Father Mavie

After returning from the small town of Baconsfield, Ma Wei began to prepare for the campaign. He transferred a few old workers from the factory and took them to the Eden Church where the potion materials were stored. He got some seeds and consulted The relevant personnel of the church have some knowledge about potion cultivation.

Although Ma Wei has not read the classics on potion planting, the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses is quite accomplished in this area. Among the ancient books handed down, there is a book "Magical Herbs", which records many common potion materials and artificial planting method.

Herbs with special effects are very dangerous, but as long as they master the correct planting method, they can be cultivated on a large scale like crops. Some herbs cannot be planted artificially, such as wolfhead aconitum. Human beings will be infected with black venom until they become human wolves.

These are of course not difficult for Mavi. He borrowed "Magic Herbs", and according to the above contents, he divided herbs into three categories: harmless, harmful and high-risk.

With the help of Archbishop Brandon, newspapers with large circulation such as "The Times" and "Daily Mail" have published detailed rules about herbal medicine, and at the same time require churches to give explanations at the fixed mass every Friday, and then draw A graphic newspaper was posted on the streets and alleys to warn illiterate residents.

Two days later, under the impetus of the church, the parliament urgently passed the "Potion Trading Act", allowing citizens to freely buy and sell potion products, but selling potions, purchasing potions, and storing potions must pass the review of the church , after passing, a business qualification certificate will be issued.

At the same time, the Church and the Manstein Potion Company also began to sell harmless herbal seeds, open up farmland, and plant herbal medicines.

The emergence of a new outlet has caused an uproar in London. Many businessmen believe that this is a good opportunity to make a fortune. They frantically buy fields and establish companies, and want to follow Manstein Potion Company to make some soup.
The nobles also entered the venue. Except for the small town of Baconsfield, many nobles issued orders to the residents of their territories to grow herbs. For a while, everyone was talking about extraordinary herbs, and there were even people who claimed to be experts in herbal cultivation. Appeared, gave lectures, and made a lot of money.

Church of Eden.

"Mr. Nicholas, this is last month's storage list, please have a look."

The monk in charge of counting the inventory put a document on Mavi's desk, and just as Mavi was checking the inventory, Archbishop Brandon and Pope Ubli I came.

"Nicholas, don't be too busy, come with us."

Ma Wei, who didn't know what had happened, put down the documents and followed Archbishop Brandon to the prison of supernatural beings underground in Eden Church. One month later, the number of supernatural beings imprisoned here increased significantly, approaching [-] up.

Pope Ubli I stopped in front of a row of giant glass tanks, each of which was two meters high, filled with seawater, and swimming a burly mermaid.

Boom!
Boom!
As soon as they saw Umbly I, the four mermaids became agitated instantly. They hit the glass with their heads full of fangs, and their eyes with vertical pupils were full of evil spirits.

Compared to when they were just caught, the four mermaids were much weaker, and they couldn't even break the fragile glass tank. The reason for their weakness was the high-level potion Mercury's blood that was dripped into the tank every day. In the water source, it can't exert its strength at all.

Looking across the four glass jars, Ubli I raised his hand and pointed to the mermaid on the far right, and said in a deep voice, "Take it out."

The mermaid in the tank on the far right is the smallest, not as robust as the other three mermaids, and is still in its infancy.A few monks came forward with a hooked fishing net, caught the mermaid's neck, and dragged it out of the glass tank, then covered it with a fishing net, and hung it high.

Just when Mavi thought that Ubli I was going to torture the mermaid and force it to shed tears, Ubli I actually said: "Yes, that's it, Brandon, send it to the Kingdom of Frederick, As a national gift."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, you are."

"Oh, Nicholas, I forgot to tell you." Ubli I turned around and said, "Next month is the birthday of the God of Judgment Seokula, which is a major event of the Judgment God Sect. As a gift, I plan to give this mermaid to them this time."

"As for the remaining three mermaids"

Ubli I thought for a moment: "Before you come back, the church has used various methods to make them shed tears. This time I called you here for this matter. Listen to Brandon, the plant you made Haven't you used the obsession flower yet?"

