Chapter 38: find the trail
"Perhaps, they didn't want to take the snow-patterned deer out..." Ole narrowed his eyes, vaguely guessing something. "Or to be more precise, they didn't even want to take the living snow-patterned deer out."
"Huh?" Balmos frowned, "They want to kill the snowstriped deer?"
"Yes." Ole nodded, "Since they can't domesticate the snow-patterned deer, they naturally don't want us to get it. In their opinion, it is better to kill the snow-patterned deer and take away its precious body rather than cheap us. It will not benefit us, and we can easily leave Diamond Town undetected. You must know that the materials on the monsters are also extremely cherished things.”
Willy listened from the sidelines, and finally learned that the snow-patterned deer and Wally, the animals with supernatural powers, are collectively called beasts.
"Aren't they afraid that we will report their actions to Count Lumbar!"
Balmos said angrily with an angry look on his face.
In the Duchy of Langton, the Grand Duke himself has the power to assign all noble titles. However, under normal circumstances, the Grand Duke will only assign the titles of Marquis and Earls. As for viscounts and barons, they are divided by marquis and earls according to the status quo in their territories. The fief of Diamond Town was given to Baron Kells' grandfather by Earl Rumbar's father.
The current Baron Kells and Baron Enton of Blue Whale Town are both vassals of Earl Rumbar. They need to obey Earl Rumbar's orders and be responsible to Earl Rumbar.
"Report to Count Rumbar?" Ole sneered, "Do we have any evidence? With just a small aristocratic badge, we can't correct it unless we get the evidence on the surface. Besides, even if we do report it. , As long as it's not an apparent conflict at the official level, Count Rumbar will probably choose to deal with it softly."
"In that case, we can only move faster than them."
Balmos looked serious: "They will definitely not send only one person here. Maybe at this time, there are already many people from Baron Enton in the Boler Forest. So don't rest for the time being, let all the guards Enter the Boler Forest."
Ole nodded, agreeing with Bamos' statement.
"Willi, you did a good job. After this operation, I will give you the reward you deserve. Now you go back to the Boler Forest and do your best to find the snow-patterned deer."
Bamos turned to look at Willy and said.
Willy bowed slightly: "Thank you. Since that's the case, I'll step back first."
Not long after Willy walked out of the tent camp, he heard the movement of the guards gathering.
From the conversation between Ole and Balmos, he has seen the importance that Baron Kells attaches to the demon beast, the snow-patterned deer. This also allowed Willy to see the great value of the little white bear Wally.
"It seems that Wally needs more professional training in the future."
Willy didn't enter the dark forest of Boler.
Because the traces of the snow-patterned deer are very subtle, Willy didn't plan to look for it in the dark, but decided to wait until dawn to continue searching for the traces of the snow-patterned deer.
A few hours later, the first rays of sunlight broke through the clouds and illuminated the earth.
Willy emerges from a tree hole, he has replenished water and food, and begins to look for ice crystals and suspicious water spots along the way.
"Is there really such a creature as a red deer that sprays frost?"
In the jungle, a middle-aged hunter with a bald head looked troubled, and he muttered as he walked.
It was Haley who was taught by Willy before. His hairstyle was severely damaged by Willy, and he had no choice but to shave his head bald.
Haley has been searching for a long time, but he has not found any trace of the snow-patterned deer passing by, which makes Haley very distressed.
How could it be possible to find traces of ice crystals in such a hot weather? Haley complained as he searched, so that he became less and less convinced of the existence of such supernatural animals.
As the sun rises, the atmosphere is getting hotter and hotter. Fortunately, there are branches and leaves in the woods, otherwise it will definitely make people sweat profusely.
Haley didn't rest well last night, and at this time, he was tired and searched for two or three hours, and he felt a little weak.
"Maybe I should find a place to hide and rest, wait until someone finds the snow-patterned deer and leave the Boler Forest together. Such a troublesome thing, and life-threatening, it's better not to do it, and take it away in the end. Gold Rum is also a good choice."
Haley muttered in his heart. After feeling the heavy footsteps, he found a big tree with lush branches and sat down under it.
He opened the water bladder and poured a few sips of water into his mouth.
"Maybe I should kill a hare and improve the food."
Although Baron Kells provided every hunter with butter bread and jerky, Haley still wanted something with oil stars.
Just thinking about it, Haley suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in the distance, and the wind was cool.
He was just about to say that he was relieved, but suddenly he felt something cold being thrown on his face.
Haley subconsciously took off the cool thing on his face, put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefullyThis is..."
Suddenly, Haley's eyes widened. The white granular crystals were ice crystals. The gust of wind just now brought ice crystals!
He stood up suddenly, with joy in his eyes: "This wind is blowing from the northeast."
Haley stuffed the water bladder into his backpack and hurried to the northeast.
"It's so cold..."
The farther northeast he went, the more Haley felt that the temperature in the air was dropping.
He was already quite sure that he was getting closer and closer to the snow-patterned deer.
A lot of Jinlum is about to go into his waist pocket.
At this time, Haley also showed the rich experience of the old hunter. He was light on his feet, flexible in his movements, and did not make a sound.
Finally, through the shade of leaves in the jungle, Haley saw a huge red deer lying down under a boulder.
Haley swears that he has never seen such a beautiful red deer.
Ordinary red deer are less than two meters long, one to one meter high at the shoulders, and have six or three forks on their heads, and their bodies are mostly brown. The red deer in front of him is nearly three meters long, and the height at the shoulders is about one meter six or seven, and there are twelve deer forks on its head. Its skin is not a rough tan, but a beautiful silvery white. It has dark blue stripes on its silvery-white skin. From a distance, it looks like a work of art.
Haley's heart was pounding, he was thinking, whether to send the signal arrow directly now, or to find a way to catch it.
In the tension, Haley's elbow rubbed against the grass next to him inadvertently, making some slight rustling noises.
"not good!"
Haley's expression changed suddenly, and he saw the beautiful red deer suddenly turning his head to look at the place where he was hiding.
