"I want a bow, a very strong bow, do you know how I can have one?" Arthur directly asked about what he wanted, not wasting a single moment speaking nonsense with the boy.
And the boy was jolted awake by the realization that his legendary lord seemed quite satisfied by the kit he handed to him, as he came back asking for a bow.
"I have one that I made recently, it's one of the strongest bows I have ever witnessed, if not the strongest of all. But…"
The boy hesitated and Arthur just nodded for him to continue. "This bow needs a very strong man to exert its true potential. So I stored it away, do you want it my lord?"
"Go and bring it," Arthur simply replied without paying any attention to Agnus' hesitation.
Agnus then moved away, vanishing from his sight for a couple of minutes before returning carrying a really large bow.
The bow was in a W shape, very big that even exceeded Agnus's height while standing upright. The white wood pieces used were broad, had many carvings in black, while the string seemed quite thick and not flexible.
"Will this work?" Arthur gasped the moment he saw this bow, while holding it to feel its weight and difficulty in holding due to its length. "The strings are fine," Agnus simply replied.
"Strings?!!" Arthur exclaimed before he examined the thick looking string to find it was formed of many thin filament-like strings, made of the same material, grouped together to feel like they were one string.
"I made it so when using you can launch one arrow or a dozen arrows at the same time," Agnus just shrugged as what he did was that simple.
Arthur was amazed by it, and he greatly appreciated the bow. "Thanks again," he simply said before vanishing, appearing in a wide stretch of land.
"I need to test this bow first," he muttered as he took out normal arrows, selected a target, and aimed directly at it. "It's quite heavy," he experienced the full resistance of using all the strings in one go, but he decided to start off with the strongest power of it.
He clenched his muscles pulling the string back as far as he could, before releasing the arrow.
"Boom!"
It wasn't a mere shot, it was an explosive one! The arrow landed over the tree he selected, smashed it to pieces, continued moving towards a large rock behind and finally exploded there.
"Even the rock couldn't handle a normal arrow, interesting," Arthur smiled in content as he examined the rock to find a deep groove inside, with the arrow almost shattering it into two havles.
Arthur didn't hurry to leave, as he started to use his arrow manipulation talent, a talent he never used for such a long time making it quite rusty.
"I needed six hours to regain the old feeling back again, sigh I was careless not to hone my skills," he shook his head despite being able to fully control the dozen arrows he could launch simultaneously from the bow, he wasn't content with that.
He felt some difficulty in regaining back the feeling of using his talent, making him wonder about the other team members who had talents as well. "I need to make them start training on these talents, I depended on the academy for that but going for the academy will take longer than expected."
He then stored the bow, glanced over the area around him; it was all covered in ruins.
He selected a place where the garden purification didn't reach yet, so this damage didn't really annoy him, but he was thinking about another thing.
"I need to make normal arrows to use while fighting," he muttered before recalling Agnus. "That's the benefit of having a whole army of workers behind your back," he sneered before vanishing and heading directly to Agnus.
This time Agnus wasn't startled like the previous two times, he became more accustomed in dealing with Arthur. As for the others, well they still had a scare!
"I want arrows, all the arrows you can collect," Arthur stated his need without even saying a greeting, like he was meeting an old friend.
"Normal ones or special ones?"
Arhur was about to say normal, but he thought why didn't he have them all?
"Both," he replied, and the next hour the whole village here worked to transport arrows made and stored before to Arthur who gladly accepted and stored them inside his ring.
"Do you want us to make more?" Agnus asked, as he noticed how pleased his lord was.
"Sure, and if you can make special arrows as well then it will be great too," Arthur said, and when he noticed the strange look over Agnus face he added, "not like your special bow, I mean stronger versions of normal bows, can be widely produced, easily used, and cause great damage."
"Aha, this is a feasible task," Agnus' face brightened up when he heard Arthur's words, before striking his chest with his fist, "leave this to me."
"Good," Arthur simply nodded before taking his leave, disappearing from the place just like he appeared.
He had now arranged for everything, and the moment he opened his eyes in the star map, he asked the most essential question:
"How much time did I take?"
"Around half a day," Tina replied as she was feeling more bored than Sara, who just asked: "Have you finished your preparations?"
"Sure, let's go to the next star," he said with a faint smile over his face before adding, "the next battles will be really tough, so don't venture away from my sight and don't hold back anymore."
"Are we going to have fun? Finally!!" Tina was the happiest one here by this news, as for Sara she went silent, knowing that the next steps would be hard. "Should we play with care and use the monsters' plan?" she asked, trying to pry over his plans and real intentions.
"Just support me to the pillar and I will do everything from there," he simply replied without giving much details to this curious and keen tigress.
