The gas lamps hanging on the wall emitted bursts of light, brightening the whole dining room, and Baron Frederick elegantly cut off a steak and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes drifting to Mavi, who sat directly across from him.

In addition to Baron Frederick, Stewart, and his fiancées Abigail and Mr. Smith, Marvey was invited to the dinner, and in order to show the dignity of the host, Baron Frederick even invited his own wife and the wife of his eldest son, Killarney, to attend the dinner.

It's as if this is really a family feast, and everyone sitting here is a family.

Marvico was not deceived by appearances, and Baron Frederick was indeed polite and polite, but that didn't mean he had no purpose.

"Where is Mr. Nicholas's ancestral home in Frederick's kingdom?" Baron Frederick swallowed the beef in his mouth, picked up the red wine and asked.

"We come from the village of Rissa, south of the city of Fleberg, Saxony."

"Oh, Fleberg......"

Baron Frederick had heard of the city, the famous place of silver mining and the minting center of the Kingdom of Frederick: "Your Excellency is a Frederick, and you have traveled thousands of miles to the Kingdom of Windsor, is it the arrangement of the family?"

[In view of the general environment,

Ma Wei shook his head slowly and explained, "The Manstein family, only our three brothers are left, and my daughter, Emma."

"I heard that your name has the middle name "Feng", which should be a unique characteristic of the Junker nobility, but your Excellency just claimed to be a commoner..."Baron Frederick was surprised, "If there are only three of you brothers left in the Manstein family, the title should be inherited by you, Mr. Nicholas."

"A few decades ago, our family was indeed a nobleman, because of the invasion of Emperor Bonaparte, my grandfather was stripped of his title and became a commoner, so we went to settle in the village of Rissa."

"I see."

Baron Frederick nodded, without much reaction, nobles are usually stripped of their titles only when they make a big mistake, but Emperor Bonaparte a few decades ago was an exception, he led an army across the continent, captured the kingdom of Frederick, and forced other kingdoms to form an alliance to defeat him at Mosk....

During Emperor Bonaparte's occupation of Frederick's kingdom, many nobles were indeed stripped of their titles, and these nobles were usually punished for disobeying Emperor Bonaparte's protesters.

"Bonaparte's First Empire... A vile, filthy race that dares to call itself an empire!" Baron Frederick sipped his red wine and sneered and expressed his thoughts, the Windsors and the Bourbons have a feud, and scolding is a common thing, but at this moment Baron Frederick mocked Napoleon in order to promote relations with Mavi.

Of course, I don't know if there are personal emotions mixed in it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Nicholas, Napoleon will taste defeat again, and the Kingdom of Windsor can defeat him once or a second time!" Mr. Smith, who was sitting on the side, said proudly.

It was the Allies who defeated Napoleon, not the Kingdom of Windsor, which did contribute, but the root cause of Napoleon's defeat was the cold weather in the Kingdom of Romanov ....

Of course, Ma Wei would not say these words explicitly, he just smiled, silently bowed his head to eat, and waited to enter the formal topic.

Baron Frederick pulled Mavi to chat, constantly asking him about Frederick's kingdom, and secretly spying to find out Mavi's "flaws".

Mavi, who had read the Manstein family tree and was well prepared, answered the questions fluently, and even told everything he had seen and heard when he traveled around the world.... He has served in the Royal Navy for many years and has indeed traveled to many countries.

It didn't take long for Baron Frederick to turn his attention to the communication and Daniel, who was a little drunk, with ruddy cheeks and a broken Windsor language, and was very enthusiastic in the face of Baron Frederick's inquiries, and constantly inquired about the Kingdom of Windsor, and occasionally complained about the Kingdom of Frederick....

As for Daniel, Baron Frederick mourned him after a few words of conversation

Lost interest, because Daniel was too arrogant, spoke Windsor poorly, and was all swearing, more like a street hooligan than a down-and-out hereditary nobleman.

Compared to Wen and Daniel, Ma Wei is a "normal person" in the eyes of Baron Frederick.

After much probing, Baron Frederick, who did not find anything unusual, glanced at Mr. Smith beside him, and then took a small sip of his red wine glass.

Mr. Smith, who understood his understanding, asked, "Mr. Nicholas, I heard Stuart say that you three brothers have come to the Kingdom of Windsor this time to open a potions company?"

"Yes, I've only told Stuart about it, so please don't spread the word around."

Mavi raised his glass and responded to Stull's invitation to drink at the next table.

