The first time I saw the alloy bow, I was drawn to its soft, smooth shape, a short metal bow with a very wide and thick back, and the more you looked at the edges, the narrower and more slender the bow arms became, and the arc was exaggerated.I think it's forged from refined black iron mixed with other metals, it's like a crescent, and the whole bow is polished into fine sand lines that make the whole bow look extra black, and it doesn't reflect light, and it's important to have no reflective points on the whole bow for assassins lurking in the dark.The bow of this alloy bow has a simple magic pattern engraved on it, I have never seen such a strange magic pattern structure in the parchment scroll of old Kuru, Kuz is stunned, this alloy bow is maintained as if it is new, and it is a magic weapon with a magic pattern circle.Kuzi took it from Old Man Su's hand and held it carefully in his hand, when Kuzi held it on the alloy bow, I clearly saw that the strange magic pattern circle emitted a faint green light, and it disappeared in an instant, and there was a "click" sound, which was very crisp.But I was surprised to find that the people around me, including Kige, didn't seem to notice any anomalies, and seemed to be waiting for Kuz to test the arrow.Kuz seemed to notice, looked at his left hand suspiciously, and then looked up at me again.I winked at him vaguely, and we still had this little tacit understanding.His eyes were filled with smiles all of a sudden, and he knew that there was nothing wrong with the wonderful state he had just felt, it was not an illusion.Old Man Su didn't rush to hand Kuzi the feather arrow, but introduced us: "This bow is actually a magic weapon, but it is a little special, I have never found it different from other alloy bows, although it has a magic pattern circle engraved on the back of the bow. ”Old man Su may have seen the clues of the previous two bows, so after taking out this bow, he told the truth about the defects of this alloy bow, so as not to make us think that he was not honest.I'm a little strange, just now it's clear that the magic pattern circle of this bow was activated by Kuzi, why can't Old Man Su see it."
So the price of this alloy bow, I will calculate it for you according to the price of an ordinary alloy bow."
Old man Su sighed softly, and I could see that he was really reluctant.He pulled out a feathered arrow from his quiver and handed it to Kuz, then turned to stand aside, Kuz's shooting posture was very standard, and the accuracy was enough to hit the bull's-eye with ease.Sure enough, he could easily pull this alloy bow, and the strength and range of the bow were even better than the ironwood bow, and I don't think the Kuzla ironwood bow would be so easy.Seeing Kuz's very fond expression, I quietly said to Katarina, "Katarina, you can give it a try too!"
”Caterina took the alloy bow from Kuz's hand, looked at me blankly with beautiful red eyes, and although she didn't understand what I wanted to do, she still picked up a feather arrow as I said, and then said with some embarrassment: "I haven't used a bow before, I don't know if I can pull it away." ”In fact, there is no need to pull it apart, when this alloy bow is transferred to Katarina's hand, the magic pattern circle on the alloy bow has no reaction, as if Caterina is holding an ordinary alloy bow in her hand, I took it with some curiosity, and the moment I held it in my hand, I felt a strong magic element gushing out of the magic pattern circle on the back of the bow, emitting a dazzling green light, which startled me.But the others still looked at me as if they were oblivious, not even the dazzling light that the Alloy Bow had just emitted, not even the Kuz.I was a little puzzled by my nervous dodging after taking the bow.At this time, Kig looked at me a little suspiciously, and of course I couldn't explain to her what I had met here.Holding the alloy bow in my hand, I found that it was not as heavy as I imagined, it was very light, and the alloy bow itself had a force supporting me, and I felt more powerful than usual.It occurred to me that this was supposed to be a magical power, or to be precise, it should be the power triggered into the magic pattern.I didn't test it because I didn't think I could pull it away.I looked up and asked Old Man Su, "How much does this bow cost?"
”Old man Su didn't expect that the person who could decide to buy the bow in the end was actually me, he thought it would be Kuzi or the red-haired beauty next to him, and after a trace of surprise appeared on his face, he immediately calmed down and thought for a while and said: "Although no one except my father thinks that the magic pattern on this bow is real, but it can't be denied that this is an extremely excellent alloy bow, I guess that maybe these magic patterns may be damaged, and if you find a skilled inscription master, you may be able to repair it."
My father once told me that the ability of this circle is speed activation, which increases the speed of archery.At least the metal plate on this bow is copper, so I'm pricing it at three gold coins. ”If it is for a magic weapon, three gold coins are obviously not expensive, but for Old Man Su, this bow is more like an ordinary weapon inlaid with rare magic metal plates, so it is a bit inflated simply based on the value of magic materials and ordinary bows and arrows themselves.In fact, I actually wanted to say yes right away and buy it.Kuzi was a little hesitant, after all, if this bow could only be bought back with three golds, then it would be worth twenty times more expensive than an ordinary Neti bow.The little orc, perhaps he had never spent so much money, and he looked at me a little hesitantly.I hesitated again and again, but I didn't make up my mind to bargain, but after thinking for a long time, I said to Old Man Su: "Plus three bowstrings made of thunder rhinoceros tendons and a pot of finely forged cone-headed feather arrows." ”Old man Su's eyes flickered, and it seemed that this also made him very distressed, but he still said, "Okay." ”When he said this, I felt that the old man was piled up in an instant, and that kind of spirit was completely dispersed in his body, and he asked the orc girl Sukamio to go downstairs to fetch the bowstring and quiver, while he sat on the chair in a daze, rubbing the three golden coins in his palm, and there was an indescribable desolation.Kuzi stood beside me and wrapped the alloy bow in oilcloth, but refused to ask for the bulky wooden box anymore, but carried it behind him very lovingly, hugged me and said with some excitement: "Jia, alloy bow, I actually have an alloy bow!"
