Knight and Wand

Chapter 365: Times have changed. But nothing has changed!

After eating a large amount, the body's instinctive desire for energy is slightly alleviated.

After confirming that the local food had no adverse effects on her body, Leon felt at ease letting Olivia eat these canned foods.

He resisted the drowsiness and fatigue and got up. He came to the armor lining and armor that were lying on the sofa. Just as he was about to put them on, he put down the thick armor again.

Even thick steel plate armor is unable to directly resist the direct attack of local large-caliber guns. Wearing chain mail and armed clothing under the armor seems to be meaningless except slowing down one's movements and making one sweat.

Turning to look at the griffin plate armor, the surface was covered with ricochet scratches from indoor combat under dense firepower coverage, caused by the body's body movements.

In addition, the iron gloves and the inward-curved ring armor at the elbows and knees are often twisted and damaged during the intense self-collision during exercise.

Leon simply took action and dismantled those parts that were not in line with the geometric logic of this world and had been destroyed, retaining only the steel boots, greaves, chest armor, arm armor, and shoulder armor.

Without rushing to put on the simplified armor again, he turned and walked into the bedroom of the family, opened the closet and looked for an outer coat that could be worn over the undershirt to separate the metal armor.

Looking at the avant-garde and unique clothes in the closet, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"This style is quite punk. Was the owner of the house originally a rock musician? Or is this just the local culture?"

However, he didn't see any men's clothing after searching around, and realized that the house probably originally belonged to a single woman. So he gave up and planned to go to the nearby area to see if there were any abandoned clothing stores.

But looking at the leather jacket, hot pants and long boots in the closet, Leon suddenly couldn't help but glance at his lovely wife who was sitting in the living room, chewing food with puffy cheeks.

"Olivia, would you like to come and take a look? I think this dress suits you very well." His heart moved, and he couldn't help but become excited.

Olivia heard the call, put down the food and walked into the room.

"What? Clothes for me?"

She saw Leon shaking the black shorts in his hand that had no trouser legs and were only slightly longer than the "women's underwear" that he had invented for her in Avalon.

Looking at Leon's other hand holding a piece of clothing that looked like a sleeveless vest but was as thin as pajamas, Olivia tilted her head in confusion, and a question mark seemed to appear on her undried blonde hair.

"You're not out of danger yet. If you want to sleep and rest, why do you have to change into pajamas?" Olivia asked puzzledly.

Even when marching safely, they would often keep their armor on and rest at all times.

Leon quickly explained to the puzzled girl seriously: “You misunderstood, this dress is actually worn outside.”

"!?"

Olivia blinked and looked at the shorts in disbelief. Indeed, Leon was also holding a pair of fancy-looking real underwear in his hand.

"Wear it outside? Such short pants?.Wear it outside??!"

The girl's pretty face flushed, and she immediately crossed her hands in front of her body. She jumped back like her hair stood on end, and her pupils trembled at the shameless outfit in her mind.

"How can this be possible!"

Unless she was wearing a pair of long pants underneath, wouldn't such a short outfit expose her legs completely? And the pajama-like top didn't even cover her waist!
"I see, you want to play a trick on me again." Olivia frowned and glared at him angrily.

"How could that be? Actually, this kind of attire is quite normal in my hometown. But, well, it may indeed be too early for you. I just think that we should wear something lighter under the armor so that we can move more easily."

Seeing Olivia jumping away like a frightened animal and not being fooled, Leon could only shrug awkwardly and temporarily gave up the urge to change his wife's clothes to make them warm.

Summer outfits that are too cool are indeed too stimulating for the little lion who grew up in a small mountain village in the feudal era.

Throwing the black hot pants back into the closet, Leon picked out a pair of neat leather trousers with a diagonal belt and a punk-style black jacket.

"Then this should be fine." Leon blinked innocently and suggested again weakly.

Seeing the anticipation in her lover's eyes, and seeing that this set seemed a lot more normal than before, Olivia nodded.

"You said you weren't teasing me, but I have some normal-looking clothes."

