Father Mavie

Chapter 609 Opportunity (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
The unexpected situation where one player was eliminated before the start of the second round was something that no one expected.

According to the 'internal information' obtained by the second prince, the investment capital that the third prince Andrew prepared should be 2000 million gold pounds. If this figure is correct, then Edie Potion Company may continue to bid.
The third prince Andrew actually pretended to be smart and secretly raised the price to 3000 million!
Including the security deposit, the third prince Andrew embezzled a total of 3500 million gold pounds from the army. This behavior undoubtedly touched the bottom line of the kingdom.

Everyone knows that the potion business is hugely profitable, and everyone knows that if you invest 2000 million gold pounds, you can earn back in a short time. If you only embezzle 2000 million gold pounds, it is no problem to support the expenses for a year with the spare funds, but Andrew Take all the money away and let him run successfully.
Who will pay for the army's salary and procurement expenses for the next quarter?
Sure enough, after the singing session ended, Rhodes IV's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Although he was silent, everyone could see the anger mixed with his cloudy face.

The third prince, Andrew, didn't pay attention to the situation on the stage. Instead, he was complacent about the quotation he gave, and looked back at the eldest prince and the second prince provocatively, failing to realize the schadenfreude on the faces of the two elder brothers.

"Once an offer has been submitted, it cannot be changed."

The cardinal put the three documents back into the suitcase and asked the nun to show them to the pope, the king and others sitting on the stage, and then said to the three princes: "Now please submit the financial certificates and account statements of each company."

Without Mavi talking, Tiffany, who was sitting next to her, walked up to the stage with the company's accounting sheet, and financial executives also got up from the seats of the eldest prince and third prince, and they all brought the company's accounts.

To review the accounts, of course, the bank needs to provide proof and guarantee. For this reason, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate specially invited the managers of the financial departments of the Royal Bank of London, the Bank of Thames and the Central Bank of Westminster to participate in the fund review process. Among them, to ensure that the bidders did not provide false information.

This is also the so-called fundraising link.

As long as the funds match the figures in the submitted bids, there is no problem.

It takes time to review the funds. Taking advantage of the waiting opportunity, the cardinal announced the next step: "Please bidders submit the potions produced by their own companies and submit them to the church for inspection."

Funds are very important, but in addition to funds, the church also needs to check the production capacity of the participating companies for potions. Although the church has mastered the potion formula and can make potions independently, everyone knows that manpower cannot be compared with machinery. The Kingdom of Windsor The ability to leap from a small island country to a world leader depends on advanced industrial technology!
Once the industrialized production line is established, it means that the production cost of potions will be reduced, and the reduction of production costs will mean that the price of potions will be reduced, and the price of potions will be reduced, which means that the church can buy more potions at a low price and seize a larger market !

From a certain point of view, the quality of potion production is greater than the funds for preparation!

"Submit in order, Bracken Potion Company, you guys come first."

"Yes, my lord."

Inspired by the eyes of the eldest prince, the Marquis of Bracken stood up, strode onto the stage, put the suitcase in his hand on the table, took out the key to open it, and watched as everyone watched
He took out a glass bottle, which contained many small black balls.

"This is a new product from the Bracken Potion Company—the Spirit Pill!"

The Marquis of Bracken introduced loudly: "Taking one pill can allow the user to enter the state of out-of-body state for a short period of time. During this period, the soul can attach to any object or creature, as long as the possessed person's soul strength Weaker than the user, you can control the body of the possessed person!"

On the stage, Rhodes IV nodded slowly when he heard the introduction of the Marquis of Bracken. He was obviously very satisfied with the miraculous effect of the spirit potion. Pope Umbly I and the three archbishops had no expressions on their faces. After all, the Bracken potion The formula used by the company comes from the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate. The Church has long known about its effects.

"It's very good." The cardinal took the bottle, uncorked it, poured out a thumb-sized black ball, put it in front of his eyes, then sniffed the taste, nodded and said: "The quality is good, and the details are handled very well. In place. Well, let me give it a try."

Throwing the black pill into his mouth, the cardinal closed his eyes. Not long after, his body suddenly relaxed. The Marquis of Bracken had quick eyes and quick hands, and he supported the cardinal who was almost toppled, and leaned him steadily on the chair.

The soul is invisible to the naked eye, but as long as the magic power is gathered in the eyes, the outline of the soul can be seen. Ma Wei, holding his daughter's little hand, saw the blue soul of the cardinal rising from the body, floating in the air, and turning back and forth After two laps, he got into the body of the nun beside him.

