Father Mavie

"Big brother."

As the evening approached, Daniel opened the door and saw Mavi and Junia sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

"Back? How's the situation?"

"The students of Eton College were all sent home and gathered in downtown Westminster. I just said goodbye to some of my classmates. As for London"

Daniel thought about it and said, "On the way back, I didn't see supernatural creatures attacking ordinary residents, only demon hunters were constantly searching and patrolling."

The Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate said that the escaped prisoners would take revenge on the church and the kingdom, and attacking ordinary civilians was obviously not the best way to take revenge. Most of the prisoners' targets were nobles and officials who had a gap with them.

According to the church's thinking, as long as the nobles and officials are well protected, the prisoners' revenge can be destroyed. If the prisoners can't find the nobles and instead attack ordinary civilians, their traces will be exposed instantly.

In the Kingdom of Windsor, nobles still have privileges, especially in times of crisis, only the upper class are protected, and the lower class have become the objects of being abandoned.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate wants to gather all the prisoners' targets of revenge, so as to attract the prisoners to come and catch them all.

In that case, the gathered nobles would instead become bait.

Downtown Westminster will also become a chaotic battlefield.

"How are you doing at school these days?"

Ma Wei looked at Daniel who was sitting on the opposite sofa, and asked, "Are any classmates bullying you?"

"Bullying me?" Daniel sneered, "They're almost confessing me now! Sleepy toast is the most popular item at Eton College now! All the goods I have are sold out in a few days! You see "

Daniel opened the suitcase he brought back from school, which was filled with densely packed gold pound coins and universal tickets. Roughly counting, there were at least a few hundred gold pounds.

"A pound of sleeping toast costs 1 gold pounds. Some students can't afford that much money at once, so I divide 10 pound of toast into 1 portions and charge only 10 gold pound each. Since then, the business has changed. Even better! In less than a week since I went to school, I have already covered the entire fourth grade with sleepy toast, and many people come to my dormitory to buy it every day, and I haven’t had enough sleep in the past few days!” Daniel said eloquently.

The wave caused by sleeping toast in Eton College was not beyond Mavi's expectations. He fused the hallucinogenic potion Assanti and toast in order to open up the upper-class market as quickly as possible. In fact, this is also the case. Now The best-selling item in Manstein's potion grocery store is potion toast.

In contrast, ordinary potions such as Tickle Chocolate and Hercules' Stick are not well-known, and not many people buy them.

"You did a good job." Ma Wei nodded encouragingly: "When this turmoil passes, you can try to expand your business scope, find a few trustworthy classmates whose father is a member of the second prince's camp, and let them become secondary dealers. , reduce your pressure, stabilize the fourth-grade market as quickly as possible, and then consider other grades."

"In this way, you will soon be able to establish a high enough prestige in the hearts of your classmates. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are a school bully. If you can really go this far, I am afraid that you can collect a lot of gossip."

Children in the rebellious period mostly hold different attitudes towards the opinions of teachers and parents, and they are not convinced on the surface. If Daniel has enough status in the hearts of his classmates, he can use his interests to win them over. It's hard to get them back.

However, Ma Wei does not intend to use these students to do anything. He just wants to get some ideas from the parents of these students through Daniel. When the family has dinner, the parents always talk about some topics, and the children who go home on weekends will more or less hear it. Some.

Even a little bit, a few words, is enough.

"Although sleeping toast is very popular, there are still many nobles who haven't tasted it. I just took advantage of the opportunity when many nobles gathered together to sell sleeping toast to them for free. I will be responsible for the second prince and the first prince."

Ma Wei turned to look at Levin, and Levin said understandingly: "When I went to find Helena, I brought some sleepy toast, but I don't know if the eldest prince will stop me."

"The eldest prince will not stop you." Ma Wei said lightly: "The sleeping toast has already gained a lot of popularity. I heard that even King Rhodes IV eats it. Many nobles in the first prince's camp, I have also tasted sleeping toast, and those who have not tasted it are also willing to taste it. This is called the general trend, and the general trend cannot be stopped by the eldest prince alone."