The girl muttered as she took the strange foreign-style clothes, and then, despite Leon's strong protest, she pushed the malicious villain out of the bedroom. She then took off her plain velvet shirt and changed into this strange-style clothing.

To be honest, the girl was caught off guard and came to this strange place. After taking a bath, she wore old clothes stained with the smell of corpses and blood. Her overly sensitive sense of smell made her endure the discomfort.

Leon shook his head regretfully outside the door and had to go back to the sofa in the living room to put on his armor.

After a while, Olivia, wearing new clothes, pushed the door open and walked out. Leon turned his head and looked at her, his eyes shining.

The girl with a ponytail wore a sleeveless vest and a fashionable jacket, paired with black leather pants with leather buckles.

The girl's image and style suddenly changed from the elegant and bright knight girl to an exceptionally neat and rebellious punk girl. If she had a guitar in her hand, she would definitely be the lead singer of an unruly rock band.

But his eyes are still too gentle. It would be cooler if they were cold and ruthless when killing an enemy.
As expected, he is our Golden Lion Knight, so handsome.

Leon's fiery gaze made Olivia blush, and the girl smoothed her hair uncomfortably. Her husband's undisguised love for her naturally made her excited.

"Okay! Stop staring at me. If you like it so much, I'll wear it for you when we get back. What should we do next?"

Olivia walked over, zipped up her jacket, picked up her greaves and steel boots, and put them on again. She asked sideways, "Since this world has also suffered the undead plague, should we look for local organizations like the Jihad Alliance that are still fighting this terrible disaster? Perhaps we can find a way home from the spellcasters of this world."

Hearing this, Leon put away his fiery eyes and nodded: “I think so too.”

He looked at the screen display device in the living room, which looked like a TV. Unfortunately, although the town had not yet lost water, the energy supply for civilian equipment had been cut off.

No energy was transmitted to the conical connector inserted into the round hole in the wall, although he tried to transmit electrical energy to those household technical devices, this world, although very similar to the earth, is not the earth after all.

The locals didn't use electricity at all. After a lot of effort, he converted atmospheric elements into electrical energy and injected it into a household device that looked like a communicator, but it had no effect other than burning the internal structure of the device.

Unable to use these devices to understand this world, nor able to try to communicate with the outside world, Olivia and I can only continue to look for living people who can communicate with us in farther places.
After Olivia removed the troublesome joints of the armor and put on the plate armor again, Leon pulled the cloak beside him, unbuttoned it, and spread the weapons and ammunition that had been seized previously on the table for inventory.

He picked up the exotic gun and explained to Olivia how to use it.

".The trigger here is the same as the Silver Mountain Crossbow. Pulling it will fire the bullet. This is the magazine. Press this small button to remove it. This is for adjusting the shooting mode. This is the safety."

Olivia was taught every detail about how to operate a rifle and a pistol. The girl listened carefully and had no difficulty understanding.

It is nothing more than a unique crossbow that fires metal arrows, but it is not fired by a bowstring, but by the alchemical explosive at the back of the metal arrow to generate power.

As for the use of skills, there is no difficulty at all, whether it is for Olivia or Leon.

With the strength of the Knights of the Order of Arms, the recoil of the gun when it was fired was basically non-existent for the two of them, and they didn't even need to shoot with their shoulders against it.

When holding the gun handle and firing, as long as the two people do not change the direction themselves, no matter how the muzzle explodes, the gun body will be like welded to the air.

And shooting accuracy.
After a simple test firing to adapt to and practice the changes in the bullet's trajectory, both Leon and Olivia were able to use their martial arts intuition to incorporate the bullet's flight trajectory into their natural perception.

Leon discovered that the two had the same martial arts talent and were equally well suited to long-range shooting.

The innate power of being able to see the trajectory and landing point of the bullet before firing made him feel that they were using guns like cheats.

Not wanting to waste any more ammunition, Leon put down the rifle he was holding with one hand and looked at the zombies that were attracted by the sound of the gunfire but were accurately shot in the head by him and Olivia before they could get close. He felt sad.
In his previous life, he had only experienced using firearms once at a civilian shooting range, and his level was so embarrassing that he could only shoot birds with just the aim. In this life, after less than a day of touching a gun, he became a sharpshooter who could freely decide the landing point of the bullet within the effective range.

