Chapter 279: Return (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )
[Congressman Donal's report on the smuggling of his only child caused an uproar and was praised by 10,000 people. 】
"Damn !!"
'Bang', the latest issue of the "Daily Mail" was slammed on the table, which was still angry, and the second prince grabbed the teacup and dinner plate on the table and smashed it, and it took a while to recover his strength.
The plan fell through.
The plan not only ruined the soup, but also made a wedding dress for others, which made Congressman Donnell brush up on a wave of prestige!
This breath, the second prince can't swallow it!
"Your Highness is angry." Ma Wei, who was sitting at the dining table, calmly ate the eggs: "Anger can't solve the problem." ”
"I don't have that big belly!"
The second prince said angrily: "How can you make me not angry!" I finally found evidence of the smuggling of Pat Pharmacy, and I am reporting it to the Minister of Taxation, and I am only one step away from defining this matter! When the time comes, as soon as we publicize it with the help of the newspapers, Donnell will be completely finished! ”
"But now? Take a look at Nicholas! Instead of stepping down, Donal's approval ratings soared! Many people said they would give him all the tickets! ”
Ma Wei came to Kensington Palace early in the morning, not to listen to the second prince's complaints, and of course, not to rub the rice.
In recent days, he has been in contact with the second prince more closely than before, and there are vague signs of becoming the second prince's think tank.
Originally, everything went smoothly, and under the guidance of Ma Wei, the second prince successfully discovered the black history of opium smuggling by Pat Pharmacy, and just found the evidence, before he could submit it, he was dissolved by Donal!
In this game, the second prince and others lost, not only lost, but also pushed the opponent, making the already unclear situation even more confusing.
In this regard, Ma Wei behaved quite calmly, who is Donal?
Legislators who have won three consecutive general elections!
MP for the London area!
A person like him has undoubted ability, and his sense of smell is also very sensitive, which is difficult to deal with.
No one is wrong with this defeat, and can only blame Donnell for being too ruthless, breaking his arm to survive, and not hesitating to report his son to keep his position.
Ordinary people don't have the courage of him.
The second prince also knew that the fault was not his own, but he just couldn't swallow this breath!
"Since he's so difficult to deal with, it's better to "
A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and the second prince palmed his hand downward, and said viciously: "Kill him, Nicholas, what do you think?" ”
"Your Highness, without Donal, there will be Bernal, and the key to the problem is to increase your own approval rating, not to kill the parliamentarians who have a higher approval rating than yourself."
While eating breakfast, Ma Wei said: "Iron still needs to be hard, and it is soft, and it is useless to kill many people." ”
"That's just as well."
The second prince sat down dejectedly and sighed: "But now Donal's support rate is higher than before, this is bad news for us, if we continue like this, we will definitely lose the election." ”
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I've arranged everything."
"What did you arrange?" The second prince asked curiously.
"The herbs of the small town of Beckensfield have been planted, and I have recently been working on the Church's multiplication potion." "The proliferation potion can shorten the growth cycle of crops, and it also has a certain effect on extraordinary herbs, and the Borg grass, which has a short growth cycle, can now ripen in a week, and in two days, the newly picked herbs will be on the market," Ma Wei said. ”
The small town of Beckensfield is a pilot selected by Mavi, and many people are paying attention to it, as a new outlet, everyone wants a piece of the pie, so the question comes.
Who can create more benefits for them?
Is it Mavi, or Congressman Donal?
The approval rating is a wonderful thing, it should be said that the approval rating reflects the basic rules of the real society, and most of the businessmen, elites and skilled workers living in Lambeth District will naturally soar as long as they grasp their needs.
"Oh!" The second prince suddenly realized: "You are still waiting for the opportunity!" ”
"Yes."
"Who's running the small town of Beckensfield?"
"Felix, he's now an earl, lord of a small town, and of course he's in charge of that."
As he spoke, Ma Wei suddenly remembered something: "Miss Helena sent an invitation last night to invite Felix to next week's equestrian meeting, I think this should be what the eldest prince meant." ”
"Can Felix hold it?"
