After leaving the Amor Fortress, the carriage turned westward toward Xueman City. This road would run parallel to the White River for a long distance, and the two sides did not pass each other until they reached the "White River Viewing Rock".
"If we go at our current speed, we will probably be able to return to Xueman after nightfall." At the campsite by the river, Arthur was observing the map in his hand.
"There is no way, the only one who is intact now is Ella herself," Farkas replied while chewing on a roasted leg of lamb: "That horse is useless, 'Queen Elfsica' is already very tired from pulling the six of us by herself."
.”
"Well..." Arthur responded casually, then turned to look at a large pot of beef stewed on the campfire and a large bag full of food beside the campfire.
These bread, cheese and vegetables were purchased from a passing mill earlier, and directly included all the food that the miller originally planned to hire people to transport to the city for sale. The other party was very happy that it was slightly cheaper.
However, rather than discounts, the members of the comrades-in-arms group hope that he will have more goods. After all, due to the fierce battle and injury while in the transformed state, his appetite has become very big. Before, he only ate
Half full, Arthur took out a piece of beef from the pot and ate it in several bites: "Well, it's eighty-done."
"If Ella hadn't forbidden us to 'eat like beasts,' this thing would have been edible when it was half-ripened." Cisco, who was chewing bread, moved his nose closer to the cooking pot with his nose twitching.
"Haha, my transformation is different from yours, so I haven't tried what it feels like to be so hungry that I want to swallow a cow," Ella was chewing an apple while looking through the previous posts of the guard captain of Amor Fortress.
The gifted magic book, "But since you are in human form now, you must eat like humans."
"Well, Ella, how do you learn magic? Can ordinary people understand the book?" Arthur ate a few more pieces of beef and stopped participating in the almost fighting. He walked to Ella and sat down, pointing.
Pointing to the book in her hand.
"Hmm... I remember you said that you are a hunter like me, so you can at least understand half of it." Ella turned the opened page towards Arthur: "Look, isn't it beautiful?"
A very exquisite bow is drawn on the unfolded book page, with lines and decorations that are obviously elf-style. Next to it is a detailed description of its size and performance in professional terms that only archers can understand. If these descriptions
Without exaggeration, this bow can be said to be the best that Arthur has ever seen.
"Is this a production drawing?" Arthur asked.
"The drawings... you can say that, but only if we understand the previous parts." Ella turned forward a few pages, showing another set of patterns, or in other words, images of the same thing from different angles.
It looks like two gears, one large and one small, that are tightly meshed together. The larger one is about four times larger than the smaller one. Next to the patterns at different angles, there are also detailed descriptions of the pair of gears, although there are some
The unfamiliar terms were unfamiliar, but Arthur could still tell that together they were only as big as an average person's fist.
"This is a 'spell model'," Ella explained before Arthur could ask. "Use your own magic power to outline the image of the pair of gears and release them, and the bow will be summoned in your hand."
"From where?" Arthur frowned. According to the information within the comrades-in-arms group, a very large proportion of those evil mages specialize in summoning.
"From the world itself," Ella rolled her eyes at him: "The spells to summon weapons are completely different from those to summon the undead and alien creatures, but they are very similar to those simple and crude destruction magics. You only need to build a spell model.
Achieve results."
"Hmm." Arthur carefully observed the pair of gears and felt that the method of using this magic seemed very familiar. It was just that the model was engraved on the world base and used when needed... The world base was again
What?
Buzz - In the night sky in Arthur's mind, the symbol of the Gate of Summoning was formed. The constellation representing "Summoning" directly lit up two stars, and the "Bow and Arrow" constellation that originally lit up two stars was not to be outdone.
A new light shines on the ground.
"I think I should try to build this model - Arthur?" Ella was about to show Arthur other pages when she turned around and saw that he had built a pair of delicate and constantly rotating gears in the palm of his hand.
, and then smashed it into pieces, the purple light that overflowed when the gear was broken stretched upward and downward with Arthur's fist as the center, and finally formed an exquisite longbow that was exactly the same as described in the book, exuding lavender light.
Arthur tried to pull the bow, and an equally delicate arrow appeared directly on the bowstring. When he let go, the arrow disappeared.
"Hmm... I didn't expect to succeed in just one try." Arthur shrugged at the somewhat dull Ella and the members of the comradeship who looked over.
"This is normal. He is a dragon after all." Wells touched Ella with the shield he carried behind his back.
"This spell - it's not difficult at all!" Ella turned back and glared at Wells, and directly gathered the gears in her hand, and then turned into a bow in the next moment, but she gasped slightly and the words appeared on her forehead.
Even a trickle of sweat proves that this is by no means simple.
"Not bad, not bad, I will save money on buying bows and arrows in the future." Farkas, who had no idea how important this matter was, nodded while eating beef.