”I asked Old Man Su: "Do you have the fangs of the wind wolf, and we still want to make two wind wolf tooth arrows." ”Old man Su glanced behind Kuzi, and finally sighed and shook his head and said: "In winter, the sheep in the wasteland have to hide in the valleys of the mountains at the northern foot of the plateau for the winter, and only in spring will they go to the wasteland to graze, and those demon wolves will also follow the demon antelope to migrate to the mountains, and the teeth of the wind demon wolf are so easy to get, I see that you are extraordinary, say something that should not be said, remember not to expose money and weapons after going out, the current wasteland eats people is not just a monster!"
”Kuz and I looked at each other very tacitly.I thought of one more thing, so I asked Old Man Su if he had a crossbow, and Old Man Su said with a wry smile: "That thing is more expensive, I can't even make up an alloy bow here, where is that thing, but you can go to the auction house to try your luck, we also hold some small auctions in private every month, and every time some rare treasures and rare materials appear, if you are lucky, you may be able to meet them." ”When I walked out of the bow shop, it was already getting late.We were not in the mood to go to the free market again, so we picked the little alleys with few people and hurried through the town, and when we passed the well on the west side of the town, the orc women who were washing clothes by the well at noon were gone, but at the well gathered some half-grown children who drew water, and they cooperated with each other to carry the water up from the well, because the well was too deep and the bucket was too big for one person to carry the whole bucket of water in one go, so usually there would be two children standing by the well, pulling ropes alternately with each other, Other children were playing with stones by the well and watched with curiosity as we walked by.I squinted at the western sunset, and saw an old man sitting on a stone at the gate of the camp, and a southwest wind blew, raising a cloud of dust, and the figure of the old man loomed in the dust.In the afterglow of the setting sun, in the flying yellow sand, his figure looks extraordinarily thin.The southeast trade winds in spring brought a large amount of water vapor in the endless sea, and the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky and the dust on the dry surface of the wasteland at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau were mixed together by the strong winds, making the whole sky a chaos, except for the earth under your feet, the rest of the place was dusk, and the sun hanging in the west was like an egg yolk, and when the wind blew on your face, you would clearly feel the fine sand and gravel on your face numb and itchy.The dust was blown into the neck and cuffs by the wind, mixing with the sweat on the body, forming layers of dirt.Zig and Caterina were obviously afraid to see Old Kuru, and separated from us outside the camp to join the caravan alone.Kuz and I walked straight to Old Kuru.That's why I've been staying in the caravan, there is the person I know best, who brings me warmth and security, he is an old orc, and people like him old Kuru.Old Kuru saw me and Kuz return safely, and his dry and muddy face finally appeared a vivid color, and it was not until we approached that he got up from the stone and walked back with his hands behind his back, and the two of us hurriedly followed, the wind and sand were so great that it was almost impossible to speak.The caravan took refuge in tents, except for the night watchman, who was on guard, wrapped himself in a mummy, and then draped himself in a thick blanket and crouched in several watchtowers in the camp.Walking into Old Kuru's tent, Old Kuru sat next to the steaming clay stove, covered in dust, and seemed to fall a handful of dust from his body if he moved."
I've heard from the people in the camp that you two have had a conflict with the noble children of the Starry Adventure Troupe, and that the youngest child stabbed one of them and ran away in the chaos.I'm worried that those people will ambush you outside the camp, so I'm waiting for you there, it doesn't seem like they have any intention of making a big deal out of it, this is orc territory after all.Before entering the wasteland, though, the Grudge Adventure Party wasn't a good thing. ”Old Kuruga opened the leather shawl that was draped over his body, shook off the sand from his body, looked up at me with wise eyes.Kutz bravely stood up and stubbornly said, "It's not us who caused it. ”I took a step forward and looked up at the old Kulu who was getting older and older in front of me, and I noticed that the closer he was to home, the faster he aged, and the wrinkles on his forehead were deeper than the ravines of the Loess Plateau.I lowered my head and sighed and said, "I stabbed the boy who provoked me with a dagger, and there are some troubles that I can't avoid even if I want to, and I will deal with them." ”Old Kuru slowly lowered his eyelids and said, "I heard Leipas say that tomorrow the Starry Adventure Group plans to leave the caravan and enter the Northern Foothills Wasteland alone, but because some members are injured, the plan will be postponed by one day.I don't think they will be honest in the wasteland, those children are spoiled, as long as they plant the seed of hatred in their hearts, that seed will continue to take root in their hearts, and they will do whatever it takes.I just want to remind you two that if you meet them in the wasteland, it is not a shame to run away, and if I were you today, Jia, I would have stabbed the dagger into it when I let him go at the end. ”I thought that old Kuru would scold me for fighting, when I was young, I would always be punished by my parents for fighting, saying that I was disobedient and causing trouble all day long, which made the family restless, and my father needed to go around to apologize for me, and always taught me how to get along with other children, to be polite and humble to the small, and to respect the big.But at that time, I didn't understand a little, I was bullied by older children all day long, and I had to let ignorant children wronged me, so what was the point of me doing this?
Is it just that being scolded by the neighbors is my greatest achievement?
When I grew up, I once read a story about wolf totem, which talked about sheep and wolf nature, and I was thinking that I was afraid that I was a sheep who only knew how to eat grass and milk and produce wool!
So who is the wolf?
And when I arrived here, I suddenly found that my outlook on life had been completely turned upside down, and old Kuru actually thought that my heart was not ruthless enough, and I had left myself with trouble, which might cause trouble for the trip to the wasteland in a few days.Why can't you be like a wolf, if you target things, you have to bite them to death?
I stared at old Kuru with wide eyes, and felt that he had a certain point in what he had said to me.After a while, old Kuru asked me, "How do you feel about the orc tribe after you went to the free market in Yemen today?"
”"I didn't know how to answer for a while.
