After returning from the small town of Beckensfield, Mavi began to prepare for the campaign, and took a few old workers from the factory to the Church of Eden, where the potion materials were stored, to get some seeds, and consulted the relevant personnel of the church about potion cultivation.

Although Ma Wei has not read the classics on potion cultivation, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate is quite accomplished in this area, and among the ancient books that have been passed down is a book "Magical Herbs", which records many common potion materials and artificial cultivation methods.

Herbs with special effects are very dangerous, but as long as you master the correct planting method, you can cultivate them on a large scale like crops, and some herbs cannot be cultivated artificially, such as the wolf's head black, unless you take the antidote potion for the first time, otherwise humans who are close to the wolf's head will be infected with black poison until they become human wolves.

Of course, Ma Wei borrowed "Magical Herbs", and according to the above content, the herbs were divided into three categories: harmless, harmful, and high-risk.

With the help of Archbishop Brandon, the Times, the Daily Mail, and other high-circulation newspapers published detailed information on herbal medicine, and at the same time required churches to give lectures at a fixed mass every Friday, and then draw pictures and posted them on the streets to warn illiterate residents.

Two days later, under the impetus of the Church, the Council urgently passed the Potions Trade Act, allowing citizens to buy and sell potions freely, but the sale of potions, the purchase of potions, and the storage of potions must pass the review of the church, and after passing, a business qualification certificate will be issued.

At the same time, the Church and the Manstein Potions Company began selling harmless herbal seeds and cultivating farmland.

The emergence of the new outlet caused an uproar in London, and many businessmen saw it as a good opportunity to make a fortune, and frantically bought land and set up companies, hoping to follow the Manstein Potions Company to make some money

The aristocracy also entered, except for the small town of Beckensfield, many nobles gave orders to the residents of their own territories to plant herbs, and for a time everyone was talking about extraordinary herbs, and there were even people who claimed to be experts in herb cultivation appeared, gave lectures, and made a lot of money.

Church of Eden.

"Mr. Nicholas, this is last month's inventory list, please take a look."

The monk in charge of counting the inventory placed a document on Mavi's desk, and just as Mavi checked the inventory, Archbishop Brandon and Pope Ubrey I arrived.

"Nicholas, don't be busy, come with us."

Not knowing what was going on, Mavi put down the papers, followed Archbishop Brandon, and came to the transcendent creature prison under the church of Eden, and after a month, the number of transcendent creatures imprisoned here has increased significantly, reaching nearly two hundred.

Pope Ubli I stopped in front of a row of giant glass jars, each two meters high, filled with seawater and swimming a large mermaid.

Boom!

Boom!

As soon as they saw Ubli I, the four merfolk instantly became agitated, and hit their heads on the glass, revealing their mouths full of fangs, and their eyes were full of evil energy, as if they wanted to jump out and tear all the humans outside apart.

Compared to when they were first caught, the four merfolk were much weaker, and they couldn't even shatter the fragile glass tank, and the reason for their weakness was that the blood of the high-grade potion mercury that was dripping into the tank every day was that they lived in a water source full of toxins all day long, and they couldn't exert their strength at all.

Sweeping his gaze over the four glass jars, Ublis I raised his hand and pointed to the mermaid on the far right, and said in a deep voice, "Fish it out." ”

The merfolk in the rightmost tank are the smallest, not as robust as the other three merfolk, and are still in their juvenile stages. Several monks stepped forward with hooks and fishing nets, slapped the mermaid's neck, dragged it out of the glass tank, and then covered it with fishing nets and hung it high.

Just when Mavi thought that Ubli I was going to torture the mermaid and force it to shed tears, Ubli I actually said: "Yes, this is it, Brandon, and send it to Frederick's kingdom as a state gift." ”

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, you are."

"Oh, Nicholas, I forgot to tell you." Ubli I looked back: "Next month is the birth day of Seakura, the god of judgment, this is a major event of the Cult of Judgment, we have given gifts every year in the past, this time I plan to give this mermaid to them." ”

"As for the remaining three merfolk"

Ublis I pondered for a moment: "Before you come back, the church has used all kinds of means, and they can't let them shed tears, and this time I called you here for this matter, I heard Brandon say that the obsession flower you made has not been used yet?" ”

"Yes, I just feed regularly, there is no blood, and now the obsession with flowers is still ownerless."

