Chapter 20: The Mercenary Club
There are three receptionists at the front desk, one of whom guides Hobart through the club without interfering with the work of the front desk.
The receptionist who entertained Hobart was a young girl in her twenties, well-dressed and talkative.
She introduced herself: "You can call me Anas, does Mr. Hobert want to practice pistol or rifle?" ”
Hobart said, "Hello Anas, I want to practice my revolver. ”
"Yes sir, the pistol's range is in the backyard!" Anas explains, "You can go to the weapons showroom to pick a gun and pick up your bullets.
"Each member has a free quota of 500 rounds of ammunition per month, which can also be taken out and used if there is a 'gun license', but if there is no 'gun license', it can only be used in the shooting range.
"In addition, the club will provide members with practice guns, which can only be used at the shooting range, and if you want to buy a gun, you also need a 'gun license', which has a complete range of firearms than any weapons store, and the price is cheaper."
As she spoke, Anas led Hobart to the weapons showroom, which was filled with all sorts of pistols, shotguns, rifles, and even high-pressure steam rifles.
Anas said: "In addition to high-pressure steam rifles and new submachine guns, you can choose any other types of guns. ”
It was under Anas's guidance that Hobart saw the submachine gun, which he had never seen before, with its bulky body and round magazines. The only thing that was familiar to Hobart was that the magazine was stuck on top of the machine gun.
Hobart asked, "Can I buy a machine gun too?" ”
Carry this thing out, and if you go head-to-head, there is no opponent below Sequence 7!
"Sorry sir, you are not eligible to purchase." Anas explained with a smile, "Only mercenary squads that have been in the mercenary club for more than three years, or veteran officers, can buy it.
"Possession and use in the city are also not allowed after purchase, and the firearm will need to be sent to the club every three months for inspection and reported for the last three months.
"Even if it is scrapped, or if the gun has suffered a serious blow, the main parts must be brought back."
Hobart understood: "Avoid leaks!" ”
"Yes." Anas smiled: "The high-pressure steam rifles and submachine guns produced by the Kingdom of Rune are the most advanced firearms in the world, and even the army has not yet completed large-scale installation. ”
Hobert sighed: The backstage of this club is very hard!
He still honestly chose a revolver, there are several kinds of revolvers, and there is a revolver with a long barrel that looks very powerful, but the body of the gun is too heavy and it is not easy to carry. Too small to look like a deterrent, Hobert finally chose a pistol with a barrel as long as an adult's palm and a body that looked quite industrial.
After choosing his gun, Hobert received another fifty rounds of ammunition and left the weapons warehouse.
Anas explained the location of the dining room and bathroom, and informed her of the lunch time before she took Hobart to the shooting range.
On the way there, Hobart asked, "I heard that there are also gatherings or information exchange forums here?" ”
"Yes." "There is an information wall in the second room on the third floor that turns left, where you can write information that is published for free, and you can enter as long as you have the badge of this club.
"For some valuable information, you can write a brief introduction of the information, or a few keywords, and leave a communication method with the staff, and if there is a buyer, we will immediately contact the seller of the information.
"In addition, the party is once a week, in the first room on the third floor to turn left, and on Sundays it starts at half past two in the afternoon, and you can participate with the badge of this club."
Hobert nodded, it's time to take a look today.
As soon as you get out, the shooting range is right in front of you.
It looks like the backyard was originally a garden, and there are many ornamental trees and flowers around the shooting range, but they are not well cared for, and these plants are a little listless.
Hobert casually asked, "The club's grounds seemed to be a residence before." ”
"Yes." Anas, who led the way in front, said: "This was one of Viscount Pound's properties before. ”
Hobert was stunned, is it Raft Pound's "Pound"?
As if chattering, he asked, "Pound?" Why don't I have an impression of this viscount? ”
Anas said casually: "It is said that because this lord is addicted to gambling and wine, Viscount Pound was demoted to a baron more than ten years ago. ”
Hobert asked again, "How many other family members are there in the Pound family now?" ”
"I heard that there is only one person left in the whole family." Anas shook her head: "I don't know either. ”
Hobert let out an "oh" and didn't ask any more.
Arriving at the solo range, after Anas left, Hobart did not immediately practice his gun, but thought about the Pound family.
Based on Hobert's observation in the previous week, Raft usually behaved like a down-and-out nobleman, and it was basically certain that Raft Pound should be a member of the Pound family.
But the question is, why can you see Raft in the stars in front of the "Iron Throne"?
If Elliot Balk's star did not appear in front of the "Iron Throne" because of a curse, but because he was a member of the extraordinary family of the "lawyer" pathway, and there would be his star in the waterhole, then could the Pound family also be an extraordinary family of the "lawyer" path?
Thinking of this, Hobert shook his head. I know too little information now, and it's not good to check it rashly, so I can only observe it for a while. When it comes to it, you can ask the "Miss Justice", who is also a nobleman, to help investigate the down-and-out nobles of Beckland, and after obtaining enough information, she may be able to get more information by bluffing Raft with the personality of the "State of Disorder".
Having made up his mind, Hobert planned to put the matter aside for now, although it would be much more convenient to have his own "believers" in Beckland, but not to risk it.
Hobert began to concentrate on practicing the gun, and after firing a few shots, he withdrew the cartridge case and loaded the bullet, and concluded that even a revolver had a strong shock when fired, and of course it could be because the gun he chose was more powerful than the pistols on the market.
Then he began to try to shoot with his vision on, after all, when he was hostile to others in the future, he would have to fight while turning on his vision.
After six bullets, Hobert found that his hit rate was much higher when he turned on his vision.
This should be the role of an extraordinary trait, not only to find the opponent's weaknesses, but also to increase the accuracy of attacking the opponent's weaknesses.
The only pity is that this body is not very suitable for using a pistol, so the hit rate is only a little higher, and there is still a long way to go from "100 shots and 100 hits".
After firing more than 20 bullets, Hobert's arm was a little numb from the shock, and he rested for more than ten minutes before he finished all the remaining bullets.
Next, Hobert plans to take a look at the information wall.
