A few days later.

The Fergus family's whitestone training ground.

Boom!

The two figures fought, then quickly separated.

One of the figures, dressed in an earthy yellow uniform, with a thin face, was in his early 1.7 meters tall and armed with an ironwood sword, and was none other than Lord Linde, the commander of the castle's soldiers.

Another figure with black hair, dressed in a gray battle uniform, with a young face, also holding an ironwood sword in his hand, was none other than Gray.

Swish!

Gray lightly stepped on the ground, and after a few steps, he had already appeared on the side of Lord Linde, and the ironwood sword in his hand was like a black light, slashing towards Lord Linde.

Swish!

Lord Lind, on the other hand, was already changing direction to adjust his center of gravity when Gray was approaching, and when the ironwood sword in Gray's hand was cut out, it happened to be facing Gray, and the ironwood sword in his hand swept out, blocking Gray's sword.

Boom!

The weapons collided, and Lord Lind took a few steps back before steadying himself.

Bang Bang Bang!

Gray, on the other hand, retreated sharply as if he could not withstand the power of Lord Linde's sword.

It's just that his backward pace is extremely neat, and it doesn't seem disordered at all.

And, after taking a few steps back, he slipped like a loach and slid out quickly.

In fact, he was using the power of the shock from his sword to close the distance between him and walk behind Lord Linde.

Swish!

Sure enough, the next moment, he appeared behind Lord Linde, and the ironwood sword in his hand slashed with black light, slashing at Lord Linde's back.

Boom!

Lord Linde, on the other hand, turned around quickly, swept out the ironwood sword in his hand, and stopped Gray's sword.

It's just that compared to before, the sword was a little hasty, the strength was a lot weaker, and the angle was a little worse because of the hasty shot, and he was shocked to retreat several big steps in a row.

Gray, on the other hand, used the force of the shock to speed up his movement and attack Lord Linde from the other side.

Bang, bang, bang!

In the middle of the field, Gray continued to rely on his speed, attacking Lord Linde from all angles, and Lord Linde was getting more and more difficult to resist.

Boom!

Resisting in a hurry again, Lord Linde was shocked to the point that his center of gravity was almost unstable, and it didn't take much, just one more sword, and he was afraid that he would be defeated.

However, at this moment, Gray took the initiative to distance himself from Lord Linde and stopped fighting.

This is Gray saving face for Lord Linde, after all, the other party is a person who has been a high-ranking blood warrior for many years, and if he is defeated by Gray, a person who has not been a high-ranking blood warrior for a long time, he will definitely lose face.

Lord Linde could naturally see Gray's intentions, and looking at such Gray, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Young Master Gray's strength is no worse than that of the old high-ranking blood warriors!"

He still remembered the scene when Gray first came to the castle last year, when the blood of the blood beast was snatched by Ellis and asked him for help.

At that time, the other party was not even an opponent of Ellis, but now, the strength of the other party has not only surpassed Ellis, but even he, a high-ranking blood warrior, has been surpassed.

With such a growth rate and such potential, as long as he doesn't fall halfway, it is inevitable to become a berserker, and he can't help but rejoice in his heart that his original decision was really right.

"Uncle Linde said with a smile, I still have a lot to learn!"

And Gray couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He hadn't even used the strength traits of the Cold Tiger, just the Wind Wolf's speed talent, and he had already defeated Lord Linde.

Once upon a time, Lord Lindh was so powerful in his eyes, and every time he left the castle, he would feel at ease with the protection of the other party, but now, he has surpassed the other party.

There is no doubt that his growth this year has been terrifying.

At night, a purple crescent moon hangs high over Fergus Castle, casting a purple haze over Fergus Castle.

Gray and Bernal, who had received the servant's notice, came to the door of Viscount Fergus's study, and they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.

At this point in time, they had already washed up and were ready to go to sleep, what was there that made Viscount Fergus summon them in such a hurry, could it be about the Shadow Serpent?

Knock knock!

