Claude quietly walked up the hillside with his matchlock gun. The group of wild boars were indeed very courageous and did not care about anyone approaching. A few larger wild boars seemed to smell something and raised their heads in the direction Claude came from.
He roared a few times, then lowered his head and searched for food in the mountain field regardless of it...
Claude stopped about a hundred meters away from the wild boar group. He heard Verricro talk about the habits of wild boars. Don't get too close when they are looking for food. If you get too close, the wild boars may think you are interested in them.
They pose a threat and will take the initiative to attack you.
The distance of about one hundred meters is just right. Even if the wild boar finds you approaching, it will ignore you because the distance is too far. Claude picked up the gun and started to aim. His target was not the largest wild boar, but a small wild boar. In this way
A shot to the head from such a distance is guaranteed to kill it with one shot. If it were the big wild boar, it might not be killed with one shot because of its rough skin and thick flesh.
In the back yard of the manor villa below the hillside, Mrs. Maria and Butler Lutheran stood in front of the door of the pharmaceutical testing room, watching Claude hide behind the bushes and take aim at the wild boars with a matchlock gun.
"Madam, can he do it? He is just a teenager..." Butler Lutheran said with some worry: "I think we should invite a few hunters from the town to drive away these wild boars. Last time I heard that one of them had
The hunter's guard soldiers said that before dealing with the wild boar, you must prepare an escape route. It is best to find a big tree to rely on, so that even if the wild boar is angered, you can climb up the tree to escape. The injured and crazy wild boar is the most ferocious. If you keep an eye on the target,
It's often a fight to the death.
Look at him, he has no experience at all, he just stands behind the bushes and aims his gun. If he doesn't kill the wild boars but angers them, then he won't be able to escape. The wild boars don't care if there are bushes in front of them.
Cong, if he bumps into him, he will be finished..."
"Believe him once." Mrs. Maria waved her hand to stop Lutheran's words: "Although he is still a young man, I think he can hunt the Niros crocodile, so it will be very easy to deal with these wild boars.
One thing. In addition, you also know that this young man is a wild mage. He should have his own means to ensure his safety. We don’t need to worry about him..."
The gunfire rang out, and Mrs. Maria and Butler Lutheran saw a cloud of white smoke rising from the matchlock gun in Claude's hand. A small wild boar among the wild boars on the hillside in the distance jumped up and fell headlong.
On the ground.
Killed with one shot! Claude was very satisfied with his marksmanship. He whistled lightly and took out the granular standard No. 3 gunpowder from the paper tube from his pocket. He bit the paper tube and poured the gunpowder into the barrel.
, tamp it with a pipe, then pour in lead bullets, and tamp it again with a pipe. Turn the matchlock gun over, bite the paper tube again, pour the powdery gunpowder inside into the medicine box, check the matchlock, and clamp the matchlock.
, finally can launch again...
Just when Claude was loading the matchlock gun in an orderly manner, the two largest wild boars in the wild boar group were already irritated, and they ran towards Claude. The distance of a hundred meters was not long, but short.
Not long after, when Claude raised his matchlock gun again, the two furious wild boars were about to rush in front of Claude, and the distance between them and Claude was already less than ten meters.
Claude can only shoot one more shot, but there are two wild boars. Even if Claude can kill one wild boar again, another wild boar will hit Claude. Claude has never practiced iron cloth.
With the indestructible power of the Vajra, he simply couldn't stop the wild boar's violent collision...
"It's over... We can't do anything to save him..." Butler Lutheran in the yard below lamented. He wanted to reach out and cover his eyes, not wanting to see the tragedy happen. Even if Claude on the hillside could shoot
Even if you kill or injure one, you can't escape the revenge of another ferocious wild boar.
Madam Maria did not speak. She stared at Claude on the hillside, holding her hands tightly. The crisis in front of her made her not nervous...
Claude actually didn't care about the ferocious impact of these two furious wild boars. As long as two "snaps" were heard, these two ferocious wild boars would turn into idiots. They didn't even know why they came here, and maybe they would...
Sniff Claude's pants in a friendly manner. Claude can put the muzzle of the arquebus against the wild boar's head and fire, and then give the wild boar next to him a "click", or directly hit its head.
Magic flying arrow.
The problem is that Madam Maria and Butler Lutheran were watching him hunting wild boars in the yard below the hillside. He told Madam Maria that he only knew five alchemy runes, so now he used two combat spells.
How to explain?
Frankly speaking, Claude had a very good impression of Madam Maria. She was generous in her manners and straightforward in her speech. She said one thing and another, but the important thing was that Madam Maria had no intention of deceiving him, a newbie in magic, and she had no intention of deceiving him.
Coveting his five basic spells, she instead told him the true value of these five spells. From her, Claude learned a lot about magic knowledge and the kingdom's management of magic. It can be said that Claude benefited from talking with her.
Not shallow.
You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Claude concealed his two basic combat spells in front of Madam Maria, just out of a subconscious defensive mentality. No matter what the situation, he must give
Keep the trump card to yourself instead of telling Mrs. Maria everything, no matter how sincere and enthusiastic she appears...
The two ferocious wild boars were already very close, less than five meters apart, but Claude still held his matchlock gun and remained motionless.
Suddenly, the two wild boars running wild felt like they had been hit by two heavy hammers. Their front legs gave way and their heads hit the ground. They plowed two deep furrows on the ground and dragged them in front of Claude...
Claude had enough time to put his matchlock gun to the head of the largest wild boar, and when he pulled the trigger, there was a "boom" and smoke rose. The big wild boar's legs twitched and he fell to the ground struggling for his life.
Another wild boar had been awakened by the sound of gunshots, and rolled up from the ground and turned around to escape. Claude threw the gun away and dropped his hands and became motionless again. Then the wild boar had just ran two meters when it seemed to be hit by something again.
