"you"

In the living room, Fat Orange, who was squatting on the table, looked sideways at Ma Wei with a subtle look: "You want me to test the poison in the middle of the night?"

"There is a high probability that it is not poisonous. Now that we are a cooperative ally with the Witch God Cult, who would poison a gift to an ally?"

Ma Wei pulled out the cork of the bottle, poured the soul potion on the plate, and pushed it in front of Fat Orange:

"Drink."

Fat Orange stretched out his paw and slowly pushed the plate in front of Xiao Hei: "You drink first."

"Master, how could you harm us! Brother, you are too worried! You must be!"

While speaking, Xiao Hei looked at Ma Wei nervously, with pitiful eyes as if he was waiting for his master's conscience to discover that he drank the possibly poisonous soul potion. Who knows what will happen!
"Did you forget that you have a puppet?"

After a stalemate for a while, Fat Orange took the lead to break the deadlock: "The witch spirit puppet captured from Gilbert Wilkin is made of soul. Why not use it to test the poison?"

Yup!

Ma Wei was startled for a moment and then remembered that he still had a witch spirit puppet!
That thing is a pure soul-type extraordinary creature, and it is perfect for testing the soul potion!

"Yugklis should also be able to test poison." Edward said suddenly: "They are floating in the gaps of the world. They are composed of soul bodies and have innate perception of souls."

There is a team of witchers outside the house, and the space in the room is narrow. Of course, the Witch Spirit Puppet cannot be summoned, but Muir is hiding in the corner and letting it test the poison, so there should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Ma Wei called Muir, held the invisible tentacles wrapped around his body, and conveyed his meaning. After a short wait, the porcelain plate on the table flew up, tilted, and the soul potion quickly disappeared.

Muir did not appear abnormal after drinking the soul potion. Instead, he expressed joy and wanted to refill the drink.

Refills are of course impossible.

Each bottle of soul potion is only about the size of a palm, and it has to be divided into portions for several people, so Muir cannot eat all of it.

After setting aside Daniel's portion, Ma Wei divided the soul potion into three even portions, handed it to Fat Orange and Xiao Hei, raised his glass and said, "Do it!"

"Cheers meow!"

Xiao Hei lowered his head and licked the soul potion on the plate in front of him clean. When he raised his head again, he found that Fat Orange and Ma Wei were staring directly at him, and the soul potion in their hands did not move at all.

"Meow!!!"

Xiao Hei was furious on the spot: "You are kidding me!!!"

"How does it feel?" Ma Wei asked.

"I don't feel anything."

Xiao Hei licked his lips and said, "It's cool and has no taste. It's not bad."

After waiting for a few minutes to make sure that there was nothing strange about Xiao Hei, Ma Wei and Fat Orange drank the soul potion with confidence.

The blue liquid entered his throat, and a bone-deep chill hit him. Ma Wei shivered, as if he had fallen into an ice hole, and exhaled a breath of blue cold air. The blue cold air froze ice flowers in the air, like an extremely cold breath. .

After the cold, a heat rose from the depths of the soul, like falling into lava, and waves of heat were emitted from the whole body. Seeing this, everyone was stunned for a moment. There was nothing wrong with Fat Orange and Xiao Hei. Why did Ma Wei .
Suddenly, a light spot floated out from Ma Wei's chest, and Yunia immediately opened the mithril field to block outside perception.

The light spot transformed into Buggy's spirit body, floating in the air. He looked at Ma Wei, who was sitting on the sofa and emitting heat like a ball of fire. He frowned and asked, "What did you feed him?"

"Soul potion!" Levin quickly asked: "What is going on? Fat Orange and Xiao Hei also took the soul potion sent by the Witch God Sect, and nothing happened, but big brother..."

"Fat Orange and Xiao Hei are extraordinary creatures blessed by the goddess, and Mavie Enders is an ordinary person. Can they be the same?"

"Then if I lend my power to daddy"

"No need." Buggy shook his head: "The amount he took was not a lot, and he would only be uncomfortable for one night at most. The Witch God Cult obviously took this into consideration. The bottles they sent were standard, and they were just on the dividing line that ordinary people could not bear. , even if Ma Wei drinks the whole bottle of soul potion, it won’t cause a big disaster.”

