Father Mavie

Chapter 412 Novgorod (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
"The night wolves have appeared near Lake Ilmen. If the Church of Truth can expel them, we will continue to talk about alliances."

Patriarch Seran was quite sensible, and after careful consideration, he gave an ambiguous answer.

Negotiations are based on equality. When the strengths of the two parties are disparate, the weaker side can only pray for the "mercy" of the stronger side.

The current Church of Truth is naturally the stronger side. Patriarch Seran also knows that he is not the opponent of the Church of Truth, but he still does not know enough about the exact strength of the Church of Truth.

Ma Wei's request is similar to the ancient vassal state and suzerain state. If one wants to take the seat of the suzerain state, one needs to show absolute strength.

To put it bluntly, it is inspection.

If the Church of Truth has shown its strength and is able to shelter the Seran tribe, then Patriarch Seran will naturally seriously consider the matter of forming an alliance. If the Church of Truth cannot even drive out the Nightwolves, what else is there to talk about?
The Seran water monsters dived into the water and disappeared. They did not stay away, and they would move around in the surrounding waters, secretly observing the movement of the Church of Truth.

"Father, why did you form an alliance with the Seran tribe?" Katerina glanced at her, puzzled, and somewhat unable to figure out Mawei's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, all the efforts you are making now are for the future. Do you still remember the Great Northern Alliance we discussed?"

Ma Wei stood on the bank, parted the river, and ordered the following guards to go down to collect the white stones scattered at the bottom of the river, and eradicate and collect all the blue moon algae by the way.

"Remember, your alliance with the Seran tribe is preparing for the Great Northern Alliance?"

"Almost, the tears of the blue moon algae, white stone, and water demon recorded in the classics are all ingredients in the potion formula. After the disaster recovers on a large scale, these potion ingredients will definitely come in handy. It can be sold and exchanged for other goods.”

Ma Wei looked at the baskets of blue moon algae and white stones collected and said: "The extraordinary races, including the blood race and the Seran race, are all creatures created by the ancient gods and possess powerful power. They are harmless to humans. We should win over extraordinary races whose damage is within the manageable range, establish good alliances, and implement sustainable development strategies. The short-term gains may not be as fast as plundering, but in the long run, we not only have the blood race as powerful I can still get their help, isn't this much better than slaughtering them?"

Katerina pondered, and did not shy away from Edward beside her, and said frankly: "But blood races are not completely harmless to humans. They need food, and they get it by hurting humans, even if the transaction is fair and just, the price is clearly marked, and both parties I am willing to love, but the essence still cannot be changed.”

In this era, a kind of "bloodletting therapy" was very popular. When a sick person took medicine mixed with "lauda tincture" and did not get better, many doctors would use tools to cut the patient's skin and perform bloodletting, and firmly believed in this ancient method. Medical treatments work wonders.

Many civilians don't care much about losing some blood, but are optimistic.

In Katerina's eyes, she doesn't believe that bloodletting therapy can really cure the disease. For this matter, she once asked Ma Wei, and Ma Wei gave her the answer:

Phlebotomy is indeed useful for certain diseases, such as patients with hemochromatosis, but how can there be a medical method that works for all conditions?
It is absolutely wrong to blindly use bloodletting therapy from a practical point of view without combining the preceding and following symptoms. There is no doubt about it.

Ma Wei's answer proves that he clearly understands the consequences of excessive blood loss, so...
Katerina had the doubts just now.

"Your Majesty, the Great Northern Alliance I want to build not only takes into account the advanced technology of the Kingdom of Windsor, but also one thing that I dream of and long for."

"You mean the three goddesses of fate?"

"I'm really interested in the three goddesses of destiny. This is also one of the contracts I made with Edward, but in the final analysis, my interest in them comes from the realm of immortality." Ma Wei took a deep breath and said with firm eyes: "Eternal life Domain. What a powerful magic. With it, there will be no diseases other than mental problems in the world. The people need it, and the vampires need it too."

Katerina suddenly understood that the realm of eternal life that can heal all injuries and escape death is simply the gospel of the people!
If they could get it, wouldn't the blood race be afraid of having no food?

All problems will be solved easily!

