"Liviu, why don't you speak?" The Archbishop of Cumberley looked at the Archbishop of Liviou, who was sitting at the end of the table, who had been silent, Pope Ubrey I had already expressed his support for Brandon, and they occupied two votes, although Ubrey I was the Pope, but the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny had three goddesses, and the spokesmen were different, and the Pope and the three archbishops had a choice when deciding on major events.

If, like himself, Archbishop Livi does not agree to make Mavi a potions dealer for the Church, then there is room for mediation in the event of a tie.

Archbishop Liviou, who was bald, with only a few white remnants of hair, and was covered with age spots like a vulture, heard the voice of Archbishop Cambury, opened his cloudy eyes, squinted at Ma Wei in the audience, and said in an indifferent tone: "Since the Pope is willing to give him a chance, then give him a chance, I don't have any opinion." ”

"What?!" The Archbishop of Camberley incredulously: "You also support Nicholas von Manstein?" ”

"I'm not supporting him, I'm supporting the Pope's decision." Archbishop Liviu said expressionlessly: "The Church of the Goddess of Fate is the only polytheistic religion in the Central Continent, and it is easy to disagree on major matters, and for a church, the most important thing is often not who to choose, but whether the decision made can convince the public.... It doesn't do us any good to keep the church at an impasse, Cumbury. The Archbishop of Cambury was a little moved, bowed his head, and stopped arguing.

Maybe Levius is right, with the size and strength of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, even if there is a mistake in choosing a potion dealer, they still have the confidence and means to set things right, on the contrary, if everyone is unhappy because of this incident, and even there are disagreements and splits.... This is the real crisis of the church!

After realizing this, the Archbishop of Cambury no longer raised objections, and the three people who were once the same archbishops and worked together for many years stood together, what right did he, a latecomer, have to speak?

From a certain point of view, the three archbishops of Ubley, Brandon, and Leviu still have a certain tacit understanding, and at critical moments, the three of them can always stand on the same position and unanimously open to the outside world.

The last pope died unjustly. After waiting a little longer, the review of the funds was completed, and the cardinal ran with the results and handed the documents to Ubli I, waiting for the final results.

"There is no problem with the proof of funds submitted by the three bidders, everything is true, um...."Ubrey I nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Then start voting, Your Majesty, Prime Minister Winston, you two also have the right to vote." Rhodes IV and Prime Minister Winston were slightly stunned, they didn't expect the Pope to let them also participate, this is to choose a potion dealer for the church, although it has something to do with the kingdom, but it has little to do with it, it stands to reason that the king and the prime minister are only present to observe, and have no actual voting rights.

"In a few days, the Church will unite with the Cabinet to issue a decree on potions, and the potions business is closely related to the Kingdom, not only the Church's problem, so please Your Majesty and Prime Minister Winston represent the Kingdom and cast a precious vote."

"Okay, I see."

"Let's get started." Ubli I's gaze swept over everyone's faces: "Raise your hand if you support Brecon Potions." ”..............................................

"Obsessed with flowers...."The audience, looking at Ma Wei taking out a flower pot, finally understood what the second prince had done.

The Archbishop of Cambury has provided him with a number of potion recipes, including the Enchanted Flower, as a high-grade potion, the Enchanted Flower is not particularly difficult to match, but it is very precious, if it were not for the lack of the vital main ingredient - the mermaid's tears, the Great Prince would most likely choose the Enchanted Flower to participate in the bidding.

What really made him feel in crisis was not the infatuation flower that Ma Wei took out, from the level analysis, the infatuation flower that Ma Wei took out, in terms of the level of the sequence, is not as good as his enchantment pill, and it is not as good as him in practicality, but the key to the problem is the material behind the infatuation flower.... Mermaid tears!

Ma Wei, who can take out the blood of mercury, the lethargic toast, and even the tears of the mermaid, obviously hides a lot of good things, maybe he doesn't even show his hole cards.... It's a big headache to deal with this kind of person, because you never know what good things he can come up with to catch you off guard!

"It's unfathomable...."The eldest prince Charles sighed faintly, and there was a bad premonition in his heart.

