Chapter 43: The Master of Bow and Arrow
A week later, Sugar Candy's swordsmanship training was complete. Leviatan never thought that a girl would have such a talent in learning swordsmanship, except that her strength was not very strong, and she learned all her skills and experience in seven days.
"There's nothing you can learn from me other than more arm strength. Leviatan said.
"Can you have the strength of a knight?" asked Sugarcandy.
"No......" Leviatan didn't know how to tell Sugar Candy, he was just entrusted by Lu Jingzhi to teach Sugar Candy swordsmanship.
"Teacher Leviatan, teach me everything you know. Sugar Candy stared at Leviatan's ugly face, but his eyes looked like he was looking at a lollipop.
Leviatan was helpless, on the one hand, he didn't get the permission of his master, and on the other hand, he was a lovely apprentice, and he kept grinding to learn more. On second thought, although the master did not agree to teach himself, he did not object. Anyway, I have nothing to do in the castle all day, so I might as well teach the young lady to shoot arrows.
"Do you have a bow?" asked Leviatan.
"No, don't you have it?" Tangtang was stunned, how to study, she had to bring her own teaching aids.
"Nope. Levia said frankly. Even the Roman short sword was not his own, it was taken out by Lu Jingzhi in the warehouse and given to him.
"Alas!" Sugar Candy sighed and sat down at Leviatan's feet.
Yinxin saw that Miss was unhappy, for fear that she would be affected, so she hurriedly came over and said, "Miss, the master carpenter doesn't know if he can make a bow." ”
Wake up the dreamer with a word, Sugar Candy got up and shouted excitedly, "Yes, Yinxin, you are so smart." Go and get the master carpenter. ”
Yinxin was speechless for a while, Miss Tangtang was gentle and considerate, and cared for her subordinates, but when she thought of any good idea, she would say: Yinxin, this method is really good, you can do it quickly. It's the same this time, Silverheart, you go and call the master carpenter. Well, who made our silver heart a messenger.
Sugar Candy naturally didn't know about Silver Heart's belly, and patted Leviatan's leg and said, "You teach me the trick of archery first." ”
Levia said: "There is no trick to learning archery, which is different from practicing the body, and the feel of archery is practiced. This is true, each arrow has a different shaft and arrow, and there are no two arrows that are exactly the same. No matter how light or heavy, you can shoot an arrow accurately, which is the feeling that can only be practiced after shooting countless arrows.
"Okay. Sugar Candy pursed her mouth and ran to the side to sit in a daze, waiting for the master carpenter to come.
The master carpenter soon came, he originally belonged to the people under Lu Jingzhi's organization, and there were no temporary things sent to him in the castle, so he was idle all day long. If it's okay, I ran out to get a tree and came back, sawing and shaping, and made a wooden plate armor for Miss Sugar Candy a few days ago, although it can't really block the sword and sword, but it also looks like that. In the carpenter's heart, if he can make Miss Sugar Candy happy, then he will not be in vain with his own knight.
"Uncle Carpenter!" Sugar Candy jumped up for joy when she saw the master carpenter coming, "Make me a bow." I want to learn archery. ”
The master carpenter looked black and said, "Miss, I really haven't done this before." ”
Leviatan said impatiently, "Human, show me your tools." ”
The master carpenter was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly handed over the cloth bag he was carrying and said, "Yes, yes." My lord, this is my tool. "Although Leviatan is a ranger, his current status as a knight's servant is much higher than his status as a human slave. In the castle of the Duke of Windsor, even if he is a craftsman, he is a slave. If it weren't for Bergo's eagerness to get into the heart of money and want Lu Jingzhi to make money for him to complete the tax task faster, I'm afraid that Lu Jingzhi would still be a slave now. However, being able to be promoted from an infantry class to a knight class in just half a year is an unprecedented speed in the Duke of Windsor's castle.
Leviatan, regardless of what the master carpenter thought, took the tools and took a closer look, and they were quite complete, but he only picked out what he wanted to use, and threw the rest back to the carpenter.
"A good archer must also be a good bow maker. Remember this phrase that has been passed down among archers, and you will use it. Leviatan said. Then he found a piece of wood with good toughness and processed it. Although his hands are not flexible, he is skilled, simply pinching the wood with one hand, pinching the planer with the other, brushing and brushing a few times, and the bow is planed out. The planed bow body was polished, and two short strips of ice fruit wood were added on both sides of the bow body. Ice Fruit Wood is the hardest common wood in the undead world, and although large pieces of Ice Fruit Wood are rare, small sticks of wood are still easy to find. After adding the ice fruit wood strips, the bow body becomes hard in the middle and flexible at the ends. Cow tendon is used to make bowstrings, but there are very few cows here, so it is almost impossible to find cow tendon. But here is a young sunflower, its leaves are thick, and when broken, white juice comes out, which quickly coagulates and repairs damaged leaves. Collect the juice and put it in a long groove, and it will become a thread with good elasticity and toughness, and hundreds of such threads can be made into a good bowstring.
Leviatan simply wrapped the bowstring around the notches at the ends of the bow, which had been carefully chiseled out from the side to hang the strings, and he pinched the bowstring and tried the force, handing it to Sugarcang.
