Catherine, who had been escorted out of the dark corridors of the fortress by the dwarven soldiers, had at first loudly questioned the two dwarves who were only waist-high and had two fat bellies, but she soon realized that it was a complete self-inflict challenge to compete with the loud dwarves.

The poor girl was now empty-handed, her wrists were firmly grasped by the heavily armored dwarven arms, and the slightest opening would have been deafened by the ears of the dwarven soldiers' loud and loud voices, and she did not even dare to make a sound, so she had to follow them silently.

The five of them walked out of the gloomy fortress castle and walked along the neat stone path, the warm morning sun shone on Catherine's body, which calmed her mood a little, and several small birds flew through the sky, Catherine looked up at them, how she wished to see Lilith in them.

But Lilith did not appear, and there were more and more soldiers on both sides of the road, dwarven soldiers standing in a line on both sides of the road, carrying long-handled firearms on their shoulders, bullet pouches and flasks hanging from their belts, and beards hanging straight down to the belly of the erect beer, some of which were braided into twisted knots.

Catherine looked curiously at the dwarven soldiers as she walked, and gradually approached a large gate with a gilded gate carved with a relief of a long-handled firebolt, and two soldiers stood in the doorway, and the soldier in charge of escorting stepped forward to talk to the soldiers guarding the door, and the door opened.

Four soldiers led Catherine into the gate, through a dark passageway, and appeared in an open field, surrounded by a high wall, with a large lawn in the middle covered with ravines and bunkers, around which a dwarven firecracker stood at intervals.

There was a tall stand on the side of the field, and four soldiers brought Catherine to the stand, and a dwarf wearing a golden crown and golden armor stood up from the throne of the stand, walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back, looked down at Catherine under the high platform and asked, "You are the human sharpshooter who came with Mr. Rogge?"

"Human sharpshooter?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, and before she could react to what was going on, the golden-armored dwarf said loudly again: "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Thor, the son of the dwarven king Odin, and I happened to come here last night when I was patrolling the territory, and I heard about you, and I was very curious about you. ”

The dwarven prince leaned over and stared at Catherine and said, "Look at your age, you are not very old among humans, I have seen many humans who are good at shooting, and in recent years, many humans have come to Sun Castle to learn the art of firecracker shooting, but most of them are not talented, so I would like to know if you are really talented." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Catherine's hanging heart finally relaxed, and she calmly looked up at the dwarven prince who was high above and asked.

"I have prepared an exam for you, and the best of my men will compete with you, and if you can overcome them, I will recommend you to my father, and you will be richly rewarded. Thor paused and continued, "Of course, you can also write off the fault of wounding the soldier. ”

"I'm willing to try!" said Catherine, nodding apprehensively and excitedly.

"Very well, now go to the other side, I've got all the weapons you need ready, you can test fire them first, and then our competition will begin." The dwarven prince turned and sat back on his throne and said.

Catherine saluted the prince, then turned and followed the soldiers through the field to the table where the weapons were placed, and at a glance Catherine saw her two silver handcuffs, and beside them lay a long-handled firebolt, as well as the dagger she had used for self-defense, and a large number of projectiles.

Catherine equipped them on her body, then picked up the long-handled firearm, tried to fill it with a projectile, turned around and aimed at a straw man target not far away and pulled the trigger, only to hear a loud "bang", Catherine was startled, and almost dropped the gun in her hand to the ground.

"What a loud voice. She looked at the long-handled firebolt in her hand with trepidation, and the recoil and sound it produced when it fired was so great that Catherine had used the silver hammer before that Catherine was completely unprepared and the bullet did not hit the target.

"Be bold and think of yourself as a bad girl!" a hand reached behind her, and took the long-handled firearm from Catherine's hand, Catherine turned her head sharply to see Roger holding the firearm with one hand and aiming at a distant target, and a shot shot had pierced the bull's-eye in the head.

"That's amazing!" Catherine exclaimed.

"The show is still to come, take it, I'm going to see the show!" Rog smiled and shoved the fire gun in his hand to Catherine, turned and walked in the direction of the stands, the girl saw Tali sitting next to Murphy with Lilith in her arms, the elven princess Sophia sat on the other side with her head bowed with a gloomy face, and Rog's seat separated her from the dwarven prince.

"I'm going to do a good job, doesn't she hate dwarves and firebolts, I'm going to show her the power of firebolts on dwarven territory!" Catherine muttered to herself, glancing at Sophia with fighting spirit, and clenching the firebolt in her hand.

