In this way, Marin headed all the way to Vienna, practicing riding and shooting all the way, hoping to catch his prey. But he still couldn't practice riding and shooting well when he reached the territory of Württemberg (Württemberg would not be promoted to the Principality in 1495).

In desperation, Marin had to give up the idea of ​​riding and shooting to get prey. In fact, he could also get off the horse and shoot. However, after dismounting, he had to quietly touch the prey and then sneak attack the prey. But the problem was that his horse was not quiet, and he kept sniffing, and his hooves were kicking the ground a few times, making a big noise. When the prey heard the sound, he had been scared away.

If you don't bring your horse out, you can store it in a hotel. However, the prey is basically deep in the forest. In the small town near the edge of the forest, there is basically no prey. Because the prey on the edge of the forest has been basically killed by local hunters.

When entering the deep forest from a small town near the forest, you have to ride a horse. But after riding a horse, Marin is not at ease to tie the horse to a place he can't see. When the horse is tied closer, it will make a sound to scare away the prey. But when the horse is tied far away, Marin is worried that the horse will be stolen.

After all, in the Middle Ages, war horses were very precious property. Marin hunted a hundred times and harvested each time, but it was not necessarily a war horse. You should know that an ordinary war horse, like Carl, would cost dozens of marks (1 mark = 160 Finney, 1 pound = 1.5 mark). Even the most ordinary pack horse would cost about ten marks.

If Carl was stolen, Marin would not only lose the means of transportation, but also lose the qualification to be a knight. Therefore, Marin would never ignore the care of his war horses for a few preys.

These days, he met several knights halfway through the night. However, the knights were surrounded by others. Generally speaking, in addition to the down-and-out wandering knights (he also saw several), there were five knight minions around him when he went out. Two minions helped the knight transport armor and rifles. The other three were explored and even helped cook. Generally, there were one or more of these five servants who could fight. The one who could fight was generally responsible for night watch, protecting the knight from being attacked by others in his sleep. After all, if the knight was fighting, it was inevitable that there would be a few enemies.

"Oh, if I had a servant to help me watch the horse, I could also feel at ease in the forest to hunt!" Marin couldn't help but sigh.

However, when I think of the hundreds of Finneys on me, there are not even land, so how could there be servants following me? You know, the knight's servants are usually selected from the serfs in their own manor for their loyalty. After all, if the servants rebel and their family stay in the knight's manor, they will not be able to escape.

Marin now has less than 800 Finneys left, so it is okay to hire a temporary servant. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the person who hired temporarily will give the horse to this person. Will this person run on the horse and run away because of greed? After all, a war horse is worth about six or seven thousand Finneys, which is enough for an ordinary person to live a good life for a long time. You must know that the salary of an ordinary person is only like two Finneys a day.

After thinking about it, Marin felt that it was more reliable to dig traps and hunt. After all, he couldn't ride and shoot himself, and he was reluctant to leave the war horses. Only digging traps is the most suitable one.

Then he went to the blacksmith shop and prepared to buy a shovel to dig a trap. Last time he used a wooden pickaxe to dig a hole, he almost exhausted himself. This time, he was going to use professional equipment.

But what surprised him was that Europe did not have shovels at this time. There were only iron hoes, hammers, pickaxes, etc.

Digging soil is obviously the most labor-saving shovel. Therefore, Marin had to customize a short-handed engineer shovel from the blacksmith according to the style of the engineer shovels used to dig trenches in later generations. Of course, it does not have folding or other functions, but the wooden handle has a shovel head, which is specially used for digging holes.

The next day, Marin paid 10 shillings and got an extremely practical engineer shovel as he wished. You should know that in the later trench warfare, if the troops were not equipped with engineer shovels, they would not be able to make a trench, and they would definitely be tortured by the opposite cannons and machine guns.

In his previous life, Malin went to the back mountain to hunt, and also brought an online shopping engineer shovel to dig traps in the woods and pit prey, which was very skillful to use.

Sure enough, after getting the engineer shovel, Malin was in water and quickly dug seven or eight traps in one breath by the river deep in the forest. Moreover, these traps were dug relatively deep, so I was not afraid that prey could jump up.

After covering the dead branches and turf, Marin leisurely rode his horse and returned to the town where he stayed. Halfway through, Marin encountered some running prey and fired his bow with an arrow. Sure enough, he didn't hit it...

After reclaiming the arrowheads, Malin was not discouraged, but happily returned to the hotel...

...

The next morning, Marin rode his horse to the trap where he dug yesterday with anticipation to check the harvest. Sure enough, he found the fourth trap and found a wild boar...

Then Marin was confused. The wild boar was a very ferocious animal. If he was asked to come up, he might kill him - the wild boar had fangs. So Marin had to make a decision - kill the wild boar and drag it back...

After making up his mind, Malin stood on the pit, drew an arrow, and shot arrows into the pit...

