Chapter 8 Getting Attention
When the two arrived at the restaurant, including Viscount Fergus, others had arrived.
When they saw Gray and Caroline walking with them, the eyes of the few were different.
Viscount Fergus showed relief. Gray was able to get along well with the rest of the family, and the people in the family could accept Gray, which was what he wanted to see.
Although he rarely cared about the affairs of the Gray brothers and sisters in the previous 16 years, he had to admit that in the more than two months after the Gray brothers and sisters came to the castle, perhaps out of compensation, he did give Gray brothers and sisters a lot of care.
Of course, all this is based on Gray's excellent blood warrior talent.
Sarah looked puzzled. She had never heard of her brother Gray when her relationship with Caroline's sister improved.
The Viscountess Milan and Grey's elder brother Bernard were first surprised, then smiled faintly, as if they were Viscount Fergus. They were also very pleased to see this scene and I don't know what I thought in my heart.
Gray's second brother Alice's eyes turned cold, but because Viscount Fergus was present, he asked in a slightly questioning tone.
"How could you come together?"
"We are all reading books in the library, so we came here together."
Caroline explained casually.
She did not deliberately distant from Gray's relationship, nor did she say it was friendly. This is her position in this family now.
"You were in the library this morning?"
Viscount Fergus showed a strong interest in Grey's trip to the library and asked Grey.
"Yes, father."
Gray explained.
"I felt that I had too little understanding of blood beasts and blood methods, so I went to the library to find some related books to read."
"Reading is a good habit, which can increase knowledge and insight."
Viscount Fergus nodded with satisfaction.
"When you have time, you can go and see more. Knowledge and insight are essential to the nobles."
"I will."
Grey agreed.
Even if Viscount Fergus didn't say it, he would do it like this. From the world of information explosion in his previous life, he naturally understood the importance of knowledge.
Hearing Viscount Fergus' words, Bernal, who was sitting opposite Grey, couldn't help but look a little gloomy in his eyes.
He could feel from the conversation between Viscount Fergus and Gray that Viscount Fergus was concerned about Gray. This kind of concern was even better than treating him.
Moreover, the last word "noble" touched his nerves greatly.
The titles of Purple Moon Kingdom, even the Flame Kingdom, the Scarlet Kingdom, the Gem Kingdom, and the Noble are not called casually. Even if the father is a nobleman, the children cannot be called a nobleman unless they are granted or inherited the title of nobleman.
Although Viscount Fergus was just an unintentional word, it revealed the image of letting Gray inherit the title, which made him feel a deep crisis.
Among the nobles, titles are generally inherited by the eldest son born to his wife. The illegitimate son has no right to inherit, but there are exceptions.
If the nobles apply to the kingdom and can be recognized by the kingdom, even if they are illegitimate sons, they can inherit the title. This happened several times in the history of the Purple Moon Kingdom, which made him feel alert.
Like him, Viscountess Milan also had a slightly gloomy face. Obviously, she thought of this layer and her face was not good, almost unable to maintain her usual elegance.
The lunch ended in a slightly dull atmosphere. As Grey put down his knife and silver fork, Viscount Fergus coughed lightly.
"There is a group of thieves roaming around the southwest border of the territory. I will leave the castle tomorrow to wipe out."
"Master, is the situation serious?"
Hearing this, Viscountess Milan frowned deeply, and the other people's faces could not help but worry, even Gray was no exception at this time.
He now relies on the Fergus family for his meals. If the interests of the Fergus family are lost, he will also be affected.
Most of the expenses of the nobles come from the taxes of the territory. For the nobles, the territory is the foundation of everything.
If the thief's destruction is too serious, the territory is too great, and the tax returns are reduced, his current luxurious life will inevitably shrink seriously.
Although he had not been in this world for a long time, he had become obsessed with this luxurious life of living in a huge castle and served by dozens of people.
Moreover, the benefits of the blood wolf blood once a month are obvious. Just one cup has improved his strength a lot. This kind of thing is obviously valuable and requires a lot of money to buy it. If the territory is seriously damaged, this supply may be interrupted.
