Rawls sat at the oak table, opened the drawer, and found two revolvers lying quietly inside.
One gun was completely jet black, with a slightly long barrel. The gun body and handle were made of metal, glowing with a cold sheen.
The other revolver looks better. There is even a layer of fine velvet underneath, a gold-plated brass barrel, and three bullet chambers engraved with a sunflower pattern. The wooden handle is engraved with
Bird pattern, the bird's head is close to the bullet nest, and the gorgeous tail feathers bloom at the end of the gun handle. (Pictured)
Both revolvers were recently purchased by Rawls. The one with a slightly longer black barrel was bought by him three days ago at the Extraordinary Party introduced by his "uncle" Ken List at the Anchor Bar.
Got it.
Three days ago, when Rawls attended the gathering of extraordinary people, he found that, including him, there were only seven people in the entire party. Moreover, the host of the party warned him that at this party, once the transaction is over, no matter whether the thing purchased is real or fake,
Neither can regret it.
After listening to what the host said, Rawls decided that he would never come to this party again. Even the items being traded could not be guaranteed to be authentic. As a "newbie", he would only be cheated if he came in.
After the party, he only bought a revolver. According to the original owner, this revolver was twice as powerful as an ordinary revolver. Rawls, who had no attack ability and no gun license, simply bought it and spent a lot of money on it.
It costs 15 pounds and comes with 30 rounds of ammunition.
He secretly tried this revolver. It was indeed more powerful than the revolver at the Krag Club shooting training range, but the recoil was also very strong. After firing 12 rounds, Rolls' wrist showed signs of soreness.
The other revolver was bought yesterday when he participated in a charity auction. The owner who donated it was a rich man from Intis. According to the rich man, this gorgeous and luxurious revolver was left behind by his grandfather.
, and can also be fired.
When Rawls saw the pattern on the revolver's cylinder and handle, he immediately thought of the "Singer" pathway. In this pathway, sunflowers and birds often appear in potion recipes, and this revolver comes from
Intis.
Since the founding of Intis, the Church of the Eternal Burning Sun has occupied the mainstream, suppressing the Church of the God of Artisans until the other party changed its name to the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. Therefore, this country is also known as the Kingdom of the Sun.
And looking at the rich old man's appearance, his grandfather would have been over 130 years old if he had been alive. At that time, the revolver had just been invented not long ago.
Although Rawls did not think it was an extraordinary weapon, he still paid 270 pounds to take a picture of it.
After I got it, I discovered that although this revolver could indeed be fired as the rich man said, its bullets were specially made and there were only ten bullets. As for the existing bullets, they could not be loaded into the bullet chamber.
After trying two shots, Rawls put it in a drawer and kept it as a collection.
Take out the revolver, throw out the runner, eject the bullets from the cylinder one by one, and then load the bullets skillfully. After repeating several times, put the loaded runner into the drawer.
Recently, he spends an hour every day practicing shooting. His marksmanship has improved very little, but his reloading speed has become extremely fast.
After closing the drawer, Rolls opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, when a burst of noise reached his ears.
Morris, the valet standing outside the bedroom, came up to him. He was tall, slightly dark-skinned, with shiny hair. He was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, a dark red tie, and a ring on his finger.
"Sir, are you disturbing your rest?"
"No." Rawls pointed to the brown wool felt laid on his bedroom door, "With it, no sound will be transmitted in."
This kind of rough woolen material covering the door will block all the noise coming from the servants' quarters and is a must-have for every household that employs servants.
Morris, who had slightly dark skin, lowered his head and said nothing.
Rawls smiled and continued to ask:
"How are the preparations for the banquet going?"
"It's basically ready."
"Where is August?"
"It should be in the banquet hall."
Rawls pulled the bell corresponding to the banquet hall.
After a while, Mr. August, the butler, walked up quickly.
"Good afternoon, sir."
"Hmm. Are the drinks ready?"
"Fifty bottles of wine have been taken out of the wine cellar, including twenty bottles of Ormere. Fifty bottles of Champagne have also been purchased, including twenty bottles of Mist Champagne."
August, the butler, spoke out the drink list very fluently without any pause.
"Are the gifts ready?"
"All the guests' gifts are ready."
Rawls nodded.
Rawls followed the butler into the banquet hall.
The light in the living room is dim, with only the gas lamps on the surrounding walls providing some light. On the huge candlestick chandelier, white candles of equal length have been inserted on it, and will not be lit until before the banquet.
The silverware butler is instructing the servants to place various silverware around the living room to ensure that the candlelight can illuminate the silverware; the servant in a red vest uses a ruler in front of the dining table to measure the placement of each set of tableware and the candles in front of the guests.
length;
The maid wearing a black dress and a white apron is either checking the flowers for decoration on the table, or folding the white napkins into the most popular bishop's hat shape.
…………
In the huge banquet hall, burning candles stood on several chandeliers. They exuded a soothing aroma and accumulated a light that was no less than that of gas lamps.
Long tables are lined with delicious foods such as pan-fried foie gras, grilled steak, grilled chicken, pan-fried sole, Dixi oysters, stewed lamb, cream soup, etc. In addition, there are bottles of mist champagne, Austrian champagne, etc.
Ermere wine and Southwell red wine, they exude an attractive color under the light.
Rawls stood at the main seat and delivered his speech to his neighbors and Mason's former friends.
As for the content of his speech, it was nothing more than that he had been too preoccupied with the office in the past two years and had neglected his interactions with neighbors and friends. Rawls apologized for this and announced that he would start focusing on managing the office in the future, and would
Interact a lot with the people in attendance.

.
No matter which one you prefer, for Rawls, it is more to show that he has taken up the pillars of the Adrian family and will carry forward the Adrian family in the future.
After Rawls's speech, it was the turn of Rawls' uncle Edmund Robert. His eyes were red and he barely shed tears during his speech.
After that, the banquet officially started.
Servants in red vests were carrying plates with crystal glasses, shuttling between elegantly or gorgeously dressed gentlemen and ladies.
Rolls held a glass of blood-red Ormere wine and, on the recommendation of Uncle Robert, greeted his father Mason's friends one by one.
After the food cores were gone, the white tablecloth was removed and a new layer of tablecloth was put on it, and the servants began to serve desserts and fruits after the meal.
After finishing the dessert, since there was no hostess in Adrian's house, he asked his neighbor Mrs. Curtis to act as the hostess temporarily.
She gave the order, and all the female guests got up and left the banquet hall and went to the first reception room. The servants also evacuated the banquet hall. All the male guests stayed in the banquet hall. This is Luen's unique habit, unlike
Other countries in the Northern Continent.
The male guests gathered in small groups, either around Rawls or around Edmund, smoking cigars and drinking high-end, strong Langzi wine. They began to talk about some topics that could not be discussed in front of the female guests.
, such as politics, sports or more secretive issues.
When the conversation was almost over, Rawls took the male guests to the first living room to meet the female guests and start the second half of the banquet - the dance.