"Yes, I just feed regularly, there is no blood, and now the obsession flower is still unowned."

"This should be our last resort." Ubli I said: "It is recorded in ancient books that mermaids will shed tears when their partner dies. I plan to use infatuation flowers to make these three mermaids fall in love with human women, and then kill them in front of them." How do you feel about killing her?"

"Wouldn't it be too cruel to do that?"

"There are many female death row prisoners in the prison. They have committed unforgivable crimes and are about to die. In this case, why not let them make their final contribution to the kingdom?" Ubli I said with a smile: "The candidates I have already found it, and the church gave her family a sum of money, and she is willing to be an experiment, as long as the experiment passes, we can get countless tears!"

Apparently, Umbly I intends to use the three mermaids he caught many times. One obsession flower can only have one owner, but one drop of mermaid tears can produce many obsession flowers. If it is reused, it can extract a lot from the mermaid. tears.

"You mean, use the enchantment flower to make the mermaid fall in love with multiple human women, and then execute them to force the mermaid to shed tears?"

"Well, this is just a conjecture. Whether it will be successful or not will only be known after the experiment."

Archbishop Brandon said similar things when he first caught the mermaid. At that time, Ma Wei shied away on the grounds that he did not carry the obsession flower. Now that he mentions it again, he has no reason to refuse.

"The obsession flower is at the grocery store, I'll bring it here tomorrow."

"Leave this matter to you and Brandon, just tell me the result later."

After the confession, Ubli I took a few monks and dragged the mermaid out of the prison.

"Nicholas, Nicholas!"

Seeing Ma Wei staring at the three mermaids in front of him, Archbishop Brandon shouted a few times: "Let's go!"

".coming."

After leaving the prison and returning to the steps of the Church of Eden, Archbishop Brandon asked, "Do you think the church is too inhumane?"

"Fortunately, not only did these mermaids attack us on the way to escape, but they also attacked fishing boats in normal times. There is nothing to be pitiful about."

"You're right to think so." Archbishop Brandon nodded in satisfaction: "For extraordinary creatures, there must never be the slightest bit of mercy. Squeezing tears like this won't affect your friendship with extraordinary marine creatures, right?"

"will not."

"Speak out if you have an impact. It's just three mermaids. How many tears can they produce? As long as you maintain a good relationship with them, you can have as many tears as you want!"

"Not really."

"That's good, huh? Where's your daughter? She follows you all day, why isn't she here today?"

Archbishop Brandon realized that Junia was not there, and suddenly felt that something was missing, and he was very uncomfortable.

"She and Felix sent Jonas to school." Ma Wei said: "I took half a month's leave, and I have to go back to class after all. I didn't go here because I had something to do, and I came back in the afternoon."

"Is your daughter four years old?"

"Five years old in a few months."

"Shouldn't it be time to hire her a tutor?" Archbishop Brandon asked with concern: "I think those nobles hired teachers to teach their children when they were three years old. How can you say that you are a noble family now, so don't live there. A small grocery store, wouldn't it be easy to buy a villa in Regent's Park?"

Hire a few servants, buy a big house, and live a warm, fragrant and nephrite life from now on. It's too easy to achieve these things.

If assets are counted, Mavi should now be one of the richest people in London. Even if he does nothing and sleeps at home all day, his assets will not shrink, but will expand at an alarming rate.

Money can really make money.

The life Archbishop Brandon paints is good, but not the one Mavie wants.

To be precise, Ma Wei has already experienced the life of a nobleman, and it is not that important. What he wants to pursue is a higher level of self-realization.

Like many aristocrats like to do charity, this is also a kind of self-realization.

When a person climbs a mountain, rests and enjoys the beautiful scenery, he will look at higher mountains and will not stop chasing them.

Self-actualization can be far more exciting than enjoying life.

"I want to run for a council member. If I live in a villa and live a life beyond the reach of ordinary people, many people will resent me." Ma Wei made an excuse casually: "Let's talk about it after becoming a council member."

