"It's crazy to want to poison the king and seek the throne."

At night, at the Regent's Park Villa, the fourth prince holds a glass of whiskey and sipps amber liquor, looking calm.

Ma Wei, who was sitting opposite, said: "I have already written a letter to the person in charge of the Voodoo Kingdom branch, this is an exclusive secret letter, at most half a month, the eldest prince will be able to get the soul elixir." ”

"So, I have a month and a half left to prepare?"

It takes half a month to get the soul elixir, and it takes a month for the effect of the medicine to occur, which sounds like a long time, but it is actually just a snap of a finger.

"I don't think you're going to have anything to prepare."

"Are you not going to give up the throne to others?"

Arthur shook the cup lightly and suddenly asked, "In the eyes of the Goddess of Destiny Church, am I really important?" ”

"Of course it's important that you can maintain the stability of the West Island, and I don't think the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate will stop you from ascending to the throne."

"In that case, the throne seems to be in my pocket." Arthur smiled: "As long as I report Charles to the church and say that he plans to poison the king, won't I be able to ruin his reputation?" ”

"After the fall of Charles, the remaining Shukri has nothing to fear, I have the support of the Labour Party, and I can easily deal with him."

Arthur stretched out his hand and leaned into the chandelier on the roof, his long golden hair scattered, and his gaze was misty: "It's been 12 years, this is the closest I've been to the throne."

"Are you seeking worldly power?"

“.”

The intoxication in the light green eyes faded, Arthur withdrew his gaze from looking at the chandelier, turned to look at Ma Wei, and said seriously: "No, worldly power, for me is just the beginning, I said, I want everyone to remember my name, remember the woman who gave birth to me, this needs me to practice it all my life." ”

"You're not carried away by power." Ma Wei nodded: "In that case, I suggest that you don't tell the church about the eldest prince's poisoning." ”

"Why?"

"As a former enemy and now an ally, the second prince and the eldest prince are getting closer, and as a former ally and now an enemy, the gap between you and the eldest prince is getting deeper and deeper."

Ma Wei said word by word: "The betrayer is often more hateful than the enemy, the eldest prince can let go of the past mustard and join forces with the second prince, which is enough to prove his hatred for you, in this case, you report him, he will turn to support Shukri, at that time, you who still have a chance to compete, there will be no hope." ”

The rise of the Labour Party has been a matter of the past two months, and at best it is a new party, and even if it has the support of many workers, it cannot compete with the Conservatives and the Liberals.

Once the Conservatives and the Liberals join forces, Labour has no chance of competing at all.

"Charles hates me so much, so he should be killed to prevent future trouble, shouldn't he?"

"Theoretically, but I suspect he wants to frame the second prince."

"Aren't they allies?"

"Allies want to divide people, where does a person who can poison even his own father come from?"

Ma Wei shrugged: "It's impossible for me to trust the eldest prince, today he asked the second prince to launch an election proposal to the parliament after the poison attack, and then I felt wrong." ”

Arthur narrowed his eyes: "To poison the king, the most important thing is to poison, and this process is in the hands of Charles, if he does something in this link, such as arranging a scapegoat, slandering that it is Shukri who sent someone to poison the king, even if he gives Shukri twenty mouths, he can't tell." ”

"Yes." Ma Wei nodded slowly: "I slandered the second prince, I can't escape the involvement, there are very few forbidden potions like soul elixirs that can be bought, if you remove me from power, the successor will be Felix, and in the eyes of the eldest prince, Felix and Helena are very close, and they have a higher value of wooing."

"The king, political enemies, potions, and so on will be solved, what a good way to kill three birds with one stone." Taking a sip of wine, Arthur sighed: "In terms of intrigue, Charles has been good at it since he was a child. ”

Click.

At this moment, the door opened, and Gulhana, who was wearing a nightgown, walked in with a teapot, poured tea for Mavi and Edward, and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?" ”

"As for Charles, you can also sit down and listen to them." Arthur gestured to the vacant chair.

"Okay."

Gulhana sat down next to Arthur, Ma Wei took a sip of hot tea, and continued: "The biggest question now is whether I should hand over the real soul elixir to the eldest prince, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, you have always said that you want revenge, but I don't know if the king is your target for revenge."

