Section 446: The Blood of the Cartel (1)
On the first day, Marin woke up in Duke Brith's guest-only building, took Matilda and Maya to the hunting grounds, and then took the nobles who had heard the wind to demonstrate a new rapid-fire musket, the victim was a stag, Marin hit its skull and hit its brain in a hundred yards, and everyone was very satisfied with its excellent penetration—in the age of pre-reloading, it was very difficult to hit the skull and penetrate it.
At noon, he lived on the unlucky deer's barbecue, and then continued the demonstration in the afternoon, this time looking for an unlucky bear, a bullet piercing through its lower abdomen four hundred yards away, hitting its heart, and showing its lethal accuracy with practical actions.
The crowd had dinner with its meat, and Marlin was able to come back with a lot of leftovers to feed Madame Spotted's cubs.
The girls had already slept, and the two girls who followed Marin were also tired enough, and after washing in the bath, Marin had to carry them to the bed.
Then Marlin got into the middle of the empty space and fell asleep.
………………
The next day, Marin opened his eyes and found himself sleeping in a strange bed, the girls were gone, and the style of the room had completely changed—it had become very modern.
The oil lamp has been transformed into a switch light with a magic crystal inside, which is capable of emitting a very soft light.
Marin touched the blanket on his body, it was not woven from wool before, but a very soft artifact, and the stitches were not visible.
Hearing the sound of machinery coming from downstairs, Marin pulled out the blanket, which made him realize that his pajamas had also been changed, and they were silk.
This stuff has a price on the southern Thai side, and Marin really can't figure out when it is.
It was definitely not before the Great Destruction, but the small table lamp just now was filled with magic crystals.
Pulling back the curtains, Marin saw a giant floating ...... Pontoon?
Wait a minute, what the hell is this stuff that's all Thai-style? It's not the same history as I know it.
Marin was puzzled and saw someone step out of the boat.
Out of curiosity, Marin put on his clothes—a trench coat that fits perfectly.
I glanced at myself in the mirror, I was 1.4 meters long, and there was no difference - this is very strange, if it was a deep dive, there should not be such a fitting clothes.
Thinking of this, Marin pushed open the door, and the corridor was very lively, full of men and women wearing all kinds of clothes similar to the style of the Western forties of the twentieth century on earth.
What they said was understood by Marin - Sidney, a bit of a diacritic, but basically unchanged.
"What's that big guy out there?" Marin asked.
"It's a Southern Thai orchestra that comes to Fort Carter's quadrennial festival."
The man who answered for Marin said this and glanced at Marin: "I look like you are an elven half-blood, is it the Isle of Eternal Night or the inheritance of Naples?" ”
"What?" Marin wondered.
The man wanted to say something, but was stopped by his companions: "Go down, I heard that the young lady from the House family will be coming this time." ”
House? I hadn't heard of a name, Marin was puzzled, and followed the crowd down to the hall, just in time to see those southern Thaimen - the horse coat cheongsam that matched Marin was completely good, and it was a normal dress of shirts and trousers.
The Thaisman, who is the leader, seems to be chatting with the person in charge of this hotel.
Marin looked up and saw the five-star sign - okay, this hotel is still his own?
At first, Marin thought it was a little weird, but after thinking about it, he thought it was interesting, after all, it was his own offspring, well, since it was in Fort Carter, let Marin guess - it should not be the children of Faye and Nova, the former should be in Sidney's capital (if it is still here), and the latter will obviously be in Rongma.
I don't know if the two royal families are still there in this era.
But at least going to the past made Marin very curious, he looked at the southern Thai, and ran out to see the pontoon, and found that this thing was really a boat floating in the air, although it did not conform to aerodynamics, but as a means of transportation for a song and dance troupe, it should not matter, right.
Touching his pocket, he found the banknote, and the head on it had changed, it was no longer the Movis that Marin knew, but at least it was money, so Marin went to a nearby newsstand to buy a newspaper.
On the front page of the newspaper, Marin saw the surname of an old acquaintance - the crown prince of the Sidney Kingdom visited the Kingdom of Farol at the invitation of the prince, and had a cordial conversation with the crown prince of the Kingdom of Farol, and the two sides put forward their intention to cooperate on the arms control, alliance and commercial package, in order to prepare for the possibility of military confrontation and conflict between the north and the south that is becoming more and more dangerous.
The Kingdom of Sidney? Kingdom of Farol?
Marin looked at these two crown princes, although they didn't look like Marin, but considering that they didn't know how many years had passed, Marin Yu didn't count whether they were his descendants or not, but the two boys were black-haired, which made Marin have a good impression of them - after all, Marin himself is black-haired, and in the western human world, there are not many black-haired people.
It looks like before the First World War, the royal family was still there, but why didn't the Carter burg newspaper mention the name of the Kingdom of Sidney instead of China?
Thinking of this, Marin glanced at the name of the newspaper again.
Fort Carter Herald.
Well, Fort Carter is indeed.
Marin glanced at the flag in the nearby plaza again, and it was not Morvis's family crest flag, but Marin's five-star flag.
What's going on?
Marin was wondering, when he heard someone nearby saying: "I think the Carter Fort Free Territory is indeed leading the trend of technology, you look at the clock tower in the distance, the anti-gravity magic circle is very mature, and our Northern Divine Kingdom has not been able to achieve such a large scale until now." ”
Marlin turned his head and watched a couple of guys who looked like Yankees chatting with their backs to Marin.
Fort Carter Free Collar? Independent?
Marin was completely confused about what was going on, and in his opinion, the world had really become very strange.
Turning to the second edition, Marin saw a title - Lord of Liberty, Miss Jane House will attend the concert in place of her mother, this is the first time that Miss Jane House has attended an important occasion as a vicarious lord, cheer for our Miss Jane, compatriots.
Well, the man above knows Marin - isn't this Matilda, but with black hair.
The eyes are also very similar to Marlin and are black.
Other than that, it feels like a trumpet Matilda...... Ah, the big tail (yi) ba fox is really cute, isn't it?
In order to confirm that this is indeed Matilda's descendant, Marin decided to go to the concert at that time.
But the surname House...... Is there another little bastard who got into trouble later?
It seems that I should buy some history books to check it out, which is really curious.
With this in mind, Marin flipped to one page and looked at the contents of the third page in amazement.
