Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Outer Mother's Firearms Enlightenment Lesson, Naroa's Natural Disaster Region [Seeking Follow-up I.]
The four Beretta M9s were taken from the armory.
All of them are first-hand goods, and the surface of the gun oil has not been wiped clean.
In fact, according to Rebecca and Ophelia's physique, they can easily control those big guns.
But considering that they had never touched a firearm, they had to familiarize themselves with it first.
Moreover, the two daughters are all demon cultivators, not spellcasters, and cannot enter the state of enlightenment.
It's hard to get started like someone Chen who is hanging.
Four M9 pistols, exactly two for one person.
After a simple allocation, Chen Xuan took out twelve more matching magazines, but they were all empty.
Manual reloading is required in advance.
The half-elf lady and the kitten lady grabbed the shiny pistol and played with it with great interest.
Chen Xuan unhurriedly took out four boxes of 9mm parabellum ammunition.
Each box is 50 rounds, and according to the 15-round ammunition capacity of the M9 pistol, only 180 rounds are needed to fill the twelve magazines.
I saw him tear open the oil-paper package, grab a handful of yellow bullets from it, fill the two magazines in an orderly manner, and put them in front of the second daughter.
Then Chen Xuan took out an M9 pistol of the same model that he used for himself.
After exiting the magazine, he began to introduce in earnest.
"The name of this weapon is 'pistol.'"
"Attack by firing bullets from the magazine."
"The effective killing distance is between 50 and 150 steps."
"You see this is the magazine, and this metal is the bullet for the 'pistol'..."
……
Chen Xuan patiently introduced.
Because the word pistol is not included in the lingua franca of Naroa, he directly uses the transliteration method.
And "firearm" is a kind of alternative name for "rocket" and "fire crossbow" in the lingua franca.
It is not strictly a substitute for the concept of firearms of the Blue Star.
As for the so-called magic firearms, they are a proper new thing, and they have not been popularized in the general vocabulary.
Ophelia and Rebecca repeated the term "pistol" a little stiffly.
They should be the first half-elves and cat-eared girls in the entire Naroa Continent to learn the Chinese language of Blue Star Xia.
The introduction process lasted more than ten minutes, and the second girl focused on studying, and soon roughly figured out the shooting principle and structure of the pistol.
"Master, is this the weapon you used to deal with Mor Greenleaf?"
"I didn't expect it to be propelled by explosions and flames!"
Ophelia is more experienced with bows and crossbows, so she is amazed at the way gunpowder pushes her ammunition.
The kinetic energy of the bow and arrow mainly comes from the elastic potential energy generated by bending the bow arm, which requires a certain external force to be applied.
No matter how good an archer is, he will be tired after a high-intensity burst of fire.
However, this is not the case with firearms, where the chemical and physical changes caused by the explosion of gunpowder are ultimately converted into the kinetic energy of the bullet, and the user does not need to do additional work to shoot.
Just aim, shoot, and use your body stance to withstand the recoil.
Faced with Ophelia's curiosity, Chen Xuan briefly explained the characteristics of modern propellants.
Rebecca, a kitty sitting next to her, is more interested in the lightness and rapid fire of the pistol.
"It's more agile than a hand crossbow, and it can shoot out of nowhere!"
"It's just that the movement is too loud to be suitable for lurking and sneak attacks."
As a scout, Rebecca looks at firearms differently than Ophelia.
Almost subconsciously, it is compared to a hand crossbow.
The hand crossbow she was talking about was not like the compound crossbow that Chen Xuan had purchased before, but a small crossbow machine that could really be hidden in his sleeve.
The effective range does not exceed 10 steps, that is, a distance of six to seven meters, even if it is attached to the magic element, it will not increase the power too much, and it is mostly used for first-hand attrition and sneak attacks before melee combat.
Compared to the crossbow, the performance of the Beretta M9 pistol can be described as crushing.
"It can also be very quiet, but it needs to be fitted with accessories."
Chen Xuan explained casually, and disassembled the M9 in his hand on the spot.
In fact, the structure of the firearm is not complicated, and in the past few days, he has basically figured out the pistol.
Reloading the gun, he inserted the magazine, opened the safety and loaded it directly.
A shot was fired at the wall of the private room in front of it.
"Bang!"
The muzzle of the gun was fleeting.
The bullet shot out, piercing through the soundproof soft leather covering the walls of the private room, embedded in the mixed stone and wood walls.
The hot shells were thrown and dropped back onto the table.
When the second daughter was dealing with the Mor Green Leaf mercenary team, she had already seen the power of firearms.
