Chapter 9: Ebony and White Ivory: The Hunt in the Jungle (Part I)
Dudley's grandfather lived in the countryside, where there were beautiful hills and crystal lakes at the bottom, and Dursley's old house was located not far from the lake, and the old man's favorite thing was to go fishing with a fishing rod on a sunny day.
It's a great place to retire, quiet and cozy, with few people disturbing.
But to be honest, how could the old man not like his son and grandson to come to see him, today is another lively day, because Harry's birthday is coming, Uncle Vernon took advantage of the weekend to drive the family to the country, with a shotgun and happily set off.
Since the children were eight years old, he brought Harry here, and it took Harry less than an hour to fully learn the skills taught by his grandfather, and after he came back from beating two fat rabbits with his own hands, he would bring the children here when he was free, not just to feast on that bite of game.... Actually, it's true.
Harry's roasts, stews, and stews were so fragrant that the boy seemed to be a natural cook, and whenever the prey was processed into fragrant delicacies, he could always forget the fact that he was still living in the gastronomic desert of England.
"I'll go to the woods to have a look, I hope to get a deer back today, and then hunting will be banned for a while, and I have to wait until next year, rabbits are not as good as deer."
"Dudley, are you going?"
Harry shouted loudly in the direction of the back door.
"I'm digging the soil for my grandmother, and my grandmother said that I should look good if I am thinner, and I have to sweat!"
Dudley, who was carrying tools to help his grandmother reclaim the back garden, wiped his face, and instantly became a flower cat, but he didn't care about any of this.
"If you encounter pheasants, remember to get two of them, and I want to try the mud chicken I made last time."
"There are pheasants, remember to go to the lake later, and help grandpa get the fish back."
"Uncle Vernon, let's go, we need to be back before four o'clock, it will take a lot of work to deal with those things, I am not proficient in magic, but unfortunately I can use it this year, and I can't use magic outside after entering school."
"It's the same without magic." Uncle Vernon smiled happily, "Let's go Harry, let's go and get back quickly, I hope we have good luck today." ”
The two of them got into their grandfather's pickup truck, and Uncle Vernon's car was not suitable for driving on dirt roads in the countryside, let alone going into the mountains.
After more than half an hour's drive along a fairly flat road, they quickly left the town behind and plunged headlong into the hills and mountains.
This is a legal hunting ground, there is a limited time for deer hunting, but you don't need to hunt a lot of pheasants, rabbits and squirrels are too, and wild boars also have them, but this guy's meat is hard and smelly, and to be honest, it is not delicious.
After parking the car, Harry got out of the car, Uncle Vernon's three-hundred-pound body was not suitable for entering the mountains, and he had to go out of breath after not going far, this kind of thing was done alone or with Dudley, he waved at Uncle Vernon, and trotted into the woods.
Because this world has always used clean electricity, the damage to the forest is not great, in England, the brown bear is not extinct, and even many wild animals are showing signs of flooding, must be open hunting regularly, let the hunters control the population with signs of flooding, so as to maintain ecological stability, the beast has been killed by people because of the danger, and naturally it will take a little other effort.
Harry's visit to the mountain had another consideration, he needed a proving ground without neighbors and strangers to try his spells, as well as his wand.
His two wands, the ebony M1911 in his left hand and the white ivory Glock G18 in his right hand, have completely different properties.
Ebony is a powerful single-shot wand that has a cast interval similar to a cooldown CD, about a second, and seems to consume more mana when casting, and has a more muffled sound when firing.
White ivory is different, it is very light, the trigger is very sensitive and light, the spell can be cast continuously, one after another, it consumes less magic than ebony, the gun sound is crisp, and most importantly, the white ivory gun has a fast and slow handle that changes the firing pattern, up is a single shot, down is a burst, fully automatic burst.
As long as Harry uses the spell and pulls the trigger, the same magic will pour out at a rate of three rounds per second, and this is by no means the limit of white ivory, although Harry is only self-taught, although he uses magic, it is clear that his spell casting has a lot of room for improvement, if he has a formal and good education, Harry believes that he can quickly fire eight to ten spells per second with white ivory, although it is only about half the rate of fire of a real automatic Glock, but Harry is already very content, No matter how fast he was, he felt that his mana would not be supplied.
The process of using a spell is usually to gather mana to condense the bullet, then cast a spell to create a bullet called magic, pull the trigger, and the spell fires.
The concentration and speed of mana was the key to limiting the rate of fire of the White Ivory, but this was a problem for Harry, not for the other wizards, because they couldn't do Harry's way.
According to the book "Duel Etiquette, Basics, and Advancement" written by Professor Flitwick, wizards do not seem to have the ability to fire in full automatic bursts, in this book, Professor Flitwick posted a lot of wand shapes, which are suitable for different types of dueling occasions with different needs, such as a twenty-step standard fighting arena, an indoor obstacle encounter duel arena, and a large dueling arena in open space.
The weapons in it are all single-shot firearms without exception, even if they have the ability to fire repeatedly, such as AK47, M4A1, L85A1, HK416, etc., they are all single-shot versions.
Full automaticity doesn't seem to exist in the wizarding world, and wizards who are good at dueling have all practiced a Kato Taka hand, and the faster you pull the trigger, the faster the spell will naturally shoot.
Harry knew he was an exception.
The limit on the total amount of mana that wizards didn't exist in the first place became a problem for Harry to face because of the automatic burst of white ivory.
Almost every 100 rounds of ammunition with a high rate of fire would have forced Harry to take a breather and regain his mana, but the steady, single-shot ebony could make up for some of the vacuum's combat power.
Harry has been familiar with the content of "Standard Spells: Elementary" in a very short period of time, and he even has time to look at the textbooks of the senior grades, the magic to be learned in the first grade is all small spells for daily life, not difficult, or even very simple, and the additional second and third grade spell textbooks, Harry can only learn some simple ones, and some of the skills are vague in the books, and these contents need to be taught by the professors.
Harry's best weapon is to remove you, this spell seems to have been born for him, the other spells Harry needs to try a few times to master, and the disarming spell....
Harry held up his white tusks, and he saw a porcupine in front of him.
"Except for your weapons!"
Harry pulled the trigger, and the crisp sound of gunfire rang out, and before he learned the Silent Spell, any magic would make a magical explosion, like the sound of gunpowder bursting.
The recoil of the burst made Harry's right arm tense, and the iron-like arm and body resisted the impact of the shock, and a series of red lights burst out, and the frightened porcupine ran away, but the spell had been hit one after another.
There is still a problem with the fully automatic burst of the Glock 18, that is, the accuracy is not very high, a little worse than a submachine gun, let alone a rifle, but at a range of 50 meters, this splashed red bullet is not crooked.
The porcupine that was hit by the disarming spell was suffering the most miserable moment of the pig's life at this moment, and the rigid needle he used as a weapon were confiscated by the disarming spell, and instantly became bare, and the hairless porcupine screamed hysterically, and ran into the forest with a puff of smoke.
"Whew~"
Harry spun the muzzle of his gun and blew the non-existent smoke.
"Cool!"
After experimenting with some magic in a reckless manner, he put away his twin guns, removed the real hunting rifle from his back, checked the rechargeable batteries, adjusted the sights, and headed deeper into the woods.
