"Mr. Nicholas, without your potion, we wouldn't have been able to catch that monster out of nowhere."

In the brightly lit restaurant, the second prince Shukri, who was sitting at the top, raised his glass to Ma Weiyao, and his words were full of praise.

In fact, what the second prince Shukri said was a bit exaggerated, the millipede was parasitic in the body of Mr. Hamlai's son, as long as it was dissected, it would definitely be able to be caught, and the blood of mercury only saved the trouble of dissection, and also made Mr. Hamlai's son less painful.

The second prince said this just to draw in the relationship with Ma Wei.

"Truth be told, there are many more wonderful uses for mercury blood, and you will find out slowly, Your Highness." Ma Wei raised his glass in response to the invitation of the second prince Shukri, and said with a smile: "The witcher established by the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny is very powerful, and several team members caught the monster unscathed..."

"After all, they are carefully selected members of the church, one in a hundred, and have been trained for more than a year, and they should be strong."

The second prince didn't seem to want to mention too much about the witcher, so he suddenly changed his words, looked at Yunia, who was sitting next to Ma Wei, who was eating obediently, and said with a smile: "She is your daughter Mr. Nicholas, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you only have one child?"

"That's right."

"Oh...."

Touching his chin with his fingers, the second prince Shukri said thoughtfully: "I heard Stull say that you want to send her to Yindun College, but she is only four years old this year, and she has not reached the age of admission to Yindun School, normally, we will hire a tutor to teach a child of her age, and after the age of 13, we will send her to the public school..."

The second prince did not lie, he told the truth, Yindun Public School has an entrance age, it is a noble middle school, not a nursery school or a nursery school, and will not accept children who are too young.

Normally, the aristocracy would hire well-known teachers to come to their homes to teach their children manners and knowledge, initially at home, and then send them to public schools after the age of 13, and then to famous universities such as Cambridge and Oxford....

Children from ordinary families are not eligible to enter aristocratic schools such as Yinton School and Westminster School.

At the same time, these public schools have another name - boys' boarding schools.

They don't accept girls.

"Mr. Nicholas, you may not know that Yinton School does not accept female students, they only need boys." Baron Frederick added in time: "So it's very difficult for you to send Emma to Yinton College. ”

】

"Hey, Baron Frederick, if you have a problem, you can solve it!"

The second prince, Shukri, put down his wine glass and interjected: "Mr. Nicholas is our friend, friends should help each other, as the Duke of Oxford, I know the president of Oxford University, and I have a good relationship with the president of Yinton College, as long as I say hello and write a letter of recommendation, I can send Emma to the women's preparatory class!" ”

One sings with a red face and the other with a white face....

Ma Wei smiled, of course he knew what the women's preparatory class was, the nine most well-known public schools in the Kingdom of Windsor did not accept female students, this was a rule that had been handed down before, but the aristocratic family was not all boys, and some nobles would also spoil their daughters, at this time, some people wanted to break the rules....

In order to satisfy these aristocrats without destroying the 'fine traditions' of the major public schools, the principals came up with a way - to set up a preparatory school for girls, accept female students, and let these girls take classes in public schools (separate from boys) and receive the same education, but on the graduation certificate, the suffix will be added to the 'graduated from the women's preparatory class of the so-and-so public school', which is different from the boys' 'graduated from the so-and-so public school'.

To put it simply, a preparatory course is like a borrowed student's concept, the education is the same, but it will not give you a normal diploma.

The graduation certificate is nothing in the eyes of the nobles, what they want is connections and knowledge, and the certificate is just a piece of paper, whether there is or not.

As a result, the Preparatory School for Girls was officially established, which not only met the needs of the aristocracy but did not destroy the 'fine tradition', and everyone was happy.

Similarly, top universities such as Oxford University and Cambridge University do not accept female students, but they will open 'special audit places' for the daughters of aristocratic families and special contributors.

Stewart's fiancée, Abigail, was an auditor at Oxford University, and she was admitted because her father, Mr. Smith, donated a large sum of money to Oxford University, so that she was admitted to the audit.

Now it seems that the investment was well worth it, and Mr. Smith successfully married the Frederick family, gained the honor of nobility, and ceased to be a mere businessman.

Yunia is not qualified to attend Yonton College, but Ma Wei is fully capable of securing this 'precious' opportunity for her.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I have always been worried about Emma's schooling, and it is great that you are willing to help me."

"You're so kind, Mr. Nicholas, we're friends, aren't we?" The second prince Shukri said with a smile.