The nun's body trembled, her energetic eyes suddenly lost their spirit, and she stared blankly at the ground under her feet, after about half a minute.
The absent-minded pupils gradually regained their brightness, but this time, the eyes were no longer clear, but became much colder.

Looking at her hands and moving her limbs, the nun nodded slightly: "Yes, the effect is very good, it is definitely a high-quality potion."

The Marquis of Bracken quickly responded: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency the Bishop."

"The higher the quality of the potion, the longer it lasts. How long can the spirit pills developed by your company last?"

"This is calculated based on the strength of the possessed person's soul, it is difficult to give an accurate number"

The Marquis of Bracken thought about it: "If it is calculated based on the soul strength of an ordinary adult man, for a powerful existence like Cardinal you, taking one spirit pill can maintain the state of the soul for an hour, and taking two pills for two hours, and so on."

"Well, quite satisfactory."

The bishop didn't ask any more questions. The soul left the nun's body and returned to his own body. He had already completed the demonstration, and the specific effect was seen by the judge, Pope Ubli I, the three archbishops, the king and others.

"Next, Manstein"

"cough."

A light cough sounded behind him, interrupting the Cardinal's words. The Cardinal turned his head, saw the Pope waving to him, and hurried forward, bowing his head and listening to him.
"Yes, I understand."

The cardinal returned to the stage and changed his mind: "Next, Edie Potion Company, please send a representative."

The third prince was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he skipped Ma Wei and allowed himself to take the stage first, but this was obviously the Pope's will, and the Pope's order cannot be disobeyed. After hesitating for a moment, the third prince picked up the suitcase himself and came to the bishop.

"The products of Edie Potion Company are fortified potions."

In front of everyone, the third prince took out a bottle of transparent liquid, which was colorless like clear water, and there were slight bubbles rising when shaking: "Strengthening potions can improve the user's physical strength and five senses in a short period of time, and can also improve the magic power." increase"

"Enhanced Potion, Advanced Potion"

The cardinal showed a slightly surprised smile, and impatiently took the bottle, put it in his hand and looked at it: "The refining of strengthening potions is very difficult, far surpassing medium and low-level potions, even in the sequence of high-level potions. , can also be ranked in the middle, the church has been unable to produce in large quantities. How many doses can Edie Potion Company produce per day?"

"One gallon." The third prince replied: "Fortified potions require too many steps to be made by hand, and our company has not been able to achieve full industrialization, so the output is only one gallon."

1 gallon, 4546 ml, calculated according to the dosage of 1 ounce per bottle, is equivalent to 162 bottles.

This output, say more or less, is stuck in the middle, which is a bit embarrassing to be true.

Hearing that the output was only 1 gallon, the cardinal let out an 'oh', obviously not as interested as before, because the church can produce almost 1 gallon of strengthening potion every day, but it just didn't have time to mass-produce it.

But there is no way to do this, as the third prince said, the more advanced the potion is, the more complicated the production process is. The production of enhanced potions is not easy, and there are too many manual production links, so it is difficult to realize automation.

As for the materials, they are even more expensive. When the main materials are scarce, the church cannot mass-produce them. This is one of the reasons why the strengthening potion has not been able to equip the demon hunter so far.

Only by lowering the price can one enjoy more benefits brought by potions.

Obviously, neither the big prince nor the third prince's potion company can produce potions in large quantities. It's not their fault, because the Manstein potion company can't do it either. Technology limits production efficiency. Only technology Only by achieving a breakthrough can the production of potion be further improved.

Disappointed, the Cardinal looked at Ma Wei, and before he could speak, Ma Wei stood up, holding a strange cylindrical object covered by a black cloth, and led Junia onto the stage.

Seeing Ma Wei come to power, no matter whether it was the pope, the three archbishops, or the king, they couldn't help but straighten their backs, wanting to see what kind of surprise Ma Wei could bring them.

Mercury's blood is already something that can be encountered but not sought after. This time, in order to bid, Ma Wei will definitely have to come up with some good things at the bottom of the box!

"what is this?"

The cardinal stared at the cylindrical object that Mavi put on the table, and asked curiously, "Do you need to turn off the lights?"

"No need." Ma Wei lifted the black cloth, and revealed a flower pot. In the flower pot, a rose grew very delicately.

"what!"

The third prince Andrew let out a big laugh, he thought it was something!

After a long time of trouble, feelings are just a rose!
wrong
Is this a piranha?

