"fine."
In the living room, Ma Wei picked up the tea cup and took a sip, expressionless: "For an extraordinary item to be so valued by the Church of the Three Destinies, it must not be simple. What awaits Butters Brave is an endless pursuit. We want to stop him halfway. Hu, I’m afraid it’s not that simple to steal the Thousand-Change Mask.”
Needless to say, the Thousand-Change Mask, which shocked even Ubli I, is definitely the most treasured item of the Church.
Just like how important the Tears of the Siren are to the Church of Truth, if someone steals the Tears of the Siren, how can the Church of Truth not pursue them with all their strength?
It's not that easy to cut off the beard halfway.
It's not worth taking such a big risk for an extraordinary item.
For this kind of thing, just let it happen.
Ma Wei is very open-minded and will not force things. At present, he still needs to focus on breaking into the camp of the second prince and supporting the fourth prince. He must not pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons.
The next batch of ships carrying goods will arrive at the port of London in a few days. Before then, the communication will not take action against the witcher Leon Angel. He will not replace Leon Angel until the ship docks. , and smuggled the other party onto the ship and sent him to the Romanov Kingdom.
The cooperation with Mr. Butler will also start in the next few days, and soon Ma Wei will forget about the Thousand-Change Mask.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden noise in the dark room of the house. Ma Wei put on his clothes and carried a kerosene lamp into the dark room where the meeting hall of the gods was stored. He found that the important statue of the god placed on the stone table was shaking slightly. He quickly took out the oracle silkworm, Squeeze out a few drops of blood to activate the magic circle.
Gray mist emerged from the house, and Dino's voice came out: "Father?"
"It's me, what happened?"
"Tonight, many extraordinary beings suddenly appeared in Mosk City. They appeared out of nowhere and caused quite a sensation..." Dino said quickly.
A supernatural being that suddenly appears?
Recalling the invasion of St. Paul's Cathedral, Ma Wei immediately became serious and said solemnly: "How many people are there on the other side? What is the damage situation of the church? Where is your majesty?"
"The number is not large, and the church did not suffer much loss. As soon as the opponent appeared, it attracted the attention of the Aurora Society, the Snake Tribe Babas, and the leader of the Night Wolf Clan Luo Jin. After several hours of melee, they repelled the opponent. "Dino said: "The other party seems to be coming for Your Majesty Katerina. The main battlefield is the palace. Thanks to the Aurora Society's desperate protection, Your Majesty was not captured by the other party..."
As the headquarters of the Church of Truth, Mosk's defense force is definitely the strongest. Before Ma Wei left, he asked the leaders of the Night Wolf Tribe, Snake Tribe, and Tree Tribe to stay in Mosk, just for fear of someone taking advantage of the situation.
Now it seems that the decision he made at the beginning was extremely correct and he successfully blocked the enemy's sneak attack.
As for the fact that the other party's target is Katerina...
Ma Wei had no clue for a while.
The enemies who attacked Mosk were most likely to be ancient gods, just like the enemies who attacked St. Paul's Cathedral.
Why did the ancient god forces kill Katerina?
Shouldn't their target be themselves, the Pope?
Puzzled, Ma Wei muttered: "Strengthen the defense forces around Your Majesty, and let the leaders and former gods protect Your Majesty. No matter what the enemy's purpose is, they cannot be allowed to succeed!"
"I have already ordered people to do it." Dino's voice came: "Father, how is the situation over there? Has there been any attack in London?"
"Similar to your side, the one who launches the sneak attack is most likely the ancient god force."
"The forces of the ancient gods..." Dino asked in confusion: "They were helping us not long ago, how come they broke out and started sneak attacks in the blink of an eye?"
"The help they provided before is definitely good for them. Tonight's sneak attack shows that they have a new action plan. Her Majesty Katerina is the core figure in maintaining the order of the kingdom. Her safety must be guaranteed when necessary. ....at all costs!"
Dino felt a chill in his heart, knowing that Ma Wei had given a death order.
Although the Romanov Kingdom has been unified, the situation is still turbulent, especially the border issue has not been resolved. Katerina, the king, can stabilize the generals, officials and even the people. Its importance is second only to Mavi the pope.
