9pm, South London, Canary Wharf.

"What is the reason for the 30% drop in turnover and the 40% drop in capture rate in the last quarter?"

In the flickering room with lights, Fat Orange squatted on the table, looking at the quarterly report in front of him, and his tone was very serious.

A young man standing in front of his desk said: "The main location of the company's fishing is in the fishing area of the western ocean, and the harvest has always been good in previous years, but this year I don't know what's wrong, there are often wind and waves in the sea, which causes the harvest to be lower and lower...."

Fat Orange looked at the young man in front of him wearing a white shirt with a stand-up collar and a dark black wool jacket, and said in a serious tone: "Raymond, the company's income is very important, if the income of the fishing area in the western ocean declines, the fishing boat should be allowed to go to a place where there are no wind and waves, isn't it?" ”

"But... But the sailors said that the sea god was angry and wanted to strike..."

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish." Fat Orange said: "I think they think they are making less money, and told the fishing boat owners to increase their performance commissions this quarter, and give them a bonus of 5 gold pounds for every 100 pounds of fish caught, avoid areas where wind and waves often occur, and go to the sea area with a stable climate to fish!" ”

"Got it."

The young man in the room was named Raymond Wood, one of the believers in the Church of Truth, a year ago, Raymond Wood was an idle street thug, since joining the Church of Truth and leaving New Ross, as if he had woken up, began to learn the carpenter's trade from his old man, and married a wife, when he learned that Jacob's fishing company needed manpower, he immediately ran to help.

Originally, Raymond Wood also wanted to follow Jacob into the Manstein Potions Company, but Fat Orange couldn't come forward, and the fishing company needed a reliable person to help take care of it, so he stayed, and only he knew that the boss behind the entire fishing company was a cat.

Raymond Wood didn't even tell his wife about this.

"By the way, inform the owner of the fishing boat that if you catch lampreys, release them."

"Release?" Raymond was stunned for a moment: "The price of lampreys in the market is very expensive, many nobles like to eat lampreys, a half-pound lamprey can be sold for a high price of 2 gold pounds, which is equivalent to the most valuable fish in the sea, why want..."

"There is no need to ask so much, and I see that the company's plan says that it will carry out ocean whaling business in the second half of the year?"

"Yes." Raymond nodded: "Jacob.... Mr. Steven found that distant-water fishing boats were the most profitable, so he wanted to send them out to catch salmon, tuna and whales, which were valuable fish and would make hundreds of gold pounds on each trip. ”

"Cancel it."

"This one is also canceled?!"

Fat orange licked his paws and said: "The whaling business has been cancelled, and the distant-water fishing vessel has been carried out according to the original plan, in short, our company should not catch lampreys and whales, these two kinds of fish, this time is different from the past, and some risks must be avoided." ”

Lamprey, is a genus of Edward's volume.

If the fishing company under the name of Fat Orange catches lampreys on a large scale, even if Edward doesn't say it, he will definitely be dissatisfied in his heart, and Fat Orange will not make trouble for such a trivial matter, which is more important, it can still carry it clearly.

As for the whales ....

In the far north, it was the whale Zu Sesida who helped them repel the North Sea monster Kraken, the fat orange was a cat who only knew how to repay the favor, Ma Wei took it in, and it helped the Church of Truth, and the whale Zu Sesida helped it, so it did not allow the fishing boats below to hunt whales.

It's very simple.

After discussing the company's business, Raymond left, he wanted to rush back to Dunmore City overnight, convey Fat Tangerine's order, after changing the boss, Steven Fishing Company officially changed its name to Holy Trinity Ocean Fishing Company, at first Xiao Hei proposed to change its name to Yuduoduo Fishery Company, but the name sounded too stupid, and finally after careful consideration, it was decided to use November 1, the goddess's descending, as the company's new name.

After changing the name, the company can't be limited to the small seaside town of Dunmore, Fat Orange plans to let the company move to London for development, anyway, London is close to the Thames River, the transportation is convenient, and there is no problem at all to move over.

After Raymond left, Fat Orange jumped off the desk and walked towards the door with his tail up, intending to visit Xiao Hei to see how he was doing.

As soon as the four soles of their feet stepped out of the door, their bodies suddenly froze, and the fat orange looked around, the street was empty, and he couldn't see his five fingers, which was not a problem at all for the fat orange who had been mixing the streets and alleys all year round, it ate mice, and its night vision was much better than that of a domestic cat like Xiao Hei, and his sense of smell was also very keen.

In the air, a familiar smell wafted through the air.

"Friday?" Fat Orange asked tentatively, "Is that you?" ”

"Meow...."

In the darkness, a blue shadow rushed out of the alley and ran to Fat Orange, hanging his head, not daring to say a word.

