Chapter 126: Baron Staley (Subscription Requested!! )
"Jayne! Jayne! My dearest nephew...."
When Mavi came to the door of the villa, he heard a heart-rending cry from inside, and in the hall, a man in a red coat knelt in front of the two coffins, weeping bitterly, calling the name of Baron Wallas, and his hoarse cry was high and low, as if he was about to lose his breath in the next second.
"He's Baron Starley." Fat Orange, who was squatting on Ma Wei's shoulder, said.
I cried very loudly, but I didn't know how much was true and how much was false.
Thinking so, Mavi walked into the hall and stood aside, and when the beautiful woman in the black veil saw him, she immediately said, "Father Mavi, this is my uncle, Baron Staley.... Uncle, this is Father Mavi, and I'm going to have him officiate at Jayne's funeral. ”
The crying became quieter, and the sad Baron Starley seemed to suppress his collapse, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, turned around, and looked at Mavi from top to bottom.
When he looked at Mavi, Mavi was also looking at him.
Guozi face, rough skin, sickly red like bloodshot in white, hooked nose, one-word mustache, hair combed neatly, back to one side....
Baron Starley is not young, forty-five years old this year, but he looks about the same as an old man in his fifties and sixties, and his face is full of vicissitudes.
If time is a pig-killing knife, then this knife, on Baron Staley's body, must be a knife crit.
"Hello, Father Mavi."
Baron Starley sniffled, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have already heard Chefna tell you what happened, and it is only fitting that you will preside over Jayne's funeral." ”
"I'm sorry about Baron Wallas." Ma Wei replied: "Your Excellency cried so loudly just now, presumably you have a very good relationship with Baron Wallas. ”
"He's my nephew.," Baron Starley's eyes turned red and choked up, "Jayne is my brother's only son, and as his uncle, I love him very much and am willing to do anything for him." ”
Ma Wei glanced at the real pocket watch in his hand, the red hands turned clockwise, around the white dial, and stopped at 8 o'clock, which proves....
Except for the fact that the blood relationship cannot be changed, none of what Baron Starley said just now is true.
Oh no, maybe the words of love for him are also true, after all, the cry of pain just now is not something that ordinary people can perform.
"The funeral still needs to be prepared, uncle, you can go to the living room with Father Mavi first." The beautiful woman said.
"Okay."
In the afternoon, the gentlemen and nobles who lived in the vicinity of the town of Tara, who received the news of Baron Wallas's death, arrived one after another, and the depressed and quiet manor house in the past was rarely lively, and there were many businessmen among them, who ostensibly came to attend the funeral and mourn Baron Wallas, but in fact...
It was to see if the beautiful woman or Baron Staley had any intention of selling the land and assets, so as to make a profit from it.
In the living room, Mavi and Baron Starley did not show up for the time being, and Baron Wallas's coffin had been carried into the carriage and prepared for burial with aristocratic etiquette.
"I heard that Your Excellency is the owner of the Black Swan Dance Troupe?"
"Yes, the Black Swan Dance Company is in a business crisis, so I funded to help them." Baron Starley said: "It's a pity that Miss Gina of the Black Swan Dance Company disappeared a few days ago, she seems to have been captured by the bad guys, and she has not been found yet, Father, have you seen her?" ”
Mavi nodded, "I did meet Miss Kinna at the winter celebration in Tobolsk... Don't you know anything about Miss Kinna's origins? ”
"In my opinion, funding the Black Swan Dance Company is just a business, so I didn't ask too much."
"Have you ever heard of the Freedom Society?" Mavi observed Baron Staley's facial expression while playing with a real pocket watch.
"Of course I've heard that the Liberty Society is still very famous in aristocratic circles." Baron Starley said disapprenously: "Anyone who joins the Freedom Society can get their help, whether you are in a business crisis or in trouble that is difficult to solve, the Freedom Society can help you, this is a secret assembly organization, very mysterious, I don't know much about it." ”
The red hand goes around the white dial and stops at 8 o'clock.
Baron Staley's answer was still a lie.
"As far as I know, Miss Kinna is a member of the Liberty Society." Ma Wei said nonsense: "Her disappearance is probably related to the Freedom Society." ”
"Really?" Baron Starley was slightly stunned: "Then I really don't know very well.... Father Mavi, you seem to know Miss Kina well, but are you..."
"No, I'm not a member of the Liberty Society."
"You seem to have a lot of interest in freedom."
Ma Wei smiled, threw a mint leaf into his mouth, and said, "yes, as you just said, who wouldn't want to join an organization that can help you get out of any trouble?" I've always wanted to find a guide, but alas...."
Baron Starley picked up the teacup, blew away the heat floating on it, and said something that shocked Mavi's heart: "Your Excellency has been a member of the Freedom Society for a long time, hasn't you?" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Ma Wei, but even the two people who were listening to the communication and Daniel were stunned, and they looked at Ma Wei at the same time, and their eyes became extremely strange.
