Chapter 35: Borrow My Gun
The army, in any case, is respected by strength. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After experiencing it firsthand, Benjamin realized this even better.
With the help of the shooting interface that the system didn't know how to come up, he shocked the entire musket battalion with one shot, and the attitude of these recruits towards him was like a roller coaster. There was no more ridicule in their eyes, there was a lot of respect and admiration, and even a little bit of jealousy occasionally.
Benjamin is a little weak about this.
Unlike these people who train hard, he relies entirely on external forces, which is not a glorious one. If it weren't for the shooting interface that suddenly appeared, he would have lost the adult, but as soon as he got his hands on the gun at that time, he wanted to shoot it as soon as his brain was hot, and he couldn't regret it after the muzzle was raised, so he could only catch the duck on the shelf.
Therefore, after pretending to be a little forced, he quickly clamped his tail and behaved in a low-key manner.
Facts have also proved that he was very right to do so. Because soon, he was tortured half to death.
Even in the shootout battalion, physical training is essential for a soldier – regardless of whether you are a recruit or veteran. This morning, except for the first shot, Benjamin never touched the gun again. The middle-aged man put the gun back, let Benjamin join the team, and began training.
The training content is Nima's running lap.
"A bunch of rabbit cubs, their hair has not grown and they still want to touch the gun? Have you never heard of others, this thing of a gun can kill people! I am doing this for your good, and you will know that you will thank me when the time comes!"
That's the middle-aged man, their instructor, saying.
Benjamin couldn't help but complain in his heart. The most dangerous thing is obviously you! Pin a gun without a safety to your waist, and you will either collapse the egg or burst the chrysanthemum.
However, only he, a half-"recruit", thinks so. Looking at the appearance of other people, it is the instructor's order that is bigger than the sky, and the instructor is right to do everything. Obedience to this vocation is also carried out quite thoroughly.
No way, Benjamin is not a soldier, he is here for military training, and it is difficult to ask for single-mindedness like a real soldier. He was a mage, and if he didn't have the ability to think for himself and the spirit to question everything, then he might as well convert to the church now.
Soon, he was singled out by the instructor.
"The last one in the line, come out!"
After running more than ten laps, Benjamin, who was almost in collapse, walked towards the middle-aged man.
"It wasn't very powerful just now, where did that energy go? The fastest people have run twenty laps, what are you rubbing behind?" The instructor slashed his head and covered his face for a while, "Where did you use all your strength?
Benjamin held his knee and gasped for a moment, then said, "I really didn't eat ......"
"Before you talk to your superiors, you must call the report to the chief!" Before he could finish speaking, the instructor immediately interrupted him, "Go back!
“......”
Benjamin, staggering, walked back to the running queue first, and then came out again, came back to the instructor, and with all his strength to feed, shouted:
"Report sir, I really haven't eaten!"
“......”
The scene was very awkward for a while.
The expression on the instructor's face seemed a little uncontrollable, and after several efforts, he finally maintained that fierce face, and yelled at Benjamin: "There is a reason for not eating! Will the enemy show mercy to you because you have not eaten? Go back! Keep running! Don't want to eat if you can't finish a hundred laps!"
In the end, Benjamin was lying out of the barracks.
All morning, Benjamin felt like he had run more than he had in the first half of his life. Fortunately, the maid who had brought him had also called a carriage at the gate of the barracks at noon and took Benjamin back, otherwise he would have fallen on the way home.
Back at the Reeser family, he didn't even have the strength to go to the living room to have lunch with the others, so he had to go back to his bedroom, where he collapsed in bed and couldn't get up again. He asked Jeremy to bring him some loaves of bread and solved his hunger by lying in bed.
After eating the bread, he drove Jeremy off on an errand and left him alone in the bedroom, tempting to fall asleep.
But he didn't, he still cheered up, entered the consciousness space, and began today's magic cultivation.
It's a daily lesson that must never be stopped.
During this period of meditation, the triangular characters have almost changed. Its light changes from pale blue to deep blue, as if it contains infinite magic, and there is a dizzying mystery. And the water balloon summoned by it was bigger than Aix Fur's fat head.
Benjamin estimated that if the water balloon in his hand was compressed and smashed out, it would be completely possible to stun a strong adult male unless there was a thick armor to resist it.
From washing people's faces to punching people, this trick can be regarded as the first scale.
Not only that, but as the triangle character is enhanced, Benjamin feels that his control over magic is getting stronger little by little. The speed of summoning water balls is getting faster and the control of water balls is getting stronger.
He was now more adept at using water balloons, simulating a defensive blister around him. Of course, the defense of the blister is far from enough, although it will not burst with a single poke, but if you take a sharp object, you can still easily break it.
Benjamin wasn't happy with that, he was going to use it to fight mages and clerics. Even mortal swords can't stop it, so how can we talk about defensive magic? Any knight can break it, let alone "cleaners".
I have to keep practicing!
As for the therapeutic effect of water polo, Benjamin also studied it for a while. He deliberately used more than twenty spells, and finally summoned a few drops of water of life to observe the difference between water of life and water balloon.
After observation, he discovered that the water element in the water of life was combined in a very special structure, a bit like a strange cube. With this structure, the water element group will emerge with a wonderful vitality. It is this life force that brings the healing power of the water of life.
