Chapter 5: The Prelude to the Cold War (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )
Under Mavi's gaze, Toure carefully put the gray and shiny bead into his mouth, and surprisingly, the bead turned into juice and flowed into his lungs as soon as he entered his mouth, dissolving in an instant, perfectly fitting with Toure's soul.
The regain of sensation and taste made Toure pull out the dagger and cut it lightly at his finger.
Blood gushed out, and this time it didn't heal, but it continued to ooze blood, and it gradually clotted after a long time.
"It's back"
Toure pursed his lips and looked up at Mavi, "What deal did you make with the demon?" ”
"I didn't make a deal with them."
Toure didn't believe it, what kind of urine is the devil, he knows too well after dealing with it, how can he cancel the transaction without any benefit?
Ma Wei must have paid the price, he just didn't want to talk to him.
"Thank you."
"I should thank you." "Without you, we would have died on the gallows," Mavi said. ”
"No, if the target of those demons is you, then I'm the one to be used." Toure said with a solemn expression: "I have thought about it carefully in the past few days, although there were enemy ships on our left and right at that time, but you were standing by my side, how did that bullet pass through your body and hit me in the chest?" ”
"You suspect that the devil fired that shot?"
"Well, it's quite possible."
After a slight groan, Ma Wei shook his head: "There is no point in saying these now, even if they shoot guns?" What is done cannot be undone. Edward, I took it with me, come to me if you have any questions, don't carry it alone. ”
"Okay."
Calling Edward, Marvey returned to the flower street grocery store, now he is no longer the prime minister, no longer need to go to 9 Downing Street to report, Arthur selected Sean Rickman as the new prime minister, formed his own cabinet, and the Sunshine Circus was successfully rescued and returned to London.
There is a teleportation circle on the cage, and it will be activated when touched, and after Levin is teleported, of course Luo Jin and the others will not be stupid enough to be hit again, and while rescuing Gina, they will bring back the cage engraved with the teleportation circle by the way.
To tell the truth, Ma Wei didn't know who brought this trend, including Edward, it seems that everyone around him pursues the principle of 'thieves don't go empty', plucking geese, and will try to bring home strange things when they see them.
It's not a bad habit.
The cage has been handed over to Kovalev and others for the reproduction of the magic array, as long as the complete magic array can be rubbed, there is a chance to create a teleportation magic array, this is a treasure, a real treasure.
Once you have a long-distance teleportation magic array, the communication between the Church of Truth and the transportation of materials will be qualitatively changed, and if it is used in people's livelihood, I dare not imagine how convenient it is.
From Oreon's mouth, Ma Wei extracted a lot of useful information, the most important of which was that the wisdom of the ancient god Arabi used his own divine kingdom to deduce reality in a vain attempt to realize the power of the 'prophet', and Ma Wei, who had experienced both worlds, could clearly feel the gap between the two.
The world in which he lives now is very different from the world in which he was born, in a geographical sense.
At least the ancient kingdom of the East that he was familiar with did not exist in this world.
It can be seen that the deduction of the wise ancient god Arabi is not reliable, and the history he deduced has a serious deviation, whether this is related to the destruction of historical documents by the forces of the ancient gods is unknown, but there must be a problem.
And he is the 'firefighter' chosen by the ancient gods.
If he hadn't come into this world, Yunia wouldn't have been born, and without the power of the Creator, no one would have been able to take that step.
Mavi didn't talk about these things, and Yunia didn't know either, only Edward knew that his soul came from another world and didn't belong to this land.
Tilde may also know that when he was in a state of separation, Tilde was about to raise this possibility, but was interrupted by Edward
Homesick?
Looking at the hazy full moon in the sky, as a stranger, how can there be no homesickness in your heart?
Ma Wei didn't plan to say, this was his problem, so why bother others?
Whether to go or stay, Ma Wei can't give an answer to this question, he only knows that if he leaves everything now, it will be extremely irresponsible.
The way out will make people weak.
"Have you figured out where the church is going next?" Edward found a glass of blood wine out of nowhere and sipped it in an elegant posture.
"Oh, you don't seem to know Blackie! Bring me the file I gave you! ”
"Meow, meow, meow."
