Father Mavie

Chapter 652 Mansion, old friend (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
All the words Napoleon said before seemed to be aimed at proving his majesty to Mavi, in order to attract him.

In fact, he didn't need to prove anything. Napoleon had reached the point where he used his name to deter his enemies.

On the other hand, Rhodes IV of the Kingdom of Windsor is not famous, at least not as famous as Napoleon, and he has not done anything earth-shattering.

In terms of national strength, the First Bonaparte Empire is not weaker than the Kingdom of Windsor. The Navy is the leader of the Kingdom of Windsor, but the First Empire of Bonaparte is definitely stronger than the Kingdom of Windsor.

When the national strength is almost the same, the wiseness of the leader is particularly important.

"What the Kingdom of Windsor can give you, I can also give you, and even more." Napoleon looked at Ma Wei who lowered his head in thought, and said slowly: "The Kingdom of Windsor is just an island country, and geographical factors limit their development, so their The navy is extremely powerful, but in the age of magic, the importance of the navy is far less than that of magic."

"From my point of view, the Kingdom of Windsor lacks key resources, while the First Bonaparte Empire is located in the center of the Central Continent, extending in all directions with convenient transportation. It will definitely become the center of the next era, surpassing the Kingdom of Windsor just around the corner."

"I have never attracted a person like this before, Mr. Nicholas, if you know me, you should know that the importance I attach to you is unmatched by Rhodes IV."

Napoleon said: "What's more, Rhodes IV is very old. Anatole said that even with the blessing of the realm of immortality, he doesn't have to be troubled by illness, but his soul is on the verge of exhaustion, and he doesn't have much time to live."

"Is there even one of the three princes of Rhodes IV who can take on the important role of king?"

"It seems that Your Majesty has investigated the situation in the Kingdom of Windsor." Ma Wei said suddenly.

"Knowing your opponent is good practice."

Ma Wei thought for a while and said, "I have no intention of joining your country. This has nothing to do with national strength. I have already obtained a very high position in the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses. What else do I need?"

"Don't you want to build a family and continue the name of Manstein?"

"If that's all it is, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the Kingdom of Windsor and the First Bonaparte Empire." Ma Wei said frankly, "What you can give me, Your Majesty, I already have. What I want to do now is to develop If the Manstein Potion Company wants to do this, it needs the help of the Royal Navy, so please forgive me for refusing your invitation."

After being rejected, Napoleon's expression didn't change at all, as if he had guessed a long time ago, he just said lightly: "I have ordered someone to prepare the mansion for you, the meeting time is 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, you can go back and have a good rest, what's the matter , you can come to the Elysee Palace to find me."

The royal palace of Bonaparte’s First Empire was the Palace of Versailles located in the southwestern suburbs of Paris, but daily commuting was too troublesome, and many kings had to settle in Paris. Among them, the luxurious Elysee Palace was the favorite palace of successive kings.

After sending Ivan XIV to the guillotine, Napoleon also justifiably moved into this palace.

Seeing that Napoleon didn't intend to keep him for dinner, Ma Wei picked up Junia and left the Invalides, and drove to the mansion in a carriage. Maria said, "It's nothing if you refuse Your Majesty. Your Majesty will not be angry because of your refusal. But the one who really wants to keep you is Anatole."

Hearing Anatole's name, Mavi glanced at Junia, and her eyes signaled her to hide the Siren's Tears. Don't let Anatole know that the Siren's Tears appeared in Paris.

"There is a holy woman in the delegation. If Anatole wants to force me to stay, the goddess of evil, Tilde, will definitely come to stop him." Mavi said.

"From the moment you entered the city of Paris, Anatole activated the shielding magic circle, covering the entire Paris, isolating the prying eyes of other gods, even if the saint summoned the goddess of sin, Tildre, she could not get a response .”

Maria whispered: "If you want to get the help of the goddess of evil, Tilde, you must leave Paris and perform the summoning ceremony outside Paris."

"Why did you tell me such an important thing?"

Ma Wei looked at Maria very puzzled. The other party was the duke and nobleman of Paris. Why did he help him, an outsider?

"Before you arrived in Paris, I received a letter from London." Maria said: "The owner of the letter is called Freya de Chevalier, my cousin, she asked me to help you, No matter what difficulties you have."