"Father."

Knocking on the door of the study, Gray and Bernal shouted.

"Come in!"

In the study, Viscount Fergus's voice was immediately heard.

The two pushed the door and entered, and saw Viscount Fergus sitting in the study, at the tea table on the right side of the door.

However, at this time, in addition to Viscount Fergus, there was another person in the room.

This is a blonde young man, the young man is tall, athletic, and has well-proportioned facial features.

The most special thing is that he has a unique temperament on his body, which makes people involuntarily look at him.

Seeing this person, Gray and Bernal couldn't help but be slightly surprised in their hearts, and then shouted respectfully.

"Master Saroyan!"

This man was the eldest son of the Marquis of Sidney and the future heir of the House of Sidney, Saroyan. Sidney.

"Good evening, please be seated!"

Saloyan smiled and motioned for Gray and Bernal to sit down at the coffee table.

Gray and Bernal glanced at each other, walked over, and sat down at the tea table, already having a rough idea of what was going to happen next.

Seeing the two of them sit down, Saloyan looked at Gray among the two and said.

"Polly has already told me about the last assassination, my father and I were shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately Gray, you were the first to discover that group of assassins, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the Sidney family."

"Young Master Saroyan is polite, I just stumbled upon it."

Gray shook his head.

"It's an accident that I found out, but it's not an accident that I was able to stay calm and come up with a way to deal with it in that situation, and it's really thanks to you that Polly and Master Duru were safe."

Saroyan smiled.

"I heard from Polly that you like books about blood beasts very much, and there are quite a few of them in the Sidney family, so if you have time in the future, you might as well visit the Sidney family."

"Thank you, Young Master Saroyan."

Gray's eyes lit up and he thanked him.

The books about the Blood Beast were indeed what he wanted to read, and he did want to read them in the Sidney family.

However, the Sidney family is a marquis family, and he is only the illegitimate son of Viscount Fergus, so in terms of identity, if he is not accompanied by Viscount Fergus, he is not qualified to visit the Sidney family alone.

And Viscount Fergus, as the lord of a huge territory, naturally had all kinds of affairs to deal with, so it was naturally impossible for him to take him to the Sidney family in order for him to be able to borrow books.

Now that he has Saroyan's invitation, he can go to the Sidney family without the help of Viscount Fergus, which is undoubtedly a good thing for him.

"Young Master Saloyan, have you confirmed that the Shadow Serpent is lurking in Viscount Oliver when you come this time?"

Seeing that the conversation between Saroyan and Gray had come to an end, Viscount Fergus asked.

"It's confirmed, it's lurking in a village not far from Oliver's Castle."

Saroyan's fists clenched, and a chill shied in his eyes.

"Eating things inside and out, being divided by the Sidney family, enjoying all kinds of preferential treatment given by the Sidney family, but secretly colluding with the Shadow Serpent."

Viscount Fergus asked.

"Young Master Saloyan, do you need the Fergus family to participate in this encirclement and suppression of the Shadow Serpent?"

"Nope."

Saroyan shook his head.

"Early tomorrow morning, we will launch an encirclement and suppression of the Shadow Serpent, and when the time comes, the Oliver family will be handed over to the Fergus family, whether it is life or death."

"Yes, Master Saroyan."

Feeling the strong murderous aura of Saroyan, Viscount Fergus's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly responded.

Beside him, hearing the time set by Saroyan to encircle and suppress the Shadow Serpent, Gray was thoughtful.

The blood method cultivated by the Shadow Serpent can lurk in the shadows, and it also has night vision, and a sneak attack at night will be unfavorable to the Sidney family, so the Sidney family will set the time of the sneak attack during the day.

As for why it was morning, and not any other time, it was supposed to take advantage of the Shadow Serpent Assassin's morning vigilance when it was at its lowest.

After a while, Saloyan took his leave, and after the three Gray had sent him out of the castle, he returned to his study and began to discuss what he should do, and he was destined to sleep tonight.
