"How brave! Do you still dare to attack me?" the little boy shouted. Although his tone was still very childish, his voice was unusually loud, and his tone conveyed the dignity of a superior.
This sentence almost made Shen Fei angry: You, a little brat, suddenly singled us out and startled us, and you even aimed at us with real eyes, and in the end you asked me to put down my weapon?
Just when Shen Fei was about to scold him, an old man who looked to be in his nineties ran over from a distance and shouted in a hoarse voice over and over again: "Be merciful! The prince is young and ignorant. Please be merciful!" The word "running" is used here because this old man ran really fast, no less fast than a strong man running at full strength, and although his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, it was The volume was also ridiculously loud.
When Shen Fei heard the word "prince", his heart moved, and he slowly put down the crossbow in his hand. This was not because he relaxed his vigilance, but because during the previous confrontation with the little boy, he observed that the other party's movements were still It was very immature, the index finger was not on the trigger, and the arrow was slightly off when loaded. Therefore, even if the opponent wants to strike first, he can be sure that the arrow will not hit him at all.
Seeing Shen Fei put down the giant crossbow in his hand (in his eyes, a crossbow that was more than twice as big as his own was indeed a giant crossbow.), although the "Prince" was still flushed and filled with righteous indignation, he still held his hand He put down the crossbow and shook his arm at the same time. It was obvious that he had been holding the crossbow for so long and his arms were tired.
Seeing his naive actions, several girls including Sakura couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing! Be careful, I will capture you and enrich my harem!" the boy said shyly and angrily.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the old man who looked to be in his 90s also arrived. He walked over and used half of his body to hide in front of the boy. This would not block his view, but he could also rush over and block him in front when he encountered danger. Obviously, he encountered this situation often.
The old man said with an apologetic face: "This is His Royal Highness the Prince of our country. He is still young. If I have offended several distinguished guests, I will apologize for him." After saying this, he bowed.
"His Royal Highness" on the side seemed to be in awe of the old man. Although he wanted to defend himself, he did not speak.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Although the wrinkles on the other person's face made it impossible for Shen Fei to smile at all, his tone was still relatively sincere, so he put away the crossbow, waved his hand and said: "Since it is a misunderstanding, forget it. But how do you know that we are guests from outside? Also, is your country called Mossat?"
The old man straightened his messy clothes and hair while running, and said: "To be honest, I have lived in Lower Bastu for more than 40 years, and I have never seen anyone with such an appearance in my country or neighboring countries. If there are really , I have heard about it for a long time, so I conclude that these are guests from far away. As for the second question, you are right, the name of our country is Mossat."
His words instantly stunned Shen Fei and others: More than 40 years old? Your grandson is almost 40, right?
"You just saidyou livedmore than 40 years old?" Sakura on the side couldn't help but ask.
Bostu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled with wrinkles on his face: "Haha, these distinguished guests don't know something. Due to the long-term drought and lack of rain in this country, and the raging wind and sand, almost all men in this country have a face like mine."
After listening to his explanation, Sakura and the others nodded with half-knowledge. The long-term drought makes the air dry, making people's skin lack moisture. The lack of rain and water makes it impossible for them to replenish it from the inside. Over time, the skin will dry out and lack moisture. The luster makes the face look older, so it is not surprising that this 40-year-old middle-aged man looks like a 90-year-old man. And if you observe carefully, you will find that the little boy's skin is also very poor. Although he has a Western face, his skin is waxy-yellow, with a hint of pink only appearing when he is angry. Moreover, his skin looks dull. I am afraid that when he becomes an adult, he will also have wrinkles on his face.
"Are the women in your country like this too?" Shen Fei asked.
"It's not so serious for women, because they usually stay at home and rarely go out. Even if they go out, they will be tightly wrapped in veils." He said and glanced at a few others besides Sakura and Kog'Maw. Girl: "Of course, due to water shortages, these women who do not engage in strenuous physical labor or join the army can only get a small sip of drinking water every day. Therefore, their skin is still very poor. Compared with these women, it is simply It¡¯s one heaven and one earth.¡±
During the conversation, Shen Fei secretly checked the attributes of the old and the young. The little prince's name was Arthur, and his basic attributes were?Not bad but the level is very low. With Shen Fei's current attack power, it only takes 3 or 4 arrows to kill him. According to the rate of fire of the repeating mechanical crossbow, it can be done in 2 seconds. Bostu, who seemed to be 90 years old, had quite good attributes. If he and Shen Fei were to fight one-on-one, even if Shen Fei used all his skills, the outcome would only be a 50-50 win. But even if there was a fight, Shen Fei would not be stupid enough to challenge him in a duel, because his skills and attacks were all long-range, and his basic attributes were not suitable for melee combat.