The second prince couldn't help but be a little worried, Helena he had seen a few times, it was indeed a very rare beauty, and even he was a little moved, such a moment to test his concentration.
I'm really afraid that Felix will be obsessed with beauty and ruin a big thing.
"Trust him." Ma Wei said without hesitation: "I know Felix, don't look at him as usual, when he encounters serious things, he will never drop the chain." ”
"Felix is really reliable at the critical moment." Recalling Levine when facing Anatole, the second prince nodded: "Then I'll rest assured." ”
After breakfast, Ma Wei took Yunia back to Flower Street in a carriage, it was exactly 9 o'clock in the morning, and when it was time to open for business, Ma Wei was stunned for a moment when he pushed open the door and looked at the figure standing behind the counter.
"Ed. Yannick? You're back? When did you come back? ”
"Just arrived."
Edward turned around, no different from the last time they met, his skin was still fair after a month of exposure to the wind and sun, as if the years had not left their due marks on him.
Closing the door of the store, Ma Wei decided to open the store later: "It's good for you to come back, what about the four princes?" ”
"They're all back, they should be home by then." After estimating the time, Edward said: "The negotiations went well, and with the help of the four princes, most of the nobles in the West Island and the northern part of the kingdom agreed to let Brecon Potions enter the market, and also signed a long-term contract. ”
Not surprised, Mavi continued to ask, "So what did you take Evelyn for?" ”
Edward glanced up, the subject shifting so quickly that it almost didn't react.
When the Kuroshio came, the Holy Daughter of the Church, Evelyn, was seriously injured and was taken away by Edward on the verge of death, and then Edward traveled to the north of the kingdom, not returning to London until today.
It's been a long time since Mavi wanted to ask about it, Evelyn is just a saint of the church, Edward has only fought her once, there is no grudge to talk about, and there must be a reason for taking Evelyn, who is seriously injured and dying.
"I took Evelyn because she was treated unfairly in the church, and she gave everything for the church, and she didn't hesitate to burn her soul to stop the water beast, isn't this kind of merit worth saving?"
"I'm asking why you saved her." "She's a member of the church, and there's a reason why you came forward for her," Ma Wei said. ”
Edward was silent for a moment: "I felt a familiar feeling in Evelyn's body. ”
"Familiar feeling? Because Wild, the goddess of health? ”
"At first, I thought it was because of Wild, the goddess of health, but the last time we met, I felt the same breath in her." Edward cast a calm gaze: "She's a Bloodline. ”
"Bloodline?" Ma Wei frowned: "Are you sure?" She's a church saint! How can it be a Bloodline? ”
"She has a human body, but her soul is definitely related to the Bloodline." Edward said firmly: "Within a month of leaving London, I took her to the Black Castle, forget it, the words are not clear, let the goddess expand the Mithril realm, I will take you to see." ”
As the Lord of the Bloodline, Edward could summon the Black Keep anytime and anywhere, and in the same way, it could use its consciousness to enter the Black Keep.
The Mithril realm unfolded, and Edward raised his hand to push open the door to the kitchen, behind which there was not a kitchen, but a dark darkness.
After walking in the darkness for a while, a dim corridor suddenly appeared in front of me, and the sides of the corridor were inlaid with fluorescent stones, illuminating the way ahead.
Around the corner, a group of children with windmills came laughing and laughing, and just as Mavi was about to dodge, he saw the children pass through Edward's transparent and illusory spirit.
"Ordinary humans don't see what we are now." Edward said, "Humans with high soul strength can turn on psychic vision. Seeing things that cannot be discerned with the naked eye, this is also the most common method of selecting saints, come with me. ”
Walk through the slender spiral staircase of the Black Castle, all the way down, to the bottom of the Black Castle, where there is no trace of human activity, as early as when humans were allowed to enter the Black Castle, Edward set the rule, only the upper half of the Black Castle is open to humans, the lower half is the activity area of the Blood Clan, and the lowest level, even the Blood Clan rarely comes.
This is Edward's dormitory.
