Chapter VII. Listen to the admonition Li Yi to practice shooting and force the suspect Cali to dance the phoenix
Guns, a man's romance.
When it comes to men's romance, it is essentially talking about what can make a man immersed in it and want to stop.
Therefore, some people will say that it is "machinery", "flame", "guns", and "battle armor".
But in the final analysis, what is hidden under the surface of this kind of thing is "power" and "conquest".
This is the pursuit that has remained unchanged for thousands of years and is deeply rooted in the hearts of men, and it is something that can really make men's blood flutter.
Being strong means winning, it means being able to hold the people you want to protect in your arms, and it means being able to hold the whole world in the palm of your hand.
From the time our ancestors wielded stone axes to defeat the first beast, the feeling of being strong and conquering everything with power as a medium is the romance of men.
Influenced by film and television works, Li Yi worships the generals who direct the country and roar forward with a wave of millions of male soldiers, and worships the agile heroes in the rain of bullets. Whether it is a general or a hero, they are always accompanied by the explosion of the eardrum, the roar that hits the heart, and the pride that hits the heart like a bell. Like those protagonists who are weak but want to be strong and stand up, they must win, they must be strong, they must be able to defeat, they must be able to defend, and they must be able to conquer...... This is a deepest desire rooted in Li Yi's heart.
That's his romance.
However, when a row of bullet holes is pointed at you, no one will feel romantic.
The muzzle of the black hole represents absolute power, you are romantic when you have absolute power, but when absolute power is directed at you, you can only be humble.
Li Yi leaned forward towards the rifle team with his hands raised.
The officer who pointed out the rifle shot was a middle-aged man with sparse hair but a thick beard, and his arch-like black beard made Li Yi want to laugh but couldn't.
Under the pressure of the gun's eye, Li Yi finally came to the middle fence, and he greeted the officer politely: "Hello, I am here for rifle training." ”
The officer blinked his golden eyes and said with a slight disdain: "I have seen many young men who have performed well, and they are no worse than you in attack and defense training, but they are either blinded or their fingers blown off, will you be an exception?" ”
Li Yi didn't like this atmosphere very much, he didn't need to be educated, let alone pointed at a gun, in order to counter this contemptuous remark, he smiled heartily: "Maybe your guns are too bad, that's why they always explode." ”
The officer threw a rifle to Li Yi and snorted coldly: "Pick up the rifle and stand in the line." ”
The guns originally aimed at Li Yi were all turned to the scarecrow target, and his psychological pressure was suddenly emptied, and he stood in the team with the gun, and said in his heart: Hit ten times and ten rings to show you, so that you can look down on people blindly.
"Bullet." The rifle trainer behind the scarecrow's target shouts the command.
Li Yi was in a daze with his rifle, he didn't know how to load it at all, he never thought that the gun in the game needed to be loaded. As a matter of common sense, role-playing games should have unlimited ammo as long as they are equipped with weapons.
The refugees around him completed the bullet action in a uniform manner, Li Yi felt very uncomfortable, and just now he was full of confidence and wanted to hit the ten rings, but he couldn't even play the bullet.
The officer must be laughing at himself.
Li Yi thought to himself, and glanced back at the officer, but the officer did not have any expression.
"Arrogance is really harmful."
Li Yi put away his rifle and walked honestly to the officer, he humbly asked: "This is my first time receiving shooting training, there are many things I don't understand, there were many collisions just now, please forgive me, and I want to trouble you to give me a lot of advice." ”
"Good. Young people have a good mentality. The officer's tone was still cold, "The loading of a single-shot rifle is very simple, just stuff the ammunition into the chamber and pull the big bolt. ”
The officer did what he said, and Li Yi followed suit, and immediately learned it.
"You're a quick learner." The officer gave timely compliments.
