The conversation ended unhappily. Ma Wei didn't choose one of the options, things haven't developed to that point, of course, it is impossible to rush out the soul of the communication, but just in case, trying to contact the witch god cult of the voodoo kingdom also needs to begin.

Fortunately, Dino had sent people to the Southern Continent to establish a subsidiary two months ago, nominally to purchase local potion materials, but in fact to transport potions from the Romanov Kingdom to the Southern Continent, and then use the cargo ships of the Frederick Kingdom to transport them to the Windsor Kingdom.

After changing hands many times, the origin of the potion can only be traced back to the subsidiary of the Southern Continent at most, and there is no fear of implicating the Manstein Potions Company in the event of an accident.

The establishment of subsidiaries in the southern continent is bound to have contact with the local church, the southern continent is different from the central continent, except for the voodoo kingdom, most of the ruling class exists in a tribal situation, the development status is far less than that of the central continent, and many places are still in a primitive society.

The most powerful church in the Southern Continent, that is, the Witch God Cult of the Voodoo Kingdom, they have developed their own system, although not as developed as the Windsor Kingdom, but at least they have the confidence to be independent.

Ma Wei plans to put Dino in contact with the Witch God Cult in the near future, and it is best to get acquainted with a few high-ranking members of the Church, get through the relationship, and search for the magic that extracts the soul.

If the Cult is unwilling to hand over the soul-draining magic and can't compromise them in any way, Mavi can only turn to Bhaji, or venture out to sea to find the Cult's 'holy place' in the Dead Sea, where all of the Cult's magical materials are kept, and the Cult is no exception.

With Baji's emergency plan, Ma Wei did not panic at all. At the moment, the most important thing is the Paris talks, and finding a way to deal with Asis for the communication is a matter of later information, and I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I need to take my time.

On April 15, the fleet of the Dicch returned to the waters of Bonaparte's First Empire, was stopped by a cruiser, and after identifying itself, it successfully entered the Laiyin River channel, and the other side even sent a warship to escort and guide the way.

Talks like this kind of official greeting are no different from diplomacy, and Napoleon attaches great importance to it, first because of the current strength of the Kingdom of Windsor, and secondly, because he has just been reborn and needs the support of other kings, and if the great powers of Windsor and Frederick do not recognize his position, the situation will only be more unfavorable.

It was not the first time that Mavi had entered the territory of the First Bonaparte Empire along the Laiyin River Road, the last time he visited, the First Bonaparte Empire was the Popon Kingdom under the reign of Yin Fan XIV, that is, just after the Battle of Perea.

He was a captive at the time, but now he has become an important figure in facilitating the talks. The Lyin River, the largest river in the central continent, flows through various countries and is the most famous international inland waterway, on which more than half of the industrial products are transported.

After entering the territory of Bonaparte's First Empire, the second prince and Archbishop Brandon were obviously relieved, they no longer had to worry about danger, and the Church of God of Wisdom sent people to escort them to ensure the safety of the delegates, which is the most basic demeanor of a great country.

Towards the end of the afternoon, the Knights of the Holy Silver Cross, the Church of the Cult of Wisdom that targets the witchers of the Kingdom of Windsor, arrived at St. Valeri on horseback and boarded a ship in the Somme River Valley to protect the delegation from the Kingdom of Windsor.

According to them, the delegations of the Kingdom of Frederick and the Roman Republic had arrived in Paris by train yesterday, and the talks had been postponed due to the absence of representatives of the Kingdom of Windsor.

In fact, Archbishop Brandon had arranged the time just right, and if they hadn't wasted two days and two nights chasing mermaids, they would have arrived in Paris by now.

Fortunately, the journey was relatively smooth, although there were some accidents and the loss of several sailors and witchers, but there was no loss of the main personnel, and the purpose of catching mermaids was achieved.

During this time, the squad commander of the Knights of the Holy Silver Cross asked why the Dicky fleet had been delayed for several days, and Archbishop Brandon went over to the lake under the pretext of being disoriented in the storm.

I don't know if the other party believes it or not, anyway, that's what Archbishop Brandon said. A day later, the fleet sailed smoothly along the tributaries into the Seine and arrived at the port of the Inland of Paris.

"Gross!" As soon as the ship landed, Stewart rushed out of the cabin, leaning on the side of the ship and vomiting, he had been tortured these days, he had lost a whole circle, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a skeleton who had overdosed on drugs.

