Father Mavie

With several priests, Ma Wei rushed to the factory in Havering District in the second prince's carriage.

Here they ran into an acquaintance.

"Freya? Why are you here?"

The second prince looked at Freya who was wearing a long red dress and just got off the carriage in surprise, and asked doubtfully.

"Didn't His Majesty want us to go to downtown Westminster?" Freya explained in a calm tone, "Before heading to downtown Westminster, I plan to come here to tell the workers in charge of the warehouse, Hit them, and count the quantity of goods by the way, so as to avoid house thieves."

If it is an old employee, maybe there is no need to check the inventory, but the Manstein Potion Company has just been established, and all the recruits are newcomers who are not familiar with each other, and the price of the potion materials is very high. , What if someone steals the materials and sells them privately?
It is not a trivial matter to guard against day and night, and it is difficult to guard against house thieves.

The second prince nodded and agreed: "It is indeed necessary to beat the workers. Potion materials are not trivial, and they are strictly controlled commodities. Nicholas must be careful. Time is tight. Let's start quickly. One minute late will be more dangerous." .”

"it is good."

Ma Wei walked into the factory and greeted several workers to unload the raw materials on the carriage. Boxes of potion raw materials were transported into the factory, and soon attracted workers' onlookers.

The matter of beating the workers was handed over to Freya. In terms of managing subordinates, nobles have their own unique experience, which is what they are best at.

After unloading the goods, Ma Wei found Jacob and introduced to the second prince: "Your Highness, this is the factory manager I appointed, named Steven Thomas."

"Hello, Your Highness."

Jacob took off the black nylon soft hat on his head, pressed it on his chest, and bowed his head: "I'm Steven Thomas."

"Judging from your accent, you seem to be from the West Island." The second prince asked.

"Yes, my hometown is Dunmore City in the West Island."

"What did you do before?"

"I worked as a brewer, a mason, and later opened a fishing company in Dunmore City," Jacob said truthfully.

"You have a lot of skills." The second prince squinted his eyes and said, "Since you have opened a fishing company, why did you come to London?"

"Because of some business problems, I was kicked out of the company. I was desperate and wanted to come to London to try my luck."

"Oh"

The second prince did not continue to ask, but looked at Mavi: "Nicholas, hurry up and start making potions!"

"no problem."

Ma Wei agreed immediately, and said to Jacob: "Find some workers and follow me into the inner factory."

"Yes, Mr. Nicholas."

Jacob turned and left, and after a while, he brought back five people, all dressed plainly and of different ages, some with gray hair and some with teenagers.

It seemed that they had nothing to do with each other except that they both worked at the Manstein Potion Company, but in fact, these people were all old people from New Rose.

The oldest one is Raymond's father, the old man Ronan Wood of the furniture store. Since Raymond changed his mind and stopped being a street gangster, his gratitude to Ma Wei can no longer be described in words. He was among the members of the church who left New Rose City at the beginning.

The others are also loyal believers that Ma Wei has cultivated over the years. They left the city of New Ross and fled to various parts of the West Island a year ago. Not long ago, Ma Wei wrote to recall them one by one and regrouped.

After selecting the workers, Ma Wei took them into the internal factory, the external factory was responsible for the simple assembly of finished potions, and the internal factory was the core of Manstein Potion Company, responsible for the deployment and production of potions.

The second prince, who came here for the first time, looked curiously at the empty factory building. Although the machine hadn't arrived yet, the basic area had been set up with wooden frames, and the production could officially start as soon as the machine arrived.

Before that, the preparation of potions still needed to be done manually.

"Take out all the materials in the box, and prepare a few crucibles and masks."

Under Mawei's command, Jacob and the others took action, and quickly prepared all the equipment and materials. The six crucibles were placed in the air, keeping a distance from each other, and there was no need to worry about ventilation in the empty factory building. The wind flowing through the crevices is sufficient to disperse dangerous substances.

For the sake of caution, Mavi asked Jacob and others to cover their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs. After all, the raw material of Mercury's blood is mercury, and the mercury vapor emitted is highly toxic, and a little carelessness will cause poisoning.

"I told you before that this kind of plant is called heart tail grass. The bud core is very poisonous. When taking it out, you must wear leather gloves. It is corrosive to metal. It is best to use a glass knife."

