"Freya"

Looking at the familiar figure across the street, Ma Wei waved his hand to let the oncoming four-wheeled carriage leave, and led Yunia and a few people through the street to Freya, who was holding a white cat: "Where are you going?" ”

"Go home." Freya asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Going to Canary Wharf, it doesn't seem to be a good way."

"It's okay, I'll send you there." Freya glanced at the butler and motioned for him to summon the coachman: "Idle is idle, anyway, you didn't attend the banquet held in the church tonight, but it was specially for the delegation to clean up the dust, I heard that the Pope is very satisfied with your work, waiting to reward you." ”

"The dinner party is not interesting, it is a dinner party all day, and it is annoying."

The carriage with the coat of arms of the Shevali family stopped at the side of the street, the butler opened the door, and the Mavi and the others got into the carriage in turn, and the carriage was widened and not only covered with soft cushions, but also more spacious than an ordinary four-wheeled carriage, and had no problem sitting five or six adult men.

Traveling with Freya, Mavi not only wanted to save money on the car, but more importantly, to ask about Maria.

Although he has left Paris and left the Bonaparte Empire, Mavi still attaches great importance to what Maria has done, and the real pocket watch proves that Maria is related to the forces of the old gods, and Freya makes Asmodeus, who is the supreme four-pillar, and Maria are both descendants of the Chevali family, think about it carefully.

There must be an inseparable connection between the two of them.

Just as Freya approached Rhodes IV, Maria approached Napoleon, and Marvi would not believe it if there was nothing wrong with it.

"Is Paris fun?" On the carriage to Canary Wharf, Freya asked.

"It's okay."

Reflecting on his experience in Paris, Mavi gave a rather reluctant assessment: "I met someone in Paris. ”

"Who?"

"Maria de Chevali."

"Oh"

Freya nodded, not showing surprise, but asked lightly: "She is my cousin, since you have met her, you must already know the story of the Chevali family, how is she?" ”

"What do you ask?"

"In every way." Freya said, "I wrote her a letter before you left for London, and if she received it, she would have taken care of you. ”

"She really takes care of us." Ma Wei smiled: "How much do you know about her?" ”

"I don't know her very well, I've never met her, I only occasionally write letters, you know, now it's just me and her in the Shevali family, it's not the time to worry about grievances."

Ma Wei nodded slowly, he didn't find any flaws, there were some problems he couldn't say clearly, otherwise it would arouse Freya's suspicions.

After talking about the customs of Paris for a while, the carriage arrived at Canary Wharf, and as evening approached, the busy workers on the wharf were already preparing for their work before leaving work, and there was no adequate lighting at night, which was not suitable for carrying goods, except in case of emergency.

"What are you doing at Canary Wharf so late?" Looking around, Freya was a little curious, and asked while petting the obedient and cute white cat in her arms.

"The other day, Manstein Potions set up a shipping company, and its headquarters are here."

Ma Wei bypassed the dock area and walked straight into the black market alley behind, at the end of the alley was a dead end, on both sides were the office areas of various maritime companies, a young man wearing a suit, combing his oily hair and wearing black-rimmed eyes stood on the left side of the alley, holding a pocket watch in his hand.

"Mr. Nicholas!" The young man came with a briefcase and said quickly: "The formalities are all done, as long as you sign the documents, 22 Canary Wharf is the property in your name."

Before leaving, Ma Wei gave Tiffany Co. the task of finding the location of the maritime company's headquarters, and she did a good job, knowing that Ma Wei returned and notified the manager who sold the house, and brought the documents the same day.

The original owner of the house has already signed the documents, and Ma Wei has also paid the final payment in advance, and with his current background, he is not afraid of others doing anything on the contract.

"Felix, sign it."

Levine was stunned for a moment: "Me? ”

"Well, I hold shares in the Manstein Potions Company, it is not appropriate to be the owner of the Manstein Maritime Company, and I can't put all my eggs in the same basket."

