Chapter 3: Sorting Out Weapons
"Daddy, breakfast is on the table for you, I'm going to do a mission later, do you have any great equipment for me?"
Early the next morning, Watson stood outside the door of Murray's room and knocked on the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Get out, if you want good equipment, find a way to find it yourself! I'm not your nanny! If you even need someone to provide you with your own equipment, it only means that you are a muddy beach, so you should obediently find a good job in this town and wait for death!"
Murray's roar came from inside the door, and it seemed that being woken up from a dream had upset the elderly demon hunter.
Watson laughed twice, he didn't really plan to let Daddy prepare anything for him, if he wanted to become a full-fledged demon hunter, he naturally had to start working hard from all aspects, relying on others was not his style, and the reason why he asked such a question was purely just the idea of teasing Daddy out of nowhere.
Now that we're talking about equipment, Watson still plans to check the equipment he has on his body before going out, and the equipment of demon hunters has always been their best companion, so daily maintenance and updates are naturally essential.
Although firearms have begun to be popularized in this world, the power of ordinary firearms still cannot reach a satisfactory level, and the physique of the monsters encountered by demon hunters most of the time has a fairly strong defense against bullets, and the place where demon hunters fight cannot always be in a bright place, and people with a little experience know that it is really unreliable to face those monsters running in the dark with guns that are difficult to aim in a dark place.
Therefore, under the experience of many predecessors, demon hunters will still choose a cold weapon as their usual weapon, after all, compared to the guns that are easy to malfunction and limited by the use environment of the firearms, those cold weapons that are sharp and can be commanded as long as they react quickly enough can always make these professionals who travel in the dark feel more secure.
Every demon hunter will find a weapon that suits him during the initial training period, and then carry out long-term training in all aspects to improve his familiarity with weapons and his own skills, without exception, when Murray taught Watson combat skills, he naturally let him choose weapons, and finally after trying a long sword, war hammer and many other weapons, he chose something that made Maury want to hang him up and fight, the weapon he chose was very ordinary------ long knife, the problem was that the way he chose to use it was indeed quite unpopular, and the weapon skill ------ double knife flow!
The reason why Maury wanted to hang Watson up and beat him was naturally because he didn't know this skill himself, but he was Watson's teacher, so he had to take on the responsibility of teaching, so he spent a lot of money to buy a large number of double-knife teaching books, and spent a lot of time learning by himself first, and then passing on his own experience to Watson.
This way of teaching naturally made him irritable, and because he and Watson were studying together, the starting point of the two was almost the same, originally Maury thought that he would be able to get started faster than Watson with so many years of experience, and then establish his own prestige, but the reality told him in a very cruel way that this technique really has nothing to do with knowledge, mainly relying on talent......
As for Watson's talent, I have to say that it is really **** luck, because Watson was an out-and-out left-hander in his previous life, but his body when he crossed over was a normal right-hander, which led to Watson's subjective consciousness, the left hand is a dominant hand, but in terms of body reactions, the right hand is also quite flexible, so after deliberate exercise, Watson found ...... His dad can't compare to him in terms of skill when he uses dual knives purely without using his own abilities!
This discovery really excited Watson for a long time, so much so that he had been dangling in front of Morry with two long knives for a few days, but after being annoyed and angry Morley had been educating him with a knife in one hand for a whole day, he was decisively quiet......
A brown leather belt with rings on both sides was placed on the table, so Watson asked the clothing store in town to make it easier to carry his twin knives and draw them in battle.
In Watson's original idea, he could put the double knife on his back, but was denied by Maury, this kind of behavior of running around with dazzling weapons is no different from mental retardation in the eyes of experienced demon hunters, and every demon hunter will wear a special trench coat issued by the Demon Hunter Guild in order to carry more props, and Maury showed Watson that this special wide trench coat can well cover the weapons around his waist.
In the end, after Morry's multi-faceted education, he compromised, and after a short period of familiarity, he became accustomed to the way this weapon was carried.
Next to the belt are two long knives that shimmer with metallic luster in the sun, since he has made up his mind to become a demon hunter, then Watson naturally knows the truth that if he wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools, but as Morry said, he will not give Watson any help in terms of equipment, so these two knives are his savings for a long time [money earned from working and doing some private work] Specially made by the best blacksmiths in a few nearby towns, although not as rare as his father's longsword that could shimmer with the brilliance of various spells, it was quite a good thing among ordinary weapons.
