The unexpected situation of being out of one place before the start of the second part was something that no one expected.

According to the 'internal intelligence' obtained by the second prince, the investment fund prepared by the third prince Andrew should be 20 million gold pounds, if this figure is correct, then Yin Di Potions Company still has the possibility of continuing to bid, and the result....

The third prince Andrew was clever and secretly raised the price to 30 million!

Coupled with the security deposit, the third prince Andrew embezzled a total of 35 million gold pounds from the army, which undoubtedly touched the bottom line of the kingdom.

Everyone knows that the potions business is profitable, and everyone knows that investing 20 million gold pounds can earn it back in a short time, and if only 20 million gold pounds are embezzled, with spare funds, there is no problem in supporting the use of a year, but Andrew moved all the funds and let him succeed in the election....

Who will pay for the army's salary and procurement expenses in the next quarter?

Sure enough, after the singing session, Rhodes IV's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and although he was silent, everyone could see the anger mixed in his cloudy face.

The third prince Andrew didn't pay attention to the situation on the stage, but was complacent about the offer he gave, and looked back at the eldest prince and the second prince defiantly, failing to realize the schadenfreude on the faces of the two brothers.

"Once a quote has been submitted, it cannot be changed."

The cardinal put the three documents back in his suitcase and asked the nun to show them to the Pope, the King, and others who were seated on the stage, and then said to the three princes: "Now please submit the proof of funds and the accounts of each company." ”

Without Ma Wei talking, Tiffany, who was sitting next to her, walked up to the stage with the company's account sheet, and the eldest prince and the third prince also got up from the table, and they all brought the company's accounts.

To review the accounts, of course, the bank needs to make proof and guarantee, so the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate specially invited the financial managers of the three major banks, the Royal Bank of London, the Bank of Thames and the Central Bank of Westminster, to involve them in the process of fund review to ensure that the bidder did not provide false information.

This is also the so-called bright capital link.

As long as the funding matches the numbers in the submitted bid, there is no problem.

It takes time to review the funds, and while waiting, the cardinal announced the next step: "Candidates are asked to submit potions produced by their own company and submit them to the Church for inspection." ”

Funds are very important, but in addition to funds, the church also has to check the production capacity of the participating companies for potions, although the church side also has mastered the potion formula and can make potions independently, but everyone knows that manpower cannot be compared with machinery, and the Kingdom of Windsor can leap from a small island country to the world's leading boss, relying on advanced industrial technology!

Once the industrial production line is established, it means that the cost of potion production is reduced, and the cost of production is reduced, which means that the price of potions is lower, and the price of potions is reduced, which means that the church can buy more potions at a low price and seize a larger market!

In a way, the quality of the production of potions is greater than the money prepared!

"Submit them in order, Brecken Potions, you guys come first."

"Yes, Dear Bishop."

Under the guidance of the eldest prince's eyes, the Marquis of Brecon stood up, strode up to the stage, put the box in his hand on the table, took out the key and opened it, and everyone watched....

I took out a glass bottle, and in the bottle, there were many small black balls.

"This is a new product from the Bracken Potions Company - the Spiritual Pill!"

The Marquis of Brecon introduced loudly: "Taking one can allow the user to enter the state of out-of-body soul in a short period of time, during this period, the soul can be attached to any object or creature, as long as the soul strength of the possessed person is weaker than that of the user, the body of the possessed person can be controlled!" ”

On the stage, Rhodes IV, who heard the introduction of the Marquis of Brecken, nodded slowly, obviously very satisfied with the magical effect of the enchantment pill, Pope Ubrey I and the three archbishops had no expression on their faces, after all, the formula used by the Brecon Potions Company was from the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, and the church had long known what the effect was.

"It's very good...."The cardinal took the bottle, uncorked it, poured out a black ball the size of his thumb, put it in front of his eyes, and then sniffed the taste, and said: "The quality is good, and the details are also in place.... Well, I'll give it a try. ”

The black pill was thrown into his mouth, the cardinal closed his eyes, and it didn't take long for his body to suddenly relax, and the Marquis of Brecken's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the cardinal who was almost crooked, and leaned him back in the chair steadily.

The soul is invisible to the naked eye, but as long as the magic is gathered into the eye, the outline of the soul can be seen, and Ma Wei, who held his daughter's small hand, saw the cardinal's cyan soul rise from the shell, float in the air, and after two turns back and forth, he burrowed into the body of the nun next to him.

