Father Mavie

Chapter 667 Village, Priest (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
clap clap
The sticks slapped the bushes constantly, the leaves rustled, Ma Wei and the others shuttled through the forest with one deep foot and one shallow foot. The sky had just rained lightly. Although the air was fresh, the ground became much more difficult to walk on.

It has been two days since the Dickie ran aground. During this time, they stayed in the forest, ate canned food and gnawed hard bread when they were hungry, and drank water from the pot when they drank. After two days, their clothes were dirty , The hair is messed up, the stubble has grown out, and the whole body exudes an unpleasant smell, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

Fortunately, there is no problem with the direction. Every half an hour, Mavi will take out a map to compare the direction. As a sailor, he is very sensitive to direction. After all, the most important thing in sea navigation is direction. Once lost, the consequences will be disastrous.

In two days, they passed by two villages. Because the village was too close to the city and there was a church, they did not dare to approach and chose to take a detour.

"Nicholas! No, take a break"

Near noon, the second prince couldn't move anymore. He sat down on the rock and took out the water bottle to drink a few sips, but the water in the pot had already bottomed out. He opened his mouth wide and poured for a long time, but only a few drops came out.

The second prince never imagined that he would live such a life, not to mention sleeping in the wild, even without water, his whole body was sore, his back hurt like it was broken, and he couldn't straighten up at all, let alone his feet. It's numb.

"Your Highness, your calf is already swollen." Archbishop Brandon checked the second prince's physical condition: "If you continue like this, you will not be able to bear it."

Archbishop Brandon was not much better either. He was old and his body was no longer as good as it was then. He was already exhausted at this moment, and he was only holding his breath to survive until now.

Ma Wei took out his own water bottle and handed it to Junia. His water was still half full, which was the most among all the people. He didn't throw the water bottle to the second prince until Junia finished drinking.

The second prince received the kettle and immediately filled it up. After a while, he drank the water clean and complained repeatedly: "Nicholas, where have we been? Are we approaching the border?"

"It should be near the city of Mont-la-Jolie." Mavi licked his dry lips, took out a compass and a sextant to observe the altitude and position of the sun: "We are now located in the north of Mont-la-Jolie , I just walked less than 40 miles, and it’s still far from Paris.”

"Haven't even arrived in Paris?!" The second prince suddenly despaired: "It's over, it's over, it's over, I only walked 40 miles in two days, when can I go home?"

Without the second prince and Archbishop Brandon, Mavi estimated that he would have arrived in London by now. Although it was a bit exaggerated, he had the heart of the jungle and could continuously activate the space conversion magic, not to mention how convenient it was.

Now that the second prince and Archbishop Brandon are by his side, he cannot use magic and can only think of other ways.

"Brother, the food is almost finished." Levin checked the food storage and found that they only had half a day's worth of canned food and bread left.

"Need to find a place to resupply"

Ma Wei looked at the map. There are only cities marked on the map, and there are no villages at all. Whether you can encounter a village or not depends on your luck.

After resting for a while, everyone continued to move forward. Fortunately, they found a hunter's cabin. Judging from the dust accumulated on the door panel, no one had been here for a long time.

"Live here today."

Seeing that there are still two hours before the sun goes down, if we continue to move forward and cannot find a foothold, we can only sleep in the wild. It is better to stop early and spend the night in a hut.

The second prince, who couldn't walk for a long time, immediately took off his shoes and kneaded the sore and numb soles of his feet. Several large blisters formed on his feet. He picked them up with the tip of a knife and bandaged them briefly. Now even the soles of his feet are white with sweat. up.

"Archbishop, you and His Highness are resting here. Felix and I went out to see if there are any villages or water sources around."

"The forest is dangerous, let me go with you." Archbishop Brandon said.

"No need." Ma Wei shook his head, pulled out the revolver at his waist and said, "I have a gun, and it's no problem to deal with small beasts. Even if I encounter extraordinary creatures, I can deal with them. You guys have a good rest."

"Alright."

"Dad, I'm going too!"

Junia came running, and she was tired too, but Mavie was going out, and she wanted to follow.

"That's it, Jonas, you stay and gather some wood and start the fire."

"it is good."

Calling Levin and hugging Junia, Ma Wei left the hunter's hut. No one lived in the house all year round, and there was nothing to use. Now they have run out of water, and they need to find a water source quickly.

