After a fight with Archbishop Brandon, Archbishop Fowler vented a lot of depression in his heart, and he has been holding it back these days, but he can be regarded as finding a place to vent.

Although the Pope repeatedly ordered him to put the matter aside and wait until the goddess had recovered before opening the investigation, Archbishop Fowler felt that he had to do something about it and not let it go with the flow.

In order to spy on Mavi, he gave a secret order to the witchers who were in charge of keeping Mavi safe, asking them to write down Mavi's daily movements and report them to him.

At first, the witchers disagreed, because this information needed to be reported to the Pope, and Archbishop Fowler was arrogant in doing so, and secondly, Mavi was kind to them, often giving them some subsidies, and occasionally personally cooking and inviting them to eat together, so it was reasonable that they should not divulge private information.

But Archbishop Fowler moved out of the goddess of health and asked the demon hunters in the team who believed in Wild, the goddess of health, to report the information to him, otherwise he would be stripped of his followers.

Forced to be helpless, the witcher team had no choice but to hand over Ma Wei's route of action to Archbishop Fowler, and at the same time quietly reported the matter to the Pope, who learned of the incident, did not stop Archbishop Fowler, but pretended not to know.

How could he not be worried that Nicholas was Mavi Enders?

The key is that he is the Pope, and he must not show suspicion, but it is Archbishop Fowler, who was already at odds with Mavi, and many of the actions he made can be explained and will not arouse suspicion.

If Archbishop Fowler had not investigated anything and alarmed Mavi, Pope Ubli I would have punished Archbishop Fowler.

If Archbishop Fowler had investigated something, Pope Ulbley I would have told others that he had acquiesced in it.

Regardless of the outcome, the Pope never loses.

How could Archbishop Fowler not know that he was being used as a gunman?

It was precisely because he expected the Pope's reaction that he dared to threaten the Witcher Squad.

Why did Pope Ubly I transfer him to London?

Is it because he's doing well?

The answer, of course, is for balance.

Archbishop Fowler was the pawn that balanced the Manstein Potions Company.

Now it's finally coming in handy.

On the other hand, Mavi had already sent Caesar an ultimatum, and the cats all over the city sent him the matter of the Pope's conclave, and he could guess the general content, which was nothing more than Caesar's small report to the church.

But so what?

If it had been placed half a year ago, I am afraid that Ma Wei would have been afraid of it, but today

He didn't need to be afraid.

The Manstein Potions Company grew rapidly, and in less than half a year after its establishment, it broke into the core of the economy of the Kingdom of Windsor, and the new market fed countless people, contributing terrible taxes every month, comparable to a terrifying gold-sucking machine.

The establishment of the branch, coupled with the signing of the Potions Cooperation Agreement of various countries, allowed the Manstein Potions Company to further expand, and the background of the church and the support of the kingdom, the economic volume is no longer comparable to ordinary capital, and the combined trade volume of all branches has reached millions of gold pounds per day, which is converted into tens of millions of rubles!

What is this concept?

Katerina gave the total government income of the Romanov kingdom in the previous year was 600 million rubles.

It only took two months for Manstein Potions to surpass that number.

Of course, the amount of trade handled does not represent profits, and Tiffany has calculated that the average profit margin of Manstein Potions is around 60%, which is not very high, but the volume of transactions is huge.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the 51% stake currently held by Mavi, the annual profit has exceeded the total tax revenue of the Romanov Kingdom in the previous year.

It is a fact that the company was able to grow from zero to a blowout in just one year, thanks to the injection of Liberal capital and the support of the Church and the Kingdom.

Such a terrible volume of transactions has been related to the lives of countless people, and more and more people are putting their treasures on the Manstein Potions Company, devoting all their wealth to the cultivation and collection of potions, and relying on the Manstein Potions Company for food.

The order of the potions market was also established by the Manstein Potions Company.

This machine, this monster can't fall.

Of course, this is not a reason for the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny to let it go, and now that the gods have descended, the economy is no longer unsacrificeable, and power is no longer concentrated in the hands of capital, but in the hands of the church.

If the Church wants Manstein to die, he will die.

The question is,

Manstein's Potions Company is linked to the lives of too many people, and with the authority of the Prime Minister and the support of charitable foundations, Mavi has a high reputation in the hearts of the people.