I really don't know if this gun can still be used if I can return to the original realm.

With the material perception accuracy of a spellcaster, and relying on the alchemical equipment in the workshop of the Helan Dwarves and the Mage Tower, it would not be difficult for him and Corvis to manually replicate bullets of the same specifications and accuracy. The only difference was that the output efficiency was a little low.

But the internal physical and mechanical structure of the gun, and most importantly, the paste-like explosive filled in the polymer shell, whether it can work under the plane rules of the Western Continent is a question. Even the armor with simple basic physical structure on the two of them can't adapt to the local climate. The more sophisticated the structure of the equipment, the greater the possibility of failure.

Leon shook his head and temporarily put aside the beautiful fantasy of pulling out a big gun and shouting "times have changed" to the enemy in the future. Now is not the time to think about such things.

He and Olivia put the pistol back into the holster on the armor belt and hung two grenades with different functions. Leon replaced the rifle with full bullets, put it on the shoulder strap and carried it behind him. He took the girl out of the house and tried to search for the vehicle's energy source in the surrounding streets.

The local technological products of this realm not only do not use electricity, but even the cars do not run on oil.

Using his magic to extend his power into the interior of the seized vehicle, he only found a container that was suspected to be storing some kind of coolant, but no "fuel tank" for liquid fuel. Leon explored and analyzed the power structure for a while, and finally discovered the solid energy source in the groove inside the rear shell of the vehicle by half-guessing.

Not seeing any energy-sustaining buildings like gas stations, Leon had to take Olivia around the town, prying open every abandoned vehicle they could find to search.

Lifting Gungnir, he easily unlocked the energy groove on the rear shell of a car. Leon shook his head in disappointment. It was another empty car.

He tilted his head to look to the side, and saw Olivia, who was holding guns in both hands and on guard. He suddenly felt that his little lion, wearing Gothic plate armor and holding an automatic firearm, looked like a heroic and dashing "combat nun".

As he was thinking this wonderfully, Leon suddenly saw Olivia closing her eyes and listening. She seemed to have noticed something and suddenly raised her rifle, pointing it at the dark sky and warning him.

"There are flying war beasts in the sky approaching this town."

Leon was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked in the direction where Olivia's gun was pointing. Even though the distance was very far and the visibility was very low in the gloomy light, he quickly discovered the shadow.

"It's a helicopter." Leon's heart tightened, but he couldn't tell whether it was an enemy or a friend.

"Unless it lands, the guns in our hands can't threaten it." Leon raised his hand to press down the muzzle of Olivia's gun, and pulled the girl quickly back to the previous parking place.

He quickly weighed the pros and cons and decided that regardless of whether the helicopter spotted them or not, they had to drive away as quickly as possible.

If those were pursuers sent by vampires, there was no telling how many local vampire troops might be following the helicopter.

Olivia opened the car door and ducked into the back seat.

Leon wanted to push the overlong Gungnir through the rear window of the car, but changed his mind.

He hardened his heart and no longer worried about whether the wand would be damaged. After several months, he activated the transformation spell and transformed the magic gun into an invisible elemental state.

Seeing that Gungnir could still smoothly transform into atmosphere in the alien dimension, Leon felt relieved and quickly got into the driver's seat, driving the vehicle at full speed along the road towards the interior of the town.

"Is it chasing us?" Leon asked without looking back as he drove the powerful steel vehicle across the avenue at high speed.

Olivia was lying in the back seat, leaning against the rear window and looking at the gloomy sky, but the sound of the iron car's engine interfered with her hearing. The girl frowned and looked at the car, and found a skylight handle on the top. She immediately stood up, opened the top window, and half of her body leaned out of the roof with a rifle in hand.

"It's still hovering there and hasn't caught up with us." Olivia shrank back and replied to Leon.

Leon relaxed a little. Maybe he ran fast enough? The other party hadn't discovered them yet.

However, after driving at high speed for a few minutes and about to leave the town from the other side and enter the highway, he was shocked to find a row of military vehicles appearing at the end of his sight, blocking the road ahead.

