"What? a broken shotgun, it costs 200,000 pounds! am I crazy, or are you crazy!"

When Edmund talked about the price of Peter Hofer's shotgun with a boastful face, Eddie, who was still obsessed with the dazzling colors of jewelry, looked directly at Arthur and the others with idiot eyes, and screamed in fuss.

"Cut, you know what!" Arthur had not yet spoken, and Edmund stroked the gold on the gun with his hand to express the undertone, like a relief of a forest in the setting sun. Glancing at Eddie with disdain, he said as he expertly began assembling the shotgun.

"Each of Peter Hofer's guns is unique, with different carvings and craftsmanship. WITH A STRONG GERMAN STYLE, EXTREMELY PRECISE PARTS PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY, AND A HIGH DEGREE OF SHOOTING, YOU CAN MAKE PEOPLE FEEL THE RIGOR AND METICULOUSNESS OF GERMANY.

This gun, the prototype of the No. 4 shotgun fired was a 25-gram black powder as a propellant, and the single-headed projectile weighed 200 grams. According to the information I have seen before, after the optimization of Peter Hofer, a nitro propellant was adopted, and the warhead was also reduced to 130 grams.

And this kind of bullet was originally used to hunt large animals such as elephants and rhinos, and it can be fatal with one shot. Gee... It's so heavy. ”

Edmund quickly assembled it easily and skillfully, picked up the gun and gestured to the side, feeling the weight of the gun, and feeling its weight with surprise and surprise.

"Hehe, this shotgun weighs 15 kilograms, and it is obvious that ordinary people are not blessed at all. Including its price, of course... Arthur smiled when he saw Edmund's happy face.

Of course, what Arthur didn't say was that money might not be able to buy it. Because Peter Hofer founded this company with the aim of providing the most perfect luxury shotguns to top customers. The most special thing is that Peter Hofer does not cooperate with anyone or company, all the parts are machined in-house, and the annual production volume is only in the single digits.

Even if it is customized, it will take a long time, and this time, Arthur bought it from Peter Hofer Hunting Company through an acquaintance, and he bought three at once, two of which were the No. 4 side-by-side double-barreled shotgun known as the Big Mac, and the other was a very small Hummingbird shotgun, which was prepared for himself.

"Won't you open our gift for you now?" Eddie asked, closing the jewelry box and raising an eyebrow slightly.

Putting down the shotgun he was holding, Edmund also looked at Arthur, who smiled and nodded, "Of course you have to open it." ”

As he spoke, Arthur took the Christmas gift box that Eddie had given him, and said with a smile, "When I took it before, it felt a little heavy. ”

"Thorn-"

Tear open the wrapping paper, revealing a cube-shaped wooden box inside, which made Arthur's eyes light up slightly, glanced at Eddie with a smug smile on his face, opened the wooden box, the contents were covered with white silk, lifted the silk, a round bronze tripod, covered with three lying beasts, with plum blossom-like ornaments all over.

"Good stuff!"

Hearing Arthur's admiration, watching him carefully take out the bronze tripod and look at it carefully, Eddie was very proud and said happily: "The owner of the antique shop said that this is a bronze tripod from the Celestial Empire, 400 to 200 years ago BC, the name is the Plum Blossom Crouching Beast Ding, do you like it?"

"Hehe, of course, I like it very much, thank you, Eddie, this is really a surprise, is it a Warring States Ding? The surface is so shiny, this is waxed... The casting process at the bottom... ”

Arthur couldn't put it down, and began to look at it over and over again with the bronze tripod, comparing it according to his little knowledge of bronze identification, and after looking at it for a while, closing the lid, Arthur looked at Eddie and asked, "How much did you buy it?"

Eddie gave Arthur an angry look, "You can do it if you like it, what do you care about how much money you do!"

"Ahem, didn't I try to discern its authenticity and value?" 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 found an expert to identify it, and there is no doubt that it is genuine. Eddie snorted a little arrogantly.