After leaving Archbishop Brandon and the second prince, Ma Wei didn't have so many constraints. He directly launched the Siren's Tears to rise to the sky, looked around and found a small river to the north, and immediately launched the Heart of the Jungle to move over.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
The river was gurgling and crystal clear, and occasionally a few small fish could be seen swimming. Junia ran downstream to wash her face and hands, and Levin was on the sidelines to watch out. Save water.

"Brother, look!"

As the evening approached, a few wisps of cooking smoke rose in the distance from the jungle. At first glance, it seemed that a certain family was lighting a fire and cooking. After checking the location, after confirming that it was not the city of Mante La Joly, Mavi immediately decided to go over to have a look. road.

Using the disguise magic, the three of them disguised themselves as passing merchants, and walked through the jungle to the village. This is a small village, which should be the territory of a nobleman. There are not only churches but also tall manor villas in the village. The cabins are built around the farm.

"Do you speak Imperial?" Mavie asked.

Junia shook her head, indicating that she would not, and Levine said that she knew a few simple everyday expressions.

"What words do you know?"

"Ahem." Levin cleared his throat and said in Imperial: "My dear lady, you are very beautiful. Your eyes are like the stars in the sky and fascinate me. Can I invite you to dinner?"

".anything else?"

"I can speak bread, red wine, steak, jam, and butter." Levin spread his hands: "It's not good for advanced ones, but everyday language is fine."

"Enough, let's go, go and have a look."

Attracted by the scent, Ma Weiji was really hungry. Apart from drinking water, their food had also run out. If they didn't replenish, they could only go on their way hungry.

The village is very peaceful, the children are laughing and playing in the barn, looking carefree, the men are returning from the field one after another carrying farm tools, and the women are preparing dinner. It caught their attention.

The villagers watched the uninvited visitor without much vigilance in their eyes. Someone came forward and asked who Ma Weiji was. Levin immediately said in broken imperial language that he was a businessman from the Kingdom of Frederick. The axle was broken, so he came to the village to seek help.

Hearing that Levin said that he had encountered difficulties, the villagers immediately became more enthusiastic. Several men immediately offered to help repair the car. Levin waved his hands again and again, politely rejecting the villagers' kindness.

"We are hungry, buy some food, and buy a carriage."

"Oh!" A villager understood, and invited the three of Ma Wei to their home as guests. To be honest, the villagers are so defenseless, it may have something to do with Junia, and bringing a beautiful little girl by their side always makes people feel happy. Let your guard down.

Following the villagers to the house, the other party brought bread, milk and beet soup, as if to entertain the guests, and cooked a few sausages temporarily, and the aroma filled the house.

Mavi was not too polite, soaked bread with beet soup, took out two gold louis coins and put them on the table after eating, saying that he would use them to pay for this generous dinner.

"No no no!"

The villagers waved their hands again and again, expressing that they could not accept it. He treated the three of Ma Wei as guests and entertained them for dinner. This is not a transaction. How can he collect money?

But apart from money, Ma Wei really had nothing to repay him, so he used the excuse of helping to buy the carriage to drive the villagers away, and then stuffed all the livre coins on his body into the tin can on the cabinet.

According to the currency value of Bonaparte's First Empire, 1 gold louis can be exchanged for 10 shillings, which is half a gold pound. equal to 1 soles
The currency exchange system used by Bonaparte's First Empire was not much better than that of the Kingdom of Windsor.

Before coming to Paris, Mavi and the second prince exchanged a lot of local currency. The total amounted to almost two thousand louis. They didn't spend much. Most of them were carried in the form of coupons, and there were not many pocket coins.

Suddenly getting too many tickets may not be a good thing. In order to thank the villagers for their kindness, Ma Wei took out all the coins on his body, which looked like dozens of louis, enough to let the villagers live comfortably for several years. of life.

"Damn! Brother!"

Levin, who was talking with the woman in the living room, saw something, and hurried into the kitchen with a newspaper in his hand. On the front page of the newspaper, Nicholas, Felix, Jonas, and the second prince and Bu Photos of Archbishop Langdon and the others, even Junia was not spared
It’s fine if there are only photos, the key is that there is a reward below the photo:
[Anyone who provides clues or other ways of helping will be rewarded with 1000 gold louis and will attend the mass presided over by Anatole in person]

1000 gold louis!
A reward of 500 gold pounds!
Such an expensive value is enough to drive many people crazy, but Mavi feels that the price taught by the God of Wisdom is too low.