The officer took aim with his gun and explained: "This kind of rifle is slow to reload, and the accuracy is not high, but its lethality is extremely high, and in a real battle, we only need to hit one or two shots to be enough for the enemy." That being said, you'll still have to practice how to aim and shoot, after all, being more accurate means saving. Isn't fighting a war about material consumption? Aiming means that the right eye sees through the gap and the front sight, so that the tip of the front sight is in the center of the gap and level with the top edge, pointing to the aiming point. You try. ”
Li Yi did the same, but his movements were obviously irregular, and his hands were shaking and his heart was beating.
"The heart should be steady, and between breaths, the eyes should be accurate." The officer pulled the trigger and hit the scarecrow right in the forehead.
Li Yi thanked the officers.
Although the officer "welcomed" him with a rifle platoon at first, and then said harsh words, at this moment Li Yi already understood that he really didn't know anything about shooting, and there was nothing to be proud of.
The officer is willing to teach himself, and gratitude is due.
If you want to counter the contemptuous attitude of the officer, you should not only rely on the words of the mouth, but also use the behavior of seeking truth from facts.
The best thing to do is to hit the target.
The ammunition used for training is empty, and when hit, it emits a cloud of red smoke.
In order to avoid disrupting the training of other refugees, Li Yi found a remote corner, he took aim, pulled the trigger, and the gunshots rang out, and red smoke rose from the training officer behind the target.
Laugh.
The trainer looked calm, he seemed to be used to this situation, and joked: "This student can raise the gun higher next time, maybe he can shoot a bird down." ”
The trainer's words resolved the embarrassment very well, and Li Yi practiced on his own again. This time, he was much more stable, the rifle was not loaded, and he repeatedly raised the gun to aim.
After practicing so frequently for more than half an hour, Li Yi felt that his hand holding the gun was more stable.
Loaded the ammunition, raised the gun, calmed down, aimed and shot, and a cloud of red smoke exploded from the scarecrow's chest.
The success of the blow strengthened Li Yi's confidence, and he repeated the training, not in a hurry or impatient.
Another half an hour passed, and Li Yi quickly loaded the bullet and aimed and fired, ten times in a row, and hit seven shots.
Clouds of red smoke were like a salute, congratulating Li Yi on his success.
The officer pointed at Li Yi and said, "Li Li Changchang, your marksmanship has improved a lot, now you can stand back in the line, select a target, and pull the trigger." Wait for the command from the rifle trainer before pulling the trigger and firing. Unified firing is a top priority for rifle platoons. Discipline is more important than precision. ”
"Yes, sir."
Li Yi returned to the team, held his gun, and aimed at the scarecrow target in front of him.
I only heard the training officer shouting, "Bullet." ”
After loading the ammunition, I heard the training officer shout: "Aim." ”
Everyone is aiming with their guns, and Li Yi is no exception.
"Stable ......"
With a bang, Li Yi fired, and the hit was particularly accurate, and his heart blossomed.
It's just, it's just, why didn't the other people around shoot it?
"It's not enough to hit the target! You have to learn to shoot when you get the order! ”
The officer's admonition sounded in Li Yi's ears, and he realized that the trigger had been pressed too early.
"Launch."
Li Yi immediately heard the password, followed by a neat gun ear.
Discipline is more important than precision.
Li Yi understood.
But understanding doesn't mean you can do it.
"Bullet."
"Steady"
The training officer repeated the command, but Li Yi firmly pulled the trigger and did not press it. However, when one is aiming, the urge to press the trigger always comes over you, and any language you hear becomes very seductive, as if an invisible hand is urging you to shoot quickly.
"Not bad. Very good. Keep it up. ”
Li Yi was a little frustrated when he heard this order, why couldn't he shoot quickly?
In the middle of a wavering mind, the training officer shouted the firing order, and Li Yi shot decisively, and the bullet missed the target.
It seems that obeying orders is not always easy.
There is always a subtle difference between a person's personality and the commonality of the team, and if you want to balance the two, you must appropriately give up your individuality and give up too much thinking.
Thinking of this, Li Yi took aim again.
This time, his head was empty, and there was nothing but the target in front of him.