"I hate him, of course I hate him, I hate that I can't send his body to the grave, but I can't do this, it's against my bottom line."

Arthur clenched his fists and said, "I want him to see with his own eyes what a terrible mistake he has made, and I want him to understand the pain of losing a loved one!" ”

"Three princes, who do you want to kill?"

"Whoever kills my mother, I will kill him!"

"But you still don't know who the murderer is behind it."

"There will be people who will say it, and there will always be people who can't bear it." Arthur lowered his eyes and said in a calm tone: "When the rope is wrapped around the neck, there will always be people crying and begging for mercy, isn't it?" ”

"So you don't want me to give the elixir to the eldest prince?"

"No, leave it to him." Arthur said, "As long as the elixir can't kill the king, then it's fine, I just want him to gasp consciously, and it doesn't matter if he lies on the bed and can't move or jumps around." ”

Ma Wei nodded, got up and said, "That's it, wait for the elixir to arrive, and then discuss the rest of the matter." ”

Mavi, who suddenly remembered something, said to Arthur: "Not long ago, I got news about Avalon, and when this matter is over, I will take you to the lost kingdom, Your Highness." ”

Avalon!

A knight's sanctuary!

Arthur's heart trembled, and the fingers holding the wine glass turned slightly white from the exertion, and it took a long time to regain his rosiness, and his tense body relaxed.

"Father, the Knights of the Round Table did not betray me because of their loyalty. I am also a loyal man, I am loyal to my people, to my kingdom, to the land under my feet, of course. Faithful to you, Father. ”

"I wish you a good dream, Your Highness."

Putting on his hat, Mavi smiled silently and fled into the shadows with Edward.

Avalon's news, Ma Wei has known for a long time, and the reason why he delayed telling Arthur is to keep this hole card in his hand.

No one dared to guarantee that Arthur would never betray them, especially if the throne was within reach.

Now, Arthur doesn't need much help from the Church of Truth, he has set up his own door, and has been valued by the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, as long as he is given some more time to develop, it is not difficult to become a king.

At this time, Avalon's message was thrown out to remind Arthur that he had what he wanted.

And what Arthur said was also to express that he had no second heart.

Loyalty that has been tested is loyalty, otherwise it is just lip service.

Back at the grocery store, Mavi sleeps Yunia and exchanges information with Levine, before finding Edward and asking about Gulhana.

"The blood clan can sense different breaths, is Gulihana a normal human in your eyes?"

"It's no different from a normal human." Edward said, "But it can't be ruled out that she used magic to confuse my judgment, after all, you suspect that she is Paimon of the Supreme Four Pillars, who is much stronger than me, and is a direct descendant of the Old Gods." ”

"That's just as well. Forget it, go to sleep. ”

Half a month later.

A freighter from the southern continent sailed into the port of London, loaded with raw materials purchased by the Manstein Potions Company, and since the opening of the international potions market, a huge freighter has sailed to London every week to bring raw materials and leave full of potions.

The Manstein Potions factory has also been expanded, and now there are two large factories and nearly twenty production lines in the London area alone, and a large number of finished potions are produced every day, and the types of potions have also become more diverse from a few at the beginning.

All this is not enough for Manstein Potions, the main thing is that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate opened up the potion inventory to Mavi, and at the same time shared many potion recipes, slowly forming the current situation.

The current Manstein Potions Company, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a daily income, and in the last month alone, Mavi has received millions of gold pounds in dividends, of which he only left a small part, and the rest was sent back to the Romanov Kingdom.

Along with the potion raw materials, there was also a 'gift' from the Southern Continent.

The captain handed this gift from the Witch God Cult to Mavi, it was a small thing, it was a square wooden box, the box was full of hay, and in the hay was buried a box, and in the box, there were two bottles of azure clear liquid.

Picking up one of the bottles, it shook slightly, the clear blue liquid rippled like the surface of the sea, and when the cork was opened, there was no smell, but when I brought my ears closer, it seemed that I could hear the whisper of Si Suo.

"Is this the soul potion, why are there two bottles?"

