Chapter 62: The Witcher (Subscription Requested!! )
"Mr. Nicholas! Welcome! ”
When Ma Wei entered the villa, he happened to see Smith, a jewelry merchant walking towards him, he was still smiling, his eyes were hidden in the folds of flesh, so that people could not see his eyes, but his smile was more sincere than yesterday.
Smith gently hugged Mavey as a sign of his warm affection - the Windsors did not like to use a handshake as a courtesy, and in their eyes, the Frederick man's favorite handshake was usually only used when some kind of agreement was reached.
What Ma Wei didn't expect was that there was a surge of ..... floating on Smith's body Taste of cinnamon pepper rose essential oil.
It is the same perfume as Dino.
For a while, Ma Wei couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and began to doubt his own taste, could it really be that he had a problem with his taste?
Wrong....
Spices were incomparably more expensive in the Middle Ages, comparable to gold, and were even used as a currency for trading at one time, and even today spices are not cheap, so the rich would spray black pepper, cinnamon and other spices on their bodies to show their status and wealth.
This custom is still circulating today.
Whether it is Dino or Smith, they may not think that the perfume of cinnamon pepper rose essential oil smells good, they do this to win themselves more bargaining chips, after all, they are not aristocrats, they can only talk about wealth.
If you think about it this way, the prevalence of cinnamon pepper rose essential oil can be explained....
"Oh! Mr. Holmes! And Dr. Watson! You're here too! ”
After hugging Ma Wei, Smith found Sherlock Holmes and Watson following behind, and his small eyes flashed with a gleam, and he opened a few points: "Huh? Mr. Holmes, your sleeve...."
Although the wound healed under the effect of the immortal realm, the broken clothes could not be repaired, and the sleeves of Holmes's left arm were all missing, and there were still blood stains on the shoulder, which looked a little embarrassed.
"Someone attacked you?" Mr. Smith frowned, "Who is so bold?" Dare to attack the famous Sherlock Holmes in London? ”
In the city of London, there are good and bad public security, the worst place for public security is East London, and the security in other areas is reasonable, but even in East London, where public security is the most chaotic, there are very few gangsters who dare to attack a well-known person like Sherlock Holmes.
The reason is very simple, Holmes knows a lot of nobles, and his influence is not low, and he is the 'Knight of the Garter' personally awarded by King Rhodes IV, which is an honor that is better than that of the nobility, and only those who have made outstanding contributions to the Kingdom of Windsor can obtain it, and the 'Royal Medal of Honor' that Mavi received at the beginning was one level lower than the 'Knight of the Garter'.
In fact, according to the results of Ma Wei and others, it is not surprising that they were awarded the title of 'Knight of the Garter', but there were too many surviving crew members of the St. Martiel's fleet and they could not bring back the gold and silver treasures, so Rhodes IV did not award them the honor of 'Knight of the Garter'.
Ordinary people are attacked by gangsters, and the police in Scotland Yard will not be too careful, but if the nobles are attacked, Scotland Yard will all be dispatched that night, and the murderer must be caught.
So in Smith's eyes, it was incredible that Sherlock Holmes, who had won the honor of 'Knight of the Garter', was attacked in London!
Unless the gangsters don't want to live anymore!
"It's a long story, where is Baron Frederick? I'll talk about it when I see him. ”
"Okay, they should be in the study, let's go up."
In the study on the second floor, Mavi saw Baron Frederick and a young man with slightly curly hair and deep eye sockets, his hair was black, the same as King Rhodes IV, and even the appearance was similar to that of Rhodes IV, with a square jaw and a high nose bridge.....
Judging from his appearance alone, this young man is very ordinary and inconspicuous in the crowd, but the momentum on his body is definitely something that can only be cultivated by being in a high position all year round.
Mavi knew him, and at the investiture ceremony four years ago, he had met a young man, Shukry Windsor, the second prince of the Kingdom of Windsor, and the second in line to the throne.
The half-brother of the fourth prince, Arthur.
Arthur's appearance, inherited from his mother, his long golden hair, and his handsome face, these are the characteristics of the Germanic people, and he bears no resemblance to Rhodes IV, as if he were not related by blood.
Arthur's mother, Princess Sovia, is from the Kingdom of Frederick and is the aunt of the current King William V, while Katerina's mother, and Princess Sophia are sisters and are both members of the royal family....
