In the city center of the Rolle family, Gray followed the Rolle family's patriarch, Aubrey, into the patriarch's study under the sullen gazes of the Rolle family members.
After entering the study, Gray sat on a cool leather chair made of the leather of some kind of ice element blood beast. Aubrey, on the other hand, stood respectfully. There was not the slightest trace of dissatisfaction or grievance in his eyes.
In fact, Aubrey had died when he was slapped into the city wall by the Thorny Calamity Crocodile. Although the body that appeared in front of everyone was still his original body, his soul was already that of a different person.
"Tell me, why is the Rolle family searching for the blood essence of the ghost fox at all costs?"
Gray looked at Aubrey and asked. This was a question he had been thinking about for the past few days. The Rolle family's enthusiasm for the blood essence of the ghost fox was obviously abnormal. For this, they did not hesitate to become enemies with him. If someone said that there was no secret behind this, Gray would not believe it no matter what.
"Lord Gray, the reason why the Aubrey family is searching for the blood essence of the ghost fox at all costs is to refine the ghost potion. This is a potion that can make you fearless of ghosts for a period of time."
After being resurrected by the resurrection ability, Aubrey, who was completely loyal to Gray, did not hide anything and spoke of the reason why the Rolle family was searching for the blood essence of the ghost fox.
"To refine a potion that can make you fearless of ghosts for a period of time?"
Gray asked with a playful look on his face.
"Could it be that the Rolle family has discovered some ghost territory?"
In the Bilan family's library, Gray had once seen an interesting record. It was impossible to verify how long the history of the source world could be traced back. It was certain that the history was extremely long.
During such a long time, many terrifying wars had broken out, and each time, several Law-rank powerhouses had participated. The disasters caused were unimaginable.
Just like how humans could not care about the life and death of ants under their feet, the Law-rank powerhouses could not care about the life and death of ordinary people. Too many people had died in the disasters, and their souls had gathered and turned into ghosts. In the end, the places where the terrifying wars had broken out formed special ghost territories.
The Specter Domain, the gathering place of specters, was a place shrouded in fog all year round.
Specters were afraid of sunlight and couldn't appear during the day. However, when there were enough specters, this rule was broken. The place where they gathered would be shrouded in fog, and sunlight couldn't penetrate it. Even during the day, they could still wander outside.
"That's right. When the Luo Lie Family was excavating a mine, they discovered a ghost territory underground. Because of this, they were looking for the blood essence of the Ghost Demon Fox. They wanted me to refine the ghost medicine."
Aubrey replied respectfully.
"You are also a Master Alchemist?"
Gray was slightly surprised and even pleasantly surprised.
Aubrey himself wasn't very strong. He was only at the first tier of Magic Light. This kind of strength couldn't increase Gray's combat strength. He wouldn't be of much help in battle.
The reason why he used the resurrection ability to resurrect Luo Lie was mainly because he valued Luo Lie's identity. He wanted to use Luo Lie to control the Luo Lie Family and turn it into his own resource point.
However, he didn't expect Luo Lie to be able to refine the ghost medicine. He couldn't help but feel that reviving Luo Lie wasn't any less valuable than reviving a fifth tier of Magic Light.
To be able to refine the ghost medicine using the blood essence of the Ghost Demon Fox, Luo Lie was definitely a Master Alchemist. With a Master Alchemist as his subordinate, as long as he could guarantee a supply of medicinal ingredients, he definitely wouldn't be lacking in medicinal ingredients.
"Yes, Lord Gray," Aubrey replied respectfully.
Aubrey respectfully complied. Since he had Aubrey's soul memories, he was naturally able to refine Magic Potions.
"Very good."
Gray nodded in satisfaction. What was an unexpected surprise? This was probably what it meant when he only wanted to control the Luo Lie Family. He didn't expect to unexpectedly obtain a Master Alchemist.
The news of Gray entering Luo Lie City quickly spread from the Luo Lie City.
Luo Lie City, which had lost the Luo Lie Family, was a huge piece of fat meat. Therefore, all the great families had been watching the battle between Gray and the Luo Lie Family closely. They were waiting for the Luo Lie Family to be destroyed and become the last hunter to occupy Luo Lie City.
Some families were even thinking that if Gray couldn't take Luo Lie City, then they would stand out and cooperate with Gray to take Luo Lie City. Of course, they would naturally want to get a share of the benefits after taking Luo Lie City.