There was a command from the outside world, but he was only sensitive to the word launch, and he would never pull the trigger if he didn't hear the launch.
Sure enough, with such a mentality, Li Yi was able to fire every time after the launch password was over, and more importantly, he found that he could almost hit ten shots.
Let go of useless thinking, focus on the goal in front of you, and obey the unified command.
There are no distractions, and nature is full of hits.
"Maybe you're the hero who ended this war. Li Li Changchang, I am proud of you. The officer gave a military salute to Li Yi, turned his head away, and looked at him no more, as if all this was the end of it, and had nothing to do with him.
The officer has seen too many young soldiers, too many excellent young soldiers, too many excellent soldiers who have been carried away by the merciless fire of war. He was very pleased to see Li Yi grow up, and he was very sad that this young man might die on the battlefield. The only thing that can be done is to encourage, and that is to look back.
Li Yi seemed to feel the pity and mercy emanating from the officer, he silently saluted and turned to leave.
The three trainings in Quagmire Town brought Li Yi a lot of unexpected gains, which were obviously very simple, but they contained many profound and effective truths.
With a sense of satisfaction in the harvest, Li Yi bypassed the pedestrians, the refugees, and the mercenaries in a hurry, and came to the back of the inn smartly, but the armor was gone.
After entering this dungeon, he was inexplicably regarded as the commander of the queen's special mission, relying on this armor, and now that the armor is lost, the identity symbol is lost, which is likely to mean that the dungeon cannot be cleared, Li Yi was a little panicked.
"It's good that Lao Ji is here, he has a lot of ideas."
Li Yi searched around the armor again, and it was indeed lost, and he naturally thought of Li Weiji.
"I don't know where Lao Ji is, this town is not big, it is not small, and it is very troublesome to find him. Who took my armor, this inn is next to the city wall, and it stands to reason that no one will go here. Li Yikai used his brain, "Will this person use my armor to impersonate the commander?" If he were to impersonate, where would he most likely be? Ah, by the way, he's most likely at the mayor or the lord's. ”
Li Yi seemed to understand the key, he got up and wanted to leave, but heard a slightly immature female voice above his head: "Not looking for it?" ”
Looking up, the sunlight was dazzling, and I could only vaguely discern a girl with two ponytails sitting on a tall branch.
The girl floated slowly down from the tree, the golden sunlight in the background. She walked slowly to Li Yi, with golden hair, golden earrings, golden eyes, and golden lip gloss. The black robe inlaid with gold thread shrouded her whole body, setting off her fairer skin, a pair of small flat-headed cowhide shoes are also embellished with gold leaf, and even more exaggerated is the short staff in her hand, which is more like a magnifying glass than a short staff, which is made of gold throughout, and the lens in the middle is brilliant, obviously not ordinary glass but more like some kind of gem containing magical power. None of this was the point, the point was that she had a diamond-shaped flame gem suspended in front of her forehead.
The little girl held a short cane and knocked on Li Yi's head: "Wake up, don't be in a daze, this girl has something to ask you." ”
Li Yi came back to his senses, he had indeed never seen such a yellow girl.
"Who are you?" Li Yi asked rhetorically.
The little girl's short staff drew an arc in the air, shining with golden light, and Li Yi blinked.
"Listen up. This girl is a nobleman of the City of Divine Blessings, the daughter of the Minister of Oton, a good friend of Lord Faeron, and an honorary member of the Order of Deman. Known as the Honorary Skewer, the Kungong ......"
The little girl said a lot of titles, but Li Yi didn't remember any of them, so she had to forcibly interrupt: "So, this golden young lady, what is your name?" ”
The little girl was unhappy that someone had interrupted her conversation, and she still had a lot of titles to finish.
The angry little girl is very scary, and what is even more terrifying is that this little girl has a spell.
A huge tooth covered with magma was suspended above Li Yi's head, and the magma flowed down the river, dripping on the ground, sizzling and smoking, and Li Yi saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly rolled on his side and left the damage range of the magma.