The nun's body shook, and her eyes suddenly lost their lustre, staring at the ground under her feet in a daze, and it took about half a minute....

The eyes that had lost their minds gradually returned to their light, but this time, their eyes were no longer clear, but became much more indifferent.

Looking at her hands and moving her limbs, the nun nodded slightly: "Yes, the effect is very good, it is definitely a high-quality potion." ”

The Marquis of Brecon hastened to respond: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency. ”

"The higher the quality of the potion, the longer it lasts, how long can the spirit pill developed by your company last?"

"This is measured according to the strength of the soul of the possessed person, and it is difficult to give an accurate number...."

Marquis Brecon pondered: "If it is calculated according to the soul strength of an ordinary adult man, a powerful being like you, Cardinal, can maintain the soul state for 1 hour if you take one spirit pill, take two pills for 2 hours, and so on. ”

"Well, it's decent."

The bishop didn't ask any more, the soul left the nun's body and returned to his body, he had already completed the demonstration, and the specific effect was seen by Pope Ublis I, who was in charge of judging, and the three archbishops, the king, and others.

"Next, Manstein ....."

"Ahem."

A light cough sounded behind him, interrupting the cardinal's words, and the cardinal turned around, saw the Pope beckoning to him, and hurriedly ran forward, bowed his head and ear....

"Yes, I see."

The cardinal returned to the stage and changed his mind: "Next, Yin Di Potions Company, please send a representative." ”

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why he skipped Ma Wei first to let himself come to power, but this was obviously the will of the pope, and the pope's order should not be disobeyed, and after hesitating, the third prince personally picked up the suitcase and came to the bishop.

"Yin Di's Potions Company's products are potions."

In front of everyone, the third prince took out a bottle of transparent liquid, which was like clear water without any color, and there were slight bubbles rising when shaking: "The strengthening potion can improve the physical strength and five senses of the user in a short time, and increase the magic..."

"Potions, potions, potions..."

The cardinal smiled with a slight surprise, and couldn't wait to take the bottle, put it in his hand and looked at it: "The refining difficulty of the strengthening potion is very high, far exceeding the medium and low-grade potions, even in the sequence of high-grade potions, it can be ranked in the middle, and the church has not been able to produce them in large quantities.... How many doses can Yin Di Potions produce per day? ”

"A gallon." The third prince replied, "There are too many steps that need to be made by hand, and our company has not yet achieved full industrialization, so the production is only 1 gallon. ”

1 gallon, 4546 ml, at a 1-ounce dose per bottle, is equivalent to 162 bottles.

This output, not too much, not too much, not too much, stuck in the middle, is really embarrassing.

Hearing that the production was only 1 gallon, the cardinal let out an 'oh', and his interest was obviously not as high as it was before, because the church could produce almost 1 gallon of fortifying potions per day, but it didn't have time to produce it in large quantities.

But there is nothing to be done, just like the third prince said, the more advanced the potion, the more complicated the production process, the difficulty of strengthening the potion is not low, there are too many manual production links, and it is difficult to achieve automation.

As for the materials, it is even more expensive, and the main materials are scarce, and the church cannot produce them in large quantities, which is one of the reasons why the enhancement potion has not been able to assemble the witcher so far.

Only by lowering the price can you enjoy more of the benefits brought by potions.

Obviously, neither the Potions Company nor the Third Prince's Potions Company can produce potions in large quantities, and this is not to blame them, because the Manstein Potions Company can't do it either, technology limits production efficiency, and only a breakthrough in science and technology can further increase the production of potions.

Disappointed, the cardinal looked at Mavi, and before he could speak, Mavi stood up, holding a strange cylindrical object covered by a black cloth, and led Yunia onto the stage.

Seeing Ma Wei coming to power, whether it was the Pope, the three archbishops, and the king, they couldn't help but straighten their waists, wanting to see what kind of surprise Ma Wei could bring them.

The blood of mercury is already a thing that can be encountered but not sought, and this time in order to bid, Ma Wei will definitely have to come up with some good things to press the bottom of the box!

"What is this?"

The cardinal stared at the cylindrical object that Ma Wei had placed on the table, and asked curiously, "Do you need to turn off the lights?" ”

"No, you don't." Ma Wei lifted the black cloth and showed a flower pot, and in the flower pot, a rose grew very delicate.

"Hah!"

The third prince, Andrew, let out a loud laugh, he thought it was something!

It's been a long time, and the relationship is just a rose!

Wrong....

Could it be a man-eating flower?

