The group of people stayed in the dwarf fortress in the Doomsday Mountains for a few more days. On the one hand, it was difficult to refuse the host's hospitality, and on the other hand, of course, it was to exchange knowledge about runes.
The dwarf runes or other related magic patterns used on the Tower of the Great Sage are all targets that the dwarves want to consult. Of course, the exchange of knowledge will not be Lin's unilateral contribution. The dwarves also taught several runes that were rarely seen in the outside world, as well as some more orthodox ways of using runes for the dwarves.
The most special one among them is Sabhaji Shalin in Dwarf language. It's a long list to read, but in common language it can only be understood by two words: "lucky".
According to the dwarves, they rarely use this rune, mainly because of the high uncertainty. And most of the time there's no way of knowing whether it's working or not. But more importantly, if luck is regarded as the norm and it does not play a role at critical moments, it will be fatal.
Furthermore, we know from their experience that even if the holder does not take the so-called luck into consideration at the beginning, after using it for a long time, he will develop subconscious dependence, which also cannot withstand the test of critical moments. Many people who have owned such equipment have failed when luck happened not to play a role. So this rune makes the dwarves both love and hate it.
After accepting this deceptive rune, Lin and his party left the Doomsday Mountains and officially entered the old world of Lost Land.
The rumble of the carriage wheels and the tapping of horse hooves made this journey, which still feels unreal to this day, a bit more real.
I still remember that living in the urban jungle of the earth, it is not a big deal to be able to go out and travel in the countryside. But in Lost Land, these scenes are everywhere, especially in dangerous places.
During his apprenticeship in Midi, Lin couldn't relax while walking in the wild. Warcraft that must be guarded against at any time, or even ordinary beasts that rush out, can give oneself a happy moment at that time. More than once, the book would have died before the first chapter.
Now walking in this dangerous nature again, a certain person's mood is completely different. Not only are their strengths different, but their net worth is also different.
At the right front corner of the carriage is a small arcane eye early warning device. It is not powerful enough to manifest the shape of an eyeball, but it has all the detection functions previously developed. The warning distance is not often several kilometers or hundreds of kilometers, but there is enough time to respond to people walking in the wild.
The two wild girls went crazy during this period. Riding a horse, he ran all over the mountains and fields, and several times dragged a train back. If I were playing an online game now, I would definitely give the locomotive some support such as slowness and sap, and then hide far away, watching people roll over before picking up corpses. It's a pity that this is reality, or this is the reality of Lost Land. People must be saved,
He picked up the magic repeating crossbow in the weapon holster next to the driver's seat. This can barely be regarded as the research results during the period in Wulian City. Lin could only tell the two girls about the general structure of the organization, and then let Halumi and Kaya do experiments and research. Fortunately, the thinking of the two girls was not too twitchy, and what they came up with was quite satisfactory, not much different from what they imagined.
In order to be able to be used officially and used in battle, some parts that are prone to malfunction were replaced with more powerful and expensive magic materials, and magic was added to the weapon.
The continuous shooting mechanism is completely completed with a mechanism structure, and there is only one additional magic, which is the tracking arrow, the specialty of the elves. As for crossbow arrows, you can use magic arrows or ordinary arrows.
Of course, it is not something that ordinary people can do to bring out the full functionality of this magical repeating crossbow. At least to achieve the effect of tracking arrows, one must have mental power similar to magic locking, or undergo similar training. Otherwise, for ordinary people to use it, it would just be an ordinary repeating crossbow.
He leisurely picked up the weapon, probably aimed it at the train being dragged by two ignorant apprentices, and then turned the handle back and forth. The crossbow arrows followed an indescribable trajectory and hit the vital points accurately, almost one arrow at a time.
The animals in the lost land are very smart. At least after the two or three animals in front fell down, the other chasing beasts dispersed and stopped recklessly chasing the two wild girls who were riding horses. So the crisis was quickly resolved.
Unless there is the most urgent situation, Lin and his party will not take out the weapons at the bottom of the box that are used to save their lives. Of course, they will not let the lich who treats the weapons at the bottom of the box as conventional weapons do it. Whether you use a magic gun to fight monsters or wild beasts, as long as you hit the target, death is a sure thing. But it's after death that it gives people a headache. Because the leftover part may not be edible.
Maybe it's because I wasn't a rich man living in the United States in my previous life, so I couldn't just bring a rifle and go hunting wild animals in Africa. Killing is a very serious matter for Lin.
Hunting animals, in addition to protecting one's own life, is to satisfy one's hunger. He neither wants to kill for fun, nor does he want to hunt monsters just for a few beast crystals or specific materials. That is as bad as killing a shark and throwing the other parts back into the sea in order to eat its fins.