Sleepy toast is currently a small snack for the upper class after dinner. After dinner, male nobles will take off their evening gowns, put on looser ordinary suits, and enter the cigar room to smoke and drink. Some way of making fun, before everyone would get together and inject 3% cocaine solution, now.
Turned into eating lethargic toast.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the second prince invited Ma Wei to have dinner with his family. Ma Wei readily agreed. After arriving at the restaurant, he found that there were no other nobles, only a few of them were the guests.

"Your Highness, didn't you say there will be a banquet tonight?"

"Oh, yes." The second prince glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "I have already sent them an invitation letter, and the agreed time is 8:[-] in the evening. Let's have dinner first. After dinner, it will be about the same." It's time."

If the actual situation supports it, the second prince also wants to hold a large banquet and invite the guests to his home early, but the problem is that the church suddenly issued an order this morning for everyone to gather in downtown Westminster. In a hurry, the second prince There is no time to prepare a large amount of high-quality ingredients, and it is too impolite to use low-grade ingredients to entertain the naughty nobles.

After weighing the matter, the second prince decided not to prepare too much meat for the banquet, and instead focused on desserts, holding a dessert banquet. Desserts required much simpler ingredients than serious meat dishes.

Although it was too late to prepare a large amount of high-quality ingredients, the second prince still brought out two months' worth of lamb, just like he has always been a self-proclaimed gourmet, never wronging himself for eating.

While enjoying dinner, the butler suddenly walked into the dining room and whispered something in the second prince's ear. After listening, the second prince nodded slightly, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Levin, "Mr. Felix, Charles invited you to Attending his banquet, and emphasizing that Miss Helena is gone, you see."

Levin was taken aback for a moment, then realized immediately, and exchanged a glance with Ma Wei, stood up and said in Ma Wei's eyes, "Your Highness, I have an appointment with Miss Helena in advance, so..."

The second prince raised his hand with a smile and said generously, "Please go ahead and say hello to Miss Helena and Charles for me."

"It must be brought."

Levin followed the butler and left the restaurant in a hurry. As soon as he left, the second prince said, "Nicholas, your little brother doesn't have the same personality as you! You don't even look down on Freya, but Felix is ​​a dancer fell in love"

Ma Wei smiled and said: "Your Highness, I don't look down on Freya, it's just that her status is too noble, and I can't get high, and Felix stayed in the village a few years ago, and he hasn't seen the big girl. In the world, I went home to pick them up after I managed well outside."

"No wonder." The second prince nodded half-understood: "If this is the case, I can understand, and what I said is true, who has experienced the big world, who would be fascinated by a dancing girl? Nicholas, please don't Mind, I'm not targeting Felix."

Of course, these words were not aimed at Levin. Even if the second prince was dissatisfied with Levin's approach to Helena and wanted to complain, he would never say it in front of Mavi. What he said was mocking The eldest prince Charles said that he was a clown who could not get on the stage and disgraced the royal family.

In private, the second prince must have taunted Charles a lot, and Charles probably taunted the second prince a lot, but the fact that the second prince can say this to Mavi is enough to prove that Mavi already has a high status in his mind, at least It's a character that can be trusted.

The rapid heating up of the relationship is probably related to the potion formula during the day.

After getting closer, the second prince spoke more bluntly: "Nicholas, Miss Helena is beautiful, but she is a rose with thorns. You must remind Felix not to hold it too hard, otherwise you will be caught." Stabbed."

"I've told him many times, Your Highness." Mavi cut a piece of tender lamb, dipped some sauce into his mouth, and said after swallowing: "Felix also knows the severity, and understands more His Royal Highness's true thoughts, my advice to him is to follow the plan."

The second prince suddenly realized, with a wider smile on his face, he held up the red wine glass and said, "Then I can rest assured, and look forward to the day when Charles shoots himself in the foot with a rock."

