Chapter 5 Mercenary School
Hans continued to learn the language and writing, and as the year passed imperceptibly, he became a little taller, but he was only about 1.7 meters, and he was still a little thin as before. Looking at the hunters and even fishermen in the village, all of them are physically strong, they all feel a little inferior. However, he still remembered that his genes had been modified, and although he couldn't notice any difference after the modification, he always felt that he should be a little special.
On this day, he sat alone on the beach and thought about what happened when he woke up. He was supposed to be in a lifeboat, but according to Marie, the day before he was discovered, there was a big explosion in the Marin Snow Mountain, so it is possible that he was blown up from the snow mountain and fell into the lake, and then was washed to the shore by the big waves.
The process freed him from the lifeboat, and he lost the lifeboat and most of his equipment, and if he all fell into the lake, the chances of finding it were slim.
He carefully observed the two arm guards, the shape of the left and right arms was basically symmetrical, and when put on, they covered the entire forearm and the back of the hand, which should be very hard and light in weight, and did not feel that it would hinder the movement of the hand.
The arm guard on his right hand carries offensive equipment, and there is a small hole in the front of the armguard, which is what he has tried to use an electric pulse gun before, but this gun is too tricky, a bullet actually consumes 80% of the power, and the bullet fired out is not physical, as if it is made of energy convergence. The front and rear telescopic knife does not use much energy, and can be divided into forward and backward extension, but the blade is very short, and it can only extend a position that is a little longer than the palm.
The left hand arm guard can pop out fan-shaped metal pieces from both sides of the arm guard, forming a circular shield. There are two electrodes on the front of the armguards, which can generate a strong instantaneous current, which seems to be an offensive weapon. Between the two electrodes, there is a small round hole that spews out flames and also air. If the two switches are turned on at the same time, it will become a wind weld, which is estimated to be used to cut some ordinary metals. It also seems to have a bit of a heat insulation function, because the flamethrower doesn't feel like the back of the hand gets hot when you use it.
In addition, both armguards have a small display showing the remaining charge, and an electronic clock and compass on the left arm, which apparently has also stopped in the lifeboat, and still shows the year 2035. Although Hans did not understand that Weishenme could eject fire and air with only electricity, it was clear that either using an electric stunner or spraying flame or air would consume electricity. And it takes a whole day to fill up an activity after the battery runs out, and it is much slower if you don't do it. However, it is also possible to charge the right arm through the electrodes of the left arm, which can be regarded as an emergency solution.
When I was a child, I only learned the skills of hand-to-hand duels, and I never used any weapons, so it seems that I have to find some time to learn slowly.
At this time, a hunter from the village happened to pass by, and when he looked at Hans's armguard, he felt a little strange, and asked, "Hans, what are you?"
Hans immediately covered it with his clothes and said, "This ...... It was a toy that my dad used to make for me, but now I can't find him. ”
The hunter said, "It's okay Hans, you are no longer a child, you should learn to be self-reliant, and maybe you will have a chance to find your parents in the future." By the way, how old are you?"
"I'm 16 years old"
"16 years old, that's an adult, you can go to battle, but you have to learn some skills, there is a mercenary school in Desa Town, you can teach people the skills of fighting, the hunters in our village have basically learned there, you can consider going there to learn, and we can go hunting together in the future." Of course, if you call me Master, I can teach you hunting skills, but really, you can learn more in school. If you need to, you can ask me later, I'm going back now. As he spoke, he walked slowly into the village.
Hans said thoughtfully, "Mercenary school?"
That night, Hans suggested to Marley that he wanted to go to mercenary school.
"Son, you've grown up, and it's a good thing to go to a mercenary school to learn combat skills," said Marley. But if you're going, don't think about being a hunter in the future, and if you can get a haode score, you can pick up a little bounty combat mission in the city of Fran. It's more haode, or you can get hired by the French army to be the captain of the soldiers. ”
After a moment of silence, Marie continued: "A year ago, King Patton of France declared a state of war with the country of Jelin on the other side of the snow-capped mountain, and it is said that this is related to the explosion of the snow-capped mountain of Marin, and if the war really starts, our village will become the front line of the battle. It's also a good thing to be able to go to school to learn some life-saving methods, and the school fees are not too expensive, and we can afford it. ”
As soon as Hans heard that it was about him, he wanted to ask again, but Marley didn't know much. Although there were regular patrols, there was no real fight between the two countries. Moreover, there is another town in the snow-capped mountains of the French country, called the town of Artley, which is the most marginal area of the French country, and it is estimated that it has now become a fortress against the enemy.
......
A month later, Hans enrolled in a new class of freshmen at the Mercenary School in Dessa. The town of Desa is not too far from the village of Modo, but in order to make Hans more hode, Marie decides to let Hans stay at the school, which adds up to his expenses, and Marie even conceals that Hans has borrowed some money from a neighbor to cover the expenses.
