Chapter 36: Test the Arrow
"Your Highness, where is this?" Riley asked, holding a large roll of sheepskin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The castle was busy early this morning, not for any major event, but because Lyon finally decided to move the administrative hall out.
Most of the people in the castle who could be used were sent out, and the guards, maids, Riley, and Emma all took action.
Leon stood in the hall and kept directing, this one was placed on the left shelf, that one was placed in the second compartment, this one was not used to move, and that one was misplaced......
After a busy half of the morning, the new administrative hall came out.
The desk is a large square table, twice as large as the original, and the point is that Leon can finally work in the sun, and the thought of this makes me feel good.
"Your Highness, are you leaving?" Riley and Emma went upstairs to take care of it, and the transportation just now was covered in dust.
"Okay, let's go. Leon took one look at the new surroundings and set off satisfied.
The training venue is still the same as usual, but the target is placed farther away.
"Your Royal Highness. "The archers came to the field early, and they were training in the field at this time, and I have to say that their consciousness is quite high, which Lyon is very satisfied with, and he is not afraid of not being able to work hard.
"This is Miss Emma, the alchemist, and she will train with you in the future. Leon solemnly introduces Emma, convincing them that they must be serious.
The archers looked left and right, what is an alchemist doing? or a woman, is the prince not satisfied with our training?
"I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, you'll know later. "Leon doesn't want to say too much, the facts are the best proof of it.
"Varus, you stand up. Leon named him, this person missed the target at the beginning, but then hit the heart again and again, and was selected as the captain of the squad with outstanding ability, and the effect of letting him demonstrate is undoubtedly the best.
The targets in the field were placed farther away than usual, so the archers were now standing higher than before, with little change in distance from the target.
"Varus, shoot an arrow first. "If Lyon wants to show the facts, he has to show them the comparison between the before and the after.
Varus holds an arrow in one hand and draws a bow in the other, and the whole action is done in one go, which can only be done after a long period of training.
The arrow came out of the string and hit the bull's-eye.
"Good, not bad. Leon praised first, "Now take ten steps back and come back." ”
Varus didn't know why, probably another test, beyond this distance, the requirements for the archer were higher. Now ten people can hit hearts, but ten steps back, about half of the team can shoot the target, but it is a bit difficult to hit hearts again.
Varus took ten steps back, this time still raising his hand fluidly, but it took a little longer to aim.
The arrow went off the string and hit the bullseye again.
However, his face did not have the ease just now, and he probably sweated in his heart, no one knows what the result of this kind of thing will be, he is used to training, and he is not sure enough of a challenge suddenly, but fortunately, he succeeded in doing it.
"Very well, then take ten steps back. Leon then gave the order.
"Retreat?" The rest of the archers couldn't help but turn their heads one after another, this is almost half of the original distance, such a distance can be aimed, but the strength is difficult to keep up, the result is that you can see but miss.
Varus was nervous, not afraid of bad performance but because he felt that such a test was of little significance, even if he trained at this distance every day, he did not dare to guarantee that someone would be able to hit the bull's-eye many times, and even miss the target in the vast majority of cases. The archer's job is to hit the target, but beyond their limits there is little they can do.
Varus took a deep breath and turned to take ten steps back, this time the target was half smaller in his eye.
He put on the string and quietly aimed, he knew that this arrow would not hit at all, so he could only retreat to the next best thing, and just don't miss the target. He raised the direction of the arrow upwards so that the trajectory of the shot was arc-shaped, and if he was lucky enough, he wouldn't miss the target.
Once again, the arrow detaches from the string, drawing a small arc in the air.
The arrow missed.
"I just said I couldn't shoot at all at such a distance. "The archers on the side were not surprised to see such a result, let them play, and it is estimated that they missed the target last time.
"Varus, do you want to try again?" Leon didn't immediately arrange for Emma to appear, but asked him what he thought.
"Your Highness, don't try again, I can't do it at such a distance. "Varus is very honest and says that in this world, ordinary people can't do it except for those who are gifted.
Leon asked Emma to give him an enchanted arrow at this time, which she had quietly done while she was practicing in Varus just now.
"Your Highness, this ......" Varus was a little puzzled by the situation, he had already said that it was impossible to do it, why did the prince let him try, and it was the alchemist who gave him arrows, obviously there were several in the quiver.
"Just try again, this time don't just think about hitting the target, your goal is to hit the heart, just do it the way you did. Leon had just seen Varus's thoughts, this time the arrow was different, if he still pointed the arrow upwards like just now, it is estimated that the arrow would fly directly out of the field.
Varus didn't understand what he was thinking, so he just did it.
The movements are still smooth, only this time aiming for hearts.
"Wow, how is that possible?" The archers on the side were a little unconvinced when they saw this scene, and they were actually hit by the red heart. Just now he missed the target, but this time he hit, and Varus is still not human. They looked at Varus with a wonderful expression on their faces.
Varus himself couldn't believe it, he had just felt the arrow go off the string faster, and there was no sign of deflecting during the flight. How did he do it at such a distance? He knew that it wasn't his own reason, so it could only be the arrow.
"Well, would you like to take another ten steps back?" Leon was satisfied, Emma's ability to catch up with the archers was seamless.
The archers on the side didn't hear Leon's words at all, and were still immersed in the scene just now.
"Good. Varus readily agreed.
The result hit the heart again.
"Your Highness, this is because of the arrows, but when I hold it in my hand, it is no different from a normal arrow, what is going on?" Varus looked excited, mixed with doubt.
"It's all thanks to Miss Emma, and that's what I asked her to help you train. From today onwards, you will start training at this distance, I know many of you can't do it yet, but it doesn't matter every time you take a step back and practice, I will take a test in a week, I hope you don't let me down. Leon knew that Emma's abilities had convinced them, and he didn't worry about the archers not training seriously because they looked down on Emma.