Seeing Friday, Fat Orange's tense body relaxed slightly: "Why are you here?" Didn't you go and stare at the eyeliner sent out by Mr. Butler? ”

Before Friday could speak, Fat Orange suddenly stepped forward with an arrow, blocking it behind him, looking at the darkness ahead vigilantly, his back arched, and he took an attacking stance.

"Come out!"

The golden hoops on the limbs shone with dazzling light in the darkness, and Fat Tangerine did not hesitate to activate the water mist magic, it didn't know who the enemy was, but it was definitely not good!

The traces were exposed, Ma Wei naturally had no idea of continuing to hide, his body rose from the mud shadow magic, and the smell spread all of a sudden, smelling the familiar smell, Fat Tangerine was stunned for a moment, and then lifted the magic.

"It's you."

"Am I not at it?"

Fat Orange didn't answer Ma Wei, glanced at Friday, who was silent, wanting to be an invisible cat, and sneered: "You brought them here?" ”

"He.... They're holding me into a treat! Friday said with an aggrieved face: "A male cat without balls, is it still a male cat?" Xiaomei is still waiting for me at home..."

"Forget it, even if you don't bring them over, you'll have to meet sooner or later."

Fat Orange forgave Friday's actions, there was nothing it could do if it didn't, if Friday really dared to disobey the order, Mavi would definitely smack its balls, this is not a joke.

"I didn't expect you to use Canary Wharf as a base."

Observing the surrounding environment, Ma Wei is very satisfied, the factory where the fat orange is located is located in the Canary Wharf area, most of the surrounding warehouses or old stone houses, not residential areas, after nightfall, except for the night watchman, few people are active in the vicinity, the concealment is very strong, and it is obviously a good choice to use this as a base.

As he was talking, a dim light lit up in the distance, and it seemed that someone was coming with a kerosene lamp, seeing this, Fat Tangerine temporarily canceled the plan to meet Xiao Hei, took Ma Wei and a few people back to the factory, and closed the door.

"I heard Friday say, you sent it to spy on Mr. Butler's man? Have you noticed Mr. Butler? ”

Mavi didn't ask Fat Orange why he didn't go back to London to look for him, the reason was already told on Friday, and Fat Orange must have had his own plans.

"I did come into contact with Mr. Butler." Fat Orange said: "A month ago, I returned to London with Xiao Hei and Xiao Mei with Friday, and I wanted to go directly to Baron Frederick's villa to find you, but you have already left, London is too big, I want to find you, and I need the help of other cats, so I took Xiao Hei and them to start integrating the stray cats in London...."

What happened, Ma Wei gradually understood.

A month ago, Fat Orange and Xiao Hei took Friday and Xiaomei to explore London, London is a huge city, and there are not 10,000 but 8,000 stray cats living here, especially around the docks and warehouses, which are often haunted by cats.

Fat Orange, who has the blessing of the goddess, took Xiao Hei, a group of foreign cats, to invade the territory of London's stray cats, because they mastered the fishing company, there were small dried fish and canned food, and soon subdued a large group of little brothers, based on Canary Wharf, and established their own power.

The more chaotic the place, the more stray cats, in the process of integrating London stray cats, Xiao Hei inadvertently came into contact with the underground black market, and after informing Fat Orange, he successfully attracted the attention of Fat Orange, and the stray cats living in London all said that there is a forbidden area in London, which is the underground black market.

The street where the underground black market is located is one of the forbidden places that cats don't want to approach, because since last year, the cats on that street have always died bizarrely, and the cats refuse to approach the underground black market anymore.

Ordinary cats are afraid of the underground black market, but Fat Orange is not afraid, and on the night of learning the address of the underground black market, it took Xiao Hei to the Kingston district of South London, where the black market is located, and here, met a man.

Mr. Butler!

"When I investigated the underground black market with Xiao Hei, I met a man, at first we didn't know that he was Mr. Housekeeper, only that he had a high prestige in the black market, and the carriage he was riding in was wearing a black curtain, and the people who saw the carriage avoided it, but it was not a noble carriage, so I secretly followed Xiao Hei with him."

"We followed the carriage all the way to Newham Street, and saw the carriage enter a factory, ostensibly for making toys, but in fact... There's a secret lab hidden underground! ”

"Secret lab?" Ma Wei was curious: "What experiment is Mr. Butler doing?" ”

"In vivo experiments!"

Fat Orange's eyes were solemn, not at all joking: "In the laboratory, there are many strange specimens, all of which are different from each other, like many kinds of creatures are stitched together, some are human bodies, pig heads, and some are horse bodies with human heads.... In addition to these, we have also found the corpses of many otherworldly beings! ”

With a slight frown, Ma Wei immediately realized that things were not so simple, and the discovery of Fat Tangerine was enough to show that Mr. Butler was conducting some kind of terrible and bloody experiment.

