Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 193: The Power of Transcending the Gods
Nata's only reaction to Roddy's words was "stunned".
As a weapon that she has used for three years, this short bow has long been familiar to Nata, and after three years of hunting, Nata has already adjusted the attributes of this short bow to the best, and she is already familiar with the position judgment of each arrow when it is fired, so she can't believe Roddy's words at all.
However, for Luo Di, who once "made a bow" and reached the level of "Great Grandmaster", the quality of a bow can basically be divided into seven, seven, eight or eight without shooting in his hands.
The structure of the bow seems simple, but the simpler the thing, the more difficult it is to adjust to the best state - although the wood elves are good at using bows, their technological level cannot be compared with the high elves, even if the bow body already has rough bow windows, but in terms of production technology, it still cannot be compared with humans.
Nata's short bow is strong and has a fast muzzle velocity, but the disadvantage is that it has low forgiveness, and the slightest mistake in the finger will cause the arrow to deviate greatly from the original target, which is only suitable for experienced hunters.
Generally speaking, the longer the bow body, the slower the muzzle velocity, the higher the "forgiveness", and the more stable the trajectory when shooting heavy arrows. The historically famous English longbow is the ultimate in the "stable" type.
Each type of bow has its own characteristics, and Nata's short bow is small and nimble, and it is extremely easy to fire at close range, but in Roddy's eyes, it is still some way from being "at its best".
Nata looked at Roddy in disbelief, and Roddy didn't talk nonsense, he directly unloaded the bowstring and adjusted the short bow in the light of the campfire - he took out the tools he carried with him from his bag, and regardless of whether Nata agreed or not, he directly polished the bow window.
"The wood of this bow is good, but the craftsmanship is relatively rough, and it can even be said to be shoddy." Luo Di lowered his head and polished it, and commented on the bow, "The arc of the bow is too extreme, and the speed of the arrow is too pursued, so the accuracy of the head will naturally be very poor when you use it in the first year, I guess you can control it after two or three years of adaptation, right?" ”
This is the evaluation of a very polite officer, just like an old blacksmith commenting on the weapons forged by novices, Roddy is definitely qualified to make such a statement - but who knows that after saying this, Nata's face changed again and again, and finally revealed a hint of redness, and lowered her head slightly.
She made the bow herself.
Although she admired Roddy's strength, Nata never imagined that he would be so proficient in bows...
Those few comments are extremely impressive, and it can even be said that there are no mistakes
Originally, she only thought that Roddy was pretending to find fault, but now she really didn't dare to talk much, and stood there silently with her head bowed like a Jj child being trained...
"This can't be said to be a disadvantage, each bow has its own characteristics, fast and fast, slow and slow. Weapons are just weapons, and it depends on who uses them. ”
Roddy raised his head, looked at Nata's somewhat bewildered gaze, smiled, and then blew away the debris left on the bow window after polishing, and took out a finger-sized piece of fur from his bag, nailed it with a special iron nail, and made a "beast hair arrow platform" that was very similar to the hunting bow of later generations.
"Water sloth hair, better than horse rump hair."
Roddy explained, but Nata didn't know what it was for. The elves didn't use such an arrow platform at all, so she could only nod her head as if she didn't understand, but her heart was constantly reminding herself to seize the opportunity to remember everything in front of her.
After adjusting the bow window, Roddy polished the edge of the bow blade a little, and then put on the bowstring and adjusted the bow gear... He was quiet and focused on this process, and Nata, who was waiting with bated breath next to him, didn't say anything, but Akasha felt that Roddy's deep gaze filled her heart with a sense of security.
Twenty minutes before and after, Roddy adjusted the bow, and then asked Nata to pull the arrow away and try it, but did not let her shoot the arrow, but picked up the arrow and looked at it, directly removed the arrow, shortened the arrow by a centimeter, and put the arrow back, then pointed to a tree not far away and said: "There is a lizard on it, you can shoot an arrow and try it." ”
Nata hesitated to take the bow and shoot the arrow.
"Whoosh"
The moment the arrow left the string, Nata's expression froze.
The uncontrollable tremor and slight throbbing of the arrow had always been her biggest headache when shooting, but when the arrow flew out, she only felt that the short bow in her left hand only shook slightly, and the arrow spun straight and shot out
Refreshing, unprecedentedly refreshing.
There is no need to fight the bouncing tremor of the bow, there is no need to correct the error of the twisting of the arrow, and all obstacles are almost completely gone
"Duh"
The arrow hits Shuyu, but the arrow is nailed above the lizard - because the efficiency of the bow increases, the rate of fire becomes faster, and the landing point of the arrow also changes, and the arrow misses, which is completely expected by Roddy.
