After receiving an invitation from Mr. Butler, Ma Wei left for Kingston that evening.

He wants to meet the butler who controls the underground black market for himself, and see who the other party really is.

The source also wanted to follow, but there was also news from Daniel's side that the potion goods needed to be restocked, so Ma Wei asked the source to go to Yinton College to deliver something to Daniel, and he went to Kingston with Unia and Edward.

At 9 p.m., the carriage drove into the South London district of Kingston, although the Kingston district belongs to South London, but because of its proximity to the richest West London, and at the same time it is the Royal Borough, most of the people living in the Kingston District are middle-class and social elites.

According to last year's statistics, Oxford and Cambridge universities have the first admission rate in London in Kingston, while the admission conditions of public schools are zoned, which has caused the middle class and social elites to buy school district houses in Kingston.

Mr. Butler meets Edby, a public secondary school in the heart of Kingston, and even at night, the streets are brightly lit with passing carriages and pedestrians.

The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of Edby Public High School, and the coachman jumped out of the back compartment and opened the door for Marvila: "Sir, Edby has learned it, and the fare is 4 shillings." ”

After paying the fare, the coachman left with a four-wheeled carriage, and Ma Wei stood at the school gate, not knowing where to go for a while.

The gates of Edby Middle School were locked, and there was no one to see in the middle of the night, but the street opposite was very lively, with people playing the accordion and many people around.

"Confused traveler—if you don't know where the road leads - take a look at the tavern—you might find something there—"

The singer sang loudly, played the accordion hard, and after hearing the gist of the lyrics, Mavi thought for a moment, and led Unia and Edward to the opposite street, and sure enough, at the end of the street, he found a humble tavern.

There are no signboards in the tavern, there are no signboards, if it weren't for the two drunks at the door, I'm afraid Ma Wei wouldn't have found it here, after stopping at the door for a while, Ma Wei still pushed open the door and walked in.

Wow –

The atmosphere was warm, the drinkers were drinking in the store, the shop was noisy, it was all noisy, Ma Wei didn't like too noisy environment, and if he stayed in a noisy place for too long, his head would start to swell and hurt, and his mood would become irritable.

There was everyone in the humble tavern, and even scantily clad prostitutes could be seen soliciting customers, and just when Mavi felt that he had guessed wrong, and Mr. Butler was not here, a waiter who delivered wine suddenly brought him a martini and said, "Sir, your wine." ”

"I didn't order any wine."

"It was sent to you by a gentleman." The waiter said, "That gentleman is on the second floor, you can go up from the inside." ”

The waiter pointed to the wooden door on the side of the counter and left.

Marvi handed Martini to Edward, and with a curious look on his face, he entered the wooden door and ascended the inner staircase to the second floor of the tavern.

The noise gradually drifted away, and unlike the noisy first floor, the second floor was dark, it seemed to be an attic, and the noise downstairs could be faintly heard, and in front of the window, a figure stood with his back to Ma Wei, who had ascended the attic.

"Your Excellency is Mr. Butler?"

The figure turned around, and it was a middle-aged man with a somewhat rich face, combing a neatly trimmed mustache and oily hair on his back, wearing a suit and leather shoes, holding a black cat in his hand, looking Ma Wei up and down, and after a few seconds, he said: "Mr. Nicholas von Manstein.... What are you looking for me? ”

Ever since the man turned around, Ma Wei's eyes have been on the black cat's body, and the black cat also found him, and turned his head a little embarrassed, not daring to look at him.

Blackie!

There was a wooden table in the middle of the attic, and Mr. Butler sat on one of them, took out his lighter, lit the cigar, and lit the candle on the table, which flickered and lit his face.

"You may be seated, Mr. Nicholas."

Ma Wei pulled out a chair and sat down, looked into Mr. Butler's eyes and said, "I have heard that Mr. Butler can do anything in London, as long as the remuneration is sufficient, he can help solve any trouble, is that right?" ”

"Oh... To outsiders, of course, but...," Mr. Butler smiled, and said very casually, "For you, Mr. Nicholas, the situation is a little different. ”

"Why is it different for me?"

