"You're going to Paris?"

In the potions factory, the workers bottled and packed the potions they had made, and Jacob, the manager in charge of counting the goods, kept a record while looking at Ma Wei, who came to inspect beside him: "Is there any danger?" ”

"There are certainly dangers, but there are risks and benefits."

After picking up a bottle of mercury blood and conducting a random spot check to confirm the quality, Ma Wei said: "This batch of goods is of good quality, take out 10 bottles, and I will take them to Paris as samples." ”

"Yes."

Jacob recorded Mavi's request on the manifest and asked, "Is there anything else needed besides the blood of mercury?" ”

"Well, the raw materials for the Sleeping Toast, the potion Asanti prepared three bottles for me, the ten bottles of Hercules' sticks, and other potions, some of them were prepared."

This trip to Paris is not only for negotiations, but also to take the opportunity to promote the potion products of the Manstein Company, the blood of mercury is not available in other churches, and the potion that can attract the attention of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny is definitely not ordinary.

"But we have signed a supply contract with the church, and except for the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, our company cannot provide mercury blood to other churches and private individuals."

"The blood of mercury is a strategic potion, it should be strictly controlled, we don't need to supply other churches, we just need to bring the blood of mercury to them, as for what to do next, it depends on the meaning of the church."

Jacob somewhat understood that Mavi wanted to tempt other churches with mercury blood, and rely on the order of mercury blood to obtain more favorable terms for Manstein at the negotiation table!

The Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate can realize the importance of the blood of mercury, and so can the Wisdom God Cult and the Fertility God Cult, and if there is a demand, there will be a market, and if there is a market, it will be profitable.

"During the time I've been away from London, all the company's affairs have been in the hands of the finance manager, and you can discuss anything with her, but don't let Stewart find out."

Ma Wei advised: "If you are in trouble and need support, go and ask for help from the church, if you can't ask for help from the church, go to Canary Wharf and find Fat Tangerine, it will help you." ”

"Chubby orange?" Jacob wondered, "Isn't it going to Paris with you?" ”

"If it wants to stay, Felix and Jonas will go to Paris with me, and there must be a presence in London who can preside over the overall situation."

Fat Orange really wants to go to Paris with Ma Wei, and it can't wait to further expand the Cat Legion, but the time is not ripe now, the Cat Legion doesn't even control the Windsor Kingdom, so how can it expand outward?

The meal should be eaten in one bite, the road should be walked step by step, and steady and steady is the best policy.

After dealing with the problem of carrying goods, Ma Wei took a horse-drawn carriage to Eton College in the suburbs, personally found the principal, and asked Daniel for a month off, and took him out to broaden his horizons.

The principal agreed very quickly, and he had no reason to disagree with the guardian coming to ask for leave in person, not to mention that Ma Wei also had to bring him a small gift - half a deer antler that can exude a charming fragrance.

The antlers are cut from the top of the head of the incense deer, have a very high medicinal value, cut a small piece in the mouth to have the effect of aphrodisiac, refreshing, replenishing energy, is a rare treasure, enough to have a forearm length of a deer antler, the market price is 300 gold pounds, equivalent to the income of the middle class for a year.

Ma Wei, who had dissected the corpses of 3,000 transcendent creatures not long ago, had the power to mobilize the Church's potions warehouse, and of course he would not do anything to enrich his own pockets, which was bought by him with his own funds, and he had paid for it.

The reason why he wanted to give a gift to the principal was because Ma Wei knew that Daniel was selling sleeping toast in the school, and this matter had been caused by a mess before, but then it was over, and the principal had been turning a blind eye to Daniel's actions, and everyone had seen it a few times at the banquet, so it was reasonable to express it.

