435 Air Cannon
The flying shield has been repaired, and Catherine has nothing else to do except practice for the time being. She thought for a moment and walked out of her shop towards the weapons shop.
Although Catherine already has a flying shield, it is the old wrench that is tailor-made for her. Theoretically, she should also be able to get a dispensing weapon in the weapon shop.
The main role of the flying shield is defense and melee combat, so if possible, Catherine also wanted to find a weapon that could attack from a distance. After all, the conical cannon on the bull's eye is only used to deal with emergencies, and the applicability of area attacks is limited.
Walk through the weapons shop and enter the exhibition hall, where there are no one other than the weapons docent. Catherine paused in her footsteps, saw the man clearly, and stepped forward to greet him.
She has a good impression of Cloud Catherine, and Cloud has also helped Ice Bear Abyss and herself against the Iron Tooth Bar. Since you have accidentally met this "old acquaintance", you might as well ask her to recommend a ranged attack weapon for yourself.
"You're here to pick out a weapon?" Yun asked. She was holding a short knife in her hand, the blade of which was somewhat similar to the hunter's short knife common in the Eastern Continent, but it was a little thicker.
Catherine nodded. "I'm looking for a ranged attack weapon. ”
Presumably noticing that Catherine was looking at the short knife in her hand, Cloud handed it to Catherine. "It's an elbow knife. She picked up another elbow knife from the stand, "and put it on your elbow or knee." ”
Yun gently pushed and pressed, and with a "click", the elbow knife was loaded with the left elbow. The cloud elbowed the air, and a cold light swept by. "Hand-to-hand combat is very useful, especially against those beast-like robot golems at the Iron Tooth Bar. ”
Catherine saw that Cloud's elbow had been modified and had been replaced with metal parts. Catherine gave her elbow knife a second glance and returned it, she didn't need this melee weapon.
Yun took the elbow knife and attached it to his right elbow. She took two steps back and made a series of attacks, fast and urgent. I only saw two phantoms shaking in front of the cloud, and the sound of the wind "whirring" came out with the phantoms. Catherine inhaled secretly when she saw it, even if she had a flying shield body, if the cloud attacked her side, it was estimated that she would not be able to stop it by commanding the flying shield with her own hands.
"This new design of the elbow knife has a lot less wind resistance, and the speed of the shot can be faster. Yun stopped the drill and walked back to Catherine's side, "There aren't many ranged weapons here, which one do you prefer?" ”
"It's all right, but with weapons that are easy to operate, carry, and maintain. ”
"A lightweight ranged attack weapon for novices. Yun summed up, and Catherine nodded.
Yun reached out and beckoned the weapon explainer and asked him, "Is there a lightweight ranged attack weapon that can be used by novices?"
The weapons docent thought for a few seconds and replied: "There is only one that meets the requirements - an air cannon." ”
"Take us to see it. Yun said.
Led by a weapons instructor, the three of them came to a weapon. It turned out that this so-called air cannon was a long barrel that Catherine had discovered for unknown purposes. The barrel is engraved with alchemy patterns, more than a meter long, about the size of a fist, and the walls of the barrel are only a few centimeters thick.
"This air cannon is a product of ten years ago, and according to the old wrench, it is only a half-finished product, and it cannot produce the ultimate air cannon that is truly powerful. The weapon explainer picked up the long barrel, "Although it is a half-finished product, the power of ordinary air cannons is okay." Let me demonstrate. ”
The three of them went to a corner of the exhibition hall again, and the weapons docent held the air cannon in both hands and aimed one end at a steel plate three meters away. Listening to the sound of "bang", a stream of air blew out from the rear end of the air cannon, and a fist-sized circular hole appeared in the center of the steel plate as if it had been hit hard.
"The accuracy and power within three meters are the best, and ten meters is the ultimate range. The weapons docent handed the air cannon to the clouds.
Yun took it in his hand and asked how to do it.
The weapon explainer said: "The contact control, you can control the launch by holding the gun with both hands. Both ends are launch ports, so the launch direction should be chosen by yourself. Theoretically, it can be fired continuously, as long as the holder can control it. ”
When Catherine heard that she could fire from both ends, she hurriedly took a few steps back and dodged the rearward muzzle. Yun hugged the air cannon and fired a test shot at the steel plate, and then walked between the two steel plates that were four or five meters apart. I only heard the sound of "bang bang bang" continuously, and several holes appeared in the center of the front and rear steel plates. The sound lasted for about ten seconds, and the cloud walked back and said, "Once the rate of fire increases, the accuracy is not easy to control. And it is not possible to shoot in two directions at the same time, and it takes a time to change the direction of shooting. Try it, it's easy to use. ”
Catherine took the air cannon and walked between the two steel plates. Her palms had been modified and already had tentacles, and she could immediately feel a connection to the air cannon when she held the cannon with both hands. Thoughts surged, and I felt the air in the air cannon gather and compress, and hit the steel plate in front of me with a "bang". Catherine took two steps back, her recoil was a little more than she expected, and she couldn't fire as lightly as the clouds and weapons docents.
Catherine steadied her steps and fired two more shots in succession, one in front and one in the back. Sure enough, as Yun said, it takes a while to change the direction of the shot. Although it was just a transmission of ideas in Catherine's mind, it was not very smooth to implement the control of the air cannon.
Air cannons and magic attacks are somewhat similar in form, but different in nature. For example, in the fireball technique, Catherine can skillfully throw several fireballs continuously, but each fireball has to go through the gathering of the fire element to the generation, shaping, and maintenance of the fireball, which needs to be completed by Catherine herself;
"Very good short- and medium-range weapons. After the test firing, Catherine took the air cannon and sighed, "The weight is also light, which suits me very well." ”
"You still need to practice a lot before you go, and you have to avoid accidentally injuring your teammates when you fight as a team. The cloud reminded Catherine.
Saying goodbye to Yun outside the weapons shop, Catherine did not go back to her shop, but went to the old wrench's warehouse. As soon as she entered, the metal mouth flew from the darkness and said, "I didn't expect you to come now, I heard that the mountain is installing iron feathers for you." ”
"I didn't want to do too much physical makeover. For the first time, Catherine made her intention clear, "If you are really in danger at high altitude, I have a way to deal with it." ”
"I will not interfere with your choices. "I have something to talk to you about, come with me." ”
After saying that, the metal mouth flew into the depths of the warehouse.