"They will raise animals, such as mice, cats and dogs, and other ordinary animals, put them in cages, and inject them with an unknown liquid extracted from the corpses of supernatural beings once a day, and the animals injected with the liquid will die quickly." Fat Orange said: "In addition to animals, they will also experiment on living people!" ”

"Extracting an unknown liquid from a transcendent being..."

Ma Wei didn't know what Mr. Butler was studying, but these experiments were undoubtedly terrifying.

"And then?"

"The underground laboratory is very large, I investigated separately with Xiao Hei, and in the course of the investigation, Xiao Hei was caught and put in a cage...."

"Wait." Edward wondered: "Xiao Hei is also a cat who has received the gift of the goddess, and it is also an extraordinary creature, how can it be caught by ordinary people?" ”

"There should be some kind of magic array in the laboratory that suppresses power, and after entering, Xiao Hei and I can't exert our strength, and we become like ordinary cats...."Fat Tangerine's beard trembled slightly: "Xiao Hei was also injected with that strange liquid, but it didn't die like other experiments, and managed to survive, this discovery caught the attention of Mr. Butler, Xiao Hei seemed to be the only living person who survived their experiment." ”

The ordinary animals injected with the unknown liquid have all died, but Xiao Hei is fine, this phenomenon can only be explained by Xiao Hei's acceptance of the gift of the goddess, and it was also Yunia's gift that played an effect when he fought against the curse in New Ross City.

"Xiao Hei, who has nothing to do, was released from the cage by them, no longer conducts experiments, and is fed by Mr. Butler himself, Xiao Hei you know, he knows how to observe words and emotions too well, and soon won the trust of Mr. Butler and obtained the privilege of entering and leaving the laboratory...."

Hearing this, Ma Wei seemed to be able to imagine Xiao Hei's infinite appearance, and I have to say that a docile, well-behaved and clingy cat is indeed very likable.

"After that, I let Xiao Hei stay with Mr. Butler, and while continuing to investigate the laboratory, I will find out Mr. Butler's information, which I think is very important." Fat Tangerine recalled and said: "The tools in the laboratory are also very strange, they are all the kind of big silver boxes that are integrated with the ground, and there are many magic arrays engraved on them, which are very different from the surrounding environment, I guess where they were moved from, using an energy source that I have never seen before..."

Big silver box?

Carved with a lot of magic arrays?

Merge with the ground?

Why do these conditions sound so familiar?

In the midst of his deep groaning, Mavi suddenly remembered the Golden Age ruins he had discovered in Londinium, and the houses there were very much in line with the characteristics mentioned by Fat Orange!

Could it be that the tools used in the lab were dug up from Londinium?

Mavi was shocked and felt impossible, but the ruins of Londinium had been buried deep underground for 10,000 years, and it was normal for others to find out.

At the very least, Ma Wei was certain that before they discovered the ruins, members of the Old Gods had taken the statue of the North Sea Giant Kraken.

Aren't they eyeing the underground black market also because of the power of the ancient gods?

Is it strange that Mr. Butler, who is related to the forces of the Old Gods, uses tools dug up from the ruins of Londinium?

"Did you think of something?" Fat Tangerine noticed the strangeness of Ma Wei's expression.

"Is the underground lab huge?"

"It's huge."

"Is it deep?"

"According to Xiao Hei's report, there are 7 floors in the underground laboratory, and the depth is about 30 meters based on 4 meters per floor."

30 meters, it is obvious that it is impossible to reach Londinium, which is buried 2,700 meters underground, and to transport things from Lendinium, at least a deep well is needed to go straight underground.

】

If the tools used in the laboratory were really transported from Lendeneume, where is the entrance to the underground?

Could it be under the lab?

"Are you sure the lab is only seven stories deep?"

"I'm sure." Fat Tangerine said firmly: "Xiao Hei has been by Mr. Housekeeper's side for almost a month, and the situation in the underground laboratory has long been explored by it, and there is indeed no deeper place." ”

If the entrance to the deep well is not in the laboratory, how does Mr. Butler transport the heavy tools to the laboratory?

The eyeliner of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate can be seen everywhere in London, and it is certainly impossible to blatantly transport, in this case, Mr. Butler must have his own unique passage.

Ma Wei remembered that Mr. Butler had used the funeral train to transport werewolves, which could transport vehicles, but the target was too big to be easily detected.....

"Huh?"

It occurred to Ma Wei that in addition to the train, London has a unique mode of transportation....

Metropolitan Metro!

If the entrance to the deep well and the transportation channel are hidden underground, there is no fear of being discovered by the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, and everything makes sense!