"Your Highness, please relax, I think we will win." Said the Marquis of Brecken.

"Why do you think we can win?"

"It's very simple," the Marquis of Brecon smiled, "Your Highness, you think that before the death of the previous Pope, Pope Ubrey I was your supporter, and even if he has become Pope now, he will definitely help you in the right place." ”

"The second is the Archbishop of Camberley, he also supports you, although Archbishop Brandon supports Manstein Potions, but we already have two votes in our hands, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince is doomed to be out, so it is very likely that Archbishop Liviu will vote for you as well, after all, you are the orthodox of the kingdom."

"Not to mention the king and the prime minister, you are the first crown prince, in order to ensure the stability of the political situation, the prime minister will definitely support you, His Majesty the king is good at checks and balances, he will follow the Pope's decision to vote, that is, a total of 6 votes, Your Highness, you have already occupied 4 votes, and the victory is certain." The Marquis of Brecon was very confident, as if he had seen the victory of his Potions Company, but the eldest prince Charles still looked worried, smoking a cigar and silent.

At that moment, the cardinal returned, and the eyes of the people who were still waiting for it were waiting for the final result.

"According to the joint deliberation of the Church and the Kingdom, the result of the vote is as follows...."The cardinal cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Yindi Potions, 0 votes, Brecon Potions, 0 votes, Manstein Potions, 6 votes!" ”

"It's Manstein Potions that won the bid!"

"How is this possible?!" The Marquis of Brecken was stunned for a moment, this result was something he didn't expect, counting Rhodes IV and Prime Minister Winston, there were only 6 votes in total, and Manstein Potions got 6 votes, doesn't this mean.... Everyone, including the King and Prime Minister Winston, voted for Manstein Potions?

！ The Archbishop of Cambury didn't choose them either?

"Beautiful!" The second prince slapped the table excitedly, stood up reluctantly, laughed heartily, and the pressure in his heart suddenly dissipated.

"I have an objection...."The Marquis of Brecon also stood up, and when the words came to his lips, he suddenly saw the cardinal's cold gaze, and closed his mouth stupidly, his brain was hot, calm down and think about it, who are the voters?

The Pope, the three archbishops, the king and the Prime Minister.... These people are all the rulers of the Kingdom of Windsor!

He, a marquis, even a nobleman, was not qualified to challenge the joint resolution of the pope and the king. Winning the bid, Ma Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally landed, although he was light on the surface, but he was still nervous in his heart, and it was a very risky move to take out mermaid tears, but it turned out that he was right.

"Congratulations, Mr. Nicholas." Pope Ubri I personally came to Mavi and said with a smile: "After signing the contract, you will be the only designated potion dealer of the church, the church's potions arsenal will be open to you, you can price the potions, if you have any questions, you can communicate with Archbishop Brandon." "There are many advantages to being the designated distributor of the church, one of which is that you can control the church's potions import and export trade, in other words, Ma Wei now controls the church's potions business, and he wants the church to make money, and the church can make money.

But this is not a reason to act recklessly, Mavey has Archbishop Brandon at his head, although he can control the potions business, but under the watchful eye of Archbishop Brandon, if something goes wrong, the potions business will be shut down immediately.

"I see that the plan you submitted says that you plan to send representatives to negotiate with other major churches next?" Pope Ubri I asked, "Who are you going to send?" ”

"I need help from the church on this." "It's hard for me to talk to other churches on my own, so I need His Holiness the Pope to say hello to me in advance so that I can take the next step," Ma Wei said. ”

"No problem, and then?"

"After greeting, I will send trusted staff to the Kingdom of Frederick, the First Bonaparte Empire, and the Roman Republic, to the main churches of the Cult of Adjudication, the Cult of Wisdom, and the Cult of Abundance, and to discuss cooperation with their leaders." Ma Wei said word by word: "Judging from my years of travel experience, no country in the world can exhaust the mystery of potions, cooperation is the general trend, and only in this way can we turn limited resources into infinite possibilities!" ”

"Limited resources become infinite possibilities.... That's right...."Ubre I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "We have a lot of potion recipes, but many of them have not been collected, I hope that Manstein Potions Company can buy potion materials at the same time, and get potion recipes in the hands of other churches..."

