Chapter 639: Secret Door (2)

This starts with an inconspicuous crack on the handle of this short crossbow!

Among the technologies of the Parada Empire, the short crossbow used by the crossbowmen consists of a wooden crossbow arm, a bow and a crossbow machine made of fine iron.

The crossbow is the core component of the short crossbow. The crossbow is responsible for fixing the loaded bow string. The mechanism that hooks the bow string is connected to the trigger on the handle. According to the structure and smelting process of the crossbow, the short crossbow can have a variety of characteristics;

The main wood used in crossbow arms and bows is called cusp, which is one of the common woods in the human empire. Thick and elastic cusp can not only make short crossbows, but also the short bows commonly used by elven adventurers. Plant wood.

All this does not seem unusual, but the suspicion comes from the handle of the short crossbow, which has a slightly unnatural crack - the crossbow arm above the crack is indeed made of mulberry wood, but below the crack, the handle The wood used is red pine, a specialty of Red Pine City.

Maybe the Thieves Guild smuggles defective products from the human empire, and then resells them at a high price after being repaired and re-modified by local elven craftsmen?

Regarding the inconsistency between the two types of wood, George had some guesses in his mind. In order to verify these guesses, he used his skill to remove the lower half of the handle along the crack. Then, he found a mark from the crack, which made him Creepy traces——

Those are human blood stains. They are human blood stains that have soaked into the entire section of the wood.

"This blood can't be the blood of human soldiers, hahahaha..."

The extraordinary sense of smell given to George by his bloodline made George very sure that this was human blood. Gradually, another very bad guess began to emerge in his mind. In order to prove the wrongness of this guess, George held the Dagger of Despair while holding the Dagger of Despair. ——The vampire kiss that belongs to him, while quietly performing the blood control technique, extracting as much blood energy as possible from the wood section, and injecting the extracted blood energy into the blood tank of the despair dagger.

Generally speaking, the blood-reading talent of the vampires requires a large amount of fresh blood to be extracted from living organisms in order to see stable and accurate memories. However, if you just want to peek into some past memory fragments, even if they are extracted from dried blood stains Blood energy, reading blood also has a certain probability of success!

Then……

What George saw...

It's a river!

A river with vine fences and high stone brick walls standing on both sides of the river!

A river dyed red with the blood of elven warriors and human soldiers!

The name of this river is ready to be announced——

River of minced meat!

The border between the Parada Empire and Aranorn, the Minced Meat River!

…

The sight in the memory kept swinging up and down in the bunker made of stone bricks. The previous owner of this short crossbow was trying to glimpse the enemy on the other side from the bunker made of stone bricks.

During a gap when the elf hunter on the opposite side finished its covering arrow strike, the short crossbow slowly emerged from the gap in the stone bricks, preparing to quietly launch a counterattack.

However, the arrows of the elf hunter on the opposite side hit the short crossbow quickly and accurately. The elf arrows with amazing penetrating power penetrated the entire palm of the human crossbowman together with the handle of the short crossbow. Then, a double shot With a crash, the elf arrows fell from the sky at a right angle of nearly ninety degrees, bypassing the bunker and inserting straight into the human crossbowman's forehead, completely incapacitating him to fight!

…

This small-scale encounter ended quickly, much faster than the time it took for the human crossbowman to die!

His vision continued to blur and fade, and the arrows that penetrated his brain caused irreparable serious injuries to the human crossbowman, but they failed to kill him in the first place! The muscle twitching before death made the young elf soldier cleaning the battlefield discover the human crossbowman. Just as he hesitated whether to continue approaching, a beautiful arc passed through the human crossbowman's head!

The scenery in front of him continued to rotate, and finally it was firmly attached to the ground. The second before he died, what the human crossbowman saw was the human army that was rushing towards him in the distance. They were looting from his body. The elven soldiers who were ready to leave after collecting their trophies, and those who were constantly directing the elven soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner——

General Gramming!