Mavi took out a pen and handed it to Levin: "You are the owner of the Manstein Maritime Company. ”

If Manstein Maritime and Manstein Potions were to be merged, one company would have trouble in the future, and the other company would be affected, so Mavi decided to separate the company and control Manstein Potions himself, leaving the maritime company to Levin.

Levin will soon become the Earl of the Kingdom, with his own territory, and no property in his name, which is unreasonable.

They were all his own people, and Levin didn't bother with anything about it, so he took the pen and signed the name of Felix von Manstein on the side of the young man's briefcase.

"That's it!"

The contract was in effect, and the young man smiled and blew the ink on the paper, and handed one of the documents to Mavi along with the key: "Mr. Nicholas, this is the key to house 22, you take it and I suggest you change the lock, because I am not sure if the previous owner has any other keys in his hand." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

"It should."

After sorting out his briefcase, the young man bowed to Ma Wei and the others to say goodbye, and then left the dock area with rapid steps.

Taking out the key, Ma Wei and the others came to No. 22 Canary Wharf, which is a three-story stone house that has been connected to other houses for some years, leaving traces of time on the wall, and there is a lot of moss in the corner, and the furnishings in the house are also very old, and the floor is creaking and making a sound of collapse.

"A major overhaul is needed."

After looking at the whole house, Mavi decided to replace all the floors, replace the furniture with new ones, and transform them into offices, and then hang the sign of Manstein Maritime Company

Seeing that Ma Wei and the others seemed to be staying here for a while, Freya, who seemed to have something to do, got up to say goodbye, and when she left, Ma Wei pushed open the window and whistled loudly.

Smack.

An orange cat with a round body and a buttocks wider than its shoulders landed on the windowsill, showing a lightness that did not match its figure, and a golden armband with intricate patterns could be faintly visible under the fluttering hair.

"I'm back."

"I know, I knew it as soon as you entered the city." Fat Orange stepped into the dimly lit room, jumped on the round table, opened his mouth and yawned: "During the time you left, nothing big happened in London, but if you want to say something wrong, Freya left London." ”

"Freya left London?" Ma Wei's eyelids jumped: "When did she leave, and when did she come back?" ”

"She left on the day you left, leaving Xiaobai at home and leaving her in the care of the servants, and went out of the city from the north in a carriage alone, and no one knew where she went." "She came back last night, the night before you came back," said Fat Orange. ”

"Hmm." Mavi remembered the demons that appeared on the night of his escape from Paris, and said, "It seems that she also participated in summoning the Demon Gate, but is there anyone else who has left London besides her?" ”

"Who do you ask?"

"The wife of the Fourth Prince, Chief of the Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot."

"Gulhana?" Fat Orange shook his head slowly: "No, she has been in London." ”

"Are you sure? I saw Paimon appear in Paris. ”

"I also saw Gulhana sleeping in her own home." Fat Orange said: "As for whether I see it or not, I'm not sure." ”

Fat Orange has always done things without leakage, and it is the same when he speaks, it says that he has seen it with his own eyes, that is, he has seen it with his own eyes, but the key is whether the Gulhana it sees is Gulhana herself.

The last time the Four Pillars invaded London, making the fourth prince suspect that the pillow man was a demon, Ma Wei saw his concern and asked Fat Tangerine to spy on Gulhanna, this time going to Paris, Paimon himself appeared, if Paimon didn't know how to doppelganger, it was enough to prove that Gulhanna was not Paimon's own deity.

But.

Without tangible evidence, Ma Wei didn't dare to make a conclusion, let alone him, even the fourth prince who lay with Gulhana all day long and often lived a married life was not sure!

If Gulhana is really Paimon, then the four princes!

"By the way, are the four princes back?"

"Nope." Fat Orange said: "According to the report of the cat scouts I sent out, they should have returned from the West Island at this time, and they are in Edinburgh for the final negotiations, and it is said that the negotiations are going well. ”

With Edward by his side, Ma Wei was not worried about the safety of the fourth prince, and as for the eldest prince's idea of expanding to the north and the western island, it was not worth mentioning in his opinion.