"The Arrow's Nest still needs to be adjusted, but it's about the same."
Roddy recalled the trajectory of the arrow, still not satisfied—while Nata, who was next to her, stared blankly at the arrow nailed to the tree in the distance.
She stood for three or five seconds, and finally said to herself, "What are you talking about?" What could happen for Lang? ”
Following Roddy out of the forest, Nata wanted to learn Roddy's archery, and for other aspects, she didn't think that this human could teach herself - but the reality ruthlessly shattered her pride, so that Nata had to bow her head and be convinced.
"Can you, can you tell me how that was done?"
Nata's tone finally had a hint of waves, and her appearance even surprised Roddy... In his memory, Roddy had never seen this iceberg mentor have such a posture of seeking advice.
However, he will not hide his secrets, and directly began to tell her the principle of the bow itself: ordinary people naturally think that the bow is too simple, and they want to make a bow exert their maximum power, and the doorway is very deep.
"The arrow is bent at the moment it is shot, so its length, material, and center of gravity will affect the landing point and flight speed, your pulling distance determines the length of the arrow, and the pull of the bow determines the winding of the arrow... Oh, it's hard and soft..."
This kind of explanation didn't say much, Luo Di knew that she needed time to digest, but obviously, this elf girl, who was still a little arrogant, was completely calmed by these systematic and well-founded theories, although her expression was still cold, but it invisibly brought a respect.
Luo Di sighed in his heart, I really didn't expect that there would be a day when the mentor would bow his head and listen to his words...
As the night deepened, Nata and Akasha went back to the tent to rest, Roddy sat in front of the campfire to watch the night, from this angle, you can still see Akasha's tent lit up faintly, presumably because she was afraid of the dark and let the ring light up, but apparently she finally stopped pestering herself and was able to sleep alone, and the Huff on her body gradually faded, thinking that it would take a while to fully recover.
Roddy looked at the orange charcoal fire and thought about it, but turned out two notebooks.
One is a notebook left behind by the demon hunter Dukal, and the other is a copy of The Nature of Energy borrowed from Brudy.
Flipping through the notebook, the high elf text on it was a little sloppy, but looking at the format, he knew that it was a diary, Roddy frowned slightly, and read the first article roughly, and found that the content was roughly about some of Dukal's experiences in domesticating the snake king Sakya, and there was no other important information.
So he put down the book and flipped up "The Nature of Energy" - and the first sentence at the beginning made him stunned immediately:
"Arcane, beyond the power of the gods."
Affirmative sentences, not interrogative sentences, Roddy can even see the arrogance in the high-elf essay that walks the dragon and snake.
The next day, Parl.
The territory that the Duke of Angmar gave to Sodrore was not large, and in terms of area, it was not at all comparable to the big nobles such as Viscount Tranca or Count Tata, but as a "baron", the Parr Domain, which owned a market town and nine villages, was definitely in the middle in terms of resources.
"Parr" is a riverside town, and the size of Kig is not comparable. Residents have lived a peaceful life for many years, paying taxes and farming. A few large shops support the façade of the town, and in terms of economic level, it is countless times better than Nolan Village.
As the weather gets colder, there are fewer people moving around in the morning, but in the heart of the territory, the townspeople are accustomed to the neat footsteps and slogans of the early morning – nearly a hundred soldiers rumble around the town every day in armor, and when the sun is fully up, they go to the school grounds and begin their daily training
This was unheard of before.
In this day and age, except for the great lord and the royal family, the rest of the nobles have never had a standing army, let alone heard of the cavalry that drills all day... So at first all the common people were troubled: Is the kingdom going to war?
But a month passed, and the news from all around told them that the Karen Kingdom was still stable, and there was no sign of war at all.
Therefore, the new lord of Sodrol became a "joke", and was even privately called a "war maniac" and a "madman" by the farmers.
"Those lunatics are training again."
"It's ridiculous that the lord seems to be running with him again."
"I heard that they were just a group of border scouts before, I guess they were scared by that group of ringing horses, and they don't dare to relax now, right?"
"Who knows? Rushing around every day, the momentum looks quite scary..."
"What age is it, and there is no war..."
The commoners did not understand the strange style of this lord at all, and similar comments had been going on for more than a month. But no matter what they said, the new lord Sodrol did not give any explanation, but assigned the affairs of the territory to the new steward, and then participated in training in the school field all day, not enjoying life at all, but it seemed that it was even harder than the average soldier.
Because he was trained individually by the Wellington Knights