Hearing Ma Wei give a gift to the principal, Daniel sneered and said, "Big brother, you kept saying that you should put an end to the unhealthy trend of flattery and asking for bribes, why do you give gifts yourself now?" ”

"If you want to put an end to unhealthy practices, the key lies in the environment." Ma Wei said calmly while packing Daniel's luggage: "If the social environment has embarked on a crooked path, then the people will naturally flatter officials and compete for gifts. ”

After speaking, Ma Wei suddenly remembered something: "I'll visit Sara later, she wasn't bullied at school, right?" ”

"Who dares to bully her! She is the adopted daughter of the Crowley family, and General Toure often visits her, and last time the second son of the baron's family wanted to confess to Sarah, but General Toure found out and kicked him into the lake! ”

Hearing this, Ma Wei was also completely relieved, with the strength of the Crowley family, even if it was an adopted daughter, no one dared to bully, not to mention that Sara was a child who grew up in Lao Cai, with a quiet personality but not weak, and when it came to fighting, the children of the nobles were really not necessarily her opponents.

After visiting Sarah, Mavi took Daniel back to London, and when he passed St. Paul's Cathedral, he met Archbishop Brandon who was about to leave the house.

"Nicholas! You're here just in time, I'm just going to look for you in Flower Street! ”

Seeing Ma Wei, Archbishop Brandon said quickly: "The Wisdom God Sect has sent a message back from the Council of Gods, they agree to your request, and start a multi-church negotiation in Paris, the Fertility God Church and the Adjudication God Church will send representatives in these two days, we also have to hurry up, the king has arranged a warship to escort us." ”

"By water?"

Ma Wei raised his eyebrows, he was familiar with waterways, but he also knew in his heart that sea navigation was unpredictable, and it was not as safe as land, and besides, Bonaparte's First Empire and the Kingdom of Windsor were only separated by a strait, across the sea, was it necessary to take the waterway?

"There is an escort from the Royal Navy by water, which can send us directly to Paris, and if we take the land route, it will not be the Royal Navy that escorts us, but the army of Bonaparte's First Empire." Archbishop Brandon said: "The Royal Navy is the most elite navy in the world, and it is better to rely on yourself than to leave your security to others, what do you think?" ”

"It's fine." Ma Wei nodded: "Just listen to the Pope's arrangement." ”

"Then it's decided, leave at noon the day after tomorrow, and I'll pick you up then."

"Okay."

After Archbishop Brandon left, Daniel said: "Safety is not protected by the Royal Navy, they are just a group of ordinary people, and their combined combat effectiveness is not as good as a saint, these are all excuses!" ”

Ma Wei smiled: "There is a record of the Sirens in the Catalogue of Alien Beasts, they have appeared in the waters near the First Bonaparte Empire before, and in my opinion, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate wants to take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the negotiation and go to other people's territory to catch mermaids. ”

Mermaids may not be the most powerful transcendent creatures, but they are definitely one of the most precious transcendent creatures, many high-grade potions require the tears of mermaids, mermaids are full of treasures, the price is terrible, and there is no trace of mermaid activity in the waters of the Kingdom of Windsor, so they can only be found from other places.

In addition to the mermaid, maybe the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate has other ideas, and what they are will only be known at that time.

Back at the grocery store, Ma Wei was not idle, and immediately began to make preparations before leaving London, this time to Paris, counting the time spent on the road, at least half a month, more than a month, there are many things to prepare, and the goods in the grocery store have to be hidden

Halfway through packing, the second prince came.

"What did you say?"

In the living room, Ma Wei put a cup of hot tea in front of the second prince, his face was full of astonishment: "Your Highness, you are also going to Paris with us?" ”

"That's right!" The second prince nodded heavily: "I think clearly, how can I be absent from such an important matter?" Don't let you go on adventures alone, Nicholas! ”

"Your Highness, I think it's better for you to stay in London." Ma Wei admonished: "This time I went to Paris, maybe I will encounter danger, even the Pope has sent a saint to accompany me, in case something happens, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of you." ”

The second prince smashed his mouth and sighed: "Actually, I also know that there is danger, I went to delay you, but Baron Frederick told me that if I go with you to Paris and facilitate this negotiation, it will improve my status in the church."

"That's true." Mavi did not refute Baron Frederick's claim: "However, I still advise Your Highness to stay in London. ”

"Needless to say, Nicholas, I've made up my mind."