But man-eating flowers are not unusual!

The Kingdom of Windsor is not for nothing!

"Hmm...."

The cardinal bent down and looked at the rose, and found that there was a seven-colored thread at the base of the rose, and in a daze, he kept recalling similar characteristics in his mind.

On the stage, the sharp-eyed Archbishop of Cambury discovered the clues of the rose, and Tong Kong shrank slightly, and said in surprise: "Is this ...."

Archbishop Brandon smiled slightly, and behaved extremely determined: "Well, it should be the obsession with flowers." ”

"How do you know?"

"I guess, no?"

Pope Ublis I ignored the behavior of the two archbishops to tear each other down, but said in a serious tone: "Obsessed with flowers, the church can't make it at the moment, because the key materials are missing.... Mermaid tears! ”

"If Nicholas von Manstein was able to make the Flower of Infatuation, it means that he has mastered the extremely precious potion material of mermaid tears!"

"Is it precious?" King Rhodes IV did not understand the specific value of mermaid tears: "How precious? ”

"Merfolk are very proud and transcendent creatures, and you can only get a tear if they are willing, otherwise they will not shed tears even if you torture them with the cruelest methods in the world!"

Pope Ubli I said with a solemn face: "Nicholas von Manstein has been approved by the merfolk!" Or rather, he has a channel to buy mermaid tears from humans who have been approved by merfolk! ”

"Is it hard to get mermaid approval?" Rhodes IV was a little puzzled.

"It's not a question of whether it's hard or not.... It's that there is no necessary exchange of interests between merfolk and humans! Ublis I shook his head slowly: "The environment they live in does not need the help of humans, on the contrary, there are always humans who harass them for tears, ancient books record that there have been humans who deceived the feelings of mermaids for tears, and since then, mermaids no longer believe in humans!" It is impossible to get tears when you approach them! ”

The tears of the mermaid are precious, but what attracted the attention of Ubre I was not a small tear, but the terrible channel behind Mavi!

Even the people at the bottom know how precious mermaid tears are!

Where did Ma Wei get this kind of treasure?

If he can even get mermaid tears, can he also get other precious potion materials?

The Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate has mastered a lot of potion recipes, but many of the materials in them are not available in the Windsor Kingdom, and if you want to obtain them, you can only import them from other kingdoms through the potions trade, but the potion materials are such a precious thing and are strictly controlled by the church, where can you get them?

Because of this, the channels in Ma Wei's hands are particularly precious!

He can bypass the church and buy potions!

"First the blood of mercury, then the tears of mermaids, it seems that Nicholas still has a lot of good things in his hands...."

Ubri I looked at Mavi and said quietly, "Everyone, what do you think? ”

"I agree with your statement that His Holiness is crowned." The Archbishop of Cambury stroked his beard and said: "Nicholas von Manstein must have many treasures in his hands, and this kind of person has a lot of precious resources, and if we can't use him, we must get rid of him, and what we can't get, no one else can get!" ”

"Hey, what do you mean?" As soon as Archbishop Brandon heard that something was wrong, he hurriedly interrupted: "Is it wrong that people have come all the way from Frederick's Kingdom to make money in the Kingdom of Windsor?" What's more, Nicholas is already a legal citizen of the Kingdom of Windsor! I just joined the church two days ago and became a follower of Nanel, the goddess of wealth! This kind of person can be taken seriously and used well! Why did you get rid of him? ”

"I suspect he's a spy sent by another church!" said the Archbishop of Cambury.

"Fart!" Archbishop Brandon almost didn't jump up from his chair: "We've already checked the details, and there's no problem at all!" He didn't get the blessing of the gods at all! I've checked with the goddess Nande! You are slandering! ”

Archbishop Cambury sneered: "Brandon, can you use your brain to think about it, how can an ordinary businessman have so many channels to buy even mermaid tears?" Behind him, there must be a big force to support him! I suspect it's the Cult of Judgment! ”

"Stop arguing!"

Ubli I couldn't listen anymore: "Regardless of whether Nicholas von Manstein was a spy sent by other churches, it is a sure thing that he did not receive the blessing of the gods, Brandon, did he provide faith to a certain god?" ”

"Nope! I can swear to Goddess Nande, absolutely not! ”

"If he does not provide faith to the gods, nor does he receive the blessings of the gods, it means that he does not believe in the gods with all his heart, or that his faith is not firm, such a person has the value of wooing."

Ubre I muttered:

"The church needs him, and I'm willing to give him a chance!"