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the guests began to arrive at the villa one after another. The second prince and his wife greeted them personally at the door, and Ma Wei, Junia and Daniel came to the banquet hall ahead of time, looking at the long tables covered with white tablecloths piled up high. Junia's eyes were shining, and she only ate a little lamb for dinner, saying that she wanted to save her stomach for the next snack.

"Nicholas!"

The first person to arrive at the villa was Smith, a jeweler. With a round figure, he was wearing a flannel-embellished flannel gown. Prepared a lot of sleepy toast?"

"Yes." Ma Wei said with a smile: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I don't take this opportunity to sell products, my boss will be too incompetent."

"Okay, okay." Smith nodded again and again, very happy: "As long as we can open up the upper-class market, our company's stock will definitely continue to rise! Oh, you have a guest, I won't bother you."

While speaking, the door of the banquet hall opened again. This time, Freya, who was wearing a red evening dress, walked in. Seeing her, Smith left very interestingly. Before leaving, he showed an ambiguous expression, as if he knew everything Same.

"Why is he smiling so disgustingly?"

Freya stepped forward, glanced at Smith who was cutting a cake not far away, and couldn't help frowning: "What did you tell him?"

"What can I say? It's his own thinking."

It didn't take a day or two to get to know each other. Ma Wei had already become acquainted with the second prince, Freya, Smith and others. There was no false politeness, and the conversations were all about everyday topics.

"This is the factory's goods storage list. Another copy has been sent to the company's headquarters. You can keep this one." Freya took out a folded letter paper and said, "When the quarantine is over, remember to go to the factory to check the goods , if anyone dares to steal materials, they must be severely punished!"

"With Steven and the others watching in the factory, nothing will go wrong unless there is an invasion by external forces."

"Are you afraid that the eldest prince and the third prince will take advantage of this incident to secretly harm the potion factory?" Freya took a glass of red wine from a passing waiter, took a sip and said, "I have already told Brother Corey Yes, in the past few days, their gangsters will be patrolling around the factory day and night, as well as the police and witchers, and with the relationship of Archbishop Brandon, they will definitely take care of it."

While talking, Freya asked meaningfully: "You seem to trust Steven Thomas a lot, isn't he your new worker?"

"I can tell whether a person is trustworthy or not." Ma Wei said, "I paid him a high salary and promised to help him take back the fishing company. He has no reason to betray me."

"The potion business is different from other businesses, so you should be careful." Freya shook her head, "Why don't you let me go to the factory and take care of it for you."

"you?"

Mavi looked Freya up and down, and laughed: "If you, the duke, are allowed to work in a dirty place like a potion factory, even if you don't mind, His Majesty will trouble me, do you believe it?"

"Whatever he does."

"He is His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Windsor, who can ignore him?"

"Okay." Freya drank the red wine: "I know you don't want me to go to the potion factory, but you still don't trust me, Nicholas."

"Trust is mutual, Freya." Ma Wei said quietly: "Do you trust me?"

"Of course I trust you."

Freya didn't hesitate. She thought that after she said this, Ma Wei would say that she also trusted her, but she didn't expect
"Since you trust me, proceed according to the current state." Ma Wei said, "It's better for everyone, what time is it now?"

"Don't you have a pocket watch?"

Women's evening dresses don't have inner pockets, but Freya has a clever trick. She reached into her chest, took out a silver pocket watch, glanced at it and said, "It's 5 minutes to 08:30. What do you want to do?"

"almost."

Ma Wei said to Daniel who was beside him: "Go and give the sleepy toast we brought to the kitchen, let them cut it into small pieces, and send it to the banquet hall. Remember not to send too much, 1 pound is enough. "

"it is good."

"Who is enough for 1 pound?" Freya was a little puzzled: "Let's talk about 1 or [-] guests tonight, and you ask the kitchen to deliver [-] pound of sleepy toast, can you share it?"

"It's better if you can't make up."

Mavi laughed and said:

"The more you can't get something, the more you can arouse people's desire, right?"
