After the feast, the Fergus family returned to Fergus Castle, followed by the three Saroyan siblings.

The original Sidney Castle had been completely destroyed, and a new castle was being built and was not yet completed, so the Fergus family invited the three of them to Fergus Castle.

After two days of travel, the group returned to Fergus Castle.

Not the original Fergus Castle, the new Fergus Castle has been built and the Fergus family has moved in.

It is a huge castle built on top of a hill, which bears some vague resemblance to the original Fergus Castle, but is several times the size of the original Fergus Castle.

The thick city walls lie horizontally, the exquisite buildings are towering, the white stone paved ground, the flower beds on both sides of the road are dotted, and the interior has gardens, pavilions, rockeries, and ponds.

The Fergus family spent a lot of gold to build the castle, but it seems to be worth the money.

In addition to the new castle, the city of Fergus is also expanding, and of course it cannot be completed so quickly, it must be a long process.

Back at Fergus Castle, the Earl of Fergus began to reward the nobles who participated in the war.

Each family was richly rewarded.

Two of the soldiers were knighted, much to their excitement.

Although he died nine times in his life, he almost died on the battlefield many times, but the harvest was also huge, becoming a lord, even if it was the smallest title, but it was also a fief, and from now on, the trajectory of life will change fundamentally from ordinary people.

A few days later, Gray and the Fergus family left Fergus Castle and went to Gray's territory, where the three Saroyan siblings were invited.

After passing through the Cumberland family and paying a visit, they continued their journey, arriving at Gray's fiefdom a day later.

The horse-drawn carriage walked slowly within the Grey fiefdom, admiring the natural scenery along the way.

Indeed, as Sophia said, the natural conditions of this territory are extremely superior, the terrain is flat, there are many fertile fields and arable land, and villages can often be seen, and these cultivated lands alone must be able to obtain a great amount of tax every year.

After half a day's journey, they came across a lake.

It is a huge lake with beautiful scenery and a small island in the middle of the lake.

This is the largest lake in the territory.

It is the biggest feature of this territory and the biggest source of income for this territory.

The water of the lake was turquoise, and there were many fat fish among them, some of which could be seen with Gray's eyesight, as long as a meter.

Every year, the lake brings great wealth to the territory.

Coming here, Gray and the others arrived at their destination on their trip to the territory.

This territory was called the Half Moon Territory when it was under the jurisdiction of the Purple Moon Kingdom, and the territory castle was called the Half Moon Castle.

The castle was not located in a large city, nor on an impregnable hill, but on a small island in the middle of the lake in front of you, and it had to be reached by boat.

"Lord Gray!"

Half Moon Castle had already received the news and sailed to meet them, and the first thing they greeted was two middle-aged men, both of whom had brown hair, one of them was tall, and the other was shorter and of medium stature.

The tall man is named Hogan. Marcus, a man of medium stature named Simpson. Carey, they are the people sent by the royal family to manage the territory for Gray, one of them is responsible for the governance of the territory, and the other is responsible for the finances of the territory.

Led by the two of them, Gray and his party entered the island by boat, which is a small island with an area of dozens of kilometers, in the shape of irregular gears, and a huge castle in the middle.

"It's huge!"

Seeing this castle, Sarah, Polly and the others were all surprised.

The castle is made of white stone, surrounded by horizontal walls and minarets, and is extremely large, even larger than the newly built Fergus Castle.

Only obvious traces of weathering can be seen on the surface, and it can be seen that the castle has been around for a long time.

"Lord Gray!"

At the entrance to the castle, a group of servants stood respectfully on either side of the castle entrance to greet them.

Among them, there are young maids who wear black and white maid costumes, have a slender body, and can reach the middle and upper levels of appearance.

There are chefs in kitchen clothes.

There are male servants who wear manservant clothes and are in charge of manual work.

There was also a young man dressed in a pharmacist's robe.

These are all "gifts" from the royal family, they are all adopted and nurtured by the royal family from orphans, and they are generally sent by the royal family to serve the royal family members and a small number of nobles who are highly valued by the royal family.

"Hmm."

Gray nodded with satisfaction, extremely satisfied with these castle necessities given by the royal family, saving him from the worries of going to invite.