At this time, I was even more yearning and couldn't wait to try shooting.
"Alright, let's go back and find a secluded place to practice."
The tavern room wasn't a good place to practice his guns, so he just had to try it out.
Can't let Ophelia and Rebecca "snap" and shoot randomly.
In the end, Chen Xuan let them learn to load the magazines by themselves, ending the first lesson of firearms from the grandmother.
Today is just enlightenment.
There are still many ways to develop kinetic weapons in Bluestar, and it will not be clear for a while.
In the future, he will find a way to get some more powerful guys to the continent of Naroa.
When they parted, he gave Ophelia a few more boxes of ammunition to spare.
Because she still lives in Akso Manor, it is not convenient to replenish ammunition on a daily basis.
With the task assigned by her master, she led the dark demon dog out of the Black Thorn Tavern first.
There were only two people left in the private room, Little Cat Niang and Chen Xuan.
The master and servant looked at each other, and Rebecca's face flushed.
"Hmm... It's time for us to go, too. ”
Chen Xuan reached out and rubbed the orange cat ears on her silver hair.
The plush feel is quite pleasant to the touch.
Even his tone became gentle.
Before putting away the cash box, Chen Xuan took out five dark gold coins from it and handed them to the little cat girl.
"This money is on you for spare."
"When I'm not around, there's always a place where money needs to be used."
"You can use the money to buy new weapons."
Rebecca's weapons are a short sword and a dagger.
The shortsword is made of ordinary black iron, and the magic element amplification effect is average.
It's not comparable to magical/runic weapons that use rune forging technology.
According to the rank, it is an ordinary weapon that does not enter the stream.
Chips tend to appear after each chop, so they should be sanded frequently.
That dagger is a first-order runic weapon with its own [Sharp] effect, which does not require additional polishing.
The hardness and toughness of the material are also far superior to those of ordinary black iron.
The market price is around 350 kroner.
At that time, Rebecca undertook six black iron commissions to save enough money.
Chen Xuan is not short of krona in his hands for the time being, and it is time to change the kitten girl's clothes.
In terms of armor, there are Kevlar body armor and bulletproof inserts that he bought from Blue Star.
On weapons, firearms can only be used as a supplement.
Because Cat Niang's positioning is a scout, it's good to honestly maintain the fighting style that she was good at.
The positioning of the adventurer is closely related to the ethnic talent and the individual's preference choice.
What's more, Naroa's magic and rune weapons are unique in their own right.
There's no need to force her with Blue Star equipment.
The tree dies, and the man lives.
Only by taking the essence and removing the dross is the right way to combine the advantages of the two worlds.
Not long ago, Chen Xuan saw with his own eyes on the street that there was an adventurer whose long sword in his hand could ignite a scorching flame, that is, an otherworldly cold weapon with runes and magical powers.
Not only does this weapon have extra elemental lethality, but it also looks pretty cool.
Now he has a lot of money in Magdam, and he just walks through the streets and alleys of the third circle, and returns from shopping for some good goods.
Especially all kinds of magic techniques and magic guide crystals, they were all things that Chen Xuan desperately needed.
At present, he has only mastered one defensive magic skill plus two first-order magic.
As a spellcaster with full all-elemental induction, I'm so sorry for his top talent.
In addition, the [Contracting Bead] used by Ophelia also comes from a small shop in the alley.
There are many similar items that are not the mainstream goods in the big trading houses.
After receiving the five dark gold coins, the little kitten's expression was a little complicated.
These heavy coins were what she had once hoped for.
But now that it's at her fingertips, she has a sense of unreality like a dream.
"Let's go!"
Chen Xuan didn't think so much, he took the lead in getting up, pulling up the calloused palm of the little cat lady and leaving the tavern.
Come to the 28 bars parked at the side of the stable.
Rebecca, who is four or five meters tall, is very sensible and has to step on a tall bicycle.
Looking at this scene in front of him, he felt a little funny, and remembered his childhood.
So he raised his hand and patted the kitten's buttocks that had just landed on the chair cushion.
The waves that ripple under the lap are particularly attractive.
Rebecca's face flushed again.
Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Sit back, I'll pick you up."
The two switched places, and he set off with the kitten lady.
……
Half an hour later, in the eastern part of the third circle of Magdan City.
Chen Xuan spent a black iron coin to deposit the 28 bars in the stables of the Southern District Adventurers' Association.
It is said to be a stable, but in fact, there are all kinds of strange mounts in the shed.
Four-eyed cattle, mountainback mules, chocobos, and more.