"By the way." Archbishop Brandon seemed to think of something: "I almost forgot about this matter. Baron Frederick set up a family banquet tonight and invited you to attend. The second prince will also be there to discuss about the Election stuff."

The candidate list for members of the Lambeth District has been submitted, and the election has officially started yesterday. In a few days, the polling station will open. All citizens living in the Lambeth District can go to the polling station to vote. The person who gets the most votes will be elected Councilor for Bess.

Ma Wei has now entered the core social circle of the second prince, second only to Archbishop Brandon and Baron Frederick who is related by marriage. Ma Wei is running for parliament, and the second prince must of course help with advice. He does have experience in this regard .

In the evening, Ma Wei and Junia were invited to the Ealing District, the villa of the Frederick family. Tonight's family dinner was very formal, and all members of the immediate family of the Frederick family were present, including the second prince's wife Elizabeth.

"First of all, I want to congratulate Nicholas."

At the dining table, Baron Frederick raised the champagne and raised it to Ma Wei who was sitting opposite him: "Congratulations to the Manstein family for becoming nobles. From now on, everyone will be their own."

The candles were flickering, and the dim yellow light illuminated everyone's faces. The second prince and others sat on both sides of the long dining table, dressed in formal attire, with smiles on their lips, toasting together to congratulate Ma Wei.

"These are all thanks to His Highness. Without His Highness's appreciation, how could I be where I am today?"

Mavi raised his glass: "And Stewart, I must thank him, as the first friend I met in London, he provided me with vital help."

Stuart's face was flushed, he pursed his lips, and drank the champagne in one gulp, too moved to speak.

Ma Wei, who has already reached a high position, can still remember the original friendship, which is really touching.

After some conversation, the second prince was happy, and so was the Frederick family. Everyone gathered around the dining table, waving their knives and forks gracefully, enjoying a delicious dinner.

After dinner, it was time for a break. In the living room, the second prince took out two cigars, threw one to Ma Wei, cut the other and held it in his mouth, and took out the lighter to light it.

"Huh Nicholas, how is the town of Baconsfield going? I heard that you sent someone to help the residents of the town start planting extraordinary herbs?"

Ma Wei lit a cigarette, didn't smoke, just put it in his mouth and pretended: "Now the town of Baconsfield has all cultivated extraordinary herbs. I chose the bog grass, which is harmless. It is a medium-level potion for detoxification. The main material of the potion."

The antidote is a medium-level potion mastered by the Church of the Three Fates. It can remove most common toxins and is widely used. Although the Church of the Three Fates who has the domain of immortality is not afraid of toxins that affect the body, some toxins act on the nerves. , then you need to take antidote.

For example, drowsiness toast, it directly acts on the nerves, the domain of immortality has no effect on it, but the antidote can work, allowing the user to wake up immediately.

"Recently there has been a wave of planting herbs in the city." Baron Frederick said, "Everyone wants a piece of the pie. The last time this happened was when the steam engine was invented. If you seize the opportunity, you might really be able to beat Conservatives, take Lambeth."

When it came to business, the second prince asked Stuart to produce two documents.

"In this general election, there are three candidates in the Lambeth constituency. In addition to you Nicholas, there are Conservative MP Donnel Pat and former independent MP Gus Mendy. This is their profile."

When Ma Wei looked through the information, the second prince said: "In the last general election, Donnel Pat won 8755 votes, a full [-] votes more than the Liberal Party MPs. He is your biggest competitor. As for Gus Don't worry too much about Mendy, he only got [-] votes in the last general election, so he can't pose a threat to us."

"Donal Pat is the vice president of the Pharmacists Guild?" After reading the information, Ma Wei frowned.

"Yes, he has a high reputation in the pharmacist industry and is very close to the church. Half a month ago, he just donated a sum of money to Bishop Fowler in Lambeth."

"Who?"

Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had heard it wrong: "Which bishop in Lambeth?"

"Bishop Fowler, it's normal that you don't know him. He was transferred from New Rose City on the West Island at the beginning of the year."