"Anyway, this can be considered an improvement in our combat power," Cisco wiped his hands, picked up a steel shield from the side and raised it: "Come on, let me try the power of this 'summoning bow'."
"No, we don't know what's special about its attack. If the shield can't block it, we'll be in trouble." Arthur shook his head and looked at Ella.
"Well... let's just choose those rocks as the target. We can also test the shooting range." Ella, who had returned to normal, looked around and then raised her hand to point to the rocks on the other side of the White River.
"I choose the second from the left." "Then I choose the first from the right." Ella and Arthur drew their bows and nocked arrows together, oh, no need to nock the arrows.
Tsk! Tsk! The two arrows with lavender trails flew straight towards their targets, and did not disappear after leaving the bow like before.
Ding! Puff! Ella's arrow accurately hit the second stone on the left on the river beach, and then was bounced into the air and disappeared. However, Arthur's arrow made a strange sound, and half of the arrow did not enter the stone, and
Didn't disappear.
"Gah!" Everyone was wondering when the "stone" suddenly jumped up and rushed toward the river with the arrows on its body. However, midway, it was rushed far downstream by the fast white river.
"Oh, I like the 'mire crab' disguised as a stone." Wilkas shook his head and looked at Cisco Moon: "If you can easily penetrate the carapace of that thing, your shield really can't."
"Very good. If we encounter any enemies with thick armor in the future, I'll leave it to you and Ella." Cisco Moon dropped his shield, walked over and patted Arthur hard on the shoulder.
Poof, the bow and arrow in Ella's hand seemed to disappear directly due to exhaustion of power. Arthur looked at the summoning bow that still showed no sign of disappearing and secretly dismissed it: "Of course there is no problem, but its duration is a bit short.
"
"If we can't defeat the opponent within the duration of this bow, we'd better retreat." Cisco yelled.
If he really met the vampire king from that night again, he would really have to run away. Although he had obtained the method to control himself from Graybeard, the injuries he had suffered in the previous battle were not minor.
——14:00——
On the next journey, Ella has been practicing the spell of summoning the bow, and shooting at certain targets on the roadside from time to time. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she shot several mire crabs to death.
Arthur was thinking about summoning other types of weapons from time to time, but unfortunately, no matter how familiar he was with the performance and size of the Sky Forge two-handed sword in his hand, he could not summon a copy of it by summoning a bow.
This proves that summoning different things requires different spell models. It seems that after going back, I should consider buying some magic books from the court mage Farenja.
"No! The robbers in Waltham Towers have gone crazy!" A box-type carriage with four carriages hurriedly fled back from the front. The carriage seemed to be a rich man's vehicle. It had tried to overtake the carriage of the comrades before.
It was showing off its wealth but no one paid any attention to it. At this time, the arrow stuck in its back looked extremely ridiculous.
"Those toll collectors? Have they finally decided to officially change their profession to bandits?" Farkas asked doubtfully, but did not stop the carriage.
The Waltham Tower is a twin structure tower across the White River. One of the towers and the nearby mountain wall are tightly sandwiched between the main road. Once they find a lone passerby who doesn't look strong enough, they will send someone to block the road and charge a fee.
It ranges from 50 to 200. Those who are not strong enough usually have to pay obediently. But if these robbers take a wrong look and the passerby is very good at fighting, the blocker will immediately escape into the tower and escape from the other side through the cross-river channel.
.
Since they pose little harm and are located at the junction of Snowrun and Rift Valley territories, neither side is willing to take the trouble to eliminate this group of bandits who are very capable of running away, so their tolls have been collected - until now.
.
"I think I know the escape route of the fish that escaped the Cuiwa Watchtower. He really plans to go to Xueman." Si Keyue looked at the roadblocks piled up on the only way there, holding various weapons, and the vampire in his eyes
The robber with the unique dark yellow light frowned.
"Although they didn't plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, there are no strong warriors in Yuevaska at this moment. That guy must have noticed this." Wilkas pulled out his two-handed sword and stood up on the carriage, dialing the flying number.
of arrows.
"We don't have time to waste time with them here!" Ella summoned the bow with a much more skilled technique, "Arthur——"
"Understood!" Arthur quickly drew his bow. Since there was no need to nock an arrow, he and Ella, even though they were just two people, shot a hail of arrows at the vampire bandits.
"Farkas! Don't feel bad for your horse!" Cisco Moon and Wells held up their shields to resist the attacks from both sides, protecting the carriage from passing through the destroyed roadblock: "We must use our best strength.
Hurry back to Xueman as quickly as possible!"
"That's not my horse yet!" Farkas roared as if to convince himself, and swung his whip hard at the two horses in front.