"Of course, we are friends .... One more thing, I'm afraid I'm going to ask you for help. ”

"Please just say, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

Ma Wei nodded slightly, pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "The potions industry, there are no relevant laws and regulations in the kingdom at present, this is an emerging industry, Stuart said that in the future, the Windsor Kingdom will issue a 'business qualification certificate' for the potions industry, but I am a foreigner, so I am afraid that there will be some difficulties when obtaining the 'business qualification certificate'." ”

The second prince Shukri said with deep thought: "That's the case, as the most powerful kingdom, the Kingdom of Windsor has always paid attention to legal and compliant procedures, pharmacists have unions and assessments, and surgeons like Dr. Watson are the same, of course, the potions industry cannot be an exception, and it is special..."

Baron Frederick said at the right time: "If you are a citizen of your country, it is not difficult to obtain a business qualification certificate at all, but Mr. Nicholas, you are a Frederick, the current international situation is tense, and the potions industry is very sensitive, and there are too many things involved, you are neither a believer in the Church of the Goddess of Fate, nor a native of Windsor, it is indeed a little difficult to do." ”

Ma Wei didn't take a cigarette and flip the table, but sighed and said: "The economic strength of the Windsor Kingdom is the strongest among all kingdoms, which is beyond doubt, so I want to come to your country to do business, if I can't solve the certificate problem, I'm afraid I can only go home..."

"Well, there is always a solution, Mr. Nicholas, don't worry."

The second prince, Shukri, snapped his fingers, asked the maid Nancy to hand over a cigar, and after firing the lighter, Meimei took a puff and pretended to think about it.

The dining table fell silent for a while, completely devoid of the previous warm atmosphere, everyone seemed to be thinking about things, and after a few minutes, the second prince's eyes suddenly lit up:

"There it is!"

Ma Wei immediately asked, "Your Highness, do you have a way?" ”

"Sort of, I know Archbishop Brandon, he believes in Nanel, the goddess of wealth, and he has a lot of say in the church, the rules of the potions industry are most likely formulated by the church, and if he helps, it shouldn't be difficult to get a certificate."

"Would you like to introduce me?"

"Hmm.... Archbishop Brandon has a lot of opportunities every day, and he has to be busy with a lot of things every day, I will tell him about Mr. Nicholas, as for when we will meet...."The second prince Shukry licked his lips: "I will do my best, you can wait for my good news, I believe that it will not be long before Archbishop Brandon will see you in person." ”

This trick delayed time, not only to appease Mavi's appetite, but also for another purpose - the personnel sent to the Frederick Kingdom to investigate the Manstein family would send back the news within a month, and in the absence of Mavi's identity, Archbishop Brandon should not come forward, lest he be caught.

"In the meantime, you can just be busy with the opening of the business, and leave the certificate to me." The second prince, Shukri, said: "I am sure that you will get your wish, Mr. Nicholas, and tomorrow I will ask Baron Frederick to give you a temporary certificate of doing business, so that you can smoothly transport your goods into London and prepare for the opening of the business." ”

"Then I'll look forward to your good news." Ma Wei said with a smile.

After the dinner, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, the second prince Shukri left in a carriage, because of the incident at No. 27 Flower Street, Ma Wei and the others had to spend the night at Baron Frederick's house tonight, of course Baron Frederick would not say anything, but was very welcome, isn't the guest room handy at this moment?

"Mr. Nicholas, do you still need Nancy's service tonight?" The butler, carrying a kerosene lamp, stood at the door and asked.

"I don't need it tonight, I'm tired and want to rest early." Ma Wei took off his blazer and said.

"Good dreams."

Without a word of superfluous nonsense, the butler bowed slightly, exited the room, took the door with him, and quietly walked down the stairs.

Ma Wei, who took off his suit jacket, did not rest immediately, but sat on the sofa and stared at the kerosene lamp on the table.

The flickering flames danced in his eyes, and as the minutes ticked by, the door was gently pushed open when the clock struck midnight.

"I thought you weren't going to be here tonight." Ma Wei raised his eyes and looked at the figure that appeared in the doorway.

"Actually, I planned to come in the middle of the night, but it was too late at that time, and I was afraid that you would really fall asleep."

Holmes walked into the room, closed the door casually, and sat down on the single couch beside Mavi, "You're finally back, Father." ”

"Call me Nicholas, Father, don't use it just yet."

Sherlock Holmes nodded slowly: "Mr. Nicholas.... Winter is already here, are you ready? ”

“..... Not yet, only by taking the Kingdom of Windsor will my preparations be completed. ”

Mavey thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about you, Mr. Holmes, what have you done in the past year?" ”

"I've done a lot of research into supernatural powers, and I was ..... at Britton Manor a year ago."
