The gunpowder inside the seamless steel pipe is fully burned and turned into terrifying kinetic energy, pushing the iron-lead bullet forward.
In the reeds not far away.
Colorful feathers flew and a mallard fell down.
"Woof woof!"
The black slender-waisted hound immediately pounced forward and snatched the prey back.
"Good job, dog!"
Fang Xian dismounted and touched the hound's head.
"This dog is well trained...very smart...where did you buy it?"
Next to him, a young girl wearing a hunter's uniform and moccasin boots, dressed very handsomely, asked.
She is Nys Molenfield, a noble daughter, who is also invited to this hunt.
"Old Jack's ranch... is said to be a descendant of the Northern Saurones..."
Fang Xian rubbed the dog's head and answered casually.
He looked not far away, and saw that other noble men and women had set up camp with the help of grooms and servants, and seemed to be preparing for a picnic.
Pete is in the center, and occasionally you can hear the laughter coming from the heart.
It seemed that he hadn't smiled so happily in a long time, presumably because the long-term pressure had been released.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet."
Nisi led the horse and walked beside Fang Xian, and suddenly smiled: "I remember you didn't have such a character when you were a child..."
"After six years of study, entering the mysterious world will always change a little, right?" Fang Xian asked rhetorically.
"It's true... Ever since that investment, the Roland family has begun to decline. My father also bet with others that in ten years your family will be unable to afford normal interpersonal expenses and become a down-and-out noble... However, everything has changed.
Getting better."
Nisi is not taboo about talking about these things, it seems because she has a good relationship with the original Daniel, they were childhood playmates, and the news of the Roland family's sudden wealth has spread.
"This is my father's foresight..."
Fang Xian answered very humbly.
"Yes... most of this kind of private investment will lose everything, and the middle class will even go bankrupt... because they don't have the awareness and don't want to spend a high price to go to the official notary for notarization... Of course, if
If you insist, those scammers will most likely give up..."
Nisi added: "Only we nobles will realize the importance of standardization and acting in accordance with the rules."
'What does this seem to be implying to me?'
Fang Xian silently complained in his heart: 'Can't the sincere friendship in childhood be worth the price of growth?'
He laughed dryly and put the shotgun on his shoulder: "There is no more prey. Let's go back. Pete has to wait impatiently..."
In the camp.
A young deer has been skinned and slowly rotated on the grill.
Fang Xian picked up a drink and came to Peter: "How do you feel?"
"It's great! I mean... I haven't felt this kind of enthusiasm since that investment, you know? I've already had three women invite me."
Peter's face turned red and he lowered his voice.
'No wonder your wife wants to go back to her parents' home...'
Fang Xian glanced at Peter with disdain: "Lisa is back..."
"I know, I know, I'm just a little excited..." Peter scratched his head in embarrassment, and then his expression became a little distressed: "Actually... I don't like the feeling of becoming a nouveau riche, you know, a nobleman
We all value history, tradition, subtlety, and low-key... The real nobles don't know why they are laughing at us at this time, but as for them!"
He looked at the young men and women present, and his voice became even lower: "The Mollenfeld family's private property has been losing money for many years, and it is said that it is selling real estate. The Bojin family's factory has exceeded the pollution limit and has been shut down for rectification. There is also the Aisha family.
, their pasture was used as a nest by a group of underground worms, and they suffered heavy losses... We are all nobles who are glamorous on the surface, but secretly messed up..."
'Why are you so melancholy? Is it because of your feelings?'
Fang Xian rolled his eyes and comforted: "Everything will be fine..."
"Yeah... In addition, there are also the troubles that come with it, such as... the father's illegitimate son who appears out of nowhere..." Peter shrugged.
Fang Xian was glad that he didn't drink water, otherwise he would have sprayed directly: "You know?"
"Isn't it normal for nobles to live a corrupt life or have several mistresses when they are young?" Peter looked at Fang Xian in surprise, as if he thought he was making a big fuss.
'This means that if you hadn't been too poor these past few years, would you have planned to find a few lovers? Well... maybe you already have one?'
Fang Xian had an expression on his face that said, "Your circle is really messed up" and "I don't understand." He retreated in defeat and went to the campfire to cut a piece of venison.
"We have also prepared a coastal-style thick soup. We just need to add more water... Hank, where is the Hank who fetched the water?" Nisi smiled and stirred the iron pot in front of her and asked suddenly.
"Hank...he has been walking for a long time. Maybe the scenery is so beautiful that he can't help but stop and look at it?"
Several men looked at each other with understanding expressions.
"he came……"
Niss glanced at it and saw Hank coming from the direction of the stream. She couldn't help but raise her hand and say, "Where's the kettle?"
Hank, who came out of the forest, was a man of medium build and good facial features, wearing a groom's clothes.
At this time, with a strange smile on his face, he suddenly stopped and looked at everyone present with his deathly gray eyes.
Immediately, his clothes rotted quickly, revealing the flesh and blood on his body.
The flesh and blood fell off piece by piece, followed by bones and internal organs...
The corpses scattered on the ground melted quickly and turned into a pool of black and red liquid that emitted a foul odor.
It seemed as if his entire being was corroded in an instant.
"ah!"
The girl's scream broke the tranquility of the camp.
The horses snorted uneasily, and the hounds did not dare to step forward, but barked frantically in the direction Hank was coming from, as if there was unparalleled danger hidden there.
"It's a mysterious incident!"
Nisi's face was ugly: "We encountered a mysterious incident!"
In this world, the existence of extraordinary beings has been made public, and the people know the existence of mysterious people and some of the most basic mysterious knowledge.
For example... when ordinary people encounter mysterious events, the best way is to escape, otherwise, they are very likely to encounter terrible dangers!
"bodyguard!"
Several nobles hurriedly tried to mount their horses and escape, calling for their own guards.
Those who can become noble guards are naturally extraordinary and have the ability to handle ordinary mysterious events!
But the next moment, several hounds whimpered and fell to the ground one after another, rotting rapidly, and the terrible smell of corpses continued to escape.
The face of a bodyguard blocking the front suddenly became stiff. He turned around and looked at the noble men and women, his body beginning to rot.
