Father Mavie

Chapter 456 The Frederick Family (Please Subscribe!!!)

The gas lamps hanging on the wall emitted bursts of light, making the whole restaurant bright and majestic. Baron Frederick elegantly cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes wandered to Mavi who was sitting directly opposite.

In addition to Baron Frederick, Stewart, his fiancée Abigail and Mr. Smith, Mavey was also invited to the dinner. In order to show the dignity of the host, Baron Frederick even invited his wife and the wife of the eldest son Killarney.

It seems that this is really a family banquet, and all the people sitting here are a family.

Mavi wasn't fooled by appearances. Baron Frederick was indeed polite and polite, but that didn't mean he didn't have any purpose.

"Which city in the Frederick Kingdom is Mr. Nicholas's ancestral home?" Baron Frederick swallowed the beef in his mouth and asked with a glass of red wine.

"We come from the village of Rissa, south of Freiberg, in Saxony."

"Oh, Freiberg."

Baron Frederick has heard of this city, the famous silver mine excavation site, and the coinage center of the Frederick Kingdom: "Your Excellency is from Frederick, and you have traveled thousands of miles to the Kingdom of Windsor. Is it an arrangement of the family? ?”

Ma Wei shook his head slowly, and explained: "In the Manstein family, there are only our three brothers left, and my daughter, Emma."

"I heard that your name has the middle name 'Von'. This should be a unique feature of the Junker nobles, but you just claimed to be a commoner." Baron Frederick said in surprise: "If the Manstein family is only You three brothers, the title should be inherited by you, Mr. Nicholas."

"Decades ago, our family was indeed an aristocrat. Because of the invasion of Emperor Bonaparte, my grandfather was deprived of his title and became a commoner, so we ran to settle in Lisa Village."

"I see."

Baron Frederick nodded without much reaction. Nobles are usually deprived of their titles only when they make a big mistake, but Emperor Bonaparte was an exception decades ago. He led the army across the continent and occupied the Kingdom of Frederick, forced other kingdoms to form an alliance to defeat him in Mosk.
During Emperor Bonaparte's occupation of the Kingdom of Frederick, many nobles were indeed deprived of their titles. These nobles were usually protesters who did not obey Emperor Bonaparte, so they were punished.

"The First Bonaparte Empire is a despicable and dirty race that dares to call itself an empire!" Baron Frederick sipped his red wine and expressed his thoughts with a sneer. The Windsors and the Bourbons are feuds, and scolding is common. Things, but at this moment Baron Frederick mocked Napoleon in order to promote the relationship with Mavie.

Of course, I don't know if there is any personal emotion in it.

"Mr. Nicholas, please don't worry, Napoleon will taste the taste of failure again. The Kingdom of Windsor can defeat him once, and it can also defeat him a second time!" Mr. Smith sitting on the side said boldly.

It was the allied forces that defeated Napoleon, not the Kingdom of Windsor. The Kingdom of Windsor did contribute, but the root cause of Napoleon's defeat was the cold weather in the Kingdom of Romanov
Of course, Ma Wei would not say these words clearly, he just smiled, bowed his head to eat silently, and waited for the formal topic to be discussed.

Baron Frederick pulled Ma Wei to chat about family affairs, and kept asking him about the Kingdom of Frederick. He was spying openly and secretly, trying to find Ma Wei's 'weakness'.

Ma Wei, who had read the Manstein family tree and was well-prepared, responded fluently, and even told in detail what he saw and heard when he traveled to various countries. He has indeed been to many countries after serving in the Royal Navy for many years.

Not long after, Baron Frederick turned his target to Levin and Daniel. Levin was a little drunk, his cheeks were rosy, and he spoke crappy Windsor. He was very enthusiastic about Baron Frederick's inquiries. And took advantage of the gap to keep inquiring about the Kingdom of Windsor, and occasionally complained about the Kingdom of Frederick.
As for Daniel, Baron Frederick lost interest in him after talking to him for a few words, because Daniel was too arrogant, spoke Windsor very poorly, and was full of swear words. More like street hooligans.

Compared to Levine and Daniel, Mavie is the 'normal person' in the eyes of Baron Frederick.

After many trials, Baron Frederick, who found nothing unusual, exchanged glances with Mr. Smith beside him, then picked up the red wine glass, and took a sip.

Mr. Smith understood and asked: "Mr. Nicholas, I heard from Stuart that the reason you three brothers came to the Kingdom of Windsor this time is to start a company dealing in potions?"

"Yes, I only told Stuer about this matter, please don't publicize it."

Mavi raised his glass, and the other table responded to Stewar's invitation to drink.

