Father Mavie

Chapter 516 New Identity (Subscribe!!!)
"Your Highness, you are in such a hurry to ask me to come back, what happened?"

The bishop wearing a white robe was baptizing the believers with holy water. Everyone's attention was focused on the baptismal stand. Gawain, who was sitting in the corner, was observing the movement around him while asking in a low voice.

In the letter Arthur sent to him, he did not specify the specific situation, but only asked Gao Wen to return to London at an optional date to discuss important matters.

On the way back, Gawain kept wondering whether Arthur had encountered some unsolvable major problem, and had to recall him from the outside as a last resort.

Arthur glanced around to make sure that no one had noticed them, and then briefly explained Mavi's plan in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

After listening, Gao Wen nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the case."

"To do this, you need to provide all your private information. If you don't want to, I can understand." Arthur said, "I can find someone else."

"No, Your Highness." Gao Wen said seriously: "Your Highness, you know me well. I have been investigating the cause of my father's death these years. I have to be busy with company affairs, I can't spare time, and identity issues make it difficult to conduct in-depth investigations. Swapping identities with Father Mawei can free me from company affairs, so that I have enough time to do other things Something happened."

"You agree?"

"Ah."

"Okay, tonight, come to this address, and someone will pick you up there."

Arthur took out a finger-sized note and handed it to Gawain, then got up and walked towards the baptismal platform, while Gawain took the opportunity to leave the church.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, as the night was getting darker, a grand carnival party was being held on Albany Street on the east side of Regent's Park. A mysterious wealthy businessman bought all the beer in Mrs. Crispy Breast Tavern and provided it to the guests for free. Word spread, and residents immediately flocked, packing the streets.

In such a lively scene, the witchers will naturally have to keep a close eye on it. Even Scotland Yard has strengthened its personnel patrols near Albany Street. Not only residents who came to this street to receive free beer, but also came here to sniff the smell 'mouse'.

In order to prevent their wallets from being stolen, many experienced residents simply put their wallets at home and only carry a few pennies with them for emergencies. In this way, even if the money is stolen, they don’t have to feel bad, just treat it as money for beer.

As more and more people gathered on Albany Street, Gao Wen's figure also appeared in the crowd. He followed the crowd to the front of Mrs. Crispy Breast Tavern and sneaked into the shop.

The refreshing beer with bubbles and white foam is handed out one cup after another to the customers who enter the store. The boss, who wears low-cut clothing and exposes two hemispheres, flirtatiously winks at the guests, and the guests stare with big eyes. He wished he could plunge into the soft chest of the proprietress without anyone noticing Gao Wen beside him.

Gawain hid at the edge of the crowd and moved slowly towards the bar. Just as he was approaching the bar partition, an arm suddenly grabbed his sleeve from below. Gawain lowered his head and saw a man with dirty cheeks and dressed in The little girl in the red plaid skirt was twelve or thirteen years old.

The little girl made a silent gesture to him, pulled him through the counter partition, bent over, and came to the backstage of the tavern.

Gawain had never seen this little girl before, and he didn't even know that the proprietress of the Crispy Breast Tavern was also loyal to Arthur's subordinates. Arthur was very mysterious, he trusted Gawain, he trusted his Knights of the Round Table, but the trust belonged to him, Many secrets, only he knows.

The backstage of the tavern is full of wooden boxes and oak barrels for wine, which is crowded and narrow. The little girl shuttles among them, nimbly like a red elf. She leads Gawain all the way to the storage room, pushes away the dusty shelves, and presses the left hand The second stone brick in the third row and the fifth stone brick in the first row on the right hand only heard a 'click', and one piece bounced off the floor.

Under Gawain's gaze, the little girl tiptoed to remove the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall, held it up high, and handed it to Gawain.

"."

Gawain took the kerosene lamp, and the little girl opened the bounced floor, and there was a dark staircase leading to the ground below. She pushed Gawain's back with both hands, and pushed him forward until Gawain walked into the stairs. Only then closed the floor, jumped up and stepped on it a few times.

