On November 20, after staying in Risa Village for half a month, the Mawei people once again set foot on the road to the Kingdom of Windsor.
In the past half month, the old house left by the Manstein family has been almost renovated. The mottled walls have been painted with bright red paint, the leaky barn has been completely cleaned up, and the weeds in the yard have been completely cleaned up. All were uprooted and purple hornweeds were planted that would not wither in winter.
Ma Wei even hired a housekeeper and gardener from the village to take care of the mansion.
As he said, the identity of Nicholas von Manstein will accompany him for a long time in the future. During this period, he must make the identity of Nicholas come alive and become the new Manstein. The head of the family.
There was nothing 'Nicholas' could do without him.
From that day on, Village Chief Dim never doubted the identities of the Maweijians. He might know something, or he might wake up from hypnosis and see through the false identities of the Maweijians, but...
The village chief of Dim is willing to treat them as the true successors of the Manstein family.
If it hadn't been for the arrival of the Mawei people, the Manstein family would have been doomed to disappear in the long river of history, and no one would ever remember it. The last traces they left in the world would also be erased by time.
The village chief of Dim didn't know what the purpose of the Maweij people was, and why they pretended to be heirs of the Manstein family. He only knew that the Maweji people were not coveting the Manstein family's inheritance, and that was enough.
Flori von Manstein needs an heir, and the Manstein family also needs descendants like the three of Mavey. Although the bloodline has been severed, the surname remains. As long as there is hope, there will be a day when glory can be restored. .
The appearance of Ma Wei and others is a good thing for Risa Village, a good thing for the Manstein family, and a good thing for themselves. Everyone is happy, so there is no need to expose it.
Before leaving Risa Village, Mawei took the books collected in the bookcase, including the ancient satanic book with the missing blood crystal. Buggy said that it contained the resentment of the Charming Sheep after his death, but water mist magic could just restrain these.
Like the Black Madonna I got from Finn Drost.
As for the fact that Edward is a devil...
To be honest, before Edward regained his memory, Ma Wei was not worried that it would betray the Church of Truth.
Edward has made an unbreakable contract with him. Those who betray the contract will pay the price with their lives. Even if they use other means to escape the judgment of the contract, they will be severely damaged that is difficult to repair.
In this world, contracts are extremely sacred, more sacred than oaths. Both parties who sign a contract will be extremely cautious about the content of the contract. Some contracts are some kind of transactions, similar to the information exchange contract signed by Buggy and Ma Wei, and some contracts are A deeper alliance, similar to the oath of alliance between the fourth prince Arthur and Ma Wei...
What Edward and Ma Wei signed was also a covenant. Edward represented the Blood Clan and Ma Wei represented the Church of Truth. They formally formed an alliance in the Black Castle. The most binding contract was that as long as the Church of Truth did not abandon the Blood Clan, the Blood Clan would not abandon the truth either. The church, bound by this covenant, Ma Wei believed in Edward.
The train departing from the city of Freiberg went all the way north. The Maweijians planned to go to Berlin, and from there they would take a steam airship to London, the capital of the Kingdom of Windsor.
The steam airship is the latest form of transportation. It was first invented by H. Giffard, an engineer from the Kingdom of Popang, in 1852. Nearly 10 years have passed since the invention, and less than 5 ships have been officially put into use. Tickets are extremely expensive. A three-day and two-night voyage from Berlin to London costs 50 gold pounds per person per ticket, which is equivalent to a full year's salary of the lowest middle class. Only true aristocrats can experience it.
Compared to the expensive steam airship, Ma Wei had many economical options, but he still paid 250 gold pounds. Why...
Of course it's because of the expensive tickets for the steam airship.
The expensive ticket price means that the people who take the steam airship are either rich or expensive, and they are definitely the upper class. Ma Wei's trip to London this time is to deal with these upper class people. 250 gold pounds is expensive, but if it can be exchanged for Let's have some friendship...
Then the expense is worth it.
In addition, the tickets for the steam airship ride were actually obtained by Dino from the Pluto Chamber of Commerce. There was no way, the steam airship was so fashionable, and the nobles all wanted to experience it, as if they were not qualified to claim to be nobles if they did not take a steam airship ride. The distinction between upper-class people and those at the bottom was similar. This behavior made it difficult to get a ticket for a steam airship, and the black market price even rose to 100 gold pounds per ticket.
If it weren't for the relationship with the Pluto Chamber of Commerce, Ma Wei and the others would have been taken advantage of by buying tickets from scalpers.
Ma Wei was never stingy when it came time to spend money, but that didn't mean he wanted to spend money in vain.
On November 21, after a day and night of traveling, the train finally arrived in Berlin, the capital of Frederick's Kingdom.
Like Mosk, Berlin is also a majestic giant city with a rich cultural atmosphere and full of exquisite religious buildings. Blonde beauties are walking in the streets wearing fashionable dresses, and gentlemen are sitting in coffee shops talking with their heads held high. , there was a hint of arrogance in the glances towards Ma Wei and the others.
