Chapter 32 Darts

In addition to self-defense and fitness, there is another more important reason for Joan to practice darts, which is to further develop the actual combat use of the "Hand of the Higher Mage".

These things are too cumbersome to talk about, and he doesn't like long-winded explanations, so when faced with Kandy's questioning, he simply replied: "This is none of your business."

"Hmph, I knew you would say that!" Candy angrily snatched a dart from his hand, looked at it, and threw it on the table in distaste, "I don't like this kind of dart very much. We The hunters of the Algonquin tribe also use darts when hunting, but they are completely different from yours. They are larger and heavier. They look like a large banana. They are usually made of hardwood or horns. Empty, inject melted lead to increase weight." Conti drew a sketch of Asa darts on the ground with a branch, and introduced to Joan happily, "Throwing this kind of dart requires special skills. In the hands of a skilled hunter, throwing The darts that go out can not only hit the prey accurately, but also return to the hunter's hands by themselves."

"I saw the throwing weapon you mentioned in the book. If I remember correctly, that thing is called a 'boomerang'?" Joan asked Conti.

"That's right, it's a boomerang! It's a pity that I don't know how to make this kind of weapon, otherwise you can use a boomerang instead, which is much better than that kind of tiny dart." Conti sighed regretfully.

Joan made no sound. He doesn't think boomerangs are more suitable for his current needs than darts. It is true that the boomerangs of the Asa tribe are more powerful and have a longer range. Unfortunately, the skills of using them seem to be quite complicated, and I am afraid that it will take a lot of energy to practice them freely. Besides, the boomerang is a long-range bludgeoning weapon, without a sharp edge, it can't quench the poison, and it can't play its strengths in the field of poison.

Knowing that Joan would rather be alone, Kandy chatted with him a few words before taking Jamie to inspect the woods on the back mountain.

After Conti left, Joan continued to practice dart throwing. After a period of recovery, the darts he throws can now be guaranteed to hit the target. As for whether he can hit the key point, it depends on luck-this is not his short-term goal.

After the darts reached a certain level of accuracy, Joan stopped practicing the current method and changed to using the "Hand of the Higher Mage" to throw darts remotely from this invisible force field hand—this is the real highlight.

The "Hand of the High Mage" is similar to Joan's hands in terms of strength and flexibility. At the same time, it also has two advantages that the real arm does not have: first, the extension distance is as long as 110 feet, and second, the force field arm is infinite. The color is invisible, and it is more suitable for launching a sneak attack.

After the previous few days of training, Joan has been able to skillfully manipulate the "High Mage Hand" to hold a dagger to perform basic tricks such as stabbing and blocking. On this basis, trying to remotely control the "High Mage Hand" to throw darts is also considered Explore the potential of this spell even further.

Joann was pleased with the results of the first attempt. The five darts thrown by the "Hand of the High Mage" all hit the target, and it feels like throwing it by yourself.

In order to give full play to the advantage of the "High Mage's Hand" in terms of extension distance, Joan hung the palm of the remote control force field above the boundary line in the next practice, and kept retreating until he reached the opposite wall. At this time, the distance between the "Hand of the High Mage" and the target is still about 20 feet, while the distance between Joan and the target is 60 feet. He must remotely control the "Hand of the High Mage" to throw darts from 40 feet away. You have to take care of the target.

Doing both well at the same time is not easy. Joan practiced for a whole morning before barely reaching the target, and most of the darts he threw could hit the target.

After lunch, Joan returned to the courtyard and continued to practice hard on throwing darts with the "Hand of High Mage".

The space inside the courtyard wall was no longer enough for him to use it, so he moved the target outside the courtyard and placed it against the big tree. Joan drew a boundary line 20 feet directly in front of the target, ensuring that the "Hand of the High Mage" hovered about five feet above the boundary line, and kept backing up until he was 140 feet away from the target, obviously feeling that he was in harmony with the target. The magic connection between the "Hands of the Higher Mage" has been stretched to the limit. If the distance continues to be extended, the magic connection will be broken, and the "Hands of the Higher Mage" will also be dispelled.

Joan stopped at the limit distance, and remotely controlled the "Hand of the High Mage" from a hundred feet away to throw darts at the target. In fact, such a long distance can no longer be called "aiming". The organs and blood vessels on the surface of the target became blurred in Joan's vision. It was just a bunch of red and blue color lines intertwined in a mess, let alone a precise hit. Crucially, even hitting the target has become extremely difficult. Joan tried three rounds, and only four of the fifteen darts hit the target, and he couldn't even be sure whether this was a reflection of his true level or pure luck.

In the next round, the wind direction changed, and the airflow interfered, causing none of the five darts to hit the target. This made Joan realize that darts, a small throwing weapon, do have big flaws as Conti said, especially in places with strong winds, the accuracy will be greatly affected.

Joan remote-controlled the "Hand of the High Mage" to pick up the darts and throw them repeatedly, just like a clockwork machine, repeating the above process continuously. The boring practice lasted all day, and it was not until the sun went down that Joan couldn't see the target clearly.

How effective is a whole day of hard training? Joan himself had no idea, but one thing was certain: he would continue to persevere.

After dinner, Joan went to the laboratory with the key given to him by Dr. Galandil, extracted and refined the remaining bloodroot and snake venom, formulated it into a paralyzing toxin, and carefully applied it to the darts on both sides of the head. On the prismatic edge.

The poisoned dart shone faintly blue under the moonlight. Qiao An couldn't find a suitable living thing to test the toxicity for a while, so he put the poisoned dart in his pocket to prevent the paralyzing toxin from decomposing under strong light.

After finishing these things, it was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night. Joan cleaned up the laboratory bench, and after washing, he got into a sleeping bag and his clothes and lay down.

The next morning, Joan woke up on the floor of the Galandil alchemy laboratory. After washing up, it took an hour to prepare the spell, and after eating a little dry food, he hurried out with his bag on his back. The bloodroot and snake venom are all used up, and Joan plans to go to the swamp to collect some more today.

After leaving the town, walk south along the river valley path, the vegetation along the way gradually becomes lush, and the road under your feet is getting more and more muddy. When the morning sun completely jumped out of the horizon, Joan arrived at the edge of the swamp, and as expected, he saw the gray bag beast sitting on the slope, leaning on the tree stump and dozing off.