The second prince said with a firm attitude: "This time I went to London, with the protection of a saint and Archbishop Brandon, even the Wisdom God Cult will protect our safety, such a powerful defense force, there is no need to worry about security!" ”

That being said, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, the delegation is in the open, who knows what dangers will arise in the dark?

"By the way, Freya wants to come along, too." The second prince suddenly said, "She asked me to ask your opinion." ”

"Your Highness."

Ma Wei felt a little headache, patted his head and said, "Let's go to negotiate, not to travel. What to do with Freya? If it goes on like this, the delegation will be too bloated."

In fact, Dobreya doesn't care if she's alone, as long as she's not a threat.

Isn't it a trouble to take a big demon with you and embark on a journey full of unknowns?

"Then don't take her with you!" The second prince waved his hand and said, "I'll just take Stull and Smith." ”

"What are you taking them for?"

"Stuart was asked by Baron Frederick, he is my father-in-law, I must agree to this request, right? Smith is my economic adviser, and how could I miss him when I went to Paris to negotiate this time? ”

"Well, there is no shortage of these two rooms on the warship anyway"

Although he was a little reluctant, Ma Wei still agreed to the second prince, after all, in the eyes of others, he also brought Felix, Jonas and Emma with his family.

"Where's Yannick?" The second prince looked around: "He doesn't seem to have appeared for two days." ”

Seeing that the second prince asked about Edward's whereabouts, Ma Wei moved out with the reason he had already thought of: "Yannick has gone out with the cargo ship, and he has to contact the channel dealer regularly." ”

"Oh, it's okay, you go ahead and clean up, I'll have to go back and get ready, see you the day after tomorrow, Nicholas."

"See you the day after tomorrow, Your Highness."

Seeing off the second prince, Ma Wei packed his luggage in two hours and took out the spy contact information given to him by Katerina.

Before leaving London, of course, the problem of spies must be solved, and whether the assassination at the birthday party is Freya's self-directed and self-acting depends on the performance of the spy.

The intelligence organization established by Katerina has a unique set of codes, if you want to contact the spy, you only need to publish a rental advertisement in the newspaper, and the spy who sees the rental advertisement will naturally come to the house in the name of renting, and then you can exchange information unknowingly.

This method is very subtle and clever, but it must not be used too many times, otherwise the anti-investigation department will immediately seize the clues and monitor and arrest the targets that they often come into contact with.

Newspaper advertisements are just one of the codes, and the other is to go to a fixed bar on a Saturday night, order a Molotov cocktail, and then give a shilling to checkout, at which point the bartender will look for you for 3p change, and the inside of one of the coins hides the message that needs to be delivered, and the coins used by the spy and the bartender are special imitations, which can be opened by pinching the sides, and there is enough space inside to hold a small note.

The weight, format, size, and appearance of counterfeit coins are the same as those of normal coins, and since they are not circulated to the public, the coins in question can only be circulated in the hands of spies and intelligence officers, which is very safe.

In addition, spies have a variety of joints, some rely on prostitution joints, some connect when betting on the horse market, and even worse, they will deliberately block their own sewers and connect with the skilled workers who come to unclog the sewers.

Ma Wei was dazzled by the miscellaneous connection methods, and felt more and more that the intelligence organization established by Katerina was not simple, just from the connection method, it can be seen that these spies are all over all walks of life, maybe your neighbor and your lover are one of the intelligence officers.

Many spies don't need to communicate at all to deliver messages, so the monitoring of the Cat Legion is difficult, such as the way to pass coins to the bartender, can the cat notice this kind of detail?

Katerina gave her all the contact information of the spy, and Mavi knew that this was an act of trust, and Katerina wanted to show her loyalty to the church and dispel her doubts and concerns.

"Big brother, how do we lure out the spies in Freya's house?" Levine asked, "Do you want to advertise it in the newspaper?" ”

"The effect of the rental advertisement is too slow, and you must wait until tomorrow to attract the other party, and you should choose the method that can achieve faster results."

After hesitating, Ma Wei decided to use emergency contact, which is usually used when his identity is exposed, and ordered the spy to evacuate immediately, and the method was very simple.

Just put a fire in front of the spy and burn the token.