Although Marie didn't say it, Hans knew that the cost of 10 gold coins a year was a lot of money for their tavern. He can only silently remember this kindness, and repay this kind village woman who treats him like a son in the future.
Hans quickly adapted to the school accommodation and started his first lessons. In one of the school's houses, there are more than 60 classmates in the classroom, all of them from nearby villages, and even a few from Française. To Hans's surprise, there were two or three others in the cadets who were as dark-haired as him, and it seemed that none of the inhabitants of France were of the same race.
The instructor was a young female instructor with long blond hair scattered over her shoulders and a black mage robe with a sword-shaped mark of a mercenary school painted on the back of the robe.
She stood on the stage and said: "Let me introduce myself first, I am your instructor Alice, our school is a combat school, but before you learn to fight, there are some things you must learn first......"
Then, throughout the day, Hans listened attentively to the basics, for he knew less than the rest of the natives. For the first time, he saw a map of the Kingdom of France and the surrounding countries.
The Kingdom of France has existed for 1300 years, and it used to be just a small country close to the snow-capped mountains, because the Marin Snow Mountains are the production area of Marin crystals, relying on the mining of Marin crystals to make the kingdom's army grow, and then gradually invade the nearby small countries, until today's territory. The current Kingdom of France is bordered by Marin Snow Mountain in the north, Lake Maid in the west, Dazhou Kingdom in the southwest, Yingge Forest in the south, Ninghai State in the southeast, and then the coastline of the East China Sea is basically all in the east.
The only river that flows out of Lake Maid is called the Maid River, which runs through the entire kingdom of Frankland in the south of the country, and flows from west to east into the East Sea. It was not until it was close to the mouth of the sea that it was across the shore from Ninghai State. The water in Lake Mead may come from snowmelt from snow-capped mountains, or it may come from underground water sources. The Mede River and the Marin Snow Mountains became important pillars of the economy of the Kingdom of France.
In the interior of France, there are many mountains, which give the country a stable income for steel resources, wood resources, and even beast resources.
Although it is difficult for the flange to expand outward on the territory, because it has relatively rich resources, the surrounding countries are looking at the french country, and the flange country has been in a state of war or preparation for war for more than 1,300 years.
After giving an overview of the country of France, Alice also mentioned the basic situation of the country of Jielin, which is currently at war with France, and the country of Ninghai, which may attack France at any time. The other continent that borders France is a neutral country, which has always maintained a defensive posture and rarely invaded foreign countries.
Then there is the basic composition of the domestic combat units, and Hans is particularly attentive when he hears this.
The legal combat units in the country include the military of the subordinate state, and there are also freelance "mercenaries", the army is supported by the state, and the mercenaries are charged a commission for each mission, and the mercenaries themselves choose whether to do the task or not. On the contrary, the management of the army is much stricter.
Of course, there are also illegal armed groups, such as bandit groups that make a living by looting everywhere, and underground business groups with armed liliang.
The army has a strict division of professions, which can be divided into two main categories, warriors and magicians.
The so-called warrior is a unit that relies on physical liliang and skill, using weapons and equipment to fight the enemy, and the warrior is divided into heavy warriors, lightly armed warriors, assassins, land cavalry, flying cavalry, and archers.
The division of mages is divided according to their respective positions, such as ranged mages, combat mages, auxiliary mages, circle masters, healing mages, etc.
Mages also have special titles, usually those who are proficient in a certain elemental magic can be called mages, and they teach others the art of magic in addition to coping with combat. If there are people who can be proficient in more than three different series of magic, they can be called great magicians. The most famous magician in France, Medea Marin, is a great magician, but she also has a unique title - the Demon God of France, which represents the strongest magician in France.
Before he knew it, the first day of classes was over, and on the way back to his accommodation, Hans suddenly heard a person behind him say something about the "Big Bang in the Snow Mountain", which caught his attention, and then he slowed down to listen to what they had to say.
It turned out to be one of the people mentioned in the class, Medea Marin. She is a flange demon god and is proficient in more than three types of magic, but no one knows how many there are. Moreover, it was this famous magician who was seriously injured in the explosion of the snow-capped mountains a year ago, and after being rescued, he recuperated in the royal city, and has not appeared in public until now. Also unseen is her husband, Ares Wolf, the god of war. It is said that because of this incident, the King of France declared a state of war with the kingdom of Jaelin.
Hans was thinking that since he was probably awakened by the big bang in Shijie, then the two people mentioned above probably knew a little bit about the situation, but those big people didn't seem to be able to have anything to do with them, not to mention that they were no longer in public, and the chances of being able to contact them were even slimmer, so they could only silently remember their names.
