Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 10: Annie Oakley

  Black Iron Weapons is indeed one of the most powerful shops on Gunpowder Street. This strength is not only reflected in the high-quality goods, but also in the service. After getting the check, Rick asked Lawrence a few words, and then asked another dwarf who looked younger to exchange the check.

   Ten minutes later the dwarf ran in with a small cloth bag. Lawrence took the bag and counted it, and found that it was indeed three transaction gold bars worth 300 yuan and 200 yuan banknotes in exchange for his request.

   After giving 61 yuan to Rick, the two newest lightning revolvers belonged to Lawrence. As soon as he confirmed that the pistol belonged to him, he took out the gun he had just fired from a box, and then directly filled the bullet in the store.

   "Little guy, I suggest you only use five shots, and then free the one that is facing the barrel." Dwarf Rick walked over with the gun license he guaranteed. This is a bonus for buying a gun. With this, you can carry the gun with you. Lawrence wouldn't be able to issue such a certificate if he hadn't come with Edward today.

   "Five shots?"

"Yes, it's five rounds." Rick nodded and handed the cardboard license to Lawrence, and then said, "I remember the last time someone bought a gun and filled it with all the bullets. I fell while going out. After the gun went off, half of his **** was blasted away."

   "Thank you for the reminder." Lawrence realized that the revolver in his hand was not insured at all, and it did need some insurance to carry it.

   After mixing two exorcism bullets and three ordinary bullets, Lawrence closed the vacant position facing the barrel of the barrel, and then put the pistol into the holster hanging on the left armpit. When all this was done, he felt that the mental arithmetic that had been hanging before was let go.

  When he saw Edward before, Lawrence's first reaction was that someone wanted to get this opportunity to show up at the upper level, so he attacked other possible competitors to eliminate these unfavorable factors.

   But after careful thinking, he realized that this attack should not be just for such an opportunity, because such an attack would lead to an investigation by the school whether it was successful or not.

  Especially the sentence Edward comforted himself just now reminds Lawrence that there are not no people or forces that can suppress the school investigation. But people who have the ability to mobilize such forces will have countless similar opportunities, and there is no need to attack other competitors for such an opportunity.

   Especially for a weak scholar like Lawrence before, there are many ways to prevent him from participating in this operation, and the deadly method of attacking the back of the head is obviously a bit too much.

  Because of these doubts, Lawrence suspects that the attack is not just as simple as it seems, and that is why his first reaction when he is rich is to prepare weapons for himself.

   After leaving the Dark Iron Weapons shop, Lawrence bid farewell to Edward at the corner of Gunpowder Street, and then walked back to the tavern belonging to Aunt Susan that he rented. The road was calm and there were no accidents.

   "Ah, our college students are back." When he walked into the tavern door, Aunt Susan, who was standing behind the bar, raised her head and said. "You are very lucky today, I just prepared some delicious food tonight."

Lawrence needs to pay 7 yuan and 50 cents a month to live in this place. Because the attic cannot be used for cooking, the price of breakfast and dinner was included in the rent when renting a house that year. Of course, if you ask for it in the same way as this morning If you have several copies, you still need to pay extra.

   "Oh, what do you have for dinner today?" Lawrence asked, the food provided by Aunt Susan is not very good, but it can be clean and hygienic and large in quantity. Especially here as a pub that provides light meals to the surroundings, there are often some surprises in the dishes. This is why he chose to let the pub serve meals.

"Fresh chicken and onion pie with grilled asparagus." Aunt Susan said happily. "It happened that a farmer from a nearby farm came to town to process a batch of laying hens, so I bought a lot of them while they were cheap. The meat is a bit older, but after being cut and minced, it tastes no different from fresh chicken."

   "Thank you, this sounds great!" Lawrence smiled and nodded, "I have something to do now, please call me when the meal is over."

   After saying that Lawrence returned to his room along the wooden stairs and locked the door. After making sure that there was nothing in the house, he took out three gold bars from his carrying pocket.

"The market price of the button given by the adoptive father was about 100 to 150 yuan, and it turned out to be a very practical talent. UU reading www.uukanshu.com this time I want to see if I can get it with a gold bar worth 300 yuan. What." Lawrence took off his jacket and sat on the chair and thought, after which he summoned the phantom of the mirror.

   The phantom of the mirror appeared before and after Lawrence’s chest, probably because it had absorbed a part of the energy before, and the mirror was further activated. He felt more information from the mirror:

   This mirror is not picky, but he will only absorb the wealth that belongs to Lawrence himself. Moreover, it adheres to the principle of equivalent exchange, but it should be noted that unless it is a one-time absorption of the wealth of the standard gold bar worth 100 yuan, the cross-world communication will not be activated.

   "Thank God, I added that button last time. Otherwise, my seven-dollar silver coin would not be spent in vain." Lawrence felt an inexplicable aftermath after seeing this.

   After receiving the information and thinking a little bit, Lawrence chose to stud directly. Because he feels that a powerful skill is more valuable to him than three general skills.

Under his control, golden light shot from the mirror surface and enveloped the three gold bars. Three white mists, which were much stronger than the last silver coin, flew out from the gold bars and were brought into the mirror by the golden light. The shadows disappeared together. As the white mist left, the three gold bars also turned into lead bars.

   As soon as he put the lead block on the table, Lawrence entered the wood-built space. After raising his head, he found that there were four black flowers about to bloom on the tree as last time.

   Lawrence glanced at the four flowers and then lowered his head to stare at the mirror with expectant eyes. In his sight, a petite young woman emerged from the gray mist in the mirror. At the same time, a name emerged from the gray mist on the mirror: Annie Oakley.
