God Blood Warrior - Chapter 417

[Chapter 416 The trip to the fief]

After the reward banquet, the Fergus family returned to Fergus Castle, and the three Saroyan brothers and sisters also followed.

The original Sidney Castle has been completely destroyed, and the new castle is under construction, which has not yet been completed, so the Fergus family invited the three of Saroyan to visit Fergus Castle.

After two days on the road, the group returned to Fergus Castle.

Not the original Fergus Castle, the new Fergus Castle has been built and the Fergus family has moved in.

This is a huge castle built on the top of the mountain, which is vaguely similar to the original Fergus Castle, but the area is several times that of the original Fergus Castle.

The thick city walls lie horizontally, the beautiful buildings stand, the ground is paved with white stones, the roads are decorated with flower beds, and there are gardens, pavilions, rockeries, and ponds inside.

In order to build this castle, the Fergus family spent a lot of gold coins, but now it seems that it is worth the money.

In addition to the new castle, Fergus City is also expanding. Of course, it cannot be completed so quickly. It must be a long process.

Back at Fergus Castle, the Earl of Fergus began to reward the enfeoffed nobles who participated in the war.

All the families have been richly rewarded.

Two of the soldiers with outstanding military exploits were named Lords, which aroused the excitement of the two soldiers.

Although there were nine deaths, many times I almost died on the battlefield, but the harvest was also huge. Become a lord, even the smallest title, but also have a fief. From now on, the trajectory of life will be fundamental with ordinary people. The change.

A few days later, Gray and the Fergus family left Fergus Castle and went to Gray’s territory. The three Saroyan brothers and sisters were also invited.

Passing by the Cumberland family, after a visit, they continued to set off. A day later, they arrived at Gray’s fief.

The horse-drawn carriage walked slowly within the Grey fief, enjoying the natural scenery along the way.

Indeed, as Sophia said, the natural conditions of this territory are extremely superior, the terrain is flat, there are many fertile fields and cultivated land, and you can often see villages. These cultivated land alone will definitely be able to get a huge amount of tax every year.

After walking for half a day, they came across a lake.

This is an extremely huge lake with beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery, and there is even a small island in the lake.

This is the largest lake in the territory.

It is the biggest feature of this territory and the biggest source of income for this territory.

The lake is green, and there are many fat fish. With Gray’s eyesight, you can even see some of them, which are as long as Mi Xu.

Every year, the lake brings great wealth to the territory.

Coming here, Gray and the others reached their destination on their trip to the territory.

This territory was called the Half Moon Territory when the Purple Moon Kingdom was under the jurisdiction, and the territorial castle was called the Half Moon Castle.

And this castle is not located in a large city, nor on a hill that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but is located on a small island in the middle of the lake in front of you. To reach this castle, you must take the Ship to go.

“Master Gray!”

The Banyue Castle had already received news that they came to greet them by boat. The first to greet them were two middle-aged men, both of whom had brown hair, one of them was taller and the other was shorter. , of medium stature.

The tall man is named Hogan Marcus, and the medium-sized man is named Simpson Carey. They are the people sent by the royal family to manage the territory for Gray. One of them is responsible for the governance of the territory, the other It is responsible for the finances of the territory.

Under the leadership of the two, Gray and his party entered the island by boat. This is a small island with an area of tens of kilometers, in the shape of an irregular gear, with a huge castle in the middle.

“so big!”

Seeing this castle, Sarah, Polly and the others were all surprised.

The castle is built of white stone, with horizontal walls and towers. It is extremely huge, even larger than the newly built Fergus Castle.

Only obvious weathering marks can be seen on the surface, and it can be seen that the castle has existed for a long time.

“Master Gray!”

At the entrance to the castle, a group of servants stood respectfully on both sides of the castle entrance to greet them.

Among them, there are young maids who wear black and white maid outfits, slender bodies, and all appearances can reach the middle and upper levels.

There are chefs in kitchen clothes.

There is a manservant who wears a manservant’s uniform and is in charge of physical labor.

There was also a young man in the robes of a pharmacist.

These are all “gifted” by the royal family. They are adopted and cultivated by the royal family from orphans. They are usually sent by the royal family to serve members of the royal family and a small number of nobles who are highly valued by the royal family.

“Ok.”

Gray nodded with satisfaction, and was extremely satisfied with the necessary personnel for the castle presented by the royal family, which saved him the worries of going to invite them.

