Chapter 568 New discovery (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
9pm, South London, Canary Wharf.

"Turnover was down 30% last quarter, capture was down 40%, what's causing that?"

In the room with flickering lights, Fat Ju squatted on the table, looking at the quarterly report in front of him, with a very serious tone.

A young man standing in front of the desk said: "The main fishing area of ​​the company is in the fishing area of ​​the Western Ocean. In previous years, the harvest has always been good. I don't know what happened this year. There are often winds and waves on the sea, resulting in lower and lower harvests."

Fat Orange looked at the young man in front of him wearing a white shirt with a stand-up collar and a deep black wool jacket, and said in a serious tone: "Raymond, the company's income is very important. If the income of the fishing area in the Western Ocean declines, the fishing boats should be allowed to go there without wind and waves." place, isn't it?"

"Ko Ke, the sailors all said that the sea god was angry when there was a big storm at sea, and they wanted to go on strike."

"The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish." Fat Ju said, "I think they think they are earning less, so they told the fishing boat owners to increase the performance commission this quarter, and give them 100 gold for every 5 pounds of fish caught. A bonus of [-] pounds, avoid areas where wind and waves often occur, and go fishing in sea areas with stable climate!"

"understood."

The young man in the room is named Raymond Wood, who is one of the believers of the Church of Truth. A year ago, Raymond Wood was an idle street gangster. Since he joined the Church of Truth and left the city of New Rose, he seemed to have awakened. , began to learn carpentry from his old man, and married a wife. When he learned that Jacob's fishing company needed manpower, he immediately came to help.

Originally, Raymond Wood also wanted to follow Jacob into the Manstein Potion Company, but Fat Ju couldn't show up. The fishery company needed a reliable man to help manage it, so he stayed. The whole fishery company was only him. Know that the boss behind the scene is a cat.

Raymond Wood didn't even tell his wife about it.

"By the way, inform the fishing boat owner that if you catch lampreys, release them."

"Release?" Raymond was stunned for a moment: "The price of lampreys in the market is very expensive. Many nobles like to eat lampreys. A half-pound lamprey can be sold for a high price of 2 gold pounds. It is the most valuable fish in the sea, why should it”

"You don't need to ask so many questions. Also, I read on the company's business plan that the ocean-going whaling business will be launched in the second half of the year?"

"Yes." Raymond nodded: "Mr. Jacob Steven found that ocean-going fishing boats are the most profitable, so he wants to send boats to the ocean to catch valuable fish such as salmon, tuna and whales. If there is no accident , each trip can earn hundreds of gold pounds."

"Cancel."

"Cancel this too?!"

Fat Orange licked his paws and said, "The whaling business has been cancelled, and the ocean-going fishing boats will proceed as planned. In short, our company does not catch lampreys and whales. This is different from the past, and some risks must be avoided."

Lamprey is Edward's family member.

If the fishing company under Fat Ju's name catches lampreys wantonly, even if Edward doesn't say anything, he will definitely feel dissatisfied in his heart. Fat Ju won't be upset over such a trivial matter, and it can still handle it clearly. .

as for the whale
At the beginning in the extreme northern seas, it was the whale ancestor Saixida who helped them repel the North Sea giant monster Kraken. If Da helped it, it would not allow the fishing boats below to kill whales.

It's very simple.

After discussing the company's business, Raymond left. He had to rush back to Dunmore City overnight to convey Fat Orange's order. After changing the boss, Steven Fishery Company officially changed its name to Holy Trinity Ocean Fishery Company. It was proposed to change the name to Yuduoduo Fishery Company, but the name sounded too stupid, and finally after careful consideration, November 11, when the goddess came, was chosen as the new name of the company.

With the name change, the company can no longer be limited to Dunmore, a small seaside town. Fat Orange plans to transfer the company to London for development. Anyway, London is close to the Thames River and has convenient transportation, so there is no problem at all.

After Lei Meng left, Fat Ju jumped off the desk and walked towards the door with his tail upright, intending to visit Xiao Hei and see what was going on there.

As soon as the four soles of the feet stepped out of the gate, the body suddenly froze. Fat Ju looked around. There was no one on the street, and he couldn’t see his fingers. It is much better than a domestic cat like Xiao Hei, and its sense of smell is also very keen.

There was a familiar smell in the air.

"Friday?" Fat Orange asked tentatively, "Is that you?"

"Meow"

In the darkness, a blue shadow rushed out of the alley and ran to Fat Ju, with his head down, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing Friday, Fat Ju's tense body relaxed slightly: "Why are you here? Didn't you tell me to stare at the eyeliner sent by Mr. Butler?"

