I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law
Chapter 144 Hunting
Nock the arrow, pull the string, adjust the direction at random, and let go.
The bowstring made a crisp sound and the arrow whizzed out.
The arrow turned in the air, then pierced into the wild boar's head through its eye.
"it is good!"
The king seemed very happy, he loved hunting, although hunting had lost its former purity, but his love for hunting still came from the heart.
The Grand Duke of the North also clapped his hands in response. Razlan belongs to Bennett, and everyone here should know that.
The Pope looked at Bennett with contempt in his eyes.
What rules or no rules? You even use magic to cheat.
The king's guards stepped forward and carried the wild boar in front of a few people. Everyone gathered around the wild boar and marveled at it.
This wild boar does look very strange.
Its tusks are very short, but its pig nose is very long, and even seems to be pointed upwards.
Its body is not fat, but rather has a feeling of being produced on an assembly line, and its fur is shiny and glossy, which is a characteristic of wild beasts that live by the water all year round.
Bennett walked forward and stroked the wild boar. The first time he saw this kind of wild boar was when Sera was training Knight Aimee.
That noon, he was engraving the inscription, Aimee was training, and the prey that Sera brought back was this kind of wild boar.
"This is the first prey of the day, so there must be a reward."
The king drew his sword and stabbed the boar's fur, but the first strike failed to pierce it.
"It's a pity that it can't be cultivated on a large scale, otherwise it would be excellent leather armor material."
The gray light in Bennett's eyes flickered slightly. This kind of wild boar is not rare around Razlan. If an ecological park is established, it can be bred.
"The king is interested in the skin of this wild boar?"
The king was just testing the waters, but from what Bennett said, did he mean that he could get a large amount of this fur?
"How many mages are there?"
"There will be less supply in the early stage, but after five or six years, there will be a large supply."
The king's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Okay."
"Then when we share the meat tonight, I don't want the meat, I want the skin."
No meat.
When the Grand Duke of the North and the Rose Representative heard this, they immediately showed surprised expressions.
Is it possible to set such a precedent?
The Pope didn't quite understand what was going on and could only stand there in a daze.
Beth: "Abba, Abba."
When Bennett heard that the king did not want meat but only skin, he was also stunned. After thinking about it, Bennett said:
"It is the right way to keep skin and flesh. The king should also cherish his teeth."
The king was stunned again. Wow, young man, you are very confident.
"Okay, since the great wizard has good teeth, I'll do as he says. In that case, I'll take 20% of the wild boar meat."
The Duke of the North and the Rose Representative looked at Bennett like he was a fool.
Bennett didn't care, he knew that the skin was much more useful than the meat.
The Pope read it thoughtfully.
Beth: "Abba, Abba."
Bennett picked up the wild boar, broke off one of its tusks and handed it to Beth.
Beth took it with a confused look on her face.
"King, I have fulfilled a promise."
The king nodded and said:
"can."
Beth looked at the tusk in her hand, which still stank of a boar digging in the mud.
Is this a gift for a lady?
Beth looked at Bennett and said:
"You agreed with the king to give me a boar's tusk?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
There were laughters coming from all around, among which the Duke of the North laughed the loudest, while the Rose representative covered his mouth and laughed.
Even the king couldn't help laughing.
Bennett looked at Beth, who was confused, walked to her side, lowered his head and whispered in her ear:
"Didn't Aimee promise you to leave an army of knights in Razlan?"
There was a burst of heat in her ears and Beth's face turned red. She knew Bennett did it on purpose.
Looking at the fangs in her hand, Beth finally came to her senses at this moment.
The tusks are the weapons of wild boars. Bennett gave the tusks to her so that she could have a powerful army in Razlan.
As for the conversation between Bennett and the king, the skin was business cooperation and the meat was territory taxes.
When Bennett hunted wild boars, no one fought for it because they knew that Bennett was determined to take over Razlan's territory.
Then they went hunting and discussed everything about the territory in general. After that, they just needed to write down the terms of the agreement between the king and his vassal in detail according to this general idea.
Beth put away the fangs, but she still didn't understand. These things could obviously be put on the big stage for discussion, so why did they have to be covered up with hunting?
Bennett looked at Beth's puzzled expression, raised his hand and raised Beth's chin, and said:
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now. You'll know after you read it."
Beth rolled her eyes, slapped Bennett's hand, and reached out to punch Bennett.
But it just passed through Bennett's body without hurting him at all.
"Tch, what's the big deal."
During this time, the king had asked the guards to move the wild boar away. He glanced at Bennett and Beth, then at the Grand Duke of the North, with a teasing expression in his eyes.
"Won't the Grand Duke be worried?"
The Duke of the North glanced at the King and said:
"That's the wolf girl from the North."
The rose representative looked at Beth and Bennett thoughtfully.
The Pope looked at Beth's face and thought of his position in the church, and a surge of evil fire surged in his heart.
He looked at the king and they both nodded.
After the king looked at the Pope, he turned his head and showed a disdainful expression.
The Grand Duke of the North looked at the Pope with disdain. The Pope's eyes towards Beth were almost naked. With his experience, he could see what the Pope was thinking at a glance.
And because of this, the Grand Duke of the North became even more contemptuous of the Pope's behavior.
Roses represent the same.
The Rose Family has always prided itself on being romantic in public, but each of the seemingly promiscuous members of the Rose Family has made countless contributions to the family.
They all agree that internal fighting is internal fighting, but it must not affect the interests of the family.
Therefore, the rose represents even greater disdain for the Pope's actions.
The king didn't want Bennett and Beth to unite, so he had vague intentions to kill Beth.
He didn't have the ability to deal with Bennett, but it was still possible for him to deal with Beth.
The king killed Beth to prevent one family from becoming too powerful, whether the king did it for the stability of the country or for his own interests.
He achieved both.
But the Pope is purely after the power in his hands.
Killing Beth would not benefit the church at all. The only one who would benefit would be himself.
The church is losing Beth, which is like cutting off an arm. This behavior will not bring any benefits to the group.
After figuring out the relationship, the Grand Duke and the Rose Representative looked at the King together.
They also didn't want Bennett to get involved with the church.
"Your Majesty, after the hunt, I would like to have a drink with you."
The Duke of the North spoke first.
The Rose representative also stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, I think I am also entitled to have a drink with you."
They both glanced at the Pope at the same time.
The king was stunned for a moment. He had seen this kind of behavior countless times in the entertainment activities of these nobles, and of course he understood the meaning of it.
And such good things?
"of course can."