"It's quite responsive." The little girl waved her hand. The giant teeth were gone, and so was the magma on the ground.
"Madame, please listen carefully as you speak." The little girl waved an arc again and repeated, "Listen." This girl is a nobleman of the City of God's Blessing, the daughter of the Minister of Otong, a good friend of the Lord of Ferron, and an honorary member of the Order of Deman. Known as the Honorary Skrat, the Friend of the Kungun, the Caveman Researcher, the Caverner Observer, and the Guild Master of the Lingbao Must Die. Cali Otone is also. ”
"Okay, Miss Cali, can you dispel the fiery phoenix in front of you now? I'm afraid it will hurt me. "Li Yi is very well-behaved, anyone in front of the fire phoenix will be very well-behaved.
The little girl turned the short staff upside down, and the fiery phoenix turned into a red cloud and dissipated without a trace.
"Good. You're doing a great job. The little girl pretended to be old-fashioned, "Next, I will ask you a few questions, and you must answer them honestly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
"Yes, yes, you ask."
The giant teeth and the fire phoenix brought a huge impact to Li Yi, and the scorching heat was really a bit beyond imagination. It was only then that he remembered that Guild Wars was a fantasy game, where swords and sorcery were everywhere.
"Were you sent by my father to arrest me?"
"Of course not. Come to think of it, I don't even know you, so how could I be here to arrest you. ”
Cali's big golden eyes turned around twice, and he asked hurriedly, "Then what's your name?" What is the mission of coming here? What is the purpose of your inclusion in the refugee ranks? Talk about it, talk about it. ”
Under Cali's serial questions, Li Yizhan said tremblingly: "My name, my name, Li Li Changchang." It was sent by the Queen to support the town of Quagmire. I infiltrated the ranks of refugees just to monitor their training progress. ”
"What a mess of names." Cali thought about it for a moment, it didn't seem to be this name in the list of Seraphs, but seeing him take off the high-level armor of the Seraphs with his own eyes, could anyone really be promoted to the position of commander within a year?
Cali circled around Li Yi and nodded thoughtfully.
Li Yi was taken aback, left and right, and it was uncomfortable.
"Captain Logan, is he okay?"
Cali's endless words made Li Yi not know how to answer, he had never heard of this Captain Logan, and the little girl was obviously testing him. In the face of this kind of temptation, what I am most afraid of is that Logan is making it up, and no matter what he says, it is the wrong answer.
"I don't know." Li Yi said ruthlessly, it's a big deal.
Cali poked the short staff in front of Li Yi's eyes, and the light on the lens was colorful, illuminating Li Yi a little like vomiting.
"Captain Logan is in charge of the Seraph, how is he doing, how can you not know?"
"I don't know is I don't know." Li Yi replied stiffly, "The internal information of the Seraphs cannot be revealed to outsiders. ”
"Outsiders?"
The little girl was annoyed and angry when she heard this word, the jewel on her forehead was full of fire, and the phoenix reappeared, and she rushed directly at Li Yi. This phoenix turned everything that could be burned along the way into ashes, Li Yi retreated again and again, and when there was no way to retreat, he finally remembered that he could roll on his side, and his calf rolled to the right side, which was able to dodge the phoenix's attack.
Li Yi hurriedly got up, only to see the phoenix spread its wings and blast a hole in the place where it was before, and then the phoenix returned the same way, and finally dissipated in front of Kali.
Strange to say, after the phoenix disappeared, the originally burned grass and trees reappeared, and the crater caused by the explosion gradually returned to its original state.
In the narrow space behind the hotel, it seemed that nothing had happened except for Li Yi rolling.
Is it a hallucination?
No, it shouldn't be an illusion, the phoenix may be fake, but the power of this spell is absolutely genuine.
"If you dare to say that I am an outsider, I will ask Brother Logan to hang you upside down at the gate of the City of God's Blessing, beat you with a water-soaked cowhide whip, and then brush you with a layer of chili sauce to stop the bleeding."