"Brother, why do they look at us like this?"
Noticing the slightly disdainful and arrogant looks from the people around him, Laiwen became a little unhappy: "It makes us look like country bumpkins..."
"In their eyes, we are just country folks from the south, and Freiberg is a rural city." Ma Weidanding said.
"But how do they know we're from Freiberg?"
"Because Berliners tend to be blond and blue-eyed, there are more brown-haired and green-haired people in Saxony in the south. Many Germanic people believe that only blond-haired and blue-eyed people are orthodox, and those with darker hair and pores are considered unclean. "It's a symbol." Daniel explained: "At the same time, the Fredericks don't like to have big beards, especially those wearing suits, glasses, and a black top hat... If you hold another one in your hand, This book will be more complete."
】
I suspect you are implying something... Ma Wei cursed in his heart.
As an ancient Junker noble, the bloodline of the Manstein family is definitely orthodox Germanic, not what Daniel said... Well.
The physical characteristics described by Daniel were not only disgusted by Frederick, but also by other kingdoms, including the Kingdom of Windsor, Bonaparte's First Empire, and the Roman Republic. It was a widespread phenomenon of discrimination. .
Regional discrimination, racial discrimination, occupational discrimination... Wherever there are people, there is full of discrimination. Some discrimination is biased, and some discrimination is pertinent and leaves an impression only after personal experience. Right and wrong are different opinions.
Just like the vampires, humans also discriminated against them at first, thinking that they would harm themselves. But as long as the vampires prove themselves with actual actions, coupled with the propaganda of the Church of Truth, won't the inherent impression change over time?
Eliminating discrimination cannot be achieved by shouting slogans. It requires the joint efforts of a group and a nation. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted.
"The meeting point is on Calhos Street near the ferry terminal. Let's go. The steam airship will depart at 4 p.m. We have to hurry up."
Dino asked the person in charge of the Pluto Chamber of Commerce in Berlin to buy the tickets for the steam airship. Ma Wei and others had to get the tickets from the person in charge before they could board the ship normally. There was less than 3 hours left before the airship departed. , after getting the tickets, we still have to rush to the western suburbs of Berlin, so we don’t have much time.
Once the departure time of the steam airship is missed, the next time the airship returns to Berlin will be next month.
Although time was a bit tight, Mavey was not in a hurry because he asked Daniel to estimate the time. If he took a carriage, he could reach the western suburbs in an hour, and the ferry terminal was not far from Berlin East Station where they got off, a few steps' walk. Minutes are up.
Busy workers could be seen everywhere around the ferry terminal. After arriving here, Mavie looked around and found a pizza shop across the street. He immediately took Yunia, Laiwen and the others across the road and walked into the shop.
"welcome!"
Behind the glass counter is a blond male waiter with a smile on his face that is neither too enthusiastic to make people feel cramped nor too cold to appear unapproachable.
Walking to the counter, Mavey said calmly: "I want a Berlin airship sightseeing set, plus two glasses of orange sparkling water, lemon slices and mint leaves, and a double cheese lasagna, with three slices on top. Garnish with basil leaves, package them, and put them all in a bag.”
Hearing such a complicated ordering method, the blond waiter was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, please wait a moment."
In less than 20 minutes, the freshly baked thin-crust pizza was taken out of the oven. The blond waiter quickly put the food into an oil paper bag and placed it in front of Ma Wei and others who were waiting in the corner: "Sir, a total of It’s 1 gold mark.”
Ma Wei had no change in his hand, all of which were full-value general-purpose coupons. Fortunately, Daniel brought a lot of change with him. After paying the money, the group took the food and walked out of the pizza shop.
"Brother, where is the contact person?"
Lai Wen looked around, thinking that Ma Wei ran into the pizza shop to buy something to eat because he was hungry, but he didn't expect...
Ma Wei actually raised his hand to stop a four-wheel carriage and directly told the driver his destination in the western suburbs.
"I never said there was a connector."
After getting in the car, Ma Wei opened the paper bag and took out a few airship tickets from the deepest part: "Dino just gave me the address of a pizza shop, and the password is what I just said when ordering."
In extraordinary times, it is not enough to be cautious. If there are eyeliners following you around, you can avoid danger by doing so.
Even if someone wants to check the origin of their tickets, Ma Wei can use the black market as a cover. Anyway, the things in the black market have no source, and the investigation will not be able to trace them.
"Are you hungry?" Ma Wei handed the paper bag to Yunia: "Eat something. Although the airship has free catering service, it will take off until the evening, so you need to rest your stomach first."
Edward didn't need to eat, and Daniel had no appetite. Only Laiwen and Yunia each took a slice of pizza, drank orange sparkling water, and ate heartlessly.
Seeing that Daniel kept looking at the street passing by outside the car, Ma Wei said: "If you want to go home and have a look, there is still time."
"....No."
Daniel shook his head and said: "There are many people in the palace and there are people from the Judgment Cult. It is too easy to be exposed. I am a proton and should not appear where I shouldn't."
