After the reward banquet, the Fergus family returned to Fergus castle, and Saroyan's three brothers and sisters followed.

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

After two days on the road, the party returned to Fergus castle.

It is 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. It has some similarities with the original Fergus castle, but its area is several times that of the original Fergus castle.

Thick city walls lie horizontally, exquisite buildings stand, white stone paved ground, flower beds on both sides of the road are dotted, and there are gardens, pavilions, rockeries and ponds inside.

The Fergus family spent a lot of gold coins to build the castle, but now it seems to be worth it.

In addition to the new castle, Fergus city is also expanding. Of course, it can't be completed so soon. It must be a long process.

Back to Fergus castle, count Fergus began to reward the enfeoffment nobles who participated in the war.

The families were richly rewarded.

Two of the soldiers with outstanding military achievements were made lords, which excited the two soldiers.

Although he almost died on the battlefield many times, he gained a great harvest. He became a lord, even the smallest title, but he also had a fief. From now on, the trajectory of life will fundamentally change with ordinary people.

A few days later, gray and the Fergus family left Fergus castle and went to Gray's territory. Saroyan's three brothers and sisters were also invited.

After visiting the Cumberland family, they continued to set out. One day later, they arrived at Gray's fief.

The carriage walked slowly within the gray fiefdom, enjoying the natural scenery along the way.

Indeed, as Sophia said, this territory has extremely superior natural conditions, flat terrain, many good fields and cultivated land, and villages can be seen from time to time. These cultivated land alone is bound to receive a huge tax every year.

Half a day later, they saw a lake.

This is an extremely huge lake with beautiful scenery. There is an island in the lake.

This is the largest lake in the territory.

It is the biggest feature of the territory and the largest source of income of the territory.

The lake is green, and there are many fat fish. With Gray's eyesight, he can even see some of them, up to meters.

Every year, this lake will bring great wealth to this territory.

Here, gray arrived at their destination on their trip to the territory.

This territory was called the half moon collar when it was under the jurisdiction of the purple moon Kingdom, and the territory castle was called the Half Moon Castle.

The castle is not located in a large city, nor on a hill that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but on an island in the middle of the lake in front of us. If you want to reach the castle, you must go by boat.

"Lord gray!"

The half moon castle had already received news and sailed to meet them. The first to greet them were two middle-aged men with brown hair. One of them was tall, and the other was shorter and medium-sized.

The tall man was Hogan Marcus and the medium-sized man was Simpson Carey. They were the people sent by the royal family to manage the territory for gray. One was responsible for the governance of the territory and the other was responsible for the finance of the territory.

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

"How big!"

Sarah, Polly and others were surprised to see the castle.

The castle is built of white stone, with horizontal walls and towering spires. It is extremely huge, even much larger than the newly-built Fergus castle.

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

"Lord gray!"

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

Among them are young maids who wear black-and-white maid clothes, have a slender body and can reach the top of the middle class.

There are chefs in kitchen clothes.

There are men in manservant clothes who are responsible for manual work.

And a young man in a pharmacist's robe.

These are "gifts" from the royal family. They are adopted and bred by the royal family from orphans. They are generally sent by the royal family to serve royal members and a small number of nobles highly valued by the royal family.

"Yes."

Gray nodded with satisfaction. He was extremely satisfied with the necessary personnel of the castle presented by the royal family, which saved him from the worry of inviting him.

Moreover, after the professional training of the royal family, these people are extremely skilled in all kinds of occupations, which are by no means comparable to those temporarily employed.

Among these people, gray is most satisfied with the young man in pharmacist's clothes. This is a pharmacist trained by the royal family. Although he is not a master of medicine refining, he is also precious.

The cultivation of pharmacists attaches great importance to talents. Without corresponding talents, it is difficult to become a medicine refining master even if you are with someone all year round.

"Lord gray, according to the castle records, this castle has existed since the founding of the purple moon kingdom."

Entering the castle, hogan Marcus and Simpson Carey respectfully introduced gray with great respect.

After being appointed by the royal family, they naturally investigated the Lord gray, which surprised them, but they couldn't help being surprised.

They were granted the Earl title for the first time. Those who knew this very well could naturally see the royal family's importance to the Lord, and they were even more ecstatic when they learned about Gray's achievements on the battlefield.

Following such a Lord with great potential and favored by the royal family, their status will rise.

In fact, they have felt the improvement of their status. Recently, they have received many guest invitations from nobles. Some of them ignored them before, but now they are very enthusiastic.

"It existed at the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China. Is it an imperial architecture?"

Gray asked with bright eyes.

If the castle was built during the imperial period, he had to explore it. Maybe he could find a secret room or something.

If you can have such a huge castle, even in the imperial period, your identity will not be low. If you can find the hidden secret room, you will be able to obtain very valuable harvest.

"I don't know. The information in the castle is not recorded in detail."

Hogan Marcus shook his head.

The party toured around the castle. There were gardens, rockeries, ponds, pavilions, a hard stone training ground, and even a small horse farm.

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

"It's a nice castle, but it hasn't been inhabited for a long time. It's very windy and needs to be overhauled!"

Said count Fergus.

"It really needs an overhaul."

Gray nodded. Although he should not live in the castle, it is essential to overhaul the castle. It is in the middle of the lake and must be cool in summer. In the hot summer, the Fergus family can come here for summer vacation.

As for the money needed for repair, it's nothing to say, not to mention that the annual tax of this territory is extremely huge, that is to say, the 30 million gold coins he obtained in the king's cemetery, not to mention repair, is enough to repair several more such castles.

It took them half an hour to turn the whole castle around. In the process, gray didn't forget to find out whether he had a hidden secret room, but he got nothing.

The castle was so huge, and the buildings were so dense that it almost became a maze.

"This bedroom is mine!"

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

Gray and count Fergus also chose one for their long-term residence when they came here in the future.

In the evening, they had a fish feast, roast fish and fish soup. The ingredients were fished from the lake and made by the cook sent by the royal family. The taste was excellent, which was praised by gray and others.

At midnight, everyone had fallen asleep.

Sobbing——

Suddenly, a low sob suddenly remembered, like the sound of the wind blowing through the building, and like the sound of wild animals at night, it would ring from time to time.

Shua!

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

With the strength of his bloody warrior, his ear power is naturally extremely strong. He can hear the sob very clearly. He is sure that it is not the sound of the wind blowing through the building, but the roar of a creature he has seen.

He put on his clothes, left the bedroom, went down the stairs and followed the intermittent sobs.

He didn't light the light. He got the infrared perception from the shadow snake, which gave him night vision ability 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 was made.

It was a well that they had seen before when they visited the castle.

According to the introduction of the castle servant, this well is a dry well and should have been useless for a long time.

Sobbing——

Another whine came from the ancient well.

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