Fortunately, the other party's attitude towards Shen Fei and others has been quite friendly so far, and he has almost told everything about Shen Fei's problems, so there won't be a real fight for the time being.
In the end, Bostu invited Shen Fei and his party to visit Mossat after symbolically asking for Prince Arthur's consent.
This decision suited Shen Fei, so he pretended to decline for a while and then hit the road.
Shen Fei didn't have any more conversations with Bostu along the way. He always felt that there was some conspiracy hidden under the other person's old face. On the surface, he looked very polite, even a little bit flattering, but Shen Fei hurriedly Very uncomfortable. So he winked at Sakura and left the task of gathering intelligence to her, while he kept talking to the little prince.
"Boy, are you still angry with me?" Shen Fei asked expressionlessly.
Arthur was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, my father said that if someone stronger than yourself does not hurt or insult you, then you should maintain enough respect for him."
Shen Fei tasted this sentence carefully, and it seemed to make sense, but he didn't understand why the king of a country would instill this concept in his son.
"Is your crossbow given to you by your father?" Shen Fei asked.
Arthur: "Yes, he also taught me how to use a crossbow, but unfortunately I only learned the basics and he couldn't teach me anymore."
Shen Fei frowned slightly because he heard Arthur say "no more teaching" instead of "no more teaching". Although there was only one word difference, the former said that the king of Mossat was because of some objective factors. He didn't want to teach him, Shen Fei thought to himself: Could it be that this king is sick?
Seeing that Shen Fei didn't answer, Arthur hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you teach me how to use a crossbow?"
Looking at the longing look in Arthur's eyes when he stared at him, Shen Fei didn't say yes or no, but directly took the crossbow off Arthur's back. It looked like a very well-made steel crossbow. Shen Fei used his hands to cushion it twice and found that the crossbow body was not very heavy. It was obvious that the main material was some kind of alloy, not all steel. The material of the crossbow string should be the sinew of some kind of animal, but it is not the same as the common animal sinew, but its toughness and elasticity are good.
After Shen Fei checked the material and workmanship of the crossbow, he calibrated the ballistics and string, then took out a crossbow arrow from the quiver behind Arthur, and then shot an arrow at a stone not far away.
"Bang!" When the arrow penetrated the stone, the whole stone shattered.
Arthur stared blankly at this scene, unable to imagine that his crossbow could be so lethal.
At this time, Shen Fei shook his head with some regret and sighed: "Hey, it's a pity that this crossbow is not a metal string, otherwise the range and power would be greater, but as a beginner, it's not bad." After that, Handed the crossbow back to Arthur.
"I helped you calibrate this crossbow. Although there is still a slight deviation, it can barely be used. The scene you just saw does not mean how powerful this crossbow is. On the one hand, it is because the stone is only 10 meters away from me. meters away, on the other hand, this "stone" is just a piece of loess mixed with yellow sand and clay. If it were replaced by granite with a much higher hardness, it might not be so easy to shoot through."
Hearing Shen Fei's explanation, Arthur nodded in understanding, and then said: "Then why doesn't it have this effect when I shoot? And it's not accurate at all."
"Your posture when using the crossbow is wrong." After saying that, Shen Fei took out his crossbow, then held it in front of him solemnly, and made a shooting posture: "If you curl up like me and tighten the muscles of your upper limbs, The entire upper body should remain motionless, with the line of sight, the top of the trigger, and the crosshairs."
For a mouse, curling up can actually be achieved without deliberately doing it, because his body cannot straighten up But it is a bit difficult for an 8-year-old fat man. He is serious. He imitated Shen Fei's movements, but no matter how he looked, it looked like a big cicada chrysalis squirming, and his body could never stay still.
Several girls who had been paying a vague attention to the "master and apprentice" couldn't help laughing, but Shen Fei not only did not laugh, but secretly praised in his heart: "A person who is unmoved by the ridicule around him for the sake of success is far from successful." Not too muchFar away. "
Shen Fei patted Arthur on the shoulder: "Practice again when you have time. We are far behind."
Arthur put the crossbow on his back again and followed him without saying a word, but at this time, his eyes towards Shen Fei had changed.
