The hunt was hastily over, and an assassination took place, even if only four Fergus family guards were seriously injured, which still made everyone in no mood to continue hunting.

That night, however, Gray and the others ate a lot of delicious wild animals.

The wild animals that had been hunted were brought back and prepared with great care by the castle's cooks, as they were not crammed with grain, and tasted much better than usual.

After dinner, Viscount Fergus summoned Gray to his study.

Outside, the moon was purple, and the oil lamp in the study was shining brightly, and there were bursts of incense.

A small brown round table with four brown wooden chairs nearby, Viscount Fergus sat on one of the wooden chairs, while Gray sat on the other wooden chair, both with a cup of milk tea in front of them, and the servant who served had been waved away.

Picking up the milk tea, Viscount Fergus took a sip, put it down, looked at Gray, and spoke.

"You have a lot of questions on your mind, don't you?"

"Yes."

Gray didn't deny it, he did have too many questions.

Is Bernal the guilt?

Why did Viscount Fergus want to pass the title to the original owner of the body, and not to his eldest son, Bernal?

Why did the Oliver family assassinate him?

"A few days ago, someone approached Bernal and tried to lure you out of the castle to assassinate, but Bernal was not deceived by them, but reported it to me, and I made a plan to find out who was behind it......"

Viscount Fergus said slowly, and from his words, Gray's previous suspicion was confirmed that Bernal was indeed the one the Oliver family was looking for.

It's just that the Oliver family didn't expect it, Bernal was not bewitched, but told Viscount Fergus about it, and with the follow-up plan of "luring the snake out of the hole", the Oliver family was found out.

After giving a general account of the situation, Viscount Fergus asked.

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

"Why is Brother Bernal so hostile to me?"

The opportunity was rare, and Gray simply asked the question that had been bothering his mind.

He was not afraid that Viscount Fergus would be unhappy, since Viscount Fergus had already said so, he must have already had a plan to say it.

"Because I'm going to pass on the title to you, and this is what should have belonged to him."

Without dodging this rather pointed question, Viscount Fergus looked deeply at Gray and said.

"Why?"

"Because you're better suited than him, you can take the family one step further."

"Further?"

Gray was keenly aware of the unusual meaning of the word.

"Yes, go further."

Viscount Fergus nodded, not knowing if it was an illusion, from the other party's gaze, Gray seemed to be able to see a trace of heat.

"The Fergus family is now a viscount family, and further, isn't it the Earl family?"

Gray suddenly remembered what he had seen in a miscellaneous book in the library about the kingdom's general decree on the division of titles and succession in order to prevent the weakening of the overall strength.

There is a hard and fast rule that the earl title can only be awarded to Berserker and above, and if the three successive successors to the title in the family do not reach the Berserker level, the title will be downgraded.

Viscount Fergus's strength is obviously not up to the Berserker, and with the other party's current age, if there is no special opportunity, it is unlikely that he will go further.

And with the talent shown by the original owner of the body, it is possible to become the first berserker of the Fergus family, and then think of the Fergus family's desire to pass on the title to the original owner of the body, everything makes sense.

Viscount Fergus wanted to make the original owner of the body reach the strength of the berserker, and through the accumulation of military exploits, let the family go further, and push the family to the position of earl.

"That's the reason for that......"

The reasons for Bernard's hostility towards the original owner of the body, and the reason why Viscount Fergus wanted to pass on the title to the original owner of the body, have all been clarified.

Of course, the one in this body was no longer the same boy as before, and he hadn't thought about whether to inherit the title, at least for the time being, he didn't want to think about it, and Gray asked another question that he desperately wanted to know.

"Then why did the Oliver family want to assassinate me?"

"Because of the Earl's dispute."

"The Earl's Dispute?"

Gray's face was stunned, some stunned, some puzzled, and some confused.

Suddenly, why the Oliver family wanted to kill themselves was because the original owner of the body was actually involved in the dispute between the two families.

I don't understand why there is such a dispute between the Fergus family and the Oliver family as an earl, isn't the earl title rewarded according to the merits of the war? Both families are viscounts divided by the Marquis of Sidney's family, so they shouldn't be able to fight for the title by themselves, right?