Just like the aristocratic faction and senators who advised Caesar to release Levin, many people didn't want anything to happen to Ma Wei.

Now, there is no need for Ma Wei to do anything, and those who intend to harm the interests of the company will be beaten by vested interests.

Spontaneous maintenance.

Caesar, who received the ultimatum, found that the top brass of the Goddess of Fate had done nothing, and that day, at that moment, the maid who had come to deliver coffee heard angry shouts from the room, such as 'barbarian stupidity', 'fools should be sent to the gallows', and 'they should have been killed all back then'.

Opening the door, Caesar sat calmly behind his desk and flipped through the papers, as if nothing had happened.

After his coffee, Caesar traveled to the Basilica in Rome and found Serafina, intending to remind him once again to warn the Mansteins, much to his surprise, Serafina was talking to another god.

Anatole.

"Is this the one you chosen?" Anatole looked at Caesar and smiled after a while: "It's good, it's just not as good as Napoleon." ”

Caesar's face was expressionless, and there was not even a fluctuation in his heart, Napoleon Bonapart was famous and a rising star, which is normal, there are talented people in the country, and the world's spoiled children are like the Qing of the river, which era has no king?

There is always a debate about who is better and which is better, and which is meaningless.

Compare for the sake of comparison, but fall behind.

He was Caesar, and that name alone was enough to make others tremble.

"You're just in time."

Serafina said: "Anatole believes that we should release Felix von Manstein. ”

"For what?"

"To stall for time."

Anatole said quietly: "Do you think that Nicolas von Manstein is Mavi Enders?" ”

"Yes, it's my judgment, my intuition."

"If this is true, then we need to respond, from the current situation, the Church of Truth has obtained two semi-divine white candles, they can start the summoning in three places at the same time, if the whole kingdom of God is summoned, we cannot stop it."

"That's why we shouldn't be persecuting Nicholas, who could be Mavi Enders," Anatole said. ”

"If he summons the lost kingdom of God to come, it will not do him any good."

"It's no good, but if it's a matter of life and death, what if you have the idea of dying together?"

Caesar was silent, it was not impossible.

"The White Candle is the hole card of the Church of Truth, and it is clear that this hole card should not fall into his hands"

"Why don't you destroy the Channeling White Candle?" Caesar wondered, "Since the Channeling White Candle is so bad to you, wouldn't it be better to destroy it?" ”

"First of all, it's because only the ancient gods know how to make the Tongshen White Candle, which is extremely rare." Anatole explained: "Secondly, the Divine White Candle is a great weapon to limit the ancient gods, if the Apocalypse God System cannot defeat the Ancient Gods, you can activate the Divine White Candle to ask for help from other gods, which is the mission of the God of Faith." ”

"Last but not least, the Channeling White Candle can summon the Lost Kingdom of God, and at this moment, we can use it to summon Nereida."

"Summoning. Nereida? Caesar raised his eyebrows: "Is this possible?" ”

"I don't know if I can make it." Anatol shook his head: "Nereida was supposed to come with us, but he disappeared, and he left behind the key, through which he could summon him, but now that the key is gone, we have to find another way." ”

Caesar nodded: "Since the use of the channeling white candle has a chance to recall Nereida. Why didn't you do this before? ”

"Summoning Nereida with a channeling white candle is a last resort, no one knows if it will succeed, before that, we all thought that Nereida would return, but he let us down."

"The white candle is lost, is there any backup?"

"Yes."

Anatol's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a firm tone: "In the tomb of the first pope, Irene Bojie, there is a white candle buried. ”

Open the tomb of the first pope?

This kind of thing is something that believers dare not think of.

Only God dares to say that.

No one knows if there is a personal emotional factor in this.

"I've designed I've designed I'm in the depths of the Dead Sea for I've designed Izne Boje's tomb with multiple spells, but it takes at least three gods of faith to unlock it."

Caesar suddenly realized that this was obviously an insurance policy to prevent some god from opening the tomb to dig up the body without permission.

"So you come to Serafina."