"This should be our last resort." "Ancient books say that merfolk shed tears when their partners died, and I plan to use the flower of infatuation to make these three merfolk fall in love with a human woman, and then kill her in front of them, what do you think?" ”

"Wouldn't it be too cruel to do that?"

"There are a lot of female death row inmates in the prison, who have committed unpardonable sins and are going to die, so why not let them make their final contribution to the kingdom?" Ubre I smiled and said: "I have already found a candidate, the church has given her family a sum of money, she is willing to become an experiment, as long as the experiment passes, we can get countless tears!" ”

Obviously, Ublis I intended to use the three mermaids he caught, and a single mermaid flower could only have one owner, but a single mermaid's tear could make many strains of the mermaid, and if reused, many tears could be squeezed from the mermaid.

"You're saying that using the Obsession Flower to make the merfolk fall in love with multiple human women, and then execute them to force the merfolk to shed tears?"

"Well, this is just a conjecture, whether it will succeed or not, only after the experiment will know."

Archbishop Brandon said something similar when he first caught the mermaid, and at that time Ma Wei excused himself on the grounds that he did not carry the infatuated flower, and now that he brought it up again, he had no reason to refuse.

"Obsessed with flowers at the grocery store, I'll bring it over tomorrow."

"I'll leave this matter to you and Brandon, just go back and tell me the results."

After the explanation, Ubri I took a few monks and dragged the mermaid out of the prison.

"Nicholas, Nicholas!"

Seeing Ma Wei staring at the three mermaids in front of him, Archbishop Brandon shouted a few times: "Let's go!" ”

"Here we are."

Leaving the prison and returning to the steps of the Church of Eden, Archbishop Brandon asked, "Do you think the church is too inhumane to do this?" ”

"Fortunately, these merfolk attacked on our way to escape, not to mention, and usually attacked fishing boats, so there is nothing to be sorry for."

"You're right." Archbishop Brandon nodded in satisfaction: "For transcendent creatures, there must not be the slightest mercy, of course, the exception of current affairs, such as the giant wolf you invited to help, we use this method to squeeze tears, it will not affect your friendship with the extraordinary creatures of the sea, right?" ”

"No, it won't."

"If it has an impact, say it, just three mermaids, how many tears can they produce? As long as you maintain a good relationship with them, there will be as many tears as you want! ”

"Not really."

"That's good, huh? What about your daughter? She follows you all day, why isn't she there today? ”

Only then did Archbishop Brandon realize that Yunia was not there, and suddenly felt that something was missing, and he was very uncomfortable.

"She and Felix sent Jonas to school." Ma Wei said: "I took half a month off, and I always had to go back to class, so I didn't go here because I had something to do, and I came back in the afternoon." ”

"Your daughter is four years old, isn't she?"

"In a few months, I'll be five years old."

"Isn't it time to hire a governess for her?" Archbishop Brandon asked with concern: "I see that those big nobles asked teachers to teach their children at the age of three, how can you say that you are also famous nobles now, don't live in that small grocery store, isn't it easy to buy a villa in Regent's Park?" ”

It's all too easy to hire a few servants, buy a big house, and live a life of warm nephrite from now on.

If assets are counted, Ma Wei should now be the richest man in London, even if he does nothing and sleeps at home all day, his assets will not shrink, but will expand at an alarming rate.

Money, it really makes money.

Archbishop Brandon's depiction of a life is good, but it's not what Mavey wants.

To be precise, Ma Wei has already experienced the life of the aristocracy, and it is not so important, what he wants to pursue is a higher level of self-realization.

Just like many aristocrats like to do charity, this is also a kind of self-actualization.

When a person climbs a mountain, rests and enjoys the view, he will look at the higher peaks and will not stop chasing.

Self-actualization is much more exciting than enjoying life.

