Ma Wei really thought about asking his old friends for help.
But he couldn't come forward directly. After all, his identity was sensitive. Contact with hundreds of people at the same time would definitely arouse suspicion.
He needed a middleman, namely Turay Crowley.
"They are doing well now."
Speaking of his former crew members, Toure had a smile on his face: "Most of them are already married, and those who are already married also have children... Are you still single?"
"yes."
"Why not start a family?" Toure was a little puzzled.
"Why do you even ask me this question?"
"Curious." Toure said bluntly: "Every time the fleet docks, you will go out to have a party. At first, we guessed that you should be the first to get married, but since you...well, in short, you seem to have changed."
"My family will become my weakness." Ma Wei said calmly: "What's more, if I hadn't been drunk and carried out my inspection mission on time, I should have been able to discover the encirclement set by the enemy earlier, and maybe I could have turned defeat into victory... ..”
Toure was silent for a while and said, "You were not the person in charge of patrolling that night."
"I know, but I have long developed the habit of patrolling at night. Even if it wasn't me, I would still patrol regularly."
"Even if you find out in advance, you can't change the outcome. The enemy has been well prepared. They used the terrain of the strait to outflank the fleet from the rear. We can't escape and can only fight to the death."
"If the enemy can be discovered in advance, the Saint-Martial fleet will not be completely destroyed."
"Stop blaming yourself." Toure comforted: "What happened back then cannot be changed by you alone."
Hearing this, Ma Wei smiled: "Obviously you are the one who is stuck in that night and can't get out, but now you are trying to persuade me, you are still the same as before, Tu Lei."
Touré held a hand-rolled cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it, took a deep breath and said: "Because I am the fleet commander, the destruction of the fleet is directly related to me, and I am the real sinner..."
"Let's not mention this matter. You just said that the reason why you don't want to start a family is that you are afraid that your family will become your weakness..."
Tulay glanced at Yunia who was talking and laughing with Sara: "What's going on with her?"
"You don't know her identity?" Ma Wei was slightly startled, but he didn't expect Tu Lei to ask such a question.
The news that Yunia is a goddess is not a secret. It stands to reason that Ture should know...
"I have been performing cruise missions on the high seas, so I don't pay much attention to external affairs." Toure flicked the ashes of his cigarette: "Is her identity very special?"
"To be precise..."
Ma Wei smiled bitterly and said: "She is not my weakness, I should be her weakness."
"Yunia..." Toure suddenly came back to his senses: "Is she the goddess of truth, Yunia?!"
"That's right."
"You actually brought her to London..." Toure said in surprise: "This is the territory of the three goddesses of destiny. Aren't you afraid that Yunia's identity will be discovered and a war will break out?"
"For big things, of course you have to take some risks."
After a pause, Ma Wei put away his smile and asked seriously: "Are they still the old friends from back then?"
Among the 138 surviving crew members of the St. Martial fleet, 137 people are left after leaving behind Ma Wei and Touré who miraculously survived. These people all joined the plan at the beginning, but after four years, how many of these people can stick to their plans? Heartfelt?
You know, they have now become the mainstay of the Royal Navy!
His status as an ordinary crew member has already undergone earth-shaking changes.
"There are many old friends like me who have not forgotten the Battle of Perea." Toure said with a smile: "We hold private gatherings every year to remember our comrades buried deep under the Perea Strait. I believe, Most of them have never forgotten their original vows.”
"That's good."
Ma Wei nodded lightly and breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that the companions who had sworn the oath together would lose their fighting spirit, be defeated by the extravagant life, and become no different from other nobles.
At the same time, he was also afraid of sticking to himself until the end.
"Have you connected with the Fourth Prince?" Tu Lei asked.
"In addition to my identity as Nicholas von Manstein, I have another identity that you have seen."
"What identity?"
"Russell Benjamin."
"Are you Benjamin?" Toure's eyes widened in shock. He rarely showed surprised expressions, but Ma Wei shocked him every time: "Not only did you break into the second prince's camp, you also ran into the first prince's camp. Are you here?"
"At the beginning, I had no plan to personally break into the eldest prince's camp. The fourth prince has already surrendered to the eldest prince. In addition, Felix and Helena have a close relationship. It is not difficult to detect the actions of the eldest prince's camp."
