Chapter 2 Shocking Skills
An old man in a robe with gray hair came to the platform that had been improvised with wood in the center, and he waved his hand, and the crisp sound of the bell disappeared in an instant. Then he gestured with his right hand again, and a middle-aged man in a magic robe behind him immediately recited a few strange syllables, only to see the middle-aged man's finger spell flash, and he completed the level 0 spell amplification technique in a few seconds.
"Everyone." The old man cleared his throat, and with the effect of magic, his voice was clear in every corner, "Thank you very much for responding and participating in the militia recruitment in Tuk Town, I am here to thank you for coming on behalf of Baron Wells as the mayor of Tuk Town!" ”
Acoste couldn't help but pout when he heard the mayor's words, speaking of Baron Wells, in fact, he is not as powerful as the foreigners think, he just has 400 private soldiers and leads 2 small towns, this armed force is far from worthy of the strength that a baron should have, but the reason for this phenomenon is that there has never been a force in the West Hartland region that can unify all places to form a kingdom, but it is a lord alliance formed by various minor nobles, As a result, as long as you have a little men and territory under your hands, you can be the king, of course, you have to join that alliance, and other nobles will recognize your legal status, and of course, no one will care about you what you call yourself.
The funniest thing that Yacoste has heard recently is that there is a broken nobleman who established a village, and actually let the people in it call himself a duke, but fortunately this was not heard by the duke of the neighboring Cormier Empire, otherwise they would pull out thousands of well-armed soldiers every minute to teach you what is called a duke.
"This time, with the authorization of Baron Wells, we are ready to recruit 50 skilled and brave warriors as the garrison of Tuke Town, and the good news is that the benevolent Baron Wells is ready to increase the income of all the garrisons under his rule, from the original five gold coins per person per year to fifteen gold coins per person per year!" The old mayor's words caused everyone in the audience to cheer, 15 coins/1 year's income can definitely make the common people crazy, you must know that the black bread eaten every morning can be bought for only 3 copper coins, and 1 gold coin can be enough for the common people to buy breakfast for a year.
"That's not right. Why are they recruiting so many militiamen this year, and they are paid so highly? After Curry heard the mayor's words, he vaguely felt that this matter was a bit strange, his father only earned 20 or 30 gold coins a year from blacksmithing, you must know that the blacksmith is a golden job.
"Whatever, anyway, even if it's a sea of swords and fires, I'm going to participate, and I still have Lavis to raise." Acoste gave Curry a blank look, he is a well drinker, and he is a well digger, definitely not all the way.
"Okay, now I won't talk more nonsense." The old mayor saw that the atmosphere of the scene was almost hot, and began to talk about business: "Now we have the first round of shooting expeditions, and everyone can use crossbows and longbows. For weapons such as javelins, our only mandatory requirement is that participants can only complete 10 attacks per minute, and as for the quality of the results, we will judge each person according to the difficulty of using the weapon. Now, please bring Lacus, Oku, Tegru, Leyadh, Curry on the court! ”
"That's bad luck." "Come on!"
Acoste laughed and pushed Curry, driving him directly to the sidelines, Curry took out a military crossbow from his arms, as a young warrior who was not yet 18 years old, Curry spent most of his time practicing swordsmanship and shield blocking, so he had to choose a crossbow with high stability, simple operation, and hands-on things for long-range attacks.
"Whoosh." The first round of the competition ended quickly, and after the person in charge of reporting the target recorded the results and changed to a new target, the second round of participants had already warmed up.
Acoste was quickly called, he quickly got up and walked to the sidelines, and suddenly saw Lapier, he had competed in the last round by himself, but he didn't show a look of fear after seeing himself, but smiled at himself strangely. Quickly walked up to himself and whispered. "Good luck farming boy, I hope I can see you in the second round."
Yacoste was a little confused by him, but then he saw his opponent who was competing in the same round as him, and instantly understood the meaning of Lapier's words.
The famous hunter in Tuke Town, the stalker Kouyata, the 20-year-old father Haslem with jungle hunting experience, and the other two buddies are not from this town, but Yacoste knows that the other party must not be good at stubble when he sees their calloused hands and sharp eyes.
"Damn." Yacoste scolded secretly, this is to say that no one in it is the first to disbelieve, but what can be done? After all, they didn't violate the most basic rules of the game, Yacoste glanced at Lapier fiercely, but the other party left himself with a triumphant look.
"It's good that labor and management have those messy memories." Acoste retracted his gaze, but he clearly remembered that he had reached the legendary profession in his previous life, and he could easily use any combat skills. But he has written down this hatred, and his ability does not mean that he will let go of the person who maliciously framed him.
"Game on!" With the old mayor's order, the stalker Koyata was the first to react, only to see him quickly draw his bow and arrows, and shoot his own arrows in a short aiming process. With a "whoosh", the arrow was nailed to the red bullseye 100 meters away. The second Haslem, who is revered as Daddy, is no less impressive, although his reaction is not as fast as Koyata, but he is more consistent, and the arrows that Haslem shoots are nailed around the bullseye one by one, and the distance between the two is hardly more than 2 centimeters. The other two adventurers also looked powerful, and one of them took out a javelin from behind to throw, and the other took out a hidden weapon like a dart, and the tricks can be described as varied.
However, to everyone's surprise, while the other four showed their powers, Acoste did not move, he stood still like a stone sculpture, and did not pay any attention to the situation outside the venue.
"He's scared, that kid who farms must be scared, get out! This is not for you, you should go to the muddy field and continue growing your lettuce. Seeing that Acoste hadn't moved yet, Lapier couldn't help but laugh loudly with his little brother, hoping to influence Acoste's mentality. The unknown spectators around them also followed suit, and began to curse and ridicule loudly, so that the silly boy standing on the field could hurry up and go home.
But just as the last fighter was finishing his final blow, the cacophony suddenly died down. Because Yacoste moved!
I saw that he quickly pulled out five arrows from the quiver and put them on his hand, and pulled the bowstring extremely quickly, all the contestants only heard a "whoosh" sound, and a "poof" muffled sound, and the powerful arrows actually directly pierced the bullseye and nailed it to a wooden pillar behind.
"Whoosh" Before everyone could remember the demeanor of the first arrow, the second arrow had been quickly shot by Acoste, and this time everyone could only hear the sound of the bowstring, because the second arrow actually drilled through the hole where the first arrow had been shot, and was still nailed to the wooden pillar.
The third, the fourth, the fifth
Only at the last arrow, Acoste did not grasp the crosshair, and the arrow pierced the bull's-eye along the other side, opening a new hole in the target.
There was silence on the sidelines, and almost a pin dropped on the ground could be heard clearly. However, the silence did not last long, and turned into a flash flood and tsunami.
"Acoste! Acoste! Acoste! ”
