After Gilga said this, Viyani then looked at him, with an unpleasant expression.

"What do you mean?"

Not looking back at her, Gilga replied.

"They're hiding something. And whatever it is, it isn't simple."

Hearing this, Viyani couldn't help but give Gilga a dubious expression.

She handled such situations for years and years to come. Such hyumans have always had that sort of hidden secret style with them.

So of course, she knows and made things on what to do when such situations arises.

But hearing it from Gilga, it's just simply... Confusing.

They have always prepared well when handling territory outside the UEE. Always keeping special units within the said territory's vicinity.

"This... You aren't being clear Sir Gilga."

Hearing this, Gilga could only sigh. He then said his next words before falling silent.

"Time will not help Miss Viyani... Only experience."

Seeing as Gilga went silent, Viyani simply threw the one and only matter to herself.

Though, his last words did indicated something to her. Gilga lived longer than her. Although she doesn't know his actual age she herself suspects that Gilga lived for nearly a thousand years now.

Also, from what she sees, Gilga himself could be on what could of be called as his best condition if not his prime one.

More so, It would be idiotic, if not childish to presume, that, his age could become a factor to his decisions.

Were elves, not hyumans.

The words alone could already say that both are different.

Shaking her head inwardly, Viyani could only give herself a downed sigh.

"Responsibilities, responsibilities..."

Just as Viyani was just thinking if such thoughts, Gilga then stopped and faced her as they approached a door.

As they approached, he then positioned himself on the other side of the door. Contrast to where Viyani is standing at.

Breathing in deeply, Viyani then affixed herself as her hand approaches the door knob.

However, before she could do so, the door, in front of her, blew up to pieces.

*Some time Earlier*

Looking at the ridiculous arsenal of weapons placed in front of them. The Emperor couldn't help but gulp.

The weapons placed in front of him all varied.

From bladed ones to bows and arrows. There were even some weapon models that they haven't seen before.

The king then motioned for one of the cloaked people to approach one of the weapons, in to the cloaked person's answer, heeded to it.

As the cloaked person began choosing what weapon to take in, Brando could tell that the person felt jittery. Judging by the constant twitching of his fingers.

After some time, the cloaked person then took his pick in to which, amused Brando a little. Making him smirk.

"A Barnett Ghost A-Xe10 Not a bad pick. Say, I'd like to ask, are you a hunter by any chance?"

The cloaked person looked at Brando and nodded his head.

After this, the cloaked person then looked Emperor Amir, in to which Emperor Amir then said,

"Why not we test this weapons... in an open field per se?"

Hearing what Emperor Amir said, Brando simply smiled.

Nodding, Emperor Amir then ordered one of his attendants to get the practice field ready. Followed by this was he order to bring all accounted weapons for practice use.

"Your taking all of them?" Ask Brando.

Emperor Amir looked at him and smiled amiably.

"Of course we would. How would we know if you fulfilled your promise to us then?"

Hearing what Emperor Amir said, Brando simply raised both of his hands.

"This guy be spitting some pellets now ain't he..." Thought Brando.

......

*Practice field*

As preparations are being done on the practice field, Brando's men began telling where how to practice use the crossbow that was about to be used.

At the same time, the Empress couldn't help but be curtsey to Emperor Amir as she told him her findings.

"Oh dear, I tell you. I have never seen the spirits so happy before. These weapons done in by Adventurer Brando sure do brought a huge surprise to them."

"Oh? And how so?"

"Well, besides being made in the same materials, they said that it seems to have been best suited for them. These sort of weapons styles seems to have brought new light. I have never seen the spirits so happy before. Even my spirit, the spirit of the sun, Mirkañ, had his whole face stumped seeing such happy young ones."

"Hmm..."

While the Empress was going on and on, Eman then approached the Cloaked person, the one testing the crossbow.

Inserting a loaded up bolt casing to the Barnett Ghost, Eman then gave the crossbow to the cloaked person.

