Suddenly, William opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed the hunting bow, turned 45 degrees to the left, faced the dark green grass under the tree, cocked the bow, calibrated the arrow, and then let go.
When the arrow was shot from the string, there was only a whooshing sound, and a black shadow was nailed into the grass.
Mark, the approaching guard member, quickly moved forward, trotted into the grass, and pulled out a rabbit that had been shot in the neck by an arrow.
After a brief identification, he shouted excitedly, "Lord Baron, it's Lux Rabbit!"
The velvet of the Lux rabbit is horizontal and upright, with silk luster and soft touch, so it is also called the "Velvet Rabbit". Its fur is deeply loved by noble ladies, so its fur is sold at a high price in the fur market.
Low.
Nobles are willing to spend more money for a leather coat as white as snow.
However, the Lux rabbit prefers to stay in hidden places. It likes to be quiet and does not like to move. It can often stand motionless in a hidden place for several hours. Even if someone passes by it, it will not move as long as it is not touched.
.
Therefore, it is often difficult for hunters who enter the forest to hunt Lux rabbits.
This is why Mark was excited to see Lux the Bunny.
However, other members of the escort team behaved relatively calmly.
It’s not that their net worth can’t outweigh the value of Vix Rabbit, but it’s that they followed William into the forest to hunt every day these past few days.
William seems to know where the prey is hiding. With one arrow shot, he can often hit a prey, whether it is a pheasant, a mountain rat, or other small animals.
Under such circumstances, how could their emotions fluctuate as much as they did initially, as they returned home with a full load every day?
Only Mark came from a poor family, so he was surprised.
"Okay, Mark, pull out the arrowhead, clean it and bring it to the Baron, and bring the rabbit to me!" It was Jacques who spoke.
He has the greatest strength among the members of the escort, so most of the prey is placed in Jacques' hands, and he is regarded as a small logistics officer in their team.
Jacques is currently holding a dozen dead small animals in his hands, all of which are the results of William's battle today.
"Okay!" Jacques' previous majesty had a profound impact on Mark. He nodded, pulled out the arrow, wiped it on the leaves next to it, and then respectfully sent it to William.
William put the arrow away without saying a word.
His thoughts are on other things.
"Absorb the soul of Lux Rabbit. The current energy can be supplied for 21 days." The voice of the Magic Mirror Mirror Spirit sounded.
William frowned. The soul energy of small animals like rabbits is really not strong, and it cannot compare with the energy provided by ghost wolves to the magic mirror.
But the ghost wolf that escaped that night could not be found!
You can definitely find it by searching with the magic mirror, but it is a waste of energy and will only result in more loss than gain.
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 to see if there are any prey nearby?"
William talked to himself from time to time and said strange words, which had long been used by the members of the escort team.
The more you see it, the more you won't be surprised.
"Master, there is no suitable prey within a hundred meters of your location!" Magic Mirror Mirror Spirit replied to William.
"There is no prey again!" William frowned and looked deeper into the dark forest. He just thought for a moment and then gave orders to the members of the escort, "Okay, let's move on!"
Naturally, the members of the escort team had no objections, and they had no objections. They packed up and moved on.
Suddenly, the voice of the Magic Mirror Mirror Spirit sounded in William's mind.
"Master, master, there are two people approaching in your direction!"
"Two people? Approaching me?" William's heart moved and he called out to the escort members, "Wait a minute!"
The escort members immediately stopped.
At this time, William's ears also heard a slight sound.
As time went by, the sounds in William's ears became louder and closer.
William looked up and saw old John and a villager with a grimace running towards them.
While running, Old John waved his hands and shouted, "Baron, Baron..."
William shrugged, "Well, we can't recharge the magic mirror today!"
He stood patiently waiting for old John to approach.
Unexpectedly, Old John was too excited and accidentally got his foot caught by a tree root in the forest, causing him to fall over.
Although there was nothing serious, he was in such a mess that William shook his head. He was so careless!
Old John ignored him and rushed to William like a young man, "Lord Baron, I'm back with what you want!"
"Are there any weapons?" William's eyes narrowed and he asked immediately.
"Yes! Lord Baron, we have swords and spearheads!" Old John nodded repeatedly.
"Old John, you did a great job!" William excitedly patted Old John on the shoulder and said.
With the weapon, he can let the members of the escort team conduct basic training in swordsmanship, laying the foundation for further practice in the future!
Only the members of the escort team who have undergone swordsmanship training can fight alongside him in the future, instead of becoming his backstop and even asking him to take action against several ghost wolves!
The members of the escort also knew that they would have weapons such as long swords. Although they didn't say anything, their faces were more excited than the other.
Only Old John frowned and said to William, "Lord Baron, the price of the things you want is much more expensive than expected!"
"How much does it cost?" William asked.
"A total of 130 gold coins, Baron!" Old John replied.
"It's only 130 gold coins. No problem! Just buy it!" William said proudly.
"Lord Baron, I only paid 50 Pis gold coins, and I still have 80 Pis gold coins left. The caravan boss will not officially hand over the goods to us until he gets the Pis 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 nothing, calling other members of the escort team to go back.
Old John followed William and continued, "Baron, I heard that you asked the villagers to dig some soil back in the Cordillera Mountains?"
"Yes." William looked straight ahead and did not deny it.
"Lord Baron, I also heard that the reward you gave to the villagers was two baskets of copper coins and one Poole coin?" Old John asked again.
"Yes." William replied calmly.
Seeing William's indifferent expression, Old John became anxious and said, "Lord Baron, I think the compensation you paid to the villagers is too high. In fact, there are many places where we need to spend money. We must..."
"Old John!" William suddenly stopped, looked at Old John's haggard face, and said, "I know that the reward I gave is high! But, Old John, we don't have time! If money can be exchanged
If I have time, I would rather exchange it with gold coins! Now I am exchanging money with the villagers for time! Only such a high reward can stimulate the enthusiasm of the villagers and achieve my goal! Believe me, Old John, I know you
It’s for my own good! But I have my purpose!”
"Okay, Lord Baron! I will obey your orders in everything." William said so solemnly that Old John could only lower his head and reply, his tone a little discouraged.
"Don't be like this, old John, you are my excellent steward! I need you, the Decas Territory cannot lose an excellent talent! You have to help me supervise the work of the villagers, so that they can do their best, and so that they cannot steal.
You are good at being cunning and sneaky! No one can replace you!" William encouraged old John.
The effect of William's words was good, and Old John quickly cheered up and said proudly, "Of course, Lord Baron, no one else has Old John's eyes..."
He also thought that if he could not stop William from spending a lot of money, then he would ensure that every money spent by William would get the effect it deserved.
As for the future, leave it to fate. If it doesn't work, just retreat to the city of Patras!
Thinking of this, Old John felt much more relaxed.
"I've always thought so..." William smiled, looking at Old John with sincere eyes. Suddenly, he seemed to catch something from the corner of his eye, his eyes condensed, and his expression became serious.
"Lord Baron, what's wrong?" Old John was the first to notice something was wrong with William's expression and asked.
William did not answer, but with a sullen face, he walked directly past Old John and walked into the grass not far behind Old John.
