Chapter 633: Section 446: Blood of Carter (1)
```
The first day following, Malin woke up in the guest exclusive lodge of Duke Brice, took Matilda and Maya to the hunting grounds, and then demonstrated the new rapid-fire firearm to the arriving nobles with a stag as his target. Malin hit the skull of the stag within a hundred yards, reaching its brain. The impressive penetration pleased everyone—in an era of muzzle-loaded firearms, achieving such a feat was extremely difficult.
At noon, they feasted on the grilled meat of the unfortunate stag, and then continued the demonstration in the afternoon. This time, the target was an unlucky bear; the bullet entered its lower abdomen from four hundred yards away, striking its heart, showcasing the deadly precision with a practical demonstration.
After dining on its meat in the evening, Malin brought back a heap of trimmings to feed the cubs of Lady Spotty.
The girls had already gone to sleep, and Malin’s two companions were exhausted. After washing up in the bath, Malin had no choice but to carry them to bed as they had fallen deeply asleep.
Then, Malin slipped into the empty space in the middle and fell asleep right away.

The next day, Malin opened his eyes to find himself in a strange, large bed with the girls nowhere in sight. The style of the room had completely changed—it had become very modern.
The oil lamp had been replaced by a switch lamp embedded with a crystal stone that emitted a very soft light.
Malin touched the blanket on him, finding it was not the woolen type from before, but a very soft artificial product with no visible stitching.
Hearing mechanical noises from downstairs, Malin crawled out from under the blanket, which made him realize that his nightclothes had also changed to silk.
