"Here." With a face full of expectations, Ryan handed the ten arrows in his hand to Colin, who screamed strangely: "My boss, have mercy on me, when will this nightmare end? .”
Thomas said with an upright face: "For our sake and the future of the empire, Colin, please give it a try as soon as possible."
Colin rolled his eyes and said to Thomas: "Idiot, you are so great, you might as well do it."
"I think so, Colin." Thomas deliberately hit Colin and said, "But as I said, the magic arrays on the shafts of these bows and arrows are imitations of the white feather arrows of the cloaked man. It's best to use a short bow. try."
"I can lend you my short bow," Colin said immediately.
"Didn't you say that your weapons are just like the woman you love, and you will never lend them to anyone else?" Thomas replied slowly,
"Okay, okay." Just when Colin was about to continue speaking, Ryan interrupted their prevarication and said directly to Colin: "I have improved a lot in details this time. Should the problem arise? Not big."
"But, head..." Colin said submissively: "You said the same thing last time, but the arrow exploded as soon as it left the bowstring."
"That was the last time, and that will never happen again." Ryan comforted Colin and said,
And Thomas gloated: "Yes, what you said is definitely right. This time it will definitely not explode as soon as it leaves the bowstring, but it will explode directly on the bowstring. Oh..." Thomas immediately exploded before he finished speaking. He closed his mouth and covered it firmly with his hand, because he saw the purple light on Ryan's hand, which was a sign that the magic missile was ready.
Colin did not dare to say anything more. He just looked at Ryan with a pleading look on his face with his last hope. However, Ryan did not waver at all. In desperation, Colin had no choice but to take the ten feathers that Ryan handed to him. The arrow was drawn out and placed on the string of his short bow. When Thomas saw Colin's action, he immediately screamed: "Wait a minute, wait until I find a hiding place before shooting."
Thomas yelled, and without stopping, he rushed behind the trunk of a big tree in a few steps. He hid his body behind the thick tree, only half of his face was exposed, and he watched carefully. Colin, no, to be precise, looking at the ten arrows in Colin’s hand,
Ryan motioned with his hand to Colin not to dawdle, and the latter saw that he could not shirk it, so he could only slowly pull the bow string, and at the same time muttered in a voice that he could not hear: "Can't you use someone else to do the experiment? This is the fourth batch."
This is not to blame for Colin's timidity, mainly because the finished product made by Ryan is not mature enough. Since Ryan defeated the cloaked man, he began to study the skills in this area through the magic circle on the white feather arrows left by the cloaked man. The cloak Human arrows are only blessed with some wind magic arrays, which can make these arrows fly faster and hit the target more easily. However, for Ryan, the practicality of this design is not very good. He prefers I hope to be able to add magic to the arrow shaft like making a magic scroll.
This is indeed a little more difficult for Ryan, but anyway, Ryan and the others are rushing to Moon City, and there is nothing going on along the way, so Ryan uses all available time on the road to study and design, starting from Vic The magic circle stacking learned from Duo Na, the magic item production and use skills learned from Lier and York, and the basics of magic circle production learned from the Elmida Magic Guild, slowly gained in Ryan's own practice. He understood it thoroughly, and the magic arrows conceived by Ryan slowly turned from imagination into reality.
Ryan walked on the road for four days. Including today's batch, Ryan made a total of sixty arrows. However, the fifty arrows made before all failed without exception. There were many reasons for the failure. There are various reasons, some of which are because the magic circle that Ryan blessed on the arrows did not take effect, and some of which are because the effects of the magic circle are different from those expected. However, every failure will give Ryan a little more experience in this area, and these experiences will also make Ryan The finished products are getting better and better,
Of course, getting better and better also has a side effect, that is, the arrows produced can explode like a fireball scroll, but this kind of explosion is uncontrollable. Take the last time as an example, Colin just let go The bow string, the arrow with the miniature fireball technique added to it by Ryan, exploded on the spot, blowing Colin's hair into a fluffy black mass. Although he was not injured, Colin's psychological The shock was too great, and he finally understood how Ryan's opponents felt when facing Ryan's magic.
Colin closed his eyes and took a deep breath. This was a technique he learned from Ryan. It is said that such deep breathing can quickly relieve the tension in his heart. Colin opened his eyes and only felt the tension in his heart. The tension eased a lot. He slowly drew the string of the short bow in his hand and aimed at the target about fifty meters away.