"If I had the chance, I would."

"Just do your best, and I'll leave all the potions to you." Pope Ubly I took the scepter, smiled kindly, like a kind elder, and after explaining a few details, he left the chamber with the Archbishop of Cambury, the Archbishop of Leviu, the King, and Prime Minister Winston, and Archbishop Brandon remained, who was to be in charge of the signing.

Taking out the two contracts that had been prepared a long time ago, Archbishop Brandon said with a smile as he filled in the information on the contracts: "I knew you could do it, Nicholas, and now, we finally control the church's potions business!" ”

"Well done!" The second prince was very excited, it should be said that he had not calmed down since the results were announced, he circled around Ma Wei, and even ran to show off in front of the eldest prince and the third prince, the two princes didn't want to take care of him, how fast and how fast he went.

"It's not my credit alone." Ma Wei smiled, and he was also satisfied with the result.

"If you win the bid, you're going to get busy...."Archbishop Brandon signed the contract, stamped the church's special seal, pushed the contract in front of Mavi, and motioned for him to look at it: "You said in the bid that you plan to send representatives to communicate with other churches, do you have so many representatives at the current Manstein Potions Company?" ”

"My intention was to establish branches of the company in other kingdoms and vigorously promote the Potions business." Ma Wei took the cigar handed by the second prince, lit it but didn't smoke it, pinched it at his fingertips, and flipped through the contract: "The problems faced by the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny are also encountered by other churches, if you want to refine potions, collecting materials is the first premise, without materials, no matter how powerful the pharmacist is, he can only stare at the crucible, this process should not take too long, as long as the conditions are right, other churches will also get off the donkey and cooperate with us." ”

"I'm afraid that someone will get in the way...", the second prince frowned and said, "Although Charles and Andrew's Potions Company did not pass the bidding, they still want to compete with us for the potions market, and I am afraid that they will send representatives to negotiate with other churches first." ”

"So the action must be fast, and the best result is that the representative we sent out to win the contract, so that we don't need to run in person." The second prince was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand: "Let's go on a trip in person?" What do you mean? ”

"It's simple." Ma Wei shrugged: "If the representatives sent out to establish branches cannot establish cooperative relations with other churches, then I need to make a trip myself, and when the time comes, Your Highness, you had better go with me." ”

"No! It's too dangerous! Archbishop Brandon immediately said: "Nicholas, you and Your Highness must not leave London together, it should be said that both of you should stay here!" Now the situation is sensitive, it's not peaceful outside, you two don't know magic, leave together, I'm afraid something will happen! ”

"That's right!" The second prince nodded heavily, with a serious expression: "Charles and Andrew are not good stubble, they are just kind on the surface, and their methods behind their backs are more ruthless than the other!" When Arthur's mother, Princess Sophia, was shot by an arrow in the palace, one of them sent someone to do it! ”

"Princess Sophia?" His eyelids jumped, and Ma Wei asked pointedly: "I seem to have heard others mention this matter, I heard that Princess Sophia was very favored by His Majesty back then, but later died unexpectedly.... Could it be that there is something else going on in this matter? The second prince, who had already let down his guard against Ma Wei, responded: "Princess Sophia was assassinated!" Everyone knows about this, but no one dares to mention it! I suspect it was Charles, because Andrew was too young to take the risk of assassinating Princess Sophia.... Among the assassinations of Princess Sophia, Charles's biggest profit is Charles! "Regarding the assassination of Princess Sophia, the second prince does not know much information, this matter has always been a mystery, the real murderer is still at large, there is no evidence, and he can only suspect it out of thin air.

mentioned this incident, not that the second prince cared about Arthur, but that he wanted to use this incident to prove that Charles was ruthless, and even his younger brother's mother could kill him, not to mention Ma Wei, who was not related by blood?

Once Ma Wei leaves London, what awaits him is definitely a storm!
