Chapter 5: Hunter Archery
Li Qiuzhi pondered for a moment, organized the language and said:
“... Hmm, that's Mr. Hunter, do you take in an apprentice?
"I've always wanted to be an adventurer, but I'm not confident in my own strength, so I want to become a hunter first and learn the experience and skills of surviving in the wild."
Reality is not a game, at least in terms of words, Li Qiuzhi feels that it should be respected.
Draff was a little surprised that he didn't expect to come as an apprentice, well... If there is an apprentice, it can really help him to help him and ease his work.
It's that the Mora he usually earns from hunting is either used to maintain family expenses or drink, and he can't afford to pay an apprentice.
Draff touched the back of his head with some embarrassment, smiled politely and said:
"Haha, young man, you don't have to have a very good skill to be an adventurer, you can help run errands in the city, and you are also an adventurer!"
Draff is right, it's easy to become an adventurer, but an adventurer who doesn't leave the city can't fight monsters.
"What kind of adventurer is an adventurer who doesn't leave the city, don't worry, Mr. Hunter, I don't need Mora, I just hope I can learn something!"
Li Qiuzhi could see that Draff was still a little moved, but what factors could make him refuse, thinking that he had a hobby of drinking, maybe it was Mora's problem.
Looking at the sincere eyes of the young man in Liyue, Draff couldn't bear to refuse.
Having an apprentice by your side does make a big difference, at least not when you encounter a dangerous monster, and you don't even have the manpower to go to the patrolling Favonius Knight for help.
And the Mora that is not needed can be saved......
"Ahem." But in order to prevent the young man from suffering and making him happy in vain, Draff coughed lightly and said solemnly, "It is not easy to be a hunter, there is a certain danger, and injuries are frequent, are you really sure?" ”
"Of course, Mr. Hunter, I just want to try, but if I can't do it, I can be regarded as having tried, this is my ideal."
Li Qiuzhi thought that Draff might refuse politely, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Draff folded his arms, looked at the street in front of him, thought for a moment, put down his hands and said:
"Well, although I don't know what your considerations are, I'm also very new to you, it's just the first time I've met, but since you're willing to try, I'm not a stingy person, I'll take you for a month, and it's up to you what you can learn!"
In fact, he also had the idea of carrying forward his hunting skills, and now the young people in the town are not willing to follow the older generation to do this, and always want to run to the city.
Alas, now that I meet a young man from Liyue who is willing to learn, it doesn't hurt to teach.
When he returns to Liyue, he may meet someone who says he met a great hunter teacher in Mondstadt.
Draff's mind drifted somewhere.
"Really? Thank you Hunt... Ah, Mr. Draff, I'll study it carefully. ”
Li Qiuzhi was patiently excited, his growth path has made progress again, and the day of galloping Teyvat is not far away!
After calming down, Li Qiuzhi briefly introduced himself and asked Draff when he would start hunting.
"Li Qiuzhi, the name of the Liyue people is really hard to pronounce." Draff was a little emotional when he heard Li Qiuzhi's introduction, and then Zhengse said, "The matter about hunting is scheduled for the afternoon, I have just finished my business in the city and will return to Qingquan Town, and you will be waiting for me at the gate of the city at that time." ”
"Yes, Mr. Draff, thank you."
Li Qiuzhi greeted slightly and expressed his gratitude again.
"Okay, there's no need to use too distant honorifics, we are not a teacher-student relationship, let's just think of it as an exchange of experience between hunters' seniors and juniors."
Draff waved his hand and said with a smile. Li Qiuzhi watched him step on the stone road and leave, with anticipation for the arrival of the afternoon.
While there was still time to spare, Li Qiuzhi continued to walk the streets of Mondstadt, familiarizing himself with everything here.
Time passed like water, and in the afternoon, Li Qiuzhi put on the set of clothes that Amber bought for him with five thousand morals, and came to the city gate to wait for Draff.
Speaking of which, the 5,000 Mora that bought the clothes should also be returned to Amber at that time, but you can't take advantage of the girl.
didn't let Li Qiuzhi wait long, Draff in a hunter's costume appeared again, carrying a pair of hunting bows on his back and another pair in his hand, he handed the hunting bow in his hand to Li Qiuzhi and said:
"This bow is the one I used before, and it's very suitable for the introductory learning of archery, so you can use it first."
Li Qiuzhi took it, this was the first time he had come into contact with bows and arrows in his life, it looked a little old on the surface, but it was not damaged at all, which was very good.
Under Draff's guidance, he carried a hunting bow and quiver, and finally looked a bit like a hunter's apprentice.
“... Well, that's good. Draff nodded in satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice, "There is another reason why I agreed to take you with me for guidance. ”
"Another reason?" Li Qiuzhi was puzzled.
Draff smiled and explained:
"Recently, there have been more beasts in the Whispering Forest and the Lookout Mountains, which may affect people's travel.
"So the Knights of Favonius suggest that the hunters of Qingquan Town can come here to hunt more, I think I may not be able to take it alone if there is more prey, so in order to avoid waste, I will ask you to work harder."
"Of course, isn't that exactly what an apprentice is supposed to do!"
Li Qiuzhi said happily.
Perhaps Draff doesn't think it's a big deal to bring someone around to share his hunting experience, but it's very important for Li Qiuzhi, and learning how to bow and arrow will greatly improve his combat effectiveness.
"Haha, young people should be so energetic, let's go, whether it is the craft of hunting or experience, the fastest way to learn is in practice."
Draff patted Li Qiuzhi on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow, and the two stepped onto the Mondstadt Bridge, startling away a flock of pigeons that were foraging for food.
The freshness of the grass swept across his cheeks with the breeze, and on the way to the hunt, Draff said to Li Qiuzhi:
"The hunting craft in Qingquan Town, you have to learn the bow first, originally I started to teach the younger generations to use it since I was a child, and after a few years of learning, I can follow the adults to hunt and further learn other hunting skills.
"Bows and arrows are hard to learn, it's good to be able to get into the door in a month, you can start with a bow now."
It is not difficult to hold a bow, the important thing is to hold it steadily, stability is the basis of learning a bow, how to shoot accurately if it is unstable?
On his way to the Whispering Forest, Draff began to instruct Li Qiuzhi to learn the art of hunter archery.
The basics of holding a bow, picking up arrows, and how to shoot arrows can reduce physical exertion and conceal your body.
It is an archery art that was born specifically for hunting.
