The carriage started moving again.
This time, there was a figure on the grassland, quietly watching them go away.
Grace's silver hair was blown by the wind, and she bowed her head to pray: "Merciful God of Glory and Justice, your believers pray to you sincerely, please bless them with smooth sailing!"
Miss Alice and Mr. William are both good people.
Of course, there is also Mr. Caesar.
But why does it seem like Mr. Caesar doesn't like her very much? ...
In the carriage.
"A-choo~"
Louis sneezed loudly.
"Have you caught a cold? Flu is prevalent these days."
Alice in the carriage leaned out and asked.
Louis, who was sitting next to the coachman, waved his hand: "It's just that the wind outside the carriage is a little strong."
Alice scratched her head: "Don't be stubborn, if you really feel cold, come in."
"No, I want to check the surrounding situation again."
Alice smiled and said, "You don't seem to like that kid very much."
Louis knew she was talking about Grace.
I didn't expect this carefree woman to be so observant.
He said: "There is no like or dislike. She has the gift of the God of glory and justice. I am not comfortable being near her."
In fact, it is mainly the guillotine PTSD that continues to take effect.
But the reason he found was easily recognized by Alice. She said:
"The succubus bloodline is also very hard, but I still have to rely on you from now on. After all, you are more suitable than me in terms of reconnaissance."
In the Nine Swords system, the number of level 1 martial arts alone is an astonishing number.
Tiger Claw Style is not the strongest among the bunch, but it has a very special Level 1 Stance Skill—
[Hunting sense].
This ability is considered very rare among all basic professions. It is a skill of "enhancing perception ability" that can be used at the lowest level.
And because this ability relies more on changes in consciousness and thinking, its level is also very low, and the consumption of blood and energy is very small.
——Not even as fast as the succubus’s automatic recovery.
He is better at this kind of thing and can last longer.
Unfortunately, Louis and others did not notice anything unusual until they were about to reach the grassland border.
Louis squinted his eyes tiredly.
After using my hunting sense for too long, my body could handle it, but my spirit couldn't.
Seeing this, Alice threw him two ropes and a piece of leather with holes in it, and laughed, "I knew you would get tired too. Here, use this first."
Louis looked at the scene in confusion, not quite understanding how this thing could be used to attack.
Could it be that he was tying himself up and giving himself to the other party as a gift, and then making the other party laugh to death?
But the next moment, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.
"Is this... a sling?"
Louis looked at Alice inquiringly.
Alice clapped her hands, proving his guess.
"It's easy to make with a rope or a belt."
"In the wild, new fighters don't have much long-range killing power in the early stages."
"The sling is simple and easy to use. It is the most suitable weapon for your current stage. The materials can be found locally."
"This is what Uncle Tiki and the others taught me back then..."
As Alice spoke, her voice gradually faded.
Louis said nothing.
I just understood what she meant.
The dryad's root system covers a wide area, far beyond the attack range of ordinary melee professions.
Even most of the spells mastered by a level 3 wizard cannot directly hit the trunk of the tree monster.
But this doesn't mean that Louis can't attack the tree spirit from a distance.
Because the effective killing range of the slingshot can be from tens of meters to nearly two hundred meters.
Especially in this world where there is a professional system and there are many macho men.
This thing can indeed be considered a small artifact in the early stages.
Put a stone there and hit it accurately to cause explosive damage.
The first time he saw a sling in a picture in his previous life was when he accidentally saw a news report about a country that took the Bible as an imperial decree and was carrying out a modern mass extinction.
In the news, the scene of a Pakistani youth named Amuro holding a flag in one hand and throwing a sling with the other is still vivid in our minds.
But he never expected that, by some unexpected turns of events, he would end up using the same weapon one day.
"The slingshot is usable, but its accuracy is questionable. However, the tree monster is big enough. If we throw it a few times, we can always injure it before it moves...
Fuck! What are you doing? "
Along with the whistling sound of the slingshot breaking through the air, a stone exploded like a cannonball and hit the tree monster in the distance that looked like a land octopus.
One hit! Hit the target! "This thing is powerful!"
Louis's dull laughter came from the armor.
The slingshot is really powerful if used well.
Louis remembered that in his previous life, during the Battle of Gaugamela, the Rhodian slingers, under the cover of shields, had severely suppressed the Persian archers with their slingshots before approaching the Persian army's position.
Even an armored knight would be knocked unconscious if hit by a slinger's lead bullet.
It can be said that this thing is a rocking toy for primary school students and college students, only slightly inferior to the slingshot and the straight stick holy sword.
Then, accompanied by a whistling sound, another stone as big as a baby's fist fell from the sky like a cannonball.
With a loud bang, the tree demon a hundred meters away was hit and staggered, and the bark and trunk were smashed into pieces.
"Alice, this thing is much more useful than a sword."
Alice's mouth widened slightly.
He turned his head and looked at William, who had a blank expression on his face: "Has he always been this crazy?"
William twisted his mouth and said, somewhat unable to hold back, "Your Highness learned the basic martial arts of the Nine Swords. He learned two schools in one day and went from entry level to mastery in two days."
"How long will it take?"
This time it was Alice's turn to twist her mouth and her voice changed.
"one day."
Alice jumped up as if the grass beneath her feet was on fire: "Duojiu?!"
"One day! Just one day!"
At this time, the leader of our Moonlit Cat Group had a buzzing head.
One day? Just one day?!
In a trance, she seemed to remember the description of this boy when she asked Louis about his talent.
…
She said, "How talented can you be?"
He replied: "Instructor Jino said that my talent is just a little bit weaker than his."
She laughed: "That's really... great!"
…
"Fuck you! Kino, you big fool just blew 13!"
A little bit?
This may require reversing the priorities and stuffing a fingertip universe between Louis' abstract index finger and thumb!
Why is Alice so annoyed?
Louis only knew the advantages of the sling, but he didn't know that the sling had a fatal flaw.
Yes!
Although the sling is the simplest long-range weapon, its training time is unusually long.
In the past, the Balearic slingers had to be trained from a young age. After a week of practice, they could only throw a stone about ten meters away. It was even more difficult to throw accurately.
In the 17th century, the price of the slingers they trained was no less than that of the archers, and the training period was extremely long.
This thing is a weapon that is extremely easy to use, but extremely difficult to hit accurately.
But now...
When Louis swung the whistling slingshot and threw out the death throw for the sixth time.
Fast! Accurate! Fierce! Like a rainbow piercing the sun!
The tree demon, which was originally crawling towards the few people in anger, wailed. The gap on the trunk was too big to support its body.
It had only climbed halfway when it broke into two pieces.
Fall to the ground with a loud bang!
Alice, I'm numb!
I just want you to use the sling to wear down the dryad's health bar so that you can engage in close combat.
You!
You killed me in seconds?
It's open, right?!