Ma Wei picked up a dark green curly plant that was only as long as a finger and had many shoots, carefully cut the root with a small knife made of glass, took out the golden bud core inside, threw it into a glass jar for preservation, and then removed the root The heart end grass is weighed on the balance.

A 1-ounce weight was placed on one side of the balance, and as a few stalks of heart stalks were put down, the balance gradually tilted until it was absolutely balanced, before Ma Wei threw the stalks of heart stalks into the mercury, and slowly stirred them with a glass rod .

During the process of making Mercury's Blood, the second prince stood by and watched, staring carefully at Ma Wei's movements, his eyes almost popping out, wishing he could just memorize the formula on the spot.

Noticing the concentration of the second prince, Ma Wei coughed lightly: "Your Highness."

"what?"

The second prince was startled, and came back to his senses and said, "What's wrong?"

"You are too close. Mercury will emit highly toxic mercury vapor, which is harmful to your body. Although there are priests outside who believe in the goddess of health, Wilder, you don't have to worry about safety issues, but you should stay a little far away to avoid poisoning."

"No, no, no!" The second prince hurriedly said, "I'm fine! Don't worry about me!"

"Your Highness, the formula of Mercury's Blood is a top secret, and it is also the foundation of the Manstein Potion Company, so."

"Oh"

The second prince retreated to the distance, knowing what Ma Wei meant: "Call me when you're done."

Seeing that the second prince was more 'conscious', Ma Wei didn't say much, and continued to lead Jacob and others to make blood of mercury. After a pot of potion was finished, Ma Wei went to the second prince who was standing by the window smoking a cigar, and said in a low voice : "Your Highness."

The second prince turned his head and glanced at Ma Wei: "The production is over?"

"Please don't worry about what happened just now."

"I understand." The second prince took a sip of his cigar and said, "Looking at the whole of London, only our Manstein Potion Company can produce Mercury's Blood, and its formula is unique and must not be disclosed, so you, Nicholas, Orally teach them to Steven instead of writing the recipe on paper”

"Your Highness, do you think that the blood of mercury is really the foundation of the Manstein Potion Company?"

"Isn't that what you just said?"

"I told Steven and the others." Mavie smiled, took out the notepad in his arms, and wrote on the blank page with a pen, saying while writing: "Of course, the potion formula is a family. The company's top priority, if the formula is leaked, it means that our competitors can also produce the same product to compete, so we must keep the formula strictly confidential, but. "

Stab it!

Ma Wei tore off the paper and handed it to the second prince: "Your Highness, this is the formula for Mercury's Blood."

"This"

The second prince looked at Ma Wei in surprise and hesitated, wondering whether he should take it or not.

"As a shareholder of the Manstein Potions Company and as an investor in the Manstein Potions Store, Your Highness, you are qualified to know the formula of Mercury's Blood." Mavi said, "Let's have a look."

Then the second prince took the formula and started to read it carefully. After reading silently several times, he took out the lighter, lit the paper, and burned it in front of Mavi.

"I assure you, Nicholas, I will not tell anyone else the secret of the formula." The second prince said sincerely.

"I will apply for various potion patents, including Mercury's Blood, after the potion-related bill is introduced. As long as the Kingdom of Windsor protects the patents, no other potion company can produce Mercury's Blood, otherwise it will be an infringement. "

Looking at the gray sky outside the window, Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, a good partner is sometimes more important than the company's products. If there is a gap between the partners and they have different ideas, the future of the company will definitely be a mess." dark."

"I understand." The second prince nodded and said, "Nicholas, don't worry, we are on the same boat. No matter what happens, as long as you don't betray me, I will definitely support you with all my strength!"

"I can rest assured that."

Ma Wei smiled slightly, and went back to Jacob and the others, watching them make the potion. This time, the second prince who had seen the formula also came back, but his interest was obviously not as high as before, and he was not so concerned.

A crucible can make 1 pint of mercury blood at a time. With the efforts of six Jacobs at the same time, 1 gallon of mercury blood was made in two batches. It took less than an hour, and the next step was to bottle and seal it. .

The tightly seamed glass bottle was put into a wooden box covered with hay, and rivets were embedded to seal it. Immediately afterwards, Jacob and the others replaced the crucible with a new one, and prepared the magic potion needed to make Sleepy Toast——Assanti.