Everyone was relieved when they heard that Ma Wei was okay. After a while, Levin saw that Buggy was still floating in the air and had no intention of going back. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?"

"fine."

Buggy said calmly: "He is digesting the soul potion now. If I go back, he will absorb the effect of the soul potion."

"Absorb? Can you absorb brother's soul power?"

"Yes, but I won't do that." Buggy explained: "If Mavey's body is compared to a tree, then I am the clone living in the tree. As long as I don't mess around, I won't do anything to him. He had an impact, and on the contrary, the soul potion was like a big flood. While it submerged Ma Wei's body, it also woke me up. If I go back now, I will definitely stay in the flood, and I will inevitably absorb some of it."

While he was talking, Ma Wei had slumped down on the sofa, and his body no longer radiated heat waves. Apart from still feeling a little hot, he had returned to normal.

After helping Mavi back to the room, no one was sleeping and waiting patiently, only Buggy was floating around absentmindedly.

next day
It was just dawn and the morning fog had not yet dissipated. Ma Wei, who had been in a coma all night, slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother! You finally woke up! How do you feel?"

"My head is a little swollen, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with it."

Ma Wei stretched his neck and turned to look at Levin and the others: "Did you stay with me all night?"

"Well, brother, you're fine." Levin asked, "What are the benefits of increasing soul power?"

"As long as the body allows it, the stronger the soul, the longer the lifespan." Badji said: "Rhodes IV died soon because his soul power was about to be exhausted."

"Since the Witch God Cult has a soul potion that can enhance the power of the soul, why doesn't the Church of the Three Destinies buy some for him?"

"The Soul Potion is not for sale. Do you think everyone can get it?" Bagji said expressionlessly: "The Soul Potion is the essence extracted from countless souls, and these essences often carry the resentment of the deceased, which is the so-called The toxins, the prophets of the Witch God Cult, can extract the poisonous soul agent, but they cannot purify it."

"Only Dambala, the God of Voodoo, can purify the resentment in the soul potion. The value of the soul potion you drank last night cannot be measured in money." "Although Rhodes IV is a king, he is just a secular person. The monarch is not worthy of paying a heavy price to stay alive, and secondly, how can the church, which has always advocated destiny, break his destiny?"

The Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny rarely interferes in worldly affairs. They sit aloof and watch the changes, and they are nicknamed 'destiny'.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that whether it is Wilder, the goddess of health, Nander, the goddess of wealth, or Tilde, the goddess of sin, none of them is the agent of destiny. Only when they are trinity can the real 'destiny' be born.

But if we blindly pursue 'fate' and let nature take its course, how many believers will be willing to follow the church?

The goddess of destiny has three incarnations, using health, wealth and sin to save the world and attract believers, which is itself a part of 'destiny'.

In short, everything done by the three goddesses Wilder, Nande, and Tilde is within the category of 'fate'. Only the trinity, the real goddess of destiny, is coming, which means that there are certain An existence that escapes 'fate' appears.

Just like that year in New Ross City, the goddess of fate pointed her finger at the ancient god's forces from afar.

After staying up all night, Levin and Yunia were both a little sleepy. They were originally going to deliver the soul potion to the eldest prince today, but now it seems that Ma Wei can only take Edward with him.

After breakfast, Ma Wei and Edward took a carriage to Clarence Palace. After handing the soul potion to the eldest prince, they went to visit the second prince.

"Have you given the soul potion to Charles?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the eldest prince said he would act as soon as possible."

In the living room, Ma Wei took the cigar thrown by the second prince and said: "In order to avoid being discovered, the symptoms of the soul agent will appear in about a month."

"Ah."

The second prince's voice was hoarse and his expression was heavy. He had always had some grudges about poisoning his own father, but now that the matter was over, he had to do it.

"In recent days, the noise on Arthur's side has become louder and louder."

Sighing, the second prince talked about the Labor Party: "The coal mining industry, which has not started operations for half a month, has breached many contracts and paid a lot of money. Fortunately, it is summer and residents' demand for coal is not high. , otherwise you will have to go bankrupt.”

"Hasn't the coal mine compromised with the workers yet?" Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, thinking that these businessmen were really very patient, and they refused to let go.

