Chapter 56: An Interpretation of an Ancient Poem

With Yuegui's memory as a foundation, Shen Yan easily combined the elves' method of making bows and arrows with modern knowledge (of course, it is convenient, because Penny is mainly doing it). In addition, with the increase in Shen Yan's strength, Penny was already able to control small pieces of metal for meticulous processing, and Shen Yan moved his mouth to "make" a qualified recurve bow with his own hands - at least in the eyes of outsiders.

That's a surprising thing!

You know that...... The clumsy prince palace actually made another strange bow, and he didn't even hurt himself! This is enough to make today's headlines!

And although his bow looks strange, it unexpectedly makes people feel very good!

We know that the natives of this world are exceptionally tall and strong, and they are obviously more able to eat than earthlings. Due to the backward agricultural technology, the food produced on the land of this world is simply not enough for people to eat after paying taxes. Fortunately, because this world is full of magic, both animals and monsters have solid muscles and fat fat, which solves a large problem of food needs for the aborigines. The sparsely populated peninsula was full of good hunting grounds, and the nobles couldn't control this for the time being, so hunting became popular.

(The Three Northern Kingdoms may have secretly contributed to this for the purpose of defending against the demon tide and for the convenience of conscription.) )

This is where a convoy of fugitives like Milton dares to go on the road with a third of the food. Therefore, not counting those who are skilled hunters, ordinary people are also proficient in the use of bows and arrows. It's just that a good pair of bows and arrows costs a lot of money, and it takes months to make, so it's hard for people who don't make a living from it to grit their teeth and buy one. Therefore, when the news spread that Shen Yan had built a pair of bows and arrows in two days, everyone was surprised.

Shen Yan is now using this to practice the recurve bow he made, and pondering how to improve it.

Now the core technology of the recurve bow is in the bow, and the core technology of the bow lies in material science and multi-layer structure - composite materials are used to combine and complement each other to achieve high performance that cannot be achieved by a single material. On the surface, there seem to be millions of such combinations. In fact, there are not so many at all, Shen Yan sandwiched the "elf cork" between the two layers of metal sheets, and the energy storage effect is surprisingly good.

The main body of the bow structure is a multi-layer superimposed "swamp lion alloy", so Shen Yan simply named this bow "swamp lion". The bow blade used for practice is only stacked in three layers, and the strength is about 35 pounds (single piece), which is mainly used to develop the sense of arrow. As his physical workout intensifies, he can stack the blade onto a single piece of 70 pounds or more of stretch at any time.

Changing the blades improves performance and adapts to a variety of applications, which is also a major feature of recurve bows.

"He's getting worse and worse."

In the distance, Ozmat, who was quietly observing Lu Yuan, said very worriedly to Catherine, who was leaning over.

"yes, I wouldn't be surprised that he fainted suddenly." Catherine, who had just returned to the camp and came to visit, was also worried about Shen Yan.

Shen Yan's state is so bad that it is obvious to all - don't look at Shen Yan practicing very hard, but he is regressing on the whole - for example, the effective range of the arrow is decreasing (because the pulley bow is more labor-efficient, and he is only 35 pounds of the bow blade now), and more importantly, the accuracy is also decreasing (he did not use infrared aiming), so many phenomena are not enough to worry people?

"Isn't there another reason?" Ozmat stole a glance at Catherine, "Everyone said it was you...... Yesterday I heard a strange sound in the neighborhood, and it was said that "I checked my body or something", so is this your new way of playing? ”

"Fart! I didn't play that kind of game! Catherine was furious, "If the old lady really had fun, she still needs a fart excuse, and I'll just admit it—but why do you all know I'm busy cleaning up the swamp and still put this pot on my head?!" ”

Due to the damage caused by the swamp lion attack on the camp, the camp focused on cleaning up the perimeter in the direction of the swamp, and it turned out that they really found a large number of strange swamp creatures in that area!

The patrol team has not been able to go deep into the swamp for the time being, and Catherine, who is responsible for leading the team to clean up, roughly divides the creatures they encounter into several varieties such as swamp water ghosts, swamp banshees, swamp crocodiles, etc., according to their appearance and strength, all of which are water erosion monsters. Fortunately, during the clearing process, the swamp lion was not encountered for the time being, which made the cleaning team breathe a sigh of relief.

