were many footprints on the ground of this passage.

"Did someone manage to escape, or was it left behind by the group that destroyed House Sidney?"

With a flash of thought on his face, Gray walked briskly down the passage.

After more than 100 meters of progress, a huge black iron metal door blocked the way.

"The escape trap has been lowered?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Gray's face at the sight of the black metal door.

The mechanism of the escape passage was put down, which means that this passage was passively used.

Who will use this passage?

The answer is self-explanatory.

"Could it be that the Marquis has already escaped, just to avoid being discovered by the enemy, and have gone into hiding?"

With the rune lamp in hand, Gray scrutinized the black metal wall.

I saw that there were scratches on the black iron metal wall.

"Someone from the Sidney family must have escaped from this place."

Seeing these traces, Gray became more and more sure that someone in the Sidney family must have managed to escape.

These traces must have been chased by the people who wanted to destroy the Sidney family, trying to break through the metal wall, but the metal wall was harder than expected, and these people finally failed to succeed.

After leaving the ruins of Sidney Castle, re-entering Sidney City, and obtaining the Tyrannical Wolf Blood purchased from the Rex Chamber of Commerce branch, Gray left Sidney City quietly.

In the process, Gray ran into other noble families who came to check on him, but Gray just said hello calmly and didn't say anything more.

He didn't say anything about the possibility that someone from the Sidney family might still be alive.

It is unknown whether the gang has left Sidney City, but if the gang knew that he already knew that someone in Sidney was not dead, and that he wanted to save Sidney, the Fergus family might suffer as a result.

People want to be saved, but they can only go quietly, and they must not let the other party realize that it is the Fergus family who is saving people.

He still had some confidence in this, and on the way to Sidney City, he had set up several waypoints in secret places.

As long as you meet with the escaped people of the Sidney family, you can use these waypoints to unknowingly bring the survivors of the Sidney family to the Fergus family and hide them.