Ma Wei's planning is absolutely step by step. From the very beginning, he knows what he needs, how to act, and how to deal with the situation that may occur after the action.

There is a strong purpose behind everything he does.

What could be more reassuring than having such an ally?
perhaps
This is the strength that a pope should have.

"You didn't take me in because you wanted me to work for you, did you?" Fat Ju, who was squatting on a big rock on the river beach, suddenly asked.

The corner of Ma Wei's mouth twitched: "Don't make trouble, you are a cat. If I had known that you could form an army of cats and cats, I would have served you with delicious food and drinks. I dare not neglect your old man."

Fat Ju jumped off the rock, shook her plump buttocks, and walked towards the church with graceful catwalks.

"It's time for you to lose weight." Mavi's voice floated.

Fat Orange paused with his paws, and immediately started running towards the church.

After collecting a large amount of white stones and blue moon algae, the guards began to knock on doors from door to door, distributing powder made from white stones, and blue moon algae were carried into the church to be dried and stored for later use.

The warm water mixed with white powder immediately turned into a grayish-white soup, which looked like some kind of weird cement mixture. Christopher and Edward cooperated to help Levin who was like a puddle of mud on the bed, and broke it apart. He pinched his nose and poured the soup into his mouth.

Levine's symptoms were much more serious than Daniel's, he couldn't even speak, and he was exhausted, but Daniel was able to sit up and drink medicine by himself, Ma Wei seriously doubted it.
When visiting the theater yesterday, Levin drank a few more glasses of beer greedily, which caused his symptoms to be extremely serious.

I guess the box of low-quality brandy is finished. No wonder I haven't seen him take out the small flagon recently.
In the evening, Levin woke up faintly. His stomach pain was gone, but his body was weak and his whole body was weak, as if his bones had been pulled away.

"Hiccup~"

After spitting out a piece of chicken bone, full of food and drink, Levin, who had regained some strength, picked his teeth, leaned on the back of the chair, and glanced at Ma Wei who was facing him: "Boss, so as long as we can get rid of the night wolves, Can we form an alliance with the Seran tribe?"

"Well, it should be fine."

"Is the Seran water monster good-looking? Is it pretty?"

"Whatever the mermaid princess looks like, the Seran water demon looks like."

Levin gave a meaningful 'oh', got up and said, "I'm going out for a walk, oops, my body is stiff after lying down all day."

"I advise you not to catch the Seran water demon's attention." Ma Wei picked up a piece of bread and said, "The Seran water demon respects loyalty. They will only have one mate in their life. If the mate dies, they will commit suicide. If the spouse is cheating."

Levin swallowed: "Cheat. What will happen?"

"A Seran nixie kills its mate first, then kills itself."

"You didn't tell me sooner!"

Levin sat back on the chair with a depressed expression.

"Aren't you stiff and want to go out for activities?"

"The diarrhea is almost gone, and you still go out for activities? Is it dead? I want to live a few more days."

Daniel, who was sitting next to him, ate the last bite of bread, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully, and asked, "Teacher, when are we going to Lake Ilmen to drive away the night wolves?"

"Rest overnight, wait for you to recover your strength, and set off tomorrow morning to Novgorod Levin, don't forget the Aurora Society."

"Do you want to take them?"

"Of course, the most valiant fighters must be trained on the battlefield. How can they grow quickly without actual combat?" Ma Wei thought for a while and said, "But we may not necessarily have a conflict with the Night Wolves. Let’s see what’s going on, Junia just wants to go out and play.”

"Great!" Junia excitedly raised her fork with her mouth full, and shouted after swallowing the food, "Finally I can go out and play!"

"Remember to water Ailan before going out. You have eaten so many melon seeds, so you must take good care of it."

"Know it!"

The next morning, when it was just dawn, Junia lifted the quilt and opened the window. The birds on the window sill were so frightened that they chirped and flew away. After taking a few breaths of fresh air, Junia kicked and kicked He ran out of the room, washed up, and went downstairs to water Alan in the yard with the shower. While watering, he said: "Ailan, we are going out to play, you have to watch the house carefully."

Alan, who was obviously much taller, trembled, as if nodding.

