Chapter 11: Traveling back to home

For the next few months, Marin thought about lying all night in the bed of the Vienna Hotel. The consumption in Vienna is very high, the clean hotel, the accommodation for the three people includes the cost of keeping the animals, 40 Finneys a day. And Marin's group of three, plus the money for the horse, is also up to 40 Finney a day. It is the two cows grazing, but also to charge. After all, this is Vienna, not a small town. It is not a place to eat grass. It has to be paid for by people. More than 80 Finney's consumption a day makes Marlin feel a bit too much. So Marin decided to leave Vienna for a while and go to a lower consumption of the group. If you can hunt and make some money, it will be more perfect.After making up his mind, the next morning, Marin asked Kahn and Kohler to pack their bags. After finishing the package, Marin went to the hotel owner to check out. Then he took the two attendants and came to them saying I'm returning home.

As for which road to take, Marin also thought about it - they returned to the Black Forest. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

There's many animal and resources in the Black Forest, and Marin's archery technique is very good. With the cooperation of Kahn, they can rely on hunting to make a fortune. Moreover, it seems that the lords near the Black Forest are not very strict with the poaching problem, which is very suitable for Marin.

Marin's plan is to raise a lot of money by hunting. With the money, so you can change the equipment and equip Kahn and Kohler better. Also, after the end of the Italian war, I would buy a small manor for myself. As for status, I still have to rely on the emperor to fight. He knows the outcome of the war. The first Italian war, the Empire was defeated by France, and there were great military achievements to gain. As long as you save your life on the battlefield, and use historical knowledge, you can get some of the lowest-level aristocratic status of the official knight. If you are lucky, you may be able to be ennobled a baron or something.

There is, Marin needs to recruit 3 more knights. The average poor knight also has 5 or more squire. But raising 5 knights is a big expense. Some knights are very poor in character. If they have no money, they will go to the road to rob. But Marin is a man of discipline and will not do such a wicked thing. Therefore, he decided to rely on hunting to save enough money. After squandering the money, he not only had to recruit five servants, but also bought a pony for each servant, and equipping them with weapons and armor such as mail armor and spear.

He thought about it, Kahn can be regarded as a good combat force, but Kohler is a little thin, can only serve as a role for the quartermaster. The servants are, but the knight's most trusted partner and men. Therefore, in addition to ability, reliability is the most important. The reason why Marin chose Kahn and Kohler was that he was interested in Kahn's honesty and truthfulness. As for Kohler, it is actually because of his knowledge. Moreover, Marin knows where the Kahn family is, and if they dare to betray, they can go to their homes to settle accounts.

On average, Marin three people can catch two or three red deer every day, as well as a number of hares and foxes. It was the wild boar in the forest, and Marin do not dare to provoke it. Because, he was not sure to damage or pierce it's thick skin with a 60-pound bow. As for Kahn being able to kill a wild boar alone, Marin felt that it was also accidental. Because, the last time the wild boar did not go to Kahn, but to the horse, Kahn is on the side of the wild boar, so the wild boar is not ready to kill Kahn or dodge. Unless Kahn is wearing a full set of plate armor, he can confidently challenge the wild boar. But letting a follower wear a full plate armor, it is too extravagant, as for Marin's plate armor, Kahn can't wear it. Because Kahn is much taller than Marin.

The three boys hunted and made money on the road, and enjoyed the beauty of the Black Forest by the way. By the time he entered the territory of Marker, Maring was surprised to find out that his personal assets had reached more than 500 marks. This is almost close to the income of Hoffman Manor a year.

"Hunting is lucrative!" Marin was infinitely impressed.

However, Marin is also very clear that he was able to get a sum of the more than 500 marks because others are watching him as a knight. Otherwise, if it is an ordinary hunter, when entering and leaving the city, he will be extorted by the defending soldiers and will be collected by the lord for most of the profits. Even if it can hunt down the prey worth 500 marks, at least 400 marks will be extorted by the lord, tax official and defending city soldiers.

Moreover, it is impossible for a general hunter to have a horse. This has led to the fact that the walking hunters cannot go too far inside the Black Forest. Staying in the Black Forest for the night, he will end up be eaten by the wolves. Not only that, they also don't have the same shooting skills as Marin, and a partner like Kahn. Therefore, the success of Marin is generally difficult for hunters to copy. The people who really have the status of knights generally don't practice archery. They are generally used to melee, and a very few of them will shoot arrows. Besides, among those who has status, who will lower himself to be and hunter?

Even Marin himself believes that hunting is just a short-term matter. If a transmigrator makes a living by hunting, it is simply the biggest shame in the world.