Ma Wei shrugged and said: "It's just that when I was investigating the underground black market in London, I discovered that the owner of the Nightingale Club, Hilton Mobile, had a secret connection with the butler of the underground black market, so I used Russell Benjamin's identity. I broke into the club and wanted to investigate the underground black market through Hilton Moby, but I didn't expect it..."
】
"It turns out that the cause of Hilton's death is also related to you." Toure shook his head helplessly: "I just said why so many things have happened in London recently, and the relationship is your fault!"
"I can only say that many things are related to me, but I am not the culprit. I will not bear these scapegoats."
Toure patted Mavey on the shoulder: "No matter what, it will be good if you come back. I know what you are worried about. I will contact my old friend. If there are any problems, we will inform each other."
"good."
Although the school building is a relatively private area, there are many people and it is not advisable to stay for too long. There will be many opportunities in the future. After the communication was completed, Tu Lei and Ma Wei left the school building. When they left, Tu Lei's footsteps were obviously much lighter. , the back view is no longer so bleak.
"Brother, can you trust him?" The letter looked at Touré who had boarded the carriage and said, "He is a duke. If he carries out reforms with us, isn't he going to risk his own life?"
"Even if I can't trust myself, I won't doubt Toure." Mawei said calmly: "You can see it from the way he treats Sara. If he breaks his oath, why should he adopt Sara under pressure? Woolen cloth?"
"That's true. Brother, you trained so many students. Sarah came to Yinton College. Where are the others?"
"There are eight major public schools in the Kingdom of Windsor, and Yinton College is only one of them. Frederick, Maimaiti and others should have gone to other public schools. Let's contact them slowly in the future."
Ma Wei looked at Daniel: "Have your luggage been put away?"
"It has been packed up a long time ago. Melvin helped me find the class schedule."
Ma Wei knew that he was a little wronged by letting Daniel come to Yinton College to study in the fourth grade. For Daniel, who had received an elite education from the Kingdom of Frederick, the fourth-grade courses at Yinton College were all pediatrics, or rather he Unused knowledge.
However, Ma Wei asked him to come to Yin Dun College for a task, not just to attend classes.
"You should pay more attention to the children of other noble families and sell potion products to them. If you need anything, just ask Melvin to come to the grocery store and I will supply it to you."
"Don't worry, I can't handle this little thing!"
"Well, let's go then. See you on the weekend."
"See Weekend!"
After saying goodbye to Daniel, Mawei got on the return carriage. Along the way, Lai Wen showed a look of reluctance.
Although he and Daniel were tit for tat on weekdays, it was all just a joke, and no one really took action - except when they were practicing court swordsmanship.
Now that Daniel had suddenly disappeared, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
"He came back on the weekend." Ma Wei had a similar feeling, but he quickly adapted: "The courses at Yinton College are very relaxed, and there are many holidays. Maybe he will go home tomorrow."
"Going home tomorrow? Why does a school have a holiday on the second day of school?"
"You're fired."
Of course, it was impossible to take a holiday. Daniel did not come back the next day. Instead, Melvin, the hired housekeeper, came to the potion grocery store with a school tutor the next afternoon.
"Mr. Nicholas, as Jonas's guardian, our school must inform you that your brother, Jonas von Manstein, is openly selling contraband on campus!"
"...."
Looking at the sleepy toast, itchy chocolate and other products in front of him, Mavey scratched his head, asked Edward to pour tea, and asked cautiously: "Is the magic potion... considered a contraband?"
"Of course!" Wilmer, the fourth-grade tutor at Yinton College, said righteously: "Students are not allowed to bring products of unknown origin in the school! Jonas not only brought a large amount of contraband, but also seduced other students to eat it. , and finally even opened a grocery store in his dormitory and held an auction openly! This is a serious violation of rules and regulations!"
If he were the former First Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Frederick, Daniel would definitely not be able to do something like a public auction to reduce the price. But now, he has long been infected with the habits of ordinary people and has 'learned bad' from the communication.
Ma Wei also didn't expect that Daniel would start promoting the magic potion on the first day of school. It was really fast, and retribution came quickly. Most likely, he was reported by his classmates.