"You have to be good, save a few more melon seeds, so that when we come back, I can eat them in one bite!"

Junia bounced away, leaving Alan trembling alone, this time.
Like trembling.

When Mavi, Levin, and Daniel got up, Junia was already sitting at the dining table waiting for them, Xiao Hei followed behind Fat Orange's buttocks, the older brother was older and the younger brother was short, as if she had forgotten about Fat Orange's beating it unconscious yesterday
Of course, it may also be unwilling to face reality.

After breakfast, Ma Wei prepared some magic rings, and strung them together like a key ring for easy collection.

Since defeating the God of Wisdom, they have cleaned up the Church of Truth on the battlefield and obtained a lot of spoils from the God of Wisdom. There are all kinds of magic rings, such as mud shadows, barriers, kings, and queens. Not only that, they also got some special ones. ring.

A golden ring engraved with astrological magic!

The arrow of Luticius, the black goat, Pegasus, and other astrological magics all fell into the hands of the Church of Truth, which is as dazzling as a treasure. In addition to the original parchment scrolls left by the Apocalypse God, the amount of magic mastered by the Church of Truth suddenly increased. It has grown to more than 40 types.
Most of them are general-purpose offensive magic, which can be said to make up for the gap in the Church of Truth's offensive magic.

It can be called timely rain.

In addition to the magic ring, Mavie also found a brown wooden box and a small black bottle on the body of Archbishop Henry. The box was sealed with a circle of gold, and when it was shaken, there would be an ethereal echo, as clear as a bell. I don't know what it does.

The boxes and vials that can be carried by Archbishop Henry are definitely not easy. After cleaning the blood on them, Ma Wei also kept them close to him.

Later in the Winter Palace, Mavi found a strange circular stone platform in the darkroom of Archbishop Henry's room. On the stone platform was placed the wooden statue of Anatole, and below it was a golden pentagram. On the battlefield, there are bones of human limbs.

Ma Wei, who didn't understand this weird magic, remembered Basile who was captured by them, and after a lot of torture.
Basile refused to kill him, and refused to tell the use of the black vial and brown wooden box. He was a model of keeping his mouth shut and would rather die than surrender. Ma Wei admired him and sent Levin.

Levin went out and didn't move the torture tools at all. He just stuck a word in Basile's ear, and Basile's face changed drastically. He immediately told all the functions of the brown wooden box and the black vial. Archbishop Henry's wife has a mole on her chest.
It turns out that the brown wooden box is kept in the treasure house of the Wisdom God Sect. It is a sacred object left since its inception. It is called the Demon Wooden Box, and the soul of a treasure-seeking demon is sealed inside. Whenever a powerful monster appears within a certain range When the magic power fluctuates, the wooden box will vibrate to remind you.

When Mavi lit the psychic white candle in the Znamensky Cathedral in Tyumen City, it was sensed by the wooden box of demons that Archbishop Henry sent Basile and the others to investigate.

As for the white silkworms in the black vial, it needs to be used together with the magic circle in the darkroom of Archbishop Henry’s room. After the magic circle is activated, it can project and communicate regardless of distance and space. The pope's contact is a means of long-distance communication.

There was only one white silkworm, and it was impossible to form a hall of the gods. Ma Wei didn't take it seriously. According to Basile, he regularly squeezed out a drop of blood to feed the silkworm, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Lake Ilmen is located on the south side of Petersburg, northwest of Moscow, not too far from Moscow. If you want to go there by train, you must pass through the city built on the riverside - Novgorod.

The team that went to Novgorod to look for the Night Wolves was mighty. The Aurora Society, Levin, Daniel, and Fat Ju were all dispatched. This time the situation is different from the past. They dare not be careless when dealing with extraordinary races. One is to be cautious. The second is for military training. Although the night wolves are closer to humans, they are creatures under the name of werewolves after all.
When you are not sure about the opponent's means, it is always right to be careful.

Ma Wei didn't plan to bring Fat Ju, but Fat Ju said that he should patrol the territory frequently, and the reason was good enough, so he took it with him.

Leaving Edward and Xiao Hei housekeeper, at 10 am, Ma Wei and others took a special train that was not on the train schedule and set foot on the road to Novgorod