With a slight wave of his arm, the door made of black stone made a loud noise, opened to both sides, and an incomparably tall stone platform appeared in front of Ma Wei's eyes, and the ravines flowing with red liquid spread all over the room, swimming against gravity and merging into the crystal coffin on the stone platform.
Mavi had been here and knew that this was the place where Edward healed, and rarely used it, unless he was badly wounded, and for so long, Edward only came here to recuperate after escaping Seeculla's pursuit.
The crimson liquid filled the crystal coffin, and the viscous liquid surface surged, making it difficult to see the existence of the inhabitants in the coffin.
Edward's finger lifted in the air, and the crystal coffin suddenly opened, the coffin lid floated in the air, and the scarlet liquid surging in the coffin quickly decreased, flowing along the ravine on the inner wall of the coffin.
A woman's naked body was revealed.
Evelyn lay quietly at the bottom of the coffin, her eyes closed, her breathing evenly, her eyelashes swaying slightly with her body, as peaceful as a sleeping baby.
"She's healed seven or eight times out of ten." Edward looked at Evelyn lying in the coffin and said, "She hasn't woken up yet, because her soul is hurt more than her body."
Slender white fingers caressed Evelyn's soft face, and Edward said faintly: "I have done my best to save her, but I still can't repair her damaged soul, she sacrificed herself for the church, forcibly borrowed the power of the goddess of health, Wild, this is the way to die." ”
"She's a Bloodline?"
"The soul is a blood clan, and I have already felt the beating of her soul in the month that I have been healing her."
Edward was a little puzzled: "I don't know why this is happening, a soul belonging to the blood clan actually inhabits the body of a human being, not only that, but she also gives me an extremely familiar feeling, just like. It's like thousands of years ago, we hugged each other tightly. ”
"She's your partner?"
"Or rather, I gave her her first hug." Edward himself was not sure: "She, like me, has lost the memory of her past life and joined the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, which is by no means a guide of fate, but someone deliberately did it!" ”
Destiny guides. Ma Wei also did not believe that the appearance of the Blood Clan soul in the human body was accidental.
If Evelyn's soul was artificially stuffed into a human body, what was the purpose of the other party?
Evelyn is the saint of the church, not everyone can be a saint, the most important thing is to be absolutely loyal to the goddess.
"Father, now you understand why I saved her."
Edward turned around and said to Mavi, "Evelyn is a bloodline, the same as me, a previous bloodline that has not yet been extinct, although I already have many companions, but there is only one of the previous bloodlines like her, and I don't know if it is the only one."
Edward looked memoralistic, "I must save her, Father, and I hope you will support my decision." ”
"I didn't think to berate you in the first place, I was just curious why you did it, and now I understand."
Ma Wei nodded: "On the night of the Black Tide, Nanelde, the goddess of wealth, came down and said that this is Evelyn's fate, Nander predicted Evelyn's fate, and also predicted what you did. ”
"yes, that's the scariest part." Edward said: "The three goddesses of fate are not simple, they are the gods born from the Fountain of Urde, they were originally the old gods, but later they were subordinated to the god of the apocalypse, Nereida, and their divine power is not much different from the old gods. ”
"That's right."
Speaking of Nereida, the god of the apocalypse, Mavi thought of something they discovered during this trip to Paris: "The god of the apocalypse, Nereida, is most likely the ancient god Asis." ”
Edward raised his eyebrows, surprised but not surprised, but a little abrupt: "This is not surprising, if the god of the apocalypse, Nereida, is Asis, it is not surprising that the three goddesses of fate will follow him." ”
"Regardless, Evelyn's case is a sign of danger, and we must beware of the traps of the Old Gods, including you, Edward."
Ma Wei looked into Edward's eyes and said, "Your amnesia is probably also the work of the ancient god forces, and in time, when you recover your memory."
At this point, Ma Wei suddenly stopped, and he didn't know how to continue.
"I see what you mean, Father."
"I don't know what I will become when I regain my memory, but I can tell you very clearly that no matter what happens in the future, I will not be an enemy of the Church of Truth, this is a testimony to your friendship with me, and it is also my own salvation, the blood and the human race can live in harmony, you have confirmed this to me." ”
