Father Mavie

Chapter 455 London, the capital of the kingdom (please subscribe!!!)
March 11, London.

Gray clouds covered the sky, and the whole land was gray and black. A slow steam airship approached from a distance, and when it approached London, it began to descend, preparing to dock in an open space in the outskirts.

The three-day and two-night airship journey is coming to an end, and there is no crisis along the way, even if there is a crisis, Mavi is not afraid, they are fully prepared for this trip, no matter what happens, there is a way to deal with it.

On the observation deck on the second floor, guests who packed their bags gathered, looking through the glass at the majestic city below, shrouded in yellow and black mist, the political and economic center of the Kingdom of Windsor—London!
In addition to the towering church, Mavie also saw Buckingham Palace surrounded by greenery and the Houses of Parliament standing along the Thames River. He had been to London, but it had been so long that he could not remember what it looked like.

"Everyone, you are welcome to board the airship William. In 20 minutes, we will land in the eastern suburbs of London. The temperature in London is currently 4°C. Please keep warm. I am Captain Ferdinand. I am very happy to spend this time with you all. journey"

Ferdinand, wearing a hard-rimmed helmet, issued a farewell declaration to the passengers, implying that the journey is coming to an end. In fact, the experience of the steam airship is not perfect. He still feels excited on the first day. On the second and third days, the excitement The sense of feeling has completely declined, and the narrow space for activities and the cramped and thin air on the airship make people feel oppressed and out of breath.
In any case, it is very exciting to be able to take the steam airship, which is a cross-age means of transportation. Mavi didn't feel much, but Junia was very happy. During these three days, she ate all the snacks on the airship. There are new 'insights' every day, and the pastry chef knows her.

The "William" airship descended slowly, and when it was nearly 100 meters from the ground, the demon wooden box placed in Ma Wei's arms suddenly vibrated violently, trembling as if about to fly away, sweeping away the tranquility of the past.

Of course, the fluttering clothes will attract the attention of others. Fortunately, Ma Wei and Junia stood in front of the window, their backs blocked the sight of others, and did not cause a commotion. When everyone was not paying attention, Ma Wei quietly took out his clothes The demon wooden box from the box was smashed hard against the iron railing twice.

clang!
clang!
Two crisp sounds made everyone look at each other. Ma Wei calmly put away the demon wooden box that had returned to silence, and said, "The railings are quite strong."

"What's wrong, brother?"

Levin, who was familiar with Mavi, didn't think that Mavi would take the time to test the strength of the airship railing, especially the box he just took out, which was obviously a transcendent item.

"It's okay." Ma Wei whispered: "It should be aware of the existence of the three goddesses of fate, this thing is reminding us."

The magic wooden box is a very 'intelligent' extraordinary item. The level of intelligence depends entirely on the state of mind of the 'treasure hunter' sealed inside. Obviously, when approaching London, this 'treasure hunter' lost his mind. , frantically reminding Mavie to escape
In fact, it can't be blamed, it's a little devil, how can it know Ma Wei's plan?

After smashing it twice, the 'treasure hunter demon' in the box seemed to realize the thoughts of the current owner, stopped warning, and returned to its former silence.

"Mr. Nicholas."

Stuart, with his fiancée in his arms, came over and said to Ma Wei: "I will get off the airship later, and a carriage will pick me up. If you don't mind, how about we go together? It happens that my father is holding a family dinner tonight , I would like to invite you to participate."

Accompanying people and family dinners are all pretexts. Stuart's real purpose is to bring the Mavics back home, introduce them to Baron Frederick, and talk about the potion business.

"Our three brothers haven't found a place to live yet, so."

"Don't mind, just stay at my house tonight. Our Frederick family likes to make friends the most. It would be a great honor for us if you, Mr. Nicholas, could come." Stuart said with a smile.

"That's it"

Ma Wei 'reluctantly' agreed: "Then bother."

It was already evening when the steam airship arrived in London, and it was too late to look for a house at this time, so the Mavics could only stay in a hotel tonight. Since they wanted to stay in a hotel, why not stay in Frederick's villa?

Saved money, and even negotiated business, killing two birds with one stone!

At 5 o'clock in the evening, the steam airship slowly landed on the open space in the eastern suburbs, and the gangway was lowered. As soon as Ma Wei and the others stepped out of the airship, they saw the dazzling light of the flashlight.

Clap!

Clap!

In the rising smoke, the reporters hid behind strange wooden box-like props, covered their heads with black cloths, and kept pressing the shutter to take pictures of the airship.

London is a highly developed city. Cameras, which are extremely rare in Moscow, have been widely used here. The industrial and technological differences between the Romanov Kingdom and the Windsor Kingdom can be seen.

"Mr. Nicholas, please follow me."