"What is Assanti?" the second prince asked.

"Didn't you hear me, Your Highness?" Ma Wei said briefly: "Sleepy toast can have magical effects because it is mixed with the hallucinogenic potion Assanti. The toast is normal toast, which makes people think about it." It’s the diluted Assanti.”

As he said that, Ma Wei asked Jacob to bring a small glass bottle, which contained a transparent liquid, and when it was shaken slightly, dense bubbles would appear.

The second prince took the glass bottle and was about to sniff it when he was suddenly stopped by Ma Wei: "Your Highness, Assanti is very volatile, and the smell it emits can also make people hallucinate, and the undiluted Assanti, the concentration Too high, and the effect is more violent than lethargic toast."

"How violent?" The second prince asked after covering the glass bottle.

"Dozens of times stronger than lethargic toast."

"That is to say. You diluted a bottle of Assanti by dozens of times?"

"Almost, a 1 ounce bottle of Assanti can make 28 servings of Sleepy Toast, and 1 ounce of Asanti costs only 1 gold pound, but it can be sold for 10 times or even 20 times as high. In conversion, Sleepy Toast Even more lucrative than Blood of Quicksilver."

The second prince was amazed: "Sleepy Toast is indeed selling better than Mercury's Blood, mainly because Mercury's Blood is useless for ordinary people to buy it home!"

"Whether the undiluted Assanti is highly addictive is still inconclusive, but the diluted lethargic toast is not addictive, provided that the toast is not eaten as a meal."

As he was talking, Ma Wei suddenly remembered something: "Brandon Archbishop, he buys a lot of sleeping toast every day, why does he buy so much?"

"."

The second prince recalled that the last time he saw Archbishop Brandon happened to be at lunch time, and the other party was holding a one-pound lethargic toast and gnawing on it like a leg of lamb.
"Nicholas, I think the undiluted Ashanti should be addictive." The second prince wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Brandon is probably addicted to sleeping toast, he doesn't eat all day , just eat the bread."

"?"

Ma Wei never thought that a majestic archbishop in red would be addicted to sleeping toast. Is his willpower so weak?

Drinking too much water can be poisonous, not to mention the hallucinogenic potion Assanti?
"What is Assanti's formula?" the second prince asked.

"The blood of the water demon, the apple juice from the head of the tree people, together with distilled pure water, red bead powder and extracted heart weed rhizome toxin"

Ma Wei said slowly: "Add these ingredients to pure water without impurities and boil until the liquid becomes transparent, then it will be the hallucinogenic potion Assanti."

"Although Assanti is a medium-level potion, the difficulty of making it can only be considered low, and it can be ranked in the medium level. First, it is because its raw materials are difficult to obtain, and second, because it can also produce effects on extraordinary beings."

"Water demon. Is it a siren?" The second prince thought for a while: "I seem to have seen it in the classics."

"The Sirens are sea monsters, and the water demons refer to the Serans, extraordinary creatures that live in fresh water and exist in all waters."

dong dong!

The door of the inner factory was knocked suddenly, Freya pushed the door and walked in, looked at Mavi and the second prince who were talking and asked, "Have you done it?"

"You can leave at any time." Ma Wei said: "Let the sleeping toast be made by Steven and the others. After the production is completed, it will be sent to the orderer."

"Let's go then."

Freya turned around and said, "The church sent someone to remind me just now."

Bringing the blood of quicksilver they made, Mavic rushed to the city of Westminster. When they passed St. Paul's Cathedral, they handed the blood of quicksilver to the bishop who was staying inside, and officially delivered it.

The church would not be in arrears of funds. After confirming that it was correct, the bishop settled the payment on the spot, a total of 7400 gold pounds. Because of the large order quantity, Ma Wei gave the church a 9% discount.

After delivering the goods, Mavi came to the Regent's Park villa area where the second prince lived again, and joined Levin and Edward who came earlier.

"Brother, what about Jonas?"

"Felix doesn't have to worry." The second prince waved his hand and said, "The order to suspend classes has been communicated. Tonight at the latest, the students will all return to London to reunite with their families. The Archbishop of Camberley and the others will be responsible for escorting them. question!"

"Nicholas, it's rare for everyone to get together, there is a banquet tonight, you must attend!"
