The next morning, the carriage left Fergus Castle and headed towards the Yvelines Family. Other than Bernal and Gray, Sarah and Caroline were also in the carriage.
Caroline wanted to borrow books from the Yvelines Family.
Sarah heard that Gray was going to represent the Yvelines Family in the battle and immediately requested to go with him.
Elise didn't go. She probably knew that Gray didn't have a good impression of her, so she would try her best to avoid wherever Gray appeared.
In the afternoon, the carriage stopped at the Yvelines Family.
"Gray, sorry to trouble you this time."
In the living room, Baron Yvelines Derek Yvelines, a middle-aged man with brown hair, thanked Gray.
As someone who was favored by Viscount Fergus and had a chance to be enfeoffed by the Marquis family, Baron Yvelines had the strength of a ferocious blood warrior.
However, in front of Gray, he didn't dare to be arrogant.
According to the rumors, Gray was only an "upper-level blood warrior" and was one level lower than him. However, with Gray's potential, he would definitely surpass him.
"Uncle Derek, you're too polite. The Fergus family and the Yvelines Family are already connected by marriage. We're already a family. If the Yvelines Family needs help, it's only right for me to help."
Gray said politely.
"Yeah, Uncle Derek, you're too polite."
Bernal added.
Right now, a young woman with brown hair was sitting next to him. She was wearing a white lace dress. She had a pretty face and a tall figure. She was his fiancée, Bernice Yvelines.
"Haha, okay, I won't be polite with you. I'll remember your gratitude in my heart."
Baron Yvelines had a smile on his face. He was even more satisfied with the marriage with the Fergus family.
Originally, his ideal marriage partner was the heir of a noble family, but with the Fergus family's situation, Bernal had no chance of inheriting the title.
However, in the end, he still agreed to the Fergus family's marriage. The reason was the potential that the Fergus family had shown because of Gray.
With Gray around, the Fergus family was likely to become a count's family in the future. Even if Bernal wasn't the heir to the title, his status wouldn't be low in the future.
Most importantly, if the Fergus family became an earl, the Yvelines family's path to becoming a viscount would be much smoother.
"By the way, I wonder who my opponent is this time …?"
Gray asked.
Since he was going to represent the Yvelines Family, he naturally needed to understand his opponent. This was especially so for a battle between Blood Warriors. Blood Warriors who practiced different Blood Spells had completely different strengths.
Logically speaking, with his current strength, no matter what kind of Blood Spell his opponent practiced, they shouldn't be his opponent. However, in order to not be arrogant, he still decided to understand his opponent's information.
"This time, the one fighting with the Yvelines Family for the iron mine is the Mackinto Family. With the family's situation, the most likely person to fight is Jeffrey Mackinto, a middle-level Blood Warrior."
A man in his early twenties, slightly younger than Bernal, answered.
He was Noah Yvelines, the next heir of the Yvelines Family.
"Middle-level Blood Warrior?"
Gray didn't ask any more questions. Although it was good to be cautious, it was also necessary to have an appropriate amount of confidence. If he didn't even have the confidence to deal with a middle-level Blood Warrior, then he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
Two days later, in an empty space near the iron mine, two families that were preparing to fight for the ownership of the iron mine met.
"Hmph, they really managed to invite him."
In the direction of the Mackinto Family, Baron Mackinto looked at Gray, who appeared in the Yvelines Family's team, and couldn't help but snort coldly. A trace of a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Dennis, the opponent is Gray Fergus. I'll have to trouble you this time."
He naturally knew about the relationship between the Yvelines Family and the Fergus family. Even so, he still agreed to the "battle" because he was already prepared.
"Uncle Doug, don't worry."
A man with a high nose nodded. He looked in the direction of Gray. There wasn't a trace of fear in his expression. Instead, he was eager to fight.
"It's Dennis Corney. Damn it, why is he here?"
After seeing the man with a high nose who appeared in the Mackinto Family's team, Baron Yvelines's expression became very ugly.
He walked in front of Baron Mackinto with a gloomy expression.
"Baron Mackinto, are you trying to tell me that Dennis Corney will represent the Mackinto Family in the battle?"
"I'm indeed going to let Dennis participate in the battle. What? You're allowed to invite Gray Fergus, but I'm not allowed to invite Dennis?"
Baron Mackinto sneered.
"Don't forget that there's a rule in the battle. The person invited must be related to the family."
Baron Yvelines said coldly.
"Of course I know this. Unfortunately, the Mackinto Family and the Corney Family are already in-laws."
