London, 23 November.

Gray clouds covered the sky, the whole land was gray and black, and a slow-moving steam airship approached from a distance, beginning to drop altitude as it approached London, ready to dock in a clearing on the outskirts.

The three-day, two-night airship trip is coming to an end, and there are no crises along the way, even if there is a crisis, Ma Wei is not afraid, they are fully prepared for this trip, no matter what happens, there are ways to deal with it.

On the observation deck on the second floor, guests who packed their bags gathered and looked through the glass at the magnificent city shrouded in yellow and black mist, the political and economic center of the Kingdom of Windsor - London!

In addition to the towering churches, Mavi also saw Buckingham Palace surrounded by greenery and the Houses of Parliament on the banks of the River Thames.

"Everyone, welcome aboard the William, in 20 minutes, we will land in the eastern suburbs of London, the current temperature in London is 4C, please stay warm, I am Captain Ferdinand, it is a pleasure to spend this journey with you....."

Ferdinand, wearing a steel helmet, issued a parting declaration to the passengers, indicating that the journey was coming to an end, in fact, the experience of the steam airship was not perfect, and the excitement would be felt on the first day, and on the second and third days, the excitement would completely decline, and the narrow activity space and cramped thin air on the airship made people oppressive and breathless....

In any case, it is still very exciting to be able to take such a cross-era transportation as a steam airship, and Mavi doesn't feel anything, but Yunia is very happy, she has eaten all the snacks on the airship in these three days, and every day she has a new 'insight', and the pastry chef knows her.

The 'William' airship descended slowly, and when it was nearly a hundred meters above the ground, the demon spirit wooden box placed in Ma Wei's arms suddenly vibrated violently, trembling as if it was about to fly away, sweeping away the silence of the past.

Of course, the messy clothes will attract the attention of others, but fortunately, Ma Wei and Yunia stood in front of the window, their backs blocked the view of the others, and did not cause a commotion.

Clang!

Clang!

Two crisp sounds made everyone's eyes brush together, and Ma Wei put away the demon spirit wooden box that had returned to quiet, and said, "The railing is quite strong." ”

"What's wrong, big brother?"

If you are familiar with Ma Wei's communication, you would not think that Ma Wei would be too idle to test the strength of the railing of the airship, especially the box he just took out, which was obviously an extraordinary item.

"It's fine." Ma Wei whispered: "I should be aware of the existence of the three goddesses of fate, this thing is reminding us." ”

The Demon Spirit Wooden Box is a very 'intelligent' transcendent item, and the degree of intelligence is determined by the state of mind of the 'Treasure Hunt Demon' sealed inside at the time, and it is obvious that when approaching London, this 'Treasure Hunting Demon' had a convulsion in his brain, and frantically reminded Ma Wei to escape....

In fact, it can't be blamed, it's a little devil, how can it know Ma Wei's plan?

After two smashes, the 'Treasure Hunt Demon' in the box seemed to realize the current owner's thoughts, and no longer warned him, returning to his former silence.

"Mr. Nicholas."

Stewart, who was holding his fiancée, came over and said to Ma Wei: "After getting off the airship in a while, there will be a carriage to pick me up, if you don't mind, how about we go together?" It just so happens that my father is going to have a family dinner tonight, and I want to invite you to it...."

Peers and family dinners were all covers, and Stewart's real purpose was to bring the Maveys home and introduce them to Baron Frederick to talk about the Potions business.

"Our three brothers haven't found a place to live yet, so..."

"Don't mind, stay at my house tonight, we Frederick family love to make friends the most, and it would be a great honor for us to have you here, Mr. Nicholas." Stewart said with a smile.

"That's it...."

Ma Wei 'reluctantly' agreed: "Then bother." ”

It was already late in the evening when the steam airship arrived in London, and it was too late to look for a house at this time, so Ma Wei and the others could only stay in a hotel tonight, and since they were going to stay in a hotel, why not stay in Frederick's villa?

I saved money and talked about business, killing two birds with one stone!

At 5 o'clock in the evening, the steam airship slowly landed on the open space in the eastern suburbs, the gangway was lowered, and Ma Wei and the others just stepped out of the airship when they saw the dazzling light of the flashing lights.

Smack!

Smack!

In the rising smoke, the reporters hid behind strange props like wooden boxes, covered with black cloth on their heads, and constantly pressed the shutter, filming the appearance of the airship.

London is a highly developed city, and the extremely rare use of cameras in Mosk has become common here, and the industrial and technological differences between the Romanov kingdoms and the Windsor kingdoms can be seen.

"Mr. Nicholas, please follow me."

