After dinner, Stewart returned to the room and could not calm down. He paced back and forth in the room of more than ten square meters with his hands behind his back, his expression flickering.
Abigail walked out of the bathroom and saw her fiancé's appearance and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"
"....Didn't you hear what Nicholas said?"
During dinner, Mavey, who learned that Stewart was from Windsor, began to communicate in Windsor, so Abigail could understand what he said.
"I heard it..." Abigail, who was sitting at the table combing her hair, was a little confused: "I am just an ordinary herbal medicine merchant. Is it worth your attention?"
"He is not an ordinary herbal medicine merchant, he is a potion merchant!"
Stewart stopped and said emotionally: "Potion merchant! Abigail, don't you know what this means?"
Abigail shook her head. She had always been indifferent to business matters. When her father sent her to study finance, it was to find a rich husband instead of really expecting her to inherit the family business...
Stewart, who studies seriously, obviously knows what a 'potion merchant' means.
A profession that has never appeared in two thousand years!
A completely blank market!
Unimaginable huge profits!
The gods had just arrived, but how long had it been since the magic potion appeared?
Two months or three months?
In such a short time, I’m afraid I can’t even explore the types of magic potions!
What's more, all the knowledge related to potions is in the hands of the church. No one can get involved except them. No one with a little ambition will be willing to accept such a big piece of cake if it is eaten by the church!
Merchants who sell magic potions are stealing food from the church. It is even difficult for the church to have a complete magic potion business channel. After all, this industry has not yet begun!
Magic potions, that is, extraordinary herbs, need to be picked from dangerous environments. Many places where magic potions grow, there are different extraordinary races living. The only one who can deal with these extraordinary races is the church!
In the Kingdom of Romanov, extraordinary races such as the undead, snakemen, and night wolves appeared. The same happened in the Kingdom of Windsor and the Kingdom of Frederick, where strange and various extraordinary creatures appeared.
The measure taken by the Church of Truth to deal with these extraordinary races is naturalization and management, but what measures are taken by the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny, the Cult of Wisdom, and the Cult of Judgment?
Don't listen or ask!
This is an exaggeration. Take the Kingdom of Windsor as an example. The Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny has indeed eliminated the extraordinary races that emerged in the kingdom, but...
Not completely eradicated.
Don't they have the power to eradicate these extraordinary races?
of course not!
Except for the people at the bottom who have been deceived, who doesn’t know what the Church of the Three Destinies is planning?
Just like the Seran tribe's tears, the extraordinary race itself is the raw material for many potions. If they were killed all at once, wouldn't the source of potions be completely cut off?
That's why the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny, the Church of Judgment, and the Church of Wisdom have chosen the method of freeing up, regularly eradicating extraordinary races, but not eradicating them, and simply plundering potion materials.
Extraordinary races are like the cattle and horses raised by them, slaughtered at will.
In this way, the church can obtain the raw materials of the potion and the faith of believers without paying any price at all.
Why faith?
Because the people at the bottom don't know the church's plans at all. They only know that they are being attacked by extraordinary races, and it is the church that saves them!
How can you not be grateful?
This is a very cruel method, Ma Wei thought of it, but he did not do it.
He does not want the church to use this method to gain the faith of believers, and always feels that protecting believers is the church's responsibility and their mission.
But in the eyes of the nobility and capital, this kind of behavior is worth promoting because it can bring them huge profits.
Robbery and plunder by force are hugely profitable businesses. They who rely on robbery to make a fortune have long been accustomed to this way of making money.
Once upon a time, Ma Wei was one of them, their eagle dog...
It wasn't until the moment when the surviving crew members of the Saint-Martial fleet were abandoned by the kingdom that Ma Wei suddenly woke up and realized that he was just a chess piece, a chess piece that would be ruthlessly abandoned if it loses its value!
From that moment on, Ma Wei began to hate this kind of behavior and despise this method, even if it could bring almost crazy profits.
Stewart doesn’t think so. He thinks this is too normal. When capitalists hire employees, they should absorb the value of their employees. In essence, this is an act of exchange, but if the payment is not proportional to the return, this behavior becomes oppression and exploitation!
When there were no extraordinary races or gods, humans were eating people. Now that there are extraordinary races, is there any problem in eating them?
For Stewart, no!
For aristocrats and capitalists, no!
"It is definitely not easy for a businessman to be engaged in the potion business. Nicholas gives me a feeling that the city is very deep. Perhaps, we can get a piece of the pie from him..."
In the room, Stewart kept talking to himself, thinking about the future for his family.
He is not afraid of Ma Wei, because the second prince is behind the Frederick family. This kind of background is not something that ordinary people can shake.
"Stuer..." Abigail, who had already put on her nightgown, walked up behind her fiancé, hugged his body, and pressed her soft breasts against his back: "Don't worry about Nicholas, there are still two steamships left anyway. The genius has to arrive in London and you have a lot of time to interact with him..."
"Contact him, yes, you reminded me."
Stewart pulled away his fiancée's arms, rushed to the suitcase, and rummaged through the clothes to find a beautifully carved wooden box. Inside the box was a bottle tied with a red ribbon. There was a lot of dust on the cork, which made it look very expensive. of red wine.
"What are you going to do?" Abigail asked in surprise: "Isn't this the gift you want to give to my dad?"
"Believe me, your father prefers this opportunity to be exposed to the field of potion business than this bottle of red wine." Stewart said.
"But...but are you so sure that Nicholas can bring benefits to the family?" Abigail couldn't understand: "We just met him today, and we don't even know what kind of person he is! What if he Is he a liar?"
"Whether he is a liar or not, won't you know it when you get to London?"
Stewart said disapprovingly: "Besides, which liar would spend 250 gold pounds to ride a steam airship? If he was the only one, I wouldn't believe him easily, but he came with his whole family!"
After hearing this inference, Abigail didn't know if Mavie was a liar. Judging from various signs, the possibility of Mavie being a liar was indeed low... How could a liar cheat his four-year-old daughter? ?
The larger the number of people, the easier it is for lies to be exposed. Ma Wei, who took the family to London, is indeed like a family businessman.
but....
"We don't understand the field of potions at all, Stuart." Abigail thought for a moment and said, "My father is a jeweler and doesn't know anything about potions at all. We should be cautious when dealing with areas we don't understand."
"If the situation is favorable to us, of course I won't be anxious, but it's a pity..."
Stewart put down the red wine and let out a long sigh: "In the papal election half a year ago, Archbishop Ubli, who supported the eldest prince, won and became the new pope of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny. We are the camp of the second prince. If If you don't change, when the king dies in the future, the throne will be in the hands of the eldest prince..."
The papal election of the Church of the Three Destinies has ended long ago. As a result, Archbishop Umbley, who believes in Wilder, the goddess of health, became the new pope, and His Royal Highness the Grand Prince whom he supported will also become the most powerful candidate for the King of Windsor.
The second and third princes have fallen into a disadvantage and must find a breakthrough to save the situation!
Stewart felt that Ma Wei, who planned to run the potion business, was an excellent helper for them to break the situation. If Ma Wei could really run the potion business, occupy a place in London and choose to help them, then the second prince and the archbishop behind him would not have enough words. Got the right?
Potions are resources. The Kingdom of Windsor is located on two islands and is not rich in resources. It can only exchange resources with other kingdoms. However, some potions are unique to other kingdoms. If you want to exchange or buy them, you need to pay a heavy price. At this time, a strong middleman is extremely important.

Although he didn't know much about Mavey's background, Stewart felt that Mavey was not simple and wanted to introduce him to the Frederick family. If it was suitable...
Just drag him into the second prince’s camp!
