Chapter 192: The Fundamentals of Archery (2)
The object on the first table was a set of rods of various sizes and lengths. At first glance, it was hard to tell what they were for, but Keter and Taragon, both archers, immediately recognized them.
“Are these... bow and arrows?”
The thicker rod looked like a bow with its limbs folded inward, and the thinner, longer rod had a sharp point at the bottom and feathers at the top.
Taragon’s eyes sparkled as he reached for what appeared to be the bow, but Volkanus smacked his hand.
“Hey! Didn’t I tell you not to touch anything?”
“Ow! I mean, it’s not like it’s going to break if I touch it!”
“Just look. I think you’re going to curse them if you touch them.”
“You always pick on me...”
As Taragon grumbled and stepped back, Volkanus cleared his throat and picked up the folded bow.
“Anyone with eyes can see this is a bow. But unlike traditional bows, this one is far more portable. It doesn’t just fold—there’s a groove in the center so the limbs tuck in perfectly. Here, compare it to a regular bow and you’ll see the size difference clearly.”
Volkanus placed a standard bow next to it for comparison. The size difference was nearly double.
“You could carry this inside your coat.”
