Two days passed quickly, a short time, but with Link's great help, the mages in the army achieved great things in the fight against the dark ghosts.

The biggest result of this is a new type of repeating crossbow.

On the schoolyard inside the fortress, Link, the magicians Mark and Anne, and a few scouts are experimenting with the new weapon.

In front of the school field, several targets are set up to move back and forth at high speed, and each target is set up with special rune markings, and the speed of moving back and forth is very fast, reaching 100 meters per second.

A scout stood 50 meters away, holding a repeating crossbow and not aiming much, just pulling the trigger in the approximate direction of the moving target.

'Whoosh Whoosh' A holy silver crossbow arrow is shot out at high speed, the frequency is extremely high, there are about 5 in a second, after the crossbow arrow is fired, it is not completely straight in the air, some are arcs, some are S lines.

The "tuk tuk" crossbow arrows hit the moving target one after another, but none of them missed.

5 seconds later, the crossbow arrow shot into the air, the scout shook the crossbow machine hard, and a metal arrow box jumped out of the crossbow machine, the crossbow arrow in the arrow box was empty, the scout quickly pressed a new arrow box full of holy silver crossbow arrows to the crossbow bow, 'click', the arrow box was in place, and then the scout slammed it hard and wound the crossbow again.

The whole winding process is only 2 seconds.

The scout pulls the trigger again.

'Whoosh' was another rain of arrows, and the result was also a miss.

Soon, the second quiver box was empty, and the scouts continued to put the third, fourth, and fifth ...... It wasn't until the 20th quiver was shot out of the air and when it was wound up again, the crossbow made a 'crash' sound, and the bowstring finally couldn't withstand such a high-intensity use and broke.

The moving target in the distance also stopped, and it had turned into a hedgehog.

A scout ran up to check, and after a while, he reported loudly: "489 arrows were hit, and 309 rune marks were shot." ”

Mark exclaimed loudly: "20 quiver boxes, 500 magic tracking arrows, more than 97% hit rate of high-speed moving targets, and more than 60% hit of vital points, it's perfect!" ”

The idea of transforming the repeating crossbow was basically completed by Link alone, and now seeing such results, he admired Link more and more, and the faces of the scouts around him were full of excitement, for them, these powerful weapons meant a chance to live.

Anne also smiled: "As long as this crossbow is equipped on a large scale and there are 5 people acting together, we don't need to be afraid of dark ghosts!" ”

Link was still not satisfied, this thing was a long way from perfect, and if he was given some time, he could have used fire elemental magic to recreate an otherworldly version of the high-speed machine gun.

However, he knew that this was not realistic, because it would be too expensive to do so, and it would not be possible to popularize it in the army.

Today's repeating crossbow, while not perfect, strikes a balance between lethality and cost.

In terms of large-scale production, a crossbow machine is about 10 gold coins, a holy silver tracking arrow costs 1.5 silver coins, and a quiver box costs about 4 gold coins.

He smiled: "It's almost time, I'm ready to go back to the south." ”

Anne came over and said, "I'll send you." ”

Link nodded, and the two of them walked towards the fortress's enclosure.

Along the way, Anne remained silent until she reached a secluded spot near the enclosure, where she stopped and asked softly, "Link, the dark artifact can devour countless souls in one fell swoop, can we resist it?" ”

She looked up at Link with a look of worry in her eyes.

Link's face was also a little solemn, the Devouring Divine Skill of the Dark Serpent, which was up to 20 kilometers away, was simply a nuclear weapon, which could completely destroy a war fortress with one blow, and could be used at a critical moment, and even forcibly reverse the general trend of the war.

This hand, if you don't guard against it, you can't do it.

"This is a very serious problem indeed. When I go back to the south this time, I will contact all the magic masters in the kingdom to discuss how to solve this problem. ”

Anne's voice was soft and uneasy: "Mortal, can you really fight against God?" ”

Link could understand her feelings, patted her on the shoulder, smiled and comforted, "We've already beaten her once, haven't we?" Don't worry, when I get back to the south, I'll try to make more powerful puppets. ”

As if drawing strength from Link's smile, Anne looked much lighter, and she asked expectantly, "When will you come north next time?" ”

"I'll come when I need it."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Anne was smiling happily.

Link turned and walked towards the pens, which contained griffons, which were stamina and not slow, allowing him to get back to the south quickly.

Anne was reluctant and waved goodbye: "Goodbye." ”

Link waved his hand as well, and then walked into the enclosure.

"That chick likes you."

A voice came from the animal pen, Link looked over, but it was Felena, she had been nursing her injuries in the fortress for two days, and her injuries had been healed, and she was leaning against the door of the animal pen at this time, holding her hands on her chest, and looking at Link with a smile on her face.

The armor on Felena's body could be taken back, at this time, in addition to her tall stature, her appearance was similar to that of ordinary human beings, the only difference was her eyes, which were silvery-white and glowing.

To tell the truth, Felena looks very good, her facial features are very three-dimensional, although her figure is tall, her proportions are coordinated, her curves are perfect, and she has a pair of amazing long legs, and the whole person shows a vigorous and wild atmosphere.

Glancing at her, Link avoided the topic of Annie, he knew that Annie liked him, but that didn't mean he had to respond, in his eyes, Annie was just a friend, and responding casually would only hurt her.

He smiled and asked, "Are you waiting for me here?" ”

Felena graciously admitted: "Of course, there is no second Terran in this fortress that is worth waiting for. ”

"Is there something wrong?"