Baron Mackinto smiled proudly and looked at the man with a high nose, Dennis Corney. The latter understood and stepped forward.
"Gray Fergus, I've always wanted to compete with a 'genius' like you. Finally, I have the chance. Please!"
Dennis Corney extended his hand and gestured to Gray. The man with a high nose, Dennis Corney, walked towards the grass field not far away.
"Dennis Corney?"
Gray's face showed a trace of surprise.
In the past few months, he had attended many banquets with Viscount Fergus, so he had some understanding of the noble families in the Sidney Marquis Territory.
Dennis Corney, the leader of this generation of the Baron Corney Family. He was 28 years old and had the strength of an upper-level Blood Warrior. He didn't expect the Mackinto Family to become in-laws with this family in order to fight against the Yvelines Family.
Although he was a little surprised, it was just a more powerful opponent. He didn't care and walked straight over.
"His opponent is actually Dennis Corney. Will Gray …?"
Noah Yvelines showed a worried expression. Bernice also showed a worried expression.
Although they were both upper-level Blood Warriors, Dennis Corney obviously became an upper-level Blood Warrior earlier than Gray, and he should have more combat experience.
They couldn't help but worry. After all, an iron mine was a huge source of income for a Baron like the Yvelines Family.
"My brother won't lose."
Hearing Noah Yvelines' doubtful words, Sarah raised her eyebrows and said with slight dissatisfaction.
She knew that Gray was now a Murderous Blood Warrior. How could he lose to an upper-level Blood Warrior?
"Don't worry, Gray won't lose."
Bernal showed a reassuring smile to Bernice and assured her.
The Fergus family didn't intend to reveal that Gray was a Murderous Blood Warrior, so he could only comfort her like this.
While they were talking, Gray and Dennis Corney were already fighting not far away.
Clang!
Dennis Corney unsheathed the weapon at his waist. It was a long and narrow sword with a green color. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be a magic weapon.
Fighting for the iron mine was a battle of great benefits, so it was necessary to prepare the best weapon.
In fact, the Yvelines Family had asked Gray if he needed help preparing a magic weapon. Although they didn't have a suitable one, they could borrow one for Gray, but Gray refused.
Whoosh!
Holding the green magic weapon, Dennis Corney rushed toward Gray and slashed down with his sword.
Under the green sword light, the surrounding weeds were blown toward Gray as if they were hit by a gust of wind.
Swish!
The green sword light slashed where Gray was, but it didn't cut anything except the weeds. Before that, Gray had already stepped out and left the place.
Whoosh!
Gray appeared beside Dennis Corney, and the blue and white magic sword turned into a flash of lightning and slashed toward him.
But at this moment, Dennis Corney suddenly turned his head and looked in this direction. He turned around and met the attack with his sword.
Dennis Corney naturally knew that the Fergus family's Blood Magic was good at speed, so he was already on guard when Gray dodged the attack and appeared beside him.
Clang!
Dennis Corney blocked the attack, but before he could take the opportunity to counterattack, he found that Gray had already disappeared and reappeared on the other side.
Clang, Clang, Clang!
Gray's sword continued to slash from all directions. Denis Corney's initial calmness slowly turned into a difficult situation.
Facing Gray's surprise attacks from all directions, although Dennis Corney blocked them, he couldn't help but be affected.
The effect was very small and could be adjusted with a little time, but Gray's continuous attacks didn't give him any time to adjust. Instead, the effect accumulated.
Boom!
Finally, the effect accumulated to a certain extent, and Dennis Corney could no longer block Gray's sword. He was directly knocked back by Gray's sword, and his body lost its balance.
Gray smirked and chased after his opponent, who was knocked back and lost his balance.
This fighting style was the result of his training in the Red Leaf Forest. He had comprehended it while fighting with the Windchaser Leopard.
Puchi!
Seeing Gray chasing after him like a gust of wind, Dennis Corney gritted his teeth. He suddenly stabbed the sword in his hand into the ground, and then poured the power of blood into the sword.
The long sword emitted a green light, and the surrounding weeds suddenly seemed to come alive. They grew one after another and attacked Gray.
"You can't use the attributes of a magic weapon!"
Gray's smile widened, and the magic sword in his hand was suddenly surrounded by lightning.
Crackle!
Terrifying lightning exploded, and the weeds that rushed toward Gray turned black and withered in an instant.
"Not good!"
Dennis Corney's expression changed drastically. He wanted to pull out his weapon and retreat, but cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.