"Teacher Wilmer, there is something I must correct."
After giving Daniel a thumbs up in his heart, Ma Wei said with a straight face: "Sleep Toast, Itchy Chocolate and other products are all from Manstein's Potion Grocery Store. They have a provenance and are very popular among the upper class. Even Archbishop Brandon is eating it, which proves its reliability.”
"Even the Kingdom of Windsor is preparing to introduce laws regarding potions recently. Teacher Wilmer, why do you say that potion products are contraband?"
"Do you know more about potions than Archbishop Brandon and the Royal Government?"
"you...."
Tutor Wilmer choked, and was suddenly slapped by Ma Wei, "At Yinton College, everything that has nothing to do with learning is contraband!"
"Do you want tea?"
"...Of course I drink tea."
"So you also drink tea, I thought you only drank water." Ma Wei picked up the tea cup, blew away the hot air floating on it, and took a sip: "Water can quench thirst, and tea can also quench thirst. Why do you work at Yinton College? You, instead of drinking water, want to drink black tea that has nothing to do with studying?"
"I'm a tutor! Besides, Yinton College doesn't ban students from drinking tea!"
"But you just said clearly that Yinton Public School prohibits everything that has nothing to do with learning." Ma Wei put down the tea cup and said: "If you say that black tea can help students learn better, then I would like to ask, Yinton Public School allows school employees to Is the behavior of family members living on campus good for learning? Wouldn’t the family members of school employees bring things that have nothing to do with learning into the campus?”
"You are using strong words to make sense!"
"Some privileges are within the scope of everyone's permission. I believe that the development of Yinton College today is related to its unique operating system. However, I am here to clear the name of the potion." Ma Wei looked serious. Said: "Magic medicine products are harmless to the body. Through the daily metabolism of the human body, the substances inside can be excreted from the body. In my opinion, magic medicine products are more of a way to relieve students' stress. Since they are good for the body, It’s harmless, so why ban it?”
Tutor Wilmer said angrily: "These products have affected the order of the school! They are disrupting the fine traditions and campus customs accumulated by Yinton College! What's more, we do not allow students to do business! Schools are places for learning knowledge, not shopping malls !”
"Teacher Wilmer, you should know that in the near future, the royal government will issue laws on potions. At that time, potions will officially flow into thousands of households, and everyone can enjoy the benefits brought by potions. Every new The emergence of products will have an impact on order, and this is true for guns and steam engines."
Ma Weidan said calmly: "The times are progressing, and people should change the methods of maintaining order with the times, instead of inhibiting the progress of the times. If you cannot keep up with the times, you are destined to be eliminated."
"Your speech today really opened my eyes, Master Wilmer." Ma Wei stood up and walked around the living room: "I think it is necessary to establish an Educators Association."
"Teach...Educators Association?" Instructor Wilmer was shocked. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing as an Educators Association.
"Yes, it is a formal association specifically used to assess teachers and punish students. Those who pass the assessment can receive performance bonuses and corresponding professional titles issued by the association." Ma Wei said: "The current education system in the Kingdom of Windsor is too chaotic. , I want everyone to know that not everyone can be a teacher, but being a good teacher should be rewarded."
"Just to be able to sell potions on campus, you...you want to set up an Educators Association?!"
Instructor Wilmer looked at Ma Wei in disbelief, wondering if he heard wrongly.
"I agree with you. The school is not a shopping mall. Students should not sell items. Starting from today, Jonas will not sell potions on campus. At the same time, Manstein Potions Company will not sell any potions on campus. Opening a store inside a university.”
Wilmer was even more confused now. If Ma Wei wasn't selling potions on campus, why did he set up the Educators Association?
"You reminded me that education is the most important thing for a country. However, I am not from Windsor, so I will publicly propose this matter in the newspaper. It is not certain who will implement it. Maybe which prince Be able to understand the burden of education and take the initiative to shoulder this responsibility.”
Ma Wei turned around, held Tutor Wilmer's hand, and said sincerely:
"The tutor is worthy of being a tutor. His words are enlightening. It is our honor for Jonas to accept your teachings. To thank you, I am willing to donate 20,000 pounds to Yinton College to renovate the boys' school building!"
"ah?!"