"I heard that you are going back to the south, I will give you a ride, and discuss some things on the way." Felena said.

"Give me a ride?"

"Of course, follow me." Felena turned and walked towards the landing platform at the top of the pens, and Link naturally followed.

When she arrived on the platform, Felena's body showed a fiery red light, which was faint at first, but soon, the flame began to burn, in the flames, Felena's body quickly grew larger, expanded, and finally 'bang', a red dragon with a wingspan of more than 8 meters appeared on the platform, and the griffons on the side were frightened and fled, and the griffin administrator sat on the ground with his buttocks, almost peeing his pants in fright.

Shaking her head, Felena bowed down slightly, turned to Link and said, "Come up." ”

Fortunately, Link had experienced a similar scene in the game, so he wasn't too surprised.

In the game, those players who have gained the favor of the dragons can give these dragons a ride when they need it. It is usually agreed that it is the young dragons who carry the man, as they are usually more open-minded and do not find it an insult.

Link climbed onto the dragon's back and sat down on Felena's neck, his legs just around her neck, just enough to sit down.

Once Link was seated, Felena flapped her wings and flew into the sky, heading straight south.

After flying for a while, Felena smiled: "Magicians are really boring, you seem to know everything, and I can't even scare you like this." ”

"Dragons are no strangers to us, and you are featured in many books." Link laughed, and then he asked, "But I have a question, when you were in the Black Forest, why didn't you change your dragon form and escape, it's much faster than using your legs." ”

Felena pouted: "The sky of the Black Forest is patrolled by the Shadow Giant, and only fools will fly there, I don't want to die yet." Besides, there is that crazy woman chasing after me, and even if I can fly, I can't be as fast as her. ”

"Well, you're right, the Black Forest is dangerous."

"I ask you, how are you going to fight that dark artifact?" Felena asked a similar question to Anne.

"I'm going back to my academy and figuring out a way with the magicians."

"East Valley Academy of Magic?"

"Court magicians are also included, and if possible, the Southern Magicians Federation can also cooperate."

Unexpectedly, Felena laughed when she heard this: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed." As far as I know, the magic background of the Terran magicians is very shallow, your magic history is only 2000 years, and you originally learned it from some high elves, dragons, and Job, and you only learned it superficially, I don't think you can find a usable method from your kind. ”

This is a fact, Link has read history, history records, now their human race is called the Haldu, the rise time is only 3000 years, the first 1000 years are basically barbarians. It wasn't until 2,000 years ago that there was a catastrophe called the 'Magical Cataclysm', in which all races were involved, and magic began to flow from the higher civilizations to the human race.

Until today, although the human race has made many unique achievements in magic, it is still a long way behind the ancient races such as the high elves, dragons, and Job.

Strictly speaking, the Dark Elves are also an ancient race, but their race has undergone many changes and disasters, and many inheritances have disappeared, but in general, they are still stronger than the Terrans.

Link could only say, "I'll try, and if it doesn't work, I'll find another way." ”

"Well, maybe you'll find some inspiration in the pile of old papers." Felena was a little unimpressed, and after flying for a while, she said: "Do you know, in the high magic race, there is a mage organization, called the 'Emerald Ring', there are tens of thousands of members in the organization, and the lowest level of magicians is level 4, of which there are more than 500 magic masters, if you can't find an effective way in the Norton Kingdom, you can try to ask the Emerald Ring for help." ”

Link was stunned and a little dazed, he didn't expect that he had unknowingly come into contact with a high-end mage organization like the 'Emerald Ring'.

In the previous game, when the battle between light and darkness entered the white-hot stage, the Emerald Ring was the main force of magic against the darkness, and Link achieved the pinnacle of legend against Nosamath, one of his identities was the Emerald Councilor. At that time, his position in the Emerald Ring was second only to the leader of the Emerald Ring at the time, Ellett.

"Hey, are you listening?"

Link came back to his senses and nodded, "Thank you for your advice, how do I go about finding the members of the Emerald Ring?" ”

"Go to the Daughter of Destiny, she's a member of the Emerald Ring, and I think she'll be happy to guide you. You know, she thinks highly of you like never before, I've never seen her hold her in such high esteem, I think she's crazy. Felena pouted.

"I see."

The red dragon's flight speed was very fast, and after more than an hour, Felena crossed more than five hundred kilometers and led Link to the edge of the Gwent Forest: "I'll send you here." Remember, in a month, I will pick you up from your territory and take you to Dragon Valley. The queen of my clan has always been interested in you. ”

"Understood, you can go."

Waving goodbye to Felena, Felena circled the sky a few times, whispered a few times, and then turned to leave, while Link turned and walked onto King's Road, all the way to the East Valley School of Magic.

Shockingly, Link did not summon the Storm Wolf, and encountered a carriage on the way, and after paying a silver coin, Link took a place in the servant station behind the carriage, and walked all the way, while listening to the chatter of the two merchants in the carriage, which was quite pleasant.

At first, the two businessmen were talking about business, but a sentence suddenly came out.

"You know what? I heard that Vivier in the south went crazy, killed his mentor in the magic academy, killed more than a dozen magicians, and openly used black magic in White Rock City, killing hundreds of people at once, and finally escaped without a trace. ”

"Hey~ Where did you hear that, don't joke with me, right?"

The other merchant was taken aback and asked what Link was about to say. (To be continued.) )
