First sentence: The story of Der Freischutz is founded on an old tradition among huntsmen in Germany: the huntsman who sells his soul to Zmiel, the demon-hunter, would receive seven magi bullets that always hit their mark, but the seventh bullet belongs to the demon and will be used by the demon to kill the huntsman.
