Chapter 35: To Borrow or Not to Borrow
The recoil of this powerful musket is far from being manageable. Not only is Kadel's ability to control it so well, but his strong arm strength is just one of the reasons.
His height is also a key factor, and his short stature may be a disadvantage in general, but it is an advantage in shooting. Because the chassis is low, the center of gravity is also low. Then it is easier for him to control the recoil when firing than Karl.
"I heard you say that the ultimate range of this gun is 500 meters, so I'll try it again. With that, he took a sniper bullet from Orel's pocket.
After loading, he aimed at the rock about 500 meters away, "See? I'm going to hit the rock in the distance." ”
After looking in the direction he was aiming at for a long time, Carl was sure that the stone he was talking about was almost the limit of what the naked eye could see.
"The bullet should have passed through the center of the rock. He said.
Then there was a bang, and the bullet burst through the air.
Although Aurel didn't speak, his hands were sweaty from his grip, and he was more nervous than anyone else. If it succeeds, it means that his research on weapons has reached a new peak.
"Great!" Karl saw a puff of white smoke coming out of the stone, "Shoot every shot, you can be called a sharpshooter!
"Hmph, little meaning. Caddell rubbed his nose, "Let's go over and see how powerful the bullets are." ”
The three of them walked briskly towards the rock in unison.
Sure enough, there was a small hole in the very center of the stone, and the bullet penetrated the whole of the rock, and then exploded in the back of the rock, forming a swirl-shaped crater. The back of the rock had been blown to pieces, the largest of which was the size of a thumb, and there were still sporadic flames in the grass.
"What a good gun!" Cadell exclaimed, "Big brother, it seems that your hard work for so many years has not been in vain, and you have really made a good gun!"
"Hmph, don't come with me. ”
"Big brother, this gun ......"
"Stop. Aurel said: "I know about you going to borrow a laser gun, so you don't want to shoot this gun." ”
Karl said: "Brother Aurel, if Brother Cader helps us test the gun, I'm afraid the next research will be much easier." ”
"What, are you talking for him?"
"That's right, don't you want to know how this gun performs in actual combat?" Karl looked into Orel's eyes, knowing that this sentence had a role, and continued: "Brother Carder told me that he borrowed the gun this time to save people, a person who is very important to him. I feel like we should support him. ”
"None of the friends he made were good people, and they deserved to die. ”
Khader was about to get angry when he heard this, but Carl stopped him, "This time it's different, he's trying to save a woman." ”
"Women?"
"Yes, the woman he loves. ”
Aurel glanced at Kadr, "You...... That can't be borrowed, and if you can't borrow, you can't borrow. ”
"Why can't you borrow it?" asked Karl.
"You have to rely on your own ability to save people, and you borrow a gun...... That's not called ability. ”
"But if we have this gun, the odds will be much greater, and isn't it just for us to build a gun, now is the time when we need it most!"
Khadell followed, "Yes, yes!"
"I can't tell you. "However, this is the rule of the goblin family, and all weapons are not allowed to be taken out of the castle. ”
"What's so hard about that, don't we just let people know?" Karl said, "And Brother Carder is your own brother, and the person you saved will be your own brother and sister in the future, if you refuse to borrow it, it will be too unkind." ”
"That's right. "Brother Karl said exactly what I wanted to say. ”
"If it is known that the goblin family is researching secret weapons, it will bring trouble to the entire family, and I can't afford this crime. ”
"Well, who knows. Karl said: "Think about it, with this gun, you can kill people thousands of miles away, and no one will be able to see this gun at that time, they don't even know how they died, how can they suspect the head of the goblin family." ”
"And take a step back, even if they see this gun, they don't know this, who hasn't seen it, who knows what it is?" Karl continued: "Among the enemies that Big Brother Cardel is going to face this time, there are more than a dozen magicians, if they can really solve all the opponents, then it means that the gun we studied is really powerful." ”
"You're so impatient, even a magician dares to provoke you!" Orel reprimanded, "You don't look at your own catties, and you do it with a magician, isn't that against the Radiant Empire?"
In order to graduate, the magicians of the Radiant Empire must swear allegiance to the Empire, and only by joining the Empire's magician system and obtaining a number can they seek higher development. Therefore, every magician is considered a public official of the Radiant Empire, and attacking a magician is tantamount to committing chaos.
"Ahem. Karl cleared his throat: "Brother Orel, have you forgotten, am I not the one who committed the trouble? I, Karl, the most wanted criminal in the entire Radiant Empire, the one who attacked the cardinal magician. The goblin family shielded me, which is tantamount to harboring the murderer, and according to the law, I should be guilty of the same crime. So, we ...... Well, I won't say much about that later. ”
"No, why does it make more sense the more you say it?"
"Because I'm right, it makes sense. Most of those magicians are not good things, and this time they should be punished for taking people's love. I think Big Brother Kader dares to fight for his life this time, so we should give him the greatest support!"
Aurel didn't speak, but he held the powerful musket in his arms tighter, and he couldn't argue with Carl.
"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that my range of activities was limited and I couldn't leave the castle without permission, I would have wanted to go with Big Brother Kader to save people. Seeing that Orel didn't speak, Karl continued, "Even if you don't borrow it, Big Brother Kader will have to go this time. How could he be a magician's opponent with his bare hands? If he goes, he will die, and he will die because you refuse to borrow a gun, and you really want to watch Brother Cader go to his death, and he will not be saved when he dies?"
"How can your mouth say that. "Aurel felt like he had committed a great sin, but he didn't do anything, he just didn't want to borrow a gun. "I'll borrow, can't I borrow? But there's one, you've got to bring this gun back to me in one piece!"
"Hey!" said Kadel, who was too busy to get his gun.
"I can't give it to you yet!"
"Why?"
Aurel said, "When are you leaving?"
"Nine days later is the day of the wedding, and I have to arrive before that. ”
"There are still so many days. Orel handed the gun to his brother: "Until then, practice the gun no matter what, and remember to bring it back to me intact when the time comes." ”
"Hey!"