"Whoosh." Colin let go of the bowstring, and the arrow that was blessed with a magic circle by Ryan immediately flew out. According to Ryan's prior design, after the arrow was launched, the magic circle on it would be activated. , when the arrow hits the target, the fireball attached to the arrow shaft will explode, just like using a scroll. Of course, during the experiment, Ryan compressed the power of this fireball to the minimum to avoid accidentally injuring his own people. ,
"Bang." The arrow hit the target accurately, and the arrow shot directly into the trunk of the big tree, but there was no explosion effect as expected by Ryan.
"Alas, it failed. It was probably because the wind magic circle was not stable enough." Ryan shook his head and motioned for Colin to continue.
"No, no." Ryan looked at the second arrow shot by Colin, shook his head desperately and said, "This is a failed work, next one."
"Yes, this works very well. It would be perfect if it didn't explode during flight."
"Oh, Colin, are you okay? I admit that this is my fault. Well, don't look at me with such innocent eyes. I am also a human being. People will inevitably make mistakes. Well, I really don't know it. It exploded as soon as it was placed on the bowstring, but I didn't put much mana into it, so your hairstyle is a little bit, um, a little bit different, hehe."
"Hey, why did this arrow break in the middle? It's probably because I damaged the wooden arrow shaft too much when I was making the magic circle."
…
Colin put the last arrow on the bowstring with a dusty face, and at the same time prayed desperately in his heart that it would not explode before it was fired. Thomas looked at Colin with sympathy, he really said just now That's right, there really was an arrow that exploded when Colin pulled the bowstring hard, and Colin's upper body was immediately enveloped in a cloud of thick smoke. Fortunately, these works of Ryan's have deliberately reduced their power, otherwise Thomas will have no one to argue with in the future.
Colin focused his attention on the bowstring made from the tendons of Talen cattle. He watched the bowstring being slowly stretched. When the bowstring was stretched to its maximum, Colin breathed a sigh of relief. , he closed his eyes and loosened the bowstring,
"Whoosh." The arrow flew out with a sharp whistling sound,
Colin opened one eye and secretly looked at the arrow he shot, but unexpectedly found that it did not fly accurately to the target in the distance. This was because he closed his eyes when shooting, so This last arrow deviated from its trajectory, and it was very likely that it would miss nothing and just fall to the ground.
This discovery made Colin very embarrassed. He is one of the most elite shooters in mankind, and now he missed the target. Is there anything more embarrassing than this? Colin looked at the arrow with a blushing face, and with difficulty He opened his mouth and wanted to explain something to Ryan. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he saw the arrow flying in mid-air, suddenly torn open, and a hot flame burst from the arrow shaft. It burst out and swallowed the entire arrow almost instantly.
"Boom." A large ball of flame appeared in front of everyone, and Ryan jumped up excitedly: "Awesome, successful."
Everyone looked at Ryan with a strange look. They didn't expect that he could make such a powerful arrow just by relying on items made by others and through his own research. When they thought of this kind of arrow that looked like a fireball scroll, it was flying. An explosion occurred when approaching the target, and Colin and Thomas became excited. Ryan's finished product completely subverted the meaning of a shooter. It not only enhanced the power of the shooter's shooting, but also allowed the shooter to deal with as many people as possible at the same time. a goal,
Ryan himself is also very happy. Now this kind of arrow has really been made by him. This also means that in the fierce battle, Colin and Thomas can do things that they could not do before, and provide their companions fighting on the front line with Provide more and more powerful threats. Unfortunately, this kind of arrows requires Ryan to make them slowly one by one, so the output is quite low. Ryan and his team are on the road again, and it is impossible to stop and make large-scale production.
Two days later, while everyone was sitting around the campfire enjoying dinner, Ryan solemnly handed the three magic arrows to Colin, which made Thomas, who was sitting next to Colin, very jealous. , after Ryan walked away, Thomas hugged Colin and whispered in his ear: "Three bottles of malt wine, I will exchange one with you."
Colin was in a great mood at this time. His efforts along the way were finally rewarded, and he could also see Thomas humbling and begging for himself. He was so happy. Colin waited for Thomas to say a lot of good things, and then put the three of them together. He held an arrow in his hand and said to Thomas: "These are arrows for bows and arrows. You can't use your hand crossbow."
Thomas then remembered this matter. He first showed his middle finger to Colin, and then said loudly to Ryan: "Boss, don't just give it to Colin, make a few for me too."
Ryan shook his head slightly and said: "I copied them from bow arrows at first, so I made a few for Colin first. After a few days, I will think about how to add these magic circles to the crossbows. Yours The crossbow arrows are completely different from his bow arrows in terms of length, thickness and even function, and there are too many areas that need improvement.”
"Oh." Thomas sat down disappointedly.
"Oh, by the way, Ryan." Allendo suddenly remembered something, and he said to Ryan: "Did you find anything new about the cloak fragment I gave you?"
