With doubts in his heart, Gray walked to the door of the Golden Jade Hall and gently knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Viscount Fergus' voice sounded from inside. Gray pushed the door open and entered. Other than the Fergus family, there were two other people in the living room.
One of them was a young man in formal attire. His appearance was extremely ordinary. If he were to wear a set of commoner's clothes and be thrown into a crowd of commoners, he would definitely be no different from a commoner.
The other person was a young lady. Unlike the young man, the young lady had a beautiful oval face and fair skin. She wore a light blue slim-fit dress that showed off her slender figure.
"This is my third son, Gray."
Viscount Fergus introduced the two parties.
"Gray, this is Young Master Twain and Miss Hazel from the Ford family."
"Greetings, Young Master Twain and Miss Hazel."
Gray greeted the two of them.
He had seen the two of them at Sidney Castle. He had long known of Twain Ford's name. As the leading figure of the next generation of the Ford family, Bernal had introduced him.
As for the young lady, he was not too sure. She seemed to be one of Earl Ford's daughters.
"Hello, nice to meet you!"
Twain and Hazel both stood up and greeted Gray politely.
Twain looked at Gray with a trace of caution and politeness, while Hazel looked at Gray with a trace of curiosity and suspicion.
"Young Master Twain and Miss Hazel are here to deliver the invitation to the auction!"
Viscount Fergus gestured for Gray to sit down. Then, he got the servant beside him to pass an opened invitation to Gray.
Gray reached out to open it. At the front were some polite invitations, and at the back were a list of some valuable items that would appear in the auction.
Gray browsed through them one by one. There were rune items, all kinds of jewelry, and even magical items.
As an earl's family, the Ford family had a good relationship with a master refiner. Hence, they could get magical weapons from time to time. For example, the iron rhino inner armor that Gray was wearing now was obtained through this method.
Gray browsed through them one by one. However, he was not very interested in most of them. But when he browsed to the last item, he could not help but be slightly delighted.
"Magical sword?"
To a Blood Warrior, a good weapon could often unleash greater combat power. The battle with the Steel-armed Ape previously also proved that he indeed needed a better weapon.
He did not expect a sword-type magical weapon to appear in the Ford auction. Although similar auctions had been held a few times this year, this was the first time this year.... of this kind of sword-type magical weapon......
As for whether or not he had the ability to bid for it, Gray wasn't worried at all. The Fergus family had plenty of funds right now.
This time, the Fergus family had earned 1.1 million gold coins. Taking out a small fraction was enough to buy it.
To be able to obtain that batch of Era of the Empire gold coins, his contribution could be said to be great. He did not believe that Viscount Fergus would not be willing to pay this small amount of money.
"This is a weapon refined by Master Roland. It is a magical weapon with the lightning attribute. After it is activated, the sword will have lightning damage."
Seeing that Gray was interested, Twain smiled and said.
"Lightning attribute?"
Gray's eyes could not help but brighten. The effect of lightning was not only reflected in the damage.
A weapon with the lightning attribute could not only cause damage to the enemy after hitting it, but could also paralyze the enemy and slow their movements.
To a certain extent, apart from possessing the lightning attribute, this magic weapon also had another hidden attribute that could cause the opponent to fall into a state of paralysis. In terms of value, it should be even more valuable than Viscount Fergus' magic sword.
At this moment, Gray felt someone tugging at his clothes. He turned his head and saw Sarah, who was wearing a white dress, looking at the invitation in his hand with great interest.
Beside her, a huge tiger with white fur was lying there quietly.
"Brother, I want to see!"
Seeing Gray look over, she immediately giggled.
"Here you go."
Looking at her expression, Gray could guess that she was very interested in this auction. Looking at her in amusement, Gray handed the invitation to her.
"Viscount, could this be the Hanhu from back then?"
Twain looked at the Hanhu lying beside Sarah and asked.
Back then, the Rock family and the Fergus family were fighting over the Hanhu cub. The Ford family had also heard of it.
"Indeed, this is the Hanhu from back then!"
Viscount Fergus nodded.
"Congratulations, Viscount. At most, in a year, this Hanhu should be able to reach adulthood."
Twain said after carefully sizing it up.
For the Viscount's family, it was very difficult to obtain a blood fiend cub. But for the Ford family, which had the Berserker Warriors, although it was similarly difficult, it was not impossible.
In fact, Twain himself had obtained a blood fiend cub during his coming-of-age ceremony, so he had a lot of say about blood fiends.
"Thank you."
Viscount Fergus smiled.
After having lunch with the Fergus family, the two from the Ford family took their leave.
Tang En and Hazel were seated in a carriage that was pulled by two strong horses. On both sides of the carriage, there was a picture of a lion wrapped in flames.
"Second Brother, you're too polite to the Fergus family."
Hazel looked at her second brother, Twain, in confusion.
She knew what kind of personality her second brother had. He seemed to have no arrogance, but in reality, he was extremely arrogant.
When facing people or families that he looked down on, he would be indifferent and distant. But this time, she could clearly feel that her second brother was being polite to the Fergus family.
This made her feel strange. What exactly was it about the Fergus family that made her second brother treat them differently?
"Why? Are you still complaining that Father made you come with me to deliver the invitation?"
Twain did not answer. He smiled and teased her.
"Hmph, I really don't know what Father is thinking."
Hazel said unhappily.
Her lips were slightly pouted, but it did not affect her image at all. Instead, it gave her a unique personality.
She had some opinions about her father making her and her second brother come personally to deliver the invitation.
As direct descendants of the Ford family, although they did not have a noble title, their status was extremely high. Usually, only the Smalley family and the Sidney family were worthy of them coming personally to deliver the invitation.
Under normal circumstances, the Viscount family would only send a steward to deliver the invitation. But this time, her father had uncharacteristically ordered the two of them to come personally. This made her very puzzled.
"Alright, don't be angry. Father naturally has his reasons for doing this."
Twain said with a smile.
"What reasons?"
Hazel looked curiously at her second brother, the future successor of the Ford family, Twain.
"This …"
Twain was a little hesitant. Since his father did not tell Hazel, it was naturally because he did not want her to know.
"If you don't tell me, I'll ignore you in the future!"
Hazel tilted her head to the side and pretended to be angry.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. But don't tell anyone else about this."
Twain had no choice but to "surrender".
"In fact, that Gray Fergus is already an upper-level Blood Warrior. If nothing goes wrong, the Fergus family should win the battle for the title of Earl."
"Upper-Level Blood Warrior? How is that possible?
Isn't he only seventeen this year?
Could Father have made a mistake? "
Hazel looked at her second brother, Twain, in shock.
"There shouldn't be a mistake. Because Young Master Zaloyan told Father personally."
Twain said with certainty.
"You also know what a seventeen-year-old upper-level Blood Warrior means. As long as he doesn't fall midway, he will definitely become a Berserker in the future. He might even become a Barbarian Blood Warrior. If it really comes to that, the Ford family will have to ask him for help."
