Chapter 124: "Hunter" Island (1)
Because the rest of the navy soldiers had endured storms and long voyages, the two commodore took them to rest at the town's inn, and let Dawn and his party walk around the town as they pleased.
As for Dawn and the others, Ou An was very relieved to let them follow Uncle Tucker to taste the food here.
As they walked towards the center of the town, they could see that most of the houses were made of stone, and in the yards inside the railings, most of them hung with all kinds of animal skins or rabbits and other meat.
There was a sudden commotion in the nearby forest, and Daun looked around to see that it was a horde of hunters carrying a large wild boar back with a load.
When they saw the big boar that was brought back, the children didn't care about playing and surrounded them, watching the boar scream.
"It's peaceful." Watching this scene, Dawn couldn't help but sigh, and even the poker-faced Hawkins couldn't help but nod.
Compared with the year of continuous fighting in the West Sea, this kind of voyage is now more like a relaxation for Dawn and others, which is also the reason why Ouan let them go out, which can be regarded as a holiday for them during the voyage.
Follow Uncle Tucker to an old tavern, Uncle Tucker greeted the boss and asked for a corner and ordered a few dishes.
The first thing that comes up is the spicy whole rabbit served on a large tray, and the aroma of the red sauce and the sprinkled side dishes will whet your appetite.
The tenderness of the rabbit meat in the mouth is matched with the spicy and sweet taste of the sauce, which makes people feel spicy and a little addictive at the same time.
After that, the roast deer leg is tender, because the venison has less connective tissue, the meat is tender and refreshing, the lean meat is more in line with the chef's delicate barbecue technique, the color is burnt and buttery, and the outside is crispy and tender inside.
But the delicacy is delicious, and it's the speed and volume of the meal that makes Tucker really a little frightened...
There is no way, the stronger the strength becomes, the amount of food will naturally become stronger, but the law of conservation of mass, it is natural to have a large amount of food.
"Na, are there any interesting animals in the king's hunting grounds?" Sora asked, nibbling on the deer's leg.
"How do I know, this is His Majesty's private hunting ground, how can it be possible for ordinary people to enter" Uncle Tucker glanced at Sora, and said angrily.
"However, I heard that His Majesty will collect some overseas animals and put them in the hunting garden, so there must be a lot of new animals."
"I've heard that a lot of animals are packed in sealed iron boxes every time, and I heard from the soldiers who carried them that there would be a thumping sound every time the boxes were filled."
"I'm afraid it's some kind of big beast in the box, but strangely I didn't hear any beast roar." Tucker took a sip of beer and said casually, slightly drunk.
It seemed that he had drunk a little too much, and Tucker bowed his head mysteriously and said: "A while ago, the hunting team formed by our town ran to the wall when they were chasing prey in the forest, but I didn't expect to hear someone's cry for help on the other side of the wall. ”
Tucker said with some regret: "When our hunting party asked what was going on on the other side of the wall, the man was silent, and then the soldiers on the other side of the hunting garden came over and said that a servant had fallen behind, and he was chased by animals and did not have time to rescue him, otherwise he might have been killed with a horror cannon." ”
Later, the news spread that the king had intended to compensate his family, but he was an orphan, so the king arranged for him to be given a good burial.
"Is there anything else going on outside the walls?" Dawn asked.
Tucker waved his hand: "The king's hunting ground is so big that I can't hear any sound at all, it was just an accident." ”
"Oooo Sora's eyes lit up as Tucker was about to say something, but Dawn quickly grabbed a deer leg and gagged Sora's mouth.
Seeing this, Tina didn't know what Sora wanted to say, so they changed the subject, and when Uncle Tucker was full, several people said goodbye to Tucker when they wanted to go around at will.
Walking closer to the edge of the forest, Sora couldn't help but speak, "Daun, why didn't you just let me speak. ”
"Let you talk and wait, even if you want to go secretly, I'm afraid it won't work, if something happens, you will definitely be the first to be suspected." Belilgood gave Sola an angry look.
"So you're willing to go on an expedition with me?" Sora's eyes lit up and she said excitedly.
Xiuna rolled her eyes: "Who will accompany you to get into trouble!" ”
Charin Kul: "If we are discovered, then we, as naval officers, are discrediting the navy, do you want to go back and be scolded?" ”
Hawkins still had a cold face: "....."
Looking at the poor Soratina, she comforted: "Don't think about it, the nature of trespassing on the king's territory is too bad, even if we don't stop you, Dawn won't agree." ”
Looking at Sola's pitiful gaze, Dawn smiled: "It's just a king's private hunting ground, it's nothing to sneak in to satisfy your curiosity, let's go and have a look tonight." ”
"Eh, eh, !!!"
Not only were Berrygood, Thorn, and Tina surprised, but even Sola was surprised, as if she didn't expect that Dawn, who had always been steady, would support her actions (do things) for the first time.
Dawn hadn't planned to take a look, and at that time he was just trying to get into trouble by gagging Sora's mouth with meat.
However, it was clear that Tucker had drunk a little too much later, and that something had caught Dwayne's attention.
The crates make a collision sound but no sound seems suspicious, as a normal iron cage is generally enough to catch any animal, but the king deliberately seals the iron cage.
Is there something unseemly? Still is... Is it actually a human in the box?
When Xihai Dawn fought the gangsters, Dawn also saw those gangsters who smuggled slaves, and the miserable appearance of those slaves still has a deep memory of Dawn, and Dawn hated the slave trade.
It just so happened that Sola was also full of curiosity, and just took it to find out, if it was really just a simple hunting ground, then it should be regarded as a visit, if it was really a secret act of buying and selling slaves, Dawn would not sit idly by.
Dwayne: "Let's go to the town and buy some clothes to change into, at least the Navy uniform won't be worn when we sneak in." ”
It wasn't explained why, because it was just a guess and there was no need to make them nervous, and if it was really just an animal bought by the king, it would be considered to satisfy Sora's curiosity.
The sun has set and the sky is starting to darken, but because it is a sunny day, I can see the stars clearly tonight many nights.
A few of them went into the forest and headed for the king's hunting grounds, which may be dangerous for ordinary people, but for Daun and his party, even the overlord of the forest, it was just a supper for food.
Coming to the city wall in the forest, Dawn made an empty ladder and the people climbed the city wall very leisurely and entered the king's hunting garden.