"We must not let go!" the second prince said loudly: "Our retreat will only encourage their arrogance! Once the coal mine compromises with the workers, won't Arthur's prestige be higher? I must persist for a month and wait until one In a few months, the election of a new king will begin, and then we will reach an agreement with the workers!"

It must be said that the second prince's concerns are very necessary.

Nowadays, Arthur's prestige is getting higher and higher. The united workers are a force that cannot be underestimated, enough to subvert any industry. If he retreats at this time, the workers will taste the sweetness and become more united.

on the contrary
The longer the second prince's side lasts, the worse the situation will be on the workers' side, and Arthur will be questioned more.

In order to run for the king, the second prince went all out, spending a lot of money and delaying the workers for a month.

In fact, according to the information provided by Fat Orange, since the coal miners went on strike, their lives have been in need of assistance from the Labor Party, otherwise they would not be able to maintain even the most basic life. This is a huge expense. Although the Liberal Party has also been affected, However, due to the abundant capital, it will not be broken in a short period of time.

"What if the Labor Party continues to launch a general strike?"

Ma Wei asked: "After the establishment of the workers' alliance, the fourth prince has been able to control the workers in the southern part of the kingdom. Once a general strike is carried out, the damage caused will be immeasurable. At that time, the church may also intervene."

The corners of the Second Prince's mouth twitched slightly. Of course he knew the consequences of a general strike. Once it happened, he didn't know what to do.

The last strike was limited to the London area. Even so, it paralyzed the city and affected the lives of millions of people. This time if workers across the southern part of the kingdom went on strike
I'm afraid the church really can't sit still.

"Didn't the big strike not show up?" The second prince muttered, "I don't believe it, Arthur dares to do it again."

Ma Wei, who saw the inner quarrel between the second prince and his fierceness, smiled and stood up to leave without saying anything more.

The next day, the factory foremen blew the whistle, and the second round of the general strike began.

This round of strikes was faster, more determined, and more organized than the last one. The moment the foreman blew his whistle, the workers threw away their tools, closed the valves that might cause harm, and left the factory without looking back.

Workers throughout the southern part of the kingdom went on strike. Countless factories were shut down and the mining areas were deserted. Instead of going home, the workers surrounded the local church and asked the priest or bishop to support them.
After learning about this, the second prince was so angry that he smashed his collection of snuff bottles.

The demonstrators surrounded the Houses of Parliament, and the Scotland Yard police were called in to stop the workers who wanted to storm the Houses of Parliament. There was no problem in the short term, but if it went on for a long time, no one knew whether it would turn into a violent conflict.

No matter how many Scotland Yard police there are, they can't outnumber the workers in London. If they want to suppress it, they can only send troops into the city, but the church does not agree to do that.

"Your Majesty! Sign the order and mobilize the troops into the city! Those workers are so arrogant!"

In the palace, a group of nobles came to the king to complain and wanted to use force to suppress the workers, but Rhodes IV seemed not to hear it and ate his own apples.

At this moment, Archbishop Liviu, who was sitting aside, spoke: "It is not allowed to mobilize the army, let alone use force to suppress it."

No one dared to ask why, and no one dared to question Archbishop Liviu's decision.

At a time when divine authority overrides royal authority, the church’s right to speak is much higher than that of the king, not to mention
A kingdom can be without nobles, but it cannot be without people.

Without the people at the bottom, where would the people at the top come from?
"His Excellency the Archbishop, Coco, the demands of those workers are obviously unreasonable! We cannot agree to it!"

"I don't care about that." Liviu pulled his face covered with age spots and laughed sinisterly: "In short, you are not allowed to mobilize the army."

In the face of foreign enemies, the church and the kingdom are staunch allies, but in the face of the people, the church and the kingdom are on opposite sides. Belief in God must protect believers, otherwise it will lose the reason for its existence. The ancients who created Belief in God have already taken this into consideration .

The ancestors who first created Belief God were pure. They didn't care about nobles or celebrities. Everything they did was just to continue the fire of mankind. This is the basic rule of Belief God.

Just when the nobles were looking at each other, not knowing what to do, the internal affairs officer's announcement came from the door: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince wishes to see you!"

Rhodes IV, who was nibbling an apple, stopped, put down the half-eaten apple, and said calmly:
"Let him in."