Before Friday could speak, Fat Ju stepped forward suddenly, blocked it behind him, watched the darkness ahead vigilantly, arched his back, and assumed an attacking posture.

"come out!"

The golden hoops on the limbs glowed dazzlingly in the dark, and Fat Orange activated the water mist magic without hesitation. It didn't know who the enemy was, but the comer was definitely not good!
The traces were exposed, and Ma Wei naturally had no intention of continuing to hide. His body rose from the mud shadow magic, and the smell spread out all of a sudden. Fat Ju was stunned for a moment when he smelled the familiar smell, and then released the magic immediately.

"It turned out to be you."

"I can't do it?"

Fat Ju didn't answer Ma Wei, she glanced at her in silence, and Friday, who wanted to be an invisible cat, sneered, "You brought them here?"

"He threatened me with balls!" Friday said with an aggrieved face, "Is a male cat without balls still a male cat? Xiaomei is still waiting for me at home."

"Forget it, even if you don't bring them here, you will meet them sooner or later."

Fat Orange forgave Friday's behavior, but it has nothing to do if it doesn't forgive, if Friday really dares to disobey the order, Ma Wei will definitely slap its balls, this is not a joke.

"I didn't expect you to use Canary Wharf as your base."

Looking at the surrounding environment, Mavi is very satisfied. The factory where Fat Orange is located is located in the Canary Wharf area. Most of the surrounding areas are warehouses or old stone houses, not residential areas. After nightfall, there are few people around except night watchmen. Activities are highly concealed, and it is obviously a good choice to use this place as a base.

Just as he was talking, a dim light came on in the distance, as if someone was coming with a kerosene lamp. Seeing this, Fat Ju temporarily canceled the plan to meet Xiao Hei, took Ma Wei and others back to the factory building, and closed the door. Door.

"I heard from Friday that you sent it to monitor Mr. Steward's people? Have you noticed Mr. Steward?"

Marvie didn't ask why the Orange didn't go to him when he returned to London. The reason Friday had already been said was that the Orange must have plans of its own.

"I have indeed been in contact with Mr. Steward." Fat Orange said: "A month ago, Xiao Hei and I brought Friday and Xiao Mei back to London. I wanted to go directly to Baron Frederick's villa to find you, but in the end You have already left, London is too big, I want to find you, and I need the help of other cats, so I took Xiao Hei and they started to integrate the stray cats in London."

Ma Wei gradually understood what happened.

A month ago, Fat Ju and Xiao Hei took Friday and Xiaomei to explore London. London is a huge city. There are not [-] to [-] stray cats living here, especially around the docks and warehouses. A frequented place.

Fat Orange, blessed by the goddess, brought Xiao Hei, a group of foreign cats, and invaded the territory of stray cats in London. Because they controlled the fishing company and had small dried fish and canned food, they quickly subdued a large group of younger brothers and paid for gold. Based on Canary Wharf, it established its own power.

The more chaotic the place, the more stray cats. In the process of integrating the stray cats in London, Xiao Hei accidentally came into contact with the underground black market. After telling Fat Ju, he successfully attracted the attention of Fat Ju. All the stray cats living in London It is said that there is a restricted area in London, which is the underground black market.

The street where the underground black market is located is one of the forbidden places that cats do not want to approach, because since last year, the cats on that street have always died strangely and violently.

Ordinary cats are afraid of the underground black market, but Fat Orange is not. On the night when he learned the address of the underground black market, he took Xiao Hei to the Kingston area of ​​South London where the black market is located. Here, he met a man.

Mr. Steward!

"When Xiao Hei and I were investigating the underground black market, we met a man. At first we didn't know that he was Mr. Steward, but we only knew that he had a high prestige in the black market. The carriage in which we traveled had a black curtain, and many people who saw the carriage Dodge, but it's not a noble carriage, out of curiosity, Xiao Hei and I secretly followed."

Fat Orange said: "We followed the carriage all the way to Newham Street, and saw the carriage entered a factory. On the surface, that factory was for making toys, but in fact, there was a secret laboratory hidden underground!"

"Secret laboratory?" Ma Wei asked curiously, "What experiment is Mr. Steward doing?"

"In vivo experiments!"

Fat Ju's eyes were serious, and he didn't seem to be joking at all: "In the laboratory, there are many strange specimens, all of which are different, as if stitched together by many kinds of creatures, some are human bodies and pig heads, and some are human bodies. It's a horse's body with a human's head In addition to these, we also found the corpses of many extraordinary creatures!"