"Because you've touched the ceiling of power." Mr. Butler said: "Behind you is the second prince Shukri, and behind the second prince is Archbishop Brandon, with their help, Mr. Nicholas, even if you want the moon in the sky, I am afraid that I can not do anything about the trouble that can make you feel confused." ”

Power is like this, in the eyes of ordinary people, Mr. Butler's hands and eyes are omnipotent, but Ma Wei is different, he is not an ordinary person, and the forces behind him, even Mr. Butler are a little jealous.

In the whole of London, the forces that dare to move Mawei can be counted on one hand.

"Your Excellency is too modest." Ma Wei replied with a smile: "Who doesn't know Mr. Butler's methods?" I think you'll be able to help me out of my troubles. ”

"What's the trouble you're in? You might as well speak up and listen to it, and if I can do it, I should do my best. Mr. Butler said.

"It's not a problem, it's just that I have a batch of potions from unknown channels that need to be transported into the Kingdom of Windsor, and I need a safe and reliable passage..."

As soon as he heard this, Mr. Butler immediately understood what Ma Wei meant, the potion of unknown channels.... Now, where can there be any unknown potions?

Between the kingdoms, there is no perfect potion law, and without a law, there is no such thing as contraband.

And Nicolas von Manstein had a temporary license from the royal family, and ordinary customs did not dare to stop it, and Mavi did not have to be afraid of anything at all, but he still came to the door and said that he had a batch of potions from unknown channels....

Based on the above conditions, it can also allow Ma Wei to tell the source of the potion with unknown channels....

Mr. Butler can only think of the Romanov Kingdom and the United States of Citi.

Not long ago, the United States of Citi had just broken out into war, the situation was chaotic, and the situation of the Romanov Kingdom was not much better, the economy was blocked, and the connection with the countries was almost cut off, and it was impossible for the Kingdom of Windsor to do business with these two kingdoms.

They are the only ones who are qualified to be the source of potions from the unknown channels in Ma Wei's mouth.

"Mr. Nicholas has a wide range of channels...."

Mr. Butler grinned and said, "It is indeed difficult for the unknown channel potion to be transported into the Windsor Kingdom, but I have a way to solve it. ”

"I knew you had a way."

"With all due respect, this shipment of yours is currently stored in.... Which pier? ”

"The Crimean seaport, where the goods were transported, was intercepted by local officials." "You should know that the situation there is tense at the moment, and if it weren't for the time crunch, I wouldn't have come to you for help," Mavi said. ”

"Hmm...."

Hearing that it was the Crimean seaport, Mr. Butler smoked his cigar with a sullen head, he was not driving up the price, he had not talked about the price at the moment, he was just thinking about how to transport the goods out of the Crimean seaport.

It would have been much easier to get out of the country if it had been a simple ban on customs clearance, but the problem was that Mavi said that his goods had been seized by local officials at the Crimean seaport, which made it more difficult to get them out.

In the last two months, the Church of Wisdom has not bothered to pay attention to the Church of Truth, and the bishops of the Church of the Ruling God, the Church of Fertility, and the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny have been living in Paris for three or four months, pestering them all day to inquire about the whereabouts of the keys.

The Kingdom of Windsor is busy provoking the war in the United States of Citi, the Kingdom of Frederick is half of his own, and there are still a bunch of problems in the Cult of Plenty, and I heard that Julius Caesar's hair is about to turn gray....

"I can find someone to clear up the local relationship and try to get the goods out." Mr. Butler exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "As long as the goods can be transported smoothly, the next thing will be much simpler, let the goods go to the southern continent first, I have a company there, and the goods will be packed and transported back to the Windsor Kingdom smoothly." ”

The last time he contacted Dino, Dino mentioned to him the current situation facing the Romanov Kingdom, all goods shipped from the Romanov Kingdom, such as wine and grain, as long as they pass through Kiev, Warsaw, Helsinki and other regions, they will be intercepted and forcibly seized by the local army.

This clue provided Ma Wei with inspiration, and he could use this discovery to entrust Mr. Butler to intervene, and as long as he used his connections, he would expose his network.

