Father Mavie

Chapter 610 The assassination of Princess Sophia (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
"Liviu, why don't you speak?"

Archbishop Camberley looked at Archbishop Liviu, who was sitting in the last seat and remained silent. Pope Umbly I had expressed his support for Brandon, and they had two votes. There are three goddesses with different spokespersons. When deciding major events, the pope and the three archbishops have the right to choose.

If Archbishop Liviu, like himself, does not agree to let Ma Wei become the church's potion distributor, then there is still room for mediation if the tickets are even.

Archbishop Liviu, who was bald with only a few white stubbles and covered with age spots like a vulture, opened his cloudy eyes when he heard Archbishop Camberley's voice, and squinted at Mavie, who was under the stage, with a tone of voice He said indifferently: "Since the Pope is willing to give him a chance, then give him a chance. I have no objections."

"what?!"

The Archbishop of Camberley dared not say anything: "You also support Nicholas von Manstein?"

"I'm not supporting him, but the Pope's decision." Archbishop Liviu said blankly: "The Church of the Goddess of Destiny is the only polytheistic religion in the Central Continent, and it is easy to disagree on major issues. For a church, Often the most important thing is not who is chosen, but whether the decision is convincing. It does us no good to have the church deadlocked, Camberley."

Archbishop Camberley was a little moved, lowered his head, and stopped arguing.

Perhaps Liviu is right. With the size and strength of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, even if there is a mistake in choosing a potion dealer, they still have the confidence and means to set things right. On the contrary, if it is because of this incident The trouble made everyone unhappy, and even disagreements and splits appeared.
This is the real crisis of the church!

After realizing this, the Archbishop of Camberley no longer raised any objections. Ubli, Brandon, and Liviu, who were once the same archbishop and have worked together for many years, all stood together. What else does he, a latecomer, have? What about the right to speak?
From a certain point of view, the three archbishops Ubli, Brandon, and Liviu still have a certain tacit understanding. At critical moments, the three of them can always stand on the same position and unanimously speak out.

The previous pope died unjustly.

After waiting for a while, the fund review was completed, and the cardinal ran over with the result, handed the document to Umbly I, and waited for the final result.

"There is no problem with the financial certificates submitted by the three bidders, and everything is factual, um."

Umbly I nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Then let's start voting. Your Majesty, Prime Minister Winston, you two also have the right to vote."

Rhodes IV and Prime Minister Winston were slightly taken aback. They did not expect that the Pope would let them participate. This is the selection of potion dealers for the church. Although it has something to do with the kingdom, it has little to do with it. It stands to reason that the king and the cabinet The Prime Minister's presence in person is just to observe, and he has no actual voting rights.

"In a few days, the church will unite with the cabinet to issue a decree on potions. The potion business is closely related to the kingdom, not just a church issue. Therefore, His Majesty and Prime Minister Winston are requested to cast a valuable vote on behalf of the kingdom."

"Okay, I see."

"Then let's get started." Umbly I swept his eyes across everyone's faces: "Those who support the Bracken Potion Company, please raise your hands."

"Loving Flowers"

Under the stage, watching the eldest prince who Mavi took out a flower pot, he finally understood what the second prince was up to.

The Archbishop of Camberley once provided him with several potion formulas, among which is the flower of obsession. As a high-level potion, the flower of obsession is not particularly difficult to match, but it is very precious, if it is not for the lack of vital main ingredients ——For the mermaid's tears, there is a high probability that the eldest prince will choose Obsession Flower to participate in the bidding.

What really made him feel the crisis was not the obsession flower that Ma Wei took out. From a level analysis, the obsession flower that Ma Wei took out was not as good as his enchanting pills in terms of sequence, and it was not as practical as his. , but the crux of the problem lies in the material behind the obsession flower.
Mermaid tears!

Ma Wei, who can take out quicksilver blood, sleepy toast, and even mermaid tears, obviously hides a lot of good things, maybe he didn't even show his cards.
Dealing with this kind of person is very troublesome, because you never know what good things he can come up with to catch you off guard!
"Unfathomable"

The eldest prince Charles sighed faintly, with a vague premonition in his heart.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I think we will win." said the Marquis of Bracken.