Led by Stewart, Ma Weiji got off the airship, walked through the crowd, and came to a luxury carriage parked beside the road. This is a four-wheeled carriage wider than ordinary carriages. The crest of the Redrick family is pulled by two strong black horses, and the seats are covered with soft cushions, which is extremely luxurious and can accommodate 6 adults.

"Master Stuart."

Beside the carriage, a grey-haired butler bowed to Stuart and asked, "Are these your friends?"

"That's right, Mr. Nicholas and the others are my invited guests, bypassing the Eastern District."

"clear."

The butler opened the car door without asking about the specific identities of Ma Weiji. From his polite attitude, he could feel that he had received an absolute elite education.

The butlers of noble families are not ordinary people, they are usually children of other butler families, have a certain social status, have received good butler education, are rigorous and loyal, always wear a well-pressed tuxedo, black bow tie, and white gloves, His back was straight and his hair was not messed up.
Strictly speaking, stewards are not servants of nobles, but hired 'family members'.

The status of a butler in the eyes of nobles is the same as that of a family member, except that both parties abide by the rules.

The top butlers come from the butler family that has been passed down from generation to generation. Their father is a butler, and their sons are also butlers. They are not nobles, but they are better than nobles, and even more like nobles than nobles.

London is divided into inner and outer areas, with a total of 33 districts. Roughly divided, it can be divided into five major districts: east, west, north, west, and central. Among them, East London has the worst law and order and is a hell for the poor, while West London is the richest and a paradise for the rich.

Although Frederick is a baronial family, it is also a very old hereditary aristocrat. Unlike the emerging aristocrats who have risen in recent years and like to build a mansion in Hampstead Green, a suburb in the northwest, they have long been in the Ealing District of West London. Purchased a mansion and enjoyed the life of aristocrats.

Junia, who came to London for the first time, was lying on the window and curiously observing the city shrouded in fog. When the sun completely set, the gas lamps on the street lit up one by one, and the dim yellow light formed a halo in the fog. , announcing the coming of night.

Perhaps it was because Stuart was unwilling to contact the poor. The four-wheeled carriage with the family crest on it deliberately bypassed the chaotic and dirty East End of London, along the banks of the Thames, passed the Houses of Parliament, and arrived at the Frederick family's villa in Ealing. .

The carriage drove into the yard, and the heavy iron gate closed behind it. Ma Wei and the others just got out of the carriage in the cold wind, when the gate of the ancient mansion that looked like square bricks suddenly opened in front of them, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes left. Coming out, after seeing Stuart, he nodded to him: "Stuart, father and Mr. Smith are waiting for you."

"Brother Killarney." Seeing the man wearing a coat, Stuart asked, "It's so late, are you going out?"

"I have something to do with the company. I need to go out for a while. You don't have to wait for me for the dinner."

After speaking, Killarney got into the carriage and left the mansion. The carriage disappeared gradually into the mist.

"Mr. Nicholas, come with me."

With his arms around his fiancée's waist and the wooden box, Stuart smiled at Mavi: "I'll introduce you to Father and Mr. Smith."

Following Stewart, Ma Wei and the others entered the mansion and came to the living room on the first floor. There were two middle-aged men sitting on the sofa, about the same age. They looked like they were in their 50s. One was wearing a neat black suit and had a thin face. One has a mustache and a serious smile, the other is a little fatter, wearing a few sparkling gemstone rings on his hands, smiling all the time, harmless to humans and animals.

"Abigail! Stewart! Ha!"

The middle-aged man with a slightly fat body and wearing a few gemstone rings stood up, hugged Stuart heavily and walked over, kissed his cheek, and asked softly: "My dear children, are you having fun? "

"Mr. Smith, we had a great time. It was a present from me, but I gave it to someone else, if I offend you."

Stuart turned his body sideways and said loudly: "Father, Mr. Smith, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Nicholas von Manstein, from the Kingdom of Frederick. These two are his younger brothers, Felix Si and Jonas, as well as his daughter Emma and housekeeper Yannick, they are the grocery merchants I met on the trip, and they deal in potions!"

"Potion?"

Mr. Smith rolled his small eyes around and narrowed his eyes even deeper. Even the unsmiling middle-aged man sitting on the sofa frowned. After a short hesitation, he stood up and stretched out his palm to Ma Wei: "Welcome, I It is James Frederick, Baron."

"Nicholas von Manstein." Ma Wei shook his hand and introduced himself: "Civilian."

"Your Excellency speaks Windsor well."

"Thank you for the compliment. Our three brothers have worked hard outside these years, and we have indeed learned some languages."

"Since it's a guest invited by Stuer, we can't wait any longer. Dinner will be ready soon. Let's go to the restaurant and talk slowly."

"it is good."