"Derote, the goddess of fate, rejected me." Anatol said, "Seecula agreed to open the tomb and summon Nereida with a channeling white candle, but Derota disagreed, and Serafina said to ask for your opinion. ”

Glancing at Serafina, Caesar wondered, "Why did Derote, the goddess of fate, refuse?" Didn't He want Nereida to come? ”

"I've always felt like there's something wrong with Him." Anatole sneered, "Two thousand years ago, he often conspired with Nereida, and now that Nereida has not come, I suspect that he is hiding." ”

These are all private speculations and cannot be used as evidence, but Anatol's intention is clear, which is to open the tomb of Izene Boje and remove the white candle inside.

"I remember, didn't Irene Boje's tomb be opened once?" Caesar asked, "The reason for the appearance of the Battle of Perea is because the Calamity Tablet was snatched by the Royal Navy."

"As the first pope, the tomb of Irene Boje is not simple, it is a duplex structure, divided into two levels, inside and outside." Anatole said, "Last time, the people of the Cult of Wisdom opened the outer layer of the mausoleum with the purpose of taking away the Calamity Stone that had been placed on the outer layer. ”

Caesar had certainly heard of the doomsday tablet, which contained the doomsday prophecy: "You have published the first half of the tablet. ”

"That's because we only got the top half of the stele."

"You only take half of the things?"

"It's definitely not just half of it." Anatole sighed: "The clergy who were ordered to enter the Dead Sea and bring out the stele are all dead, no one knows what happened, and the survivors of the fleet of St. Martil also say that they only saw the upper half of the stele, and the lower half of the stele was either lost or taken away in advance. ”

"Does anyone else know the location of the grave?"

Izene Boje's grave sits in the middle of the Dead Sea, which is not for nothing, because it is so terrifying that very few people survive to be named death, and without a chart, ordinary people would be disoriented if they entered.

"There is only one nautical chart recording the location of the tomb, which is kept in the Ancient Books Room of the Cult of Wisdom, and there is absolutely no other backup."

"Could it be that some member of the Cult of Wisdom opened the tomb without permission?"

"No, the Cult of Wisdom only visited the Dead Sea once three years ago."

After a pause, Anatole took out a card from his bosom, hand-drawn with a flower drawn on it.

"Lily" Caesar looked at the specimen: "What do you mean?" ”

"The fleet of San Martir plundered the ships of the Cult of Wisdom, and afterwards we launched the Battle of Perea to recapture the booty, and among the treasures, we found this."

Anatole said: "The survivors of the fleet of St. Martiel's say that this card in the arms of the dead bishop seems to be something very important, but I remember very well that there was absolutely no such card in the grave. ”

"Is it possible that the dead bishop's personal belongings?"

"This is the Lily Thief's card." Anatole said in a deep voice: "There are many people who recognize this card, it is a glorious pirate more than ten years ago, specializing in robbing nobles, and has his own ship, named Lily, every time he robs a ship, he will leave such a card, and after a few years, it suddenly disappears. ”

"According to the clues, I found the crew of the Lily, and inquired and learned that the famous Lily Monster Thief was only in his early twenties at the time, and he could use magic."

"Magic?"

"That's right, magic." Anatole laughed, "The last guardian, the descendant of the Bojie family, the bloodline of Nereida. ”

"Where is he?"

"Dead, the people of the Bojie family will not live to be 30 years old, and judging by their age, the Lily Monster Thief has long since died."

"Does he have any descendants?"

"I'm investigating, and the lily thief has suddenly disappeared, and no one knows where he has gone or who he has become."

Caesar nodded slowly: "I didn't find the key, so you want me to release Felix von Manstein and stabilize Nicholas von Manstein?" ”

"Yes, and persuade Serafina to open Irene Boje's grave."

"I need to think about it."

"No problem."

Anatole smiled slightly, got up and said, "I will stay in Rome for three days, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible." ”

With that, Anatole left the Basilica of Rome, as if intending to experience life as a human being, and as soon as he walked on his front foot, Caesar grabbed Serafina's wrist with his hind foot.

Serafina glanced at Caesar's hand and said coldly, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Hurry up!"

Caesar's mood was filled with unspeakable excitement: "Go to the palace!" Catch Felix von Manstein! He may well be the key left behind by Nereida! ”

"What did you say?"

"Anatole already knows about it! What he just said was a pretext! The real purpose is Felix von Manstein! Don't be deceived by Him! Just go! Be sure to get ahead of Anatole! ”