If Katerina is lost at this juncture, the situation in the Romanov Kingdom will be difficult to predict. By then, Mavey may have to suspend the Great Northern Alliance plan and return to the Romanov Kingdom to stabilize the situation.
The Great Northern Alliance is an important strategic action formulated by Ma Wei. Once successful, it will not only break the economic blockade of other kingdoms, but also establish a complete defense system. Its significance is far-reaching and it is also the top priority of the Church of Truth.
Plans must not be suspended unless absolutely necessary.
London was attacked, and Mosk, thousands of miles away, was also attacked. According to this logic, Berlin, Paris, Rome... the capitals of various kingdoms may be facing similar situations to London and Mosk.
This was a large-scale and premeditated sneak attack. Fortunately, the enemy did not succeed and the crisis was temporarily relieved.
"Father, Your Majesty is here. She wants to talk to you."
The gray fog above the head surged, and not long after, a familiar face appeared. There was a bit of fatigue between the brows, and the face was very pale, with no color.
"Your Majesty, long time no see." Ma Wei greeted.
"Father..." Katerina breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Don't worry about the situation on my side. Mosk will not be destroyed by a few enemies. Babas and Luo Jin are both powerful and can protect Good Mosk.”
"I also believe in them. However, Your Majesty, you should not leave the Kremlin in the recent period. Even if you do, you should be accompanied by them."
"Well, I know what I know." Katerina nodded slightly and suddenly changed the topic: "Father, I heard that you met a single duchess named Freya in London?"
"...It's Freya de Chevalier." Mavey said: "The Duchess of the Kingdom of Windsor, I contacted her to get close to the second prince."
Katerina said a meaningful 'Oh', chatted a few more words with Ma Wei about the current progress, and then cut off the communication.
Back at the palace, Katerina immediately called Bodelinov.
"Bodelinov, let our informant in the Kingdom of Windsor check on Duke Chevali of the Kingdom of Windsor."
"As ordered." Bodelinov agreed, and then asked: "Your Majesty, why do you suddenly think of investigating the Duke of Windsor?"
The Romanov Kingdom is too busy with its own government affairs, and Bodelinov doesn't think Katerina has extra time to care about the Windsor Kingdom, let alone an ordinary Duke.
It stands to reason that the Duke of the Kingdom of Windsor cannot attract Katerina's interest at all.
"I'm afraid Father Mavey will be unable to resist the temptation." Katerina said simply.
Bodlinov was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Father Mavey will never change the overall situation for a woman. Besides, Freya de Chevalier and the Church of Truth do not belong to the Church of Truth. We are in the same camp and are our enemies, so it is even more impossible for Father Mavey to hook up with her!"
"It is precisely because Father Mawei has always considered the overall situation that I am worried that he will sacrifice himself for the church." Katerina said calmly: "Dino told me that Freya de Chevalier is the second prince Shu. Kerry sent him to seduce Father Mavey, and now Father Mavey has reached cooperation with the second prince. In this case, will Father Mavey deliberately approach Freya in order to gain the trust of the second prince? "
"This...probably not..." Bodelinov didn't know what to say.
"Father Mavey is the Pope of the Church of Truth. He has a special status and must not fall into the hands of others. This is the overall situation." Katerina said solemnly: "Even if he wants to have a political marriage, it should be with me, and Not other women, Bodelinov, you... know what I mean?"
"clear!"
Bodelinov nodded heavily: "If the relationship between Freya de Chevali and Father Mavey is too close, I will send an informant to get rid of her secretly to avoid future troubles!"
"Who asked you to get rid of her?" Katerina glanced sideways and said coldly: "If Father Mavey and Duke Freya are very close, if you get rid of Duke Freya, it will definitely affect Father Marvey’s plan.”
Bodelinov was at a loss: "Then what do you mean, Your Majesty..."
"I don't care which woman Father Mavey has an affair with, as long as he doesn't fall into the other party's hands."
handle....
Bodelinov thought about it and suddenly realized that Katerina was talking about the heir.
Assuming that Freya and Father Mavey did have a relationship, then in this case, having children and having no children are completely different concepts.
