"Can you really hallucinate after eating this bread?"

In the dark potion shop, the second prince Shukri looked at the long strip of toast in front of him with a curious expression, and the housekeeper and the guards were waiting outside the door and did not enter the store.

"This is toast, Your Highness, eating it does cause hallucinations, because I added a hallucinogenic potion to it - Asanti."

"Isn't this bread?" The focus of the second prince, Shukri, has shifted subtly, and he is also a little stubborn.

"It's toast."

"It's bread."

"It's toast."

Ma Wei's tone is unmistakable: "Toast is a rectangular flour product baked in a container, the inside is white, the taste is soft, there are milk toast, butter toast, etc., the appearance is usually rectangular dome-shaped, and bread does not need to be put into the stove directly to bake, too much water evaporation, the taste is far inferior to toast." ”

“.......”

The second prince never thought that Ma Wei would be more serious with him about the matter of 'the difference between toast and bread', listening to Ma Wei's discussion, he suddenly remembered that he had seen a nobleman from Frederick's kingdom when he was a child, and at the dinner table, the nobleman also pointed to the bread and said that it was toast....

Frederick is really strict, the second prince thought to himself.

Cooperation with this kind of person, in fact, is a good thing, although they do not know how to be flexible, but they will never do it in the quality of the goods, in strict accordance with the rules and regulations, in the potion industry, a slight deviation in the dosage may cause problems, rigorous is indeed a compliment.

"Okay, it's toast." The second prince recognized the definition of the rectangular bread in front of him as toast: "You added hallucinogenic potions to it?" ”

"Yes, the hallucinogenic potion Asanti, which arrived yesterday." Ma Wei said: "After taking the hallucinogenic potion Asanti, people will see hallucinations, and the hallucinations will become stronger with the increase of the dose, and they are mildly addictive, but as long as the dosage is strictly controlled, it will bring people a feeling of happiness and relaxation, and they will not be addicted. ”

"What happens if I take a lot of it?"

"It will be addictive, crazy during the effect of the drug, but it will be extremely happy, and seeing all the longed-for dreams come true, like the whisper of the devil, too strong the effect of the drug will make people nervous and unable to sleep."

"Sounds like a drug...."

"Drugs have no effect on supernatural beings, but Asanti can, and most importantly, Asanti does not bring irreparable consequences to the human body, it only immerses people in the beauty of hallucinations and dies silently." Ma Wei said solemnly: "Because of the danger of the Asanti potion, I did not sell it directly, but added it to toast, strictly controlled the intake dose, and ensured the safety of customers. ”

The second prince, Shukri, stroked his chin, stared at the toast in front of him and thought for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Nicholas, can you sell me the Asanti potion directly?" The price is yours. ”

How could Ma Wei not guess what the second prince wanted to do with the Asanti potion?

Killing people in an invisible hallucinogenic potion that beautifully takes the life of the person who takes it, a painless death is a mercy, but the act of killing is not merciful.

Ma Wei didn't know who the second prince wanted to get rid of, and just in case, he couldn't directly submit Ahsan to the second prince anyway.

"Your Highness, I'm the only one in London who sells Asanti's hallucinogenic potions, and if you use it to deal with the enemy, won't it put us on the spotlight?"

】

There were no outsiders in the store, so Ma Wei did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "Everyone knows that I have a good relationship with Your Highness, and if something happens to me, others will suspect you for the first time, Asanti is a good thing, but you should also pay attention to how to use it." ”

"It's a real nuisance...."

"Actually, I think that with your status as the second prince, there is no need to take such low-level means as assassination, if you assassinate a politician today, will you also be assassinated tomorrow?" Ma Wei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why do you have to follow the rules? Just because if you are unscrupulous, no one can please anyone, so you have to abide by the rules and compete within a reasonable range. ”

"If only other people could think the same way...."

The second prince breathed a sigh of relief, and changed his words: "But it doesn't matter, what you said Nicholas does make sense, at present, there is only one shop in London that sells magic potions, and you will definitely be suspected if something happens, and I won't be able to run away at that time." ”

"By the way, Mr. Nicholas, where did you get these potion recipes?" The second prince asked suspiciously: "Although the Romanov Kingdom has disclosed the information on herbal medicines, it has not disclosed the recipe for making potions, and neither has the Windsor Kingdom..."

