Chapter 20: Who Decides?

The elder's inquiry made Diledo stunned for a moment, and he hadn't thought carefully about what to do next. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In this way, it is true that Implens said that he is an outsider, but fortunately, Wall has already prepared the answer. I only heard Wall answer for himself: "It happened suddenly, we need at least a day to plan well, and even if we decide to change people, we have to negotiate with the other party, right?" Implens saw things too simply, and didn't give us time to plan at all. If you let this quick temper lead everyone around, you will only mess things up in the end. ”

Whispers rang out all around, and the villagers, who had been encouraged by Implens to storm the prison, suddenly realized that something was not quite right with them by hanging Wall aside. And this chaotic noise faded as the elder raised his arms in the air.

"So, the essence of your argument is who should be listened to, and who should be in charge of this matter?"

"That's right, Elder!" Seeing that Wall winked at him, Diledo nodded hurriedly.

"In one day, you have to come up with a solution, can you do it?" the elder asked again.

Wall scratched his scalp like Diledo, and it looked as if he was struggling with whether or not to bargain with the elders again, but at the sight of Implens's iron-clad face, Wall let himself go.

"Okay, one day at a time. By this time tomorrow, if we can't solve this matter, we'll leave Hawke to Implens. ”

The elder nodded.

"So Implins, do you think it's necessary to try again?"

"There's no reason for me to refuse their first offer, and I can't trust them!" replied Implens in a strong tone, pointing his finger at Diredo and then Wall.

"Let's compare. The elder declared.

After a few moments, almost all the villagers of the Night Stalkers had gathered in another part of the village. The place looked like a quiet wood, with no houses built, but Aura could vaguely feel that there were many traces of manifold in the forest. She guessed correctly, but with a few people pulling the ropes hidden among the bushes, various targets of different sizes hung from the treetops out of thin air.

Seeing these arrows, all woven from straw and rattan into animal shapes, Aura suddenly felt as if he had returned to his childhood. She remembered that her uncle had used such targets when he was teaching her archery, and she thought that all targets should look like this, so much so that when she first saw a target with a ring on it, she thought it was an ornament that symbolized the sun.

"We have three ways to test our archery. If one type of competition is not decided, the next one will be activated. Diredo's voice suddenly rang in Ola's ears.

"The first type of shooting the target is very simple, it is a warm-up before the competition. The second is the moving target, and look! It's over there. ”

Ola looked in the direction Diledo was pointing, and saw several people testing a device that resembled a trap or a secret door, except that the trapdoor should have spikes or bookshelves on it, and one side of the wall was covered with animal-shaped arrow targets. As soon as the men pulled the trigger, the flap spun around with the help of the spring. It seems that there is nothing wrong with this moving target.

"This is the main event in a moment, someone will operate the flap on the side, and when the target side turns over, it is the time to shoot the arrow. I remember Kroos and Implens probably shooting twelve arrows in two weeks of the trap turn. These two guys are just monsters. Di Ledo said without confidence.

Aura looked at his resigned appearance and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Didn't Di Ledo just mention that there are three ways to compete, why did he only say two and then there was no follow-up?

Ola tugged at Dilledo's sleeve and wrote on the ground, "What about the third?"

"The third type, which usually doesn't go that far, that ......"

Halfway through Dileido's words, the whistle blew to announce the official start of the competition. Seeing someone coming to pick up Ola, Diredo patted the girl on the shoulder in a hurry and said, "By the way, Wall told me that if you don't think you can beat Implens, try to delay as much time as possible." Of course, it would be better if you could win. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Ola was brought into the competition by several people. Diledo couldn't help but exhale when he saw Ola get the hunting bow that he had tried. Speaking of which, what exactly is Wall planning to do? He seems to have been emphasizing that he is trying to delay as much time as possible, and it took a lot of effort to convince Implens to agree to test archery with Ola, could it be that Wall agreed to let Ola play, in fact, not because of Ola's archery, but for the sake of delaying time?

At the same moment, Ola, who was in the competition venue, was looking at the hunting bow in his hand in some shock. Just now, a villager told her that the arrows she had tried were about a dozen arrows stuck in the ground. As soon as Ora noticed the difference in the color of the arrow in front of her from Implens's, the villager shoved a hunting bow into her hand. To Ola's great surprise, the bow was very similar to the one she had lost because she had been arrested and imprisoned, and she reached out and brushed the bow arm that bound the horns and tendons, and for a moment she lost her mind.

"You wouldn't have used this bow, would you?" asked Implens contemptuously, "Do you want me to intercede for you and let you use your weapon back?"

Ora shook her head.

Without saying a word, Imprens pulled up one of the arrows he had in his hand, and then shot his bow at the hanging target. Ola followed up with an arrow that pierced the dead target hanging on the other side. Next, the two alternated their shots as if they were drawing cards, and the whole competition was monotonous and boring, and the onlookers did not cheer at all. Implens, who flew the last arrow, didn't even look at Ola's final blow, and strode to the next test venue.

Soon, the second competition began. It was only at this point that there was finally a bit of an atmosphere at the scene, some people were still muttering about how a woman could be allowed to compete with an outsider, and some villagers who knew a little bit about the inside story talked about the purpose of Ola's stay in the village. The chatter was lowered as Implens stepped into the white circle painted on the ground to restrict the shooter's movement.

I saw Implens pull out three arrows from the ground at once, bite one arrow, and put two more arrows on the bowstring, and then nodded to the person who was in charge of operating the machine on one side. With a whistle, the operator pulled the machine attached to the valve, and the flap immediately spun under the contraction of the spring, and when the side where the target was hung was just turned, Implens's two arrows flew out, hitting two targets respectively. Immediately afterwards, an arrow that had been bitten in the mouth by Implens also flew out, and the irritable young man took three more arrows from the ground with surprising composure, and completed a triple shot before the trapdoor was about to turn over.

Seeing the excellent archery skills of the six arrows hitting the target in a very short period of time, the villagers present couldn't help but applaud. Even Diredo had to admit that Implens's attainments in archery were really impressive.
