Chapter 314 Mischief
"What? A broken hunting rifle actually costs 200,000 pounds! Am I crazy, or are you crazy!"
When Edmund spoke of the price of Peter Hofer's shotgun with a flaunt, Eddie, who was originally addicted to the colorful jewelry, looked at Arthur and the others with idiot eyes, screaming in fuss.
"Tsk, what do you know!" Before Arthur could speak, Edmund gently stroked the gun with his hand and used the wrong gold to express the background, like a relief from the forest in the setting sun. He glanced at Eddie with disdain, and said while skillfully starting to assemble the hunting rifle.
"Every gun of Peter Hofer is unique, with different engraving patterns and production craftsmanship. It has a strong German style, extremely precise parts processing technology, and high shooting degree, which makes people feel the rigor and meticulousness of Germany.
The prototype of the fourth shotgun fired by this gun is to use 25 grams of black gunpowder as the launching medicine, and the single-headed projectile weighs 200 grams. According to the information I have read before, after Peter Hofer's optimization, nitro-launched medicine was used, and the warhead was reduced to 130 grams.
And this kind of bullet was originally hunting large animals such as elephants and rhinos, and it could be fatal to one shot. Tsk tsk... It's so heavy."
Edmund quickly assembled easily and skillfully, picked up the gun and gestured to the side, feeling the weight of the gun, showing surprise and surprise to his weight.
"Haha, this hunting rifle weighs 15 kilograms, and it is obvious that ordinary people are not lucky enough to endure it. Of course, including its price..." Arthur introduced with a smile when he saw Edmund's happy appearance.
Of course, what Arthur didn't say was that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. Because the purpose of Peter Hofer founding this company was to provide top customers with the most perfect luxury shotgun. What's most special is that Peter Hofer does not cooperate with anyone or company. All parts are processed by themselves, and the annual output is only single digits.
Even if it is customized, it takes a long time to wait. This time, Arthur bought it from Peter Hofer Hunting Company through an acquaintance, and bought three at once, two of them were the No. 4 parallel double-barrel hunting rifles known as the giant, and the other was the very small Hummingbird hunting rifle, which was prepared for him.
"Don't you open the gift we give you now to take a look?" Eddie closed the jewelry box, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked at Arthur.
Putting down the shotgun she was holding, Edmund also looked at Arthur. Arthur smiled and nodded and said, "Of course we have to open it."
As he said that, Arthur took the Christmas gift box that Eddie gave him first, and said with a smile: "When I took it, I felt a little weight."
"Thorny"
Tear the wrapping paper and reveal a cube wooden box inside, which made Arthur's eyes lit up slightly. He glanced at Eddie with a smug smile on his face and opened the wooden box. The things inside were covered with white silk. He lifted up the silk, a round bronze tripod covered with three lying auspicious beasts, all with plum blossom-like patterns.
"nice one!"
Hearing Arthur's praise, watching him carefully take out the bronze tripod and look carefully, Eddie was very proud and said happily: "The boss in the antique shop said that this is a bronze tripod from the Heavenly Kingdom, four hundred to two hundred years ago, and the name is the plum blossom sleeping beast tripod. Do you like it?"
"Haha, of course, I like it very much. Thank you, Eddie, this is really a surprise. Is the Warring States tripod? The surface is so shiny, this is waxed...the casting process at the bottom..."
Arthur couldn't put it down and began to check the bronze cauldron over and over, and compared it based on his few bronze identification knowledge. After looking for a while, he put the lid on. Arthur looked at Eddie and asked, "How much did he buy it?"
Eddie gave Arthur a angrily glance, "Just like it, what do you care about how much it costs!"
"Ahem, am I going to tell whether it is true or false or valuable?" Arthur also knew that his question was a bit annoying, but he still asked.
"I won't tell you, don't worry, after I bought it, I've found an expert to identify it. It's undoubtedly the authentic one." Eddie snorted a little arrogantly.
"Haha, that's fine. I like it very much. Thank you for your Christmas gift." Arthur really liked this bronze tripod very much and smiled happily.
"Look at my gifts, I believe you will also like them very much..." Seeing what Arthur said to Eddie, he liked these antiques very much, and Edmund was full of confidence in the gifts he gave.
"Haha, OK"
Arthur tore open the wrapping paper, and a small box as big as a palm appeared in his hand. While looking at Edmund, he opened the box, "As such a small box, you won't fool me..."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish his words, Arthur saw the thing in the box, his eyes widened, his face changed drastically, and his hands shook, and the box fell on the carpet. Something he would never forget in his dream fell on the carpet.
This scene also changed Edmund's face slightly, and his face showed a look of suspicion and embarrassment. Eddie asked in an unknown way: "Arthur, what's wrong with you? Is there any problem?"
"call"
Arthur's face changed violently, and hesitated to pick up the nightmare-like silver cross that fell on the floor.
"What's the point of losing yourself even if you make money in the whole world?"
Familiar words, familiar memory’s, Birmingham Seal, Arthur’s eyes were full of uneasy and panic. He looked at the cross in his hand, raised his head and looked at the same complexity. Therefore, Edmund, who was at a loss by Arthur’s series of changes, asked: “Edmund, tell me, how did you get this thing?”
"I... this is going to visit the antique street with Eddie. I bought it at the flea market. I heard Eddie say you like these antiques very much now, so I bought this thing. The owner of the stall told me that this was passed down by their family and has a history of more than a hundred years. Is there anything wrong with this cross?" Edmund looked at Arthur with a complicated expression and asked carefully.
"Haha..." Arthur had a very strange smile on his face, and he chuckled, pinching the chain of the cross, watching the cross shaking in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice: "If I said, I had it, do you believe it?"
Eddie and Edmund looked at each other, looked at Arthur with a weird expression, and shook their heads in disbelief.
"Haha, really, I once had a dream. It was the same as the cross I had in my dream. It was the same sentence..."
Listening to Arthur's strange tone and words, Eddie and Edmund couldn't help but feel creepy, looking at Arthur with wide eyes, not knowing what to say, and also looked at the shaking cross with inexplicable eyes.
"This is amazing..."
"Shouldn't it be weird..."
"Puff"
"Hahaha, look, you scared you, you really believe it, haha..." When the atmosphere on the scene became more and more strange, Arthur suddenly burst into laughter.
After a sudden change, looking at Arthur who was laughing, Eddie and Edmund, who were already making him feel angry by the strange incident, realized that they had been tricked by Arthur. They were so angry that they were angry. They looked at each other and saw anger in each other's eyes. They jumped up at Arthur at the same time.
"Eddie, go get the rope, I'll press him, go..."
After some fight, Arthur was pressed on the carpet by Edmund, while Eddie ran and found a bundle of ropes from somewhere. The two of them tied Arthur into rice dumplings together.
"Haha, I'm just kidding, adjust the atmosphere, oh, don't make a fuss, let me go..."
Arthur was dragged under the Christmas tree by Edmund, and Eddie tied him to the tree with another rope. Arthur smiled and begged for forgiveness.
"You bastard..." Thinking of his frightened look, Eddie was really angry and embarrassed. He picked up a quill from the side and said to Edmund: "Take off his shoes and socks. Don't you like to see us embarrass you? Do you like to laugh? I'll make you laugh enough. Edmund, you take a picture with your phone..."
"No, don't, Eddie, don't make a fuss, I was wrong, hahaha..." Arthur saw Eddie with a smirk and kept struggling with both sides, and his face changed drastically, but how could Eddie let him go?