Although these swamp creatures are filthy and smelly, and their blood is acidic and inedible, they are popular with the camp. The Swamp Lion is at the top of the "Monster Expectation List", but it takes a lot of strength to deal with the Swamp Lion!

Shen Yan had long pointed out their true value - on average, five or six swamp creatures could find a small elemental crystal. And an adult swamp lion is equal to half a boat, and the business is simply very profitable - there is a tendency to become a pillar industry in Green Horn.

It is said that Milton gave instructions overnight asking the patrol to leave some seeds for the swamp monsters, and not to kill them all at once! Clean up a wave of swamp creatures every winter, and you can have a fertile year! Compared to such a huge profit, the camp is worth taking a little risk. Shen Yan has long said that Milton is a profiteer, and sooner or later he will pit himself into it for the sake of profit.

"Then how did you say Shen Yan made himself look like this ghost? Is it someone else, or is it himself...... Ahem. Truth be told, Catherine. If so, I really hope that person is you, and you can at least persuade him to be more modest. "Lizard Ranger's words are simply heart-wrenching, old iron!

"How am I ...... Fuck off! Catherine pushed the Ranger unhappily and left angrily!

She gritted her teeth all the way, wishing that she would drag the thief out and ask him why he looked like he was guarding me so hard that he couldn't die...... Am I worse than your left hand?

You might really be worse than his left hand-

Shen Yan didn't know that the rumors outside about him jerking off or Catherine had gone crazy, and Shen Yan had nephritis, as if he was going to leave and return to the West in the next moment.

*****

"Milton, that's all I can do for you." The Lizard Ranger touched his chin and said helplessly. He wasn't laughing at Catherine just now, but encouraging her to be more proactive...... For this reason, he even did not hesitate to pour a large basin of dirty water on Shen Yan's body. Shen Yan's appearance was obviously due to lack of sleep and excessive fatigue, and God knows that the rumors were spread into kidney deficiency.

And the protagonist of the rumor of "checking the body" is certainly not Shen Yan - Omar said that he listened to it personally for an afternoon and had the right to speak.

That's right, it was Milton's bad idea again.

This man...... If he's not smart enough and careful, he'll be cranky and foolish, like Milton. Shen Yan has been in a bad state recently, Milton sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart! He was always worried that Shen Yan wanted to leave, so he pondered finding a woman to tie him up, so he started Catherine's idea!

Although Catherine is a standard female man, everyone treats her as a brother. But if there is one of the women in Green Horn who stands out the most - if Curtis does not approve of women's clothing - it is Catherine! Who is she not going to do this task?

Originally, Milton was not sure about this matter beforehand. Therefore, he specially invited the "detective think tank" Ozmat for life counseling.

"What's wrong with Shen Yan lately? Did you notice any bad signs? ”

As a result, Omar gave him a very reliable answer very deeply, Omar said: "I recently went to ask Shen Yan, and he said something!" That sentence...... Let the men hear the silence, and the women listen to the tears. ”

Milton said to himself, "Damn, where did you learn all these quips?" Shen Yan: Is that talking or reciting a mantra to you? But he can't spray on his mouth, he is a consultant. can only ask honestly, "Then what did Shen Yan say?" ”

"As if to taste the melancholy, Omar looked to the distant top of the snow-capped mountains—the wind was blowing his scales, and a touch of sadness was mixed in his melancholy eyes," he said, and his homeland could not look back at the bright moon. ”

This time, even Milton was suppressed! What does this say...... Even he, an unrelated person, feels so congested when he listens to it!

After a while, Milton let out a faint sigh.

“…… Alas, he really still wants to return to the country. ”

"yes, that's it!"

Is it a yarn?

Where did you get the confidence to follow the nod?

If Shen Yan wants to hear it, he has to spray Omar's face!

The background of that sentence was that Shen Yan was wandering between two kinds of "memories", and the lives of Yue Gui and Shen Yan were intertwined in everything, making him feel the life emotion caused by the chaos of time and space. After sighing, the matter is over, and it has nothing to do with the restoration of the country or anything!

Shen Yan began to feel distressed about this - how long do we have to play with the prince stalk? To restore the country, I first have to have a country to restore, right?

The most terrible thing is that a lie repeated a thousand times will turn into truth. Shen Yan even had a suspicion that if he continued to misunderstand like this, sooner or later, he would be forced by these people to restore the country that didn't exist at all! How to break it then? Where am I going to find a country to restore to them?