"Hehe, that's fine, I love it, thank you for the Christmas gift. Arthur really liked this bronze tripod very much, and smiled happily.

"Quick, look at my gift, I'm sure you'll like it very much... Seeing that Arthur really liked these antiques as Eddie said, Edmund was also full of confidence in the gifts he gave.

"Hehe, okay—"

Arthur tore open the wrapper, and a small box the size of a palm appeared in his hand, and while looking at Edmund and said, he opened the box, "Such a small box, you won't fool me... ”

"Smack!"

Before he finished speaking, Arthur saw the contents of the box, his eyes widened, his face changed greatly, and with a shake of his hand, the box fell onto the carpet, something that he would never forget in his dreams.

And this scene made Edmund's face change slightly, his face showed a suspicious and embarrassed expression, and Eddie asked even more inexplicably: "Arthur, what's wrong with you?

"Whew-"

Arthur's face changed violently, he took a deep breath, squeezed out an incomprehensible smile on his face, shook his head, his fingers trembled slightly, and hesitantly reached out to pick up the nightmarish silver cross that had fallen on the floor.

"Even if you earn the whole world, what's the point of losing yourself. ”

Familiar words, familiar inscriptions's, Birmingham seals, Arthur's eyes were full of apprehension and panic, he looked at the cross in his hand, raised his head and looked at the same unknown with some complicated eyes, Edmund, who was overwhelmed by Arthur's series of changes, asked: "Edmund, tell me, how did you get this thing?"

"I... This, this is with Eddie to go shopping in the antique street, I bought it at the flea market, I heard Eddie say that you like these antiques very much now, so you bought this thing, the owner of the stall told me, this is their family heirloom, more than a hundred years old, is there anything wrong with this cross?" Edmund looked at Arthur with a complicated expression, and asked cautiously.

"Hehe... With a very strange smile on his face, Arthur chuckled, pinched the chain of the cross, watched the cross shake in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice, "If I say that I once owned it, would you believe it?"

Eddie and Edmund looked at each other, looked at Arthur with a strange expression, and shook their heads in disbelief.

"Oh, really, I once had a dream that it was the same as the cross I had in the dream, the same sentence... ”

Listening to Arthur's strange tone and words, Eddie and Edmund couldn't help but feel a little creepy, and looked at Arthur with wide eyes, not knowing what to say, and also looked at the shaking cross with inexplicable eyes.

"It's amazing... ”

"Isn't it supposed to be weird... ”

"Poof—"

"Hahaha, look at what scared you, you really believed it, haha... When the atmosphere became more and more eerie, Arthur suddenly burst out laughing.

The sudden change, looking at Arthur who was laughing, Eddie and Edmund, who were still furious by the strange events, knew that they had been tricked by Arthur, and they were angry and angry, they glanced at each other, and they both saw anger in each other's eyes, and they all jumped up and pounced on Arthur.

"Eddie, you go get the rope, I'll press him, go quickly... ”

After a fight, Arthur was pressed against the carpet by Edmund, while Eddie ran fast and found a bundle of rope from nowhere, and the two tied Arthur into a rice dumpling together.

"Haha, I'm just joking, adjust the atmosphere, oops, don't make trouble, let go of me... ”

Arthur is dragged under the Christmas tree by Edmund, and Eddie takes another bundle of rope and ties him to the tree, Arthur laughs and says goodbye.

"You bastard ... Thinking of his frightened appearance, Eddie was really a little annoyed, picked up a quill from the side, and said to Edmund: "Take off his shoes and socks, don't you like to watch us mess up, do you like to laugh, I'll make you laugh enough, Edmond, you take a picture with your phone... ”

"Don't, don't, Eddie, don't make a fuss, I was wrong, hahaha... Arthur saw Eddie with a wicked smile on his face, constantly struggling with his eyes, and begging for mercy with a big change in his face, but how could Eddie let him go.
