When the magic bullets of pure energy hit the thick wooden humanoid target, they would produce loud popping sounds and a low, muffled sound. The crisp popping sound was the sound of the bullet hitting the target. The muffled thuds were the sound of the energy bullet hitting the wall behind the target and canceling out the protective barrier.
If the bullet missed and didn't hit the target, only the muffled thuds would be left. So, it was easy to determine whether the bullet hit the target or not. However, there was no score here.
Since the bullet hit an inorganic object, she didn't feel guilty for taking a life. Instead, she felt refreshed. And this pleasure urged Marchioness Barland to shoot again and again. She seemed to want to learn from Kaya and blow up the upper half of a human-shaped target.
Unfortunately, her aim wasn't good enough. She shot here and there, and missed at least six or seven of her ten shots. So, after she used up a magazine, she didn't get any results.
Unwilling to give up, she clumsily replaced a new magic stone magazine and continued shooting as if she were venting her emotions. Because they noticed this, Kaya and Malcolm didn't stop the marchioness. Instead, they watched from the side. They noticed that she wouldn't point the gun at herself and pull the trigger boldly, leaving a mess for them to clean up.
After Marchioness Barland emptied all the magazines of the PPK, she had to stop even though she hadn't completely vented her emotions. She gasped for air. Even though she was wearing a loose black robe, one could still see the rise and fall of her chest.
Caught off guard, she hugged her head and screamed hysterically as if there was no one else around. Her heart-wrenching screams seemed to be hiding some uneasiness in her chest and trying to drive it out.
In the end, the marchioness, who had roared until her voice was about to break, stood up as if nothing had happened. She still didn't intend to tell anyone about her uneasiness. She simply rubbed the PPK pistol in her hand.
The girl and the dark elf who were watching from the side all knew that there was a story behind the roar. However, they had a tacit understanding and did not ask about it. They just stood there silently. Until Marchioness Barland turned her head and asked, "Can I try 'No Life Without Me' or 'Little Cricket'?"
Kaya shook her head decisively and said, "Those two guns can't be tested here, unless the house above is going to be rebuilt. When we tested the guns before, we ran far away. After confirming that there were no people or other large creatures around, we fired. As for those small animals that were good at hiding and weren't chased away, we can only say that it was very helpless. "
"Is that so, what a pity." Marchioness Barland asked again, "Does this pistol still have a magazine?"
Kaya shook her head as well and said, "This gun is an outdated weapon. Since it's no longer in use, of course, it's, is. This was because the efficiency of the old gun's power wasn't good, and it was a waste of magic stones. The magazine you used just now was left over from the past. ...... I took it out just to let you experience the feeling of shooting. "
"Then can you ask your teacher, Mr. Tripwood, to help me make a new pistol like this?" the marchioness asked casually.
The black-haired, brown-skinned girl hesitated for a moment. After all, in her impression, her teacher was very careful about the flow of magic guns. Apart from a few people around him who could use them, he had never handed them over to people he wasn't familiar with, let alone sold them.
Even when the four silver-bearded dwarves opened their mouths, their teacher rejected them. That was to say, what the four dwarves wanted was an M134 multi-barreled machine gun, a proper weapon of mass destruction. No wonder her teacher didn't dare agree so easily.
The weapons that that person would sell would definitely be those that were outdated by several generations. Only then would it be possible for him to sell them. Even so, most of the obsolete items were still destined to be recycled. It was hard to imagine how stingy a certain someone, who was always talking about recycling resources, could be in this regard.
But Kaya couldn't say for sure what her teacher's attitude would be in front of this marchioness. So she said with reservation, "I'll try to mention Al's request to my teacher. But don't get your hopes up, because I can't say for sure what my teacher's thoughts will be. "
At this moment, Malcolm interrupted and asked, "But what I want to know more is, Kaya, what is the thing your teacher gave you for self-defense?" As far as the dark elf knew, that Mage wouldn't be stingy with giving good things to the people around him to protect himself. If this PPK pistol that could be easily hidden everywhere on his body was despised, then there must be something better on him.
After thinking for a moment, Kaya didn't hide it, but took out the brocade pouch she carried with her. This brocade pouch was made from the leftover scraps of their Han costumes. The seal was tightened by two ropes, so it was very easy to untie and open with a pull.
She carefully took out a metal rose bud from the brocade pouch. This metal rose was neither carved nor cast. It was made up of countless small components. But when Kaya took it out, it didn't make any noise because there were too many parts.