With a pile of papers in his mouth, Xiao Hei ran out of the study with rapid steps and jumped onto the table.
"See for yourself, this is the guiding principle set at yesterday's Truth Conference, you didn't come to attend, I brought a copy."
Picking up the documents and looking through them carefully for a while, Edward suddenly asked, "Hoarding for war?" ”
"That's right."
Ma Wei nodded: "Nereida has come, now the enemy is strong and I am weak, and there is Danbala in the Southern Continent, waiting for the opportunity to move, the Great Northern Alliance has just been established, it is not appropriate to take the initiative to provoke a war, you should recuperate and hoard strength." ”
"In the next few years, the Church of Truth will be deployed in three aspects, one is the Western Continent, a small country in the south of the United States of Citi, where the influence of the Apocalypse God Department is not far-reaching enough, and we will use the advantages of the Royal Navy to seize control there."
"The second is alchemy technology, we must actively develop the ruins left by the Golden Age, develop magic weapons, arm soldiers, and carry out all-round scientific and technological popularization, which is also the direct reason why we and the Apocalypse God Department have seized control of the southern countries of the Western Continent, where there are many Golden Age sites, resources and potion raw materials."
"Finally, we need to vigorously develop the economy, if magic cannot be used for the benefit of the people, it will lose its meaning, and the popularization of magic will drive the economy, complement the alchemy technology, and provide a large number of jobs for the society, and we want to show the world what the truth is."
Ma Wei said with a firm gaze: "The collapse of faith is not overnight, but imperceptibly, I will use practical actions to prove the meaning of the truth, and use thoughts to infiltrate and disintegrate the rule of the Apocalypse Divine System." ”
"They won't let you get away with it." Edward said: "The newspapers and magazines in our country are controlled by them, and they can spread rumors as much as they want, and your actions are not visible to ordinary people." ”
"They have public opinion, and we don't?"
Ma Wei grinned and sneered: "When it comes to public opinion warfare, the Windsor Kingdom has never been afraid of anyone, not to mention that what we are fighting for is the area that the Apocalypse Divine System cannot fully control, such as the small countries of the Southern Continent, the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, as long as the Apocalypse Divine System cannot be fully controlled, there is room for mediation." ”
"Dad wants to win over not only humans, but also transcendent races!" Yunia held her head high and said, "The Apocalypse Divine System regards transcendent creatures as enemies, and we will treat them differently, as long as they are friendly to humans, they can get the area where they live!" ”
"I'm a big believer in that."
Edward raised his glass slightly, as if he was gesturing to Ma Wei: "The reputation of the blood clan has always been bad, and it is hated by humans, originally I did not have any hope of reconciliation with humans, but the priest did it. ”
Since the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny was merged into the God of Truth, Ma Wei and the others can legitimately use the Eternal Life Realm, and this magic is a gospel for the Blood Clan, which means that the contradictory survival problem between the Blood Clan and the human race has been solved and has become mutually beneficial.
The world is so wonderful, the blood clan needs human blood to survive, which should be uncommon, but as long as the realm of immortality is found, the contradiction can be turned into a mutually beneficial advantage, from a bad thing to a good thing.
The only problem is that the realm of immortality is difficult to popularize on a large scale, after all, it is the main god magic exclusive to Wild, which must be driven by believers who believe in Wild, and it cannot take care of everyone, and the most basic medical industry cannot be banned, if it is just a common cold and fever, some skin trauma, there is no need to go to the local church for treatment.
Only when there is a life-threatening illness or sequelae is the time for the realm of immortality to come into play.
In order to prevent confusion caused by everyone wanting to use the most convenient realm of immortality, Mavi decided to charge exorbitant fees for the realm of immortality, but at the same time set up the Manstein insurance company, which would pay medical insurance in the form of insurance from the people's taxes, and as long as it was an eligible disease, it could be reimbursed.
The price of insurance can be set very cheaply, such as a premium of 1 pence per month, just for show, if the people can't even afford 1 pence, that's Ma Wei's own problem.
The next day, Kassym took Mrs. Cecil, a Church of Truth senator – the true Senator.
