"The Orient Nation strengthens its forces by securing its softwood tree and making weapons. That's our last chance to survive."
Hmm.
Weapons, huh?
I understand that this soft tree is unusual.
But will it be enough weapon to save a dying country by taking it from the lumber mill?
"What kind of weapon can we get out of this guy?
"Fufufufu. Does that sound like it, Lord Alphonse?
"Yes, please."
"Thank you very much. I'm not one of you to fight with. I'll show you something special. It's him."
With a little excitement, Banerjee puts his hand on something on a nearby desk.
Moving away from the cloth that was lying on it, there was something there that was made of a tree the size of which could be held by hand.
What is that?
"What is this? It feels like a bow."
The banana was made of a bow-like arc of wood and a bar connected at right angles to it.
You said it was a weapon, and now you're gonna fly an arrow?
"This is a crossbow made of softwood, Alphonse."
"Crossbow?"
"That's not true. Crossbows are more powerful weapons than just bows. However, due to its drawbacks and the fact that it's not as simple as a bow, it can be difficult to repair when it breaks or take time to prepare to fly an arrow."
"Heh. So, you don't want a bow?
"That's not true. Therefore, this crossbow has not been so popular even though it has been studied for development before. However, if there is this soft magic tree and magic stone, the story will be different. I want you to take a closer look. Is there a magic stone in the handle of this crossbow? This was created from the magic of Magic Stone Generation , which we can now use."
Oh, it's true.
The Magic Stone is definitely in there.
Besides, something was drawn on the surface of the magic stone.
"Is this a magic team? Does that mean this crossbow is magical?
"That's right. Alphonse was studying in Brilliant Magic Country. There are a lot of magic tools made there, and the technology is developing. This time, I also used the magic team technology to develop a new magic bow."
"... a magic bow? A crossbow?
It's a magic bow. The Orient of the Magic Bow. That's the name of the crossbow. It is a magical tool for the future of this country. Isn't it cool?
Oh, my God.
Doesn't it get complicated?
Well, I don't care what they call them.
I took the Orient of the Magic Bow in my hand and observed it seriously.
There is a part with strings like a bow on the front.
And the part of the stick that holds the hand contains magical stones with magical formations drawn in it, and maybe it will be activated by pouring magic into it.
In Brilliant Magic Country, there were many products that used these magical formations.
However, because it is a country with excellent magic skills, there are few opportunities to see it in variants and in this small group of countries.
Maybe it was simply because it was less available and more expensive outside of Brilliant Magic Country.
However, this magic bow made in Orient Country using this technology was completed because of the magic called [Magic Stone Generation] brought by Mr. Ars.
That creates magic stones.
I suppose I used a number of magic stones to try and write magic formations and study them.
"Earlier, Alphonse had easily poured magic into the soft magic tree. However, it is said that it is difficult to pour magic into the tree. I don't think I can do this for myself or anyone else."
"Oh, that's what you said."
"Hmm. That's why I used Magic Stones to make a Magic Bow. The Magic Team has made changes to the Soft Magic Tree when magic is poured into the Magic Stone. Originally, there is a high degree of flexibility in hard softwood trees. And with that soft state, you pull the arrow like this. This will allow us to launch a much more powerful attack than a conventional bow."
"I see. Is it because the softwood is so bent that the recoil is stronger if you pull it as hard as you can?"
"That's not true. And this also has the characteristic of being easy to handle. The bow will require a long training period before it can be used, but he should be able to use it during the day. As long as you have a soft tree, you can expect instant power enhancement."
Is that so?
Apparently, the Orient Nation is trying to deal with the current situation of a lack of combat power by preparing powerful weapons.
Sure, maybe it's better than training a sword now.
All you have to do is cast magic on the Magic Stone, and since there is magic called Magic Injection , anyone can do it by naming it.
Mm-hmm.
Being able to Ranged Attack would certainly be an incredible strength.
That means that the plan to get the softwood from the lumberjack is really going to be a battle for this country.
After observing the demon bow, he was finally briefed on the plan of the battle.
