[Multiple Arrows] didn't have any combat energy training content, so it wasn't a combat energy secret manual, but it was a combat energy technique. A Knight of any attribute could practice it.
It was divided into three levels: Double Arrows, Triple Arrows, and Multiple Arrows, as well as an ultimate move — Multiple Phantom Arrows.
Marcus, riding the yellow-gray horse, carefully demonstrated the [Multiple Arrows] that he had practiced, and then explained each arrow in conjunction with it.
"There are five ways to use Double Arrows. The most common one I use is Double Arrows at the same time, which is to simply shoot two arrows and hit one target. The second is Double Arrows Cross, which is to shoot two arrows side by side and use magic to guide the impact, thus changing the direction in the air. The remaining Double Arrows Spiral, Double Arrows Chain, and Double Arrows Rapid Arrows aren't very practical. "
It was indeed difficult to control the horse and the arrows while riding on a horse.
So what Markus meant was that as long as one was proficient in Double Arrows at the same time and Double Arrows Cross, they could already be called a godly archer and would be invincible on the battlefield.
As for the other archery techniques, they could only be effective while standing on the ground and carefully practicing them.
He continued, "Triple Arrow is basically an advanced version of Double Arrow. Three Arrows in Unison, Three Arrows in Spiral, Three Arrows in Chain, Three Arrows in Rapid Release, and Three Arrows in Random Release. The theory is the same, but the control requirements are higher. The same goes for Multiple Arrows. Multiple Arrows at the same time, Spiral Shadow Arrows, Multiple Arrows Chain, Multiple Arrows Random Arrows, and Multiple Arrows Cross require more control. "
After stopping the horse, Markus could use Triple Arrows and Multiple Arrows one by one.
After emptying the quiver, he shook his head, not satisfied with his archery skills, "I can master Triple Arrows while standing still, but not Multiple Arrows. It's too difficult. There's also the ultimate move, Multiple Phantom Arrows. I need at least a quarter of an hour to prepare this move before I dare to use it. "
A person's hand.
Holding one arrow was very stable, holding two arrows was not bad, and holding three arrows was also fine, just enough space for three fingers to hold one arrow each.
But holding more arrows was not possible. One had to hold two arrows between fingers, which was very difficult, not to mention that one had to allocate magic to guide each arrow.
The Earth Knight's control of combat energy could not be so subtle.
The squire plucked the arrows off the target one by one and handed them back to Markus.
Markus let out a long sigh, trying to ease his tense emotions. "Sir, it's already hard for me to control more than three Multi Arrows. Now, it's even harder to control the Ultimate Profoundness. That's why I broke it down into two shots, three arrows each, which can barely achieve the effect recorded in Multiple Arrows. "
He pulled out three arrows from the quiver. "The first three arrows use a gentle force, allowing the arrows to be thrown out at a low speed. The last three arrows use a violent force, allowing the arrows to be thrown out at a high speed and collide with the first three arrows. Thus, the speed of the six arrows reaches the same, and their trajectories are disrupted, like phantoms."
After that.
He opened his mouth and bit down on the three arrows, then pulled out another three arrows and fired. The moment he let go, the three arrows flew upwards.
He quickly put the three arrows in his mouth into his hand, and once again drew the bow. This time, the bowstring was almost pulled into a full moon, and the moment the arrow was released, there was a violent whistling sound.
"Xiu!"
"Xiu!"
"Xiu!"
In midair, the three fast arrows flew in a flat trajectory, colliding with the arrows in front of them. In an instant, the six arrows spun in the air.
Looking at it with the naked eye, it was as if dozens of arrows had suddenly appeared, randomly shooting at the three targets.
Before Liszt could even blink, the phantoms dispersed, leaving only six arrows, which hit the target in the middle. Five of the arrows stuck straight into the target, but one brushed past the target and flew out.
"I still can't completely grasp the trajectories of the six arrows," Markus said with some disappointment.
But Liszt applauded. "Teacher Markus, your archery skills are already amazing. Let's quickly start practicing. I can't wait to use Multi Phantom Arrows." In reality, he felt a little bitter in his heart. Markus's archery skills were simply unfathomable.
He originally thought that it was just a routine of two or three arrows, and he just needed to learn it casually.
But now he discovered that without being proficient in Double Arrow and Triple Arrow, he might not be able to learn Multi Arrow, let alone the ultimate meaning of Multi Phantom Arrows.
"This is probably the most difficult smoke mission I have ever encountered …"
It was already halfway through July. He really wasn't sure if he could learn [Multi Arrow] by the time August arrived. Although it was very difficult, he still had to do what he had to do. He decided to put down the burden of his thoughts and concentrate on learning archery. One day, he would learn this complicated [Multi Arrow].
Just as the count had said at the Going-out-to-the-sea Festival: "Don't be impatient, time is on your side."
He was only sixteen years old.
He still had a long life ahead of him.
The Flower Town was thriving with each passing day. There were no crises that could not be dealt with, so he could live a relaxed and happy life. The dream of riding a dragon could not be fulfilled in a hurry.
… …
In the blink of an eye.
August arrived.
During this half a month, Liszt had been frantically learning archery. He had successfully mastered Triple Arrow and had begun to move towards Multi Arrow. The mares on the stud farm were basically all pregnant. Blackdragon had lost a lot of weight. Even with its dragon bloodline, it could not withstand the constant labor.
"Master, the stud farm's alfalfa has reached its limit. At present, the fief has a total of fifteen horses, five stallions and ten mares, all grazing on the stud farm. Apart from the three old mares that have lost their fertility, the other seven, including Firedragon, are already pregnant. "
One-eyed Barton said: "There are too many pregnant horses, and Blackdragon is about to get hurt. Therefore, they need a lot of nutrition. Relying on the stud farm's forage alone is definitely not enough."
"As long as the horses are raised well, just tell me what you need." Liszt was very concerned about the horses.
"For the sake of their health and nutrition, they need better concentrated fodder, preferably oats, barley, and wheat bran. Peanuts and peas are also very good."
This food was not worse than what the commoners ate, and even more. At least in terms of quantity, a horse's daily rations were equivalent to that of three adults.
Liszt did not refuse, directly agreeing to One-eyed Barton: "Alright."
He also had the confidence to agree, because after the Thorns Ridge's road was opened, the Flower Town's caravan could go out to do business unimpeded.
At present, they mainly sold seafood. The market had just opened, and Tulip Castle was the main buyer. They would go once every three days, and each time, they would purchase about half a gold coin worth of seafood. The Coral City's citizens also began to enjoy the delicious seafood. They would also go once every three days, and each time, they would sell it for half a gold coin.
In addition, the numerous lesser aristocrats living in the Coral City, as well as the aristocrats and citizens of the Northvalley City, which was closest to the Flower Town, added up to one gold coin every three days.
In other words, the Flower Town's caravan could earn two gold coins every three days.
On average, they earned 67 silver coins a day. The cost of seafood and the cost of traveling were practically negligible. This was a net income. Of course, Liszt had yet to see the gold and silver coins. Every time the caravan earned a bit, he would order them to purchase the items needed by the castle – salt, sugar, cloth, seasoning, soap, beer, and so on.
There was also the pig pancreas, which he had specifically ordered.
He even had the caravan purchase ten piglets, which he gave to the barley settlement's serfs to raise in the future! Chicken and duck seedlings were temporarily out of season, so they could not be bought. Foals, calves, and lambs were too expensive, so they could not be bought. For the time being, they had to rely on the town's own livestock production.
"This time, the caravan brought back …" Carter, who had finished the transaction with Old Grandet, returned to the castle and reported to Liszt.