Now that the Paris Potions Agreement has been signed, the market is no longer limited to the country, the real cake is in the Central Continent, and the Manstein Potions Company has taken the lead, and the Potions market in the North and West Island is somewhat insignificant.

"Where's Blackie? How's going on Mr. Butler's? ”

Speaking of Mr. Butler, Fat Orange looked much more serious: "During the period when you left, an academic summit was held in London, and Mr. Butler kidnapped many scientists on the way to the end of the summit and took them there."

"Where?"

"Windsor Castle!"

Windsor Castle?

Isn't that the royal family's territory?

How dare Rhodes IV lend Windsor Castle to the Doomsday as a base?

"To be precise, it's the small town of Windsor, next to Windsor Castle, where James Morea plans to re-establish his laboratory and continue his research."

After a pause, Fat Orange asked, "Do you want to destroy the lab again?" ”

"Of course, the research on this modified organism cannot continue." "When they build the lab, they will not be able to continue the research," Ma said. ”

"Why wait for the lab to be built, Dad?" Yunia asked with a puzzled expression, "Isn't it better to do it now?" ”

"If we do it now, first of all, it will make James Morea realize that there is an internal ghost around him, which will endanger Xiao Hei's safety, and secondly, it takes time to establish a laboratory, and it is easy to destroy the laboratory that has not yet been built, but James Morea They can completely change places to continue their research, in this case, why don't we use the laboratory that has not yet been built to delay a little time? It can also waste their financial and material resources, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Oh oh, so that's it."

Yunia suddenly realized that Fat Tangerine's expression had not changed, and it was very clear that Ma Wei's thoughts were by no means as simple as he said, in addition to the few reasons just pointed out, there was another reason.

Professors who have been taken captive!

Saving them now won't give them much gratitude, and if you wait a while, it will make them despair and feel like they will never be able to get out of the cave.

Wouldn't it be able to brush up on a wave of favorability?

The professors who are eligible to receive invitations and come to London to participate in the academic summit are all elites in the academic community, and there are countless disciples, and it is absolutely impossible to lose by having a good relationship with such people.

"What's next for you?" Fat Orange asked, "Now that Manstein Potions is on the right track, the international market is open"

"In the next step, I plan to increase my influence and run for parliament." Ma Wei smiled and said, "The purpose of my suggestion to Ublis I to open up the cultivation, picking, and transportation of potions is here, and I want to build momentum for myself." ”

The parliamentarians of the Kingdom of Windsor are elected by voting, whoever can get the more votes from the people will be elected to the parliament, of course, Ma Wei will not do anything on the vote, he has to rely on his own ability, let the people vote for themselves willingly.

If you want the people to vote for themselves, you must first let the people know who they are, and the Manstein Potions Company is very famous, but if you pull a random person on the street and ask who the boss of the company is, nine out of ten can't answer.

The people who are really struggling above and below the poverty line do not have the energy to pay attention to the high-ranking capitalists, they only think about what to eat today and whether they can make money, and more than half of these people are illiterate and do not read newspapers.

If you want to quickly increase your popularity and get the support of the people, you must do things that are beneficial to the people, such as sending money directly, simple and rude, five shillings per person, and within half a month, the whole of London will know who the great good man Nicholas von Manstein is.

Although direct payment can save most of the troubles, it is a pity that the amount of funds in Ma Wei's hands cannot meet the choice of direct payment.

The state can give money to the people because they have the right to print money and can print money, how can individuals be compared to the state?

Due to lack of funds, Ma Wei could only give up direct money and use other means to increase his popularity and gain public support.

After thinking about it, Ma Wei felt that it was still necessary to use the resources in his hands, such as

Potions!

"The sinking of the potions market will create many jobs, and if I can seize this opportunity, I will definitely make the people remember my name thoroughly and cast a precious vote!"
