In Graves's heart, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Alvin.
Not to mention anything else, just this listening skill wasn't something that an ordinary person could obtain through training. To achieve the effectiveness, it had to be a person with exceptional talent coupled with hard training and rich experience.
Moreover, this was only in theory. In reality, it was hard to say if such training could allow a person to acquire such an ability.
Therefore, at this moment, Graves's impression of Alvin was that of an unworldly expert who focused on practicing archery. Graves even felt a little regretful that he had not discovered Alvin earlier. It was only after his daughter brought him here that he found out there was such an expert.
"Tsk, tsk."
Alvin sighed in his heart. Although he knew that the bow would break very soon, he did not expect it to be so soon.
He could only attribute it to good luck.
He had deliberately harmed Jax and made him suffer for nothing.
But considering his current difficult situation, if he did not show some ability, he might be beaten up on the spot as a punishment for wasting their time.
"As expected of a master archer, you can even hear such things."
Graves sighed.
"It's a small matter."
Alvin answered very naturally.
It was like something that was very cheap but could not be sold. After the price increased by more than 10 times, it had become a hot item instead.
Goods had to be plated with gold, so Alvin, being a person, had to do the same.
Alvin had no way to turn back now. The moment Camilla said that he was a master archer, he already had no way to turn back. He could only brace himself and move on.
After all, if he was chased out of here, he would probably starve to death when he reached the city.
Therefore, Alvin could only sacrifice Jax to authenticate his identity.
"Boss, I broke your bow. I will compensate with a new one."
Jax thought it was his problem, so he apologized to the boss when he came back.
"It's okay, it's not your fault. Besides, that bow is your dedicated bow, and no one else here can draw it. If it's destroyed, so be it."
After hearing what Graves had said, Jax felt a little better.
Then, Graves added, "I should be the one to apologize. If I had listened to Alvin's suggestion earlier, I might have been able to avoid this matter."
"What?"
"This master archer, when you first drew your bow, he had already detected the problem of the bow through the sound. But I didn't take it seriously."
Hearing such an answer, Jax looked at Alvin with an incredulous expression.
At this moment, Alvin turned his face to the side. He looked very calm, but he was actually panicking to death.
"There's actually such a person? Oh, this is really an eye-opener!"
Jax sighed and patted Alvin's shoulder at the same time.
Alvin nodded slightly accepting the credit.
Then, Alvin still had one more thing to do.
After this round of operations, he no longer had to worry about his identity.
Even if he missed all of his targets, he could still cover it up with problems such as not being familiar with the bow, the weight of the arrow, and so on.
But before this, he had completely raised his status by more than one level through his prediction of the bow explosion.
Then, the question now was, what was the meaning of Camilla's wink?
Alvin felt that he had figured it out now.
Camilla winked at him at that time, most likely because she had something to drag him in to do.
And now, Alvin had already understood what it was.
It was to teach Graves a good lesson through the matter of the explosive bow.
At the same time, it meant Camilla was willing to hide the video of him dry firing the bow, or directly delete it.
Therefore, his prediction was just a simple deduction. Graves would not know about it for the time being.
Camilla felt that her father was always out for hunting and it was not sure if there were dangerous monsters out in the wilderness. Moreover, accidental injuries among the companions had happened.
They were not willing to use firearms for hunting, so they always wore plate armor when they went out.
Over time, the safety of Graves had become the top priority of the whole family.
That was why Camilla hated her father going out hunting. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't persuade him.
Now there was an opportunity. In front of her father, there was a shooting accident.
As a result, perhaps because of fear, Graves would reduce the number of times he went out hunting.
But as a biological daughter, Camilla also knew that no matter what she said, she would not be able to convince her father to give up this hobby.
But Alvin was different. Alvin was now regarded as a person who was very proficient in archery. Thus Graves might listen to what he said.
Alvin looked back and made eye contact with Camilla.
If Alvin's guess was correct, Camilla had intended to ask him to use the explosive bow to remind his father to be careful in the future. It was not that every time Graves drew the bow, the other party would die.
Therefore, Alvin cleared his throat. "Ahem, this kind of thing is not rare. In fact, it was probably more often than you are aware of. In the future, it's better to be more careful when drawing the bow. At the same time, it's not a big problem to play in a fixed place. If It's on the horse's back, it's so bumpy, and you don't know where the fragments will fly to. If the horse is startled, it might lose control."
Hearing what Alvin said, Graves felt that it was quite reasonable.
After all, this was an expert who could identify bows through sound. What he said about bows was definitely true.
As for the danger of an explosive bow, Graves had also seen it.
If he was unlucky, the fragments flying around might just hit the horse. If the horse was agitated, it would raise its hooves and throw a person off.
The Milan plate armor was very effective in preventing knives and swords, but it did not have a significant effect on injuries. With its weight, it might even worsen the injury.
Graves nodded and replied, "I will take note."
After hearing this, Alvin turned around and glanced at Camilla, meaning that his mission had been completed, and he had finished pretending.
Next, it was time to make a fool of himself.
Alvin took a deep breath and walked towards the archery range.