"You have never met, can you be desperate with just a letter?"

"The Chevalier family has reached a moment of life and death."

Maria said coldly: "If there is no heir, the Chevalier family will perish in history. As the only heir, I must consider the family. Although Freya and I have never met, she also has As the successor of the Chevalier family, I am in a similar situation to her, if my side fails, she will be required to take on the responsibility of continuing the Chevalier family, so I will help her."

"Of course, the letter said that in return, Freya would send a child of the Chevalier family blood to Paris to become my adopted son and inherit the Chevalier family."

"?"

Frowning slightly, Ma Wei asked doubtfully, "Are you infertile?"

This is a very offensive and impolite question, but Maria still answered: "Whether I have fertility, I am not sure, after all, I have never had any children."

"Since you're not sure, why did you ask Freya to adopt the child to you?"

"because."

Maria said indifferently: "I don't like men. Lying on the same bed with a man makes me feel sick. I don't feel sad for my husband's death at all."

"Oh"

Ma Wei suddenly didn't know what to say, this answer was indeed beyond his expectation.

"Just now I kept asking Mr. Nicholas about your relationship with Freya, and it was also because of her." Maria said, "From the content of the letter, Freya should have some affection for you, why don't you want to?" Accept her?"

Talking about such an in-depth topic at the first meeting made Mavi a little uncomfortable. He felt that he and Maria were not familiar enough to talk about everything, but Maria seemed to have known him for a long time. Say what you say.

Just when Ma Wei was trying to find an excuse to fool him, someone stopped the carriage suddenly, and there was a hasty knock on the door. He opened the curtain and saw that it was the second prince and others.

"Nicholas, are you okay?"

Seeing Ma Wei, the second prince heaved a sigh of relief, glared at the helpless Bonova very displeased, and said, "When we arrived at the mansion, we found that you hadn't followed, so we came out to look for you immediately. Where did they take you?" went?"

"I'm fine, Your Highness. Madame Maria showed me around Paris just now."

In front of so many people, Ma Wei must not just say that he was taken to see His Majesty Napoleon, otherwise how would the second prince react?

This is Paris, and as a delegation they cannot act like they do in London.

When they arrived at the mansion, Maria got into the carriage and left. Minister of Foreign Affairs Bonova led the people upstairs, arranged the room, explained the matter of the meeting, and then left.

The mansion located on the Champs-Elysées was specially built for foreign envoys. It is magnificently decorated, and there are countless servants who can meet any needs.

In the room, Ma Wei took off his coat, waved back the maid who was waiting on the side, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and walked to the window and opened it to let the wind from the street blow into the house.

After a short rest, the second prince came with Smith and Archbishop Brandon, followed by Junia, Levin and Daniel.

After closing the door, the second prince asked: "Nicholas, have you really visited Paris? I always feel that something is wrong. Those people in Bonova seem to have bad intentions."

"I was taken to the Invalides and met Napoleon Bonaparte."

"What?!" The second prince was surprised, "What did Emperor Napoleon see you for?"

"Well, he wants me to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, leave the Kingdom of Windsor, stay in Paris, and serve Bonaparte's First Empire."

"I knew they had no good intentions!"

The second prince slapped the table and said sharply: "No! We can't stay in Paris anymore. We will leave immediately after the meeting is over!"

"I'm afraid it won't be so easy to leave." Archbishop Brandon looked at the street outside the window and said in a deep voice: "Look, the mansion has been sealed off by the Royal Guards, and the Knights of the Holy Silver Cross are still patrolling the street, and there are still two people in the mansion. There is a bishop here, and Notre Dame Cathedral is not far away, Anatole will not let us go easily."

"Isn't he afraid of triggering a big war if he imprisoned an envoy of a country?!"

"It's impossible for the church to tear itself apart for us and the God of Wisdom." Archbishop Brandon slowly shook his head: "I tried to contact the goddess with Saint Melissa just now, but found that we couldn't establish communication. I'm afraid it was disturbed by something. Only Anatole can do it in Paris."

Jeweler Smith's expression changed: "Then, didn't we fall into Anatole's trap? What should we do?"

"Before departure, the Pope and I discussed similar emergencies. Once we arrive in Paris and lose contact for more than three days, London will immediately send personnel to rescue. Let's hold on, as long as the reinforcements arrive, we can leave gone."

