Chapter 629: Dutch attacks Funina?

Next, Shao Yun gave Ying and Clorinde special training in the subject of drawing guns and shooting from the hip.

As the sun gradually set, after a period of high-intensity training, Shao Yun saw that they had trained long enough, so he clapped his hands and signaled to the two that they could take a break.

"Okay, let's stop and rest for a while. Everyone move your wrists and relax your muscles." Shao Yun said.

Hearing that the training had finally come to an end, Yingru breathed a sigh of relief.

She rubbed her wrist, which had become numb from holding the gun for a long time and enduring the recoil of the gun, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"Hmm, why do we feel like we are not training at all? It feels like we are on a target shooting holiday!"

Clorinde was still not satisfied. She looked at the rifle in her hand and said, "Mr. Shao Yun must have his reasons for doing this. I feel it does have some effect. I haven't used a rifle like this for a long time."

She paused for a moment, then added: "Also, I feel like my speed in drawing the gun has gotten faster and faster, about 0.1 seconds faster than before."

When Ying heard Clorinde say 0.1 seconds, she asked in confusion, "0.1 seconds, is this a big improvement?"

Clorinde nodded seriously and replied, "Very big! Even a difference of 0.1 seconds could determine the outcome! I feel that the gap between me and Shao Yun is shrinking!"

Ying nodded as if she understood, and said, "Okay, progress is a good thing."

At this time, Clorinde cast her eyes towards the two weapons in Ying's hands. She felt that they looked strangely familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

But I just can't remember where I've seen it...

So, she asked curiously: "Actually, I have always had a question, where did you get this kind of gunpowder? I have never seen it before."

Seeing that Clorinde was curious about the gold and silver revolvers in her hands, Ying answered without reservation: "This was given to me by Shao Yun. I don't know. What about yours?"

Clorinde quickly took out her unique special rifle and introduced it.

"The rifle in my hand was specially ordered from the Beaumont Workshop. It is a bold and innovative break-type rifle. Compared with those common muzzle-loading rifles, its biggest advantage is the fast loading speed!"

"Not only that, using elemental forces to stimulate projectiles, the power cannot be underestimated!"

As she said this, Clorinde demonstrated to Ying how to load the bullet.

Then, she paused for a moment, and then continued, "However, although this rifle is powerful, you have to reload the ammunition after each shot, just like this..."

A purple light flashed from the Eye of God at Clorinde's collar, and the bullets in the gun barrel shot into the sea accompanied by lightning, making crackling sounds.

"Every time I shoot, I have to reload. So overall, the efficiency is still a bit low..."

"However, in order to achieve this level, Estelai of Beaumont Workshop revised the blueprint countless times."

As the conversation got to this point, Clorinde gritted her teeth and asked even though she knew that the next request was a bit excessive and even unlikely to be fulfilled.

"By the way, I have a rather presumptuous question for you. Could you please talk to Mr. Shao Yun and see if he is willing to help me get a gun similar to the one in your hand? I can pay for it..."

"Of course, if it's really inconvenient, forget it. I'm just asking casually..." After saying that, Clorinde looked at Ying embarrassedly, waiting for the other party's response.

Seeing that Clorinde was interested in the weapon in his hand, Ying shook his head helplessly and advised: "I suggest Clorinde, don't have this idea..."

Hearing this, Clorinde was already prepared.

After all, it was not easy to get Shao Yun's guidance, so you should be satisfied. It would be a bit too much to ask him for weapons.

Thinking of this, Clorinde said self-deprecatingly: "That's right, what am I thinking about..."

In order to ease the atmosphere, Ying asked for something to talk about: "Calling to mind, Clorinde, when Paimon and I were reading the Steam Bird News, we happened to see a passage that Charlotte said."

"She said that many people have been defeated by your sword, so why not by your gun?"

Upon hearing this, Clorinde immediately explained: "Perhaps it's because I've always pestered Shao Yun to teach me how to use a spear, so everyone has this misconception. But in fact, I prefer to use a one-handed sword instead of a gunlance."

When Ying heard that Clorinde didn't use the rifle very often, she asked in disbelief, "Ah? Clorinde, do you mean that you rarely use the rifle?"

Clorinde explained why she was not used to using a rifle.

"The swordsmanship my master taught me is based on the swordsmanship used by the Shadow Hunters. In addition, in the duel arena, most people would choose to compete with me in swordsmanship, which led to me being more accustomed to using the sword. For me, the gunpowder is just the icing on the cake."

Having said this, Clorinde paused for a moment, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and continued: "Of course, the most important point is that the gunpowder is still very troublesome to use."

"Besides Shao Yun, there is also that guy named Daqi. I can guarantee that I can subdue the opponent before he opens fire, or dodge the first bullet fired by the opponent and then subdue him."

Hearing Clorinde being so confident in her swordsmanship, Ying suddenly became curious and asked, "Clorinde, are you very good at swordsmanship?"

Clorinde recalled her career as a duel agent in her mind and responded modestly: "Well... I dare not jump to conclusions, but I think I am one of the most powerful duel agents among many."

As soon as Clorinde finished speaking, Ying rubbed her hands and suggested eagerly: "In that case, Clorinde, how about we have a sword fight?"

Seeing that Ying was eager to learn swordsmanship from her, Clorinde readily agreed.

She quickly put away the rifle in her hand, and then swung her hand, and the one-handed sword "Absolution" that was flashing with a cold light appeared in her hand.

