Struggle in the Steam Age

Black Iron Weapon 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 much younger to cash the check.

Ten minutes later, the dwarf ran in from outside with a small cloth bag. Lawrence took the bag and checked it, and found that it was indeed three transaction gold bars worth 300 yuan and banknotes of 200 yuan exchanged according to his request.

After handing over the 61 yuan to Rick, the two latest lightning revolvers belonged to Lawrence. Immediately after confirming that the pistol belonged to him, he took out the gun he tested just now from a box, and then loaded the bullets directly in the shop.

"Little guy, I suggest that you'd better only load five rounds, and leave the one facing the barrel empty." Dwarf Rick walked over with the gun license he guaranteed. This is a bonus when you buy a gun. With this, you can carry a gun with you. Lawrence would not have been able to issue such a certificate if he hadn't come here with Edward today.

"Five hairs?"

"Yes, it's five rounds." Rick nodded and handed the cardboard license to Lawrence, and then said, "I remember that last time someone bought a gun and filled all the bullets. He fell when he was going out. The gun went off and took half of his ass off."

"Thank you for the reminder." At this moment, Lawrence realized that the revolver in his hand had no insurance at all, and he really needed some insurance means to carry it with ammunition.

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

When he saw Edward before, Lawrence's first reaction was that someone hoped to get this opportunity to show his face at the top, so he attacked other possible competitors to eliminate these unfavorable factors for him.

But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this attack should not be just to grab such an opportunity, because such an attack would lead to an investigation by the school no matter whether it was successful or not.

Especially the words that Edward comforted himself just now reminded Lawrence that there are not no people or forces who can suppress the school's investigation. But those who have the ability to mobilize such power 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 suspected that the attack was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, which was why his first reaction when he got rich was to prepare weapons for himself.

After leaving the shop of Black Iron Weapons, Lawrence bid farewell to Edward at the intersection of Gunpowder Street, and then walked back to the tavern that he rented and belonged to Aunt Susan. The journey was uneventful and there were no accidents.

"Ah, our college students are back." When he walked into the door of the tavern, Aunt Susan, who was sewing clothes behind the bar, looked up and said. "You are so 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 there is no fire and cooking in the attic, the price of breakfast and dinner was included in the rent when renting the house. If you have more than one, you will need to pay extra.

"Oh, what's for dinner today?" Lawrence asked. The food provided by Aunt Susan is not very good, but it is clean and hygienic and has a large amount. Especially as a tavern that provides light meals for the surroundings, there are often some surprises on the dishes. That's why he chose to let the tavern cover the meal.

"Fresh onion chicken pie with grilled asparagus." Aunt Susan said happily. "Today, a farmer from a nearby farm just came into town to deal with a batch of laying hens that didn't lay eggs, so I bought a lot of them while it was cheap. Although they The meat is a bit older, but the taste is no different from that of fresh chicken after being cut and minced."

"Thank you, this sounds great!" Lawrence nodded with a smile, "I have something to do now, please call me when dinner is ready."

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

"The market price of the button given by my adoptive father was around 100 to 150 yuan, and it turned out to be a very practical talent. This time I want to see what I can get if I exchange a gold bar worth 300 yuan." Lawrence took off his coat Sitting in a chair, he thought, and then he summoned the phantom of the mirror.

The phantom of the mirror appeared on the front and back of Lawrence's chest, probably because he had absorbed some energy before, and the mirror was further activated, and he felt more information from the mirror:

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

"Thank goodness, I added that button last time. Otherwise, my seven yuan silver coin would not have been wasted." Lawrence felt an inexplicable sense of survival after seeing this.

After receiving this information and thinking about it a bit, Lawrence chose direct stud. Because he felt that one powerful skill was more valuable to him now than three average skills.

Under his control, golden light shot out from the mirror and covered the three gold bars, and three white mist, which was far thicker than the silver coins last time, flew out of the gold bars and was brought into the mirror by the golden light to meet the void of the mirror. The shadows disappeared together. With the departure of the white mist, the three gold bars also turned into lumps of lead.

As soon as he put the lead block on the table, Lawrence entered the building wood space. When he looked up, he found that there were four black flowers on the tree just like last time, just about to bloom.

Lawrence glanced at the four flowers, then lowered his head and stared expectantly at the mirror. In his line of 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: Anne Oakley.