"Paris is covered by shielding magic. If you want to communicate with the goddess, you can only escape from the magic-covered area, that is, Paris." Mavi said: "As long as you can leave Paris, the saint Melissa can guide the goddess Till to come back." Druid descends against Anatole."

"Only one goddess is not enough." Archbishop Brandon said solemnly, "This is Paris! Goddess Tilde can restrain Anatole, what about the Knights of the Holy Silver Cross? We alone are not enough! "

"Why don't you ask the envoys of other kingdoms for help?"

A sudden voice in the room interrupted everyone's conversation, and everyone turned around, startling Junia: "Did I say something wrong?"

"No! You are right!"

Archbishop Brandon's eyes lit up: "That's right! Why did you forget about this! The delegation in Paris is not only us, but also the delegation of the Judgment Theology and the Plenty Theology! They must have brought the Holy Maiden !"

"No matter how powerful Anatole is, he can't be the opponent of the three gods!"

"But why did they help us?" Levin asked: "Anatole is only targeting us, he is here for the eldest brother, and other delegations can pretend not to see it."

"The Church of Wisdom wants to dominate one family, that's why other churches help us!" Archbishop Brandon sneered, "In the past 2000 years, there have been many countries that wanted to unify the Central Continent, but what happened? Don't look at the Central Continent as a mess. , as long as there is a certain force that wants to unify the Central Continent, everyone will immediately unite and resist together!"

"Napoleon was defeated by the coalition forces back then, and now they think about it, they really don't have a long memory!"

"Are other delegations also staying in this mansion?"

"That's right, the delegation of the Kingdom of Frederick lives on the second floor, and the delegation of the Roman Republic lives on the third floor. Who is the right one to find first?"

Is this worth thinking about?

When the second prince asked this question, everyone looked at him strangely, and finally he laughed himself: "The Kingdom of Frederick is more reliable."

Although the Kingdom of Sardinia officially changed its name to the Roman Republic, and also changed the consul, but they are still the same group of people, changing the soup but not the medicine, is it useful?

Compared with the Roman Republic, the Frederick Kingdom is much more reliable, at least it will not lose the chain at critical moments.

After making up their minds, everyone acted immediately. The number of people negotiating such a matter should not be too large. After much deliberation, they finally sent Archbishop Brandon, the second prince, and Ma Wei, four of them including Junia. Daniel also wanted to I went, but was stopped by the second prince: "It's fine if your elder brother is here, it's useless for you to go!"

The second prince, who didn't know Daniel's identity, left the first crown prince of Frederick Kingdom upstairs. In order to show a friendly attitude, they also brought a piece of freshly made sleeping toast and two bottles of mercury blood as gifts.

On the second floor, the delegation room of the Kingdom of Frederick.

dong dong!

Otto von Bismarck, who was smoking at the window, heard the knock on the door, put his cigar in his mouth, went to the door and opened it.

"Prime Minister Bismarck?" Ma Wei looked at the strange man in front of him in surprise. He had seen Bismarck's face in the newspaper and recognized him immediately: "Why are you here?"

It is really unexpected that the prime minister of a country will come to Paris in person.

"Nicholas von Manstein"

Bismarck narrowed his eyes, glanced at Archbishop Brandon and the second prince Shukri, and said in Frederick's language, "Are you in the wrong room? This is the floor where the delegation of the Kingdom of Frederick stayed."

Archbishop Brandon and the second prince looked at each other. They didn't understand Frederick, so they could only rely on Mawei to translate.

"Prime Minister Bismarck, we have come here specially to find you." Ma Wei said in Frederick.

Prime Minister Bismarck is a loyal supporter of William V, and he is credited with covering the Manstein family. He came to Paris in person, probably to get in touch with Ma Wei and others, and to check on Daniel's recent situation by the way.

"come in."

Bismarck got out of the way, let Ma Wei and the others into the room, picked up the bottle and poured wine for the sudden guest, and asked, "What do you want me for?"

"Come to seek help from Frederick Kingdom."

"help."

Bismarck squinted at Ma Wei and the others, and said with a sneer, "Isn't it a bit too much for a Frederick to become a citizen of the Kingdom of Windsor and come to us for help now?"
