Chapter 34 Hunting
Suddenly, William opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed the hunting bow, turned left forty-five degrees, and pulled the bow and arrow to the dark green grass under the tree, calibrated it, and then let go.
The arrow from Lisheng shot out, and with a whoosh, a black shadow was nailed into the grass.
Mark, a member of the approaching guard, hurried forward, trotted into the grass, and found a rabbit shot into the neck by an arrow from the grass.
He yelled excitedly, "Sir Baron, it's the Lex Rabbit!"
The fur of the Lex rabbit is horizontal and upright, has a silky luster and soft feel, so it is also called the "Velvet Rabbit". Its fur is loved by noble ladies, so its fur is sold at a low price in the fur market.
The nobles were willing to spend more money on a snow-white leather jacket.
However, the Lex Rabbit prefers to stay in hidden places. He likes quietness but not moving. He can often stand in hidden places for a few hours without moving. Even if someone passes by it, it will not move as long as it is not found.
Therefore, hunters who enter the forest to hunt often find it difficult to hit Lex rabbits.
This is also why Mark is excited when he sees the Lex Rabbit.
However, other guards were more calm.
It’s not that their wealth can ignore the value of the Lix Rabbit, but that these days, they have followed William into the forest to hunt every day.
William seemed to know where the prey was hiding. When he shot an arrow, he could often shoot a prey, either a pheasant, a mountain rat, or other small animals.
In this case, they are back with a full load every day. In this case, how can their emotions fluctuate more heavily as they were in the beginning?
Only Mark was born in a poor family, so he was shocked.
"Okay, Mark, pull out the arrow, wipe it clean and take it to Lord Baron, and bring the rabbit to me!" Jacques spoke.
His strength is the most powerful among the guards, so most of his prey is placed in Jacques' hands, and he is considered a small logistics officer in their team.
Jacques now holds more than a dozen dead animals in his hand, all of which are William's achievements today.
"Okay!" Jacques' previous majesty had a deep impact on Mark. He nodded, pulled out the arrow, wiped the leaves next to him, and then respectfully delivered them to William.
William took the arrow without saying a word.
His mind is on something else.
"Absorb the soul of Lex, the energy can be supplied to 21 days." The voice of the Magic Mirror Spirit sounded.
William frowned. The soul energy of small animals like rabbits is really not strong, not as good as the energy provided by ghost wolf to the magic mirror.
But I can't find the ghost wolf that escaped that night!
If you search for the Magic Mirror, you will definitely find it, but it will be too wasteful of energy and it will only make the gains less than the loss.
Forget it, let’s explore step by step!
William made a decision in his heart, and said in the language of the world of "Snow White", "Magic Mirror, check if there are any prey nearby?"
William talked to himself from time to time and said strange words, and had been used to being used to by the members of the escort team.
If you see it for too much, you will be no longer surprised.
"Master, you are within a range of 100 meters of your location, and there is no suitable prey!" The Magic Mirror Spirit replied to William.
"There is no prey again!" William frowned and looked deeper in the dark forest. After thinking for a while, he issued an order to the guards, "Okay, let's keep moving forward!"
The guard team members naturally had no objection, nor did they have any objections. After cleaning up, they had to move forward.
Suddenly, the voice of the Magic Mirror Spirit sounded in William's mind.
"Master, Master, there are two people approaching you!"
"Two people? Get close to me?" William's heart moved and shouted at the guard team member, "Wait a minute!"
The guard team immediately stopped.
At this time, William also heard a slight sound in his ears.
As time passed by little by little, the voices in William's ears became louder and closer.
William looked up and saw Old John and a bitter-faced villager running towards them.
While running, Old John waved his hands and shouted, "Master Baron, Master Baron..."
William shrugged, "Well, I can't continue to charge the magic mirror today!"
He stood patiently and waited for Old John to approach.
Unexpectedly, Old John was too excited, and accidentally got mixed up by the roots of the tree in the forest and fell to his head.
Although it was nothing serious, he was in a mess all over. William shook his head straight, and he was so careless!
But Old John didn't care and rushed to William like a young man, "Sir Baron, I'm back with what you want!"
"Do you have any weapons?" William asked immediately after his eyes were fixed.
"Yes! Lord Baron, long sword, spearheads!" Old John nodded repeatedly.
"Old John, you're doing a good job!" William patted Old John on the shoulder excitedly and said.
With weapons, he can ask the guards to conduct basic training in swordsmanship, laying the foundation for further practice later!
Only after sword training can the guard team members fight side by side with him in the future, rather than becoming his tycoon, even a few ghost wolf will have to take action by himself!
The members of the guard team also knew that they would have weapons like long swords. Although they didn't speak, their faces were more excited than the other.
Only Old John frowned and said to William, "Sir Baron, the price of the batch of things you want is much more expensive than expected!"
"How much is it?" William asked.
"A total of 130 Pisce gold coins, Lord Baron!" Old John replied.
"It's only 130 Pisce gold coins. No problem! Just buy the things!" William said proudly.
"Sir Baron, I only paid 50 Pizza gold coins, and I still have 80 Pizza gold coins. The caravan boss will only formally hand over the goods to us after he has to get Pizza gold coins!" Old John added.
"Where are they?" William asked calmly.
"In the village, Lord Baron, in our village!"
"Then let's go back." William said without saying a word, and asked the other members of the guard to go back.
Old John continued, following William, "Sir Baron, I heard you asked those villagers to dig some soil back in the Cordillera Mountain?"
"Yes." William looked straight ahead without denying it.
"Sir Baron, I also heard that the reward you give to the villagers is two baskets of Poole copper coins?" Old John asked again.
"Yes." William replied calmly.
Seeing that William always looked like he was indifferent, Old John became anxious and said, "Sir Baron, I think you have paid too much for the villagers. In fact, there are many places we need to spend money, we must..."
"Old John!" William suddenly stopped suddenly, looked at Old John's haggard face, and said, "I know that the reward I gave is high! But Old John, we have no time! If money can be exchanged for time, I would rather exchange it with Pisci gold coins! I am now using money to exchange time with the villagers! Only such a high reward can stimulate the enthusiasm of the villagers and achieve my goal! Believe me, Old John, I know you are for my own good! But I have my purpose!"
"Well, Lord Baron! Everything is followed by your orders." William was so serious that Old John had to bow his head and replied, his tone a little discouraged.
"Don't do this, Old John, you are my excellent housekeeper! I need you, Decas Corps cannot lose an excellent talent! You have to help me supervise the villagers' work, so that they can do their best, and that they cannot be fooled and cheated. This is what you are good at! No one can replace it!" William encouraged Old John.
William's speech was effective, and Old John quickly cheered up and said proudly, "Of course, Baron, others do not have the eyes of Old John..."
He also thought about it. If William cannot stop him from spending big money, he will ensure that every money he spent will get the effect it deserves.
As for the future, let’s leave it to fate. If it really doesn’t work, retreat to Patras!
Thinking of this, Old John's heart became much more relaxed.
"I always think so..." William smiled and looked at Old John with a sincere look. Suddenly, he seemed to have something swept out of the corner of his eyes. His eyes narrowed and his expression became serious.
"Sir Baron, what's wrong?" Old John was the first to find out that William's face was wrong and asked.
William did not answer, but calmly walked over Old John and walked into the grass not far behind Old John.
There, there was a pile of dry black feces.
