"Warner Nahum?"
Gray raised his eyebrows.
Over the past six months, he had met Warner Nahum several times at gatherings, and every time they met, the other party would give him the cold shoulder.
However, other than the cold shoulder, the other party did not do anything provocative. He had a sense of propriety, and even if Gray wanted to take the opportunity to make a move against him, he had no chance.
Obviously, the other party knew that he was no match for Gray, and had been enduring silently. Even the sword that Gray had snatched away, the other party did not make a sound to ask for it from Gray.
"The war is over, and I'm afraid it won't be long before the Nahum family makes a move on me …"
Gray naturally would not be so naive to think that the Nahum family would let the matter rest just because of Sophia.
The Nahum family would not let the matter rest just like that. On the one hand, they had been utterly humiliated the last time, and on the other hand, it was probably because of the "magical weapon" that he had exchanged with the mysterious silver metal ore.
Of the various abilities that he had displayed on the battlefield, many of them would certainly be linked by the Nahum family to the magical weapon that he had exchanged with the silver metal ore, and they would probably be even more determined to get their hands on this magical weapon.
"Hmph, I'd like to see what the Nahum family can come up with. Even the battlefield couldn't kill me, so how can the Nahum family kill me?"
Snorting coldly in his heart, Gray shifted his gaze away, too lazy to pay attention to the other party. He could not make a move on him at the banquet just because the other party was staring at him unkindly, so he could only let it be.
After the banquet ended, Gray, who was about to leave, was stopped by Sophia, who brought him to a living room.
There were already two people in the living room. One of them was a handsome young man, and the other was a beautiful woman with a graceful figure. He knew both of them, so he called out.
"Your Highness Francis, Your Highness Hillya!"
"Gray, sit!"
Francis Violet was handsome and amiable. He smiled and gestured for Gray to sit down.
Gray didn't need to be reserved. He had seen the two of them several times at gatherings, so he sat down on the chair next to them.
However, he was rather curious as to why the two of them were looking for him. At first, he thought that it was Sophia who was looking for him, but now it seemed that was not the case.
"Gray, you really gave us a big scare this time. Not only did you kill Curtis Inferno, you even killed Tesi Jeffery and a Desolate Blood warrior from the Flame Kingdom. You alone killed three Desolates."
Francis Violet's voice was filled with amazement.
Although Tesi Jeffery had yet to reach the Desolated Level, his combat power was also at the Desolated Level with the help of his Mana Weapon. Therefore, the Purple Moon Kingdom also treated him as a Desolated Level combatant.
"I was just lucky. Besides, this time, if it weren't for Your Highness Sophia, I would have died on the battlefield!"
Gray said with a wry smile.
"This isn't luck. If it was, why couldn't any of us kill a Desolated Level, but you killed three?"
Hillya Violet smiled and said with a smile on her face.
Her breasts were high, and her figure was curvy. At this time, she was wearing a close-fitting long dress, which revealed her perfect figure.
"Don't you think so?
Sophia? "
"Indeed, it wasn't luck."
Sophia also said with a teasing tone.
Her fair skin and gorgeous purple hair complemented each other. At this time, her face was playful, exuding a different kind of beauty than usual.
"However, I'm sorry to tell you that you've been targeted by the Flame Kingdom. I believe that after today, you will definitely be one of the people that the Flame Kingdom wants to kill the most!"
"Doesn't that mean that I won't be able to step into the Flame Kingdom in this life?
I originally wanted to go to the Flame Kingdom for a vacation. "
The atmosphere was quite relaxed, and Gray was also relaxed and joking.
"You still want to go to the Flame Kingdom for a vacation? Dream on. I bet that once you step into the Flame Kingdom's territory, there will immediately be King-class experts coming to kill you!"
Su Feiya rolled her eyes and said.
"Indeed, you won't be able to go to the Flame Kingdom in this life. The other two kingdoms, the Scarlet Kingdom and the Jewel Kingdom, have a close relationship with the Purple Moon Kingdom, so you can go there."
Francis Violet laughed and replied, "Don't worry about it.
They chatted for a while, and Francis Violet's expression became slightly solemn.
"Gray, thank you for eliminating three great enemies for the Purple Moon Kingdom. I express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Purple Moon Kingdom."
"Your Highness Francis is too polite."
Gray responded with a straight face.
"You killed three desolate-level experts this time and accumulated a lot of military merits. After the three of us discussed, we decided to apply for a noble title from the Royal Family."
"Noble title …?"
Grimm was shocked and looked at Francis Violet in surprise. He almost thought that he had heard wrong. He never thought that they would use military merits to apply for a noble title for him.
The noble title that Francis mentioned was definitely not a noble title, but a kingdom noble title.
Although he knew that the Purple Moon Kingdom would not treat him badly for killing three desolate-level experts, he did not expect that they would decide to give him a noble title as a reward.
"But I'm a descendant of a noble title, and the Sidney family …"
Gray raised his eyebrows slightly.