Moreover, these people have been professionally trained by the royal family, and they are extremely skilled in all kinds of occupations to be engaged in, which is by no means comparable to those hired temporarily.

Among these people, Gray was most satisfied with the young man in the pharmacist suit, a pharmacist trained by the royal family, although not a master of alchemy, but also precious.

The cultivation of pharmacists attaches great importance to talent, and without the corresponding talent, even if he is beside the alchemy master all the year round, it is difficult to become a alchemy master.

"Lord Gray, according to the castle records, this castle has existed since the founding of the Purple Moon Kingdom."

Enter the castle, Hogan. Marcus & Simpson. Carey respectfully introduced Gray with great respect.

After getting the appointment of the royal family, they naturally investigated and understood the lord of Gray, but this understanding surprised them, but they couldn't help but be surprised.

They were conferred the title of earl for the first time, and they knew this very well, so they could naturally see that the royal family valued this lord, and they were even more ecstatic after learning about Gray's achievements on the battlefield.

With such a lord with great potential and the favor of the royal family, their status is bound to rise.

In fact, they have felt this increase in status, and in recent times, they have received a succession of invitations from many nobles, some of whom had previously ignored them, but now they were extremely enthusiastic.

"It existed at the beginning of the founding of the country, is it an imperial building?"

Gray's eyes lit up and he asked.

If this castle was an Imperial building, then he would have to take a closer look, and maybe he would be able to find a secret room or something.

To be able to have such a huge castle, even during the Imperial period, the status may not be low, and if you can discover the hidden secret room, you will definitely be able to obtain extremely valuable gains.

"I don't know this, the information in the castle is not recorded in detail."

Hogan. Marcus shook his head.

The group walked around the castle, which had gardens, rockeries, ponds, pavilions, a training ground paved with hard stone, and even a small horse farm.

It can be said that all the pleasures of the nobility are here, but although the castle is huge and magnificent, after all, too much time has passed, and some places inevitably show signs of weathering.

"A nice castle, but it's been uninhabited for too long, and it's in need of a major repair!"

Earl Fergus said.

"It's really in need of a major overhaul."

Gray nodded, although he should not live in this castle permanently, it is necessary to overhaul the castle, this place is in the middle of the lake, the summer must be quite cool, and the Fergus family can come here to escape the heat in the summer in the future.

As for the money needed for repairs, it is naturally not a problem, not to mention that the annual tax revenue of this territory is extremely huge, let's just say that the 30 million gold coins he obtained in the king's cemetery, not to mention repairs, even a few more such castles are enough.

It took the men half an hour to go around the castle, and in the process, Gray tried to find out if there was a hidden chamber, but found nothing.

The castle is so huge, and the buildings are so dense that it's almost a labyrinth.

"This bedroom is mine!"

The main building of the castle has a total of three floors, and the third floor has a number of bedrooms, and Sarah immediately chose a bedroom facing the garden.

Gray, Earl Fergus and others also chose one room to live in for a long time when they came here in the future.

In the evening, everyone had a fish feast, grilled fish, fish soup, the ingredients were freshly fished from the lake, and the chef sent by the royal family made the taste was excellent, so that Gray and others were full of praise.

By midnight, everyone had fallen asleep.

Woo woo –

Suddenly, a low whimper suddenly came to mind, like the sound of the wind blowing through the building, or like the sound of a wild beast in the night, which would sound from time to time.

Swish!

In the bedroom, Gray suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, the look in his eyes extremely sharp.

With the strength of his brute blood warrior, his ears were naturally extremely powerful, and he could hear the whimpering sound very clearly, and he was sure that it was not the sound of the wind blowing through the building, but rather the roar of a creature he had seen before.

He put on his clothes, left the bedroom, and walked down the stairs, following the intermittent whimpering sounds.

He didn't have a lamp, thanks to the Shadow Snake's infrared perception, which gave him night vision, even in the dark.

Following the sound, he searched all the way, and finally, found the place where the sound came from.

It was a well, which they had seen before during their visit to the castle.

According to the castle servant, the well was a dry well and should have been useless for a long time.

Woo woo –

Another whining sound came from the ancient well.

Gray's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took out the rope from the purple ring, tied it to the edge of the well, and dived down the rope.