"According to the information obtained, the strength of these thieves is not very strong, but there is no fixed gathering place and it is often transferred."
Viscount Fergus waved his hand.
"fine."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there are few powerful blood warriors among the wandering thieves, powerful blood warriors can usually easily find a good job, but it is not absolute.
Occasionally, some powerful blood warriors wanted by the kingdom for making mistakes will join the robber group. Moreover, some nobles will also train some robbers to achieve the purpose of quickly making money and attacking hostile families.
"So don't worry, it's not too serious."
Viscount Fergus concludes.
"Father, can you bring me?"
Just as everyone was relieved, Bernal spoke with a look of his eyes.
Viscount Fergus looked at Burnard unexpectedly, with relief in his eyes, and was obviously satisfied with Burnard's behavior, but after a little consideration, he shook his head and said.
"This time it will take a long time, and it does not have much value for experience. Next time, if there is a suitable opportunity, I will bring you. I look forward to the opportunity of our father and son on the battlefield together."
"Yes, father."
Bernal had a slight regret on his face, but he was quite happy in his heart. Anyone could tell that his performance just now gave him a lot of points in Viscount Fergus's heart.
On the morning of the next day, under the farewell of Gray and his group, Viscount Fergus, wearing golden battle suits, blonde hair and a faint majestic aura, rode a war horse with blood-colored hair all over his body, and led more than 300 warriors riding war horses and armor to leave the castle in a mighty manner.
Behind him, a little behind him, there were two middle-aged people.
One of the middle-aged people was wearing brown combat suits, burly, square face, and obvious evil spirits on his face. He was Baron Gardner Kiplin, who was granted ten years ago by the Fergus family, and had the strength of a superior blood warrior.
Another middle-aged man was wearing beige battle suit, with a medium figure, a whisker on his chin, and a slightly stereotypical face.
He comes from the Ricardo family, the Baron family, which was enfeoffed by the Fergus family 50 years ago. He is the Baron Gebert Ricardo of the Ricardo family, and also has the strength of a superior blood warrior.
Behind the two, there were seven men in black battle suits, all of whom were lords.
The two barons, seven lords, and the Lord Lind Niason who was in charge of the remains in the castle, were all the nobles enfeoffed in the Fergus family territory.
Generally speaking, the viscount can confer three barons, ten lords, and the earl can confer three viscounts, ten lords, and further up, the marquis and dukes also follow this order and so on.
Because these thieves were wandering around and needed to divide their troops into several ways to search, Viscount Fergus summoned all the nobles and soldiers in the territory.
"The nobles in this world have such great power. They can not only enfeoff the nobles of the lower level, but also openly own the army."
Looking at Viscount Fergus and his group riding a war horse, Gray was excited and couldn't help but feel a little desire to become a noble.
In his opinion, the nobles in this world are simply the local emperors who occupy the land as king.
Not only do they have the right to territorial autonomy, the right to divide and remove territorial nobles and officials, they can also openly recruit and train troops, and there is no limit on the number.
Of course, considering the ability to support the territory, the army that every noble can afford is bound to be limited, and even so, it is already extremely powerful.
In fact, it was not just Gray, even Bernal and Ellis couldn't help but their eyes were hot when they saw such a scene. The feeling of commanding a cavalry of more than 300 people obviously made the two yearn for a yearning for it.
Until the team disappeared from sight, the castle returned to the castle.
Gray went to the place where few people came from the castle he had found before and prepared to start today's practice.
Although his cultivation progress is gratifying, he should be able to become a lower blood warrior again in one month, but he still hopes that this time will be faster, so he never slacked off in his daily cultivation.
Soon after he left, Elis looked at the male servant following behind with a slightly gloomy face.
"Do you know where that guy is practicing now?"
The male servant who followed him was a man in his twenties with a little freckle on his face and a shrewd look in his eyes. He heard his inquiry and quickly said.
"I've asked, near the remote house south of the castle."
"Hmph, lead the way, I want to see what he is doing."
Ellis snorted coldly, followed the male servant and walked towards the remote house where Grey usually practiced.
