Of course, the name was a tribute to the nostalgic classic movie from Earth in a certain someone's memory. Although it didn't have the same recoil, in terms of power, Lin believed that it was better than the original version. Compared to the power of the original "Little Cricket" in the movie,
Of course, no one present understood the source of a certain someone's bad taste. This was especially true for the dark elf Myrtle. She helplessly swapped the rifle in her hand for the girl's' Little Cricket 'with mixed feelings. She turned to look at the huge and powerful heavy sniper rifle that looked like a metal beast. Then, she turned back to look at the small and exquisite prototype weapon lying on her palm. She asked in disbelief, "I can only use this?"
The black-haired, brown-skinned girl nodded mercilessly. Without the two braids that were full of childishness, she, who had always been expressionless, was more persuasive in the way she expressed her attitude, giving people an unquestionable feeling.
However, Michael was still unwilling to give up and complained, "Why is that a big gun so powerful? You can tell at a glance that it's a weapon only a true warrior is worthy of using. But this one was like a toy for the children of the nobility, small and cute. Do you know that this is like choosing a partner for an adventure? There's a giant with the title 'Dragon Slayer' beside him, but you can only choose a stunted dwarf. Kaya, tell me, do you hate me so much that you ostracize me? If you have any dissatisfaction, please say it directly. I will accept it with an open mind and change. I won't choose revenge. "
Also, Myrtle had a question in her mind. How did that mage make 'Little Cricket' grow into 'Me Without Life'? Was there a connection between the two?
Holding 'Little Cricket', Myrtle had a feeling that she could crush the gun with just a little bit of force. She was just about to continue asking Kaya when she saw the girl dodging and pushing away the dark elf's hand. Even the gray cat on the cabinet was watching their movements vigilantly. Its four limbs were slightly bent, ready to jump away at any moment.
After confirming the direction of Myrtle's gun, Kaya let out a sigh of relief and said, "Sister Myrtle, I don't hate you. I've been like this since the first time we met. Her teacher had said that one shouldn't let any stereotype determine one's attitude towards a person. Instead, one should use the other party's attitude to decide. But no matter who it is, you can't point a gun at anyone in this house, because it will trigger the defense system and people will die. "
"Alright, I understand." Knowing what the taboo was, Malcolm wasn't so stubborn as to try it out. After she moved the muzzle away, she asked, "Kaya, are you sure that this little toy is a weapon of the same grade as that big gun that gives off a majestic and mighty feeling?"
"Teacher said that the weakness of the previous magic guns was that the efficiency of energy conversion was too low, and most of the Authority was wasted. Furthermore, it was purely condensing Authority into a mass of energy and sending it out without any modification. In fact, when passing through the rifling of the gun barrel, these magic energy bullets would undergo different changes and be given different attributes. Although this would increase the lethality of the weapon, from the designer's point of view, this was a failed design. — — "
Kaya picked up the rifle that Myr had handed to her and smoothly pulled the trigger to show the modified part. The magic patterns on the trigger were already complicated enough, but now it was several times more complicated and smaller. It no longer looked like the traditional magic patterns in the land of mystery, but some kind of natural pattern. It was just that those who hadn't participated in the design and modification wouldn't understand it.
"— In order to improve this part, increase the efficiency of Authority, and increase the power, the second generation of magic guns was designed, and the little cricket was an experimental product. The ultimate product that included the two features of increasing the efficiency of Authority and increasing lethality was the anti-materiel rifle 'Fateless.' And the rifle could only be modified to increase the efficiency of the second generation. If he were to do all of them, it would be equivalent to building a new gun. But creating these things cost too much money, and the weakness wasn't improved either. So, Teacher had no plans to continue making them. "
Amidst the pile of descriptions, Myr finally heard the part that interested her. Her eyes lit up as she asked, "Weakness? These guns, including 'Fateless,' also have weaknesses? "
"Yes." After giving a definite answer, Kaya looked up and down at the dark elf's clothes and said, "I heard Teacher say that Sister Myr's clothes were made by His Majesty Fasnaus. It can protect oneself from the corrosion of high-dimensional energy when the Blink spell is in effect. "
The dark elf nodded and said, "That's right. But is this related to the flaw of the magic gun? "
"According to Teacher, it originated from the protective magic of the World Tree to protect the World Tree from the impact of energy tides caused by the difference between the two sides when it comes into contact with other dimensional worlds. It can be said that the complete World Tree's protective magic has reached the extreme in dealing with pure energy damage. And the attack of the magic gun happens to be in the form of pure energy, so it can't break through the World Tree's level of protection. To cause damage, it must be an elemental attack with magical effects, not a projection of pure energy. "
After hearing the reason, Myr couldn't help but sigh. "It's like a natural nemesis."
Although the black-haired girl didn't answer, she still nodded in acknowledgment.
