The next day, Alfonso woke up later than usual, it was almost 10:00 a.m. when he went to the hall and saw Artemis talking to a little bird, Alfonso was just going to sit down when he saw something at Artemis"s back, the bow, and the arrows, they were always there, but this time, Alfonso pay close attention to them. Artemis, feeling Alfonso"s gaze, stop talking to the little bird and turn around."What are you looking at?" Said coldly Artemis.
"Artemis, that bow…. I feel is very familiar, if I am not wrong, that should be a longbow, right?" Asked Alfonso.
The longbow was a traditional bow that many cultures in history use, the Greek, was part of them, if was a good bow for hunting, however, there were better ones, for example the composite bow. It was a larger bow with a special characteristic, the string could stretch longer so the distance that the arrow could travel was approximately 300 mtrs, contrary to the longbow could 180 at most.
"Yes, that"s right. When I woke up, I already have it, I don"t were the bow that the cyclops forget for me was" Said Artemis with a sad expression.
The bow that she was talking about was her silver bow, it was a bow that was fabricated by the hands of the cyclops in mount Leuco on Creta, when he was three years old. Her bow was a symbol of her power, in fact, in many places Artemis is also known as the Madam of the silver bow. For these reasons, Alfonso could understand why she seemed sad while remembering her bow.
"Don"t worry, I promise you that I will give that bow back to you, I don"t know how, thought" Said Alfonso.
Artemis stay quiet, but her expression seems to relax, just a little.
"Well, the reason why I was Asking you is that I want to give you a new bow, Is called the composite bow" After that Alfonso called the system "store, sure enough, that bow was there. The composite bow was popular in Asia, not so much on Europe so Alfonso was quite surprising to find it there. Alfonso originally thought that he will have to find someone who could make this kind of bow, however, a message appeared in his head, it was the system, with some good news.
[Brontes"s Composite Bow
Description: This bow is lighter than the longbow and the string stretches more so the distance that the archer can acquire is 300 mtrs, however, this bow is also more fragile than a longbow, so it isn"t suitable for wars, however, it"s a perfect bow for hunting!
Remarks: it includes 50 arrows.
Price: 300 Drachmas]
The heart of Alfonso bleed when he payout the 300 Drachmas.
"I am too poor" thought Alfonso.
After he buy the bow, a light appear in Alfonso"s hand and then the bow appear, following that , the arrows began to appear. Artemis was surprise to see this development, however, she knew that the thing that summoned her here was the same thing that was doing this. After 1 minute, the last arrow appears and then Alfonso pa.s.s the bow to Artemis, she studied it for quite something, after that, she made an unusual smile.
"I like it! Well done, Alfonso! You finally pay tribute that this G.o.ddess deserves! , as expected of my slave" Said Artemis while replacing the old bow and arrows with the new ones.
Alfonso forced a smile when he heard the word "slave" however, after seeming Artemis playing with the bow like a kid with a new toy, he relaxed and then sat down in his throne. When he thought about it, he pondered about something, the weapons that this town had, were mediocre, almost all the weapons in storage were so old that they could break at any moment, he thought about this before, however, there wasn"t time to forge that many weapons for the soldiers, however, it seems that the system could provide some aim. He opened the store and began to search for weapons that the soldiers could use, he found some, however, he didn"t have too many points to buy them, what took him for surprise was that the swords and s.h.i.+elds from a common soldier were 20 or something Drachmas, this was weird, why the metal swords and lances could cost less than a bow with was made of wood?
He Asked the system.
[The material used on these weapons are normal,, however, that bow was made by the cyclops Brontes, although this product was a failure for him, for a human archer, this bow could bring the best of their potential!, the wood that is used in this bow is a special type of wood that was grown in a fertile ground blessed by Demeter, so the bow is more flexible and more resistant that any ordinary composite bow] Said the robotic voice of the system.
Alfonso thought that it was reasonable, so he didn"t ask any further, after that he use the remaining 200 points in buying 15 lances and 15 s.h.i.+elds with 1 long sword for the captain he had money to buy one more thing, surprisingly, he bought something for himself. A cane, however, this cane wasn"t an ordinary one.