At first glance, it looked like a whole entity. Apart from the fact that the color was different, it looked like a fresh, budding rose. Kaya twirled the flower bud between her index finger and thumb, saying, "The Rose of Labian. This is the newest weapon Teacher gave us for self-defense."
Malcolm and Marchioness Barran were mesmerized by this metal rose that was no different from a work of art. Soon, the dark elf sensed that something was wrong. How could she be so easily attracted by the beauty of something? But that faint sense of intimacy showed that this metal rose was an unimaginably powerful magic tool, which was why she was so attracted.
"Can I see it?" Malcolm asked.
Kaya still shook her head, saying, "The Rose of Labian is a one-time use magic tool, and Teacher said it was very dangerous, although I've never seen it before."
Malcolm said bewitchingly, "Since you've never seen it before, don't you want to see it for yourself? If it's a one-time use tool, and one that can be used now, according to your teacher's way of doing things, he'll make many backups. "
This time, Kaya shook her head resolutely and said, "According to the teacher's personality, when he talks about some exaggerated matters in a flat tone and magnifies the matter tenfold, only then will it be close to the truth of the matter. When Teacher emphasizes something with all his might, it's very likely that he's digging a hole behind it, waiting for people to jump in so that he can laugh at them from the sidelines. And for those plain words, he's hoping that people won't listen and suffer, so that he can enjoy the show more. And what he said about the Rose of Labian is exactly the plain kind. "
When the black-haired girl said this, everyone was curious about what the Magician said and couldn't help but ask. Kaya then said, "At the time, Teacher said that this tool is called the Rose of Labian. It's a small-scale environmental extinction weapon, and each flower can only be used once. After using it, there will be no life left except for yourself, so please use it carefully. He actually used the word 'please' in front of us. It's scary no matter how I think about it. "
"A small-scale environmental extinction weapon." Although there was no such thing in the Mystic Lands before, it wasn't hard to understand from the literal point of view. But … what kind of level could be called "environmental extinction"?
Be it the Dark Elves or Marchioness Barland, none of them could imagine how tragic the environmental extinction that the mage mentioned would be. Especially Mair, who had seen the Magician's ruthlessness. If it was a level of danger that even the Magician himself was afraid of, then how dangerous would it be?
Or did he think that this was nonsense to coax a child and had to encourage the girl in front of him to try it? Mair didn't dare, really didn't dare. Angering the Magician was a small matter, but killing himself was a big matter. And according to what he knew of the Magician, there was a very high chance that he would really kill himself.
Kaya also didn't dare to hand the Rose of Labian to anyone else. Instead, she carefully put it back into the brocade pouch and tied it tightly. During the whole process, the two beside her didn't even dare to breathe loudly. It wasn't until the girl put the brocade pouch away that they let out a long breath. Mair then asked, "Why would your teacher make something like this? Who did he want to kill? "
Tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Kaya said, "At that time, I think he had just finished the prototype of 'No Life for Me' and was in the process of testing it. Halloumi suddenly asked him why this type of weapon had to be shaped like a gun. Wouldn't it be beautiful if it was shaped like flowers and grass? Then, 'No Life for Me' was quickly finalized, and then he made the Rose of Labian for us to defend ourselves. "
The girl's narration was equally flat. But in fact, it had caused a huge stir in someone's place back then.
Why did a magic gun have to be shaped like a gun? This question dealt a heavy blow to someone's deep-rooted worldview.
In the development of firearms on Earth, there was one structural component that was indispensable on a gun, and that was the gun barrel. No matter how the trigger, the hammer, the crosshair, and the stock of the gun were changed, the gun barrel would always be there. It was just that the length and the caliber varied.
The purpose of the gun barrel was to constrain the direction of the bullet's flight so that it could roughly shoot in the direction it wanted. Only a weapon that could be controlled was meaningful. Otherwise, if you hit the primer with a hammer, the bullet could still be fired, but it was uncertain who would be killed.
So, on Earth, the design of guns revolved around the gun barrel as the core to create all kinds of guns and cannons.
But in the Land of Mystery, a country of magic. Through a magic array, power was converted into a condensation of pure energy, and then charged at the target at lightning speed to cause damage. In this process, it didn't matter whether the gun barrel existed or not. In that case, was there any reason to make the weapon into a gun?
Breaking away from the fixed idea of a weapon's appearance, a magic metal rose was the final finished product that Lin made. And the name came from a certain real-life robot animation on Earth. After mixing in the elements of magic, the finished product's effect was beyond someone's imagination. The conclusion was that Earth's experience wasn't necessarily all superior to the Land of Mystery, unless it was exactly the same thing.