I don't know where the courage came from, Li Yi replied: "Then you use a big iron skewer to string me, sprinkle some cumin on my wound, and use your fire phoenix to roast back and forth a few times." Served with a fragrant scent. How nice. ”
"What nonsense, I'm not an ogre."
Cali said this very timidly, although she was fierce, she would never think of such a sinful thing as cannibalism.
"Goddess Dvina is above. If you say such ominous words again, you will surely lose your eyes and fall into darkness forever. ”
With her hands folded and her little staff in her mouth, Kali prayed sincerely: "This man in front of him is not a great traitor, please forgive the goddess for his foul words, and may your spirit give him the right guidance." ”
Li Yi didn't understand this little girl a little.
She first took her clothes, then attacked herself with spells, forcing herself to answer her questions, but when she said something bad, she sincerely prayed for forgiveness for herself.
What kind of heart is this little girl in front of her?
Cali is naturally not a bad person, but a little willful and a little mischievous. She is cheerful, optimistic, bohemian, and a very outgoing girl, with a straightforward personality and never beating around the bush. She loves to study and document the history of Tyria, and is curious about everything new. It was this curiosity that prompted her to leave the hotbed of her family, and she tried to measure the world with her feet, but she was trapped in the Valley of the Queens before she left the Blessed City. Centaurs and robbers bring enough disaster and bad luck, and she tries to save the suffering with the elemental magic she has learned, but her power is too thin.
A year ago, she accidentally rescued a caravan and followed it to the most remote quagmire town in the Valley of the Queens, and when she was about to leave, the centaurs and robbers launched a merciless attack, listening to the wails of the refugees, listening to the horns of the Seraph, she felt that she had heard the call, so she decided to stay here.
Early this morning, she heard Sister Lindell say that the Queen's commander would arrive in the town of Quagmire on time, and she was so far away from home that she wanted to know what was going on in the City of God's Blessing, she wanted to know if her parents were well, she wanted to know if her friends were happy, and she wanted to know if the heroic brother Logan had married the Queen...... There was so much she wanted to know, so she stood guard at the entrance to Quagmire. Eventually, she saw the two Commanders in view, she saw Sister Lindell welcoming the Commander back to town, she watched the two Commanders separate, she chased one of them to inquire about the men, but she saw that the Commander was stripped naked in a place where no one was.
No one would take off the armor that symbolized the highest glory of the Seraph at such a time, there must be something wrong with this person.
Cali's fiery temper enraged her, and just as she was about to step forward and beat up the shameless naked man, the man smeared himself with dirt and slipped into the refugee ranks.
Cali had a lot on his head, spies, conspiracies...... One word after another popped up, she calmed down, pulled away, and the bystanders cleared.
But what Cali saw was not a conspiracy, she only saw that this man was seriously undergoing all kinds of training, and in training he showed amazing fighting talent.
What's going on here?
Cali's doubts grew more and more, and she felt that the only way to know the answer to this matter was to ask the man herself, so she returned to the back of the inn, put away the Seraph's high-ranking armor, and waited for the suspicious figure to throw herself into the net.
It's just that, in the face of magical coercion, this suspicious character was obviously scared to death but didn't reveal any information, and even said unbelievable cannibalistic remarks.
The aristocratic religion forced her to chant a prayer for such a cannibalistic statement, but after the prayer, Cali became a little less confident.
Did you really blame him? Is he really the Queen's Special Commander? Did he really sneak into the ranks of refugees to check the progress of his training?
The two puzzled men looked at each other like this, and neither of them wanted to speak first.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Li Yi suddenly heard Li Weiji's voice: "Lao Yi, you are really here." Lingbao, your detector is really easy to use, come and see your big brother Yi. ”
Before Li Yi could answer, the phoenix appeared, only to hear Cali snort coldly: "There is a road in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to vote for." Suffer death, Lingbao. ”
The phoenix swept by, and the flames scorched the sky.