"I'm going to run for parliament, and if I live in a villa and live a life that ordinary people can't reach, it will cause many people to be disgusted." Ma Wei casually made an excuse: "Let's wait until I become a councilor." ”

"That's right." Archbishop Brandon seemed to remember something: "I almost forgot about it, Baron Frederick has set up a family dinner tonight and invites you to attend, and the second prince will also be present to discuss the matter of the election." ”

The list of candidates for the Lambeth district councillor has been submitted, and yesterday the election officially began, and in a few days, the polling stations will be opened, and all citizens living in the Lambeth district will be able to go to the polling stations to vote, and the one with the most votes will be elected to the Lambeth district councillor.

Marvey is now in the second prince's inner circle, second only to Archbishop Brandon and Baron Frederick, who is related by marriage, and Marvi is running for parliament, and the second prince certainly has to help with advice, and he does have experience in this area.

In the evening, Ma Wei took Unia to the Frederick family villa in the Iling district at the invitation, and tonight's family dinner was very formal, and all the direct members of the Frederick family were present, including Elizabeth, the wife of the second prince.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate Nicholas."

At the dining table, Baron Frederick raised his champagne and raised it to Mavi, who was sitting opposite: "Congratulations to the Manstein family on becoming nobles, everyone will be their own people in the future." ”

The candles flickered, the dim light illuminated everyone's faces, and the second prince and others sat on both sides of the long table, dressed in formal clothes, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, and raised their glasses together to congratulate Ma Wei.

"These are all the merits of His Highness, if it weren't for His Highness's appreciation, how would I be where I am today?"

"And Stuhl, I have to thank him for the vital help I received as the first friend I met in London. ”

Stewart's face was flushed, his lips pursed, and he drank the champagne in one gulp, so moved that he couldn't speak.

Ma Wei, who has already stepped into a high position, can still remember the original friendship, which is really emotional.

After some conversation, the second prince was happy, and the Frederick family was also happy, everyone gathered around the table, elegantly waved knives and forks, and enjoyed a delicious dinner.

After dinner, it was time to rest, and in the living room, the second prince took out two cigars, one was thrown to Ma Wei, one was cut open and put in his mouth, and he took out a lighter and lit it.

"Huh, Nicholas, what's going on over there in Beckensfield? I heard that you sent someone to help the townspeople start growing supernatural herbs? ”

Ma Wei lit a cigarette and didn't smoke it, just put it in his mouth and made a gesture: "Now that the small town of Beckensfield has been cultivated with all the transcendent herbs, I have chosen the Borg grass that does not harm any kind, which is the main ingredient for concocting medium potion antidotes."

The antidote is a medium potion in the possession of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, which can remove most of the common toxins and is widely used, although the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, which has the realm of immortality, is not afraid of toxins that act on the body, but some toxins act on the nerves, so you need to take the antidote.

For example, lethargic toast, which acts directly on the nerves and is ineffective in the realm of immortality, can work an antidote that will make the user wake up immediately.

"Recently, there has been a wave of herb cultivation in the city." Baron Frederick said: "Everybody wants a piece of the pie, and the last time this happened was when the steam engine was invented, so take the opportunity and maybe you can beat the Conservatives and win the Lambeth constituency." ”

When it came to business, the second prince asked Stewart to take out two documents.

"In this general election, there are three candidates in the Lambeth constituency, in addition to Nicolas you, there are Conservative MP Donald Pat and former non-partisan MP Gus Mendy, this is their profile."

When Ma Wei looked through the information, the second prince said: "In the last general election, Donalpat received 8,755 votes, a full 2,000 votes more than the Liberal MP, he is your biggest rival, as for Gus Mendy, don't pay too much attention to it, he only got 1,000 votes in the last general election, and he can't pose a threat to us." ”

"Donnal Pat is the vice president of the Apothecary Guild?" After reading the information, Ma Wei frowned.

"That's right, he has a high prestige in the pharmacist profession, and he is very close to the church, and he just donated a sum of money to Bishop Fowler in Lambeth half a month ago."

"Who?"

Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had misheard: "Which bishop of Lambeth district?" ”

"Bishop Fowler, it's normal that you don't know him, he was only transferred from New Ross City on the West Island at the beginning of the year."