Frowning slightly, Ma Wei immediately realized that things were not that simple. Fat Ju's discovery was enough to show that Mr. Butler was conducting some kind of terrible and bloody experiment.

"They will raise animals, such as ordinary animals such as mice, cats and dogs, keep them in cages, and inject a shot of unknown liquid extracted from the corpses of extraordinary creatures every day. The animals injected with the liquid will soon die. Will die." Fat Orange said: "In addition to animals, they will also experiment with living people!"

"Extracting an unknown liquid from an extraordinary creature"

Mavi didn't know what Mr. Steward was researching, but these experiments were undoubtedly terrifying.

"and then?"

"The underground laboratory is very big. Xiao Hei and I investigated separately. As a result, during the investigation, Xiao Hei was caught and put in a cage."

"Wait." Edward wondered: "Xiao Hei is also a cat who has received the gift of the goddess. It is also an extraordinary creature. How could it be caught by ordinary people?"

"There should be some kind of magic circle in the laboratory that suppresses power. After entering, neither Xiao Hei nor I can exert our power, and we become like ordinary cats." Fat Orange's beard trembled slightly: "Xiao Hei was also injected with that It was a strange liquid, but it did not die like other experimental subjects, and survived successfully, this discovery caught the attention of Mr. Steward, and Xiao Hei seemed to be the only living body that survived their experiment."

All the ordinary animals injected with the unknown liquid died, but Xiao Hei was fine. This phenomenon can only be explained by the fact that Xiao Hei had received the gift of the goddess. It was also Junia's gift that had an effect when fighting the curse in New Rose City.

"Little Hei, who has nothing to do, was released from the cage by them and no longer conducted experiments. He was fed by Mr. Steward himself. As you all know, Little Hei, he knows how to read words and expressions, and he quickly won the trust of Mr. Steward. Privileged access to the laboratory."

Hearing this, Ma Wei seemed to be able to imagine Xiao Hei's unlimited appearance. I have to say that a docile, cuddly and clingy cat is really likable.

"In the future, I let Xiao Hei stay with Mr. Steward, while continuing to investigate the laboratory, while inquiring about Mr. Steward's information, I think this is very important." Fat Orange recalled and said: "The The tools are also very strange. They are all big silver boxes that are integrated with the ground. There are many magic circles engraved on them. They don’t match the surrounding environment. They probably came from somewhere. energy drive."

Big silver box?
Carved with many magic circles?
Merge with the ground?
Why do these conditions sound so familiar?
While pondering, Ma Wei suddenly remembered the golden age ruins he found in Londinium, and the houses there fit the characteristics mentioned by Fat Ju!

Could it be that the tools used in the laboratory were dug out of Londinium?

Ma Wei was startled and felt that it was impossible, but the ruins of Londinium had been buried underground for thousands of years, and it was normal for others to discover it.

At least, Mavi can be sure that before they discovered the ruins, members of the ancient gods had already taken away the living statue of Kraken, the giant monster of the North Sea.

Isn't it also because of the ancient gods that they are eyeing the underground black market?
Mr. Steward, who is related to the forces of the ancient gods, is it strange to use the tools dug out from the ruins of Londinium?

"Did you think of something?" Fat Ju noticed the strange expression on Ma Wei's expression.

"Is the underground laboratory very big?"

"It's huge."

"Is it deep?"

"According to Xiao Hei's report, the underground laboratory has a total of 7 floors. Calculated at 4 meters per floor, the depth is about 30 meters."

It is obviously impossible to touch the Londinium buried 30 meters underground. If you want to transport things from Londinium, you need at least a deep well leading directly to the ground.

If the tools used in the laboratory were really transported from Londinium, where is the entrance to the underground?

Could it be under the laboratory?

"Are you sure the lab is only seven floors deep?"

"I'm sure." Fat Ju said firmly: "Xiao Hei has been with Mr. Steward for almost a month, and he has already figured out the situation in the underground laboratory. There is really no deeper place."

If the entrance to the deep well is not in the laboratory, how will Mr. Steward transport the heavy tools to the laboratory?
The eyeliner of the Church of the Three Fates can be seen everywhere in London, and blatant delivery is definitely impossible. In this case, Mr. Steward must have his own unique channel.

Mavi remembered that Mr. Steward used the funeral train to transport werewolves. The train can transport tools, but the target is too big and it is easy to be found
"what?"

It suddenly occurred to Ma Wei that besides the train, there is a unique way of transportation in London.
Metropolitan Subway!
If the entrance to the deep well and the transportation channels are hidden underground, there is no fear of being discovered by the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, and everything makes sense!
