“You didn’t learn this in the cavalry, right?” the old count asked with some hesitation. He was a little depressed. When did the wilderness survival training of the Cavalry Regiment become so powerful that even he, a veteran adventurer, could not match it.
“This is not the result of training in the cavalry. I was a hunter before joining the army.” Hull said.
“What about your marksmanship? Were you so accurate before you joined the army?” Philip asked. He was not as frustrated as his father. Although he was the only one among the three who got nothing, he was not very interested in hunting before, so there was no need to use this method. Ashamed.
“As a hunter, my marksmanship must be decent, but as a hunter, I don’t have a weapon like a Mahi rifle, and I don’t have so much gunpowder and bullets to waste. In the army, especially in the cavalry regiment, If you want to practice marksmanship, you can shoot bullets at will, and your marksmanship will naturally not be as good as before after a few years,” Hull said.
“Were you a hunter before?” The old earl sat down and said, “It’s a pity that you have retired, otherwise you might have a greater chance. I heard that the Ministry of War has just established a special military academy. It wants to To enter this academy, the first requirement is to have rich hunting experience.”
“What kind of college is that? There are such strange requirements.” Hull asked out of habit.
“I heard that it is a school for training sharpshooters.” The old count said: “I have only heard about it, but I have indeed seen the guns equipped by the Ministry of War for those sharpshooters. It is a very special gun, with a caliber larger than The standard rifle is larger and has a longer barrel, but the most important thing is that this gun is equipped with a special sight, which is like a monocular telescope.”
“I’d like to get a rifle like this,” Hull said.
“There is no difficulty in this.” The old count had already been unknowingly affected by the charm, and he was no longer as indifferent as when they first met: “This rifle is only in the experimental stage now, and it is not a secret weapon. A friend of mine is the project director in charge of the experiment, and I can get one for you to play with in return for the two spirit dogs you gave me.”
Of course Hull nodded in agreement. He seemed quite happy and even did things much faster.
After expertly cleaning the two wild ducks, Hull threw the internal organs into the group of dogs.
“My children will not eat those things, my dear friend,” said the old count, smiling.
Hull was stunned for a moment, and he immediately realized that this was another difference between nobles and commoners. Nobles had to train even a dog to look very decent, and noble families had plenty of food to eat. The mouths of these dogs must be bigger than ordinary dogs. People are even more cunning.
He snapped his fingers casually, and one of the two wolfdogs ran over.