The animals hit by the magic gun may not appear to be seriously injured on the outside, but their insides are completely destroyed by magic.
There are studies on reducing the attack energy of the magic gun to a level of paralysis rather than death, but the problem is that there is no more objective experimental subject. Lin doesn't want to kill indiscriminately, whether the target is a human or an animal. Fen did experiment with her own body... but her feelings were comparable to others.
A certain Lich said it himself, it felt numb when he hit it. It was so powerful that it accidentally exploded the head of a big bear. From then on, someone didn't believe that the paralysis switch on the gun was just for good looks.
So even though everyone has been given magic guns for self-defense, under normal circumstances, Lin and the other three masters and apprentices still use various crossbows as conventional weapons. And the crossbow used now fully reflects what it means to be rich and wealthy. Even if the key positions of Isshiki's enchanted weapons are not magic materials, they are still high-end among conventional materials.
The arrows are even more worthy of mention. Just like I have read in history books, Yang Youji during the Spring and Autumn Period was a marksman who was always on target. The king of Chu's method of controlling this general was also very simple, which was to put away the arrows he used.
Don't think that this action is nothing. In fact, after arriving in the Lost Land, Lin confirmed with his own eyes how the people on earth were misled by movies and TV series. None of the arrows he could come into contact with in the Lost Lands were perfectly straight. Even the high-end products used by the elves have various bends, but the amplitude is not that large. They are completely different from the industrially produced arrows on the screen.
The impact of the irregular arrow body is directly reflected in the hit rate and range. So if you want to become a marksman, in addition to a good bow, you also need a good arrow. And this is the same on crossbows. So it’s no wonder that Kong Ming wanted to borrow arrows during the Three Kingdoms period, because it was really not easy to make a qualified arrow.
Without a lathe to make straight arrow shafts, Lin used all magic materials and magic shaping techniques to make many crossbow arrows. Even if these arrows are not enchanted, they are more destructive than ordinary arrows. Of course, in this case, recycling the crossbow arrows is a very important thing. All the money shot out is money.
Especially with the additional tracking arrow magic, it is unlikely that the shot will fly or miss. Even if you are not killed by an arrow, the monster or beast that was hit by the arrow will immediately turn around and run away. The arrows inserted into the body will also become a tracking source. The next few arrows do not need to be aimed visually. No matter how winding the terrain is, they can hit the target when fired.
It is said that after playing the magic crossbow to this extent, someone himself was speechless. Every time I use it, I have the same feeling every time. If such a crossbow were placed on Earth, who among the soldiers would have a rifle?
They dismembered the dead animals and removed the edible meat and disposed of it on the spot. If it is a monster, the parts that can be used as magic materials must also be removed. As for internal organs, considering the problem of parasites, they are usually buried or burned.
Generally speaking, such a fuss for two girls and the subsequent cleaning up would usually keep them busy until the evening, so they would camp nearby. Anyway, we are now wandering, with no destination and naturally no time limit. The sky is the quilt and the earth is the pavement, truly experiencing the life of a nomadic people.
Maybe buy another flock of sheep to herd? Or camel?
Just when someone was thinking wildly, Fen was leaning on the mound of soil spread out with velvet around the campfire, looking at the flames dancing flexibly. Master Lin and his apprentice were busy working for a long time during the day, but she stayed aside in a daze for a long time. After finally finishing her work at night, it was time to rest, but she was still listless.
After all, people have been at ease for a long time. They have been sleeping in the open air for many days. Not to mention the two girls gritting their teeth and holding on, he himself can't bear it anymore. Although Fen didn't say it clearly, she became more and more lazy to move, and almost took the salty attitude of her home in the community outside, completely ignoring her image outside.
Suddenly a meteor streaked across the sky, and Lin, who loved astronomy and stars, exclaimed, and Fencai lazily stretched his body, which had not moved for most of the day. It was like a statue that one dared not desecrate suddenly came to life, taking on a little more human flavor.
His refocused eyes looked at everything around him. Her expression was a little confused, as if she didn't know why she was here.
"I'm awake. Do you want to eat something?" Lin asked. The two little girls, who were accustomed to serving others, naturally gathered around their elder sister, handing out water and the game that had been prepared today. There is a completely different level of caring than someone else.
Not refusing the kindness of the two girls, Fen tore up pieces of meat and put them into his mouth in small bites. Instead, she focused on the man whose thoughts were wandering. After a while, he said: "It's been so many days since we left the Doomsday Mountains. Have you decided which way you want to go?"
"No, keep wandering."
"Oh." Fen said with a long meaning, and asked jokingly: "Don't you want to go to the Karlsruhe Empire?"
"What am I going to do in that country with a long name?"
"Meet my old flame."
