Outside, there were layers of guards. Inside the carriage, Vincent Smalley could not help but feel a chill.
"Father, will the Fergus family attack us on the way back?"
He looked at Count Smalley with unease.
At this moment, he was no longer as arrogant as before. His heart was filled with worry.
Two mad level blood fiends. The Fergus family actually had two mad level blood fiends!
If these two mad level blood fiends were to intercept them on the way back, even his father, who had the strength of a mad warrior, might not be able to escape.
After all, one of the two mad level blood fiends was the Windrider Leopard, which excelled in speed. As for himself, it would be even more difficult for him to escape.
"No, many families must already know that we are heading towards the Fergus family. If we were to be attacked on the way back, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to guess that the Fergus family was involved. The Fergus family would definitely not dare to do this."
Count Smalley shook his head and then frowned.
"But after this, we have to be careful."
The Fergus family actually had two mad level blood fiends. If he had known, he would definitely not have rashly gone to their house to denounce them.
Now that he had offended the Fergus family, he could not help but worry that the Fergus family would not retaliate against the Sidney family in the future. Even he did not have the confidence to contend against two mad level blood fiends.
"Father, what should we do?"
Vincent Smalley was anxious.
"After we return, immediately spread the news of today's incident."
Count Smalley rolled his eyes as he said this.
"Ah ~ ~ Won't the other noble families see our Smalley family as a joke?"
Winston Smalley was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"Father, are you planning to publicize the fact that the Fergus family has two mad level blood fiends and that the Fergus family and the Smalley family have become enemies? In this way, if something happens to the Smalley family, the other noble families will definitely link it to the Fergus family."
"Yes."
Count Smalley nodded.
Although the Smalley family would lose face by publicizing today's incident, it would also prevent the Fergus family from easily acting against them.
Between losing face and protecting the clan, it was obviously more important to protect the clan.
A few days later, under the deliberate dissemination of the Smalley Family, the news quickly spread.
"The Fergus family exterminated the Smalley family and enfeoffed them as nobles. The Smalley family came to question them, but were forced to retreat by the Fergus family."
"Gray Fergus's strength has already reached the level of a Ferocious Blood Warrior, and the Fergus family has two Berserk Blood Fiends."
…
The first reaction of the aristocratic families who received the news was disbelief.
The Fergus family was only a viscount family. How could they possibly gain an advantage over the Smalley family?
How old was Gray Fergus?
He was only 19 years old. How could he be a Ferocious Blood Warrior?
It was even more impossible for the Fergus family to have two mad level blood fiends.
A berserk level blood fiend was comparable to a berserk warrior. How could the Fergus family possibly get their hands on one?
Even the Smalley family and the Ford family did not have a berserk level blood fiend. The Fergus family was only a viscount family. How could they possibly have the ability to get their hands on a berserk level blood fiend?
However, when the news spread for a few days and the Smalley family did not come forward to refute it, the aristocratic families believed it.
It was impossible for the Smalley family to let news that was unfavorable to them continue to spread without stopping it.
In other words, the Smalley family had tacitly acknowledged the authenticity of the news.
For a moment, the aristocratic families were filled with shock.
The Fergus family had concealed their strength too deeply. They actually had two berserk level blood fiends!
Furthermore, Gray Fergus was a genius of the Fergus family. His talent was too terrifying. He was only 19 years old, but he was already a Ferocious Blood Warrior. How far would it be for him to become a berserk warrior?
If they were only slightly optimistic about the Fergus family during the battle for the position of count before this, they were absolutely optimistic now.
The two berserk level blood fiends represented that the Fergus family had a strong foundation.
For a genius descendant to become a Ferocious Blood Warrior at such a young age, it meant that the Fergus family had great potential.
Whether it was in terms of foundation or potential, the Fergus family was enough to throw the other viscount families by a large margin. Under such circumstances, the Fergus family's final victory in the battle for the position of count was almost inevitable.
In fact, it was not only the aristocratic families. Even the Sidney family, the supreme ruler of the entire Sidney Territory, could not help but be shocked by this news.
"The Fergus family actually has a berserk level blood fiend, and there are actually two of them …"
In the study of Sidney Castle, Zaloyan frowned.