The Cult of Wisdom that received the news in advance evacuated the port workers in advance, and on the empty dock, there was a group of Kingdom ministers and clergy, and the boarding board had just been lowered, and an old man wearing a blue archbishop's robe walked out of the team with a scepter in his hand, and greeted Ma Wei and the others who got off the ship with a smile: "Welcome!" Dear friends! On behalf of the Cult of Wisdom and the great Anatol, I send you my best wishes! ”

"He is Archbishop Fayin, an important figure in the Cult of Wisdom." The second prince secretly said to Ma Wei: "It is said that he is the most powerful candidate for the next pope, and he often accompanies Anatole. "The situation of the Cult of Wisdom is different from the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, who stay in their own kingdom of God all day without showing up, while Anatole almost lives in Notre Dame Cathedral and often receives believers, which is not mysterious at all.

And Fa Yin is the archbishop who accompanies Anatole all day, and is quite favored, and within the Cult of Wisdom, the clergy are more obedient to Fa Yin's orders than to the Pope.

Fa Yin has become Anatol's spokesman, with a high status and can be equal to the pope. The fact that the Cult of Wisdom sent Archbishop Fayin to greet them was proof of the importance that Anatole attached to the meeting.

In addition to Archbishop Fayin, Napoleon also sent Foreign Minister Bonova to greet the delegation, Archbishop Brandon was in charge of dealing with Archbishop Fayin, and the second prince confronted Bonova, and the conversation between them was very warm, even if it was only on the first day, it was like glue like an old friend who had not seen each other for many years.

Stewart, who got off the ship, walked a little staggering, everyone was like this, he had been on the ship for too long, he was used to the wind and waves at sea, and he was still a little fluctuating when he stepped on land, and his center of gravity was not very stable.

"Is this Mr. Nicholas von Manstein?" Under the introduction of the second prince, Foreign Minister Bonova looked at Mavi in surprise, stretched out his hands and said, "I have heard of the name of Mr. Nicholas for a long time!" The representative of Manstein Potions is in Paris, and we are always looking forward to seeing you! The interpreter translated Beaunova's words into Windsor, and after listening to them, Mavi smiled and said: "You are so gracious, it is my honor to receive the invitation, I have long wanted to meet His Majesty Napoleon." ”

"Your Majesty has always wanted to have an in-depth exchange with you." Bonova smiled and nodded, suddenly remembered something, pointed to the carriage not far ahead, and said, "By the way, Duke Shevali is waiting for you in the carriage." ”

"Who?"

"Duke Chevali." Bonois thought for a moment and said, "The Duke of Maria de Chevalli of Paris, not the Duke of Freya de Chevali of the Kingdom of Windsor, when General Crude de Chevali defected to the Kingdom of Windsor, and his younger brother Chrétien stayed in Paris and inherited the title of duke. Ma Wei looked at the second prince, and under the explanation of the other party, he figured out the situation.

The Shevali family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, originated in the Kingdom of Popong and was the king's most loyal supporters. During the Hundred Years' War between the Kingdom of Windsor and the Kingdom of Popoon, Duke François of the Chevali family died of illness, and he had two sons, the elder brother was named Crude and the younger brother was named Chrétien.

According to the custom, the title should be inherited by the elder brother Crude, but the deceased Duke François left a will, which actually allowed his younger brother Chrétien to inherit the title, and Crude, who was fighting on the front line, heard about this and led the army to the Kingdom of Windsor in a fit of rage, and since then, the Chevali family has been divided into two.

Although the elder brother defected, the king of the Popang Kingdom at that time did not punish his younger brother Chrétien, nor did he deprive him of his title, but only asked Chrétien to cross out the name of his elder brother Krud from the family tree, depriving him of the surname Chevali, and not recognizing the legitimacy of the Chevali family of the Kingdom of Windsor.

However, after so much time, even if the two families did not reconnect, the grievances between them would have long since dissipated, and no one would pursue which Chevali was the orthodox, especially the Chevali family in Paris, which had a special situation and passed on to Maria's generation.... The situation turned out to be the same as Freya's, her father and husband died one after another, leaving only a female duchess.