Without waiting for any reaction or countermeasures, my intuitive alarm bells suddenly rang.

Seeing a death trajectory approaching at an extremely fast speed, Leon immediately crouched down and tilted his head to turn his upper body away.

Almost at the same time, before the sound of the front windshield shattering reached the ears, it had been pierced through, like a bullet hole in the middle of the spider web-like cracks, and the headrest of the driver's seat was also blown open, with the fluff flying inside.

Facing this deadly sniper attack coming head-on, Leon was shocked and angry. If it weren't for his combat instinct, even he would not be able to dodge such a bullet speed. His body tempering technique had not yet covered his head, so he would surely die if hit by a bullet in the head!

But now at least we can be sure that the person coming is an enemy, not a friend.

"——Fight back! Olivia!"

Leon rushed forward at full speed, opened the rear windows on both sides, and released his Golden Lion Knight.

Seeing from the rearview mirror the girl leaning forward from the right side with a gun, he steered the car sideways in tacit understanding.

With a few loud bangs, three bullets flew out of Olivia's gun barrel from the side of the bumpy vehicle.

Two bullets whizzed past the curved edge of the door of the checkpoint army's vehicle and penetrated into the eye sockets of the soldier who was holding his gun and waiting for the target to come into range.

The bullets penetrated their skulls, causing the backs of their heads to explode like cracked coconuts.

On the roof of the car, the sniper lying behind the gun shield armor also instantly tilted his head back as if he had lost control.

The bullet that passed through the gap between the gun and shield was wrapped in tangible anger and pierced through the sniper's face.

It was just the beginning. Olivia's gun muzzle moved slightly while she was speeding, and the next moment, the gunfire continued to explode.

Traces of death flew towards several military vehicles at a distance beyond the accurate range of rifles.

Clusters of blood flowers bloomed beautifully behind the heads of the intercepting soldiers.

“****!**!”

The squad commander next to the military vehicle in the rear watched in horror as the soldiers holding guns in various tactical positions continued to fall on their backs, and he roared in anger.

The heavy weapons operator on the roof crouched in fear and hid behind his gun shield, pulling the trigger in advance and aimlessly pouring suppressive fire forward.

Amid the sound of gunfire, several soldiers ignored the order to leave the target's body behind and followed the commander's instructions. They carried individual rockets and went around to the side, locking onto the speeding vehicle.

With a few muffled bangs, the individual missiles, trailing flames, shot up into the sky and chased after it at an astonishing speed.

However, the missiles only approached the vehicle about two hundred meters before they turned into deafening explosions and fireworks in the air.

Leon turned the rudder violently to avoid the hail of machine gun bullets coming from the front.

Olivia, who intercepted the missile, crawled back to the back seat from one side, stood up and climbed onto the sunroof. There was another burst of gunfire. As the girl emptied the magazine, the machine gun on the roof in front finally went silent.

Throwing away the empty magazine, Olivia inserted the new magazine with lightning speed. Her brain was working at high speed, searching for any enemy who dared to show up in front of her with her extraordinary vision.

Thirty bullets and arrows killed twenty-five enemies in one blow, and no enemy dared to expose their bodies to fight back.

Leon accelerated at full speed and had driven the car to within a hundred meters of the enemy.

"Get ready to jump out of the car! Kill them all and we'll change cars!" Leon shouted, locking the rudder.

Pulling out the rifle from behind with his right hand, he and Olivia jumped out of the car door one after the other just before the vehicle was about to hit.

Boom!

The reckless front end of the car crashed into the military vehicle blocking the road, causing it to shake violently. Amid the sky full of metal wreckage and flames of explosion, Leon's heavy steel boots suddenly stepped on the roof of the enemy's car, causing the entire frame to sink.

Looking at the pale face who hurriedly raised the gun and tried to shoot, the black-armored knight showed a cruel sneer at the slow movement of the blood descendant here.

If these foreign descendants were dragged into close combat with a Knight of Arms like himself, they would die.

Seven steps away, your gun is faster.

Within seven steps, my fist is faster than a gun.
