Chapter 7: Hand Crossbow

I have to say that Dr. Cuckoo is really a miracle rejuvenation, even if Buffy broke a foot and died, Dr. Cuckoo still rescued him from the hands of Hades-no, the god of death. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A little herb stopped Buffy's bleeding, and some special materials stitched up the wound on Buffy's leg, and after bandaging, let him not move and recuperate for a few days. Although the leg cannot be regenerated, it is much stronger than losing a small life.

Just when everyone was amazed by Dr. Cuckoo's superb medical skills, Cuckoo said that it was just a trivial matter, and he had seen more than this more serious injury.

After making sure everyone was okay, Rhodes drew Barnett's knightly sword.

Barnett subconsciously held the hilt of the sword, and when he learned that His Royal Highness the Prince was going to take the sword, he thought that His Royal Highness the Prince was going to take revenge, but fortunately it was not, the prince just said that he would cut down some trees to make a crutch for Buffy. This move still warmed Barnett's heart, and he felt that Rhodes had changed, probably because he had matured after the pain of losing his country.

This is a good thing for Barnett, it is better than the fact that he spent the lives of hundreds of brave soldiers in exchange for a prince who is lazy and only knows pleasure, who said that he Barnett never thought in his heart that His Royal Highness would one day lead them back to Sweet Castle, the capital of Wiblen, but this is not realistic. If it weren't for the elves' help, they might not have survived the 'Beast Tide' three days later.

From Jasmine's kindness, Cuckoo's healing skills, and the enthusiasm of all the elves, Barnett's opinion of the elves has changed.

The lowliness of the elves does not seem to be voluntary, not the greedy aristocrats who like to have some fun, and the beauty of the elves is extraordinary.

Of course, these greedy nobles only exist with other countries, and the great Vebron Empire is not allowed to exist like this, alas...... Thinking of this, even the steel-warrior Barnett choked up.

At this time, Rhodes, who was holding a knight's sword about three feet (1m) long, had already arrived in the forest, and I had to say that this long sword was really heavy, and Rhodes, who had walked a few hundred meters away with him, was already sweating, and Rhodes thought that his current body really could not be compared with the warriors who had been fighting for a long time.

He raised his sword high and slashed down at a tree. Not to mention, it was still quite sharp, and the long sword hit the tree, and a small hole immediately cracked at the place of impact, and the small tree fell in response.

This is a poplar tree, more than two meters high, with forks on it, enough to make a crutch, now the situation is special, Rod has to make the easiest and fastest crutches, if he can live here for a long time, Rod will consider making a wheelchair for Buffy, although the all-wooden structure of the wheelchair will be very laborious, but suitable for long-term use.

A crutch was made very quickly, and Rod observed it, felt that it was the right height for Buffy, and nodded with satisfaction. But he was in no hurry to go back, cutting down the tree was more than just a crutch.

said that he wanted to give a gift to the elves, then he naturally had to do it, the gold and fiefdom elves would definitely not like it, and as a prince in distress, he didn't have these things.

Then what Rod can give is only craftsmanship, the craftsmanship learned from Master Lu Ban in Heavenly Court. For the elves who are good at shooting, bows and arrows seem to be the best gifts, but Rhodes doesn't plan to give them a bow and arrows.

Shooting accuracy aside, the elves are all marksmen anyway, so the bow and arrow are good, depending on the material and the user's strength. The material, Rhodes can't change it in a short time, only local materials, and the user's strength, the elves don't seem to rely on this thing for archery.

So the bow and arrow was not a gift that Rhodes wanted to give to the elves, what Rhodes wanted to give was a hand crossbow.

Hand crossbow, a single combat weapon, has the characteristics of easy to carry, rapid loading, and strong lethality, and its range may not be as far as the bow and arrow used by people in this world now, but it can also reach 70-80 meters, which is a necessary weapon for 'killing people and goods'.

And in terms of material changes, it can also make the range longer and more powerful. Rhodes was sure that the hand crossbow would surpass the current bow and arrow in all aspects, and even multiply it several times, but first the problem of materials had to be solved.

Not only hand crossbows, but also cross crossbows, back crossbows, Zhuge crossbows, etc., are not difficult for the current Rhodes. But these things are not very practical for the elves, one is too large and troublesome to handle, and the other is because of the high material requirements, so they are not within the scope of Rod's choice, but these crafts are Rod's survival and recovery.

Rhodes didn't dare to think so much, the current eight people alone couldn't do the great cause of recovering the country anyway, the most important thing now is to settle down and establish friendly relations with the elves, so as not to end up in a miserable situation where they have no fixed place.

However, what Rod didn't know was that Jasmine had already made a decision at this time, no matter what, to let him get out of here, as far away as possible. Jasmine was reluctant to show her ugly side in front of the elegant prince.

The hand crossbow is divided into the main components such as the crossbow arm (crossbow body), the crossbow bow (crossbow wing), the bowstring and the crossbow machine. The bowstring is easy to deal with, the elven bow and arrow have it on it, and the material for making a bow and arrow is enough to make five or six crossbows, and the crossbow (crossbow wing) is best to choose bamboo, because it has good toughness, and can withstand the force generated by the repeated action of loading and firing many times, and it is not easy to break.

On the way here, Rhodes noticed that there was bamboo in one place, but I don't know if it was the most suitable three-instar bamboo for hand crossbows, but it didn't matter, the crossbow wings and bowstrings could be changed at any time.

The crossbow arm and crossbow machine are more important, as soon as this kind of thing is broken, it means that the entire hand crossbow is destroyed, and these two parts also determine the accuracy and power of the shot. Even if the material is not good, it will only slightly reduce the range and power and affect the durability, and if the crafting of these two parts is not accurate, it may directly lead to the failure of the entire crossbow.

Rod will make the remaining wood of the crutches, chop it to the size he needs, and then start the production of the crossbow machine, with this knight's sword, it is still a little difficult to do such a precise work, but this is not difficult for the witty Rode.

Who said that the knight's sword must be used in his hand, at this time, Barnett's knight's sword had been buried in the dirt by Rod, and the three-foot-long knight's sword was only left dozens of centimeters outside. At this time, Rhodes sat cross-legged on the ground, and the wooden block in his hand kept carving back and forth on the tip of the knight's greatsword.

If Barnett saw the sword that he regarded as life, and was ruined like this by Rod, I don't know if he would jump up and kill Rod.

After a while, a layer of sawdust was laid on the ground, and the wooden block in Rod's hand had changed its appearance, no longer so regular, Rod looked at the first piece of wood bracket and shook his head, obviously not so satisfied, and put the bracket back on the tip of the knife for follow-up processing.