But piranhas are not uncommon!

The Kingdom of Windsor is not without it!
"Well"

The cardinal bent down and looked at the rose carefully, and found that there was a colorful silk thread at the root of the rose. In a daze, he kept recalling similar features in his mind.

On the stage, the sharp-eyed Archbishop of Camberley noticed the clues of the rose, his pupils shrank slightly, and he was surprised: "Could it be."

Archbishop Brandon smiled and acted extremely calmly: "Well, it should be the obsession with flowers."

"how do you know?"

"I guess, can't I?"

Pope Ubli I ignored the behavior of the two archbishops to dismantle each other, but said in a serious tone: "I am obsessed with flowers, the church can't make them at present, because the key material is missing. The tears of the mermaid!"

"If Nicholas von Manstein can make the flower of obsession, it means that he has mastered the extremely precious potion material of mermaid tears!"

"Is it very precious?" King Rhodes IV did not understand the specific value of mermaid tears: "How precious?"

"Mermaids are very proud and extraordinary creatures. Only when they are willing, you can get a tear, otherwise, even if you torture them with the cruelest means in the world, they will not shed tears!"

Pope Ubli I said solemnly: "Nicholas von Manstein has been recognized by the mermaid! In other words, he has channels to buy mermaid tears from humans who have been recognized by the mermaid!"

"Is it difficult to get the approval of the mermaid?" Rhodes IV was a little puzzled.

"It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not. It's that there is no necessary interest relationship between mermaids and humans!" Umbly I slowly shook his head: "The environment they live in doesn't need the help of humans. On the contrary, there are always humans who cry for tears." To harass them, ancient books record that there were human beings who deceived mermaids for tears before, and since then, mermaids have never believed in human beings again! It is impossible to get tears by approaching them actively!"

The mermaid's tears are precious, but it is not a small tear that attracted the attention of Umbly I, but the terrifying channel behind Ma Wei!

Even the people at the bottom know how precious mermaid tears are!

Where did Mavi get such a treasure?
If he can even get mermaid tears, can he also get other precious potion ingredients?
The Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate has mastered a lot of potion formulas, but many of the ingredients are not available in the Kingdom of Windsor. If you want to get them, you can only import them from other kingdoms through the potion trade, but the potion materials are so precious. The church strictly controls it. Where does it mean that you can get it if you get it?

Because of this, the channels in Ma Wei's hands are particularly precious!
He can bypass the church to buy potions!

"First, the blood of mercury, and then the tears of the mermaid. It seems that Nicholas still has a lot of good things in his hands."

Umbly I looked at Ma Wei, and said quietly: "Everyone, what do you think?"

"I agree with what you said, Your Majesty the Pope." The Archbishop of Camberley stroked his beard and said, "In the hands of Nicholas von Manstein, there must be many treasures that have not been revealed. This kind of person has a lot of precious resources. , if you can’t use him, you must get rid of him, what we can’t get, neither can anyone else!”

"Hey, what do you mean?" Archbishop Brandon didn't understand what he said, and hurriedly interrupted: "He came all the way from the Kingdom of Frederick to make money in the Kingdom of Windsor. Is this wrong? Besides, Nicholas is already a Windsor He is now a legal citizen of the kingdom! He just joined the church two days ago and became a follower of the Goddess of Wealth, Nande! This kind of person can be taken seriously and used well! Why does it involve getting rid of him?"

"I suspect he is a spy sent by another church!" said the Archbishop of Camberley.

"Fart!" Archbishop Brandon almost jumped up from his chair: "We have checked the details a long time ago, and there is nothing wrong with him! He has not been blessed by the gods at all! I have already verified it with the goddess Nande! You This is slander!"

Archbishop Camberley sneered and said, "Brandon, can you think about it, how can an ordinary businessman have so many channels that he can even buy mermaid tears? There must be a big force behind him ! I suspect it is the Judgment God Sect!"

"stop fighting!"

Ulbricht I couldn't listen anymore: "Whether Nicholas von Manstein is a spy sent by another church or not, it is a certainty that he has not been blessed by the gods, Brandon, has he done something for a certain person?" A god to provide faith?"

"No! I can swear to Goddess Nande, absolutely not!"

"He didn't provide faith to the gods, and he didn't get the blessings of the gods, which means that he didn't believe in the gods wholeheartedly, or that his beliefs were not firm. Such a person is worth attracting."

Umbly I pondered:

"The church needs him, and I am willing to give him a chance!"
