Chapter 16 Join the Hunt (Recommended Tickets~)

At No. 13, Golden Champagne Avenue, the opposite black iron gate was pushed open by two male servants, and an open carriage waiting by the gate drove out of the iron gate and drove on the spacious and clean street.

The weather was fine, and Xifa chose to travel in an open carriage. His original intention was to ride directly to the lumberyard. However, the groom, Old Cook, told him that his father Byson was going to use the carriage in the morning, and it needed two purebred horses to pull it.

Unless Xifa wanted to go to the lumberyard by himself, an open carriage that could be pulled by only one horse became the only choice.

The carriage left the golden champagne avenue, bypassed the Memorial Square, passed through the green road where dragons and snakes were mixed, and headed towards the Abury Mountains behind Enqi Town.

When passing through the main area of ​​the town, Xifa noticed that except for the golden champagne avenue and the hard road around the Memorial Square in Enqi Town, other places are dirt roads. This kind of road is fine on sunny days, but on rainy days, The ground will be muddy.

Even if you choose to travel after the rain, without a carriage, the trousers will be dirty.

When you get a chance, make a municipal donation to Dad to pave the rest of the town with hard roads, which will help create a positive image. Moreover, it will be supported by the people at the bottom, which will also help improve my own image. Sitting on the carriage, Xifa let his thinking diverge.

Soon the carriage left Enqi Town. In the suburbs outside the town, there were more trees and fewer houses.

A road paved with mud and stones extends towards the direction of the Albury Mountains. When passing a fork, Xifa saw that at the end of the fork is a dilapidated farm house, which looks like it has not been repaired for many years.

Briar roses covered the gravel wall of the farmhouse, and the surrounding dense trees prevented the sun from coming, so the farmhouse was hidden in a dark shade.

There is an open space surrounded by wooden piles near the farm house. It seems that a fence is planned to be built. There are still some logs piled up in the open space, but it seems that the construction has not started for a long time.

When the carriage passed the fork, the two black dogs tied to the door of the farmhouse jumped up suddenly and roared fiercely at the carriage.

During the whole process, no one scolded the farm house, as if it had been abandoned.

"That's Ain's home. His farm has never been up and running, and the livestock he purchased has gone to nowhere."

On the carriage, the servant Matthew sitting next to him pointed to the gloomy farm house not far away.

Xifa remembered that this was one of the few "interesting things" that Matthew said in the memorial square a few days ago.

"That old fellow Ain has no time to repair the farm recently."

Old Cook, who was controlling the horse, interjected, and he continued in a joking tone: "I heard him show off to us two months ago. He said that he already has two healthy grandchildren."

"He firmly believes that his grandson will be a big shot in the future, but he didn't spoil us."

"You know, his daughter Saila has always been crazy and has some mental problems. Which man is willing to marry such a wife."

"But last month, Ain got drunk and showed us a child in his arms, saying it was one of his grandchildren."

"Goddess, that's a deformity at all. Ugly is not enough to describe the child's appearance. He has a face like a goat, his skin is very dark, his chin is covered with bristles, and his cry is even more terrifying."

"And that child is too big, it doesn't look like a one-month-old baby.

Amidst the old Cook's chatter, the lumberyard had arrived, and Xifa had already put the groom's words behind him, and focused his attention on the forest farm.

In an open space, many logs are placed and workers are processing them. These timbers will be sent by ship to steel mills, or other places where they are needed.

This lumberyard alone earns no less than 20,000 pounds for the West Fa family every year.

On the other side of the open space, there is a row of wooden houses for workers. Now, however, several of them are temporary residences for hunters.

The carriage entered the open space, and Xifa saw that there were several tables in front of the wooden house, and seven or eight men were sitting around them. It seemed that they had just finished breakfast, but the plates were left on the tables before they were cleared away.

Among them, a middle-aged man with brown hair stood up. He had a deep outline and tough lines. His brown eyes reflected the carriage parked not far away.

He put on a wide-brimmed felt hat and went up.

"He is Leon the Hunter."

In the carriage, the servant dutifully introduced Xifa.

Xifa nodded slightly, jumped out of the carriage, smiled and said loudly: "Good morning, Mr. Leon."

Leon put his hands on his chest, bowed slightly, and narrowed his eyes: "Good morning, Mr. Sifa, may I ask you why you are here?"

Xifa said generously: "I know, under the entrustment of my father, you have been running around for the wild wolves in the mountains these days."

"I wanted to thank you for your efforts, so I brought a little gift."

Xifa cast a look at Matthew, who understood, took two bottles of white wine from the carriage and put them on the wooden table.

A bearded man exclaimed: "Good guy, I saw it in a restaurant. This wine costs 2 pounds a bottle!"

Leon was slightly taken aback, and then smiled: "Thank you for your generosity, but the baron has already paid us a commission, we can no longer accept such an expensive gift."

"you can."

Xifa smiled and said his real purpose: "I heard that you will go hunting in the mountains today, and I also want to contribute to this matter."

Leon immediately frowned, wanting his companion to return the wine, but saw that the bearded man had already taken out the cork and poured the wine.

The hunter could only say: "Mr. Xifa, this is different from your usual hunting. Wolves are pack animals, and they are very dangerous. The environment of Mount Ebury is complex, and I cannot guarantee your safety."

Xifa had foreseen such a response, and was not in a hurry to persuade the hunter, but looked at the table and the plates on the table: "Do you still want these things?"

Leon looked at him puzzled.

"Matthew."

Sifer winked at the valet, and Matthew put away the plates on the table, and then threw them into the air one after another, in different directions.

boom!

The gunshot came from the snake-scale revolver in Xifa's hand. With a precise burst of fire, a plate in mid-air was shattered into pieces.

bang bang bang—

Xifa's arm was steady and constantly moving, smashing plates in the air one by one. "Hunter" has improved the most, although it is the fighting part.

However, it made Xifa's senses more sensitive, and his flexibility and concentration were also significantly improved.

In addition, Xifa already had a foundation in marksmanship, and his marksmanship was not bad, so after taking the potion, his shooting ability was also improved in a disguised form.

Like now, he easily hits multiple discs moving at high speeds in different directions.

This kind of marksmanship is enough to crush the hunters around.

The bearded man who was pouring the wine was so dazed that he didn't notice for a moment that the glass was full. He didn't realize that the white wine had flowed onto the table. He yelled 'shit' and simply lay down on the table and started to suck it.

Sifa lowered his arms, put away the revolver, faced Leon, and said with a smile, "I am responsible for my safety."
