"Huh?! You robbed Finn Drost?!"
At 3 o'clock in the morning, Ma Wei was disturbed by a violent knock on the door. After hearing the whole story narrated by Fat Orange, he was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.
what's the situation?
It's not surprising that Finn Drost has a secret. Mavey had expected it, but...
He never expected that Levine would actually perform a trick and directly steal the statue of the Black Madonna...
"It's the rule that thieves don't make mistakes!"
Levin said smugly: "I've come here, I definitely can't leave empty-handed! Besides, I learned this trick from you. I still remember the last time you dropped in on Friday!"
"But you are the Rose Phantom Thief..." Ma Wei rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "Don't the Rose Phantom Thief have to send a notice before committing a crime?"
"The first generation of Rose Phantom Thief is dead! Now I am Levin Berger!"
Levine was eloquent and not at all ashamed.
He just did something he knew how to do. Even if he did it again, the ending would be the same.
Ma Wei was completely speechless. He looked at Fat Orange and Edward and found that they both had expressions that had nothing to do with me, which was enough to prove that Levin had an idea to steal the Black Madonna... Bah! It was an impromptu idea.
The Black Madonna statue was wrapped in blue mist. Whether it was stolen or on the way back, Levin always maintained the water mist magic and constantly interfered with the statue. He believed that only in this way could something beyond imagination be avoided.
The fact is as he expected. Ever since it left Fenn Drost some distance away, the Black Madonna has been continuously emitting some black threads invisible to the naked eye. If the threads were not disturbed by the water mist magic, I am afraid that even Levine couldn't see anything strange about it either.
Not only that....
The original faceless face of the Black Madonna statue has now turned into a hideous face of a devil, with slender fangs protruding from the corners of its mouth. It is extremely ferocious and full of weirdness, completely losing its previous holiness and kindness.
Ma Wei took the statue and checked it over and over, but found no mechanism, let alone a magic circle. Those hanging black threads did no harm, as if they were completely restricted by the water mist magic, and it was extremely quiet.
Collecting these weird things has never been Mavey's hobby, but since the statue was stolen from Finn Drost, it must be related to the Free Society. _o_m
This was also the first time they came into contact with an extraordinary item related to the god behind the Free Association. With a steady attitude, Ma Wei did not dismantle it, but handed it to Levin and asked him to continue to suppress it.
As for the background and origin of the Black Madonna, unfortunately, Ma Wei asked Edward and Selina, but they both knew nothing about the statue.
There is no way, the goddess of happiness, Salina, is also a newly born god, and does not know much about the origins of history. Edward is an ancient existence, but it has lost its memory, and it no longer knows the things it knew before.
Ma Wei misses Holmes who is far away in the Kingdom of Windsor more and more. If he is here, it should not be difficult to investigate these things. After all, there are specialties in the art industry, and this is what people do.
"We will investigate the Black Madonna incident later. I will write a letter to Holmes tomorrow and ask him to collect information about the Black Madonna, the Free Association, and the history of gods."
"Why are you looking for him? I can investigate..." Levin snorted and muttered reluctantly.
"Do you still have a problem with him?"
"No, of course not. I have settled my account with him a long time ago. I just don't like him."
Mavey shook his head and began to rummage through Finn Drost's suitcase. In addition to the Black Madonna, there were also a large number of universal gold certificates issued by Citigroup Federal Bank, tobacco, some souvenirs and clothes, stationery...
There was nothing of great value, and I didn’t dare to use universal gold coupons for fear that there would be marks on them. Even if there were no marks, there would still be a fixed and unique code on them. Spending them would be too risky and could easily be traced back to the source. To be on the safe side, Ma Wei decided Only the statue of the Black Madonna will be preserved, and everything else will be burned.
It's really not worth taking the risk for this little money.
Finn Drost cannot find out that things were stolen by the Church of Truth, otherwise the Freedom Society will definitely demand it. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 76: How to break the situation
Take the opportunity to attack.
Now, they are still fledgling and cannot provoke too many enemies.
"Based on the intelligence collected by Levine, we can currently confirm that Finn Drost is a member of the Free Association. Similarly, Citigroup Federal Bank is most likely an institution composed of members of the Free Association." Ma Wei raised the corner of his mouth, not at all. Unexpected, "And the Brusinov family should have nothing to do with the Free Association, otherwise there would be no need for Finn Drost to discuss business with them... Levin's guess was correct, the United States of America did want to cause trouble. First update @ ”
"They want to use the boyar nobles to sell plantation specialties to the Romanov Kingdom!" Levin said angrily: "Once they succeed, the Romanov Kingdom will become their puppet! They must be stopped. !”
Ma Wei nodded and agreed: "It turns out that local specialties are expensive and are not luxuries that ordinary people can consume. Dino once sold a 50% concentration cocaine solution to the upper class nobles and made a lot of money. This is indeed a hugely profitable industry. If a large amount of souvenirs flow into the Romanov Kingdom and the price is relatively low, many civilians will inevitably start to smoke it. This kind of thing is very addictive and must not be allowed to circulate. "
Having said that, with the current influence of the Church of Truth, it is difficult to call on civilians to reject local products. What is even more frightening is that under the laws of many countries, injecting a 3% concentration of cocaine solution is legal and compliant!
This time, the plan to kill people with a borrowed knife and let the Wisdom Cult act as pawns will not work. They can only do the anti-drug thing themselves.
"One wave comes after another..."
Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief. The ensuing troubles made him extremely overwhelmed. Although the Church of Truth was already in its early stages, as its size grew, it encountered more and more problems and troubles.
"The main reason is that King Paul I issued a wartime bill that prohibited civilians from moving around at will during the war, which restricted our believers." Fat Jue said: "As a result, we can no longer publicize the dangers of local specialties, and believers cannot do it at all. Spread it out!”
"Well... the good news is that in a short period of time, souvenirs cannot be transported to the Romanov Kingdom." Ma Wei thought for a while and said: "The Kingdom of Windsor has blocked the trade routes. It is winter again and the railway is blocked. The Royal Navy will not let the United States of America deliver supplies to the Romanov Kingdom."
"But this situation will not last long." Fat Orange shook his head and said: "As long as the next counterattack is successful, the Romanov Kingdom will be able to regain a large area of land including the Ural Mountains. By then the trade routes will be accessible, and the United States of Citi will be completely We can use the Frederick Kingdom to deliver local products to the Romanov Kingdom.”
"Indeed it is...."
Ma Wei frowned and thought hard, looking for a way to break the situation. The room was extremely quiet, and an unknown amount of time passed...
"Huh? Why did I forget about him?"
His eyes suddenly lit up, Ma Wei slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "There is a way! We can ask the fourth prince Arthur for help!".