The competition soon began, the first was fixed target shooting, the dwarven prince Thor sent three excellent dwarven musketeers, together with Catherine to shoot the target grass men two hundred meters away, each shooting three shots, whoever hit the most rings will win.

As the starting pistol sounded, the four of them raised their guns together to aim, but Catherine felt uneasy, her eyes always seemed to be looking in the direction of the stands, and she forced herself to concentrate on the target, but the hand holding the gun trembled.

"Concentrate, don't be distracted!" Catherine secretly admonished herself, aiming at the target with all her strength and pulling the trigger, the gunshot rang out, but the straw man didn't even move, Catherine looked at the target in a daze, and heard the dwarf soldier on the opposite side shouting: "Off target!"

"Oh no!" Catherine's heart "chuckled" when she heard this result, she lowered her head and bit her lip, staring at the fire gun in her hand, her heart became panicked, she didn't care about the dwarf king's reward, but she didn't want to fail in front of him.

The other three dwarven soldiers all managed to hit their targets, a result that stressed Catherine, and when she fired the second shot, she felt her whole body tremble, a beating heart in her throat, and a strong feeling of suffocation almost suffocated her.

After aiming for a long time, the gunshots finally rang out, and Catherine, who had finished shooting, looked at the target in a daze, and heard the dwarven soldiers on the opposite side shouting, "Hit the bull's-eye!"

There was an exclamation from the scene, and the dwarven soldiers were surprised by the result, and few humans had been able to score a perfect score in front of them before.

But Catherine didn't feel relaxed at this time, because the other dwarven soldiers were also doing well, and if the other three didn't miss the target in the third shot, then she still couldn't defeat them.

"I only have one chance, I have to prove myself......" Catherine closed her eyes, held her breath for a moment, suddenly opened her eyes and aimed at the target and pulled the trigger, the projectile flew out, accompanied by the loud sound of fire, and the target straw man fell to the ground.

Everyone present froze in place, and the dwarven prince Thor rose from his throne and looked at the downed straw man in amazement, and after the bullet penetrated the straw man's chest, it broke the bracket rope wrapped in the straw, causing the cross bracket supporting the straw man to disintegrate instantly.

"Tell me, how did you do that?" the dwarven prince asked as he summoned Catherine to the stands, looking at her with concern, wondering if the girl had done it on purpose, or if it was a stroke of chance.

"Your Highness, I used to live in my uncle's house when I was a child, I also helped in the fields, and I also made scarecrows with my own hands, and I know what their internal structure looks like, so I estimated the position of the ropes according to the height of the straw men, and then fired this shot. Catherine said worriedly.

"If you were given another chance, would you still be able to do it?" asked Thor, still skeptical.

Catherine nodded affirmatively, and Thor immediately ordered her to shoot again, Catherine was very excited about the opportunity she had won, she returned to the firing position, aimed at the target position and pulled the trigger, and once again broke the straw man to pieces, the whole process was done in one go, so that the dwarf prince couldn't help but applaud loudly.

"That's wonderful!" said Saul happily, turning back to Rogge, "I remember this girl was your student, isn't it Mr. Rogge?

"Your Highness has won the award, she is still a child, and she still needs to be honed. Rogge said with a calm smile.

"You're right, but she's done more than many older veterans! You must admit, she's a genius!" Thor said with a hearty laugh.

In the interest of him, Thor asked people to prepare for the second contest, and he had some special ammunition fetched, these round projectiles looked no different from ordinary bullets, but Thor told the group that they were made from the leaves of a special plant near Suncastle.

"We wrap the colored liquid in leaves and make them the size of bullets, and then we bring them to the recruits for live-fire practice. ”

"These leaf bullets wear out violently as they fly out of the chamber of the gun, become very thin, and once they hit the object, they burst and splash out the colored liquid inside, and we can see who was hit. ”

Thor proudly said to Catherine under the stands: "I will let those three soldiers fight against you just now, if you can defeat them, you can pass the test smoothly, good luck, Miss Catherine!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Catherine bowed respectfully, turned around and was about to leave, when she heard a shout from behind her: "Wait a minute!"

She turned around in surprise and saw Sophia get up from the seat in the stands, the two looked at each other-for-tat, Sophia said unconvinced: "Those three guys are definitely not her opponents, there is no need to compare, if you want to compare, it is better for me to compare with her!"

She strode to the staircase of the stands, looked down at Catherine condescendingly, and asked with a provocative expression: "Bow and arrow against fire, do you dare to play with me?"
