Standing in the rotten pine wood alley, Richard felt the strange atmosphere, turned to look around, and then walked towards the courtyard at the deepest part of the alley.
He walked to the courtyard door, stopped, and after confirming that this was the address of Sherlock's "old friend", he reached out and knocked on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door, but there was no answer.
"Huh?" Richard frowned slightly and knocked on the door again the next moment.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was still no movement inside the door.
After knocking on the door for the third time, Richard shouted: "Excuse me... is there anyone?"
There was still no movement inside the door, as silent as a cemetery.
this-
Richard frowned deeply, and the next moment he put his hand on the courtyard door, and gave a tentative push. There was a "squeak", and somewhat unexpectedly, the door was pushed open easily.
Richard pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and decided to go in and see what was going on.
"Da da da… "
When Richard walked in, the first thing he saw was a very ordinary yard with a flat ground and a cobblestone path leading to the main house. It doesn't look much different from an ordinary house. The only difference is that there is no one there.
what happened
Richard stepped forward doubtfully, walking forward on the cobblestone path, preparing to enter the main room. After taking a few steps, he suddenly sensed something and turned his head suddenly to look to the side and behind.
As a result, the moment he turned his head, a figure flashed out from behind a pile of debris in the corner of the yard. It was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, holding a strange-looking weapon, pointing straight at it, and shouted loudly: "Who are you and why are you here?!"
Richard looked at the other party and did not answer immediately. Instead, his eyes fell on the weapon held by the other party, and his expression changed slightly.
The opponent's weapon is completely different from the weapons popular on the entire east coast. It is not a sword or a crossbow.
The opponent's weapon looks like a slender tube with a slightly curved tail and a slight bulge in the middle. The opponent was now grabbing the bulge, stretching out a finger and placing it in front of a small trigger, as if he would pull it at any time.
The opponent's weapon was a musket!
Yes, musket! A muzzleloading flintlock musket!
This made Richard couldn't help but feel a bit confused about time and space, feeling that he was still on the earth, but he quickly recovered and thought a lot.
The young man with the gun saw that Richard had not spoken for a long time, and became angry and shouted loudly: "Hey! Are you deaf or mute?! Let me ask you, who are you and why do you want to break in?" Come
Answer me quickly, if you don't speak again, I will take action! Let me tell you, the weapon in my hand is very powerful. I can kill you with just a move of my fingers! "
Richard rolled his eyes, looked at the gunman, and said slowly: "Don't be nervous. The reason why I came here is actually very simple. I am looking for someone."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?!"
"Master Lawrence."
"Master Lawrence? Damn it!" After hearing what Richard said, the gunman's face changed drastically, "I knew you had no good intentions and were here to trouble the teacher. Go to hell!"
After finishing his words, before Richard could ask the question "Why are you looking for Master Lawrence? You just don't have good intentions?", the gunman had already pulled the trigger unceremoniously.
"Click!"
At the rear of the front-loaded flintlock musket held in hand, the flint in the hammer clamp rotated and slammed into the ignition plate above the powder chamber cover, producing sparks.
"boom!"
The sparks quickly ignite the gunpowder in the barrel, causing the air in the tube to eject at high speed. A large ball of fire, a large plume of green smoke, and a thunderous explosion erupt at the exit of the barrel.
Due to the strong recoil, the gunman fired his shot and leaned back uncontrollably. With a "bang", he sat down on the ground.
After falling, the gunman did not dare to relax. Considering that Richard might not be dead, he struggled to stand up quickly and looked at where Richard was, preparing to determine whether Richard was alive or dead.
As a result, the next moment, his eyes widened suddenly.
The gunman saw Richard standing there, unharmed.
this!
"How is this possible!" the gunman yelled, full of disbelief, "How could I not have shot you? From such a close distance, I was always on target!"
Richard raised his eyebrows, looked at the gunman, and said slowly: "I'm actually a little strange. According to my understanding, after the weapon in your hand is fired, metal projectiles should be ejected. Ah, but actually not. By the way, did you miss something more important because of panic during the loading process before I came in?"
"Uh - this -" The gunman was stunned, looked at Richard, his expression became dull, and he didn't speak for a long time.
The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly felt awkward.
After a while, the gunman realized that Richard was an enemy, not the teacher who had been teaching him and reminding him.
The next moment, the gunman yelled and ran towards the main room as if he was running for his life, shouting as he ran: "Raike, the person coming is a bit powerful, quickly get that big guy made by the teacher to deal with him!" "
"Muto, don't worry, I'm working on it, but it's too heavy. I can't lift it alone. Come and help me!"
"Come right here." The man with the gun quickly ran into the main room.
Richard stood there without stopping, watching the other party run into the main room, eager to see how many surprises this visit would bring.
He was a little curious when he saw a clock in Sherlock's place before, and now he saw a front-mounted flintlock gun. So who will be the "big guy" who will appear next
Gustav super heavy railway gun with a caliber of 800mm? !
As Richard was thinking this, he saw two people running out of the main room.
One of the two people was the gunman just now, namely Mu Tuo. The other one was obviously Reike, who looked similar to Muto and was also a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. But compared to Mu Tuo, his hair is brown, while Mu Tuo is red.
Two people, one behind the other, were carrying a heavy piece of machinery.
Lake walked behind, holding a heavy iron can in his hand. The wooden support is in front, and what is in his hand is a firearm that looks similar to a flintlock gun. However, it is larger and heavier than the previous flintlock gun. It looks a bit bloated in appearance, and has a very thick leather tube and The iron cans in Lake's hands were connected.
This seems to be...
The moment Richard saw the thing in the other person's hand, he had a guess in his mind.
Mu Tuo looked over at this time, stared at Richard and said fiercely: "Damn bad guy, you dare to have thoughts on my teacher, now I will let you know how powerful this big guy is, go to hell!"
After speaking, Totie held the gun unsteadily and aimed at it.
Then the trigger was pulled.