Having no heirs means that Father Mavey just has some unclear relationship with Freya, which is harmless.
Once you have children, the situation immediately changes.
This is also what Katerina is most worried about.
"I know what to do, Your Majesty."
"Yeah." Katerina nodded slightly: "Go down."
"yes."
Far away in London, Ma Wei, who was lying on the bed, suddenly shivered and felt a little cold. He got up and closed the window a little.
The next day, as usual, Manstein's Potion Grocery Store opened for business. Not long after it opened, the second prince arrived in a hurry with several priests.
"Nicholas! Nicholas!"
The second prince shouted at the top of his lungs. Ma Wei raised his head from behind the counter and said in shock: "Your Highness, what are you..."
"Something happened! Have you read the newspaper?"
"I'm reading it."
Mavey shook the Times newspaper in his hand. The front page headline was the news about the attack on St. Paul's Cathedral last night.
"Last night, many prisoners escaped from St. Paul's Cathedral. Now London is under complete martial law, and demon hunters are arresting prisoners all over the city..." The second prince said quickly: "Nicholas, where do you live in East London? The public security is too bad, please move to my villa for the next few days and come back when the storm is over!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Ma Wei put down the newspaper gently and declined: "It's good for me to live in Huajie. I don't have to worry about my safety."
"I'm not kidding!" the second prince said excitedly: "Now all the nobles and gentry in London have been gathered in downtown Westminster, just to prevent accidents! I want to move there too, Nicholas, pack your things , come with me quickly!”
Ma Wei was a little surprised when he heard that all the nobles and gentry in London had gathered together. Unexpectedly, he discovered that this incident might not be as simple as he imagined.
"Is it that serious?" Ma Wei frowned and asked: "I read in the newspaper that the church can completely deal with these escaped prisoners..."
"Just believe half of the news in the newspaper!" The second prince said solemnly: "This incident is different from the last time. St. Paul's Cathedral was attacked, the treasure house was stolen, and many extraordinary items were lost. The prisoners who obtained these extraordinary items , will definitely launch a crazy act of revenge against the church, don’t hesitate any longer, Archbishop Brandon also asked me to take you there, and leave the rest to them!"
"All right...."
Ma Wei thought for a while and finally agreed to the second prince's request. If all the nobles in London gathered together, then he would really go there and join in the fun.
"You take inventory of the goods in the store. During the time I left, I took a few priests with me and asked them to stay at the grocery store. There are also demon hunters at the factory to keep an eye on it. There won't be any problems..."
In order to prevent the store from being stolen while Ma Wei was away, the second prince asked several priests accompanying him to stay. They are all Archbishop Brandon’s confidants and will not steal the goods in the store privately. If the goods in the store are lost, they must be informed in advance. Ma Wei, who has been counted, can also find someone to claim compensation.
"By the way, Archbishop Brandon also said that he wants you to prepare more sleepy toast. The nobles have gathered in downtown Westminster. This has never happened before. It is an excellent publicity opportunity. And ....”
The second prince approached Ma Wei, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and said in a low voice: "This is the list written by Pope Ubli I to you."
"List?"
Ma Wei took the note and looked at it, and found that it was the purchase list of the Church of the Three Destinies. There was only one urgently needed product - high-grade magic potion, blood of mercury!
This is the first time that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny has placed an order with Manstein’s Potion Grocery Store. The highlight is the first, which requires 1 gallon of mercury blood!
1 gallon, 4586 ml, is approximately equal to 164 ounces. Based on the price of 50 gold pounds per ounce, the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny needs to pay 8189 gold pounds to Ma Wei!
This is definitely a huge order.
"How about it?" The second prince raised his eyebrows: "Can it be made?"
"No problem. We restocked materials last time and it was more than enough to make 1 gallon of mercury blood."
Ma Wei put away the order and became more serious: "Your Highness, before going to the city of Westminster, I have to go to the factory in Havering District, deliver the materials in the store, and then guide them in making the church hall. We need the potion, and after preparing the potion, we will go to downtown Westminster."
"good!"
The second prince patted his thigh and said:
"I'll go with you, let's leave now!"
