"You say this one can shoot six consecutive bullets?" Song Yue was enamored by this new weapon which is lighter, has a better grip, and looks better than the previous one.
Mark pointed the small button at the rear end of the cylinder. "You have to hold onto it and then, swing it out to open the chamber and load the bullets."
As Mark demonstrated how to load the bullets, Song Yue was watching it carefully. Her face was glowing in happiness as she was learning a new thing that was unknown to most of the people in the world.
Meanwhile, Lin Xue who also followed Song Yue from behind also takes a look at the revolver. However, from time to time, she couldn't help but glance at Allen who was standing nearby like a statue.
As for the handmaidens, they were giggling among themselves, as usual, commenting how handsome Lu Zhen and Allen are.
"Oh! So, it's like that, huh! Okay. First, let me see if it suits me or not." Feeling the revolver, she posed it with her finger on the trigger.
As she pointed the revolver at everywhere while one of her handmaidens was ready with instant cameras to click the pictures, Mark thought that this girl would probably try to become a model if she was born in his past world.
At the same time, he was also surprised to see a 20th-century modern invention of his past world in her hands even though it looked like it was made out of metal. According to his knowledge, the world shouldn't have this type of invention, at least, not yet.
He inspected it. "Eh?"
Magical Image Capturer
Grade: Gold
Description: A unique invention by Master Blacksmith Shen Chao using Wyvern's eyes as a catalyst and stainless steel as core material. When the trigger is pressed, a unique seal inside of the item will start absorbing the natural energy in the surroundings to capture the moment happening before it and recreates it anything that fits inside. Picture quality varies according to the material of the film. A thick sheet of paper is cost-effective.
"So, this one functions like a camera but not exactly one?" Mark thought its inventor is really a genius. The steps are too simple actually.
Despite being technologically backward compared to his past world, he felt that this world of ether energy really has enormous potential and has so much to offer.
It made him further think about some of his weapon designs that couldn't be created because the experts thought they can only be created probably in 20-30 years when technology gets advanced.
Mark wondered whether he could possibly create them replacing the required modern technology with ether energy.
As he clenched his fist to control his excitement, suddenly, Song Yue who was busy posing with the new revolver pointed the weapon at him.
Mark immediately raised his hands by habit, surprising the heiress of the Song family.
"Huh! What's that…" She felt the theme even goes well with her revolver. "Hands… up…"
"Hands up in the air?" Her eyes lit up by finding a sentence that goes well with posing.
Meanwhile, Mark who realized his actions cleared his throat and put his hands down. "Lady Song, please be careful. It was loaded with bullets and I'm not a spirit warrior."
"Hehe, sorry about that…" Song Yue giggled as she pointed it elsewhere.
However, right then, she unintentionally clicked the trigger with her concentration else.
*bang*
A loud sound echoed across the room, making the handmaidens fall on their butts because of close distance.
The civilians passing by flinched and got panicked while the black-robed coachman who already witnessed the bullets in the forest didn't think too much of it and continued to wait.
On the other hand, Lin Xue's eyes widened in shock, not because of the sound of the bullet. She was too familiar with it.
Her eyes captured Allen who moved like a flash and caught the tiny bullet that was about to hit one of the displayed weapons on a shelf. If she hadn't seen a bullet in his fingers, even she wouldn't have known whether he caught it or not.
Allen then, returned to his original place as if nothing happened.
"Oops." Oblivious Song Yue just placed the revolver back at the counter and said, "I'll buy this along with a thousand bullets. I'll pay advance in full but, I need them by next week. Can you do it?"
"Thousand?" After hearing such a high amount, Mark forgot about the earlier accident and let out a big smile, "Sure. We offer to deliver services for those who pay 50% advance as long as it is within the city. So, if you tell the place, Allen will deliver the rest at the place."
"Oh! That's nice. So, how much is for this revolver?" Song Yue asked him the price while readily taking out a storage pouch from her storage ring.
"It's 20 gold coins for revolver and the six bullets loaded in it. As for the bullets, our store has an offer for purchase that exceeds a hundred bullets in number. We give 10% more bullets as complementary. So, instead of 1000, you can just buy 900 bullets and get 990 bullets."
Song Yue was taken aback a little bit as the store owner was only making a loss by suggesting this. In the end, she nodded as she continued to take out gold coins one after the other.
Within a minute, the top of the counter was filled with two hundred glistening gold coins.
The handmaidens looked like they were going to get a heart attack because of the shock. Meanwhile, a frown appeared on Lin Xue as Mark was smiling big as he was hurriedly collecting all the gold coins to keep them in the drawer.
After all, two hundred gold coins for an ungraded weapon does seem like a waste but what can she do about this habit of hers. Her friend even bought that useless camera for fifty mid-grade quality Ether crystals. (1 mid-grade quality Ether crystal of 1 karat= 100 gold coins).
As Mark handed a box full of hundred bullets and a wooden box with a revolver, she patted her shoulder, "Yue Yue, let's go."
It was at that moment Song Yue finally realized the reason she brought her along with her.
She then turned back to Mark, "Owner Lu, I forgot to introduce her. This is Lin Xue, my best friend. Her father is Minister of Personnel."
"Nice to meet you, Lady Lin." Mark greeted her with a smile. He only glanced at her for a moment before turning back towards Song Yue. Since she isn't a customer, he doesn't feel the need to put extra hospitality to her.