"Why do you think we can win?"

"It's very simple." The Marquis of Bracken smiled: "Your Highness, you think, before the death of the last Pope, Pope Umbly I was your supporter. , to help you."

"Secondly, there is Archbishop Camberley, who also supports you. Although Archbishop Brandon supports the Manstein Potion Company, we already have two votes in our hands, and His Royal Highness the third prince is destined to be out, so Archbishop Liviu is very happy. Maybe vote for you too, after all, you are the orthodox of the kingdom."

"Not to mention the king and the prime minister. You are the first crown prince. In order to ensure the stability of the political situation, the prime minister will definitely support you. His Majesty the king is good at checks and balances. He will follow the pope's decision to vote. That is to say, the total 6 votes, Your Highness, you have already occupied 4 votes, the victory is certain."

The Marquis of Bracken was very confident, as if he had already seen the victory of the potion company under his name, but the eldest prince Charles still looked worried, smoking a cigar, and remained silent.

At this moment, the cardinal came back, and the people who were still waiting cast their eyes one after another, waiting for the final result.

"According to the joint deliberation of the Church and the Kingdom, the results of the vote are as follows"

The cardinal cleared his throat and said loudly, "Edie Potions, 0 votes, Bracken Potions, 0 votes, Manstein Potions, 6 votes!"

"The Manstein Potion Company won the bid!"

"how can that be?!"

The Marquis of Bracken was stunned. This result was beyond his expectation. Counting Rhodes IV and Prime Minister Winston, there were only 6 votes in total, while Manstein got 6 votes from the Potion Company. How could this be? doesn't mean
Everyone, including the King and Prime Minister Winston, voted for Manstein Potions? !

The Archbishop of Camberley didn't choose them either?

"Pretty!"

The second prince patted the table excitedly, stood up abruptly, laughed heartily, and the pressure in his heart dissipated immediately.

"I have objections."

The Marquis of Bracken also stood up, and when he was on the verge of speaking, he suddenly saw the cardinal's cold gaze and closed his mouth resentfully. His mind was hot, so he calmed down and thought about it, who were the people who voted?

The pope, three archbishops, the king and the prime minister.
These people are all rulers of the Kingdom of Windsor!

As a marquis, even a nobleman, he is not qualified to question the joint resolution of the pope and the king.

After winning the bid, Ma Wei heaved a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally fell to the ground. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was still nervous in his heart. It was a very risky move to take out mermaid tears, but the facts proved that he was right.

"Mr. Nicholas, congratulations." Pope Ubli I came to Mavey in person and said with a smile: "After signing the contract, you will be the only potion dealer designated by the church, and the potion library of the church will be open to you. , you can set a price for the potion, and if you have any questions, you can communicate with Archbishop Brandon."

There are many advantages to becoming the designated distributor of the church, one of which is to control the church's potion import and export trade. In other words, Mavi now controls the church's potion business, and he wants the church to make money so that the church can make money.

But this is not a reason to act recklessly. Mavi is headed by Archbishop Brandon. Although he can control the potion business, he must be under the supervision of Archbishop Brandon. Once there is a problem, the potion business will immediately was called off.

"I read in the plan you submitted that you plan to send representatives to negotiate with other major churches in the next step?" Pope Ubli I asked, "Who do you plan to send?"

"Regarding this matter, I need the help of the church." Ma Wei said, "It's hard for me to convince other churches, so I need the Pope to greet me in advance so that I can take the next step."

"No problem, then what?"

"After saying hello, I will send trustworthy employees to the Kingdom of Frederick, the First Bonaparte Empire, and the Roman Republic, to the main churches of the Sect of Judgment, the Sect of Wisdom, and the Sect of Abundance, and find their leaders for details. Talk about cooperation." Ma Wei said word by word: "Based on my years of travel experience, no country in the world can learn the secrets of potions, and cooperation is the general trend, and only in this way can we use limited resources , into infinite possibilities!"