"You're a friend of Stuart, and we'll keep it a secret for you." Mr. Smith narrowed his eyes, piled up the fat on his face, and smiled, "The idea of dealing in potions is very good, I also wanted to do it before, but unfortunately the threshold is too high, I am afraid that only a businessman like you, Mr. Nicholas, who has traveled far and wide and seen the world, can do it..."

"You're overrated, I just know some friends around the world, they are willing to help me, and I am happy to bring benefits to them, and everyone can eat meat, and the business can last for a long time."

"There's meat for everyone to eat, I like this sentence!" Smith snapped his fingers, asked the maid to refill his red wine, and raised his glass to Ma Weiyao: "I wonder how you plan to deal with potions?" I mean, what did you bring with you to the Kingdom of Windsor?"

Hearing this, Baron Frederick and Stuart both stopped their knives and forks and looked at Mavi.

On the steam airship, Ma Wei has never shown his strength to Stewart, he wants to come to the Windsor Kingdom to deal with potions, he will definitely not be empty-handed, and he must have a "stone" to throw stones to ask for directions....

Under their gaze, Ma Wei put down the dishes, picked up the white napkin handed by the maid and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, and then reached into his arms and took out a sealed glass vial from his arms.

In the bottle, there is a viscous red liquid.

The blood of mercury!

Handing the glass vial to the maid, Ma Weikang motioned for everyone to circulate it.

In the dim light, Smith looked at the viscous liquid with a mercury sheen in the crimson, and asked in shock, "This is... Potions? Or is it a transcendent herb?"

"A high-grade potion of mercury blood, highly poisonous, and the transcendent creatures who take it will lose their ability to move in a short period of time and be slaughtered by others." Ma Wei said.

"Does it work on otherworldly creatures?" Smith's eyes widened and he was stunned for a moment before he said, "How much are you going to sell this bottle of mercury blood?"

"The value of high-grade potions is incalculable, especially the raw materials needed to make mercury blood are extremely difficult to obtain, including the soul obsidian condensed after the death of the undead, and it is precisely because of these harsh conditions that I give the price per 1 ounce of mercury blood..."

Ma Wei licked his lips and slowly stretched out his palm: "50 gold pounds."

"It's not cheap," Smith pondered, "With all due respect, Mr. Nicholas, how much does this vial of mercury blood cost you?"

Ma Wei didn't answer, looked directly into Smith's small eyes, realized that he had asked Smith, who shouldn't have asked, and hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious, the threshold for the potions business is too high, and I can't do it if I want to, so you don't have to worry about me competing with you or something..."

"Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

Ma Wei, who had already obtained the potion price list drawn up by Dino in advance, picked up the wine glass, leaned back in the chair, slowly shook the crimson wine, and said in a calm tone: "The price of an undead soul obsidian, my purchase price is 5 gold pounds, and the other materials are scattered together, at least 2 or 3 gold pounds..."

"It costs less than 8 gold pounds?" Smith's eyes lit up, this is a huge profit!

"Why don't you ask how much mercury blood can be made from 8 gold pounds?"

"Huh?!" Smith's body shook, and he quickly asked, "How much can you make?"

"8 gold pounds of materials can almost make about 10 ounces of mercury blood, 1 ounce sells for 50 gold pounds, and 10 ounces is 500 gold pounds." Mavey smiled, "That's profiteering, Mr. Smith."

Smith was already so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, not only him, but even Baron Frederick and Stewart also showed shocked looks.

"Isn't... Isn't there any risk?" Smith's eyes were a little red, and he was very emotional: "You set such a high price, will anyone buy it?"

"Risk, of course, but the risk comes from the collectors, and I am only responsible for the acquisition, and their risk is not my risk." Ma Wei said with a smile, "As for the price, the blood of mercury is a high-grade potion, as long as the quality of the raw materials is high enough, it can have an effect on a powerful existence like the leader of the transcendent race, and the price of such a precious thing will definitely not be low."

"You're so bad! But I like it!"

Smith looked at Baron Frederick excitedly, and the two exchanged glances, and Baron Frederick said, "Can you sell me this bottle of mercury blood?" If you have anything else in stock..."

"We're all friends, and if you like it, your Excellency, it's a welcome gift." Ma Wei smiled and said, "I have a lot more here."

"It's a blessing for us Frederick to have a friend like you!"

Baron Frederick put away the mercury blood, clapped his palms, and immediately a maid walked out of the secret door with champagne.

"Stuhl, Smith, let's raise a glass to the arrival of the three Manstein brothers!"

Stewart, Smith, Abigail and other hostesses took the champagne together, held it up to the Maveys, and said in unison:

"Welcome!"