Ma Wei didn't know the refining method of the soul elixir, this was the secret of the Witch God Sect, but judging from the previous refining methods of the Witch God Sect, the soul spirit potion must also be a product of some kind of evil.

"Big brother, there's still a letter in the box!"

The sharp-eyed Levine flipped out a letter under the velvet that was painted with fire paint, without the name of the recipient or the sender, and the completely blank envelope looked a little weird.

"Dad, there's magic on the letter." Yunia reminded, "It's not evil magic, but it does have fluctuations in magic. ”

The Witch God Cult sent a soul potion, which was a show of goodwill, and the other party had no reason to harm him, unless his own killing of Gilbert Wilkin was exposed, but this was impossible!

Gilbert Wilkin's body had long been burned to ashes and scattered into the river, completely without a trace, how could it be exposed?

Since Yunia also said that there is no evil magic in the letter

With this in mind, Mavi handed the letter to Edward and said, "You can open it." ”

“.”

Glancing at Ma Wei, Edward took the envelope, tore open the fire paint, took out the letter inside, and opened it.

Nothing.

The stationery is blank.

"Daddy, magic is applied on a piece of paper" Yunia said, "It seems to be cryptographic magic"

"If it's cryptomagic, only certain people can open it."

Edward returned the letter to Ma Wei, and the moment Ma Wei got the letter, a cyan flame burst out of the letter, and began to spontaneously combust rapidly, and the blank letter paper turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, and the smoke produced by the burning converged in the air, outlining an ethereal human head.

"Dear Mr. Nicholas, I am Pope Annuba III of the Witch God Sect, and thanks to your kindness, I have given my sect a precious gift, and these two bottles of soul elixir are my sect's return gifts. Please keep in mind that the elixir with a cross mark on the mouth of the bottle is purified to increase the power of the soul, while the elixir without the mark is highly poisonous. ”

The head of the smoke began to dissipate, and Annuba III also quickened his speech: "Everything before has passed, and I will not hold you accountable, and I hope you can fulfill your promise and help me to come to the Holy City again."

With a 'hiss', the human head exploded, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating, and Ma Wei looked at the ashes on the ground, his brows furrowed deeply.

Annuba III was able to contact him directly, probably because he wrote a letter to Adams, the head of the kingdom of Voodoo far away, and as long as he had the letter, he could activate encryption magic and make letters that only he could trigger.

As for the contents of the letter.

Honestly, it's kind of interesting.

Annuba III first referred to him by the name of Nicholas, and then said that he had received a gift, but Mavi never gave any gift, and the gift mentioned here was probably the holy city of 'Jerusalem'.

In the second half of the letter, Annuba III mentions the previous 'grudge', the identity of Nicholas von Manstein is fictitious, and it is impossible to have any grudges with the Witch God Cult, so the source of the grudge can only be the identity of Mavi Enders.

The only connection between Mavi Enders and the Witch God Cult is Gilbert Wilkin, who was killed in New Ross City!

It seems that the Witch God Cult actually knew that he killed Gilbert Wilkin, but he has not been held accountable for a long time, and now he has said that he has written it off, which also proves that this matter has turned a page.

The methods of the Witch God Cult were indeed beyond Ma Wei's expectations, Gilbert Wilkin was destroyed by him, and it stands to reason that he would not be discovered, and the problem is most likely in the 'soul' side.

Thinking of this, Ma Wei picked up the glass bottle on the left side, and sure enough, he found a cross mark carved with a dagger at the mouth of the bottle, but the bottle on the right did not.

"The bottle on the left is a good thing to be able to increase soul power."

Elia can't use the potion to enhance the power of the soul, Edward doesn't need it, and the only suitable ones are Mavi, Levine and Daniel.

Mavi wanted to divide the potion into three parts, but Levin said he didn't need to: "I won't drink it, in case the soul power is increased to Nereida or Asis, wouldn't it be more troublesome?" Big brother, drink it. ”

"In that case, I'll give your share to the fat oranges."

Ma Wei thought for a moment and said:

"Yes, you should let the fat orange and the little black drink them first, what if they are poisonous? Go, call Fat Orange and Blackie. ”