Marchioness Barland, who had been standing behind Kaya, was now curiously stroking the "weapon" in the gun cabinet. She had never seen such a "gun," and didn't know how much the "blue hole-grade" magic stone was worth. She didn't know what the concept of "expensive" was. The marchioness only felt that the content of the conversation was a little exaggerated and interesting.
She picked up the pink "celery," which belonged to the magic gun in Fen's right hand. It was a little heavy for a normal woman. Although it wasn't as big as an anti-materiel rifle, it was still much bigger than a "cricket." The longest part, which was the gun body, was about two-thirds of the length of a forearm.
The marchioness, who didn't know the structure of the various parts of the gun, looked at the black hole in the barrel and couldn't help but put it in front of her eyes, trying to peek inside.
"Meow!" Hardy cried out sharply, reminding everyone to pay attention. Kaya hurriedly snatched the "celery" from the marchioness' hands and said, "You can't put your head on the muzzle of the gun. Even though his teacher had instructed him to remove the energy assembly of all the weapons that were placed in the gun cabinet. But who knows if someone has been careless? What if an accident happens because of this? "
"What kind of weapon is this?" Marchioness Barland asked curiously.
"Want to try it?" Kaya asked with a smile. And it wasn't just her. Even Mabel showed a smile as sweet as the sun. Their smiles made the marchioness, who didn't know much about the world, wonder if she had fallen into some kind of trap.
Kaya quickly took out her PPK and rifle and stuffed them into Mabel's arms. Then she collected a pile of ordinary ammunition and put it into a basket. As for the special ammunition, she didn't touch it during the test phase. She then led Marchioness Barland and Mabel to the shooting range in the basement.
Originally, the underground space was used as a practice room to experiment with various kinds of magic. Therefore, there were special protective enchantments on the walls to prevent the magic attacks inside from spilling out of the practice room and causing damage or loss outside the practice room.
But a group of mages and apprentices who didn't do their jobs really didn't practice many spells that could cause large-scale damage. Over time, this well-protected practice room had other uses. For a period of time, the most common use was to test guns, but the modification plan of the gun was only carried out to a stage before it was stopped. It wasn't until today that the practice room was reopened for business.
Because the magic guns that Lin Zaimi created were not firearms driven by gunpowder in the traditional sense of Earth, there wouldn't be problems such as recoil or explosion. So when testing guns in a semi-enclosed space, there was no need to wear things such as earmuffs.
And the lighting in the basement wasn't a big problem for someone who specialized in the Illumination Spell. Kaya, who was walking at the front, flicked her finger, and the whole basement was illuminated quite brightly, as if it was daytime outside.
As a shooting range, the layout of the basement was actually quite simple. There were only human-shaped targets in the distance and a work platform nearby for people to put things. But there were some obstacles set up according to the mood, and some human-shaped targets were near and some were far. It didn't look like a regular shooting range on Earth, but more like a space used for survival games.
As usual, all the guns and magic stone ammunition to be tested were displayed on the work platform. Kaya did not explain first. Instead, she smoothly loaded the PPK into the old-style Magic Stone magazine. With a few shots, she blasted off half the body of one of the human-shaped targets. Then, she withdrew the old magic stone magazine that had been used up.
It wasn't that she didn't want to use a new design to increase the efficiency of the power and reduce the consumption of magic stones. But the small PPK pistol didn't have much room for improvement and couldn't be modified into the second generation. It was also why Kaya no longer used her beloved gun as a regular weapon.
After a round of shooting, to Marchioness Barland's surprise, Kaya briefly introduced the structure, usage, and precautions of the long and short magic guns. Most importantly, of course, it was to let people experience the feeling of shooting.
The first to go was Myrtle, the dark elf who had been eyeing the rifle for a long time. Although she had seen the anti-materiel sniper rifle with her own eyes and felt that it was a pity to throw it away when she picked it up again, she still seriously fiddled with the weapon.
Combining her impressions of watching Uzov use it in the past, as well as Kaya's introduction just now, Myrtle became more and more proficient in the shooting process. She even began to try not only hitting the target, but also shooting at specific parts.
The magic guns in the Mysterious Land could be locked and guided by mental energy, increasing the shooting speed while also having a considerable hit rate. But according to her experience of hunting with Uzov in the past, this kind of locking would alert the target. If the target was a magical beast, it would be more like a provocation, causing the magical beast to attack directly.
So when using a rifle, as long as the situation permitted, it was more appropriate to use the traditional three-point line aiming method. Because doing so could maintain the shooter's concealment, this was very important when hunting or ambushing the enemy.
For Marchioness Barland, who was holding a gun for the first time, she started with the small PPK pistol to practice. Under Kaya's instructions, her eyes were fixed on the muzzle, the crosshair, and the target. She took a deep breath and stabilized her trembling hands, which were not used to the weight of the gun.
Then, she pulled the trigger!