There was even a red-skinned wild boar with a body length of more than two meters tethered to the corner.
A few grooms lay lazily on the straw and watched over the stables, unoblivious to the smell of the place.
I heard that some adventurers will deliberately seek out and tame wild monsters as mounts.
As for monsters, they are only suitable for war pets, but they are not convenient to ride.
As we all know, monsters use magic in a very different way than the Naroa natives.
The magic power on their bodies is quite chaotic, and long-term close contact can easily lead to the disorder of magic in their bodies.
A demon tamer like Ophelia doesn't stay with domesticated monsters for long periods of time.
This also explains why monsters only have such wisps of pure magic escaping after death.
For Chen Xuan, there are still too many unknowns to explore.
Standing on the streets of the South District, he looked curiously at the houses on both sides.
Ceiling heights are generally up to three storeys, and sturdy stone buildings and towers are more common here.
On the surface of many buildings, there are still the faint brilliance of low-level runes circulating.
The streets are crowded with pedestrians, and even the adventurers in them are better equipped.
"Well, it looks a lot busier here than the West End!"
Rebecca, who was standing beside him, smiled softly.
"Of course!"
"To the west of Magdan there are only mountains and wilderness."
"After crossing the Eya Forest, it is the border of the western foothills of the Duroa Kingdom."
"Continuing to the west, you can see the majestic 'Fortified Wall of the Gods' mountain range, which is an impassable place like the other natural calamities in Naroa, not only is the magic power rare, but it is also accompanied by all kinds of strange phenomena and evil natural disasters, and even the monster cave will not appear there."
"And the East End is facing the direction where Ataxus Big City is located."
"There is a straight road to the kingdom that connects nine state cities and twelve large settlements along the way."
"Every day a large number of merchants come to Magdam by crossing the long road along the straights."
"Their first stop was in the East End."
The kitten lady took his big hand.
The two chatted while strolling.
Chen Xuan still has a lot of common sense questions on Naroya's side that needs to be learned slowly.
"'The Wall of the Gods' is really an exaggerated name."
He let out an exclamation, but saw Rebecca take the initiative to answer.
"If you've seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't think it's an exaggeration..."
Hearing her say this made Chen Xuan interested.
"You just mentioned that the continent of Naroa is surrounded by natural disasters."
"Has anyone ever tried to travel through those places?"
In fact, he still couldn't imagine how spectacular it would be to block off the entire continent.
According to the information he had gathered before, the continent of Naroa was at least a hundred times the land area of all the continents of Blue Star combined.
This is still a conservative estimate, as there are still large areas of barren land without the presence of intelligent peoples.
In such a vast realm, there are still strange natural disaster areas?
It sounds like a natural disaster has sealed off an entire continent with a wall of God.
Maybe Chen Xuan had to take the time to go to the library in Magtan City.
Rebecca shook her head when it came to traversing the Scourge Territory.
"Long before the appearance of the monster caves, there were countless adventurers who tried to traverse those areas."
"But as long as you go deep into it, you will either die from a tyrannical natural disaster or die from unknown erosion."
"Hundreds of years ago, during the multi-ethnic alliance, there were even expeditionary forces, and the skills of multi-ethnic craftsmen were combined to build twelve sturdy super magic ships, in an attempt to cross the wind and thunder ocean."
"But only after the third Naroa day, only two of the twelve super-magic ships inscribed with a large amount of high-level magic remained, and they fled back in a dilapidated state."
"It is said that the surviving ships of the expeditionary force were not only attacked by unimaginable wind and thunder, but also saw elemental giants formed by the condensation of thunder and wind."
Rebecca led him through the streets and alleys, telling stories about the disaster in a brisk tone.
Adventurers may not be able to compare with those who study books.
But he is quite proficient in all kinds of rumors and ancient stories.
It is rare to have the opportunity to go shopping, and the mood of the kitten lady seems to be very happy.
If it weren't for the stench from the gutter on the street, Chen Xuan would have been as happy as her.
His intuition told him that the origin and current situation of the continent of Naroa were very unusual.
And after knowing the existence of the natural disaster area, he always felt that something was wrong.
To put it mildly, Naloa is like a place surrounded by "walls".
The monster caves that appear here and there are like rats coming in through their holes...
What prompted the monsters to attack the Naroa natives?
Is it just to satisfy the need for flesh and soul?
Chen Xuan thinks not necessarily!
Just as he was thinking, the little cat lady who was holding his hand and walking in front suddenly paused.
"Master, here we are."
"Crooked Bones Market ahead!"