After so many days, neither the Smalley family nor the Fergus family had come forward to refute the rumors. This meant that the news was credible.
However, he felt that it was full of abnormalities.
Were berserk level blood fiends so easy to obtain?
When blood fiends gave birth, they would usually be extremely cautious and hide. Therefore, even if one had the ability to kill a berserk level blood fiend, without the corresponding luck, one would not be able to obtain a berserk level blood fiend's offspring.
For example, the Smalley family and the Ford family had been count families for so many years, but because they did not have the corresponding luck, they had not been able to obtain a berserk level blood fiend.
And the Fergus family was only a viscount family. How could they have the ability to hunt a berserk level blood fiend?
Moreover, they were extremely lucky to obtain two berserk level blood fiends?
"Father, I feel that the Fergus family has a secret."
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Marquis Sidney and said.
Marquis Sidney had a head of golden hair. Although he was over fifty years old, he did not look too old because of his powerful strength.
"A viscount family actually has two berserk level blood fiends. The Fergus family definitely has a secret."
Hearing Zaloyan's words, he said with certainty, but then he changed the topic of discussion.
"But, so what?"
"Hmm?"
Zaloyan narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Father, what do you mean …?"
"Which family doesn't have a secret?"
Looking at Zaloyan, Marquis Sidney's eyes were deep and profound.
"Don't worry about what secrets the Fergus family has. You only need to know whether the Fergus family can be used by you. This is the mentality that a superior should have."
Speaking of this, Marquis Sidney paused slightly.
"After some time, you will attend the Fergus family's wedding on behalf of the Sidney family. Use your eyes to judge whether the Fergus family can be used by you …"
Very quickly, a month had passed.
In the Fergus family's training room that had been converted from a warehouse.
A three-meter-long wolf-type blood fiend with green fur all over its body roared at the sky, emitting a powerful and dignified aura.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the green-furred wolf-type blood fiend collapsed. Green light scattered like dandelion fluff, diffusing and disappearing in all directions.
In the green light, a person's figure appeared. It was Gray.
He was sweating profusely, as if he had been in a sauna. Panting heavily, he stood up, walked to a stand against the wall, took a towel, and wiped the sweat off his body.
"I've reached a bottleneck!"
Since a few days ago, his strength had stopped growing, and he was stuck at the point where he was just one step away from breaking through and becoming a Berserker.
Obviously, he had touched the bottleneck between a Ferocious Warrior and a Berserker, and was at the critical point between the two realms.
Once he broke through, he would immediately become a Berserker. As long as he didn't break through, he would remain a Ferocious Warrior.
"If only I had a few bottles of concentrated potion."
Concentrated potion, the essence of concentrated potion, had the effect of rapidly increasing one's strength. However, this method was too extravagant. The best way was to use it when breaking through a bottleneck.
For example, if Gray had a few bottles of concentrated potion, he would be able to break through his current bottleneck in a few days at most.
Unfortunately, such things couldn't be bought with money. Occasionally, they would appear in an auction house and immediately be snatched up.
As for the legendary magic potion shops that sold magic potions, such places didn't exist. At least, Gray hadn't heard of any place that had them.
Indeed, the magic potions in the hands of potion masters were never lacking in buyers. There was simply no need to set up a shop to sell them.
"I can only slowly endure it!"
Without concentrated potions, he could only break through the bottleneck through time and the method of dripping water penetrating stone.
Fortunately, he was in the middle of the second metamorphosis. Even if he broke through a bottleneck, the amount of time he needed was many times less than ordinary people.
Otherwise, if he were to be like some people who were stuck at a bottleneck for months or even years, it would simply be a kind of torture.
He left the training room, took a bath, and went to the hall.
One servant after another was busy walking back and forth.
The hall was decorated with a brand-new look. The originally dull dark yellow color had been replaced with a bright yellow color.
Apart from that, more and more gorgeous potted plants had been added, filling the entire hall with the fragrance of plants.
In a few days, it would be Bernal and Bernice Yvelines' wedding day. It could be said that Fergus Castle was at its busiest at this time.
However, it would always be the servants who were busy. As the class that enjoyed life, they would at most move their mouths.
In the garden, he found Sarah and the others sunbathing. He also saw Bernal, who looked a little nervous because the wedding day was approaching.