The system of the two knives is almost the same, and the length of the narrow blade is also very ordinary, all about 90CM, but in this part of the handle, it is far from the normal long knife, because when building, Watson specially instructed the blacksmith to make the handle longer than the ordinary long knife about 10CM, as for the reason, it is naturally because of some of his knife swinging skills.
Black dark energy emerged from the table, turning into two black claws, one grabbed the long knife on the left, the other picked up the whetstone next to it, and slowly began to sharpen the knife, while Watson's free hands naturally picked up the other long knife and began to do the same.
Watson was quiet as he sharpened his knives, preferring to stroke the weapons rather than reciting the complicated materials, and at this time his youthful temperament began to settle down, becoming more restrained and more ...... Sharp!
"Stinky boy, this is a gift for your first mission! Use it well, if you break it, don't expect me to fix it for you!"
Suddenly Morrie's voice sounded on the second floor, and an object was quickly thrown at Watson from the air, but before he could turn his head, a new black claw appeared behind him, and he caught the thing that Morry threw steadily.
"Daddy, didn't you say you wouldn't give me a weapon? This gun must have cost a lot of money, this texture is not something that our town can make. ”
Watson took a silver-white gun with a silver-white body and a brownish-yellow carved wooden handle from his black claws, which was obviously much more high-end than the average musket, and turned his head to look at the second floor.
It's just that after Maury threw the things down, he turned around and closed the door, without any communication with Watson, as if he had gone to sleep.
"What a tsundere old man. You can rest assured...... I'm definitely going to be the Demon Hunter you are proud of!"
Watson noticed that there was an inconspicuous line of small words engraved on the handle of the gun------To the stinky boy I am most proud of!, he couldn't help pinching his nose to push the sour feeling back, his eyes lifted up, and he held the musket tightly in his right hand and whispered to himself.
"Let's call you ambition in the future, how about it?"
Watson raised his musket and lowered it into the sunlight, observing the glare of light reflected from the barrel and giving it a special name.
After sharpening the two long knives and inserting them back into their scabbards and putting them on his body, Watson then compared the caliber of the musket and found a few boxes of suitable ammunition from where Maury had placed his own ammunition and put them in the outer pocket of the long trench coat he had placed next to him.
Picking up the trench coat on the sofa and walking to the mirror on the wall behind the door, in the mirror was a young man of medium stature, fair complexion, hair slightly longer than his ears, a very delicate face, and a smiling expression that easily brought people a good impression.
Because Watson has not yet officially registered as a demon hunter, he can't get the trench coat specially distributed by the guild, and now he is wearing a trench coat bought in a clothing store, probably because he has been with Maury for a long time, so he still unconsciously moves closer to him for clothes, and I have to say that the trench coat can indeed cover a lot of things, at least after wearing the trench coat, Watson looks like an ordinary ordinary youth.
Straightening his clothes in front of the mirror and opening the door, the moment he walked out of the house, the smile on Watson's face disappeared, replaced by a cold poker face, which was also some external skills learned from Maury.
Because Watson is so young, it's easy to disdain his words. So Maury deliberately taught him how to hide his expressions to make him look cold and unapproachable, which did increase Watson's prestige, but it also made none of the girls in the neighborhood dare to communicate with him......
So for a while, Watson was quite skeptical that this was Maury's prank on him, but after more than a year, he got used to putting on such an expression when he went outside, and only showed his gentle side in front of his home or familiar people.
"To Kailan Town!"
Watson walked to the carriage that had already stopped in front of the house, talking about the destination of this mission.
Yes, the destination of Maury's mission to Watson is the most prosperous town in the vicinity, Kailan Town, compared to the country town they live in now, it is more like a rural place, it is more like a modern town, and this is probably the reason why there are so many things there, in Watson's opinion, the large flow of people attracts not only businessmen but also some disgusting creatures.
"Hah, my journey has finally begun, evil monsters...... Wait for me to educate you!"
Watson sat in the wooden wagon behind the carriage, looked up at the morning sun, which was not very dazzling, and muttered to himself firmly.
