The next morning, Ma Wei continued to explain the "Book of Truth" to the newly recruited believers as usual. There was no sign of panic or nervousness in his words and deeds.
Looking at Dino on the side, although he also acted relatively calm, his lips were dry and white, and he was already angry. He had a big sore in his mouth, and he had to pay attention to his volume when he spoke.
Don't be in a hurry, this is what Ma Wei told him. He also knows that he can't be in a hurry, but how can he not be in a hurry?
It's almost 10 o'clock. This is the last time they distribute broth. After distributing broth, it won't be long before the farmers come to ask for the balance...
Dino has no money. He now only has some asset contracts, wineries, stocks... these are the only things he has left.
Facing the bankruptcy crisis for the second time, Dino was not as dejected as he was three years ago, but the feeling of waiting was very bad and made him restless.
The aroma of broth wafted from outside. Ma Wei stopped talking, looked at the time, clapped his hands, indicating to the believers that they could go have lunch and continue to explain the "Book of Truth" in the afternoon.
Yunia rubbed her eyes and yawned as she walked downstairs, looking like she hadn't woken up. As the number of believers increased, her sleep time became longer and longer. She had to sleep until noon. She has been sleeping like this since today. morning....
Simply hungry.
Ma Wei poured her a glass of hot milk and brought out the chestnut cake carefully cooked by Bourbon chef Wei Yin...
Ma Wei is quite satisfied with the Bourbon chef Katerina sent. He is indeed an expert in cooking pastries. All the pastries he makes are classic styles that are popular among Bourbon people, and they are made with sugar. It was a bit too much and overly sweet. After Ma Wei's repeated requests, Wei Yin reduced the amount of sugar to make the pastry less sweet.
Wei Yin's arrival also freed up Ma Wei more time.
Yunia tied on a small white napkin, sat on a chair nearby and started eating by herself, kicking her calves under her skirt, obviously in a good mood.
"Father..."
Dino found Ma Wei who was drinking tea. He kept glancing at the door and hesitated to speak.
"We have already done what we should do." Ma Wei said: "After the first person to eat crabs appears, the crabs will be served to every household's dining table, so don't worry, just let nature take its course. "
"Can this trick really work?"
"According to my past experience, there are no more than three in everything. This is also the research result of human psychology." Ma Wei said softly: "The first time may be an accident, and most people will choose to stop and wait. When the second time appears, people will They began to waver, but still refused to respond, thinking that maybe it was a fluke, but the third time... would completely destroy their luck."
Being able to hold on for the third time already has a strong psychological quality. A certain country surrendered without even holding on for the second time...
Dino wanted to say something else, but before he could speak, he saw a figure walking into the church.
It was a man, dressed very simply. He wore a gray linen cotton shirt with several layers on it. His pair of cloth shoes were stained with mud. He had a thin face and thin white and black beard. He couldn't tell his exact age, but at least he was not low-looking. At the age of 35.
"There's a new guy here." Dino sighed and said nothing more. He walked to the bench and sat down, planning to wait until Ma Wei finished his work before talking.
Ma Wei turned his head and looked at the other person up and down, until he saw the clean nails between the other person, his eyes flickered, he put down the tea cup, stood up and said, "Come to the study with me."
The man nodded and silently followed Ma Wei into the small door leading to the inside of the church. Dino was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and hurriedly chased after him.
.............................
"sit."
In the study, Ma Wei pointed to the chair next to him and asked, "Who sent you here?"
"I am the butler of Lord Rurus, Vlad." The man took off his hat, nodded and saluted: "I am here to give you a reply on your order."
Dino, who was late, opened the door and walked into the study. He happened to hear what Vlad said, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Ma Wei.
"Well..." Ma Wei did not rush to express his position, but showed a smile: "Your master is the last one. To be honest, I doubt his loyalty."
"The latest one?" Vlad's face changed slightly: "They have been here a long time ago?"
"If you only count the members of the dinner party that day, that's right."
Vlad's expression changed several times, and finally he reached into his arms and took out a stack of large ruble coupons issued by the Romanov Royal Bank and placed it on the desk: "This is the sincerity of our master, please Please tell Her Royal Highness Katerina."
"sure."
"besides...."
After hesitating for a moment, Vlad took out a stack of equally thick ruble coupons from his arms and said, "This is a gift that our master voluntarily donated to the Church of Truth. Please keep the donor anonymous."
Ma Wei glanced at the two stacks of ruble coupons on the desk and said with a smile: "I already understand the sincerity of Earl Ruos. Please go back and tell him that although he is the last one to express his loyalty, loyalty is in no particular order. , long-term loyalty is what we want to see.”
"Please rest assured, Father, we will send the same amount every month in the future." Vlad said quickly.
"Very good, let's stay for lunch."
"No, no, thank you for your invitation, but I have to go back and take my life again." Vlad put on his hat, bowed deeply to Mavi, turned and left.
When Vlad returned to the church, he saw Yunia who was concentrating on eating cake. Yunia grinned at him, then lowered her head and continued eating cake.
However, two minutes ago, shortly after he followed Ma Wei into the study...
A man with a low brim and equally inconspicuous clothing came to the church. He didn't see Mavey, but found Yunia. After asking about it...
"Uncle, please go to the kitchen and eat a piece of cake first. Dad has gone to the toilet and will be out in a moment!"
The man who didn't want to attract any attention entered the kitchen in the direction Yunia pointed.
Less than a minute later, another man came to the church. Yunia thought for a moment, jumped off the chair, ran to him and said, "Uncle, I want some candy!"
"...."
Before coming, of course the man had investigated the Church of Truth and knew that Father Mavey had a daughter, and the little girl standing in front of him, if nothing unexpected...
"Uncle, there is no candy." The man showed a flattering smile, squatted down, and took out a few ruble coins from his arms in a subtle way: "Uncle, can I give you some money?"
"No! I want some candy! Uncle, go buy some for me!" Yunia said reluctantly.
Seeing that Ma Wei was not in the church and Yunia kept pestering him, the man really had no choice but to lower his hat, hurried out of the church door, and ran to the candy store on the corner to buy some chocolates as a greeting gift.
Yunia quickly ran back to the chair and sat down, picked up the fork, and ate the cake. After a while...
Vlad came out of the study.
After Vlad left, Yunia said to Mavey: "Dad, there is an uncle looking for you in the kitchen."
"Oh?" Ma Wei said in surprise: "Did you let him enter the kitchen?"
"Yeah! Because I feel that dad wants to deceive... No! It's to test their loyalty!" Yunia said with a smile.
"so smart...."
After rubbing his daughter's head, Ma Wei walked into the kitchen and smiled at the nervous man who was sitting upright:
"It seems that your master has made a decision. Although he is the last one, his loyalty is in no particular order..."
