Archer's Adventure Manual
Chapter 119: Advancement
His hands moved swiftly, taking down arrows one after another, each hitting the bullseye with pinpoint accuracy, all landing precisely in one spot without any hesitation.
As they entered the arena alongside Elfin, they were drawing their bows to fire their third arrow when they suddenly discovered that the target next to them was already full of arrows!
What's even more terrifying is that these arrows all landed precisely in the center of the target!
Precision is one thing, but it's happening at a relatively rapid rate of fire. How can anyone compete with that?
For a time, the mentality of the competitors who competed with Erfen was affected to some extent. Two competitors missed the target several times and were unable to participate in the subsequent events.
The few spectators in the stands were also drawn to the blond man, amazed that such a strong person existed.
When it was Loran's turn to go on stage, he only needed to be in the top 16 in terms of points. Loran didn't want to be too high-profile, so after activating his precision shooting, he hit the bullseye with several arrows, and then the remaining arrows were all within the bullseye.
The points earned were numerous, but not to the exaggerated extent of Elfen's. Many people were still amazed, but given Elfen's precedent, no one was too surprised.
The person in charge sorted out the scores and then asked the sixteen people to step forward and enter the next round of the competition, while the other unsuccessful contestants could only go home.
Lorraine entered the group without any pressure.
"Listen up, everyone. Originally, all 16 of you could have participated in tomorrow's archery competition, but after some consideration, the lord wants to reduce the number of participants."
"After all, Mr. Mark Warren's wedding needs to be concise and straightforward, and the competition also needs to be scaled down."
"Therefore, we need to conduct one more project to select eight people to enter tomorrow's competition!"
Several people who were initially happy to have advanced were stunned when they heard the news. They were hoping to make a name for themselves in such a large-scale competition, but they didn't expect there to be a second round.
Even though they had a million complaints in their hearts, they couldn't say them out loud. After all, there were still many connections between nobles, and offending the host might cause some trouble. No one seemed to have any objections.
"The second round of testing requires at least three arrows to hit the bullseye. Scores will then be tallied and ranked, with no misses allowed. The top eight will advance to tomorrow's competition!"
This time, two people went up to shoot, and the contestants all gave it their all. Most of them were able to hit the bullseye with at least three arrows.
However, a few have not yet achieved this goal.
Loran coincidentally ended up shooting alongside Elfin this time.
Elfin raised his head slightly to signal to Loran, but Loran ignored him and focused on shooting. With precise aim, Loran hit the bullseye five times and the remaining five arrows hit the bullseye, keeping a low profile.
Elfin, on the other hand, made no attempt to conceal his strength, and all ten arrows hit the bullseye with perfect accuracy.
The spectators in the stands gasped again. This guy... is he always this accurate?!
"Hey, why aren't you using your full strength? I think you could hit the bullseye every time, just like me," Elfin teased Loran.
Loran glanced at Elfin and said calmly, "Oh, perhaps you're mistaken."
"Hmm, I hope you can give it your all in the main competition." Elfin smiled slightly.
As expected, Loran advanced to the main draw.
Among them, Aried, who had introduced Loran, also qualified for the top eight. He walked over with a smile and praised, "Wow, Loran, you're amazing! I didn't expect we'd both make it to the main event. Let's keep going!"
"Yeah, let's do our best together!"
After finishing the archery competition preliminaries, Loran walked down the street with Brian and found that Rockfall Town was gradually becoming more lively.
The main reason was the upcoming wedding of Mark Warren, so Baron Warren started holding various pre-wedding events in town to liven up the atmosphere.
If the townspeople can truly feel that they can also enjoy tangible benefits from the events organized by the nobles, they will be more enthusiastic about participating in the events.
Loran saw a shop packed with adventurers, so he peeked inside and discovered that many adventurers were selecting goods.
These goods are mostly basic materials, such as furs, wood, and plant materials. Today, this shop is also benefiting from the lord's favor, offering sufficient discounts to encourage adventurers to make purchases, resulting in this overcrowded situation.
There wasn't anything Loran particularly wanted here, so Loran only glanced at it briefly before looking away.
It wasn't until Loran saw a butcher shop with bones piled up next to it, which also included the discounts given by the lord, that he understood.
Lorraine immediately bought ten bones, and Brian almost burst into tears when he saw Lorraine's action.
At this moment, the master's image was so majestic. Brian picked up a bone and began to gnaw on it with great relish.
"This lord is quite adept at handling things," Loran remarked. In his mind, nobles represented exploitation, but when it came to face, the Warren nobles were anything but timid.
During the training camp, he met Finita, who also heard about Lorraine's participation in the archery competition on his wedding day.
"Wow! Isn't that a competition only nobles can participate in? You actually sneaked in, no, you actually broke in! Loran, you're amazing! I'll get my friends to go cheer you on!" Finita said excitedly.
Loran blinked, looking at the harmless Finita beside him. Why did he feel... that Finita's style was getting weirder and weirder?
Isn't Finita supposed to be a sweet, soft-spoken girl who blushes easily when she talks? How could she utter words that only Lin Wen would use? Something's not right, something's really not right!
Brian curled up at Finita's feet, yawned lazily, and smiled happily as he looked at the two chatting and laughing above him.
When the owner is happy, he is happy; when the team members are happy, he is happy too!
The puppy's world is pure. He doesn't know what the monsters' purpose is, but he will absolutely not allow anything that could harm his master.
Brian wagged his tail, quietly watching the sunset's afterglow streaming through the door, his face full of happiness.
But just then, a small figure kept growing larger in his pupils. Brian thought it was his imagination, but when he looked closely, it really was a familiar small figure!