"The casing has 150 Xenon bolts all connected as a belt. Fully cock it up to the 10th edge of the flight groove to enable it to shoot 10 times simultaneously." Said Eman.

"Any questions?"

After Eman asked this, the cloaked person then gave him his questions.

"How would it be able to shoot ten times simultaneously if your only cocking it once on the flight groove?"

"The string used for this crossbow is a powerful carbonic nylon string from our... country. The prod is just 2 1/2 long, at the same time the string has the same length. Through this, the energy generated from the overly stretched string is what generates the energy needed to propulse the bolt out from each edge."

"Right after as the bolt gets flown out of the groove, a new bolt places itself immediately on the next edge, stopping the string from going back."

As Eman finished explaining, the cloaked person then asked.

"And the maximum range?"

"350 yards."

Hearing this, the cloaked person immediately froze one the spot.

"350 yards??" Thought the cloaked person.

Facing Eman, the cloaked person then asked.

"That... Doesn't that sound a bit exaggerated?"

The cloaked person will admit. He has never seen such a peculiar crossbow in his entire lifetime. Even after looking and varying from multiple types of weapons, this crossbow was a sure hit to being different than the rest.

Though, the maximum range being 350 yards? That, in of itself, surely sounded like a white lie to him.

The norm range for crossbows, that of he knows, was somewhere around 110 to 150 yards.

Attach a wind rune to it, then that particular range would surely increase from 110 - 150 into 140 - 190.

However, that's all there is to it. Any further would increase the chances of the bolt not hitting its expected target.

Hearing the cloaked person's question, Eman only looked at him blankly.

Moments passed after that, he then said.

"Explanation is hard without demonstration. I'd suggest trying it out for yourself first before asking."

After he said this, Eman then pointed to the three targets from the distance, with each target farther from each other.

"Three targets, 180 yards, 260 yards, 350 yards. Those are the distance of each target from you."

"Are you good to go?"

After Eman asked this, the cloaked persons n then only nodded his head.

"Explanation is hard without demonstration huh... He has a point." Thought the cloaked person.

Seeing the cloaked person organizing himself into position, Eman then excused himself.

......

Walking towards Tala, Eman then motioned for his fingers slicing through his neck.

Seeing this, Tala simply rolled her eyes at him.

"Why would you say that your dead beat? is it because your talking to an elf that isn't female?" Asked Tala as Eman approached the appropriate distance to hear what she said without the need for shouting.

"What? No. it's not like. I did that because im already tired, thinking just what sorts of question they would arise to use once testing is finished." Replied Eman with a "what the hell is that sort of question your asking" expression.

Hearing this, Tala merely chuckled.

Although she hadn't delved to much on crossbow production herself, she at least has the heart knows how it functions.

The bolts from the crossbow aren't actually being shot out of the crossbow due to the carbonic nylon. Instead, it was actually kinetic energy that shoots out the bolts from the crossbow itself.

Using the rules of potential and kinetic energy to the maximum, the crossbow has been designed with a computer chip strong enough to measure the amount of energy the carbonic nylon has.

As the carbonic nylon, or perhaps in simpler terms, the string of the crossbow is just the same length of the bow's prod, the energy piled up in the string itself has been measured to be reaching 350-500 joules.

That amount of energy in of itself was well, lethal in its own way. However, the charm of this weapon was in its power to consecutively shoot 10 times. Due to that, the energy from from that number then lowers itself.

As for why the bolts could project itself into such a far range. All Tala knows about that is the usage of nano-machines. If one wants to know even more about it, they could only ask those crazed nano-machine engineers back at the country.

Disregarding her current thoughts for the time being, Tala then shifted her focus from engineering to testing as she looked over the cloaked elf from the distance.

Having a sweet smile written on her face, she could only wait for the end to see the reaction of this elf who probably has only took hold of an normal magic thingy crossbow.