Ma Wei smiled: "Your Highness, the potion formula is indeed precious, but no matter how precious things are, there is a price, as long as I give enough benefits, it will naturally not be difficult to get the formula." ”

"What do you mean..."

"Your Highness, I was just about to tell you about this." Ma Wei led the second prince to sit down next to the sofa, and he set up a hospitality area in the store to entertain distinguished guests.

After sitting down, Ma Wei said straight to the point: "I want the potion recipe mastered by the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, Your Highness." ”

"What?" The second prince was slightly stunned, and immediately refused: "Impossible, it is impossible for the potion formula to be leaked, and it is impossible for the church to agree!" ”

"It's not a leak, it's a collaboration."

"Cooperation?"

"That's right, cooperation." The corners of Ma Wei's mouth rose, and he smiled: "I do have a lot of potion formulas in my hands, where they come from, I can't tell for the time being, but what I can guarantee is that the potion formulas I have in my hands are not owned by the Windsor Kingdom, in that case, why don't you cooperate?" ”

"Recipes are shared, everyone exchanges peacefully, so that everyone has meat to eat." Ma Wei took a sip of the teacup and moistened his throat: "As an intermediary, I signed an agreement with other collaborators that for every potion sold, as long as it is a potion made by their formula, they will be shared, that is, as long as the market is open, the more potions are sold, the more everyone will earn." ”

"The blank potion market is a big cake, Your Highness, it is impossible for me to eat it alone, this is not a benefit that a kingdom or a church can eat, but a kind of international trade, the higher the value of the potion that comes out, the more money will be earned."

Ma Wei's words can be regarded as directly clarifying to the second prince Shukri, what he said is already very clear, cooperation and win-win.

The second prince Shukri was still hesitating, he was indeed a little moved, but this matter was not something he could say, the formula was in the hands of the church, and if the church did not nod, no one could be the master.

"Nicholas, everyone is a friend, you are so honest, I have nothing to hide, I can't be the master of this matter, and I estimate that the church will not agree to hand over the potion formula."

"Your Highness, cooperation, I said it to you alone, if someone else sits here today, I will definitely not mention cooperation." Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "I am a potion merchant, even if the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate refuses to cooperate and refuses to give potion formulas, it is nothing, they will definitely sell potions, as long as it goes through my channels, I will take thirty percent of the commission, so even if there is no formula, I can still make money." ”

"When I mention cooperation, I am thinking about you, the second prince."

"For my sake?" The second prince Shukri frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Highness, Ming people don't say secret words, I am a businessman, the purpose of coming to the Windsor Kingdom is to make money, whoever is my friend, I will help whoever can provide me with benefits, before coming to the Windsor Kingdom, I also did some research, and I know the factional division within the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny.... It's no secret. ”

Ma Wei spoke slowly, not in a hurry, and said: "Supporting the second prince is Archbishop Brandon who believes in the goddess of wealth, as one of the three cardinal archbishops, his status is second only to the Pope, he must have mastered many resources, I expect that for a long time in the future, potions will become a mainstream commodity, whoever controls the potions, who controls the times, controls the wealth." ”

"Today I have a potions shop, the only one in all of London, but what about tomorrow? Will there be more potions shops in London? I anticipated the competition, so I had to grab more resources before the competition came. ”

"I don't want to get involved in the struggle for the throne of your kingdom, but I have to admit that the resources in your hands, Your Highness, can bring me more benefits, and at the same time, my business can also help Your Highness improve your influence, which is mutually beneficial."

What Ma Wei said, of course the second prince Shukri thought about it, he not only thought about it, but he thought about it as early as the day Ma Wei appeared.

Cooperating with Ma Wei to occupy the market share of potions, in exchange for his influence in the kingdom and Archbishop Brandon within the church, the second prince Shukri considered, but the cooperation mentioned by Ma Wei was a little unreliable in his opinion.

Ma Wei pursues interests, in other words, he can also cooperate with other princes, not necessarily the second prince, and what he said just now also hinted at this.

What the second prince Shukri wants is not in conflict with what Ma Wei wants, and the two sides can cooperate for a win-win situation, but....

"I need to think about it." The second prince pondered and said, "I will give you an answer in a few days, Nicholas." ”

"I hope you make a decision sooner."

Ma Wei looked at another royal carriage that appeared outside the door of the store and smiled:

"Looks like another distinguished guest has come to the door."