Moreover, these people have been professionally trained by the royal family, and they are extremely skilled in all kinds of occupations to be engaged in, and they are by no means comparable to those who are temporarily hired.

Among these people, Gray was most satisfied with the young man in the pharmacist uniform. This is a pharmacist trained by the royal family. Although he is not a master of alchemy, he is also very precious.

The cultivation of a pharmacist places great importance on talent. Without the corresponding talent, it is difficult to become a pharmacist even if you are with someone who is with the alchemist all the year round.

“Master Gray, according to the records of the castle, this castle has existed since the founding of the Purple Moon Kingdom.”

Entering the castle, Hogan Marcus and Simpson Carey respectfully introduced to Gray with a very respectful attitude.

After being appointed by the royal family, they naturally investigated and learned about Gray, the lord. This knowledge shocked them, but they couldn’t help but be surprised.

They were granted the title of Earl when the title was first granted. Those who knew this very well could naturally see that the royal family valued this lord, and they were even more ecstatic after learning about Gray’s record on the battlefield.

Following such a potential lord who is favored by the royal family, their status is bound to rise.

In fact, they have already felt this improvement in their status. Recently, they have received many invitations from nobles in succession. Some of them ignored them before, but now they are extremely enthusiastic.

“It existed at the beginning of the founding of the country. Is it a building during the imperial period?”

Gray’s eyes lit up.

If this castle is an imperial building, then he has to investigate it, maybe he can find a secret room or something.

To have such a huge castle, even in the imperial period, I am afraid that the status will not be low. If you can discover the hidden secret room, you will definitely be able to obtain extremely valuable gains.

“I don’t know this. The information in the castle is not recorded in detail.”

Hogan Marcus shook his head and said.

The group traveled around the castle, which had gardens, rockeries, ponds, pavilions, a training ground paved with hard stone, and even a small horse farm.

It can be said that all the pleasures of the nobles are here, but although the castle is huge and magnificent, after all, too long has passed, and there are inevitably signs of weathering in some places.

“It’s a very good castle, but it has been uninhabited for too long, and the wind is very serious, and it needs to be overhauled!”

Earl Fergus said.

“It does need a major overhaul.”

Gray nodded. Although he should not live in this castle, it is essential to overhaul the castle. It is in the middle of the lake, and it must be quite cool in summer. In the future, when the summer is hot, everyone from the Fergus family can come. This summer.

As for the money needed for repairs, of course, it’s not a problem, not to mention that the annual tax revenue of this territory is extremely huge, just say that the 30 million gold coins he got in the king’s cemetery, not to mention repairs, just repair a few more Such a castle is enough.

It took them half an hour to turn the entire castle. During the process, Gray did not forget to find out whether there was a hidden room, but he found nothing.

The castle is too huge, and the buildings in it are quite dense, almost turning into a labyrinth.

“This bedroom is mine!”

The main castle building has a total of three floors, and there are many bedrooms on the third floor. Sarah immediately chose a bedroom facing the garden.

And Gray, Earl Fergus and the others also chose a room for them to live in for a long time when they came here in the future.

In the evening, everyone had a fish feast, grilled fish, and fish soup. The ingredients were freshly caught from the lake, and they were made by chefs sent by the royal family. The taste was excellent, and Gray and others were full of praise.

At midnight, everyone was already asleep.

woohoo-

Suddenly, a low whimper suddenly came to mind, like the sound of the wind blowing through the building, or the sound of wild beasts in the night, and it would sound from time to time.

Swish!

In the bedroom, Gray suddenly opened his eyes and sat up with a very sharp look in his eyes.

With the strength of his savage warrior, his ears are naturally extremely powerful, and he can hear the whimper very clearly. He is sure that this is definitely not the sound of the wind blowing through the building, but rather like one he has seen before. The roar of a creature.

He put on his clothes, left the bedroom, walked down the stairs, followed the intermittent whimper, and looked for it.

He didn’t light a lamp, and it was derived from the infrared perception of the Shadow Snake, which gave him night vision, and could clearly distinguish objects even in the dark.

Following the sound, he searched all the way, and finally found the place where the sound came from.

It was a well, and they had seen this well when they were visiting the castle before.

According to the introduction of the castle servants, this well is a dry well and should not be used for a long time.

woohoo-

Another whining sound came from the ancient well again.

Gray narrowed his eyes slightly, took out the rope from the purple ring, tied it to the edge of the well, and dived down the rope.