Instead of rushing to answer Gray's question, Viscount Fergus asked.

"Do you know the Marquis of Sidney, how many counts and viscounts there are now?"

"Two counts, six viscounts."

This is what Gray asked Caroline on the way back after he was assassinated today.

The two Earl families are the Smally family and the Ford family, and the Viscount family is six families including the Fergus family: the Fergus family, the Oliver family, the Rychens family, the Shelly family, the Locke family, and the Bessem family.

"Then do you know how many counts a marquisal family can divide into several counts?"

Viscount Fergus continued.

"Three...?!"

After saying this, Gray was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sudden expression, and finally understood why there was a dispute between the Fergus family and the Oliver family.

"Yes, there is only one count left, but there are six viscounts, do you think the Oliver family will want to see you grow up?"

Viscount Fergus said with a slight smile.

"I don't want to."

Gray shook his head, he understood that the reason why the Fergus family and the Oliver family fought so fiercely that even the lord was killed in battle was for the only remaining earl.

If you can't kill the other party's children who have the potential to become berserkers, let the other party's family take the lead in cultivating berserkers, even if your own family also cultivates berserkers later, it won't help, no wonder the Oliver family will assassinate him madly.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything you need to know, come with me to the Oliver family tomorrow, and the Oliver family must give an explanation for this assassination, otherwise, similar assassinations will only continue."

Viscount Fergus clearly wanted to use the Oliver family as an example.

……

On a steep hillside, a majestic blue-gray castle stands.

Three sides are steep cliffs, and the only one that can be accessed is a tall and thick wall and arrow tower.

This is the castle of the Oliver family.

The Purple Moon Kingdom has a hilly terrain, and similar steep slopes are distributed more in the kingdom, so most of the noble castles of the Purple Moon Kingdom are built on steep slopes, which are very easy to defend and difficult to attack.

A man in a green suit with brown-yellow eyes hurried into the Oliver family and was ushered into an elegantly decorated living room.

The room was elegantly decorated, with aristocratic taste, reliefs, murals, rune lamps, all of which were of great value, but the man in the green uniform had no intention of appreciating it, but his face was full of anxiety.

He was the high-ranking blood warrior who was at war with Lord Lind today, and later heard the battle on Viscount Fergus's side, and fled.

Bang Bang Bang!

Footsteps approached, and a brown-haired man in a purple aristocratic suit approached.

The man has two brown beards, an ordinary face, and his stature is not too tall, but he stands straight, which unexpectedly gives people a sense of majesty.

"Lord Viscount!"

Seeing the brown-haired man, the man in the green suit quickly stood up and saluted the brown-haired man, who was none other than Viscount Waters Oliver. Oliver.

"Well, how...... You're the only one coming back? What about Leiden? ”

Seeing that there was only one man in the green suit, Waters asked with a slight frown.

"My lord, we have failed, we have fallen for Viscount Fergus's calculations, and Leiden is now estimated to be more than lucky."

The man in the green uniform said with an ugly face.

"Fell for Viscount Fergus's calculations?"

Waters frowned slightly.

"Yes, in the middle of the assassination, Viscount Fergus suddenly appeared, although I didn't see him in person, but judging from the movement of the battle, he should have made a move."

The man in the green uniform hurriedly said.

"Is there something wrong with Bernal?"

Waters motioned for the man in the green suit to sit down, then asked.

"It should be, we use trustworthy people in all links, and the only thing that can go wrong can only be Bernal's internal response."

The man in the green suit affirmed.

"That underestimated him, and was able to refuse the temptation of a knighthood, and Emmerson's fellow was lucky, all of them were so good, and so was Bernal, and even more so was the bastard son named Gray."

Waters said with a slight sigh.

"My lord, what now?"

The man in the green uniform asked with a solemn expression.

This time, the Oliver family assassinated the children of the Fergus family, and was discovered by the Fergus family, and the territorial war may be inevitable.

"Inform all the nobles in the territory, and lead the troops to assemble in the castle tomorrow, Emerson's anger, if you want to eliminate it, I'm afraid it won't be easy this time."

Waters pondered with his hands and commanded.

"Yes, I'll let you know."

The man in the green suit replied with a solemn face.