Ma Wei frowned and looked at Baron Starley coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
"I'm sorry, I lied, but I know a lot about the Freedom Society."
Putting down the teacup, Baron Starley changed his words: "Because I know a friend who has joined the Freedom Society, no... Not only my friend, but my nephew, Baron Wallas, was also a member of the Liberty Society. ”
His eyelids jumped, and Mavi didn't believe what Baron Starley said, but when he looked down at the real pocket watch....
The red pointer was spotted and stopped at 3 o'clock.
What Baron Starley had just said was not a lie.
"Your Excellency may have misunderstood, I am not a member of the Liberty Society at all."
"Don't lie to me, there's no one else here." Baron Starley shook his head and smiled: "Yes or no, you know it in your own heart." ”
How can I be a member of the Liberty Society?
I know the memory of the original body, I know it completely, whether he joined the Freedom Society or not, don't I know yet?
Absolutely nothing!
Ma Wei silently inquired about the real pocket watch in his heart, and wanted to draw a definite conclusion, but the real pocket watch gave a conclusion....
Yes.
This thing is broken, and this thought germinates in Ma Wei's heart.
It's ridiculous!
He's a member of the Liberty Society?
Are you kidding.....
He, Mavi Enders, has been in the past 26 years from his birth to today, and he remembers all the memories clearly, except for his childhood memories that are not very clear!
If he was a member of the Liberty Society, and after returning to the Kingdom of Windsor three years ago to receive the Royal Badge of Honor from King Rhodes IV, why would a Liberty member come to his door and invite him to join the Liberty Society?
This is simply a paradoxical fact of a clash of logic!
"I can't be a member of the Liberty Society." Ma Wei put away his pocket watch and said in a firm tone: "Where did you get your news?" ”
"My friend's name is Cillian Kennedy, a native of Windsor, who used to do business with our family, and I wrote to him not long ago." Baron Starley shrugged: "The letter says that Your Excellency's name is on the list of members of the Freedom Society, which proves that Your Excellency is indeed a member of the Freedom Society. ”
"Heh...."
Ma Wei sneered: "Baron Staley, if I'm not mistaken, today, this is the first time we meet. ”
"Yes, first meeting."
"Why, then, did you ask Cillian Kennedy about me in your letters?" Ma Wei narrowed his eyes: "This doesn't make sense at all, unless.... You've been eyeing me from the very beginning, and the person you're eyeing me is the Liberty Society, so you're a member of the Liberty Society. ”
"No, no, no, I didn't ask about the letter on my own initiative, but Killian specifically told me." Baron Starley hurriedly said, "He told me about you, Father, so that I could help you secretly, so I came in a hurry just to see if you needed my help." ”
"You...."
Dongdong!
A knock on the door interrupted Mavi, and the butler walked into the living room, bowed and said, "Father Mavi, Baron Staley, the guests have arrived, and Madame asked me to ask you two to officiate at the funeral." ”
"Okay, I got it."
Mavi nodded, temporarily interrupting the conversation with Baron Staley.
According to the normal funeral process, the deceased should call the priest of the church before he dies, make a final prayer, and make a final confession, but Baron Wallas is a horizontal death and cannot carry out the final prayer, so after the corpse washing process, Mavi smeared animal fat on his forehead, limbs, torso and other parts, hoping that his soul can resist the temptation of the devil, and then stuffed a piece of pancake into the corpse's mouth as a 'sacrament', which is the so-called travel fee, so that the soul of the deceased can enter the kingdom of the gods to rest.
Ma Wei had done these tedious matters countless times before, he had long been indifferent to corpses, looking at Baron Wallas who was put into a body bag and put in a coffin, his heart was full of doubts, and only the relevant members of the Freedom Society could answer for him about his joining the Freedom Society.
Of course, he can also rely on the god of truth - Baji.
On the way to the cemetery, Ma Wei walked at the front of the line, and the communication quietly approached, asking in a low voice, "Boss, are you really a member of the Freedom Society?" ”
"I'm not."
"Then why did Baron Staley say your name was on the list?"
That's what I don't understand....
Sighing, Mavi took out his real pocket watch and whispered, "I, Mavi Enders, the founder of the Church of Truth, I am not a member of the Freedom Society. ”
Mistake.
"My name is on the list of members of the Freedom Society."
That's right.
"Look!" The communication's eyes widened: "Boss, you are indeed a member of the Freedom Society!" ”
"What's the hurry?"
Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "There is one more important thing that I haven't asked. ”
As he spoke, Ma Wei clenched his pocket watch and said silently in his heart: "I didn't take the initiative to join the Freedom Society. ”
The red hand jumps and stops at 3 o'clock.
That's right!
"My name was put on the list by someone else."
That's right!
"Whew...."
Seeing the conclusion given by the real pocket watch, Ma Wei breathed a long sigh of relief: "The situation is getting more and more complicated.... Someone put my name on the list of members of the Freedom Society...."
What do you want to do?
Why?
Mavi looked at Baron Staley, who was walking behind, with a gloomy face, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart.