"Limited resources have turned into infinite possibilities. Well said." Ubli I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "We have a lot of potion formulas, but many materials have not been collected. I hope that Manstein Potion Company can While buying potion materials, get potion formulas from other churches."

"If given the chance, I would."

"Just do your best, and I will leave everything about potions to you."

Pope Ubli I held the scepter and smiled kindly, like a kind elder. After explaining a few details, he left the meeting with Archbishop Camberley, Archbishop Liviu, the king, and Prime Minister Winston. Hall, Archbishop Brandon stayed, he will be responsible for signing the contract.

Taking out the two contracts that had been prepared a long time ago, Archbishop Brandon filled in the information on the contracts and said with a smile: "I knew you could do it, Nicholas, now, we finally control the church's potion business! "

"Well done!" The second prince was very excited. It should be said that he hadn't calmed down since the result was announced. He circled around Ma Wei and even went to show off in front of the first and third princes. The two princes didn't want to talk to him. Go as fast as you want.

"It's not my fault alone."

Ma Wei smiled, and he was also very satisfied with the result.

"If you win the bid, you're going to get busy." Archbishop Brandon signed the contract, stamped it with the special seal of the church, pushed the contract in front of Ma Wei, and signaled him to read it: "You said in the bid that you plan to send representatives and other Church communication, does the current Manstein Potion Company have so many representatives?"

"My original intention was to establish company branches in other kingdoms and vigorously promote the business of potions." Mavi took the cigar handed over by the second prince, lit it but didn't smoke it, pinched it with his fingertips, and flipped through the contract: "The three goddesses of fate The problems faced by the church have also been encountered by other churches. If you want to refine potions, collecting materials is the first prerequisite. Without materials, no matter how powerful a pharmacist is, he can only stare at the crucible. If the conditions are right, other churches will also cooperate with us on the downhill donkey.”

"I'm afraid that someone will interfere with it." The second prince frowned and said, "Although Charles and Andrew's potion company failed the bidding, they still want to compete with us for the potion market. Church negotiations."

"So the action must be fast. The best result is that the representatives we send out will win the contract, so that we don't need to go there in person."

The second prince was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand: "Let's go there in person? What do you mean?"

"It's very simple." Ma Wei shrugged: "If the representative sent out to establish a branch company cannot establish a cooperative relationship with other churches, then I, the chairman, will need to go there in person. At that time, your Highness, you'd better go with me. I will go together."

"No! It's too dangerous!" Archbishop Brandon said immediately: "Nicholas, you and Your Highness must not leave London together. It should be said that both of you should stay here! The situation is sensitive and the outside world is not peaceful. Both of you I don’t know magic, let’s leave together, I’m afraid that something bad will happen to me!”

"That's right!" The second prince nodded heavily, with a serious expression on his face: "Charles and Andrew are not good at anything, they are just kind on the surface, but they are more ruthless behind the scenes! Back then, Arthur's mother, Princess Sophia, was raped in the palace. The arrow hit, it was one of them who sent someone to do it!"

"Princess Sophia?"

Eyelids twitched, Ma Weiruo asked pointedly: "I seem to have heard this matter mentioned by others. I heard that Princess Sophia was very favored by His Majesty back then, but is there something strange about her unexpected death later?"

The second prince, who had put down his guard against Ma Wei, responded: "Princess Sophia was assassinated! Everyone knows about this, but no one dares to mention it! I suspect it was Charles, because Andrew was still young back then, so there was no need to risk it." Risky assassination of Princess Sophia. In the assassination of Princess Sophia, the one who made the biggest profit is Charles!"

Regarding the assassination of Princess Sophia, the second prince did not know much information. This matter has always been a mystery. The real murderer is still at large. There is no evidence, so he can only suspect it out of thin air.

When I mentioned this incident, it wasn't that the second prince cared much about Arthur, but that he wanted to use this incident to prove that Charles was ruthless, even his younger brother's mother could kill him, not to mention the unrelated Ma Wei?
Once Ma Wei leaves London, what awaits him is definitely a storm!