There was no need to debate whether a noble title was good or not. It was definitely several times better than a noble title. Not to mention other things, just the scope of the noble title's application in the entire Purple Moon Kingdom was enough to make many people scramble for it.
With this identity, he would be able to enjoy a lot of preferential treatment in the entire Purple Moon Kingdom.
However, his current identity was a descendant of a noble title. If he accepted the royal title, he would have to leave the Sidney family. This was no different in nature from the Smalley family defecting from the Sidney family.
"Don't worry about the Sidney family. I've already talked to Saroyan, and they have agreed."
Francis Violet waved his hand slightly and said.
"And it's not to let the Fergus family leave the Sidney family. It's just to let you leave alone. The kingdom's noble title will be inherited by your bloodline, and the Fergus family's noble title can be inherited by your eldest brother's bloodline."
"This …"
Gray was a little hesitant. In fact, he didn't care too much about the title. He didn't want to be distracted by it. He even had the idea of letting Bernal inherit the title when Bernal's strength reached the level of a berserker.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highnesses, but I don't want to spend too much energy on the governance of the territory. I want to focus on my cultivation more."
After thinking about it, he decided to refuse.
"Let us finish first. Don't rush to make a decision."
Francis Violet shook his head.
"Focus on your cultivation. The three of us agree. If you are distracted by your cultivation because of the territory, it will be a great loss for the Purple Moon Kingdom."
"The royal family has already considered this situation. They have specially set up schools to train many talents in governance. I can make the decision to assign a few to your territory and let them govern it for you. You only need to go to the territory once a year to collect taxes."
Gray was still a little hesitant. Suddenly encountering such a situation, he was a little unsure whether this title would do more harm than good or harm to him.
"What's there to hesitate about?"
Seeing that Gray was still hesitant, Sophia said unhappily.
"Don't forget that the last time you had a conflict with the Nahum family. Although I helped you suppress it, the Nahum family might not let it go."
"With the Fergus family's current status as a noble, if the Nahum family really wants to deal with you, even the royal family can't stand up for you."
"Thank you, Your Highnesses. I'm willing!"
Hearing Sophia's words, Gray finally made up his mind. He stood up and bowed slightly to the three of them.
Indeed, if he became a noble of the kingdom, the Nahum family would definitely not dare to make a move on him and the Fergus family so blatantly.
His current strength was quite strong, and he even had a forbidden weapon in his hands. However, he did not dare to say that he was completely fearless of the Nahum family.
A family that had once produced a king-level powerhouse would not be simple. It was very likely that they also had a forbidden weapon. If that was the case, the deterrence effect of the forbidden weapon in his hands would be greatly reduced.
What worried him even more was that the other family almost certainly had a silver-level magic weapon.
Silver-level magic weapons had an extremely strong effect on combat strength. Although not every Desolate Blood warrior could unleash the combat strength of a king-level warrior when they held one in their hands.
However, even the weakest Desolate Blood Warrior would be extremely dangerous if he had such a Silver-grade magic weapon in his hands.
If he really met the other party with a silver-level magic weapon, he would probably have to use spatial teleportation to escape.
After resting for a day, the Purple Moon Kingdom's coalition army began to withdraw from the Duke of Nelm's territory. Most of them would return directly to their own territories, while the important figures of the noble families of the various kingdoms would follow them to the capital to receive the kingdom's rewards.
A few days later, the coalition army left the Duke of Nelm's territory. From time to time, there would be teams leaving the coalition army and returning to their own territories.
The Nahum family sent people to keep a close eye on Gray and the others. Once Gray and the Fergus family left the coalition army, they would be ready to attack the Fergus family and Gray.
Soon, the coalition army approached the vicinity of Sidney's territory. It was the turn of the enfeoffed nobles of Sidney's territory to leave the coalition army and return to their territories. The Fergus family would definitely be among them.
However, at this moment, a piece of news spread from the royal family's team and quickly spread to all the noble families.
"What, His Highness Francis is going to apply for a title for Gray Fergus?"
Warner Nahum, who had heard the news, crushed his wine glass with a crack. The scarlet wine spilled all over his hand like fresh blood.
His heart was filled with violent emotions. He had been waiting to kill Gray Fergus, but he did not expect such a change to happen.
"What should we do?
Gray Fergus will become a noble soon. After he becomes a noble, if we attack him, the royal family will definitely not ignore it! "
"Why don't we take advantage of the fact that he hasn't attended the ceremony and kill him directly? After all, he's not an official noble yet."
Some of the Nahum family's higher-ups said with ruthlessness in their eyes.
The eyes of the Nahum family's head flickered, and he finally sighed.
"It's too late. The news has already spread. If we dare to attack him again, the royal family will definitely not ignore it."
"Father, are we just going to let it go?"
Warner Nahum said unwillingly.
"Of course not, but he's already a noble after all. If we want to attack him, we have to be more careful. Let's stop the operation first and find another opportunity next time. We must not be discovered by the royal family."
Duke Nahum's eyes flashed with coldness.