"Of course. Please teach me!" Clorinde was ready for the battle.

……

Ying found a corner, changed her Gunner Girl suit into her own white "Rising Star" dress, and then competed with Clorinde.

Then, she casually swung her hand, and an ordinary bladeless sword appeared in her hand.

The two stood facing each other, and when their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly.

With Ying's light shout, this wonderful sword-fighting competition officially began.

For a moment, sword lights crossed and sword shadows flew everywhere, and the two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in.

……

After a fierce battle, this simple competition finally came to an end.

The final result was a tie, with both players winning and losing, and neither of them gaining a clear advantage.

As soon as the competition ended, Paimeng, who had been watching the game nearby, flew over in a hurry, holding a clean towel in his hand and wiped the sweat off Ying's forehead.

Ying spoke highly of his swordsmanship.

"Well, I have to say, Clorinde, your swordsmanship is really amazing! In the 12th round, my weapon was almost knocked away by your sword!"

Hearing Ying's praise, Clorinde first took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Then, she responded in an appreciative tone: "You are also very good, especially your strength is very strong, and your steps when attacking are steady and solid."

"To be honest, when I first saw you wearing this slightly loose skirt, I was worried whether it would affect your sword-wielding movements. Unexpectedly, these worries were completely unnecessary."

After receiving Clorinde's affirmation, Ying said happily: "Hehe, thank you for the compliment."

Shao Yun, who was standing aside, quietly watched the two of them taking advantage of the short break to enthusiastically practice swordsmanship.

He couldn't help but shake his head slightly, revealing a helpless expression, and said speechlessly: "You two are really energetic. You just finished practicing with your spears, and you still have the leisure to practice swords here during your break."

Hearing Shao Yun's words, Ying playfully stuck out her pink tongue at him and responded, "Hehe, it's always good to learn more! It's always good to have more skills!"

After hearing what Ying said, Shao Yun nodded in agreement.

"Well, being studious is indeed a good thing that deserves praise..."

……

The break was over. Just as Shao Yun was about to take Ying and Clorinde to continue practicing their marksmanship, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Navia running towards them in a hurry.

Her long golden hair fluttered in the wind behind her as she ran, and shone brightly under the sun.

Navia ran over and shouted loudly.

"Hey! Why are you guys... here? It's... hard for me to find you!"

Seeing Navia in such a hurry, Clorinde hurried forward and asked with concern: "Navia, what's wrong? You are running so anxiously, what happened?"

Navia ran in front of everyone, bent down, supported her knees with her hands, and gasped for breath.

"Over at Mo Mang Palace... Shao Yun and Clorinde... have something urgent to discuss with you!"

When Shao Yun heard that someone actually wanted to see him for something, he immediately started joking.

"What? Is it that Funina wants to tear down the Momang Palace, and Villette can't stop her?"

Navia replied breathlessly, shaking her head: "Oh, no! Let me take a breath first... huh... huh..."

Seeing Navia gasping for breath, Shao Yun asked jokingly, "Did Dutch van der Linde threaten her again? And then he whipped her butt with a whip like a trainer. Let's see how he tames Funina like he tames a lion?"

When I heard Shao Yun talking nonsense about Dutch van der Linde taming Funina like a lion.

Ying and Paimon, who were standing nearby, couldn't help themselves and almost at the same time they covered their mouths and giggled out loud.

Clorinde almost couldn't hold it in, and her expression looked a little strange.

Navia took two deep breaths and then said, "I have never heard that he spanked Lady Funina in the street; but he shot an arrow towards Funina's room with a threatening letter attached to it."

Clorinde, who had been listening nearby, suddenly changed her expression when she heard that someone dared to openly attack the Momang Palace, and asked, "Is Lady Funina injured?"

Navia shook her head and explained to everyone, "No, it's just that Lady Funina was frightened. Mo Mang Palace has urgently entrusted us to help find Shao Yun and you, claiming that there is something extremely urgent!"

When Clorinde heard that Fernina was frightened, her heart tightened.

As the Water God's Guardian, she immediately said to Shao Yun, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shao Yun. Lady Funina's current condition is unclear, and I'm really worried. Let's go back and take a look."

"So, today's study can only be suspended temporarily. I hope you can forgive me. Thank you very much for your teaching. Let's find a suitable time to continue practicing another day."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to rush to Mo Mang Palace first.

At this moment, Paimon saw the situation and hurried forward to stop Clorinde.

"Hey, wait! Don't be so anxious!"

After stopping Clorinde, Paimeng quickly flew to Shao Yun again, lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Shao Yun, do you think we should go to Mo Mang Palace to take a look?"

"I heard from Navia that Funina is fine, she was just frightened. With Violet here, there's no need for us to go."

If it were something else, Shao Yun would never go even if he died, but this time it was different.

I was the one pretending to be Dutch van der Linde at first, but where did this Dutch van der Linde who attacked the Mo Mang Palace come from? It must be fake!

Someone was impersonating Dachi's name. As for who it was, Shao Yun had already made a preliminary guess. It was most likely done by Alechino! She was the only one who had the guts to do that.

Besides, her reasons were sufficient, which was to create a sense of urgency and force Funina to facilitate some cooperation!

"Let's go and take a look. I want to see what this 'Dutch van der Linde' is all about!" Shao Yun said without thinking.
