They stayed in Fergus Castle for a day. On the second day, Marnell Sidney, Marnan Sidney, and the Hellhound Mercenaries left to search.
It was already spring, and the warm sun shone down from the sky.
In the undamaged garden of Fergus Castle, the young people of the Fergus family, Twain Ford, and Hazel Ford were sunbathing in the garden.
"I haven't sunbathed like this for a long time. When I was hiding, I stayed in the secret room and didn't even dare to sunbathe."
Bernal had a head of blond hair. Because of his marriage, he had a mature temperament.
"It's about the same."
Twain Ford, who had an ordinary face but a unique temperament, could not help but smile bitterly when he heard Bernal's words.
"I don't know if we can successfully find Rob Tracy this time …"
Speaking of Rob Tracy, a lingering fear flashed across his face.
Ford Castle had also been attacked by Rob Tracy. Fortunately, he was not in the castle at that time and had hidden. Otherwise, he would have been dead by now.
"It should be possible. I saw the Hellhound Mercenaries' searching ability yesterday. They are indeed very strong."
Bernal said.
"But Rob Tracy is not an ordinary person. He is the leader of an assassin organization and has the strength of a Barbaric Blood Warrior. From the fact that he could avoid the search of Sidney, we can see that he is very good at hiding his whereabouts."
Hazel said with her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
She was wearing a white sweater, and her figure was curvaceous. However, there was a trace of haggardness on her face. She had been in hiding for more than a month, and she had been anxious.
"We can't be too optimistic."
Caroline, who was wearing a purple dress and had a curvaceous figure, said.
"Gray, what do you think?"
She looked at Gray.
"It's hard to say. The Hellhound Mercenaries are indeed very good at tracking, but Rob Tracy is not simple either."
Gray shook his head. Neither side was simple, and he had no way to judge.
"Let's not talk about whether we can find it for the time being. If we can find it, Gray, how likely do you think Sir Marnell will be to keep Rob Tracy?"
Bernal asked.
"Probably seventy percent."
Gray thought for a moment and replied.
"There is only a 70% chance that Sir Marner and Sir Ma Nan will join forces?"
Hazel's eyes widened as she looked at Gray. The others also looked at Gray with puzzled expressions.
The blood technique that Rob Tracy cultivated could only be considered average in terms of combat power.
Both Marner Sidney and Marnan Sidney cultivated special blood arts. Logically speaking, if the two of them worked together, there should be no chance of failure.
"Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible to escape, even if Rob Tracy had a magical weapon that could control the Barbarian Level Blood Fiends."
Gray explained.
"But Rob Tracy is now attached to the Wallen family. With the Wallen family's background, they would definitely have some magical weapons that could save his life, and they would most likely lend them to him temporarily."
"The Wallen family …"
At the mention of the Wallen family, everyone could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Rob Tracy was not alone. He had the Wallen family behind him. As one of the Marquis family, the Wallen family's background was needless to say. It was entirely possible that they would have some magical weapons that could save his life.
…
A few days later, there was news.
The Hellhound Mercenaries had successfully found Rob Tracy in a forest near a city.
Marner Sidney and Marnan Sidney attacked Rob Tracy and severely injured Rob Tracy.
However, Rob Tracy took out a magical weapon with a speed ability, exploded with terrifying speed, and successfully escaped.
"They actually failed to kill him on the spot!"
In the study of Fergus Castle, Bernal, who had heard the news, was astonished. He then looked at Gray.
"You're right!"
"Since then, Rob Tracy has obviously become a lot more cautious. He even created some fake clues to mislead the Hellhound Mercenaries. The subsequent few attempts to track him down have failed."
"Sir Marner and Sir Marnan have already split into two groups to track Rob Tracy."
At this point, Earl Fergus looked at Gray.
"Rob Tracy no longer has any barbarian level blood fiends, and he is seriously injured. Any barbarian blood warrior is enough to deal with him. Sir Marner wants the Fergus family to bring along the iron-armed barbarian ape to participate in the hunt."
"But what about the safety of the castle?"
Gray said with a worried look.
"That's right, Father. If the iron-armed barbarian ape is taken away, won't the castle become unsafe?"
Bernal also looked worried.
"You don't have to worry about the safety of the castle. Rob Tracy is currently very far from Fergus Castle. Furthermore, he is being chased by Sir Marner and Sir Marner. He has no energy to attack Fergus Castle."
Earl Fergus shook his head.
"On the other hand, the Fergus family has been targeted by Rob Tracy. If he escapes this time, the Fergus family will be in danger in the future."