Mr. Butler's laboratory can use the Metropolitan Subway under construction to secretly excavate the ruins underground, which shows that there are big people behind him, and before he can do it, Ma Wei must find out who is standing behind Mr. Butler so that he can make a more perfect plan.

"Now, Mr. Nicholas, it's time for us to talk about compensation." Mr. Butler flicked the cigarette ash: "I help you to retrieve the goods seized in the Crimean seaport, for which you need to pay 10% of the total value of the goods as payment, what do you think?" ”

"By total value, do you mean selling price or cost price?"

"The selling price, of course." Mr. Butler smiled and said, "If it's the cost price, I'm afraid I won't even be able to earn back the capital I paid to bribe the local officials, are you right?" ”

Mavi smiled silently and changed the subject: "In addition to the seizure of goods in the Crimean seaport, I would like to talk to you about a big matter." ”

"Please."

"Do you have a channel, I mean, do you have a way...."Ma Wei narrowed his eyes, "Help me get some potion raw materials from the Windsor Kingdom?" ”

"Haven't you already partnered with the Lady of Fate Church?" Mr. Butler wondered, "They will provide you with the raw materials for the potion." ”

"I've always thought that the Great Church has a lot of scruples about trading potions, and they can't let it go, and besides, the price they offer is too high..."

"If you're in it for the cheap, I suggest you buy potion raw materials from the Goddess of Fate Church."

As soon as the cigar was bright and dark, Mr. Butler took a puff and said, "There are witchers in the Church of the Goddess of Fate, and their cost to deal with transcendent creatures is much lower than mine, if you want to buy a lot of raw materials from me, the price will only be high, not low." ”

"What if I provide you with the blood of mercury?"

Mr. Butler's eyelids jumped, and he said with some surprise: "If you are willing to sell me mercury blood at a low price, I promise to provide a large number of cheap potion raw materials!" ”

Mercury blood, a high-grade potion designed to deal with otherworldly creatures.

Its effectiveness has been tested many times.

Just when Ma Wei and Mr. Butler hit it off and planned to continue their in-depth research, a sharp alarm whistle suddenly came to mind on the street, and a small, thin figure wearing a pointed hat and the size of a dwarf came in through the open window, bowed down and said, "Master, something happened on the street, the witcher is arresting, and it will soon be searched here." ”

The conversation was interrupted, Mr. Butler was a little displeased, but there was nothing he could do, no one wanted to see the sudden accident, he got up with Xiao Hei in his arms, and said to Ma Wei: "Mr. Nicholas, I will contact you again, let's get here today." ”

"Okay."

"You can have a drink and everything will be on my account."

With that, Mr. Butler hurried out of the attic with the sharp-hated gnome, and in the blink of an eye he was gone, and as soon as they had gone, Mavi came to the window and looked out into the street below.

There were already many policemen in high boots in the streets, carrying revolvers, patrolling very nervously, and the rooftops around were full of witchers.

This is a large-scale manhunt operation, Ma Wei doesn't know what happened, judging from Mr. Housekeeper's panicked expression, he has a high probability that it has nothing to do with this matter, otherwise he would definitely not choose to invite Ma Wei to meet today.

"What should I do?" Edward looked at the witcher on the roof and said, "Sneak away or stay and watch the fun?" ”

"Anyway, it's nothing, let's see how it goes."

It was not clear from the attic, so Mavi simply left the tavern and came to the street, where it was crowded in a few minutes, and the short Yunia was completely blocked by the crowd, shouting for her father to carry her, but she couldn't do it, so Mavi had to let her ride on her neck.

"What happened to this gentleman?" Mavi asked, holding a man who was also waiting to see the excitement.

"I heard that there was an explosion at St. Paul's Cathedral!" The man said quickly: "Someone attacked St. Paul's Cathedral, broke the dungeon, and many prisoners escaped, even the Pope!" ”

"Attack on St. Paul's Cathedral?"

Ma Wei was stunned for a moment: "That is the headquarters of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, who is so bold?" ”

"Who else?"

The man glanced at Ma Wei with disdain, feeling that he was very ignorant:

"It must be those monsters who attacked Buckingham Palace two days ago! If you suffer a loss, can you not come back to seek revenge? ”