As the Pope of the Church of Truth and the founder of the Manstein Potion Company, he is only worth 500 gold pounds?

What a joke.
It's only 1000 gold louis, Ma Wei can take it out now!

Isn't this a disgusting person!

When I used the identity of Ma Wei, I was disgusted by a bounty once, and I was disgusted again when I changed to the identity of Nicholas. Ma Wei felt that these people did it on purpose
"Big brother."

Levin pouted in the direction of the living room, and whispered: "Do you think this villager will find out that we have a problem? They deliberately brought us home, and then secretly went to the church to report it?"

"This possibility is not ruled out. To be on the safe side, go and have a look."

"it is good!"

Levin activated the Heart of the Jungle, disappeared into the kitchen, and went to monitor the villagers.

Ma Wei sat in the kitchen and waited patiently. Less than half an hour later, Levin came back. As soon as he appeared, the villagers pushed open the door.

"This gentleman! I bought a good horse!" The villager said excitedly: "I talked about the price to 2 gold louis, and asked them to present a box! It's just right for carrying goods!"

Levin lowered his head resentfully, not daring to look directly into the simple eyes of the villagers, he blamed them wrongly.

Although I couldn't understand what the villagers were saying, I could tell a lot from Levin's shy expression and the excited and simple eyes of the villagers. Ma Wei put down the newspaper, followed the villagers out of the gate, and saw a strong brown horse, behind him It also tows a box car, which is specially used for cargo.

Originally, Ma Wei gave the villager 5 gold louis coins, which was more than enough to buy a carriage. Unexpectedly, the other party even mentioned the price to 2 gold louis, and got back 3 coins for him.

Looking at the villagers with sincere smiles, Ma Wei also smiled, and said in the imperial language he didn't know much: "Thank you."

With the carriage, Ma Wei bought a lot of bread and sausages in the village, and brought them back to the hunter's path.

On the way back, it was completely dark, and the dense tree cover covered the starlight. The carriage staggered through the jungle. When encountering a tree blocking the way, Mavi would activate the Siren's Tears to move the location and clear a path.

"Dad, there's someone behind." Junia suddenly said while eating fruit candy.

"Is that the villager?"

"No."

"Oh"

Ma Wei continued to drive the carriage forward while thinking about the identity of the other party. They had already changed their appearance when they went to the village. From the appearance, it was impossible for anyone to recognize them, and Levin was sure that the villagers did not tip off to others.

In that case
The stalker must have doubted their identity.

"It is probably the priest in the village. He saw strangers entering the village to buy food and carriages, and he became suspicious. Or it was the people in the village."

Throwing a mint leaf into his mouth, Mavi took out the revolver in his arms, stopped the carriage in front, and let Junia unfold the Mithril field.

"Come out," Mavi said in Imperial.

There was no response from a pitch-black forest, only the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves. Seeing that the other party refused to show up, Ma Wei glanced at Levin, Levin nodded, and his figure disappeared instantly.

"It seems that your Excellency is still lucky."

Ma Wei took out the Siren's Tears, tapped the ground with his toes, and the trees in front of him twisted immediately, squirmed and separated to the two sides, leaving an open space under the moonlight.

A panicked man appeared not far away. He was hiding behind a tree and following him cautiously, but Junia discovered him.

The man was wearing a black priest's robe and a gold necklace on his chest. He was the priest of the village.

Gently pulling the hammer, Ma Wei pointed the gun at the man. The man was stunned for a moment, then he chattered and backed away, as if begging for mercy, but in the next second, Ma Wei pulled the trigger.

boom!
In the dark forest, the fire flashed away, and the priest fell down in response, clutching his chest and screaming loudly. Seeing Ma Wei coming, he kicked his legs on the ground and wanted to stay away. At the same time, the necklace on his chest lit up, shining golden.

boom!
Another bullet hit the man's chest, and the necklace that had just been lit up suddenly dimmed. The man fell on his back, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his body twitched one after another, his eyes widened, full of fear.

"Sorry, it won't hurt soon."

Ma Wei held the gun against the man's forehead, thought for a while, then moved the muzzle down and stuffed it into the priest's mouth.
boom!
With a gunshot, the priest's body shook violently and he didn't move anymore.