Applying this to water polo, Benjamin found that it was very difficult to control the water element at the microscopic level. Thankfully, with the help of the triangle characters, he managed to create a water balloon with healing powers. It's just that this structure is still difficult to maintain, and the "shelf life" of the healing ability is very short, about ten seconds.
How to make a healing water balloon that can be stored for a long time can only wait for the characters to be further enhanced.
In this way, from attack to defense to healing, although the level is not high, Benjamin has begun to grow in all directions, and new skill points are waiting not far ahead. This is a period of rapid growth that belongs to his strength.
He couldn't wait to forget to sleep and eat, and put all his time on continuing to cultivate.
If there is no "military training" in the future.
Although it will take up a lot of time, and it depends on the face of the gun, Benjamin does not resist military training. It's just that, judging from today's training, he is still far from touching the gun, and he doesn't know how many days he has to run.
However, in the past, his physical fitness should be able to improve slowly.
"By the way, how far have the guns in this world developed?" Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly asked the system.
The system thought for a moment and replied, "Generally, how to say it...... It's just that there are pistols, cannons, rifles, and pistols can be reloaded, and the power is okay, but it's not very important. ”
Benjamin frowned: "It feels like you said it as if you didn't say it." ”
The system was immediately unhappy, and retorted confidently: "I can't connect to the Internet here, and I'm not Baidu Encyclopedia, so you know everything when I do?"
“...... All right. Benjamin had no choice but to accept it.
He also wanted to say if he could rely on the information of the system to improve the pistol and build an AK27 or something.
But it's also true, who can store so much information in their computer that is just right. He was also curious about how the time-traveling protagonists in those novels memorized so many contemporary scientific principles. Why do people casually promote the process of science and technology after crossing over, and they are engaged in chemistry and artillery, but they can't even make soap themselves.
It's good to have an author who is diligent and willing to search Baidu for information.
Envy.
Fortunately, the system may also want to prove itself useful, so the next step is to introduce the general situation of firearms in this world.
After listening to the system's answer, he realized that the status of the gun was not as high as he imagined.
According to the system, as a world with supernatural abilities, magic and divine magic are the dominant ones here, and it is not only unleashed in war, but also those enchanted swords and blessed armor. Ordinary bullets can't even break a blessed shirt, let alone a shield of magic. Divine magic can also bless bullets, but that consumes too much, so generally only bless the "bullets" of the cannon.
To add up, magic or magic enchanted pistols are useless, unless you knock people with a pistol.
Although many countries also have gun battalions in their armies, they are only used as a supplementary long-range means, and they are not valued and their status is inferior to that of artillery.
Therefore, pistols are generally used by some agile mercenaries, and are also used by wealthy nobles and merchants for self-defense. Like the gun that Dick was holding that day, it should have been stolen from his own house.
This is the case with pistols in the hands of ordinary people, but it is different with Benjamin.
He has that shooting system that came out of a page game, and it's not a problem to hit every shot. As for power, enchantment or something, he can learn it later. Therefore, shooting is still very useful for him.
At least, before his water balloon can be used in seconds, shooting is still his most direct and effective means of attack.
Of course, all this is premised on his guns.
He'll have to find a chance to get a gun.
The state prohibits the sale of guns on the surface, but in fact it does not matter. Every nobleman would hide a gun or two, and the Reese family was no exception. Benjamin had thought about stealing the family's gun, but if the gun was missing, it would definitely be found, and it would be a lot of trouble at that time, so he had to give up.
What he needed was a gun that only he knew and that he could keep by his side all the time.
After thinking about it, in the end, he decided to go to the outer city to buy a gun.
Havenley is the largest city on the mainland, while the outtown occupies three-quarters of its size. Although it is also the base of the church, over the years the church has focused on its outward expansion, so that some parts of the outer town of Havenley can even be called chaotic.
By calling Jeremy several times, Benjamin's knowledge of the out-of-town has increased considerably. Once, when Jeremy returned, he told Benjamin that he had stumbled upon a place where guns were being sold. Therefore, Benjamin's trip to the outer city is not a blind touch.
He wasn't afraid the church would know that. The people of the church were always by his side, and although he didn't watch it closely, if he wanted to buy a gun, it was impossible to get rid of them.
The bishop would surely have known that he went to buy a gun, but so what?
In the bishop's eyes, he was a terrified aristocrat. Especially after what happened in the castle, it is normal to go to a place like the black market and secretly buy a gun out of fear of witches and the idea of protecting yourself.
As long as the church doesn't know about his relationship with magic, it won't be suspicious of him.
As for the possible dangers in the outer city. As long as he is in the open air, he doesn't go into any small room. There were church people who watched, and he didn't believe what danger could happen.
Coupled with the pendant given to him by the church, he has the ability to protect himself at this moment. Although there is still a certain amount of risk, if he doesn't dare to take this risk, what kind of traverser is he? After all, a pistol is still quite important to him.
However, out of the safety side, he still planned to sneak into Claude's study first, and with the help of memory, steal Claude's hidden pistol, and borrow it for a while. When you buy your own gun, return it.
In this way, after lying in bed and practicing for an afternoon, the soreness in my body recovered a lot. After dinner, he managed to steal the gun in his study, and then slipped out of the Reeser family at night.
He set out for the outskirts of Havenley, where guns were supposedly bought and sold.