When Mavi settled in New Ross, the first person to join the Truth Church was Mrs. Cecil, and even later, Mrs. Cecil took care of Mavi for three years, and even helped him take care of church affairs for a long time.
It is always difficult to repay the help of the last time, and Mavi entrusted Arthur to present Mrs. Cecil with the King's Medal and the Imperial Medal of Loyalty, so that everyone knew Mrs. Cecil's name.
As long as Mrs. Cecil wanted to, she could become a real noblewoman, and no one dared to provoke her, and even with just one word, she could get a splash of wealth.
But Mrs. Cecil did not do that, but went to the grocery store and continued to take care of Mavi's food and clothing, firmly believing that Mavi's favorite meals and the restaurants outside were not clean.
Perhaps this was the smartest thing to do, but Mavi didn't take it to heart, and packed a second-floor room for Mrs. Cecil, who was paid according to the standard salary, and as for Kassim, he was also transferred to London, where he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a captain, and at the same time served as a priest in the army.
In addition to this, Mavi founded the Manstein Construction Company, which mobilized trusted workers from the Romanov kingdom to secretly mine the ruins located beneath London.
Nicholas von Manstein has been removed, but Manstein's name remains, and control of the company has officially been transferred to the Church of Truth, becoming a church enterprise.
Just when Ma Wei was busy, Freya suddenly came to the door as a cabinet member and social relations minister.
"You don't seem to want to see me?"
On the other side of the desk, looking at Ma Wei's slightly frowning brow, Freya pursed her lips.
"Nope."
Ma Wei stretched his brows and immediately denied it: "This is your delusion." ”
"And you'd love to see me?"
"It's also your delusion."
"I like the way you used to be, but it's good now." Freya said, looking at Mavi's face.
"Get down to business."
"I heard you have a good relationship with Katerina?"
"If it's okay"
"I'm just getting down to business." Freya took out a document and handed it over: "This is the application document for this year's Olympic Games in the United Kingdom, which needs to be signed by you, and by the way, I entrust you to forward it to Katerina. How do you look at me like that? I'm the Minister of Social Relations! ”
Putting away his slightly strange gaze, Ma Wei stared at the papers on the table, remembering the Olympics.
Freya is right, this August, in seven months, is the time to host the Olympics.
The host country is the United Kingdom of Ruiwei, which has been determined for a long time.
Not long ago, Churchill invited Sherlock Holmes to leave London in the name of Karl IX, but was stopped by Mavey.
If it weren't for Freya's reminder, Ma Wei probably forgot about it.
Now it seems
"You've got a bad idea again." Freya smiled slightly: "I know as soon as I see your expression." ”
Glancing at her, Ma Wei said lightly, "What is a bad idea?" When did the Olympics become a bad idea? ”
"Well, what do you want to do?"
"Not only to do it, but also to do a special thing!"
Pulling out the pen, Ma Wei signed his name on the document and said in surprise: "This is simply an opportunity to send it to the door!" ”
In recent days, he has been worried about how to preach the truth of the Church, and the Olympics have broken the deadlock.
If we can make good use of this opportunity and hold an Olympic event, wouldn't it be just right to show our prominence on the international stage?
At that time, newspapers and magazines from all over the world will report on the Olympics, and there is no better opportunity to publicize it.
A must-do!
And it's a big deal!
"I'm afraid this Olympics is not that simple."
Freya's tone was much more serious: "The Roman Republic, the Kingdom of Frederick and the Bonaparte Empire did not withdraw from the competition, and they all conveyed their intention to participate on time, do you understand?" ”
"It's not good."
"Yes, it's not good." "This is not only an opportunity to promote the Church of Truth, but also an opportunity to suppress the reputation of the Church of Truth," Freya said. ”
"As long as the Apocalypse Divine Department can defeat the Church of Truth in the Olympic arena, it will deal a blow to the prestige of the Church of Truth! This is an event on the premises of the Church of Truth! ”
"If you add more oil and vinegar"
Shaking her head, Freya didn't continue, she thought Mavi understood.
"It's our chance, and it's our opponent's chance."
Ma Wei was not worried, but smiled: "The Olympics is a competition, and it is also a time to compete for strength, and we will not lose." ”