The relationship is a little chaotic, but there is a little bit of maternal doubt - whether it is Katerina, Daniel, Arthur, they are all relatives.
"Mr. Nicholas, let me introduce you, this is the second prince of the Kingdom of Windsor, the Duke of Oxford, and Prince Shukry!" Baron Frederick said.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
Holding his right chest with his left hand, taking off his hat with his right hand, and bowing forward slightly and nodding, Mavi made a standard aristocratic etiquette, the Manstein family used to be a Junker nobleman, and he had no problem using the etiquette between nobles.
"Don't be restrained, Mr. Nicholas, this is not a court, and there is no need for cumbersome etiquette."
The second prince Shukri behaved very approachable, he put down his cigar, got up and walked to Ma Wei and the others, smiled and said: "Today, please don't treat me as a prince, let's get along as friends, how about it?" ”
"Listen to me."
"And Mr. Holmes..... What's wrong with your sleeve? ”
When the eyes of the second prince, Shukri, fell on Holmes's bare left arm, he asked the same question as Smith.
Poorly dressed, but extremely rude, of course, the second prince Shukry will not directly say that Sherlock Holmes is rude, but the other party is obviously wearing a formal suit, and the formal suit is missing a sleeve.....
This kind of scene, the second prince Shukry has never encountered a few times.
"Let Mr. Nicholas do it." Holmes bowed his head and said, "He knows more than I do." ”
"That's right, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince." "This morning," said Mavi, "I took Emma, Felix and Jonas to 27 Flower Street in Hamlets, East London, where the owner, Mr. Hamlai Futz, was willing to sell the restaurant for a price.... 100 gold pounds. ”
Hearing this amount, the second prince Shukri was obviously stunned for a moment, no matter how cheap and remote a restaurant in London is, it is impossible to lower the price of 1000 gold pounds, 100 gold pounds.... It's no different from robbery.
"This price is real, I also think it is incredible, after learning some information, I found out that there is a problem with that house...."
Ma Wei sighed, and told the story in great detail, after hearing that there was a 'demon' in the house, the second prince Shukri finally couldn't help it: "Mr. Nicholas, are you sure?" It's London! How can there be demons lurking under the eyes of the church! ”
"It's true, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, not only me, Felix and they all saw it, Holmes's arm was injured by that demon, fortunately we ran fast and escaped by luck."
"Yes, yes!" Yunia, who had been silent beside her father, suddenly exclaimed, "That demon is so terrible! With cracked teeth and a pair of big red eyes! ”
Stewart also chimed in in time: "Your Highness, when I went to Flower Street, Mr. Holmes was indeed injured, and even the bones of his left arm were exposed. ”
With Stewart's evidence, the second prince Shukry and Baron Frederick and others believed Ma Wei's words, Ma Wei didn't need to deceive them, everything was right, and Stuart was not blind.
"Demons.... There is a demon in London...."
The second prince Shukri thought for a moment, and his expression gradually became serious: "This is not a trivial matter, the appearance of the demon is afraid that it will endanger the safety of the residents of London, Baron Frederick, the dinner is going to be postponed, I will return to the palace immediately, report the matter, and let the Holy See send a witcher to deal with that demon.... That's right! ”
His eyes lit up, and the second prince Shukri took out the mercury blood in his arms: "We have high-grade potions!" Mr. Nicholas says that the blood of mercury can incapacitate a transcendent being for a short period of time, so why not use it to catch that demon? Right! Give it a try! ”
The Demon Hunter is a special organization set up by the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate to deal with transcendent existences, and the responsibilities of the Aurora Society are the same, specializing in dealing with the transcendent existence in the Kingdom of Windsor, in addition to the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate and the Church of Truth, other churches also have similar organizations, such as the Holy Light Mithril Society of the Cult of the God of Abundance, and the Holy Silver Cross Knights of the Wisdom God Cult....
"Mr. Nicholas, when I go to the palace to ask for the help of the witchers, you and Holmes will wait for us at the corner of Flower Street first, and we will arrive as fast as possible! Baron Frederick, inform Scotland Yard and tell them to evacuate the residents of Flower Street and cordon off that area! ”
"Yes!"
