Carriages carrying suitcases of various sizes passed through the night and headed towards the port.
Junia lay on the glass and kept looking at the church at 99 Kerr Street that was gradually going away, where Mrs. Cecil and Kassim stood at the door, watching them leave.
It wasn't until the carriage turned the corner and was out of sight that she withdrew her gaze, hugged the stuffed bear tightly, lowered her head and refused to say a word.
For her, this is a place like home. She has lived here from the moment she was conscious. She has never left County Wexford, and her knowledge of the outside world is limited to hearsay.
Mawei ruffled her hair and said: "The Romanov Kingdom has beautiful scenery, the people living there are equally friendly, and there are delicious pastries."
"I...I can't bear to leave Mrs. Cecil and the others..." Yunia pursed her lips and said, "I'm afraid there won't be so much delicious food when I go out..."
"Oh, if you are worried about whether the food is delicious, you can rest assured."
Ma Wei spread his hands: "I'm afraid there is no kingdom in the world where the food is more delicious than the Kingdom of Windsor, I'm sure."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. After going to the Romanov Kingdom, you will definitely open the door to a new world."
"Is their food better than what you cook, dad?"
"Well...each has his own merits."
Ma Wei gave a pertinent answer.
As he spoke, there was a clanging sound of glass bottles overhead. Ma Wei looked up at the roof of the car in confusion. He remembered that there was no such fragile item as a glass bottle in the suitcase, so he must not have brought it into the car.
Among the members who went to the Romanov Kingdom this time, the only one who might be carrying a glass bottle...
Ma Wei looked at Lai Wen sitting opposite and frowned: "Did you bring that box of low-quality brandy with you?"
"Ah, that's right!" Lai Wen said confidently: "I bought it for 15 shillings, I can't waste it!"
"...."
Dino beside him kept looking sideways, and it seemed that something was wrong with Wen's eyes.
He had a clear memory of the brandy he bought from the letter. It really couldn't be called wine. It should be said that it was a liquid blended with high alcohol. Whether it had been fermented in oak barrels or not was a question.
The price is also extremely cheap, 1 shilling can buy a gallon, which is about 4.5 liters. You must know that even the cheap mead sold in the pub costs 3 pence a cup!
Only an absolute drunkard would choose such cheap and low-quality brandy....
"You'd better throw it away." Dino said, "I'll give you a box of cognac from the Grotte winery in the Rhine region later."
Laiwen's eyes lit up and he was full of thanks, but he never mentioned the matter of throwing away the cheap brandy.
Apparently, he wanted to keep it for himself.
The tense atmosphere in the carriage eased slightly, and everyone began to talk without a word. A four-wheeled carriage can only accommodate 4 people. If there are children, it can be increased to 5 people. Ma Wei, Yunia, Lai Wen, Dino, Edward and Fat Orange and Little Black rode in one car together, while Katerina and her personal maid rode in another car, following behind them.
The two carriages drove through the streets and alleys until they arrived at the port, without encountering any ambush or attack.
Ma Wei and others are not surprised by this. Many people living in the city are believers of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny. Once a fight breaks out, it is difficult not to cause accidental injuries. Even if the immortal realm exists, damage to the houses is still inevitable. of.
Rather than ambush in a narrow neighborhood, it is better to choose the more spacious and convenient Barrow River with direct access to the sea.
It had just fallen into the night, and the port pier was still very lively. The fishermen and workers were doing the finishing work. They put ropes on the fishing boats and tied them firmly to the iron piers of the pier. Then they put away their tools and carried kerosene lamps. They came in groups. Head to the bistro and treat yourself.
At Pier 1, a huge steam freighter was docked on the shore. Its huge chimney was as wide as the front of a car, and bursts of black smoke were emitting from it.
The warm-up has been completed. Ma Wei and others got off the carriage, and with the help of the sailors of the Romanov Kingdom, they put the last luggage on the ship. However...
Just as they were about to board the ship, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded behind them.
"Here we come..." Ma Wei looked at Katerina, who was wearing a black velvet hood: "Your Highness, please get on the boat with Dino first."
tomato
"I can take care of your daughter." Katerina said, "If anything happens to you, I will raise her up."
"Thanks, but... no."
Hearing this, Katerina didn't say much and got on the boat with her maid.
The following battle is not something ordinary people can intervene in. If she stays, it will only add to the trouble.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Ma Wei turned around and looked at the black-armored knights in front. His eyes stayed on Albert for a moment, and then moved to Bishop Fowler next to him and the carriage behind him.
Through the glass, you can vaguely see several figures sitting inside.
If nothing else...
Yin Fulin and other saints from the parish should be sitting inside.
The fishermen and workers who had not had time to leave noticed the situation here, quickly speeded up, and left as if running away.
No one stopped them, Bishop Fowler let them go, which was what he wanted to see.
The more people there are...
The more likely it is that accidents will occur.
After they were the only two left on the dock, Bishop Fowler slowly took out a roll of parchment and read loudly: "Marve Enders, you forged documents to interrogate the death row prisoners, suspected of smuggling valuables, and murdering Father Satuk. He also deceived the common people with false teachings, illegally obtained wealth, secretly collaborated with the enemy’s Grand Duke during the war, and is now planning to treason and flee to the Romanov Kingdom, violating a total of 17 laws of the Kingdom!”
"According to the church's judicial law, I sentenced you to be a heretic. Do you... have anything to say?"
heresy!
Regardless of the kingdom's laws mentioned above, this crime alone is enough to kill Ma Wei!
Bishop Fowler, who was afraid that the charge of heresy would not be enough to convince the public, also "considerately" labeled Mavey with treason. Since Archduke Katerina was on the steam freighter behind, this charge was a certainty and the evidence was conclusive.
Bishop Fowler...
Come prepared.
The previous forbearance and anger all turned into the verdict of Ma Wei's trial.
"Every word is really heart-breaking..."
Ma Wei shook his head with a smile: "I didn't expect that I broke so many laws. I'm afraid even hanging is not enough to punish me... How did you know that I was leaving tonight?"
The play...will continue to sing.
Bishop Fowler narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to know. In view of the contributions you have made to the kingdom, I don't want to use force and surrender."
"Do you not want to, or do you dare not?" Ma Wei held Yunia's little hand, and strength poured into his body. The horses seemed to feel the danger, and they paved their hooves anxiously, showing signs of retreating.
Seeing this scene, Bishop Fowler's eyes shrank slightly, and Ma Wei said slowly: "You are scared...Bishop Fowler."
"Albert, do it!"
Bishop Fowler waved his arms and ordered:
"Leave no one behind!"