Sugar Candy took the bow and used all the strength of his body, but he only pulled it halfway. When I tried again, I was still like this, and I asked in frustration, "Is this bow going to be so hard?" I watched the bows on TV that could be pulled away with a single pull. ”
Levia said frankly: "It's not that this bow is hard, it's that your strength is not strong enough, and you are still too small." "This chick is only a little over seven years old, and she can pull a half-bow, and if she trains herself to be twelve, she must be a marksman.
Sugar Candy nodded, and suddenly asked, "What about the arrows?"
Leviatan smiled and said, "You practice drawing the bow first, and I'll do the arrows for you." As he spoke, he continued to split the wood with the tools of the master carpenter, straightened and rounded, then polished it smooth, and then made arrowheads out of ice fruit wood and mounted them in front. Such an arrow is not accurate, and there must be feathers behind the arrow, but fortunately it is not far from the Black Forest, and blood crows can be seen everywhere, as long as you get some tail feathers of blood crows.
The twelve Blood Crow Feather Ice Fruit Wood Feather Arrows were quickly ready, and Sugar Candy still had no choice but to pull the bow at once, at most half a bow at a time. Although you can shoot like this, you can't shoot it after all, and you can't get it accurate.
Suddenly, Leviatan saw that the little girl was blessed to the heart, turned sideways, held the bow in her left hand, drew the string with her right hand, twisted her waist and pushed forward, and the bow was pulled by her to the fullest. Although it was a simple light bow, it was very difficult for a child of Sugar Candy's size to pull it apart, and their arm strength was nowhere near the level of this bow. But Tangtang twisted her waist and used her waist strength, which was in line with the essence of cohesion in the Han martial arts, and she was completely full.
Sugar Candy held the bow with her left hand at shoulder level, and her right index finger, middle finger and ring finger clasped the bowstring and pulled it to her chin, and her eyes looked directly at the target from the bow, motionless, but her mouth shouted happily, "Teacher Leviatan, you see me pull away." ”
If Leviatan had an eyeball, he would have stared out, and if his jaw had moved, he would have hit the instep of his foot in surprise. Is this girl a prodigy who practices martial arts? The swordsmanship was learned in less than a week, and the bow was mastered in less than half a day.
"Teacher Leviatan, am I not doing it right?" Sugar Candy didn't dare to relax at all, for fear that the teacher wouldn't notice her appearance.
Leviatan was no longer surprised, and hurriedly taught her the essentials of releasing the arrow: "Pull back with your right hand, then relax the fingers that pull the string and let the bowstring bounce back on its own." ”
Although the bow in Sugarcandy's hand had no arrows, she still did it meticulously, and according to the method taught by Leviatan, she easily opened the three fingers of the right hand to hold the string, only to hear a soft bang, and the bowstring flicked back.
"If there is an arrow, you have it. "Well done, little girl," said Leviatan. ”
Sugar Candy heard this, and her heart was overjoyed. "Have I learned how to shoot an arrow? Mr. Leviatan, can I use a bow and arrow?"
Leviatan shook his head and said regretfully, "It's not enough, your arm strength is still much worse." If you were asked to shoot three quick shots, you would be out of force. Your arms can only support two open bows. ”
Tangtang nodded, oh, and said, "No wonder I feel so sore and soft in my arms." "Open the bow twice, if you can hit accurately, at least you can help Brother Jing kill two threats. If you add that Roman short sword, maybe one more won't be a problem.
On this day, Sugar Candy was just practicing aiming, and Leviathan wanted her to practice aiming as easily as breathing. She was almost there, barely enough to raise her bow in a breath and aim at her target.
"Aside from strength, you're almost a good archer. "You are quick with your bow and have a good look, little girl. ”
Silverheart posed with the young lady on the side, but Leviatan didn't even look at her.
That's a stupid woman, and she can't even get half of Miss Sugarcandy. He was unsteady on his feet, his bow was not held accurately, and the fishline was held in the palm of his hand, so that the arrow he shot could be accurate and ghost-even though he was a ghost. In any case, that silverheart guy can only be regarded as a diligent fool.
In Leviatan's view, there are four kinds of people in this world: lazy fools, lazy smart people, diligent fools, and hard-working smart people. The strongest are lazy, who will always let smart people break their legs for themselves. The second is lazy and intelligent people, who will always find the easiest and most suitable way to let others share the work for themselves. Again, it is the diligent and intelligent people who accumulate their diligence and will always succeed. The worst are the hard-working fools, who will always make something worse even worse.
"Okay, that's all for today's training, starting tomorrow, I'm going to train you stamina. Leviatan said, driving the two girls away, taking the carpenter's tools, finding the wood, and continuing to make bows and arrows.
Maybe it's time for Miss Sugar to go in the direction of the hunter. The Undead Ranger looked at the wood in his hand, looked up and said to the master carpenter waiting on the side, "You, human, go outside and find more of this kind of mulberry elm." I'm going to make more bows and arrows. ”
The poor master carpenter waited for a long time, but did not get his tool bag back, but went back to his lodgings, carrying a large saw, to cut wood outside the castle.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