"I understand. I'll rush over now."
Gray nodded solemnly.
After driving away the iron-armed barbarian ape, Gray hurried on his way. It took him two days to arrive at the rendezvous point with a team of Hellhound Mercenaries.
"Young Master Gray!"
The leader of this team of Hellhound Mercenaries was a beautiful woman with wheat-colored skin. She was the leader of the Hellhound Mercenaries, O 'Laura Garcia.
"Leader O 'Laura, sorry to bother you for a while."
Gray smiled.
"Young Master Gray is too polite."
O 'Laura Garcia smiled.
She didn't have any intention of looking down on the noble young man in front of her. This was because she had already heard from the Red Wing that the young man in front of her was a genuine Berserker.
Moreover, he had once killed the leader of the Mantis Mercenary Group, a Berserker, in the Mercenary City Arena.
Even among Berserkers, the other party's strength was quite strong.
The two sides met and the team set off. The iron-armed barbarian ape was controlled by Gray and followed far behind the team to avoid alerting Rob Tracy in advance due to the large movement.
A few days later, they found traces of a bonfire in a mountainous area.
O 'Laura Garcia judged after careful observation.
"Rob Tracy should have stopped here!"
"Leader O 'Laura, how did you determine that this was the place where Rob Tracy had stopped and not left behind by someone else?"
Gray asked curiously.
Along the way, Gray had been asking O 'Laura Garcia for guidance on searching techniques. Seeing that O' Laura Garcia was actually able to determine that Rob Tracy had stopped here and not someone else, he couldn't help but be curious.
"The surroundings of this bonfire are filled with sand and stones. After staying here, there would definitely be traces left behind. However, there are no traces here. Clearly, the other party was very cautious and removed the traces.
"When he left, he erased all traces of himself. This means that he was trying to avoid being tracked down. At present, the only person who would do such a thing is Rob Tracy. Thus, I'm certain that this is a place where Rob Tracy once stayed."
O 'Laura Garcia said with a smile.
"Rob Tracy was too cautious, and because of that, he exposed himself."
Gray came to a sudden realization. He couldn't help but have a higher opinion of the leader of the Hellhound Mercenaries.
Rob Tracy had been afraid of being tracked, so he had removed his traces. This had instead become evidence that the other party had stayed here.
Rob Tracy's method of concealing his tracks could be said to be brilliant, but the leader of the Hellhound Mercenaries was even more brilliant than him.
The group continued their pursuit.
A day later, they found traces of Rob Tracy beside a natural lake. This proved that their pursuit was correct.
"Although he used a scent concealing potion, I can still smell some traces of his scent. It seems that he left not too long ago, not more than a day ago."
O 'Laura Garcia judged after leading the group to investigate the surroundings for a moment.
Judging that Rob Tracy had left not more than a day ago, the group's spirits were lifted and they continued their pursuit.
After entering a forest and traversing several lush mountains, they stopped.
"Leader, the scent is scattered here. It's split into five areas!"
A young man frowned and said.
"The other two groups have each chosen a route and are chasing after him."
O 'Laura Garcia squatted down and carefully examined the remaining three routes. She followed the routes for some distance and finally chose this one.
"Let's follow this route and follow it!"
She chose a route with sparse vegetation.
"Leader, why did you choose this route?"
The mercenary from before asked.
"As for the other two routes, the vegetation is too lush, making it inconvenient for injured people to travel. On the other hand, a frightened wild beast would choose such a dense forest in a panicked situation. Therefore, I believe that among the three routes, it is very likely that the other party has chosen this route."
O 'Laura Garcia explained.
The group continued their pursuit. After half a day, they stopped again.
"Leader, the scent is scattered again!"
The scent in front of them had once again split into three.
"Looks like we're following the right direction."
O 'Laura Garcia nodded.
Since the scent was scattered again, it meant that the one passing through this route was definitely Rob Tracy.
Using the same method, they determined Rob Tracy's most likely route and continued their pursuit.
Half a day later, they saw a figure moving through the forest in the distance.
It was a figure dressed in black. He had a medium build and a slightly bent back. If they were not mistaken, he should be an old man.
"Rob Tracy."
Gray's eyes had a cold glint.
Even though the distance was rather far and he could only see the back of the figure, he could tell at a glance that the person in the distance was undoubtedly Rob Tracy.
He had already met Rob Tracy twice, so he had a good understanding of Rob Tracy.
More importantly, the other party had appeared on the route they had investigated.