Led by Stewart, the Mavi men disembarked from the airship and made their way through the crowd to a luxurious carriage parked on the side of the road, a four-wheeled carriage that was wider than an ordinary carriage, with the Frédéric family crest engraved on the door, pulled by two sturdy black horses, and the seats covered with soft cushions, extremely luxurious enough to accommodate six adults.

"Master Stewart."

Beside the carriage, a gray-haired butler bowed to Stewart and asked, "Are these your friends?" ”

"That's right, Mr. Nicholas, they're my invited guests, bypassing the East End."

"Understood."

The housekeeper opened the car door and did not ask Ma Wei about the specific identities of the others, from his polite attitude, he could feel that he had received an absolute elite education.

The housekeeper of the aristocratic family is not an ordinary person, usually the child of other housekeeper families, has a certain social status, has received a good housekeeper education, is rigorous and loyal, always wears an ironed and smooth tuxedo, wears a black bow tie, white gloves, has a straight waist, and his hair is not messy....

Strictly speaking, the butler is not a servant of the nobility, but a hired 'family'.

The status of the housekeeper in the eyes of the nobles is the same as that of the family, but both parties abide by the rules, the housekeeper is the housekeeper and will never trespass, and the master is the master and will never be humble.

The top butlers all come from the family of butlers that have been passed down from generation to generation, their fathers are butlers, and their sons are also butlers, not nobles, more like nobles, or even more like nobles than nobles.

London is divided into inside and outside, a total of 33 districts, roughly divided, can be divided into southeast, northwest and central five districts, its Middle East London is the worst security, is the hell of the poor, West London is the richest, but also a paradise for the rich.

Although Frederick is a baronial family, he is also a very old hereditary aristocracy, unlike the new aristocrats who have risen in recent years and like to build mansions in the Hampstead Greens in the north-western suburbs, they bought mansions in the Yin Ling district of West London at an early age and enjoyed the aristocratic life.

When the sun completely sets, the gas lamps on the street are lit up one by one, and the dim light forms a halo in the mist, announcing the fall of night.

Perhaps because of Stewart's reluctance to engage with the pauper, the four-wheeled carriage with the family crest deliberately bypassed the chaotic and squalid East End of London, along the banks of the River Thames, past the Houses of Parliament, to the Frederick family's villa in the Yin Ling district.

The carriage drove into the courtyard, the heavy iron gate closed behind him, and in the cold wind, Ma Wei and the others had just gotten off the carriage, and the gate of the ancient mansion in front of them suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked out, and after seeing Stewart, he nodded to him: "Stuart, father and Mr. Smith are waiting for you." ”

"Brother Killarney." Seeing the man in his overcoat, Stewart asked, "Are you going out so late?" ”

"There's something going on at the company, I'm going to go out, so I don't have to wait for dinner."

With that, Killarney got into the carriage and left the mansion, which disappeared into the fog.

"Mr. Nicholas, come with me."

Holding his fiancée's waist and holding the wooden box, Stewart smiled at Mavey: "I introduce you to Father and Mr. Smith. ”

Following Stewart, Ma Wei and the others entered the mansion and came to the living room on the first floor, where two middle-aged men sat on the sofa, similar in age, looking to be in their fifties, one was wearing a crisp black suit, with a thin face, with a non-smiling smile, and the other was slightly fat, wearing a few shining gemstone rings on his hands, always smiling, harmless to humans and animals.

"Abigail! Stuart! Ha! ”

The middle-aged man, who was slightly chubby and wore several gemstone rings on his hands, stood up, hugged Stuart heavily, kissed him on the cheek, and asked in a soft tone, "My dear child, are you having fun?" ”

"Mr. Smith, we had a great time.... It was supposed to be a gift from me, but with my offense, I gave him to someone else. ”

Stewart turned his body to the side and said loudly: "Father, Mr. Smith, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Nicholas von Manstein, from the Kingdom of Frederick, these two are his younger brothers, Felix and Jonas, as well as his daughter Emma and the butler Yannick.... They are grocery merchants I met on my travels and deal in potions! ”

"Potions?"

Mr. Smith's small eyes rolled around and narrowed deeper, and even the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa without smiling frowned, and after a short hesitation, he got up and stretched out his palm to Mavi: "Welcome, I'm James Frederick, Baron." ”

"Nicholas von Manstein." Ma Wei shook hands with him and introduced himself: "Civilian. ”

"Your Excellency, Windsor speaks well."

"Thank you for the compliment, our three brothers have worked hard outside all these years and have really learned some languages."

"Since it's a guest invited by Stuart, we can't wait for it, dinner will be ready soon, let's go to the restaurant and talk slowly."

"Okay."