"In terms of generation, Maria should be Freya's cousin." The second prince said: "The other party wants to see you, and eighty percent is to inquire about Freya's current situation, so you can go there." ”

"Your Highness, don't you think it's strange?" Mavi frowned and said, "How could the matter of London come to Paris?" Even if they are well informed, why doesn't Mary look for you, Your Highness, who grew up with Freya, instead of me? Obviously, Your Highness, you know Freya better than I do! The second prince was stunned for a moment: "Yes, what is Mary looking for you?" Recalling that the Cult of Wisdom had asked Ma Wei to come to Paris in person as a representative, a bad premonition suddenly rose in the second prince's heart.

Could it be that .... The Cult of Wisdom wants to backstab the Kingdom of Windsor and win over Mavi? But this trick doesn't work at all!

Freya has personally confirmed that Ma Wei doesn't eat this set at all! Who knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the God of Wisdom!

"You'd better go see it." The second prince groaned: "Be careful not to fall for other people's schemes, and shout if you have something." ”

"Don't worry." Picking up Unia, Mavi walked to the ornate carriage parked on the side of the road, just as Archbishop Brandon and others also boarded the carriage and prepared to settle down in the center of Paris.

There was a knock on the door, and a crisp and tactful female voice sounded in the carriage: "Please come in." "The moment I opened the car door, a surging fragrance came to my face, not pungent, smelling too much and a little up.... Yunia hurriedly injected the power into Ma Wei's body, and received the blessing of the power, and Ma Wei's slightly groggy head suddenly became much more sober and returned to normal.

Play this trick... Ma Wei quietly took out a mint leaf and threw it into his mouth, confusing the judgment of the people in the car, and then boarded the carriage and sat on the vacant mat.

In the dark carriage, a woman in a black dress, a tight waist and even a masked woman sat opposite, lace hat, necklace, and fan were all black, except for a tear mole in the corner of her bare right eye, and her azure eyes looked at Ma Wei calmly, as if observing his mental state.

Seeing that Ma Wei was not affected by the aroma, the masked woman bent her eyes and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a famous potion dealer, and it really has some means." At this moment, the carriage drove forward, the copper bell hanging in the corner of the carriage jingled and rang, and the rhythmic sound waves hit like a magic sound, Ma Wei raised his eyebrows and sneered: "This kind of trick is enough to use once." ”

"I was abrupt, please forgive me." The woman raised her hand to take off the copper bell hanging in the corner, put it aside, took off her lace gloves, and handed her slender palm to Mavi: "Just call me Maria." "Why do you like to do this?

Mavi shook Maria's cold fingertips, did not kiss the back of his fingers, and said in a surging voice: "Nicholas von Manstein.... Do you want to see me? ”

"There are many people who want to see you, and I'm just one of them." Maria's eyes were mixed with a smile, rippling water, full of charm: "My cousin... Is Freya a good woman? ”

"No, she's bad." Maria Tong Kong shrank: "Where is it bad?" ”

"That's what Emma said." Mavi shrugged and threw the question directly at Yunia, "Freya is a bad woman, isn't she?" ”

"Huh?" Yunia, who was observing Maria, was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mavi blankly, opening her mouth wide and unable to say a word.

Under Maria's gaze, Yunia nodded, "That's right! Freya is a bad woman! ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Intuition!" Yunia said confidently: "My instincts are very accurate! ”

"Well...," Mary nodded slightly, lowered her eyes, and asked, "You shouldn't have come to Paris, and if you come, you won't be able to leave." ”

"Is this a trap of the Cult of Wisdom?"

"Sort of." Maria said, "Since you think Freya is a bad woman, I have nothing to worry about. With that, Maria raised her hand and knocked on the carriage, and after two muffled sounds, the carriage suddenly turned around at the intersection, broke away from the convoy, and turned into another street.

Feeling the bump beneath him, Ma Wei lifted the curtain covering the window and looked out, asking, "Where are you taking me?" ”

"Invalides, Your Majesty wants to see you." After a while, the carriage stopped on the banks of the Seine, and several soldiers stepped forward and pulled the door, and said with expressionless faces: "Monsieur Nicholas, please." Glancing at the soldier and then at Maria, Mavi led Yunia out of the carriage and followed the soldier into Les Invalides, stepping up the stairs to the underground.

While the soldiers were not paying attention, Maria, who was following him, suddenly approached and whispered, "Do you need me to write to Freya and ask her to find a way to rescue you?" ”

"Thanks, no."

"Oh...."After being refused, Maria raised her arm, stroked her neck, and said quietly, "It seems that you really don't like her." ”