There were spies planted in Luo Lie City by the various families. Therefore, when Luo Lie City was taken, the news quickly spread to the various families.
In a room that was kept cool under the Runic Matrices, a handsome man with a braided beard sat on a leather sofa. On his left and right sides were two beautiful female servants. They hugged his left and right hands softly and were polishing his nails with a nail sharpener.
This man looked to be in his thirties. He was the head of the Kuaits Family, Celad Kuaits. The reason why he looked so young was because he was very powerful. He had become a King-level master long ago.
"Master, there's news from Luo Lie City!"
A voluptuous woman wearing a female housekeeper's uniform that accentuated her figure walked over to him and said respectfully.
It was not rare to see a woman as a housekeeper in the Source World. "If there's something to do, the secretary will do it. If there's nothing to do, the secretary will do it." Obviously, this was also applicable in this world.
"Read it."
Celad Kuaits nodded slightly and gestured for the woman to open the letter and read it to him.
The voluptuous woman responded, then opened the letter and read it aloud.
"The Luo Lie Family has submitted to Gray Fergus …"
Celad Kuaits could not help but frown when he heard the voluptuous woman read out the contents. This result was completely different from what he had expected. It was also not the result that he had expected.
Originally, he had expected Gray Fergus to destroy the Luo Lie Family and then leave Luo Lie City after plundering the Luo Lie Family. However, the Luo Lie Family had not been destroyed. Not only that, but they had also submitted to Gray Fergus. This was completely different from what he had expected.
"Gray Fergus, do you want to incur the public's wrath?"
Celad Kuaits's face was cold. Sensing their master's anger, the two maids beside him could not help but tremble slightly. Their soft parts squeezed even tighter.
The Luo Lie Family had submitted to Gray Fergus, which meant that Luo Lie City had become Gray Fergus's property. This was obviously completely different from what the other families had expected. He could already imagine how the other families would react when they heard this news.
It could be said that Gray Fergus had not destroyed the Luo Lie Family, but had instead taken the Luo Lie Family for his own use. This had already affected the interests of the other families and would definitely incur the wrath of the other families. All the benefits had been taken by Gray Fergus alone. This was something that the other families would never allow.
Although Gray Fergus was powerful, he would definitely not be a match for the other families if they joined forces.
"Gray Fergus is still too young. He can't even understand such a simple logic. Take what you should, and don't touch what you shouldn't. Otherwise, you'll get into big trouble."
His expression was cold, and his eyes were cold. He was thinking about whether he should become the person who connected the other families. Although this would create a deep grudge with Gray Fergus, the benefits he would gain would definitely be the greatest among the other families.
However, the buxom woman's next words instantly extinguished the anger that had just risen in his heart. Not only did it extinguish, but he also felt his entire body turn cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Gray Fergus has a Bramble Calamity Crocodile as his beast!"
This was unexpected news, and it was extremely impactful. This news was definitely like a hurricane. Not only was the other party strong, but the servants who followed him were also very strong. Moreover, he had a beast that had reached the level of disaster.
A disaster level blood beast. What was a disaster level blood beast?
It was like a disaster that brought destruction. This was a disaster level blood beast.
In an instant, the plan that had just arisen was forcefully extinguished. He did not even dare to think about it in his mind. This plan was no different from seeking death.
If it was just Gray Fergus and his servant, the other families would definitely be able to resist and suppress them if they joined forces. However, this did not include a disaster level blood beast.
Disaster level was the same level, but there was a difference of five levels between the Destruction level and the Magic Light level. From this, it was not difficult to see the strength of the disaster level. It was a strength that was on a completely different level from the Magic Light level.
It could be said that even if the other families all joined forces, they would definitely not be a match for this Bramble Calamity Crocodile. They might not even be able to break through its defenses.
"Carefully choose a congratulatory gift. I'm going to Roulie City!"
After thinking for a while, he hurriedly ordered.
If the Kuaits family had a strength that the other families could not contend against, he would definitely attack the other families around him. If he was in their shoes, he could not help but worry that Gray would attack the Kuaits family.
Since they were not opponents, the only thing he could do was to show his friendliness. He would give up some benefits and establish a friendly relationship with the other party. This way, even if the other party wanted to attack the other families, he would not choose to attack the family he was in.
Just as Cerad Kuaits made his decision, similar scenes were happening in the other families.
It could be said that this time, the other families were quite shocked. They originally thought that the other party was only slightly stronger than them, but they were shocked to find that the other party was not on the same level as them.