After confirming that the floor is perfectly closed, restore the shelf to its original position, then grab the earthen pot placed in the corner, grab a handful of dust inside, and sprinkle it on the ground and the shelf.

Gao Wen walked alone in the dark and dark tunnel, the surrounding darkness was approaching, and the air was icy cold.

The proprietress, the little girl, and the mysterious rich businessman who booked out the restaurant
Of course, these phenomena were not coincidences, but what Arthur did. Gawain didn't know anything. He had just returned to London, and this place was not his territory.

"His Royal Highness hides really deeply."

While walking, Gao Wen suddenly sighed faintly.

He couldn't see through Arthur, or in other words, Arthur had changed a lot in the year since he returned to London.

Arthur is not the same as in New Rose City. He has made more arrangements in London. Mrs. Crispy Breast's tavern is just one of them. Other invisible places. How many more?

Vaguely, Gawain recalled the scene when he and Arthur first met many years ago. At that time, Arthur was just a child who was swallowed by hatred. Now many years have passed in a flash, Arthur.
He has grown into a real man.

He became withdrawn and silent.

In Arthur's body, Gawain saw a trace of the aura that belonged to the king.

As the second seat of the Knights of the Round Table and one of the first members to pledge allegiance, Gawain felt that he should be happy for Arthur's growth, but he felt a little fear when he was happy.

You know, kings are often cold-blooded creatures.

Praise and encouragement to subordinates, even closeness and love, are just the means used by kings to control people.

"You should be wary of smiles on other people's faces, not hate."

"Hatred makes you alert, but smiles paralyze you."

"When the superior smiles at you, it's time for you to think about your own advances and retreats."

Gawain's father's voice sounded in Gawain's mind. Arthur seldom smiled. Even when he smiled, it was a sneer at the enemy. When he was with his subordinates, he often showed no expression.

While thinking about it, Gawain came to an iron gate. There were no cloaks and swords belonging to the Knights of the Round Table hanging beside the door, which meant that the proprietress of Madam Crispy Breasts tavern was not a Knight of the Round Table, and the secret passage in the storage room might be a special emergency entrance.

Looking at the rusty spots on the iron door due to the long history, Gawain was even more convinced that Arthur had established this secret passage a long time ago. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

dong dong!

The heavy iron door opened, and a warm current rushed in. In the spacious dark room, there was a huge wooden round table. Above the table, there were six bright red flags hanging, which were the commandments of the knights of the round table.

【Never rage and murder】

【Never Betray】

Everything has the same layout as the darkroom under the city of New Ross, and it is unknown who imitated whom.

At the head of the round table sat a blond man, it was Arthur, and beside him sat a few people who were both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Gao Wen, let me introduce you, this is Father Mawei, Levin Bodger and Daniel."

Strange because Gao Wen had never formally communicated with Ma Wei before today, and familiar because Gao Wen had investigated Ma Wei long ago.

Gawain took off his hat and leaned forward slightly: "Father Marvie, it's our first meeting. I'm Russell Benjamin."

"Mr. Benjamin, I have known you for a long time." Ma Wei smiled and said, "I have heard Arthur mention you a long time ago, the second knight of the round table, Gawain on a white horse, right?"

"You are absurd." Gawain said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Sit down."

Arthur beckoned to Gawain, beckoning him to sit beside him, and after asking the maid to serve the red wine, he said in a deep voice, "After tonight, Gawain, you are no longer Russell Benjamin, and you cannot contact your relatives by any means. , you must completely forget the identity of Russell Benjamin, there is only one Russell Benjamin in the Kingdom of Windsor, and that is Father Mavie, do you understand?"

"clear."

"If you have something to say to your family, write it down as soon as possible."

"They already know what I want to say."

"Ah."

Arthur nodded slightly, looked at Mavi, and after meeting his eyes, he said again:

"Then let's get started, Gao Wen. You tell Father Mawei all the information about Russell Benjamin without omission. No matter what happens in the future, you must not interfere with Russell Benjamin's affairs until the exchange is over."