After wasting 5 arrows, Marin shot the wild boar with difficulty. The wild boar was thick and thick, and it was indeed not blown out. At such a close distance, Marin shot 6 arrows to kill the wild boar. If he met Marin in the wild - to kill Marin, he would not choose to hunt the wild boar. Damn, if he could not kill him in one shot, he might be the one who would be the one who would be defeated. I am afraid that only professional heavy armored muskets can threaten the wild boar...

Marin did not drag the wild boar away immediately, but put it in the pit first. Then, he rode on his horse and checked the remaining few traps. In addition to harvesting prey, he also had the meaning of destroying the traps.

Why? Traps can not only pit prey, but also pit people. Day is the time for human activities, and hunters may enter the depths of the forest. If they pit a hunter, it would be a sin. Therefore, after checking whether there is prey in the trap, Marin usually removes the cover on the trap, and then sets up a wooden stick next to remind others that there are traps here.

In the following few traps, Marin harvested two more rabbits. But in the last trap, Marin was stunned...

Why? It seems that someone is lying in this trap...

Moreover, he was a very tall and strong young man. However, looking at his lying in the trap, it seemed that his brain was first hitting the ground. So, this guy seemed to be dizzy.

Of course, this guy must be in danger of life. Because, after all, the trap is not the bottom of the bricks and stones, but the soft soil. The reason why this guy is dizzy is that he has his head hit.

After tentatively breathing, Marin exclaimed for luck, this guy breathed very smoothly...

Soon, the tall young man woke up slowly, looking confused...

"What's going on?" The tall young man scratched his head, as if he couldn't figure it out. It seemed that this guy was not smart enough...

"Sorry, sir, you fell into the hunting trap I dug. It's all my fault. You can take this little money, I hope it will help you." Marin took out 10 Finneys and handed them to the young man. In theory, 10 Finneys are not a small amount, and they can be worth the five-day wages of ordinary people. Moreover, the young man seemed to be not injured.

However, what surprised Marin was that when the tall and strong young man stood up and saw Marin's clothes clearly, he began to panic. He bowed to Marin and said:

"Dear Knight, it was a villain who accidentally destroyed your trap. Please forgive me!" After saying that, he did not take the silver coins handed over by Marin.

Marin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. This era is the age of nobles, and civilians are like ants. Originally, Marin's trap hurt the young man. However, after seeing the armor and the war horses on the side of Marin, the young man realized that there was a knight in front of him. So he was frightened.

You should know that in the chaotic German, nobles are law. If the noble master in front of him kills himself in anger, no one will avenge him. Although this tall young man is taller and stronger than Marin, he dare not show any dissatisfaction. Because, everyone knows that knights have been practicing martial arts since childhood. Even if ordinary people are strong, they may not be able to beat knights who have learned combat skills. Moreover, even if they win, it will not only be a good thing, but will bring disaster to their families. Therefore, after seeing that Marin is a knight, this tall young man decisively admits to his conscience.

"Don't be nervous, I have no malice. By the way, what's your name? Why are you doing when you come to the deep forest so early in the morning?"

"Go back to the knight master, the little one is Kahn. The little one came to the forest in the morning. He originally wanted to capture a few preys and go back to stew the soup to nourish my mother's body."

"Kaen..." Marin was a little Spartan. Looking at the guy in front of him, he looked very ugly, and he did have a bit of "Lion King Kaen" style...

Then, Marin laughed...

"Hahahaha, Kahn, it's so appropriate..."

"Ah?" Kahn was a little puzzled. Is his name that funny?

After laughing enough, Marin asked angrily again:

"Kahn, you said you came to hunt, where are your weapons?"

"It's this javelin..." Kahn looked embarrassed.

Marin looked at it and it was just a sharpened wooden stick...but, can this thing be used for hunting? Marin was deeply suspicious...

"Can this thing be used for hunting?"

"This... this is the first time that the villain has come out to hunt. It's really, my mother is too weak and there is no food at home. So, I want to get a prey back and make soup for my mother to drink..." Kahn scratched his head and said that he is the first brother in the hunting world...

"Mother..." Kahn's words evoked Marin's memories. In the memory, the scenes of mothers in later generations and mothers in this life kept flashing in his mind...

After a long time, Marin sighed and said to Kahn:

"Kahn, come with me and help me move something, I'll pay you!"

"Okay!" Kahn was happy when he heard this. He didn't dare to accept Marin's compensation, but he didn't mean he didn't dare to accept Marin's employment. Having an employment means he has wages!

Then, when he came to the pit of the boar, Marin pointed to the dead boar and said to Kahn:

"Kahn, help me bring the boar up!"

"Yes, lord!" Kahn, who was about 185, jumped down happily and pulled out the wild boar weighing about 200 kilograms out of the trap. By the way, he also pulled out six of Marin's arrows.

Afterwards, under Marin's command, Kahn dragged the wild boar and walked towards his own direction...