"You are Stuart's friend, we will definitely keep it a secret for you." Mr. Smith squinted his eyes, with the fat on his face piled up, and smiled: "The idea of ​​selling potions is very good, I also wanted to do it before, It's a pity that the threshold is too high, I'm afraid only Mr. Nicholas, a businessman who has traveled far and wide and seen the world, can operate it."

"You are too good. I just met some friends from all over the world. They are willing to help me, and I am also happy to bring benefits to them. If there is meat for everyone to eat, the business can last for a long time."

"Everyone eats meat, I like this sentence!" Smith snapped his fingers, asked the maid to refill the red wine for himself, and toasted Ma Wei: "I don't know how you plan to manage potions? I mean, you What did you bring to the Kingdom of Windsor this time?"

Hearing this, Baron Frederick, father and son Stuart stopped their knives and forks, and cast their eyes on Ma Wei.

On the steam airship, Mavi never showed Stewart his strength. If he wants to come to the Kingdom of Windsor to deal in potions, he will definitely not be empty-handed, and he must have a 'stone' when he asks for directions.
Under their watchful eyes, Ma Wei put down the tableware, picked up the white napkin handed by the maid and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, then reached into his arms and took out a sealed glass vial from his arms.

Inside the bottle is a viscous red liquid.

Blood of Mercury!

Passing the glass vial to the maid, Ma Wei generously motioned for everyone to pass it on.

In the dim light, Smith looked at the viscous liquid that glowed with mercury in the crimson, and asked in shock, "Is this a potion? Or an extraordinary herb?"

"The high-level potion, Mercury's Blood, is extremely poisonous, and the extraordinary creatures who take it will lose their ability to move in a short period of time and be slaughtered." Ma Wei said.

"Does it also have an effect on extraordinary creatures?" Smith's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a while before he said, "How much do you plan to sell this bottle of mercury blood?"

"The value of high-level potions is incalculable, especially the raw materials needed to make Mercury's Blood are extremely difficult to obtain. Among them are the soul obsidian condensed after the death of the undead. It is precisely because of these harsh conditions that every 1 ounce The pricing I gave for Blood of Mercury is."

Ma Wei licked his lips and slowly stretched out his palm: "50 gold pounds."

"It's not cheap." Smith pondered: "With all due respect, Mr. Nicholas, how much does this bottle of mercury blood cost you?"

Ma Wei didn't answer, looked straight into Smith's small eyes, and realized that he had asked something that shouldn't be asked. Smith quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious. The threshold for potion business is too high, and I can't do it even if I want to, so You don't have to worry about me competing with you or something"

"Actually, it's okay to tell you guys."

Ma Wei, who had obtained the potion price list formulated by Dino in advance, picked up the wine glass, leaned on the back of the chair, slowly shaking the dark red wine, and said calmly: "The price of an undead soul obsidian, my purchase The price is 5 gold pounds, and other scattered materials add up to at least 2 or 3 gold pounds."

"The cost is less than 8 gold pounds?" Smith's eyes lit up. This is a huge profit!

"Why don't you ask how much blood of mercury can be made with 8 gold pounds of raw materials?"

"Huh?!" Smith's body shook, and he quickly asked, "How much can you make?"

"Eight pounds of materials can make about 8 ounces of Mercury's Blood. One ounce sells for 10 gold pounds, and 1 ounces is 50 gold pounds." Ma Wei smiled: "This is huge profits, Mr. Smith. "

Smith was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth anymore, not only him, but even Baron Frederick and Stuart also showed shocked expressions.

"Could it be that there is no risk?" Smith's eyes were a little red, and he was very emotional: "You set such a high price, will anyone buy it?"

"Of course there are risks, but the risks come from the collectors. I am only responsible for the acquisitions. Their risks are not mine." Ma Wei said with a smile: "As for the price, the blood of mercury is a high-level potion. As long as the quality of the raw materials is high enough High, it can have an effect on a powerful existence like the leader of the extraordinary race, such a precious thing, the price will definitely not be low."

"You are so wicked! But I like it!"

Smith looked excitedly at Baron Frederick, and the two exchanged glances. Baron Frederick said, "Can you sell me this bottle of mercury blood? If you have other items in stock."

"We're all friends. If you like it, Your Excellency the Baron, just treat it as a gift." Ma Wei said with a smile, "I still have a lot here."

"It's really a blessing for our Frederick family to have a friend like you!"

Baron Frederick put away the blood of mercury, clapped his hands, and immediately a maid walked out of the secret door carrying champagne.

"Stull, Smith, let's raise our glasses to welcome the arrival of the three Manstein brothers!"

Stewart, Smith, Abigail and several other hostesses held the champagne together, held it up to Mavic and the others, and said in unison:
"welcome!"