It was as if his body was being held down, and his legs were scratching in place, but he couldn't get away, and he could only roar in panic...
Then Mrs. Maria and Butler Lutheran in the yard below the hillside watched dumbfoundedly as the matchlock gun that Claude threw on the ground automatically rose from the ground and leaned against Claude's body. There seemed to be an invisible object in the air.
He was loading the matchlock gun with his hand, then handed the matchlock gun to Claude, and pointed the muzzle at the head of the big wild boar that was pinned to the ground...
There was another "boom", and the wild boar also fell down on the hillside and stopped moving after a while. The other dozen or so wild boars in the distance were already frightened by the three gunshots. The two largest wild boars
Once dead, the rest will "hum hum" and run away without a trace.
Claude wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and waved to Madam Maria and Butler Lutheran below, signaling them to call someone to carry away the three wild boars.
Mrs. Maria had already happily ran up the hillside with her skirt in hand. Butler Lutheran called Mrs. Maria several times from behind, but Mrs. Maria ignored him. He had no choice but to turn around and go to the front of the villa to look for her.
People are here to take care of the three wild boars.
Madam Maria gasped and rushed to Claude's side, shouting excitedly: "How did you do it? Claude, do you know how worried I was for you down there just now? These two wild boars were about to hit each other.
It’s up to you…”
Claude wiped the sweat from his forehead again: "Madam, it's a magic hand, just like I stopped your frightened horse pulling the cart. Only this time I dealt with two wild boars. I almost couldn't hold them down.
…”
Claude once conducted experiments when he used magic hands to do housework in his small attic. For example, it was difficult for him to move the heavy desk by himself, but he could move it with a magic hand.
Easily lift the desk off the ground, and the other magic hand can hold a broom to clean away the dust accumulated in those corners.
It's a pity that there is no suitable measuring tool in the small attic to measure it, but Claude estimates that the magic hand can withstand at least ten times the force of his own. In other words, if Claude himself can lift two hundred kilograms
Object, then the magic hand can lift an object weighing two thousand kilograms. Although I don't know if this estimate is correct, it does not prevent Claude from using his magic hand to deal with the two large wild boars that are running wildly.
In fact, Claude was secretly glad, because he didn't expect the momentum of these two big wild boars to be so great. If he hadn't thought of the mental shock spell, which had the effect of sapling, he would have taken the opportunity to slam the magic hand into a fist.
If it's on the wild boar's head, I'm afraid it's really impossible to stop these two big wild boars with magic hands, which might be really tragic.
Fortunately, I used my magic hand to make a fist and hit the two big wild boars on the head, so that the running wild boars fell to the ground and Claude easily dealt with them. Only now that he thought about it, Claude felt a little scared.
At that time, I didn't think about it that much at all, and I didn't think carefully about whether the magic hand was suitable for dealing with these two big wild boars.
Perhaps there is no need to load the matchlock gun at all. It seems more appropriate to use precise control to turn the magic hand into two spears, and aim the spears turned into the wild boar.
It would be easier to let them hit each other by themselves. Didn't Madam Maria say that magic hands and precise control are used in conjunction with each other? How could I have forgotten...
"These two wild boars are so big. This is the first time I have seen wild boars at such a close distance." Madam Maria also stepped on the carcass of the big wild boar in front of Claude with her feet.
"No, ma'am, haven't you ever eaten wild boar?"
"I have eaten wild boar, but I haven't had much contact with the wild boar because of its stinky smell. At most, I just looked at it from a distance, just like I did down below. Claude, do you think this wild boar has any disease?
Look at this skin, it looks like scars in patches, it’s really ugly.”
Claude smiled and shook his head and said: "Madam, this is not a disease, but the skin of adult wild boars is almost like this, because wild boars like to rub their bodies on pine tree trunks, apply pine resin to their bodies, and then rub them in the mud.
After rolling around, its skin will be extremely tough after it dries. As you can see now, ordinary beasts can't bite it at all, and even muskets can't penetrate it. I also shot a small wild boar above, you
You can take a look, its skin is different from these two big wild boars."
"Oh, that's it, it's not written in these books." Mrs. Maria stepped on the wild boar carcass again: "This one should weigh more than three hundred kilograms, and that one is smaller, probably more than two hundred kilograms.
, you also shot a small one above. Claude, what are you going to do with these three wild boars?"
"This is Madam's forest farm. I just did Madam a favor. These three wild boars naturally belong to Madam." Claude said.
From a theoretical point of view, this is not wrong, just like the housekeeper is going to town to ask hunters to drive away these wild boars. The prey belongs to the owner of the forest farm, but the owner of the forest farm needs to pay the hunter. And Claude volunteered to help, no
Discuss remuneration.
Mrs. Maria waved her hand: "I don't need these wild boars. Didn't you say you came to our forest farm to hunt wild boars? You can take these three wild boars back."
"Why is this so embarrassing? I can just take one back with me." Claude was also worried. He didn't expect to catch three wild boars. If he really brought them back, it would be news that shocked the whole town. He didn't want to be in the limelight.
Butler Lutheran came with the coachman and a couple in their fifties. Mrs. Maria said that the couple were the rangers Sioli and his wife who lived here, and that the few acres of land on the hillside belonged to them.
As a reclamation person, if you are older, you can usually use a hunting bow and stone crossbow to shoot down rabbits, pheasants, etc., but it will not work against those group of wild boars.
In the end, Mrs. Maria decided that the largest wild boar, which weighed more than 300 kilograms, would be given to Claude. The other, which weighed more than 200 kilograms, would be given to the rangers Sioli and his wife. There would also be a small wild boar for dinner.
Let her try it out, and everyone will be happy with the result...
